Noble First Daughter-in-law

Everyone could tell that what she said was "will you do it", but what she actually asked was "dare you dare".

Ashina Zhali Nu didn't speak immediately, but just gritted his teeth hard. Shang Ruyi could almost hear the rattling sound he made when he gritted his teeth, as if he was chewing her bones.The next moment, I saw a cold light flash in his eyes, and then in his extreme anger, he gave birth to a ferocious smile and said: "Of course."

"..."

Shang Ruyi raised his eyes and looked at him. He didn't seem to be too surprised and just said: "Thank you Khan."

Ashina Tsari said: "But, who should I compare with you?"

Shang Ruyi said: "Since the Khan has agreed to my competition, for the rest, I will only follow the Khan's arrangements."

"Follow my arrangements?"

As he said that, Ashina Zari slowly turned around and looked around. Although today is neither a New Year nor a holiday, as long as it is a bonfire party, all the Turks will definitely come out, and they are indeed as Shang Ruyi said, the people on the grassland , everything is based on strength.Those who can sit in the front row around the bonfire, apart from the princes, nobles, ministers and ladies, are powerful warriors. Each of these people is as tall as a mountain, and their ability to ride and shoot is even more extraordinary.

At this moment, after hearing the words of Ashina Zari and Shang Ruyi, these people all stood up.

That kind of ferocious momentum is frightening even in the dark night.

While watching, Ashina Zari said: "If we let our Turkic men compete with you, you will inevitably feel that we are incompetent and bully you, a weak woman; if we let our Turkic women compete with you - "

At this moment, a familiar figure stood up and walked in front of him.

"let me!"

This sentence was not loud, but because of the trembling fear, it had an inexplicable acrimony.

When they heard this sentence, Ashina Zari and Shang Ruyi both raised their heads, but neither of them showed a look of surprise on their faces.

Because this person is Lei Yu.

Just now, when she heard Shang Ruyi say those words that irritated Ashina Zari, she could not sit still, her face turned pale with fear, and she broke out in a cold sweat. At this time, when she heard that there was a test riding shooting competition, especially with When the Turkic woman was competing, she could no longer hold back and immediately stood up and stepped forward.

Although, when they broke out together in Yanmen County, she had seen to some extent that Shang Ruyi's riding and shooting skills were not bad, and he even saved their lives at the most critical moment.

But this is Turkic after all.

And if Ashina Zari wanted to choose, he would definitely not choose someone with average riding and shooting skills. This would not only allow Shang Ruyi to make his own choice after losing, but would also cause great embarrassment.

But in this case, Shang Ruyi has no way of survival at all.

So, she stepped forward immediately.

Seeing her coming forward, Mrs. Jia Yuan, who had originally proposed to let Shang Ruyi be Ashina Zhuxie's concubine, couldn't help but frowned, but at this time, there was no room for her to speak again, besides - her With a roll of his eyes, he seemed to understand what Ashina Tsari was thinking. He could only look at Lei Yu angrily and then silently sat back in his seat.

On the contrary, it was Ashina Tsari, with an "unsurprising" sneer on his face, and said: "Lei Yu, do you want to compete with your 'old friend'?"

Lei Yu took a deep breath and said: "Khan, no matter what, I have married Iasu, and I am a Turk. This is what Khan said at the beginning."

Ashina Tsari said: "Not bad."

Lei Yu said: "In that case, if I compete with her as a Turk, can Khan agree?"

"……sure."

Upon hearing this, a hint of joy immediately appeared on Lei Yu's face.

But at this time, the Turks around them all frowned. You looked at me, I looked at you, with some surprised expressions on their faces.

You know, this Shang Ruyi is both Yu Wenye's wife and Shang Ruohong's daughter. If she falls into their hands, they will naturally kill her. Even if they want to torture her, Ashina Zari can do whatever he wants. , why do you still listen to her words? Why is it riding and shooting?
Moreover, let Lei Yu compete with her.

