“……”

Yu Wenye's face gradually sank, and he said lightly: "It's nothing, you heard it wrong." ”

After speaking, he turned around and commanded everyone: "Go back to the city!" ”

After a while, Yu Wenye and Shang Ruyi sat in the carriage, and the rest of the people lined up to escort the carriage and went to Luoyang City not far away.

In the past two days, he spent most of the time on horseback, and finally sat and rested for a while, but Shang Ruyi sat in the carriage, but his body was more stiff than when he was riding on horseback.

Because, this carriage is not big, and two people sit in it, almost rubbing shoulders and elbows to elbows.

But she - because she fell asleep last night and was unconscious, it was nothing to be carried to bed by Yu Wenye, and now when she is awake, she really doesn't want to have any skin-to-skin contact with him.

It's just that sitting so quietly and stiffly, the atmosphere in the small carriage is inevitably a little awkward.

After thinking about it for a while, Shang Ruyi opened her mouth first, and also asked a question that had been faintly floating in her heart this night-

"You knew this was going to be the end, didn't you?"

“……”

The people around him didn't move, but Shang Ruyi felt that his eyelashes seemed to be fanning.

She turned her head to look at Yu Wenye, who had a calm face, and asked again: "This result was what you expected from the beginning, right?" ”

Yu Wenye looked down at her at this time: "I didn't expect it." ”

"That's—"

"I can only let this matter end with this result."

Shang Ruyi frowned, and said, "Then, why do you want to take so many people with me on this trip?" ”

After asking this, she smiled herself.

What else could it be? At that time, he had already put all the conditions of the transaction in front of him, what else could he do for it?

So he said, "Forget it, when I didn't ask." ”

Looking at her smile, Yu Wenye's brows also frowned, and he said coldly: "Do you think you are very smart?" ”

There is obviously some provocation in these words, but Shang Ruyi can't refute it, after all, since yesterday, when he learned the news of his uncle's exile, all his performances are not smart.

She smiled bitterly, "You don't need to be so sarcastic about me, I know I'm not smart." It's just that I'm a human being, a human being, who can not be controlled by emotions? Could it be that the most important loved ones to you are in distress, and you can remain indifferent? ”

“……”

Yu Wenye looked at her for a while, and that gaze was still that of a fool.

After a while, he turned his head and said lightly: "If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have to take a team of people to run so far with you in the middle of the night." ”

Shang Ruyi said seriously: "No matter what, I still have to thank you." ”

"Oh?"

"At least, let me meet my uncle and aunt, and besides, meet my brother."

Speaking of Shen Wuzheng, Shang Ruyi's face smiled a little deeper, this trip, what made her happiest was to see the eldest brother, although the two of them only met in a hurry, but knowing that he was all safe, and he took care of the Shen couple along the way, she could rest assured.

Looking at the smile that was almost overflowing from the corners of her eyebrows, Yu Wenye's brows twisted again.

Just then, the carriage stopped.

Yu Wenye was about to say something, but he was also taken back by the shock, and he heard a sound of talking outside, and it was the soldiers guarding the city who stopped them.

"Stop!"

Mu Xian, who was sitting at the front of the car, immediately said, "What are you doing?" ”

Yu Wenye twisted the curtain and lifted a corner, looked out, and saw a team of soldiers defending the city standing in front, one of the captains standing in front of the carriage: "The city is already under martial law, and now if you want to enter and exit the city gate, you need to provide correspondence documents, if not, you can't enter the city again!" ”

"Martial law?"

When they heard these two words, everyone was shocked.

No wonder they stood on the side of the road for so long just now, and hardly saw any pedestrians, it turned out that Luoyang City was already under martial law.

Yu Wenye immediately stretched out his hand and lifted the curtain and looked at the soldier: "Why martial law?" ”

Those soldiers guarding the city all recognized him, and when they saw the second son of Sheng Guogong, they were shocked, and hurriedly said: "Yuwen Gongzi - you, why are you outside the city?" ”

Yu Wenye said lightly: "I don't have to explain my whereabouts to you." ”

The soldiers looked at each other, and their faces sank.

The leading soldier said: "Hehe, this, I'm afraid I need your Yuwen Gongzi to explain." Gongzi was just ordered to return to Luoyang a few days ago, and he went outside the city for no reason, could it be that there is something secret? ”

Hearing this, Shang Ruyi, who had been sitting in the carriage silently, also frowned.

This time, the emperor recalled all the families of the generals sent to Liaoxi to the eastern capital, just to control them, and he would definitely monitor the whereabouts of these people.

Sure enough, Yu Wenye's face sank.

He thought for a moment and said, "I took my people out of the city to hunt. ”

The soldier said, "Hunting? Where is the prey? ”

Yu Wenye glanced at Mu Xian, Mu Xian immediately turned over and jumped out of the car, walked to the back of the carriage and opened the curtain, it turned out that there was a small partition behind the carriage, on which were stacked a deer, seven or eight hares and two golden pheasants.

It turned out that although they chased after the Shen couple yesterday, Yu Wenye specially explained that the two attendants who stayed outside the city to guard the carriage hunted some things overnight, although it may not be useful, but just in case.

Unexpectedly, it was used at the moment.

The soldier glanced at the people around him, and said, "So many people hunted these things?" ”

Mu Xian said coldly: "Or, Your Excellency, go and open my eyes?" ”

The soldier was blocked by his words, but he couldn't say anything, but said: "Please forgive me, although you are out of the city to hunt, but now the order given to us from above is that no one can enter without paperwork, and no one can go out." Please also forgive Yuwen Gongzi. ”

When they heard this, their faces were filled with anger.

They just went out of the city to hunt, where did they get the paperwork? In this way, wouldn't they have no way out?

Mu Xian immediately became angry, and grabbed the soldier's collar and grabbed him: "You're looking for a beating, right?" ”

As soon as he made a move, the soldiers around him were also anxious, and they were about to draw their swords and rush over, and the people under Yu Wenye had to do it wherever they were so angry.

Seeing that the two sides were about to fight, suddenly, a voice that was neither high nor low, with a sweet and coquettish voice floated in-

"Stop, y'all."

As soon as he heard this voice, no one else reacted, but Shang Ruyi, who was sitting in the carriage, stiffened all over his body, and the two hands on his knees immediately grasped the corners of his clothes spasmodically.

The voice is—
