In the Broken Ding Realm, a spring snow swept across the earth, and the entire Ling and Winter Province was shrouded under the snow curtain. The north wind whistled and flew, and with a fluff of snow, it slapped the solid newly built wall of Dongfrost City.

“Tu tu tu tu…”

The sound of horse hooves came in the snow curtain. A man under the city raised the purple-green battle flag and shouted: "The first and second battalions of the Imperial Guard have arrived. I requested to enter Dongshuang City. This is our pioneer token."

A small door was opened under the city and took the token in. Soon after, the gate slowly opened. Cavalry wrapped in leather robe appeared in the snow curtain, and they entered the city one after another.

Above the city, veteran Zhou Han was smoking a dry cigarette. He tilted his head and tilted the dry cigarette so that the blast would not be extinguished by the falling snow. With his clicking sound, balls of smoke floated in the air, melting into the same place as the snowflakes.

"It's the seventh day. Imperial troops have entered Dongshuang City every day. Is it really going to fight?" A new recruit rubbed his hands and looked up at the sky. Heavy snow fell on his face. He couldn't help but complain: "It's the weather that it's still snowing so much. I don't know how many crops will be frozen to death."

Zhou Han smiled slightly, and the wrinkles on his face fluctuated with his smile, and said, "I don't know if there will be a war, but the matter about the Tianji Continent has been circulating for a long time. Now who doesn't know that there is a continent on the other side of the East China Sea? There are three powerful countries on that continent. The enemy is strong and I am weak. I think that the two high men, King Wang and King Zhong, must have mobilized their troops to enter Dongshuang City to defend against the enemy."

The young recruit sat up with an excited look on his face and said, "What a long time, I heard that Zetian Palace wants to make our Dongshuang City the Eastern Capital, I don't know if it's true."

"It's true."

"Then, if we set up the Dongdu, we soldiers who have been guarding Dongshuang City for five years should also get some benefits."

"What's the benefit? It's amazing that you'll add three or five copper coins to your monthly military pay. How much do you think you can get?" Zhou Han narrowed his eyes and said, "But Dongdu is just for the purpose of defending the enemy. If I can choose, I would rather go back to Lanyan City to guard the warehouse outside the city."

The recruit was stunned: "Why."

"At least that would be a little further away from the battle." The veteran continued to suck the dry tobacco.

At this moment, a soldier shouted from an unknown place in the inner city: "Duke of Wei is here to patrol and guard."

The veteran hurriedly slapped the tobacco leaves in the tobacco pot on the snow, and stood up with a group of soldiers holding cold halberds in their hands, thrusting their chests one by one, standing straight.

The heavy snow fell on their helmets without any cover, but no one moved a little. Wei Guo Duke Wei Qiu was the commander of the entire Longtan Camp and the highest general who finally defeated the demon clan. In the minds of the imperial soldiers, this Duke Wei Guo had long been a hero.

"rustle……"

Amid the sound of trampling on the snow, a group of people walked into the snow curtain in the distance. Wei Qiu was the one wearing the duke's cloak, and behind him was a group of deputy commanders and generals of the ten thousand men's level.

“See the commander.”

A group of soldiers knelt on one knee. Since the main force of the Longtan Camp was drawn back from the Eight Wilderness Land, the guards and guards of Dongshuang City were completed by the Longtan Camp, which was what Feng Jixing and Tang Xiaoxi meant.

Wei Qiu hand pressed the handle of the sword around his waist and nodded to greet a group of soldiers: "Get up."

Everyone stood up one after another.

Wei Qiu sniffed the heat, looked at the cold faces of everyone, frowned, and said, "Axue, tell the Military Control Commission that each soldier guarding the city would add a close-fitting cotton coat."

"Yes, commander." Situ Xue nodded.

Situ Sen, who was beside him, raised his lips and looked at the outside of the city and said, "I don't know when His Highness Qin will come back. Recently, I have been constantly discovering that ships from the Tianji Continent are close to the coast, but His Highness has not appeared for a long time. Even King Xin, King Zhong and Princess Xi have come to Dongshuang City and never see him back. I really don't know when he will delay."

Wei Qiu smiled slightly: "The adults are naturally interested in staying in the Tianji Continent. General Sen doesn't need to worry. Recently, ships on the Tianji Continent are becoming more and more frequent. I think the adults should be back."

Situ Xue frowned slightly and said, "It's just that they are all merchant ships. Under the guise of coming to our port to trade and do business, hum... maybe they are all spies."

Wei Qiu nodded: "Any foreign merchant ships near the Imperial Port are all seized, we would rather spend some food to raise these merchants than let them send our garrison intelligence back."

"In my opinion, it's better..."

Situ Sen made a gesture of slashing down with one knife and said, "It's easy to cut it directly. Save some food and eat it yourself. It's still snowing this spring, and the harvest is destined to not be too good. I don't know when this battle will be fought. We can't do without food."

Wei Qiu smiled and shook his head: "This is not possible. We have not yet declared war with Tianji Continent. If our businessmen who kill them are more likely to attract people, it is better to be more steady and wait for the adults to come back from Tianji Continent before making a decision."

