Chapter 698 Zhao Shen's Crow Mouth
Qingyu bit her lip and said nothing.
Ji Yunshu understood: "What do you want me to do?"
Qingyu said somewhat embarrassedly: "I know I shouldn't use this method to threaten you, but I really have no other choice."
Ji Yunshu gently comforted her: "Don't worry, it's nothing. If the information you know is valuable, then it's completely reasonable for you to use it to exchange for what you want."
Qingyu didn't think this was reasonable: "But everything you did was for the people, and I was taking advantage of them."
Ji Yunshu shook his head. "You're also a commoner. Although I don't know what happened to put you in this situation, it's not your choice. If I can, I should help you. You don't have to feel guilty. What I promised you before will always stand."
Some words touched her heart, and Qingyu began to cry softly: "I was born in the Yin family of Yuzhou. When my family was convicted, I was six years old, just old enough to remember things but unable to do anything. My whole family is dead, but someone told me that my brother is still alive and brought a token. I want to ask Madam to save my brother."
When Ji Yunshu heard the surname Yin, a person suddenly popped up in his mind: "Is your brother called Yin Shu?"
Yin is not a common surname, and it is related to King Yong, so Ji Yunshu thought of him first.
Qingyu asked in surprise: "Madam, do you know him?"
Ji Yunshu recalled the days in southern Xinjiang when Yin Shu had been by her side protecting her for a long time.
After knowing the relationship between the two, Ji Yunshu looked at Qingyu carefully again and found that this face did look a bit like Yin Shu.
"I kind of know him. He is indeed in the hands of Prince Yong now, and I was planning to rescue him."
This was proposed by Xiao Kun.
You can adapt to the situation as you encounter it, but you must never hurt Yin Shu.
Ji Yunshu originally felt somewhat grateful to Yin Shu, and he dared not ignore his life safety.
Qing Yu breathed a sigh of relief and said decisively, "Once, when that man came, he reeked of sulfur. I couldn't help but ask a few more questions, and he vaguely said he was setting up defenses for an island full of traps and gunpowder. If anyone broke in, they would surely die. I thought about it afterwards, and a group of pirates wouldn't need such defenses. So it must be Prince Yong."
Ji Yunshu felt that Zhao Shen was really a jinx.
I just said that Prince Yong had a trump card and that he might have someone under his command who could make gunpowder. Now it has all come true.
An island full of traps and buried gunpowder, it would be a dead end for them to go there.
Fortunately, King Yong himself probably doesn't want to die unless it is absolutely necessary.
So those explosives are more like deterrence, just like atomic bombs, having them does not mean they will be used.
"I see. Thank you for letting me know."
Qingyu couldn't help but ask: "Can you rescue my brother?"
Ji Yunshu said, "I will do my best."
Even if it wasn't for Qingyu, Ji Yunshu would still save Yin Shu just because he had accompanied her through southern Xinjiang.
Not to mention that this was Xiao Kun's only requirement for cooperating with them.
Qingyu finally breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, thank you ma'am."
After she said goodbye and left, Ji Yunshu went behind the screen.
"Do you believe what she said?"
Just as they were about to go to the island to approach King Yong, Qingyu delivered this message.
The news came at such a timely moment that she felt a little uneasy.
Zhao Shen pondered and said, "It should be believable. If Prince Yong could be dealt with so easily, he wouldn't be alive now."
Ji Yunshu asked distressedly, "What should we do then? We will die if we go to the island, and we may not survive if we don't. If Prince Yong doesn't die this time, we will be the ones to die."
Zhao Shen gently pinched her fingertips with one hand and said with a smile: "What should I do? This time I might end up getting you killed along with me. Are you afraid?"
Ji Yunshu rolled his eyes at him and said, "Let's talk about serious matters."
Zhao Shen's expression turned serious. "It's not surprising. If Prince Yong hadn't arranged it this way, we would have been more cautious. Let's proceed according to the plan we just agreed on."
It seems that no matter what kind of news he hears, he can still remain calm.
Ji Yunshu was a little impressed and couldn't help but want to tease him: "I stay with Xiao Kun day and night, are you really at ease?"
Zhao Shen said: "I believe Xiao Kun."
He has been paying attention to Xiao Kun for a long time.
His character is much better than that of King Yong, and he would never do anything to steal someone's love.
Ji Yunshu snorted in dissatisfaction: "Why don't you trust me? Do I look like the kind of person who would cheat on her husband?"
Zhao Shen reached out and tapped her forehead: "I know you are not, so there is no need to emphasize it."
Ji Yunshu then said, "Xiao Kun didn't tell us that the island was so dangerous. I'm fine, but you and Qi San must be careful."
Zhao Shen said: "I know."
The two returned to the courtyard where they were temporarily staying, and Ji Yunshu packed his things.
On the surface, they are going back to Beijing.
That night, Ji Yunshu was kidnapped while he was sleeping.
Zhao Shen was looking for people everywhere and had no time for other things.
When the news spread, everyone was amazed at the audacity of the pirates.
Ji Yunshu leaned on the railing and looked at the calm sea.
Xiao Kun stood quietly beside her: "The island is full of dangers, are you really ready?"
Ji Yunshu turned his head to look at him and saw some disapproval on his face.
"It's only a matter of time. There's no need to prepare. You should be wishing us a successful start."
Xiao Kun smiled bitterly: "I would like to say so, but the situation is really a bit bad."
Ji Yunshu asked curiously, "Didn't you anticipate Prince Yong's tactics a long time ago?"
Xiao Kun: "I expected it, but he has always been a timid person who is afraid of death. Who could have guessed that he would be so open this time?"
It was because King Yong wanted too much that he became what he is now.
Ji Yunshu patted his shoulder: "It's really no big deal. Maybe if I die, the person you like will come back."
Xiao Kun knocked her on the forehead: "Don't talk nonsense. Although I hope she comes back, I definitely don't want you to die. Zhao Shen will tear me apart alive."
Ji Yunshu: "That's not so exaggerated. I didn't know you were actually afraid of him."
Xiao Kun said: "I am a man, I know him better than you. If something happens to you on this trip, he will not forgive himself."
His voice sounded a little lonely.
Ji Yunshu couldn't help but think of the original owner. Xiao Kun must be talking about himself.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. We've been drifting on the sea for several days. When will this end? Don't you know the way?"
Xiao Kun explained: "Knowing the way doesn't mean we have to find it ourselves. It's better to keep it as a trump card. Don't worry, he will send someone to pick us up."
He said this so naturally that Ji Yunshu overlooked something for a moment.
Soon, she understood.
After drifting on the sea for a few days, they suddenly felt dizzy and fainted without any warning.
