Chapter 1422 Meeting in Syracuse (2)
"Just a month ago." The old man said, "Although Daoist Ziyun has been immortal for many years, he concealed it very well, and he didn't say anything at the end of his life. If Elder Lan hadn't activated the sky compass spell to save his son, he still couldn't find it. I didn't know his whereabouts. But because of this, Elder Lan passed away."

"You keep talking about Elder Lan, what about the city lord?" Qin Zheng asked.

The old man shook his head, "The city lord has always ignored these things."

"Huh?" Qin Zheng raised his eyebrows.

The old man said, "Little prince, you have power in your hands, you can overthrow Xuecheng at any time, and in addition to the status of the little princess as the heir to the line of saints, I know everything I can know about you. The city lord has always been Ignore these things. The responsibility is to take care of Xuecheng, and things that have nothing to do with Xuecheng will be ignored."

"I heard that the city lord of Syracuse has no son or daughter over the years, but it has been passed down from generation to generation." Qin Zheng said, "I am a little curious. Since there is no son or daughter, how can it be passed down from generation to generation?"

The old man said, "The successors of each generation of Xuecheng are born according to the times. As for how they came into being, I am sorry that I can't tell you. After all, this is the secret of Xuecheng."

Qin Zheng raised his eyebrows, "Then how old is the Lord of Xuecheng?"

The old man shook his head, "My lord, I'm sorry I can't tell you about this. The city lord has always been a shadowy figure, rarely seen, and he doesn't want to contaminate the outside world."

"Really? Don't want to pollute the outside world?" Qin Zheng looked at him, "I don't think so, I still remember the armory in Love Flower Valley."

"The arsenal of Love Flower Valley is also for the stability of Xuecheng." The old man said, "To be honest, both Southern Qin and Northern Qi wanted to take Xuecheng as their own. If Xuecheng had no military power, it would have been annexed by the two countries long ago. no longer exists."

"It's reasonable." Qin Zheng nodded and said nothing more.

Seeing that Qin Zheng stopped talking, the old man asked him, "Young master, what else do you want to ask the little old man? If you don't ask any more questions, it's already late at night, so the little old man will stay with the little prince and the little princess for one night." , the two of you should leave Xuecheng early tomorrow morning. After all, the city lord has an order. Putting the little prince and princess into Xuecheng, the little old man also violated the order of the city lord."

Qin Zheng looked at him, "Since you've come in, if you don't get what I want, naturally you won't leave easily."

"The little prince wants those one hundred thousand soldiers?" The old man shook his head, "Let's not say the city lord is not here, even if the city lord is there, he would not respond to the little prince's matter."

"If Xuecheng borrows my soldiers and horses, I can keep Xuecheng safe and sound. If Xuecheng does not borrow soldiers and horses, then it is uncertain whether Xuecheng will be destroyed." Qin Zheng said.

"Little prince, even if you don't care about the face of the city lord who borrowed your [-] soldiers without saying a word, you should also consider the fact that the little princess is the successor of the line of saints in Tianjie Mountain. The root of the bloodline is very different from Xuecheng You shouldn’t be threatening to overthrow Xuecheng like this, right?” The old man’s face darkened when he heard the words, “The little old man violated the order of the city lord and invited the little prince and princess into the city. Let me tell you, I have treated the two of you kindly."

"Although the Lord has the ability to destroy Xuecheng, as you said, because of the two face-saving reasons, naturally he 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 Xuecheng are the key." Qin Zheng said, "I don't want it, so naturally someone will want it."

"The little prince said that Northern Qi also cared about the soldiers of Xuecheng?" The old man sneered, "Who in Northern Qi has the ability to want my soldiers of Xuecheng? It has nothing to do with Xuecheng. 300 years ago, how far did the Southern Qin and Northern Qi come? Isn’t Xuecheng still safe and sound, what can no one do to Xuecheng?”

Qin Zheng sneered, "300 years ago was 300 years ago, and today is today. Although Uncle Xiaoguo in Beiqi has not had much reputation these years, he is not small in terms of ability. Snow City can guarantee that it will be safe 300 years ago, but can it guarantee that it will be safe today? 30 Soldiers and horses plus first-class weapons are powerful and prestigious, but it is not impossible to destroy them.”

The old man was silent.

Qin Zheng said, "If my predictions are correct, after Yu Yanchen's victory over Nanqin and Nanqin's retreat a hundred miles to Pinggu, he will definitely go to Xuecheng. Counting the time, it will definitely happen before tomorrow. arrive."

The old man frowned.

Seeing that he didn't speak anymore, Qin Zheng picked up some tea and drank it.

Xie Fanghua had been listening to the two talking without speaking.Elder Chen was on the sidelines, not knowing what to think or saying.

In the silence, someone from outside reported, "Master, outside the gate of the city, uncle Xiaoguo from Beiqi came to visit the city lord."

"Now?" The old man was startled, looked outside and asked.

"At this moment." The outside said humanely, "This subordinate has already said that the city master is not in the city, and Beiqi Xiaoguo uncle said that it is okay to meet the city master."

Hearing this, the old man turned his head to look at Qin Zheng.

Qin Zheng smiled, his brows were warm and cold.

Xie Fanghua thought that Yan Chen had really spared no effort and painstaking efforts for the Northern Qi Dynasty. When he came to Xuecheng late at night, it was naturally for the soldiers of Xuecheng.Although he is not Yu Zhaotian, he is still Beiqi's Xiao Guojiu. Although he is not the Yuyanchen that the Yu family wanted to see, he has become another Yuyanchen who grew up according to the Yu family's long-cherished wish.

For a while, she couldn't tell what it was like in her heart, she just felt that everyone was in charge, and that fate was tricking people.

The old man looked at Qin Zheng for a moment, and said, "Since Uncle Xiaoguo from Beiqi is here, please ask the little prince and princess to stay away for a while, until the little old man sees him."

Qin Zheng put down the teacup, and said disapprovingly, "What are you avoiding? My wife and I are not shameless, he is also our old acquaintance. We will follow you to meet him." After saying that, he turned his head and asked Xie Fanghua, "You How do you feel?"

"Okay." Xie Fanghua nodded.

Qin Zheng waved his hand to the old man, "That's the decision."

The old man hesitated for a moment, nodded, and ordered to the outside, "Go and invite Uncle Xiaoguo of Northern Qi Dynasty into the city."
