Chapter 573 Signing the Contract
Ji Yunlan: "I just sent someone to capture the assassin's accomplices, one of whom is from Mobei. What do you think, Your Majesty?"
How can she see it?
Wujina said with despair, "I've already written to your sister about his affairs. You can handle it as you wish."
Ji Yunlan smiled and said, "That's fine. My brother-in-law just said that we won't spare any assassins who come tonight..."
Wujina: "What do you want?"
No matter what Helian Ye did behind her back, he was a Mobei person after all, and the young master of the Ulan tribe.
We certainly can’t really let the Daxia people do whatever they want.
Moreover, she discovered that although Ji Yunlan looked gentle and refined, he was actually no easier to talk to than Zhao Shen.
On top of that, he seemed to be in a bad mood right now.
That’s right, no one would be in a good mood if someone broke into their house and wanted to kill their sister.
Looking at Zhao Shen again, although he didn't look tired, he had rushed back so late at night, and the journey must have been not peaceful.
When I came back, I saw Ji Yunshu being assassinated.
None of the assassins were left alive.
You can tell that he won't be in a good mood right now.
Ji Yunshu seemed to be completely absorbed in Zhao Shen's affairs, and had someone prepare a midnight snack before he even entered the room.
They were still eating before the assassin came in, so it was obvious who this midnight snack was prepared for.
At this moment, she was making tea on the small stove in the house, adding milk to it, and it smelled delicious.
Wujina withdrew her gaze, she wanted to end the battle quickly.
Ji Yunlan also noticed her sister's behavior. It was obvious that Zhao Shen had returned, so she didn't intend to care about these things.
My mind is quite clear.
He smiled and said, "That man is said to be the young master of the Ulan tribe. If the Queen wants him, she can just pay something to redeem him. The deal we agreed on before will remain unchanged."
Wujina was mentally prepared for this. After all, it was a private transaction, and Ji Yunlan should not make things too difficult for her.
"What do you want?"
Ji Yunlan said: "Five thousand horses."
What Daxia lacks most is good horses from Mobei.
The Ulan tribe was one of the largest tribes in Mobei and had plenty of horses.
Wujina frowned: "Five thousand horses is a bit too much."
Mobei produces good horses, but since this is to redeem Helian Ye, we definitely cannot allow other tribes to produce them.
It is possible to use so many Ma Wulan troops, but it will inevitably cause serious damage.
Thinking of this, Wujina couldn't help but look at Ji Yunlan. He must have thought carefully about this number.
Ji Yunlan laughed and said, "The young master of the Wulan tribe, isn't he worth so much? Or does Your Majesty think that Wuning is a place where you can come and go as you please, and my sister is someone you can move around as you please?"
Wujina understood that what made Ji Yunlan angry was that Helian Ye dared to set his sights on Ji Yunshu.
If he didn't want to exacerbate the conflict between the two countries, he probably wouldn't want to release the person at all.
I would rather kill a chicken to scare the monkeys and show everyone what will happen to those who dare to touch Ji Yunshu.
She saw coldness in Ji Yunlan's smiling eyes.
Thinking about how Helian Ye acted on his own initiative and contacted people from Prince Yong's Mansion behind her back, he really deserved a lesson.
Then he nodded and said, "Okay, I agree."
Ji Yunlan went to see Ji Yunshu. In fact, according to his opinion, he should have killed Helian Ye directly so that those people would never dare to target Ji Yunshu again.
But Ji Yunshu disagreed. She had sent someone to pass on the message that Helian Ye could be exchanged for something.
That's why he proposed this amount that would make Wujina feel painful, but she would definitely agree to it.
At this time, Wujina did not bargain anymore, and he felt better. However, since it was related to Ji Yunshu, it still depended on her own opinion.
Ji Yunshu, however, seemed to be completely unconcerned about what they were saying, and was conscientiously watching the milk tea in the small pot boil.
She poured a cup for everyone present, and then said to Zhao Shen, "I didn't put too much sugar in it, try it."
She thought milk tea tasted better when it was sweet, but Zhao Shen didn't like sweet food, so Ji Yunshu didn't force him.
It’s so cold and I’m traveling at night, so I still need to drink something hot to feel comfortable.
Ji Yunlan watched the interaction between the two, understood what she meant, and smiled helplessly.
Someone wrote a contract and the two signed it.
Next was the matter of the land. Zhao Shen didn’t know about it before. He took a look at the map and gave Ji Yunlan a meaningful look.
Ji Yunlan looked back at him expressionlessly.
Wu Jina watched the interaction between the two, feeling very nervous. She simply asked directly, "At this point, let alone this piece of land, I would agree even if you asked for something else. But can you please let me know clearly what it is about this piece of land that you value so much?"
The contract for transferring the land had already been written. Ji Yunlan handed it to Wu Rina and said, "Sign first."
Wujina reluctantly signed her name and pressed her fingerprints: "Can you tell me now?"
Ji Yunlan took the contract back and sighed, "Nothing special. There's just an iron mine there, and Prince Yong secretly forged some weapons, intending to use this to frame my father for rebellion."
Ji Yunshu: “…”
How come she doesn't know?
Turning to look at Zhao Shen, Zhao Shen nodded: "I just found out too, Prince Yong has been too low-key recently. I guess if he wants to cause trouble, it will be here."
So even now, King Yong has not given up on killing her entire family.
She was a little angry: "How did our family offend him?"
Ji Yunlan laughed: "Isn't this obvious? Our family has a large number of troops and is also a relative of the emperor, so we are blocking his way."
King Yong has always been a man who prospers when he obeys others and perishes when he disobeys them.
I won’t talk about what happened in the capital, I guess it was just a joke.
But Youzhou is different. He started planning more than ten years ago and planted so many spies.
This shows how much importance he attaches to the Ji family, or to military power.
Ji Yunshu put the whole thing together and thought about it, then suddenly realized, "This is exactly why they encouraged Helian Ye to arrest me. They don't want this land to fall into our hands."
No wonder there was movement over there just after they talked about this matter with Wujina.
This piece of land originally belonged to Mobei. Once Wujina gave it to Ji Yunlan, Ji Yunlan could immediately report it to the court.
At that time, not only would King Yong not be able to use it to frame the Ji family, but he would also be charged with the crime of privately casting weapons.
Although he had already rebelled, this was not an additional charge.
But it always allows more people to recognize his true face.
It is true that he was colluding with Mobei to plot rebellion.
After hearing this, Wujina no longer worried about whether it was an iron mine or not. To her, this piece of land was now a hot potato.
If she were to be kept in his hands, the emperor of Daxia might accuse her of assisting Prince Yong in his rebellion and providing him with weapons.
The work was done, and she was worried about Bilige, so she didn't want to delay any longer, so she got up and said goodbye.
Ji Yunlan then had Helian Ye brought out of the dungeon and handed over to her.
Really leave it to her.
Helian Ye was tortured, and although he looked fine on the surface, he felt pain all over his body whenever he moved.
When he saw Wujina, he lowered his head in shame: "Cousin."
Wujina was originally very angry, but seeing him like this, she didn't say anything more and had him carried away.
