Chapter 289 Finding an Ally

Ji Yunshu had obviously thought it through long ago. Looking at the two people lying unconscious on the ground, a cold look flashed in his eyes: "We have known each other for so long, it is time for us to meet Master Lin properly."

When she was in the capital, in order to play along with the enemy, she did not expose Lin Huixue's disguise.

When he saw Lin Huixue that night, Ji Yunshu regretted not getting rid of her sooner.

But it was just a thought. She knew that if Lin Huixue was not there, there would be someone else. Zhebie was so cruel that even if no one instigated him, this day would come sooner or later.

Now she has roughly figured out the cards of the people in Southern Xinjiang, except for Lin Huixue. Since Xiao Kun said that he is a powerful person, he should not have only these few tricks up his sleeve.

At least until now, she has not yet seen clearly what Lin Huixue really did in the affairs of southern Xinjiang, or what his purpose is.

The rebellion in southern Xinjiang is just the beginning, and the plans of Prince Yong's Mansion will never stop there.

Ji Qian had no objection to Ji Yunshu's words. He just looked at the two people on the ground and asked, "What should we do with them?"

After all, this is the Yuxi tribe. The sudden disappearance of the clan leader and his daughter will cause a lot of trouble.

Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "Let someone spread the word that I injured the leader of the Yuxi tribe and he escaped. He was seriously injured and unconscious, and Qiyun went to hunt me down."

Ji Qian immediately understood what she meant: "Then we just need to put the clan leader back to his bed. But what about Miss Qiyun?"

Ji Yunshu asked, "Where did you put the things I gave you before I left?"

Ji Qian said: "It's just outside the village."

"Go get it now." Ji Yunshu pointed to the box that Zhebie brought, which contained various bottles and jars. "I'll get rid of the things inside first."

These bottles were obviously filled with poisonous insects, and Ji Yunshu felt that keeping them would only bring disaster.

After Ji Qian left, Ji Yunshu lit a brazier and poured all the poisonous insects in the bottle into the fire.

Insects of different colors were burned to ashes in the fire.

Ji Yunshu didn't know whether Zhebie had any spare poisonous insects in his hands, but he couldn't do anything in the short term.

Ji Qian came back quickly with a bundle in his hand. He was a little surprised to find that Ji Yunshu had exchanged her clothes with Qiyun's clothes, and she also gave herself a hairstyle exactly the same as Qiyun's.

The two of them are about the same height, and if you don't look at their faces, they really do look a bit similar.

He seemed to understand what Ji Yunshu wanted to do.

Ji Yunshu took the bundle from his hand and opened it. He took out one of the masks from the stack inside, then carefully put it on his face in front of the mirror. It took him a while to get it right.

She turned around and asked with a smile: "How is it? Does it look like it?"

Ji Qian looked at the person in front of him in surprise. He knew the art of disguise, but he had never seen such a lifelike disguise.

Ji Yunshu at this moment looked exactly like Qiyun. When the two were put together, he couldn't see any difference.

“Very similar.”

Ji Yunshu was also very satisfied. The only regret was that the situation here was special. The daily habits and customs of the Miao people were very different from those of Daxia. The most important thing was that they usually communicated in Miao language.

I don’t understand these myself.

Otherwise, she might have been able to do more.

After she packed up, she handed the small porcelain bottle containing the sleeping drug to a subordinate brought by Ji Qian, and asked him to guard Zhebie and make sure he remained unconscious.

This was also a lesson she learned from herself. Zhebie thought that locking people up would be enough, so when he saw her in the cell, he relaxed his vigilance.

But as long as people are awake, even if they are not moving, they may be able to do something.

Especially when Zhebie is still a Gu Master.

Before dawn, Ji Yunshu and Ji Qian took Qiyun away from the village.

It would be much more convenient if there was someone to pick them up outside. Ji Yunshu asked someone to take Qiyun away. Although this was a little troublesome, with Qiyun in his hands, even if something unexpected happened to Zhebie, he would take his daughter's life into consideration and would not act rashly.

Then she took Ji Qian towards the Hongtu tribe.

Ji Qian couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you going to look for Master Lin?"

As far as he knew, Lin Ruxue was still in that valley.

Ji Yunshu said, "The war has already begun. If Lin Huixue is still in Southern Xinjiang, then there must be something important that she hasn't completed. What do you think it is?"

Ji Qian thought for a moment and said, "The other subordinates don't know, but this time he seems to be targeting the lives of the prince and you."

Ji Yunshu nodded: "He wants our lives, and he must know that we want his lives too, so he will definitely not sit still and wait for death. If we go now, we will be walking into a trap."

She brought only a few people with her and was not familiar with southern Xinjiang. Ji Yunshu did not want to make unnecessary sacrifices, so she did not ask anyone to keep an eye on Lin Huixue.

This also meant that she had no idea what was going on with Lin Huixue.

"So are we going now?"

The Miao people are very xenophobic, and very few of them can speak Daxia official language, so they will be discovered as soon as they open their mouths.

Now they are at war with Daxia, and no matter who started it, they will not think it is their fault.

Ordinary people do not have the ability to discern these.

They only knew that their relatives who went to the battlefield would die at the hands of the Daxia people, so they were particularly hostile to the Daxia people.

If possible, Ji Qian really hopes that Ji Yunshu will leave here now.

Ji Yunshu had been locked in darkness for several days. Now, breathing in the fresh air, he felt relaxed all over.

Moreover, what she got from Zhebie made her feel that everything she had done in the past year was meaningful.

She said in a relaxed tone, "Let's find an ally first."

"ally?"

Ji Qian was puzzled. They were heading towards the Hongtu tribe. They had already started a war with Daxia. Would they still have any allies?

Ji Yunshu didn't answer his question, but kept it a secret: "You'll know in a moment, and I'm Qiyun now. As long as I don't speak, there won't be any trouble."

Qiyun is the daughter of the chief of Yuxi, one of the three major tribes, and is considered the top noble among the Miao people.

This identity is still useful.

Seeing that she was confident, Ji Qian didn't ask any more questions.

Ji Yunshu, however, seemed to remember something and frowned as he asked, "Did you deliver the letter I asked you to deliver to the prince?"

Judging from the distance, Zhao Shen should have entered southern Xinjiang by now. As long as Ji Yunshu could ensure her own safety, she didn't want Zhao Shen to worry about her safety.

If that was the case, it would go against her original intention of making the trip and would make her a burden.

Ji Qian hesitated: "I sent the letter, but I haven't received a reply from the prince. Could it be that the prince is angry?"

Zhao Shen had originally disagreed with Ji Yunshu coming. Not only had she come to Southern Xinjiang, but so many things had also happened, and she still didn't want Zhao Shen to come and save her.

Ji Qian felt that if he were Prince Zhao, he would feel suffocated.

This lady is really troublesome.

Ji Yunshu asked in confusion, "What's there to be angry about?"
