"Do you think Qi Ruoshui is suspicious?" Mo Rongzhan put down the memorial in his hand and looked at Ye Zhen, who rarely came to the Palace of Heavenly Purity to see him. The little girl scratched her forehead and told him about her encounter with Qi Ruoshui today. "Listening to her explanation, there are no mistakes at all.
She was taken to the Priest Palace to treat the old Witch King and later escaped. A few months ago, she met her master in the State of Qi. The brother and sister have not seen each other for many years and always have a lot to talk about. She could only watch her master being taken away because she was afraid of the power of the Priest Palace. It sounds reasonable and it seems that she is not wrong at all. However, why didn't the Priest Palace, thousands of miles away, capture Qi Jin, who is more skilled in medicine, but Qi Ruoshui? Since the Priest Palace is the most sacred place in Western Liang, how could a weak woman like her escape so easily? "Ye Zhen turned to look at Mo Rongzhan and said seriously.
Mo Rongzhan nodded. "It is doubtful. I thought you would believe in Qi Jin and her daughter."
"I believe in Medical Officer Qi, but Qi Ruoshui's appearance is too strange. I don't believe her. I let her go today because I don't want to alert the enemy." Ye Zhen was very clear that no matter how she asked, Qi Ruoshui would not reveal more. She was too calm.
"Have you asked Qi Jin why they are incompatible like fire and water?" Mo Rongzhan asked.
Ye Zhen shook her head. "I haven't asked yet. I saw that Medical Officer Qi's face is not very good today. I don't know what happened between them."
Mo Rongzhan waved to Ye Zhen and asked her to sit beside him. "Qi Ruoshui said that there must be something wrong with her escape from the Priest Palace. Did she mention the identity of the current Witch King?"
"She said that she was the adopted daughter of the old Witch King, a woman." Ye Zhen said.
"A woman?" Mo Rongzhan raised his eyebrows slightly. This surprised him a little. He always thought that the Witch King should be a man, otherwise he would not advocate war between Western Liang and the Jin Kingdom.
Ye Zhen saw his surprised look and could not help but smile. "You didn't expect it either. I didn't expect the Witch King to be a woman."
Mo Rongzhan frowned and said, "Wanyan Xi did not mention this at the beginning."
"At that time, we didn't expect the Witch King to be a woman, so we didn't ask too much." Ye Zhen felt that they had been negligent. "Yes, Wanyan Xi and Ah Yi are still in the barracks. I don't know how they are doing. The Empress Dowager has been thinking about Ah Yi day and night. On the other hand, he has been in the wilderness for so long and still hasn't come back.
"The war has been going on for so long but Western Liang has not mentioned him at all. It seems that the King of Western Liang does not care about his son at all. Wanyan Xi has already returned to Western Liang with his guards. Your brother has given him a few people to help him," Mo Rongzhan said in a low voice.
Ye Zhen was stunned. "Isn't he wanted in Xiliang? What is he doing back there?"
"Save his uncle." Mo Rongzhan said in a deep voice, "If Tuoba Xuanyuan knew that his nephew was in trouble, he would definitely save him. However, there has been no news of him for so long. I'm afraid that he has been imprisoned or killed."
"It seems that Western Liang is in troubled times." Ye Zhen said.
"As for Ah Yi …" Mo Rongzhan rubbed his forehead. "Your brother left him behind and did not bring him back."
Ye Zhen frowned. "You won't let Ah Yi go to the battlefield, will you?"
"If he dares to go to the battlefield and make meritorious deeds, it's good that he doesn't drag others down." Mo Rongzhan snorted coldly. When the boy comes back, he will teach him a lesson.
"Be sure to come back safely." Ye Zhen said that the Empress Dowager could not wait to kill her now. If anything happened to Mo Rongyi, the relationship between them would be even worse.
Mo Rongzhan smiled. "He won't have an accident so easily. It's good to let him gain experience. This boy can't stay in the capital."
Ye Zhen didn't understand the meaning of Mo Rongzhan's words, but since he said so, Mo Rongyi must be fine.
"Hey, do you know anything about Qi Jin and her mother?" Ye Zhen asked. She felt that it was necessary to figure out the grievances between Qi Ruoshui and Qi Jin first.
Mo Rongzhan raised his eyebrows and thought about it. For too many years, the Qi family's population was small, and they had lived in seclusion for many years. It was really not easy to find out. "Don't you want to ask Qi Jin?"
"Kinship is the most profound. It must not be simple for a mother and daughter to be so incompatible. If I ask her, won't it make her recall the pain of the past?" Ye Zhen whispered. "I'll let Xue Lin check it out again."
Wasteland, barracks.
On the beacon tower, Tang Zhen and Ye Chunnan stood side by side, looking in the direction of the Western Liang barracks.
"The scouts reported that Lu Lingzhi is no longer in the barracks." Ye Chunnan's voice was a little low, with anger that only he could understand.
"He never does things for no reason. There must be more important things to do when he leaves the barracks." Tang Zhen whispered. He knew Lu Lingzhi, so he was a little worried about what would happen next.
Ye Chunnan looked at him. "What will Lu Lingzhi do?"
Tang Zhen said, "I don't know."
Now, what could be more important than this place? Tang Zhen thought of a reason why Lu Lingzhi must leave, but he felt it was absurd, so he could not say it.
He had known Lu Lingzhi for so many years, but he had not seen through him. He did not know that his good friend had long fallen in love with Ye Zhen, and he did not know that Lu Lingzhi later treated Yao Yao the same way. If there was anything else Lu Lingzhi cared about, it might be Lu Yaoyao.
However, Yao Yao had become the Empress of Jin Kingdom. Did he think he could change anything?
"I will kill him myself in the future." Ye Chunnan said, his eyes firm.
Tang Zhen was slightly startled and looked sideways at him. "Does General Ye hate Lu Lingzhi so much because of the late Empress?"
"He poisoned my sister. We will not live under the same sky with him." Ye Chunnan said.
"Although I have not seen the late Empress, I heard that she and the Empress were born of the same mother. I think she will not be worse than the Empress. If I had such a sister, I would naturally take care of her in the palm of my hand and be reluctant to be hurt. I can understand General Ye's anger." Tang Zhen said, imagining that if Yao Yao was his sister, he might love her more than Ye Chunnan.
Ye Chunnan glanced at Tang Zhen. Wasn't Lu Yaoyao now Ye Zhen? But he could not say such a thing.
"Take down the No War Flag!" Tang Zhen suddenly said in a deep voice.
Ye Chunnan was stunned and turned to look ahead. Sure enough, the No War Flag that had been erected on the beacon tower of the Western Liang barracks was taken down.
"It seems that Chu Li has arrived at the barracks." Ye Chunnan showed a sneer and looked down at Jin Shanshan, who was still unaware. Maybe it was time to tell her.
Tang Zhen said, "Li Jing's tactics are unexpected and difficult to distinguish, somewhat different from Lu Lingzhi's."
"He is also insidious and despicable, otherwise he would not have been driven out of the Jin army." Ye Chunnan snorted coldly.
