Chapter 74: Chapter 74: Traitor — Xiao Yuansui!

"Black Armored Cavalry!"

At the sight of those troops, everyone was taken aback, and Mu Xian immediately said, "Young Master, those are Wang Shaoji’s troops!"

Yu Wenye looked up at the team, his expression turning somber.

The Wang Family, alongside their Yuwen Family, was a prominent Gate Valve, with many talented individuals. The most outstanding of these was the current Right屯卫将军 of the Imperial Guard—Wang Shaoji!

Although they are both noble families, Wang Shaoji is naturally frivolous, greedy and arrogant. Because he manages the Imperial Guard and always serves beside the Emperor, he never advises against the Emperor’s absurd decrees but instead adds fuel to the fire, aiding in its implementation. Previously, the Emperor’s suspicions of Duke Sheng also could not be separated from his slanderous advice.

Therefore, seeing his arrival, everyone grew tense.

Yu Wenye thought for a moment and then lowered his head, saying: "Get in the carriage."

Shang Ruyi also said no more at this time, quickly dismounting her horse, assisted by Tushere, onto the nearby carriage, while Yu Wenye had already ridden his horse toward the front of the troop.

As Shang Ruyi sat down in the carriage, she felt the floorboard beneath her give a dull thud.

At this moment, Yu Wenye had reached the very front of the troop.

The Black Armored Cavalry on the opposite bank barely stopped at the riverside. Each of the soldiers clad in black armor was towering and majestic, and the horses beneath them were also armored in iron. Even though they were at rest, they exuded a palpable, intimidating aura, suffocating and oppressive.

Just then, the Black Armored Cavalry’s formation split open, creating a path.

A lone rider slowly emerged from the rear.

Sitting inside the carriage, Shang Ruyi couldn’t help but lift a corner of the curtain to look ahead. She saw a heavy-armored youth in his twenties standing at the forefront of the troop. His cheeks were thin, his cheekbones high, and his eyes slightly slanted. Although he had handsome features, he exuded an aura of meanness and arrogance.

He held the reins with one hand, half-leaning, and said coldly, "Who dares block my path?"

Yu Wenye said, "Wang Shaoji, has your heart gone bad, and have your eyes gone bad as well?"

Wang Shaoji burst into anger: "Yu Wenye, you—"

Before he could finish his sentence, Yu Wenye coldly chuckled and said, "Oh, it turns out your eyes haven’t gone bad. Then why are you blocking my path?"

With these words, he returned Wang Shaoji’s earlier question right back at him.

Wang Shaoji said, "I am under orders to arrest traitors!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Wenye’s brow furrowed.

Shang Ruyi’s heart also skipped a beat—arrest traitors? Who are they after this time?

Yu Wenye asked, "Who are you looking to arrest?"

Wang Shaoji responded, "The traitor—Xiao Yuansui!"

The mention of Xiao Yuansui’s name caused everyone present to shudder.

For nothing else, the Xiao Family also hailed from Dingchuan Military Town, old friends of both the Wang and Yuwen Families. Xiao Yuansui himself was a rare military genius among his peers, once praised as a Pillar of the Country by the late Emperor.

Unfortunately, after the late Emperor passed away, the Xiao Family gradually lost favor. Two years ago, during a major rebellion in Ying and Song, Xiao Yuansui got involved several times, offering strategies. The rebel army besieged Luoyang, nearly forcing the Emperor to a desperate situation. Only later, with reinforcements from various places, was the rebel army finally encircled and captured. Xiao Yuansui took advantage of the chaos to escape and has since been pursued by the court.

Could it be that Xiao Yuansui has now escaped near Taiyuan?

Yu Wenye slowly turned back and glanced at the troops behind him, his gaze becoming deep and profound.
