Chapter Seventy-Three: A Couple

Yu Ruoxu awkwardly got off the horse and slowly walked towards the city gate with the reins. Although Tuoba Gui has withdrawn and the border crisis has been temporarily alleviated, Yang Zhen still does not dare to be careless, and there are still guards at the gate of Bingzhou City to check one by one, but compared with before she left, the atmosphere has eased a lot.

Yu Ruoxu looked up at the three strong and powerful characters of "Bingzhou City" on the city gate, and suddenly had a sense of homesickness, as if his feet were filled with lead, and he seemed to be a little afraid to enter the city gate.

She chuckled lowly, she didn't expect herself to be so cowardly.

The black horse beside him snorted, Yu Ruoxu touched its face, and couldn't help muttering, "Were you that person's mount before?" โ€

The horse looked more docile and licked her hand, her wet eyes shining brightly.

"I don't know how he's doing." Yu Ruoxu sighed, "He helped me so much, I won't be able to pay it back even in the next life." โ€

She had some vague guesses in her heart that the fire that spread throughout the Xianbei Royal Court last night may have been set by Tuoba Yu.

The flames soared into the sky, the choking smoke, and Tuoba Yu's eyes were astonishingly bright under the firelight.

The grassland gave her too many nightmarish memories, so that she almost lost the courage to live. She wanted to forget all about it, but Tuoba Yu, a qiฤ“ he did for her...... How can you forget?

Yu Ruoxu took a deep breath, regained her grip on the reins, and followed the crowd towards the city gate.

When he was waiting in line for the guards to check, the crowd suddenly stirred, and Yu Ruoxu heard the sound of horses' hooves, and couldn't help but look up-

Liang Jin was dressed in black armor and rode out of the city gate on a war horse, beside him was Yang Yuqing, who was wearing a fiery red cloak. The speed of the two of them was not very fast, and they were still whispering something while riding a horse, Liang Jin's brows were a little frowned, and there seemed to be a little disappointed look on his face.

The moment she saw Liang Jin, Yu Ruoxu felt that her heartbeat was about to stop.

He still looks like a breezy and moonlit person, even if he is wearing armor, it does not damage his elegant and clear temperament.

Yang Yuqing seemed to be comforting him, Liang Jinmian smiled faintly and shook his head gently, as if signaling Yang Yuqing not to say any more.

Yu Ruoxu drowned in the crowd, looked at them in a daze, and felt a little sour in her heart.

What a pair...... A match made in heaven.

"Miss Yang and Shi Ziye really look like a couple." Some people watching the excitement next to him have already begun to discuss, "I heard that the two have not been married yet, I see, it won't be long before we merge with the state city, maybe there will be a happy event!" โ€œ

"Yes, yes, I heard that General Yang likes the prince of the world, this family business must be a sure thing!"

"What does that old saying come about...... Heroes and beauties, good couples! โ€œ

After a night of bumps, Yu Ruoxu felt that every bone in her body was hurting, but no amount of pain could compare to the coldness and sadness coming from her heart.

She knew in her heart that Yang Yuqing loved Liang Jin wholeheartedly, unlike herself, there were too many too heavy pasts, and Yue Zirong's death was a knot in her heart that she couldn't untie for the rest of her life, so she couldn't love him as pure as Yang Yuqing.

But now, why is she so sad?

Wasn't that the ending she had envisioned?

Liang Jin and Yang Yuqing walked in front of her, and Yu Ruoxu hid behind the crowd and watched them quietly. I saw that Liang Jin suddenly glanced in his direction, and then pulled the reins hard, and the horse stopped in pain. His eyes wandered through the crowd, gradually revealing an anxious look.

"What's wrong?" Yang Yuqing saw that he suddenly stopped and couldn't help asking.

"I seem to be ......" Liang Jin seemed to be looking for something in the crowd, Yu Ruoxu subconsciously lowered her head and walked towards the depths of the crowd.

"Let's go." Liang Jin smiled bitterly and turned the horse's head, "I just got dazzled." โ€œ

Yu Ruoxu stood in the distance, watching the two walk side by side, walking farther and farther, and couldn't help but sigh.

When she entered the city, Yu Ruoxu was still a little nervous, she remembered that Tuoba Yuan had said that Liang Jin and Yang Zhen had looked for her on a large scale in Bingzhou City, and offered a bounty of 100,000 taels of silver, if she was recognized at the city gate, she was afraid that it would cause a commotion.

However, she seems to have underestimated her current appearance, her face is still pale, there are still a few gray marks on her face, and her hair is completely scattered behind her, because the clothes inside are torn, so she is tightly wrapped in Tuoba Yu's big hat, and she looks like a wolf bรจi.

The guards at the city gate looked her up and down, didn't say anything, probably thinking that she was a refugee who had fled to Bingzhou City, so they let her in. Yu Ruoxu breathed a sigh of relief and stepped onto the familiar street.

