Chapter 248: Territory Issues
This is the first time Xiao Yuan has come to Snow City, and as soon as he came in, he naturally began to look around, looking left and right, and nodded at the same time:
"Well, yes, it seems that back then, the ancestors of the Snow Clan spent a lot of effort to build this city."
At this time, when the children playing in the city saw Lin Chu and the others, they ran over in a swarm.
"Uncle Lin, Uncle Lin......"
The children coaxed Lin Chu in the middle, and this time when they returned to the Snow Clan, they were the elite of the Snow Clan, and they naturally had gifts in their hands.
"My lord." Lin Chu shouted in embarrassment.
Xiao Yuan looked back and said, "You should be busy with yours first." ”
"Thank you, lord!" Lin Chu was overjoyed, and began to lift the gift high, and smiled heartily at a group of children: "Don't rob it, don't rob it......"
"It seems that you are good to Lin Chu." Mu Lianying suddenly said a word, and her footsteps didn't stop.
Xiao Yuan walked side by side with her, and did not answer this question, but raised his head slightly towards the front and said, "Who are those three old men?" ”
"Three elders of the clan." Mu Lianying said.
"Just right, I'll meet them."
As he spoke, several people had already walked in front of the three elders, and Xiao Yuan took the lead and said slightly: "In Xia Xiao Yuan, I take the liberty to visit, and I hope to forgive me." ”
"Ah, it turned out to be the Duke of Qin, where is it, the distinguished guests are coming, and the Snow Clan is shining." The Great Elder said, and the three of them also bent down with their canes at the same time and bowed.
"The elder is gracious." Xiao Yuan withdrew his hand and smiled.
"Quick, Duke Qin, please." As he spoke, the third elder also stepped out of the way and stretched out his hand to make an invitation.
Not long after, under the guidance, the group has come to the main hall of Snow City, everyone is sitting on the left and right, and after a while, there are people in the Snow Clan serving hot tea.
"Please."
"Please."
Both sides stretched out their hands to each other, and the etiquette was in place, and then, they both took a sip of their teacups.
At this time, Mu Lianying, as the Holy Maiden of the Snow Clan, began to take the lead in asking, "I don't know what Duke Qin is here today, what are you doing?" ”
Xiao Yuan put down the teacup and said with a smile: "Qin's map, I don't know if you have seen it?" ”
Everyone was a little inexplicable, Mu Lianying didn't speak, but moved her beautiful eyes slightly, she was smart and seemed to know something.
The Great Elder couldn't help but ask, "Dare to ask Duke Qin what he means?" ”
Xiao Yuan said: "Snow Mountain, even Beiling and Xipingguan, these two places are all important military towns, but Snow Mountain is not in the territory of Qindi, and it is very eye-catching to rest here." ”
Hearing this, the three elders panicked all of a sudden, and someone said, "This, this, Duke Qin, we of the Snow Clan, don't ask about the world, why do you say this." ”
"Yes, the Snow Clan doesn't care about the world, but Snow City, Snow Mountain, is located here, and can be the main transportation route for Beiling and Xiping, you say, this is good for Qin, for this official." Xiao Yuan said again, he came this time, not only to find the water of Hantan, but also to solve the matter of the Snow Clan's territory, after all, this place is in Qin, this problem will have to be dealt with sooner or later.
"This, this ......" The Great Elder was anxious, not knowing what to say, and couldn't help but look at Mu Lianying with a pleading gaze.
The latter's beautiful eyes moved slightly, but he kept silent.
Xiao Yuan continued: "Therefore, the intention of this official, the Snow Mountain, must be included in the territory of Qin, and the land of Qin must also be unified. ”
"But Duke Qin, my clan lives in the mountains, and I don't want to belong to any faction." There is the way of the elders.
"Then according to what you say, Qin, can you treat the Snow Clan as a foreigner?" Xiao Yuan asked rhetorically.
"This, this, Duke Qin, we are also from Huaxia." The Great Elder said.
"Yes, if that's the case, then your clan lives in Qin Land, do you want to rip the soil?" Xiao Yuandao.
When he said this, the three elders were in a hurry: "No...... That's not what it means, it's just ......"
"Alright." Xiao Yuan interrupted him with a wave of his hand, and said calmly: "The unification of Qindi's territory, there is no doubt that no one can change it, as for Snow City, this official will not set up county control here, and I will not interfere with your clan rules, but the territory of your location must belong to Qindi, can you understand?" ”
This is a must, in this matter, Xiao Yuan is impossible to let go, and although his tone is not heavy, it is loud and unquestionable.
After hearing this, the three elders couldn't help but glance at each other, and then, Qi Qi looked at Mu Lianying.
Seeing this, the latter first lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then raised his head and said, "That's it." ”
She said a very simple sentence, but she made her position clear, because this is not a loss for the Snow Clan, on the contrary, she will always be protected by Qin.
"This ......" the three old stubborns wanted to say.
But Xiao Yuan already said again: "Well, since the holy woman speaks, this matter is decided, and there is no need to say anything more." ”
From talking about this matter to now, Xiao Yuan has not said a word heavy, but invisibly, the decision is so strong, it doesn't give them the possibility of rebuttal at all.
The majesty of his superiors has become more and more prosperous, and even Mu Lianying faintly feels a trace of pressure.
After settling the matter, Xiao Yuan went out of the hall and walked with Mu Lianying again, and asked at the same time: "I heard that there is a cold pool in the clan, I don't know if it is still there?" ”
"Why are you asking this?" Mu Lianying gave him a strange look.
"It's useful." Xiao Yuan smiled slightly.
Mu Lianying was stunned, and then said, "Okay, I'll take you there." ”
Under her leadership, Xiao Yuan and the young man who sold the sword came to a pool, where there was snow all around, but in the pool, there was no freezing.
After arriving here, Xiao Yuan looked sideways at the young man and said, "Is this what you call Hantan?" ”
"This ......" The young man observed for a moment, then squatted down by the pool, reached into the pool, held some pool water, and said, "This water is crystal clear, it looks very similar, but you need to try it." ”
"How do I try?"
"Cast your sword red."
He said to do it, Xiao Yuan also asked Mu Lianying to help, in the snow city, began to forge the sword in the furnace, and when everything was ready, the red sword body was put into the pool, accompanied by the slightest sound, the green smoke stood up.
At the same time, the young man observed the sword body and shouted excitedly, "Yes! Yes! This sword is the English of Liuhe, only this water, can quench this sword! Otherwise, the essence is lost! ”
His face flushed with excitement, and he was also excited because he saw hope: "In addition, there is this cold pool here, and the extremely cold stone must be nearby!" ”
"Oh!?" When Xiao Yuan heard this, his spirit was shocked, and he immediately looked at Mu Lianying: "Miss Mu." ”
Mu Lianying frowned slightly: "What kind of extremely cold stone, there is no one here." ”
"No way, it must be that the girl doesn't know, think about it." The young man said urgently.
"This ......" Mu Lianying pondered for a moment and said, "It's true that there is no Extreme Cold Stone you said, but...... There is a waste stone, but it is extremely hard, no matter how you smash it, you can't smash it. ”
