Chapter 289 Maybe, there is still love

The one who leaned over to face her was a face that was so beautiful that it was almost sharp. She was wearing a black collar and brown clothes like the people around her, except for a thick windbreaker. The cloak was flying in the wind at this time, and it also caused her black hair tied behind her head to fly in the wind, adding a bit of sharpness to her beauty.

She looked at Shang Ruyi, her big, deep and sharp eyes widened, as if she couldn't believe her own eyes.

After a long while, she said in a deep voice: "Shang Ruyi?"

Shang Ruyi, who had been looking up to her, didn't know until this moment when he heard the familiar voice calling his name. I finally believed my eyes.

Shang Ruyi said softly: "Lei...yu..."

She was leading a team of nearly a thousand people in front of her. The person running quickly in the wind and snow was none other than the eldest lady of the Lei family, who was also the number one. A few months ago, Lei Yu followed his father Lei Yi to Hebei to quell the rebellion, but eventually betrayed the court and took refuge with Liang Shide!

Shang Ruyi felt as if his whole body had cooled down. The howling north wind blew across his face like a knife, and he didn't even feel the pain anymore.

The two people looked at each other quietly for a long time.

The expression on Lei Yu's face changed again and again, but she didn't say anything more. Instead, she raised her hand. As soon as the people behind her saw her gesture, they immediately ordered the people around them to stay put, and she He had already turned over and dismounted, walked up to Shang Ruyi, frowned and said, "Why are you here?"

Shang Ruyi also looked at her and said in a hoarse voice: "Why are you here?"

"..."

The two of them are again There was silence.

After a while, Lei Yu spoke first. She said: "Liang Shide's troops are attacking - no, they must have captured Dongdu. I was ordered to lead the troops to stop Dongdu here. Send out troops for help.”

Shang Ruyi's voice became hoarse: "Ask for help?"

"Yes."

"Dongdu, who else can you turn to for help...?"

Hear Lei Yu frowned at this, but she quickly said: "When the emperor left the Eastern Capital, he abandoned the entire north. People around him have known this result for a long time. From a profit perspective, they are indeed unlikely to send more troops to rescue. After all-"

She said Here, there was a subconscious delay.

But Shang Ruyi then said softly: "After all, the soldiers and horses in our hands are what we rely on to survive in this troubled world."

Lei Yu's eyes flickered slightly.

She probably didn't expect that Shang Ruyi would always remember this sentence, and even if she said it at this time, she didn't know whose heart it hurt. But she still nodded, and then said: "However, even so, we cannot generalize."

"..."

"After all, in this world, apart from interests and survival, , there are also loyalty, filial piety and justice, and..."

"What else?"

Lei Yu was silent for a while and said: "Maybe, there is still love."

"...Love?"

"Yes, All these can make people give up their interests, give up their survival, and even risk their lives. "

Shang Ruyi looked at her beautiful and resolute face. Although she was almost expressionless in the wind and snow, she could still tell a hint of sadness, but she didn't She knows whether this sadness is for herself or for something else.

Shang Ruyi just nodded and said softly: "You are right."

She thought for a while and suddenly said: "But, you said, Liang Shide's men have already captured Dongdu?"
>
Lei Yu nodded.

Shang Ruyi frowned: "Why are you so sure? Even if you and Lei - you are familiar with Dongdu's city defense and control, but Dongdu's city is so strong, even if there are not many people left behind, it will not be He was captured by Liang Shide in such a short time."

Lei Yu looked at her with a strange light in his eyes.

She said: "There is an internal response in the city."

"What?!"

Shang Ruyi was shocked. When he lowered his head and thought about it, he suddenly understood: "Yes, it was you who sent people in in advance. City——"

Lei Yu said: "They sent people into the city in advance, but they are not our people."

"Who is that?"

"Wanggang Village, Xiao Yuansui's people."

"...!"

Shang Ruyi gasped.

Xiao Yuansui, this person again, this name again!

As expected, he is not a simple character.

Only then did she understand why the people in the city had been leaving Luoyang one after another when Hebei fell and the emperor decided to go south and abandon the Eastern Capital, but so many people inexplicably appeared in the Eastern Capital, and it seemed that they were all Some strong men.

It turns out that he is from Wanggang Village, Xiao Yuansui!

They have established a line with Liang Shide's people. Since they want to attack Luoyang, they must achieve the greatest results with the least sacrifice. The best way is to send troops into the Eastern Capital in advance to lie dormant until the emperor leaves. Liang Shide's army arrived, and these people immediately greeted them in the city. It would be almost effortless to capture the eastern capital.

