Shattering the Ding Realm, a spring snow swept the land, and the entire Lingdong Province was shrouded in snow, and the north wind was whistling and flying, with a puff of drifting snow slapping on the sturdy new walls of Winter Frost City.

"Tuk Tuk ......"

The sound of horses' hooves came from the snow curtain, and the people under the city raised the Ziyinhua battle flag and said loudly: "The first and second battalions of the forbidden army have arrived, requesting to settle in Winter Frost City, this is our pioneer token!"

A small gate was opened under the city and the token was taken in, and soon after, the gate slowly opened, and cavalrymen wrapped in leather robes appeared one after another in the snowy curtain, and they entered the city one after another.

Above the city, the veteran Zhou Han smoked a dry cigarette, he tilted his head and tilted the dry smoke, so that it would not be extinguished by the falling snow.

"What's the chief, this is the seventh day, and there are Imperial troops stationed in Winter Frost City every day, is there really going to be a war?" A recruit rubbed his hands, looked up at the sky, and saw that pieces of goose feathers and snow fell on his face, and he couldn't help but complain: "What the hell is this weather, it is still snowing so much, I don't know how many crops will freeze to death." ”

Zhou Han smiled slightly, the wrinkles on his face also rose and fell with the smile, and said: "I don't know if there will be a war, but the matter about the Tianji Continent has long been rumored, and now who doesn't know that there is a continent on the other side of the East China Sea, there are three strong countries on that continent, the enemy is strong and I am weak, I think the two highnesses King Xin and King Zhong must have gathered a large army to enter Winter Frost City to resist the enemy." ”

The young recruit looked excited, sat up and said, "Shi Chang, I heard that Zetian Temple is going to make our Winter Frost City the Eastern Capital, I don't know if it's true?"

"It's true. ”

"Then, if the Eastern Capital is established, we soldiers who have been guarding Winter Frost City for five years should also be able to get some benefits. ”

"What's the benefit? It's great to add an extra three or five copper coins to your monthly military salary, how many do you think you can have?" Zhou Han squinted his eyes and said: "But the eastern capital is only for the purpose of defending against the enemy, if I can choose, I would rather go back to Lanyan City to guard the treasury outside the city." ”

The recruit was stunned: "Why?"

"At least that would be a little farther away from death. The veteran continued to smoke a dry cigarette.

At this moment, a soldier's shout came from out of nowhere in the inner city: "Wei Guogong has come to inspect the garrison!"

The veteran hurriedly slapped the tobacco leaves in the smoke pot on the snow, and led a group of soldiers to stand up with cold halberds in their hands, one by one with their chests erected and standing straight.

The snow fell on their helmets and shoulders without a cover, but no one moved a single bit, the Patriotic Duke was the commander of the entire Gentian Battalion, and the supreme general who finally defeated the demons, in the minds of the imperial soldiers, this Patriotic Duke had long been a heroic existence.

"Rustling ......"

In the sound of stamping on the snow, a group of people walked in the snow curtain in the distance, and the person wearing the duke's cloak was Wei Qiu, and behind him was a group of deputy commanders and generals at the level of ten thousand commanders.

"See the Commander!"

A group of soldiers knelt on one knee one after another, since the main force of the Gentian Battalion was transferred back from the Eight Wastelands, the guard and guard of Winter Frost City were all completed by the Gentian Battalion, which was also the meaning of Feng Jixing and Tang Xiaoxi.

Wei Qiu pressed the handle of the sword on his waist and nodded to the group of soldiers: "Get up." ”

The crowd stood up.

Wei Qiu sighed hot, looked at everyone's frozen red faces, frowned, and said, "Ah Xue, tell the quartermaster department to add a close-fitting cotton coat for each of the soldiers guarding the city." ”

"Yes, Lord. Situ Xue nodded.

Situ Sen on the side raised the corners of his mouth, looked outside the city and said: "I don't know when His Royal Highness King Qin will come back, recently I have been discovering that there are ships from the Tianji Continent close to the coast, but His Royal Highness has not appeared for a long time, even King Xin, King Zhong and Lord Xi have come to Winter Frost City and have not seen him come back, I really don't know how long he has dragged it out." ”

Wei Qiu smiled slightly: "The adult naturally has his intention to stay in the Tianji Continent, General Sen doesn't need to worry, the ships of the Tianji Continent have been haunting more and more frequently recently, I think the adult should be coming back too." ”

Situ Xue frowned lightly: "It's just that they are all merchant ships, under the guise of coming to our port to trade and do business, hum...... Maybe it's just a bunch of spies. ”

Wei Qiu nodded: "If all the foreign merchant ships close to the Imperial ports are seized, we would rather spend some food to feed this group of merchants than let them send our garrison information back." ”

"In my opinion, it's better to ......"

Situ Sen made a gesture of cutting down with a knife, and said: "It's cut directly, how good it is to save some food and eat it yourself, it is still snowing at the beginning of spring this year, and the harvest is destined to not be too good, I don't know when this battle will be fought, we can't do it without food." ”

Wei Qiu smiled and shook his head: "This is not good, we have not really declared war with the Tianji Continent yet, if we kill their merchants, it will be easy to attract tongues, it is better to be steady, wait for the adults to come back from the Tianji Continent and then make a decision." ”

"So we're going to do nothing now?"