"Then are we doing nothing now?"

Situ Sen gritted his teeth. He was a typical pro-war faction.

Bai Yin, who was standing beside him, also said, "Yes, you can't sit idly by, you must have some countermeasures."

"I know."

Wei Qiu pondered and said, "Xin Wang Feng Jixing said yesterday that we should send small warships to sea to build our maritime defense line. Once a foreign merchant ship comes, it will be shot back. If the warning is invalid, just use the magic crystal cannon to bombard it. This is what Feng Jixing said after drinking. What do you think?"

"Your Highness King Xin may have drunk too much..." Situ Xue smiled: "Will it give Tianji Continent a more reason to start a war? Besides, our weapons, warships, and food are not fully prepared. If the war starts in a hurry, it will probably be very unfavorable to us. After all, there are thousands of dragon knights on the Tianji Continent. If more than a thousand dragon knights attack in the air, we have no way to resist."

“Yes, we need time.”

Wei Qiu looked at the snow curtain in the east with clear eyes and said, "Especially the warships, the tower ships just cast by the imperial capital are still on the Daojiang River and have not come yet. If the war starts, it will have to wait for at least another month. Otherwise, we will definitely face a crushing defeat, and in addition..."

He looked up at the sky and sighed: "This heavy snow is so vicious. Fighting in the snow is something our imperial army is not good at, especially the magic crystal cannon. The ignition device of the energy crystal cannon is easily affected by the snow. When His Royal Highness of Qin was using the magic crystal cannon, it must be clear weather every time he used the magic crystal cannon. In this weather, try to avoid a battle as much as possible."

"Well, it seems that this is true." Situ Sen nodded, reached out and patted Wei Qiu on the shoulder, and said, "How has you practiced the ghost and gods that you gave you before leaving?"

"Slightly accomplished." Wei Qiu smiled slightly.

"Come on, show us."

"Um."

Wei Qiu walked to the wall, avoided the sight of a group of soldiers, suddenly opened his palm, and a light purple light suddenly lingered from the palm, full of powerful ghosts and gods. This was the power he drew from the ghosts and gods. When Lin Muyu used the weapon refining cauldron to help him refine the ghosts and gods, but now Wei Qiu has cultivated this wisp of ghosts and gods' power to ten times the intensity he had at the beginning.

"Good..."

Situ Sen said astonished: "You cannot practice this... you are already in the Holy King realm."

"Um."

Wei Qiu nodded: "After refining the power of ghosts and gods, his cultivation has improved rapidly. Now it is the peak of the Holy King realm, and Lord Qu Chu often gives me advice. Therefore, Princess Xi uses Youquan Ghost Book to help me guide and temper my divine power. You should be able to enter the divine realm within half a year."

Situ Sen took a deep breath: "It's just my biological child, why don't you see them telling me..."

Wei Qiu smiled: "Princess Xi said that she wanted to give you some advice, but you are practicing the same Star Art as the adults. She knows nothing, so let's wait until the adults come back."

"Well, that's all."

At this moment, another shadow came to the east of the city. It was a man wearing a dark blue cloak. Dongshuang City had been martial law long ago. People were prohibited from entering and leaving during the Imperial Army's entry. Whether it was business travelers or pedestrians, they were forbidden to enter Dongshuang City. The appearance of this person inevitably surprised the soldiers on the city.

"Who."

The veteran, Chief Zhou Han, raised his hands and shouted loudly to the person coming from afar.

The visitor didn't say anything, but continued to approach the city gate.

"Arrowman."

Zhou Han shouted: "Dongshuang City has been martial law. No one is allowed to enter before April. You can leave here quickly. If you don't speak anymore, we will shoot arrows."

The person who came walked in the snow and staggered.

After slowly stopping, he lifted the fluffy cloak above his head, revealing a handsome and handsome face, looked up at the people on the city wall, and smiled, "Is there anyone in the Gentian Camp who doesn't know me?"

Zhou Han trembled all over: "Qin...His Royal Highness of Qin..."

"What,."

Wei Qiu, Situ Sen, Situ Xue, and Bai Yin rushed to the side of the scepter together, looking down, who would the person standing in the snow beside Lin Muyu?

"It's really the adults are back, hahaha, the adults are back."

Several people rushed down the city wall almost at the same time. The four of them were walking side by side, but when they approached Lin Muyu, the three men stopped and knelt on one knee: "See Your Highness."

Only Situ Xue threw herself into Lin Muyu's arms, buried her face between his neck covered in wind and frost, and smiled and said, "Your Highness, you are finally back."

Lin Muyu was a little embarrassed: "Axue, it's been a long time since we saw each other."

Situ Xue stepped back with a red face, knelt beside her brother on one knee, and said, "Situ Xue meets His Highness."

"Everyone is up, there is no need to be too polite."

Lin Muyu raised her eyebrows and said, "I heard that Brother Feng, Ayan and Xiaoxi are both in Dongshuang City."

"Um."

Wei Qiu nodded: "The empire decided to decide the eastern capital of Dongshuang City, so everyone is here."

"Great, take me to see them."
