Chapter 501: Too Quiet
At this moment, she finally felt that she was truly alone in this world.
She paused for a moment before speaking, "Actually, my dream has always been to fight on the battlefield like my father. If I can't, it doesn't matter where I go. Miss, don't worry about me."
Ji Yunshu felt a little helpless. In that era, women were not allowed to enter the military camp, let alone fight on the battlefield.
But looking at Qian Qian's lost look, she felt a little bit reluctant and unwilling at the same time.
If a woman is capable, why can't she go to the battlefield?
Besides, she didn't like staying in the backyard, but Zhao Shen didn't say anything, did he?
Even her father and elder brother, apart from being concerned about her safety, never blamed her for breaking the rules.
Ji Yunshu felt that the situation might not be as bad as he thought.
She thought for a moment and said, "When we get to Wuning, I'll ask my father if he can let you stay in the army."
Qian Qian was just talking casually, and she didn't expect Ji Yunshu to really consider letting her stay in the army.
She said in shock: "Miss, don't you think my ideas are unorthodox?"
Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "What kind of sutra are you talking about? Whose way are you judging? Do you think I'm someone who abides by the rules and regulations for women?"
If she had followed the rules, she would have married Zhao Heng obediently and waited for her entire family to be killed.
Why would he run around everywhere?
If those noble ladies in the capital who never leave their houses knew what she had done, they would probably want to drown her with their saliva.
Qian Qian said, "When I first met you, Miss, I knew you were different."
Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "Taking a different path from others is bound to be difficult."
Qian Qian nodded: "I know, but if I were to be like other women, marrying, having children, and being trapped in the backyard for the rest of my life, that would be worse than death for me."
Ji Yunshu knew that although she was young, she had her own ideas, so he stopped trying to persuade her: "I will try my best to convince my father to keep you in the military camp."
"Thank you very much, Miss."
After thanking her, Qian Qian looked at Ji Yunshu curiously and asked, "I can see that Miss doesn't like living in the backyard either. Why don't you stay in Youzhou?"
Ji Yunshu pinched her nose and said, "You clever little devil! I just agreed to help you convince my dad, and you're already targeting me?"
Seeing that she wasn't angry, Qian Qian pressed on, "Why? The general and the junior general are both here. Don't you miss them in the capital? Are you reluctant to leave Prince Zhao?"
Ji Yunshu said unhappily, "Just think of it as me being reluctant to give up the luxurious life in the capital."
The reason why Daddy didn't bring her here was not only because he didn't want her to suffer, but more importantly, he wanted to reassure the Emperor.
There are only three of them left in the direct line of the Ji family. It is impossible for them all to leave the capital.
Qian Qian also thought of this, and time passed quickly as the two of them chatted.
By evening, they arrived at the next city.
Because of the war, the gates of each city were strictly checked to prevent spies from entering.
However, Zhao Shen directly showed the gold medal, so he entered the city directly.
They booked the best inn in the city with great fanfare.
It was rare for Ji Yunshu to see him so high-profile. After dinner, he returned to his room and asked him, "Is someone going to attack us?"
She didn't think that was the case, and there was no need for Zhao Shen to reveal his identity directly.
After all, if he entered the city with another identity, even if he died here, the city officials could still deny knowledge of the incident.
But knowing his identity, it was the accusation of those people to protect him.
Zhao Shen smiled and said, "Isn't this good? We don't have to worry about food, clothing, and other expenses along the way."
He has already revealed his identity, and no matter where he goes, there are people who have arranged everything to welcome him.
Ji Yunshu sneered: "You talk as if you've worried about this before."
Everything along the way will naturally be arranged by the people around them, so there is no need for them to worry about it.
Zhao Shen said, "That's different. Without revealing our identities, we can't get the innkeeper to agree to book the entire inn."
Ji Yunshu rolled his eyes at him. "So? Just tell me whether we can reach Wuning safely or not."
Zhao Shen stroked her freshly washed hair and helped her dry it bit by bit: "Of course. Don't you trust me?"
Ji Yunshu had been sitting in a carriage for a whole day and felt like she was about to fall apart. Her head was dizzy, and she lay lazily on the soft couch, letting Zhao Shen wipe her hair.
The mind, like the body, is on strike.
"Of course I trust you, but I always feel that you are too calm."
Bilige said he wanted to make a deal with them, but Ji Yunshu felt that if he had the chance to kill both of them at the same time, he would definitely not be polite.
As for Daddy’s revenge, as long as he is the final winner, what is there to fear?
He said he would give them the evidence of Prince Yong's collusion with Mobei, but he didn't give it to them immediately. Doesn't he want to wait and see?
It was already very cold at night, and Zhao Shen patiently placed the brazier not far away and slowly helped her dry her hair.
Hearing her words, he said without comment: "Isn't it good to be calm?"
Ji Yunshu was so sleepy that he felt a little confused. He closed his eyes and said, "I always feel uneasy."
Zhao Shen stroked her slightly furrowed brows with his fingers and said softly, "Don't worry, it'll be fine."
Ji Yunshu hummed randomly and fell asleep.
Seeing that her hair was almost dry, Zhao Shen carried her back to the bed, covered her with the quilt, added a few pieces of charcoal into the charcoal basin, and then put on a cloak and walked out.
Jingzhe had been waiting outside the door for a long time. Seeing him come out, he quietly stepped forward: "Prince..."
Zhao Shen shook his head at him, and the two of them walked a distance before stopping.
Zhao Shen asked calmly, "Are you here?"
Jingzhe nodded: "There are quite a few people here, it would be impossible not to alarm the Madam."
The lady had also experienced bloody storms, and she didn't understand why the prince was protecting her so closely at this time.
Zhao Shen said, "I've lit some calming incense in the room. She should be able to sleep well tonight. Have you arranged everything?"
Jingzhe complained in his heart, Madam is a master of perfumery, how could she not smell the scent of the calming incense.
But he quickly said, "Don't worry, Madam's room is surrounded by secret guards, no one will be able to break in."
Zhao Shen nodded, his eyes falling towards the outside of the inn: "Then let's get started."
He drew his sword and stepped into the yard.
I didn't notice that the window of the house not far away had quietly opened a crack.
The secret guards didn't understand what the two masters meant. One of them lit some calming incense in the house and went to fight alone.
The other one was clearly not asleep, but pretended to be soundly asleep. As soon as the other person left, he got up immediately.
Even though the window was only a crack open, Ji Yunshu could quickly smell the blood coming from the floor.
She didn't know how many people had died outside, she just prayed that Zhao Shen was okay.
In fact, she gradually understood some things from Bilige.
Like Bilige, Zhao Shen could die at any time if the poison in his body was not cured.
