Shang Ruyi hesitated for a while, and said softly: "Miss Lei once told me before leaving Luoyang that the ownership of Xingluocang is very important, if you can recapture Xingluocang, the imperial court will have the possibility of continuing in the Eastern Capital."

「……」

"But—"

Speaking of this, she paused herself, the slow entanglement in her eyes had almost spread to the air, and even the snowflakes that fell leisurely were shattered and messy by the wind, turning into powder and scattered all over the ground in the sight of the two.

Yu Wenye's condensed gaze looked at her fixedly: "So, you want me—"

"But,"

Shang Ruyi looked up at him again and said softly, "If you lose, someone won't let you go."

The corners of Yu Wenye's eyes twitched slightly, and his eyes immediately calmed down again.

In fact, until now, he didn't ask clearly, she was introduced into the palace by Empress Jiang yesterday, who she met, what happened, why she cried when she saw herself in Xuanrenmen, although later, she gave herself the brocade box containing the prescription, but now that she thinks back, what she met in Ziwei Palace yesterday was definitely not only Princess Xinyue, but also not just the love affair between men and women.

At this moment, the eyes of the two people met, as if there were a thousand words in an instant.

But the whole long street was so quiet that only the sound of the wind was whistling, and the team of hundreds of people did not have a single wheezing cough, and it was terrifyingly quiet.

I don't know how long I was silent, Yu Wenye suddenly said, "What about you?"

Shang Ruyi said, "Me?"

Yu Wenye looked into her eyes and said for a moment, "Do you want me to lose, or win?"

「……」

Shang Ruyi looked up at him, more snowflakes flew on her face, and even some broken snow fell into her eyes, the kind of cold stinging pain was like the other party's gaze, at this moment, coldly forcing her.

Shang Ruyi's breath was suffocated, and for a while, he was speechless.

Yu Wenye's brows slowly frowned, and a Sichuan character twisted out of his eyebrows.

He said, "Is it that hard to answer?"

「……」

"Or are you no longer able to tell what you want? If you don't calculate, you don't know what you really want."

「……」

Shang Ruyi bit her lower lip and said softly, "I, I hope you come back safely."

「……！」

Yu Wenye was stunned.

At the same time, the pair of slender little hands on the back of her hand had already let go, and she saw Shang Ruyi slowly take a step back, and a flush appeared more clearly on her little face, which was originally a little red by the wind, and gradually, almost overshadowed her original complexion.

But just as she took a step back, the hands that had been released were caught back.

Shang Ruyi's heart jumped, and when she looked up, it was Yu Wenye who half leaned down, grabbed her hands, and held them slightly hard, a pair of originally cold eyes were a little hotter at the moment, and even stared at her eyes a little hotter.

He said, "Is this true?"

「……」

Shang Ruyi was caught by his hands and couldn't break free, and this question was more like being forced to ask.

He got closer and closer, almost falling off the horse's back, Shang Ruyi didn't dare to retreat again, nor did he dare to pull his hands back, so he could only stand in front of him reluctantly, let him lean down, look into his eyes, and said, "This is what you want?" ….

「……」

Obviously, the cold wind pierced unimpeded on this long street like an arrow, blowing through everyone's face like a knife, but at this time, Shang Ruyi's face was more like being burned by fire.

Not only was her face hot, her ears hot, and her hands clenched in those thick palms, more like they were being roasted by charcoals.

Even the whole body was so hot from this warm tropics.

She didn't dare to look up at him, only nodded lightly and said "um" in an almost inaudible voice.

With just this sound, the layer of ice on Yu Wenye's face was frozen

It seemed to be gradually dissolved, but before anyone could see his expression after the cold dissolution, he had already straightened up and let go of Shang Ruyi's hand.

Shang Ruyi was pardoned, and took several steps back one after another.

I wanted to look up at Yu Wenye again, but he sat high on the back of the horse, leaning over to look at her, the backlit posture made it impossible to see the expression on his face, and I only heard him say coldly, "You go back."

Shang Ruyi's heart suddenly emptied.

"Oh......"

Just as she silently took a step back, she heard Yu Wenye say again, "Go back and change your shoes."

「……！」

Shang Ruyi's heart jumped, and he looked up at him again, but saw that Yu Wenye had already turned his head to look straight ahead, and waved his hand: "Let's go!"

Suddenly, he galloped away, leaving only a sudden sound of wind raising the corners of Shang Ruyi's clothes.

An oversized, luxurious pair of silk shoes peeked out from under the corners of her clothes.

Shang Ruyi suddenly understood what was coming.

She took another step forward and wanted to say something, but Yu Wenye's figure had already disappeared into the wind and snow, and the other soldiers immediately rode their horses to follow, and soon, the cold wind was disturbed, and only the snowflakes that kept flying in front of her were scattered, and there was no afterimage.

Ziwei Palace, inside the main hall.

Although there is a snowy scene outside, the snow is falling one after another, and the palace people who come and go to do things within the palace walls are shivering one by one, but in this warm dock, it is as warm as spring, and there are even a few bright colors blooming exclusively in spring, which makes people feel like they are in three springs.

