Chapter 465: Delay will lead to changes
These words seemed to breathe life into the withered body of King Mobei, and the pain that made him wish he could die was instantly forgotten.
A radiance rarely seen these days appeared on his face, and his eyes were filled with longing: "I know, that day will come."
Bilige did not reply, but just stood there and looked at him quietly, with unspeakable sarcasm in his eyes.
Soon, King Mobei felt another wave of pain in his body. He collapsed on the bed, gritted his teeth and said, "Antidote, find a way to get the antidote first."
Bilige knew that the King of Mobei wouldn't listen to anything he said at this moment, so he said simply, "Okay, I'll find a way to get the antidote from Wujina as soon as possible."
King Mobei trusted him very much and was relieved to hear this.
He values Bilige more than Wujina because he gave Bilige everything he has, and even now, he cannot do without him if he wants to ascend the throne.
So he was not worried that Bilige would betray him.
It was already late at night when Bilige came out of the palace of the King of Mobei.
He returned to his residence and was keenly aware that there was someone in the house.
After sending the waiters away, he sat down, slowly poured a cup of tea and placed it opposite him, and said calmly, "What's the matter?"
The veiled woman watched him pour the tea gracefully with interest until he spoke, then she emerged from the shadows.
Sitting down opposite Bilige, she held the teacup for a long time without drinking it. Instead, she said, "I'm here to bring you something."
As she said this, she threw something to Bilige.
Bilige, who looked frail to outsiders, raised his hand and steadily grabbed the thing she threw at him, only to find that it was a piece of paper.
He unfolded it and looked up, then asked, "Defense map? Real or fake?"
The woman shook her head: "The one sent by the Liu family earlier fell into Zhao Shen's hands. This one was just delivered. It should be genuine, but Zhao Shen is very cunning and we have to be on guard."
Bilige carefully examined the map in his hand and pondered, "Zhao Shen is unfamiliar with the North and has never led troops in battle. He couldn't have known we were planning to use the defense map. It stands to reason that he couldn't have produced a fake one so quickly."
The woman said indifferently, "Don't forget, his wife is Ji Changlin's daughter, and she's not the type to settle down. Who knows if Ji Changlin has someone he can use for her?"
Bilige thought of the wife of the prince of Changxing whom he had met in Daxia, and fell into deep thought for a moment.
It was rare for him to not understand someone, but he was indeed a little unclear about what kind of person that lady was.
At least on the surface, she looked no different from any ordinary lady from a wealthy family in Daxia.
But the information he received from all sides told him to be careful of that lady.
He examined the picture in his hand. "So, we spent so much effort to get this picture, but we can't even confirm its authenticity?"
The woman shrugged. "That depends on your ability. If you can't even tell whether a picture is real or fake, how can you be so confident that you can defeat Ji Changlin?"
Bilige's eyes darkened for a moment, but he was a man who could keep his composure. He looked at the person opposite him and asked, "You came here in person for more than just a picture, right?"
The woman said, "This picture cost the Liu family its life. Isn't that enough to be valued?"
Bilige smiled: "If Zhao Shen hadn't intervened, if this picture could be confirmed to be real, then it would indeed be very important, but now..."
Seeing that he didn't put all his hopes on this picture, the woman said with admiration, "You're right. I came here to tell you that you must act quickly. Delay will lead to unexpected consequences."
Bilige was surprised: "What happened?"
The woman said, "This picture exposes the person we have planted next to Ji Changlin. Although they haven't confirmed who it is yet, with our precautions, they will be found out sooner or later. Then some things won't go smoothly."
Bilige frowned: "Didn't we agree to attack Ji Changlin and his son first?"
The woman shook her head. "So far, I haven't found any opportunity. That's why I asked you to act quickly. Once the war starts, you might find a loophole."
Bilige was a little hesitant. He didn't have the confidence to fight Daxia head-on.
And if the war does not go well from the start, the voices opposing the war in Mobei will become louder, which will be very disadvantageous to him.
The woman seemed to understand his hesitation and smiled, "Don't worry, Ji Changlin, we will definitely resolve it. Besides, it has come to this point. The longer we delay, the worse it will be for us. If Zhao Shen reacts, it will be a big problem."
Bilige narrowed his eyes and asked, "Ji Changlin is fine. A general commander is heavily guarded, so it's not that easy to kill him. But Zhao Shen is in Mobei King City now. I guess he doesn't have many people around him. Can't we take this opportunity to stop him?"
The woman sneered, "Do you think we haven't tried? Do you know how many people we lost in our attempt to assassinate him? If you have the confidence, you can give it a try."
After saying this, she stood up and said unhappily, "Although he is now in the Mobei Royal Court, it's a pity that you are not in charge here. With your good sister protecting him, are you sure you can kill him?"
"He and Wujina..."
"As far as I know, Princess Wujina has a very good relationship with his wife. The place they are staying now was provided by the princess. Instead of dealing with him, you should deal with the princess first."
After saying that, the woman jumped out of the window.
The room returned to silence.
Ji Yunshu had been keeping an eye on the defense map. After receiving the news from Huo Cong, he learned that the map had been successfully replaced, and he happily reported the good news to Zhao Shen.
Zhao Shen praised her a few words, but his face did not look very happy.
Ji Yunshu was sitting next to him. Seeing this, he poked his face in dissatisfaction and asked, "What's with that expression?"
Zhao Shen grabbed her hand that was rubbing against his face and patiently explained, "If it weren't for this incident with Mi Jian and the Liu family, this map would have been very useful. But knowing that we already knew the defense map had been leaked, Bilige wouldn't have believed it completely even if he had the real map."
Ji Yunshu thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case. He said with some disappointment, "You knew this a long time ago, so you didn't pay much attention to this matter from the beginning, and only handed it over to me now?"
Zhao Shen said, "That's not the case. I really don't have time to do this. I'm leaving it to you because I know you can do it. Although the replaced pictures won't have the same effect, they're still hard to tell the real from the fake, and they can still confuse people. I've already sent the fake pictures to Big Brother, and he knows how to use them."
Ji Yunshu asked in surprise, "You've contacted my eldest brother? When was the letter delivered?"
Zhao Shen said, "I brought you to such a dangerous place, so naturally I have to write home from time to time to let you know you're safe. Don't worry, it won't be long."
Ji Yunshu sensed a storm was about to come from his words.
I couldn't help but ask: "What's going to happen?"
