Shang Ruyi’s throat moved a few tis, wanting to say sothing, but not a word could co out. She only felt a violent movent in her chest, her heart beating as if it was about to jump out of her chest.
Yu Wenye dismounted and walked to her, squatting down: "Are you hurt?"
"..."
After suppressing the heartbeat like a drum once again, Shang Ruyi finally spoke, her voice inevitably carrying a trace of tremor: "No, you arrived just in ti."
Yu Wenye slightly raised an eyebrow: "You knew I would co?"
Shang Ruyi said: "It’s not that you would co, you were just tracking this group of people, right."
Yu Wenye’s eyes flickered: "You know who these people are?"
Shang Ruyi used her soft hand to support herself as she slowly stood up, brushed the dirt off her body, and was just about to speak when Gao Feng and Tushere had already rushed over with their people. Upon seeing the ground full of corpses and blood, they both were startled, and then seeing Yu Wenye standing in front of Shang Ruyi, they ca back to their senses.
At the sa ti, Yu Wenye’s team also arrived from the other side of the road.
Tushere rushed up to hug Shang Ruyi, her voice trembled: "Miss, are you, are you okay?"
Gao Feng also stepped forward, first paid respect to Yu Wenye, then said to Shang Ruyi: "The subordinate guards were not effective, has Miss suffered any injuries?"
Shang Ruyi shook her head: "Don’t worry, these people just wanted to capture alive, not kill ."
Gao Feng was sowhat surprised: "How could Miss know?"
Shang Ruyi said: "There were carts carrying goods in our team, ordinary bandits would definitely rob the carts, but they didn’t even look at them, only ca straight for ; moreover, I recognized the signal whistle they just gathered with, it’s used by barbarians around Dragon Gate."
"..."
"So I judged they are remnants of the Dragon Gate Rebel Army."
"..."
"The Duke is returning from Luoyang after reporting for duty and will definitely continue to clear out the remnants of the Dragon Gate Rebel Army. They probably had nowhere else to run and heard of our two families’ marriage arrangent, so they deliberately waited for us here."
Tushere understood: "They want to capture Miss to threaten the Duke?"
Shang Ruyi nodded, looked at Yu Wenye again, and said softly: "Thank you, Young Master Yu Wen, for arriving in ti, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable."
"..."
Yu Wenye said nothing, just quietly looked at her, a light seed to flash in his eyes.
After watching for a while, he suddenly said: "You should get into the cart first, we’re not far from Taiyuan City now, I’ll escort you into the city."
Shang Ruyi said: "You won’t continue to pursue that group of people?"
Yu Wenye said: "There’s an order of priority in matters."
After speaking, he had already turned and waved his hand, instructing his n and horses to turn back to Taiyuan City.
Shang Ruyi looked at his back, at this mont, Tushere softly urged her: "Miss, please get in the cart first." She then nodded, turned and got into her cart.
And after giving orders to the subordinates, Yu Wenye looked back at her once more.
Just hearing the sound of that whip one could know it wasn’t light, an ordinary pampered miss would definitely cry and make a fuss if struck, but Shang Ruyi showed no sign of weakness, even when moving she kept her back straight.
At this ti, his long-term follower Mu Xian led the horse over, also looking at Shang Ruyi’s back, smiled and said: "Young Master, this Miss Shang is not simple, being able to kill her way out from among that group of people, ordinary people’s legs would be scared weak."
Yu Wenye said lightly: "She’s certainly not simple."
"..."
"Which ordinary girl would suddenly break off her engagent with my elder brother and marry instead after the marriage was arranged."
Mu Xian said: "Young Master went to Luoyang before, didn’t ask for the reason?"
Yu Wenye said: "I will know."
After speaking, he took the reins and deftly mounted the horse, then shouted orders: "Adjust formation, return to the city!"
The group imdiately responded: "Yes!"
The two teams joined forces and set off again on the journey to Taiyuan.
