Chapter 223 This person is never hers

In the evening, Xiao Yuansui left with his people.

Shang Ruyi stood at the highest point of Cang City, at the gate of the already somewhat empty meeting hall, watching those people slowly exit Cang City, and their figures followed the winding mountain road and gradually disappeared into the heavy snow.

The cold wind was biting, and the thick smell of blood lingered around the Cangcheng. The deep cold almost froze the blood of everyone here. Although until now, she had not been injured at all, she didn't know

Why, my whole body was extremely weak, as if I was about to collapse into the bloody gas that was almost condensing into shape in the next moment.

Just when she was shaky and hurriedly stretched out her hand to hold on to the door frame to steady herself, she heard the rapid footsteps and shouts of the people around her. After a while, a group of people came over.

It was Yu Wenye who led the people to clean up the city.

Although the people in the brigade have left, there are inevitably some fish that slipped through the net hiding in the dark. Yu Wenye cleared all these people out, and had people immediately clean the various passes, carry away the bodies, and then have people immediately re-count them.

granary and blocked all exits.

Finally, he took Mu Xian and several generals back to the lobby, and said as he walked: "Let people prepare horses at the foot of the mountain, and we will return to the city immediately."

Mu Xian said: "Yes."

He turned around and went down, and the several generals also took orders and led their men down to guard the granary again.

After explaining all this, Yu Wenye happened to walk to the gate.

Before, he only wore a thin single coat, obviously for the convenience of movement. Now that the crisis in the city has been temporarily lifted, he no longer has to suffer from the cold, so he put on a heavy fur coat; although it is a fur coat, it is very durable.

It was simple, without any decoration, and the color was dark blue to black, but because it was worn on him, it actually exuded a different kind of nobility in its simplicity.

When Shang Ruyi saw it, he couldn't take his eyes away.

But when she raised her head again and met Yuwen Ye's gaze, she immediately looked away.

Because as soon as he saw her, Yu Wenye's face immediately darkened, and his stern gaze scraped across her face like a knife.

Shang Ruyi trembled involuntarily.

She suddenly remembered that the way Yu Wenye was so angry at her before, as if he wanted to tear her into pieces, still made her feel frightened. Moreover, what he said before - "I'll settle the score with you later", I don't know.

Now, does it count as his "lateness"?

However, Shang Ruyi still decided to strike first. As the saying goes, you can't reach out and hit the smiling person!

So, she took the initiative to step forward and said softly: "Are you about to leave?"

It seemed that he did not expect that she would take the initiative to speak, but Yu Wenye just narrowed his eyes and glanced at her, and understood that she was taking the initiative to show weakness, but he did not get angry again, and only said coldly: "What?

Are you reluctant to leave?"

"No, I just think - you must be working hard these days running back and forth, don't you want to take a break?"

"..."

"There are still injuries on your back. Does it hurt?"

"..."

Knowing that she said these caring words on purpose and said them so gently, Yu Wenye's heart still couldn't help but soften a little.

His expression also softened.

He looked at her seriously for a while, the look in his eyes was tangled for a while, and finally sighed and said: "It's okay."

"That--"

"But we can't stay any longer."

"Why?"

"I have been defeated three times in three battles. Although it is a temporary measure, if it really counts, it will be enough to kill someone. If I don't return to the Eastern Capital to report the results of the battle as soon as possible, I'm afraid-"

At this point, Shang Ruyi suddenly realized.

Yes, Chu Yang had already had murderous intentions towards Yu Wenye before, and even spoke in front of her. Although she took the risk to speak out and gained an opportunity with Yu Wenye, this time, Yu Wenye appeared again.

"Defection" news, I'm afraid Kou Yunliang has already reported this crime back to Dongdu. If they go back a moment later, the Yuwen family will be in disaster!

They really need to get back as soon as possible!

Yu Wenye frowned again and said, "Why are you here?"

Speaking of this, Shang Ruyi hurriedly said: "I got news that someone is going to harm you. I was worried that you wouldn't be careful, so I came here."

Yu Wenye raised his eyebrows.

Shang Ruyi quickly told him the secret letter he had received and the contents of the letter. Yu Wenye frowned and thought for a long time before saying, "Do you know who sent it?"

Shang Ruyi shook his head.

Yu Wenye thought for a while and thought: "Let's investigate this matter carefully when we go back."

As he said that, he frowned and looked at Shang Ruyi and said, "So, with just such a letter, you're going to risk your life?!"

Shang Ruyi said confidently: "But, someone wants to harm you."

"..."

"How could I ignore it?"

Yu Wenye was stunned for a moment.

He was silent for a long time, but also held it in for a long time. His expression changed several times, and finally he took a deep breath, turned around and walked out, saying as he walked: "Follow me!"

"Huh? Oh."

Shang Ruyi didn't know why he suddenly changed his face again, but he followed him immediately.

Yu Wenye led more than 10,000 people in two groups to implement the plan to attack Xingluocang. Now, the number of people has hardly decreased. He left more than 10,000 people to continue to guard Cangcheng, and gave them repeated orders to strictly enforce

The guards must not be taken down as easily as last time, otherwise, the emperor will definitely kill all of them.

