Chapter 410 The Scariest Possibility
Chapter 410 The most terrifying “possibility”
Author: Leng Qingshan
As soon as these words were spoken, a gust of wind suddenly blew from nowhere.
The wind was so light that it didn't even lift a corner of the two people's thin clothes. It only caused a slight ripple in the pond next to them; but the moonlight was light and became sparkling due to the ripples.
The sparkle reflected in Yu Wenzhen's eyes, as if his eyes were also twinkling.
But his face was still as calm as ever.
Shang Ruyi still stared at him with burning eyes, holding her breath, and clenched the two hands hanging by her sides unconsciously, her palms full of cold sweat, as if she was waiting for some dangerous result.
Yu Wensu suddenly chuckled, and then said, "Have my brothers and sisters seen Xue Xian?"
"...?"
Shang Ruyi was startled and shook his head subconsciously.
Yu Wenzui smiled faintly, and then said: "Actually, I haven't seen him before, but my father once worked with him. His evaluation is - brave and invincible."
Hearing these four words, Shang Ruyi's heart sank.
Just now, her whole body was tense and she even held her breath, because Yu Wenzhen's last words made her think of some incredible, even terrifying "possibilities", so she nervously waited for the yes or no result, and even more
Waiting for something that seems to be pronounced by fate.
Unexpectedly, Yu Wenzu ignored the question lightly, and Shang Ruyi was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but before she could finish her breath, Yu Wenzu hit her heart with another heavy result.
This tightening and loosening almost made her heart unable to bear the load, causing a dull pain.
After a long silence, she whispered softly: "Be brave and invincible...?"
"good,"
Yu Wenzhen said: "Fengchen's ability - actually I don't need to say more, I believe you know it better than many people. But my father's evaluation of him only has four words: 'brave and good at fighting'."
"..."
"Xue Xian was able to occupy all the land in Longxi and conquer Fufeng in such a short period of time. Even people who are not familiar with military affairs should understand his ability. What's more, my sister, you were born in a general, and you have experienced so many hardships with Feng Chen.
I definitely know the war better than others."
"..."
"But Fengchen, he——"
Having said this, Yu Wenzhen lowered his head and looked at Shang Ruyi, who was in a trance, and said slowly: "He should have been on continuous expeditions since he was granted the title of General of the Fuxing Kingdom, and he was injured along the way, and he never had time to rest."
"..."
Shang Ruyi's breathing suddenly became heavy.
If she had only talked about Xue Xian, she might not have had any reaction, but Yu Wenzui's words suddenly touched the softest place in her heart.
In fact, before Yu Wenye was canonized as the general of the auxiliary state, he repulsed the Turkic army with one arrow in Yanmen County, and he was injured at that time; after returning to Luoyang, after receiving the news of the death of the official's wife, he was mentally and physically hurt and in pain.
When he was desperate, he was named a general and went to Xingluocang. He stayed awake for several days and even fell off a cliff and was pierced by a dead branch in the shoulder. After winning the battle, he was framed and sent to Dali Temple for questioning. Although he was rescued,
He didn't mention a word about the days he spent in Dali Temple, but Shang Ruyi knew that Wang Shaoji and Zhai Ying would not make it easy for him; and after that, he only took a short rest before heading out to Wanggang Village again.
, although he withdrew halfway, he was hit by several arrows from Hanazi Ying in order to save Queen Jiang. Before his wounds could be healed, he went south to Jiangdu Palace and fought his way through the imperial guards to save himself...
Thinking of his experiences these days, Shang Ruyi felt a chill in his heart.
No matter how powerful he is, he is only a body of flesh and blood.
It’s impossible for him not to feel tired, and it’s also impossible not to feel pain…
Seeing Shang Ruyi's face suddenly turn pale, Yu Wenzhen said calmly: "Brothers and sisters should understand that sometimes a war involves not only soldiers and horses, but also not only the art of war, but also the general."
"..."
"Although Feng Chen is young, if he continues to waste time like this, he will be dragged down sooner or later."
"..."
Shang Ruyi looked at him and was speechless for a moment.
Yu Wenzhen's eyes, expression, and even the tone of every word he spoke were heavy and sincere, exactly the same as when Yu Wenye talked about his feelings for him before.
Does he really care about Yu Wenye?
Are their brothers really so affectionate and respectful to each other...?
But this battle...
Just when Shang Ruyi was confused and confused, there was a sound of footsteps in front of him, as if someone was walking towards this side. Yu Wenxun raised his head and looked up, and then said with a smile: "These are my words.
, I hope my brothers and sisters will think about it more."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
He had just taken two steps when Shang Ruyi's voice suddenly came from behind him——
"Brother."
Yu Wenye's footsteps stopped.
Shang Ruyi stood there, her eyes flickering, but she looked at the tall and handsome figure with a solemn expression. After taking off her monk's robe, she returned to her elegant and unrestrained appearance, but in this night, countless things seemed to be hidden.
Secret. Shang Ruyi took a deep breath and said softly: "What eldest brother just said, the battle against Xue Xian will be an unprecedented fierce battle. Is it really just these two reasons?"
