Chapter 9: Tuo Li, Precious Clues

Torrie and his elder brothers, Prince Tuo'an, Meng Sa, Meng Ying, and his retinue, hid behind a huge rock and watched the confrontation between the rock giant and the snow giant. For Torre www.biquge.info what he was most concerned about was whether the summoner who controlled the giant had ever been to Xijia Village in the Crystal Country, because the red rope that controlled the rock giant and the snow giant was so similar to the red rope on the willow tree in Xijia Village, that he couldn't help but think of Xijia Village and Xiyue.

Strangely, both the rock giant and the snow giant stood still. At some point, the north wind began to howl, and then the snow fell wildly. The cold wind swept the snow down the valley, making it difficult to keep your eyes open.

"Rabbit Tooth, what silk thread did you ****** buy? It didn't take much mana to break it! How can I control this rock!? A gruff voice fell from above the rock giant's head, accompanied by wind and snowflakes. It turns out that the rock giant and the snow giant are controlled by silk threads, which is similar to the red rope on the willow tree in Xijia Village! Hearing this, Tuolie thought to himself whether this silk thread would have any connection with Xijia Village.

"Oh, rat head, don't mention it!" A shrill voice like a cat's meow came from the snow giant.

"Last month, I led a few of my men and was preparing to go south through Xiyang City. Xiyang City suddenly ordered the city to be closed, and dug trenches and set traps outside the city, as if facing a great enemy. We were all shut out of the city. You know I'm anxious, and besides, there is only one time left in the silk trade in the capital this year, so I can't miss it, and I also heard that there is a batch of high-quality Tianshan snow silk to be traded, and it was bought by others when it was late! So that night, I used the summoning technique as a last resort, but I didn't have much silk in my hand, so I could only summon nearby animals, hoping to summon a few eagles, but it didn't matter if I didn't summon, I was startled when I summoned it! ”

"What's wrong?" The gruff voice came from the rock giant again.

"Do you remember Kitsune Immortal Motsuka?"

"Kitsune Immortal Moka?!" Then both of them fell silent for a while, as if they did not want to mention the matter.

"And what did you summon? It can't be such a coincidence! The summoner known as the rat head said.

"You see, it's such a coincidence!" The summoner, known as Rabbit Fang, replied depressedly, "It's not just one, it's a litter, and then the entire fox in Kitsune Fairy Tsuka fled in panic." Many of them accidentally fell into the trench by the Xiyang city wall, and there were countless deaths and injuries. Maybe they saw me as a summoner and thought of the massacre of the Dark Wolf King, and these foxes might be the descendants of those fox fairies! ”

"In other words, didn't you go to the silk trade fair in the capital?" Rat Head asked.

"I got my tail. Unexpectedly, after a few days, Xiyang City was allowed to pass, so I arrived in the capital non-stop, but the silk trade in the capital was the last day. I soon inquired that the Tianshan Snow Silk was sold to the wealthy merchants of the Yinluo Kingdom at a high price by the Imperial Silk Supervisor (the official in charge of the silk trade in the Crystal Kingdom) of the Imperial Court, and a large number of sonic boom conches were purchased from the Yinluo Kingdom, and it seems that the Imperial Court has begun to expand its armaments! It seems that the prophecy of the Dark Wolf King has come true! ”

"What prophecy, isn't that obvious? You're less of the Dark Devil Wolf King's ass! The rat head said disdainfully.

"The Dark Wolf King?!" Hearing this, everyone in Torret looked at each other, because they had never heard of the character "Dark Devil Wolf King", but this made them want to listen carefully, although the cold wind was biting, and the blizzard drilled straight into the body along the fierce wind, everyone still held their breath and listened quietly.

"Later, I have been quietly following this group of rich merchants of Yinluo Country, and I wanted to secretly seize these silks, but I found that there were also a few people with strong spells among the rich merchants, and they didn't dare to do it for fear of being exposed, but in the process of tracking, I discovered a secret!" Rabbit Tooth continued.

"What's the secret?" The mouse head asked curiously.

"It turns out that Crystal City is also making a secret deal with the Yinluo Country!"

Hearing this, Tuolie immediately thought of Bai Dongyu, the city lord of Crystal City, and during his time in Xijia Village, Tuolie often heard the name Bai Dongyu. Tuo Lie knew that Pan Yu, that is, Xiyue's mother, and Bai Dongyu were cousins. Thinking that this had something to do with the setting moon, Torrey paid more attention to the conversation between the two.

"You mean, Crystal City is also secretly expanding its strength! This is important, I must tell this information to the Dark Wolf King as soon as possible! The mouse-headed said, "Then that's the end of today's competition!" I'm going to tell the Dark Wolf King about this, and he'll be happy! Then you continue to monitor the movements of Ice Wolf Mountain! ”

"Okay, it seems that there will only be more and more living coffins in Ice Wolf Mountain! The Dark Devil Wolf King is really clever! ”

"By the way, the Black Devil Wolf King has assumed the name of Zhongshan Lang and infiltrated the capital of the Crystal Kingdom! There will be a period later! ”

The sound stopped suddenly.

