Chapter 522: What I Worried About Happened
Ji Yunlan was at a loss for words about this matter. "Okay, I understand. The army has captured quite a few spies from Prince Yong's Mansion these days. I'll have someone question them and see if I can find out anything."
Zhao Shen said sincerely, "Thank you very much, big brother."
Ji Yunlan waved his hand: "We are a family, no need to be polite, but my father should know about this by now, you have to think about how to deal with it."
"I know."
Ji Yunlan came and left quickly, and when he left, Ji Yunshu was still angry.
Zhao Shen said helplessly: "Didn't we talk about this before? Why are you angry again?"
Ji Yunshu: "Just talking about it makes me angry. You're about to die, and you still care about how I'm going to live the rest of my life?"
Zhao Shen smiled and said, "How could I dare to control you? I just think you will like it here and like being with your family."
Ji Yunshu snorted and said, "In that case, don't go back to the capital. Just stay here with me."
Zhao Shen knew she said that on purpose, so he said in a good-tempered manner, "Okay, actually, I like it here too."
Ji Yunshu glared at him and said, "If you stay here for me, the emperor will definitely not let me go."
Having kidnapped the emperor's confidant like this, Ji Yunshu could already predict the emperor's reaction.
Zhao Shen hugged Ji Yunshu, rested his head on her shoulder, and whispered in her ear: "If it weren't for you, I might have died. The emperor will understand my thoughts."
Ji Yunshu seemed to have done nothing, but in fact, her appearance had changed the fate of everyone, including the emperor.
Ji Yunshu was indeed very angry when he first learned about Zhao Shen's plan, but now, he felt more heartbroken.
However, she felt that she would be the only one who would suffer misfortune if she felt sorry for the man, so she deliberately said, "But your arrangement still makes me very sad."
"Well, what should I do to stop you from being sad?"
His voice was low, ringing beside his ears, and Ji Yunshu almost couldn't stand it.
She tilted her head, slightly distanced herself from him, and then said, "You have to promise me that you won't act on your own in the future. I have the right to know about things that concern me."
Zhao Shen agreed readily. He would sometimes subconsciously do things that he thought were good for Ji Yunshu, but he never thought of hiding them from her.
Ji Yunshu was finally satisfied and asked him curiously, "How are you going to get past my dad?"
Zhao Shen chuckled and said, "You can kill me or chop me up, it's all up to you."
Ji Yunshu: “…”
That day, Ji Changlin came back before dark and called Zhao Shen to the study as soon as he entered the door.
The two stayed in the study for a whole hour, and no one knew what they talked about. When they finally came out, they both looked normal.
Ji Yunshu asked several times in a roundabout way, but Zhao Shen didn't tell her and asked her to ask Ji Changlin herself.
Ji Yunshu certainly didn't have the courage to do so. Things had finally passed, and she would be crazy to cause trouble again.
With the death of Madam Qi, the army found another group of spies along this line, and the matter gradually came to an end.
At the same time, the fighting on the border is intensifying and the situation is not optimistic.
When Ji Yunshu received the battle report that Bilige led the Mobei Iron Cavalry to capture five cities in a row, she was very surprised. She never thought that the war that no one took seriously at the beginning would eventually develop to this point.
"It seems that what I worried about has happened."
She had previously told Zhao Shen that she was worried that Wujina and Bilige would collude with each other and that Prince Yong would intervene.
Now it seems that this is a done deal.
Bilige alone does not have the strength to capture the city.
After the snow fell, the weather became colder and colder. Zhao Shen hugged her beside the fumigation cage and read the information coming from various places.
"This is something that can be expected. There is no need to get angry."
Wujina and Bilige were enemies because they were competing for the throne.
Now that Wujina has become the queen of Mobei, if Bilige is willing to submit to her, the two may be able to cooperate.
For Bilige, his original goal might not have been the throne.
As for Wujina, she lost a powerful enemy and gained a helper for no reason. Why not?
When Ji Yunshu saw the news, he was a little angry at Wujina for breaking her promise, but then he thought about it and realized that there is no long-lasting friendship in this world, only long-term interests, not to mention that the other party's identity has changed.
She really should look at this matter with a changed perspective.
"Then does what Wujina promised before still count?"
Ji Yunshu is not as perceptive about politics as Zhao Shen.
Zhao Shen didn't seem too concerned about the matter. He said slowly, "That depends on the final outcome of the war. If Mobei doesn't gain any advantage, then she will naturally follow the original agreement. But if Bilige can really take Youzhou, that's another matter."
Ji Yunshu understood: "If they can take Youzhou, they will indeed have greater power. This is probably what King Yong wants. If they lose Youzhou..."
I'm afraid there will be no Ji Changlin in this world.
She looked at Zhao Shen with a pale face: "Their target is still my father."
Zhao Shen hugged her tightly and comforted her, "Don't worry. With so many things happening recently, do you think the general would be defenseless? To be honest, I'm kind of looking forward to the upcoming battle."
Ji Changlin was born into the Ji family, and this background did give him great convenience, but if he didn't have real talent, he would never have been able to sit in the position he is in today.
Over the years, countless people have wanted to take action against him, but no one has ever succeeded, not even the royal family.
Zhao Shen didn't think that such a great general would lose even though he was already prepared.
Ji Yunshu thought about it and it made sense. Originally, Prince Yong was hiding in the dark and it was indeed difficult to guard against him, but now, his conspiracy had almost surfaced.
His purpose in this battle was very clear, which was to deal with Ji Changlin.
Knowing this, it's not difficult to fight back.
The battlefield is Ji Changlin's home ground.
"I'm sorry, Dad. The thing you need to worry about most in a war is not the enemy, but the hidden arrows that may be shot by those around you."
This is really a sad thing.
But fortunately, this time, the imperial court stood on their side, and Prince Yong's stirring up trouble could not change the fact that he was a traitor.
"The commander-in-chief personally brought a pair of secret guards to protect Dad and Big Brother. They are masters themselves, so they will be fine."
Ji Yunshu nodded. The emperor’s security was only at this level. If something happened again, it would really be fate.
She reached out and stroked Zhao Shen's brow: "Since there's nothing to worry about in the war, then what are you worried about?"
Zhao Shen seemed a little anxious these days. Although he hid it well, Ji Yunshu knew him too well and could immediately detect any changes in his mood.
Zhao Shen had already promised not to hide anything from her, so he said, "There has been no news about Huo Cong."
Ji Yunshu was stunned for a moment before he remembered what Huo Cong had done. "Did they find nothing, or did something happen to him?"