And he only brought a team of a few hundred people back.

Although it was getting late, the snow kept falling, and people were shivering with cold, as Shang Ruyi walked, she also explained to Yu Wenye everything she encountered when she came to Luokou Ferry. Especially when it came to that night, she

When he almost died in Kou Yunliang's hands, Yu Wenye's face could be seen to be frighteningly gloomy even under the dark sky.

But, he didn't say a word.

Shang Ruyi asked: "You said that Kou Yunliang not only suppressed your food and grass, but also forced you to send troops several times even though he knew that the road could not be attacked. This is forcing you to die. Therefore, in that painting

Is he the person he said was going to harm you?"

"Maybe."

"But, he is a supervisor, sent by the emperor. Since the emperor asked you to attack Xingluocang, it is to get back Xingluocang. If he harms you again, wouldn't it mean that he is ignoring the ownership of Xingluocang?"

Yu Wenye glanced at her and said coldly: "You do know how to speak for the emperor."

Shang Ruyi was startled and immediately said: "I didn't -"

But before her explanation could come out, she was interrupted by Yu Wenye. With a cold "I don't want to hear it" expression, he said: "However, this also proves that although Kou Yunliang is a supervisor sent by the emperor, he

Maybe, I also take orders from someone else."

"Um?"

Shang Ruyi looked at him with wide eyes.

Yu Wenye glanced at her and said, "Maybe it has something to do with the painting you received."

"..."

Shang Ruyi took a deep breath and followed him forward while thinking carefully. However, the snowy road was slippery, and she almost slipped off the icy mountain road when she was distracted. Fortunately, Yu Wenye had quick eyes and quick hands to hold her back.

live.

He frowned and said, "Can you be more careful!"

Shang Ruyi's heart skipped a beat, especially when she felt the body heat coming from his hands. Her hands and feet were so cold that she suddenly fell in love with him.

But when Yu Wenye looked at her slightly red face, he didn't immediately retract his hand.

Just looked down at her: "Cold?"

"..."

Shang Ruyi was silent for a while and nodded gently.

The clothes Xiao Yuansui had been prepared for her were fine for wearing in the city, but as soon as she left the city, the wind and snow came, and her hands and feet were immediately cold from the cold. It was fine when she was not touched by him, but as soon as she touched his

When my body temperature increased, I immediately felt that my whole body was about to freeze.

At this time, a pair of hands came up and wrapped her completely in his arms.

Shang Ruyi was stunned and looked up at him, only to see Yu Wenye looking ahead coldly, as if he didn't even bother to look at her, and said: "I'll settle the score with you when I get back!"

"..."

Shang Ruyi lowered his head and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

It seems that there is still a lot for him to calculate with himself.

But at this time, she made some things clear.

So, while nestling in his arms and following his footsteps, he said softly: "What you just meant is that there is someone else who really wants to harm you, and Kou Yunliang may be related to this person; and send that person

The person who painted the painting must have been someone close to that person, who discovered the secret and passed the news to me."

Yu Wenye said: "At least it seems more reasonable."

Shang Ruyi said lightly: "I thought of someone."

Yu Wenye's breathing seemed to be stagnant for a moment, but he did not look down at her, nor did he stop. He just walked forward calmly and said, "There is no need to say it."

"Um."

At this time, the two people actually had a tacit understanding, and this tacit understanding gave Shang Ruyi an indescribable feeling in his heart, as if he knew that his body was warm and his hands were also warm, but that kind of warmth

It seems very far away, but it is just a bunch of firelight far away in the horizon on a snowy night.

This person so close...has never been hers.

With this thought, her heart became confused.

When his heart was confused, his steps became chaotic. Yu Wenye clearly felt that something was wrong with the little girl in his arms. He couldn't help but lower his head, looking at her overly pale little face that was almost buried in his arms, and said in a deep voice.

Said: "What's wrong?"

When they said this, they happened to pass by the mountain gate.

This place is the only way to leave Xingluocang and go down to Huangtu Ridge. There are cliffs on one side and towering mountain walls on the other. The narrow path makes everyone inevitably gather together, and the sky is getting dark. The team

In order to avoid accidents, the people inside also lit torches. In the light of the fire, Yu Wenye's figure was the tallest and most conspicuous.

When passing by the narrow mountain road, the firelight cast the figures of the people around on the mountain wall, creating dark and ghostly shadows, which looked particularly scary.

Yu Wenye suddenly frowned: "Put out the fire!"

The people around were a little stunned. The mountain road here was rugged. If the fire was put out, wouldn't they have to go down the mountain in the dark?

Everyone hesitated, Shang Ruyi also raised his head from his arms and whispered: "We——"

But before he finished speaking, on the other side of the narrow mountain gate, a sudden cold light like lightning came directly, stirring up a gust of cold wind and almost extinguishing the torches. When the flames ignited again, everyone turned around and

Look, I was shocked!

Yu Wenye's chest was hit by an arrow!