Torret continued to listen intently, but only the bleak whistling of the fierce wind and snow as it swept across the deep canyon.

Make sure that there is no one, everyone comes out from behind the boulder, and the rock giant and the snow giant are long gone, and the blizzard swept by the wind is like a wall of snow separating people from each other, no one can see anyone, and the sky and the earth become a whole.

Everyone knew that in this kind of weather, they had to return, otherwise they could only be flooded by heavy snow.

Both Tolie and the crown prince, including their entourage, were worried......

The snow was falling heavier and heavier, and it was the first time in his life that Torret had seen such a large amount of snow that even the old hunters who accompanied him said they had never seen it. The snow was falling too thickly, and the snow wolf dogs had been running around for a long time, and they were all tired and out of breath.

By this time, everyone had been running for a long time, but they had not yet returned to the camp, and everyone realized that they had lost their way. The snow had long since obscured the road and the smell of the road, and the surrounding area was just white.

"I, we're not all going to freeze to death here!" Thorn was visibly panicked.

"Don't worry, Brother Wang, we will definitely be able to go back!" Tory hurriedly comforted. An old hunter suggested taking refuge in a nearby hill, and Torre agreed to the old hunter's suggestion, while Toran was more worried about whether he would be able to go back.

Everyone had to take refuge in a low, leeward cliff, and night soon came, but fortunately Torret had a crystal with him, and through the light from this crystal, several of his attendants gathered bundles of firewood from the edge of the cliff. The pyre was soon lit, and everyone ate some of the dry food they had brought with them, and then everyone took turns to be on guard and take turns resting on the sleigh. Although Torret and Tuo'an are princes, they do not look delicate. Tuo An led his entourage in the first half of the night and Tuo Lie in the second half of the night, while Meng Sa and Meng Ying decided to guard the team all night. The people lying on the sleigh were already exhausted and soon fell into a deep sleep.

In the middle of the night, Torreen woke up unconsciously, and Toran had already leaned on his side and fell asleep, the crystals beside him emitting a faint light. The snow has stopped, and the sky is full of stars. Tuo Lie put the blanket on his body, which was still asleep, and then got up to look around. In the distance, Meng Sa and Meng Ying walked back and forth around the camping area, and Tuo Lie admired the loyalty and seriousness of the two brothers, and decided to go over to patrol in their place so that they could also rest.

As soon as Torret touched the bag of liquor in his bosom, he walked over and handed it to the brothers, but neither of them took it. The two looked at each other for a moment, and the eldest Meng Sa said, "Thank you, Your Royal Highness, we don't drink!" ”

"You don't have to be polite, two brothers, listen to you and know that you are from the Crystal Country!"

"The prince is wise! Our two brothers are indeed from the Crystal Country, only because of the decline of the family, so they came to the North Li Country to make a living, the prince has a discerning eye, so we can come to the prince's side to serve the left and right! Meng Sa replied extremely calmly. These reasons have already been thought of by the two brothers to cope with the interrogation.

"I've been to the Crystal Country, and I've been there for three years!"

"Where has the prince been in the Crystal Country?"

"Qinglongyuan, it should be the capital now! And Crystal City,...... Also, there is Xijia Village! ”

"Xijia Village! Your Royal Highness the Prince, why did you go to Xijia Village? ”

"Hehe, it's a long story!" So, Tuo Lie told his experience of going to Xijia Village incognito to treat the national teacher.!

Hearing Tuo Lie's introduction, Shi Cheng and Shi Jie couldn't help but admire the two brothers, Tuo Lie and Tuo'an, compared with the intrigue within the Crystal Country, the Beili Kingdom can indeed unite as one, and a prince is so concerned about the national teacher.

"Come, drink! The Crystal Kingdom pays attention to brotherly righteousness, and now I am not a prince, but your brother! I'm younger than you, so in private, you still call me my brother-in-law! ”

"Ah, Prince, you mean that you are going to bow down to us!"

"That's right, I've been in the Crystal Country for three years, of course I know the rules of your Crystal Country!"

"This prince is too down-to-earth!" , Shi Cheng thought in his heart.

"You even know the word Jianghu!" , Shi Jie said directly in surprise.

"Yes, I've always wanted to worship a few brothers of the opposite sex, but unfortunately in the crystal country, I was busy treating the national teacher, and I didn't want to pay attention to the heroes around me, but I didn't expect to meet it in Beili, this is what you call fate!"

Although Shi Cheng and Shi Jie came to go deep into the tiger's den to find out the news, they didn't expect to meet an "alternative" prince like Tuolie, and the two had to admit that they really liked this prince very much, and thought that they could better find out the news, so the two agreed to worship this prince in private.

