Ji Yunshu stayed up all night reading an old-fashioned, melodramatic, angsty novel. When she woke up, she found herself transmigrated into the book as the male lead's wicked original wife.
<...Chapter 301 Why doesn’t he come to save you?
Yin Shu felt a lump in his heart: "It's already this late, and you can still sleep?"
Ji Yunshu found a clean place to sit down: "I'm already locked up here anyway, there's nothing else to do except sleep."
No matter what time, you must conserve your energy and maintain your physical strength, otherwise when you have the opportunity to run out, you won’t even be able to run.
Yin Shu narrowed his eyes and said, "The last time I was locked up by the Hongtu tribe, you left me behind in the middle of the night and ran away. What are you planning this time?"
Ji Yunshu shrugged: "I'm a weak woman, what can I do?"
"Weak woman?" Yin Shu sneered. "Not to mention the arduous journey from the capital to southern Xinjiang, just look at the past few days, you've been tossed around by two villages and several groups of people, and you're still unscathed. Forgive my ignorance, but I've never seen a woman as weak as you in my entire life."
Ji Yunshu thought about what had happened over the past few days and felt that he had done nothing wrong. "It was just the instinct to survive. Master Yin is fine too."
Yin Shu is not here for fun, so how could she have done nothing these days? Those people may have to be cautious about killing her, but they don't need to think about anything when killing Yin Shu.
In this way, Yin Shu is more dangerous than her.
Yin Shu was still looking up at the night-shining pearls. He smiled and asked, "You came here for Zhao Shen, right? If you lose your life, won't you regret it?"
Ji Yunshu also followed his gaze and looked at those night pearls. In this dark environment, the bright pearl light had a dreamy beauty.
She couldn't help but suspect that all this was a dream.
She thought she was really a little tired: "Just do it, what's there to regret?"
"Do you like Zhao Shen this much? You've only been married to him for a year."
He checked and found that although the two had been engaged since childhood, they had no contact before they got married.
Ji Yunshu tilted her head and looked at him: "Liking someone can be a matter of a moment, it has nothing to do with time. Besides, he is my husband, isn't it normal for me to like him?"
She knew very well that this was not entirely for Zhao Shen, but why was it necessary to argue about this with someone she didn't even know well?
Yin Shu turned his head and continued to look at the night-shining pearl above his head: "Are you waiting for him to come and save you? What if he doesn't come?"
"How can we always wait for others to rescue us? Let's find a solution ourselves, Master Yin."
Yin Shu looked at Ji Yunshu in surprise, but found that she had closed her eyes.
He seemed to be really sleepy and fell asleep as soon as he closed his eyes.
Yin Shu couldn't help but ask Bai Ling, "Is your wife usually like this?"
Bai Ling politely replied, "Excuse me, sir."
Ji Yunshu didn't know how long he slept, and was finally woken up by Zhebie.
Zhebie said sarcastically, "Madam is really brave. She can still sleep at this time."
Ji Yunshu looked at him for a few times, and seeing that he looked quite exasperated, he said with a smile, "Patriarch, since you are so anxious, it seems that things are not developing as you wish."
"Zhao Shen destroyed half my life's work with a single fire. I must make him pay. I didn't intend to torture you, but now... have you thought about how you're going to die?"
This is really good news. Ji Yunshu was originally worried about how Zhao Shen would deal with those people who seemed to be unkillable. It seems that those things are afraid of fire.
Yes, no matter how powerful something is, it will be burned to ashes by fire.
"Now you are the butcher and I am the meat. How I die is naturally decided by the clan leader. I have never bothered to think about such matters that are beyond my control."
Ji Yunshu looked like he had given up hope.
"Doesn't Zhao Shen think highly of you? Why doesn't he come to save you?"
Zhebie's face looked extremely ugly. He had never imagined that the poison he had painstakingly prepared, the trump card for launching this war, would be destroyed without even playing its due role.
Ji Yunshu said expressionlessly, "Perhaps in his eyes, the outcome of this war and the lives of tens of thousands of people on the battlefield are more important than me."
She said this without any resentment, although she hoped that she was the most important in Zhao Shen's eyes.
But she is a normal person after all, and she knows very well that if it were her, she would make the same choice as Zhao Shen.
It's not that she is selfless, but she can't bear to let so many people die because of her.
She came from a peaceful era and understood the value of life better than anyone else here.
Zhebie sneered, "You came all the way here for him, going through countless dangers, but now you're dying here because he didn't come to save you. Don't you resent him?"
Ji Yunshu twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "If he comes, I won't die? And he didn't kill me for another woman, why should I resent him?"
"you……"
Zhebie was obviously not heartless. Ji Yunshu's words pierced his chest and made him feel pain.
He knew Ji Yunshu did it on purpose, but it still hurt him.
He persisted for so long because he was unwilling to admit that his wife died with resentment towards him.
"You're so sharp-tongued. What good will it do you to irritate me?"
Ji Yunshu blinked his eyes: "Just think of it as me having some fun before I die. I'm happy to see you unhappy."
Zhebie said coldly, "I think you are just stalling for time, hoping that Zhao Shen will come to rescue you. Unfortunately, he is busy fighting and cleaning up the mess right now, and he has no time to save you. You are nothing to him."
Ji Yunshu was puzzled and said, "Why am I stalling for time? It's obviously you who's waiting for someone. Speaking of which, doesn't resurrecting your wife depend on the right time? Is there still time to wait any longer?"
Zhebie felt that he had already acted unconventionally enough, but the woman in front of him was really beyond his comprehension.
"Are you really not afraid of death?"
"I'm afraid. If I'm afraid, will I not die?"
Ji Yunshu's expression was very calm, and there was no sign of fear at all.
Zhebie said, "If Zhao Shen doesn't come by midnight tonight, there's no point in you living."
After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and left again.
Ji Yunshu watched the stone door close again, then turned to ask Yin Shu, "What on earth is he doing here?"
"I'm sending you a message. It sounds like the battle is almost over."
Yin Shu didn't expect that the greatest support of the people in southern Xinjiang was destroyed by Zhao Shen's fire.
I couldn't help but admire him: "Zhao Shen is really brave. This place is surrounded by mountains. If a fire starts and burns the mountains, the consequences will be disastrous."
Fire attack sounds simple, but if it is actually used on the battlefield, it is not easy to implement.
The most important thing is that fire is difficult to control artificially and is likely to cause a disaster greater than war.
Ji Yunshu felt that Zhebie wouldn't be so bored as to come here specifically to deliver a message to him.
"Zhebie is the chief of the Yuxi tribe after all. Would he just watch his own plan fail?"
Yin Shu asked, "Isn't he just trying to resurrect his wife?"
Ji Yunshu couldn't help but laugh: "Do you believe this? If he really loves his wife so much, how could he be attracted to someone else?"
Zhebie instigated his people to restore their country and took the initiative to pull in Prince Yong's Mansion. What does such a plot have to do with women? Everything was just for his ambition.
