Chapter 654: Who is the person who captured Taiyuan?
The sky is clear and the fields are vast.
As soon as he opened his eyes, what he could see was the cloudless sky and the endless grassland. It was as if the scene of his childhood appeared again in his dream. For a moment, Shang Ruyi found it difficult to distinguish. Are you in reality or an illusion?
But the next moment, a violent jolt and the accompanying pain in her muscles and bones pulled her thoughts back from the illusion.
“Ugh!”
Just after she woke up from a coma, she let out a low cry unexpectedly, and then she heard the low and hoarse voice above her head, like rough rocks brushing against her eardrums: "Are you awake?"
< br>Shang Ruyi was shocked and immediately woke up.
She then realized that she was still sitting on the horse, leaning against a broad and thick chest. When she raised her head, she came face to face with the handsome and handsome face she last saw before she fell into coma. Rough face——
Ashina Zhuxie.
Then, another burst of sharp pain came from the back of his neck. Shang Ruyi could hardly hold back and moaned again, but bit his lower lip and held it back tightly, and the dull pain also reminded him He killed her - she was knocked unconscious by this person because she was still unwilling to settle down. Even though she was taken far away from Qixian County by this team, she still wanted to escape. In the end, she was hit by Ashina Zhuxie. Neck, passed out.
Now, the surrounding scenery is very different from before. They have actually left the customs and arrived on the grassland!
I don’t know how long I was unconscious.
“Don’t think about it anymore,”
The rough voice sounded again, saying calmly: “If you were in those places before, you might still be able to find a way to escape, but now we are here On the grassland, there is no horse, no food, no direction, you can’t move at all.”
“…”
Shang Ruyi's breath tightened and he frowned.
This person is right, and——
Ashina Zhuxie looked ahead and said while riding his horse: "Besides, you have been in a coma for several days, and you haven't recovered yet. Eat, even if I give you a horse, you can't escape now."
As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp pain like a knife came from his stomach.
Shang Ruyi bit her lower lip again, but she was enduring the weakness and pain caused by the extreme hunger. Even if she did nothing now, she could still feel the pain and weakness in the muscles and bones of her body. When she woke up, these feelings became more and more intense. After a while, she was breaking into a cold sweat and her breathing became constricted.
How long have you been unconscious?
Feeling that the person in his arms was breathing weakly and sweating, Ashina Zhuxie glanced down and suddenly said: "Rest where you are!"
He gave an order, and those around him The thunderous sound of galloping horse hooves stopped one after another, and he tightened the reins, stopped the horse under his seat, then turned over and dismounted, and stretched out his hands to Shang Ruyi on the horse.
"..."
Shang Ruyi glanced at him and said nothing. He only bent down, grasped the bridle with both hands, and slowly slid off the horse.
Ashina Zhu Xie looked at her somewhat stubborn back and the backs of her hands with bulging veins. Somehow, he seemed to remember something and was in a daze for a moment. However, Shang Ruyi got off the horse smoothly. , but this action also completely consumed her little remaining physical strength. As soon as her feet landed on the ground, her knees softened and she fell unexpectedly.
“Ah!”
Shang Ruyi exclaimed in fright, and was about to fall to the ground. At this moment, a pair of arms stretched out from behind and held her tightly. .
Shang Ruyi looked back with lingering fear, it was Ashina Zhuxie.
He looked down at her, his eyes seemed to be in a trance, but also inquiring, and murmured thoughtfully: "You, it seems-"
Shang Ruyi was stunned and looked at him in surprise, not knowing what he was talking about.
Ashena Zhuxie seemed to feel something, and immediately straightened his expression, holding her arms to help her stand upright: "Can you stand firm?"
" ..."
Shang Ruyi didn't say anything. He just gritted his teeth and stood firm by instinct. Then he stood up and said with sweating profusely: "I'm fine."
Ashina Zhuxie looked at her again and smiled.
The army rested on the spot and began to boil water and barbecue. They moved quickly, and soon the steam was rising. The barbecue was sizzling and oily on the flames, and the biting cold wind was filled with the aroma of meat.
Sitting in front of the campfire, Shang Ruyi finally waited for a piece of barbecue and a bowl of hot soup.
As soon as she took it from the soldier's hand, she couldn't wait to drink the soup and eat the meat. She didn't know how many days of hunger finally got a little oil and water to moisten her body, which stimulated her whole body. She was trembling, and Ashina Zhuxie, who was sitting aside, looked at her face through the flames, which had regained some color.
After a long while, he said: "I thought you would refuse."
Shang Ruyi swallowed a mouthful of meat, but still felt that his chest was tight, so he took a big sip of hot soup and finally felt After suppressing the grease, he looked up at him and said, "What?"
