It was getting dark very quickly.

Although he knew that it would get dark soon, so he whipped all the way, and the snow that was swept by the wind and blown to his face was cut like a knife, but Shang Ruyi still didn't expect that it would get dark so quickly.

The dark clouds that had not dispersed all day seemed to have been summoned by something at this time, all of them were silted above their heads, covering the entire sky tightly, and soon, the surroundings were so dark that they couldn't see their fingers, Jiang Kesheng could only light a few people to light torches in front of them and around them, but in this way, their speed had to slow down a little.

It's already the beginning of time.

They passed through their own Zhuangzi an hour ago, and according to the distance, there was probably more than an hour to go to Luoyang.

The closer they got to Luoyang, the heavier everyone's mood became, and the more solemn the expressions on their faces.

Finally, at a bend, Jiang Kesheng rode his horse to Shang Ruyi's side and said in a deep voice, "Young lady, we can't continue to move forward."

Shang Ruyi looked at him with a frown, but the horse still didn't stop.

"Why?"

"According to our previous estimates, today is the day when Liang Shide attacks Luoyang. Although we take the path and can avoid their route, the closer we get to Luoyang, the better the chance we will meet them."

It was countless people who were holding torches high and moving forward in the wind and snow, but just like them before, the flames were almost shrunk into a cluster by the wind, which could only illuminate the distance of an inch, so they couldn't see who the other party was, and they could only vaguely identify that it was at least a team of nearly a thousand people, with horses' hooves rolling and thundering, galloping towards them.

Shang Ruyi raised his head again and looked ahead.

"Huh?"

I saw a lot of fire in front of me.

Shang Ruyi's heart twitched, and he subconsciously pulled the reins.

She hesitated for a moment and said, "But Fengchen, it's still ahead."

Her vision was blurred by the wind and snow and tears, and she gradually became a little unrecognizable, so she could only squint her eyes slightly, but at this moment, Jiang Kesheng, who was following her, gasped and said in a deep voice: "No, it's not the second son!"

After pondering for a long time, she finally said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

「……」

"Quick, lead the horse!"

Shang Ruyi agreed, so they led people forward, and after a while they arrived at the bottom of the dirt slope, and after tethering the horses, Jiang Kesheng immediately asked people to make a fire to warm her.

"Who are they?"

Seeing that the people around her were in chaos, Shang Ruyi calmed down, she grabbed Tushe'er who was hugging her in a panic with one hand, grabbed Jiang Kesheng's arm with the other, and looked up at the people and horses around them, these people were all sturdy, wearing uniform yellow-collared brown clothes, but no armor, but their actions were very uniform, obviously soldiers who had undergone strict training.

The speed of the horse galloping immediately slowed down, and the people and horses behind him also slowed down, and the torches around them illuminated the expressions on the faces of the two people, and also illuminated the solemnity in Shang Ruyi's eyes.

Jiang Kesheng said: "But the young lady, if we really bump into it, we can't help the second son."

….

Liang Shide's people and horses, have such a shape?

Shang Ruyi's heart was flustered for a while, and she was sober for a while, as if she had noticed something, but the hooves of the surrounding horses and the loud shouts of those people kept interrupting her thoughts.

Shang Ruyi frowned and said, "But I...... I'm worried about him. He doesn't have many soldiers and horses, but Liang Shide has 100,000 troops coming, and if he collides, I'm afraid he will be in danger."

"With his subordinates' understanding of the second son, he is not a reckless person, and he will definitely not do useless things. As long as he wanted to leave, Liang Shide's people couldn't stop him. But if he comes, and the young lady is in danger, it will be really troublesome."

Jiang Kesheng nodded, glanced around again, and then pointed to a dirt ramp in front of him: "Let's go there, there is a leeward side and a wider view."

。」

Hearing him say this, Shang Ruyi finally grabbed the reins and stopped the horse under his seat.

Those people, getting closer.

These people had swords in their hands, but they did not rush up immediately, but they were also looking at them, as if they were recognizing.

Jiang Kesheng said, "Since the second prince has agreed with the young lady, as long as we wait here, we should be able to wait for him to come."

Jiang Kesheng hurriedly raised his arm and waved at the people behind him, and everyone stopped, Shang Ruyi heard it clearly, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Of course, there was no Eastern Capital in this place, and even the violent snowstorm made her unable to see the scenery ten steps away, and the more her vision was blocked, the deeper the shadow in her heart became, almost overwhelming her.

The people in front of them had apparently discovered their presence as well, and immediately rushed towards them with shouts, and the sound of the wind and horses' hooves was mixed with the sharp sound of swords unsheathed, and in an instant, those people had rushed around them, surrounding their group of men and horses!

"Young lady, be careful!"

Shang Ruyi was overjoyed, hurriedly ran up the dirt slope, and looked forward.

Liang Shide's army!?

Shang Ruyi couldn't believe it, they didn't avoid Liang Shide's people, how could they-

"Miss!"

"Don't get too busy, we're just—"

Shang Ruyi was startled, Jiang Kesheng frowned and looked ahead, and suddenly, his eyes widened suddenly.

Is it Yu Wenye?

Shang Ruyi's heart couldn't help jumping, her eyes widened, and even the cold snowflakes blew into her eyes, stinging her tears were about to flow out, and her eyes were still wide in anticipation.

Obviously, they are all apprehensive about returning to the eastern capital, which may have been caught in the flames of war.

"We are short of manpower, and once we are caught up in the war, all the people here will die!"

"That's, it seems to be—it's Liang Shide's man!"

After a while, someone said, "It doesn't seem to be."

She could only say in a deep voice, "Don't move yet, see what they are going to do!"

Just behind them, on the other side of the dirt slope, there was a heavy and rapid sound of horses' hooves in the snow, apparently a large group of men and horses galloping towards them, and the hurricane stirred up by these people made the snow in the air even more messy.

But just as those people were still collecting firewood, they suddenly felt a slight tremor on the ground.

「……」

"Hurry up and report it!"

Then they saw that the horses were turned and ran behind, and the sound of the horses' hooves in the wind and snow faded away, but in a short time the sound of the horses' hooves sounded again, and brought with them more people, and divided the group of men and horses around them into two columns, and saw a horse come out of the middle, and look down at them.

And Shang Ruyi also raised his head in the wind and snow and looked at the person who leaned over to them.

The moment their eyes met, Shang Ruyi almost suffocated.
