Chapter 210: Blessings or bad consequences?

In a somewhat narrow room, the heat is steaming and the sound of water is rustling.

Amid the heat spreading, a middle-aged woman walked in from behind the screen, holding a set of coarse cloth clothes in her hand and put them on a low stool beside the bathtub. She said without any politely: "Let's put the clothes here, wear them yourself."

After saying that, he turned around and walked out with a whisper.

As soon as the door was closed, only Shang Ruyi in the bathtub was left in the room. She slowly raised her head, her eyes full of vigilance and solemnity.

Last night, after several life and death, she could not escape the pursuit of the people in the dark, and was captured and taken away by them.

Fortunately, these people were quite polite to her. Not only did they not hurt her, they imprisoned her, but they also prepared hot water baths for her and changed clothes for her when she saw her covered in blood. After these long journeys and the life-and-death battle last night, she really needed some cleaning, and even more so, she needed time to relax at this moment - but even so, she did not dare to relax completely.

This place is Xingluo Cang City after all!

Thinking of this, even though he had already felt a little tired after being soaked in the warm bath soup, Shang Ruyi shook her head vigorously to make herself more awake.

At this moment, a voice of conversation came from outside the door-

"Sister-in-law, what kind of general's wife is the one in the room?"

"That's right."

"It's strange. Isn't the one who fights with us just the lackeys of the court? Why didn't you kill her and bring her back?"

"Who knows. This is what the shopkeeper ordered."

"If you want me to tell me, you shouldn't have to work hard. Her man has been causing trouble for us all these days. Look, until now, Brother Lu and the others are still looking for him outside."

...

Shang Ruyi could no longer listen to the words afterwards.

Looking for him?

The people from Xingluo Cang are also looking for Yuwen Ye?

She felt uneasy, and the bath soup was a little cold, so she hurriedly walked out of the bathtub. No one was serving her, so she could only take a dry veil and wipe the water from her body, and then reach out to get the clothes sent by the woman.

When I reached out, I found that there were earrings on the clothes.

Strangely, these people were already very polite when they changed her clothes. Why did they even dress up her? But even if they dress up, what can a pair of earrings add?

Besides, she didn't have the intention at this time.

So she put the earrings aside and changed into clothes - just an ordinary blue cloth dress, and was washed white, which was obviously worn by someone else, but at this time she had nothing to picky about. She carefully sorted out her neckline and belt and prepared to go out.

However, as soon as I reached the door, I heard footsteps coming from outside.

This is not a footstep, it is very steady, and it is different from ordinary people at first sound.

Shang Ruyi subconsciously stopped inside the door, holding her breath and listening quietly, only the voice of a young man was heard: "Are you okay?"

A middle-aged woman smiled and said, "Brother Hua, why are you here in person? You're almost done, so you're done, Humph, that Mrs. Guan is just in trouble, and she's still taking a shower. I'll urge her now."

“No need.”

"Zi Ying, why don't you lock this woman up?"

"Yes, we don't have time to take care of the hawks and dogs in the court."

"Go and tell the boss and kill her."

When he heard that he wanted to kill himself, Shang Ruyi's heart could not help but tremble, but the next moment, he heard the calm voice of the young man: "Although we came out of Wanggang Village, do you still remember the rules of the village? It is an iron rule that does not kill the elderly and the weak, and does not kill women and children! In the future, don't let me hear such words again!"

Although he was young, he had a resounding demeanor as soon as he opened his mouth, and the people around him immediately did not dare to say anything else.

At this time, the voice said to the closed door again: "Madam, if you are ready, come out."

“…!”

Shang Ruyi's heart stumbled again.

Unexpectedly, although this person was talking to people outside, his ears were very aware. He probably had heard that he was standing at the door a long time ago. She took a deep breath, pushed the door and walked out.

There were two guards guarding the gate standing outside the door, and a middle-aged woman who had just come in to deliver clothes to her.

And then, that young man.

He was wearing a blue suit, with a quiver and a longbow on his back. He was handsome, tall and capable, looking only in his twenties, but his temperament was very calm. It was obviously the sharpshooter who rescued her from Kou Yunliang's military camp last night, and then he shot her up to Xingluocang.

Just now, I heard someone call him Brother Hua, Ziying. It seems that he is Hua Ziying, who is known as "Little Li Guang" in Wanggang Village.

Hua Ziying looked up and saw her. His eyes flashed for a moment. He immediately bowed and bowed and said, "Madam, if you are ready, just follow me."

After saying that, he raised his hand and made a gesture of invitation. Shang Ruyi didn't say anything and left directly.

After all, Xingluo Cang City was built by the imperial court, which is obviously different from ordinary copycats. The specifications and layouts are much higher. You can even see some great scenery along the way. However, now, the guards of each pass are no longer the imperial people, but the people from Wanggang Village. Their eyes are full of hostility. As they walked along the way, they were stared at by hundreds of gazes, and there was also the illusion that countless blades and swords rolled over them.

