Chapter 449: Mi Jian is dead
Liu Yan shuddered when she heard this. She was sent to Mobei, so she was not completely unaware of what was going on at home.
But she didn't think it was that serious before.
The emperor is far away and the Liu family is a big family. Even the local government dare not provoke them.
Although their branch has a low status, they have a steady supply of money through business over the years, and even their direct descendants cannot be looked down upon.
It is not easy to trade with the people of Mobei. Which of those caravans does business peacefully?
So she never thought there was anything wrong with what was done at home.
Until this moment, Ji Yunshu's words of treason made her hair stand on end.
There is also Mi Jian who is already dead on the ground.
She had a feeling that the Liu family would not be able to escape this time.
But thinking about how Ji Yunshu didn't kill her directly like he did to Sha Mijian.
Liu Yan forced herself to calm down: "What do you want?"
Ji Yunshu admired her a little bit. It was not easy for her to remain rational at this time.
"You are so smart, how could you not guess what I want?"
Ji Yunshu smiled.
Liu Yan was about to say something when suddenly there was chaos outside.
Ji Yunshu said no more and knocked Liu Yan unconscious with a knife. Dongzhi, who was hiding in the dark, came over and picked her up in his hands.
He followed the chaotic crowd and left Mi Jian's mansion.
The people outside took them to a courtyard in the center of the city.
When Ji Yunshu entered, Wujina was sitting in the hall drinking tea.
Seeing her come in, he looked her up and down before saying, "It seems that things are going well."
Ji Yunshu was actually a little nervous. She was not a professional killer. Although she had seen many dead people here and had taken action herself, this was the first time she had assassinated someone in person.
The feeling of hot blood splattering on her face made her breathless.
Now that she was in a safe environment, she relaxed, feeling slightly tired.
He found a cushion and sat down, saying calmly, "Yes, it went smoothly. Mi Jian is dead."
Wujina looked at her and asked, "Are you in a bad mood?"
Ji Yunshu shook his head: "Not really, I just don't like killing people myself."
Wujina threw a jar of wine at her and said, "Killing is indeed not a happy thing. My hands were shaking after the first killing. I drank a jar of wine and fell asleep, and everything was fine."
Ji Yunshu raised his hand to catch the wine jar she threw over: "How old were you then?"
Wujina tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said uncertainly, "When I was about five or six years old, someone tried to assassinate me, but I killed him with a dagger I had hidden on my body."
She looked at Ji Yunshu and smiled, "I haven't told anyone about this."
Ji Yunshu opened the wine jar and took a sip. It was the same wine he drank in the restaurant that day. It rolled through his throat and internal organs like fire, and it really made people relax.
"What are you going to do after Mi Jian dies?"
Wujina leaned back, resting her hands on the back of her head, and said softly, "Of course, we need to choose a less belligerent leader for the Yanhui tribe as soon as possible."
Ji Yunshu: "I heard that your royal family can't interfere in the affairs of the tribes."
Wujina sneered: "You believe such words?"
Ji Yunshu pondered her tone, and a thought suddenly occurred to him: "Do you want to unify Mobei?"
Mobei is now only unified in name, but in reality each tribe is independent of itself.
Many tribal leaders simply refused to listen to the orders of the King of Mobei.
This is also why the King of Mobei is eager to start a war, but is not ready yet.
This kind of fragmented situation is indeed difficult to manage.
Ji Yunshu vaguely felt that Wujina might not really be unable to deal with Bilige before, after all, his body was a fatal flaw.
She just wanted to take this opportunity to disrupt and reorganize Mobei and clean up those disobedient people.
Wujina was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "You are really smart."
Ji Yunshu was a little surprised by her confession: "Just tell me like that?"
Wu Rina said, "I didn't intend to tell you. I know your attitude towards Mobei. You wish we would remain a loose sand forever and never become powerful. But you are different. You have no hostility towards the people of Mobei."
Ji Yunshu passed by several tribes along the way and indeed had no hostility towards the ordinary people of Mobei.
Compared with the people of Daxia, they live a harder life, but they still work hard.
They also treated passing caravans warmly and sincerely.
"Isn't that why you told me?"
Ji Yunshu didn't think that someone like Wujina would reveal her hidden secret just because of such a small difference.
Wujina actually likes Ji Yunshu very much. Unlike her, Ji Yunshu is a girl who was truly spoiled when she grew up, but she does not have the arrogance of the girls raised in the aristocratic families of Daxia.
She has ability but no ambition.
For those who live at the center of power, people like Ji Yunshu are rare.
Wu Rina looked up at the rooftop and said sadly, "Maybe I've kept it in my heart for too long and want to talk about it. If Zhao Shen were here, I would never dare to express these thoughts."
"He is my husband, there are no secrets between us."
Ji Yunshu said seriously.
She did not have much hostility towards the people of Mobei, but this was because she was detached from this world.
She will definitely tell Zhao Shen the key things.
She trusted Zhao Shen's judgment of the current situation more than her own.
Wujina was not worried at all. Instead, she asked her curiously, "Really? You won't hide anything from him?"
Ji Yunshu: “…”
How to explain this? She was hiding something from Zhao Shen, but she felt that this was not the same as what Wujina said.
So she nodded solemnly.
Wujina smiled noncommittally and said nothing more.
Ji Yunshu took a few sips of wine before asking again, "By the way, what are you doing here?"
Wu Rina: "I have to ensure your safety. You don't think that if Mi Jian is dead, there will be no movement outside, right?"
Ji Yunshu certainly wouldn't be so naive, but what use could Wujina be before she made a public appearance, someone who was supposed to be dead?
Or rather, she is now even more unfit to be seen than herself.
If someone really finds out about this, can she help stop it?
Wu Jina understood what she meant and rolled her eyes. "Even if something really happened, there's no need for me to show up. I just want to wait for the follow-up. Why hasn't your husband come back yet? Could he have run into some trouble?"
Ji Yunshu was also worried about Zhao Shen. Mi Jian had just met with Liu Ze, so he should have come back earlier than her.
The two looked at each other in surprise. One of the people Wujina sent out to gather information came back.
Wujina stood up and asked, "How's Mijian F doing?"
The man glanced at Ji Yunshu and saw that she was drinking from the wine jar without any reaction. His princess also had no objection.
He lowered his head and replied, "Lord Mi Jian is dead. Someone set fire to his mansion. The fire was huge and it took a lot of effort to put it out. Now people are being sent to track down the assassin. It's a real mess."
