Chapter 318: How are you?
Ji Yunshu then asked, "Did he take people to intercept Chen Shan? Should we go and take a look?"
Zhao Shen shook his head and said, "Regardless of whether Lu Ying can deal with those people in the mountain village, with the help of Chief Luoge, the team that Chen Shan took away should be no problem. Let's go meet Lin Huixue."
When Yin Shu heard this, his eyes lit up: "Could this be the date of Lin Huixue's death?"
Ji Yunshu could hear the excitement in his tone and couldn't help but ask, "Do you have any deep hatred with Lin Huixue?"
Yin Shu's eyes flickered as he asked, "Aren't you afraid that he'll cause you trouble again if he survives?"
Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "So you are not only responsible for my current safety, but also worried about my future safety?"
Yin Shu said, "Yes, since I have protected you for such a long time, I naturally hope that you will live well."
Although he knew that he was trying to hide his mistake, Ji Yunshu still said, "Thank you very much."
As they walked and talked, Zhao Shen suddenly pulled Ji Yunshu and said, "Don't just talk, watch your step."
Ji Yunshu looked down and found that he had almost stepped into a mud pit. He couldn't help but poke Zhao Shen's waist: "Did you do this on purpose?"
She followed Zhao Shen all the way and didn't even look at the road.
If Zhao Shen hadn't done it on purpose, how could she have happened to walk to the edge of the mud pit?
Zhao Shen said seriously, "The road here is difficult to walk on. In order not to alert the enemy, we have to put out the torches, so you'd better be careful."
Ji Yunshu: “…”
She found that Zhao Shen was sometimes really petty. He knew that she and Yin Shu were just chatting nonsense, but he still deliberately made trouble.
After walking for a while, Ji Yunshu could no longer tell which way was which. Zhao Shen really asked people to extinguish all the torches and continue walking.
Zhao Shen didn't stop until they reached a valley not far from the village.
Under the dim moonlight, Ji Yunshu once again witnessed the scene of a group of snakes dancing wildly.
Before they got close, the snakes were already moving restlessly.
Ji Yunshu suddenly felt that Zhao Shen was so far-sighted that he actually transferred people from the Yaohui tribe.
At the same time, everyone is clear about the status quo of the tribes in southern Xinjiang.
Even if the people of Yaohui tribe encounter a snake, they should be able to deal with it.
There was a faint sound of a flute coming, Ji Yunshu looked at Zhao Shen, Zhao Shen was obviously prepared, and also took out a flute and started playing.
It was the first time that Ji Yunshu heard him play the flute, and he pricked up his ears to listen carefully.
But the music he produced was a discordant and harsh sound.
Because she was so close, she immediately covered her ears.
But the effect was obvious. The snakes soon showed that they could not bear it and retreated one after another.
Ji Yunshu breathed a sigh of relief. Although she had encountered the same dangerous situation before, she felt very safe with Zhao Shen by her side.
Zhao Shen did not let anyone move forward, but instead ordered them to set fire.
Ji Yunshu was a little worried: "Isn't this bad?"
Because this place is sparsely populated, it is still in its most original state and the scenery is very beautiful.
If the fire can't be put out, everything will be ruined.
Zhao Shen seemed to know what she was thinking. He rubbed her head and said, "Don't worry. I've checked. There's no wind today. The terrain here is low and there are shelters on all sides. The fire won't spread to the surrounding areas."
Ji Yunshu didn't say anything else, but she didn't expect that before Zhao Shen's men had time to set the fire, someone came out of the valley.
Lin Huixue stood in the moonlight in white, looking like a fallen immortal.
He looked at Zhao Shen with a complicated expression, and after a long while he finally said, "Prince Zhao, how are you?"
Zhao Shen said calmly, "Only if Master Lin shows mercy can I be safe."
Lin Huixue looked at the valley she had emerged from and said, "Given the current situation, I should beg the prince to show mercy."
Zhao Shen said impatiently, "Young Master, if you have any other cards, please bring them out, or I will take action."
Lin Huixue laughed: "There's no result on the mountain yet, why is Prince Zhao so anxious?"
Zhao Shen said, "The outcome on the mountain is no longer important. Master Lin, do you have any last words?"
Lin Huixue looked at Zhao Shen and said bluntly, "I lost this time. I really didn't expect you to send reinforcements in such a short time. But is it appropriate for Prince Zhao to collude with the people of Southern Xinjiang at this time?"
Zhao Shen said nonchalantly, "This is my business, so I won't bother you, Master Lin."
Lin Huixue said leisurely, "I didn't want to bother with this originally, but Prince Zhao, have you ever thought about what the people in the court would think if the news that you are a descendant of the Nanzhao royal family spread to the capital at this time?"
Zhao Shen was not moved by his words at all: "What evidence do you have?"
Lin Huixue asked, "Your Highness, you don't really think that Yao has been in the Marquis' Mansion for so many years and has gained nothing, right?"
Zhao Shen said indifferently, "She may not have gained nothing, but so what? Her son's surname is Zhao now. The crime you want to frame me with will implicate the entire family. She will not hand over the so-called evidence to you."
Even though he hated Yao, Zhao Shen had to admit that she was the smartest and most patient person he had ever met.
She would never produce this so-called important evidence unless she could guarantee the safety of herself and her son.
If not for this, Lin Huixue would not be so anxious to let Qiyun kidnap Ji Yunshu and then sneak into the Marquis' Mansion.
Lin Huixue sighed, "The Crown Prince is so powerful, it's really frightening. But if you have such ability, why don't you help your own people? You are a descendant of the Nanzhao royal family. If you raise your arms in southern Xinjiang, you can attract countless followers. Wouldn't it be better to declare yourself king than to be a subject in Daxia?"
Ji Yunshu was very impressed after hearing his words.
She found that she had really underestimated Lin Huixue. Although this person would do anything to achieve his goals, most of the tactics he used were overt.
Just like at this moment, he was openly persuading Zhao Shen to rebel against the court.
Zhao Shen said without hesitation, "Master Lin thinks too highly of me. I do not have the ability to establish myself as king, nor do I have the ambition to do so. Master, there is no need to delay any longer. The person you are waiting for will not come."
How could Lin Huixue not know that with Zhao Shen's determination, what he said was useless.
He was just stalling for time.
But Zhao Shen was not in the mood to chat with him about his ideals and ambitions here in the middle of the night.
He was worried that Ji Yunshu would catch a cold.
Lin Ruxue wasn't surprised to hear his words, but she said with a bit of disappointment, "It seems I've completely lost this round. Losing to an opponent like the prince isn't unfair to me, but I'm afraid the prince will have to spare my life."
Zhao Shen raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean?"
Lin Huixue gritted her teeth and said, "I have evidence of General Ji colluding with the people of Southern Xinjiang. If I die here, the evidence will appear in the capital. Then, whether the emperor believes it or not, he will not be able to protect the Ji family."
