After being transformed into cannon fodder, she relied on reading minds to save her life.

Chapter 14 14 Find Xu Jishu

That night, Shen Kun sat in the study all night, without turning the pages of the documents in his hand, until Dadong trotted in with an ugly face and panted,

"General... the mother and daughter of Anhe Lane have been found... they are the outer chamber of Jiangnan Governor Gu Zhizhou..."

"Yes, I know," Shen Kun nodded, not too shocked, "Then does Gu Zhizhou know that they were captured by me?"

Dadong was a little confused. The general seemed to have known for a long time that the mother and son living in Anhe Lane were Gu Zhizhou's aunt, so he went on to say,

"We brought back the silver lock that Gu Zhizhou gave to his daughter, and showed it to him. He immediately responded...said, said..." Dadong bit his lips and found it difficult to speak.
"Say it, I'll listen." Shen Kun's heart tightened. Could it be that just as the snow rabbit said, Gu Zhizhou was not really the prince's person, but...

Dadong mustered up his courage, "Then Gu Zhizhou said...Although he was a close confidant of the Crown Prince, because Prince Fu knew about his keeping a concubine, he...was half-coaxed and half-coerced by Prince Fu to become Prince Fu." A close confidant, so, so..."

As Dadong spoke, he secretly observed Shen Kun's expression. Seeing Shen Kun's expression getting colder and colder, Dadong couldn't continue talking.

A self-deprecating smile appeared on Shen Kun's lips, "So, I was deceived and became a tool for the two brothers to fight for the throne. I checked Gu Zhizhou here and thought it was the prince who ordered it, so I went to help regardless. King Fu ascends to the throne...hehehe...hehe..."

"General...General, you...don't be sad, maybe, maybe it's a misunderstanding..."

Seeing the always arrogant general's expression at this moment, Dadong also felt distressed, but he lacked confidence and his voice became softer and softer.

[You have been deceived more than this... General Shen, you should think about it carefully. 】

Ye Xiaobai, who was lying on the side at the moment, half-closed his rabbit eyes and was drowsy.

"What did you say? Can you say it all at once?" Shen Kun stood up suddenly and came to the snow rabbit, only to see that the snow rabbit had begun to snore.

Dadong didn't know what happened and shook his head quickly, "General, I didn't say anything!"

"Okay, stand down and try to trick Gu Zhizhou. Is there anything else we don't know about?"

"Yes! General." Dadong cupped his fists and was about to leave when he heard a boy running in from outside the study door.

"General, General, it's not good, it's not good!"

The boy's face was sweating profusely, and his cheeks were red from exhaustion in this winter night.

"What's going on? What's the etiquette of shouting in the middle of the night?" Shen Kun glared at him. Even though this was a military commander's residence, he still had to follow the rules.

"Huhu...huhu..." The boy rested his hands on his knees for a while and finally took a breath, and then said,

"General, then Xu Jishu him, he ran away..."

"What?!" Shen Kun suddenly stood up. With a strong force, the tea cup in his hand immediately broke into pieces and fell to the ground.

The boy was trembling with fear,

"I, I just passed by the backyard and saw the commotion in the inner courtyard. I heard that Xu Jishu ran away and Yinxi was caught and beaten to death. Brother Ajin asked me to report a message first."

"Run away?" Shen Kun clenched his fist and slammed it on the desk, his knuckles turned white.

[Hehehe, he ran away?Let's go to King Fu... That old boy can't keep his temper at all. 】

The snow rabbit on the ground woke up at some point, and its blood-red ears dangled in front of Shen Kun. "I understand, you guys go down first!" Shen Kun sat down slowly. Hearing Xue Tu say this, he felt a moment in his heart. What's the point of him joining Shang Zong? How could Shang Zong want him if he didn't even have a certificate of surrender?

[Why not? He stole your city defense map! Ye Xiaobai got up from the ground and wandered around the study room with his four short legs.

"Really?" Shen Kun's eyelids twitched. For him, the military map was as important as his own life, and there was no room for error. Shen Kun thought for a moment and quickly summoned the outsiders.

"Ajin, Dadong, tell me to go ahead and seal all the city gates overnight, search all the people entering and leaving, and report to me immediately if there is anything unusual."

After receiving the order, the two people responded yes and immediately went out to start setting up.

At this time, Ye Xiaobai was almost done strolling around and yawned.
[Ah... don't go to so much trouble. He can't run far now. Let's go look for him at Fenghuang Pavilion on Eighth Street. 】

"Fenghuang Pavilion?" Shen Kun was stunned. Isn't that a brothel? Where did Xu Jishu hide?
[He has a sweetheart, right there...] Halfway through Ye Xiaobai's words, he felt that it was cold and didn't want to move. As he talked, he lay down on the Persian carpet and fell asleep again.

"Hey, hey, you should explain it clearly to me!"

Shen Kun picked up the snow rabbit and shook it vigorously. Unexpectedly, the snow rabbit snored while sleeping, and its chubby face swelled and retracted. Shen Kun felt soft in his heart when he saw it, and he stuffed the snow rabbit into it easily. In his fur cloak, he muttered to himself,
"It's too cold today, please sleep with me."

……

Early the next morning, Shen Kun had just woken up. Dadong, who was waiting outside the door, had already rushed over and was about to report what happened last night. He turned his head and saw a huge snow rabbit sleeping on his general's bed. He was so shocked that he didn't even look back. When he came to his senses, Shen Kun had an old look on his face.

"How's it going?"

Only then did Dadong come back to his senses and quickly replied,

"Ah? Oh...that's it. General, you are really good at predicting things. Last night we went to Fenghuang Pavilion and found Xu Jishu. According to your instructions, let his best friend take our I got the city defense map back, replaced it with a fake one and installed it for him."

"Okay." Shen Kun said calmly, thinking about what they would do next.

The snow rabbit on the bed woke up at this time. Shen Kun only heard it saying quietly in its heart,

[Originally Xu Jishu sent the city defense map, and King Fu forwarded it to the Emperor of Beichen Kingdom Yuwen Ruolong, but now it has been changed...]

"What? How dare he collude with the enemy? How dare he??" Shen Kun only put on a single piece of clothing and jumped up from the bed in an instant.

[General Shen, why don't you send me to Prince Fu's Mansion tomorrow...]

"??" Shen Kun paused and looked back. The snow rabbit was already sitting upright by the bed, looking at him with sharp eyes.

"What do you mean?"

【Let’s go see a good show together! 】

"That's not possible. Why do I have to come back after sending you away?" Shen Kun shook his head. Now that he knew the details of King Fu, there was no way he could send this snow rabbit away.

[No, no, I have to go. I want to see Xu Jishu's shriveled appearance. I also want to see how Prince Fu became so angry...] Ye Xiaobai suddenly rushed to Shen Kun, waving his two front feet, feigning anger. The ground was scratching on Shen Kun's legs.
