After a bumpy January, the palace of the Palace of Resentment is still towering.

In the face of the spring flowers blooming at this time, the fragrant breeze hits people, and the prosperity of the city seems to have broken the ice again, starting the splendid prosperity of the new year.

But......

The top floor of the Palace of Resentment, inside the City Lord's Palace.

Behind the muslin curtain, the handsome and personable city lord was not lying on his mink chair at the moment.

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

The pair of majestic Danfeng's eyes revealed a little anger in them. However, he was forced to suppress by him with excellent cultivation.

Defeat does not make a city lord feel any anger.

Since ancient times, victory and defeat have been a common thing in soldiers.

And he also believes very much that life is not as expected, and sometimes it is not so simple to succeed.

Therefore, when someone reported that the more than 200 disciples led by Qin You had all been killed, and that the mission to hunt down the Ice Fairy had completely failed this time, he was only slightly surprised, and then began to think about the real background and motives behind the Ice Fairy.

But......

But!

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

After all, the other side of Xue Meiniang is connected to the Houtu Country, and that cold fairy is likely to be a spy of the Houtu Country.

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

This, those words that came out of the mouths of those who survived the catastrophe!

"You say it again, what the hell is going on?!"

The city lord behind the curtain did not speak.

At this moment, the one who spoke was the princess of Nanyao Palace, Nangong Rou, who was sitting on a chair next to her.

Kneeling in the center of the hall at this moment was the young general who was acting with the army at that time. With fear on his face, when he heard Nangong Rou speak, he hurriedly slammed his head on the ground and said loudly-

"Subordinate...... What the subordinates said was true! There was no half-truth! Princess Wangnan...... Look at the city lord Mingjian!"

"General Qin led our army to the foot of the southern mountain of Xue Meiniang that day, and then stationed for more than a month, and then ...... Afterwards...... 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 be as fast as you said just now, be more detailed!"

"Yes...... Yes......! The young man did not directly claim to be the envoy of the Houtu Kingdom, but General Qin deduced from his speech and demeanor and the direction he pointed to that he was indeed an envoy sent by the Houtu Kingdom and had come to negotiate. And then...... The teenager said, ......"

Nangong Rou: "Say what!"

"Yes...... Yes!"

The young general shuddered for a moment, and hurriedly said-

"The young man said that he asked General Qin You to lead us to evacuate the camp immediately. If General Qin does not listen, he will lead an army of about fifty men to attack us! Hurry our troops into a frozen lake to the east and drown us!"

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

She glanced in the direction where the city lord was, and after hesitating for a moment, she asked, "General Qin...... He led 200 inner and outer disciples out of the city, right? Among them, there were 100 inner disciples, right? And then he added other friends who joined along the way...... The total number of people should be more than 300, right?"

"Back to ...... Princess Huinan...... Three hundred and twenty-eight in all......"

The general said tremblingly.

Nangong Rou nodded: "In other words...... In the presence of your three hundred and twenty-eight men, the messenger of the Thick Earth Kingdom threatened to destroy you with a force of fifty men?............ Is it because I didn't learn arithmetic well, and I gave it all back to my teacher? Or did you General Qin invent some new counting method?"

"Subordinate...... The subordinates don't know ......"

Nangong Rou exhaled and continued, "Then what? Then, General Qin really pulled out the camp?"

The little general nodded hurriedly and said in a panic: "Yes! General Qin has really pulled out the camp!"

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

Little General: "Yes...... Yes, General Qin led us towards the ice lake......"

Nangong Rou: "Go on...... You're going to fall into the lake, and in the blink of an eye, you're almost all gone?"

Although, the little general now bows his head.

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

However, he did not dare to lie. So far, I can only bite the bullet, kowtow again and again, and reply "yes".

At this moment, Nangong Rou had nothing to say.

The entire hall was silent.

The ladies who were sitting lazily around also stopped their elegant and dignified playing the piano and drinking, and began to talk to each other.

Finally......

"Chasers. ”

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, were there any pursuers behind you who forced you into the lake?"

Little General: "No...... No...... It was completely General Qin who took us and walked into the ice lake voluntarily...... Fortunately, the villain's mind body is 'wading', and his ability to move in the water is very strong. But it took a lot of effort to barely resist the cold in the lake, and I was lucky enough to escape from another ice crack......"

In an instant, the entire hall fell silent again.

Nangong Rou then asked, "So...... And then what did you see and hear when you sneaked up on it?

After the subordinates climbed onto the ice with difficulty, they saw from afar that General Qin You was fighting with that young man. That young man seems to have been frozen in a large ice ball, and I don't know how General Lu Dao Qin did it......

At that time, the boy seemed to be in pain, and he kept begging General Qin to break the ice ball outside his body...... The boy was so sad that he couldn't breathe......"

Nangong Rou nodded: "And then, what did General Qin do?"

Junior General: "That...... After General Qin heard the young man's cry for help, he really concentrated all his mental power on the four beasts he controlled, and together they carried out the most fierce attack on the ice ball. Then, the ice hockey ball was shattered, and General Qin's telekinesis ...... It is also because of this that the ...... is exhausted"

"And then !!"

Suddenly, a terrifying roar came from behind the curtain! This roar made the little general want his whole body to sink into the floor!

And then ...... And then then! General Qin, who was exhausted of mental power...... Although the distance was relatively far, and there was still a very thick layer of fog at that time, his subordinates were very sure that a lot of blood was splashed from General Qin's neck, and it was obvious that he had been killed!!"
