Shang Ruyi stared intently at the back of the tall and erect figure. Although he was far away, he still had the elegance of a gentleman. He seemed to be a young man, holding a book in his hand and looking down.
As if hearing the sound of wheels, he slowly turned his head and looked at them——
Shang Ruyi took a breath: "Stop!"
Yu Wenye was stunned for a moment, but seeing the strange look on her face, he immediately asked the driver to stop the car.
Before he could help him, Shang Ruyi had already gotten off the carriage, and the handsome figure of the person in the pavilion was slightly shocked. When he saw Shang Ruyi get off the carriage, he immediately stood up and walked over quickly. .
It was like a breeze blowing out of the picturesque scenery.
As soon as Shang Ruyi got out of the car, before she could stand still, she felt a familiar breath, and with the breeze blowing towards her, she was pulled into a warm embrace by a pair of gentle hands before she even had time to say anything. !
"Little sister!"
"..."
Shang Ruyi froze.
Tears welled up in her eyes unconsciously, blurring her vision. She could only stand there blankly, feeling the hands holding her tightly. Although they were strong, they maintained a restrained gentleness, as if they were afraid of hurting her. It hurts me, and I seem to be afraid of revealing more emotions, but even so, those choked words have clearly expressed the pain of missing and separation these days.
A tear finally fell freely from Shang Ruyi's eyes, surrounded by the warm aura emanating from his body.
She whispered: "Brother..."
Standing in front of her, holding her tightly was none other than her brother Shen Wuzheng, whom she had been separated from for nearly two years!
At this time, it was too late to ask him why he was here, what he was doing here, and many other doubts. At the moment when he saw him, Shang Ruyi only felt that the stubbornness and strength that had been enough to support him these days collapsed in an instant. Like a wronged child, she no longer had to pretend to be fragile and helpless, and hugged him hard.
Relatives are her greatest wealth in this world and also her last support!
The two siblings just hugged each other tightly as if no one else was watching.
I don’t know how long it had passed, but there were heavy footsteps from the side. It was Yu Wenye who jumped down from the carriage. He didn’t say a word and just looked at the two brothers and sisters. Although the sun was still shining brightly at this time, his His face, especially his deep eyes, seemed to be covered with a strange haze.
Finally, Shang Ruyi came to his senses.
She was a little shy and reluctant to break away from Shen Wuzheng's arms. Although she indulged her emotions when she saw her relatives, after all, she was already married.
No matter how childish it is, it's a little embarrassing to do it.
So, she looked up with a blush. Looking at this handsome face that was so familiar after so many years, Shang Ruyi couldn't help but laugh softly: "Brother, I..."
Shen Wuzheng said nothing, only stretched out his hand and gently wiped away the tears on her face.
Although, those tears had already soaked into his heart.
Then he smiled and said, "I wish you were safe."
With just one word, Shang Ruyi's eyes became even hotter. ….
She was afraid that she would cry uncontrollably, so she could only lower her head and swallow the pain that came to her heart with sobs. Fortunately, at this time, the person beside her spoke -
"Brother."
Hearing this title again, Shen Wuzheng's face froze slightly, but he calmly turned his head and met Yu Wenye's calm eyes. The two looked at each other, but they held hands to each other politely. A gift.
"Master Yuwen, you are polite."
The scenery here is picturesque, and the two of them are even more handsome. Even though they are only wearing ordinary cloth, they still exude an aura of nobility. However, this nobility does not contain the coldness of the human world at all. meaning.
Shang Ruyi on the side finally calmed down at this time.
She raised her head and asked hurriedly: "Brother, why are you here?"
? Where are my uncle and aunt? Didn’t I have someone come to protect you? Where are they? you--"
She asked these series of questions anxiously, but Shen Wuzheng just said gently: "Go and sit down first, and I will tell you slowly."
With that said, he raised his hand to signal Yu Wenye, and then took Shang Ruyi and slowly walked towards the pavilion on the slope.
However, the moment he held Shang Ruyi's hand, his face darkened slightly.
However, the people around him didn't notice anything in all this. Yu Wenye asked the others to stay beside the carriage, and he went up the slope with them. As soon as I approached the pavilion, the first thing I saw was the tall stone tablet next to the pavilion. It was said to be a stone tablet, but it was actually just a long standing stone. It looked like a stone tablet. There were no fine carvings, just on the long stone. Two big characters were deeply engraved.
Wang Gang!
When Yu Wenye saw it, his eyes darkened slightly.
This is the logo of Wanggang Village. I think it was Wang Qiyi who had someone make it. He stood here to indicate that this place is under his jurisdiction.
Shang Ruyi obviously saw it too.
But at this time, neither Wanggangzhai nor Wang Quyi could attract her attention, so she followed Shen Wuzheng into the pavilion. There was only a stone table in the pavilion and four stone benches on the four sides, which had also been wiped. There was also a "Wenzi" on the table, which he had obviously been reading just now.
