Chapter 278: Sleepless Night
At this time, Ji Yunshu was still on the road. The road was extremely difficult to walk on at night after the rain. In order not to alarm others, they could not light torches to illuminate the road.
The only thing to be thankful for is that the moonlight is very good tonight. The moonlight shines on the ground, especially in the puddles, so it is not so dark anymore.
After you get used to it, you will be able to see more clearly.
The three of them walked in one direction for about half an hour and arrived at a valley.
As soon as he arrived at the place, Ji Yunshu stopped decisively.
Yin Ye was about to ask something when he suddenly heard some noise.
If it were before, she might not have known what was going on, but after experiencing the horrific scene last night, she immediately said with some disgust: "There's a snake."
Ji Yunshu nodded: "A lot, maybe what we saw last night came from this."
It is definitely not possible to raise so many snakes in a village full of people.
This valley is a certain distance away from the village. It will not disturb the lives of ordinary people and can provide timely rescue if anything happens. It is indeed a good place.
"What should we do then?"
Not to mention that these snakes will attack if they make any movement. Even if they can deal with these things, it will alarm the people inside.
Ji Yunshu took out an incense burner, threw a piece of spice into it, and then placed the incense burner in an inconspicuous corner.
He pulled the two of them up a tree not far away.
Sitting on a branch, he said leisurely, "I made this aphrodisiac incense just because I knew I was coming to Southern Xinjiang. It's not only effective on humans, but it's even more effective against snakes, rats, and insects."
Bai Ling then remembered that when Ji Yunshu was making perfume, he often put a snake in the house. She really didn't expect that Ji Yunshu was already preparing to come to Southern Xinjiang at that time.
"Then how did you find this place?"
Ji Yunshu had a clear goal along the way, as if she knew there was a valley here.
But they all knew very well that Ji Yunshu, like them, was visiting Southern Xinjiang for the first time and was not familiar with the place at all.
Ji Yunshu raised her hand, only to see a fat bug in her palm. "It told me that the spices I lit in the house during the day were actually used for tracking. When Kesang entered the house, he was contaminated with the fragrance. This bug was given to me by the old nanny. It is very sensitive to fragrance."
Yin Ye was amazed: "Master, you are truly thoughtful."
No wonder he dared to make this trip, it turns out he had made sufficient preparations.
After a while, Yin Ye listened carefully to the movements around him, but could no longer hear the subtle noises from before, only dead silence.
The three of them jumped down the tree and went into the valley. They walked very carefully because they had to be careful of the snakes under their feet.
But in fact, the snakes are only distributed on the outermost edge. It is safer to go inside.
Of course there were people guarding it, but it was late at night and there were snakes outside, so these people didn't think anyone could get in, and the guarding was not very strict.
This made it easier for Ji Yunshu to sneak in.
She went straight to a room inside. It was late at night and there was still a candle burning inside.
It was obviously a sleepless night for those who lived here.
The three of them avoided the guards and nimbly jumped onto the roof. Ji Yunshu carefully lifted a tile and saw two familiar faces.
One of them is naturally Kesang.
The other person is Lin Huixue.
The moment Ji Yunshu saw the person, she couldn't help but narrow her eyes. She had come out in a hurry and hadn't paid attention to what was happening in the capital these days.
I don’t know how Lin Huixue got rid of Cen Xi.
I just hope Cen Xi is okay.
She withdrew her thoughts and saw two people below pointing and drawing at a picture in front of them.
The two seemed to have some disagreement and could not reach a consensus.
Ji Yunshu listened attentively.
Lin Huixue said to Kesang impatiently, "The method you proposed is completely unrealistic. Even if we were to capture Xiangcheng by taking advantage of the terrain and catching the enemy off guard, we would soon be surrounded by the Great Xia army. Zhao Shen has already arrived in Southern Xinjiang. Do you think he's a pushover?"
Kesan said stubbornly, "He's just a scholar. What does he know about fighting? Even if he really comes out to stop us, it doesn't matter. His wife is still in our hands."
Lin Huixue sneered, "Don't be naive. Let's not talk about whether Zhao Shen would really give in for a woman. Even if he really did, Ji Yunshu wouldn't give you that opportunity. I told you that if you didn't kill Ji Yunshu right away, you would definitely regret it in the future."
Kesan clearly didn't believe him. "Aren't you very afraid of Zhao Shen? If we kill his wife, we'll be completely hostile to him. It's better to keep her. She might be useful in the future. She's just a woman. I've sent the best warriors in the village to guard her. She won't have a chance to escape."
Lin Huixue was too lazy to argue with him and just said, "The time is not yet ripe. I do not approve of a surprise attack on Xiangcheng. If you insist on doing so, I will leave here as soon as possible. What you do in the future has nothing to do with me."
Kesan looked at him in disbelief: "Are you threatening me?"
They are allies with common interests, but at the critical moment, Lin Huixue said such words. If this is not a threat, what is it?
Lin Huixue said unconcernedly, "It's not a threat, it's a notice. I've been planning for you for years, wanting to achieve my goal in one fell swoop, not to see you make a fool of yourself for your own selfish reasons and ruin my entire plan."
Kesang's face flushed with anger as he was exposed. "I don't think I'm being foolish. My plan is perfectly feasible. Xiangcheng is the largest city near Southern Xinjiang. If we take it, Daxia will be on the defensive. We'll be off to a great start."
Lin Huixue said bluntly, "You idiot don't even realize you're stupid. I'm not interested in your stupid plan. If you want to destroy the Great Wall, go ahead, but don't drag me down."
His ability to irritate people was obviously much stronger than Ji Yunshu's.
Kesan was so angry that he slammed the door and left.
But it was night after all, so he didn't leave overnight, but went to another room to rest.
Ji Yunshu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Her aphrodisiac was still taking effect. If Kesan went out now, he would definitely be able to find something wrong with the snakes.
After Kesan left, Lin Huixue looked at his back with an expression that showed that he was not worthy of being associated with such a villain.
He called someone in and ordered, "Go tell Chief Zan Ning to kill Ji Yunshu immediately. Also, keep an eye on Kesang these days and don't let him act rashly."
The man took the order and left.
Lin Huixue stood in front of the desk, looking at the picture, not knowing what she was thinking about, but a look of joy appeared on her face.
Seeing that there was nothing interesting to see, Ji Yunshu put the tile back and left quietly.
After leaving the valley, Ji Yunshu put away the incense burner he had left behind and headed in another direction.
Yin Ye asked, "Where are we going now?"
Ji Yunshu said, "Didn't Kesang say that Qiyun should be sent back to the Yuxi tribe? I think what he said is true. Let's go to the Yuxi tribe as planned and join Qiyun."
Yin Ye couldn't help but say, "But what Miss Qiyun said might not be true. What if the Yuxi tribe is the same as the Hongtu tribe? Wouldn't we be like sheep walking into the tiger's mouth?"
Ji Yunshu laughed and said, "What are you afraid of? Could Qiyun actually have someone kill me like Lin Huixue did?"
"Why not? The people of Southern Xinjiang are all planning to attack Daxia. What else can they not dare to do?"
