Chapter 272: Ice and Snow City Lord

After telling the matter, Lin Mo left Qinjiang City, planning to go to the Hongxia Dynasty to investigate the situation, after all, Hong Xinyu's matter made him hate it so much, if it weren't for her, he wouldn't have killed so many innocent people for no reason.

The origin of the Hongxia Dynasty was after the Great Xia Dynasty, including the Lei Hui Dynasty and the Beiwu Dynasty, all of which were established in the later period, as for why it was established after the Great Xia Dynasty, then the matter is complicated.

The earliest controller of the Zunlong Continent was the Great Xia Dynasty, and it was also the only dynasty, when the first Xia King died, the princes of all parties could not sit still, took advantage of the chaos to revolt, and began to conquer the city, which led to the subsequent three major dynasties.

Therefore, when the second Xia Yang inherited the throne, the original luxurious life had long disappeared, and the life was so miserable, not only to bear the daily wear and tear of the entire Great Xia Dynasty, but also to be on guard against the three major dynasties at all times.

Later, this day dragged on for a long time, and the position of the Great Xia Dynasty was in a delicate situation, as long as it did not do it, it would not lead to war.

This delay is tens of thousands of years past, and a situation has been formed in which the four kings are in power, and no one dares to start a war rashly, so they can only defend their own land and look for opportunities to dominate the Dragon Continent.

By the time of Qin Zihan, the Xia King, the situation of the four dynasties became more and more difficult, with insufficient resources, scarce talents, and depression, and they could only rely on the foundation left by their ancestors to barely survive.

In the past of the dynasty, Lin Mo didn't know much, he only knew that the situation of the four dynasties was not as good as he imagined, and the overall strength had seriously declined by several levels, which led to the later cultivators staying in the cultivation of the Zun Martial Realm and the Emperor Martial Realm, and the monks who could reach the Emperor Martial Realm could not find a few in the entire Zunlong Continent.

Even the monks of the Emperor Martial Realm mostly live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, regardless of the world.

The reason is that the companion is like a tiger, maybe one day he will be trapped and killed, so these Emperor Martial Realms simply ignore these trivial matters and hide and concentrate on cultivation.

Whether it is the Great Xia Dynasty or other dynasties, the strength is almost the same, and no one dares to go to war, because there is no capable person who leads the group to appear, so it has been delayed again and again, and it has fallen into today's stalemate.

In fact, Lin Mo didn't want to get too involved in the disputes, if it weren't for his relatives and friends in the middle, he wouldn't want to be a city lord at all, let alone a prince, the feeling of being targeted was simply too uncomfortable.

Thinking about it, Lin Mo came to the jurisdiction of the Hongxia Dynasty, just to avoid causing disputes, he did not go to the royal city, but chose the middle and upper class Ice and Snow City as the foothold for this trip to cultivate.

The environment of this ice and snow city is also quite strange, there is a scene of heavy snow all along the way, as if it has not changed all year round, and the thick snow as long as you walk on it, the footprints behind you are immediately covered by the snow without a trace.

The practice of entering the city was the same as usual, and it was necessary to go through the inspection of the guards to make sure that it was not a spy sent by another dynasty to enter the city.

Watching a long dragon gradually shorten, soon it was Lin Mo's turn, he took out the pass, and those guards all showed strange expressions when they saw it.

"You, go to the side and wait. ”

Listening to the guard's words, Lin Mo walked to the side and stood with a puzzled expression, and he wondered, isn't this pass order a common token for the dynasty, how can it be difficult to use it in the Hongxia Dynasty.

After about a stick of incense, Lin Mo saw a middle-aged man wearing armor and many guards running anxiously towards the city gate.

"You're from the Great Xia Dynasty?" the middle-aged man asked.

Lin Mo blinked his eyes and hesitated for a while before nodding.

"Since you are from the Great Xia Dynasty, please come with us. As he spoke, the middle-aged man put a spirit lock on Lin Mo from the guards beside him.

Before those who entered the city could figure out the situation, Lin Mo left the city gate surrounded by a group of guards and walked into the Ice and Snow City.

"Who is this man, and how was he taken away by the guards?"

"I don't know, I guess it's a crime. ”

"It doesn't look like it, this young man is a talent, and his speech and demeanor are not like ordinary people, no matter how he says it, he will be caught......"

“......”

There was a lot of discussion in the crowd, and those guards didn't take it seriously, after all, they arrested people without saying a word, and they had no right to interfere, as long as they did what they were doing.

After following the middle-aged man into the Ice and Snow City, Lin Mo found that the lifestyle of this place was very different from that of other places, others were warm in winter and cool in summer, changing clothes, shoes and socks with the season, but this place was wearing thick cotton clothes on his body, and eating soup hot pot.

"This place is quite strange, why is the street full of hot pot smells. Lin Mo said.

The guards around him didn't say anything, the middle-aged man smiled, and said lightly: "The origin of the Ice and Snow City is because of the heavy snow all year round, unlike other places where the four seasons alternate, you can enjoy the beauty of nature......"

When he said this, the middle-aged man's smile gradually disappeared, and he turned to a serious look.

Lin Mo came here for the first time, and he didn't know the local customs and habits, but he felt a special warmth from this harmonious atmosphere, which made people feel that it was interesting, as for the moody appearance of this middle-aged man, it was not within his consideration.

After walking a long way along the streets of Ice and Snow City, I came to the magnificent hall, on which were written the words "City Lord's Hall".

"City Lord Hall?" Lin Mo was a little surprised.

There are only two city lord halls in the Great Xia Dynasty, one is the current Qinjiang City, the other is Qingyun City, and the rest of the places are all the mansions in charge of the princes, and there is no such thing as the city lord's hall.

