Chapter 504 I Only Believe in You
Zhao Shen was also amused by her teasing remarks, but when he thought about the reality, his eyes darkened.
King Yong's planning over the years was not in vain. At least in this war, he might not retain his strength.
"No matter what, let's go meet up with your father and brother first. As long as we ensure their safety, everything else will be easy."
Ji Yunshu was not so optimistic. "The people of Mobei are not just making a small move this time. It seems that the troops entering the pass from Tongan are quite powerful. If they lose a few more cities, there will be some movement from the imperial court, right?"
Few people standing in the court wanted the Ji family to continue to hold military power.
Of course, there were those who were jealous and wanted to share the military power of the Ji family, but there were also those who were truly concerned about the country and the people, and felt that having the military power of hundreds of thousands of troops in the hands of one person was not conducive to the stability of the country.
Everyone has his or her own reasons.
But these will only make the situation more complicated.
Zhao Shen said, "You forgot about me. The Emperor anticipated this situation, so he sent me. As long as he stands on the General's side, nothing will happen."
Ji Yunshu certainly knew that things would not be that simple, but since Zhao Shen said so, she had no intention of asking further.
Now her only wish is that her father and brother can be well and that the people living on the border can be less affected by the war.
She no longer wanted to think about what those people in the court were like.
"But can we really meet up with Daddy and Big Brother smoothly?"
Since that night, things have calmed down again in the past few days.
Ji Yunshu felt like she was having a stress reaction. The more smoothly everything went, the more she couldn't feel at ease.
Zhao Shen knew that empty words alone wouldn't reassure her, so he took out a map and pointed to a spot, saying, "This is the last suitable place for an ambush before we return to Wuning. If they want to attack us, this is their only option."
Ji Yunshu looked at the place he pointed at and found that it was a valley with high mountains on both sides and a valley in the middle.
"It's indeed a good place for an ambush. Do you have any plans?"
Since Zhao Shen had seen through it, he naturally would not allow the other party to ambush him.
Although they brought many experts with them this time, there were not many people. Even the commander-in-chief who was supposed to protect them was doing other things.
This is also an opportunity for the other party.
Thinking of this, she almost suspected that Zhao Shen did it on purpose.
When he was on the road again, although Ji Yunshu was worried about what was about to happen, he felt much more at ease.
Qian Qian had been exposed to war since childhood and had an unusually keen sense of the terrain. As soon as the carriage arrived at the place Zhao Shen mentioned.
She looked at the towering peaks on both sides and said to Ji Yunshu with some worry, "Miss, this place is very suitable for an ambush. Should we send someone to check out the front first?"
Ji Yunshu looked at her with appreciation and said with a smile, "Don't worry."
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, the carriage had stopped.
As expected, Zhao Shen sent people to check ahead.
Ji Yunshu knew his intention. It was normal to be cautious in a place like this.
If they just walked forward in such a brazen manner, it would only arouse suspicion.
The people who went to investigate came back soon and reported that there was no problem.
Zhao Shen then asked his men to continue moving forward.
Qian Qian looked at Ji Yunshu suspiciously and asked, "Did the prince already make arrangements?"
Ji Yunshu felt that she was a little too smart and nodded gently: "I told you before, you have to trust him."
Qian Qian confirmed that Zhao Shen had already made arrangements and that their group would not be wiped out at once, so he felt relieved.
She winked at Ji Yunshu and said, "It's enough for the prince to have the eldest lady trust him. I only trust you, the eldest lady."
While the two were talking, something unexpected happened outside.
Ji Yunshu thought that the other party would lie in ambush and attack when they passed by.
Unexpectedly, no one took them seriously at all. As soon as they entered the valley, arrows were shot at them.
Zhao Shen didn't even make a move, as the people around him had already blocked the arrows.
Ji Yunshu felt a little strange: "Why are these people so arrogant?"
Zhao Shen looked at the troops blocking the road ahead and smiled, "Isn't this obvious? No matter how powerful our men are, they only number a few dozen. There are hundreds of them here. It's no surprise that they can capture us. Of course, there's no need to hide our strength."
Ji Yunshu sneered, "Their master is still hiding his head and showing his tail, so why don't they need it? Are these people from Mobei or Daxia?"
Logically speaking, people from Mobei should not be here.
It has only been a few days since Mobei entered the pass from Tongan, and they haven't been able to get here yet.
Zhao Shen's answer confirmed her suspicions: "Of course they are from Daxia. Such a large group of people can't just appear here out of thin air. If they are held responsible later, who will be held accountable?"
Listening to the couple digging into each other's backgrounds as if no one was around, Qian Qian couldn't help but twitch his mouth.
She found the couple quite interesting indeed.
The prince of the Marquis's Mansion is not only not a weak scholar, but also has unfathomable kung fu skills, and can kill people without even blinking an eye.
The general's daughter is even more interesting. She seems to have no regard for the rules that the world sees, and can do almost whatever she wants.
This made her feel envious.
The people on the opposite side did not feel envious. Seeing that the two people did not take them seriously, they were so angry that their noses were crooked.
"Prince Zhao, long time no see."
The masked man with a black scarf covering his face gritted his teeth and said to Zhao Shen.
Zhao Shen stared at him for a few seconds before asking, "Are we still acquaintances? Who are you?"
The masked man heard him say this, and then thought about what the two had just said about him hiding his true identity, and he became even angrier. "You are a noble man, so forgetful. It's normal for you not to remember me, but today is the day you die. I think it's best for you, Your Highness, to remember who killed you."
Zhao Shen: "Remember what to do? Wait until I turn into a ghost and come find you? So shameless are you that you have to cover your face even when going out in broad daylight?"
The masked man was completely enraged by him. He sneered and waved his hand to let the people behind him come forward.
There were too many people, and Ji Yunshu didn't want Zhao Shen to take action in this situation.
She didn't want him to give others the impression of being bloodthirsty.
Look at Qian Qian. He originally had a good impression of Zhao Shen, but after seeing Zhao Shen kill someone once, he is now so scared that he wants to run away whenever he sees someone.
This little girl is quite brave.
Zhao Shen had no intention of taking action. Not to mention that it was impossible for him to kill so many people, even if he could do it, he didn't want Ji Yunshu to see him killing people.
So others played there, and the two continued chatting.
Ji Yunshu: "Isn't what you said the truth? Why is he so angry?"
Zhao Shen: "Maybe no one knows they have a disease unless they tell them."
What kind of good guy would come out in broad daylight with a mask on to kill someone? Does he think that by covering his face, he really won't be able to find out who the person is?
Ji Yunshu could tell that Zhao Shen did it on purpose, but he was a little surprised by the person opposite him.
Logically speaking, since you are doing this kind of thing, you should have a good mental state.
But this person clearly has a bad temper and cannot stand being provoked.
Like someone in the military, or the kind who always gives orders.
So I can't stand being pointed at and laughed at.
Ji Yunshu thought the matter was quite interesting.
