Chapter 2394 Persuasion

Qi State, the imperial capital city.

Zhao Rao couldn't hide the anger in her eyes. She never imagined that Song Hongao, who should be fighting in Chanzhou, would actually appear in the imperial capital city and in front of her. What about Chanzhou?

"General Song, have you captured Mo Mingxi?" Zhao Rao asked coldly. If this is the case, she can forgive Song Hongao.

"Your Majesty, I would like to ask you to take back your life and not to fight with Ning Guo." Song Hongao knelt down on one knee. He really didn't want to fight with Mo Mingxi, especially knowing that monsters are rampant in the world today.

Zhao Rao said angrily, "I don't allow it! Song Hongao, do you know that you are the general of Qi?"

"It is precisely because I know my identity that I asked the emperor to take back my order. Now that the people of the world are in danger and it is difficult to protect themselves, we should conserve our troops to protect the people of Qi instead of killing each other with mortals." At this time, whether it was with Ning Guo or not, Well, they should not fight with Jin Guo, but join forces to resist the monster.

"I didn't even know that General Song was so worried about the country and the people!" Zhao Rao said mockingly, "Have you seen the people in the world being killed by monsters? Or is the world already ruled by monsters?"

Song Hongao said, "Has the Emperor ever walked out of the Imperial City to have a look? Have you seen how the people outside are living in fear now? Are the lives of the people of Qi not as good as your desire for revenge?"

Zhao Rao was furious, "You are so presumptuous!"

"I don't dare!" Song Hongao said, "I have seen too many monsters along the way, and I know what kind of life the people are living now. I only hope that the emperor can understand that now is not the time for mortals to kill each other."

If he didn't have the jade pendant given to him by the black mastiff, he might have been killed by the monster.

"Where are the monsters? They are just a bunch of beasts." Zhao Rao said. She had forgotten the helplessness and panic she felt when her son was taken away.

"If you are not afraid of monsters, why haven't you dared to let His Highness out of the house so far?" Song Hongao asked, "Do you think you can protect His Highness in this way? The underground palace of Qi State has been opened, and the blood demon inside has awakened. Qi State The purple energy can no longer protect the Imperial City, and the monsters outside will come in sooner or later. If your Majesty does not have the troops, how will you protect His Highness?"

Zhao Rao narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Song Hongao, "What do you mean by the underground palace?"

She remembered the last time Lu Yaoyao appeared in the palace for no apparent reason. Did they just come in to find the underground palace?

"There are blood demons sealed in every palace. The ancient blood demons were the confidants of the great demonic beast. When they woke up, they thought that the great demonic beast was about to appear..." Song Hongao told Zhao Rao what he knew, but he didn't know. Zhao Rao would not believe it, but he had no other choice.

After hearing this, Zhao Rao shook his head and said angrily, "That's nonsense! Did Mo Mingxi tell you these words? He just wanted to prevent you from attacking them..."

"No!" Song Hongao said, "The one who told me this was a monster."

"Monster?" Zhao Rao asked slowly, "A monster would actually tell you this."

Song Hongao sighed softly, "Your Majesty, I have said so much, can't you even listen to it?"

"What do you want me to hear?" Zhao Rao asked coldly, "Either you bring Mo Mingxi's head, or you capture Mo Mingyu. I don't want to hear anything else!"

"No wonder Qi's national destiny has come to an end..." Song Hongao closed his eyes and sighed, "The safety of the people of Qi is not as good as the emperor's single-minded revenge. Is revenge really that important to you?"

Zhao Rao's eyes were full of anger, "I just want you to attack Ning State, so you think that our national destiny of Qi State has come to an end. Song Hong'ao, are you not even as good as a child?"

"Yes!" Song Hongao admitted simply, "You have never met Mo Mingxi. If a war really starts, our Qi country may not win."

"Song Hongao!" Zhao Rao called his name through gritted teeth, "Are you afraid of losing, so you don't dare to fight with Mo Mingxi?"

"I'm afraid that if a war breaks out and there are countless casualties, no one will be able to protect the people of Qi." Song Hongao said in a low voice, "If the emperor insists on having his own way, please forgive me for being unable to do anything."

Zhao Rao's hatred for Ye Zhen has already been deeply rooted in her bones, and she has been looking forward to Song Hongao being able to catch Mo Mingxi. Now that she heard him say that there was nothing she could do, she felt an evil fire in her heart that could not be vented, and the scene of Cheng Zheng's murder clearly emerged. In her mind.

She wanted to crush Lu Yaoyao's bones into ashes, and wanted to kill her children one by one with her own hands, but Song Hongao actually refused to listen to her will.

"Aren't you afraid that I will punish you?" Zhao Rao asked.

"I would rather accept the crime!" Song Hongao said.

Zhao Rao showed a cruel smile, "Do you think I am just punishing you for your crimes? Song Hongao, I want to punish your nine tribes!"

Song Hongao looked at Zhao Rao suddenly and couldn't believe that she actually said such words. There was also her biological sister among his nine clans.

He had never realized before that Zhao Rao was so desperate for revenge.

"The emperor can do whatever he wants." Song Hongao suddenly felt that he had nothing to say. If there were no monsters, even if he knew that he could not defeat Mo Mingxi, he would still fight hard. That is because he is loyal to the emperor of Qi, regardless of her Is the decision right or not?

But that's not the case now. The most important thing to do now is not to kill each other, but to join forces to protect mortals. Why doesn't Zhao Rao understand?

Revenge should not take precedence over protecting the safety of the people.

"Song Hongao!" Zhao Rao shouted, "I order you to lead troops into battle, but you must not resist!"

"My mission is to protect the people of Qi and defend our country." Song Hongao said without looking back.

Zhao Rao was so angry that his face turned blue and white. No matter how she called Song Hongao, he never looked back.

"Go! Go and call Zhao Xiang into the palace!" Zhao Rao shouted.

Song Hong'ao left the palace disheartened. He originally thought he could persuade Zhao Rao to give up the war with Ning Guo, but he underestimated Zhao Rao's determination to take revenge.

Her heart had long been occupied by hatred, and she did not consider the safety of the people of Qi at all.

If the late emperor is still alive in heaven, I am afraid he will be extremely disappointed.

The eldest princess he valued so much at the beginning actually turned into such an irrational person because of Cheng Zheng's hatred.

"Uncle!" Zhao Xiang met Song Hongao outside the palace gate and looked at his gloomy face in surprise, "Why are you here?"

"The emperor is bent on revenge, and I can't persuade her." Song Hongao said, "It would be best if she could change her mind. If not... that's probably what happened to Qi."

Zhao Xiang frowned, "What do you mean?"

"Your Majesty doesn't know how rampant the monsters are outside, don't you know?" Song Hongao asked in a deep voice, "Second Princess, now is not the time to waste our troops."

"I'm going to find the emperor!" Zhao Xiang said.

She indeed came to the palace because she had something to report.
