Chapter 479 The Biggest Stumbling Block
They were able to cooperate because they had a common enemy.
But putting that aside, they themselves are enemies.
Zhao Shen was too unfathomable, and she was afraid that he would take advantage of the opportunity to do something.
However, compared to Mobei, Zhao Shen should be more concerned about the upcoming war on the border.
He has been setting up the plan for so long, he probably doesn't want any complications to arise.
Helian Ye always knew that his brain was not as good as Wujina's, so he did not question Wujina's words and immediately sent someone to deliver the message.
When Zhao Shen received the letter, the news of King Mobei's death had spread throughout the entire royal city.
At the same time, how the King of Mobei died also became a topic of discussion among the people in the royal city.
As Wujina expected, as soon as Bilige left the royal court, he spread the news that she had poisoned the king to death.
Helian Ye also acted quickly. Soon the news that the King of Mobei was killed by the fifth prince Bilige and had fled for fear of punishment was announced.
Compared with Bilige, Wujina occupies a more advantageous position.
Once the King of Mobei passes away, she will be the rightful heir to the throne.
Wujina knew that the King of Mobei should have given Bilige a decree of succession before his death, but unless Bilige could really defeat Daxia and bring back the elite troops he had hidden in secret.
Otherwise, no one would recognize even the decree of succession from the King of Mobei.
This is also the reason why Bilige would abandon the royal court and leave so easily.
He and the King of Mobei spent a long time planning this war. As long as they won, he could take Youzhou of Daxia.
By then, the chances of winning the counterattack against Mobei will be much greater than they are now.
Zhao Shen lit the letter and threw it into the incense burner, then said to Ji Yunshu, "It's time for us to leave."
Ji Yunshu: "It's not that easy to leave."
In this battle, Bilige will probably use all means to win.
She and Zhao Shen are his biggest stumbling blocks.
Zhao Shen nodded: "Let's go slowly, we are not the ones who should be anxious now."
Ji Yunshu was speechless. It was only because the other party was anxious that they would be more likely to kill them.
However, she knew Zhao Shen should have made all the arrangements, so she wasn't worried. She just asked, "Should we still disguise ourselves as merchants and leave?"
All the goods they brought with them were taken away by Wujina. She offered a high price, so Ji Yunshu made a deal with her very readily.
Now that they were about to return, Ji Yunshu felt that there was nothing wrong with continuing to pretend to be a merchant. She had bought a lot of things these days, which could all serve as goods.
Zhao Shen said, "We're pretending to be merchants. Everyone with the right information knows that the two countries are about to go to war. Many merchants doing business in Mobei Royal City are returning to Daxia these days. We can blend in without being conspicuous."
Ji Yunshu frowned and said, "I'm afraid there will be a lot of spies among them, right?"
Once the two countries go to war, the Daxia people in Mobei will inevitably be implicated. Being bullied is a small matter, but no one will care if they are killed by the Mobei people who hate the Daxia people.
So if there is any way, these people will try their best to return to Daxia before the war breaks out.
But there will inevitably be spies among them.
Zhao Shen said: "There is no way around this."
This kind of thing cannot be prevented. In order to conduct strict investigations, these people are often locked outside the city gate and cannot go back.
But real spies often have their own ways to sneak in.
Ji Yunshu also understood this truth. When war breaks out, ordinary people are always the first to suffer.
With Wujina's help, they quickly packed up their things and disguised themselves as a caravan with the people they brought with them and left the Mobei Royal City.
After that, he slowly walked back to Youzhou.
They stayed in Mobei for more than a month, and it was already approaching October.
The climate in Mobei suddenly turned cold.
That afternoon they encountered a tribe, and Ji Yunshu decided to stop here to rest for a night before continuing on.
The tribes in Mobei are far apart. If they miss this place to stay, they will have to sleep in the wilderness again.
As soon as she proposed it, Zhao Shen agreed immediately.
Liu Yan disguised herself as a little maid and followed Ji Yunshu. After they settled down in the tent, she helped pack up their things.
She asked in confusion, "Shouldn't we hurry back to Daxia? It's still early today, and we can still make the journey in half a day."
In fact, it's not just today. They have been on the journey for several days. Other caravans along the way are galloping, fearing that the two countries will fight and they will not be able to return.
But Ji Yunshu was very pampered. She kept complaining about being tired along the way, and Zhao Shen indulged her without limits, which slowed down their journey.
Ji Yunshu said confidently, "Those people are hurrying on their way because they're afraid they won't be able to return. We don't have to worry. My father will send someone to pick them up. A few days later won't be a big deal."
Liu Yan: "But will this cause trouble for the general?"
Ji Yunshu gave her a strange look and said, "What's the trouble with this? Besides, I'm his daughter. Isn't it my responsibility to trouble him?"
She was too self-righteous and it was obvious that she had been brought up in pampering.
She also married a husband who loved her.
He is so lucky that it makes people jealous.
Liu Yan gritted her teeth: "...Madam is right."
She helped Ji Yunshu settle down and then left tactfully.
Ji Yunshu went out to look for Zhao Shen. Seeing Zhao Shen arranging defenses, he walked over and asked, "Will there be trouble tonight?"
Zhao Shen shook his head: "It's hard to say. They want to hit the target with one strike, so they will take us by surprise. We must not be careless at any time."
Ji Yunshu was too lazy to listen to his nonsense. She always felt that Zhao Shen knew when the other party would take action.
She looked out into the distance, gazing at the grassland, which seemed endless, much like many places they had seen along the way.
But they had camped in the wilderness before, and she didn't think Zhao Shen was really worried that she wouldn't get enough rest, so he stopped here.
So I asked, “What’s so special about this place?”
Zhao Shen was helpless: "Nothing special. If I must say something, it's probably because this tribe didn't exist here before."
Ji Yunshu was puzzled. "Isn't this surprising? Many small tribes like this in Mobei live from place to place, moving from place to place. A small tribe like this with less than a hundred people wouldn't dare to provoke other tribes, so it's normal for them to be remote."
That's right, because of Ji Yunshu's willfulness, they did not follow the fixed route and had already deviated from the planned path.
The location of this small tribe is really remote.
Zhao Shen said: "Maybe, but when we go out, it's always better to be careful."
I don't believe you.
Ji Yunshu thought unhappily in his heart.
But she didn't ask any more questions. At this time, the sun was setting and the weather was getting cooler.
Zhao Shen saw that Ji Yunshu was only wearing a thin summer dress, so he put the cloak he had brought with him on her and said, "It's getting cold, let's go back first."
Ji Yunshu nodded. The mosquitoes were very poisonous these days. She had brought mosquito repellent sachets with her, but she still inevitably got bitten several times in the past few days.
She didn't want to be a mosquito feeder here.
Not long after they returned to the tent, a little girl from the tribe came to invite them to dinner.
Ji Yunshu and Zhao Shen looked at each other, feeling as if they were about to attend a Hongmen Banquet.
