Chapter 509: Going Out Shopping
Liu Yan showed a worried look on her face: "My life belongs to Madam, why should I be worried about getting involved? Madam is not hurt?"
Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "Of course not. No one in Mobei Royal City can do anything to me, let alone in Youzhou."
The smile on Liu Yan's face froze for a moment, but it disappeared in an instant. She said happily, "I'm glad that Madam is okay. And indeed, this is Youzhou. Who can touch you?"
Ji Yunshu had been paying attention to her, and could clearly see the changes in her expression. "You're right. When we finally encountered the assassination attempt, my eldest brother personally came to pick me up. None of those people escaped. I don't know who was so desperate as to run here to die."
Liu Yan seemed frightened by her words: "Are all the assassins dead?"
Ji Yunshu said, "Of course not. There were hundreds of people there. My brother brought them all back and locked them up in the cell. He should be able to find out who is behind this. I want to see who wants to kill me."
Liu Yan's face turned pale when she heard this. Ji Yunshu said very considerately, "Did I scare you? Look at me, I even forgot to ask you how you were doing. Did you have a smooth journey back home?"
Liu Yan forced a smile and said, "Excuse me, Madam. This is the first time I've heard of such a large number of assassinations. I'm a nobody, and no one pays much attention to me, so of course it went smoothly."
Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "That's good. By the way, we're going shopping, do you want to go?"
Liu Yan seemed to have just noticed Qian Qian beside Ji Yunshu. She nodded and greeted him, asking, "Who is this sister?"
Ji Yunshu introduced, "This is the daughter of General Qian, the commander of Linyuan. General Qian was murdered, and she had no other relatives to take care of her, so I brought her back."
Liu Yan smiled and said, "Madam is kind-hearted."
Ji Yunshu pulled her and said, "Okay, let's stop talking about this. This place is really boring. Let's go out for a walk. I haven't had a good time shopping in a long time."
Liu Yan thought about how she had spent a fortune in Mobei Royal City, and it seemed like not that long had passed.
More importantly, every time Ji Yunshu went shopping, he seemed to have a purpose.
Moreover, there was a severe drought in Youzhou this year, and the general had asked many people to leave Youzhou in preparation for war.
Now that the war has begun, Wuning, even though it is the capital of Youzhou, has lost its former prosperity.
Ji Yunshu grew up in the capital, and a place like this is just a remote and poor place to her. What is there to see?
Liu Yan's eyes flashed: "I heard that Madam arrived after dark yesterday. Doesn't she need a few days' rest?"
Traveling is a very painful thing these days, and you may not be able to rest for several days.
Ji Yunshu slept until noon and still felt sore all over. In fact, it was not entirely Zhao Shen's fault.
"It's too boring to stay at home. I just want to go out and play for a while. When I'm tired, I can come back and rest."
Qian Qian watched the two of them talking from the side. She had always been perceptive and had realized at this time that Ji Yunshu was deliberately trying to drag this girl along.
So he said in agreement, "Sister, come with us. Even though there's a war going on, there's no way the Mobei people can get here. Nothing will happen."
Ji Yunshu then remembered to introduce her: "This is Miss Liu, I met her on the way to Mobei Royal City."
She only said her name without introducing her identity. Qian Qian didn't ask any more questions and called out politely, "Hello, Sister Liu."
Liu Yan had no choice but to greet him with a smile: "You're welcome, Miss Qian."
After the two exchanged greetings, Ji Yunshu dragged one of them out with each hand.
The street was not as bustling as when Ji Yunshu had been here before, but it just seemed like there were fewer people.
The shops along the street were still open. As they walked, Ji Yunshu asked Qian Qian, "Have you been here before? Do you know any fun places or restaurants with good food?"
Qian Qian thought for a moment and said, "I've been here a few times with my dad before, but we didn't go shopping much. Why don't we go somewhere where there are more people?"
"You're really smart. Where there are a lot of people, there must be something exciting to see."
Ji Yunshu praised.
Liu Yan noticed that Ji Yunshu seemed to attach great importance to this young girl, so she didn't say anything and followed the two of them to where there were more people.
After walking around for a while, they asked about the largest restaurant in Wuning.
Ji Yunshu then took the two of them to have dinner.
However, she did not choose the box, but sat down in the lobby.
Erxiao saw that there were three women, all of whom were very beautiful. He was stunned for a moment before asking, "What would you three like to eat?"
Ji Yunshu said, "Make some of your signature dishes."
The waiter asked attentively, "Is this your first time here? Do you have any dietary restrictions?"
If such a beautiful woman had been here before, he would definitely have an impression of her.
Ji Yunshu nodded: "Yes, I just came here yesterday. I heard that your food is the best in Wuning City, so I came to try it. I don't have any dietary restrictions."
After that, she asked Qian Qian and Liu Yan, "What about you?"
Both of them said they had no dietary restrictions.
The waiter said wait a moment and left.
Ji Yunshu drank tea and looked at the people in the lobby. Perhaps because it was not meal time, there were not many people in the lobby.
There was only one person sitting at the table in the corner, but he looked ordinary and nothing special.
Ji Yunshu glanced at it and then looked away.
Liu Yan said with some emotion: "When the war started, this place was affected after all."
Ji Yunshu also sighed: "Yeah, life is good but I don't know what the people of Mobei are up to."
Qian Qian grew up on the border and understood this matter very clearly: "Even without the war, the people of Mobei have a hard time. They often lack food and clothing, and when natural disasters occur, they can hardly survive."
"So they're here to rob us? What kind of logic is that?"
Qian Qian smiled. "What logic do people who can't survive need? Of course, this is just my opinion. The people who actually started the war didn't do it to save the people."
Ji Yunshu understood what she meant. It was true that the people of Mobei were suffering, and it was also true that those who started the war were motivated by their own ambitions.
As the two were chatting, they saw a woman coming down from upstairs.
She was dressed as a woman and looked to be in her thirties, but she was very beautiful.
Ji Yunshu was also beautiful, but she felt like a green fruit standing in front of this woman.
And this woman, like a ripe peach, exudes alluring charm.
But there is no worldly air.
She is the kind of mature woman who is very attractive to men.
Ji Yunshu couldn't help but take a few more glances. The woman looked a little cold, as if she didn't notice her at all. She left the restaurant without even looking back.
Just at this moment, the waiter came to serve the dishes, and Ji Yunshu casually said, "That lady just now was so beautiful. Is she a regular customer of yours?"
The waiter said with a smile, "Yes, that's General Weiyuan's wife. She's from Jiangnan and she loves our steamed mandarin fish, so she comes here often."
Ji Yunshu asked curiously, "General Weiyuan can't afford a chef from Jiangnan?"
The waiter said, "This isn't the chef's fault, it's the fish's. The fish used in our steamed mandarin fish are all specially shipped from Jiangnan. They're still alive when they're cooked. In the entire Youzhou, you absolutely can't find them anywhere else except here."