Situ Sen gritted his teeth, he was a typical main battle faction.

Bai Yin on the side also said: "Yes, you can't sit idly by, you have to have some countermeasures." ”

"I know. ”

Wei Qiu groaned and said: "Xinwang Feng Jixing said yesterday, let's send small warships to the sea to build our sea defense line, once a foreign merchant ship comes, shoot back indiscriminately, if the warning is ineffective, just bombard it with magic crystals, this is Feng Jixing's original words after drinking, what do you think?"

"His Royal Highness King Xinwang may have drunk too much...... Situ Xue smiled: "Wouldn't it give the Tianji Continent more reason to start a war with one cannon, besides, our weapons, warships, grain and grass are not fully ready, if we start a war in a hurry, I am afraid it will be very disadvantageous to us, after all, there are thousands of dragon knights on the Tianji Continent alone, and if more than a thousand dragon knights attack in the air, we will not be able to resist at all." ”

"Yes, we still need time. ”

Wei Qiu looked at the snow curtain in the east with clear eyes, and said: "Especially the warships, the building ships that the imperial capital has just cast are still on the Daojiang River and have not yet come, and we will have to wait for at least another month to start a war, otherwise we will definitely usher in a fiasco, in addition, ......"

He looked up at the sky and sighed: "This heavy snow is too vicious, fighting in the snow is not good at our imperial army, especially the magic crystal cannon, the ignition device of the energy crystal is easy to be affected by the snow and fails, every time His Royal Highness King Qin uses the magic crystal cannon, it must be sunny weather, and in this weather, try to avoid a battle." ”

"Well, it seems to be true. Situ Sen nodded, stretched out his hand to pat Wei Qiu's shoulder, and said, "How are you cultivating the ghost and god personality that the lord gave you before leaving?"

"It's a little bit done. Wei Qiu smiled slightly.

"Come, show us. ”

"Hmm. ”

Wei Qiu walked to the battlement, avoiding the sight of a group of soldiers, and suddenly opened his palm, and suddenly a light purple light rose from the palm of his palm, full of majestic ghost and god power, this is the power he drew from the ghost and god grid, at the beginning, Lin Muyu used the refining weapon Baoding to help him refine the ghost and god personality, but now Wei Qiu has cultivated this wisp of ghost and god power to ten times the original strength!

"Good ......"

Situ Sen was speechless: "You can't cultivate this way...... It's already in the Saint King Realm, right?"

"Hmm. ”

Wei Qiu nodded: "After refining the power of ghosts and gods, my cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds, and now it is the peak of the Saint King Realm, and Lord Qu Chu also teaches me from time to time, so coupled with the fact that Lord Xi uses the ghost book of Youquan to help me guide and refine my divine power, I should be able to step into the divine realm within half a year." ”

Situ Sen took a deep breath: "It's just my own, why don't you see them pointing me out......"

Wei Qiu smiled: "Lord Xi said, she wants to instruct you, but you are cultivating the same star trick as adults, and she doesn't know anything, so let's wait for adults to come back." ”

"Well, that's all there is to it. ”

At this moment, I saw a shadowy shadow coming over from the east of the city, it was a person wearing a dark blue cloak, Winter Frost City had long been under martial law, and the people were forbidden to enter and leave during the beginning of the imperial army, whether it was a merchant or a pedestrian, it was forbidden to enter Winter Frost City, and the appearance of this person could not help but make the soldiers in the city a little surprised.

"Who?"

Zhou Han, the veteran soldier, clasped his hands and said loudly to the people who came from afar.

The visitor did not speak, but continued to approach the city gate.

"Archer!"

Zhou Han said loudly: "Winter Frost City has been under martial law, no one is allowed to enter before April, you should get out of here quickly, if you don't speak again, we will shoot arrows!"

The people who came walked in the snow, staggering.

After slowly stopping, he lifted the fluffy cloak on his head, revealing a delicate and handsome face, looked up at the people on the city wall, and said with a smile: "Are there any people in the Gentian camp who don't know me?"

Zhou Han trembled: "Qin ...... His Royal Highness the King of Qin ......"

"What?!"

Wei Qiu, Situ Sen, Situ Xue, and Bai Yin ran to the edge of the pheasant together, and looked down, who could the person standing in the snow be if it wasn't Lin Muyu?

"It's really an adult who is back, hahaha, an adult is back!"

Several people rushed down from the city wall almost unanimously, originally the four of them walked side by side, but when they got close to Lin Muyu, the three men stopped in unison and knelt on one knee: "See Your Highness!"

Only Situ Xue threw herself into Lin Muyu's arms, buried her face in his frosty neck, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, you are finally back!"

Lin Muyu was a little embarrassed: "Ah Xue, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Situ Xue stepped back with a red face, knelt down beside her brother on one knee, and said, "Situ Xue see His Highness!"

"Get up, don't be polite!"

Lin Muyu raised his eyebrows and said, "I heard that Brother Feng, Ah Yan and Xiaoxi are all in Winter Frost City?"

"Hmm. ”

Wei Qiu nodded: "The empire decided to set the eastern capital in Winter Frost City, so everyone came. ”

"Great, take me to meet them. ”

"Yes!"
