The Turks are a nomadic people living in the vast steppes of the north, and their people are fierce in nature, brave and good at fighting, often go south to cross the Great Wall to harass the border passes, plunder property, and even approach the capital Daxing several times, which has always been a sharp sword hanging over the head of the Daye Dynasty.

However, this situation took a turn for the better more than 20 years ago.

At that time, Shang Ruohong, who was then the general of the Hussars of Zuoxunwei, sent an envoy to the Turks, coinciding with the change of royal power within the Turks, and the fierce and brutal Turkic Zuo Emperor Ashina Chali was preparing to ascend the throne.

Shang Ruohong seized the opportunity to contact the princess of Qiancheng, who was married to the Turks and relatives, to create chaos within the Turks, and at the same time supported the eldest son of the princess of Qiancheng, Ashinatong ascended the throne.

However, this is only relatively.

Even if it was divided, the Western Turks still posed a threat to the Daye Dynasty that could not be ignored, especially after Ashina Sha Li quelled the internal rebellion and re-targeted the spearhead to the south, and there were often wars on the frontier.

Therefore, the emperor's trip to northern Xinjiang this time, in the eyes of many people, was not a simple tour.

I'm just afraid—

|

Things are just as Yu Wenye guessed.

Two days later, the imperial court issued a decree that His Majesty the Emperor would patrol the northern frontier, and in addition to the civil and military officials above the fourth rank, he also hand-picked the families of several military generals who had gone to Liaoxi to prepare for war at this time.

Among them, the first column is Sheng Guogong's son and daughter-in-law.

Shang Ruyi and Yu Wenye sent Yu Wencheng to the academy to worship the teacher, and as soon as she returned home, she received the order to leave early the next morning, fortunately, she listened to Yu Wenye's words and began to pack her luggage two days in advance, but she was not flustered.

But the family is still very worried.

Aunt Hui also said worriedly at this time: "Do you want to repair the book and tell the prince and the lady?" ”

Yu Wenye sat in the lobby to discuss this matter with his family, and immediately said after thinking about it: "My father is supervising the transportation of grain and grass on the front line, so he can't be distracted; Now that winter is about to enter in Liaoxi, my mother is weak and cold, and she can't be disturbed, so don't tell them these things. ”

Aunt Hui said: "Then this trip to the northern frontier-"

Yu Wenye said: "Since it is for me and Ruyi to accompany me, naturally I can't slack off." Aunt Hui, you have to worry about the affairs of the family. ”

Aunt Hui smiled: "This is the duty of the old body. ”

As she spoke, she looked up at Shang Ruyi again, smiled and said, "What else does the young lady have to explain?" ”

Shang Ruyi was sitting beside Yu Wenye, and when he heard this, he shook his head and said, "It's nothing, Aunt Hui is more familiar with the affairs of the family than me, and everything will bother Aunt Hui." ”

Aunt Hui also smiled and nodded.

Yu Wenye turned his head to Yu Wencheng, who was already unstable, and said: "We are not at home, you have to study hard, you also saw that I took you to that academy today, the students there are all children of ordinary families, no one accompanies you to fight cocks and lackeys, if you are like when you were in Taiyuan, then don't blame me for coming back to blame you!" ”

Yu Wencheng said impatiently: "Second brother, I know." ”

Aunt Hui also smiled on the side: "Don't worry, the second son, the third son is already sensible." ”

So, Yu Wenye got up and said to Shang Ruyi: "Let's go, rest early, and we will leave early tomorrow morning." ”

"Hmm."

On this night, everyone spent their own anxiety and apprehension.

Early the next morning, everyone got up early, and after breakfast, they were ready to leave, Shang Ruyi walked to the door, and saw that there was only a carriage parked outside the gate, as well as a few people under Mu Xian, and a few horses.

Although this time he was going to Northern Xinjiang, because he was driving with the saint, every entourage had to streamline the people around him, Yuwenye only brought Mu Xian and a few of his subordinates, and Shang Ruyi only took Tu Sheer alone, and even Wo Xue stayed at home.

Standing at the gate, Shang Ruyi explained to Wo Xue again, asking her to listen to Aunt Hui's words more and not to cause trouble, Wo Xue listened to them one by one.

Tusher put the packed luggage on the carriage.

Yu Wenye originally wanted to tell Yu Wencheng a few more words, but when he looked back, he didn't know where the child had gone, so he could only sigh and say to Aunt Hui: "Aunt Hui has to worry about the affairs of the family." ”

Aunt Hui smiled: "Second son, please rest assured. ”

After explaining some things, the two walked to the carriage.

Someone had already moved a small stool to put it in front of the car, Shang Ruyi had just stepped on it, a hand reached over to help her, and when she looked back, it was Yu Wenye standing in her hand, and her warm hand was grabbing her fingertips.

The warmth, on a somewhat cold morning, immediately dispelled most of the chill on people's bodies.

As if sensing Shang Ruyi's gaze, he also raised his head to look at her.

The eyes of the two people met, but they did not immediately avoid each other's gazes, but stayed in each other's eyes, and after a while, Yu Wenye said softly: "Be careful." ”

Shang Ruyi nodded lightly: "Hmm." ”

Regardless of whether it is a transaction between them, or what kind of disagreement has arisen, at this time, it seems that the only thing they can rely on is each other.

Soon, with his support, Shang Ruyi got into the car and sat in the carriage.

Just as Yu Wenye was about to board the carriage, suddenly, there was a sound of horses' hooves in front of him, which suddenly shattered the silence on this long street.

For some reason, Shang Ruyi subconsciously felt that the sound of horses' hooves was a little harsh.

She opened the curtain and looked in, only to see a familiar little eunuch riding over, Kankan stopped in front of their carriage, then turned over and dismounted and walked in front of Yu Wenye and bowed: "Second son." ”

It was the little eunuch sent by Princess Xinyue that day to invite Yu Wenye into the palace.

As soon as he saw him, Shang Ruyi's heart suddenly sank.

Yu Wenye asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The little eunuch said softly: "Your Highness has something to do, and I want to ask the second prince to come over and say a few words." ”

"I want to travel with Your Majesty, and I can't delay the hour."

"Don't worry, Childe, this time I will visit the northern frontier, and His Royal Highness will also accompany him."

"Oh......"

Hearing these words, Yu Wenye looked up again, facing Shangshang Ruyi's somewhat dark eyes. He thought for a moment and said, "You go to the gate of the city first to meet the holy driver, and I will be there immediately." ”

“……”

Shang Ruyi immediately smiled and said, "Okay." ”

So, the group left Yuwen Mansion first and went to the north gate.

When the carriage staggered forward, Shang Ruyi couldn't help but lift the curtain and look back, only to see Yu Wenye turn over and get on the horse, and soon went to another road.

She smiled faintly and lowered the curtain.
