It got dark very quickly.

Although he knew it would get dark soon, so he rode very fast all the way, and the bits of snow blown into his face by the wind were cut like knives, but Shang Ruyi still didn't expect that it would get dark so fast.

The dark clouds that had not dispersed all day seemed to have been summoned by something at this time. They all accumulated above their heads, completely covering the entire sky. Soon, the surroundings became so dark that they could not see their fingers. Jiang Kesheng could only

A few people were able to light torches to light up the road ahead and around them, but in this way, their forward speed had to slow down a bit.

It's already midnight.

They passed through their own Zhuangzi an hour ago, and based on the distance, they still have about an hour to go to Luoyang.

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

Finally, at a corner, Jiang Kesheng rode his horse and rushed to Shang Ruyi's side, saying in a deep voice: "Young madam, we can't go any further."

Shang Ruyi frowned and looked at him, but the horse still sat down without stopping.

"Why?"

"According to our previous estimates, today is the day when Liang Shide attacks Luoyang. Although we are taking a small road and can avoid their route, the closer we get to Luoyang, the greater our chance of encountering them."

Shang Ruyi agreed, so they led the people forward. Soon they arrived at the foot of the slope. After tying the horse, Jiang Kesheng immediately asked someone to light a fire to keep her warm.

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

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

"Based on my subordinates' understanding of the second young master, he is not a reckless person, and he will never create unnecessary affairs. As long as he wants to leave, Liang Shide's people will not be able to stop him. But if he comes,

If the young lady is in danger, it will be really troublesome."

Shang Ruyi felt happy and hurriedly ran up the slope and looked forward.

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

"ah?"

Countless people were holding torches high and walking in the wind and snow, but just like before, the flames were blown by the wind and almost shrunk into a cluster. They could only illuminate a square inch of distance, so they couldn't see clearly who the other party was.

Who could only vaguely recognize that it was at least a team of nearly a thousand people, with rolling horses' hooves and a sound like thunder, galloping towards them.

Liang Shide’s army!?

Shang Ruyi couldn't believe it. If they hadn't avoided Liang Shide's men, how could they-

Obviously, they all had lingering fears about returning to the Eastern Capital, which might have been caught in war.

"Miss!"

"..."

Shang Ruyi raised his head again and looked ahead.

"That seems to be Liang Shide's person!"

Jiang Kesheng said: "But Madam, if we really collide, our few people will not be able to help the second young master."

Her vision was blurred by the wind, snow and tears, and she gradually became unclear. She could only squint her eyes slightly. But at this moment, Jiang Kesheng, who was following her, gasped and said in a deep voice: "That's not right.

, not the Second Young Master’s person!”

The people in front had obviously discovered their presence, and immediately shouted and rushed towards them. The sound of wind and horse hooves was mixed with the sharp sound of swords being unsheathed. In an instant, those people had rushed around them and swept them away.

This team of people is surrounded!

"Young lady, be careful!"

"..."

She could only say in a deep voice: "Don't move yet, let's see what they want to do!"

Of course, Dongdu cannot be seen from this place. Even the violent storm and snow made it impossible for her to see the scenery ten steps away. The more her sight was blocked, the deeper the shadow in her heart became, almost making her breathless.

.

These people had swords in their hands, but they did not rush to attack them immediately. Instead, they were looking at them, as if they were identifying them.

I saw a lot of fire ahead.

"We don't have enough manpower. Once we get caught up in the war, everyone here will die!"

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

Jiang Kesheng said: "Since the second young master has made an agreement with the young lady, as long as we wait here, we should be able to wait until he comes."

Those people are getting closer and closer.

Liang Shide's men and horses have such a shape?

Shang Ruyi felt flustered and sober for a moment, as if she had noticed something, but the rolling horseshoes around her and the loud shouts from those people kept interrupting her thoughts.

Is it Yu Wenye?

Shang Ruyi's heart jumped involuntarily, and she opened her eyes wide. Even the cold snowflakes blew into her eyes, stinging her to the point of tears, but she still opened her eyes expectantly.

Shang Ruyi frowned and said: "But I... I'm worried about him. He doesn't have many soldiers, but Liang Shide has led a hundred thousand troops. If we bump into him, I'm afraid he will be in danger."

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

She hesitated for a moment and said, "But Fengchen is still in front."

Hearing what he said, Shang Ruyi finally reined in the reins and stopped the horse beneath him.

After a while, someone said: "It seems not."

"Hurry, lead the horse quickly!"

Seeing that everyone around her was in chaos, Shang Ruyi calmed down. She grabbed Tusheer who was hugging her in panic with one hand, and held Jiang Kesheng's arm with the other hand. She looked up at the people surrounding them.

, these people are all strong, wearing uniform brown clothes with yellow collars, but no armor, but their movements are very uniform, they are obviously soldiers who have undergone rigorous training.

After thinking for a long time, she finally said: "Okay, I will listen to you."

Jiang Kesheng nodded, looked around again, and then pointed to a dirt slope in front: "Let's go there. There is no wind over there and the view is wider."

"Don't create any complications, we are just——"

"Who are they?"

Just behind them, on the other side of the slope, there was a heavy and rapid sound of horse hooves in the wind and snow. It was obvious that a large group of people and horses were galloping towards them. The hurricane stirred up by these people swept up the flying snow in the air.

Everything became even more messy.

"Hurry up and report!"

Then, they saw someone turning their horses and running back. The sound of horse hooves gradually faded away in the wind and snow, but after a while, the sound of horse hooves sounded again, and more people were brought, surrounding them.

The team of men and horses were divided into two lines, and a horse and horse were seen walking out from the middle, looking down at them.

Shang Ruyi also raised his head in the snow and looked at the person who was leaning towards them.

The moment their eyes met, Shang Ruyi almost choked.
