Chapter 254: Frozen City
The cold wind blew into the cave through the entrance of the passage, and the soldiers who had been stationed in the frozen city around the campfire looked over.
"My brothers are ready, it seems that they are just in time. Feng Che shook off the ice chips and hung the armor on the wall.
Ji Yuan closed the iron door and took a few breaths of hot air towards the palm of his hand, "Let's go, I can't wait." ”
"Eh, why did the two of them come back at this time? Feng Toru!
Xiao Fang sat by the campfire and looked behind him, "I thought it was Meng Xiang and His Royal Highness, why did you two come back? ”
"General Meng said let's come down to the dinner, and he and His Royal Highness said that he would stay on the outer wall for us. ”
Xiao Fang glanced at Xiang Zuo on the side, "You two are stupid, you dare to let His Royal Highness the Prince guard the wall for you." ”
"General Xiao" pulled Xiao Fang and laughed, "Since they can come back, they should naturally get the permission of His Highness." Besides, letting His Highness be alone with General Meng for a while may be able to ease the relationship. ”
"I hope ......," Xiao Fang was helpless, and glanced at the two of them, "Since you're back, let's celebrate together, hurry up and get out of the egg after eating." ”
"Hey, hey, understood. When we were full, we warmed up and left. Feng Che sneered.
"Huh?" Xiao Fang looked at them, his usual eyes seeing danger in the eyes of the two of them.
"We'll eat and leave. ”
"Shall we warm up and leave?"
Xiao Fang waved his hand, "Hurry up and get out." ”
"Don't be too restrained, this is not the capital, not to mention that today is the Spring Festival, so take a good rest. ”
"How do you feel? Meng Xiang looked at Xue Ren, whose body was trembling slightly, and asked with a smile.
"It's cold. Xue Ren felt that he exhaled a breath of hot air at this time, and in the blink of an eye, he could turn into ice chips. "I didn't feel anything before, but now it's getting colder. ”
"What, do you want to go down now?" Meng Xiang stood on the edge and kept glancing down.
"No, sooner or later you'll have to get used to it. Xue Ren was close to the fire, but even this was still difficult to warm his body. Looking down, the protective gear on his body turned out to be a layer of ice and snow.
Meng Xiang just glanced at him and didn't say anything.
"Your Royal Highness, have you ever been on the battlefield?"
"Nope. ”
"Which is more important in your heart, the king or the people? ”
"The people. ”
"And what about the army. ”
"Army?" Xue Ren pondered for a moment, "If it were me, the army wouldn't be that important. You spend tens of thousands of tons of food in the country every year, and because of this, urban areas can only be developed within the existing area. ”
"Then you mean, if His Royal Highness the prince becomes king, we will reduce our food and use this extra food to fund the people to open up the wasteland?"
"I have this plan, after all, only the support of the country's rich and strong army can be stronger. Xue Ren looked at the endless darkness in front of him, "Although I can't see what ghosts are in front of me now, I can tell you here that the future is not long before I can personally lead a large army to wipe out all the ghosts in this world." ”
"Flatten the tundra...... What a grand ideal. Meng Xiang laughed: "But if no one helps you garrison the border, no matter how rich the domestic grain and grass are, do you think that just by relying on those helpless people, you can defend the country?"
Xue Ren raised his head and looked at Meng Xiang, "I believe you can handle this." ”
"If we don't have enough food, even if we have the heart, we will be powerless. ”
"I'm not saying that we want to cut the grain and grass on the border. "Xue Ren looked at the endless darkness outside the domain" The war in the domain has lasted too long and senselessly, and if the dead are piled up, I am afraid that even the winter ghosts can be blocked at the end of the ice river. ”
"The power of the goblins is by no means something that we can stop by ourselves. Otherwise, His Majesty would not have sent you to support us. ”
Meng Xiang's face showed a sense of vicissitudes, "I have spent eighteen years on this wall, and I know better than anyone how powerful those demons are. ”
The two fell silent, and the snow fell into the fire.
"General Meng!His Royal Highness the Prince!" Feng Che and Ji Yuan rushed back, wearing protective gear full of ice chips.
"What's the matter, the banquet is over?" Meng Xiang looked at them, seeing that Feng Che seemed to have something hidden in his hand.
"It's not over yet, it's still our own task. It's up to us to do it ourselves. ”
Meng Xiang walked over and grabbed Feng Che's hand that was hiding behind him.
"What is this?"
"Little Wine ......," Feng Che replied with a winc, after all, he also knew the rules on the wall.
Meng Xiang looked at him and laughed, "Forget it, don't take it as an example." Thanks to the fact that today is the Spring Festival."
"Hey, hey, thank you for your understanding. ”
"Let's go. ”
"Why? Aren't you going to make a round? It's only been a long time. Xue Ren asked curiously
"No, I don't want to defend those boys anymore. Meng Xiang walked in front of Xue Ren, "I still have to wait to go back and drink wine and eat meat." It's just once a year."
Xue Ren laughed, said goodbye to the two soldiers behind him, and followed him to the passage.
"Put the torch back on the wall, and you don't need its help on the way back. Meng Xiang stared at the stairs under his feet and said to Xue Ren.
The iron gates opened, and the snowflakes blew into the frozen city.
Xue Ren felt that his body suddenly warmed up, and after Meng Xiang closed the iron door, he knocked off the snow layer on his body and hung the protective gear on the wall.
"It's much warmer. Xue Ren handed the protective gear to Meng Xiang, and there were some ice chips on his clothes.
"Let's go!" Meng Xiang hung up the protective gear and patted Xue Ren on the back with a hearty smile.
"What's the matter?
"I never intended to drive you away. Meng Xiang replied: "You are the prince, whether you leave or stay depends on your own decision, I just want to take you to visit the outer city." ”
"Go or stay and don't look at me, but look at the king. I, like you, am just one of his courtiers. ”
The two walked into the camp, and the soldiers were singing and dancing strange dances around them.
The 80,000 horses brought by Xue Ren were also a little restrained at first, but they were soon driven by the soldiers in the Frozen City.
"It seems that our soldiers have become a fight. ”
"No, not our soldiers. Here they are all brothers. Meng Xiang ran over with a smile: "How can there be less in the group dance competition, I'm the king of the Frozen City dance!"
"Come on, just your dance. Xiao Fang sat by the campfire and said unceremoniously.
"What's wrong with my dance?
"I'll come, I'll come!" Xiao Fang smiled respectfully at Xue Ren when he saw him.
