Chapter 298 This is fate
Although Ji Yunshu had felt that Zhebie was a little abnormal before, his actions were still somewhat logical.
Only now did she realize that this was a madman who seemed sane.
No wonder she felt that this person was out of place before. As the patriarch of a tribe, he had lived in a shabby house for decades.
It's not good for my only daughter either.
But such a person got involved with Lin Huixue and planned to restore the country.
He really doesn't look like the ambitious type at all.
Now Ji Yunshu understood that everything he did was not for the purpose of restoring his country, but just to resurrect his wife.
This is no longer just a fantasy.
"I originally wanted to use the Soul Gu to control your soul first, and then let it enter your body. But you were too disobedient. Since the time is not right, I will let you go first. You don't really think I will let you drug me and control me on my own territory, do you?"
Ji Yunshu had felt before that he had things going too smoothly, but now he had no objection to discussing these things.
She asked curiously, "Are you saying that there really are souls in this world? If so, your wife has been dead for so many years, how can you guarantee that her soul is still there?"
Although he thought this man was a lunatic, Ji Yunshu couldn't help but feel curious.
Because he seemed to know something that others didn't know.
Zhebie seemed to be in a good mood and patiently explained to her: "Isn't it clear whether there is a soul lady? To be honest, if you hadn't appeared, I wouldn't be sure this was true."
He looked at the coffin with a gentle expression. "I used a secret method to trap her soul in the coffin, but over the years, no matter what I did, she didn't respond. I was already desperate, but that night last year, I accidentally looked at the stars. Guess what I saw?"
Ji Yunshu shook his head blankly.
Zhebie said excitedly, "An alien star appeared and replaced a star that was supposed to dim. Since then, many things have begun to change. I knew your body was what I wanted, but you happened to marry the grandson of the Marquis of Changxing. This is fate."
This person actually understands astronomy.
Ji Yunshu didn't know what to say. You said he was talking nonsense, but what he said was well-reasoned and most likely true. But if you said what he said was true, it sounded like nonsense.
"So it wasn't Prince Yong's Mansion that came after you, but you who came after Prince Yong's Mansion? You raised an army to rebel, causing rivers of blood to flow in southern Xinjiang, just to lure me and the Crown Prince here?"
"Of course, Prince Yong was destined to be the emperor, but everything has changed because of your appearance. Do you think he will let you go?"
Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "Speaking of this, I should thank the clan leader. You didn't tell King Yong about this, did you?"
Zhebie was not embarrassed by being exposed and frankly admitted: "Of course, if he knew, he would definitely not be able to keep you, but before I see you, I need you to be alive."
Ji Yunshu nodded. "I understand. So it was Qiyun who went to the capital. She wanted to confirm that I was the person you were looking for. I know why you wanted my body, but what about Zhao Shen? What do you want his blood for?"
Zhebie said, "When the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom was destroyed, no one from the royal family survived except the princess. He is the princess's descendant and possesses the purest royal bloodline."
"Aren't you from the Yuxi tribe descendants of the royal family? Is your bloodline not pure?"
This was a bit insulting, but since he was already a prey, Ji Yunshu felt that he didn't need to care about this little detail right now.
Anyway, Zhebie would not let her go just because she spoke nicely.
Zhebie's expression was indeed not very good, but he still answered her question: "Unlike you Daxia people, we Nanzhao people value blood inheritance. Many important Gu techniques can only be learned and used by those of the royal bloodline."
Ji Yunshu thought this was magical. After all, it had been so long, and she hadn't noticed anything different about Zhao Shen's blood.
But now is not the time to argue about this: "Will he still be alive after you use up his blood?"
Zhebie shook his head, looking at Ji Yunshu's strange smile. "I need all his blood. Besides, he's already been poisoned. He'll die sooner or later. Wouldn't it be nice for him to die with you?"
Ji Yunshu shook his head: "No, no matter what happens to me, I hope he is alive."
Zhebie's expression turned cold: "It's not up to you to decide."
He pinched his fingers, stood up and said, "It's almost time, are you ready?"
When Ji Yunshu saw him open the coffin and look at the person inside with a gentle expression and a hint of a smile on his face, she felt creepy.
She shook her head repeatedly: "No, I'm not ready. Can you let me see my husband first?"
Zhebie gave him a cold look and ordered the people behind him: "Bring the person here."
Ji Yunshu stared at the man intently. He walked out of the stone gate and came in carrying a person on his back after a while and put the person down.
It’s Zhao Shen.
Ji Yunshu ran over and saw him unconscious. He couldn't help but ask, "What did you do to him?"
Zhebie said expressionlessly, "I learned this from you. I knocked him out just in case. We're only using his blood anyway, so there's no need for him to be awake."
Ji Yunshu nodded: "That's good, he won't feel any pain. Should we start now?"
Zhebie didn't expect her to cooperate like this, so he said, "Do you have any last wishes? Tell me and I can help you realize them."
Ji Yunshu thought for a moment and said, "I want to know how your wife died."
She felt that a normal person wouldn't go this crazy even if their loved one died, and wouldn't spend so much time insisting on bringing her back to life.
So the death of the patriarch's wife may be the key to the matter.
Zhebie asked suspiciously, "What does this have to do with you?"
Ji Yunshu sighed, "Every day I live is a blessing. Even if I die, I won't have any last wishes. But even if I die, I want to know why I died. Your wife died young, so it definitely wasn't a natural death. How can I know how she died?"
When Zhebie heard her say this, his eyes turned sad as he looked into the coffin: "She was a fool. She sacrificed her life for someone as unworthy as me."
Just like what Ji Yunshu thought, the reason why Zhebie couldn't get over his wife's death was simple: it was because he was the one who killed his wife.
When his wife was pregnant, he went into the mountains to collect herbs and saved a woman.
The woman claimed to be homeless, so he took her back to his home.
Living under the same roof, the two of them saw each other every day and soon fell in love.
But the woman did not truly love him, but was sent by someone to kill her.
At the critical moment, it was his wife who blocked the knife for him. The knife stabbed very deep and even an ordinary person would not survive.
What's more, she is a pregnant woman.
His wife gave birth to a daughter with all her strength and then died.
"She loved me so much, she was willing to die for me, but before she died she looked at me with such disappointment. I... knew I was wrong."
Zhebie's voice trembled, but Ji Yunshu smiled. "You've gone to so much trouble to revive your wife. Haven't you ever considered that she doesn't want to come back to life, and doesn't want to see you again?"
