Although he knew that traveling in the snow would be difficult, Shang Ruyi did not expect that it would be so difficult.
She left Dongdu City just before the city gate was closed, and she immediately felt a strong wind and snow. The howling wind almost swept her and her horse into the sky. In addition, the sky became dark, and she could not move alone. Holding a torch high, you can only run in the dark on the road.
The cold wind blew across my face like a knife, causing pain like scraping bones.
The hand holding the reins had no cover, and was exposed to the wind and snow. Not far away, his hands were so cold that he almost lost consciousness. He could only keep shaking in this frozen posture. The reins spurred the horse forward.
This is the second time she has suffered so much since she was a child.
Living happily and pampered by her uncle and aunt over the years has barely made up for the shadow in her heart, but it has not weakened her will. Especially after this wedding, she understands better that to survive in this world, only Pleasure and joy are absolutely impossible.
Life must be and must be a mixture of bitterness and joy.
A determined figure gallops on a horse, galloping through the wind and snow.
Finally, on the evening of the second day, she left the official road and turned onto a small road to go to Luokou Ferry.
Gradually, there was a touch of moisture in the wind.
Shang Ruyi rode his horse forward, and when he turned a corner, his eyes suddenly opened up. An extremely wide river beach came into view. There were many tents on the river beach, with flags and hunting flags. Several tall fences gathered these tents together, and there were many trees all around. There were several groups of soldiers patrolling and checking, and at first glance it was a huge military camp that was well prepared and ready to attack at any time.
arrive!
Shang Ruyi felt happy and hurriedly got off her horse. But after taking a few steps forward, she suddenly felt something strange.
This military camp looks like——
Just as doubts began to form in her mind, a group of patrolling soldiers had discovered her, and they immediately rushed up to surround Shang Ruyi: "What are you doing?"
Shang Ruyi was still calm, nodded to them and said, "Everyone, I'm here to see the general."
"General?"
When the soldiers heard these three words, they all had strange expressions on their faces. Shang Ruyi was worried that they had misunderstood something, so he calmly said: "I am his wife."
The expressions of the few soldiers became even weirder.
One of them, who looked like the captain, looked Shang Ruyi up and down and said, "General's wife?"
"yes."
"How do I know if you are real or fake?"
"You will take me to see the general. Whether it is true or not, you will know as soon as we meet."
"Then, what do you want to see the general for?"
"Important things must be said face to face."
The man looked at her again, sneered and said, "Say it in person? I'm afraid it won't be that easy."
"Um?"
Shang Ruyi was stunned, why was it so strange to hear these words.
What is even stranger is the attitude of these soldiers. They followed Yu Wenye on the expedition. Even if they are not his own soldiers, they are still his subordinates. Under normal circumstances, if they meet the general's wife, they should at least be flattering and attentive, even if they are not attentive. Be polite.
But they seemed to be a little hostile towards themselves. ….
Shang Ruyi felt something was wrong in his heart, but he had no time to think about it at this time. Several soldiers looked at each other and stepped out of the way. The leader raised his hand and sneered: "General's wife, please. "
"..."
Shang Ruyi composed himself and led his horse towards the military camp.
She entered the military camp along a relatively flat road, and someone immediately came over to help her take away the horse. The captain had already sent someone in to report. After a while, a Guardsman came out, still using the same He looked Shang Ruyi up and down with a not very polite expression, then raised his hand: "General's wife, please."
Shang Ruyi's brows furrowed even more.
She came to see Yu Wenye. If the discipline in the army is strict and it is necessary to judge the truth and falsehood, Mu should be asked to come out first.
Pick her up, after all, they are familiar with each other and can tell at a glance.
But now, a guard came to pick her up.
What on earth is Yu Wenye thinking?
She felt more and more uneasy, but at this time, there was no other way to go. She could only nod her head and follow the guard soldier forward. After a while, she came to a big tent. The guard soldiers sent her here, then turned and left. Shang Ruyi took a deep breath, opened the tent door and walked in.
As soon as she entered, the situation in the big tent shocked her.
There is no terrifying scene inside. On the contrary, this large tent is extremely luxurious. Right in front is a huge screen, which looks exquisitely carved and valuable. There is a low table in front of the screen and a soft carpet on the ground. There are also exquisite wine bottles and dishes on the table, which are also filled with various exquisite pastries; behind the screen, you can faintly see a huge, soft bed, which is also covered with gorgeous brocade quilts.
There were several braziers placed around the big tent, and the charcoal fire was burning brightly, but there was no smoke at all. It was obvious that the charcoal was of good quality.
Shang Ruyi was stunned.
At this point, if she had not entered the military camp and walked all the way, she would have even thought that she had entered some kind of palace or the residence of a noble person.
But this is in the military!
Just thinking about it, her brows immediately wrinkled——
Yu Wenye, he is a very diligent and frugal person at home, how could he do this in the army?
As soon as this idea came to my mind, I saw a figure slowly standing up behind the screen, walking leisurely around the screen and walking in front of her.
Shang Ruyi immediately opened his eyes wide.
In front of her was a chamberlain, wearing a gorgeous fox fur, looking at her with an arrogant expression. His gaze was not only rude, but even gave off a very uncomfortable feeling of offense.
Shang Ruyi immediately felt relieved. If he guessed correctly, the person in front of him should be the supervisor sent by the imperial court during Yu Wenye's expedition.
Where is Yu Wenye? Why didn't he come to see me?
Just when the uneasiness in Shang Ruyi's heart invaded layer by layer, the chamberlain sneered and said in a sharp voice: "General's wife?"
Shang Ruyi said: "You are——"
The man said: "We are the supervisor of the army, Kou Yunliang."
really.
Shang Ruyi took a deep breath, saluted him politely, and then said, "Father-in-law, I'm here to see my husband, where are the others?"
Kou Yunliang's small eyes sparkled with a cunning light. He stared at her and said with a smile, "Madam, I want to see the general. What can I do?"
"If there is something important, I will tell him face to face."
"Tell him face to face?"
Kou Yunliang sneered and said, "Then, I'm afraid it won't work."
Shang Ruyi said: "Why?"
Kou Yunliang's face darkened and he said, "Because, your great general Yu Wenye has already escaped from the battlefield, and now his people are nowhere to be found!".
