Thousands of peaks lie covered with white snow, and thousands of ridges are always cuiwei.

The scenery of Huangtu Ridge has hardly changed since the last battle of Xingluocang until today, like a frozen picture scroll.

The only thing that changed was the eyes looking at the painting.

Yu Wenye stood by the Luokou River with his hands behind his back. His cold and deep eyes took in everything in front of him. In fact, he looked like the person in this painting. He had won a great victory since the last time.

After returning to court and leading the army on an expedition this time, his face was still cold and his figure was still upright.

Even the uneasy mood in the army seemed to be the same as last time.

Only this time, the source of uneasiness is no longer the supervisor.

Probably because the last time the military supervisor Kou Yunliang was not only killed by him in the army, but also died in a miserable manner. This time when the troops were sent out, the powerful eunuchs were unwilling to follow him. The imperial court could only send a young eunuch named Wang Gong.

Supervising the Army. This person had a low position, was weak in temperament, and had no independent opinions. Therefore, even though he had only traveled two days after marching for five or six days, Wang Gong did not rush him.

On the contrary, some of the subordinate generals in the army could not sit still.

Because this time the troops were dispatched, the Ministry of Revenue did not directly allocate grain, but sent documents to Xingluocang, asking them to prepare grain for 20,000 horses, and wait for Yu Wenye to take away the grain directly before continuing to Wanggang.

The village is on its way.

However, when Yu Wenye arrived at Luokou Ferry, he did not continue on his way, but stopped to rest, which made everyone a little confused. In addition, he had delayed the process for several days, and several of his subordinates could no longer sit still, so they simply

When they found Wang Gong, they all said, "Master Supervisor, I'm afraid you have to take care of this matter."

"Yes, the imperial court asked us to go to clear Wanggang Village, not just to enjoy the mountains and rivers."

"No matter how great a general he is, Yu Wenye cannot ignore the laws of the imperial court."

Wang Gong was urged by them and couldn't avoid it, so he could only walk a few steps forward nervously, when he saw Yu Wenye squatting down and pouring a handful of cold water from the river on his face.

And those eyes, set off by the cold water drops, looked even colder and deeper.

For some reason, Wang Gong shuddered in his heart.

But he could only bite the bullet and walked forward, raised his hands to Yu Wenye and said with a smile: "General."

Yu Wenye slowly turned to him and said, "Master Supervisor, what's important?"

Wang Gong smiled and said: "This - it seems that Xingluocang is ahead."

"Exactly."

"General, why didn't you go directly to the city instead of staying here? You know, we have been delayed for several days before."

"Please forgive me, Lord Wang, I am just staying here to miss you."

"Miss you?"

Wang Gong was stunned for a moment, not knowing what he was missing, but Yu Wenye had already raised his hand and pointed to a wide beach on the other side of the river in front of him, saying: "I'm afraid the supervisors don't know yet, but it was right there that I cut Kou Yunliang in half with a single blow.

of."

"...!"

Wang Gong's expression suddenly changed.

Speaking of that bloody scene, Yu Wenye didn't show any emotion at all. He just sighed again and said, "Thinking about it afterwards, I still regret it a little."

Wang Gong forced a smile, but when he spoke, his voice was trembling: "Later, what do you regret?"

Yu Wenye said: "Actually, I don't have to kill him."

"..."

"After all, his sin should not be 'cut off in two'. He should be brought back to the court and punished properly so that other people in the army know what will happen to him who has disloyal intentions and goes against this general.

"

"..."

"It's just that I was so excited to kill that I forgot..."

Wang Gong's face was pale and his legs were trembling a little. Just when he didn't know how to answer these words, Yu Wenye turned back to look at him and said, "Do you mean to urge me to enter the city quickly?"

Wang Gong hurriedly waved his hands and said with a smile: "No, no, how dare I urge the general?"

The person standing in front of him at this moment seemed to be no longer a person, nor a general of the imperial court, but an evil god with bloody hands, who might even rise up to kill people at any time. Wang Gong was covered in cold sweat and was about to walk back, trembling.

But Yu Wenye said very gently: "Actually, Mr. Wang does not need to rush, as long as he waits -"

Before he finished speaking, he paused for a moment.

And Wang Gong was also stunned——

Wait? What is he waiting for?

At this moment, a burst of rapid and messy horse hoofbeats suddenly came from behind them. Everyone turned around and saw a group of people and horses galloping up from behind. The leader was none other than Yu Wenye's own bodyguard.

Follow Mu Xian.

The group of troops he led were Yuwen Ye's own soldiers. He followed them out of the city from the beginning and merged with the imperial troops to march together. However, everyone discovered that they had disappeared just a few days ago.

But they did not belong to the imperial establishment, so the supervisors and generals did not dare to ask more questions, but they did not expect that at this moment, they would appear again.

