Chapter 254: Lure the Tiger Away from the Mountain
She probably understood what these people wanted to do and knew they would not kill her.
Even from yesterday until now, he had been quite respectful to her and didn't seem to want to offend her, so she had the confidence to test her.
As expected, Qiyun's anger disappeared in a flash, and she asked coldly, "Then what do you want to eat?"
Ji Yunshu thought for a moment and said, "It tastes bland. I want to eat the crystal pork elbow from Cuihualou."
Qiyun looked at her suspiciously: "You want to eat this so early in the morning?"
Ji Yunshu said confidently, "What's wrong with me liking pork elbows? You only gave me a bowl of porridge yesterday. I'm hungry and want to eat meat."
Qiyun looked at her for a long moment and shook her head, saying, "If you want to eat it, I can have someone make it for you. But forget about Cuihualou's food. I know you're very familiar with the people there."
Before they took action, they had investigated Ji Yunshu and sent people to monitor her for some time, so they knew who were the people she was familiar with.
Ji Yunshu said, "You can cook it however you like, but I want the taste of Cuihualou, otherwise I won't eat it."
Qiyun finally understood her intention and was about to say something when someone knocked on the door.
She immediately turned around and walked out.
After a while, Qiyun came in again, like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and asked Ji Yunshu, "Do you know what your husband did?"
Ji Yunshu slumped weakly, and said nonchalantly, "Looking at you like this, I know it's not a good thing for you."
Qiyun said angrily, "He falsely accused us of poisoning him, and used this as an excuse to hunt down the Miao people."
Ji Yunshu was also surprised that Zhao Shen would do such a thing, but what surprised her even more was that this woman said they were being slandered.
"He was indeed poisoned, it's not a slander."
She said calmly.
"What nonsense are you talking about? How could we possibly poison him?"
Qiyun retorted subconsciously, but looking at Ji Yunshu's expression, she suddenly realized that Ji Yunshu might not be lying.
Just thinking about the situation outside, she no longer had time to ask for clarification. She stepped forward, knocked Ji Yunshu unconscious with a palm, and took her into the secret passage.
So when Zhao Shen arrived, he was just a step late.
However, Zhao Shen had the house turned upside down and finally found the secret passage they used to escape.
However, the secret passage was very long and it took more than half an hour to reach the exit.
The exit of the secret passage is in the suburbs of Beijing.
In other words, the person has left the capital.
Zhao Shen only found a letter left by the other party, asking him to take the ring to Jiuli to exchange for Ji Yunshu.
When Ji Yunshu woke up, she found herself in a moving carriage. She asked Qiyun beside her, "Where are you taking me?"
Qiyun's expression was not very good, but she still said: "The capital is Zhao Shen's territory. Our actions are restricted everywhere, so we naturally have to return to southern Xinjiang."
Ji Yunshu almost wanted to curse. This was obviously a strategy to lure the tiger away from the mountain. Someone was using the Miao people to transfer Zhao Shen away from the capital.
"You don't really think you can lure Zhao Shen away from the capital like this?"
Qiyun said, "We were unsure at first, but now it seems that he values you as his wife very much. If possible, we don't want to hurt you."
Ji Yunshu was helpless. She could tell that what Qiyun said was true, and she really hadn't done anything to hurt herself.
"I don't recommend this. You may not know that he was indeed poisoned and didn't frame you. Furthermore, as far as I know, the Emperor was also poisoned. If he really were to go to Southern Xinjiang, he would definitely bring the Great Xia army with him. Can you afford the consequences?"
Qiyun's face turned pale instantly: "Impossible, how could we possibly put a curse on the emperor of Daxia?"
The poison is so iconic that once someone recognizes it, the Miao people cannot escape responsibility.
They are now divided into pieces and have no strength to compete with Daxia.
Poisoning the emperor of Daxia would undoubtedly be courting his own destruction.
"There's no need for me to lie to you about this. If you don't believe me, you can ask someone to find out. The capital is a hundred thousand miles away from Jiuli. If something happens to me along the way, not only will you lose your leverage, but you'll also give Daxia another reason to deal with the Miao people."
Seeing Qiyun still hesitant, Ji Yunshu continued, "I don't know who gave you this idea, but this will do the Miao people no good."
Qiyun felt very nervous after hearing what she said. She knew that the Daxia people were cunning, but she also knew that if what Ji Yunshu said was true, her actions today would push all the Miao people into an irretrievable situation.
She stopped the carriage and planned to stay here for a few days and send someone to the capital to inquire about the news.
Who knew that in the capital, just as Ji Yunshu had said, news spread that the emperor had been poisoned by the Miao people.
"The officials in the imperial court are very angry. Some have even proposed sending troops to southern Xinjiang to annihilate the Miao people."
Qiyun couldn't help but ask hopefully, "What about over there? Any letters?"
The men shook their heads.
Ji Yunshu was warming himself by a fire. Seeing Qiyun return dejectedly, he asked, "Was I right? Who is behind you? They're clearly using you, and you can't even see it?"
This girl looks fierce, but she is actually a simple-minded person.
It was really easy to get words out of her.
It's no wonder that such people are taken advantage of.
Qiyun sat by the fire, hugging her legs, and poked the fire boredly: "He saved me, I won't betray him."
The firelight illuminated her profile, with clear contours and a look of sadness that made people feel uncomfortable.
Ji Yunshu continued to ask, "Is his life-saving grace worth sacrificing the lives of all your clansmen? Are you of extraordinary status?"
Why would a simple-minded little girl be sent out to do something?
The biggest possibility is that there are some things that only she can do.
Qiyun remained silent, so Ji Yunshu continued, "Although you kidnapped me, you didn't harm me. Ultimately, we don't have any grudges against each other. If you let me go, I can convince my husband not to pursue the matter."
Qiyun looked at her for a moment and still shook her head: "Compared to you, I still trust him more."
Ji Yunshu didn't think that he could convince her with just a few words. It was enough to make her stop and stay here.
She could see that Qiyun was also confused and didn't know what to do next.
She flipped the sweet potato over the fire and said softly, as if chatting casually, "Your trust isn't just because he's your savior, right?"
Qiyun looked at her in a daze, then stood up and hid away as if running away.
Seeing her like this, Ji Yunshu knew that his guess was correct.
Only love can make a woman so blind.
She remembered what Cen Xi said about Lin Huixue meeting a girl.
Someone as careful and meticulous as Lin Huixue would not reveal his true identity easily.
Unless the person is out of his control.
A little girl who made him want to see her from time to time.
She had decided to go to Cuihua Building on a whim, and Lin Huixue had the means to find out her whereabouts and arrange such a kidnapping on the spur of the moment.
But what exactly did he want to do by using me to transfer Zhao Shen away from the capital?
