Chapter 550: A Sign of Great Disaster
His eyes flashed, he looked up and smiled, "What do you mean, my lord?"
Xiao Kun chuckled and said, "It's nothing special. I just wanted to ask what the clan leader is doing in Youzhou at this time?"
Of course Zhebie knew that Xiao Kun had someone knock him out and brought him here, and it couldn't be as simple as just questioning him.
He asked in return: "If I remember correctly, the prince should be in the capital now. Is there anything that brings you here?"
Xiao Kun said, "It seems that my father has been very courteous to the clan leader over the years, which makes you look down on me like this."
As he spoke, he stood up and walked in front of Zhebie, squatted down and looked carefully at the person who was lying on the ground and unable to move.
After a while, he continued, "That's not right. Not only do you not take me seriously, you don't even take my father seriously."
A person like Zhebie who is highly regarded by King Yong should be in the capital, but he came here instead.
Xiao Kun didn't think what he had to do was really that urgent.
The most likely possibility is that he was not sure whether King Yong could succeed, so he came here on the pretext of something.
In this way, even if King Yong was defeated, he would not be implicated.
Having his thoughts correctly guessed, Zhebie no longer bothered to hide his feelings: "The prince is here because he sees that it will be difficult for the prince to succeed this time, right?"
Xiao Kun really didn't realize this, he just felt that the chances of success were slim.
But hearing Zhebie's confident words at this moment, he remembered that this southern border chief was able to see through the secrets of heaven, and it was precisely for this reason that King Yong recruited him.
Xiao Kun narrowed his eyes and said, "You knew about this, but you didn't tell Father?"
Zhebie sighed, "In fact, the prince was indeed blessed with purple energy at first, and had the appearance of an emperor. But in the past year, the situation has changed so rapidly. I went to the capital a few days ago and found that the luck of the prince's son, who could help him succeed, had been reduced to one tenth of what it was. He has become an ordinary person. At that time, I knew that the prince would not succeed this time. I told the prince this, but he refused to believe it. He thought what I said was nonsense."
Everyone in the world is like this. They believe in fate, but they are only willing to believe in fate that is favorable to them.
Just like when he saw that Prince Yong had the appearance of an emperor, the other party immediately believed him and accepted him.
However, the war in southern Xinjiang was a failure. When he went to Beijing this time and found out that things were going badly, Prince Yong refused to believe him.
Xiao Kun quickly extracted the key information from his words.
The so-called son who could help King Yong succeed was Zhao Heng.
He had known for a long time that Zhao Heng was the illegitimate son of King Yong.
So according to what Zhebie said, Prince Yong was unable to accomplish anything because something went wrong on Zhao Heng's side?
The biggest change that happened to Zhao Heng in the past two years was that Ji Yunshu, whom he was supposed to marry, did not marry him.
With a guess in mind, he asked again: "It seems that the clan leader knows what went wrong with Zhao Heng."
He spoke in a straightforward manner and his expression was exceptionally calm, as if he didn't care about anything.
However, Zhebie felt an inexplicable pressure, which made him dare not play any tricks anymore, because he saw from the beginning that even if Prince Yong could succeed, in the end it would only be a wedding dress for the prince.
But it was common sense that the son would inherit the father's property, and it was not worth it for him to reveal the secret, so he did not mention it to King Yong.
Now it seems that it has helped this person a lot.
King Yong probably doesn't know what kind of person this son is.
He had never felt as though he were a fish on the chopping board as he did now, with his life and death decided by this prince.
When he visited the house this time, he had his fortune told, and it was a very bad omen.
So he hid carefully all the way, especially after entering Youzhou, for fear of being discovered by the Ji family.
I didn't expect that the disaster would happen here.
He didn't know what Xiao Kun was planning, so he answered honestly, "He was supposed to marry General Ji's daughter, establish a connection with the Ji family, join the Youzhou army, and then replace the Ji father and son, taking over the command of 200,000 troops. This would be the greatest help to the prince. Unfortunately, Miss Ji has changed, and all these plans have failed."
Another flash of lightning seemed to cross Xiao Kun's mind: "What do you mean by changed?"
Zhebie looked embarrassed. He had mentioned this to Ji Yunshu at the beginning because Ji Yunshu was the person involved, and he couldn't say that she knew everything.
But Xiao Kun is different. There are some things that cannot be said casually.
Seeing him like this, Xiao Kun closed his eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "So she is not Ji Yunshu at all?"
This was the most likely conclusion he came to after thinking things over.
It is also the conclusion he is most reluctant to believe.
Zhebie was startled: "You know everything?"
Xiao Kun looked at him coldly: "What's going on?"
Zhebie didn't know what he meant, so he said, "That night, I saw the stars suddenly change and souls from other worlds arrived. Later, I discovered that the person who changed the fate of many people was Miss Ji. And the day the change happened was the day the second son of the Changxing Marquis's mansion got married."
Xiao Kun paused before asking again, "What about her original self? Can she come back?"
Only then did Zhebie see some emotion on Xiao Kun's gloomy face. He was about to say something when he heard Xiao Kun say, "I advise you to be honest, otherwise you may not be able to bear the consequences."
Zhebie looked at his deep eyes and subconsciously felt danger. He thought that if he was caught, all the things he brought would fall into the hands of the other party.
He quickly told her everything he knew: "Actually, I felt strange when the stars' orbits changed. This kind of otherworldly soul is actually very fragile. If you are not careful, your soul will be torn apart. So the only possibility for her to survive safely is that Miss Ji willingly let her enter her body. In fact, I have discovered other strange things in the past year, and finally came up with a somewhat absurd hypothesis."
"What guess?"
Xiao Kun felt that everything he heard was ridiculous enough.
Zhebie swallowed and said, "Although my guess is a bit outrageous, it is the closest possibility to the truth that I have come up with based on reality. I think all the changes originated from the wedding night of the Second Young Master Zhao and Miss Ji. That night, Miss Ji changed her marriage partner to the Crown Prince Zhao, thus ruining everything that the prince had arranged on the Youzhou border. But, has the Crown Prince ever thought about what would have happened if Miss Ji had not changed her marriage partner? What would have happened?"
What would happen if Xiao Kun continued thinking along his lines?
Zhao Heng already had a lover, and he married Ji Yunshu only for the military power of the Ji family.
When something happens to the Ji family father and son in Youzhou, what will become of Ji Yunshu?
Just look at Wei Yuanmin now and you will know that without her father and brother to rely on, she will only be more miserable.
Thinking of this, Xiao Kun couldn't help but feel heavy in his heart.
Zhebie's voice rang out again, "It seems the Crown Prince has also thought of this. So my guess is that Miss Ji must have experienced what we imagine. After her death, she must have had some opportunity to pull the soul from another world into her own body, causing everything to return to the night her tragic fate began. Therefore, she must have died, without even a soul left behind, and it is impossible for her to return."
