The weather in Bailizhou is very dry, the wind is howling during the day, if you walk outside, you will be covered in sand all over your body when you come back, Ye Zhen can only go out wearing a cloak, otherwise it is really unbearable.
"Madam, we have strengthened the border defense of the city wall, and it doesn't look like the other party has only 30,000 elite soldiers." Shen Luoyang said with a sullen face.
Then Zhao Rao must have known that his wife was personally recruiting, so he sent more people.
"We plus the soldiers from Bailizhou, how many people are there?" Ye Zhen asked quietly, she was not worried about how many troops Zhao Rao had, she didn't come here to defeat Zhao Rao, if Zhao Rao must kill her, Then she can only act first.
"Less than 20,000." Shen Luoyang said.
Ye Zhen nodded slightly, "Well, that's enough."
Murong Zhan had already gone to the barracks, and with him in the formation, there would naturally be no problem.
"Ma'am, there are people from Qi Kingdom looking for you outside the city gate." A lieutenant ran over and said to Ye Zhen.
"People from Qi State?" Shen Luoyang was surprised, and turned to look at Ye Zhen.
Ye Zhen said, "Have you reported your name?"
"He said his surname was Song, and he also said that you knew him." The deputy general said.
Shen Luoyang said, "Madam, could it be Song Hongao?"
"Let him in." Ye Zhen guessed that Song Hongao was also.
"Ma'am, are you afraid of danger?" Shen Luoyang asked worriedly, who knows if Zhao Rao is playing some tricks.
Ye Zhen smiled faintly, "Song Hongao isn't going to be so mean."
"Then I'll bring him in." Shen Luoyang said.
"Bring him to the General's Mansion." Ye Zhen had a better impression of Song Hongao, she remembered that he had been by Zhao Yong's side before.
Not long after returning to the General's Mansion, Shen Luoyang brought Song Hongao here.
Compared with four years ago, Song Hongao didn't seem to have changed much.
Song Hongao strode in. When he saw the woman standing in front of the hall, his eyes flashed brightly. After so many years, she still looked the same as when he first saw her.
"Mrs. Mo, you are safe here." Song Hongao bowed and looked at Ye Zhen with gentle eyes.
"Yeah, long time no see, General Song." Ye Zhen nodded with a smile, "If you have time to come to Bailizhou, why don't you come and play?"
Song Hongao smiled helplessly when he heard Ye Zhen's obviously teasing words, "You know why I came here."
"I really don't know, why don't you explain it to General Song." Ye Zhen said with a smile.
"Mrs. Mo..." Song Hongao smiled wryly, feeling that Ye Zhen was more tricky than before. How could she not know why he appeared here? How can you not know who the commander-in-chief of the enemy army is.
Ye Zhen looked at him with a smile, "Did General Song come to fight in person?"
"I hope it's best not to go to war. This will not benefit Qi and Yuan, and the people will suffer in the end." Song Hongao said.
"It's such a coincidence that they coincided with each other. However, it seems that you have the final say." Ye Zhen glanced at Song Hongao with a smile, wondering whether he was going to make peace or come to fight her.
Song Hongao looked up at her, "Did you kill Cheng Zheng just to save Zhao Ning?"
"No." Ye Zhen didn't hide it from him, "If he doesn't die, the world will be in chaos sooner or later, and it will hurt my daughter."
"I knew it." Song Hongao smiled wryly. He knew that she was quite a protective person, and there must be a more important reason for killing Cheng Zheng. "Will you kill Zhao Rao?"
Ye Zhen looked directly at him, looking at him brightly, "Maybe it will."
"Zhao Rao's heart is not bad." Song Hongao said in a low voice, "She lost her mind because she lost her love."
"Then you should persuade her to be more rational." Ye Zhen said lightly, she understood Zhao Rao's mood and knew that she was not a bad person, so she didn't kill her at the beginning.
Song Hongao said, "You only have less than 20,000 troops, and you are not our opponent at all. Can you find a compromise?"
"Yes." Ye Zhen looked at him with raised eyebrows, "You take me back and let Zhao Rao kill me."
"That's impossible!" Song Hongao said immediately.
"There is no other way, or let me wake up Zhao Rao." Ye Zhen said lightly.
Song Hongao frowned, and when he was about to speak, a voice came from outside, "Ma'am, the young master was ambushed outside."
Ye Zhen glanced at Song Hongao, then walked out.
"I only entered the city alone." Song Hongao chased him out and explained to Ye Zhen that this matter had nothing to do with him.
"Are you sure Zhao Rao's people are not in Bailizhou?" Ye Zhen asked coldly.
Song Hongao frowned, he couldn't guarantee it.
The place where Mingxi was ambushed was on the street near the General's Mansion. He and Mio'er were going to see the scenery of the desert, and they were surrounded on the street. Looking at the skills of those men in black, each of them was a master, and they shot fiercely. , are obviously killers.
"Your son and daughter?" Song Hongao saw that there were three children surrounded, and thought they were Ye Zhen's children.
"My son, my godson, and my daughter-in-law." Ye Zhen didn't help Ming Xi, but just stood aside and watched, and then explained, "Child bride."
Song Hongao looked at her in surprise, and when he wanted to save her children, he found that the three children didn't need his help at all. Their skills were completely superior to those killers, and now they were just teasing those killers. son of a bitch.
"Your son and the others..." Song Hongao looked at Ye Zhen in shock, even her son was so skilled, now he no longer suspects that she killed Cheng Zheng with her own hands.
"I will never be reconciled if Zhao Rao doesn't take revenge." Ye Zhen frowned, "If she thinks that killing my son will make me miserable, then she is wrong."
Her son was not killed so easily.
Song Hongao looked bitter, "It may not be sent by Zhao Rao."
Ye Zhen glanced at Song Hongao at the idiot, "You are very weak to protect."
"No..." Song Hongao opened his eyes wide, seeing that the killers who lost to Mo Mingxi all committed suicide by biting poison, and did not give them a chance to keep alive.
Huohuang grabbed the one who was about to run away, immediately grabbed that person's chin, and took out the medicine bag from his mouth, "Here's a live one."
Mingxi went to take off his mask, "Who are you?"
"Where did the bastard come from to assassinate me?" Fire Phoenix threw him to the ground and groaned.
"General Song, do you know this person?" Ye Zhen asked with a smile.
Song Hongao shook his head, "I've never seen it before."
"Mother, this must have been sent by the Qi State. It's really despicable and shameless. If you are afraid of losing, you actually use this kind of method. That Song Hongao is so worthless!" Ming Xi scolded.
"..." Song Hongao, who was completely unaware, smiled helplessly.
