Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 1130 Idiot!

Shang Ruyi frowned, but sneered the next moment: "You can't kill him."

"Oh?"

"He won't die until he rescues me."

Although she said this calmly, it sounded like a knife scraping across Xiao Yuansui's eardrums and stabbed his heart. He took another deep breath and sneered, "But last night, he almost died."

Shang Ruyi's face darkened.

Last night, she heard someone outside shouting "Yuwen Ye has fallen into a trap", and someone was walking around outside the tent with a bloody spear, saying that Yuwen Ye had been killed. At that moment, she was terrified and almost fainted.

But before she lost consciousness, she calmed down.

Yuwen Ye is Yuwen Ye. He was able to escape unscathed from the life-threatening situation in Jiangdu Palace. How could he be so stupid as to fall for Xiao Yuansui's trick? Not only did he fall for it, but he also died at the hands of the nameless Xiao Xiao?

Absolutely impossible!
So, she struggled desperately. Even though Xiao Yuansui asked someone to watch her before he led his men to kill her, and later these people tied her up, making her feel like she was in hell all night, she always remained awake - Yuwen Ye could not be dead.

Sure enough, when she heard the noise outside just now, she knew that Xiao Yuansui had brought people back. Just by listening to those reactions, she could be sure that they failed to kill Yuwen Ye. To Xiao Yuansui, Yuwen Ye was not only his biggest opponent in the fight for the world, but also his old enemy. If he really killed the other party, he would definitely make a big fanfare and might even throw a bloody head in front of her, making her completely give up.

He didn't do that, so he didn't succeed.

But Shang Ruyi also knew that he had caused such a big fuss, and even the entire camp was turned upside down by Yuwen Ye and his men. This would easily affect the morale of the army. After paying such a huge price, it was impossible that there would be no gain at all.

I don’t know how badly Yuwen Ye was injured. Last night, Xiao Yuansui led people to chase him. Did he suffer any new injuries?

Shang Ruyi's pale lips moved slightly. Fortunately, she still had her face covered with a veil, so Xiao Yuansui could not see her trembling. But when he spoke again after a long time, his voice trembled and became hoarse involuntarily: "Is he seriously injured?"

Xiao Yuansui stared into her eyes and said, "It's very heavy."

"..."

"If it hadn't been for—he would have been dead."

"..."

Shang Ruyi did not speak again. Instead, he took a deep breath after a period of silence, trying to calm himself down, and then said, "It was almost there, but it wasn't. He is still alive, and that's enough."

"..."

Xiao Yuansui looked at her and suddenly stopped talking.

Looking at the determination of this woman, it was the look that made him moved countless times, but at this moment Xiao Yuansui secretly made up his mind that if that day really came, if Yuwen Ye could really overcome numerous obstacles and rescue her, then he would definitely not let him succeed.

He would never let Yuwen Ye take her away from him alive.

Even if it means——

His eyes were heavy and resolute, but Shang Ruyi did not understand the determination in them that could decide her life or death. After she calmed down, she thought of the young man just now, so she said, "But I don't think I have seen those people before."

Xiao Yuansui looked at her again. Although his eyes were no longer gentle, he had a faint smile in them: "Can you recognize all the people under my command?"

Shang Ruyi said: "I may not recognize him, but after being here for so many days, he must look familiar."

"Oh."

"These people look unfamiliar."

"They are from Luoyang."

"Luoyang?"

Shang Ruyi understood immediately after hearing this: "It was Liang Shide who sent people to transport grain back to Luocang. So, you failed?"

When she said "you", Xiao Yuansui's face darkened again, but he did not get angry. He just said coldly: "Indeed, the grain transportation failed, but your Highness the Prince of Qi has besieged Luoyang for so long without any results, and you even let Liang Shide send people out to transport grain. With this kind of idiot as the vanguard, do you really think you can win?"

Upon hearing this, Shang Ruyi's face darkened.

In my heart, I couldn't help but curse with gnashing teeth: Idiot! Really an idiot!

As the son of Yuwen Yuan, even though Yuwen Qian had practiced Buddhism for many years, he was still able to gain great influence when he returned to officialdom and defeat the enemy on the battlefield. Why couldn't this youngest son accomplish anything?

It can’t be because they were born from different mothers.

Although the Guan family was born into a civil service family, he was also born to Guan's wife. How come Yuwen Ye was invincible and rampant on the battlefield, but Yuwen Cheng was just a useless idiot with high aspirations and low skills!

Thinking of this, Shang Ruyi became even more angry.