As soon as she sat down, she immediately asked: "Brother, you--"
"do not worry,"
Knowing that she still cared about the Shens and his wife, Shen Wuzheng said gently: "Both parents are fine."
Just one word made Shang Ruyi's heart drop.
She breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "As long as it's okay, it'll be okay."
Shen Wuzheng said: "Actually, we originally thought that this road would be difficult to walk. Unexpectedly, we met the people you sent shortly after we set off. With their escort, everything went smoothly."
Having said this, he looked at Shang Ruyi: "Little sister, why did you let someone escort us to Daxing?"
Shang Ruyi was stunned, but she immediately said: "When I sent people out, Luoyang had already been captured by Liang Shide, and the situation in Taiyuan was unknown. I thought - Daxing was probably the only place that was barely safe. "
"..."
"After all, the merchant——"
Although she didn't finish her words, the two men in the pavilion understood to some extent.
She has been expelled from her home by the merchant, but the merchant's family is still in Daxing City after all. The Shen's and his wife are old friends in the past, so they will not be completely neglected. ….
Hearing this, Shen Wuzheng nodded slightly.
He looked at Shang Ruyi again and said with a half-smile, "I thought you knew at that time that the Duke had already captured Daxing City."
"...!?"
The pavilion suddenly became quiet.
Yu Wenye frowned slightly but said nothing, while Shang Ruyi's eyes widened in shock: "Brother, what did you say?!"
Shen Wuzheng looked at them, especially at Yu Wenye, and said, "Just a few days after Liang Shide captured Luoyang, Sheng Guogong had already occupied Daxing City."
Shang Ruyi couldn't believe her ears, but when Shen Wuzheng said all this, he was calm and solemn, obviously not intending to tease them. She hurriedly turned her head to look at Yu Wenye again, but saw his serious face and deep eyes. A cold light flashed, as if he was a little surprised, but not too surprised.
However, Shang Ruyi was really surprised.
Even if she knows that this world will eventually have a certain ending, and this almost brilliant ending must belong to the Yuwen family, so it is reasonable for Sheng Guogong to capture Daxing City, even if it is unexpected.
However, this was unexpected, so unexpected!
After all, judging from the troops he has and the news that Xue Xian has already pointed his troops at Daxing, even if he can capture Daxing City, he will have to go through a bloody battle, even more difficult than Liang Shide's capture of Luoyang!
Shang Ruyi said subconsciously: "How could it happen, so fast?!"
"..."
Shen Wuzheng did not reply immediately
Answering her question, he looked at Yu Wenye again.
The latter's eyes have become calmer.
Shen Wuzheng said: "In fact, I don't know the specifics, because I only learned about this news after I went north and approached Luoyang. But I heard that it seemed that Daxing City was taken down first, and then Dakaicheng Open the door to welcome the Duke from afar."
"..."
"It was also under those circumstances that the Duke formally raised troops in Taiyuan and then entered Daxing City."
"..."
"Now, Daxing City is completely in the hands of the Duke. It is also because of this that I can rest assured to let your people escort my parents to continue their journey to the west, while I stay here."
"..."
Shang Ruyi's breath was choked.
I see.
The news that made her almost heartbroken turned out to be the truth behind it.
No wonder Yu Wenye felt strange. He clearly sent a letter to Yu Wenyuan after he went south, asking him to make any decisions after he rescued him, no matter what arrangements there were. Why did Yu Wenyuan still mobilize his troops in advance and almost stay away? She died in Jiangdu Palace.
It turns out that's why.
Someone captured Daxing City first and opened the city gates to welcome Duke Sheng into the city. He was already on the verge of getting ready. If he really hesitated at that time, not to mention the subsequent achievements, even the life and death in front of him would become a crisis. !
only--
Who is this guy?
Who could make such a decision in such a short period of time, capture Daxing City in one fell swoop, and then surrender the entire Daxing City to Sheng Guogong!
At this moment, Shang Ruyi suddenly felt an inexplicable chill rising from his heart. He didn't even dare to think about it anymore, but subconsciously reached out and grabbed the lapel of his clothes.
At this moment, a warm hand reached out from behind and gently touched her shoulder.
You don't have to look back to know who it is.
Yu Wenye's steady and gentle voice sounded: "It's good to know this now."
"..."
"But there is still some truth. We will find out when we come to Daxing in the future."
"..."
Shang Ruyi did not look back, only lowered his head and nodded gently.
Shen Wuzheng, who was sitting opposite her, looked at the hand touching her thin shoulder and narrowed his eyes unconsciously. At this time, Yu Wenye had already raised his head to face him and said in a deep voice: "Well, brother, you And why are you here alone?".
