Stride towards the ice city

Previous Chapter

Sheng Ming couldn't get out, so he had to continue to call Peng Yue brother and brother, pretending to smile.

Jin Sheng ran out of the palace hall, and the soldiers had learned the lesson just now, so they didn't care about Jin Sheng, and let him run around to vent his emotions.

Jin Sheng couldn't figure out why Sheng Ming wanted to give his sword to Peng Yue for a trade? And I don't discuss it with myself.

Jin was angry not with the sword, but with Sheng Ming. He always thought that Sheng Ming cared about his thoughts and had to tell him everything. But this time, Sheng Ming didn't ask, and gave his sword to others.

The sword is a trivial matter for Jin Sheng, as long as Sheng Ming says a word, Jin Sheng can offer it with both hands, and there is no complaint. But this time, Sheng Ming completely ignored Jin Sheng's thoughts, which made Jin angry and angry.

Jin Sheng walked blindly in the palace, he just wanted to be quiet at the moment. Jin Sheng came to a rockery, and Jin Sheng, who was sitting on it, looked behind him from time to time to see if Sheng Ming was chasing after him.

At this time, Jin Sheng hoped that Sheng Ming would chase after him and apologize to him, and the two of them could be happy again.

But Jin Sheng waited for a long time, but he still didn't see Sheng Ming's shadow, Jin Sheng's stubborn temper came up again, and he secretly decided that if Sheng Ming didn't come, he wouldn't leave.

At some point, Cao Ning suddenly sat next to Jin Sheng. She didn't speak, and Jin Sheng didn't want to deal with her, so the two of them spent it like this.

After a long time, because of Cao Ning's company, Jin Sheng's anger almost disappeared. He said, "You haven't eaten for almost a day, why are you coming along?" Aren't you hungry? ”

The corners of Cao Ning's mouth rose, and she smiled slightly and said, "You too!" Aren't you hungry? ”

"But, but......" Jin Sheng didn't know what to say, so he chose to be silent.

Cao Ning opened her mouth and said, "Are you still sulking at your brother?" Do you blame him for not caring what you think? In fact, the sword is just a tool for you, and your brother's practice is very important in your heart. ”

Jin Sheng's mind was revealed, and he began to blush, with a slightly dark face and a little red.

Looking at Jin Sheng, who didn't speak, Cao Ning continued: "Actually, your brother, he cares a lot about your thoughts. He doesn't consult with you, it's because he cares more about your safety. Just now when you ran out, he couldn't leave, and he called me to comfort you. ”

Jin Sheng thought about it, and everything disappeared. He asked, "Are you hungry?" Am I hungry? ”

Cao Ning smiled and said, "A little." ”

Jin Sheng said quickly: "Then let's go eat!" I'm going to eat the old man Peng Yue poor. ”

Cao Ning burst out laughing this time, her laughter was crisp and pleasant. Hearing Jin Sheng in a daze, this was the first time Jin Sheng heard Cao Ningxiao's voice.

Cao Ning patted Jin Sheng, who was in a daze, and said, "Let's go!" Aren't you hungry? What's in a daze? ”

The two came to the hall where the dinner was being held together, and at this time, Sheng Ming and Peng Yue had three rounds of wine, and the two were chatting heartily.

Jin Sheng and Cao Ning walked in, and all of a sudden the hall was quiet, and Sheng Ming and Peng Yue both looked at Jin Sheng.

At this time, Jin Sheng opened his mouth and said, "Brother Ming, we are hungry. He arched his hand again: "City Lord Peng, I was offended a lot just now, for my brother's sake, can we sit down and eat?" ”

Peng Yue laughed: "Hahaha, the young man is very upright!" I like it, so take a seat and have a few drinks with us. ”

Sheng Ming couldn't help but look at Cao Ning more, and he felt more and more that this girl was not simple.

Jin Sheng was really hungry, and as soon as he sat down, he began to gobble up. The three of them looked at Jin Sheng's eating appearance and all smiled in unison.

At night, Cao Ning lived in a separate room, and Jin Sheng and Sheng Ming lived in a room. Although Sheng Ming drank a lot of wine, he was still very sober. He said: "Shi Hongyu, yes, yes. ”

Before he finished speaking, Jin Sheng said: "Brother Ming, don't say it." I understand, Cao Ning told me. ”

Sheng Ming smiled bitterly and said, "Then you rest early." After speaking, with the strength of the wine, Sheng Ming fell asleep.

The three of them stayed in the Pengcheng palace for three days. After discussion, the three of them decided to avoid long nights and dreams and leave as soon as possible.

On the third day, Sheng Ming resigned to Peng Yue, and Peng Yue tried his best to stay. Sheng Ming promised that the next time he came to Pengcheng, he would continue to talk all night, and Peng Yue agreed to Sheng Ming reluctantly.

Early in the morning of the fourth day, the three of them rode horses at the north gate of Pengcheng and prepared to set off.

Peng Yue personally came to see off the three of them and said, "Brother Sheng, you and I don't know when we will be able to meet." It's also very dangerous in the ice city, so you have to be careful! ”

Sheng Ming thanked him, and the group set off. Peng Yue sent one of his generals to escort Sheng Ming and them to Ice City.

Sheng Ming wanted to refuse, but it was difficult to refuse. had no choice but to open the ice city under the protection of this general.

Pengcheng is the gateway to the ice city, as long as you pass Pengcheng. After that, it's a flat river, and you can keep running.

The group had been riding for several days, and at this time they were passing through a hunting ground with dense forests and meadows.

