It was Jin Shanshan who had sent someone to find Ming Xi. Last night, she had heard that Ming Yu had met with assassins at the temple fair. When she had sent someone to King Qin's Residence, Ming Xi and the others had not yet returned. It was only later that she found out that Ming Yu had been brought back to the palace. Thus, she knew that Ming Yu was fine. Otherwise, there would not have been no news for the entire night.
However, she had received a letter from Ye Chunnan early this morning, so she immediately sent someone to look for Ming Xi.
The people of the Ye Clan had been out searching for a long time, from Prince Qin's Mansion to the Imperial Palace. With great difficulty, they finally found the Lord of the Dark Guards.
Why was his aunt looking for him so urgently? It seemed like there was something urgent.
Ming Xi arrived at the Ye Clan as fast as he could. Jin Shanshan was already waiting for him in the hall.
"Aunt, you were looking for me?" Ming Xi strode in.
"Mingxi, you're finally here. I've been looking for you for half a day." When Jin Shanshan saw Ming Xi, he immediately said, "Your uncle sent a letter from the Wasteland City. He specifically told me to give this letter to you as soon as possible."
When Ye Chunnan went out to war, he would not often send letters. Even if he did, he would only report that he was safe. This time, one of the letters was for Mingxi. He even urged her to quickly hand it over to his nephew. It seemed to be an urgent matter.
"A letter from my uncle?" Ming Xi stared blankly for a moment. He took the letter from Jin Shanshan's hands and hurriedly opened it to read. Before he could finish reading the contents of the letter, his expression had already changed as he tightly gripped the letter in his hands.
"Mingxi, what happened?" Jin Shanshan asked anxiously. She was worried that Ye Chunnan had encountered some difficulties and had purposely written to Mingxi to not let her worry.
"It's about Little Six." Ming Xi said, "Aunt, I have something to do first."
Jin Shanshan grabbed Ming Xi's hand. "Did something really happen to your uncle in the Wasteland?"
"No, it has nothing to do with Uncle. Aunty, don't worry." Ming Xi said with a smile.
"You're not lying to me?" Jin Shanshan was still very suspicious.
Ming Xi said seriously, "No."
Jin Shanshan released Ming Xi's hand, "I also heard that Little Six was injured, I wonder how his injuries are."
"Little Six's injuries are a little serious, but with Uncle here, he should be fine." Ming Xi didn't even believe his own words. If he hadn't received his uncle's letter, he would have thought that Yan Xiaoliu's injuries were caused by a mortal. But now, he didn't think so.
"I hope Little Six is blessed by the heavens," Jin Shanshan said.
Ming Xi nodded. "Aunt, I'll be leaving first."
"Okay, if there's anything I can help with, just let me know," Jin Shanshan said.
Ming Xi took Ye Chunnan's letter back to King Qin's Residence and found Shang 'er and Fire Phoenix in the backyard. They were about to go out.
"Jin 'er, Huo' er, where are you going?" Ming Xi asked.
"Just now, someone from the palace came to say that Qingyu was looking for you. We were just about to go look for you," Shang'er said.
Ming Xi handed the letter over to Shang'er, "This is a letter from Uncle. Take a look."
"This is …" Shang'er opened the letter and saw the portrait inside. "Necrophagous beast! Did your uncle encounter a Corpse Eater? "
"The Corpse Eater ran into the barracks and didn't hurt my uncle. He had never seen such a thing before and thought it was a beast." Ming Xi said in a deep voice, "I went to see Beitang Yu today. His son's martial arts are mediocre. Logically, it's impossible for him to hurt Yan Xiaoliu. However, you've also seen Uncle's letter. He said that Beitang Xuanyang has been missing for two days, but his martial arts are even better than Qian Danqing's … Yan Xiaoliu wasn't injured on the battlefield. He saw Beitang Xuanyang in the Wasteland City and was injured by him."
Shang'er looked at the letter in her hand in shock. "Ming Xi, you … you suspect that the Corpse Eater has taken over his body?"
"Apart from this possibility, I can't think of any other reason." Ming Xi said in a low voice.
"If the Corpse Eater has really taken over Beitang Xuanyang's body, then the war in the Wasteland won't stop." Fire Phoenix said with a frown. "The Corpse Eater likes to eat corpses. The battlefield is mostly filled with dead soldiers. It's not to its liking."
Ming Xi said in a deep voice, "I'm afraid we have to go to the Wasteland again."
If Beitang Xuanyang really was a Corpse Eater, Uncle wouldn't be his opponent. He had to save Yan Xiaoliu and help Uncle catch the Corpse Eater.
"Then you have to go to the palace to find Ming Yu first. She seems to be very anxious to find you." Shang'er said. In any case, it wouldn't be difficult for them to go to the Wasteland. Moreover, they had to catch the Corpse Eater.
"Alright." Ming Xi nodded. "I'll go to the palace first. You guys prepare."
Ming Xi and Fire Phoenix looked at each other. "Alright."
… …
… …
Not long after Ming Xi left the palace, Murong Ke learned that he had gone to the Hidden Guard to find Beitang Yu.
He had always felt that he couldn't understand this nephew of his who had been missing for several years. That day at Mount Returning Cloud, he knew for the first time that Ming Xi had Fire Aura Qi. After disappearing for so many years, this nephew's martial arts had advanced by leaps and bounds. He might even be above him.
Why did he want to see Beitang Yu? It seemed that he had been brooding over the fact that Beitang Xuanyang was able to injure Yan Xiaoliu.
"Your Majesty, Beitang Yu is making a fuss to see you again." After Du Wei told Murong Ke about Ming Xi going to the Hidden Guard, he also said that Beitang Yu was making a fuss at the Hidden Guard all day.
"Then bring him to see Zhen." Murong Ke said coldly. He thought for a moment and said, "Zhen will go to the Hidden Guard."
Du Wei was stunned for a moment. He was a little surprised as to why Murong Ke would personally go to the Hidden Guard, but he didn't ask much. "Yes, Your Majesty."
Beitang Yu had been angered half to death by Mingxi and was currently filled with rage. When he suddenly heard that Murong Ke wanted to see him, he was still unable to react. Only when he saw a tall and handsome man appear in his line of sight did he believe that he had finally seen Murong Ke.
"Murong Ke, how long do you want to keep Zhen locked up?" Beitang Yu asked through gritted teeth.
"As a captive, you are originally a hostage for negotiations. However, it seems that no one in your Dark North Kingdom is willing to negotiate with Zhen. No one wants you to go back." Murong Ke said lightly.
Beitang Yu shouted, "That's because of Qian Danqing. As long as Zhen goes back, we can naturally stop the war between the two countries. Murong Ke, you also don't want to waste troops and give the Qi and Yuan Kingdoms an opportunity in the future."
"You're right." Murong Ke smiled, "But, why should I believe you? Can you still smoothly be the Emperor when you return to the Dark North Kingdom? Your son might soon proclaim himself as the new Emperor. "
"Impossible!" Beitang Yu didn't want to believe that his son would be so heartless, "Zhen said that I will give you ten cities if you let Zhen go."
"What do I want ten cities for? When the princes of the Dark North Kingdom start fighting among themselves, Zhen might even want the entire Dark North Kingdom. "Murong Ke said expressionlessly. Beitang Yu didn't have any conditions to negotiate at all.
Hearing Murong Ke say this, Beitang Yu's face was already as gloomy as a block of ice.
