Shang Ruyi looked up at him and said calmly: "Am I a fool in Mr. Xiao's eyes?"
??"No, you are a smart man,"
??A smile appeared at the corner of Xiao Yuanshui's mouth, but this time, there were no smile lines on his face. Coupled with the cold light in his slightly bent eyes, his smile was not only unfriendly, but also revealing. With a cold and stern feeling: "It's just that I didn't expect you to be so smart."
??「……」
??"You actually saw through them at a glance."
??Shang Ruyi thought for a while and stopped talking to him. He just said calmly: "It's not that I saw through them at a glance, but Mr. Xiao, you can't hold them down."
??Xiao Yuansui narrowed his eyes slightly: "You see that they are not compatible with me, so what are you going to do?"
??「……」
??"Divide us and let Xingluocang City collapse without attack?"
??Shang Ruyi smiled lightly and said, "This is how Mr. Xiao praises me."
??「……」
??"Although this is a way, that Brother Lu of yours cannot be called a hero, or even a thing. If I continue to deal with him, I will be asking for death. Besides-"
??She raised her head and glanced at Xiao Yuansui, and said, "Since Mr. Xiao also sees it, and I see this, how can I not be on guard?"
??「……」
??"My strength is limited, so I won't do such useless work."
??Xiao Yuansui said: "Then what are you going to do?"
??Shang Ruyi said: "I'm afraid I should ask you this."
??「……」
??"I came here to find my husband, but I never thought about dealing with you. It was you who brought me here. I want to ask you, what are you going to do to me?"
??Xiao Yuansui was startled for a moment, then thought about it again and immediately burst into laughter.
??After smiling, he looked at Shang Ruyi again and said, "Young madam, I want to say that you are a little smarter than I just felt."
??「……」
??"Even you are so smart, then Yu Wenye will definitely not escape so easily."
??Shang Ruyi's heart suddenly sank when he mentioned Yu Wenye.
??Until now, she still has no way to explain why Yu Wenye was defeated in three battles and led his troops to flee after the defeat, because even Xiao Yuansui, his opponent, did not see it. He even sent men and horses along the way. I searched around Huangtu Ridge all night, but could not find his whereabouts.
??Where on earth has this person gone?
??Shang Ruyi thought for a while and said: "I don't know what he was thinking about and where he went. Besides, I can't care about him at the moment. Now, I want to ask you, you take me into this Xingluo Cang Cheng, what do you want to do to me?"
?? Xiao Yuansui smiled lightly and said: "Young Madam, you don't have to be so alert. I told you that the troops were sent out last night just to find Yu Wenye. Meeting the Young Madam was an accident. Even if we bring you into Xingluocang City, we won't What will I do to you?"
??Shang Ruyi said: "If you don't do anything to me, then why don't you let me go?"
??「……」
??Xiao Yuansui narrowed his eyes and looked at her for a while, then smiled and said, "But I don't want to let you go either."
??Although this was a result that had been expected for a long time, Shang Ruyi's heart still sank when he actually heard it. But her face remained calm, and she only sneered: "If you don't do anything to me, and you won't let me go, is it possible that you just want me to help you consume the food in the city?"...
??"That's right,"
??Xiao Yuansui said with a smile: "The bag of dry food that the young lady gave me at the beginning relieved my difficulties and saved my life. People often say that a drop of water repays the favor with a spring. The return of that bag of dry food, What does it mean to waste some food and grass?"
??Shang Ruyi said: "If this is really the case, then I won't be polite."
??「……」
??"I traveled from Dongdu to here for two days, and worked hard all night last night. I am tired and hungry now. If Mr. Xiao really wants to repay his kindness, why not give me a three-foot bed and a table of food for me to eat? If you have enough food and sleep, you will be repaid for your great kindness."
??Even though he had met her once before, he was deeply impressed by her, but Xiao Yuansui never imagined that a weak woman could be so magnanimous in the enemy camp.
??This kind of magnanimity even made him unable to see through it.
??But this feeling of being unable to see through did not make him feel uneasy. On the contrary, he looked up and down with smiling eyes at this noble lady who was still radiant in coarse clothes. His eyes were filled with admiration. Said: "This has been prepared for a long time. Please."
?? Raising his hand and pointing to the back hall, Shang Ruyi felt calm and walked back.
??Behind the meeting hall is a large empty garden. A high platform is set up on the north side of the garden, and there are curtains on both sides. On it are exquisite patterns such as the goddess scattering flowers, which is obviously used for enjoying singing and dancing on weekdays.
??It seems that the officers stationed here are used to having fun on weekdays. It is no wonder that Wang Gang's army can capture this Cangcheng with several thousand troops.
??Through the garden, there is a long corridor.
??Xiao Yuansui led her for nearly a hundred steps, but only reached half of the corridor. A door appeared on the right, and he turned in.
??Shang Ruyi walked to the door but did not go in immediately. Instead, he looked forward along the corridor. There was a small door dozens of steps ahead. After passing the small door, there seemed to be another road, which was long and flat. Don't know where it leads.
