One day later, the army set off.
It was said to be a large army, but in fact, as soon as the decree of Shangshutai arrived, the hundreds of sergeants who followed Yu Wenye all returned to Xingluocang, and those who could follow him back to the city were only a few dozen he brought out from Yuwen's mansion. Just soldiers.
As a general of the auxiliary country, such momentum is indeed a bit bleak.
However, when his team entered Dongdu City, what they saw was a different scene - almost all the people in the city came out, and every house was decorated with lanterns and colors, as lively as the New Year. They stood on both sides of the street, facing each other. The general who rode into the city couldn't help but cheered, and some even threw flowers at him.
Even though he was prepared in his heart, Yu Wenye was still a little startled when seeing such a scene.
And Shang Ruyi was even more stunned.
In order not to attract attention, she put on men's clothes and followed Mu Xian and the others behind Yu Wenye. At this time, she looked at the excited cheers and applause of the people around her, and some people shouted in unison -
"General! General! General!"
This overwhelming enthusiasm immediately made her blood surge and her chest felt hot. The hard work and pain of these days suddenly became less important at this moment.
Even at this moment, she somewhat understood why Yu Wenye had the ambition to achieve great things since he was a child and not talk about his children's personal affairs.
The glory at this moment is enough to fill a person's heart.
Looking at the tall, steady figure sitting firmly on the horse in front of him, Shang Ruyi also became happy and couldn't help but smile on his face.
But at this moment, a group of people suddenly appeared on the long street ahead. Like a dark cloud appearing on the horizon, they gradually moved towards them, blocking the sunlight and slowly dispersing the happy emotions around them.
Shang Ruyi's breathing suddenly became heavy.
It's Wang Shaoji and the imperial guards!
I saw them coming over slowly like hungry wolves eyeing their prey, especially Wang Shaoji, who had a gloomy expression on his face, and his eyes that stared at Yu Wenye even glowed red, until He stopped in front of Yu Wenye, and suddenly another face appeared. He smiled politely and said, "Thank you for your hard work, General."
Yu Wenye said calmly: "Why is General Wang here?"
"According to the order, come to meet the general."
"Excuse me, General Wang."
"No trouble, no trouble,"
Wang Shaoji smiled and said: "These are your Majesty's instructions and are my responsibility as well. When I return to the city, I will ask the general to go directly to Dali Temple for trial. I believe the general can understand. The rest - "
As he spoke, he glanced behind Yu Wenye.
Naturally, he also saw Shang Ruyi, who was disguised as a man. He smiled and said: "Young madam, you are really a heroine. This time, the whole court knows that you followed the general on the expedition. However, this kind of thing It’s better to have less, the military is not a place for women like you.”
Shang Ruyi frowned and wanted to say something, but took a look at Yu Wenye and endured it.
Seeing that she didn't respond, Wang Shaoji said no more, only sneered, and then said: "The rest of the people, let them go back to where they should go. Without His Majesty's will, they are not allowed to act without authorization, let alone leave the city. ”….
Yu Wenye also looked back.
His eyes swept across everyone in a hurry, only staying on Shang Ruyi for a moment, but without giving any hint, he turned his head and said calmly: "Okay."
Wang Shaoji was slightly startled. He originally thought that Yu Wenye would turn around and tell the people behind him something. He was even ready to stop them from "privately giving and receiving", but unexpectedly, he didn't say a word. The dozens of soldiers behind him, as well as the young lady, calmly rode their horses and prepared to move forward. Obviously, before entering the city, they had anticipated this outcome and had already made it clear.
Wang Shaoji sneered and said, "Please."
After saying that, he waved his hand, and the imperial guards behind him immediately rode forward and surrounded Yu Wenye from front to back.
This posture is a pre-
Prevent him from escaping.
However, Yu Wenye smiled faintly and said, "I have returned to the city and will accept all the arrangements made by the court for me. You don't have to do this. It seems that you are too petty."
Hearing this, Wang Shaoji's expression changed again.
But he rolled his eyes, sneered again, and said: "The general is really open-minded. In this case, then I will fulfill the general's wish-" After saying that, he waved his hand, and the two people blocking the front immediately rode back to the On the other hand, he himself rode up to Yu Wenye's side and walked alongside him, saying: "I will accompany the general on this journey."
Yu Wenye said: "Thank you."
After saying that, the two teams moved forward together.
From this road to Dali Temple, you only need to cross three streets, but in the middle you have to pass through the busiest market in the entire Dongdu. Their progress was forced to slow down, but Yu Wenye didn't feel nervous at all. Instead, he sat leisurely. On the horseback, one hand holds the reins, and the other hand even hangs down by the side, looking around, as if appreciating the long-awaited scenery.
Wang Shaoji's brows knitted together.
After a while, a lively street appeared in front of them, with an endless stream of pedestrians, cars and horses. The noisy voice was not much louder than the shouts of the people who greeted the general at the city gate.
When he saw the scenery ahead, Shang Ruyi's heart skipped a beat.
In front is Tinghe Tower.
She suddenly remembered that the day before she left Dongdu for Xingluocang, she had also gone there, and the situation was different from what it was now.
Last time, because of the arrival of that special person, everything was cleaned upstairs and downstairs, and there were no outsiders. But now it is full of people, and guests are coming like clouds. Before you even get close, you can hear the loud voices of the drinkers inside. The sound of drinking, talking and laughing made them, who had become accustomed to the silence of Luokou Ferry and Huangtu Ridge these days, feel like they were back in the world of fireworks.
Shang Ruyi was in a daze for a moment.
At this moment, there was a sudden rush of horse hooves ahead. Shang Ruyi looked up and saw a man rushing out of their team!
It’s Yu Wenye!
Before anyone noticed, he galloped forward on horseback!
At this time, Wang Shaoji and his men were stunned. No one expected that he would escape at this time. The next moment, Wang Shaoji immediately shouted: "Quick! Catch him!"
Shang Ruyi was also stunned.
Seeing Yu Wenye galloping away on horseback, her eyes widened in shock, unable to recover at all.
what happened?
Why did Yu Wenye run away at this time?
They have already entered the city. If he wants to escape, where can he go? .
