Chapter 288: All Lost
The sudden change made his expression turn cold. He stared at Ji Yunshu with a sinister look and said, "It seems that I was too kind to you, which made you feel that you could resist me."
Ji Yunshu met his stern face and felt that the man in front of him had a hideous look.
She said with a smile: "Do you think I will wait patiently for you to turn me into a puppet? Lord Patriarch, you don't think I dare to come here alone, do you?"
When Zhebie heard her words, his expression changed. In fact, he had also doubted how Ji Yunshu, a woman, could dare to run to southern Xinjiang with two maids?
But Qiyun followed Ji Yunshu all the way, and Lin Huixue also secretly sent people to monitor him. They were all sure that Ji Yunshu had not contacted anyone along the way, so he believed it.
Moreover, he had long controlled the village tightly, so it was impossible for someone to come in without him noticing.
His doubts lasted only a moment, and he quickly regained his composure: "There's no point in bluffing. I have plenty of time to deal with you."
He returned to the box, took out a bottle, and opened it. Ji Yunshu immediately smelled a strong scent.
It's so disgusting that I can't describe it.
But Zhebie seemed not to smell anything at all. He just focused on the ground. Soon the fallen poisonous insect jumped in front of him.
Ji Yunshu understood that this incense was used to control poisonous insects.
Just as she was thinking this, she saw Zhebie take out another bottle and said with a smile, "I originally wanted you to watch the poison enter your body while you were awake, but you were too naughty. Forget it, maybe this way will be more effective."
Ji Yunshu, realizing what Zhebie was about to do, immediately called out, "Ji Qian."
As soon as Zhebie heard this sound, a sword was already across his neck.
Ji Yunshu slowly untied the chains that bound his hands and feet before standing up and saying, "I'm someone who values my life so much, how could the clan leader think that I would come here with just two maids?"
Zhebie hadn't expected that there was someone hiding here. He asked Ji Qian in confusion, "How did you get in?"
Ji Qian held the sword motionlessly and did not speak.
The secret guards have been trained since childhood, and their uses are not just limited to killing people.
As long as he wants, he can sneak into any place he wants to go quietly.
Although the defense of this Miao village was considered sophisticated, it was still not too difficult for them to enter the palace without alerting anyone.
Ji Yunshu had no intention of clearing up Zhebie's confusion, and simply said, "Instead of asking this, why don't you think carefully about what to do next?"
Zhebie said, "Lin Huixue said not to underestimate you, but I was careless. This defeat is not unfair, but now the war has begun, and it will not stop until there is a result. Even if I die, it will not change the situation."
Ji Yunshu said with a smile, "Why don't you think about why I've been here acting with you these days? Who do you think you are to decide the situation in Southern Xinjiang?"
Zhebie's face changed. He moved involuntarily, and the sword pressed against his neck cut his skin.
The pain made him afraid to act rashly. At the same time, he also realized that Ji Yunshu would really kill him: "What did you do?"
Ji Yunshu said, "It's nothing. I'll have someone find you and see where you're still testing those poisons."
"Haven't you found it before?"
"You mentioned that valley? Naturally, I won't let it go, but it's not exactly secret. Since I've already discovered it, I'm sure nothing truly important will be left there. Also, I've always felt that someone like you wouldn't trust Lin Huixue wholeheartedly. After all, you already know that his master might not succeed."
Zhebie said, "I miscalculated. I unexpectedly met a woman like you. You stayed until now just to attract my attention and make it easier for others to do things, right?"
Ji Yunshu was about to say something when footsteps were suddenly heard outside.
Soon Qiyun ran in. When she saw the scene inside, she seemed a little overwhelmed. After a moment of hesitation, she called out, "Dad, what's going on?"
Zhebie didn't say anything. Ji Yunshu raised an eyebrow: "Isn't this obvious?"
Qiyun said angrily, "Ji Yunshu, please let my father go."
Ji Yunshu laughed: "Do you think it's possible?"
Qiyun said, "Lin Huixue was chasing you, but it was my father who saved you. Can't you repay kindness with hatred?"
"Miss Qiyun, could it be that you have a bad memory and have forgotten that it was your father who locked me up here? Don't tell me that even now, you still don't know what he wants to do to me? It's already a mercy on my part that he's still alive."
Qiyun's face turned pale after hearing what she said. She knew that her statement was untenable, but her father's life was in Ji Yunshu's hands, so she couldn't just say nothing.
"Even if you kill my father, you will never leave Southern Xinjiang alive."
Qiyun said angrily.
Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "Anyway, the war has already started, and it doesn't look like it's going to stop anytime soon. I don't want to leave Southern Xinjiang just yet. My people have discovered something very interesting, and I believe all the Miao people will be interested."
Zhebie's expression changed: "What exactly are you going to do?"
Ji Yunshu said, "Those people you used for your experiments to raise Gu are all Miao people from the surrounding area, right? I wonder if they would rather have their loved ones transformed into invincible living dead to help you restore your country, or if they would rather have them live well?"
Qiyun obviously knew all this, and she screamed, "No, you can't do this."
Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "I can. I will also tell them that it was you and your daughter who sent the Saint Girl to the palace of Daxia and asked her to poison the Emperor of Daxia. It was you who actually started the war and caused the tragic deaths of their relatives."
Zhebie didn't expect that he would make a wrong move and lose everything.
"What on earth will you do to let us go?"
Ji Yunshu looked at him and said, "You should have heard that my husband has been poisoned. If you can help him detoxify, I will naturally release you and your daughter."
Qiyun quickly said, "My father can do it. He is the most powerful Gu Master in Miaojiang."
Ji Yunshu nodded to Ji Qian. Ji Qian did not move the hand holding the sword, but took out a small bottle from his arms with the other hand and handed it to Ji Yunshu.
Ji Yunshu poured out two brown pills from it, handed one to Zhebie and the other to Qiyun: "These are two tendon softening pills, take them, and I won't touch you for the time being."
With the sword at his neck, Zhebie knew he had no choice but to take the pill in his hand and swallow it.
Qiyun hesitated for a moment, but seeing that her father had already eaten it, she had no choice but to put the pill into her mouth as well.
Ji Yunshu nodded with satisfaction.
Both of them soon fainted.
Ji Qian looked at the man lying on the ground, retracted his sword and asked, "What kind of medicine is this?"
The medicines he had on him were all given to him by Ji Yunshu before he set out, and he had also specifically instructed him to carry several of them with him at all times.
The bottle just now is one of them.
Ji Yunshu shook his head. "A friend gave it to me. He was just doing it for fun. The effect of this medicine is that it can make people sleep for several days and nights."
These medicines were given to her by Yichen. Although he already had a main focus, he seemed to like researching various medicines. Especially when he found that she needed them, he would have someone send a large box to her every once in a while.
There are all kinds of weird effects among them, but this one is relatively normal.
She took it with her when she thought she might need it when she went out.
Ji Qian didn't dwell on this. Anyway, the father and daughter couldn't be killed now, so it would be better for them to sleep for a few days.
"So what are we going to do next?"
