Chapter 250: Worst Plans, Best Arrangements
Hearing him say this, Shang Ruyi's heart suddenly warmed again, and that warm feeling even made her face a little hot, but she didn't say anything, only let out a low "um".
Yu Wenye smiled at her.
But in the depths of his deep pupils, there seemed to be a little imperceptible cold light, which flashed away.
At this time, they returned to the room.
Because he had been interrogated for more than half a month before, the imperial court "sympathized" with the auxiliary general and granted him a five-day vacation to recuperate at home, and because the content of the interrogation covered all the details of the war, it was directly sent to the military department to report, and Yu Wenye did not have to go back to the military department to report on his work, these few days were the days when he could rest comfortably.
Shang Ruyi asked him, "What are you going to do today?"
Yu Wenye said: "The snow has stopped, you can go out for a walk, don't worry about me, I have to look at the map again."
After speaking, he picked up the map from last night and spread it on the low table, sat down and looked at it.
Just looked at it for a while, but felt a heat around him, and when he turned his head to look, he saw that Shang Ruyi was also sitting next to him, Yu Wenye couldn't help but smile and said, "What are you doing?" Thousands
Shang Ruyi said, "I'll watch it with you."
"Can you read it?"
"I don't understand, won't you teach me?"
Yu Wenye said angrily: "I don't have enough time for myself, how can I teach you this leisure." Read it yourself, and ask if you don't understand."
After speaking, he ignored her and looked at himself.
But, although he ignored her, Shang Ruyi had been quiet, but he was distracted, and couldn't help but look sideways at the little woman beside him, she looked at the map very seriously, the long eyelashes covered the bright eyes, silent for a while, trembling for a while, as if she could guess what she saw based on this movement alone.
It's a "good show".
And just when Yu Wenye looked at her eyelashes, Shang Ruyi suddenly said, "Second brother—"
Yu Wenye hurriedly withdrew his gaze, and pretended to have just turned around: "Huh?"
Shang Ruyi said: "You just said that more than 40 envoys from various states and counties failed to return to the court in time to report on their work, and more than half of the rest were intercepted and killed by the rebels."
"Hmm. What?"
"Last year, the closest rebel I heard about was the bundle that my father exterminated at Longmen; This year...... It's the person you just repelled Xiao Yuandi in Xingluocang. The rebels seem to be getting closer and closer to Luoyang."
「……」
"Do you know how many rebels there are across the country right now?"
"Ask this? Aren't you afraid?"
"What's there to be afraid of?"
Yu Wenye's originally smiling eyes slowly faded into laughter, replaced by a coldness and solemnity belonging to a martial artist, he was silent for a long time, then looked at the map on the table, and sighed.
Then he stretched out his hand and pointed to a place on the map and clicked three dots: "Here, do you know where it is?"
Shang Ruyi looked down: "Wu Jun, Wu Xing, Huiji."
Yu Wenye nodded, and then said, "The year before last, Zhu Yuanjin, a native of Yuhang, rebelled, and more than 20,000 people were attached; Last year, Wu County Taishou and his subordinates Gao Ke led 50,000 people to rebel against the imperial court, this year the imperial court sent people to crusade, the two were defeated and parted ways, but they still led tens of thousands of people to flee to Huiji, and now the number of people who have increased can not be counted; This year, there are rebels in two more places in Jinling, and although the identity of the leader has not been reported in time, I heard that the number of people who have joined is also quite large."
….
After speaking, he looked down at Shang Ruyi: "In just three Wu and one place, the total number of rebels is close to 100,000."
「……」
"You say, how many rebels there are in the country today, can you imagine?"
「……」
Shang Ruyi only felt cold hands and feet.
Now, she even regrets that she asked this question, in the boudoir, and there is a strong father-in-law and husband, why should she bother with this? What do you do by asking these questions?
Now, it's just a little place
, There are so many rebels, and then looking back at the map of the entire Daye Dynasty, when she thinks of such a dense rebel army, she doesn't know when there will be a rush into Luoyang City and kill them - she suddenly shuddered.
Seeing her face suddenly turn pale, Yu Wenye knew that she must have been frightened.
But he didn't appease her, he just asked, "Do you still ask?"
「……」
Shang Ruyi still didn't speak, only a pale little face hung down, and his expression was still a little trance.
Yu Wenye thought that he was not a person who was too good at pitying fragrant and cherishing jade, but looking at her like this, his heart seemed to be softened, sighed lightly, and took her into his arms.
Whispered, "Scared?"
Leaning on his chest, listening to his firm and heavy heartbeat, gradually, Shang Ruyi seemed to be appeased.