And in such a warm and warm mood, Chu Yang was wearing a thin robe, floating like a fairy, leaning on the huge couch, and the clouds on his side were colorful and luxurious brocade quilts, clustered together like a huge peony, and he was lying idly in the peony stamens, and there was a snow-white Persian cat at his feet, caressing his ankles with his fluffy tail, and the comfortable feeling made him squint his slender phoenix eyes slightly, and he was almost about to fall asleep.

However, he didn't really fall asleep.

Because on the other side of the screen, Wang Shaoji reported everything that happened in the eastern capital today.

And the most important thing is naturally that Yu Wenye, who led the 20,000 troops of the imperial court to prepare to conquer Xingluocang, has already left the city and set off.

Chu Yang squinted his eyes and said lazily, "He, is he walking so neatly?"

Wang Shao, who was standing in front of the screen, was stunned.

He subconsciously raised his head and wanted to take a look inside, but the translucent screen could only allow him to barely see the figure inside, but he couldn't see the unpredictable expression on the face of the Son of Heaven, let alone the true mind of the Son of Heaven. Wang Shaoji hesitated for a moment and chuckled, "Yes, he walked neatly." ….

"So, can he win this battle?"

「……」

There was a strange silence in the warm dock, especially the sound of gurgling water under the floor, which made the tranquility of this moment a little weird.

After a while, Wang Shaoji chuckled lightly and said, "Other generals go out to fight, depending on the time and place, but this Yu Wenye goes out to fight, and it depends on his heart."

"Does his heart have anything to do with winning or losing this battle?"

Wang Shaoji sneered and stepped forward, respectful, but his face was full of coldness, and he said quietly: "How loyal he is to the emperor, how fast this battle can be won."

「……」

"On the other hand, if he has a different heart for the emperor—"

Chu Yang suddenly opened his eyes.

Although he did nothing but open his eyes, the Persian cat that had been lying at his feet was suddenly frightened, jumped off the couch with its fur on end, jumped into the corner and disappeared.

"How?"

"Then this battle is going to be hard to win."

Chu Yang's handsome face was still cold, and he was silent for a long time, and he said slowly: "I have already trusted them so much, and treated them so favorably, if Yu Wenye still has different intentions and can't be loyal to the imperial court, then—heaven and earth can't tolerate him."

Wang Shaoji lowered his head and arched his hand: "

Heaven and earth do not tolerate it, it is the business of heaven and earth."

「……」

"But Your Majesty, as the Son of Heaven, must not be plotted by the rebellious ministers and thieves with ill intentions, otherwise, how can the country and society continue?"

Chu Yang narrowed his eyes slightly: "What do you mean by this?"

Wang Shaoji took another step forward, and his voice had almost reached Chu Yang's ears directly through the translucent screen: "This time, the imperial court only gave him 20,000 soldiers and horses, just to force Sheng Guogong to increase the weight. As long as Sheng Guogong sends additional troops and horses, the imperial court will be able to recapture Xingluocang, and Sheng Guogong's men and horses will also be lost in this battle, which is a foolproof plan for the imperial court to kill two birds with one stone."

「……」

"However, until today, when Yu Wenye went out of the city, his subordinates only had the 20,000 soldiers and horses given to him by the imperial court."

Chu Yang's gaze became colder and colder, and he became more and more sober: "What does this mean?"

Wang Shaoji said, "This means that for them, the victory or defeat of the imperial court and the ownership of Xingluocang are not as important as the soldiers and horses of their Yuwen family."

With that, he took another step forward.

"Your Majesty, think about it, what do they want so many soldiers and horses to do? If they have soldiers and horses, and they don't deal with the traitors of the imperial court, and they don't go to conquer the Wang Gang army, then what is their goal—isn't it obvious?"

Chu Yang's complexion gradually sank, and he said, "Are you saying that their family retains their strength, and they are reluctant to take out a single soldier in order to deal with me in the future?"

Wang Shaoji's eyes showed a cold light: "Your Majesty, Weichen doesn't dare to say anything."

「……」

"But people's hearts must not be guarded against."

Chu Yang frowned and pondered for a long time, and said, "However, he has already led the troops to set off, at this time, how can I prevent him?"

Wang Shaoji lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty, no matter how few soldiers and horses there are, grain and grass are also life."

Chu Yang's eyes lit up: "You want me to detain his grain and grass?"

"It's not a seizure,"

Wang Shaoji said, "Your Majesty, Yu Wenye originally went to attack Xingluocang, which was the largest granary of my Daye Dynasty. If he can fight it, won't there be an endless supply of grain and grass? Why do you need the imperial court to allocate more grain and grass?"

「……」

"If he can't beat it, then the court will send him grain and grass, won't it be a tiger to raise?"

Chu Yang nodded: "Reasonable......

He thought about it again, and immediately said, "Xingluocang is not far from the east, Wang Shaoji, you have kept an eye on the war this time, if Yu Wenye has any misdeeds——"

The latter words, he did not say.

But Wang Shaoji had already understood what he wanted, and immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, please rest assured."

「……」

"If Yu Wenye makes any mistakes, Wechen will never let him return to the Eastern Capital alive!"