Suddenly, the general from Peng Cheng stopped, and Jin Sheng and the three of them also heard many horses' hooves. They were rushing towards their side, getting closer and closer, and the three of them and Peng Yue's generals were ready.

What catches your eye is a large group of hunters wrapped in silk and protected from the cold. They were hunting a prime-aged Bingzhou horned deer.

The adult horned deer in the Ice State is three meters tall, and its horns are more than one meter long. Although its meat does not taste very good, the pair of horns is a good herb and ornament.

A group of hunters, "Oh, oh...... screamed, very excited. ”

The horned deer had already been hit by a sword in his right hind leg, and he was limping at this time. The hunters were reluctant to kill him for fear that his fine antlers would break.

Two fast horses rushed out of the group of hunters, one with a long knife and the other with a rope.

The man with the long knife rushed forward first. I saw that with a wave of his long knife, the head of the horned deer was cut off by the neck. The man who followed behind him caught the head of the horned deer with a wave of the rope.

Probably not in anticipation, as soon as he withdrew his hand, the head of the horned deer fell to the ground. The horns of the horned deer were broken into several knots at once, and he quickly knelt on the ground and kept shouting: "Lord Wang, spare your life!" ”。

An arrow suddenly shot from among the hunters, piercing his head at once. When the man with the long knife saw this, he quickly whipped up and prepared to run.

Another arrow was fired, piercing the chest of the man with the long knife.

Jin Sheng and the three of them looked at this scene, and they were all indignant.

The hunters also saw Jin Sheng's group, and they walked towards Jin Sheng's group.

Among the hunters came a man wearing a white tiger skin and a white jade plaque around his waist. He looked imposing, like a prince and nobleman.

When the general from Peng Chenglai saw the jade plate, he quickly knelt down and said, "The little one has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, please atone for your sins." ”

The soldiers also knelt down one after another, only Jin Sheng, Sheng Ming and Cao Ning were still standing. A man came up next to the prince, holding a whip and preparing to whip three people.

He said, "The prince is here, why don't you kneel down quickly." After speaking, the whip was drawn to Sheng Ming, and Sheng Ming was whipped on his back fiercely, but he didn't move.

This whip was much lighter than the mutual abuse in the hinterland of the mountainside back then, and Sheng Ming, who was refining his body, felt like an itch.

The man whipped a few more whips, but Sheng Ming still didn't move, he endured it, not wanting to have a seizure. Jin Sheng was angry, and he was about to rush up, but was stopped by Cao Ning.

The prince in a white tiger skin walked up and said, "Stop. He glanced at Sheng Ming and the three of them and said, "Let's go." And the group galloped away.

After another ten days, we finally arrived near the ice city. At this time, the general who came from Pengcheng said: "Sheng Shaoxia, I will send it here at most." Going forward, I'm afraid of getting involved with General Peng. ”

Sheng Ming said: "Thank you for the general's escort all the way. ”

After the general from Peng Cheng left, the three of them rode towards the ice city. They found that the ice city was unusually cold, and they couldn't help but shiver.

The outline of the ice city gradually appeared in front of the three of them, and the closer the three of them got closer, the more shocked they became. The ice city, which covers an area of thousands of miles, looks like a wild beast at a glance, and the momentum is compelling.

The three of them came to a side gate to the south, and they couldn't see the end of the city wall from the left and right. When I looked up, a side gate was 100 zhang high and dozens of zhang wide.

The three of them rode their horses and prepared to enter, when a group of soldiers surrounded them. Sheng Ming hurriedly came down and said, "Heroes, I don't know what the so-called thing is? ”

One of the soldiers said, "Don't you know that the Ice Emperor is not allowed to ride a horse at his feet!" ”

Sheng Ming motioned for the two of them to dismount, and said, "I'm sorry, lords." We are new to the city and don't know the rules, so please Haihan. ”

Then the leader of the soldiers came and said, "The horses have been confiscated, go in!" Remember, be careful next time. ”

The soldiers took the horses of the three men away, and the three of them walked towards the city.

Coming to the city, the bustling ice city deeply shocked Jin Sheng. There are people coming and going here, and there are all kinds of things, many of which Jin Sheng has never seen.

Jin Sheng watched the passers-by, and the novelty was not forgotten. Dragged away by Sheng Ming, the three of them came to a restaurant and began to discuss countermeasures.

Jin Sheng didn't have so many things on his mind, and as soon as he entered, he ordered a lot of dishes, and he was eager to try.

Cao Ning opened his mouth and said, "We might as well take a rest today." Tomorrow, we will go to General Leng Split Cloud and ask him to speak to the Ice Emperor on our behalf, so that we can have a chance to be recommended. ”

Sheng Ming said: "I think the Ice Emperor is not so easy to see, Cao Nanlei's people I think they should have arrived in the Ice City." Their reversal of right and wrong will cause us a lot of trouble. ”

Cao Ning looked thoughtful, and Jin Sheng saw Cao Ning for the first time as if he couldn't answer the question. He said, "Don't think about it, eat first, and then think when you're full." ”

Sheng Ming ignored Jin Sheng, Cao Ning glanced at Jin Sheng, Jin Sheng lowered his head in interest and ate with his head bored.

Sheng Ming said: "We should respond to all changes with the same now, I will go to inquire about the news in the past two days to see what the situation is, and make a decision." ”

Cao Ning nodded.

Sheng Ming said: "Don't think about it, it's almost a while, let's eat first!" After saying that, Sheng Ming also began to gobble up.

Cao Ning looked at Sheng Ming and smiled, and began to move his chopsticks.
