Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 1131: Sharing the same robe with my son
Hearing this name, Shang Ruyi's heart beat violently.

At the same time, a voice anxiously calling her sounded behind her: "Princess! Why are you here?!"

Shang Ruyi looked back and saw that it was the soldier she had just sent away, running towards her hurriedly with a quilt in his hand. It was obvious that he had returned to the door of the tent and didn't see her, so he was worried that she had run away, so he came to look for her.

Shang Ruyi immediately said: "I'm fine, come and take a look."

The soldier was relieved to see that she had not left. He walked over and said, "There is nothing to see here. General Xiao does not allow the princess to wander around. You should go back quickly."

Shang Ruyi smiled and followed him.

Just as the two of them turned to leave, the young man named Guan Chiying, who was among the people who had just made a fuss, happened to hear the call. He immediately frowned and looked over here, only to see Shang Ruyi's departing back.

His eyes suddenly became deeper.

However, he did not get dragged into this somewhat surprised and tangled mood, but immediately said to the soldiers around him who were still looking uneasy: "General Chen is dead, we can't go back to Luoyang for the time being, and we are now on someone else's territory. People have to bow their heads under the eaves, you still understand this truth, right?"

"..."

Everyone looked at each other, but no one said anything.

Guan Chiying sighed again, and then said: "No matter what, let's get through this difficult time first. Our families are all in Luoyang City. If we don't want anything to happen to them, we have to find a way to go back."

The middle-aged soldier and several others nodded when they heard this.

A few people showed disdain, but because of the mood of the people around them, they didn't say anything. Guan Chiying raised his hand and pointed at the tent: "It's enough to shelter from the wind and rain. Let's go in and rest first. I'll talk to the people over there and find us some clean clothes to change into."

The middle-aged soldier said, "You go ahead, I'll watch them."

Guan Chiying nodded, turned around and left, and the other soldiers also entered the tent reluctantly under the persuasion and intimidation of the middle-aged man.

Guan Chiying walked to the other side and soon met the soldiers who had just been assigned to their tents. He stepped forward and said, "Excuse me, our clothes are all unwearable. Can you give us a few sets of clothes to change into?"

Seeing his gentle attitude, the men were no longer as hostile as before and simply said, "We don't have any other clothes here, only military uniforms. Are you willing to wear them?"

Guan Chiying immediately smiled and said, "We are brothers from the same group, so we are naturally comrades in arms."

These soldiers were all rough and didn't know what "fellow soldiers" meant, but they didn't want to hit someone who smiled at them. Moreover, this young man had been accompanying them carefully and spoke in a friendly and pleasant manner, so their attitude towards him softened. One of them responded, "Well, I'll bring it to you later."

Guan Chiying smiled and said, "Thank you."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "We brothers have come here, and we don't know when we can return to Luoyang. We have troubled you all these days. If you need our help, please let us know. We will never stand idly by."

Hearing him say this, those people were even less likely to get angry. Instead, they felt a little embarrassed about their arrogant attitude just now, and just said angrily: "Okay."

Guan Chiying looked around again and said with a smile: "Actually, this military camp is really well arranged. It's much better than the one we were in the city before. There are even women here." The soldiers were stunned: "Where are the women?"

Guan Chiying immediately said, "Just now, we saw a woman walking into the central army tent with her face covered - is she General Xiao's lover?"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other and burst into laughter. One of them said, "Stop talking nonsense. She is not General Xiao's lover, but the Princess of Qin from Sheng State!"

"What!?"

Even though he was prepared, Guan Chiying was still inevitably surprised when he heard the words "Princess Qin". He thought about it and immediately laughed, "Shouldn't the Princess Qin of Sheng Country be in Daxing City? How could she be here? We are brothers talking, don't try to fool me."

Those people laughed again and said one after another: "Who is trying to fool people with this! That's the Princess of Qin. I heard her name is something like Ruyi."

"Yes, it's Ruyi. That's what I heard General Xiao call her the other day."

"Speaking of which, the general treated her——"

At this point, everyone showed a little bit of caution, but someone still couldn't help saying, "Although they are not lovers, they are almost the same. Look at General Shi, he has been caring for the Qin Princess these days since he captured her. He has been treating her well and treating her well. Even that beautiful lady didn't get such treatment."

Guan Chiying listened quietly at the side, and then asked curiously: "There is also a woman?"

The soldiers looked at him and thought they had said too much, so they waved their hands and said, "Alright, these things have nothing to do with you, stop asking. Go back quickly, and we will find some clothes for you later."

Guan Chiying smiled and said, "Okay, okay."

After saying that, he turned around and walked back, looking around carefully as he walked. The soldier who had just called the Princess of Qin was now walking out of a tent not far away. Guan Chiying saw the location of the tent clearly and went back without saying a word.

This day was extremely long.

Although there was no fighting on this day, nor any swordplay or bloody combat, most soldiers felt that this seemingly peaceful day was longer than the days of fighting with swords in the past.

Fortunately, this long day was finally over. After escaping back from Luocang, they had barely settled down. General Xiaoshi was ordered to stay in his own tent and not go out for the time being. People were constantly coming in and out of the central army tent. Xiao Yuansui was obviously thinking about the next countermeasures.

And their only countermeasure is to send troops as soon as possible!
Hua Ziying finally said to Xiao Yuansui: "Our rations are less than five days' worth. According to those people, the situation in Luoyang is more serious. If we can't repel the people at Hulao Pass immediately, if Liang Shide can't hold on and the city is breached, then we will have no way out."

"..."

"Why not take advantage of this opportunity? Yuwen Ye is injured and the Princess of Qin is in our hands. Let's fight him once!"

"..."

Xiao Yuansui did not speak immediately, but his eyes were filled with murderous intent.
