Chapter 1093 I want to see Xiao Lang!

At noon, Shi Yuxin's army crossed the Yellow River and arrived at Xiao Yuansui's camp.

Shang Ruyi followed behind her, walking in. Looking at the well-ordered military camp and the heavily armed troops, her mood grew even heavier. This wasn't the first time she had entered the enemy's camp, especially the camp of Xiao Yuansui, who was the enemy. It had happened before in Xingluocang City. But this time, she understood even more what she meant to Yuwen Ye, and she was even more unwilling to accept the possible outcome.

She instinctively wanted to look back, even though she knew that it was impossible to see Hulao Pass from this place—just before crossing the Yellow River, Shi Yuxin had pointed to the distant mountains on the opposite bank and told her that Hulao Pass was on the other side.

Turning around, she met a pair of charming eyes, bright with anticipation.

It is green silk.

Having been captured by Shi Yuxin, Shang Ruyi was probably the one in the best mood, or even the most eager, throughout the journey. Now that she had finally entered Xiao Yuansui's military camp, Shang Ruyi could clearly hear Lüxiao's rapid breathing, and even her heartbeat seemed to become excited. If it weren't for Shi Yuxin and her men blocking her way, she might have already rushed up to see her beloved.

For some reason, Shang Ruyi let out a deep sigh.

Immediately, Wo Xue whispered, "Your Highness, it's alright."

Compared to the agile Shang Ruyi and Lüxiao, Woxue suffered greatly along the way. Having witnessed Woxue's skills and knowing that this girl wouldn't be easily subdued, Shi Yuxin never allowed anyone to untie her. Before crossing the Yellow River, she even tied Woxue to the back of Lüxiao's horse with a rope, stumbling and falling all the way to Hulao Pass. But upon hearing Shang Ruyi's sigh, she immediately cheered her up, showing no complaint or fear about her own predicament.

Shang Ruyi said softly, "I'm fine, don't worry."

Wo Xue nodded.

Being in enemy territory, she couldn't possibly be without worry. Her bright eyes warily scanned her surroundings, as if searching for an opportunity. If given even the slightest chance, she would definitely take Shang Ruyi away from here.

But now is clearly not the time.

As they walked through the training ground of the camp, each with their own thoughts, and finally reached the largest tent at the front, a somewhat familiar voice came from ahead—

"General Shi, you've worked hard."

As soon as Shang Ruyi looked up, she saw a handsome young man dressed in a close-fitting outfit standing in front of the tent. He bowed to Shi Yuxin while scanning them around. His hawk-like eyes seemed to linger on her for a moment, but then looked away and back at Shi Yuxin at the front of the group: "The General has been waiting for a long time."

Shang Ruyi immediately recognized that it was Hua Ziying.

Shi Yuxin remained silent the entire way, but Shang Ruyi could clearly sense that her expression grew increasingly solemn the closer they got to the main tent. At this moment, she spoke first, asking, "Where is my brother?"

Upon hearing this, Hua Ziying's young face immediately froze.

An awkward and tense atmosphere seemed to suddenly rise in the air.

After a moment of silence, Hua Ziying said, "The General ordered that General Shi be invited into the tent for a meeting. He has something to say to you. The rest of you should go and rest first, and the prisoners should also be taken away."

Shi Yu thought for a moment and said, "Okay."

So she waved to the people behind her, and her personal guards immediately turned and left. Hua Ziying also waved to summon a group of men to take the prisoners away.

Green Silk suddenly stepped forward: "I want to see Xiao Lang!"

Hearing this, Shi Yuxin turned to look at her, while Lüxiao quickly stepped forward. She didn't recognize Hua Ziying, but from the fact that this person could give orders on behalf of Xiao Yuansui, she could roughly guess his identity. She said eagerly, "I am—"

"The girl in green silk,"

Hua Ziying glanced at her, her expression somewhat complicated, but she still said seriously, "The General said that General Shi's prisoners should be taken away first."

But I—

"the same as you."

"..."

He will come to see you later.

As if a bucket of cold water had been poured onto a blazing fire, the brightness in Green Silk's eyes vanished in an instant, and her whole being seemed to dim. She stood there blankly, motionless as if frozen, until someone came over and pulled her up. She swayed and almost fell over.

Shang Ruyi reached out and supported her arm, glanced at Hua Ziying again, and then said softly, "Let's go down first."

After saying that, he was about to take her and Wo Xue down with him.

But just as she was about to turn and leave, Hua Ziying stepped forward and said, "Princess Qin, please wait."

Shang Ruyi frowned slightly and turned her head away. When facing her, Hua Ziying's expression became even more stiff. Clearly, both of them had recalled their confrontation. In Hua Ziying's eyes, Shang Ruyi and Yuwen Ye were the culprits who had caused Wanggang Village to fall apart. Although he wouldn't make things difficult for a woman, he couldn't show her any kindness either.

For Shang Ruyi, facing this person again felt terrible.

Especially that night outside Xingluo Granary, when it was pitch black and there was a river between them, Hua Ziying was able to fire several arrows in succession, forcing her into a desperate situation. Although many years have passed, the unbearable memory of being treated as prey immediately became clear when she saw him, binding Shang Ruyi like a net once again.

She asked in a deep voice, "What is it?"

Hua Ziying said, "Your Highness, our General also wishes to see you."

"..."

Upon hearing this, the surroundings immediately fell silent.

Green Silk glanced at Shang Ruyi, then at Hua Ziying. Something seemed to flicker in her dim eyes, but she couldn't quite make it out. She was trembling slightly. Wo Xue stepped forward, watching Hua Ziying warily. Even with her hands bound and her whole body on guard, she was on high alert, as if she would fight to the death if anyone dared to touch Shang Ruyi.

Shang Ruyi thought for a moment, then raised her hand and pressed down on her arm.

Wo Xue looked at her: "Your Highness!"

Shang Ruyi said calmly, "I was captured because of this identity. Don't worry, they won't hurt me before they make good use of me."

After saying this, Shang Ruyi glanced at Lüxiao intentionally or unintentionally. She saw that Lüxiao seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, but her eyes were even more confused.

Hua Ziying waved his hand again, and his men led Lüxiao, Woxue, and the others away. He then turned around and gestured to the tent behind him, saying, "Please, both of you."

Shang Ruyi took a deep breath and followed Shi Yuxin into the large tent.

I'm too tired today, so I need to take the day off. Please forgive me.
