Chapter 70: Silence

A month later, the 200,000 troops of the Yuliang Kingdom quietly lurked at the foot of the snow-capped mountain.

In the council hall, the four directors were discussing matters.

"This is the income situation of our country in the past year, you can take a look." Zhong Lichen took out a thick account book and handed it to everyone.

Zhong Liri took the account book, roughly flipped through it and handed it to Zhong Liyue, "You better tell us, it's too late to read such a thick account book." ”

"Well, since the reform of the Holy Maiden, the income from the grain reported by the villages has nearly doubled, and the reserves of the state treasury have also doubled. The military has a reserve of 100,000 soldiers and horses, and through these days of training and forging weapons, the strength of the army has tripled. It's just that the saint said that we need to breed war horses, so that we need to increase trade with other countries. Through the initial trial in the past year, the people have been very receptive to foreign things, and their lives have been improved in all aspects. But before, it was all some private business, and the cultivation of war horses required state trade with Sang Ning, and now we need someone to represent the snow country to make representations. ”

Zhong Lichen stopped when he said this, what he said was too informative, and he needed to give the other leaders some time to digest it.

"I've never been involved in diplomacy in Snow Country, so it's really hard to find a candidate." Zhong Liyue touched her gray beard and said.

"yes, do you have to ask us old men to come out?" Zhong Lixing asked tentatively.

"Originally, the Holy Maiden could have gone on this mission, but now, you see, the bishop will not allow her to go out." Zhong Lichen said solemnly, "The top priority now is to find this suitable candidate. ”

"It's really not good, just let me go out of the old man, and leave it to others, I don't feel at ease." Zhong Lixing is really used to worrying.

"What do you think?" Zhong Lichen was actually relieved to let Zhong Lixing go, after all, he was a relatively smooth person, and he still had a set of ways to figure out people's hearts and deal with emergencies.

"I have no opinion."

"Me too."

Neither Zhong Liri nor Zhong Liyue thought of a better candidate.

"Okay, then it's decided, let's pick a day and leave as soon as possible." Zhong Lichen now raised his hands in favor of Xiao Xiyue's suggestion, so he was looking forward to the arrival of this batch of stallions.

That night, Zhongli Xing watched the celestial phenomena. Two days later, he packed up and set off southwest.

After ten days of walking, Zhong Lixing felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. Bordered by plains to the south and canyons to the southwest, this snowy country was once frequented by bandits, but now it is unusually quiet.

I hope this is just my own delusion, Zhong Lixing silently thought in his heart, wouldn't it be a good thing that he didn't meet the mountain bandits.

Huh'~~ Zhongli Xing stopped his horse and walked slowly. Suddenly, he noticed that there was a burning firewood in the grass in the distance, and there were stacks of firewood every now and then. In this case, it is impossible to be a small team, judging by the number of firewood, there are a lot of people.

Zhong Lixing's heart tightened, and an ominous premonition rushed into his mind. He immediately turned his horse's head and headed for the snowy country.

Zhong Lixing's intuition was right, the team led by Yunli had arrived not far from the Snow Country half a month ago. They're waiting for their time.

However, what Zhong Lixing never expected was that he was heading towards the Snow Country with a huge team.

Yun Li led a team of fifty people to quietly follow Zhong Lixing, and when Zhong Lixing entered the cloud mist, he suddenly killed. Yun Li was already extraordinary, and there were fifty selected killers, but when Zhong Lijing found out that he was being attacked, he only had a second's reaction, his body was in a different place, and blood-red blood was scattered all over the ground.

Within a quarter of an hour, a large number of teams of 10,000 people poured towards the snow-capped mountains.
