Chapter 671 I Thought You Would Come Back
Ji Yunshu and Xianxian just lay quietly on the bed.
The noise outside grew louder and louder. They could hear the sounds of fighting. The light from the torches shone in, casting a glow of fire in the tent.
Xianxian felt her heart beating violently and asked in a panic, "Are they soldiers? Will they be no match for the pirates?"
Ji Yunshu said, "They are Marquis Jingning's personal soldiers. If they couldn't even deal with a few pirates, Marquis Jingning wouldn't be alive today."
Others didn't know, but Ji Yunshu had heard from Zhao Shen that Qi Zheng had been on the southern sea for many years, and his men had been fighting against Japanese pirates and water bandits all year round, and each of them was an elite soldier.
This is also the reason why the emperor chose him to come.
Xianxian asked curiously, "Sir, do you know Marquis Jingning well?"
Ji Yunshu looked at her, and there was a hint of invisible inquiry in her eyes, which were somewhat similar to his own.
This reminded her that the other party was not an ordinary weak woman, and the reason for surrendering to her was definitely not as simple as she said.
She laughed and said, "I've only met him twice, so I don't know him well."
Xianxian asked puzzledly, "But didn't you tell him about what happened on the ship?"
"Why would you think so? I came here just to eat, drink and have fun with my sisters. How could I have discovered something so important? Marquis Jingning knew about it, so of course he found it out himself."
Xianxian didn't know whether he believed it or not, so she didn't ask any more questions. She just said, "It seems that Marquis Jingning is not as incompetent as the Eleventh Young Master said."
Ji Yunshu said meaningfully, "Why would the emperor send such an incompetent person here?"
Xianxian thought thoughtfully: "Do you know the emperor well?"
Ji Yunshu asked, "Is it difficult to understand the Emperor? Just looking at what he has done over the years, you can tell he's no ordinary person, right?"
Emperor Jingming's luck was not actually very good. He ascended the throne at a young age, but took over a mess.
But in recent years, he seemed a little weak on the surface, constrained by the harem and the court families, but in fact he did not give in.
I have been advancing my ideas slowly and purposefully.
Now that he has taken sole control of power, the aristocratic families have been suppressed. Taking advantage of the incident involving Prince Yong, he has cleaned up the court.
Now if the Yu family is dealt with, the local big families will also be more restrained.
The emperor will then be able to free up his hands to recuperate and allow the people to live and work in peace.
If everything goes well, Emperor Jingming will feel that he is a wise ruler.
Xianxian laughed at herself and said, "How can people like us know what the emperor has done? The people we see on a daily basis are all those who come to places like this. If you ask me, I'm afraid that all men in this world are bad, at least I haven't met any."
Ji Yunshu was amused by her. It was indeed difficult to find a good man on a flower boat.
Seeing her smile, Xianxian started to laugh herself: "I was really surprised by your appearance, but it's a pity that my joy was in vain."
Ji Yunshu said, "How can you be so happy in vain? I can do what you expect men to do. Isn't that good? If we women pin our hopes on men, we will inevitably be disappointed."
Xianxian was silent for a moment, then said with emotion: "You are right. Now I know how you dare to come to a place like this disguised as a man."
As the two were talking, the noise outside became quieter and quieter.
Ji Yunshu suppressed his urge to go watch the fun and slowly closed his eyes.
Xianxian waited for a moment, and after making sure she was asleep, she got up and left quietly.
She slipped into a room around the corner.
Yu Shiyi was inside with a gloomy expression.
She asked cautiously, "Sir, what's wrong?"
Yu Shiyi said in a grim tone, "This ship has been under surveillance these days. My letter was never delivered, and the person who sent it was caught red-handed."
Xianxian asked, "Is it Marquis Jingning who brought these people here?"
Yu Shiyi raised his sinister eyes and looked at her: "How do you know?"
After saying this, he seemed to remember something and sneered, "That Mr. Zhao said that? He's staying overnight, and you still haven't figured out his background?"
Xianxian lowered her eyes and said, "How could he show his true face in a place like this? Even if he told me, I wouldn't believe it."
Yu Shiyi said coldly, "Marquis Jingning suddenly brought people here. Does it have anything to do with him?"
Xianxian shook her head. "I can't tell. We need to slowly investigate this young master's background. Now the most important thing is what to do? If Marquis Jingning captures those people, will this ship be lost?"
Yu Shiyi said, "Don't worry, those people don't know much. Besides, they all have families in our care, so they won't say anything. As long as they don't say anything, we won't be implicated."
Xianxian patted her chest: "That's good."
Yu Shiyi said, "This place has been targeted. I won't be here often from now on. Be careful. If anything goes wrong, you know what will happen."
Xianxian's heart trembled when she heard his threatening words, and she quickly said, "Don't worry, sir."
When Ji Yunshu woke up, it was already dawn.
he
She said goodbye to Xianxian and found that everything was normal, as if nothing had happened last night.
She thought these people had really strong mental qualities.
When she returned to her room, Zhao Shen was already waiting for her.
Ji Yunshu took a look at his complexion and couldn't help asking, "Have you been waiting here all night?"
Zhao Shen's expression was somewhat resentful: "I thought you would come back."
Ji Yunshu said embarrassedly, "Yu Shiyi was there last night, and I was afraid he would suspect me, so I stayed there all night."
Zhao Shen raised his eyebrows: "When did he stop doubting you?"
Ji Yunshu has always been full of flaws, and Yu Shiyi was destined to doubt her from the first moment he saw her.
The incident happened suddenly last night, but she unexpectedly stayed overnight. It would be strange if Yu Shiyi didn't suspect her.
Ji Yunshu touched his nose and said, "I want him to be suspicious, so that his eyes will fall on me. He even invited me to attend Old Master Yu's birthday banquet. I think this identity is not bad."
Zhao Shen couldn't do anything about her, so he pulled her into his arms: "I waited for you all night, and you're telling me this?"
As they got closer, Ji Yunshu could clearly see the dark shadows in his eyes. Thinking that he must have been very worried about her that night, she apologized, "It's my fault for not telling you at the last minute."
Zhao Shen looked a little tired, but his tone when speaking to Ji Yunshu was still gentle: "It's not a big deal, but that ship is really not safe. It's better for you not to go there in the future."
Ji Yunshu said, "It depends on the situation. Xianxian gave me something that she said could prove that General Yang was framed. She seemed very worried about his safety."
Zhao Shen said: "It's hard to say why she did this. You have to be careful."
Ji Yunshu blinked and said, "She knows I'm a woman. Do you think she will tell Yu Shiyi this news?"
Ji Yunshu was discovered on purpose. She thought it was a good idea to use such an insignificant thing to test whether Xianxian was reliable.
