Chapter 609 We Are Not the Ones to Worry Now
Zhao Shen laughed, his tone contemptuous and disdainful: "Who does Prince Yong think he is? What right does he have to decide the life and death of others?"
In such a short time, Lin Huixue seemed to have come to his senses. He said in a trance, "Yeah, what right does he have to decide other people's life and death..."
As he spoke, blood trickled down the corner of his mouth.
Zhao Shen saw that it was almost time, so he stood up and walked back.
Lin Huixue said from behind him, "You will treat her well, right?"
Zhao Shen knew he was talking about Cen Xi, and said without comment: "She is Ah Shu's friend."
He wouldn't be kind, nor would he do anything to her.
Lin Huixue understood. His breath had become weak, but he still insisted: "The antidote to the poison in your body is in the hands of the prince. He wants to use it to control you..."
His voice just stopped.
Zhao Shen turned around and glanced at the man who had already died. His white clothes were whiter than snow.
Also died in such a snowy season.
"control……"
Zhao Shen murmured softly, then ordered the secret guards around him, "Burn the body and give the ashes to Miss Cen."
Although Lin Huixue really had no hope of survival this time, he could still do it and perish together with his enemies.
Zhao Shen knew that his final decision to give up was because of Cen Xi.
This person, who everyone thought was heartless, was actually moved by emotions.
When he returned to the tent, Ji Yunshu had already woken up.
She knew something was going to happen tonight, and even though she was extremely tired, she couldn't sleep well.
He woke up in a daze when he realized that Zhao Shen was gone.
It was unusually quiet outside, which made her even more uneasy, but she also knew there was nothing she could do.
If you get up and go out, you are very likely to fall into the hands of the enemy.
Zhao Shen will definitely ensure her safety by leaving her here.
She had no choice but to lie in the quilt and stare blankly.
It was only when Zhao Shen lay down beside her that he realized she was awake.
"Why aren't you sleeping?"
Ji Yunshu did not answer his question, but said: "Lin Huixue..."
After saying this name, she suddenly didn't know what to ask?
It was quiet outside, but Zhao Shen went out and came back safe and sound, so it was likely that the matter had been resolved.
Although it was a little unbelievable, she always believed in Zhao Shen's ability.
Zhao Shen did not disappoint her expectations. He seemed to understand what she wanted to know and said directly, "He's dead."
Ji Yunshu: “…”
Such a troublemaker, just died like that?
Ji Yunshu was a little overwhelmed to react for a moment.
Zhao Shen continued, "He buried gunpowder here, but I had people dig it out in advance. The people he brought with him couldn't be our opponents. So we didn't fight."
Ji Yunshu still felt that this man had died too easily: "He didn't hold back this time?"
"He did. He buried gunpowder in the yard where he lived. But Miss Cen went there and said that if he hurt anyone, the child in her womb would atone for his sins. Then he committed suicide by taking poison."
This paragraph contained so much information that Ji Yunshu was surprised at first: "Cen Xi is pregnant?"
Then he quickly recalled Cen Xi's recent abnormalities: she had developed a fondness for sweets, her appetite had increased significantly, she was always sleepy, and she even refused to ride horses...
Then she realized: "Lin Huixue actually has feelings for Cen Xi?"
Zhao Shen remained noncommittal. "He's a human being, too. Why wouldn't he have feelings? And since he's going to die anyway, there's nothing wrong with him accumulating some virtue for his children after his death."
Zhao Shen didn’t think Lin Huixue liked Cen Xi very much. After all, he had never tried to change anything for Cen Xi.
I have been walking on a road that is doomed to have no good ending.
As for the baby in Cen Xi's belly, it was even more of an accident.
Ji Yunshu said, "It's not easy. He's staying at an inn. If the gunpowder exploded, who knows how many people would be killed or injured. For this, can you not let him go?"
Zhao Shen didn't think it was a big deal: "He escaped this time, but what about the next time? This time he achieved nothing in Mobei. Even if he escaped with his life, King Yong would not let him go. He just made the most advantageous choice, not the romantic saint in your eyes."
Ji Yunshu: "When did I think he was a love saint?"
Zhao Shen said, "I see you were very moved when you heard that he committed suicide because of Cen Xi's words."
Ji Yunshu glanced at him and said, "I just didn't expect him to give in for Cen Xi. I'm a little surprised."
Zhao Shen scoffed, "It's just a matter of weighing the pros and cons. What's so surprising about that?"
Ji Yunshu punched him: "He's already dead, and his death was quite honorable. What good will it do if you say a few nice words to him?"
Zhao Shen: "If I remember correctly, last time he threatened me with the lives of a hundred people to stop me from returning to Wuning, you wanted him to die."
Ji Yunshu: "It's a different time now. What he did back then really made people want him dead, but now he's dead. There's no need to speak ill of a dead person."
Zhao Shen nodded: "Madam is right."
Ji Yunshu felt that he was a little weird, but had no evidence.
I had to change the subject: "Okay, the person is dead, there is nothing to say, shall we go back tomorrow?"
Zhao Shen said, "Don't worry. We are here to see the horse farm. Now that we are here, we need to do what needs to be done."
"But aren't you in a hurry to go back?"
Now that Lin Huixue is dead, peace talks with Mobei can probably be put on the agenda.
This matter has been delayed for too long, and Ji Yunshu thinks it is better to resolve it as soon as possible.
Zhao Shen shook his head: "We are not the ones who should be anxious now."
Ji Yunshu immediately understood what he meant.
The people of Mobei have been struggling for so long and are still wavering. They should really wait and see.
"Okay, tomorrow Qian Qian and I will go to the horse farm. We can always ask Mo Bei for more horses this time, right?"
Zhao Shen chuckled softly: "Well, you can have as many as you want."
His laughter rang in his ears, low and pleasant. Ji Yunshu felt a tingling in his heart and wanted him to stop doing such a foul.
Not wanting to remind him, after a moment, she said, "Please help me estimate a number that the people of Mobei would accept. I'm afraid if I ask for too much, they'll think that peace talks are worse than fighting us to the death."
Zhao Shen smiled again: "Okay."
This time, without waiting for Ji Yunshu's response, he quickly said, "It's getting late, go to bed. We still have things to do tomorrow."
He knew Ji Yunshu's habits. He loved to sleep in and could sleep until noon when he had nothing to do.
But she came here to do some business, and Qian Qian and Cen Xi were here, so she couldn't sleep too late.
Ji Yunshu felt relieved and sleepiness returned. He leaned on Zhao Shen's arms and quickly fell asleep.
Even so, she still got up late the next day.
But Cen Xi got up later than her.
Qian Qian didn't disturb them. He got up early in the morning and rode his horse to look at the land around.
When Ji Yunshu heard the message Qian Qian had left, he secretly cursed himself for being unreliable and actually letting a little girl go on an errand alone.
She was about to have breakfast when Cen Xi also got up and came over.
Ji Yunshu saw that Cen Xi had something to say, so he invited her to have dinner together.
