Chapter 1999 Borrowing Troops
Ye Zhen was listening to Ming Xi talking when a maid came outside to report, and Shui Yichen asked to see him in the hall.
"Mom, does General Shui want you to live in the palace?" Mingxi asked in a low voice.
"I made it clear to him last time that he shouldn't come here again because of this matter." Ye Zhen frowned. It should be related to Zhao Rao. Sha Jiucheng is right next to the border of Yuan Kingdom. If Qi State is in Sha Shui Yichen must have known that Jiucheng was heavily fortified.
But the news didn't seem to come as quickly as Mo Rongzhan.
"I'm going to see what's going on." Ye Zhen said.
Shui Yichen was indeed not here to persuade Ye Zhen to return to the palace this time. He knew that no matter what he said, Ye Zhen would never change his mind again. He was here to talk about Sha Jiucheng.
"Zhao Rao's 30,000 elite troops are already in Shajiucheng. I will lead the troops to Bailizhou tomorrow." Shui Yichen said in a deep voice, "Since you are unwilling to return to the palace, you will stay in the royal capital during this period."
"You want to lead troops to fight?" Ye Zhen was not surprised. She knew how much Zhao Rao hated her. Even if he devoted all his country's efforts, he would definitely seek revenge on her.
Shui Yichen nodded solemnly, "Yes."
"This is the grudge between me and Zhao Rao." Ye Zhen said, "Originally I planned to go to you to talk about this matter, but you already know it. No matter whether you win or lose, Zhao Rao will not give up. I want to go to Bailizhou in person."
Bailizhou and Qi are separated by a desert. They have lived in peace with each other for many years. The border defense there is not big. If we don't send more troops, I'm afraid it will be difficult to save.
"What did you say?" Shui Yichen thought he heard wrongly, "You want to go to Bailizhou?"
"Yes, I will lend you 10,000 elite soldiers. I will personally resolve the grudge with Zhao Rao." Ye Zhen said.
Shui Yichen laughed angrily, "You want to lead troops to the battlefield, are you sure you are not joking?"
"Yes, it's not the first time anyway." Ye Zhen said with a smile, "And Mo Rongzhan will be with me."
Hearing Mo Rongzhan's name, Shui Yichen felt even more harsh, "He is already blind, how can he still arrange his troops? Lu Yaoyao, do you not want to owe me a favor, or do you really alienate yourself from Yuan Guo?" Gotta be clean.”
Ye Zhen smiled helplessly and said, "That's not what I meant. The person Zhao Rao wants to deal with is me. The person she resents is also me, so I think it's better to deal with it personally. Although Mo Rongzhan's eyes can't see, it doesn't mean that There's nothing he can do."
Her tone was very firm, and she was very unhappy that Shui Yichen said that Murong Zhan was blind. So what if her A Zhan couldn't see? Shui Yichen is not his opponent yet!
"Okay." Shui Yichen sneered, "In that case, I'll listen to you."
"Thank you." Ye Zhen thanked with a smile, "We will set off in two days."
Shui Yichen turned around and wanted to leave. When he walked to the door, he turned back to look at Ye Zhen, "Are you suspicious of me or afraid of me?"
Ye Zhen raised her eyes and looked into his deep and dark eyes, "I believe you, Shui Yichen, people will change. You have to admit that even if I go back, I will no longer be the same person I was four years ago. Concubine, whether in the minds of the ministers or the people, the Concubine is just the statue outside the city gate. They will miss her and believe in me, but they will not want me to return to the palace."
"No..." Shui Yichen wanted to deny.
"You said no because you deliberately ignored the changes in the past four years. Shui Yichen, you must admit that too many things have changed in four years." Ye Zhen said.
Shui Yichen lowered his eyes, "Even so, the Yuan Kingdom will return to your daughter's hands in the future."
"Mingyu will have his own life, I can't arrange it for her." All she can do is to make Mingyu's future smoother. Whether she will merge Jin Kingdom and Yuan Kingdom in the future depends on Mingyu It's up to you.
"I have been waiting for you to come back. I never thought that you would end up like this after you come back." Shui Yichen said lightly, "Zhao Rao has at least 30,000 soldiers and horses in Shajiucheng this time. Are you sure that 10,000 will be there?" Is that enough?”
Ye Zhen smiled and nodded, "That's enough."
Shui Yichen nodded gently, "I will arrange it. Shen Luoyang will follow you."
"Okay." Ye Zhen did not refuse this time.
"I hope we will meet again." Shui Yichen whispered, looked at Ye Zhen deeply, turned around and walked out.
Ye Zhen sighed softly in her heart.
Mo Rongzhan slowly walked out from the other side. Although he couldn't see it, he never seemed to go the wrong way, let alone trip. Ye Zhen tried to block him with something to interview him several times, but in the end he failed. Failed.
"When did you come?" Ye Zhen walked to Mo Rongzhan, but she didn't even notice that he was outside.
Mo Rongzhan's gray eyes looked very gentle, a little warmer than the cold ones that were one red and one black before. He lowered his eyes and looked at Ye Zhen. Even if he couldn't see it, his eyes still made people feel that they were being watched by him. With.
"Why are we leaving in two days?" Mo Rongzhan asked calmly. He felt that the sooner the better.
"After settling Zhao Rao's grudge this time, we will go to sea directly, so I want to have one more day to make arrangements." Ye Zhen said.
Mo Rongzhan stroked her face gently, "Yes."
Mingxi learned that Ye Zhen and the others were leaving for Bailizhou in two days, so that night he and Miao'er sneaked into the mountains under the cover of darkness.
"That's the lake." Huohuang pointed to the large lake surrounded by five mountains, and took Miao'er to the lakeside.
"There's no breath..." Mi'er looked at the calm lake surface, "I'll go into the water and have a look."
Mingxi took her hand and said, "I'll go with you."
"Okay." Mi'er nodded with a smile, "Don't you have my dragon scales on you? You can drip your blood into the dragon scales, then inject spiritual power, and you will be able to relax in the water in a while."
"Really?" Mingxi was surprised. He found the dragon scale in his purse and dripped his blood on it as Miao'er said. The blood was immediately absorbed by the dragon scale, making the already dazzling scales even more dazzling. He injected With spiritual power, the dragon scales became crystal clear in his hands, actually like a piece of fine white jade.
"Put it away, let's go down." Mi'er said.
Huohuang didn't like getting into the water. With Miao'er here, he didn't need to worry about Mingxi. He stood far away and said, "I'll wait for you here."
Miao'er pulled Mingxi and jumped into the lake. The lake was pitch black. Mingxi took out the night pearl and it became bright again.
However, what surprised Mingxi even more was that he was able to breathe freely in the water. He did not use spiritual power, but he could not feel the water pressure at all, just like the feeling on the ground.
Is it because of... the dragon scales?
He glanced at Mi'er and saw that she had no problem entering the water. However, her expression became heavier and heavier, as if she had discovered something.
