Chapter 5424 Meeting
"Mr. Zhang, you don't know that the situation in Snow Country is very complicated."
"Although I am a princess, I don't have any real power."
"It's probably because my father has been looking forward to giving birth to a prince, and my father is in his prime, so it's not the right time for me to build up my own power yet."
"I'm only surrounded by a few guards including Guangyu."
Wan Renxue smiled bitterly and shook his head to explain.
Her father was in his prime when he was assassinated, and since he only had one daughter, he was wondering if he could give birth to a son to succeed the throne.
No one would have thought that the King of the Snow Country, who was in his prime, would be assassinated because of the treacherous scheme of the imperial people.
Given Wan Renxue's current situation, he could only allow the ten elders to form a council and temporarily take over the king's authority.
"Princess Wan, aren't you afraid that these ten elders will rebel and seize your throne?"
After hearing the explanation, Zhang Yifeng frowned and asked in a deep voice.
"It shouldn't be the case. All ten elders are loyal to my father."
"Especially with the great elder Qin Wu in charge, I don't think there will be any accidents."
"It's just that although the Great Elder is loyal to the royal family, he thinks that I am too young to be in charge of the entire Snow Country."
"Unless I grow to a certain level, the Great Elder will not allow me to ascend the throne and become king."
Wan Renxue couldn't help but smile bitterly as she spoke. She also knew that the Great Elder had absolutely no intention of rebelling against her.
But the Great Elder Qin Wu is a very stubborn person. Unless it is necessary, everything must be done according to his plan.
"is it?"
Zhang Yifeng groaned, and a serious look flashed in his eyes.
He didn't think there was any problem with this great elder.
On the contrary, Zhang Yifeng felt that there might be something fishy about the white-haired middle-aged man named Bai Mu.
"Princess Wan, you'd better be careful tonight. I'm worried that something might happen."
After thinking for a while, Zhang Yifeng spoke in a serious tone.
"This...Mr. Zhang, don't you need to use the power of the royal treasure to find Sister Su's whereabouts?"
Seeing that Zhang Yifeng did not mention what happened just now, Wan Renxue could not help but ask.
"Forget it, let's stay in Snow Country to deal with the Ji family's affairs for now."
"As for my matter, maybe it can be resolved once everything is settled."
Zhang Yifeng shook his head and already had a general idea in his mind.
According to Wan Renxue's words, it is now impossible to use that thing to find Su Zhirou's whereabouts.
Although this elder is very loyal to the royal family, he is stubborn.
If you want to change his mind, you need to let Wan Renxue master enough power.
As for how to help Wan Renxue, Zhang Yifeng already had a rough idea in his mind.
As long as everything goes smoothly, I think it won’t be long before Zhang Yifeng can let Wan Renxue ascend the throne.
Then we can use the treasures of the Snow Clan to find Su Zhirou's whereabouts.
"Sorry, Mr. Zhang."
"As long as there is a chance, I will try my best to ask the Great Elder to agree to this matter."
Wan Renxue bowed to Zhang Yifeng with an apologetic look on his face, then walked out of the room.
Seeing this, Xuanyuan Li and the other two outside the door immediately walked into the room.
"Yifeng, the look in the eyes of Elder Baimu of the Snow Clan that I saw earlier seemed to contain murderous intent."
As soon as he entered the door, Xuanyuan Li cast a spell to block the outside prying eyes, and then spoke in a deep voice.
"Well, I also noticed that this person seemed to have some ulterior motives."
"I'm afraid tonight will be uneasy."
Zhang Yifeng nodded slightly. There was always murderous intent and greed in Bai Mu's eyes, and he could see through it at a glance.
However, as he was in a foreign land at the moment, and because of the Snow Clan’s strong hatred for the Imperial people, Zhang Yifeng could not say these things to their faces.
He had already guessed that Bai Mu might send people to attack Ji's family at night, so now he could only make preparations in advance.
"Xuanyuan, go and help set up the formation at the door of the Ji family's room, and inform them not to go out easily."
"Da Li, you keep watch in the dark. If anyone gets close to here, keep a close eye on them."
Zhang Yifeng instructed the two in a deep voice.
"it is good."
Xuanyuan Li and Ji Dali responded, then walked out of the room and began to make arrangements in the corridor.
Zhang Yifeng took out a lot of things from the room and began to set up a formation in the room.
He still didn't know what Bai Mu was going to do, so he could only respond with the most cautious attitude.
Time passed bit by bit.
At this time, Qin Wu and other elders were holding a meeting at the other end of the castle, discussing how to deal with the Ji family members brought back by Wan Renxue.
"Great Elder, the Snow Country will never tolerate the existence of the Imperials. I propose that all of these Imperials be killed!"
"Then send the bodies back to the Tianyu Empire to let them know that we have seen through their sinister intentions!"
"It is absolutely impossible to use tactics to disintegrate the Snow Country from within!"
Bai Mu spoke fiercely, his eyes looking directly at Qin Wu who was sitting in the main seat.
Qin Wu frowned when he heard the voice, and after thinking for a while, he shook his head.
"Don't act rashly. Although I don't agree with letting these imperial people join the Snow Country and become citizens of the Snow Country."
"But killing them just like that and even sending them back to the empire is really too cruel and inhumane."
"We in the Snow Country are different from those cruel guys in the Empire. Doesn't such behavior mean that we have fallen into the evil path just like the people of the Empire?"
Qin Wu righteously spoke and rejected Bai Mu's proposal.
Bai Mu lowered his head slightly when he heard this, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
Fortunately, he had no intention of eliminating the Ji family through this meeting.
After secretly calculating the time, Bai Mu's mouth curled up in a strange arc.
The people he sent to massacre the Ji family should be arriving soon.
"Elder Bai Mu, I know you were once injured by the Qingbei Marquis of the Empire, but there is no need to be so hostile to all the people of the Empire."
"We might as well gather these imperial people in the castle and keep a close eye on them at all times."
"After a while, when we are sure they are alright, we will discuss whether they should stay or go."
At this time, an elder spoke in a calm voice.
Bai Mu did not listen to the rest of the elder's words. Only the name Qingbei Hou was deeply imprinted in his mind.
"What did you say? Qingbei Hou is nothing but a despicable villain!"
"If he hadn't sneaked up on me, I wouldn't have been defeated by a nobody like him!"
Bai Mu seemed to be stimulated by something. He slammed the table, stood up, and roared with bloodshot eyes.
"Elder Bai Mu, please calm down. You are losing your composure."
Qin Wu frowned when he saw this, and after first admonishing Bai Mu, he turned to look at the elder who spoke and signaled with his eyes.