The smoke of the war has just dissipated, and the people have always been extremely resilient, even if the homes were destroyed by the Xianbei people, after more than a month, the entire Bingzhou City returned to order. The business of the blacksmith shop is still booming, and the smell of molten iron fills the air. Food stalls have reappeared on the streets, and all kinds of cries are endless, and the atmosphere of life is stronger than that of the emergency preparation period.

Yu Ruoxu groped her way to the door of the military mansion according to her memory, just like when she first came. The dark door was closed, and it was quiet, a little deserted.

Yu Ruoxu stepped forward, grabbed the iron ring on the door and knocked, "Is anyone there?" โ€

There was a sound of rustling in the courtyard, and I saw a man in his forties in a blue cloth coat open the door, looked her up and down, and frowned with some disgust, "Are you?" โ€

Yu Ruoxu had never seen him, but it seemed that it should be Liang Jin's new housekeeper, "My name is Yu Ruoxu, and I am a guest of the prince." โ€œ

"A guest of the prince?" The butler had a suspicious look on his face, "The prince didn't tell me that there would be guests visiting today. โ€

Yu Ruoxu smiled bitterly, and a deep feeling of exhaustion suddenly welled up in her heart, "I have been living in the Shiziye's mansion before, and then I left for a while because of some things, and I came back in a hurry today, so I didn't have time to say hello to the Shiziye." โ€œ

The butler was still on guard, "Do you have any tokens?" โ€

Yu Ruoxu was stunned and shook her head helplessly, "No." โ€

"I think you just want to pretend to be an acquaintance of the prince to eat and drink." The housekeeper smiled sarcastically, and impatiently reached out and pushed her, "It's like a person asking for food, hurry up, so as not to dirty the prince's land." โ€œ

"You!" Yu Ruoxu's heart rolled with anger, "What did you say?!" โ€œ

"I told you to get out of here!" The butler turned around and slammed the door shut.

Yu Ruoxu knocked hard again unwillingly, but the door did not move, and no one answered the door after that. She was a little depressed in her heart, and she didn't have any strength in her body, so she simply sat on the steps in front of the military mansion, hugging her knees and curling into a ball to resist the chill of early spring.

She felt a little ironic that she had experienced nine deaths in her life, and she was desperately trying to escape back, but she couldn't even enter the door.

It turns out that without identity, I am nothing.

The picture of Liang Jin and Yang Yuqing's clothes flying in front of her and riding side by side appeared in front of her, she felt a little headache, so she buried her face in her knees, only to find that her fingers had frozen a little blue.

The tiredness that she had finally suppressed came back to her heart, and she sat down on the steps, staring at the road in front of her in a daze. She remembered that she once stood at the door, holding a lantern in her hand, waiting for Liang Jin to come back. Liang Jin jumped down from his horse and ran in front of her in three steps and two steps, with some reproach in his tone, "It's so cold, why did you come out?" โ€œ

She smiled and shook her head, "It's okay, I've been stuffy in the house for a day, and I want to come out to breathe." โ€

"Your hands are so cold, and you still say it's okay?" Liang Jin took the lantern in her hand and put it aside, held her hand that was blue from the cold, and sighed softly, "Remember to bring a few more hand stoves next time you come out." โ€

Yu Ruoxu was a little shy, and her face was dyed with a little flush, "Okay." โ€

The head hurt more and more, Yu Ruoxu felt that her face was a little hot, and her eyes became a little blurry. She looked up at the sky and muttered to herself, "It's time for him to come back, right?"

If he didn't come again, she was afraid that she would faint here.

It seems that after a long time, the sound of horses' hooves finally came to her ears, Yu Ruoxu had been hungry for a day, and she had no strength to stand up, so she could only look up with great effort, and before she could see who was in front of her, suddenly a flower appeared in front of her, and a black figure ran in front of her and hugged her tightly.

Yu Ruoxu could feel that this person was trembling all over, his head buried in his neck socket, and there was a hot wetness. She had never seen Liang Jin cry, and she couldn't help but panic a little, "Liang Jin? โ€

"I didn't expect it to be you." Liang Jin's voice was a little choked, "I thought I was dreaming again." โ€

"Fool." Yu Ruoxu touched his hair and smiled weakly, "I finally escaped back, how could it be a dream?" โ€

Liang Jin raised his head and looked at her carefully a few times, "Ruoxu? Are you sick? โ€

Before she could speak, his hand touched her forehead, "Why is it so hot?" How could you be sitting here on such a cold day? โ€

Yu Ruoxu was so uncomfortable that she couldn't say a word, Liang Jin was a little anxious, and picked her up and walked towards the house. Before losing consciousness, she tightly grabbed Liang Jin's neck and whispered-

I want you here.
