Snow City, as the name suggests, is a castle built on a vast snowy plain. Human beings are intelligent beings who follow interests and live in groups, and the reason why they build castles on the snow field is because there is a large gold mine more than 100 kilometers east of Snow Plains City, and if you rank all the gold mines on the entire continent, the gold mines in Snow Plains City are definitely ranked among the top ten.

Although the living conditions in the snow field are harsh, every summer, after the snow melts, some people in Snow Plains City will always temporarily put down their work and step into the high mountains, risking the danger to find the snow lotus. Snow lotus is a very expensive herb, and an ordinary family only needs to pick one flower to ensure a year of worry-free food and clothing.

Snow lotus flowers are rare, and not everyone can get their wish, but every year a few people will pick a few or even a dozen snow lotus, although the vast majority of people go home empty-handed, but the luck of a few will bring hope to the civilians of the city, and they look forward to getting the same luck in the coming year.

Where there is sunshine, there will be shadows, and in the same way, where there are commoners, there will be nobles. The lord of Snow Plains City is an earl named Jia Tianxiang, and from the bright side, it seems aggrieved to arrange an earl in such a place, but in fact it is not the case.

Financially, the gold produced by the gold mine only needs to be handed over to 50% of the central government of Ji Zhou, and the rest is owned by Count Jia Tianxiang, which is an amazing wealth! For twenty years, Count Jia Tianxiang has kept a low profile in Snow Plains City, but his family industry has spread to every corner of Ji Zhou Kingdom! No matter what the era, starting from scratch is the hardest, and rolling money with money is much easier.

Militarily, Count Jia Tianxiang was favored by King Ji Ruofa, who not only allowed him to recruit private soldiers of less than 2,000, but also gave him the command of 3,000 hoplites and 1,000 light cavalry guarding the gold mines. Coupled with the army, patrols, and garrisons guarding Snow Plains City, Jia Tianxiang, a small earl, actually commanded an army of 10,000 people, which is really a great honor! You must know that the regular army of the entire Ji Zhou Kingdom does not exceed 300,000 people, including 50,000 Janissaries directly under the royal family, and the Ji Zhou Kingdom has five dukes and more than 20 marquises. Of course, if it weren't for the constitution that the first king of Ji Zhou Kingdom left a constitution that no marquis could be made without military merits, with Jia Tianxiang's relationship with the royal family, he would have become a marquis long ago.

Jia Tianxiang has been deliberately keeping a low profile, so although his city lord's mansion covers a large area, the buildings are very simple, Ji Shengqing, the eldest princess of Ji Zhouguo, came to Xueyuan City at the behest of the king, and of course she wanted to live in the city lord's mansion, and the unlucky money was also carried in by the princess's guards.

In a side room in the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion, Qian Bu's eyelids fluttered a few times on the bed, and he slowly opened his eyes and looked at the surrounding scenery.

Qian Buli knew where he was, and he knew why he came to this place, in those long years of being frozen, he had communicated with that 'person' countless times, and he had already understood everything that should be understood. Unlike ordinary people, Qian is not distracted and tenacious, he knows that resentment, chagrin, and swearing are useless, on the contrary, this kind of negative emotions can only make him more and more stupid! The phrase "Come and Come, Then An" is easier said than done, but money can be done, so his expression looks calm.

There was a burst of pain in his left hand, and Qian Buli looked down, his left hand was still clutching the lockbox, and the knuckles were blue in some places and purple in others, as if they had been vigorously broken. Qian Buli thought about it and knew that it must be caused by those people who saved him and tried to take down the lockbox, and those people's motives didn't seem to be very good, if they were trying harder, their finger bones would have to be broken!

Qian Buli grinned a few times, adjusted the password with his right hand, and opened the lockbox. The lockbox is divided into two levels, with a laptop on top and a semi-automatic pistol on the bottom, as well as seven magazines, and the leather slots at the bottom of the lockbox are filled with yellow-orange bullets.

As long as Qian Buli carries a pistol, he will definitely carry two, which he learned from his grandfather. The old man Qian has been on the horse all his life, almost never been injured, the only time was in the contact with the enemy's special soldiers, the pistol accidentally jammed, although the guards came in time, but the old man Qian was also seriously injured, since then no matter where he went, the old man Qian was wearing a total of more than five kilograms of guns and bullets.

Qian Buli picked up the notebook and opened it slowly, the years of absolute shielding did not leave any traces on the notebook, and it still looked the same as new.