Since Lei Yu is an old friend with her, he will inevitably want to protect her. If he keeps his hand in the competition, wouldn't it be in line with her wishes?
Just when the people around him were about to move forward to persuade me, Ashina Tsari suddenly said, "But do you know the outcome of this competition?"

Lei Yu was slightly startled.

And Shang Ruyi said calmly: "Of course. If I win -"

Before she could finish speaking, Ashina Tsari interrupted her with a sneer and said: "If you lose, you will have to be Zhu Xie's concubine——"

Having said this, he turned to look at Ashina Zhu Xie. Although everyone was talking about Shang Ruyi being her concubine, he remained silent after rejecting the proposal. At that time, he just frowned slightly, looked at Shang Ruyi, and then took a deep look at Lei Yu.

There seemed to be a little light shining in his eyes.

Ashina Zari said: "No, you are not qualified to be his concubine."

"..."

"A woman like you is only worthy of being his slave."

"..."

A cold light flashed in Shang Ruyi's eyes, but she didn't seem to care, and it seemed that this possibility was not in her mind at all. She said, "Khan, please tell me, what should I do if I win?" Bar."

Ashina Tsari said: "If you win, you don't have to be Zhu Xie's concubine."

"it is good."

"but--"

Having said this, Ashina Zari's eyes were cold and he said, "You are going to replace your father. Do you know what this means?"

"..."

"I will drain your blood, roast you right here on this fire, and then use a knife to cut off your flesh piece by piece, and let everyone here eat it one bite at a time. Your meat!”

"..."

"Let Shang Ruohong take a look and see what happens to his daughter after he does these things!"

"..."

There was no expression on Shang Ruyi's face.

But in my heart, I couldn't help but gasp.

In fact, she had guessed in her heart that after Ashina Zari just said those words, she wanted to replace Shang Ruohong with herself. After experiencing these tortures, it was probably the only way to eliminate a little bit of hatred in his heart. Therefore, she was mentally prepared from the beginning.

But even though I was prepared, I still felt a little nervous when I heard the other party say this.

Especially the way he gritted his teeth, it was as if the torture of the knife had penetrated through the clothes and cut into Shang Ruyi's body with the biting cold wind.

She clenched her fists hard to calm herself down.

He raised his eyes to look at Ashina Tsari and said word by word: "It's a deal!"

Ashina Zari sneered: "Okay!"

|
Ashina Zari gave an order, and the people who were originally gathered around the bonfire began to disperse to both sides.

After a while, these people gave way to a wide and long passage, and at the end of the passage was the huge bonfire. Someone erected a wooden stake in front of the fire and lit it with a torch.

In an instant, the flames on the wooden piles burst into flames.

On the other side, Ashina Zari asked his men to bring a horse to Shang Ruyi and Lei Yu. Each horse had a bow and a quiver hung on its back, with three arrows inserted in each.

Ashina Tsari said: "Start from here and end in front of that wooden stake. Whoever can hit the target with more arrows will win."

After saying that, he looked at Lei Yu and said with a smile: "The life and death of your old friend are all in your hands!"

"..." Lei Yu's face was so pale that it was almost transparent.

She said nothing, only turned to look at Shang Ruyi, but Shang Ruyi had already led the horse and began to walk towards the long road. She only nodded hurriedly to Ashina Zari, and then also led the horse. The horse followed.

During this period, the two of them walked in silence.

But seeing that he was about to reach the starting line, once he got on the horse and rushed out of this line, there would be no turning back. After all, Lei Yu couldn't help but said: "Ruyi——"

"Leiyu,"

As if he had known for a long time that she would not be able to help speaking, and knew the torment in her heart, Shang Ruyi said calmly: "You don't have to worry about me. In fact, I already know the result of being caught here."

"Since you know, why do you need to anger him?"

Lei Yu probably knew that he had reached a "dead end" at this time, and was so anxious that he was sweating profusely: "Yesterday, he obviously let you go, but what you said just now -"

Shang Ruyi turned around and said, "If someone shoots one of your eyes out, splits your country, and destroys all your hard work in the past half of your life, you will be killed because of your status as an 'old friend' and, moreover, only your daughter-in-law." As an old friend, do you want to let his wife and daughter go?"

