Hu Ming had no choice but to bite the bullet and said, "Yes, keep walking. It's dangerous to stay here anyway. The wolves will come."
Hammer thought about it, it was impossible to hide. After all, the distance was so close. He said with his sword: "Okay, you protect the little princess, I will deal with the wolves. If you have a chance, you can run away. I am good at qinggong, so I will catch up."
.”
They were fully prepared, but they didn't encounter any wolves as they went forward. It was as peaceful as walking on a country road.
Bangtou was surprised. He clearly saw the wolves, so why didn't they attack?
Are they all full?
It's so weird! After daybreak, the road becomes easier to walk. The sun is shining, and it's not hot in the dense forest, so it's very cool.
Zelan came down and walked by herself. Bangtou thought she would make a fuss and cry, but unexpectedly, she just followed them obediently, looking around, and occasionally squatting down to lift rocks to look.
He felt even more evil, but Hu Minghui explained that he probably thought that he couldn't run away, so he just wanted to be quiet and not suffer.
Hammer couldn't accept this explanation. It wasn't surprising for an adult to have such thoughts, but the little princess was just a child.
But if she doesn't cry, you can't make her cry, right?
I had no choice but to continue on the road with this evil mentality.
After passing the dense forest, there are relatively barren hills. The hills are rusty red or black, and there are weeds, but not many.
Zeelan was very satisfied with what he saw. This is it. If the capital wants to get rid of poverty, it must rely on these mountains.
However, these mountains are connected with the Kingdom of Jin. It is temporarily difficult to determine which part belongs to the Kingdom of Jin and which part belongs to Ruodu City. This is a historical issue left by the Northern Desert and the Kingdom of Jin. The boundaries are blurred. If we can
It's best to work together to mine. I'm afraid the Jin Kingdom is too greedy and wants to take them all away.
The Kingdom of Jin has always believed that if the capital city belongs to them, the possibility of peaceful joint mining is unlikely.
It doesn't matter, my wife once taught me that when reasoning is useless, fists have meaning. If the fists are not strong enough, then the brain is a good thing.
If the capital's fist is not strong enough, it will be impossible to capture the Kingdom of Jin. Then you have to use your brain a little bit at this time.
After walking for two days and two nights, the three of them finally walked out of the mountain.
Hammer was exhausted, Hu Ming was panting, but Zelan was walking on flat ground, his expression remained unchanged and he was not panting.
Hammer felt even more evil.
After the two of them took Zelan down the mountain, they went straight to the temporary residence of Jin Kingdom and asked to see the king of the town, saying that they were here to collect the reward.
After waiting for a while, the king of the town came out.
Wearing a black dragon-patterned costume, it is of princely standard, but the workmanship is not very exquisite, which shows that the embroidery work is very poor. The silk fabrics of the Jin Kingdom are not famous, and they are all passed down from the Northern Tang Dynasty.
The king of Zhen was about thirty-six or seventeen years old. He was tall and handsome, but his temperament was very feminine. This femininity even overshadowed his domineering power. He raised his robe and sat on the Taishi chair, waiting for Hu Ming and Lang to come forward to pay their respects.
Afterwards, his eyes fell on Zeelan's face.
Zelan lowered her head now, looking very frightened. Her eyes were looking around uncertainly, and her legs were shaking slightly in fear.
The king of Zhen said calmly: "How can I determine her identity?"
Hu Ming took out the phoenix pendant token and said, "Your Majesty, please take a look at it!"
This is the re-engraved token with her title when Zelan was named the Princess of the Kingdom.
The pattern of the token is specially made. It is a royal token and cannot be counterfeited. The king of the town has a lot of experience, so he has naturally seen the tokens of the royal family of the Northern Tang Dynasty.
He raised his hand and asked someone to present a stack of silver notes. Hu Ming took a look and saw that they were issued by the Jinguo Bank. These banknotes can be exchanged for gold or silver at any bank in the Jinguo.
