Li Qi, who was standing on the hillside, looked at the Snow Country soldiers who rushed into the military camp and smiled slightly.
Grandma, let you be arrogant, I will teach you what it means to be empty-handed!
"Yun'er, is the sleigh ready?" Li Qi asked.
"Master, you are ready."
"Okay, let's go." Li Qi said.
Li Qi took Wei Gang, Tang Yun, and Wei Xinshan on a modified sleigh.
As soon as Wei cracked his whip, the horses galloped forward, and the sled flew quickly on the snow.
"Sir, why don't we go with everyone?" Tang Yun asked.
Li Qidao: "That guy surnamed Liang tried to kill me over and over again. If I didn't die, how could he give up? I stayed behind to take care of him. My life or death was uncertain by then. Anyway, Tian Hangnan would transport the grain and grass back. I couldn't find him surnamed Liang."
If you find me, naturally there is nothing you can do against me."
"Besides, what's the good of fighting? We went with the army. When the war breaks out, we don't know what will happen. If Liang Fuhui continues to play dirty, even the nine lives I have in the army are not enough for him.
"
Tang Yun nodded: "I see, I was just wondering why the young master wanted to stay behind and take care of him. This is a bit inconsistent with the young master's style."
"Hey, Yun'er, what do you mean? Are you saying that your young master is greedy for life and afraid of death?" Li Qi said.
Tang Yun covered his mouth and smiled and said: "No...how could the young master be a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death? The young master is a hero and the smartest person in the world. The young master can use a clever trick to get everyone out of the valley. If
If it were anyone else, I wouldn’t know what to do..."
Listening to Tang Yun's praise, Li Qi said happily: "That's pretty much it. Remember, your young master is the smartest person in the world!"
"Yes, yes, you are the smartest," Tang Yunjiao said with a smile.
Wei Xinshan did not hear the meaning in Tang Yun's words, and sincerely praised him: "Brother Li is so awesome! He uses troops like a god!"
"Yun'er, look at how well Xinshan can talk?" Li Qi said with a smile.
Tang Yun smiled and asked, "Sir, where should we go next?"
Li Qidao: "We're already in the Snow Kingdom anyway, why don't we go to the Snow City for a walk?"
"ah?!"
The two women were stunned at the same time.
Li Qi said: "Why are you so surprised? We went there as businessmen, and no one knows us, so what are we afraid of? And if we go back to Kyoto now, it's not the right time. We just go to the Snow City to see it."
Pursing his lips, Li Qi continued: "Over there, if Daxia wins, we can go back to Beijing with the army. If we lose, we will be safe in the city. Anyway, going there is not a good idea for us.
It’s the best choice.”
As he spoke, Li Qi stood up, put one hand on his hip, pointed forward and made a very neutral gesture: "Let's go! Snow City!"
It only lasted three seconds before the sled started to bump and Li Qi was almost thrown off.
"Monk, how did you catch the carriage?!"
Wei Gang said with an innocent face: "Master, I have only driven a car with wheels. This is the first time I have driven a car without wheels..."
…
"What?!"
Nalanke clenched his fists so hard that his nails were dug into his flesh.
He never thought that he would actually fall into the trap!
Only others have always fallen into his trap, and he has never fallen into anyone else's trap.
"Li Qi! I remember you!"
As Nalank said this, he punched the table hard, and instantly the table was smashed into pieces!
…
As the capital of Snow Country, Snow City covers a very large area, with towering snow-capped mountains on its left, right and back, and only a city wall in front.
Looking around, the entire city is surrounded by ice and snow, which is very spectacular.
When Li Qi and his party arrived at the city gate, they were stopped by the soldiers guarding the gate.
"What do you do?" asked a soldier wearing animal skins, holding a trident in his hand.
Li Qi smiled and handed over a piece of silver: "Brother Cha, we are businessmen in the leather and leather business. Please be accommodating."
The soldier took the silver from Li Qi's hand, smiled and said: "Father business? Then why don't you bring anything?"
"To tell you the truth, brother, we came to Xuedu to buy velvet," Li Qi said.
Hearing this sentence, the soldier rolled his eyes and seemed to have thought of something and said, "Wait a moment."
Then he went back to communicate with other soldiers guarding the gate. After a while, he came over again: "Our captain said, since you are here to buy fur, you have to pay some silver as a guarantee. When you leave the city later,
I’ll give it back to you.”
Hearing what he said, Li Qina still didn't understand what kind of guarantee this was. It was just an attempt to extort money.
Li Qi, who had long been accustomed to this kind of thing, asked without saying anything: "I wonder how much I have to pay?"
"One hundred taels."
The tone is really not small!
Li Qi looked depressed: "Brother Bing, we don't have much money with us. If we pay so much money, I'm afraid we won't be able to purchase goods..."
"Either pay to let you in, or get out!" the soldier said unceremoniously.
Li Qi pretended to be distressed and took out one hundred taels of silver from the package and handed it over.
The soldier took the silver, looked at the somewhat empty package in Li Qi's hand, and nodded with satisfaction: "Don't worry, when you come out later, the silver will be returned to you... Just go over there and register."
You can enter the city."
"Thank you, big brother." Li Qi cupped his hands and said.
After registering, Li Qi and his party entered the city.
The buildings in Snow City are obviously not comparable to those in Kyoto, but they also have their own characteristics. Most of them are stilted buildings, and the streets are covered with thick ice and snow.
People on the street all wear a special pair of leather non-slip shoes with straw tied to the soles, which looks very funny.
"Brother Li, how do you know those people want to ask us for one hundred taels of silver?" Wei Xinshan couldn't help but ask.
Li Qi said: "I just made a guess. I didn't expect these guys to be really dark."
Before entering the city, Li Qi prepared more than one hundred taels of silver in a package. Unexpectedly, he spent all the money when he arrived at the city gate.
"Find a place to stay first, have a good rest, and then we can go out for a walk later," Li Qi said.
No one had any opinion.
After a while, the group of people came to an inn called "Hot Spring House".
When he saw the word "hot spring", Li Qi chose this place without hesitation.
In this kind of ice and snow weather, taking a bath is a very troublesome thing. There are hot springs where you can take a bath, which is simply not very refreshing.
As soon as I entered the house, a wave of heat hit my face. It was obvious that the difference between the indoor and outdoor air was unknown.
This inn is not big, there are only four or five tables in the lobby.
