Chapter 537 I Have No Chance

Xiao Kun leaned against the door, muttering in despair, "I made a wrong move..."

Yin Shu knew that he had always regretted letting Ji Yunshu marry Zhao Shen, but given the circumstances at the time, they had no way to stop it.

There is no need for that. Ji Yunshu will eventually get married, and that person cannot be Xiao Kun no matter what.

"Why do you have to do this? Even if you're wrong, you might still have a chance to start over. If all else fails, I'll help you snatch the person away. Now, neither General Ji nor Zhao Shen has the time to pursue the matter. When everything is settled, it's still unclear who will have the final say in Daxia."

He was very optimistic about Xiao Kun. He had been making strategic plans over the years and had never made any mistakes. Although he had stumbled over Ji Yunshu's matter, his trip to southern Xinjiang made him privately feel that Ji Yunshu was worthy of Xiao Kun.

Xiao Kun looked at him and smiled somewhat miserably: "You don't understand, I don't have a chance."

Not to mention Ji Yunshu's current attitude, just the few words she just said confirmed the suspicion that had existed in his mind for a long time.

Yin Shu couldn't bear to see him like this, so he asked curiously, "What did she say?"

In his eyes, Xiao Kun is a man of strong character who will not give up his goals easily.

He was particularly obsessed with Ji Yunshu, and he didn't even care that she had been married or had liked someone else.

But the way he looked now, filled with grief and despair, really made him confused.

It was a cold day, and Xiao Kun was sweating profusely. His face was pale, and the headache gradually subsided. He said, "I want to see Zhebie. No matter what, I need him to show up here as soon as possible."

Yin Shu smiled and said, "What a coincidence! I just received news that he's here too, and his target seems to be Ji Yunshu. What are you looking for him for?"

Xiao Kun then looked up at him: "What does he want to do to Yun Shu? Are you hiding something from me about the Southern Xinjiang situation?"

Yin Shu quickly protested, "I've told you everything from beginning to end many times, without missing a single detail. You also know that Ji Yunshu didn't trust me at all back then, and even deliberately pushed me away for a while."

Xiao Kun also knew that she would not hide anything from him, so he thought for a moment and asked, "Then, in your opinion, what is Zhebie's purpose in arresting her?"

Yin Shu frowned and said, "That man is a lunatic. He's talking nonsense about using Ji Yunshu's body to resurrect his wife. How is that possible?"

Thinking of Zhebie's crazy look, Yin Shu felt goosebumps all over his body.

Xiao Kun said, "Don't let him come into contact with Ah Shu. Bring him here first."

He had only suspected it before, but now Ji Yunshu's words almost confirmed his guess. It was obvious that the hatred that Zhebie set his sights on Ji Yunshu was also related to this.

He must get to the bottom of this.

Yin Shu: "I'm afraid this is difficult to handle. As for the prince..."

After all, Zhebie was King Yong's man. Although Xiao Kun had already recruited many of King Yong's men, he felt that it was not appropriate to confront them face to face.

Xiao Kun said expressionlessly, "Just don't let him know. Don't tell me you can't even do this."

Yin Shu: "Okay."

Yin Ye followed Ji Yunshu out of the inn. Seeing that Ji Yunshu seemed to be in a bad mood, she followed her quietly.

But he soon realized that they were not taking the road back home, and couldn't help asking: "Where are we going?"

Ji Yunshu said, "Go find my brother."

"Ah, women are not allowed in the military camp."

Yin Ye reminded.

Ji Yunshu took out a small seal with his fingertips: "Is this not enough?"

Yin Ye took a look at the token and shut his mouth decisively.

That is the general's personal seal.

She realized she had no idea how much the general doted on his daughter.

The two men left the city and rode towards the military camp. When they arrived, it was already an hour later.

Ji Yunlan was a little surprised to hear that Ji Yunshu was coming.

"Why did you come here in person? Did something happen?"

Ji Yunlan hurried to the tent where Ji Yunshu was.

Ji Yunshu said, "I went to see Liu Yan last night and asked her some questions."

Ji Yunlan was surprised: "She actually spoke?"

These days he also witnessed the spies' willingness to die rather than surrender.

They used all kinds of torture, but they couldn't pry open his mouth. He would commit suicide if he got the chance.

Ji Yunshu nodded: "She wanted her aunt to survive, and I agreed."

Ji Yunlan knew that the Liu family had colluded with the enemy and committed treason, and that no one in the family, young or old, male or female, would survive.

"I heard that the Emperor hated the Liu family deeply because of the war, and the Three Courts sentenced them to immediate execution. It's too late to save them, right?"

Ji Yunshu said, “When Zhao Shen went to the capital to deliver evidence of the Liu family’s collusion with the enemy, he wrote a letter to the emperor, asking him to keep Liu Yan’s concubine.”

A large family like the Liu family, with main and side branches, and a large number of legitimate and illegitimate children, no one would care about a little concubine, so there is a lot of room for maneuver.

Everything she said to Liu Yan last night was true.

Liu Yan also knew this, otherwise she would not have believed her so easily.

Ji Yunlan exclaimed, "So you've been playing coy with Liu Yan all this time?"

Ji Yunshu shook his head: "I really didn't find anything wrong with Liu Yan at first. It was Zhao Shen who wanted to keep her. He said it was just a matter of a sentence hidden in the letter."

Ji Yunlan: "Zhao Shen is indeed powerful. To be honest, I can't imagine what the current battle situation would be like without him."

Ji Yunshu smiled. She certainly knew that Zhao Shen was very powerful. He was smart and had memories of his past life.

In the more than a year since they got married, Zhao Shen had almost no free time.

He is so busy, I guess he has done a lot of things.

"Let's not talk about that anymore. I learned something from Liu Yan. The spy buried in the high-ranking military officials is not Madam Qi. She is just a discarded pawn who was pushed out."

Ji Yunlan said solemnly after hearing this: "I have thought about this before. The timing of General Qi's deputy general's assassination of my father was too coincidental, and Madam Qi was exposed too quickly. She could have hidden for so many years, so she shouldn't be so useless."

Ji Yunshu asked, "So, who that person is, do you know, brother?"

Ji Yunlan shook his head: "I don't know, but I think Daddy and Zhao Shen know."

Ji Yunshu understood what he meant. As long as his father and Zhao Shen knew, it meant that things were not out of control.

Some things are better known by as few people as possible.

Ji Yunshu felt relieved. She looked up at Ji Yunlan and smiled, "That's good. Is Brother going to leave Wuning?"

"You know everything?" Ji Yunshu touched his nose and said, "Am I a major general? I can't be unworthy of the title. With such a good opportunity, of course I have to go to the battlefield to gain experience and earn some military merits. Otherwise, how can I succeed my father in the future?"

Ji Yunshu knew that he said this on purpose. Under the current circumstances, going to the battlefield would definitely be a very dangerous thing.

But as he said, he was the son of General Ji and it was impossible for him to stay in the rear all the time.

"Brother, do you really want to take over Dad's position? Actually, it would be nice to return to the capital and live a leisurely life as a prince of a marquisate."

Born into a marquis's family, Ji Yunlan had to bear a heavy burden since childhood. When Ji Yunshu thought of this, he couldn't help but feel sad.