The two took the banknotes and split them on the spot. Each took fifty thousand taels and then left.
Hu Ming followed the instructions and left after taking the money. He was actually uneasy. However, the princess's instructions were like this. He had to listen. He only hoped that Miss Zhou did not lie to him. All the bandits on Langshan Mountain were burned to death by the princess.
Yes, then the princess can escape from here.
The bad thing is the hammer.
He had already walked out, and when he looked back, he saw a tall guard pinching Zelan's shoulder fiercely. He suddenly stopped, ran back almost without thinking, pushed the guard away, and
Zelan stood behind him, "I regretted it, I don't want the money, I want to take people away!"
Not only everyone in the mansion was stunned, but even Zeelan was stunned. He raised his eyes and looked at Hammer. When he came all the way, he didn't realize that he was so conscientious.
Why did my conscience suddenly become aware of it?
King Zhen's face darkened, and he became more and more sinister and cold, "Can I leave now that I'm here?
Fight out!"
Hammer quickly wanted to hug Zelan, but was swept away by the tall guard with a sword. Hammer took a step back, took out the banknote, and said with difficulty: "I...I regret it, and I will return the banknote to you."
The guards in the mansion had quickly picked up Zelan and taken him away. Hammer chased after him. When Hu Ming saw this, he was very angry and could only chase after him, fearing that a fight would hurt the little princess.
However, the two of them were no match for so many guards. After fighting for more than a hundred times, they could only be beaten and watched helplessly as Zeelan was taken away.
Zeelan came with a plan. He didn't expect things to turn out like this, and he couldn't tell them to run away.
While Hu Ming was struggling to deal with the situation, he didn't care so much when he saw the opportunity. He hurriedly grabbed the hammer and ran away.
Zelan, who was watching from the corridor, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Before she finished breathing, she saw a tall shadow coming over her. She raised her head and looked into the cold eyes of the king.
"Is it worth it for the princess to risk her life for one hundred thousand taels?
It is said that the royal family of the Northern Tang Dynasty was poor, and now it seems that it is indeed the case!"
His voice was neither slow nor fast.
he knows.
Zelan stopped pretending, broke away from the guard's control, and grinned, "I heard that the Kingdom of Jin has made a lot of money by selling minerals in the past few years. Now it turns out that it is true. Even though we know that we are here for money, we are still willing to give."
Get out."
The king still tried to see a little fear in her eyes, but he was disappointed, "A fair deal, I will give you one hundred thousand taels of silver. As for the princess, she is willing to come to our Kingdom of Jin as a guest without any coercion. Does the princess agree?"
"
"agree!"
Zelan nodded.
King Zhen raised his eyes, and coldness gradually formed in his eyes, "Princess Suwen knows how to control fire, but she just doesn't know if she can continue to control fire if she is trapped in a water prison?"
Zelan was startled, "Water prison?"
The king of Zhen sneered, "Take the princess to the water prison. She is not allowed to come out without my permission!"
The water prison is in the middle of a lake in the mansion. There is a huge piece of ice in the lake, and a small house is drilled into the giant ice.
On such a hot day, there was a piece of ice in the lake. Zelan's eyes suddenly turned light red. Could it be?
"Princess knows the art of controlling fire. Is it possible that she hasn't heard of anyone who knows the art of controlling ice?"
The Zhen King's voice came from behind, with a cold aura.
Zelan turned around and looked at King Zhen, "The person who knows the art of controlling ice is not you, but who is it?
where is he?"
The King of Zhen said coldly: "You don't have to ask, just wait for your father to exchange Ruodu City, and you will be free."
Zelan didn't speak any more and followed the guards. He was just a little surprised. Doesn't the king of this town have no common sense?
Water can overcome fire, but fire can also melt ice, right?
Besides, she never knew anything about firebending.
Furthermore, if she only knew how to control fire after following her master for all these years, then all these years would have been in vain.
