"The elder also said that if I can't complete the task, there will be no need to stay in the castle."
"But I still have a sick father and a young brother at home. If I am kicked out of the castle, they will all starve to death."
The girl lowered her head and trembled uncontrollably, tears gradually filling her eyes.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Yifeng was silent for a long time, then sighed and opened the door, gesturing for the girl to enter the house.
"Many, thank you, sir!"
The girl felt something strange in front of her and immediately raised her head.
Seeing the door open, he immediately wiped the tears from his eyes and rushed into the house excitedly.
Zhang Yifeng shook his head and closed the door with his backhand.
"Although I let you in, you don't need to do anything else. Just stay aside and I won't care about you."
Zhang Yifeng said quietly, then continued to sit back on the ground and began to arrange the formation.
When the girl heard this, she also stood aside with a embarrassed look on her face, carefully observing Zhang Yifeng's movements.
After a while, the girl gradually let go of the panic and fear in her heart.
She stared at Zhang Yifeng carefully for a while, and then asked in a low voice: "Sir, are you also from the Empire?"
"no."
Zhang Yifeng responded casually and concentrated on sketching the formation.
"I see, that's great!"
When the girl heard this, excitement suddenly appeared on her face, and she said happily.
Zhang Yifeng paused when he heard the sound, and couldn't help but turn around and look at the girl.
"What is the deep grudge between you and the Imperial people that you hate each other so much?"
Zhang Yifeng asked with a puzzled expression. Now that there happened to be a Han tribe civilian nearby, Zhang Yifeng could also ask her about his doubts.
"I don't know much about this, but when my mother was still alive, she told us that the people in the Empire were all bad guys."
"And they have green faces and fangs and are so thirsty for life that they even kidnap children from the Snow Country to eat!"
"But looking at those Imperial people today, they seem to be no different from us."
The girl scratched her forehead, looking like she was thinking hard.
When Zhang Yifeng heard these words, he couldn't help but think of Lu Shang's previous eyes, which seemed to think that the Snow people were all a bunch of monsters.
It seems that the Tianyu Empire and the Snow Kingdom have already demonized each other's image, which is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in the country.
From this point of view, there is still a long way to go to get the Snow people to accept the Ji family members from the empire.
Unless there is a big event that can change the Snow people's prejudice against the Imperial people.
Otherwise, even if Zhang Yifeng can help Wan Renxue ascend to the position of king of the Snow Kingdom, the scene he envisioned to accommodate all races will be difficult to implement among the Snow Clan.
"So what do you think of the Imperial people now? Are they still as unforgiving as you remember them?"
Zhang Yifeng narrowed his eyes and asked the girl in a deep voice.
The girl looked distressed when she heard this, and after thinking deeply for a while, she shook her head.
"No, now I think they are the same as us Snow Tribe people, they just have different accents and different clothes."
"Besides, the sisters I met earlier were very nice and even gave me sweets."
The girl laughed out loud as she spoke. At such an innocent age, a few candies can often make her happy all day long.
"Um……"
Zhang Yifeng nodded slightly. It seemed that the demonized image of the Imperial people had not at least taken root in the hearts of these young people.
Otherwise, if even the young man's mind is full of hostility towards the empire, then it will be really difficult for Wan Renxue to start his future work.
"You just stay in this room today, and don't step out of the door."
Zhang Yifeng completed the last stroke in his hand, and a golden light instantly disappeared into the ground.
At the same time, a golden light also flashed in front of the doors of other rooms in the corridor where people from the Ji family lived.
"Okay, okay, sir."
The girl nodded in understanding, and then stood aside obediently.
"Sit on the bed and have a good rest. I have some things to deal with."
"Before I come back, remember not to leave hastily."
Zhang Yifeng stood up and walked towards the door, giving instructions in a low voice.
The girl nodded cautiously, then turned her head and glanced at the big bed in the room next to her.
It wasn't until Zhang Yifeng pushed the door open that the girl showed hesitation on her face.
Finally, he slowly walked towards the big bed. First he carefully touched the clean and soft edge of the bed, and then slowly and tremblingly he lay down and put it on.
Suddenly, a warm feeling hit her heart, and the girl just lay on the bed and gradually fell into sleep.
On the other side, Zhang Yifeng had just pushed the door open and felt a cold air gradually enveloping the entire corridor.
The fog that made it difficult to see the surroundings rose from all directions and gradually enveloped the entire corridor.
"Is it finally here? It makes me a little impatient to wait."
Zhang Yifeng chuckled lightly, raised his hand and called in the air, and a long sword fell into his palm.
At the same time, a burst of heavy footsteps suddenly came from the front.
Zhang Yifeng could feel an evil aura coming towards his face.
"Um?"
This breath had an inexplicable familiar feeling, which made Zhang Yifeng frown.
Just as he was secretly wondering, a roar came from the cold mist.
Immediately, a huge black shadow rushed towards him through the fog, its sharp claws trying to tear Zhang Yifeng's chest apart.
"Oh? I didn't expect to see such a thing in the Snow Country?"
Zhang Yifeng raised his eyebrows. He saw clearly the true appearance of the attacking monster at close range, and a look of surprise suddenly flashed in his eyes.
However, the monster was already approaching at this time, so Zhang Yifeng took action decisively, and the sword light flashed in the air.
Instantly, dark and smelly blood spurted out, and the monster's huge head fell to Zhang Yifeng's feet.
I saw that the monsters coming from the cold mist were the terrifying black demons wandering in the starry sky, choosing people to eat.
But according to Ji Shan's explanation, these black demons should only appear in the starry sky and specifically attack passing vendors and tourists.
At this time, these monsters appeared in the castle of Snow Country, which frightened Zhang Yifeng no matter what.
Moreover, these monsters seem to be able to avoid the natural coldness of the Snow Tribe people and move freely in this cold mist.
"Could it be that Elder Bai Mu has mastered the method of controlling these black demons?"
"Even transforming them into monsters that are not affected by the Snow Clan's cold fog?"
Zhang Yifeng thought secretly in his heart, holding his sword and looking at the black mist in front of him vigilantly.
Even though he had already killed a black demon, Zhang Yifeng could feel that there was still more evil aura lurking in the thick cold mist.
Sure enough, in the next moment, countless roars sounded one after another in the cold mist.
Through the thick fog in front of him, Zhang Yifeng could even see countless pairs of scarlet beast pupils, staring at him.
