Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 1161 Siblings
Both of them moved quickly, and after finishing their meal, there was still some time before they set off.

Shang Ruyi asked: "Who are you taking with you to Luoyang this time?"

Yuwen Ye was gargling, and when he heard this he turned around and glanced at her. Before he could answer, Shang Ruyi asked again, "Will General Shentu go? Will my brother go?"

Hearing the last few words, Yuwen Ye snorted lightly, turned around, spat out water, wiped the corners of his mouth and said coldly: "You just want to ask whether your brother is going or not."

As soon as she saw him like this, Shang Ruyi knew that he and Shen Wuzheng must be unhappy again.

In fact, during the time she was captured by Xiao Yuansui, she thought carefully about every person and every thing in Hulao Pass. It was not that she was worried about the country and the people, but if she did not fill her mind with some people and things, she would be easily overwhelmed by fear and helplessness when trapped in the enemy camp. At the same time, she also wanted to predict the actions of Yuwen Ye's side. If there was any place where she could contribute, perhaps she could contribute - the Qin King's flag was her idea.

At the same time, she also anticipated that Shen Wuzheng would be worried when the news of her arrest spread.

When he and Yuwen Ye had a grudge and a disagreement in the past, he even attacked Yuwen Ye directly. Even if he didn't do it this time, he would probably blame Yuwen Ye in his heart for not protecting him.

Now looking at Yuwen Ye's attitude, it's true...

However, nothing serious should have happened. After all, when she was sent back to the garrison last night, she heard from afar that Yuwen Ye asked his men to hand over all the surrendered soldiers to the recorder for registration.

So she didn't act pretentiously, just blinked her bright eyes and asked, "Is he going?"

Seeing her so frank, Yuwen Ye was somewhat annoyed, and snorted in his heart: "He won't go. He and Shentu Tai will both stay at Hulao Pass."

"Oh……"

Shang Ruyi nodded.

After all, they had just experienced a great battle yesterday, and the surrendered soldiers alone almost filled the Hulao Pass. At this time, the commander-in-chief has to leave again, and useful people must be left behind to keep the situation under control. Shen Wuzheng and Shen Tutai, one civil and one military, are capable of taking on the task.

Shang Ruyi said: "Then, I'll go see my brother."

After saying that, she went over to open the door, but as soon as she opened it, she saw a tall figure standing outside the door. It was none other than Shentu Tai, who was going to stay at Hulao Pass.

At this moment, he had changed into casual clothes. It was a little chilly in early autumn, but he was still wearing only a single layer of clothes. The thin clothes were tightly attached to his sturdy body, and the bulging muscles underneath could be clearly seen, full of strength. Shang Ruyi immediately stopped and said, "General Shentu?"

When Shentu Tai saw her coming out, he hurriedly bowed to her and said, "Greetings, Princess."

As he bent down, Shang Ruyi saw that there was another person following him, Shi Yutao, who was glancing at her with an awkward look on his face and also bowed to her hastily.

Shang Ruyi blinked, but before she could say anything, Yuwen Ye had already walked behind her. Seeing the two of them, he spoke directly to Shi Yutao: "Didn't I tell you yesterday that I would take you to Luoyang today? You should be outside getting ready now."

In yesterday's battle, most of the generals under Xiao Yuansui were killed or injured. The only ones who survived unscathed were the Shi siblings. Shi Yuxin had been captured by them a long time ago and was imprisoned in Hulao Pass, so he avoided this battle. Although Shi Yutao was knocked off his horse by Yuwen Ye's divine arm bow, he was not seriously injured. Besides, he was a young man and only needed to rest.

However, when Shang Ruyi heard Yuwen Ye say that he would take him to Luoyang today, he was still stunned.

Go to Luoyang and take him with you?

He fought a big battle with them yesterday. Even if he surrendered, he was a newly captured general. Can we take him to Luoyang today?
There was no time to ask questions at this time. Besides, Shang Ruyi never questioned Yuwen Ye when he was handling things. Doing so would affect his prestige as the King of Qin and the General of Tiance. So he suppressed his doubts, stepped aside, and looked at them quietly and vigilantly.

After yesterday's battle, the arrogance between Shi Yutao's eyebrows seemed to have been reduced by the fact of defeat. When he saw Yuwen Ye, he even had a hint of fear. He wanted to say something several times but stopped himself. Finally, Shentu Tai said, "He said that before leaving, he wanted to say goodbye to his sister. I dare not make a decision on my own, so I came to ask for your permission."

Yuwen Ye frowned slightly.

Shen Tutai clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness, since I am staying behind to guard Hulao Pass, I am also responsible for everything here. Why not let the siblings meet? It will be good for Shi Yuxin... It will make her feel more at ease."

Yuwen Ye looked at him quietly for a while.

After a while, he said, "Okay."

Upon hearing this, they both said happily, "Thank you, Your Highness."

The two of them turned and left, and Shang Ruyi followed them out. Seeing her like this, Yuwen Ye sighed helplessly - they came back too late yesterday, and there were 80,000 surrendered soldiers that they needed to take care of, so everyone was too tired. And today they had to rush to Luoyang, so there was no time to deal with and face many things. But he knew that Shang Ruyi must have a hurdle in his heart about Shi Yuxin, the female general who captured him.

When she heard that they were going to see her, she couldn't help but follow them.

Although Yuwen Ye was helpless, he did not stop her, and the group walked to the stone house where Shi Yuxin was imprisoned. However, Shang Ruyi thought about it and stopped at a distance - even if they were all surrendered generals, they were still a meeting of siblings, and it seemed a little tactless for her to run up and stand between them.

Shentu Tai went over and waved his hand to call back the soldiers guarding the door, then walked forward and knocked on the door.

After a while, the door opened. Because she was standing far away, Shang Ruyi could only see a piece of clothing fluttering out, but the cold and sharp aura of Shi Yuxin immediately stained her heart, and she couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Shentu Tai said to the people inside the door: "General Shi."

"General Shentu, what can I do for you?"

"I dare not,"

Shen Tutai turned slightly to reveal Shi Yutao behind him and said, "Xiao Yuansui was defeated, and he and his generals, along with your brother, all surrendered to His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin. Today, His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin is going to attack Luoyang and will take him with him. He came to say goodbye to you."

"Oh……"

There was only a moment of silence before Shi Yuxin said calmly, "Thank you for your help, General Shentu."

It seems that although she was imprisoned, she was not completely indifferent to what was happening outside; what's more, the entire Hulao Pass was in turmoil almost all night last night. She must have known that the battle was over and was mentally prepared for Xiao Yuansui's defeat. At this moment, she quickly accepted this fact.

Then, Shi Yutao walked up from behind Shentutai and whispered to the person inside the door: "Sister——"

With a loud and heavy slap, he was interrupted.

This not only shocked Shang Ruyi, but also Yuwen Ye and Shentu Tai, whose eyes widened in shock. Shi Yutao, the usually unruly young man, now stood there obediently like a quail, without even a hint of dodging, as if he had anticipated and prepared for this result.

He licked the corner of his mouth and said, "I—"

He still couldn't finish his words because he was slapped again, causing his entire face to tilt to one side.

This time, he raised his hands to cover his face, and stared at the person in front of him with his red eyes, but there was no rudeness or unruliness anymore, only instinctive shrinking and fear, and he even took a step back.

But before he could take this step back, the hand inside the door raised again, but instead of slapping him down immediately, it said coldly: "Let go!"

More effective than a military order, he lowered his hand that was covering his face.

So, after receiving two slaps, he received the third slap on his red and swollen cheek. This slap was particularly hard, and even Shang Ruyi, who was standing some distance away, couldn't help but squint his eyes and cover his face with his hands.

Although she had long seen through Shi Yutao's behavior and the way people around them addressed the brother and sister, and had also seen Shi Yutao's unwillingness to accept the result, no matter how unwilling he was, he seemed to be suppressed by something invisible as he stood in front of Shi Yuxin. He obediently took three slaps, his face swollen, and in the end he could only lower his head, his chest heaving violently. Obviously he was still unwilling to accept the result, but he didn't dare to say anything more in front of her.

After the man inside the door slapped them three times, he said coldly, "Go ahead."

"I--"

As soon as he opened his mouth, Shi Yutao suddenly stopped and spat out a mouthful of blood. His tongue was broken when he was beaten just now. But when he finally cleared his throat, he was still hesitant when he was about to speak again: "Sister, I——"

"okay,"

Shi Yuxin interrupted him coldly and said, "You have been useless before. If you are useless this time, then you should not go to the battlefield again in the future, so as not to lose our Shi family!"

Shi Yutao's face, which was originally swollen and red from being beaten by her, now turned slightly pale.

His Adam's apple rolled up and down, and he said, "I understand."

After that, he was silent for a moment, then whispered: "I, will never dare to do it again..."

Shi Yuxin thought: "Just go."

After saying that, he closed the door neatly.

Shi Yutao stood at the door. After a long while, he wiped his face, turned around and walked away. Seeing his cheek so red and swollen that it was a little deformed, Shang Ruyi couldn't help but gasp.

Yuwen Ye looked down at her: "What's wrong?"

Shang Ruyi said softly: "Your attack is quite heavy..."

Yuwen Ye snorted coldly and said, "An elder sister is like a mother. Besides, with such a capable elder sister, do you think his life will be easy?"

Although they all saw that Shi Yutao was eager to make achievements because he wanted to surpass his sister and have everyone recognize that he, the "Little General Shi", was also the "General Shi", but this fact also proved that his sister was always above him and was a peak that he could never surpass; now it seemed that Shi Yuxin was not only better than him in the ability to lead troops and fight, but perhaps this sister had completely suppressed him since he was a child, which made him so eager and frustrated.

Yuwen Ye said coldly: "Not every family is like yours, where brothers and sisters are close to each other and brothers and sisters are respectful to each other."
