When they arrived at the banyan temple dining hall, some people had already finished their breakfast and left. There were not many people inside at the moment. After they sat down, Tu Sheer immediately brought some vegetarian food, which was just a few steamed buns and a few bowls. Porridge and some water for cooking.
Everyone sat down and ate separately.
While Shang Ruyi was immersed in eating, he couldn't help but look up at Yu Wenye sitting opposite.
At this moment, he was still handsome and energetic, but he didn't look like he did in the room just now. He seemed to be a different person, and he was talking seriously to the monk next to him.
Looking at his polite appearance now, who would have thought that last night he was like a ferocious beast that had been hungry for a long time. No matter how he begged for mercy, cried, or even broke down several times under him, he would never Didn't let her go.
For a moment, she even thought that she might die in this solemn Buddhist temple because of this blasphemous joy.
Thinking of this, Yu Wenye happened to turn his head to look at her, and when their eyes met, Shang Ruyi couldn't help but blush again, and hurriedly lowered his head.
A faint smile appeared at the corner of Yu Wenye's mouth.
After finishing breakfast soon, they went back to their room to pack up and prepare to leave. Before leaving, Shang Ruyi accidentally saw Yu Wenye giving the monk some money.
When going down the mountain, she walked up to Yu Wenye and asked softly: "Why did you give them money?"
Yu Wenye glanced down at her, with a smile in his eyes.
"Compensation."
"Compensation? Compensation for what? Did we break something?"
"It wasn't damaged at all, it just stained someone else's bedding."
"bedding?"
Shang Ruyi suddenly understood, his face turned red with embarrassment, he glared at him and stopped talking.
Soon they arrived at the foot of the mountain. The boat from yesterday was already waiting for them at the ferry. Yu Wenye stepped forward, but did not get on the boat immediately. Instead, he turned around and stretched out his hand to Shang Ruyi.
Shang Ruyi blushed again, but obediently reached out to hold his hand and followed him onto the boat.
When everyone got on the boat and sat down, the boatman held the bamboo pole against the stone, and the boat swayed away from the shore and headed towards the other shore.
Although she had been in a good mood before, as soon as she sat on the boat, Shang Ruyi's breathing became tense involuntarily. She especially felt a gust of cold and wet wind blowing through her muscles and bones. She could not restrain a shiver, and her face turned pale. He also became pale.
At this moment, a hand reached out and hugged her gently.
Shang Ruyi raised his head and met those gentle eyes, and saw Yu Wenye looking down at her - it seemed that his eyes had been falling on her since getting on the boat. At this moment, he said softly: "If you are afraid, just Close your eyes. I'm here anyway."
Anyway, I'm here.
These four words seemed to dispel the coldness that came from nowhere. Shang Ruyi looked at him, feeling a little absent-minded for a moment.
After a while, she nodded and closed her eyes.
As soon as he closed his eyes, the familiar panic almost immediately followed him, but this time, there was a powerful presence beside him. His breathing, even his breath, was clearly invisible, but it seemed to be actually surrounding him. , actually prevented her from falling into the boundless darkness. ….
Shang Ruyi breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile slowly appeared on his face.
After a long journey, they finally returned to Dongdu in the afternoon.
However, when they entered the city, they found that there were so many people leaving the city. They were blocked outside the city for half an hour. Finally, the soldiers guarding the city discovered that it was the general's car, and then the road was cleared, allowing them to enter the city first.
When I got home, it was too late.
Everyone was naturally busy again. Fortunately, Wuxue and Chang Wan stayed at home and had already arranged the room properly. The two of them went to clean up. When they returned to the room, lunch was also delivered from the kitchen, but it was... A sumptuous table of wine and food.
Shang Ruyi sat down and looked at it, and said with a smile: "I ate so lightly when I got up early, but it was so rich at noon."
Yu Wenye said:
"Take care of you."
He could see that she was a woman who liked to eat meat and wine, and from yesterday's fasting to today, it was indeed a little difficult for her. Of course, it was also difficult for him, so when he came back, he naturally wanted to make up for the lack of care for most of the day.
So, the two of them finished their lunch happily.
After finishing eating, Wuxue and the others immediately came in to clean up the dishes, and Tu Sheer brought hot tea. As soon as Shang Ruyi took a sip, he felt tired and couldn't help but yawn.
Yu Wenye looked at her with a smile and said, "Did you not sleep well last night? Let's catch up on some sleep at noon."
Shang Ruyi's face turned red again.
If others didn't know, how could she not know why she didn't sleep well? However, the "culprit" looked at her with a smile on his face, as if he was watching the fun. She was speechless and could only drink. After two sips of tea, I got ready to go to bed.
Tushel was the last to leave the room and closed the door.
As soon as he turned around, he saw Wuxue approaching with a smile and said, "Sister She'er, you went to Banyan Temple yesterday. What happened?"
Tu Sheer said: "What's the matter? It's nothing."
"Is everything okay? Why do I feel that the Second Young Master and the Young Madam are closer than before?"
