After the holy beast entered the ice cellar, Long Chen rarely asked anything, as long as the holy beast didn't run out. Unexpectedly, the holy beast and the old guard guarding it had a lively chat.
"It has been more than four hundred years since I left my hometown, but I have been locked under the altar and have seen very little of the outside world."
"I have seen less of your world. This is my first time entering your city and talking to your people."
The holy beast looked around at the houses in the city and spoke very clearly.
"You speak well, with a Xixia accent."
Long Chen couldn't help but laugh. The Holy Beast learned to speak with the old guard, and the old guard was from Xixia, so the accent that the Holy Beast learned was a Xixia accent.
"I'm not stupid, I can learn things faster than you ordinary people."
The holy beast was a little proud but also dissatisfied, feeling that Long Chen had underestimated its IQ.
"You came to see me for something, right?"
He would go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and the holy beast knew that Long Chen had a purpose in everything he did.
"Yes, I have something to talk to you about."
Long Chen walked into the ice cellar, and the holy beast followed him in.
The old guard was guarding the door. It was snowing outside and the old guard was so cold that he went back inside to warm himself by the fire.
After a while, the old guard came out and took a look. Long Chen and the holy beast were still inside.
After closing the door, the old guard continued to warm himself by the fire.
There was a cold wind outside and there was a brazier inside the house. The old guard began to take a nap in a daze.
The door opened and the cold wind rushed in. The old guard was so shaken that he woke up immediately.
"Hey, let's meet King Wu."
Opening his eyes, the old guard saw Long Chen coming in.
"You're welcome, you are an elder and there is nothing wrong with you."
Long Chen closed the door with his backhand, and the old guard brought a broken chair and asked Long Chen to sit down.
"I'm not going to sit down. I don't have anything else. You can take these and buy some wine to warm yourself up."
Long Chen took out a handful of gold coins and put them on the table. The old guard was overjoyed and declined: "What did King Wu say? I'm just staying here and haven't done anything."
Long Chen gave so many gold coins that the old guard was almost frightened.
"You always have time to talk to the Holy Beast more and talk about our lives, nothing else."
Long Chen said with a smile.
"That's no problem. I'll definitely do it, little one."
Long Chen gave so much, and the old police officer thought there was something big going on, but unexpectedly they started chatting.
"Thank you very much. You can continue to warm yourself by the fire. I'll leave first."
Long Chen walked out with a smile. The old guard sent him out and watched Long Chen leave.
Back inside the house, the old guard carefully collected the gold coins and counted them again and again in front of the brazier, a total of one hundred and ten coins.
"It's enough. I have a coffin, I can find a beautiful wife for my son, and I have enough money to buy land and build a house."
A son of an old police officer went to the south to seek refuge with his mother.
There were originally residents in Yuncheng, but because of the war, Donna asked them all to move away to avoid being affected.
The old guard was getting old and there was work to do in the city, so he stayed.
I thought I would make a living here so as not to burden my son.
In ancient times, eating was the biggest problem. It was good to have a full meal.
Unexpectedly, Long Chen gave so much, and the old guard was very happy.
"I don't know when this battle will be over."
The old guard hid the gold coins close to his body and looked at the heavy snowfall outside, feeling worried again in his heart.
When Long Chen returned to his residence, Dugu Jiali and Bai Tingting were packing their things.
“Bring the necessary things, leave the rest, and travel lightly.”
Long Chen entered the house, took off his coat, and shook off the snow on his body.
"I know, where did your husband go just now?"
Bai Tingting hung her coat on the rack.
"I've gone to find my sweetheart. I'm leaving soon. Say goodbye."
Long Chen sat down with a smile. Bai Tingting's face darkened and she said angrily: "Damn eunuch, say it again."
Dugu Jiali chuckled and said, "Don't pay attention to him. There are only soldiers in the city. How can we get along well with him?"
"He's lustful and has high standards. Most women can't even look down on him."
Bai Tingting was right when she thought about it, she was too lazy to talk to Long Chen.
"Cheng Jin has been gone for so long, and your husband has left. Do you want to leave him a message?"
Dugu Jiali packed up her things and put them all on the table.
Cheng Jin was sent to the Bingyu Mountain to chisel ice jade and bring it back to the sacred beasts to eat. This errand would take some time.
"I have left him a letter and we will leave tomorrow."
Long Chen had already made arrangements.
"Okay, I'll find some horses with good endurance."
Dugu Jiali went out and Long Chen rested in the room.
...
ice fields.
The storm blew through the canyon, and the snowflakes were blown into snow particles by the storm, filling the sky and the earth with a vast expanse of white that seemed endless.
Snow has just fallen in Yuncheng, and there is already a thick layer of snow here.
The ice sheet is the coldest place, and the wind blows out of the canyon like a source of wind and snow.
The ghost soldiers in Taniguchi Ice City were not affected at all. The cold and snow here were nothing compared to the ice fields.
A figure walked slowly from the direction of the black forest, and when he arrived at the Taniguchi Ice City, the ghost soldiers stopped him.
"I am Cheng Hui, and I have important information to report to the King."
The visitor is the deputy commander of the spies, his name is Cheng Hui, and he is now the commander of the spies.
The original commander Meng Tian was eaten by the holy beast, and deputy commander Cheng Hui took over and became the new commander.
The ghost soldier general Yue Ling came over and said coldly: "It's still windy in Storm Canyon, can you go in?"
Cheng Hui chuckled and said, "General Yueling said, I'll wait."
Yue Ling was very arrogant and Cheng Hui did not dare to talk back, so he had to wait patiently.
When the storm stopped and Storm Canyon got better, Cheng Hui immediately entered the canyon.
In the canyon in winter, even if there is no wind, the cold wind inside is very strong.
Cheng Hui stepped on the thick snow and braved the cold wind to walk inside with difficulty.
Cheng Hui walked for a long time through the more than ten kilometers of canyon before he came out.
The moment we entered the ice field, the storm suddenly stopped and there were only falling snowflakes.
The Dragon Slayer Army was practicing, shouting and killing, and Li Chengdao stood on the high platform and watched.
Cheng Hui glanced at Li Chengdao, walked a little faster, and hurried inside.
When he arrived at the entrance of the Ice Palace, the guard stopped him. Cheng Hui reported: "The information on Yanmen Pass must be reported to the king. Please report it."
The guard didn't say anything. One of them walked in, while the other stopped Cheng Hui.
After a while, the guard came out and said coldly: "Go in."
Cheng Hui smiled, lowered his head and walked quickly to the room where Wu Sheng was.
He has been here several times and knows the way around. The guard has seen him several times, but his attitude is still very bad.
The door opened and Cheng Hui walked in. Wu Sheng was discussing with the ghost girl and the demon spirit about sending troops.
"My subordinate Cheng Hui pays homage to the king, Your Majesty."
Cheng Hui saluted the Martial Saint and the Ghost Girl, but he did not kneel down.
The soldiers under Wu Sheng did not need to kneel, only Li Chengdao knelt all day long.
"Well, how's it going at Yanmen Pass?"
Wu Sheng raised his head and Cheng Hui immediately presented the information.
The demon spirit came over, took the secret message from Cheng Hui's hand, and forwarded it to Wu Sheng.
In the past, the demon spirit would not send anything to the Martial Saint. It was only after the Martial Saint was furious last time that the demon spirit changed its attitude.
Wu Sheng received the secret letter and after reading it carefully, his face became ugly.
"What's wrong, husband?"
The ghost girl felt strange, what kind of information could make Wu Sheng look so bad?
