Chapter 308: A Smart and Powerful Woman
"This is a troublesome matter." Yin Shu sighed, and seeing Zhao Shen looking at him, he took a step back. "Why are you looking at me? I'm not your man, so I won't do anything for you."
Zhao Shen said, "You are well aware of the current situation in Southern Xinjiang. If you are not one of my people, then I can only treat you as an enemy."
Yin Shu said angrily, "I've protected your wife all the way, and you're just destroying the bridge after crossing it."
Zhao Shen smiled and said, "It is because of my gratitude that I did not leave you in the ancient tomb."
After he said this, Yin Shu became even more angry: "I was captured in the ancient tomb because of you."
Zhao Shen nodded. "I guaranteed your safety and brought you out of the ancient tomb, so we're even now."
Bullshit clearing of ties.
Yin Shu always felt that he had suffered a loss, but he couldn't say it.
After all, it was not Zhao Shen's request that he protect Ji Yunshu.
I could only say aggrievedly: "I'll do it, okay? I've never seen anyone as dark as you."
As he said that, he flashed out of the room. Ji Yunshu looked at his disappearing figure and asked, "Why on earth did he come to protect me?"
Ji Yunshu didn’t know about the rest, but what Yin Shu said about taking the deal to protect her seemed to be true.
Something flashed in Zhao Shen's dark eyes, and he said calmly, "It's just a coincidence. If he doesn't leave at this time, he must have a purpose."
Seeing that he didn't want to talk, Ji Yunshu didn't ask any more questions. Since Yin Shu was not around, she could ask about the things that were difficult to say just now.
"How long will we stay here? How will we deal with the affairs of the Yuxi tribe?"
At present, except for the tribe leader Zhebie who provided the poison, no other people in the Yuxi tribe participated in the war. Ji Yunshu felt that Zhebie and Lin Huixue must have other transactions.
Under such circumstances, even if the Hongtu tribe was defeated, it would not be good to implicate the Yuxi tribe.
However, Ji Yunshu didn't believe that the people of Yuxi's tribe really had no ambition to restore their country.
Zhao Shen rubbed her head and said with a smile, "Aren't you worried that we will lose?"
"Didn't you say you had everything planned? How could I possibly lose with you here? Oh, and you still haven't told me what exactly you planned?"
Zhao Shen had no choice but to tell her in detail what he had done after coming to Southern Xinjiang.
"Before I came here, I got some information from Concubine Yi. After checking, I found that what she said was basically true. The three major tribes in Southern Xinjiang, Yuxi and Hongtu, are restless. Only the Yaohui tribe really doesn't want to get involved in this."
Ji Yunshu pondered, "I was also wondering why the Yaohui tribe hadn't made any moves. But isn't it hard to survive in this kind of situation? Even if they truly have no ambitions at all, it's hard for them not to be coerced by the other two tribes, right?"
Zhao Shen nodded. "Of course, they keep a low profile simply because they lack strength. The clan leader is a smart man. He knows that even if they restore their country, their life will not be any better than it is now, so he is not tempted."
Ji Yunshu probably understood what he meant: "You teamed up with the Yaohui tribe?"
Zhao Shen said, "It was Concubine Yi. She told me everything she knew, including the cooperation between the Yuxi and Hongtu tribes and Prince Yong's Mansion. The condition was to protect the Yaohui tribe."
Ji Yunshu sighed: "What a smart and powerful woman."
Compared to Ning Huanyi, who is insightful about the world and bold in doing things, Qiyun seems like she is just playing house.
Zhao Shen smiled and said, "It's really impressive. Prince Yong has good vision."
Ji Yunshu couldn't help but laugh when he heard him say that: "It's more than good, it's simply great."
If someone like Ning Huanyi is truly loyal to Prince Yong, she will indeed be a great help.
"She's already on Prince Yong's boat and pregnant with his child. According to Prince Yong's plan, he should help her child ascend to the throne, and she will then be the Queen Mother of Daxia. No one in their right mind would refuse such a temptation, so it's no wonder Prince Yong trusts her."
In fact, he was not entirely reassured, after all, the matter was of great importance, so he let her poison the emperor as a test.
But even so, King Yong had already handed over a lot of initiative to her.
After all, she and the baby in her belly are the key to the success of the whole plan.
Zhao Shen: "That's why she's so smart. The Emperor asked her this question before, and she said she didn't want someone like Prince Yong, who brought chaos to the world and disregarded the lives of the people to achieve his own goals, to succeed."
Ji Yunshu exclaimed: "She sounds like a woman with a sense of justice."
Zhao Shen said, "Just listen to this kind of talk. She must have seen that Prince Yong's ambitions were difficult to achieve, so she chose to surrender. How could someone like her, with the safety of her clan at stake, easily gamble?"
"That's quite understanding. Did she tell you what your ring is used for?"
Ji Yunshu always felt that the ring was very important, otherwise Prince Yong would not have asked Yao to sneak into the Changxing Marquis Mansion to look for it more than 20 years ago.
Zhao Shen said, "She said it was a symbol of the Nanzhao royal family's status, and that the ring could verify royal bloodline. Of course, for Prince Yong, it was leverage over the Changxing Marquisate."
Ji Yunshu was unable to put it into words, "He wouldn't use this to control you and make you do things for him, would he?"
Zhao Shen said, "He probably thought so at first, but he didn't realize that my grandfather hadn't concealed the fact that my grandmother was a Nanzhao princess from the late emperor. He even surrendered his military power for this purpose and instructed the family that no descendants of the Changxing Marquisate would be allowed to meddle in military power in the future, especially not in matters related to Southern Xinjiang."
Ji Yunshu finally understood why the Marquis of Changxing Mansion, which was awarded for military merit, had all switched to the path of civil servants during Zhao Shen's father's generation.
Zhao Shen's grandfather was truly amazing. He used a marriage to perfectly solve the problem of his excessive military achievements, handed over the hot military power, and took the initiative to give the emperor a handle, thus ensuring the safety of his descendants.
The genes of Marquis Changxing are really good, and he can produce talented people in both literature and martial arts.
She couldn't help but sigh: "Our future children will definitely be very smart."
Zhao Shen: “…”
He seemed to be talking about his grandfather, how did it get involved with the child?
But now that it was brought up, he pursed his lips and said, "Don't you want children?"
"I'm just scared. I just don't want it for now. I didn't say I don't want it. How could I not want to have a child as smart and beautiful as you?"
Zhao Shen was completely helpless with her: "It would be better if the child looked like you. Being smart and pretty is not necessarily a good thing."
Ji Yunshu glared at him: "What do you mean, I'm not smart, not pretty?"
Zhao Shen: "I meant you're very good, better than me, that's not what you said."
As the two were talking, Yin Shu came back. He had obviously heard what they were saying and said to Zhao Shen in dissatisfaction, "You are still not a human being. You order me to work like a slave while you are here laughing and having fun."
Zhao Shen raised an eyebrow and looked at him: "So, have you figured out what I asked you to investigate?"
Yin Shu sat down and took a sip of water. "Be a human being. What can you do in such a short time? I've asked someone to investigate. There should be results soon."
At this point, he sneered: "Don't tell me you don't know."
Zhao Shen hasn't shown up for so many days, so it's not like he hasn't done anything.
Zhao Shen did not deny his words: "We are unfamiliar with this place, so it is better to be cautious."
Yin Shu: Am I here to cover for you?
