Lu Zhenying was disgusted when he saw this Fengtu's virtue of openly asking for bribes, and he also had a trace of dissatisfaction with Dong Caiying: "What a heroic figure this Eastern General is, now he is in a high position, and he has become like this. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Who knew that this Fengtu said: "The city lord regards money as a treasure, but it is worthless to me." I was ordered by the emperor to come here to inspect the defense and see if there were any spies. I have repeatedly visited the city, and the city lord has pushed back and tried to buy me, is there something unpleasant?"

Dong Caiying suddenly changed color and reprimanded: "Lord Qincha, if you have real evidence, even if you go to the emperor, in vain to speak disrespectfully here and slander yourself, what is your intention?"

Feng Tu sneered and said: "I have heard about it, I heard that there is a small snake city around your Xuangu City, Dong Caiying, you can tell me, can you do this?"

Dong Caiying didn't hesitate for a moment, shook his head and said: "What is the big snake city, the little snake city? My hometown snake city has been attacked by ten thousand ghosts, this Xuangu City is my current home, whether it is called snake city or not, it is no different to me." ”

Pan Xuan saw that he was extremely calm and responded fluently, but he knew that there was something strange, and Dong Cai Yingding was wary of this Qin mission asking about the "Little Snake City", so he had already had a draft. But what is the little snake city?

Feng Tu glared at Dong Caiying, but he didn't dare to make a fuss, and after staying for a while, his face softened, and said: "The position of Weichen is forced, and the previous few words are heavy, but in fact, it is not disrespectful to the duke, the emperor also attaches great importance to the duke, I hope the duke will not be surprised." ”

Dong Caiying said with a smile: "I'm a big man, how can I take it to heart? ”

Bongtu put on a hat again, covered himself with a scarf, and withdrew.

As soon as Pan Xuan waited for him to leave, he hurriedly asked, "General, what are you really messing up with Little Snake City?"

Dong Caiying looked embarrassed, thought about it, and didn't want to hide it from him, and said, "You two come with me." ”

He dressed neatly, led Pan Xuan and Lu Zhenying out of the city alone, walked twenty miles to the depths of the southeast valley, bypassed many dangers, only to see that behind the cliff, there was a walled city, surrounded by a wooden wall, about ten acres wide, there were houses in the walled city, groups of residents, blocks of fertile fields, deep wells. Most of the people who live there are half-human and half-demon, with very different appearances, and they speak the local dialect of snakes.

Pan and Lu were taken aback and asked, "Did you really build a Little Snake City?"

Dong Caiying sighed: "They escaped from Xuanbing City, and my own soldiers happened to meet them, and the heavens are pitiful, they are all the people of Shebo City in my past, how can I not care? So I built a walled city here for them to live temporarily." ”

Pan Xuan thought to himself: "No wonder General Banyuan said that the imperial court came to Qincha that day, you were so panicked that you couldn't even take revenge, and hurried back, it turned out that it was because of this matter." He said: "The cost of this walled city is only afraid of a lot of money, and the general buys and sells blades, grain and grass, and vigorously promotes commerce, is this what he does?"

Dong Caiying was very sad and said: "I don't know the price of firewood and rice, I have been the city lord for many years, and I know that the city defense needs money, the school needs money, the field needs money, and the water needs money, and it costs everywhere." I built this place, used manpower and material resources, and almost gave the palace to the pawnshop. ”

Lu Zhenying said: "The general's move is really a great act of kindness, why don't you report it to Sister Luo Fanglin? I have a close relationship with you, and when I learn of this, I will definitely send money and money to help. ”

Dong Caiying pointed to the people and said: "Look at their appearances, since the fall of the north of Xuanbing City, the demons and half-demons who originally came to the south to beg for a living have been ostracized, expelled widely, and even slaughtered. Although I strictly ordered not to bully the demon people, how can I stop it? I am myself, and there are often people who scold and oppose me, saying that I... Say I...."I was indignant for a while, and it was difficult to speak.