But facing the "enemy", Shang Ruyi was determined to lose the battle rather than the enemy, so he thought for a moment and immediately said coldly: "Could it be that General Xiao thinks that the success or failure of Luoyang this time will be determined by the battle over there?"

Xiao Yuansui raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at her: "Then what do you think--" Shang Ruyi said: "The victory or defeat of Luoyang will be at Hulao Pass."

"..."

"If you lose, Liang Shide loses!"

Hearing this, Xiao Yuansui looked at her with an uncontrollable admiration in his eyes. He asked again, "So, what if I win?"

Shang Ruyi said: "You can't win."

"..."

Xiao Yuansui looked at her, was silent for a long time, and suddenly chuckled.

However, his smile did not contain the appreciation he had just shown, nor did it show the absurdity he felt. Instead, it contained a hint of helplessness and bitterness. He waved his hand calmly, "Go down."

"..."

Shang Ruyi frowned slightly, looked at him intently for a while, said nothing, then turned and left the central military tent.

After walking out, Shang Ruyi looked back unconsciously.

She didn't know if it was her illusion, but after returning from the failed pursuit of Yuwen Ye last night, Xiao Yuansui became a little different from before. She had no doubt that this man was confident and calm, even though he was in such a mess when being chased by Wang Shaoji, it did not damage his style. But today, for the first time, she felt a little helpless and frustrated from this man.

Is it an illusion?

Just as Shang Ruyi was puzzled, the soldier who led her here came forward and said, "Princess, it's time to go back."

After last night, Xiao Yuansui guarded her more strictly than before. Shang Ruyi just glanced at him and turned to walk towards the tent where she had stayed when she came.

However, just as he reached the door of the tent, Shang Ruyi said, "My previous things were all left in that tent. Were they all burned?
The soldier nodded: "It seems so."

Shang Ruyi said: "The weather is very cold, go get me a thicker quilt."

The soldier hesitated for a moment, and Shang Ruyi said calmly: "There are so many people in your barracks. Where can a weak woman like me run to?"

The soldier looked around. Indeed, even if Shang Ruyi was really skilled in martial arts, it would be difficult for her to leave their camp. Moreover, from her reaction last night, it was clear that she was not a remarkable woman like General Shi who was both civil and military. So there was no need to keep an eye on her all the time.

So he said, "Then, Princess, please don't wander around. I'll be back soon."

After speaking, he left.

After he left, Shang Ruyi did not stand there obediently as he said, but looked around and then walked towards the noisiest place in the military camp at the moment - there was such a commotion last night, and the soldiers were very tired after repairing the fences and tents all night. Most of them were resting at this time. The only place where people were talking loudly was naturally where a stranger had just arrived and the two sides were negotiating.

She walked over and saw the people who had just walked out of the central army tent talking loudly to the soldiers here.

"There are so many of us, and you only give us one tent?"

"You guys are really bullying me."

"Yeah, there are so many of us here, and we have to squeeze into one tent. Is that reasonable?"

Facing their anger, the soldiers on Xiao Yuansui's side were neither impatient nor polite. They said coldly: "What a big tone! Do you know what happened last night? Do you know how many tents we lost? It's good enough that we can spare one for you now."

The other soldiers also echoed: "Let us give you this one, we still have many brothers who have no place to go."

"If you keep making noise, I'll make you sleep in the stinking ditch tonight!"

Upon hearing the last words, that group of people immediately became furious, and some of them raised their fists and were about to fight. The people on this side had been holding their anger for the entire night and were not willing to give in, so they immediately rushed forward, and it seemed that the two sides were about to engage in a fight.

Fortunately, Xiao Yuansui had a few older people on his side who were not so hot-tempered. They immediately stood in front and stretched out their hands to stop them, saying, "We are all family. How can we fight just for one or two tents? Calm down, don't make trouble!"

Among the people coming from Luoyang, one person also stood up and said, "Everyone, we are guests here, so we should follow the host's wishes."

After he finished speaking, he looked up at the soldiers and said, "Thank you brothers for giving way to us."

Shang Ruyi stopped immediately.

Because she saw clearly that the man who spoke in an elegant manner and was not at all like the rude soldiers in the army was the young man who had just walked out of the central army tent and looked back at her.

The hideous and swollen scar on his face made everyone gasp.

Seeing him like this, several soldiers who were in the lead couldn't bring themselves to attack him. They just glared at the others and then retreated. The young man then expressed his gratitude to the soldiers who tried to stop the fight. His behavior became less and less like that of a soldier and more like that of a scholar.

In an instant, the anger dissipated and the soldiers dispersed.

The rest were people who came from Luoyang. They said to the young man unconvincedly, "Guan Chiying, you have a good temper. People are bullying us!"
