Chapter 143: People’s words are formidable
This battle lasted for four full hours.
What Shang Ruyi didn't know was that this was also the most powerful and longest-lasting siege launched by the Turkic soldiers during the three days that Yanmen County stayed behind closed doors. She didn't even see it. At the city gate, the corpses of countless soldiers were dragged down the city wall and piled up into a small hill. Blood flowed down the city wall, almost dyeing the entire city tower red.
And in the streets and alleys, the corpses of ordinary people who were shot by arrows and unable to restrain chickens piled up in mountains.
The screams and wails were endless.
Lei Yu had just asked his men to carry a few wounded people down. When he raised his head, he saw Mu Xian walking down from the city tower covered in blood and flesh. The people on both sides were living and dying together. When they met each other at this time, they both looked filled with emotion. thousand.
In this case, any language is redundant.
After a long silence, I heard Lei Yu say: "Your young master, why haven't you come yet?"
Mu Xian looked troubled: "This——"
I saw a hint of anger appearing on Lei Yu's face, but it only took a moment. The anger dissipated, leaving only a trace of powerlessness and helplessness. He said: "The people who are besieged here are also his wife. Doesn't he care? ”
"..."
Mu Xian looked at her in astonishment.
He has been following Yu Wenye, and he also knew in his heart what Miss Lei felt about his young master, but he never expected that Lei Yu would suddenly act out of character at this time and become angry with Yu Wenye Come.
After Lei Yu said that, he sighed, turned around and left.
Looking at her back, Mu Xian's expression became solemn.

On the other side, Shang Ruyi could not even hold on until the end of the siege, because the wound suddenly hurt, and she had been sleeping for two days without eating water or rice, and there was a deafening loud noise. , she fell asleep again.
When I opened my eyes again, it was already dark.
As soon as he saw her waking up, Tusheer cried and laughed, and hurriedly helped her dress and wash.
Shang Ruyi sat on the bedside a little weakly and asked her: "How is it outside?"
Tu Sheer looked embarrassed, but still said: "Keep it."
"That's good."
"It's just——"
"Just what?" "
"I heard that this time, the number of soldiers defending the city was very serious. It seems that the number of defenders was less than half of the previous one."
When Shang Ruyi heard this, she felt weak, and cold sweat wet her temples again.
Tu Sheer said: "Miss, don't worry about the outside world and take care of your own health first. I'll get you some food. Can you drink porridge?"
Before Shang Ruyi had time to agree, he suddenly heard footsteps outside, and then Then, several young and beautiful palace maids walked in, holding various food boxes in their hands, and said respectfully: "Young Madam."
"You are——"
"The slaves and other servants came here specially to prepare a meal for the young lady."
After saying that, they placed a short bowl in front of Shang Ruyi, and then placed the dishes in the food box one by one. There were all kinds of exquisite and delicious dim sum dishes, as well as a bowl of thinly boiled shredded chicken. Porridge, suddenly, this somewhat cold room was filled with the aroma of food.
Shang Ruyi was a little surprised, but immediately understood something.
Tu Sheer stared at everything in stunned silence, and stammered: "You guys, who asked you to send it?"
One of the palace ladies pursed her lips and smiled, and said: "We are people who serve the emperor."
"..."
After saying that, he saluted Shang Ruyi and then left.
At this time, the worry on Tu Sheer's face became a little deeper. He turned to look at Shang Ruyi, who gradually became silent. He hesitated several times, but in the end he didn't say anything. He just bowed his head and drank. A bowl of porridge was delivered to Shang Ruyi. Shang Ruyi looked at her: "What do you want to say?"
"..."
Tusher glanced at her, then lowered his head to look at the things on the table. Sumptuous dishes, muttering in a low voice: "I heard from Miss Lei that there is not enough food in the city..."
Shang Ruyi also felt that these dishes were indeed a bit excessive at this time, but since it was the emperor's order, no one dared to disobey it.
She said: "Then, sit down and eat some with me."
Tusheer shook his head: "I can't eat this slave."
"… ..."
Shang Ruyi looked at her sad look and said, "Do you think my virtue is lacking?"
Upon hearing this, Tusheer waved her hands hurriedly: "No, I have grown up with the young lady. I know best what kind of person the young lady is. The young lady will definitely not have such dirty thoughts and actions."
Shang Ruyi looked at her.
And Tusheer was silent for a while, and then said: "It's just that people's words are terrible..."
"..."
"And, I remember Miss It seems that I have never seen His Majesty in the palace before. Why is His Majesty the Emperor so concerned about the young lady and taking care of everything? It seems that he cares about you more than my uncle."
At the mention of Yu Wenye, Shang Ruyi's heart couldn't help but feel a twinge of pain.
She wanted to explain something, but she couldn't say a word. She only felt that she was trapped in a whirlpool. Whether it was emotion or identity, it seemed as if it was torn and entangled by something invisible. It was completely messed up. A mess.
After being silent for a long time, she lowered her head and said sadly: "Let's eat first, and then we'll talk after we finish the meal."
The meal was finished in a dull manner.
Shang Ruyi felt that his strength had recovered a lot. Moreover, after sleeping for such a long time during the day, the injuries on his shoulders and back were no longer so painful. He was even able to get out of bed with Tu Sheer's help. Move around a bit.
Slowly walking out of the house, I saw the place where she was.
This is a small courtyard, but it is obviously deep inside the official residence. When you look up, you can hardly see the surrounding mountains, rivers and trees, only the layers of roof tiles and the sky above your head. A space as deep as the black night sky.
The yard is also very empty. There are only two trees planted in the east and west corners, and the rest of the place is empty.
It is suitable for people to stay in peace and recuperate.
Shang Ruyi felt that he was gradually regaining his freedom of movement, so he said to Tusheer: "You go down, I will stay alone for a while."
Tusheer looked at her: "Miss, if you have anything, just call me. No one else is allowed in this yard."
"..."
Shang Ruyi was silent when he heard this After a moment, he smiled faintly: "I know, you can go."
Tu Sheer then left worriedly.
As soon as she left, it became quieter here.
It was really a deep place. Apart from the sounds of earth-shattering battles during the day, almost only the sound of wind could break into the yard at this time. Shang Ruyi did not go out. Once she came, she knew that her body was supporting her. I can't afford it. Secondly, the answer she wants can be found at this place.
So, she stood in the middle of the yard, listening to the wind, and waited slowly.
Finally, amidst the sound of the wind, there was a sound of very light footsteps.
