Chapter 2348 Stand Still

Song Hong'ao put down the oracle and frowned. As expected, Zhao Rao would definitely let him attack Ning Guo. She wished she could kill Mo Mingyu in front of Lu Yaoyao.

"General." Song Hongao's two lieutenants came in and looked at him doubtfully.

"The emperor ordered to attack Ningguo." Song Hongao glanced at them, "What do you think?"

One of them, Deputy General Wang, who was slightly fat, said, "General, since the Emperor has already issued a decree, why are we still hesitating?"

"If we attack Ning State, we are attacking Jin State. Ye Chunnan will definitely lead troops to counterattack us." Another deputy general Hu said, we can't just go to war based on impulse, we must also consider the consequences. Their Qi State is no better than the late emperor's By that time, he no longer had the strength to conquer the world.

"So what? If you don't fight, you will be disobeying the order." Vice General Wang said.

Song Hong'ao said in a deep voice, "When we attack Ningguo, Murong Ke will definitely not sit idly by and watch."

"In the past, Mo Mingyu was the princess of Jin Kingdom, and Murong Ke naturally protected her. Now that she is the concubine of Ning Kingdom, and she is not Murong Ke's biological daughter, will Murong Ke still go to war with Qi Kingdom for her?" Vice General Wang asked.

Will Murong Ke go to war for Mo Mingyu? This question is absolutely ridiculous.

Song Hong'ao didn't even want to answer. Others didn't know who Murong Ke could have chosen not to have a concubine for, but Song Hong'ao knew best.

"I will not accept your order," Song Hongao said in a low voice, "Let the spies go to Ningguo's capital city to investigate the news and then make a decision."

Vice General Hu responded. He glanced at Black Mastiff cautiously, "The world is no longer what it used to be. If we don't need to take action, Ningguo won't be able to hold on for a few more days."

The monsters that appear out of nowhere can easily kill hundreds of people. If they have monsters to help them, let alone Ning Guo, even if Jin Guo and Ning Guo join forces, they will 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." Vice General Hu said with a smile.

"You guys go down first, I'll think about it later." Song Hongao said calmly.

"Yes, General, let's go down first." The two lieutenants didn't want to stay in the camp any longer. The monster's breathing could be heard clearly. Although they couldn't see its face, they felt terrible just hearing its breathing.

The black mastiff whispered after they left, "I can help you if you need it."

"You have to take care of yourself now and don't think too much." Song Hongao said.

"Although my demon power has been sucked away by the child in my belly, as long as I give my order, the nearby demon beasts will still help you." Black Mastiff said, she is also the king of the jungle after all, not to mention the child in her belly is still a mastiff Beast King, it is easy to help Song Hongao summon several monsters whose cultivation level is not as good as hers.

Song Hongao said, "Let me think about it again."

He really... didn't want to be Lu Yaoyao's enemy.

However, he could not resist Zhao Rao's order for long.

Before Ye Zhen and the others left the capital of the Western Regions, she met Wan Yanxi.

She saved Wan Yanxi's life and was captured by Qi Ruoshui and almost died in the Western Region. If it weren'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 Region. No.

"Empress!" Wan Yanxi looked at Ye Zhen excitedly. He thought they would never see her again in their lifetime, but he didn't expect to see her again in the capital.

"Is it you?" Ye Zhen was stunned for a while before she recognized Wan Yanxi. The handsome young man at the beginning has now gained a lot of weight. If you don't look carefully, you really can't recognize him.

Wanyanxi's eyebrows were filled with excitement, "Why are you here? I heard about you, and it's great to see that you are well now."

Ye Zhen smiled and said, "I am no longer the Queen, there is no need to call me that."

"Ah!" Wan Yanxi then 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 had known before. "Why are you here?"

"Something happened." Ye Zhen said with a smile, "Your emperor is not in the palace, why are you outside here?"

The smile on Wan Yanxi's face froze slightly, "I want to go to the priest's hall."

Ye Zhen frowned when she mentioned 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." Wanyanxi knew that Ye Zhen had been imprisoned in the priest's hall by Qi Ruoshui, and was very resentful towards the priest's hall. "There seems to be something strange over there."

Ye Zhen raised her eyebrows, "What's strange?"

"No one has been there since it was burned. It's almost deserted. There seems to be some movement recently. I'm afraid...Qi Ruoshui is coming back, so I want to take a look." Wan Yanxi said.

What kind of movement requires him, the emperor, to see it in person, and he has to dress like a commoner.

"Really? It just so happens that I also want to see the priest's hall." Ye Zhen said, "Let's go together."

"Why are we going to the priest's hall?" Huohuang, 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 have been imprisoned and tortured in the priest's hall before. Now that I am here, I naturally want to take a look."

"Who tortured you?" Wo Sheng came at some unknown time and happened to hear the words behind Ye Zhen.

"That happened in the past, a long time ago." Ye Zhen said.

Fanfan pointed to the location to the west, "Xiaoyao, we want to go over there and have a look."

She was pointing in the direction of the priest's palace.

"What a coincidence, we also want to go." Ye Zhen said, "That's the former priest's hall."

"It smells of blood worms." Wo Sheng whispered.

Ye Zhen was stunned for a moment, bloodworm?

Wan Yanxi was standing nearby. Hearing what Ye Zhen and the others said, he couldn't understand at all. What are they talking about? Bloodworms? Is it a Gu insect?

"Go back to the palace, don't go to the priest's hall." Ye Zhen said to Wan Yanxi, "Let's just 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 comes back, so what, she is no longer the high priest she used to be."

Wan Yanxi smiled bitterly and said, "There are still many people in the Western Region who think that the former high priest can change their destiny."

"Go back to the palace quickly, don't worry." Ye Zhen said calmly.

After sending Wan Yanxi back to the palace, Ye Zhen and Wo Sheng came to the original priest's hall. She was not a blood demon, so she couldn't feel the breath of the blood worms. She could only feel that the breath here was slightly different.

The priest's hall is completely deserted, and the traces of being burned by the fire are still there. It has long lost the sacred and majestic aura it once had.

"There used to be a lot of Gu worms here." Ye Zhen said quietly, "You said the breath of blood worms is here?"

"That's it." Fanfan said, walking in front with a golden ax leisurely in his hand, "It seems that someone has just become a blood demon."

Ye Zhen was slightly startled, "Can a mortal cultivate into a blood demon so easily?"

Wo Sheng whispered, "It's not that easy. It's more painful than thousands of arrows piercing the heart and picking out the flesh and bones."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Zhen spotted a figure appearing among the ruins of the priest's hall. From a distance, he looked familiar.
