Chapter 482: Exposing Whereabouts
Zhao Shen said, "She has an extreme temper and hates you. I'm afraid she thought it through when she came here. If she can't kill you, she will die. So she won't say anything. There's no need to waste your energy."
Ji Yunshu was still thinking about the little girl's words that when she was sold, she was only exchanged for a bag of rice.
She sighed, "She's still a child."
At such a young age, he should be the apple of his parents' eyes.
Zhao Shen couldn't help but look at Ji Yunshu. She was sitting sideways, half of her face was illuminated by the light, as if covered by a layer of light, and the other half was in darkness, with an unpredictable expression.
He was always involuntarily attracted to these contradictory things in her.
She seems to be particularly soft-hearted towards children.
"She's no ordinary child. I suspect she's a specially trained killer. Even though she hasn't mastered her kung fu yet, she's quite capable of killing. And children can lower people's guard."
"I know, I just..."
Some people cannot accept that a child of this age is being trained to be a killer and will spend the rest of his life killing people, unless he is killed that day.
Why do some people live this kind of life?
She didn't say anything because she knew Zhao Shen wouldn't have an answer.
Zhao Shen waited for her next words, and after a while she said, "Forget it. For her, perhaps death is also a kind of relief."
Zhao Shen nodded: "You are right."
Naturally, he would not leave behind anyone who dared to attack Ji Yunshu.
When he just came back, he had already instructed the secret guards that if they really couldn't get anything out of him, they should just get rid of him.
He would not let Ji Yunshu see that little girl again.
After Jingzhe finished his work, he saw that the light in the tent was still on, so he took the opportunity to come in and answer.
"There are almost no elderly, weak, women, or children in the tribe. They are all young and strong men, needless to say. There are also many swords and weapons, which are military style. As for which branch they belong to, I can't tell."
Zhao Shen nodded and asked, "I'll ask someone to do that later."
Jingzhe continued, "There were several experts among them who broke through the wolves' encirclement and rushed towards us, but were stopped by our people. Ever since they used the madam's medicine, the wolves seem to be out of control, and they suffered heavy losses tonight."
Zhao Shen asked, "Did you catch him alive? Did you get anything out of him?"
Jingzhe: "There is a survivor, but we haven't had time to interrogate him yet. The wolves outside have retreated now. They knew someone fell into our hands, but they didn't react at all. They probably didn't know anything important."
Zhao Shen said, "Let's interrogate him first. If we can't get anything out of him, then kill him."
His expression was cold and his words were filled with a biting chill.
Jingzhe knew that the prince was angry because someone had put a bounty on his wife's life, so he didn't dare to say anything else. He just responded and left.
It was only at this time that Ji Yunshu realized that there was a bounty on his life.
Ten thousand taels is not a small amount, enough to drive many desperate criminals crazy.
There are not many people who can find out Ji Yunshu’s identity now, and even fewer who can find her.
But what happens after returning to Daxia?
"Are you worried about me?"
She asked while hugging Zhao Shen.
Zhao Shen was thinking about something when she suddenly hugged him and said with a smile, "Don't worry. There are only a few people who want to kill you and can take out ten thousand taels of silver. It's not hard to guess who is eager to kill you now."
"Bilige?" This person first popped up in Ji Yunshu's mind, and then he said angrily, "Is this guy sick? He used this ten thousand taels to buy Wujina's life. If he succeeds, he will become the king of Mobei. But what good will it do him to spend such a huge price to kill me?"
Zhao Shen said, "Disturbing your father's mind is a common tactic on the battlefield. That's why during every major war, the families of the commanders are the focus of protection."
Ji Yunshu originally lived in the palace, so even if the Ji family father and son were on the battlefield, no one could target her.
The situation is special now. If she runs out on her own, she will become a sitting duck.
After all, everyone knew that General Ji had only one son and one daughter, and his son had followed him to the battlefield since he was young.
The daughter was raised by the Queen Mother and the general regarded her as the apple of his eye.
Ji Yunshu thought of Ji Changlin's kindness to him and said through gritted teeth, "I will not fall into the hands of the enemy and bring shame and embarrassment to my father."
Zhao Shen shook his head. "If there's no other choice, I just hope you survive. I believe the general feels the same way. In his heart, nothing is more important than your life."
His tone was serious, so Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "You know how much I value my life. How could I give up the chance to live so easily?"
She didn't know whether she would return to her original world after death or disappear completely.
I'm afraid these things will never be clear.
No matter what, God has given her a chance to live again, and she will not waste it.
Zhao Shen didn't know whether he believed her or not. He lowered his eyes and pondered, not knowing what he was thinking.
Ji Yunshu then talked about what was going to happen next: "Tomorrow we will follow our original plan, or continue walking aimlessly like this."
They knew that the journey would not be peaceful, so they did not follow the crowd and take the trade route that everyone else took.
Where to go depends entirely on Ji Yunshu's mood.
In short, just go south.
Even so, their whereabouts were exposed, and it was obvious where the problem lay.
Zhao Shen said, "Since our whereabouts are no longer a secret, there's no need to waste time. Seeing as a fight is about to break out, it's best for us to return early to save our father-in-law and eldest brother from worrying."
Ji Yunshu felt a little headache when she thought about the road ahead. She still liked to slow down and walk slowly like this.
Although the weather has become much cooler these days, traveling is still not a pleasant experience.
But it was not her decision, after all, it was she who wanted to come here.
"All right."
The two fell asleep while talking.
The next morning, when Zhao Shen and Ji Yunshu were having breakfast, Jingzhe came to report what happened last night.
"Last night, the tribesmen either fed the wolves or attacked us and were injured. Except for a few who escaped and were captured by us, almost the entire army was wiped out."
When he said this, he still felt scared.
If the lady hadn't carried those strange things with her, they would have been enough to deal with just that pack of wolves last night.
Zhao Shen was not surprised by this result. He had seen from the beginning that those people were not ordinary herdsmen on the grassland.
Ji Yunshu asked, "That little girl still hasn't said anything?"
Jingzhe shook his head: "She is the one with the most stubborn words. She is just a little kid, but she seems to feel no pain when the whip hits her body. She also looks at people gloomily from time to time. Judging from her appearance, I am afraid she will not say anything."
Ji Yunshu nodded and said nothing more.
She sympathized with the little girl, but she wouldn't be too sympathetic. She spared her life when the other party was about to kill her.
