While Ye Zhen was listening to Ming Xi, a servant girl came to report that Shui Yichen was in the hall.
"Mother, does General Shui want you to live in the palace?" Ming Xi asked in a low voice.
"I made it clear to him last time. He should not come for this matter again." Ye Zhen frowned. It should have something to do with Zhao Rao. Sha Jiucheng was next to the border of Yuan Kingdom. If the Qi Kingdom had heavily guarded Sha Jiucheng, Shui Yichen must have known about it.
However, the news did not seem to come as fast as Mo Rongzhan.
"I'll go and see what's the matter." Ye Zhen said.
Shui Yichen did not come to persuade Ye Zhen to return to the palace this time. He knew that no matter what he said, Ye Zhen would not change her mind. He came to talk about Sha Jiucheng.
"Zhao Rao's 30,000 elite troops are already in Sha Jiucheng. I will take them to the Baili Continent tomorrow." Shui Yichen said in a deep voice, "Since you don't want to return to the palace, stay in the capital for this period of time."
"Are you going to lead troops to fight?" Ye Zhen was not surprised. She knew how much Zhao Rao hated her. Even if she exhausted the power of the country, she would certainly seek revenge.
Shui Yichen nodded heavily, "Yes."
"This is a grievance between me and Zhao Rao." Ye Zhen said, "Originally, I was going to talk to you about this matter, but you already know it. If you go and fight, whether you win or lose, Zhao Rao will not give up. I want to go to the Baili Continent in person.
The Baili Continent and the Qi Kingdom were separated by a desert. For many years, they had lived in harmony. The border there was not large. If more troops were not sent, I am afraid it would be difficult to protect it.
"What did you say?" Shui Yichen thought he had heard wrong. "You want to go to the Baili Continent?"
"Yes, I want to borrow 10,000 elite troops from you. I want to solve my grievances with Zhao Rao personally." 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 irritated. "He is already blind. how can he arrange troops? Lu Yaoyao, do you not want to owe me a favour, or do you really want to distance yourself from Yuan Country? "
Ye Zhen smiled helplessly and said, "I don't mean that. The person Zhao Rao wants to deal with is me, so I think it's better to solve it myself. Although Mo Rongzhan can't see, it doesn't mean he can't do anything."
Her tone was resolute, and she was unhappy that Shui Yichen had said that Mo Rongzhan was blind. So what if her Ah Zhan couldn't see? Shui Yichen was not his opponent!
"Fine." Shui Yichen sneered. "Since that's the case, I'll listen to you."
"Thank you." Ye Zhen thanked him with a smile. "We will set off in two days."
Shui Yichen turned to leave, but when he reached the door, he looked back at Ye Zhen. "Do you doubt me, or are you afraid of me?"
Ye Zhen looked up at his dark eyes. "I believe you, Shui Yichen. People change. You have to admit that even if I go back, I am no longer the Heavenly Concubine I was four years ago. Whether it is in the hearts of the ministers or the people, the Heavenly Concubine is just a statue outside the city gate. They will miss her and worship her, but they will not want me to return to the palace."
"No …" Shui Yichen wanted to deny it.
"You said no because you deliberately ignored the changes in the past four years. Shui Yichen, you have to admit that too many things have changed in four years." Ye Zhen said.
Shui Yichen looked down. "Even so, Yuan Country will return to your daughter's hands in the future."
"Ming Yu will have her own life. I can't arrange it for her." All she could do was make Ming Yu's future smoother. Whether she would merge Jin and Yuan Country in the future would depend on Ming Yu's ability.
"I have been waiting for you to come back. I never thought that you would come back with such a result." Shui Yichen said lightly, "Zhao Rao has at least 30,000 troops in Sha Jiucheng this time. Are you sure 10,000 is enough?"
Ye Zhen smiled and nodded. "It's enough."
Shui Yichen nodded gently. "I will arrange it. Shen Luoyang will follow you."
"Good." This time, Ye Zhen did not refuse again.
"I hope we will meet again." Shui Yichen whispered, took a deep look at Ye Zhen, turned and walked out.
Ye Zhen sighed softly in her heart.
Mo Rongzhan walked out slowly from the other side. Although he couldn't see, he never seemed to go the wrong way, let alone be tripped. Ye Zhen tried several times to test him with something in front of him, but she failed every time.
"When did you come?" Ye Zhen walked to Mo Rongzhan's side. She didn't even notice that he was outside.
Mo Rongzhan's gray eyes looked very gentle, more warm than the previous red and black eyes. He looked down at Ye Zhen. Even if she couldn't see him, his eyes still made people feel that they were being watched by him.
"Why two days later?" Mo Rongzhan asked faintly. He felt that the sooner, the better.
"After solving Zhao Rao's grievances this time, we will go to sea directly, so I want to have one more day to arrange." Ye Zhen said.
Mo Rongzhan stroked her face. "Mmm."
Ming Xi learned that Ye Zhen would set off for the Baili Continent in two days. That night, he sneaked into the mountains with San 'er.
"That's the lake." Fire Phoenix pointed to the big lake surrounded by five mountains and took San 'er to the lake.
"There's no aura …" San 'er looked at the calm lake. "I'll go into the water and have a look."
Ming Xi took her hand. "I'll go with you."
"Good." San 'er smiled and nodded. "Don't you have my dragon scale on you? You can drip your blood on it and then inject your spiritual power into it. After a while, you will be able to relax. "
"Is that so?" Ming Xi was surprised. He took out the dragon scale from his pouch and dripped his blood on it according to San 'er's instructions. The blood was immediately absorbed by the dragon scale. The already dazzling scale became even more dazzling. He injected his spiritual power into it and the dragon scale became crystal clear in his hand, like a piece of fine white jade.
"Put it down, let's go down." San 'er said.
Fire Phoenix didn't like to go into the water. With San 'er here, he didn't need to worry about Ming Xi. He stood far away. "I'll wait for you here."
San 'er pulled Ming Xi into the lake. The lake was dark, and Ming Xi took out the night-luminescent pearl before it lit up.
However, what surprised Ming Xi even more was that he could breathe freely in the water. He didn't use any spiritual power, but he couldn't feel the water pressure at all. It felt like he was on the ground.
Is it because of the dragon scale?
He glanced at San 'er. She had no problem in the water, but her expression became more and more heavy, as if she had discovered something.
