Shang Ruyi was stunned for a moment.
??Just when she was a little unable to recover, the strong wind brought a fist-sized snowball and hit them hard. Shang Ruyi was hit on the face again, and the snow suddenly flew away. , the feeling of coldness brought her mind back again.
??Shang Ruyi was silent for a long time and said softly: "He went after Queen Jiang?"
??Mu Xian said: "Yes."
??Shang Ruyi was silent for a while, then looked at him: "He went alone?"
??Mu Xian looked at her face and couldn't tell whether it was happiness or anger, but it always gave people a chilling and depressing feeling. He couldn't help but shudder, and could only reply: "I only brought a few people with me." ——Second Young Master wanted to catch up as soon as possible, so he didn’t bring many people with him.”
??「……」
??"He asked us to meet the young lady and hurry to Taiyuan."
??「……」
??"Luoyang has been captured, and there will soon be Liang around here -" He said this, looked at Lei Yu carefully, and then said: "They will all be their troops. We are neither friends nor enemies with them. In order to prevent If anything happens, you still have to go back quickly."
??Shang Ruyi was quiet for a while and said, "Is this what he said?"
??"yes."
??"Then he himself is not afraid of anything unexpected?"
??「……」
??Mu Xian couldn’t answer.
??The answer to this question was something he couldn't figure out even after racking his brains along the way. Even the emergence of this question was something he couldn't understand.
??He could only say: "Young Madam, you still--"
??He did not say any more after that, because in the messy wind and snow, he saw Shang Ruyi's serious expression, which was completely different from his usual state when encountering critical situations.
??At this moment, there was a sound of horses neighing behind them.
??Looking back, she saw that Lei Yu had already climbed onto the horse. She held the reins tightly with both hands, and her beautiful and sharp face became more resolute and indestructible in the wind and snow. She looked down at Shang Ruyi and said, "I'm going to do my own thing, Shang Ruyi——"
??Shang Ruyi looked up at her.
??The two people looked at each other in the wind and snow. There seemed to be many words in their eyes, but they couldn't say them at this moment. Of course, there was no need to say them anymore. Lei Yu was silent for a long time, and finally sighed and said in a deep voice: "You, take care of yourself."
??Shang Ruyi said in a hoarse voice: "You also need to take care."
??Lei Yu nodded to her, then whipped up his horse and led her people away. But as soon as she ran away for a while, she stopped again, looked back at Shang Ruyi's somewhat confused eyes, thought for a long time, and said, "Remember what I told you before."
??After saying that, he stopped looking back and turned around to leave.
??Keeping watching her back disappear into the vast wind and snow, Shang Ruyi didn't come back to her senses for a long time. She only felt colder and colder, and the biting cold wind seemed to have taken away the last bit of heat from her body.
??Watching this group of people leave completely, Mu Xian finally breathed a sigh of relief.
?? He turned back to look at Shang Ruyi and said in a deep voice: "Young Madam, are they all from Liang Shide? Then we are now——"
??"How long has he been gone?"
??"Um?"
??Suddenly hearing Shang Ruyi's question, Mu was stunned for a moment. After thinking about it, he realized that she was asking Yu Wenye, so he said in a deep voice: "We picked up Her Royal Highness the Princess and His Highness King Zhao in Chenchu. , After explaining these things to us, the Second Young Master left..."
….
??The more he spoke, the lower his voice became.
??Because Shang Ruyi’s eyes became more and more profound and unpredictable.
??At this moment, the Crescent Princess slowly got off the horse, and the people around her hurriedly stepped forward to help her. They saw that her steps were staggering, and her legs were as heavy as lead. They had obviously been worn down by riding a horse. She is so golden
, even if she can ride a horse, she has obviously never experienced such a long journey and harsh environment. When she approached, Shang Ruyi could even see her eyes were red, and her tone was unconsciously aggrieved when she spoke. Tone.
??She whispered: "Young Madam..."
??Shang Ruyi looked at her for a while and said: "Your Highness, Princess, it's great that you are safe. There may be a very difficult road ahead. I hope Your Highness can be patient."
??Crescent Princess bit her lower lip in grievance, but still nodded.
??She continued: "Second brother went to rescue my mother. The mother said that after my brother and I escaped safely, she would go to Jiangdu to accompany my father and fulfill her responsibilities as a queen..."
??When she said this, her voice was choked with sobs, and Shang Ruyi only felt a tightness in her chest. After a while, she reluctantly said, "Really?"
??Crescent Princess continued: "Second brother said that it was too dangerous, so he wanted to rescue her. But I, I seemed to see someone chasing them in the city."
??「……」
??"Madam, I'm so worried about them..."
??Shang Ruyi clenched his fists subconsciously, but the expression on his face was still very calm, even calmer than when he just heard the news. She said: "Don't worry - Feng Chen, he knows what he is doing. As long as he takes action, things will not fail."
??Crescent Princess looked at her with bright eyes: "Really?"
??Shang Ruyi nodded: "Really."