The officers and soldiers in the army all made way for them. Mu Xian and his men quickly arrived at Yu Wenye's side. As soon as he got off his horse, he immediately said to Yu Wenye: "General."

Yu Wenye said: "Have you got everything?"

Mu Xian stretched out his hand and pointed behind him: "Wine, meat, and winter clothes are all ready."

Yu Wenye nodded: "Very good."

Wang Gong looked back and realized that there were several carriages behind them, which were piled with wine, meat and winter clothes. Even the backs of their horses were loaded with a lot of such goods. He couldn't help but be surprised and said: "Big

General, this is—"

Yu Wenye smiled faintly and said: "Master Wang is laughing at you. The people guarding Xingluo Cang are the same people who followed my general to attack Xingluo Cang last time. They fought bloody and suffered a lot. Moreover, after the granary was captured,

, they have been stationed here and have not been rewarded, so this time when they came here, I decided to reward them privately. Of course, these things are paid for by the general myself and have nothing to do with the court. "

"Ah, this——"

Wang Gong smiled and said: "I see, the general is really considerate of others. He is truly a loyal minister of the imperial court."

"Don't dare."

Yu Wenye nodded humbly, and then said: "Now, we can enter the city."

So, he immediately ordered all the troops to set off for Xingluo Cang City. The soldiers in Cang City had also received the news. General Fu Guo came and immediately sent people to greet them. When he saw that he had brought these people

He was immediately grateful for the reward of wine, meat and winter cotton clothes. Except for those guarding each checkpoint, almost all the other soldiers came out to greet him.

Among them, the garrison general Yan Buhuai saw Yu Wenye, his eyes turned slightly red, and he said softly: "I didn't expect that the general would still remember us."

Yu Wenye smiled and said: "You fought for this Cangcheng with your lives. I, the general, have received the credit and cannot help but remember you."

Yan Bubad said: "But we heard that the general's battle was in vain."

Yu Wenye raised his eyebrows slightly: "How do you know?"

Yan Bubad said: "The general said that we fought for this Cangcheng with our lives, so we naturally have to pay attention to the outcome of this war. But no matter what, we can't imagine that just because we killed a general who didn't understand

, the eunuch who pushed the brothers to die, the general’s hard work in this battle, turned out to be in vain!”

"..."

"I have always been dissatisfied with the general!"

His words, although light, are very heavy.

After hearing this, Yu Wenye's face still showed no trace of joy or anger, even ups and downs. He was silent for a while, and then said calmly: "Let's not talk about this. Let's go in and divide the things. I came in a hurry this time, and I didn't prepare all the things."

.You select the important people and assign them, and you must not wrong the people who are doing the work."

This last sentence was more like a huge stone that fell heavily on the hearts of Yan Buhuai and some of the surrounding soldiers.

Everyone looked at him, stopped talking, and just retreated silently.

However, there seemed to be some faint emotions boiling throughout Cangcheng.

But amidst such boiling emotions, Yu Wenye remained calm. As he walked inside, he asked in a deep voice: "How is the situation in Dongdu City?"

Mu Xian followed him and said softly: "His Majesty the Emperor has given an order to go south to tour Jiangdu in seven days."

Yu Wenye's eyes flashed coldly.

Seven days later…

He thought for a while and then asked: "Is there any other news?"

Mu Xian hesitated for a moment and said softly: "The other thing is-"

|

At the same time, facing Wuxue's big twinkling eyes, Shang Ruyi was silent for a long time, and finally said slowly: "I also want to stay in Dongdu and wait for him to come back, but His Majesty may not give me such an opportunity."

"……oh."

Wuxue responded softly and lowered his head.

Tusheer said: "Miss, we are leaving in a few days. Should we make preparations?"

Shang Ruyi sighed and said, "But there are two things in my heart that I am worried about."

Wuxue immediately said: "Young madam, what two things are they?"

Shang Ruyi said: "One is Zhuangzi in the north of the city. My father gave it to me before he left for Taiyuan. I haven't taken a look at it for so long. If Liang Shide really wants to send troops to attack this time, I'm afraid he will pass by there.

, I thought, find a time to go over and explain."

Tusheer said: "That's true."

Wuxue asked: "Young madam, what is the other thing that worries you?"

Shang Ruyi's expression became even more gloomy than before. After being silent for a long time, he sighed softly and said, "They are my uncle and aunt..."

When he mentioned this, even Tu Sheer's expression became heavy.

Although Shang Ruyi had previously received the amnesty promised by the emperor and allowed Shen Shiyan and his wife to return to the Eastern Capital, they had no idea where the person who sent the order was now and what was going on there.

If he follows the emperor to Jiangdu this time, the news between them will be interrupted again, and it will be even more difficult for them to meet again in the future.

At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside. When I looked up, it was Chang Wan who came in with a letter. She smiled and said to Shang Ruyi: "Young madam, I just received a letter.

, it seems to be from Mr. Shen."

Mr. Shen?
