Chapter 113 Someone entered the inn!

"I--"

At this moment, Shang Ruyi felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

She suddenly realized that if Shen Shiyan and his wife were saved, she, and all of them, would have nowhere to go.

Time is passing by bit by bit, just like the endless gurgling river ahead.

Shang Ruyi couldn't utter a single word.

She made a hot decision to save her uncle and aunt, and not let them go to Lingnan to suffer. But it was only now that she suddenly realized that even if she saved them, maybe the next days would be endless suffering.

After all, the imperial court will not let the exiled prisoners be robbed. Once officers and soldiers are used to arrest them, they will have no place to stand, and they will never have peace.

However, she had to save her uncle and aunt.

At this moment, the desperate feeling of having nowhere to go, let alone escape to heaven, made her whole body cold, and even the hand holding the reins became a little stiff.

She looked around in a panic, desperately trying to find something, even if it was just a bit of misty light, it would at least give herself a little hope.

Suddenly, she saw Yu Wenye with a stern face.

By the way, his father - Yu Wenyuan!

The reason why he refused to marry Yu Wenzui but chose to marry him, apart from his ridiculous self-love, wasn't it because of Yu Wenyuan? In such troubled times, what could be better than being attached to such a person?

, how to better ensure the safety of yourself and your family?

So, as long as Yu Wenyuan is still there, they will not be in danger, right?

But the next moment, a completely opposite thought appeared in Shang Ruyi's mind unconsciously -

Yu Wenyuan will succeed, but his success does not mean that the people around him can be completely safe.

Over the past dynasties, those who have made great achievements, or even founded a country and proclaimed themselves emperor, how many of their relatives died in the difficult journey before success, becoming a ghost worth remembering, but in the end they can only be remembered?

She must make the right choice at every step in order to rely on his final success and protect herself and her family.

Nowadays, Sheng Guogong is obviously not strong enough to fight against the imperial court or even the whole world on his own. At this moment, he is supervising the transportation of grain and grass in western Liaoning. If they really commit the crime of prisoner robbery in Luoyang, even if Sheng Guogong is not implicated, they can

If you are caught, you will inevitably die.

By that time, wouldn't Shen Shiyan and the Yu family be implicated by themselves?

At this moment, Shang Ruyi's thoughts were like a mess. With her disordered breathing, she thought almost every moment, and every thought entangled her heart, making her thoughts even more confusing.

Just when she was struggling, there were footsteps in front of her.

I saw Mu Xian running back quickly, standing in front of Yu Wenye's horse, cupping his hands and saying, "Young Master."

Mr. Na Mu said: "Go back to the young master, my subordinates have heard clearly. There are only three horses in the manger of the Zhanping River Station, and there should be only three officers escorting Mr. Shen and his wife; and the number of personnel in the station should not exceed four.

"

Yu Wenye said: "In other words, including Mr. Shen and his wife, there are less than ten people."

"yes."

"Okay, get on your horse."

Mu Xian accepted the order and immediately got on his horse.

The air around him became tighter.

Everyone knows that the officials escorting the exiled prisoners are unlikely to be people who are good at fighting. The postmen of a small post station are probably old, weak, sick and disabled, and there are more than ten people in their group, except Shang Ruyi.

With high martial arts skills, it would be really easy to kidnap the Shen family and his wife from such a group of people.

Yu Wenye's eyes were cold and determined, and he looked at Shang Ruyi: "Have you made your decision?"

"..."

"What we have to decide now is not whether to take action or not, but which direction we want to go after leaving the inn."

"..."

Shang Ruyi felt like there were ants crawling in her heart. The restless mood made her unable to think calmly anymore. She whispered: "You, what do you think?"

Yu Wenye said coldly: "This matter was decided by you, and it was also exchanged between you and me."

"..."

"Then you should make the next arrangements yourself."

At this point, his eyes became even colder: "You should bear the consequences."

Shang Ruyi bit her lower lip and couldn't utter a word. Yu Wenye's words did not give her the confidence to make a decision at all. Instead, they seemed to push her into a desperate situation step by step.

At this moment, Mu Xian suddenly said again: "Sir, young madam, there is one more thing that I would like to report."

Both of them immediately looked up at him.

Yu Wenye said: "What's the matter?"

Mu Xian said: "When my subordinates approached the inn to investigate, they found that the shackles on Lord Shen's body seemed to have been taken off."

"...?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Wenye, who had always been calm and self-possessed, his eyes flickered.

Shang Ruyi immediately said: "Really?"

Mu Xian nodded and said: "Not only have the shackles been removed, my subordinates also saw that the three escorting officers seemed to be sitting with Mr. Shen and his wife for dinner, chatting happily..."

Shang Ruyi took a deep breath.

Although she has never had the experience of her family being exiled before, she still understands some of the rules of the court. If some felons are exiled, they will not only have to be shackled all the way, and their hands, feet, and necks will be bruised to pieces, but some officials will also torture the prisoners.

Some criminals do not even survive the exile; some minor criminals are exiled. Although they need to be shackled during the day, when they rest at night, kind-hearted officials may unshackle them and even have a slightly more relaxed attitude.

, and also make their lives easier.

If we say that Shen Shiyan not only had his shackles removed, but also sat and ate with the escort officer...

Were they not abused?

If this is the case——

She slowly raised her head to look at Yu Wenye, who had a complicated expression, and said hesitantly: "Brother Yu——, I——"

Before she finished speaking, Yu Wenye suddenly raised his hand: "Stop talking!"

"...?"

Shang Ruyi was stunned and subconsciously closed his mouth. However, he saw that Yu Wenye neither spoke nor made any movement. He only frowned, as if he was listening carefully.

But except for the increasingly violent sound of the wind and the sound of rushing water in the distance, there was nothing at all.

Shang Ruyi wanted to ask something more, but he couldn't speak casually.

But only a moment later, I heard Yu Wenye say in a deep voice: "Someone is coming."

As soon as they heard this, everyone became nervous and looked around hurriedly, but the night was so dark around them that they could hardly see their fingers. Where could they see half a human figure?

Shang Ruyi subconsciously lowered his voice and said, "Where is there?"

I saw Yu Wenye's eyes like torches, looking sharply at the inn with only a flickering light in the distance, and suddenly said: "Someone has entered that inn!"
