Chapter 307: Making a Falsehood into Reality
Jingzhe said, "I was worried about the safety of the prince and his wife, so I only asked about the mechanism. He said there was an abyss underneath and no one had ever come out alive."
Ji Yunshu couldn't help but exchange a glance with Zhao Shen.
Regardless of whether Zhebie really wanted to kill them, since he used this mechanism, he should be sure that they would not escape easily.
It seemed that he had no idea what was going on down there.
But this doesn't make sense. Since they know this mechanism, it is very likely that this is not the first time it has been used. How could they not know about it?
Yin Shu was also a little puzzled: "So what was going on down there? How did you get back?"
Zhao Shen said succinctly, "There's another level to this mausoleum, and where we landed was a pool of water."
Ji Yunshu didn't know why Zhao Shen said that, but Yin Shu wasn't one of his own, so naturally the fewer people who knew about the treasure, the better.
Yin Shu complained, "You two are lucky."
Zhao Shen also felt that he was lucky, so he did not refute him and just said, "Let's leave here first."
The group circled around in the ancient tomb like this. Because Zhao Shen knew the route, they did not encounter the so-called mechanisms that Zhebie mentioned along the way, and the journey went smoothly.
By the time we came out of the ancient tomb, it was already three o'clock in the night.
Yin Shu asked Zhao Shen, "Where are we going now?"
Zhao Shen pointed at Zhebie who was being held by Jingzhe and said, "Go to Yuxi's tribe."
Yin Shu looked at him meaningfully and said nothing.
Traveling in the middle of the night is not an easy task. In order to take care of Ji Yunshu, Zhao Shen slowed down his pace.
Yin Shu said to Zhao Shen dissatisfiedly, "Do you have any misunderstandings about your wife? She has been running around in the wind and rain these days, and I've never seen her walk so slowly."
Zhao Shen took slow steps and said, "That's because I'm not with her."
Yin Shu discovered that Zhao Shen was like a different person in front of Ji Yunshu.
"If you really care so much, why did you let her come here? Wouldn't it be better for her to live peacefully in the capital as the wife of a prince?"
Zhao Shen looked at Ji Yunshu, a faint smile in his eyes: "She is not a delicate flower that cannot withstand the wind and rain."
Yin Shu pondered his words, and gradually understood why Zhao Shen asked Ji Yunshu to come to Southern Xinjiang.
The person he holds in his hands needs care and also needs to weather the storms.
He didn't say anything else.
After daybreak, they finally arrived at Yu Xi's tribe.
Ji Yunshu went to Zhebie's residence as if he knew the place well, and found another Zhebie lying on the bed.
After meeting Zhebie again, she kept wondering why the people she left here didn't report the news?
Now it seems that the other party has made a fake one lying here.
Sure enough, the people she left behind were also shocked when they saw Zhebie in Jingzhe's hands: "Master, what...what is going on?"
Seeing that he was confused, Ji Yunshu had no choice but to ask, "Have you been guarding here since I left? Has anything unusual happened?"
The man shook his head: "It was my subordinates and Thirteen who took turns guarding here. Nothing unusual happened."
Ji Yunshu thought carefully about what happened before and felt that the sunset in her hands must be Zhebie.
Now that it’s someone else, it must have happened after she left.
"Think carefully, has anyone come here in the past few days? Has he ever been out of your sight?"
She brought very few people this time, but there were many places that needed people, so it was already very difficult to keep two people here.
Under normal circumstances, it is not a big problem for two people to take turns guarding, but in this situation, it is obvious that there is a possibility of an emergency.
She had no intention of getting to the bottom of the matter, but she had to find out how Zhebie left.
Hearing this, the man seemed to recall something. "The day after you left, several people came to visit the clan leader. They brought many people with them, including many experts. I was afraid of being discovered, so I stayed away. Those people stayed for quite a while before leaving."
As he spoke, he realized that it was probably at that time that someone gave Zhebie the drug that made him unconscious, and then replaced the real person with a fake one.
"It is my fault, Master, please punish me."
Ji Yunshu shook his head and said, "After all, this is someone else's territory. They've thought it through, laid out their plans meticulously, and acted swiftly. It's inevitable that you didn't notice."
The man wanted to apologize, but Ji Yunshu waved his hand and said, "You can leave first."
Yin Shu watched the man leave and said thoughtfully, "No wonder Madam dared to go to such a dangerous place alone. She must have someone to rely on."
Ji Yunshu gave her a strange look. "Isn't it normal for me to have guards around me? Why are you being so sarcastic?"
With Yin Shu's ability, how could he not have noticed that someone was following her?
And no matter what his real purpose for coming here is, protecting her should not be just nonsense.
Then how could he be so sure that she would be fine during the time she left the Hongtu tribe?
"The man just now didn't look like a simple guard?"
Although they only met once, he could tell that the man's skills were not inferior to his. Ji Yunshu actually left such a person to guard Zhebie, which meant that there were even more powerful people around her.
No wonder he didn't notice anyone following Ji Yunshu along the way.
Before Ji Yunshu could say anything, Zhao Shen said, "You're meddling too much."
Yin Shu looked him over and said with a smile, "You are so confident in leaving your wife to someone else's care."
Zhao Shen ignored him and turned to ask Ji Yunshu: "What do you want to do with this person?"
Ji Yunshu knew he was referring to Zhebie, and she was a little embarrassed for a moment. She couldn't kill him for the time being, but as long as this person was alive, accidents were inevitable.
The most important thing is that she doesn't want to give up asking Zhebie to cure the poison in Zhao Shen.
Seeing her like this, Zhao Shen knew what she was thinking and said with a smile, "Since he made a fake one himself, let's make it real. He doesn't have any other use anyway, just lie here."
Ji Yunshu agreed with his proposal very much. From now on, Zhebie would be in their hands.
Things in southern Xinjiang would definitely not be over so quickly, and she had plenty of time to ask him what she wanted to know.
She thought for a moment and said, "Qiyun is also in my hands. Should I let her out?"
Qiyun was of no use to her, but she didn't know what Zhao Shen was going to do next.
Zhao Shen said, "Keep her locked up for now. If you let her out, she might cause trouble. If you have time, you can go see her. She should know a lot."
Ji Yunshu nodded. Qiyun was indeed not someone who could be taken lightly.
Yin Shu watched the two of them discuss with great interest. Just a few words decided the outcome for Zhebie and his daughter.
He couldn't help but say, "Now everyone knows that Chief Zhebie was seriously injured by the Crown Prince's wife. If you come to the village openly like this, I'm afraid the people of the Yuxi tribe will not let you go."
Ji Yunshu had almost forgotten about this matter, but Zhao Shen asked calmly, "Zhebie has been unconscious these days. Who is in charge of the village?"
Yin Shu said, "It's nothing more than those elders. This is the rule of the Miao village. Even if the clan leader is fine, important matters in the village are decided together with the elders."
Zhao Shen said, "So the first thing we need to figure out is which elders are in cahoots with Zhebie, which are against him, and which are completely unaware."