So while the others were asleep and the moon was bright and the stars were scarce, the three of them married Jin Lan in accordance with the rules of the rivers and lakes of the Crystal Country. - The three of them cut their fingers with knives, dripped blood into Tolie's sac, and then took turns to drink the wine, and finally worship heaven and earth, always help each other, and never betray!

Shi Cheng and Shi Jie both believed that the national strength of the Beili Kingdom had declined, and it would be the general trend to make friends with the Crystal Kingdom, especially Tuolie and Tuo'an, the most likely heirs of the Beili Kingdom, had no ambitions to expand, however, what they didn't expect was that a more powerful dark force would affect the Beili Kingdom, of course, this is a later story.

It was a clear day. There was a lot of snow all around, and everyone had to squint their eyes to prevent the light reflected from the strong snow from stinging their eyes. Soon, everyone swept the snow and ice off the sled, and the snow wolf dogs also stretched their waists, chased each other, and regained their vitality. Torree climbed to the top of the cliff to check the surrounding terrain, and soon noticed the tall and majestic Ice Tiger Mountain in the north, it turned out that they did not go south last night, in the direction of the North Royal Court, but kept going west along the southern edge of Ice Tiger Mountain, farther and farther away from their camp. Tuolie quickly descended the cliff and found the crown prince Tuo'an to discuss, and the two of them jointly decided to return to the Northern Court first.

The snow was too thick, and the speed of the sled team slowed down greatly, and Tuo An led Meng Ying and Meng Sa at the front, and Tuo Lie behind the palace. After a night's rest, everyone's spirits have recovered, and they all hope to go back as soon as possible.

As the sledding team gets closer to the herders' makeshift camp under Tolie's command, Torrei is curious to know how the herders are doing, as the sudden snowfall will certainly make life even more difficult for them.

Soon they were at the river on the edge of the camp, and they only had to go up a hill to see the camp!

"Stop! All on alert! The prince, who was at the forefront, suddenly gave the order to stop advancing. Meng Sa and Meng Ying, who followed, immediately put on their bows and arrows, jumped to the left and right sides of the prince, and guarded the prince. Although Prince Tuo'an is young, he has been leading troops for many years, and his prediction of danger is better than ordinary people.

Tuo Lie, the queen of the palace, quickly led people to climb to the top of the hill he was familiar with to check the camp he managed, but what he saw surprised him! I saw that the camp was in a mess, and the smoke was billowing out!

"The camp is under attack!" Torrie was furious, drew his sword and wanted to rush over, but several hunters behind him quickly grabbed him and persuaded: "The enemy situation is unknown, the prince should let us check it out first!" ”

"No, the enemy must have left." The prince soon climbed up, looked at the camp in the distance, and said, "Father's camp and army are not far to the north, and the enemies dare not stay, it is likely that they are from the nearby tribes, and it is freezing cold, they are just grabbing some food." ”

Tuolie thought that the national teacher was also in the camp, so he hurriedly rushed to the camp, and after some inspection, only a few people in the camp were injured, and the national teacher was only a little frightened. As the prince expected, it was indeed the nearby tribal savages who were not under the jurisdiction of the Northern Li Kingdom and attacked the camp and stole dozens of sheep.

But to Tuolie's anger, the yellow crystal that Yuzuki gave him was also snatched by these wild people, which made him very angry. When he was furious and about to send troops to chase him back, a line of words carved on his desk caught his attention.

"Borrow the crystal of the sunset moon and use it, and return it in the Ice Wolf Cave on the night of the blood moon!"

"Xiyue, this person actually knows Xiyue!" At the sight of these lines, Torret almost cried out with joy! The anger was washed away like icy water, without a trace; The mood is immediately good, like the May acacia flowers like spring, and the whole body is full of fresh air.

"Could it be Yuzuki's relatives? Or is it just acquaintance? ......", Torree immediately realized that the tribe might have some connection to Xijia Village.

"The night of the blood moon, it seems that it should only be at the time of the lunar eclipse, it seems that a wizard needs to predict the time of the next lunar eclipse!" Thinking of this, he decided to go to the prince to discuss, "It's time to meet the leaders of the nearby tribes!" Torret pondered.

He walked to the fire, and saw that the national teacher was still sleeping soundly, his expression was peaceful, and his heart felt much more steady, but he thought of his father again, "No matter what, I have to visit my father!" Torret made up his mind to see what the witch doctors were up to. When he learned that the crown prince, Meng Sa, and Meng Ying had returned to the camp, Tuolie decided to go to his father's camp to have a look, and by the way, he informed his father of the attack just now.

Soon, Torre's servant prepared the sleigh, and Torret folded the map that the moon had given him on the table, put it in his arms, and rode quickly to the king's camp......
