"What's wrong?"

Lei Yu immediately turned his head and looked north along Shang Ruyi's line of sight, only to see that the grassland was vast, and the horizon in the distance, which was almost integrated with the gray sky, was empty.

She looked back at Shang Ruyi: "Nothing." ”

“……”

"What do you see?"

Shang Ruyi frowned, reached out and rubbed his eyes for a while, and muttered, "I just saw a few people." ”

"People?"

Lei Yu turned his head to look again, only to see a few grass clippings swept by the wind, whistling and flying towards the sky, on the grassland, there was still a vast expanse, and there was no human figure.

Lei Yu said: "You read it wrong. ”

“……”

"The Turkic tent is hundreds of miles away from here, and it shouldn't be so quick to send someone over; Besides, if they really had an army coming, our people would have found out a long time ago. ”

Hearing her say this, Shang Ruyi thought about it, and said with a smile: "Maybe I'm dazzled." ”

Going further along the way, they did not meet anyone, until the evening, they finally arrived at the destination, sure enough, the vast flat land with sweet water wells in Shang Ruyi's memories, and even the iron nails and wooden stakes left over from the last northern tour to set up a huge tent are still there.

So, they set up tents on the spot and soon settled down.

And at this time, the surrounding complaints have been resounding, if only those officials are still, but this time the emperor also took some officials' families with him on patrol, most of the noblewomen and ladies of the family have never lived in such a harsh place, the ground is uneven, there are often rats infested, there are no houses with carved beams and pillars, only simple tents can shelter from the wind and rain, especially the winter on the grassland comes earlier than the Central Plains, and at night, even the bed is cold without relying on the brazier.

It wasn't until late at night that the surrounding complaints gradually subsided.

However, although the sound of complaining has subsided, Shang Ruyi still can't sleep, along the way, there are too many things to worry about, even if he has been stationed now, I'm afraid the trouble is still to come.

After all, Yu Wenye has not arrived until now.

I wonder where he is now? Is it with the Crescent Princess?

What are the two of them doing at this moment?

Just thinking about this, her chest became more and more stuffy, and she simply got up and dressed, ready to go out to breathe.

But as soon as she lifted the tent, she saw Tusheer and Mu Xian sitting around the fire in front of the tent, muttering something to each other—they became familiar with each other along the way.

I only heard Tusheer complaining: "Where did your son-in-law go?" When will you come? ”

Mu Xian smiled: "What do you call our son-in-law?" Isn't it your uncle? ”

Tusheer pouted: "Whose uncle will leave his wife, the shadow can't be seen!" ”

“……”

Mu Xian seemed to be a little unreasonable, and turned his gaze away, just in time to see Shang Ruyi standing at the door of the tent, and hurriedly said, "Young lady, why are you up?" ”

Tusheer also hurriedly stepped forward, "Miss, what do you want?" ”

Shang Ruyi smiled: "I can't sleep, come out for a walk." ”

Tusher said: "It's so cold, what's there to go?" You'd better go back to your tent and sleep, don't catch a cold. ”

Shang Ruyi couldn't help but glance at her.

Mu, who was standing on the side, laughed and said, "I know, does the young lady remember the days when she went to the grassland before, couldn't sleep, and wanted to come out and revisit?" ”

Shang Ruyi glanced at Tushe'er again: "Look at you, Bai has been with me for so long." ”

Tusheer ignored her ridicule, hurriedly ran into the tent and took a blanket out and forced her to drape it, saying, "It's windy here, you should be careful of catching a cold." ”

Shang Ruyi couldn't help but laugh.

She also obediently wrapped the blanket and sat beside the fire, the heat of the flame made her feel a little cold, she finally felt a little warm, took a deep breath, and looked up again, in fact, it was so late, the scenery was long gone, but the bright galaxy above her head was like more than ten years ago, as if the time flowing in the middle was only a moment.

Mu Xian said: "Young lady, is this place the same as before?" ”

Shang Ruyi said: "What difference can it be?" ”

“……”

"It's different, it's always just people."

Seeing that even if she looked at the flames, her eyes were still a little cold, and Tusheer said softly: "Miss, do you want to be a businessman?" Don't be too upset. ”

Shang Ruyi smiled bitterly in his heart.

It has been so many years since her father passed away, and the grief that almost overwhelmed her at the beginning has long since been settled.

She just, somewhat misses him.

Feeling that his emotions were infectious, the people around him were a little depressed, Shang Ruyi stood up with a smile and said, "Okay, I'll go over there, what should you do." ”

Tusher immediately said, "I'll accompany you." ”

Shang Ruyi said: "I want to go alone, don't come with me, go to bed early." ”

"But—"

Tushe'er was still a little hesitant, and Mu Xian also persuaded: "Madam, it's so late, let's let the little one accompany you, so as not to be in danger." ”

Shang Ruyi said with a smile: "With such a large camp, there are Janissaries patrolling nearby, where is the danger." I want to be alone and quiet, don't come along. ”

Hearing her say this, the two of them couldn't say anything more, so Tusheer could only tell her to be careful again and again, and then let Shang Ruyi leave the camp alone.

As soon as I walked out, I felt a cold wind blowing, almost blowing away the blanket on my body.

Shang Ruyi hurriedly clasped his arms with both hands and wrapped the blanket tightly.

Although it was cold, the cold wind blew her mind a little more sober than before, stepping on the dead grass on the ground, accompanied by the rustling sound all the way, and unconsciously walked to the edge of the camp, where there was no time to repair the fence, only a few thick flagpoles stood on the ground, and the wind blew the flags to hunt.

Shang Ruyi slowly walked to a flagpole and leaned against it, and when he looked back, the countless bonfires in the camp were still burning, dyeing large areas of the sky above him orange.

This reminded her of what she had seen when she was a child living in a Turkic tent.

At that time, her father would even take her to the Turkic evening drinking party, saying that it was a drinking party, and there were no rules, just a group of people carrying the wine jar to drink and sing loudly.

The song drifted farther than the fire.

Unconsciously, the songs in her memory flowed out of her mouth, and she sang softly, as if she had returned to that time.

But just as she was singing to herself, there was a sudden sound of footsteps next to her.

Shang Ruyi immediately closed his mouth.

"Who?"
