Chapter 437: He who dares to set his sights on you shall die

"Why are you here in such a hurry? The Liu brothers and sisters are not stupid enough to take action tonight."

In fact, Ji Yunshu felt that the Liu brothers and sisters had already shown that they were very impatient when they came to see her one after another today. It was impossible that they could not wait even for a day or two.

Zhao Shen shook his head. "They have a time limit for delivering things to Mobei. How can they delay here forever? If Liu Ze hadn't discovered the winter solstice today, he would have acted in broad daylight."

Ji Yunshu sneered, "You come from a noble family, yet you are so shameless."

Zhao Shen remained noncommittal and said, "Every family is bound to have a few bad elements. Furthermore, the Liu family is capable of even making enemies, so it's not surprising that others do."

He spoke calmly, but his tone was cold.

Ji Yunshu knew that he was not going to let the Liu family go.

"How do you know they are collaborating with the enemy?"

Zhao Shen said, "The Liu family spent a lot of money to build this road. Huo Cong took so much money, and I thought it was not normal, so I investigated."

So Huo Chong took the money and still cheated people.

Ji Yunshu: "How dare Liu Ze ask Huo Cong for help?"

Zhao Shen said as a matter of course: "Huo Cong did not alarm the Liu family, and he was no match for Huo Cong. If Huo Cong had not wanted to reveal his identity and attract attention, the Liu family would have been destroyed long ago."

Ji Yunshu looked up at him: "So Brother Huo Cong's death is indeed unusual?"

Zhao Shen frowned. "He's very alert. Although he agreed to help me, he hasn't revealed the truth. But it's almost there."

He thought Huo Chong would come to Mobei because he thought his brother's death was related to the people of Mobei.

If this is the case, many things can be easily explained.

Huo Xun was a general guarding the border, and his death was sudden and strange. The people of Mobei were indeed a major suspect.

This may also involve spies lurking in the military.

The more Zhao Shen thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was of great importance.

Ji Yunshu raised an eyebrow and looked at him: "If Liu Ze didn't look for Huo Cong, you would look for him, right?"

Huo Chong has been hiding his identity all these years, so it is impossible that Zhao Shen has only found out so much in the past few days.

Zhao Shen said, "I've noticed the Liu family for a long time. Most of their direct descendants are in the court. They don't show off their talents on a daily basis, but they hold many positions of real power. Their in-laws are spread across aristocratic families. Even the Yu family, the most aristocratic family in Jiangnan, has married a daughter of the Liu family."

Ji Yunshu was a little stunned: "Which Yu family did Princess Rong'an marry into?"

She was impressed by the princess who loved to pick on her.

Speaking of this, Zhao Shen's face became a little serious. "It's the Yu family, the veritable local tyrants of Jiangnan. I wonder if the Yu family is involved in the Liu family's affairs?"

If so, it would be a big trouble.

Ji Yunshu was truly impressed by his ability to think ahead. "No way. The Yu family is well-known and powerful in Jiangnan. Why would they get involved in this?"

Zhao Shen also hopes so.

Ji Yunshu sighed: "Jiangnan is so far away, let's focus on the things at hand first. Liu Ze, how are you going to deal with it?"

Zhao Shen smiled and said, "This is Mobei, and he's concerned about your background, so he doesn't dare to make any big moves. Get rid of the people he sent, and he'll be quiet."

While the two were talking, there was movement outside the tent.

Ji Yunshu swallowed the words on the tip of his tongue, and Zhao Shenze had already stood up.

A moment later, the sound of fighting was heard.

The entire camp was silent, and the sound of fighting was particularly abrupt.

But even so, there was no movement from the Liu family.

Ji Yunshu raised an eyebrow, and soon the outside became quiet again.

Dongzhi came back and reported: "Master, both assassins are dead, what should we do?"

Zhao Shen's voice was filled with chills: "If the Liu family comes to claim the person before tomorrow morning, return him to them. If not, throw him out to feed the wolves."

Dongzhi saw that his master was in a bad mood, so he responded and immediately left.

Ji Yunshu hugged Zhao Shen and said, "Don't be angry. You have made such thorough arrangements. I will be fine."

Zhao Shen took her into his arms and said, "He who dares to set his sights on you deserves death."

Ji Yunshu looked up and said to him, "Well, he will die."

Zhao Shen held her tightly in his arms and leaned over to deepen the kiss. Ji Yunshu rarely cooperated, and his breath gradually became hot.

The two of them were entangled with each other and had no time to talk about anything else.

The night passed like this. The Liu Ze brothers and sisters waited anxiously all night, but the two people they sent out did not return.

Ji Yunshu slept until noon.

Liu Yan came before she could have breakfast.

She looked at Ji Yunshu's face and saw that he looked rosy and there was nothing wrong with him.

I was surprised. How could she forget about the man's death so quickly?

However, she had more important things to do, so she didn't pay attention to this. Instead, she asked, "Sister Yun, did anything happen last night?"

Ji Yunshu tilted her head to look at her. Her eyes were clear and bright, as if they could see through people's hearts. Just when Liu Yan felt that all her calculations were exposed, she heard Ji Yunshu say, "I went to bed early yesterday, so nothing happened. Did something happen over there? Why didn't I hear anything?"

The two camps were right next to each other, so if something happened to one, the other couldn't possibly not hear it.

Liu Yan didn't know if she was hinting at something, but she didn't dare to say anything else. She quickly said, "How could it be? Nothing happened. I'm just worried about you living here alone."

Ji Yunshu knew what she was referring to: "Don't worry, the people around me have all signed death contracts, they wouldn't dare do anything inappropriate to me."

"Even the guards have signed a death contract?"

Liu Yan was a little bit unbelievable. Aristocratic families would place a few people with martial arts skills around their children, but such people were hard to find. Most of them only sold their skills and not their bodies.

Ji Yunshu brought quite a few people with him. The entire caravan was actually made up of slaves who had signed death indentures. What kind of family could afford such a large sum of money?

Or used on a girl.

Ji Yunshu said confidently, "Of course, otherwise what if someone betrays us?"

According to the laws of Daxia, the master can beat or kill the slave who signed the death contract at will.

With this constraint, anyone who wants to do something must first consider their own life.

Liu Yan was speechless. The two people Liu Ze sent last night were obviously defeated by Ji Yunshu.

But since she didn't say it herself, she couldn't just ask.

The two chatted for a while longer, and then Liu Yan was about to leave.

Ji Yunshu asked her, "Didn't you say we've been here long enough and we should set off as soon as possible? Are we leaving today?"

Liu Yan had something on her mind and didn't pay attention to her abnormality, thinking that the day she had agreed with the people from Mobei was not far away.

Regardless of whether Liu Ze's plan could be successful or not, they had to leave as soon as possible, so he said, "I'll go ask my second brother if Miss Yun is okay and we can pack our bags."

After she left, Zhao Shen, who was hiding inside, appeared. Ji Yunshu looked at him and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, Prince Zhao. Your guess is absolutely right."
