Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 1135 What a fool!
Just after breakfast the next day, Guan Chiying and his brothers, as well as a team of people sent by Xiao Yuansui, left the camp, crossed the Yellow River, and headed towards Luoyang.

Although there would certainly be dangers along the way, everyone's faces showed some relief at the thought of being able to return to Luoyang and at least protect their families, except for the hot-tempered young man who looked impatient.

Not only was he impatient, he also had several bruises on his face and his eyes were filled with anger.

Early in the morning, he had a big quarrel with someone because the hot water left for them by the cook had been used by someone else and had gone cold. This time, Guan Chiying did not mediate or console them. He even gently pulled back Boss Xu who wanted to mediate when no one was paying attention. As a result, the quarrel between the two sides became more and more intense, and finally the young man started fighting with the other party.

Soon, the chaos here alarmed Xiao Yuansui.

He came with Hua Ziying and others with an unsuspecting look on his face, and was about to punish the person who caused the conflict. Suddenly, he turned around and saw Shang Ruyi in front of the tent on the other side. She stretched her neck to look over here with a thoughtful expression on her face. When she found that Xiao Yuansui saw her, she immediately turned around and went back into the tent.

Xiao Yuansui's eyes flickered imperceptibly.

Then, he punished the soldiers who had fought with them, dragged them away and beat them with twenty military sticks each. After questioning Xu Lao Da and others, he returned to the central military tent and soon sent someone to pass on a message. He sent someone to go back to Luoyang with Guan Chiying and others, and set off immediately. The most important thing was to ask them to go back and remind Liang Shide that although there was a shortage of food in Luoyang City now, he had to survive this period no matter what. As long as Hulao Pass was broken, he could immediately send troops to Luoyang to defeat Yuwen Cheng who was besieging the city.

So, Guan Chiying and others set off immediately after breakfast.

And now, while riding on the horse and listening to the whistling wind, Shang Ruyi's calm and solemn voice seemed to echo in his ears -

"Xiao Yuansui is a suspicious person by nature. I asked you twice about your origins yesterday, so he must be alert. Therefore, the best way to get him to send you away is to let your people have a little conflict with his people. Then, as long as he finds out that I am plotting against you, he will have to solve the problem, and the most thorough way is to send you away."

He originally thought that this method was too mysterious and might not work, but there was no other way at the moment, so he could only give it a try.

Who knew it would work?

He couldn't help but sigh softly, and in his heart he admired the Princess of Qin even more - she dared to make such a plan, which showed that she was bold and careful, and she was well versed in human nature and full of strategies. Just when he was a little absent-minded, Boss Xu on the side whipped his horse twice and ran to his side, saying softly: "Brother Guan."

Guan Chiying immediately came back to his senses, and when he looked at Boss Xu, his expression became even more cautious: "What's the matter?"

Shang Ruyi's plan was effective, and they were able to embark on the journey back to Luoyang at this moment. One of the key parts was to have someone fight with Xiao Yuansui's men. Not only did he change his usual good attitude, he also kept pulling Boss Xu, who usually managed everyone, until the young man and the other party rolled to the ground, and someone went to report to Xiao Yuansui before he let go. Others might not notice this, but Boss Xu, who was being held by him, could not have failed to notice it. After he let go, Boss Xu even looked at him strangely, and then he didn't speak again.

until now.

Seeing Guan Chiying's cautious look, Boss Xu also had some doubts in his eyes, but he remained calm and only asked in a low voice: "Can we really protect our families when we go back this time?"

Guan Chiying forced a smile and said, "Brother Xu, why are you suddenly worried about this?"

Boss Xu sighed and said, "We lost the battle after all, General Chen was killed, and we didn't get the food back. If we are punished--"

Guan Chiying glanced forward and saw that the team in front was led by Xiao Yuansui. He lowered his voice and said, "We are not doing a good job, and there is nothing we can do about it. But this time we have General Xiao's people to guarantee us - whether we live or die depends on fate."

Hearing him say this, Boss Xu sighed, and Guan Chiying looked at him carefully again. The two of them said nothing more to him along the way.

They galloped almost non-stop for the entire day, until dawn the next day, when they finally saw the tall and majestic Luoyang city in front of them in the first ray of sunlight that dispelled the night.

However, their speed immediately slowed down.

This time they took a detour to the north and wanted to enter Luoyang through the north gate, because Yuwen Cheng's camp was in the south, close to Luo River, and the main force of the attack was also in the south - of course, this was before, when General Chen Cai led them to break out of the city a few days ago and took advantage of this. I wonder if Yuwen Cheng, who suffered this loss, will change his previous tactics and switch to a comprehensive encirclement of Luoyang City.

If this is the case, then they will probably have to go through a fierce battle before they can enter Luoyang this time.

But after slowing down and listening carefully to the movements around them, they found that there seemed to be no military camps or ambushes within a few miles.

Could it be that Yuwen Cheng has not learned from the last lesson and still has not besieged Luoyang City?

If this is true, then God is helping me!

Everyone thought so, but they were also worried that this was just a trick by the other party to lure the enemy. Guan Chiying and Boss Xu led the people behind them to hold the reins as tight as possible, letting the horses under them step lightly on the grass that was already a little withered and as soft as thick bedding, and moved forward tentatively little by little. The early morning light gradually outlined the surrounding mountains, rivers and plants. If there were really soldiers hiding there, they would be able to see some of them at this time.

But still not there, a wide road under my feet led straight to Luoyang City ahead!

Everyone was overjoyed, especially Boss Xu, who was so excited that he lowered his voice and said, "It seems that this place has not been occupied by Yuwen Cheng's troops yet. Let's go back quickly!"

Others around also echoed: "This is great!"

Someone heaved a sigh of relief, loosened his hand from the hilt of the knife that was already wet with cold sweat, and said softly: "I thought we would have to fight again no matter what, but I didn't expect it to be an empty goal."

"Haha, it's more than just an empty door. I think Yu Wencheng's head is empty!"

"Yes, he's just a straw bag!"

Listening to the ridicule from the crowd, although Guan Chiying felt relieved, a look of worry could not help but appear in his eyes - Yuwen Cheng, what a fool!

He had suffered a loss before, so he let Chen Cai lead everyone out of the city to get food from Luocang. Unexpectedly, he did not learn the lesson at all and still did not completely cut off Luoyang's food supply. If he was really allowed to attack Luoyang, I am afraid that by the time he dies of old age, the sturdy city of Luoyang will not be breached!

Thinking of this, he sighed deeply.

Suddenly, Boss Xu beside him turned to look at him: "Brother Guan, what's wrong?"
