Chapter 304 Treasure
Zhebie sneered: "These are nothing compared to the legends. They are just a drop in the bucket."
Ji Yunshu was curious: "How do you know how much the so-called treasure is?"
Zhebie said, "There are records circulating within our clan. How is it that Madam is also interested in this?"
Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "Treasure, who wouldn't be interested?"
An idea struck her, and she asked again, "Could it be that Lin Huixue is also eyeing this treasure?"
She said that although those poisons could be used as trump cards, there were too few Miao people. Even if they played their best role, they could not be the opponent of Daxia.
It can be seen from the fact that Zhao Shen was able to escape and run to save her at this time that the situation on the battlefield was not serious.
The situation in southern Xinjiang was predictable, or rather, Lin Huixue knew from the very beginning that this would be the outcome.
Although this battle consumed both Daxia and Southern Xinjiang, the benefits he could gain from it were limited.
Now that there is this treasure story, it seems more reliable.
She looked at Zhao Shen beside her.
It’s fine if she doesn’t know about this, but Zhao Shen must be aware of it.
Zhao Shen met her questioning gaze and chuckled, "Lin Huixue practically dug up the entire southern Xinjiang area. Especially this mausoleum, he's been there countless times. I got the map from him."
Ji Yunshu looked at Zhebie and said, "You Miao people are really generous."
The door was opened wide to allow outsiders to come in and look for the treasures left by their ancestors.
Zhebie said helplessly, "It's something you can't find anyway."
Although there are records of it, their entire clan has been searching for it for hundreds of years without success, so they no longer take the treasure seriously.
Ji Yunshu thought about it and agreed. It was not certain whether this thing existed or not. Lin Huixue could look for it if he wanted to. After all, it was in the Miao territory, so even if he found it, he couldn't keep it all to himself.
Although Zhebie's hands and feet were crippled, Jingzhe still did not dare to let his guard down and kept a close eye on him.
After resting for a while, when they stood up, Zhebie suddenly bumped into a wall.
Then there was a vibration in the tomb, and the place where Zhao Shen and Ji Yunshu were standing suddenly sank, revealing a square hole, and the two of them fell straight down.
Zhao Shen was caught off guard and subconsciously grabbed Ji Yunshu's hand tightly.
After falling rapidly, the two men landed in a pool of water.
Ji Yunshu fell into a coma.
When I woke up, I saw Zhao Shen drying clothes on a burning fire.
Ji Yunshu looked around and saw that it was a cave, bare and empty.
Zhao Shen breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her wake up. He helped her put on her clothes and asked, "Do you still feel uncomfortable?"
Ji Yunshu shook his head: "I'm fine, how about you, are you hurt?"
Zhao Shen knew that she was not only asking about the fall just now, but also about the time they had been apart.
While helping her straighten her messy hair, he said, "It's okay. I brought enough people with me this time, so I hardly did anything myself. Besides, I'm an official appointed by the court, so they don't do anything easily. It's you who has suffered these days."
Seeing his guilty expression, Ji Yunshu quickly said, "That's not a grievance at all. I think it's quite amusing. If I hadn't come, I would never have imagined that a place as small as Southern Xinjiang would have so much intrigue. The chief of the Southern Xinjiang clan is no pushover."
Zhao Shen had someone following her the entire time, and he was well aware of her every move. He couldn't help but say, "The temple is small, but the demons are strong. You're too bold. If any of these people harbor any ill intentions towards you, you'll suffer."
Ji Yunshu said coquettishly, "Don't I have you? With you here, they dare not touch me, and Lin Huixue is no exception."
Although Lin Huixue wanted to kill her from the beginning, he had been operating here for many years. If he really wanted to kill her, it would not be as simple as this.
But on the one hand, he felt it was unnecessary, and on the other hand, he was wary of Zhao Shen.
Zhao Shen kissed her forehead: "I'm really afraid that I can't protect you."
Ji Yunshu hugged him and said with a smile: "Prince should have confidence in himself."
Zhao Shen held her in his arms and whispered, "I've missed you so much these days. Do you miss me?"
Ji Yunshu rarely saw him being so clingy, and pinched his face curiously: "I do."
But she was still more worried about their current situation. "We need to get out of here quickly. I suspect Zhebie is using me to lure you here. Is Lin Huixue planning some action?"
Zhao Shen said dissatisfiedly: "Can you spoil the fun a little more? Don't worry, when I said arrangements were made, I was just waiting for them to take action."
Ji Yunshu asked in surprise: "Do you know what they are going to do?"
Zhao Shen looked at her wide, wide eyes and said with amusement, "That's not hard to guess. Although they are doomed to fail, how could these Miao people accept it without a last-ditch struggle? Lin Huixue has been struggling for so long, so of course she must squeeze out all the value of Southern Xinjiang."
Ji Yunshu sighed: "It's hard for the people."
What is the restoration of the country? Restoring the former glory of Nanzhao.
These are the slogans shouted by the rulers of several major tribes. Ordinary people do not care who rules them, nor do they care much whether they are Daxia or Miao.
In a big city like Xiangcheng, there are both Miao and Daxia people. There are occasional frictions between the two sides, but most of the time they can coexist peacefully.
Zhao Shen said, "After this battle, Southern Xinjiang should be incorporated into Daxia. That's a good idea. We can send a few officials who can get things done here, and slowly the two tribes will merge."
Ji Yunshu also hoped that was the case. This topic was a bit heavy and not something she needed to worry about right now, so she quickly shifted her focus: "By the way, if we fall down like this, what will happen to Bai Ling and the others?"
Zhao Shen said: "Jingzhe and the others have the map of the underground palace on them. Zhebie plotted against us and exposed himself. Jingzhe will not follow him anymore. We will get out by following the map."
Ji Yueshu asked: "In that case, why didn't you just follow the route on the map from the beginning?"
Zhao Shen said, "It's like playing chess. You always have to give others a chance to make their move. How can you know what they're going to do if you don't see?"
Ji Yunshu: "Can't you guess it?"
Zhao Shen was helpless: "I'm not a god, how can I guess everything?"
"What about what he said about being able to cure the poison in your body? Do you think it's true?"
Zhao Shen fell silent. Ji Yunshu didn't hear his reply for a long time, and couldn't help but look up at him.
Zhao Shen's expression was very calm, as if what they were discussing was not a matter concerning his life or death.
Ji Yunshu looked at his expression and her heart sank: "Can't you?"
Zhao Shen saw her staring at him stubbornly, as if demanding an answer. He pursed his lips before saying, "I've already asked the high priest, and he said there's no cure for the Death Gu."
This sentence struck Ji Yunshu's heart like a sharp sword. She didn't know what expression to make, so she smiled and said, "This Gu is called Jueming. It sounds very ominous."
Her smile was uglier than crying. Zhao Shen held her in his arms and said, "Don't be sad. Life and death are determined by fate. Besides, the poison in my body won't take effect for a while. We can still find a way."
