"I-"

At this moment, Shang Ruyi only felt like falling into an ice cave.

She suddenly realized that if she saved Shen Shiyan and his wife, she, along with all of them, would have nowhere to go.

Time is passing little by little, like the babbling river in front of us.

Shang Ruyi couldn't say a word.

She made a desperate decision to save her uncle and aunt and not let them go to Lingnan to suffer, but it was only now that she suddenly realized that even if she saved them, maybe the next few days would be endless suffering.

After all, the imperial court will not let the exiled prisoners be robbed, and once the officers and soldiers are used to arrest them, they will have no place to stand, let alone peace.

However, she couldn't help but save her uncle and aunt.

At this moment, the sense of despair that she had nowhere to go, let alone ascend to heaven, made her body cold, and even the hand holding the reins stiffened a little.

She looked around in a bit of a panic, desperately trying to find a little, even if it was just a little ethereal light, at least to give herself a little hope.

Suddenly, she saw Yu Wenye with a cold face.

By the way, his father - Yu Wenyuan!

The reason why he refused to marry Yu Wenchou, but chose to marry him, in addition to his ridiculous self-inflicted affection, isn't it Yu Wenyuan? In such troubled times, what better way to ensure the safety of yourself and your family than to be attached to such a person?

So, as long as Yu Wenyuan is still around, they won't be in danger, will they?

But the next moment, Shang Ruyi's mind unconsciously had a completely opposite thought-

Yu Wenyuan will succeed, but his success does not mean that the people around him can be completely safe.

In all dynasties, how many of those who have made meritorious contributions and even established the country and become emperors, how many of their relatives have fallen in the difficult journey before success, and have become a soul worth remembering, but after all, they can only be missed?

She must choose the right choice at every step in order to cling to his final success and save herself and her family.

And now, Sheng Guogong is obviously not to the point where he can fight against the imperial court with his own strength, or even the whole world, at this moment he is supervising the transportation of grain and grass in Liaoxi, if they really commit the crime of robbing prisoners in Luoyang, even if Sheng Guogong is not implicated, but if they are caught, it will be difficult to escape death.

At that time, wouldn't Shen Shiyan and Yu Shi be affected by themselves?

At this moment, Shang Ruyi's thoughts were like a mess, and with her disordered breathing, there was almost a thought in a moment, and every thought entangled her heart, making her thoughts even more chaotic.

Just as she was struggling, there was footsteps ahead.

I saw Mu Xian running back quickly, standing in front of Yu Wenye's horse and arching his hand: "Childe." ”

Na Mu said first: "Hui Gongzi, his subordinates have heard clearly. There were only three horses in the manger of the Zhanping River Station, and there should only be three officials escorting Lord Shen and his wife; And the number of personnel in the post station is no more than four. ”

Yu Wenye said: "In other words, with the addition of Lord Shen and his wife, there are less than ten people. ”

"Yes."

"Okay, you get on the horse."

Mu first received the order and immediately turned over on his horse.

The air around him tightened a little.

Everyone knows that the official who escorts the exiled prisoners cannot be a person who can recruit good soldiers, and the post keepers of a small post station are only afraid that they are even more old, weak, sick and disabled, and more than a dozen people in their line, except for Shang Ruyi, are all strong in martial arts, and it is really effortless to rob the Shen couple from such a group of people.

I saw Yu Wenye's eyes were cold, and he looked at Shang Ruyi: "You, have you decided?" ”

“……”

"What we have to decide now is not whether to move or not, but to get out of that station, which direction we are going to go."

“……”

Shang Ruyi only felt like an ant crawling in her heart, and that restless emotion made her unable to think calmly, she said in a low voice: "You, what do you think?" ”

Yu Wenye said coldly: "This matter is decided by you, and moreover, it is also exchanged between you and me." ”

“……”

"Then you should make the next arrangements yourself."

Speaking of this, his gaze became a little colder: "The result should also be borne by you." ”

Shang Ruyi bit her lower lip and couldn't say a word. Yu Wenye's words did not give her the confidence to make a decision at all, but seemed to push her into a desperate situation step by step.

At this moment, Mu Xian suddenly said again: "Son, young lady, there is one more thing, my subordinates want to report it." ”

Both immediately looked up at him.

Yu Wenye said: "What's the matter?" ”

Mu Xian said: "When my subordinates approached the post station just now to investigate, they found that the shackles on Lord Shen's body seemed to have been taken off. ”

“……？”

As soon as he heard this, Yu Wenye, who had always been calm and self-controlled, also flickered.

Shang Ruyi immediately said, "Really? ”

Mu Xian nodded and said, "Not only have the shackles been removed, but the subordinates have also seen that the three escorted officials seem to be sitting with Lord Shen and his wife for dinner, and they are talking happily......"

Shang Ruyi took a deep breath.

Although she had not had the experience of exile of her family before, she still understood some of the rules of the imperial court. If some serious offenders are exiled, not only will they have to wear shackles all the way, and their hands, feet, and necks will be ground to a bloody pulp, but some officials will also torture the prisoners and take the opportunity to extort money, and some prisoners will not even live to the place of exile; And some petty offenders are exiled, although they need to carry shackles when they travel during the day, but at night, when they rest, a kind official may unshackle them, and even a little more relaxed attitude can make their lives better.

If you say, Shen Shiyan not only took the shackles, but also sat down with the escort officer to eat......

Aren't they being abused?

If that's the case—

She slowly raised her head to look at Yu Wenye, who had a complicated expression, and hesitated: "Yu-second brother, I-"

Before she finished her words, she saw Yu Wenye suddenly raise her hand: "Don't speak!" ”

“……？”

Shang Ruyi was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously closed his mouth, but saw that Yu Wenye neither spoke nor made any movements, only frowned, as if he was listening to something carefully.

But there was nothing in my ears except for the increasingly rapid sound of the wind and the sound of rushing water in the distance.

Shang Ruyi wanted to ask something more, but it was not easy to open casually.

But only a moment later, I heard Yu Wenye say in a deep voice: "Someone is coming." ”

As soon as they heard this, everyone became nervous, and hurriedly looked around, but the surrounding night was so dark that they could barely see their fingers, where could they see half a figure?

Shang Ruyi subconsciously lowered his voice and said, "Where is there anyone?" ”

I saw Yu Wenye's eyes like torches, and he looked sharply at the post station in the distance where only a little light and shadow were flickering, and suddenly said: "Someone, enter that post station!" ”
