It is better to be an emperor than to fight in the palace

At this moment, Yuan Qifeng had no idea how bumpy his journey to the Ice Kingdom would be.

Summing up the failure experience last time, Yuan Qifeng made preparations in advance this time and did not bring Shang Han's crow's mouth with him.

But this also led to the lag in his information. Although several of Mengdong's subordinates also had Hidden Dragon Guards who were responsible for collecting information, they were not as good as Shang Han who was specifically responsible for information.

So much so, that when they entered the first city on the border of the Ice Kingdom, they didn't know that the Ice Kingdom was different from any other country they had seen before.

The reason why the Ice Kingdom is so named is precisely because the Ice Kingdom is covered by ice and snow all year round, most of the country is buried under the snow, and agriculture is very underdeveloped. However, even so, the Ice Kingdom still relies on its strong strength and unique timing. The geographical advantage has always maintained the status of a powerful country on the mainland.

No one can say clearly what the Ice Kingdom relies on to maintain its strength, but they all know that they have no choice but not to oppose the Ice Kingdom, and they must not oppose the Ice Kingdom if they have no choice.

Of course, Yuan Qifeng never took this seriously. In his opinion, these were all Bing Country bragging for themselves.

Although Jiang Simian often told him to be humble, as humility makes people progress and pride makes people fall behind, Yuan Qifeng's personality and cognition over decades cannot be changed in an instant.

This also led to his first mistake in the Ice Kingdom.

Several people wrapped up in thick cotton-padded jackets and checked into the inn. The women along the way looked at them with ridicule, as if they had done something embarrassing.

"Don't they know it's cold?" Feng Wu sneezed and said.

Li Xiaoqiang shook his head, "I don't know. I know that there are so many women in this city. Where are those old men? Are they allowed to eat?!"

Yuan Qifeng rolled his eyes at him angrily.

The latter scratched his head and wondered why Jiang Changzai had such a bad temper. They said that those who are close to red are red and those who are close to ink are black. At first glance, they were infected by the master. Ye Cheng and those liars were envious before he left. It's amazing.

What's the difference between this and staying in the palace to serve the Lord? You'll be cold and tired when you come out.

Yuan Qifeng didn't know what they were thinking. He just wanted to quickly know if there was any strange phenomenon happening in Bing Kingdom.

So I told him to go out for a walk.

Meng Dong stopped her and said, "You are unfamiliar with the place here, so we should accompany you."

"No, stay here," Yuan Qifeng said coldly.

Meng Dong and the three looked at each other in confusion, but in the end they did not disobey Yuan Qifeng's order and stayed in the inn honestly.

After Yuan Qifeng's figure disappeared, Li Xiaoqiang was the first to couldn't help but ask, "Is this Jiang Changzai fake? Why is it completely different from what Ye Cheng said?!"

Feng Wu said while cracking his wrist: "When I go back, I will let him know the price of deceiving me."

Only Meng Dong was the calmest, "Don't talk nonsense, we just need to follow the instructions. The most important thing is to protect Jiang Changzai's safety."

The three of them were discussing how to protect the indifferent Jiang Changzai in the room.

Over there, Yuan Qifeng has wandered into the busiest market here.

While looking at the rouge gouache on a stall, he asked casually: "My days have been peaceful recently, and nothing strange has happened anywhere."

The stall owner looked at him with confusion, "Isn't it always like this here? Are you sick?"

Yuan Qifeng put down what he was holding and said, "Excuse me."

Then he moved to another stall and continued to inquire, but after going around for a while, there was no useful information. However, Yuan Qifeng discovered a strange thing. The stalls in this market were all women, from those selling rouge and gouache to those selling pork.

So at the last stall, he asked something he regretted for a month, "Where have all the men here gone?"

The female stall owner was stunned for a moment and then reacted subconsciously, "You're not from the Ice Country, are you?"

Yuan Qifeng nodded, "I came here from Ruchuan Kingdom to purchase."

Although I really don't want to have anything to do with Ruchuan Kingdom, I can't help it. Ruchuan Kingdom is the only country that has a good relationship with Ice Kingdom because the queen of Ruchuan Kingdom was born in Ice Kingdom.

The female stall owner nodded when she heard this. It is true that the Ice Kingdom and the Ruchuan Kingdom have always had contacts with each other, and there are many people who don't understand the customs.

So he kindly explained, "In our country of ice, this has always been the case, with women taking charge outside and men taking charge inside."

Yuan Qifeng said subconsciously: "Shouldn't it be the man who is in charge?"

He swore that he was just saying what he said and had absolutely no intention of looking down on the women in front of him, but at this moment, he had to take responsibility for what he said.

The female stall owner jumped up at the crime and said, "So you are a traitor and you are actually talking to a man. Do you want to deceive the men of the Ice Kingdom into unrest?"

In an instant, all the women around him gathered around him.

The female stall owner pointed at Yuan Qifeng and said: "She is a spy who is trying to destroy the stability and unity of our country."

Seeing that the female stall owner suddenly raised the level of diplomatic relations between the two countries, Yuan Qifeng hurriedly shook his head. If that guy Yan Sen knew this, he was surrounded by a group of women, and he was not allowed to laugh at him for the rest of his life. He would probably be embarrassed to live. .

Yuan Qifeng wanted to defend himself, but he didn't expect that these women didn't listen to him at all, and directly grabbed him and "handed him over to the Queen."

At this time, the three men from Mengdong who came out to look for Yuan Qifeng discovered the commotion here. After a closer look, it was Jiang Simian who was arrested. This could wait, so they rushed over to rob someone.

The skills of the Hidden Dragon Guard were naturally not comparable to those of ordinary women, so soon the guards guarding the city arrived.

Yuan Qifeng stopped the three people who were about to lead him to break out, and shook his head. If he ran away like this, it would be more difficult to enter the Ice Country in the future than to climb to the sky. The most important thing is that it is rare for him to come out to do a mission. He was kicked out in such a dejected manner, and he still had the nerve to ask for any reward when he went back.

Yuan Qifeng felt that it was so difficult for him. He had to think about here and there.

So he simply stopped resisting and allowed the guards to arrest the four of them.

"This way we can see the Queen as quickly as possible." Yuan Qifeng looked at the eyes of the three of them and couldn't help but defend himself.

The three of them nodded in understanding, but then they thought about it, it's not that they didn't say they wanted to see the queen.

Yuan Qifeng and the other three were taken back to the city lord's palace, and Yuan Qifeng and the other three were placed in different cells.

He was restless and didn't know how long he would stay here.

The three people in another cell even started a small meeting.

"I agree with what Feng Wu said this time. Jiang Changzai is a fake," Li Xiaoqiang was the first to express his stance.

Feng Wu echoed, "Yes, I still think so."

Meng Dong said with a troubled face: "Ye Cheng said that women have such abnormal days every month."