"Have it?"
"How not?"
Wuxue smiled and said, "They rarely take a nap together. Usually, even if the second master is at home, he will be busy with his own affairs."
"oh……?"
Tu Sheer thought for a while, and that was indeed the case.
Moreover, yesterday at Banyan Temple, it was a very quiet place. Listening to the chirping of insects and birds on the mountain at night, they all slept very peacefully, and their spirits were particularly good today. But for some reason, Shang Ruyi yawned instead. Day after day, when going down the mountain today, she stumbled even more. Yu Wenye wanted to reach out to help her, but she refused, and it took a long time before going down the mountain.
They do seem to be different from usual.
But - Tusheer couldn't help but think, how different could it be? Aren't they just a loving couple?
So he waved his hand and said, "Don't ask any more questions, just go do your own thing."
Seeing that he couldn't get anything out of the question, Wuxue just pouted and went down to do things obediently. Tusheer looked back at the closed door, smiled for some reason, turned around and left.
In the room, it was quiet and peaceful.
Shang Ruyi was lying on the bed, feeling a little sleepy, when he suddenly heard a soft rustling sound. When he opened his eyes, he saw Yu Wenye standing beside the bed, taking off his coat and sitting down. ….
Her heart skipped a beat: "Huh?"
Yu Wenye looked down at her, smiled and said, "What, you want me to sleep over there?"
"..."
Shang Ruyi's face turned red again.
From yesterday to today, she had blushed countless times. At this time, she couldn't say a word, but she silently stepped back and gave up the bed.
Yu Wenye lay down with a smile and reached out to hold her in his arms.
His embrace was solid and warm, always giving people a feeling of reassurance, or even complete reassurance. As soon as Shang Ruyi leaned in, he immediately felt a wave of relaxation all over his body, but the hand around his waist felt a little hot. , the feeling of being as solid as an iron vise made her a little uneasy. After thinking about it, she raised her head in his arms and said softly: "Just sleep."
"..."
Yu Wenye looked down at her, and after a while, he said angrily: "Do you think I'm a beast?"
Shang Ruyi pursed his lips and smiled, burying his face in his arms.
Yu Wenye stretched out his hand and patted her waist heavily, and then stroked her twice more, as if to comfort her, but stroking her slender waist, he felt the soft spring body in his arms emanating from it. The faint fragrance that came out made his heart really feel restless.
Last night, because they were in the temple, they had both rational restraint and some unethical guilt. Several emotions were intertwined, making their union both happy and depressing, as if something was missing.
However, we really can’t continue.
This little woman is really tired.
So he took another deep breath, suppressed the throbbing in his body that shouldn't be there, and gently stroked her back, preparing to have a good sleep with her.
At this moment, he felt the little head in his arms rise again. He lowered his head and looked at her: "What?"
Shang Ruyi said: "When will you leave?"
"..."
Yu Wenye was startled for a moment, and immediately understood something again. He said with a smile, "You know again?"
Shang Ruyi said: "Mr. Mu is not here today. You must have asked him to come back first yesterday. If it was not an important matter, you would not have let him come back first."
"..."
"I just saw that there are a few more people in the house, they are your personal soldiers."
"..."
"The imperial court, is it asking you to send troops?"
Yu Wenye nodded: "The documents from the Ministry of War are here. The troops and horses are ready and are just outside the city. We will set off tomorrow."
Shang Ruyi opened his eyes wide, thought for a moment, and then said, "Why don't you order troops this time?"
The last time he went to fight Xingluocang, he was clearly asked to go to the military headquarters to order the soldiers himself.
A cold light flashed in Yu Wenye's eyes: "Tell me why."
Shang Ruyi couldn't help but frown.
Over the years, due to the widespread rebellions in various places, the court's troops to counter the rebellion have also been divided. However, while they want to suppress the rebellion, they are also afraid that the generals who lead the army will support their troops and respect themselves. Therefore, the generals will rarely lead the same troops for a long time. , but exchange them once and for all so that they are not familiar with each other and avoid colluding in rebellion.
Therefore, the last time Yu Wenye captured Xingluocang, those troops had just gotten acquainted with him, so they immediately left behind to guard Cangcheng. He could not use them again. This time he wanted to go to Hebei again, and he would also find other troops.
However, it was really too much to not even let him order troops by himself.
Shang Ruyi said softly: "You are not familiar with the men and horses, and we are fighting Wanggang Village - can we win like this?"
Yu Wenye looked at her for a while and said, "Have you forgotten what I told you?"
"..."
"I said, now, it's not time for me to fight Wang Gangjun."
"...?"
Shang Ruyi was stunned.
At this moment, there was another burst of footsteps outside, and Tu Sheer was heard saying anxiously at the door: "Uncle, Miss, that Eunuch Lu is here again!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Wenye immediately sat up from the bed.
Shang Ruyi was also stunned - Eunuch Lu, is the chamberlain beside Queen Jiang?
She hurriedly asked: "Is he coming to see me?".
