Chapter 128 She just missed him a little
"What's wrong?"
Lei Yu immediately turned her head and looked north along Shang Ruyi's line of sight, only to see a vast expanse of grassland. In the distance, the horizon, which almost merges with the gray sky, is empty.
She looked back at Shang Ruyi: "There is nothing."
"..."
"What did you see?"
Shang Ruyi frowned, stretched out his hand to rub his eyes and looked for a while, then murmured: "I seemed to have seen a few people just now."
"Human?"
Lei Yu turned around again and saw a few pieces of grass blown by the wind, whistling and flying into the sky. The grassland was still vast and there were no people. .
Lei Yu said: "You are wrong."
"..."
"The Turkic Yazhang is hundreds of miles away from here. They shouldn't send people over so quickly. Besides, if they really have troops coming, our people will definitely have discovered it long ago. That’s it.”
Hearing what she said, Shang Ruyi thought about it and smiled: “Maybe. It’s just that my eyes were dazzled.”
As they walked further along, they didn’t meet anyone. In the evening, they finally arrived at the destination where Shang Ruyi remembered the sweet water well. The vast flat land, even the iron nails and wooden piles left behind when the last northern patrol set up a huge tent, are still there.
So, we set up a tent on the spot and settled down soon.
At this time, there were already a lot of voices complaining around. If only those officials were repaying it, but this time the emperor also brought some officials' family members with him on his tour. Most ladies and ladies from aristocratic families had never lived in such a harsh place. However, the ground is uneven and rats are often infested. There are no houses with carved beams and pillars, and only simple tents can provide shelter from the wind and rain. Especially in the grassland, winter comes earlier than in the Central Plains. At night, even the bed is covered without a brazier. It's ice cold.
It wasn’t until late at night that the complaints around him gradually subsided.
However, although the complaints subsided, Shang Ruyi still couldn't sleep. Along the way, he had too many things to worry about. Even if he was stationed now, I'm afraid trouble is still to come.
After all, Yu Wenye has not arrived yet.
I wonder where he is now? Are you with the Crescent Princess?
What are the two of them doing at this moment?
Just thinking about this made her chest feel more and more stuffy, so she simply stood up and dressed, ready to go out and take a breath.
But just when she opened the tent, she saw Tusheer and Mu Xian sitting around the fire in front of the tent, muttering something - this On the way, they also became familiar with each other.
I heard Tu Sheer complaining: "Where did your young master go? When did he come?"
Mu Xian smiled and said: "What do you mean our young master? Isn’t he your uncle?”
Tusheer pouted: "Whose uncle would leave his wife behind? No one can even see her shadow!"
"..."
Mu Xian seemed to be a little unreasonable and turned his gaze sarcastically Turning around, I happened to see Shang Ruyi standing at the door of the tent. , hurriedly said: "Young madam, why are you up?"
Tu Sheer also hurriedly came forward and said, "Miss, what do you want?"
Shang Ruyi smiled and said: " I can’t sleep, let’s go out for a walk.”
Tu Sheer said: "It's so cold, what's the point of leaving? You'd better go back to the tent and sleep quickly, so as not to catch a cold."
Shang Ruyi couldn't help but roll her eyes at her.
Mu, who was standing aside, laughed and said, "I understand. Did the young lady think of the days when she went to the grassland before, couldn't sleep, and wanted to come out and revisit her old place?"
Shang Ruyi rolled his eyes at Tu Sheer again: "Look, you've been with me for so long." Tusheer ignored her taunts and hurriedly ran into the tent, took out a blanket and put it on her, saying: "It's windy here, be careful. Catch a cold.”
Shang Ruyi couldn't help but laugh.
She also wrapped her blanket tightly and sat next to the fire. The heat of the flames made her somewhat cold heart finally feel a little warm. She took a deep breath and looked up around her. In fact, It was so late, and the scenery had long since disappeared, but the bright stars above our heads were just as they were more than ten years ago, as if the time that had flowed in between was just a blink.
Mu Xian said: "Young madam, is this place the same as before?"
Shang Ruyi said: "What can be different?"
"..."
"What's different is that there are always just people."
Looking at her cold eyes even though she was looking at the flames, Tusheer said softly: "Miss, do you miss Mr. Shang?" ? Don't be too sad."
Shang Ruyi smiled bitterly in his heart.
It has been so many years since her father passed away. The overwhelming grief that almost overwhelmed her has long since subsided.
She just missed him a little.
Feeling that his emotions were contagious and making everyone around him feel depressed, Shang Ruyi stood up with a smile and said, "Okay, I'll go for a walk over there. You can do whatever you want."
Tu Sheer immediately said: "I will accompany you."
Shang Ruyi said: "I want to walk alone, don't follow me, go to bed early."
"But-"
Tusheer was still hesitant, Mu Xian also advised: "Mrs. "It's getting so late, so let me stay with you to avoid danger."
Shang Ruyi smiled and said: "With such a big camp, there are guards patrolling nearby, so there is no danger. I want to be alone for a while, so don't follow me."
Hearing her say this, The two of them couldn't say anything else. Tusheer could only tell her to be careful again and again, and then let Shang Ruyi leave the camp alone.
As soon as I walked out, I felt a cold wind blowing, almost blowing away the blanket on my body.
Shang Ruyi hurriedly crossed his arms with both hands and wrapped the blanket tightly.
Although it was cold, the cold wind made her head clearer than before. Stepping on the withered grass on the ground, accompanied by rustling sounds all the way, she walked to the edge of the camp without knowing it. , there was no time to build the fence here, only a few thick flagpoles stood on the ground, and the flags were blown by the low wind.
Shang Ruyi slowly walked to a flagpole and leaned against it. When he looked back, countless bonfires in the camp were still burning, dyeing the vast sky above his head orange.
This reminded her of the situation she often saw when she was a child living in Turkic Yazhang.
At that time, her father would even take her to attend Turkic people’s evening drinking parties. It was called a drinking party, but there were no rules. It was just a group of people carrying wine jars, drinking heavily, and singing loudly.
The singing sound even floated further than the firelight.
Unconsciously, the songs in her memory flowed out of her mouth. She sang softly, as if she had returned to that time again.
But just as she was singing to herself, there was a sudden sound of footsteps next to her.
Shang Ruyi immediately shut his mouth.
“Who?”