As soon as he finished taking a shower, Shang Ruyi was already sweating.

"Don't worry, madam."

Hua Ziying, who was walking in front, suddenly spoke. Shang Ruyi was shocked and looked up quickly, but saw that he did not look back. He still walked forward slowly. While walking, he said: "Our people do not have any good feelings for the court, but they are women. Our people from Wanggang Village will not make things difficult for the poor."

"oh?"

When Shang Ruyi heard this, she thought about it again and deliberately dragged her voice: "Don't you make things difficult for the little one?"

Hua Ziying seemed to hear the ridicule in her mouth, stopped and looked back at her, but saw Shang Ruyi staring at the arrow and the longbow on his back.

Hua Ziying was not stupid either. She immediately understood that she was referring to the arrow she forced her to stop last night.

So he said, "Madam, don't worry, if I dare to shoot arrows on Madam, I will be 100% sure not to hurt you."

"Yeah?"

"Mrs. Now, isn't it unscathed?"

“…”

However, no matter how many explanations are, they are not as good as the facts in front of you.

Shang Ruyi was silent for a moment, nodded and said, "Your archery skills are very good."

Hua Ziying looked at her, and the eyes of the eagle-like falcon burst into light: "I wonder, how about Mr. Yuwen, who can shoot down a 100,000 Turkic army with one arrow in Yanmen County?"

“…!”

Shang Ruyi's heart moved.

From last night, when she realized that the person who was shooting an archer in the dark was a sharpshooter, she unconsciously compared this person with Yuwen Ye. Even she would think like this, and Hua Ziying herself would inevitably think like this.

After all, being competitive is a man's instinct.

Especially when a certain skill is perfect and almost reaches its peak, you will be unable to help but compare yourself with other masters to prove that you are the peak.

Although Hua Ziying looks mature and steady, she is a man after all, and a young man.

Shang Ruyi thought for a while and said, "Do you want to compete with him?"

Hua Ziying took a deep breath, and a little expectant and even a look of urgency appeared on her handsome face, saying, "If there was this day, I would be looking forward to it."

"Do you think there will be this day?"

"If we find him, maybe this day will arrive soon."

"Finding him?"

Hearing this, Shang Ruyi's heart thrust again.

Hua Ziying turned around and continued walking forward, saying as he walked, "I think you know that your husband has disappeared, and he suddenly disappeared from the Luo River Basin with his troops."

"You went out last night to find him?"

"good."

"That--"

"His whereabouts have not been found yet."

Hua Ziying said, his pace also stagnated, and said, "But maybe, he will appear."

Shang Ruyi frowned when she heard this, but after thinking about it again, she understood and said, "Is this why you caught me? Do you think he will appear if you arrest me?"

Hua Ziying said: "Aren't you his wife?"

“…”

At this moment, Shang Ruyi didn't speak anymore.

It’s not that I have nothing to say, but that I feel it’s a bit funny in my heart.

It seems that Yu Wen Ye is so sober and plays a competent husband with appropriate benefits in front of everyone - blessings? Or, bad consequences?

Even those who have only seen them will recognize that they have a deep affection and think that as long as they catch her, Yuwen Ye will appear.

But will he appear because of himself?

Shang Ruyi didn't even want to think about the answer to this question.

But for some reason, even if I didn't think about it carefully, this question was just in front of me, and a faint pain came up in my heart, as if it was rising water, gradually submerged her. She had difficulty breathing, and subconsciously took a deep breath. At this moment, Huaziying, who was walking in front, stopped.

Shang Ruyi also stopped immediately.

When they looked up, they found that they had walked to the entrance of the most central and largest convention hall in the Cang City.

The door was open and there were several braziers inside, but because the place was too big, there were not many braziers, and the light was still not so bright. In Shang Ruyi's view, it looked like a dark cave, and I didn't know what was waiting for me inside.

Hua Ziying stopped at the door and said, "Please."

Shang Ruyi glanced at him, calmed down, raised her feet and walked in over the high threshold, and Hua Ziying behind her had already retreated without saying a word.

As soon as I walked into this convention hall, my first feeling was darkness.

Although she was standing near the gate, the sunlight outside could still shine on her, looking up, in front of the meeting hall, there was a dark place where several steps led, and she could only barely see a wide table above, sitting alone behind the table, looking at a map covering the entire table.

It was not until the sound of her footsteps that the man slowly raised his head.

Under the dim light, those already very familiar and shining pupils looked at her again.

There was even a happy smile in his eyes.

"Mrs., long time no see."

Shang Ruyi also took a deep breath and said to the eyes: "Young Master Xiao, it's been a long time since I left."