??The Crescent Princess breathed a sigh of relief and said with a forced smile: "This is great."
??「……」
??Shang Ruyi looked at her as innocent as a piece of paper. For a moment, he didn't know why, but he felt a trace of pity in his heart. When he thought about it again, he didn't know who the pity was for, or even... It’s so confusing that I don’t even know where this trace of compassion comes from.
??She sighed softly, then raised her head and looked around.
??Now, the two groups of people have gathered together, and Princess Crescent Moon and King Zhao have also been safely escorted out. Speaking of which, their operation this time can be considered a success.
??Except——
??At this time, Mu Xian walked up to her and whispered: "Young Madam, we are relieved that the two highnesses have been delivered here. Next, I want to take someone back to help the second young master."
??Shang Ruyi looked up at him: "Oh?"
??Xian Mu said: "The second young master has not taken many people with him. If he really encounters Liang Shide's people, it will be difficult to escape. We have to go back to pick him up and we can't put him in danger."
??「……」
??Shang Ruyi glanced at him and nodded.
??Then he said, "I'll go with you."
??When they heard this, everyone around them was shocked. Jiang Kesheng and Tu Sheer all stepped forward to dissuade them. Even Chang Wan advised: "Young madam, that is too dangerous. You should stay here. .”
??Shang Ruyi looked at them, and then at the Crescent Princess who was obviously still in a panic, with panic in her eyes and didn't know what to say, and said calmly: "Don't worry, I'm not making trouble unreasonably, I know What are you doing? Jiang Kesheng, take your people and escort the two highnesses back to Zhuangzi first. Don't come out without our orders."
….
??Jiang Kesheng hesitated and looked at Mu Xian, and could only nod: "Yes."
??Shang Ruyi then said to Tu Sheer and Wuxue, "You guys, take good care of your two highnesses."
??Tu Sheer was so anxious that she stamped her feet: "Miss."
??Shang Ruyi said: "Be obedient!"
?? She showed a slightly stern look, and no one could say anything else. Shang Ruyi turned to Princess Crescent and said calmly: "Your Highnesses - from now on, you can no longer call yourself Your Highness. You are the most important. So that I can hide my identity, and when I come back after picking up Feng Chen, I will take you all away together."
??Crescent Princess nodded.
??Account
After all this, Shang Ruyi finally took a deep breath, turned around and got on the horse. In the biting cold wind, she raised her voice: "Let's go!"
??Immediately, they divided into two groups and galloped away into the wind and snow.
??From leaving Zhuangzi yesterday, heading north, escaping the emperor's troops, and then turning back to meet Mu Xian's troops, Shang Ruyi almost didn't sleep for two days, and his back was swollen. It was extremely painful, and the inner thighs of both legs were red, swollen and numb. Even if she had gone through a difficult time as a child, she had never experienced such hardship.
??But she knew very well that these were nothing.
??Because the real suffering was not physically physical at all, but the confusion in her heart that seemed to be floating in the air and could never land.
??Maybe today, she will get an answer.
??Just when she was in a trance, Mu Xian's voice sounded beside her: "Young madam, ahead!"
??Shang Ruyi hurriedly raised his head and saw a hazy light and shadow suddenly appeared in the almost invisible night. As they got closer and closer, a huge shadow appeared from the light and shadow. The familiar figure The outline pierced everyone's eyes, and in addition to the cold snow foam blowing in the wind, there were also faint sounds of exclamations and screams.
??That’s Dongdu City!
??The extremely familiar Dongdu City, where they once lived, is right in front of them. In this late night, it is almost brightly lit. There are even several places where you can clearly see the flames soaring into the sky and the billowing smoke like a roaring dragon. , soaring straight into the sky!
??The Eastern Capital City has indeed fallen!
??Shang Ruyi gasped subconsciously and hurriedly ordered: "Hurry up and put out the torch!"
When the people around who were holding torches to light up the road heard this, they immediately threw their torches into the thick snow on the roadside. The firelight was immediately extinguished, and they suddenly fell into deeper darkness.
??The only thing that can be seen is the red light all over the city in front.
??Xian Mu was also very nervous at this time and lowered his voice: "Liang Shide's people have indeed occupied the Dongdu. Madam, if we want to meet the Second Young Master, we have to bypass the Dongdu and avoid their people."
??Shang Ruyi said in a trembling voice: "Is it possible that Feng Chen has been -"
??"Absolutely not!"
??Mu Xian said categorically: "Even if the second young master works alone, he will definitely be able to break out of the encirclement and will not be captured easily."
??「……」
??Hearing what he said, Shang Ruyi seemed to feel more relaxed.
??She said: "Okay, let's——"
?? Before they finished speaking, a gust of cold wind suddenly hit them, causing them to sway a little on their horses. In the wind, there seemed to be a faint sound of rapid, murderous horse hoofbeats.
??There was still a strong smell of blood!
??Shang Ruyi's heart trembled, and he quickly raised his head and looked forward with wide eyes!
