But thinking of his son, Shangguan Wenji asked hurriedly with a sob: "Master Xi, how is my son Shangguan Heng? Is he still alive?"
As soon as Shangguan Wenji said this, a beautiful woman next to him also showed an anxious look on her face and stared at Hexi closely.
He Xi took a look at the woman and guessed that she should be the Sixth Prince's biological mother, Concubine Zhu.
But looking at the woman's charming and seductive appearance, it is really hard to associate her with Zhu Yijun and Zhu Chongba, father and son.
He Xi nodded and said, "Don't worry, Shangguan Heng is in the Pluto Palace now, nothing serious will happen to him."
Shangguan Wenji was overjoyed, but when he thought of what happened in Broken Soul Mountain, he was filled with guilt and felt that he could not raise his head in front of this young man.
"Master Xi, I'm really sorry about what happened on Broken Soul Mountain. I wronged you at first, but later I knew the truth and knew that Rui'er was killed by Feng Lianying. However, due to the power of the Feng family, I didn't dare to say anything... Our Shangguan family treated you so badly, I didn't expect you to come and save me today."
He Xi interrupted him coldly, "You don't have to apologize to me, because I came to save you under certain conditions. And I have already agreed on these conditions with your son Shangguan Heng."
"What...what conditions?"
He Xi smiled slightly and said in a deep voice: "I want to shock the army."
"This... How can this be possible!" Shangguan Wenji cried out in surprise, but then he immediately reacted, shuddered, and whispered, "Master Xi, I... I am not greedy for the Zhenwei Army, but this Zhenwei Army is the private army of the Ouyang family, and it cannot be mobilized without a military token. Moreover, the Zhenwei Army is the only thing left by the Ouyang family. I... I really hope that Ouyang Haoxuan can come back. This is also the only thing I have left to compensate the Ouyang family..."
Shangguan Wenji's words made Hexi's expression ease a lot.
It seems that the old emperor is not as cold-blooded as he appears. He is really full of guilt towards the Ouyang family.
He Xi pursed her lips, slowly took out a military token from her arms, spread out her slender and smooth palms, and the ochre-red animal-shaped military token lay in her palm that looked like it was carved by Bai Yu.
"Ah!" Shangguan Wenji exclaimed, "This... Isn't this the Zhenwei Army's military token? How did it end up in your hands?"
He Xi put away the military token and said calmly, "Before General Ouyang died, I happened to be beside him and he handed the military token to me. As for Ouyang Haoxuan... he has already rushed to the Zhenwei Army's camp."
"Ouyang Haoxuan is still alive?" Shangguan Wenji was shaking with excitement. "He is really still alive? That's great! That's great!"
Shangguan Wenji felt that his heart, which had been gnawing at guilt day and night, finally seemed to see the light at this moment.
His gaze turned to the Black Protector who was trembling with Nangong Yu, and his own children who were shivering in the palace.
He gritted his teeth and said in a trembling voice, "Okay, I am willing to issue an imperial decree. As long as the person holding the military token takes over the Zhenwei Army and Ouyang Haoxuan is still alive, then from now on the Zhenwei Army will no longer belong to Jinling, nor to my Shangguan family. I only ask Master Xi and His Majesty the Pluto to save the lives of my Shangguan family."
He Xi raised the corner of his mouth and said in a clear voice, "Okay, deal!"
After saying that, she walked to Shangguan Wenji, took his intact hand, and slowly inserted her water spirit power into it. (To be continued)
