Zhang Yifeng looked back at Ji Shan, with a little tentative doubt in his eyes.
If the king of the Snow Country was assassinated, and the matter was related to the Empire, then it would make sense for the Snow Tribe to resist Ji Shan and the others.
"Mr. Zhang, I don't know what these people are talking about."
"As for the assassination of the king of the Snow Kingdom, I don't think anyone in the empire knows about it except the royal nobles."
"Even if this matter was done by the empire, it was also done by the royal family. What does it have to do with us civilians?"
Ji Shan saw the doubts in Zhang Yifeng's eyes and immediately took a step forward and explained with a calm expression.
"Huh? Who are you? Is there a place for you to talk here?"
The white-haired middle-aged man raised his eyebrows, glanced at Ji Shan coldly, and said with disgust.
"Here is Ji Shan, the big boss of Ji Family Chamber of Commerce."
When Ji Shan heard this, he revealed his identity with a normal expression.
However, when the white-haired middle-aged man and the Snow Clan warriors he brought heard this, their faces suddenly showed strong hostility.
"It turns out it's you!"
"They stole the treasures of our Snow Clan and now they dare to come back!"
"Suffer death!"
A white-haired middle-aged soldier from the Snow Tribe beside him roared angrily, pulled out the scimitar from his waist and was about to slash at Ji Shan.
At the critical moment, a figure flashed out and quickly stood in front of Ji Shan.
The same collision of scimitars made the man who attacked Chao Jishan take several steps back.
"Guangyu, what are you doing? You are actually protecting our wanted criminals in Snow Country!"
The white-haired middle-aged man gritted his teeth and took a step forward, staring intently at the man who was protecting Jishan.
The person who intervened to stop him at the critical moment was Guang Yu, who had previously been at odds with everyone in the Ji family.
However, it was he who was the first to protect Ji Shan at this moment.
"Elder Bai Mu, the Ji family was brought back by the princess, and it is up to the princess to decide how to deal with it."
"Now you want to kill Ji's family just by your own words. Isn't it a bit too much?"
Guang Yu's eyes were fixed on Bai Mu, facing the pressure of the Snow Clan elder with no intention of retreating.
"Okay, Guangyu, it seems you are determined to go against me!"
"To oppose me is to oppose the entire Council of Elders. You really have the courage!"
Bai Mu shouted coldly, a ball of light gathered in his palm, and he was about to attack Guang Yu in public.
As a member of the Council of Elders, Bai Mu could not let his face be damaged in front of everyone.
Since Guangyu dares to contradict him, he must be prepared to pay the price!
Just when Bai Mu was about to take action, a loud laugh suddenly came from the air.
"Hahaha, the princess is finally back. I have been waiting for a long time."
Immediately, a figure was seen falling from the sky, along with dozens of Snow Clan warriors.
Zhang Yifeng turned his eyes and looked at this person.
They saw him with an old posture and white hair and beard. He was stroking his long beard and looking at Wan Renxue with a happy face.
As for the Ji family and other imperial people, although the old man didn't even look at them, he didn't show any hostility either.
"Elder Qin Wu, you..."
Seeing Qin Wu's arrival, Bai Mu's originally menacing appearance suddenly weakened.
The energy that was condensing in the palm also disappeared without a trace in an instant.
"Why, Elder Bai Mu, don't you feel excited when you see the princess coming back?"
Qin Wu turned around, took a deep look at Bai Mu and asked.
"Of course not!"
When Bai Mu heard this, his scalp felt numb and he shouted urgently.
"Isn't that enough? As for who the princess has brought back and how to deal with them, we might as well wait a little longer."
Qin Wu chuckled, and the serious expression on his face immediately relaxed.
Bai Mu lowered his head, with a gloomy look on his face.
He was sure of dealing with Wan Renxue, but not sure of being able to overthrow Qin Wu right now.
Qin Wu is the great elder of the Snow Clan and holds most of the authority in the Council of Elders.
The most important thing is that Qin Wu is a die-hard loyalist of the royal family, that is, the person who will definitely support Wan Renxue to ascend the throne in the future.
He is also Bai Mu's biggest enemy among the Snow Clan.
He had previously asked the man in the light curtain for troops and weapons, which he planned to use against Qin Wu.
But now the troops and weapons have not been delivered, and Bai Mu has no capital to fall out with Qin Wu.
Faced with his strong persecution, Bai Mu could only choose to retreat.
"Elder Qin Wu's words make sense, and I actually think so too."
Bai Mu slowly lowered his head and echoed in a deep voice.
At the same time, other elders of the Snow Clan also arrived one after another.
After landing and seeing Qin Wu and Bai Mu, some of the elders bowed their hands to them.
There are ten elders of the Snow Clan, except Qin Wu and Bai Mu.
Qin Wu had five people on his side, while Bai Mu had only three.
This is also the reason why Bai Mu is always cautious when facing the Great Elder Qin Wu.
"Princess, I heard that you have retrieved the clan treasures during your trip this time?"
After Qin Wu took a deep look at Bai Mu, he turned his head and asked Wan Renxue with a smile.
"That's right, Great Elder, I have brought back the lost clan treasures during this trip."
Wan Renxue immediately took out the piece of jade that he had previously retrieved from Ji Huanying and presented it in front of everyone in Qin Wu.
Looking at the piece of jade in Wanrenxue's palm, Qin Wu's eyes suddenly flashed with light.
"Sure enough, the princess is worthy of inheriting the king's bloodline."
"Even though I am a girl, I can still show the bravery that belongs to the Snow Clan royal family in danger!"
Qin Wu said with a big smile, and then looked at the Ji family and other imperial people.
"Princess, although you have brought the treasure back, these Imperial people need to be carefully discussed before they become citizens of the Snow Country."
"After all, the relationship between the Empire and the Snow Kingdom has long been incompatible. I am worried that this is a conspiracy by the Empire."
"Princess, you might as well arrange for them to stay in the fortress for the time being until the outcome of the discussion is reached tomorrow?"
Seeing the treasure being brought back, Qin Wu looked at the Ji family and others with a flash of thought in his eyes.
However, in order to ensure the safety of the Snow Country, he still felt that it would take a round of discussions.
"Then Renxue followed the advice of the great elder and took everyone back to the castle to rest."
When Wan Renxue heard this, there was no sign of resistance on her face, she just nodded in agreement.
Immediately, she led everyone in the Ji family back to the flying boat and drove all the way to the depths of the Snow Country.
Zhang Yifeng had been following Wan Renxue, and he noticed that there were only a few Snow Clan warriors present.
When most people looked at the Ji family and other imperial people, there was an undisguised hostility in their eyes.
Zhang Yifeng knew that the relationship between the Snow Country and the Empire was extremely bad, but he did not expect that it had reached this point.
Even an ordinary Snow Clan warrior can't seem to tolerate the presence of the Imperial people in his eyes.
