Chapter 5422 Supervision
Zhang Yifeng looked back at Ji Shan with a hint of tentative doubt in his eyes.
If the king of the Snow Country was assassinated and this matter was related to the Imperial people, then it would make sense for these Snow People to resist Ji Shan and his men.
"Mr. Zhang, I don't know what these people are talking about."
"Regarding the assassination of the Snow Country's king, I think no one in the empire knows about it except for the royal family."
"Even if this was done by the Empire, it was done by the royal family. What does it have to do with us commoners?"
Ji Shan saw the doubt in Zhang Yifeng's eyes, and immediately took a step forward and explained with a calm expression.
"Huh? Who are you? Do you have the right to speak here?!"
The white-haired middle-aged man raised his eyebrows, glanced coldly at Ji Shan, and said with disgust.
"I am Ji Shan, the chief treasurer of the Ji Family Chamber of Commerce."
Upon hearing this, Ji Shan revealed his identity with a calm expression.
However, upon hearing this, the white-haired middle-aged man and the Snow Clan warriors he brought with him suddenly showed strong hostility on their faces.
"So it's you, this guy!"
"You stole our Snow Tribe's treasures, and now you dare to come back!"
"Suffer to death!"
A Snow Clan warrior next to the white-haired middle-aged man roared, drew the scimitar at his waist and was about to chop at Ji Shan.
At the critical moment, a figure flashed out and quickly stood in front of Ji Shan.
The same scimitars collided, but the man who attacked Chao Jishan was forced to retreat several steps.
"Guangyu, what are you doing? You are protecting the wanted criminal from our Snow Country!"
The white-haired middle-aged man gritted his teeth and took a step forward, staring at the man who was protecting Xia Jishan.
The person who stepped in to stop it at the critical moment was Guangyu, who had previously been at odds with the Ji family.
However, at this moment, it was he who first took action to protect Ji Shan.
"Elder Bai Mu, the Ji family was brought back by the princess, so the princess should have the final say on how to deal with them."
"Now you want to kill the Ji family based on your own words, isn't that a bit too arrogant?"
Guangyu stared at Bai Mu with his eyes fixed. Facing the pressure from the Snow Clan elder, he showed no intention of retreating.
"Okay, Guangyu, it seems that you are determined to go against me!"
"To go against me is to go against the entire Council of Elders. You really have the guts!"
Bai Mu shouted coldly, and a ball of light gathered in his palm, ready to attack Guangyu in public.
As a member of the Council of Elders, Bai Mu could not allow his reputation to be tarnished in front of everyone.
Since Guangyu dared to contradict him, he must be prepared to pay the price!
Just when Bai Mu was about to take action, a loud laugh suddenly came from the air.
"Hahaha, the princess is finally back. I've been waiting for her for a long time."
Soon, a figure was seen falling from the sky, along with dozens of Snow Clan warriors.
Zhang Yifeng turned his gaze and looked at this person.
He looked old with white hair and beard. He was stroking his long beard and looking at Wan Renxue with satisfaction.
As for the Ji family and other imperial people, although the old man did not even look at them, he did not show any hostility either.
"Elder Qin Wu, you..."
Seeing Qin Wu coming, Bai Mu's originally aggressive look suddenly became much weaker.
The energy that was originally gathering in the palm of his hand disappeared without a trace in an instant.
"Why, Elder Bai Mu, aren't you excited to see the princess return?"
Qin Wu turned around, looked at Bai Mu deeply and asked.
"of course not!"
When Bai Mu heard this, he felt his scalp tingling and shouted anxiously.
"That's all, isn't it? As for who the princess brought back and how to deal with them, we might as well wait a little longer."
Qin Wu chuckled, and the serious expression on his face immediately relaxed.
Bai Mu lowered his head with a gloomy look on his face.
He was confident that he could deal with Wan Renxue, but he was not sure that he could defeat Qin Wu right now.
Qin Wu is the great elder of the Snow Clan and holds most of the power in the Council of Elders.
The most important thing is that Qin Wu is a die-hard fan of the royal family, which means he will definitely support Wan Renxue to ascend the throne in the future.
He is also Bai Mu's biggest enemy in the Snow Clan.
He had previously asked the man in the light curtain for troops and weapons in order to use them against Qin Wu.
However, the troops and weapons have not arrived yet, and Bai Mu has no capital to turn against Qin Wu.
Faced with his strong pressure, Bai Mu had no choice but to retreat.
"Elder Qin Wu is right. I actually think so as well."
Bai Mu slowly lowered his head and agreed in a deep voice.
At the same time, other elders of the Snow Clan also arrived.
After landing and seeing Qin Wu and Bai Mu, some of the elders bowed to them.
There are ten elders of the Snow Clan, except Qin Wu and Bai Mu.
There were five people sharing the border with Qin Wu, but only three with Bai Mu.
This is also the reason why Bai Mu is always cautious when facing the Great Elder Qin Wu.
"Princess, I heard that you have retrieved the treasures of the clan during your trip?"
After Qin Wu looked at Bai Mu deeply, he turned around and asked Wan Renxue with a smile.
"That's right, Great Elder. I have brought back the lost treasure of our clan on this trip."
Wan Renxue immediately took out the jade that he had taken back from Ji Huanying and presented it to Qin Wu and his men.
Looking at the precious jade in Wan Renxue's hand, Qin Wu's eyes suddenly flashed with a gleam of light.
"As expected, the princess is worthy of being the one who inherited the king's bloodline."
"Even though she is a girl, she can still show the bravery of the Snow Clan royal family in times of danger!"
Qin Wu said with a big laugh, stroking his beard, and then looked towards the Ji family and other imperial people.
"Princess, although you have brought back the treasure, the matter of these imperial people becoming citizens of the Snow Country still needs to be discussed carefully."
"After all, the relationship between the Empire and the Snow Country has long been irreconcilable. I am worried that this is a conspiracy by the Empire."
"Princess, why don't you arrange for them to stay in the fortress for the time being and wait until we can come to a conclusion tomorrow?"
Seeing the treasure being brought back, Qin Wu looked at the Ji family and others, and a hint of thought flashed in his eyes.
However, in order to ensure the safety of the Snow Country, he still felt that a round of discussions was necessary.
"Then Renxue followed the instructions of the Great Elder and took everyone back to the castle to rest."
Wan Renxue showed no resistance when he heard this, but just nodded in response.
Soon she led everyone in the Ji family back to the flying boat and headed deep into the Snow Country.
Zhang Yifeng had been following Wan Renxue, and he noticed that there were only a few Snow Clan warriors present.
When most people looked at the Ji family and other imperial people, there was undisguised hostility in their eyes.
Zhang Yifeng knew that the relationship between the Snow Country and the Empire was extremely bad, but he never thought it had reached this point.
Even an ordinary Snow Clan warrior cannot seem to tolerate the existence of the Imperial people in his eyes.