"Do they say you're a spy of the Northern Demon?"

Dong Caiying smiled bitterly and said: "It's almost the same thing, I don't dare to show favor to the demon people, otherwise the people will be dissatisfied, and I am afraid that one day they will turn against me." I built a city here, but in fact I hid it from the people, and few people in the city knew about it, except for a personal army. Don't hide it.... Don't hide it from you, I've been.... There have been a number of suspected works of spreading the story, among which.... There is no shortage of innocent people who are involved in it. ”

Lu Zhenying's face was unbearable, and he said: "General, you should have guarded Xuangu City and protected the safety of the people, but you shouldn't... Shouldn't be ..... Attack on your own people....."

Dong Caiying said miserably: "Yes, yes, I should have put the city defense first and the drums first, but these.... These people.... They are all my fellow countrymen, my family. If I hadn't helped them, wouldn't these thousands, tens of thousands of human lives have died miserably because of this? Wouldn't my sin be greater? My hands were stained with the blood of innocent people, and I had committed the crime of deceitful kings, and I had the booty of greed for money. I have no choice, I have to hide it, or in case Fang Lim orders them to be driven away, I... I'm really at my wit's end. ”

Lu Zhenying had received great favors from Dong Caiying and Snake Bocheng, and when she recalled it, she was also full of sympathy in her heart, and she said: "Thank you for believing in the two of us, I swear to the sky that I will never leak secrets in this life." ”

Dong Caiying said her thoughts, as if she had fallen a big stone in her heart, she felt a little happy, and said with a smile: "If you can't even believe the military advisor and Miss Lu, what does it mean for me Dong Caiying to live?"

Pan Xuan frowned and asked: "But this matter can be concealed for a while, but it can't be concealed for a lifetime, after all, there will be a day when the truth will be revealed, and at that time, what should the general do?"

Dong Caiying actually had no clue and said: "We can only ride a donkey to read the record book and see." If Fang Lin knew about it in the future, I would kowtow to her, beg hard, and persuade her to keep this place. ”

Looking at Dong Caiying, he hesitated in his heart, and after a while, he said: "The matter has come to this point, it is impossible to think, I hope that one day in the future, the general can announce this matter openly, and there will be no worries." ”

Dong Caiying came here with a coil, and he was expected to come up with an idea, but who knew that even he was at a loss, so I was afraid that no one in the world would be able to solve it. But Dong Caiying was born bold and daring, and he didn't care about it immediately.

The three of them left Little Snake Bo City, and talked about the previous Ashara sect, saying: "The Ashara sect actually originated from the thirty countries of the Northwest Snow Ridge, and now it has defected to ten thousand ghosts, and the situation has become doubly worse. The Demon Suppression Ice Wall could have isolated the heads of ten thousand ghosts and ghosts from coming here, but after passing through the path of the Thirty Kingdoms of the Snow Ridge, they seemed to be able to go back and forth here unscrupulously. ”

Dong Caiying said: "Yes, I have to tell the emperor about this, and I have to get back the thirty countries of Xueling." It's just that the terrain of these snowy mountains is treacherous, the snow fields are isolated, and it is more difficult to pass than the snake city. ”

Lu Zhenying remembered something, and his heart was mixed, and he said: "Brother Panxuan, my righteous sister Xiaoyao, you learned that she is also in the Thirty Countries of Xueling, isn't it?"

With an "ah" sound, he thought about it and said with a smile: "If you don't say it, I really forgot about it, the hexagram does say so, plus Natai Yuanqi said that he was going to one of the cold states, so we have to go to the Snow Ridge country." ”

Lu Zhenying couldn't imagine all the coincidences, and finally led her to this remote snow-capped mountain place, but her heart was excited, and she thought that this snowy mountain country had fallen into the hands of the Northern Demon, and Xiao Yaoyi's situation became more and more worrying, so she had to hurry over.

