Chapter 508 A Bad Premonition
The next day, Ji Yunshu slept until almost noon and woke up with soreness all over his body.
She glared at Zhao Shen while eating: "This is Youzhou, aren't you afraid that my father will punish you?"
Zhao Shen picked up a piece of food for her with his chopsticks before saying leisurely, "Father-in-law is only too happy for us to have a good relationship, why would he punish me? Eat more, you've lost weight these days."
Ji Yunshu poked the food in his bowl with his chopsticks: "Why didn't I realize you were so shameless before?"
Zhao Shen said meaningfully, "You didn't realize I was in good health before. It seems you don't care about me enough."
Ji Yunshu stuffed a fried dumpling into his mouth: "It's my fault. I will definitely take good care of you in the future."
After the two of them finished their meal, Ji Yunshu realized that Ji Yunlan had gotten up early in the morning and gone to the military camp. She knew that Ji Yunlan must have taken time out yesterday to bring someone to pick them up.
She said a little uncomfortably, "Dad and Big Brother seem very busy. Did something happen?"
Zhao Shen comforted her: "Mobei has invaded, and now the entire Youzhou is actively preparing for war. It's normal for father-in-law to be busy. Don't worry. Father-in-law has fought the people of Mobei for half his life, and he won't suffer any loss."
Ji Yunshu was not worried that his adopted father would suffer at the hands of the Mobei people.
She knew her father's strength. His kung fu was not inferior to Zhao Shen's. Whether fighting alone or leading troops in battle, there were few people in the world who could be his opponent.
"I'm worried that someone might be secretly tampering with something. Isn't this what Prince Yong's men have been hiding for so long?"
Moreover, Ji Changlin and Ji Yunlan didn't seem to be very good at dealing with conspiracies and intrigues. After such a long time, they couldn't even find a spy, which made her feel unbelievable.
Ji Chen smiled and said, "I know you are worried about this, so I told my brother on the way that we should go find that person."
Ji Yunshu's eyes widened. "But we know nothing about the people here. How can we possibly find that spy?"
Zhao Shen said, "Don't underestimate yourself. You are very capable. And the reason they couldn't find it is probably because they are too familiar with those people. So they subconsciously don't doubt it. We are not familiar with everyone, so we can look at those people without emotion."
Ji Yunshu felt that what he said made sense, but he was still a little worried: "What if we can't find it?"
The life and death of Ji Changlin and Ji Yunlan were too important to her. She simply couldn't imagine what would happen if something happened to these two people.
Zhao Shen held her hand and said, "Believe in yourself. It's okay if you can't find it. I've told my eldest brother, and he's continuing his investigation. Didn't you suspect it might be the family of a certain general? You're more suitable to contact those people than my father-in-law and eldest brother."
Ji Yunshu also felt that he was thinking too much. Some things must be done, and if he didn't do them, he would never know the results.
And she absolutely could not accept anything happening to her father and brother.
She slowly calmed down. "You're right. I can't let my previous thoughts influence me. We've changed so many things, and this one can definitely be changed. If we investigate the family, how do we even begin?"
Zhao Shen asked, "If you were a spy, what would you do at this moment?"
Ji Yunshu thought for a moment, "Now that the war has begun, the army has a lot of intelligence to collect and send out. If it's the family of a certain general, will she be particularly active?"
Zhao Shen nodded: "According to this idea, what kind of place is suitable for collecting and transmitting intelligence?"
Ji Yunshu understood: "Starting today, I will take Miss Qian for a good stroll around the city. Come to think of it, I haven't really been around here yet."
"Well, I may have other things to do these days, so I won't go shopping with you. If you have anything, you can go to the commander-in-chief."
"The Commander-in-Chief is back? So soon?"
She thought that what happened that night was quite serious and would take some time to deal with.
Zhao Shen said, "All the commander-in-chief needs to do is get evidence of those people collaborating with the enemy. Others will naturally take care of the rest. Don't worry about him having too much to do. This is also an opportunity to make merit."
Ji Yunshu felt baffled. "I'm not familiar with him, so why should I feel sorry for him? But is it really appropriate for you to throw everything to the commander-in-chief? Don't you need to make achievements yourself?"
She reasonably suspected that Zhao Shen was deliberately causing trouble for Gu Xing.
"As long as I return alive this time, I will definitely get credit. There's no need to compete with others for credit."
Zhao Shen said calmly.
Ji Yunshu heard him say this again and asked suspiciously, "Why can't you go back alive? What happened?"
Zhao Shen looked at her and said, "Weren't you angry last night about me arranging your funeral? Why are you asking now?"
Ji Yunshu was silent for a moment before continuing, "Of course I need to know what I need to know. If I don't ask, does that mean it doesn't exist?"
Seeing her face full of determination, Zhao Shen had no choice but to say, "Actually, you also felt it yesterday, right? The thing that person took out would cause the poison in my body to erupt."
Ji Yunshu didn't say anything. Although she didn't know what was going on at the time, she had a hunch that she couldn't let that person take the thing out.
So she decisively threw away the things Yichen gave her.
The man didn't say much, but he revealed a lot of things. It seemed that he was a person of high status and should know a lot of things.
If he had met someone like this in the past, Ji Yunshu's first thought would have been to capture him alive and ask him what he wanted to know.
But yesterday, she threw out Yichen's modified explosives without any hesitation.
She pursed her lips and said, "Yes, I had a hunch that what he took out wouldn't be anything good, so I took action directly. Do you suspect that Prince Yong will use the poison in your body against you this time?"
Zhao Shen said, "It's not suspicion, but certainty. I know my body well. These days, I always have a bad premonition."
Ji Yunshu hugged him and said, "We agreed to work together to find a solution. No matter what happens, you must not give up."
Zhao Shen helped her tidy up her wind-messed hair and said, "Well, let's work together to find a solution. That leader from yesterday seemed to know a lot. Although he's dead, the people who followed him might know everything. I'll have someone interrogate him first. You can go get busy too. Maybe the final solution lies with this spy."
Being able to lurk in the military for ten years without being discovered, this person must be a very important person.
Ji Yunshu nodded, and the two parted at a fork in the road. She went to find Qian Qian.
Shopping alone is boring, and although Qian Qian is young, she is smart and thoughtful. Ji Yunshu feels that bringing her along will be of great use.
Qian Qian was also bored, especially at this time when everyone was busy with the war. This leisure made her feel useless.
Hearing Ji Yunshu's purpose, he immediately nodded: "Let's go together. I've been in contact with their spies, and I might be able to see something different."
Ji Yunshu felt that this girl was simply sent by God to help.
But they didn't expect that they would run into an acquaintance as soon as they walked out of the yard.
"Madam is finally back."
Ji Yunshu looked at Liu Yan, who had been left behind, his eyes flashing as he smiled, "That's right. You don't know how many assassinations I've encountered along the way. Fortunately, I didn't go with you, otherwise I would have implicated you."
