Chapter 549: No Intention to Interfere
But it also makes people more fearful.
He knew that Prince Yong's goal was the throne, and based on this he could not infer what he would do.
But Xiao Kun is different. He does whatever he wants and makes people confused.
Of course, there are not no traces at all.
Thinking of Xiao Kun's special treatment of Ji Yunshu, his eyes darkened.
Suddenly I felt eager to go to Youzhou.
He had a hunch that if Xiao Kun's target was Ji Yunshu, then now was the best time for him.
Chen Shao was indeed a little surprised, but he soon understood. Zhao Shen had dealt with Xiao Kun a lot, so it was not surprising that he knew something about Xiao Kun.
"Well, in that case, the prince should also know that I don't have the final say on matters here."
If he was just an ordinary village chief, he would naturally say whatever he wanted.
But now, he has someone behind him, so he has to obey orders.
Zhao Shen understood what he meant: "So I ask you what Xiao Kun asked you to do here?"
Chen Shao shook his head: "I haven't received any instructions yet, so I won't do anything."
Zhao Shen paused, his fingers gripping the teacup. "What did Xiao Kun say before he left Beijing?"
Chen Shao was about to speak when he realized that Zhao Shen should not know that Xiao Kun had left Beijing.
He is testing himself.
A sense of vigilance suddenly rose in his heart: "What are you talking about, Prince? You should know that he is not allowed to leave the capital without an imperial decree."
Zhao Shen seemed to be unaware of what he had said and laughed, "I don't know everything Xiao Kun has done over the years, but I know a rough outline. Do you think I would believe that he has never left the capital?"
Chen Shao's heart skipped a beat. This man was indeed as difficult to deal with as the legend said.
He took a sip of tea to calm himself down, then said slowly, "Whether he left or not is his business, and whether you believe it or not is your business. Even if he left, he wouldn't have informed me."
Zhao Shen looked around the house. It was simple and tidy. The yard outside and the entire village were the same.
It is indeed like what Shen Qin said, a paradise on earth.
"If I knew about a place like this, I would come here often."
Chen Shao couldn't help but look at Zhao Shen intently. He found that Zhao Shen knew Xiao Kun too well.
Ever since he discovered that he had run this place like this, Xiao Kun would come and stay for a few days whether he had something to do or not.
The summer is too hot and the winter is too cold. People in Beijing are very annoyed by the neither-too-hot situation.
Anyway, he always finds various reasons.
Chen Shao didn't dare to say anything for a moment, for fear that Zhao Shen would discover something from his words.
Zhao Shen didn't care and continued, "Prince Yong has already entered the capital. Even if he succeeds, we all know he's not the heir Prince Yong wants. Occupying the position of Crown Prince will only bring endless trouble. If he loses, in the eyes of everyone, he will still be the Crown Prince of Yong, and he will be charged with all the crimes he deserves. That's why he can't be in the capital right now."
Chen Shao knew that his analysis was correct. In fact, for Xiao Kun, the consequences of King Yong's defeat were worse than his defeat.
Because over the past year or so, he has ruined many of King Yong's plans.
Unfortunately, King Yong was at a critical moment and could not take action against him.
But if Prince Yong really ascends to that position, Xiao Kun will definitely be met with a ruthless reckoning.
This is also the reason why Chen Shao did not take any action.
Deep down, he didn't want Prince Yong to succeed.
"So you really don't have to worry about what I'll do. My master didn't tell me anything when he left, and I have no intention of getting involved in these matters."
This is exactly what Zhao Shen wanted to hear when he made this trip.
He drank his last cup of tea and said goodbye.
Youzhou Inn.
In the dark night, Yin Shu appeared in Xiao Kun's room with a sack in his hand.
It was already late, but Xiao Kun was not sleepy at all. He held a book in his hand, but did not turn the page for a long time.
When Yin Shu appeared, the hand holding the scroll paused.
Yin Shu threw the sack in his hand to the ground: "This guy is really good at hiding. If I hadn't been keeping an eye on Ji Yunshu, I really wouldn't have been able to find his trace for a while."
As he spoke, he opened the sack and found an unconscious person inside.
It was none other than Zhebie, the missing chieftain of the Yuxi tribe after the defeat in southern Xinjiang.
Xiao Kun put down the scroll in his hand and asked, "Did you alarm her?"
It was self-evident who she was referring to. Yin Shu curled his lips and said, "That woman is heartless. How could I possibly disturb her?"
He really couldn't understand. With Ji Yunshu's intelligence, it was impossible for her to know how dangerous Wu Ning was right now, but she didn't seem to be worried at all and ate and slept well every day.
Xiao Kun smiled unconsciously when he heard him say this: "That's good."
What's good about it?
Yin Shu felt that he was possessed by a demon, but he knew that as long as Ji Yunshu was involved, Xiao Kun would not listen to anything he said.
He had no choice but to change the subject, pointing to the man on the ground and asking, "Although he came here for selfish reasons, he is ostensibly doing things for the prince. What do you plan to do to him?"
Xiao Kun glanced at the person on the ground and said, "Go and have a rest. Just pretend you don't know anything about this."
Yin Shu was a little annoyed: "I personally captured the person, so you act like you don't know anything. You can do whatever you want, and I won't stop you. Why are you trying to be on guard against me? Will I report you to the prince?"
Xiao Kun looked out at the dark night, his expression gloomy and unclear: "The success or failure of the matter in the capital will depend on these few days. Don't you still want to overturn your father's verdict? I don't want to implicate you."
Yin Shu sneered, "I chose you a long time ago. Do you think the prince will still trust me after this trip to Southern Xinjiang? Honestly, if it had been more than a year ago, I would have hesitated. But now, I don't believe you can't see that the prince's chances of winning are slim. Otherwise, why would you let Zhao Shen return to the capital?"
Xiao Kun looked at him and asked with a smile: "Are you sure you won't regret it?"
Yin Shu said indifferently: "If it weren't for you, I would have died long ago. What is there to regret?"
Xiao Kun nodded: "Then go guard outside. No matter what happens, don't come in."
Yin Shu felt that Xiao Kun's mood was a little abnormal. Although he was usually a bit capricious, there was something obviously wrong with the way he looked at Zhebie.
But considering that it was related to Ji Yunshu, he was not surprised.
Over the years, the only person who could affect Xiao Kun's emotions was Ji Yunshu.
He said worriedly, "This man is a bit weird and mysterious. The prince seems to believe what he says. You must be careful."
The poisons in southern Xinjiang are very famous, and Zhebie is the best among them.
Yin Shu was a little worried that Xiao Kun would get caught by accident.
Xiao Kun said, "I know."
After saying that, he took out a small porcelain bottle from his body, poured out a pill from it, and stuffed it into Zhebie's mouth.
Only after seeing Zhebie swallow it with his own eyes did Yin Shu walk out with peace of mind.
In the room, Zhebie woke up slowly and saw Xiao Kun sitting on a chair.
Xiao Kun looked at him expressionlessly, not knowing what he was thinking.
Zhebie found that he had no strength in his body and could not even move a finger, so he knew that Xiao Kun had fed him medicine.
