Chapter 440 You Are Really My Nemesis
Zhao Shen held her and sat down beside her before he slowly said, "In the eyes of aristocratic families, as long as their children are capable, everything else is not a problem. Although Liu Ze is the legitimate son, he is not the eldest son, so it is normal for him to have some problems."
"He killed several innocent women, and you call that normal?"
It's not like Ji Yunshu had never seen dead people before when he came to this place, but he still found it difficult to accept such things.
It seems that no matter how hard ordinary people try, they will still easily die at the hands of others.
Zhao Shen looked at Ji Yunshu, his eyes filled with inexplicable emotions.
She is still the same, no matter what she goes through, she always maintains a sincere heart.
She couldn't stand the injustice in the world, and couldn't accept that someone died because of her.
"That's Yanagisawa's nature. Those people's deaths are not your fault."
He comforted Ji Yunshu softly.
Being coaxed by him like this, Ji Yunshu could no longer hide the emotions that he had suppressed in front of Dongzhi.
She nestled into Zhao Shen's arms and said sadly, "I also told myself that it was Liu Ze who killed them, but in the end, Liu Ze did this because I drugged him."
Zhao Shen said, "He was the one who first harbored evil intentions towards you, and I was the one who gave you the drug. And you don't know Liu Ze. He has some peculiar habits, and even when he wasn't drugged, he killed people quite a few times. I'll make sure he can't harm anyone again, so don't blame yourself."
His words made Ji Yunshu feel at ease: "I don't blame myself, I'm just a little sad. It's hard enough for people in this world to just live, why do we have to run into someone like Liu Ze?"
Zhao Shen couldn't answer such a question either. In the eyes of the children of the powerful, the lives of ordinary people were worthless. Who would really care?
There is only one Ji Yunshu, who foolishly values every life and hopes that everyone lives well.
She is such a wonderful person, with the purest kindness in the world.
"Then let's work hard to make sure there are fewer people like Yanagisawa in the world."
Even if it is just to make the person in his arms less sad, he is willing to work hard to make this world a better place.
"It's so kind of you."
Ji Yunshu was very glad that he met Zhao Shen.
Someone who has the ability and the willingness to change everything.
Zhao Shen kissed her forehead and began to talk business: "Bilige hasn't returned yet, and Wujina is also hiding in the dark, but Mobei must have sensed something. The situation in the royal court is a bit tense now. The screening of outsiders is very strict. It is a good choice for you to follow the Liu family into the city."
Ji Yunshu raised an eyebrow: "Do you already know who the Mobei dignitary is who is collaborating with the Liu family?"
Zhao Shen nodded. "He is the leader of the Yanhui tribe in Mobei and a close confidant of the King of Mobei. He is brave and good at fighting, and he is a troublemaker."
Ji Yunshu's eyes flashed: "The Liu family is planning to give Liu Yan to him?"
Zhao Shen said, "Indeed, he was born a slave, but through his own strength, and with the support of the King of Mobei, he took the leadership of the Yanhui tribe. He is only thirty-two years old now, and although he has a son, he is still unmarried."
Ji Yunshu felt that the people of Mobei were extremely contradictory. They clearly valued bloodline, but they could have children with anyone.
Many tribes still retain some primitive habits.
"So, Liu Yan has no chance of becoming his legal wife?"
Zhao Shen seemed to know something and said with a smile, "There are few people in Mobei, and they often fight wars. The young and strong are exhausted, so the tribe encourages childbirth. As long as children are born and raised, they will become labor and combat power, but this only applies to ordinary people."
Ji Yunshu nodded. "I understand. Commoners' rules don't apply to nobles. That's why Wujina has the right to inherit the throne, but ordinary girls struggle to even survive. You know what Liu Yan wants to do. Let me go. If we can eliminate this Yanhui leader in one fell swoop, it will save Dad and Big Brother a lot of trouble."
Zhao Shen didn't want to agree, but when he looked into Ji Yunshu's dark eyes, which were full of pleading, he couldn't say no.
He rubbed Ji Yunshu's head and smiled bitterly, "You are really my nemesis. I swore before that I would never let you fall into danger again. But when the time comes, I always let you take risks. And I can't refuse you."
When Ji Yunshu heard that he didn't refuse, she smiled and said, "This is what I wanted to do. I'm very happy that you respect my opinion."
Zhao Shen said helplessly: "If you scratch your skin this time, I'm afraid my father-in-law and elder brother will not forgive me."
Ji Yunshu touched his cheek lovingly. Although the Mobei sun didn't tan him much, his skin still felt a little rougher than before.
"I believe that if I'm injured, you must be more seriously injured than me. They all agreed to my coming here, so how can they blame you for everything that happened?"
Zhao Shen really wanted to say that parental love was unreasonable, but at this moment Ji Yunshu was also protecting him unreasonably.
So he said nothing, but just said: "Anyway, I can't beat Father and Big Brother together. For my sake, you must protect yourself."
Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "You know I brought a lot of treasures with me this time. Self-protection is not a problem, and killing people is no problem either. You also sent Dongzhi to protect me personally. No one can hurt me."
Zhao Shen arranged everything he could for Ji Yunshu. After thinking it over again and realizing there were indeed no loopholes, he said, "Then you must be very careful."
Ji Yunshu said, "You should be the one who's careful. If you gave Dongzhi to me, wouldn't you be short of manpower?"
Zhao Shen shook his head. "No, my people didn't want to be exposed anyway, so it's just right for them to protect you in secret. The emperor sent someone to me, and the most important thing is that Huo Cong's people have been hiding in the royal city for years. They are very familiar with this place and don't attract attention, so they are the best to use."
Ji Yunshu: “…”
The most important thing is that since they are not your own people, you won’t feel bad about using them, right?
"Have you gained Huo Cong's trust? Did he tell you about his brother's death?"
She vaguely felt that this matter was very important.
Zhao Shen shook his head. "Not yet. It's hard to tell him my identity. He won't trust me if I tell him before I do anything. It's better to take it slow. He's been waiting for more than ten years without any rush, so I won't be in a hurry either."
Ji Yunshu twitched his lips. "You're really patient. Aren't you afraid that Huo Cong will suddenly turn against you and help the Mobei people deal with you?"
Zhao Shen laughed and said, "He won't. Even if he does, he doesn't even know who I am. What can he do?"
His identity was hidden very well. Just like Liu Yan could never guess who Ji Yunshu was, Huo Chong could not guess his true identity either.
Because in the eyes of these people, they should not appear in Mobei under any circumstances.
Ordinary betrayal could not do anything to him. Huo Cong was a smart man and would not do such a stupid thing.
More importantly, he had investigated Huo Cong's actions in Mobei over the years and found that he had not committed any crime.
He only robbed people from Mobei, and those were the great nobles of Mobei.
It is because this person has a very strict bottom line that he would seek cooperation with him.
As for the compensation he could pay, Huo Chong would never be able to imagine it.