Because the princes have official positions, they eat official food and get money, but the city lord is different, there is no official position limit, all of them are held by the head of the corps, food and clothing depend on their own efforts, and they have to pay a certain amount of taxes every year, as long as they don't go too far, the dynasty will not care about them at all.

However, the Ice and Snow City of the Hongxia Dynasty actually had a city lord's hall, which was a bit unexpected.

"Come in with me, Lord Castle is waiting for you. The middle-aged man said.

Lin Mo nodded, he didn't say anything, anyway, this was someone else's territory, if he wanted to do something, he had to think twice, so as not to destroy the harmonious relationship between the dynasties.

Although this superficial relationship is the same as that of paper paste, Lin Mo still has to deal with it carefully.

Walking into the City Lord's Hall, Lin Mo saw a middle-aged man sitting in the hall, about the same age as the one beside him.

"City Lord, this is the person from the Great Xia Dynasty. The middle-aged man said.

The middle-aged man sitting in front of the main hall waved his hand, and the middle-aged man beside Lin Mo left, and the spirit lock in his hand was also opened.

"My name is Gu Qing, and I am the city lord of Ice and Snow City, please bear with me if I am offended. ”

"The responsibility is to be understood. ”

Gu Qing stepped down from his seat and said with a smile: "Friend, looking at your temperament, you shouldn't be an ordinary person." ”

The corners of Lin Mo's mouth rose slightly, and he said lightly: "My name is Lin Mo, I have nothing else to do here, I just want to see the snow scene of Ice and Snow City, and taste the local characteristics by the way, who knows that I will be arrested as a spy as soon as I enter the city." ”

Gu Qing was stunned for a moment, but soon came to his senses, the name Lin Mo was a little familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere.

As the thoughts in his mind tossed and turned, Gu Qing suddenly remembered who this familiar name was.

"Are you Qingyun City Lord Lin Mo?" Gu Qing asked.

Lin Mo scratched his head, with an embarrassed expression, I don't know whether it's better to say it or not.

"Brother Lin, let's put aside the grievances between dynasties and open up, your name has already been heard like thunder, I have the heart to make you a friend, I don't know what to do?" Gu Qing said.

From Gu Qing's words and deeds, it is not difficult to see that he is a man with pride and ambition, and if you put aside the grievances between dynasties, he is indeed a friend worth making.

Lin Mo thought about it, Gu Qingdu was already so active, he was still the lord of a city, and he directly rejected his words, which was inevitably a little unkind, and it was easy to fall into the handle, and it was even possible to be looked down upon.

Seeing that Lin Mo didn't answer for a long time, Gu Qing didn't have any difficulties as a strongman. "Brother Lin, don't worry, I just want to be friends with you, I have nothing to do with the dynasty, if I really want to meet on the battlefield one day, I will definitely not show mercy!"

Lin Mo sighed and said helplessly: "I'm not afraid of these things, I'm worried that after our relationship is known by someone with a heart, it will put you in danger, which will make me feel guilty for a lifetime." ”

Gu Qing smiled, and didn't take Lin Mo's words to heart. "People live for a lifetime, it is not easy to meet a confidant, I have lived for most of my life, which is enough. ”

Lin Mo couldn't stand Gu Qing's soft grinding and hard bubbles, so he agreed to his request and bowed on the spot.

"To tell you the truth, before you, there were two brothers who came to Ice and Snow City, one was Xiang Zhonghuai, the generalissimo of the Lei Hui Dynasty, and the other was Ruan Wu, the prince of the Beiwu Dynasty. Gu Qing said.

Lin Mo blinked his eyes, and suddenly felt as if he had entered a den of thieves, how could these two people who were in contact with Gu Qing have a noble position in the dynasty, especially the person named Xiang Zhonghuai, who turned out to be the generalissimo of soldiers and horses, which almost scared him.

"Brother Lin, don't be so surprised, you are younger than us, your future prospects are limitless, work hard, even if you meet on the battlefield, don't be merciful, understand?" Gu Qing said.

Lin Mo frowned, how did he feel a little twisted, in private, they were brothers, but the battlefield was an enemy, and I didn't know what the use of such a strange relationship was, was it really to find a common topic, and even didn't want my life?

However, after thinking about it, Gu Qing is the lord of the city, except for King Wu, who can control his life and death, other princes do not have this right, even if they are the heirs of King Wu, they do not have this right, at most they are just playing tricks.

Thinking of this, Lin Mo felt that there was something wrong with this Gu Qing, and it was impossible to put his life on the line in order to find a close friend with a common topic.

"After talking so much, I suddenly became a little thirsty, why don't we go eat something and drink some wine?" Lin Mo said.

Since Gu Qing is not afraid of being suspected, Lin Mo is still afraid of a fart, so he has to slaughter him ruthlessly, and enjoy the food of Ice and Snow City, wouldn't it be quick.

"Okay, then go to the most famous restaurant in Ice and Snow City, where the ingredients are delicious and there are songs to listen to. ”

Gu Qing and Lin Mo left the City Lord's Hall together and walked in the direction of the restaurant.

Gu Qing said that this restaurant is called Hongen Restaurant, it is the most famous restaurant in the ice and snow city, the hot pot soup is delicious, the barbecue is fat but not greasy, as long as the people who have been there are applauded, whether it is the case or not, you have to try it yourself to know.

Walking into the restaurant, Lin Mo was shocked by the scene in front of him, where is this restaurant, it is simply a vegetable market, there are so many people that they can't vacate the ground at all, so they can only squeeze the crowd in.
