"But... can you tell me where you plan to start investigating?"
Ji Yuanxu looked at Wen Ranran in confusion, almost pleading. He was now almost afraid that Wen Ranran would lie to her and find out the cause of Ji Zirou's death. At this moment, he was basically the one who lived in this world.
The only motivation.
Wen Ranran raised her eyebrows and looked at Ji Yuanxu with unclear meaning in her eyes.
"If a woman has no use value at all, then she has her last resort, which is... to be treated as an object and given away!"
Ji Yuanxu was shocked and looked at Wen Ranran.
"you mean?"
Wen Ranran narrowed her eyes slightly, "If I guessed correctly, Xia Lihong had colluded with the so-called Black Tiger Tribe at that time. When he was isolated and helpless, he wanted to borrow troops to ask for help.
The Black Tiger Tribe shows its goodwill! But I have met Ji Zirou. Although she has a gentle personality, she is a strong woman..."
Hearing this, Ji Yuanxu couldn't help but shudder, followed by endless anger.
"You mean, that old bastard... wants to give her to the Black Tiger Tribe after she loses her usefulness?!"
Wen Ranran pursed her lips, not yet 100% sure about her guess.
"But I still don't know whether she was sent out for marriage. Maybe she didn't die at all? After all, we can't even find the body now!"
When Wen Ranran said this, she was a little confused again.
Is Ji Zirou really dead?
It is impossible for a woman to survive for so many years under Xia Lihong's hands by virtue of her unremarkable status without two tricks.
Since she dared to disobey Xia Lihong's order, it meant that she definitely had her own Xiao Jiujiu...
Xia Lihong was isolated and self-willed at that time. Even people like Wang Fengshan were already dissatisfied, and Ji Zirou would probably make it even worse...
Thinking of this, Wen Ranran was a little speechless. She had known that she should ask Wang Fengshan what the situation was.
After all, Wang Fengshan was from the northern Xinjiang army. As a former confidant of Xia Lihong, he should know some news about Ji Zirou.
In this battle in Northern Xinjiang, Feng Cheng and Feiyunqi took the lead, but Wang Fengshan was a little older after all, so he had the strength of the city guard to guard Youzhou.
Wen Ranran sighed, originally planning to go directly around the bay, arrive at Goguryeo, and cross the border to find Xia Lishuang. This would save time and effort.
But now it seems that under so many circumstances, walking this way is obviously not feasible. It would be safer to walk directly around Youzhou and then go north.
"I'm going to Youzhou to ask Wang Fengshan, do you want to go with me?"
Wen Ranran looked at Ji Yuanxu. She and Ji Yuanxu might not be friends yet, but at this moment they had reached a short-term consensus.
Ji Yuanxu nodded firmly.
"I want to see her alive, I want to see her corpse... No matter what, I must find out how she died, and then avenge her!"
…
It was better to do things sooner rather than later. Wen Ranran immediately decided to take Ji Yuanxu and set off.
Before leaving, Ji Yuanxu and Ji Tong talked for a long time, but Meng Shu did not come out to see him off for the first time.
Wen Ranran looked at Ji Tong suspiciously, and her eyes immediately fell on Ji Tong's neck.
Ji Tong is already in his early years, but his tendons are well maintained. But at this moment... there is an inexplicable blood mark on his neck. If you look closely, there are scratches and bite marks.
Wen Ranran twitched the corner of her mouth and glanced at Gu Yixi beside her without any trace.
"The medicine you gave... is really effective..." Wen Ranran whispered.
Gu Yixi blushed immediately after hearing this.
Ji Tong looked at Wen Ranran's eyes, and his face suddenly turned dark red, "Well...it's not convenient for my wife to come to see off guests today...it makes the empress laugh!"
Wen Ranran's eyes twitched. She was still a married woman after all. Could she still not understand what kind of inconvenience Ji Tong meant by this "inconvenience"...
