Chapter 249 The Predicament of the Second Prince
Tierong Snowfield, north.

Shi Longweng saw a large city surrounded by earth, with a scale of more than [-] people, it is naturally far inferior to the great city of the Dachang Dynasty, but it is not easy to have such a large city on this remote Tierong Snowfield .

The name of this city is: East Tower.

It was the predecessor of the Winter Tribe, the main city of the Dongta Tribe, and it has only been more than a year since its return.

At the gate of East Tower City, there is a lot of traffic, and there is an endless stream of vendors coming and going...

A team of more than a hundred Chixiao cavalry was escorting cattle, sheep, people, and goods to the city.

These are the "trophies" captured by the Chi Xiao Army after sweeping the villages, grasslands, and forest farms around the three major tribes when they swept south.

All the "trophies" were gathered together and handed over to the officials for counting.

Cattle and sheep, as well as some goods, are sold directly outside the city, making this place a lively market naturally.

The rest of the population and valuables were sent into the city under pressure.

Shi Longweng also used the magic power of Shunfenger to find out a lot of information in the city.

In East Tower City, there is a 5000-man heavy armored elite cavalry stationed, called the "Flying Bear Army". point.

The biggest chief official in the city, like the Dachang Dynasty, is the "Zhen Fu Shi". Below the Zhen Fu Shi, there are five "ten thousand households" with the characteristics of Daxueyuan, and dozens of assistant officials. Although the number is small, But quite capable.

In addition to the government office, there are Chongwen Academy and Xuanwu Academy in the city, which teach literature and martial arts, and use Dachang characters as the official characters, which is the first of its kind in Daxueyuan...

A large number of craftsmen gather in the city to produce ironware, woodware, lacquerware, cloth, build houses, and forge weapons...

The jurisdiction of East Tower City is not a city, and there are more scattered villages, official pastures, and farms around it.

War horses, cattle and sheep are grazed on the ranch, cold-resistant crops are planted on the farm, there are logging camps in the forest, mining farms in the mountains, and near the east coast, there are boat yards, salt farms, and a large number of fishermen who go to sea...

On this big snowfield, the living habits of the Iron Rong barbarians are quite different from before.

Various lifestyles such as hunting, fishing, gathering, grazing, and farming coexist.

The new system, order and law, customs and customs brought by the Winter Tribe are deeply affecting all the Iron Rong people.

And, let the overall civilization of an entire barbarian tribe begin to improve, and get rid of ignorance and barbarism...

Shi Longweng was also quite interested in the scenery and scenery of the snowy area in the city, but he suppressed his curiosity and did not sneak into it to find out.

East Tower City is protected by a tyrannical formation barrier, and there is a strong atmosphere of law in it.

Even a Nascent Soul cultivator like him felt the threat and dared not sneak in rashly...

……

Winter City.

Located in the south of Binghuo Lake and north of Niutou Mountain, it is surrounded by mountains and rivers, with a vast plain in the west and a canal in the east leading directly to the sea.

Its scale is not inferior to the great city of the Dachang Dynasty, and it is shrouded in a large formation barrier.

Among them, the four seasons are like spring, and the products are abundant.

When Shi Longweng came here, he looked at this "bright pearl" in the big snowfield, and he was also full of admiration.

His two ears, divine light surged, directly inquiring about the information in the city.

This winter city has a population of nearly [-], and it can be called the number one city in the Tierong Snowfield.

Among them are [-] Flying Bear Jingqi and [-] Chixiao Jingqi, together with the protection within the formation barrier, they are solid and strong enough to deal with all changes.

The law in the city is strict, and the wishes of all living beings are strong. A phantom of a burly barbarian giant is hanging in the sky above the city.

Shi Longweng knew that this was a variant of the dragon spirit of the country, most likely the breath overflowing from the king's totem mentioned by the Tierong people.

Sudden.

"Who is it? How dare you act presumptuously here!" A yell sounded like thunder.

hum...

"..." Shi Longweng cried out in pain, his ears buzzed, he couldn't hear the sound clearly.

Shunfeng'er's supernatural power was broken, and the backlash added to his body.

He was horrified.

This person has supernatural powers, listening to information, and is extremely concealed. There has never been an accident. I didn't expect that an accident would happen in Winter City today, and the experts among them would be aware of it.

"Swipe!" A round moon disc appeared in surprise, and the bright moonlight poured directly towards Shilongweng.

Endless murderous intent directly shrouded Shi Longweng's body, and a bone-piercing chill rose from his heart.

Shi Longweng already felt the threat of death from this moon wheel.

"Whoosh!" A quaint stone mirror instantly stood in front of him.

A white beam of light shoots out, trying to block the bright moonlight back.

however.

The bright and clear moonlight rolled, like a huge wave, directly swept the beam of light back, and slammed it on the simple and simple stone mirror.

"Bang!" A loud noise.

The trapping mirror flew upside down and directly hit Shi Longweng's chest, knocking him into the air.

Fortunately, this hollow mirror is Stone Dragon Weng's talisman, when it comes into contact with it, it automatically restrains all its power, so that it didn't break Stone Dragon Weng's bones.

"brush!"

A bright moon is born on the sea, and a bright full moon rises again, with silver coins flowing in it, revealing murderous intentions...

Shi Longweng rolled up the stone mirror, fled away at a high speed, and shouted loudly: "Fellow Daoist misunderstood! I am an old friend of Master Chi Xiao, and I have absolutely no malicious intentions when I come here to visit friends..."

