Chapter 498 Qian Qian’s Plan
Zhao Shen said: "He has stayed here for too long, and if he is really dying, he should have something to do before he dies."
Ji Yunshu felt that the situation was beyond her imagination: "Isn't what he wants to do to occupy Youzhou?"
Zhao Shen smiled and shook his head: "If he is really dying, what is the use of Youzhou?"
"So what does he want to do?"
Ji Yunshu asked.
Zhao Shen didn't say anything else, but took Ji Yunshu back to the small courtyard where they first lived.
Li Ping was packing up in the yard. Seeing Zhao Shen coming back, he hurriedly said, "Master, you are finally back."
Zhao Shen asked, "What happened?"
Li Ping replied, "After the fake General Qian was exposed, a fight broke out outside. It was between General Qian's Linyuan defenders and the Mobei people. Miss Qian was also among the troops."
No wonder Bilige let them go so easily.
But at this moment, Ji Yunshu was not thinking about Bilige. She was worried about Qian Qian.
Although she knew Qian Qian was not an ordinary girl, she still felt uneasy after hearing his words: "Miss Qian is still young, what if something happens?"
Ji Yunshu was not surprised by the battle with Lin Yuan. Bilige's method of taking down Lin Yuan had destined this day to come.
But she didn't want anything to happen to Qian Qian.
Zhao Shen pulled her out and said, "Let's go take a look."
Ji Yunshu then remembered: "Why did the fighting suddenly break out? The defenders can't defeat the people from Mobei, right?"
Judging from the current situation, we have no advantage in terms of numbers or strength.
And she felt that Bilige would not give in easily.
This was the first city he had taken since entering the Daxia Palace. If they took it back so easily, it would be a huge blow to Bilige.
Although he seemed to no longer care.
But who knows if he is just acting?
Ji Yunshu followed Zhao Shen, confused, and found where Qian Qian was.
Seeing Jingzhe was there too, I realized that he was the one who left a signal. No wonder Zhao Shen came directly without even having to find the way.
Zhao Shen took Jingzhe to talk not far away, while Ji Yunshu was pulled into Qian Qian's room.
She said happily, "I'm glad that Miss is okay."
She has been really worried these days, fearing that something might happen to Ji Yunshu and Zhao Shen.
Although the Mobei prince did not harm the people of Linyuan, he was able to think of using a fake to replace his father, and this plan had been implemented several years ago. He is really a chilling person.
Ji Yunshu also looked her over carefully: "How are you?"
Qian Qian smiled and told what had happened in the past few days.
"That fake guy was someone my father used to be with, named Wang Zhi. When he saw me, he acted pretentiously and told people that I was running around and scared him."
At this point, she sniffed, "He'd seen me and my father together, and he put on a pretty convincing facade. Unfortunately, too many people in the barracks knew me, so he couldn't do anything to me. I had no scruples, though, and I directly peeled off the disguise on his face. The soldiers didn't believe my father would betray the country in the first place, and now that the truth was out, they were immediately furious. I figured it would be better to resist than to suppress them."
Ji Yunshu was terrified when he heard this: "You are too bold. What if there is an expert around him who will kill you first at all costs? It's hard to say whether you can survive now."
Seeing her face full of worry, Qian Qian smiled and said, "Don't look at my young age. In fact, I have been practicing martial arts with my father since I was a child. The ordinary soldiers in the army are no match for me. Wang Zhi saw that I was a little girl and didn't take me seriously. It's just..."
She touched her nose a little embarrassedly and said, "Now that the fighting has started, I'm afraid our defenders can't defeat those people from Mobei."
What do we mean by defenders?
Ji Yunshu found that this little girl was really smart. She didn't forget to tease him even when she spoke. As soon as she opened her mouth, she tied her up with the Linyuan defenders.
Wouldn't it be unacceptable for her to stand by and watch?
She said angrily: "You knew you couldn't win but still fought. What were you thinking?"
"Aren't you here? The general wouldn't ignore your comfort. Since he asked you to come, there must be some arrangements, right?"
This little girl is simply too smart.
Ji Yunshu glanced at her and said deliberately: "I seem to have forgotten to tell you that I came here secretly and my father didn't know at all."
"ah?"
Qian Qian really didn't seem to have thought of this possibility. He stared at Ji Yunshu with wide eyes, not knowing how to react for a moment. "How could it be?"
Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "Why not? The truth is that the prince had something to do here, so I followed him secretly. Do you think if your father were here, he would let you come to such a dangerous place?"
Of course not.
Qian Qian then remembered that her father once said how much the general loved his daughter and had never let her come to Youzhou since she was a child.
But soon she didn't have time to think about this, and the current situation made her sober up.
"It's my fault. I shouldn't have been so clever as to let them fight. I only thought that now was the best opportunity to recapture Linyuan, but I forgot what to do if there were no reinforcements."
As she spoke, she couldn't help choking up.
She grew up in this city and naturally has a special affection for this place.
And even if it is proven that it was not her father who surrendered to the enemy and opened the city gate, it is an indisputable fact that Lin Yuan was lost in her father's hands.
She wanted to take back Linyuan from the Mobei people for her own selfish reasons, but she didn't think it through.
Now, not only the defenders, but even the common people will be implicated.
The more she thought about it, the more guilty and sad she felt.
Ji Yunshu originally just wanted to scare her, but this little girl was too thoughtful and could think a lot about just one sentence.
Seeing her depressed and unsure of what to do, he couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Recovering Linyuan is not something you came up with on a whim, is it?"
Qian Qian said dejectedly, "I've discussed this with Brother Jingzhe."
Ji Yunshu understood: "That's fine. He is close to the prince. Since he thinks there is no problem, that is the prince's intention. He will cover it."
Although Zhao Shen never told her what to do, he has always been a reliable person.
"The prince?" Qian Qian thought for a moment before realizing who she was talking about. She asked with some suspicion, "Isn't he a civil servant? What can he do?"
Ji Yunshu felt that Zhao Shen's face was too deceptive. Anyone who had never seen him in action would subconsciously think that he was a scholar with no ability to protect himself.
She didn't explain, but simply said, "He's here on the Emperor's orders to handle the affairs of Mobei. Now that the fighting has broken out, Lin Yuan's affairs are also within his purview. Don't worry, he knows what's going on."
Qian Qian hesitated to speak, but in the end said nothing.
There is no way. If it is an ordinary civil servant, even with the emperor's order, he can't do anything when he arrives at the military camp.
There's no way around it. These people have never had a good impression of the civil servants sent by the court who have no ability and like to make random comments.
But Zhao Shen's situation was different. He married the daughter of the general, so in everyone's eyes, he could be considered one of their own. As long as it wasn't excessive, no one would deliberately make things difficult for him.
With this, things will be much easier.
