Shuizhou, military camp.
Although Song Honao had sent a messenger to deliver a letter to Ming Xi, he didn't really think that Ming Xi would come to see him.
He had never seen Lu Yaoyao's child and hadn't seen Lu Yaoyao for a long time.
When he and Zhao Yong first met her in the Jin State, she was still pregnant. The warm sunlight fell on her body, and everything around her seemed to become beautiful and quiet because of her.
That scene had always been on his mind.
When the former Emperor saw her, the look in his eyes … left a deep impression on him.
Lu Yaoyao should be the woman that Zhao Yong was truly moved by.
He wondered if her child … was very similar to her.
Song Honao lowered his eyes slightly, suppressing all his memories. "Has Mo Mingxi arrived?"
"Yes, he's outside the barracks," the soldier outside said.
"Quick, invite him in." Song Honao stood up, a smile in his eyes.
It didn't look like he was going to see his opponent, it was more like seeing his son.
Ming Xi only brought Shang 'er to the Qi State's barracks. The atmosphere here was really completely different from that in Jingzhou. Every soldier here seemed full of morale. Without Tang Zhen's support, the Ning State would be completely vulnerable in the battle between the two armies.
Song Honao saw a teenager slowly walking in. He looked like Mo Rongzhan, but his eyes seemed to be able to see the shadow of Lu Yaoyao. As the rumors said, this child's eyes were different from ordinary people, one black and one red, looking mysterious and strange, but because he was handsome, he didn't make people feel afraid at all.
"Young Master Ming Xi, I've long heard of your name." Song Honao smiled slightly, treating the other person as an equal.
"General Song is the real famous one. How can a nobody like me compare to you?" Ming Xi said with a smile. He had heard of Song Honao before. Not long after he returned, he had led troops to attack the Jin State.
Song Honao shook his head and smiled. "Young Master Ming Xi, don't joke. Sit down and talk. I've met your mother before, so we can be considered old acquaintances."
"Old acquaintances? Old acquaintances can lead troops to attack my sister's Ning State? "Ming Xi asked with a faint smile.
"Uh." Song Hongrao was taken aback. He smiled bitterly and said, "I hope you can forgive me. I had no choice. No one wants to fight on the battlefield."
Ming Xi nodded. "Indeed. Now that the common people are having trouble protecting themselves, it really isn't good to waste troops to wage war."
Mortals? Song Hongao raised his eyebrows. These words sounded a little strange, as if he, Ming Xi, was not a mortal. "Young Master Ming Xi, what do you mean?"
"General Song has already seen the demonic beast. Do you still need to ask?" Ming Xi lightly asked. When he had entered the tent, he had already sensed the aura left behind by the mastiff. Although it was very faint, he had still sensed it.
"You mean …" Song Hongao sat up straight. "Those demonic beasts will harm the people?"
Ming Xi glanced at him, "Speaking of this, I'm rather curious, how was General Song able to make the Mastiff listen to your orders?"
Song Hongao was inwardly startled. Mo Mingxi actually knew about the Mastiffs.
"This, young master Ming Xi must be joking. How could I have the ability to make the demonic beast listen to me? It's already good enough that I was able to preserve my life." Song Hongao smiled.
"That's right. How did you have the ability to make the Mastiff listen to you? That's why I'm curious, how did you do it?" Ming Xi asked.
Song Hongao looked at Ming Xi. "I don't understand what you're talking about."
Ming Xi faintly smiled. "General Song, when I mentioned the demonic beasts, you didn't seem surprised at all. It's obvious that you have a certain understanding of demonic beasts. Then, you should know that the Blood Demon and the Great Demonic Beast have been revived. The Mastiff must have told you everything."
"I don't know much." Song Hongao said in a low voice. It seemed that it was impossible to hide it from Ming Xi. He knew too much.
"Since you know, you still want to wage war?" Ming Xi raised his eyebrows.
Song Hongao said, "I've already said that starting a war is not my intention."
Ming Xi said indifferently, "Zhao Rao is in the imperial palace and has the protection of the Violet Qi. She has never seen the demonic beasts, so she doesn't know the danger the world is facing. Don't you know? Zhao Rao only wants revenge. My mother is in the Qi Kingdom. Let her go find my mother to take revenge. "
"Why would Lu Yaoyao go to the Qi Kingdom?" Song Hongao asked with a frown. He had heard of this before, but the scout who went to gather information had not returned. He didn't know why Lu Yaoyao would go to the imperial capital.
"Naturally, it's for the Blood Demon in the Qi Kingdom's imperial palace." Ming Xi said, "If we don't release the Blood Demon, the Qi Kingdom's imperial palace will flow with rivers of blood."
Song Hongao stood up abruptly. "Those Blood Demons are really in the imperial palace?"
"Why would I lie to you?" Ming Xi laughed.
"I …" Song Hongao took a deep breath and wiped his face. Actually, he still had many doubts in his heart. He had seen the demonic beasts injure soldiers, and it wasn't something mortals could easily deal with. If dozens of demonic beasts appeared at the same time, then half of the Qi Kingdom would be destroyed very quickly.
"Currently, the demonic beasts haven't appeared to harm mortals on a large scale. It's not because they have pity in their hearts. It's because the Blood Demon, Wolong Sheng, is controlling them. However, he doesn't have the Demon Command Flag, so he won't be able to control them for long. Those demonic beasts will soon appear again." Ming Xi said, "General Song, this is all I want to say today. If you want to start a war, that's fine. However, we might not lose. It's just that it's not good for both sides to suffer."
Song Hongao remained silent. He had heard the Yong Beast mention Wolong Sheng and the other Blood Demons, but he didn't expect Ming Xi to know about it as well.
It seemed like everything was true. The world would really fall into chaos. However, this chaos wasn't a war between countries, but a war between mortals and demonic beasts.
"Can we mortals fight against demonic beasts? Can we win? "Song Hongao asked in a low voice.
"No one knows what will happen next." Ming Xi said, "The war between our Ning Kingdom and the Qi Kingdom can be settled in the future."
Song Hongao said, "I'm willing to do that, but …"
"Then we wait." Ming Xi said, "Sooner or later, Zhao Rao will know what's going on outside their imperial city."
Without the suppression of the great demonic beasts, without the control of the Demon Command Flag, the demonic beasts of this world would soon riot.
Some of the demonic beasts from the Desolate Hell believed that the Soaring Serpent could not be revived. They felt that the Blood Demon had been sealed for tens of thousands of years and had long lost his original cultivation. Naturally, he would dare to do anything.
Ten thousand years ago, the mortals of the mortal world were able to coexist peacefully with the demonic beasts because of the Soaring Serpent.
Thinking about it this way, the Soaring Serpent wasn't that bad after all.
"I need to think about it." Song Hongao said, "Give me a few days."
Ming Xi stood up, "Alright, take your time."
