This time, the defenders of the city went to report and it took more than half an hour to return.Qin Zheng was already impatient to wait.When the city keeper arrived, he ordered the city gate to be opened, and at the same time said, "Little prince, little princess, our master is invited." ”Qin Zheng raised his eyebrows, "What about your city lord?"
said the city guard, "Our city lord is indeed not in the city." ”Qin Zheng nodded and ordered Qingyan to enter the city.The team entered the gates of Syracuse, and as the men and horses entered, the gates closed again.Xie Fanghua had never been to Syracuse, so after the carriage entered the city gate, she lifted the curtain and looked out.The inside of Syracuse City is very bright, the shops along the street are lit up, there are many people shuttling through the streets, and the teahouses, restaurants, and song shops can hear the bustling voices of people, which is very lively, like a city that never sleeps.In terms of prosperity, Snow City looks more prosperous than the capital of Southern Qin.The defenders of the city led the way, like a tall and magnificent mansion.The people along the street saw the procession of Haohao Tang entering the city, but they just glanced at it, and they were not affected in the slightest, nor did they make waves.Qin Zheng and Xie Fanghua didn't speak on the road.In front of the tall mansion, there was an old man in his fifties, with a thin beard and a very kind face, waiting there.Old Chen suddenly let out a "huh".The old man looked at Chen Lao and was stunned for a moment.Qin Zheng and Xie Fanghua looked at the two of them at the same time.The old man was stunned for a moment, then turned around and bowed his hand kindly, "The little prince and the little princess came to Syracuse late at night, it is the honor of Syracuse, if it weren't for the city lord's explanation, the little old man would definitely go to the city gate to greet him, and he didn't dare to wronged the two." ”Qin Zheng hooked his lips and smiled, "My wife and I came uninvited, but I didn't expect that the city lord would not want to see us." ”The old man said, "The little old man is also very strange, but the city lord does have an order before leaving, and the little old man does not dare not follow it, and he still hopes that the little prince and the little princess Haihan." ”"Forget about Haihan, we're coming in anyway."
Qin Zheng looked at him, "I don't know when your city lord left and when he will come back" The old man shook his head, "The city lord has been away for a few days, and I didn't say when I will come back." ”Qin Zheng narrowed his eyes, "If the city lord is in the city and I know, you should know the consequences." ”The old man immediately said sincerely, "Although the little old man is not a monk, he is also a person who is kind to the Buddha and does not speak.If the little prince doesn't believe it, even if he turns this snow city upside down, if he finds the city lord, the little old man will be at the disposal of the little prince. ”Qin Zheng looked at him, and seeing that his face and eyes were extremely sincere, he nodded, "In this way, now that Snow City is the master, you are in charge" The old man shook his head, "I can do it for the little master, but the big master doesn't dare to do it." ”"What kind of lord is the big lord" Qin Zheng looked at him, "For example, I want to borrow 100,000 soldiers and horses from Syracuse, do you count" The old man coughed and said, "There are only 100,000 soldiers and horses in Syracuse, and the little prince will borrow them all, and Syracuse will be empty, and no one will come to defend the city." ”Qin Zheng raised his eyebrows, "You just said, is this the great master" The old man nodded, "This is naturally counted, the soldiers and horses are the roots of Snow City." ”"Soldiers and horses are not necessarily the root of Snow City," Qin Zheng looked at him and said, "Snow City has stood here for many generations and years, although it is famous for soldiers and horses, but in terms of it, the Love Flower Valley and Tianjie Mountain behind him are the roots of Snow City." ”The old man's face moved, and he turned his head to look at Xie Fanghua.After Xie Fanghua got out of the car, she stood beside Qin Zheng, listening to the two of them talking, while looking at the old man's behavior, seeing him, she smiled faintly and did not speak.The old man's gaze fell on Xie Fanghua's slightly slightly cherished lower abdomen, his eyes surged for a moment, and he said respectfully, "This is not the place to speak, the little prince and the little princess, please." ”After saying that, he led the way and entered the inner courtyard.Qin Zheng stretched out his hand and pulled Xie Fanghua into with him.Coming to a meeting room in the inner courtyard, the old man ordered someone to serve tea, and after that, he said to Qin Zheng, "Little prince, little princess, you are from the Valley of Love Flowers" Qin Zheng bowed.The old man asked again, "You haven't been able to enter Tianjie Mountain, right?"