After a while, she slowly raised her head, looked at the handsome face in front of her, and whispered, "Have you ever thought about what will happen to us in the future?"
Yu Wenye's expression froze slightly, and said, "I've thought about it."
"What is it like?"
"I can't think of it."
"Why?"
"The most unpredictable thing in the world is the human heart, and the future of all people is closely related to these two things. Therefore, no one can predict what the future will be."
「……」
"The only thing I can do is to prepare for the worst and make the best arrangements."
Worst-case scenario, best-case arrangement?
Hearing this, Shang Ruyi seemed to be relieved, in fact, the future she chose for herself seemed to follow this truth. Then he smiled and said, "No wonder you have to look at the map when you rest."
Yu Wenye glanced at her: "Then you still bother me?"
Shang Ruyi immediately pursed his mouth and said, "I won't speak, you can continue to watch."
Seeing that she was well-behaved, but stubbornly nestled in her arms and refused to leave, Yu Wenye shook his head and smiled, still holding her in his arms, and looked at the map seriously.
And his gaze gradually fell to the north of Luoyang......
Time passed quietly, and in the blink of an eye, the sun was setting.
A mountain road winds its way up a mountain. The mountain is not barren, and an official road has been opened, but there are many fewer people passing by than usual, and the snow on the mountain has not even been flattened, and under the fiery sunset, the snow all over the mountain reflects a bright red light, like a burning flame.
A horse-drawn carriage drove up the fireworks.
It was the carriage that Yu Wenyuan was riding.
Probably because the weather was still cold, the doors and windows of the carriage were closed, and there was not even a single gap, so tight that it was like a sealed box, not only could not be blown in by the wind, but even people's eyes could not penetrate.
….
Because at this moment, there are a lot of eyes staring at this carriage.
Just above the head of this mountain road, halfway up the mountainside, several sneaky figures poked their heads out, and then carefully lowered their heads, for fear of revealing a trace of their tracks, but in fact, the people in the carriage did not even lift the curtain a little, let alone see them. But these people were still very careful, staring at the carriage and driving slowly, and it was almost under their noses.
One of them whispered, "Are you sure?"
"Sure, this is Sheng Guogong's carriage."
"Sheng Guogong's car, why doesn't there even have a guard? That's not right."
"I heard from the news in the city that he went back to the Eastern Capital against the order this time, so he was alone, and when he left, he asked his family to change the carriage, but I don't know why, he still didn't bring anyone."
"Probably, I'm still afraid of being blamed from above."
"Hmph, he's bold."
"Anyway, it's cheaper for us."
After a few people finished speaking, their eyes gradually revealed a strong killing intent, especially when the carriage was already there
Driving down the road below them, the monotonous sound of wheels was already ringing in their ears.
The time has come!
The leader of the group suddenly opened his eyes wide, a cold light burst out, and said in a deep voice, "Do it!"
His voice was not high, but on this silent mountain road, it caused a finch to fly, and the coachman below immediately sensed that something was wrong, looked up, and immediately screamed in fright.
Overhead, countless arrows flashing with cold light flew towards his carriage.
One of them was shooting right in the middle of the road in front of the carriage!
The rest of the arrows rained down like rain, and all of them were nailed to the carriage, and only the sound of countless snatching was heard, and although they did not pierce the board, they shot the carriage into a hedgehog at once.
The horses were frightened, and with a long neigh, they stood up, and the carriage hurriedly grabbed the reins, and the carriage staggered to a halt.
And the next moment, a rumbling, really zenith thunder sounded overhead, and the coachman looked up with a white face, only to see a boulder rolling down from the mountainside, crushing countless snow and dead branches along the way, and suddenly his eyes were so frightened that he jumped off the frame with a scream, and rushed forward in panic.
But the carriage is still parked in place!
At this time, there was no time to give people a chance to react and escape, and the boulder fell with a bang, directly smashing the entire carriage to pieces!
The horses neighed and turned into a puddle of flesh!
When the people hiding on the mountainside saw this, they were all overjoyed, and some of them were even more happy, "It is finished!"
They immediately got up from behind the snowdrift where they were hiding, and the leader of them was calm, and said to the people on the side, "Go and get the coachman back—no, just kill him, don't tell the news."
Someone next to him took the order and left.
The few of them walked down the rugged mountain road until they reached the boulder, where the fragments of the carriage were scattered along the road, and even the horse's blood was dripping down and staining the snow red.
Several people's faces were full of hideous and satisfied smiles, and they all celebrated, this time the operation was really smooth.
But at this moment, the leader suddenly frowned and said, "It's too smooth......
The others looked at him, "What do you mean?"
"Seems to be a little—"
