The city was once a town where crime was rampant, with human trafficking, extortion, kidnapping, gambling and assassination...... Supporting all these dark acts is a vast network of information and intelligence.

Therefore, as the lord of Snow Castle, the king has not only the force of Snowy City, but also its terrifying intelligence ability.

The king roughly understood the strength of the imperial court, and the strength of the northern army was indeed not to be underestimated, according to the king, even at its peak, the force of Xuelu City could only fight against the imperial court for a month at most.

Slowly weaken the military from within the imperial court? This is possible, but it takes a lot of time, and the experience of the ancients tells us that if you do something, the more time you use, the more variable it will be, and the more unpredictable the outcome will be, and this is too petty.

Therefore, the king did not choose to start from within the imperial court, if there was no power in the entire northern kingdom that could compete with the imperial court, then he would go outside the northern kingdom to find it.

The eastern kingdom is now ruled by the wisest of kings, who will never go to war.

Nanguo has been inseparable from the world since ancient times, and it is difficult to change its traditions.

The west is a good choice, the land area of the west is very large, but there is not much land suitable for human survival, the west is desert, lack of water and green plants, the oasis area that can be used for living is simply not enough to meet the population of the west, the west should always be thinking about invading other countries, but unfortunately the strength of the west itself is not strong, otherwise the north next to it would have been poisoned.

Under the pretext of doing business, coupled with the seal of the northern kingdom of Snow Castle, the king took Quiton and Feather Cliff to the western border very easily.

It took three days to arrive at Cuizhou, the capital of the western country and the star of the desert.

Once the West was very rich, it gathered the most skilled craftsmen in the whole world, Cuizhou was originally just an ordinary oasis in the desert in the north of the West Country, once it was just because of a joke of the West Emperor, the people of the West Country made this small oasis into a famous desert star, which is a symbol of the West people's struggle against nature, and it is also their pride.

But that was nearly 100 years ago.

Now the western country has gradually fallen into a situation of poverty, and the fact that the desert resources are scarce has been oppressing them.

The carriage arrived in the imperial city.

"We are the envoys of the northern kingdom, and we have come to discuss with the Western Emperor about the exchange of trade."

Quidon handed over the papers, which had the seal of Snowfall on them.

"You wait here, I'll inform Your Majesty." The herald soldier couldn't read this document, and he was going to inform the Western Emperor first.

"Well, we'll wait." Quitton said.

Wang and Feather Cliff stood behind Quedon, who were now Quedon's squires.

After a long time, the herald soldier finally came out.

"Go in, Your Majesty said he would like to see you."

"Okay." Quitton answered.

The soldier led the three of them to walk a long way, I have to say that this Cuizhou Imperial City is really quite big, this way around the left and right, all kinds of luxurious ornamental buildings can be seen everywhere.

Finally, we reached the final level, and when we entered again, we could see the palace.

"After this is here, these two will not be able to go any further, and you will have to go in with me alone." The herald said to Quitton.

"Well, you two are waiting for me right here."

"Yes." The king and the feather cliff should arrive.

Quitton then walked in with the herald soldiers.

There were two guards standing guard at this pass, and Wang and Yuya were standing in front of this pass.

"I'd like to ask where the hut is?" Suddenly, Yu Ya clutched her stomach and looked embarrassed.

“……”

The two guards looked at each other and were speechless for a moment.

"Let's send one of you to give him a trip, after all, we are distant visitors, and we are not very familiar with this place, and you don't want us to leave your sight." Wang said lightly.

“…… Okay, you come with me. A guard beckoned to Feather Cliff.

"Well, thank you." Yu Ya sneered.

The king remained where he was, doing nothing but standing with his hands folded, occasionally squinting at the passing patrol soldiers.

Feather Cliff didn't have long to leave, and soon Cordon returned, and the herald soldiers who were with him kept talking to him.

"Your conditions are too high, why don't you people in the north even accept fifty-fifty points since they want to talk about cooperation, it's too arrogant." The herald said to Quitton.

"Hmm." Quitton just snorted.

Quitton's faint "um" made the herald soldier a little confused, why did the envoy of the northern kingdom seem to not care about the success of this cooperation?

"This has no benefit to the Western Kingdom at all, how can His Majesty accept this kind of business?" The herald said with some anxiety.

"What? Do you care? Quitton asked.

"I ...... Don't you want to work together? "The herald soldiers really hope that their country will reach a cooperation with the northern country, and they really need the resources provided by the northern country in the western country, but the quotation of the northern envoy is too high, which is not at all something that the western country can afford.

"Business is like this, accept it and do it, if you don't accept it, don't do it, there's nothing to force it for." Quitton smiled.

“……”

The herald soldier fell silent, and then he silently sent the three of them away, and did not speak again.

An inn in Cuizhou.

Quiton and Feather Cliff were each holding a piece of paper and drawing, one by one, connecting and separating each other.

Then, the two of them spliced the paper together, a total of three paths, the road they walked together, the road Kuidon walked, and the road that Feather Cliff walked, this is the structure of the Cuizhou Palace that they have explored!

"The perimeter walls of the Cuizhou Palace should be arranged in a square, so one door to another, connected by a square." The king picked up a pen and extended the place where the Feather Cliff and Quidon had marked the door vertically.

"The interval between the walls should be the same, and we have passed through eight walls today." The king drew a circle of nine circles, and these lines enclosed the three paths that Feather Cliff and Quidon had drawn.

"Every nine hundred seconds or so, a group of patrol soldiers would pass through the gate where I was waiting, and at their approximate pace, the patrol should be in this line."

Wang marked a route in the map, which he had calculated as the route of the patrol.

Talking about cooperation with the Western Emperor is naturally fake, their purpose is just to figure out the structure of the palace, it is not difficult to meet the Western Emperor, but it is really difficult to meet him in a private capacity.

The king likes to do anything himself, he won't do anything he is not sure of unless he is forced to do it, he doesn't like to leave his fate in the hands of others, he wants to talk to the Western Emperor in person, but not as an envoy from the north, so he asked Quedon to be a cover.

Tonight, he is going to meet this Western Emperor in a private capacity.