Qin Zheng looked at him, "How can you see it" The old man said, "Snow City does have some connection with Tianjie Mountain, and it was once a branch of Tianjie Mountain in the outer world.But for thousands of years, the bloodline of Tianjie Mountain living here has long been extinct, and without the bloodline, he would not be a person from Tianjie Mountain. ”After the words fell, he said, "The little princess has the orthodox bloodline of Tianjie Mountain, if the mountain is still a sea of fire today, the sky is going to be the top of the Tianjie Mountain, and the little princess naturally can't enter." ”"Master is a person who came out of the Heavenly Vocation Hall," Qin Zheng asked.The old man bowed, "The little prince knows about the Heavenly Duty Hall, it should be Chen Wei who told me, I didn't expect him to be alive, he hasn't come to Syracuse City all these years."
I thought he didn't survive the catastrophe and died.After all, under that catastrophe, even if the elders were protecting us, there would only be a few of us left in the world. ”"Elder Chen, come in."
Qin Zheng said outside.The old man spoke no more, and there was no objection.Old Chen walked in from outside, nodded to the old man, and said, "I entered the Heavenly Vocation Hall late because I entered the Heavenly Vocation Hall, and I entered the Heavenly Vocation Hall for special reasons, so I don't have any magic skills, and I don't know much about the internal affairs of Tianjie Mountain and the relationship between the outside.It was only a few days ago that I learned about the connection between Snow City and Tianjie Mountain under the inference of the little prince and the little princess, otherwise I would have come early in the morning, and I would not have wandered outside for so many years. ”"I see, no wonder."
The old man nodded, "There are very few people who survived in the world back then, I went to Syracuse City with Elder Lan and survived."
Inquire around about the whereabouts of the little prince and the little saintess who were taken away.Many years ago, there was finally a whereabouts, but it was too late, and by the time we arrived, the man was already dead. ”"You mean Hua'er's mother," Qin Zheng asked.The old man nodded."
Then why didn't you bring Hua'er to Snow City" Qin Zheng asked again, "Since you have worked hard to find their descendants, you shouldn't let it go" "It's the head of Ziyun Dao who is not allowed." ”The old man said, "We only found the little saintess, who fell into the Boling Cui clan, and the Ziyun Daoist knew about the whereabouts of the little prince, but he kept silent.Don't talk about its whereabouts, just say that this is the will of heaven, the will of heaven is difficult to violate, if it is against the sky, don't say that Tianjie Mountain is no longer guaranteed, and Snow City will not be guaranteed.Elder Lan and I can only put this matter on hold. ”"The little prince in your mouth is the heir of the Meizu royal family, and now Snow City can be found," Qin Zheng asked.The old man nodded, "Back then, the Purple Cloud Dao Chief deliberately concealed it, but he didn't expect the royal bloodline to fall into the Qingyun Guan royal family, which was indeed unexpected. ”"When did you know that Wang Yi'an is the heir to the Meizu royal family," Qin Zheng asked again."
Just a month ago."
The old man said, "Although the Purple Cloud Dao Elder has been immortal for many years, he has concealed it very well, and he has not said anything when he is dying.If it weren't for Elder Lan, who activated the Heavenly Compass spell in order to save his son, he still couldn't find his whereabouts.But because of this, Elder Lan Immortal passed away. ”"You keep saying Elder Lan, what about the city lord," Qin Zheng asked.The old man shook his head, "The city lord has always ignored these things. ”"Hmm," Qin Zheng raised his eyebrows.The old man said, "Little Prince, you have power in your hands, and you can overthrow Snow City at any time, plus the little princess is the identity of the heir of the Holy Maiden, I know everything I can tell you."
Indeed, the lord of the city has always ignored these things.The responsibility is to take care of Syracuse, and things that have nothing to do with Syracuse will not be ignored. ”"I heard that the city lord of Syracuse has no children or daughters over the years, but it has been passed down from generation to generation."
Qin Zheng said, "I'm a little curious.Since there are no children and no daughters, how can it be passed down from generation to generation," the old man said, "The heirs of Syracuse of each generation came into being.As for how it came to be, I can't tell the little old man.After all, this is the secret of Syracuse. ”Qin Zheng raised his eyebrows, "Then the city lord of Snow City now, how old is it" The old man shook his head, "Little prince, I can't tell you about this."
The city lord has always been a ghost, and few people have seen it, and he doesn't want to be contaminated with the outside world. ”"Do you want to contaminate the outside world" Qin Zheng looked at him, "I don't think so, the armory in the Valley of Love Flowers, I still remember it as fresh as ever." ”"The armory in Love Flower Valley is also for the stability of Syracuse."
The old man said, "To tell you the truth, both the Southern Qin and Northern Qi want to take Syracuse as their own.If Syracuse had no soldiers, it would have been annexed by the two countries long ago and would no longer exist. ”"That's right."
