Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 120 A Delicate Voice
"..."

Yu Wenye's complexion gradually darkened, and he said lightly: "It's nothing, you heard it wrong."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and told everyone: "Go back to the city!"

After the group tidied up a bit, Yu Wenye and Shang Ruyi sat in the carriage, and the rest of the people lined up to protect the carriage and headed to Luoyang City not far away.

These two days I spent most of the time on horseback, and finally sat and rested for a while, but Shang Ruyi was sitting in the carriage, but her body was stiffer than when she was riding on horseback.

Because this carriage is not big, two people sitting in it, almost shoulder to shoulder, elbow to elbow.

But she — because she fell asleep and became unconscious last night, it was okay to be hugged to bed by Yu Wenye. Now that she is awake, she really doesn't want to have any more skin-to-skin contact with him.

It's just that, sitting so quietly and stiffly, the atmosphere in the small compartment is inevitably a little awkward.

After thinking for a while, Shang Ruyi opened her mouth first, and asked a question that had been floating in her heart all night——

"You, you already knew this would happen, didn't you?"

"..."

The people around him were motionless, but Shang Ruyi felt his eyelashes flutter.

She turned her head to look at Yu Wenye with a calm face, and asked again: "This result is something you expected from the beginning, right?"

Only then did Yu Wenye look down at her: "I didn't expect it."

"That is--"

"I can only let this matter end with this result."

Shang Ruyi frowned, and said again: "Then, why did you bring so many people to accompany me on this trip?"

After asking this sentence, she smiled herself.

Why else?At that time, I had already placed all the conditions of the transaction in front of him, so what else could he do for it?
So he said, "Forget it, pretend I didn't ask."

Seeing her smile, Yu Wenye frowned, and said coldly: "Do you think you are smart?"

These words were obviously provocative, but Shang Ruyi couldn't refute them. After all, since yesterday, when he learned the news that his uncle was exiled, all his behaviors were not smart.

She smiled bitterly: "You don't need to be so sarcastic about me, I know I'm not smart. But, I'm a human being, who can't be controlled by emotions? Could it be that if the most important relative to you is in trouble, you can Indifferent?"

"..."

Yu Wenye looked at her for a while, his gaze was still that of a fool.

After a while, he turned his head away and said calmly, "If it wasn't for this, I wouldn't have to take a team of people to accompany you to run so far in the middle of the night."

Shang Ruyi said seriously: "No matter what, I still want to thank you."

"Oh?"

"At least, let me meet my uncle and aunt, and also meet my brother."

Mentioning Shen Wuzheng, the smile on Shang Ruyi's face deepened a bit. This trip, what made her happiest was seeing her elder brother. Although the two of them only met briefly, she knew that everything was safe with him, and that he would take care of Shen along the way. Couple, she can rest assured.

Seeing the smile almost overflowing from the corners of her eyes and brows, Yu Wenye frowned again.

Just then, the carriage stopped.

What Yu Wenye was going to say was taken back by this shock, and then he heard a burst of voices outside, it was the soldiers guarding the city who stopped them.

"Stop!"

Mu Xian, who was sitting at the front of the car, immediately asked, "What are you doing?"

Yu Wenye twisted the curtains and lifted a corner, looked out, and saw a group of guarding soldiers standing in front, and one of the captains was standing in front of the carriage: "The city is under martial law, and now if you want to enter and leave the city gate, you need to provide the correspondence documents." , if not, you can’t enter the city again!”

"Martial law?"

Hearing these two words, everyone was startled.

No wonder they stood by the side of the road for so long just now, and hardly saw any pedestrians coming and going. It turned out that Luoyang City was already under martial law.

Yu Wenye immediately raised the curtain and looked at the soldier: "Why martial law?"

Those guarding the city soldiers all recognized him, they were startled when they saw Sheng Guogong and the second son, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Yuwen—you, why are you outside the city?"

Yu Wenye said lightly: "I don't need to tell you about my whereabouts."

The soldiers looked at each other, and their faces darkened.

The leading soldier said: "Hehe, I'm afraid I need you, Mr. Yuwen, to explain this. Mr. Yuwen was ordered to return to Luoyang a few days ago, so he went out of the city for no reason. Could it be that there is something confidential?"

Upon hearing this, Shang Ruyi, who had been sitting silently in the carriage, also frowned.

This time the emperor will recall all the family members of the generals sent to western Liaoning to the Eastern Capital, just to control them, and will definitely monitor the whereabouts of these people. twists and turns.

Sure enough, Yu Wenye's face darkened.

He thought for a while and said, "I took my men out of the city to hunt."

The soldier said: "Hunting? Where is the prey?"

Yu Wenye winked at Mu Xian, and Mu Xian immediately turned over and jumped out of the carriage, walked to the back of the carriage and opened the curtain. It turned out that there was a small partition behind the carriage, on which there was a deer, seven or eight. A hare and two golden pheasants.

It turned out that although they chased the Shen couple yesterday, Yu Wenye specifically told the two attendants who stayed outside the city to guard the carriage to hunt some things overnight, although it might not be useful, it was just in case.

Unexpectedly, it is now in use.

The soldier glanced at it, then at the people around him, and said, "So many people hunted these things?"

Mu Xian said coldly: "Why don't you do it and open my eyes?"

The soldier was blocked by his words, so he couldn't say anything. He just said: "Please forgive me, although you are out of the city to hunt, but now the order given to us by the superior is that no one can enter or leave without documents. Please also Master Yuwen forgive me."

Hearing this, anger appeared on the faces of everyone.

They just went out to hunt in the city, where did they get the documents?In this way, wouldn't it make them nowhere to go?

Mu Xian immediately became angry, and grabbed the soldier by the collar and grabbed him: "You want to be beaten, right?"

As soon as he made a move, the surrounding soldiers were also anxious, and they were about to draw their swords and rush over immediately, and Yu Wenye's men would also make moves no matter how angry they were.

Seeing that the two sides were about to fight, suddenly, a voice that was neither high nor low, with a sweet and innocent voice floated over——

"You all stop."

Upon hearing this voice, no one else responded, but Shang Ruyi who was sitting in the carriage froze for a moment, and immediately grasped the corners of her clothes convulsively with both hands on her knees.

This voice is-
