Chapter 493: Outrageous Ideas
Ji Yunshu looked at him: "How do you know I can send information?"
Zhao Shen said, "You've been with Miss Qian these past few days. How could she not tell you anything? Besides, would you mention the chef's affairs to Bilige for no reason?"
Ji Yunshu: "Fortunately, Bilige is not as smart as you, otherwise my plan would have failed."
If she contacted the chef privately, Bilige would definitely be suspicious, but she deliberately mentioned it in front of Bilige. Although it was a bit abrupt, she was a wealthy lady after all, and it was reasonable for her to have requirements for food.
Zhao Shen said, "Actually, it's not just the cook. To avoid attracting attention, the fake General Qian probably left all the unimportant people in the mansion untouched. Miss Qian is more familiar with these people than he is, as he's often away from home. They should also be more useful to her. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to escape so easily and hide for so long."
Bilige is not a good-for-nothing. Linyuan is located on the border and is not a very big town.
It was such a small place that the people from Mobei could search it all in less than two days. But before they came, it had been several days since Miss Qian escaped, and Bilige had not found her yet.
In other words, someone has been helping Qian Qian these days.
Of course, Qian Qian himself is also very smart.
It's not that Bilige couldn't think of these things, but he simply had no way to do it. He didn't want to kill people and cause panic and resistance among the people, so he couldn't intimidate the people and make them hand over the money voluntarily.
But starting a massacre at this time would not be of any benefit, either in winning over the people's hearts or in attacking the next city.
When there are insufficient troops, it is naturally best not to cause panic and resistance among the people.
Otherwise, in the next city, even if he could get the defenders to surrender, the people would not let them enter the city smoothly.
Of course, just looking for Qian Qian, Bilige was not helpless. Zhao Shen felt that he might not have taken it seriously from the beginning.
This feeling had no reason. After all, he had met Bilige. He was indeed a smart man. When interests were involved, he would not give in even at the cost of his own life.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ask Ji Yunshu: "Why do you think he showed mercy to Wujina? He poisoned Queen Helian, so he should have known very well that Wujina wanted to kill him."
Ji Yunshu shook his head. "In fact, whether it was for the sake of the situation or out of consideration for their relationship, Wujina did not kill him. Otherwise, with Wujina's control over the royal city, Bilige would have no chance of leaving alive."
Zhao Shen frowned. "I thought Wujina didn't want to confront Bilige herself, so she let him go so she could use Daxia to consume him."
Ji Yunshu laughed and said, "To capture a thief, you must first capture the king. If Bilige dies in the royal city, will his men really risk everything to avenge him? Perhaps, but they would definitely be a minority, and dealing with them wouldn't be a serious injury for Wujina. But if Bilige is released, he might return with his hidden private army. He might even have the decree of succession from the King of Mobei. Do you think he really has no chance of success?"
This time it was Zhao Shen's turn to be confused. In fact, he had vaguely felt that something was wrong before, but the general trend of things was similar to what he expected, so he didn't think about it too much.
Now that Ji Yunshu said this, there was indeed something wrong with the relationship between the two.
"You mean Wujina and Bilige are in cahoots? What's their goal?"
The internal friction between the two is not a good thing for Mobei.
Bilige may not care, but he is sure that this is not what Wujina wants to see.
Ji Yunshu shook his head. "I'm not saying they're in cahoots. Perhaps they themselves haven't figured out what's going on, and they just subconsciously refrained from killing her. Especially Bilige. I think they all know it was the King of Mobei who poisoned Queen Helian."
Zhao Shen pondered for a moment. Now he could understand the meaning of Ji Yunshu's test of Bilige today.
This matter is very important to them.
So far, Wujina and Bilige have not formed a mortal feud, which also means that they may join forces at any time.
If these two people join forces, they will be in a passive position.
"Where's the Biling Pill? If what you guessed is true, Wujina couldn't have known that the Biling Pill is very important to Bilige. Why would she help you steal it?"
Ji Yunshu said, "Because the current Biling Pill can't cure Bilige's illness, and Wujina knows that we know a miracle doctor who may be able to improve the Biling Pill. This is Bilige's real chance to survive. Otherwise, why would Bilige be so generous and agree to let us go for the Biling Pill when he's clearly determined to let us die in the forest?"
Zhao Shen thought about all the things together and had to admit that what Ji Yunshu said made sense.
But the basis of all her speculation was ridiculous.
"Why do you think there is a brother-sister relationship between them?"
To him, this was unbelievable.
"Why not? You know Bilige's life story. He was bullied since childhood because of his biological mother. His mother even died at the hands of the King of Mobei. Under such circumstances, Wujina helped him and treated him like a family member. If you were Bilige, would you want to kill Wujina?"
Wujina told Ji Yunshu that she used to have a good relationship with Bilige. At least before she found out that King Mobei intended to support Bilige to take the throne, the relationship between the two should have been very good.
Wujina used to be a beautiful and kind-hearted little princess. No matter from which angle you look at it, she has never done anything wrong to Bilige.
Zhao Shen understood the royal struggles better than their emotions. "But their identities and positions meant that only one of them could ascend to the throne. The loser's fate was death, and that little bit of brotherly love wasn't enough to gamble their lives on. In the royal family, those who act on emotion often die the fastest."
Ji Yunshu had seen through this man's lack of understanding of romance, and blurted out with a look of dismay, "Who said they were brother and sister?"
Zhao Shen's face showed a rare look of shock: "What are you talking about?"
"Ahem..." Ji Yunshu coughed awkwardly twice, "I didn't say anything."
Even Zhao Shen, despite being slow-witted, understood what she was thinking. He asked in disbelief, "How could you have such an outrageous idea?"
Ji Yunshu: What’s so outrageous about that?
Since her thoughts were purely based on feelings and had no basis, she couldn't argue. She touched her nose and said, "It's not too outrageous. This kind of thing doesn't happen. Why are you so surprised?"
She didn't understand why Zhao Shen was so shocked. He was born in a marquis's mansion. There were all kinds of ridiculous things happening in those aristocratic families in the capital. It was just that they kept it secret and didn't spread outside.
Compared to those, what is this little thing?
"Do you want to listen to what you're saying?"
Zhao Shen didn't know what to say. She was speculating about the relationship between siblings without any reason, and she thought he was being unreasonable?