"..."
The broad shoulders seemed to be slightly shaken.
But Yu Wenzuo didn't look back, he only responded calmly: "What else?"
"..."
"Do my siblings think there are other reasons?"
"..."
Shang Ruyi's throat was blocked and he could not speak.
It was also because this possible "reason" was so terrifying that her heart ached just thinking about it.
Only then did she realize that although Yuwen Sui had an easy-going attitude and was gentle to others, he was a gentle yet tough person, and a very tough person. As long as he didn't want to, no one could get a word from him that he didn't want to say.
At this time, Yuwen Sui slowly turned his face sideways. The moonlight outlined his handsome face, especially his clear side profile, which seemed a bit mysterious in the night.
He said: "Speaking of which, I have just returned to Yuwen's family."
"..."
"For many things, I may not know as much as you, my brothers and sisters."
After saying that, he smiled faintly, turned around and walked away.
But Shang Ruyi stood there, watching his retreating figure, his last words echoing in his mind, and suddenly an indescribable chill arose from his aching heart.
With that bit of chill, Shang Ruyi slowly walked to the dining room.
The entire Yuwen Mansion was brightly lit tonight, and the place was even more illuminated by silver candles, which illuminated the inside and outside as if it were daytime. As soon as Shang Ruyi walked in, he saw that Yuwen Sui had already taken his seat, but he was sitting under Yu Wenyuan's left hand—
—There is where Yu Wenye used to be, and Yu Wenye has also arrived and is sitting quietly aside.
After bathing, he put on a dark blue gown, the jade-colored belt was tightly tied, and his long hair was tied behind his head. The whole person looked clean and neat, completely different from the other side of Yuwen Sui, who was dressed in green and was casual and comfortable.
.
The two people sitting on both sides of Yu Wenyuan were in sharp contrast.
As soon as he saw Shang Ruyi walking into the dining room, he immediately stood up and walked over: "Why are you here?"
Shang Ruyi forced a smile: "I just got lost."
Yu Wenye glanced at her, said nothing, and led her over to sit down. Yu Wenyuan was talking to Yu Wenzhen. When he saw Shang Ruyi coming, he also smiled and said: "This mansion is bigger than the one in Luoyang before."
Quite a bit, Ruyi, you just came here, so I'm afraid you're not familiar with it yet. Let Ye'er take you to get familiar with this place in these days. By the way, you seemed to have been in Daxing City when you were a child, right?"
Shang Ruyi nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, Dad."
Yu Wenyuan said: "Let Ye'er take you to the city to have a look. This place has changed a lot since then."
Although he smiled and spoke very kindly, Shang Ruyi's heart felt slightly heavy when he heard these words.
He asked Yu Wenye to take him to familiarize himself with this mansion, and even more with the entire Daxing City - that is to say, he did not plan to ask Yu Wenye to go on an expedition immediately in the coming days?
Just when Shang Ruyi was thinking secretly, Yu Wenye had already said: "Yes."
Shang Ruyi immediately looked back at him.
The smile on Yu Wenyuan's face deepened and he said: "Speaking of which, Cai'er hasn't returned to Daxing City for many years."
As he said that, he looked back at the eldest son beside him. The face that looked majestic and unflappable in the eyes of the world because of his high position and authority was filled with relief and love. He smiled and said, "You,
I’m finally home.”
Yu Wenzu immediately stood up, bowed to him and said: "Father, my son is unfilial. He has been wandering around for many years and failed to honor his father and fulfill his responsibilities as a son of man. It is really——"
"alright!"
Yu Wenyuan interrupted his words with a wave of his hand, pulled him to sit down again, and said with great joy: "It is the greatest filial piety that you come back!"
After saying that, he smiled and said: "I am really happy today. Serve me some wine. I want to drink happily all night long!"
At this time, Aunt Hui came up holding a jar of wine.
When he saw her, Yu Wenye's face looked quite natural, but Shang Ruyi still couldn't help but feel a little thump in his heart.
Serving wine has always been done by servants and maids at home. How could she serve wine herself at this time?
Yu Wenyuan also frowned and said: "Why, you still-" Before he could finish his words, he was stunned when he saw the wine jar in Aunt Hui's hand.
"This wine..."
Aunt Hui gently placed the wine jar on the table and said respectfully: "Does the Duke remember this wine?"
"..."
Yu Wenyuan did not speak immediately. He only looked at it carefully and then said softly: "It's Jiu Yunchun."
Aunt Hui immediately smiled and said: "The Duke of Guo still remembers it. When the eldest lady came into the palace, she brought ten jars of nine jars of spring. The Duke was generous and drank nine jars of wine on the wedding night, leaving only this jar."
"..."
"Now that the eldest son has finally come back, this jar of wine is just in line with tonight's joy."
After she finished speaking, the entire dining room suddenly became quiet.
Everyone looked at Yu Wenyuan.
And Yu Wenyuan, who was chatting and laughing just now, suddenly fell silent at this time, with a strange solemn look on his dark face.
