Chapter 249 He wants to blame, but I am there
Early the next morning, Yu Wenyuan set off back to Taiyuan.
Before dawn, everyone in the family was already at the gate to see him off, and parked outside the gate was no longer his horse, but a carriage.
To show his loyalty and because the situation was urgent, he returned to Dongdu from Taiyuan alone, but when he returned, he could no longer ride a horse. After all, Sheng Guogong had a distinguished status, so his family prepared this carriage. However, he refused the proposal to send more people to follow.
Before boarding the carriage, Yu Wenye asked again: "Father, are you really not going to take a few people with you?"
Yu Wenyuan said: "No need to bother."
As he said that, he looked back at the people who came to see him off, and finally his eyes fell on Yu Wenye and Shang Ruyi. Wife, he is still so satisfied, and the look of his elders is also on his face at this moment. He smiled kindly and said, "Have you remembered everything I told you?"
Yu Wenye said, "Father, don't worry."
Shang Ruyi said hurriedly: "Father, be careful along the way. "
Yu Wenyuan smiled and nodded.
After saying that, he lowered his head and looked at his youngest son standing aside, with a look of worry added to his eyebrows, and said: "I came back in a hurry this time, so I couldn't check your homework, but you are not allowed to be lazy. ”
Yu Wen Cheng low He said in a voice: "Father, please don't worry."
Although he said this, Yu Wenyuan did not look relieved, but he could not explain anything more at this time, so he gave Yu Wenye a few more words, Then he turned around to get in the car.
At this moment, Yu Wenye suddenly took a step forward and whispered: "Father, have you received a letter from eldest brother?"
Hearing this, Shang Ruyi's heart skipped a beat. one time.
Yu Wenyuan turned back to look at him, and also glanced at his daughter-in-law beside him. Seeing her lowering her head and taking two steps back, he said in a deep voice: "Did you receive it?"
Yu Wenye said: " The eldest brother said he wanted to come back, but the rebels were raging along the way and the road was dangerous. He had to change his route again. I don’t know when he can return to Dongdu. I’m sending it here I guess he won’t be able to receive the outgoing letter.”
Yu Wenyuan pondered for a while and said, “I’m not worried about him.”
“…”
< br>"No matter how chaotic the world is, it can't mess with him. If he wants to come back, he will definitely come back safely."
Although these words were reassuring, for some reason, Yu Wenye's eyes were a little deeper than before.
He said: "Yes."
Yu Wenyuan glanced at Shang Ruyi again, who was bowing his head and saying nothing.
Then he said: "If he comes back and Ruodong is fine, let him go to Taiyuan to see me first."
Yu Wenye said: "Yes."
After Yu Wenyuan finished speaking, he got on the carriage. The driver whipped his whip, and the carriage immediately left Yuwen Mansion, drove forward through the ice and snow, and soon disappeared from everyone's sight.
However, no one noticed that in the corner at the end of the street, a pair of cold eyes were watching Yu Wenyuan's car.
Waiting until the shadow of the carriage could no longer be seen, those eyes slowly disappeared into the darkness.
The crowd at the gate slowly dispersed. Only Yu Wenye stood at the gate and did not leave for a long time. Shang Ruyi looked at his eyes and seemed to be looking in the direction where the carriage disappeared, but That look seemed to be looking further away.
What is he looking at?
At this time, Yu Wenye turned around and looked back at her.
He said: "What's wrong?"
Shang Ruyi shook his head covertly: "It's okay."
After saying that, he turned around and walked inside, Yu Wenye Walking beside her, watching her hesitate several times, he finally said: "You can ask whatever you want, no need to be so hesitant."
"..."
< br>
Shang Ruyi hesitated for a while, then whispered: "Brother, are you coming back?" As soon as this question was asked, the two people immediately fell into silence.
Shang Ruyi herself regretted asking this embarrassing question, but if she didn’t ask, she would not know how embarrassed she would be in the future. Yu Wenye was silent for a long time, then Said: "It seems that I won't be able to come back in a short time."
"Is it because the rebels are raging, so we have to change the route?"
"Yes."
"Is it that serious?"
Yu Wenye glanced at her, remained silent for a moment, and then said: "Every year after the Lantern Festival, officials from various counties and counties have to send officials back to the court to report on their work. Did you know, How many have come back this time?"
Shang Ruyi shook her head. Although she knew there was this rule, it was a matter of the imperial court after all. Yu Wenye went out to fight, and she also went to Xingluocang and had no time to inquire. this matter.
Yu Wenye said: "There are envoys from more than forty counties who failed to arrive as scheduled."
"...!?"
Shang Ruyi opened his eyes in horror.
Yu Wenye took a deep breath. Obviously, this number also made him feel heavy and depressed. He slowly said: "And more than half of those officials and envoys who were able to arrive in the Eastern Capital as scheduled were betrayed along the way. Troop harassment and interception ."
"..."
"Do you know what this means?"
Shang Ruyi subconsciously reached for her chest, but she couldn't breathe. I couldn't help but hold on to my clothes tightly.
As Yu Wenye walked forward, he said: "These are still officials of the imperial court, and what will happen to other travelers without the protection of guards?"
Shang Ruyi remained silent.
Although these words were talking about Yu Wenzhen's return to the Eastern Capital, she could see clearly that the imperial court was slowly losing its jurisdiction and control over all parts of the country.
Yu Wenye finally said: "However, my father has confidence in my eldest brother, and so do I."
"..."
"It's just that it will probably take him a little longer to come back than usual."
Shang Ruyi couldn't help but frowned again.
From what Yu Wenyuan said just now, which sounded specious, she felt to some extent that Sheng Guogong, who had outstanding military exploits and strict discipline on his children, had extraordinary confidence and recognition in his eldest son. It seems that no matter what the world is like, as long as Yuwen Sui wants it, he can do it.
In the eyes of ordinary people, this is a bit blind.
Besides, even Yu Wenye, who has made many military exploits in recent years and has been canonized as a general, may not be able to get such recognition from him. After all, before sending troops to conquer Luocang, he was still worried about Yu Wenye's failure to do so. He lost his temper because he wanted the soldiers and horses in his family, fearing that he would suffer a loss in this battle.
Shang Ruyi couldn't help but want to ask - Yuwen Sui, is he really that powerful?
However, she still held back.
After all, it was about Yu Wenzin, and the awkward relationship between her and him meant that she should not ask more about him.
However, as if he saw the entanglement in her heart, Yu Wenye looked at her for a while and said calmly: "Don't be afraid."
"Huh?"
"If you are worried that you will be blamed when eldest brother comes back, you can relax."
"..."
"I am the one who married you, and he has to blame me." .”