Shang Ruyi smiled bitterly.

Fortunately, she had sworn to Tu Sheer and the others before that the Eastern Capital City was strong and the food supply was sufficient. Liang Shide's men were just a bunch of rabble and were not qualified to take the Eastern Capital. Now——

The biting cold wind rolled up a ball of snow as big as an egg and slapped her face with a snap.

It seemed as if he had been beaten hard.

Shang Ruyi's face was painful and cold, but she couldn't care about it at this time. She only felt uneasy and even ominous in her heart, which almost made her suffocate.

At this time, she heard Lei Yu's voice ringing in her ears again, as if coming from a far away place -

"Shang Ruyi, why are you here? ”

"..."

"Where is Feng Chen? He is not with you?"

"..."

"Why are you not in Dongdu City?" 
“…”

Shang Ruyi raised his numb face and looked at her. He was silent for a moment and then slowly said: "He, he was ordered to attack Wanggang Village."

"Oh?"

Lei Yu raised his eyebrows, with a strange look on his face.

Immediately asked: "Then you -"

Shang Ruyi said: "His Majesty went south to Jiangdu Palace to take us all away. I didn't want to go, so I ran away secretly out.”

"Oh..."

Lei Yu nodded lightly, as if remembering what happened in Yanmen County, and then looked at Shang Ruyi's pale face and panicked eyes, and said lightly: "You are right to do this. If you really follow him south, you don't know what kind of situation you will face."
 Shang Ruyi said: "It may not be good to stay in Dongdu."

Hearing this, a cold light flashed in Lei Yu's eyes, and she said: "Do you want to say that if you stay in Dongdu? Dongdu, will you be killed by the sword tonight?"

Shang Ruyi said: "The sword has no eyes."

"..." Lei Yu looked at her in silence for a while, then suddenly smiled sarcastically and said, "You don't have to belittle yourself. No matter what happens in Dongdu tonight, even if Ziwei Palace is demolished, no one will touch it. Every plant and tree in your Yuwen family.”

“…!?”

Shang Ruyi was startled, then looked up at her, and suddenly understood something, feeling that the words he just said seemed too sharp, she and Lei Jade, indeed, will not fall to this point.

So he said softly: "I know, you have always treated us-"

Lei Yu said: "It's not just us."

"Huh?"

Shang Ruyi was startled again and looked up at her - what do you mean?

Lei Yu also looked down at her, with a complicated light shining in his eyes, and said: "Before sending out the troops, I made a request to them. No matter what, the army cannot harass your home after entering Dongdu City. Originally, this was intended to be conveyed to the group of people lurking in Dongdu, but when our news was conveyed, their news was conveyed first."

"..."

"They requested that after Liang Shide's army enters the Eastern Capital City, they can do anything except touch the Yuwen family."

"..."

"Especially, they cannot touch Mrs. Yuwen." 
“…!”

Shang Ruyi froze there, losing his reaction for a moment.

The people in Wanggangzhai asked Liang Shide not to disturb the Yuwen family, especially themselves?

Although her limbs were numb from the cold, her mind was spinning very fast at this time, and she almost immediately understood that the only person she could have any relationship with in Wanggang Village was Xiao Yuansui, at least. When he entered Xingluocang alone, he was very polite to him and never hurt him from beginning to end.

Did he tell you this?

Lei Yu said: "It seems that your relationship with Wanggangzhai is extraordinary."

Shang Ruyi was still speechless.

Lei Yu looked at her, her eyes becoming more solemn. After hesitating for a long time, she said softly: "Shang Ruyi, you-"

Before she could finish her words, suddenly, they both seemed to feel something, They all turned their heads to look ahead on the road, and the people behind them were also alert.

In the vast night and snow, someone seemed to be speeding towards them.

Lei Yu was much more vigilant than others. He immediately raised his hand and everyone behind him was on guard. Some even drew out their swords. The pale and cold light directly stung in this night. human eyes.

But at this time, Jiang Kesheng said first: "It seems to be one of ours!"

"...!"

As soon as he heard this, Shang Ruyi's face immediately showed an expression of surprise, and he hurriedly turned around to greet him. Sure enough, he saw a team of The men and horses galloped out of the wind and snow, and reflecting the surrounding firelight, she recognized at a glance that the one riding in the lead was Mu Xian!

They are coming!

