After a bumpy month, the palace of the Palace of Religion is still towering.

Faced with the warm spring and the fragrant wind blowing, the prosperity in this city seems to break the ice again and begin the beautiful prosperity of the new year.

but……

The upper level of the Palace of Religion, inside the City Lord’s Hall.

Behind the thin gauze curtain, the handsome and elegant city lord was not lying on his sable fur seat at this moment.

He stood behind the curtain with his hands on his back.

The pair of Dan Feng's eyes that contained majestic showed a little anger. However, he was suppressed by his excellent cultivation.

Failure will not make a city lord feel any anger.

Since ancient times, victory and defeat have been common in military affairs.

And he also believes that life is unsatisfactory and sometimes it is not so easy to succeed.

Therefore, when someone informed that more than 200 disciples from Buliucheng led by Qin You were all killed, the mission of searching for the Ice Fairy was completely failed, he was just a little surprised, and then began to think about the real background and motivation behind the Ice Fairy.

but……

but!

What really made him angry was not that Qin You failed in the battle and saved his life.

After all, the other side of Xue Meiniang is connected to the country of Hutu, and the cold fairy is likely to be a spy from Hutu.

What really made him angry was the person kneeling outside the hall now!

This, the words that the person who survived the disaster, swears out of his mouth!

"You say it again, what's going on?"

The city lord behind the gauze curtain did not speak.

At this moment, the one who started talking was Nangong Rou, who was sitting upright on a chair next to her.

At this moment, the young general who was kneeling in the center of the hall was the one who was acting with the army at that time. His face was filled with fear. When he heard Nangong Rou talking, he quickly knocked his head heavily to the ground and said loudly—

"My subordinates...everything is true! There is no lie! Princess Nan...I hope the city lord will understand!"

"General Qin led our army to the foot of Xue Meiniang's southern mountain that day and then stationed for more than a month. After... and suddenly, a boy about fifteen or sixteen years old appeared!"

Nangong Rou glanced at the city lord behind the gauze curtain and continued, "Then what? Don't say so quickly as you said just now, be more detailed!"

"Yes...yes! That... the young man did not directly call himself an envoy of the Lutu Kingdom, but General Qin inferred based on his words and deeds and the direction he pointed to that he was indeed an envoy sent by the Lutu Kingdom and was here to negotiate. Then... the young man said, "

Nangong Rou: "What are you saying!"

“Yes…yes!”

The young general shivered for a moment and said quickly-

"This young man said that he asked General Qin You to lead us to evacuate the Zha Camp site immediately. If General Qin does not obey, he will lead an army of about fifty people to attack! Hurry our troops into an ice lake in the east and drown us!"

Even Nangong Rou, at this moment, her eyebrows, which were like willow leaves, were slightly frowned.

She glanced at the direction where the city lord was, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "General Qin... led 200 internal and external disciples out? Among them, there are 100 internal disciples, right? Then, with other friends from the rivers and lakes who joined along the way... the total number of people should exceed 300, right?"

"Return...Return to the South Princess... There are 328 people in total..."

The general said tremblingly.

Nangong Rou nodded: "In other words... the envoy of Thick Land threatened to use a 50-man army to destroy you in front of you 328 people?...Is it because I didn't learn arithmetic well and I returned it to my teacher? Or did you General Qin invent any new counting method?"

"Subordinates...I don't know..."

Nangong Rou breathed out and continued, "What? Then, General Qin really set off the camp?"

The young general nodded quickly and said in panic: "Yes! General Qin has really set off the camp!"

Nangong Rou: "After that, General Qin walked directly towards the ice lake that the other envoy said?"

The young general: "Yes...yes, General Qin took us to the ice lake..."

Nangong Rou: "Then... you fell into the lake? In the blink of an eye, it was almost wiped out?"

Although, the young general is now bowing his head.

But even with his head down, he seemed to be able to feel the strong sense of pressure coming from the gauze curtain.

However, he did not dare to lie. At this point, he could only bite the bullet and kowtow repeatedly, and replied "Yes".

At this moment, Nangong Rou had nothing to say.

The entire hall also became silent.

The lazily sitting around, the women also stopped their graceful and dignified playing the piano and drinking, and began to whisper to each other.

finally……

"Chasing soldiers."

After a long time, the city lord behind the gauze curtain finally spit out a line of words from his mouth—

"When you entered the ice lake, are there any pursuers behind you who force you into the lake?"

The young general: "No...No... It was General Qin who took us voluntarily into the ice lake... Fortunately, the villain's mind was 'wading' and had a strong ability to move in the water. But it took him a lot of effort to barely resist the coldness in the lake water, and escaped from another ice crack by chance..."

In an instant, the entire hall fell silent again.

Nangong Rou continued to ask: "So...and what? After you sneak up, what did you see and hear?"

The young general: "Yes, yes! After my subordinates climbed onto the ice surface with difficulty, they saw General Qin You fighting the young man. The young man seemed to have been frozen in a large ice hockey. I don't know how General Qin did it..."

"At that time, the boy seemed to be in great pain and kept asking General Qin to break the ice hockey outside his body... The boy was so sad that he seemed to be unable to breathe..."

Nangong Rou nodded: "What? How did General Qin do it?"

The young general: "When General Qin heard the boy's call for help, he really concentrated all his mind power on the four beasts he controlled, and launched the most fierce attack on the ice hockey. Then, the ice hockey was smashed, and General Qin's mind power... was also exhausted..."

"Then what!!!"

Suddenly, a terrifying roar came from behind the gauze curtain! This roar made the young general wish that his whole body would be embedded in the floor!
Chapter completed!
