Chapter 117 Everything went so smoothly
In fact, she had this feeling before coming to Suzhou, but she didn't think much about it because she successfully found Zhao Shen.
But when she had some free time these past two days, she thought about recent events and found that everything was going too smoothly.
It seems to have started when she opened a clinic.
Because he was ostracized and found that the price of medicinal materials was wrong, Zhao Shen came to Suzhou in person to check.
At that time, Lanting happened to appear and gave her an account book.
Immediately after Zhao Shen disappeared, she wanted to come to Suzhou, and then a golden stone appeared.
With those people's control over Suzhou, if they are not confident in Jin Shi, can he really appear in the capital?
After coming to Suzhou, although there were some twists and turns, it was still quite smooth.
Zhou Qingbang, who should have been an important bargaining chip in the other party's hands, died after having a face-to-face encounter with her. Lu Yanlin, the spy who had been planted next to Zhou Qingbang for more than ten years, was abandoned just like that.
Everything seemed to be going smoothly when it happened, but the more Ji Yunshu thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.
Now all the clues point to the Suzhou garrison camp.
Ji Yunshu had a hunch that someone was deliberately leading them there.
She thought, maybe what Zhao Shen said that day was right, his identity had been exposed long ago.
It's not just his identity as someone who secretly works for the emperor, but also his identity as the son of the Marquis of Changxing.
Zhao Shen's advantage over the years was that no one would have thought that a disabled person like him would do something secretly.
But he is not without flaws.
Many things are unexpected, but as long as you have doubts, you can always find clues.
Ji Yunshu felt horrified whenever she thought about this, so this time, she had to find out what those people were up to.
Zhao Shen's injury made it difficult for him to ride a horse, and he was not in a hurry, so he set off in a carriage.
It was getting dark, and a lamp was lit in the carriage. Zhao Shen was reading the news sent back by the people who had been sent to investigate earlier under the lamp.
He read the message over and over again, feeling somewhat distracted.
Gu Xing sat in the carriage with him. Seeing his absent-minded look, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "Are you still worried about Madam?"
Zhao Shen's eyebrows remained unchanged, and he said in a cold voice, "Are you concerned about our relationship?"
Why would a secret guard be so gossipy?
Gu Xing touched his nose somewhat awkwardly, but he knew Zhao Shen's personality very well. He knew that although Zhao Shen always appeared gentle and polite in front of outsiders, he actually had a cold personality.
He was obviously in a bad mood at this time, and since he was in front of her, he didn't hide it.
Therefore, he didn't care much and just said, "I'm not concerned about this, but I'm a little worried about your current state."
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
Zhao Shen paused, then continued, "I promised her that I would go back tomorrow to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with her."
When Gu Xing heard him talk about Ji Yunshu, his voice softened a little, and he couldn't help but feel sad.
Who would have thought that these two people got married by accident and would end up like this today.
Zhao Shen looked obviously moved.
Well, who wouldn't be tempted when a delicate young lady dares to come to a place like Suzhou to look for someone?
I just hope this trip goes smoothly.
When Zhao Shen and his men rushed to the town closest to the garrison camp, he immediately discovered something was wrong.
It was late at night and the town was surprisingly quiet.
It seems like there is no one around.
Zhao Shen asked the driver to stop the carriage and waited for a while. There was still no movement outside. He rubbed his brow impatiently and said, "You went to so much trouble to lure me here, aren't you going to come out?"
The voice filled with inner strength echoed in the empty streets.
After a while, a figure finally appeared at the end of the street.
A group of people came out with torches.
The leader was the man in black who appeared in Zhou Mansion that day.
He was still wearing a mask, covering his face tightly even in this dark place.
"Your Highness is so smart, why would he fall into such a trap?"
Zhao Shen sneered: "How do you know I'm walking into a trap?"
His voice came out steadily through the car curtain, and the man in black suddenly became uncertain about his plan.
"So, Your Highness is confident about this trip. Then I want to see what other plans you have."
Zhao Shen said, "I will definitely live up to your expectations, young master. I hope you won't run away like last time."
The man in black snorted coldly, and with a wave of his hand, the other men in black behind him rushed towards the carriage where Zhao Shen was sitting.
Gu Xing blew a whistle, and the people they brought went to meet them.
The two sides started fighting.
Gu Xing was protecting Zhao Shen in the carriage. His expression became increasingly serious as he watched the scene outside. "You're right. These people are specifically targeting the royal guards."
After saying that, seeing that Zhao Shen did not respond, he looked at him, only to see that Zhao Shen's eyes were fixed on the black figure in the distance who was also not participating in the battle.
"Who is he?"
Zhao Shen said, "Someone who is very familiar with me, or Yun Shu. It seems that he went to the Zhou Mansion that night to confirm our identities."
Gu Xing was puzzled: "This is really weird. Even your father couldn't recognize you in this state. How did he confirm it?"
Zhao Shen didn't say anything. The melee outside was almost over. Their people were indeed no match for the other side.
The remaining people surrounded the carriage.
The man in black took a few steps forward and laughed loudly, "Your Highness, are you waiting for General Liu? Unfortunately, I'm afraid he won't be able to come."
Zhao Shen got off the carriage and stood opposite him, sizing him up seriously. "I know you deliberately lured me here, but how could I not know you would send someone to stop General Liu?"
"No wonder the prince was able to deceive so many people in the capital. He is indeed amazing. But now this town has been surrounded. I wonder how the prince will escape without reinforcements?"
Zhao Shen laughed and said, "Don't worry about my affairs. If I were the young master, what I should be thinking about now is how to transfer everyone to the town. What should I do in the mountains?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a huge cluster of fireworks suddenly rose in the sky above the distant mountains.
The black-clad man's expression suddenly changed under his mask. He gritted his teeth and said, "I've included all the people around you this time. Where are you going to get the manpower to encircle and suppress the enemy in the mountains?"
Zhao Shen did not answer his question, but asked: "Now, sir, are you determined to kill me, or go to Baoshan to get the things?"
The man in black hesitated, but looking at the man who was calm and composed in the face of danger, he finally made up his mind: "You have ruined so many things for me in the past six months. If you are alive, our losses will only be greater."
As he spoke, he drew the sword hanging from his waist.
Zhao Shen took a step back and went forward alone.
As soon as the two men fought, there was a commotion at the edge of the town. The people arranged by Zhao Shen arrived and started fighting again with the garrison that surrounded the town.
Zhao Shen held the emperor's token in his hand and used his inner strength to clearly transmit his voice: "Suzhou garrison, listen up and lay down your weapons, otherwise you will be charged with treason."
Ordinary soldiers just follow orders from their superiors and dare not disobey even if they know it is wrong.
Now that someone holding the emperor's token has appeared, they will not be willing to continue being rebels, whether for themselves or their families.