??Just when she was lost in thought, Xiao Yuansui realized that she was not following him, so he took two steps back, followed her gaze and looked ahead, then at Shang Ruyi.
??After a long while, he smiled and said: "Young Madam."
??"Um?"
??"Now, young lady, do you want a three-foot bed and a table of food, or have you ever thought about going through that door and taking a look?"
??「……」
??Shang Ruyi looked at the incomprehensible smile on his face and forced a smile: "Eating is more important."
??So, immediately followed him.
??After a while, Xiao Yuanshui led her to the east backyard. It was deep and quiet here. He opened the door and entered the room. The room was also very clean. Someone also set up a brazier to smoke, but the furnishings were not. There is only a low table in the center of the room. Behind the low table is a half-height whitewashed wall, and behind the whitewashed wall is an inner room for resting.
??On the table, a table of fine wine and food has been placed.
??Xiao Yuanshui stood beside her and said with a smile: "Young madam, take a look, are you satisfied?"
??Shang Ruyi looked at the room, then at the food and wine on the table, then turned to Xiao Yuansui and said, "Congratulations, Mr. Xiao, your great kindness has been repaid."
??This sentence is clean and crisp, and it is more resounding.
??For the first time, Xiao Yuansui felt that he was full of knowledge, but sometimes he couldn't speak to a person. ….
??After a long silence, he nodded and said with a smile: "Then, young madam, please have a good rest."
??After that, he exited and closed the door.
??Until the cold wind and light outside were blocked by the door, Shang Ruyi breathed a sigh of relief. She immediately felt weak. She hurriedly walked to the low table and sat down. There was already a layer of breakout on her forehead. Fine beads of sweat.
??Just now, she said that she was tired and hungry because she wanted to avoid saying anything to Xiao Yuansui - after all, this man was too shrewd, and she didn't want the other party to dig out any clues from him before she could dig out any clues from him. Walk some things - but now it seems that she does need to eat something, and even need a good sleep.
??Otherwise, she would not be able to seriously think about the next step and what she should do.
??The current situation is that Yu Wenye "escaped" with his troops and his whereabouts are unknown; Kou Yunliang has decided to pin the crime of defeat and escape on his head; and the emperor in the Eastern Capital City has already killed Yu Wenye. I am afraid that once this matter is implemented, the Yuwen family will be in disaster immediately.
??so--
?
?What can she do?
??Especially after he had been captured by Xiao Yuansui and taken into Xingluocang, this man was still so shrewd. I am afraid that he would have thought of it earlier.
??Although he made a grand statement about repaying his kindness, in fact, both of them knew very well that he must have taken a fancy to her status as Yu Wenye's wife, thinking that as long as he held her in his hand, she would be of some use, so he must He won't let her go easily.
??But maybe, let him down.
??Shang Ruyi smiled bitterly.
??Although she felt a little bitter in her heart, she did not embarrass herself. She picked up the chopsticks and started eating. It could be seen that Xiao Yuansui was indeed very polite to her. The food and wine were also prepared very carefully, at least in this place, it was considered a good one. It's a good experience. Although she was worried, she still forced herself to eat a lot. After having enough wine and food, she went to the inner room. The bed had already been covered with soft mattresses and quilts, and she slept in her clothes.
??This sleep lasts all day.
??When she woke up again, it was already the next morning.
??A few more middle-aged women brought her hot water and food, and their attitude towards her was still lukewarm. Shang Ruyi didn't mind, she just washed and ate and drank. When she was full and full, she recommended The door goes out of this room.
??Outside the door is a bright and spacious small courtyard.
??The heavy snowfall for several days has probably reduced the heavy haze above the head. The sun came out today, and it was bright. It even shone on the thick layer of white snow around it, reflecting an even more dazzling light. , which made the small courtyard and even the entire Xingluocang City brighter and brighter.
??What surprised Shang Ruyi was that there were no guards inside or outside the yard.
??However, it’s not surprising when you think about it. Xiao Yuansui occupied an entire city after all. Even if she could escape from this courtyard, could she still escape from this city? Even if you escape from this city, can you still escape from Huangtu Ridge?
??Even after getting off Huangtuling and Luokou Ferry, there is still Kou Yunliang waiting to take her life.
??Even if you escape back to the Eastern Capital City, there will still be an imperial sword there.
??Thinking of this, a chill rose in his heart. Even the warm sunshine couldn't dispel it. Shang Ruyi shuddered subconsciously.
??With the haze in her heart, she couldn't stay any longer and simply walked out of the yard.
??Walk back for a while along the road that Xiao Yuansui took her here yesterday, and then go up a long corridor. To the left is back to the previous meeting hall, and to the right, walk a few dozen steps. It was the small door she saw yesterday. After exiting the small door and walking forward, the road under her feet turned a corner and disappeared into a high wall. She didn't know what was on the other side.
??She thought for a while and walked forward slowly.
??As soon as she walked to the small door, she heard a loud sound, and two bright big knives suddenly appeared in front of her eyes, suddenly lying in front of her.
