Chapter 439: Beasts are beasts

Ji Yunshu said with a heavy face about her plan, "I was distracted before. Even if it's for revenge for Ah Cheng, I have to pull myself together as soon as possible. There are people waiting for me in the Mobei Royal Court. She must have been anxious these days."

Liu Yan didn't expect this. She thought Ji Yunshu knew that he could make money by doing business in Mobei, and that he dared to come because he had capable guards around him.

Who knew she knew someone in Mobei.

She immediately realized that if this person was a powerful person in Mobei, it would have a great impact on her plans.

She said calmly, "The people of Mobei never like to make friends with us Daxia people. Who do you know?"

Ji Yunshu said carelessly, "We are friends. With her here, I don't have to worry about not having people want my goods."

Liu Yan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she heard her say this. Since he was interested in the goods in her hands, he must be a businessman.

Merchants not only have little status in Daxia, but also in Mobei.

Compared to Daxia, business in Mobei is less developed, and most of the time only basic necessities are traded.

The upper class dignitaries like Daxia's silk and tea, but they all have their own channels.

Just like their Liu family, they specialized in supplying these to the nobles and made a fortune over the years.

Of course, there are some extra costs involved, but these days, what can you do without paying a price?

Liu Yan's heart settled, and she continued, "Are you two familiar with each other? The people of Mobei aren't as barbaric and ignorant of the ways of the world as we think. They can be quite cunning at times. If you're not a close friend, you might as well wait and see. Those things you have are rare even in Daxia and are very valuable. Don't get scammed."

Ji Yunshu nodded: "I'm not very familiar with her, but don't worry, she still needs my help with something, she won't cheat me."

Wujina is the princess of Mobei after all. If everything goes well, she will be the future queen. There is no need to cheat her out of such a small amount of money.

Liu Yan didn't understand what she meant, but after realizing that the two of them were in a mutually beneficial relationship, she looked at Ji Yunshu with an even different look.

Obviously, Ji Yunshu was not as simple as she thought.

However, after the other party said it so directly, she felt a little relieved. At least this girl was really simple and cunning.

"That's good. We're all traveling together, after all. I'm really worried about you being alone now. How about you come live with us once we get to the royal city? We have a big house in the royal city, and it's empty anyway."

"Great! I was just wondering where to stay in the royal city. Thank you so much. You're so kind."

Ji Yunshu agreed without much hesitation and looked very happy.

She didn't know if it was still useful to pretend to be innocent now, but at least it could make the Liu brothers and sisters relax their vigilance.

Even if it's just a little bit, it will be of great benefit to her future actions.

As for Liu Yan's plan to keep her, she was naturally aware of it. It just so happened that she also wanted to find out who the Mobei people were who cooperated with the Liu family.

After hearing Ji Yunshu's words, Liu Yan was very attentive to her throughout the rest of the journey.

But Liu Ze became more and more irritable day by day. The night before entering the royal city, they camped in an open area.

Although it is hot to travel in the summer, it also has its advantages, that is, accommodation is convenient. Ji Yunshu simply couldn't imagine how they would travel all the way in the winter in Mobei where water turns to ice.

Dongzhi carefully fumigated Ji Yunshu's tent with mosquito repellent herbs before stopping.

The person who was watching the Liu brothers and sisters came over and whispered to him, "Another woman was thrown out of Liu Ze's tent just now. She was dead when she came out."

Dongzhi muttered a sin and whispered, "Keep watching. Report back if there's any movement."

His master had left him behind to protect his lady, and since they were about to enter the royal city, he naturally didn't dare to be careless.

After the man left, he went into the tent and told Ji Yunshu what had just happened.

Ji Yunshu had never imagined that drugging Liu Ze would lead him to harm innocent people.

"Why doesn't this evil person just die?"

She couldn't help but curse in anger.

Dongzhi was afraid that she would expose herself in a moment of impulse, so he quickly said, "We are about to enter the royal city, he should not dare to do such a thing again."

Ji Yunshu sneered, "You're wrong. It's hard for him to find the right person right now. But once he enters the royal city, things will be different. Will he treat the slave girls from Mobei as human beings?"

A beast is a beast. No matter how human-like it looks, it cannot change its evil nature.

This kind of behavior can be developed even in Daxia where there are laws and clan constraints, let alone Mobei where there is no one to supervise them.

You can imagine what he can do.

Dongzhi also knew that she was right, but if they took action now, it would only arouse suspicion and would have no effect.

"The master said that after this incident, he will never be kept."

From the moment Liu Ze dared to set his sights on the lady, he was a dead man in Dongzhi's eyes.

But he still said this reluctantly. He was also a servant, and he knew better than anyone how difficult it was to meet a master like Ji Yunshu who cared about everyone's life.

But now, no matter who it is, in his heart, no one is as important as Ji Yunshu.

He would not put Ji Yunshu in danger just to save a few people.

Besides, even if Liu Ze died in the end, the people he killed would not be able to survive.

Ji Yunshu nodded and said, "Well, you can have someone cripple him, clearly and accurately, so that he can't be salvaged. This way, he won't cause any more trouble or harm anyone."

Winter Solstice: "Is this... okay?"

He didn't expect that his wife would let him do such a thing.

Ji Yunshu said confidently, "He's going to die sooner or later anyway, so whether or not it can be used isn't a big deal. Why not?"

Dongzhi: "Madam, you are right. I will have someone do it right away."

After saying this, he seemed to be afraid that Ji Yunshu would say something else, so he quickly retreated with a red face.

Ji Yunshu found it funny. Zhao Shen used to live a pure and simple life, and the people around him were not interested in women.

Now that he is married, these people are still so innocent.

Dongzhi seems to be old enough to get married.

Just as I was thinking this, I heard someone say in my ear: "Is it fun to tease me like this?"

Ji Yunshu turned around and saw Zhao Shen appeared in the tent at some point.

She threw herself at Zhao Shen in surprise: "Why are you here? Have you finished your business?"

Zhao Shen was afraid she would fall, so he hugged her tightly before saying, "I borrowed Huo Cong's connections, and things have been much easier. I figured you'd be heading into the city tomorrow, so I came to check on you out of concern. How did Liu Ze offend you again?"

She clearly didn't agree with being cruel to Liu Ze before, but after just a few days, she changed her mind.

Ji Yunshu recounted what Liu Ze had done, and said with some disdain, "The Liu family is also a large clan. Even if Liu Ze's branch isn't the direct descendant, it's not completely ruined. How could they raise their children to be like this?"