"You... Are you okay? "Qian Buli is thinking about the center, and there is a sentence that the center reading is a stunt that Qian Buli learned from that 'person', and it can be regarded as compensation for suffering.

"It's fine." A slightly tired voice replied. In fact, strictly speaking, that 'person' is not a person, and the demon soul of the nine-tailed silver fox hid in the notebook of money at the last moment, and barely escaped. But I don't know why, the demon soul can get in but can't get out, and the sad two years are so helpless. Fortunately, otherwise, money would never be able to survive today, and the boundless loneliness alone could make him crazy!

Qian Buli grabbed the skin on his left arm with his right hand and pinched it, very good! The skin is elastic and looks very young: "It seems that what you said didn't happen!" ”

"You bastard!" The demon soul became angry: "Do you know how much effort I spent to help you wash your muscles?!" If it weren't for me, you'd have weathered and turned into a dried corpse! ”

"That's it... Thank you! "Qian Buli said thank you in his mouth, but there was no trace of 'thanks' on his face, Young Master Ben was about to marry a wife and become a big official, and he was sent here inexplicably, who am I thanking? Let's all die!!

Qian Buli rubbed down from the bed little by little, and finally stood on the ground, maybe he hadn't walked for too long, Qian Buli felt very uncomfortable, from the foot board to the thigh was extremely sore, and his eyes were also black for a while, he couldn't help but let out a hoarse and slight moan.

"I say, you are so irresponsible! Cutting corners is not a good habit! You said you helped me wash my muscles, why is my voice so dumb? ”

"You... If I knew you said that, I wouldn't have helped you! Let you become a dry corpse! People have been using all the spiritual power they have accumulated for so long on you, what else do you want me to do?! The demon soul replied hatefully.

"People??" Qian was stunned: "By the way, let me ask you a serious matter, are you male or female?" For such a long time, every time I ask you, you don't answer, it's really strange, male is male, female is female! What is there to keep secret! ”

Be quiet....

"Oh... It's rude for me to ask, okay okay, so are you male or female? ”

Quiet....

"Are you with a handle or a hole..."

A moment before the demon spirit was about to roar, the door creaked open, and a little girl dressed in pink and jade and looked very cute pushed open the door and walked in: "Ah! Are you awake? ”

"Didn't wake up!" In that world, the ability to keep money from lifting bars and choking people was first-class, and it still is.

The little girl opened her mouth and stammered, and only replied after a while: "How can you run to the ground if you don't wake up?" ”

"Sleepwalking!"

"Sleepwalking... What does sleepwalking mean? ”

Qian Buli continued to argue, and he stared closely at the plate in the little girl's hand, which seemed to be a kind of pastry. How long has it been since you eaten? Qian Buli took a step forward and wanted to grab the pastry, but he didn't expect to take a bigger step, and his body didn't keep up, and Qian Buli suddenly fell to the ground top-heavy.

The little girl hurriedly stretched out a hand and propped it on Qian Buli's chest, don't look at her young age, her strength is not small, and she actually stopped Qian Buli's decline.

Lian Jiazi? This was Qian Buli's first reaction, but at this time, Qian Buli didn't have time to think about it, he hurriedly hugged the little girl's shoulders tightly, exerted his whole body, and first dragged his disobedient legs over to stand firm.

To be honest, Qian Buli is a righteous gentleman now, he doesn't think about it at all, and he doesn't mean anything else, but unfortunately it is not the case in the eyes of outsiders. No matter how young a little girl is, she is still a girl, not to mention a very cute girl, when Qian Buli was struggling with her legs, she only heard an angry shout: "Bold!" Then Qian Buli felt a sharp pain in his waist, and his whole body flew up involuntarily and fell heavily on the bed.

Unfortunately, Qian Buli didn't let go of the little girl, and because of the conditioned reflex, the hugging became tighter and tighter, and the result was that the two of them flew up together, and when they fell on the bed, their foreheads hit each other hard. Qian Buli is okay, there is a little beaten bottom, the little girl's forehead hair is purple, and it suddenly swells up high, and tears flow out like spring water, flowing onto Qian Buli's face.

"Bastard! Don't let go yet! The person who came made a movement and made a crisp sound of 'choking'.

"Sister Ke Lan, don't! No! The little girl was struck with a star, but she heard the sound of her sword drawn.

Qian Buli was never accustomed to putting his own safety at risk to the obstruction of others, so he pushed the little girl away with his left hand and grabbed Keerte in the lockbox with his right hand.