Dong Caiying also wanted to accompany them on the journey, but this Snow Ridge Country was too far away, and he had trivial matters in Xuangu City, like a shackled prison, so he couldn't get out, he thought hard for a long time, and said: "The two of you want to go to this icy and snowy, netherworld-like Western Snow Field, even if you are an immortal, you have to be prepared. He ordered someone to prepare thick hats, boots, hats, and gloves, and gave them to the two of them, and took out the precious anti-cold elixir in the palace, and ordered the two of them to accept it.

He wanted to give gold and silver again, but Pan Xuan said: "You yourself are poor jingle, why should you be so polite? We don't eat or drink, and we can't spend a lot of money on the road." The general can rest assured, once we travel west, we will definitely explore the geomorphological path of the Snow Ridge Country, draw a map, and send it to the general. ”

Dong Caiying had no choice but to give up and said sincerely: "Be careful on the way, I wish you all the best... There is no wind and no snow on that. ”

Pan Xuan took out a bag from his arms, handed it to Dong Caiying, and said in a low voice: "After three days, you can take it apart and take a look, and countless people's lives are in the thought of General Caiying." ”

Dong Caiying looked at it, couldn't help but panic, and said, "Strategist, what problem are you giving me again?"

Pan Xuan sighed: "This matter needs the help of the general, and I hope to be cautious." Dong Caiying smiled: "Okay, if the military advisor has a place to use me, I will never refuse." ”

Lu Zhenying said again: "Xiao Yao is Cao Su's master, although it is difficult to go, I have to take her with me." ”

Pan Xuan wanted to get rid of Cao Su just like that, but Lu Zhenying finally remembered it, and shouted bad luck in his heart, but he couldn't dissuade him, he just hoped that this Cao Su was greedy for comfort and didn't want to follow. Who knew that Lu Zhenying found Cao Su and said this to her, Cao Su was inexplicably excited, and said loudly: "Go, go, of course I want to go." One is to see this iceberg snowflake, and the other is to see my Xiao Yao Master who left me behind. ”

Pan Xuan said: "Don't complain when you arrive, you can't stand the wind and cold, you tremble, we have to bother to take care of you." ”

Cao Su glanced at him and said: "Don't look down on people, uncle, if I shout half a bitter word and make a shudder, I will not be surnamed Cao from now on, but will change my surname to Pan." ”

Pan Xuan complained in his heart: "I was alone with my junior sister, but with such a troublemaker, it was really a good thing." ”

The three of them were ready, Dong Caiying sent the three out of the city, and was extremely reluctant to send them more than ten miles, and then saw them leave.

Pan Xuan remembers the topographic map of the thirty countries leading to the Snow Ridge, but to the Snow Ridge, after that, there is only a summary of the wild history, there is no clear record, not to mention the detailed map, the three of them went along the West River, crossed the Eagle Gorge, the Yellow Cow Slope, the Tiger Returning Cliff, the Broken Gut Ridge, passed through the mountain villages and towns, traveled for several days, only to see the cattle and horses and vehicles on the way, and went to the Xuangu City in an endless stream, and asked casually, all of them were businessmen.

Lu Zhenying sighed: "Xuangu City is located in the middle of the world, the situation is wonderful, the wilderness is fertile, the people are outstanding, there are land and water, and there are official roads. ”

Pan Xuan suddenly shook his head and said, "No, no, this matter is very strange." ”

Lu Zhenying said angrily: "Don't make a fuss, where did I say something wrong?"

Pan Xuan said: "How dare I say that the lady is not? It's just that what the general said before was very boring, and he didn't tell the truth." ”

Lu Zhenying thought about it for a while, but he didn't think of anything wrong, and said: "I see that there are many merchants and dealers on the way, and there is an endless stream of traffic, and the city of Snake Bo has plenty of money. )