"I thought you wouldn't eat the enemy's food."
"Why not?"
"Don't you Han people pay attention to something - integrity?"
Shang Ruyi He lowered his head and glanced at the oil floating in the soup bowl, sneered, and said: "It's about integrity, but it doesn't conflict with me eating your food."
"..."
"Besides, didn't you just say that I haven't eaten for several days? Even if you give me a horse, I can't escape."
Ashina Zhuxie raised his eyebrows slightly: "So, Do you still want to escape?"
"Of course."
"..."
Actually, Shang Ruyi feels the same way. She felt that not long after he caught her, this person began to explore her, and she didn't know for what purpose; however, she had heard about the origin of Ashina Zhuxie, and knew that he had a sinister and calm temperament and was capable of doing good things. Duan is not a person who is easily angered. Even if he clearly wants to run away, he may not be angry because of these words. But unexpectedly, after hearing his own words, he suddenly laughed.
Shang Ruyi couldn't help but frown.
After laughing, those wolf-like eyes narrowed slightly again, flashing with a little boiling temperature through the firelight, and said: "I would like to see what you can do in my hands. Escape."
"..."
"Besides, don't you want to see your old friend?"
"...!"
Shang Ruyi's breath sank and he became quiet.
In fact, she also understands that there is no point in having a verbal dispute with Ashina Zhuxie here. Besides, she has not fully recovered her strength yet, let alone where they are. It was indeed too early to escape.
What's more, he was right.
Looking at them heading north, they have reached the grassland, and they should be going to the Turkic tent. If so, then she may really be able to see it...
With this thought, she calmed down, said nothing more, and quietly finished what she had in hand.
Although he had eaten and drank enough, his physical strength did not recover so quickly. Shang Ruyi sat quietly in the distance and warmed himself by the fire. The crowd almost covered the entire grassland. When I was captured by them before, because it was too dark and I was too nervous, I never figured out how many people there were in this team. But now I took a quick look and saw that there were at least tens of thousands of people.
So many people——
She suddenly thought of something, looked up at the other side of the bonfire, where Ashina Zhuxie was eating, and said: "You guys, originally wanted to Are you going to Taiyuan?”
Ashina Zhuxie looked up at her and said nothing.
But Shang Ruyi frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then said: "But you went to Qi County, and now, you are heading north."
"..."
" You didn’t go to reinforce Taiyuan, so Taiyuan now——”
Ashi Zhu Xie looked at her intently, his eyes flickering slightly under the firelight: "You, a woman, actually care about us sending troops to fight the war in Taiyuan?"
Shang Ruyi said: "Can't women care about the war?"
"..."
"I have been captured by you. If you don't care anymore, there will be no room for escape."
Hearing that she still wanted to escape, Ashina Zhu Xie was still not irritated. Instead, he pursed his thin lips into a line, seemingly showing a smile, and said: "You really look a bit like -"
"What?"
"Nothing,"
Ashina Zhuxie drank up the broth in the bowl in one gulp, then put down the empty bowl and said, "Since you are so concerned about the war, I can also tell you."
"..."
"Yes, we were originally going to increase our troops in Taiyuan Yes, but due to some accidents, we were unable to reach Taiyuan as planned. Now, Taiyuan has been lost! "
These two. The words made Shang Ruyi suddenly open his eyes.
Ashina Zhuxie looked at her in shock with a hint of bewilderment, and said calmly: "Yes, Taiyuan City is no longer in our hands."
"..."
Shang Ruyi's breath was stifled.
But she didn't say anything immediately. Instead, she sat there stiffly. The muscles and bones all over her body, which were already sore and weak, felt inexplicably severe pain at this time. The pain made her take a deep breath before looking for her. Her heartbeat returned a little, and then she looked up at Ashina Zhuxie and whispered: "Can I ask how that battle was fought?"
Ashina Zhuxie looked at it Her face suddenly turned pale again, and she raised her eyebrows slightly.
"Of course."
"..."
"I also sent people to inquire about the news. That night - the night we caught you, there was sudden turmoil in Taiyuan City. ;Someone opened the city gate inside the city, The men who had been ambushing outside the city took advantage of that opportunity and cooperated with the people inside to kill them. "
"..."
"Now, Taiyuan has been captured by the Yuwen family. The people recovered.”
As he spoke, he curled his lips again, looked at Shang Ruyi's pale face, and said with a confused look in his eyes: "I just don't know whether the people who captured Taiyuan were the people who ambush me in Mengyang, or you. Husband——Yu Wenye"
"..."
"What do you think?"