"...!"

Lei Yu had a lump in his throat.

Shang Ruyi said calmly: "There is no way he will let me go."

"..."

"The reason why I asked you to take me away last night was because I didn't know my father's identity, and also because he hadn't figured out how to deal with me yet. Otherwise, why would we have this bonfire party today for no reason?"

"...!"

Lei Yu's eyes suddenly widened.

Indeed, if the bonfire party on the grassland is not a major festival or victory, it must have other purposes. And tonight's bonfire party is obviously after the defeat of Taiyuan, so logically speaking, there should not be one.

It seems that since last night, Ashina Zari has been thinking about how to deal with Shang Ruyi, and today, he happened to know that Shang Ruyi is Shang Ruoyi from the mouth of General Pasha who came back from Taiyuan. His daughter, with all the old and new grudges, it was even more impossible for him to let her go.

but--

Lei Yu said: "But what you said is just to anger him. Doesn't this make you have no way to survive?"

Shang Ruyi lowered his head, thought for a while, and then said, "Actually, I don't think he will kill me."

"why?"

"If he wants to kill me, he will immediately ask the samurai to drag me down and kill me just like last night. The reason why he keeps talking to me but does not draw the sword immediately in anger is because at this time, just killing me is too much. It’s not enough.”

"..."

"So, I have this little time opportunity to earn a little bit of life for myself."

"..."

"And I said those words to him because, as I am the daughter of Shang Ruohong, I must be tough in front of the Turks, especially the Khan of the Western Turks."

"..."

"Because my father is the one who defeated him."

"..."

"Although my father is dead, being his daughter also represents my father's character. If I grovel and humble myself to survive, it will only damage my father's reputation. And if my father is so unbearable, those who are defeated by my father will Wouldn't he be even more unwilling?"

"..."

Lei Yu blinked, as if he understood something.

Shang Ruyi looked back again, and Ashina Zari behind him had slowly walked to one side of the crowd and sat behind the relocated low table. His tall body was still as strong as a mountain.

She said: "When I was a child, I heard my father mention his 'old friends', especially the Zhali Khan."

Lei Yu said: "What did he say?"

"Ashina Zari is a hero."

"..."

"If he did not have such ability and temperament, he would not be able to unify the Western Turks and once again hang a knife on the north of the Central Plains Dynasty. Revenge and revenge for such a person are different from what ordinary people think and do."

"..."

"I am too humble. It will only make him more angry and look down upon me."

"..."

"I don't need to say more about how a person would deal with someone he despises, or the daughter of his enemy."

"..."

After hearing her words, Lei Yu became quiet.

But her eyes were filled with emotions.

Indeed, hate is not a simple emotion, especially in this kind of "hatred between country and family", and people who are involved in it have more complex love and hatred intertwined.Ashina Zari wanted to kill Shang Ruyi, just a matter of words, but from last night to tonight, from knowing that she was Yu Wenye's wife to knowing that she was Shang Ruohong's daughter, he had not yet taken action, which shows that in his heart , and there must be quite an overwhelming surge of emotions.

but--

Shang Ruyi said: "But now, at least I can give it a try."

Lei Yu frowned even more tightly and turned to look at her: "How to fight?"

"..."

"You want me to lose to you, it's easy."

"..."

"But if you win, you will die!"

Shang Ruyi also turned to look at her: "I can die, but I can't lose."

"...!"

Lei Yu's heart sank heavily, and then his eyes turned red.

Of course she understood what Shang Ruyi meant.

If she loses, she will become Ashina Zhuxie's concubine. No matter what Ashina Zhuxie will do to her, this matter is already unacceptable to her.

In their hearts, a woman's loyalty is important, but not that important. After all, at the moment of life and death, the choice can only depend on her own wishes.However, Shang Ruyi is different from other women after all.

She is not only the Qin Princess of the Dasheng Dynasty, but also the daughter of Shang Ruohong.

She regards these honors and her own dignity as more important than life.

and so--

Should she win or lose?
Today I will combine two chapters into one chapter.
