Chapter 566: No matter which choice you make, it's wrong
"Zhao Shen's weakness..."
Lin Huixue seemed to have thought of something interesting and laughed again.
"That's naturally Ji Yunshu. So I said, as long as Ji Yunshu is in my hands, I don't have to worry even if Mobei loses this time."
Helian Ye hesitated a little: "But my cousin doesn't want to completely break up with Daxia."
Lin Huixue didn't take it seriously: "It's come to this, isn't it considered a falling out? In this world, the winner is king. If you're so timid, what great things can you achieve?"
After all, Helian Ye grew up on the grassland, was born into a noble family, practiced martial arts since childhood, and considered himself a warrior. How could he tolerate others saying this to him?
He immediately said, "Whatever you say, I'll listen to you."
Lin Huixue said in a teasing tone: "Aren't you worried that your cousin will be angry?"
Helian Ye's brown eyes were filled with resentment and resentment: "Now her eyes and heart are full of that bastard, how can she still see me?"
A hint of sarcasm appeared in Lin Huixue's eyes, but it disappeared in an instant.
"Then let's act tonight. We can take advantage of the Queen's negotiation with Ji Yunshu to catch them off guard."
Helian Ye was a little worried: "I heard that Zhao Shen has left the capital and will be here soon."
Lin Hui Xueman didn't care much and said, "Don't worry, I've arranged for someone to entertain him on the way. I might not be able to do anything to him, but I can still delay him. At least tonight, he definitely won't be able to reach Wuning."
Helian Ye heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that Zhao Shen couldn't come. "Ji Changlin is in the barracks now, Ji Yunlan is injured, and although Ji Yunshu is being protected, as long as we have enough manpower, capturing her shouldn't be a problem."
Lin Huixue heard his confidence and hid the contempt in her eyes and smiled: "Yes, as long as we capture Ji Yunshu alive, we will be invincible."
Time passed quickly. In the evening, Zhao Shen led a group of people on horseback.
The cold wind felt like a knife cutting my face.
When passing a small town, Jingzhe looked at the sky and said, "It looks like it's going to snow. I'm afraid we won't be able to make it tonight. Why don't we rest here for a night?"
Traveling on a snowy night is really a hassle.
There was clearly nothing unusual in Youzhou, but the prince rode at full speed all the way, and no one knew what he was worried about.
Madam, it’s unlikely that anything will happen to you on General Ji’s territory.
Zhao Shen also glanced at the sky. It did look like it was going to snow. He frowned and said, "Let's rest for a while. We'll continue our journey tonight."
For some reason, the closer he got to Wu Ning, the more uneasy he felt.
Prince Yong must still be alive, but he has been too quiet these days.
Zhao Shen didn't think that he would just give up like that. It was very likely that he was planning something in secret.
The only thing that can be done at this time is the war in Mobei.
Moreover, many of King Yong's plans were ruined by him, and now he is probably deliberately trying to deal with him.
And his only weakness is Ji Yunshu.
Thinking of this, Zhao Shen asked Jingzhe: "Didn't you receive any news from Wu Ning today?"
Jingzhe said: "Not yet, maybe it's nothing."
Shen Qin shook his head. "I remember the letter from two days ago saying that the Queen of Mobei had arrived in Wuning. Do you think she came here for sightseeing because she found the scenery in Mobei unpleasant?"
Jingzhe: "Then she wouldn't dare to do anything under General Ji's nose."
Wuning is a military stronghold with General Ji in charge. Even if the Queen of Mobei wants to do something in such a place, she has to think carefully.
Shen Qin looked at Zhao Shen's pursed lips, as if he could sense his anxiety. "The Queen of Mobei will definitely consider the overall situation, but others may not. Prince Yong has regarded General Ji as a serious threat for many years. I don't know how many people he has buried in Wuning. Now he hates the Crown Prince to the core. If he captures his wife, he can threaten General Ji and the Crown Prince at the same time. Isn't that killing two birds with one stone?"
Jingzhe immediately looked at Zhao Shen, and seeing that he didn't say anything, he knew that he agreed with Shen Qin's statement.
He stopped complaining about the weather and said, "Then let's hurry up and get on the road."
Zhao Shen glanced at the small town in front of him. In such weather, it seemed that few people went out, and the streets looked particularly deserted.
Jingzhe was just about to ask why there was no one here when he heard Shen Qin say, "Something is wrong here."
Zhao Shen looked around the quiet town for a moment, then suddenly raised his voice, "Since you've come for me, aren't you going to show up?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a man in black walked out of a house with a knife in his hand, which was placed on the neck of a child.
The child looked no more than six or seven years old. In such a cold day, he was wearing a thin cotton-padded jacket. The clothes were torn, revealing the thin layer of cotton quilting inside.
He was grabbed by the collar by the man in black, his body trembling, looking extremely scared, wanting to cry but not daring to.
Zhao Shenruyu's face seemed to be covered with a layer of ice and snow in an instant. Even if you just looked at him, you could feel the coldness from him.
"Are you going to threaten me with this child? He and I have no relationship at all, why should I be threatened by you?"
His voice seemed to be covered in frost, and it sounded bone-chillingly cold.
The man in black met Zhao Shen's cold gaze, not afraid at all. Instead, he was somewhat excited. He chuckled and said, "It's not this one child, but the people of this entire town. Over a hundred lives in exchange for Lord Zhao staying here for one night."
Zhao Shen's eyes were as cold as a knife, but the person in front of him was not afraid at all.
He immediately realized that this was a desperado who would kill without blinking an eye.
Prince Yong is indeed very capable.
Even Jingzhe realized that they were in big trouble.
If the prince insists on leaving, these people will kill everyone in the town.
But if they stayed here as they wished, the lady would be in danger.
No matter what choice you make, it seems to be wrong.
He looked at the prince's cold face and knew that he was really angry.
He was shocked and wondered how long it had been since he saw the prince angry.
It seems that the prince's temper has improved a lot since he got married.
These people are really not afraid of death.
Zhao Shen's side was caught in a standoff. In Wuning City, Wujina waited and waited in the inn, but not only did the people sent to follow Helian Ye not come back, but even Helian Ye disappeared.
The people around her were a little worried and asked, "Could something have happened?"
Wu Jina shook her head: "I'm fine. Who would touch him unless he did something he shouldn't have done."
She felt a little regretful. She had clearly discovered that something was wrong with her cousin, so why did she let him go out alone?
It is impossible that my cousin would target Ji Yunshu for no reason. This is more like the work of Prince Yong.
It was obvious that King Yong did not want the war to end like this.
Or perhaps Mobei's role had not yet satisfied him.
He wanted Mobei and Daxia to fight each other from the beginning, but the reality was that both sides held back.
"Prince Yong, what exactly do you want to do?"
The men under her command heard her mumbling to herself and couldn't help but ask, "Are you saying that Young Master Helian's disappearance is related to Prince Yong?"
