Chapter 607 Late Night Appointment
Zhao Shen refused to fulfill her wish: "If I tell you now, it won't be a surprise. It's still early, you should go to sleep for a while."
Ji Yunshu was not sleepy. The more he didn't say, the more she wanted to know.
"Tell me about it."
Zhao Shen couldn't stand her coquettishness and said helplessly, "Didn't you say before that Lin Huixue brought something with her when she delivered the goods here? I asked Huo Cong to check, and although they didn't find any traces, they did smell the smell of sulfur."
"sulfur?"
Ji Yunshu was startled.
She couldn't help but glance around: "You mean he has gunpowder on his hand?"
Zhao Shen held her slightly cold hand in his palm. "Prince Yong had contact with Yichen earlier than us, so he must have known about gunpowder. Yichen is not the only one in the world who can make gunpowder. This long time is enough for them to gain something."
Ji Yunshu sighed. Technology was indeed born out of necessity.
"Your reliance is on Yichen's gunpowder. Now Lin Huixue also has gunpowder. How can you be sure of your victory?"
Ji Yunshu didn't understand how Zhao Shen could remain so calm.
Zhao Shen said: "Since I already know their trump card, how can I let them plot against me? Don't forget, Youzhou is your father's territory."
Ji Yunshu glared at him: "What nonsense! Youzhou is the emperor's territory. Who does my father matter?"
Zhao Shen rubbed her hair: "Don't worry, the emperor is not such a petty person."
Ji Yunshu didn't like him defending the emperor: "As if you can be his master."
Zhao Shen said: "No matter what, the emperor is a reasonable man. You shouldn't be prejudiced against him."
Ji Yunshu didn't want to argue with him, so he deliberately started to argue: "Are you trying to say that I don't understand things? My whole family has risked their lives for him, and I can't say a word to him?"
Zhao Shen kissed her lips: "I was wrong."
Ji Yunshu pushed him away: "Don't try to seduce me all the time."
She felt that Zhao Shen was going too far. Every time he talked about a topic he didn't want to talk about, he used this method to divert her attention.
Is she such a person without willpower?
Zhao Shen gently kissed her eyebrows and cheeks.
"We are husband and wife, how can this be called seduction?"
Ji Yunshu was so distracted by his kiss: "Still outside? Don't mess around."
Zhao Shen directly carried her back to the tent: "Since you are not sleepy, let's do something else."
Ji Yunshu felt like she had shot herself in the foot, but with Zhao Shen's actions, she soon had no time to think about anything else.
When Zhao Shen stopped, it was already the middle of the night. Ji Yunshu collapsed in the quilt, feeling sore all over and drowsy.
Zhao Shen personally wiped her body and covered her with a quilt. Seeing that she had fallen asleep, he got up and left the tent.
It was late at night and pitch black outside. When he walked a little further away from the tent, someone appeared.
"Prince, there's movement from Lin Huixue."
Zhao Shen was not surprised: "Is he planning to assassinate us or just blow us all up with gunpowder?"
The dark guard's voice sounded a little strange: "He wants to see you."
Zhao Shen raised his eyebrows: "See me?"
The secret guard nodded: "Yes, he is waiting for you not far away."
Zhao Shen barely thought about it and nodded: "Okay, let's meet him then."
He had a premonition that this might be the last time he would see Lin Huixue.
He left enough people to protect Ji Yunshu and the others, and then went to keep his appointment with Lin Huixue.
Lin Huixue was waiting not far away. Seeing him appear so quickly, she felt a little surprised and complicated.
"The prince is truly courageous."
Zhao Shen dismounted and walked up to Lin Huixue.
A bonfire was lit in front of Lin Huixue, emitting warmth in the cold night.
Zhao Shen sat down by the campfire and said, "Master Lin is no less capable than me."
Zhao Shen was courageous enough to keep the appointment so late at night, and so was Lin Huixue, who dared to meet him at this time.
Zhao Shen is a rare master in the world. Even if he really falls into Lin Huixue's trap, it will not be difficult to kill him when they are so close.
Lin Huixue said confidently, "I know that the prince is a man who values the overall situation and will not act rashly."
Zhao Shen shook his head: "It's hard to say. There are times when I can't take the overall situation into consideration."
Lin Huixue looked at Zhao Shen in surprise. He had always thought that Zhao Shen was an elegant scholar who was noble and graceful because of his background.
He is the kind of ideal gentleman in troubled times that people imagine.
But as he got to know her better, he discovered that it was not the case.
But even so, he felt that Zhao Shen was a loyal and patriotic man.
Now, looking at the other person's calm expression and nonchalant tone, he vaguely understood that he was still wrong.
Zhao Shen may not care about the things he thinks he cares about.
This meant he was tougher to deal with than he thought.
"If that's the case, why did the prince come?"
Why come here when you know it's dangerous?
Are you really so confident?
He admitted that he was very skilled in Kung Fu, but in this world, just because you were very skilled in Kung Fu didn't mean you could do whatever you wanted.
Zhao Shen didn't answer his question, but calmly asked, "What about you? Why did you come? Do you really think you can win? Have you ever thought about what will happen if you lose?"
Lin Huixue was stunned for a moment, then quickly said, "Of course, it's just a death. I've lived long enough in this world. Prince Zhao, have you decided to die too?"
They all had a consensus that this time, if they lost, they would die.
Zhao Shen nodded: "I have lived long enough. The poison in my body has not been cured yet. I may die at any time."
If he hadn't married Ji Yunshu, he might have died by now.
Lin Huixue felt a little bit tricky. If Zhao Shen came with the determination to die, things might be out of his control.
After all, he will die on his own, but he shouldn't let Ji Yunshu die with him.
He looked at Zhao Shen warily: "What exactly are you going to do?"
Zhao Shen smiled: "Shouldn't I be the one asking you this?"
Lin Huixue realized she had lost control of the conversation and felt irritated. She simply said, "I want you to die, but Ji Yunshu can live. If you want her to live, you should think about it carefully."
Zhao Shen said, "What makes you think you can kill me? Are you such a loser?"
While they were talking, they were surrounded by people.
Zhao Shen glanced at those people with a cold expression.
His eyes seemed to be real, and finally fell on Lin Huixue.
Lin Huixue's heart couldn't help but chill, and she began to play her trump card: "Before you came, I had people bury gunpowder here. You know how powerful that thing is. What I have may not be as powerful as what Taoist Yichen made, but it's enough to blow this place into ruins. Once it ignites, Ji Yunshu will not survive."
Zhao Shen smiled and said, "So I brought Miss Cen with me. Are you sure you want her to die with Ah Shu?"
Lin Huixue's expression paused for a moment, then returned to normal in an instant: "She's just a woman. Prince Zhao doesn't think I care about her life or death when facing such a big issue, right?"
