Chapter 422: The trump card given by my brother

Ji Yunshu also knew that all forces would place people in the military.

Not only to guard against his father, but also to find out the news in the army.

Some people can't even do something when they know there's a problem.

She sighed and said, "Father and brother should be more careful. You should always be on guard against others. Even if you trust someone, you still have to be vigilant."

Ji Yunlan was puzzled and asked, "Why are you and Zhao Shen so sure that something bad will happen to my father and me, and that it will be harmed by the people we trust?"

Ji Yunshu laughed and said, "Any normal person would think so, right? The King of Mobei is determined to go to war with us. If he's not crazy, then someone must have given him the confidence. And he just so happens to have the Fifth Prince, who's in league with Prince Yong's Palace, by his side. How can Prince Yong's Palace deal with 200,000 troops at the border? Aren't they just going to go after you and father directly?"

There is no need to say what comes next. My father and brother are both top masters. Ordinary people who practice martial arts are no match for them. Who can have a chance of winning against them?

Therefore, Ji Yunshu believed that the person who would take action must be someone they trusted.

They might even fight on the battlefield, just like in the book.

Ji Yunlan nodded: "You are right. My father and I will not be careless, but you must be careful when you go to Mobei. Wujina is the princess of Mobei. She has been able to deceive the King of Mobei with her pretense over the years. She should not be underestimated."

Ji Yunshu said, "I know. Actually, my trust in her isn't entirely because we both need to deal with the Fifth Prince, who is in league with Prince Yong. It's more that although she has ambitions, I can see that she cares about Mobei. But as for Bilige, I can't see his bottom line."

The fifth prince Bilige was of humble origin. According to Wujina, his biological mother seemed to have been killed by the King of Mobei.

Although he was forced by the queen, Ji Yunshu didn't think Bilige could be indifferent to the King of Mobei.

Even though he was a prince, he had been despised and bullied by the people of Mobei since he was a child. What feelings could he have for them?

If such a person became the king of Mobei, Ji Yunshu could not imagine what he would do.

In the original book, after he ascended the throne, he fought with Daxia several times.

At that time, Zhao Heng was the one stationed at the border. It was not known whether he really had the aura of a male protagonist or was truly a military genius, but he managed to drive the people of Mobei back.

Later, the two countries negotiated peace.

Of course, Xiao Yue was also sacrificed in the process.

He didn't feel anything when he was reading the book, but now that everything has become a reality, Ji Yunshu doesn't want to think about these bad things.

She only hoped that her father and brother were well, and that Bilige would not ascend the throne.

Ji Yunlan said, "They are both tough guys. Let them fight among themselves."

Ji Yunshu nodded: "I thought so too, so I didn't touch Bilige."

Seeing that the other party looked like he was about to die at any moment, Zhao Shen might be able to kill him even if he tried his best.

But the situation has not reached that point yet.

They also needed to keep Bilige to stir up internal strife in Mobei, and they also needed to use him to find evidence that Prince Yong was colluding with Mobei.

Seeing that she knew what was going on, Ji Yunlan didn't say anything more. He just took out a token from his arms and handed it to her.

"I've planted some people in Mobei over the years, and you should be able to use them."

Ji Yunshu quickly declined: "I brought enough people this time. The emperor should have made arrangements for Zhao Shen as well."

It is not easy to deploy personnel to Mobei, so Ji Yunshu will inevitably come into contact with Wujina this time.

After all, they were only united for temporary interests, and it was impossible for Wujina not to be on guard against her.

She didn't want to involve her brother's painstakingly built network of contacts in Mobei.

Ji Yunlan directly stuffed the token into her hand and said, "Why are you being so polite to me? Zhao Shen treats you well, but you also need to have your own trump card. Don't worry about the emperor thinking too much. He probably knows what the Ji family has."

Ji Yunshu thought about it and realized that the emperor would not be wary of his mother's family for no reason.

"Thank you very much, brother."

Ji Yunlan rubbed her head: "I know that everything you did was for the Ji family. The Queen Mother said in her letter that you saved the Queen and the little prince, and also saved our family's relationship with the Emperor. If it weren't for this, it's hard to say what situation Dad and I would be in now."

After hearing what he said, Ji Yunshu couldn't say anything to thank him. He blinked and said, "I'm counting on you and Dad to live in wealth and prosperity. If anything goes wrong with you, those people in the capital will be the first to kick me when I'm down, so you must be good."

Ji Yunlan looked at her naughty appearance and felt that his sister was becoming more and more considerate.

The two chatted for a while, and Zhao Shen came out of Ji Changlin's study and came over.

Ji Yunshu then said to Ji Yunlan, "Brother, go take care of your own business. This is my first time here, so I'm going out for a walk."

Ji Yunlan looked at Zhao Shen and knew that with him around, his sister's safety would be safe.

He then explained, "There are quite a few Mobei spies in the city. If you go out, it's best to hide your identities. Don't let anyone see you once you go to Mobei."

Zhao Shen was fine, but once the people of Mobei knew about Ji Yunshu's identity as Ji Changlin's daughter, she would be hunted down immediately.

Ji Yunshu nodded: "It just so happens that we came here disguised as businessmen, so we can just continue using those identities."

Ji Yunlan asked, "It seems you've already made preparations. You want to be merchants selling goods. What kind of goods do you want to sell? Do you need me to help you prepare them?"

Speaking of this, Ji Yunshu had really done his homework. "I met the daughter of the Cen family in the capital. Her family started out making silk fabrics. I heard that the nobles of Mobei like our silk, so I brought some with me when I came here. I also brought porcelain. Oh, and by the way, Zhao Shen's cousin and I have partnered to make glass. It looks similar to colored glaze, but the cost is much lower. I also had someone bring some with me when I came here this time. Will the people of Mobei like it?"

Ji Yunlan: “…”

He knew that his sister had opened several shops in the capital after her marriage, and that business seemed to be doing well, but he didn't know that she knew every aspect of the business like the back of her hand.

"Liuli is also very rare among the people of Mobei. After all, it is rare, and even in our Great Xia, there are not many people who can afford it. It is very expensive."

Ji Yunshu understood that things are valuable because they are rare, and this is true for nobles everywhere.

They feel that it is unworthy of their status if they buy things at a cheap price.

She smiled and said, "That's great. It seems that the shipload of glassware that I asked my cousin from the Shen family to send over will fetch a good price."

Ji Yunlan looked at her curved eyebrows and couldn't help but laugh: "You look like you are here specifically for business."

Ji Yunshu said, "By the way, it's nice to be able to earn money from the people of Mobei. I plan to exchange the items for gems and furs, and then resell them back to the capital to make several times the difference."

Ji Yunlan was stunned. His sister was simply a business genius.

Zhao Shen: "We'll talk about these things later. Let's go out and look for a caravan today to see if we can find a ride. It's better not to trouble you, big brother, about our trip to Mobei."