Qin Zheng nodded and said no more.Seeing that Qin Zheng was no longer speechless, the old man asked him, "Little Wangye, if you don't ask Xiao Lao'er anymore, it's already late at night, Xiao Lao'er will leave the little prince and the little princess for one night, and tomorrow morning, the two of you will leave Snow City."
After all, the city lord has an order.put the little prince and the little princess into Snow City, and the little old man also violated the city lord's order. ”Qin Zheng looked at him, "Since you came in and didn't get what I wanted, naturally you won't leave easily." ”"The little prince wants the 100,000 soldiers and horses" The old man shook his head, "Don't say that the city lord is not there, even if the city lord is here, he will not respond to the little prince." ”"If Syracuse lends me soldiers and horses, I can keep Syracuse safe and sound, if Syracuse doesn't borrow soldiers and horses, then it is uncertain whether Syracuse will be destroyed."
Qin Zheng said."
Little Prince, even if you don't look at the city lord's face of borrowing your 10,000 soldiers and horses, it should also be seen that the little princess is the heir of the Holy Maiden of Tianjie Mountain, and the root of the bloodline has a great relationship with Snow City, you shouldn't threaten to overturn Snow City like this" The old man's face was slightly gloomy when he heard this, "Little Lao'er violated the city lord's order and invited the little prince and the little princess into the city. ”"Although the master has the ability to destroy Snow City, as you said, for the sake of these two faces, he naturally won't do it."
Qin Zheng looked at him, "But if I don't do it, it doesn't mean that others won't do it." ”"What do you mean, little prince, but please make it clear."
The old man looked at Qin Zheng."
Southern Qin and Northern Qi, the two countries are at war, and the soldiers of Syracuse are the key."
Qin Zheng said, "I don't want it, naturally someone will." ”"The little prince said that the Northern Qi Dynasty is also worried about the soldiers of Snow City," the old man sneered, "Who is there in the Northern Qi Dynasty and what ability does I want the soldiers of Snow City to come for many generations, Snow City has never participated in wars, nor has it participated in external disputes, and the war between the two countries has nothing to do with Snow City."
Three hundred years ago, how far did the Southern Qin and Northern Qi fight Snow City is not still safe and sound, no one can help Snow City" Qin Zheng sneered, "Three hundred years ago was three hundred years ago, and now it is now, although Uncle Xiaoguo of Northern Qi has no reputation over the years, but in terms of ability, it is not small.Syracuse can guarantee that it was safe three hundred years ago, but it can guarantee that it is safe today 300,000 soldiers and horses, plus other weapons, although it is powerful and prestigious, but if you want to destroy it, it is not completely impossible. ”The old man was silent.Qin Zheng said, "If what I expected is right, Yu Yanchen will definitely go to Snow City after the battle of Southern Qin is victorious, and after Southern Qin retreats a hundred miles to Ping Valley.Calculate the time, and it will definitely come tomorrow. ”The old man frowned.Qin Zheng saw that he was no longer speechless, so he picked up the tea and drank it.Xie Fanghua kept listening to the two of them and didn't speak.Chen Lao was on the side, not knowing what to think, and he didn't speak.In the silence, someone outside announced, "Master, outside the city gate, there is a little uncle from Northern Qi who has come to visit the city lord." ”"Now," the old man was stunned, looking outside and asking."
Right now."
Outside, "The subordinates have already said that the city lord is not in the city, and Uncle Xiaoguo of Northern Qi said that it is okay to meet the person in charge of the city." ”Hearing this, the old man turned his head to look at Qin Zheng.Qin Zheng smiled, his eyebrows cold.Xie Fanghua thought that Yan Chen had really spared no effort for the sake of Northern Qi, and came to Syracuse late at night, naturally for the sake of the soldiers of Syracuse.Although he is not Yu Zhaotian, he is still the uncle of the Northern Qi Dynasty, although he is not the Yu Yanchen that the Yu family wants to see, but he has also become another Yu Yanchen who grew up according to the Yu family's long-cherished wish.For a while, she couldn't tell what she felt in her heart, she just felt that each was his own master, and fate made people.The old man looked at Qin Zheng for a moment and said, "Since the little uncle of Northern Qi is here, I will first ask the little prince and the little princess to stay away for a while, and wait for the little old man to see him." ”Qin Zheng put down the teacup and said disappreciatively, "What to avoid, my wife and I are not unsightly, he is also our old acquaintance,."
We will follow you to meet him. ”When the words fell, he turned his head and asked Xie Fanghua, "What do you think?"
”Xie Fanghua nodded.Qin Zheng waved his hand at the old man, "That's it." ”The old man hesitated for a moment, nodded, and instructed outside, "Go and invite Uncle Xiaoguo of Northern Qi to enter the city." ”:
