Chapter 325 Return to Beijing

He deliberately mentioned that Ksan had died in battle, presumably because this assassination attempt was related to his death.

Then who else would care about his death except Xan's father, Zanning?

The first person she thought of was Qiyun.

She had good intentions for Kesan and went to great lengths to send Kesan's lover away.

It’s hard to say what I would do when I suddenly received the news of Ksan’s death.

Zhao Shen confirmed her thoughts: "It's Qiyun. She and her father, Chief Zhebie, are both missing."

Ji Yunshu was a little confused: "I can understand that she wants to avenge Kesan, but what does this have to do with me? Kesan died on the battlefield, I didn't kill him."

"She personally accompanied you to Southern Xinjiang. Perhaps in her heart, if it weren't for the two of us, Southern Xinjiang wouldn't have been defeated, and Kesang wouldn't have died."

Ji Yunshu found it amusing: "Can you blame me for this? When they were so ambitious and overestimating their own capabilities in wanting to restore the country, didn't they ever think about their own death?"

There will be casualties in war. On the battlefield, swords are merciless. Who cares who you are?

Kesan’s life is not necessarily more noble than that of others.

What's more, from what Zhao Shen said, he was seeking death.

Yes, how could such a high-spirited young man, who raised an army with full confidence and wanted to restore the former glory of Nanzhao, watch all the tribesmen around him die in battle while he himself lived in disgrace?

Zhao Shen also sighed: "Although he has become a knife in the hands of others, I have to say that he is indeed quite brave. If he hadn't died here, he might have become a talented general in the future."

Ji Yunshu also felt it was a pity. Kesang was one of the few sincere people she had met in Southern Xinjiang.

But the person is already dead, there is no point in saying anything.

"Zhebie was rescued before, and now Qiyun is also missing. They, father and daughter, are now in Lin Huixue's hands, right?"

Although it was a question, the tone was affirmative.

"It should be, but Lin Huixue has disappeared."

By now, many things have become clear. The Hongtu tribe was cannon fodder from the very beginning. Zanning and his son rushed to the front on impulse, so it is not surprising that they ended up like this.

However, Ji Yunshu was still a little confused about what Zhebie and his daughter wanted to do.

"What exactly do they want to do? Does Zhebie want to use our lives to revive his wife?"

Although it sounds incredible, Zhebie is not a normal person at all, so he naturally cannot think like a normal person.

Zhao Shen thought about what he had found out, his eyes darkening slightly: "No matter what they want to do, they won't dare to do anything to you in the short term."

His series of actions after Ji Yunshu was assassinated today were all intended to intimidate the other party.

No matter whether it is Qiyun or Zhebie, if they want to touch Ji Yunshu, they have to touch him first, otherwise the consequences will be beyond their ability to bear.

It was not until the next day that Ji Yunshu found out that Zhao Shen had used evidence to pin the blame of her assassination on Qiyun.

The evidence isn't real, but the facts are true.

Having just finished a war, this result is very convincing.

The people of Yu Xi's tribe had to admit that they had not actually participated in the war, and there was no way to make the things that Zhebie and Lin Huixue did in collusion public.

But now that Qiyun has sent people to assassinate Ji Yunshu, Yuxi's tribe can no longer stay out of it.

But they couldn't even hand over Qiyun.

The bloody lesson of the Hongtu tribe being almost annihilated was still fresh in their minds, so it was naturally impossible for the Yuxi tribe to fight against Daxia again.

They had no choice but to send someone to ask for peace.

The three largest tribes in southern Xinjiang all bowed their heads, and Zhao Shen no longer needed to deal with the rest of the matters.

Seeing that the Wanshou Festival was not far away, Zhao Shen took Ji Yunshu and set off back to Beijing.

Yin Shu said goodbye to them and left immediately. Ji Yunshu looked at his back as he rode away on horseback and asked in confusion, "Who is he? Why did he agree to protect me?"

Ji Yunshu didn't believe a word about taking money to do things.

Yin Shu doesn't look like someone who is short of money.

And protecting her is not an easy task. The most important thing is that protecting her means getting involved in many things.

Just like this time, when he protected her, wasn't he going against Prince Yong's Mansion in Lin Huixue's eyes?

She did not forget that Yin Shu was from the Dark Pavilion, and the Dark Pavilion seemed to have a connection with Prince Yong's Mansion.

A gloomy look flashed across Zhao Shen's eyes, but he smiled and said, "Don't worry about this. I will pay the due compensation."

He will protect his wife and there is no need for others to interfere.

Ji Yunshu looked at him in surprise. In fact, she had a vague guess, but since Zhao Shen didn't say it, there was no need for her to expose it.

With Zhao Shen by his side on the way back, Ji Yunshu felt much more at ease. He traveled and played along the way and returned to the capital three days before the Wanshou Festival.

When Lu Ru and Lan Yin saw that she came back safely, they finally felt relieved.

Lu Ru helped her change her clothes and muttered, "Madam, you have lost a lot of weight since going out. Now that the weather is getting hot, it's time to make new clothes."

Ji Yunshu waved his hand and asked her to open the storeroom to select materials for summer clothes. Each servant in the yard was rewarded with two sets of clothes.

There were already established rules in the mansion, and her rewards were extra, so the girls were naturally happy.

Seeing Lu Ru excitedly taking people to choose fabrics, Lan Yin laughed and said, "Madam, you're spoiling her too much."

Ji Yunshu said indifferently, "Those fabrics are just sitting there in the warehouse for nothing. Why not use them to make clothes? It will make everyone happy, so why not?"

Lan Yin couldn't refute this: "You are right."

Ji Yunshu had so many things, especially silks and satins, that the Empress Dowager would give her a batch of them from time to time.

Not to mention that I now know Cen Xi. The Cen family made their fortune in silk and satin. Although they now also do other businesses, their silk and satin shops are almost all over Daxia.

Cen Xi now also likes to give her master various materials.

Speaking of this, Ji Yunshu couldn't help but ask: "What happened to the Cen family after I left? How did Lin Huixue leave the capital?"

Speaking of this, Lan Yin paused and said, "A few days after you left, Mr. Cen passed away. Miss Cen had to observe mourning, so the wedding was not rushed. No one knew that Master Lin had left the capital."

Ji Yunshu understood that the Cen family was not even noticed in the capital, let alone a failed candidate like Lin Huixue who was about to marry into the family.

"Does this mean that Miss Cen and Lin Huixue's marriage is still going on?"

Ji Yunshu frowned and asked, "What happened to Mr. Cen? Wasn't he feeling better before? Why did he suddenly..."

Lan Yin sighed, "It was the Cen family. They were unhappy with Grandpa handing over the Cen family fortune to Miss Cen, so they poisoned Grandpa's medicine, hoping to frame Miss Cen for poisoning Grandpa. But it was later discovered that they had bought the poison. As soon as Grandpa Cen died, they were all thrown into jail."

Ji Yunshu felt something was amiss, but thinking Lan Yin might have heard about it too, he didn't ask any further questions. Instead, he asked with some concern, "How's Xi'er?"

Cen Xi only had the old man as a relative in this world. He originally thought that he could enjoy the happiness of his parents for a few more years, but who would have thought that he would pass away so soon.

Lan Yin shook her head: "I don't know either, but judging by the current situation, no one in the Cen family should dare to trouble her."
