Chapter 124 The only people we can rely on are each other

The Turks are a nomadic people living on the vast grasslands in the north. Their people are fierce by nature, brave and good at fighting. They often go south and cross the Great Wall to harass the border, plunder property, and even approach the capital Daxing several times. They have always been hanging on the Daye Dynasty.

A sharp sword above the head.

However, this situation took a turn for the better more than twenty years ago.

At that time, Shang Ruohong, who was then the Hussars General of Zuo Xunwei, was on an envoy to the Turks. This coincided with the change of royal power within the Turks. The fierce and brutal Turk Zuo Yuwang Ashina Zari was about to ascend the throne. This man had always coveted the rich properties of the Daye Dynasty.

If he takes the throne, he will definitely use troops in the south and cause greater military chaos.

Shang Ruohong seized the opportunity and contacted Princess Qiancheng who was married to the Turks to create chaos within the Turks. At the same time, he supported the eldest son of Princess Qiancheng, Ashenaton, to ascend the throne. From then on, the Turks split into the east and west, and their strength was greatly weakened.

Coupled with mutual constraints, the Daye Dynasty also enjoyed a long period of relative peace.

However, this is only relative.

Even if they were split, the Western Turks still posed a non-negligible threat to the Daye Dynasty. Especially after Ashina Tsari quelled the internal rebellion and once again pointed the finger at the south, wars often broke out on the border.

Therefore, the emperor's current tour of northern Xinjiang was not a simple tour in the eyes of many people.

I'm just afraid——

|

Things were just as Yu Wenye guessed.

Two days later, the imperial court issued a decree that His Majesty the Emperor would tour Northern Xinjiang. In addition to civil and military officials of fourth rank and above, he also appointed the family members of several generals who had gone to western Liaoning to prepare for battle to accompany him.

Among them, the first in line are the son and daughter-in-law of Sheng Guogong.

Shang Ruyi and Yu Wenye sent Yuwen Cheng to the academy to be a teacher. As soon as they got home, they received an order to set off early the next morning. Fortunately, she listened to Yu Wenye and started packing two days in advance.

Luggage, I'm not in a hurry.

But the family members were still very worried.

Aunt Hui also said worriedly at this time: "Do you want to revise the book and tell the Duke and Madam?"

Yu Wenye sat in the lobby to discuss the matter with his family. He thought about it and said immediately: "My father is supervising the transportation of grain and grass on the front line, so he can't be distracted. Now winter is coming soon in western Liaoning, and my mother is weak and afraid of the cold. She can't bear it."

Don’t disturb me, don’t tell them these things.”

Aunt Hui said: "Then this trip to Northern Xinjiang——"

Yu Wenye said: "Since Ruyi and I are asked to accompany you, we can't slack off. Aunt Hui, I'll ask you to worry more about family matters."

Aunt Hui smiled and said, "This is my duty."

After saying that, she looked up at Shang Ruyi again, smiled and said, "Do you have anything else to explain, young lady?"

Shang Ruyi was sitting next to Yu Wenye. Hearing this, he shook his head and said, "It's nothing. Aunt Hui is more familiar with the affairs at home than me, so I'll have to worry about everything."

Aunt Hui also smiled and nodded.

Yuwen Ye turned to Yuwen Cheng, who was already restless, and said, "We are not at home, so you have to study hard. I took you to the academy today and you saw it. The students there are all children from ordinary families.

I'm just a lackey in a cockfight with you. If you behave like you did in Taiyuan again, then don't blame me for coming back and punishing you!"

Yu Wencheng said impatiently: "Second brother, I understand."

Aunt Hui also smiled and said: "Second Young Master, don't worry, Third Young Master has become sensible a long time ago."

So, Yu Wenye stood up and said to Shang Ruyi: "Let's go, get some rest early, we have to leave early tomorrow morning."

"Um."

This night, everyone spent their time in their own uneasiness and anxiety.

Early the next morning, everyone got up early and prepared to set off after breakfast. Shang Ruyi walked to the door and saw that there was only a carriage parked outside the door, as well as a few people under Mu Xian and a few horses.

.

Although this time he was going to Northern Xinjiang, because he was accompanying the Holy Emperor, each entourage had to reduce the number of people around him. Yu Wenye only brought Mu Xian and a few of his men, and Shang Ruyi only brought

Tu Sheer was alone, and even Wuxue stayed at home.

Standing at the gate, Shang Ruyi told Wuxue again, asking her to listen more to Aunt Hui and not to cause trouble, and Wuxue listened one by one.

Tusheer put the packed luggage into the carriage.

Yu Wenye originally wanted to give Yu Wen Cheng a few more words, but when he looked back, he saw that the child had gone to nowhere, so he could only sigh and said to Aunt Hui: "Aunt Hui has to worry about the things at home.

"

Aunt Hui smiled and said, "Second Young Master, please rest assured."

After explaining some things, the two walked to the carriage.

Someone had already moved a small stool and placed it in front of the car. As soon as Shang Ruyi stepped on it, a hand reached out to support her. When she looked back, it was Yu Wenye who was standing on her hand, holding her warm hand.

Touching her fingertips.

That warmth immediately dissipated most of the chill on a person's body on a somewhat cold morning.

As if sensing Shang Ruyi's gaze, he also raised his head and looked at her.

The two people's eyes met, but they did not immediately avoid each other's eyes. Instead, they both stayed in each other's eyes. After a moment, Yu Wenye said softly: "Be careful."

Shang Ruyi nodded gently: "Yes."

Regardless of whether there was a transaction or any disagreements between them, at this time, it seemed that the only people they could rely on were each other.

Soon, with his help, Shang Ruyi got into the car and sat in the carriage.

Just when Yu Wenye was about to get on the carriage, suddenly, there was a sound of horse hooves in front of him, which suddenly broke the silence of this long street.

For some reason, Shang Ruyi subconsciously felt that the sound of horse hooves was a bit harsh.

She lifted the curtain and peeked out, only to see a familiar little eunuch riding over. He stopped in front of their carriage. Then he got off his horse and walked to Yu Wenye. He leaned over and saluted: "Second Young Master."

It was the young eunuch sent by Princess Crescent to invite Yu Wenye into the palace that day.

As soon as he saw him, Shang Ruyi's heart suddenly sank.

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

The little eunuch said softly: "Your Highness has something to do, and I would like to ask the second young master to come over and say a few words."

"I want to travel with Your Majesty, so I can't waste time."

"Don't worry, young master, this time you are touring northern Xinjiang, and your highness will also accompany you."

"oh……"

After hearing these words, Yu Wenye looked up again and met Shang Shang Ruyi's dark eyes. He thought for a while and said: "You go to the city gate to meet the Holy Driver first, I will be there soon."

"..."

Shang Ruyi immediately smiled and said: "Okay."

So, the group of people left Yuwen Mansion and headed to the North City Gate.

As the carriage swayed forward, Shang Ruyi couldn't help but lift the curtain and glance back, only to see Yu Wenye get on his horse and quickly go to the other way.

She smiled faintly and lowered the curtain.