Shang Ruyi smiled happily, stepped forward and shouted: "Mr. Mu!"

Mu Xian and the others probably didn't expect that there would be so many people here, and were startled. However, when they saw Shang Ruyi, they were somewhat relieved and hurriedly galloped towards Shang Ruyi. When they arrived in front of Shang Ruyi, He immediately turned over and dismounted: "Young Madam - Miss Lei?"

Lei Yu looked at him and just nodded silently.

Mu Xian's expression changed sharply, and he looked at the people following her again, and immediately understood what was happening. He was silent for a moment, and could only nod his head without saying anything else.

In just a moment, the people following him rushed up one after another.

Although the people on both sides met with some inexplicable hostility, because the leader did not speak or take action during the meeting, the people below were nervous but suppressed their emotions. Feng Xue There is a tense atmosphere in it.

But at this time, no matter how tense the atmosphere was, it could not affect Shang Ruyi.

She said happily: "You are finally here. I was worried that something would happen in Dongdu and you would be in trouble."

Mu Xian glanced at Lei Yu with a complicated expression. Said: "Dongdu - something has indeed happened. The people of Wanggangzhai and Liang Shide's army should cooperate with each other. Now, Dongdu City has fallen into Liang Shide's hands, and the defenders have..."

What follows, he Can't tell.

And Lei Yu's face also showed a complicated expression, like joy, but also like a somewhat contradictory pull.

Shang Ruyi's heart sank more and more.

Although Lei Yu had just told her everything, she still couldn't help but feel uncomfortable when she actually heard the news from Mu Xian's mouth. What made her even more uneasy was that Dongdu City had lost its power so quickly. Fall, what about Princess Crescent Moon and Queen Jiang?

What’s more important is——

She looked up at Mu Xian, then looked around, but she couldn’t find Yuwen Ye!

What about others?

As if he knew who she was looking for, Mu Xian's eyes flickered at this moment. Shang Ruyi immediately frowned and asked in a deep voice: "Where is Feng Chen?"

"..."
 "Where are the others?"

Mu Xian did not speak immediately, but subconsciously glanced back.

Shang Ruyi felt happy again and hurriedly raised his head to look into the wind and snow. Mu Xian led a large group of people. In addition to the group following him, there was also a large group of people behind him. It was like a dark cloud pressing towards them in the wind and snow, which also made Lei Yu's men and horses become more and more uneasy.

But the next moment, everyone fell silent.

Because in the wind and snow, a horseman ran over with the support of everyone. The slender figure on the horse gradually became clear in everyone's eyes, getting closer and closer, and could be clearly seen. It was a girl wearing a red windbreaker. Although her expression was panicked, her appearance was beautiful and she could conquer the country.

Her appearance is like a delicate little flower that suddenly blooms in a violent storm, making people's hearts tremble.

Shang Ruyi suddenly opened his eyes wide.

That was Chu Ruoyan, Princess of the Crescent Moon!

She obviously didn't expect to see so many people here. She looked at the people around her tremblingly. As soon as she saw Shang Ruyi, she immediately seemed to have found support: "Young Madam!"

" "Mr. Princess--"

The words Her Royal Highness were almost blurted out, but an idea flashed in Shang Ruyi's mind and he immediately changed his words: "You are here."

Lei Yu, who was standing next to her, was obviously a little confused.

However, she didn't say anything, and even turned her head lightly, signaling to the people behind her not to act rashly. When those people saw such a charming and charming woman, their murderous aura suddenly disappeared. It calmed down.

And closely following the Crescent Princess, there was a cavalry, but it was one of Mu Xian's men, holding an eight or nine-year-old child in his arms, it was King Zhao Chu Chengfei.

He was obviously frightened along the way. He is still pale and unable to speak a word.

At this time, Shang Ruyi had already understood.

Yu Wenye and Mu Xian rushed back from Xingluocang. The time should have coincided with Liang Shide's attack on Luoyang City. They picked up the princess and King Zhao and took them on the road together.

But——

She looked around again, and more and more people were coming, but there was still no familiar figure in the crowd. On the contrary, the expression on Mu Xian's face became more complicated and weird, as if he was hiding something, and as if he was afraid that she would ask something. .

Shang Ruyi felt difficulty breathing and his heartbeat became heavier.

She asked: "Where are the others?"

"..."

"Say it quickly!"

Mu Xian struggled for a long time, and finally whispered in a voice as thin as a mosquito's: "Second Young Master, he went to chase the Queen..."