The voice just fell.

The splashing moonlight stopped for a while, then the moonlight rolled back, converged into one, and turned into a high-hanging full moon again, and did not pursue it again.

"Stone Dragon Man?" The moon disc dissipated, revealing a burly monk in red armor, even with a metal mask of the same texture as the armor, mysterious and powerful.

Shi Longweng breathed a sigh of relief, feeling like he was alive after a catastrophe. This cultivator was decisive in killing, his sword skills were exquisite, and he already had the combat power of half a step to transform into a god.

He wasn't sure how to save his life in the light of the opponent's sword. If he really wanted to fight to the death, he might only last for a few more rounds before he would have to drink his hatred under the opponent's sword.

Fortunately, I am not the opponent's enemy.

"Whoosh!" A flash of light flashed.

Shi Longweng flew forward, cupped his hands and said: "Poor Daoist Shi Longweng, may I ask what is the name of this fellow Taoist?"

The inspiration on this red-armored monk is specious and inconspicuous with Chi Xiao's real person, giving people a cold and ruthless feeling, and it is by no means the same person.

The red-armored monk stood with his hands behind his back, and said calmly: "I am a friend of Master Chi Xiao, fellow Taoists, you can call me Daoist Li."

Li Taoist?
Shi Longweng had never heard of this name in Dachang World, and he didn't know the specific origin of the other party.

This person's armor was the same as the two red-armored monks on the snowfield battlefield, and his strength was also unpredictable. He was good at using superior swordsmanship, and he didn't know the relationship between the three.

The two just met each other for the first time, so it's not easy for him to talk in depth and ask more questions.

Shi Longweng clasped his hands and said: "Fellow Daoist Li is very polite, Mr. Shi came here to see fellow Daoist Chi Xiao, I have something important to discuss with him, please let me know."

Daoist Li remained expressionless, and replied: "Fellow Daoist Shi came at an unfortunate time. Fellow Daoist Chixiao has recently gained some insight into his practice, and he has already found a place to retreat and cultivate, and he will not be able to leave the pass in a short time."

It's such a bad luck to retreat and cultivate?
Shi Longweng clasped his hands and asked again: "Fellow Daoist Li, I don't know when will Fellow Daoist Chixiao be able to leave the gate?"

Li Daoren replied: "The shortest is a year and a half, and the longest is three to fifty years. There is no definite number."

The time is uncertain, what should I do?
Shi Longweng couldn't help frowning slightly.

Li Daoren continued to say:
"However, fellow Daoist Chixiao has entrusted me with the full power to handle matters concerning the Winter Tribe before retreating. If fellow daoist has any important matters, you can discuss them with me directly."

"This..." Shi Longweng hesitated.

The current situation of the second prince, Pei Yu, is not very good, and he urgently needs help to intervene. Now the time for the real Chi Xiao to leave the customs has not yet been determined, which is really a headache.

This Daoist Li is able to handle the major affairs of the Winter Tribe with full authority, so he must be a person whom Chi Xiao really trusts, so it is not a bad idea to ask him for help.

But the other party is not a monk from the main world after all, and he doesn't know the basics. He leaked too many secrets from the main world and the second prince to him, and the result is unpredictable...

Li Daoren also saw the other party's hesitation, and said directly: "If Fellow Daoist Shi is not sure, you can discuss with Fellow Daoist Pei Yu before making a decision."

Shi Longweng was slightly taken aback, and said: "It turns out that Fellow Daoist Li also knows Fellow Daoist Pei Yu."

Daoren Li smiled, and said: "My friendship with Master Chi Xiao is far beyond your imagination, and I also know the ultimate purpose of your coming to Dachang World."

"Reverend Chi Xiao has an agreement with Pei Yu that he will do his best to help him win the trial of ascension to the throne. Naturally, I will also do my best to help him. You don't have to believe it, Fellow Daoist Shi."

Shi Longweng sneered, and said: "So that's the case, it seems that Shi is worrying too much."

"This is not a place to talk, you might as well follow me in for a talk." Li Daoren gestured with his hand.

Shi Longweng thanked him, and without doubting him, he and Daoren Li passed through the formation barrier and flew into Winter City...

……

Winterfell, Roundkeep.

As soon as he entered Winter City, Shi Longweng felt a little pressure from the law, which made his own magic power slow down.

In the round castle, the center of the Winter Tribe, the legal suppression became more obvious.

But he didn't panic, Taoist Li didn't have any malice towards him, this is a normal manifestation of "dragon spirit selfishness", and monks who are not within his law will be suppressed by him.

This winter tribe already has the embryonic form of a kingdom of cultivators...

The two chatted for a while, and then they got down to business.

Shi Longweng clasped his hands and said solemnly: "Since Fellow Daoist Li is in charge of the Winter Tribe and also wants to help the second prince, Shi will tell the truth."

"But it doesn't matter." Li Daoren signaled.

Shi Longweng said bluntly: "At this time, the second prince is in the southern male city of the Dachang Dynasty——Chunchi City, and intends to assist Xingkong Shenjun to break through the realm of transforming gods, and then use his hands to win this enthronement trial."

"However, the First Prince has noticed something and is trying his best to obstruct this matter, and even leaked the news to Dachang Academy."

"Both Dachang Academy and Huguo Tianlong Temple do not want to see Xingkong Shenjun successfully promoted to the realm of transformation gods, and they have formed a tacit understanding, and they are jointly dealing with the second prince and Lu Xingkong..."
