Song Hongao put down the handwriting, and frowned. Sure enough, as he guessed, Zhao Rao would definitely let him attack Ningguo. She wished she could kill Mo Mingyu in front of Lu Yaoyao.
"General." Two of Song Hongao's lieutenants walked in and looked at him suspiciously.
"The emperor gave an order to attack Ningguo." Song Hongao glanced at them, "What do you think?"
One of the chubby Vice-General Wang said, "General, since the Emperor already has an order, why are we hesitating?"
"If we attack Ning State, we will attack Jin State. Ye Chunnan will definitely lead troops to counterattack us." Another deputy general Hu said, we can't just start the war on impulse, we have to consider the consequences. Their Qi State is no better than the late emperor. At that time, there was no longer the strength to sweep the world.
"So what? If you don't fight, you will be disrespecting the order." Deputy General Wang said.
Song Hongao said in a deep voice, "Murong Ke will definitely not sit idly by when attacking Ningguo."
"In the past, Mo Mingyu was the princess of Jin Kingdom, and Murong Ke naturally protected her. Now she is the concubine of Ning Kingdom, and she is not Murong Ke's biological daughter. Will Murong Ke go to war with Qi Kingdom because of her?" Vice-General Wang asked.
Will Murong Ke go to war for Mo Mingyu? This question is simply ridiculous.
Song Hongao didn't even want to answer. No one else knew that Murong Ke was able to raise a queen for whom he had never accepted a concubine. Song Hongao knew best.
"I will not accept the order of the king outside." Song Hongao said in a low voice, "Let the spies go to the capital city of Ningguo to check the news before making a decision."
Deputy General Hu agreed, and he took a cautious look at the black mastiff, "Now the world is no longer what it used to be. If we don't need to take action, then Ningguo won't be able to last for a few days."
The monsters that appeared out of nowhere could easily kill hundreds of people. If they had monsters to help them out, let alone Ning Guo, even if Jin Guo and Ning Guo joined forces, they would not be their opponents.
Song Hongao frowned and glanced at him, "Do you think fighting is child's play?"
"General, my subordinates didn't say anything." Deputy General Hu said with a smile.
"You go down first, I'll think about it later." Song Hongao said flatly.
"Yes, general, then let's go down first." The two lieutenants didn't want to linger in the tent any longer. The monster's breath could be heard clearly. Although they couldn't see its face, hearing the breath was scary.
After they left, the black mastiff whispered, "If you need, I can help you."
"You have to take care of yourself now, don't think too much." Song Hongao said.
"Although my monster power is sucked away by the child in my stomach, as long as I give orders, the nearby monsters will still help you." Hei Mastiff said, she is also the king of the jungle, not to mention the child in her belly is still a mastiff Beastmaster, it is easy for Song Hongao to summon a few monsters whose cultivation level is not as good as hers.
Song Hongao said, "Let me think about it again."
He really... doesn't want to be an enemy of Lu Yaoyao.
However, Zhao Rao's order, he couldn't resist for long.
…
…
Ye Zhen and the others hadn't left the capital of the Western Regions yet, she met Wan Yanxi.
At the beginning, she saved Wan Yanxi's life, and was captured by Qi Ruoshui to the Western Regions. She almost died after a narrow escape. If it wasn't for Murong Ke, she might not be able to stand here now. Thinking of the past, Ye Zhen really has a good impression of the Western Regions. No.
"Empress!" Wan Yanxi looked at Ye Zhen excitedly, he thought that he would never see her again in his life, but he never expected to see her again in the capital.
"It's you?" Ye Zhen was stunned for a while before she recognized Wan Yanxi. The handsome young man at the time has gained a lot of weight. If you don't look carefully, you really can't recognize him.
Wan Yanxi's eyebrows and eyes were full of excitement, "Why are you here? I heard about you, and it's great to see that you are doing well now."
Ye Zhen smiled, "I'm no longer the empress, don't call me that."
"Ah!" Wan Yanxi remembered that the emperor of Jin Kingdom was no longer Mo Rongzhan, and the woman in front of him was no longer the empress he knew before, "Why are you here?"
"There's something wrong." Ye Zhen said with a smile, "Your majesty is not in the palace, why are you outside?"
The smile on Wan Yanxi's face froze slightly, "I'm going to the Priest Hall."
Ye Zhen frowned at the mention of the priest's hall, she remembered that the priest's hall was burned down by Mo Rongzhan.
"Have you rebuilt the priest's hall?" Ye Zhen asked.
"No, no." Wan Yanxi knew that Ye Zhen had been imprisoned in the Priest Hall by Qi Ruoshui, and he was very resentful towards the Priest Hall, "There seems to be something strange over there."
Ye Zhen raised her eyebrows, "What's the difference?"
"After it was burned, no one approached it. It was almost deserted. Recently, there seemed to be some movement. I'm afraid... Qi Ruoshui came back, so I wanted to take a look." Wan Yanxi said.
What kind of movement needs to be seen by the emperor himself, and he has to dress like a commoner.
"Really? I just want to visit the Priest Hall." Ye Zhen said, "Let's go together."
"What are we going to the priest's hall for?" Huo Huang, who was following Ye Zhen, frowned and asked, "Aren't we going to go shopping on the street?"
Ye Zhen said with a smile, "I was tortured in the priest's hall before, since I'm here, I'm going to take a look."
"Who tortured you?" Wo Sheng didn't know when he came, just in time to hear Ye Zhen's last words.
"That was a long time ago." Ye Zhen said.
Fanfan pointed to the location to the west, "Xiaoyao, we're going to have a look over there."
She was pointing in the direction of the priest's hall.
"It's such a coincidence that we want to go too." Ye Zhen said, "That's where the priest's hall used to be."
"It smells like bloodworms." Wo Sheng whispered.
Ye Zhen froze for a moment, blood worm
Wan Yanxi was standing next to her, and she couldn't understand what Ye Zhen and the others said, what kind of blood worm? Is it a Gu worm
"Go back to the palace, don't go to the priest's hall." Ye Zhen said to Wan Yanxi, "Let's go and see what's going on."
"Queen... Sister Lu, is Qi Ruoshui back?" Wan Yanxi asked nervously.
Ye Zhen shook her head and said, "No, it's impossible for Qi Ruoshui to come back, even if she does, she's no longer the high priest she used to be."
Wan Yanxi smiled wryly, "There are still many people in the Western Regions who think that the former high priest can change their fate."
"Go back to the palace quickly, don't worry." Ye Zhen said lightly.
After Wan Yanxi was sent back to the palace, Ye Zhen and Wo Sheng came to the place where the priest's hall used to be. She is not a blood demon, so she can't feel the breath of blood worms, but the breath here is slightly different.
The hall of priests is completely deserted, and the traces of being burned by the fire are still there. It has long lost the sacred and majestic momentum of the past.
"There used to be a lot of Gu worms raised here." Ye Zhen said softly, "You said the breath of blood worms is here?"
"That's it." Fanfan said, walking ahead leisurely with a golden ax in his hand, "It seems that someone has just cultivated into a blood demon."
Ye Zhen was slightly stunned, "Can a mortal be able to cultivate into a blood demon so easily?"
Wo Sheng said in a low voice, "It's not that easy, it's more painful than a thousand arrows piercing the heart, flesh and bones."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Zhen noticed a figure appearing in the ruins of the priest's hall, which looked familiar from a distance.
