Chapter 113 Someone entered the inn!
“I——”
At this moment, Shang Ruyi felt like falling into an ice cave.
She suddenly realized that if she rescued Shen Shiyan and his wife, she, and all of them, would have nowhere to go.
Time passes bit by bit, like the constant gurgling river ahead.
Shang Ruyi couldn't say a word.
She made a hot decision to save her uncle and aunt and not let them go to Lingnan to suffer. But it was only now that she suddenly realized that even if she saved them, maybe in the following days, she would It is endless suffering.
After all, the imperial court will not let the exiled prisoners be robbed. Once officers and soldiers are used to arrest them, they will have no place to stand, and they will never have peace.
However, she had to save her uncle and aunt.
At this moment, the desperate feeling of having nowhere to go, let alone escape to heaven, made her whole body cold, and even the hand holding the reins became a little stiff.
She looked around in a panic, desperately trying to find something, even if it was just a vague light, it would at least give herself a little hope.
Suddenly, she saw Yu Wenye with a stern expression.
By the way, his father—Yu Wenyuan!
The reason why I refused to marry Yu Wenzui, but chose to marry him, apart from my ridiculous self-love, wasn't it Yu Wenyuan? In such troubled times, what better way to ensure the safety of yourself and your family than to rely on such a person?
So, as long as Yu Wenyuan is still there, they will not be in danger, right?
But the next moment, a completely opposite thought came to Shang Ruyi's mind unconsciously -
Yu Wenyuan will succeed, but his success does not mean that the people around him can completely Safety.
Throughout the dynasties, those who made great achievements, or even founded a country and became emperor, how many of their relatives died in the difficult journey before success, becoming a ghost worth remembering, but in the end they can only be remembered. ?
She must make the right choice at every step in order to rely on his final success and protect herself and her family.
Nowadays, Sheng Guogong is obviously not strong enough to fight against the imperial court or even the whole world on his own. At this moment, he is supervising the transportation of grain and grass in western Liaoning. If they really commit the crime of robbing prisoners in Luoyang, even if Sheng Guogong They are not implicated, but if they are caught, they will inevitably die.
By that time, wouldn't Shen Shiyan and the Yu family be implicated by themselves?
At this moment, Shang Ruyi's thoughts were like a mess. With her disordered breathing, she thought almost every moment, and every thought entangled her heart, making her thoughts even more confusing. .
Just when she was struggling, there were footsteps from ahead.
I saw Mu Xian running back quickly, standing in front of Yu Wenye’s horse, cupping his hands and saying, “Young Master.”
Then Mu Xian said: “Back to Young Master, my subordinates have heard clearly. . There are only three horses in the manger at Zhanpinghe Station, and there should be only three officers escorting Mr. Shen and his wife; and the number of personnel in the station is no more than four. "
Yu Wenye said: "In other words, including Master Shen and his wife, there are less than ten people."
"Yes."
"Okay, get on your horse."
< br>Mu Xian accepted the order and immediately got on his horse.
The surrounding air became tighter.
Everyone knows that the officers who escort the exiled prisoners are unlikely to be people who are good at fighting. The postmen of a small post station are probably old, weak, sick and disabled, and there are more than ten people in their group, except Shang Ruyi. With high martial arts skills, it would be really easy to kidnap the Shen family and his wife from such a group of people.
I saw Yu Wenye's cold eyes, looking at Shang Ruyi: "Have you made your decision?"
"..." "The decision now is not whether to take action, but Which direction should we go after leaving that inn?"
"..."
Shang Ruyi felt like there were ants crawling in her heart. The restless mood made it impossible for her to think calmly. She whispered: "What do you think?"
Yu Wenye was cold. Said: "This matter was decided by you, and it was also exchanged between you and me. "
"..."
"Then you should make the next arrangements yourself."
At this point, his eyes became colder. Points: "You should bear the consequences."
Shang Ruyi bit his lower lip and couldn't say a word. Yu Wenye's words did not give her the confidence to make a decision at all. Instead, they seemed to push her into a desperate situation step by step.
At this moment, Mu Xian suddenly said again: "Master, young madam, there is one more thing that I would like to report."
Both of them immediately looked up at him.
Yu Wenye asked: "What's the matter?"
Mu Xian said: "When my subordinates just approached the inn to investigate, they found that the shackles on Lord Shen's body seemed to have been taken off. ”
"...?"
When he heard this, Yu Wenye, who had always been calm and self-possessed, his eyes flickered.
Shang Ruyi immediately said: "Really?"
Mu Xian nodded and said: "Not only have the shackles been taken off, but my subordinates also saw that the three escorting officers seemed to be following Master Shen and his wife were sitting together for dinner, chatting happily..."
Shang Ruyi took a deep breath.
Although she had never experienced any of her family members being exiled before, she still understood some of the rules of the court. If some serious criminals were exiled, not only would they have to be shackled all the way, and their hands, feet, and necks would be bruised to pieces, but some officials would also torture the prisoners and take the opportunity to extort money. Some prisoners would not even survive the period of exile; while some minor criminals would be exiled, although They need to wear shackles when traveling during the day, but when they rest at night, kind-hearted officials may unshackle them, or even have a slightly more relaxed attitude, which can make their lives easier.
If Shen Shiyan was not only shackled, but also sat and ate with the escort officer...
Were they not abused?
If this is the case——
She slowly raised her head to look at Yu Wenye, who had a complicated expression, and said hesitantly: "Yu——Second brother, I——"
< br>
Before she finished speaking, Yu Wenye suddenly raised his hand: "Stop talking!"
"...?"
Shang Ruyi was startled, and subconsciously closed his mouth, but Seeing that Yu Wenye neither spoke nor made any movement, he only frowned, as if he was listening carefully.
But except for the increasingly violent sound of wind and the sound of rushing water in the distance, there was nothing at all.
Shang Ruyi wanted to ask something more, but he couldn't speak casually.
But only a moment later, I heard Yu Wenye say in a deep voice: "Someone is coming."
As soon as they heard this, everyone became nervous and looked around hurriedly, but the night was dark around them, almost I can't see my fingers, where can I see half a human figure?
Shang Ruyi subconsciously lowered his voice and said: "Where is there?"
I saw Yu Wenye's eyes like torches, looking sharply at the inn in the distance with only a flickering light, and suddenly Said: "Someone has entered the inn!"
