Why My Domineering Prince Regretted Filing for Divorce?-Chapter 590 - 483: Fufeng Battle, It Ends Here!_2

After dividing them into four groups, fifty soldiers were designated as one unit, led by Centurions from various armies. In this way, they had their familiar brothers alongside, preventing them from developing ulterior motives due to unfamiliar surroundings; at the same time, they were accompanied by an equal number of troops, enabling them to swiftly address any issues that might arise.

Once these individuals were assigned clearly and the last group, following Dai Junliang’s orders, had left the city gate, the sky had fully darkened.

Yet, Fufeng City, especially the city tower, was as bright as day.

The archers and soldiers guarding the city had already lit torches, illuminating the tall figure below the city tower.

Everyone’s gaze was fixed on him.

By this moment, the intense joy of witnessing Xue Xian’s execution and Fufeng enduring a nearly month-long siege finally achieving a resounding victory had long since settled. However, even with their calm minds, everyone couldn’t help but feel their hearts surge when looking at the stately figure of the Great General who led them to ultimate victory!

At this time, Yin Changyue, already unable to contain his joy, approached Yu Wenye and said, "Great General, I congratulate you. This battle was wise and courageous, slaying countless enemies, and took down Xue Xian, the court’s major foe. I will immediately send someone back to Daxing City to report the Great General’s unparalleled achievements to the court!"

Yu Wenye glanced at him and only nodded, "I would appreciate that."

Yin Changyue then happily departed.

Once he walked off into the distance, Yu Wenye lifted his head again; a slender figure was slowly coming down from the city tower.

At the instant of seeing this figure, a shadow flashed across Yu Wenye’s eyes.

But no one felt anything strange, everyone merely watched as Shang Ruyi finally came down from the city tower, walking slowly toward Yu Wenye. Although she tried hard to control herself, the flickering gaze and erratic breathing betrayed her excitement at this moment.

She whispered, "Feng Chen—"

She originally had many words to say, but at this moment felt they were unnecessary, only smiling at the person before her, as if all she wanted to express had already been said.

Yu Wenye looked at her, remaining silent.

For some reason, gazing into his deep black eyes, Shang Ruyi felt a slight tremor in her heart.

What is going on?

Though she knew Yu Wenye was an emotionless person, always calm, even in the face of such a victory, his being composed did not surprise her.

However— for some unknown reason, she had the constant feeling that something was off about Yu Wenye’s aura.

Yet, before she could ponder further, Shantong’er had already dashed up, laughingly said to Shang Ruyi, "Sister Ruyi, we won!"

Shang Ruyi hesitated, then quickly recovered her smile, looking down at him, "Indeed."

"This time, we owe it to Brother Shen."

"..."

Bringing this up, Shang Ruyi remembered, besides settling the surrendering Longxi Army of more than a hundred thousand soldiers, there was another issue yet to address—

Shang Ruyi slowly lifted her head, looked at the tall, mountain-like figure beside Yu Wenye, who had dismounted. With substantial physique, his slightest movement stirred up a wind, causing nearby soldiers’ torches to sway, as he stepped heavily and quickly moved to stand before her, casting a shadow as deep as the surrounding night, engulfing Shang Ruyi.

Shang Ruyi had already lifted her head; now she tilted her neck back slightly.

Thus, she could clearly see the face of the brawny man before her.

Shen Tu Tai.

Just like when they met that night in Yanyue City, his face was full of curly whiskers, a broad mouth, wide nose, giving the impression of a tiger. As he spoke, it was like a thunderclap overhead, making one’s ears resound.

He said, "Young Madam."

The voice remained identical.

Except this time, he wore a smile. Though his face was covered in blood, appearing like a tiger even when smiling not heartily, it was vastly different from the cold attitude that kept others at a distance when they met in Yanyue City.

Shang Ruyi understood; this was the smile of—"kin."

Thus, she returned the smile to Shen Tu Tai, "Brother Shen, after Yanyue City we have been eagerly awaiting you."

"..."

"You have finally arrived."

Shen Tu Tai bowed toward her, saying, "I hope the Second Young Master and Young Madam won’t blame me for acting on my own accord."

At his words, Shang Ruyi glanced at Yu Wenye. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

For some reason, she thought Yu Wenye would also tacitly gaze back at her, but Yu Wenye merely lowered his eyes indifferently, his expression slightly odd.

What was he thinking?

But actually, from the moment she saw Shen Tu Tai appear on the battlefield, Shang Ruyi had understood; she knew Yu Wenye realized earlier, thus relying heavily on Shantong’er and Nie Chong during this battle, because someone had to burn Xue Xian’s supplies, and it had to be Shen Tu Tai.

This was what Tushere mentioned—a help, yet also a hindrance.

Because previously Shen Wuzheng said, Shen Tu Tai did not wish to immediately lower himself to pledge allegiance to the Yuwen Family, as he lacked battle achievements, and no support, akin to a surrendering general; hence he only let Nie Chong and a few others follow Yu Wenye, while remaining in exile to create his own value.

In such tumultuous times, the greatest chance to create value was through war!

So he seized this opportunity, amidst Xue Xian and Fufeng’s stalemate, to burn Xue Xian’s supplies before Yu Wenye—only he led the troops capable of such movement—forcing Xue Xian into a final decisive battle with Fufeng. Joining forces with Yu Wenye in this battle, they killed Xue Xian, thoroughly pledging allegiance to the Yuwen Family!

Now, while not indispensable to the Yuwen Family, he is at least a merit-holding minister!

Shang Ruyi laughed, "Kin, what is there to blame?"

Finishing her words, she turned to Yu Wenye, "Feng Chen, what do you think?"

However, when she turned to glance at Yu Wenye, her expression immediately changed.
