Chapter 5438: Framing Zhongliang

"Your Majesty, thank you for your praise. I will definitely not let you down!"

The figure in the dark was half-kneeling on the ground. Even though he tried to appear calm, he could not hide the excitement and excitement that was visible to the naked eye.

After all, this has been recognized by his father, the man who ranks above everyone else in the Tianyu Empire.

"So, how do you plan to get rid of Qingbei Hou?"

The emperor gradually restrained the smile on his lips, stared at him meaningfully and asked.

"I have already instigated several people to rebel in the army of Qingbei Marquis. After the army marches to Snow Country, they will find the right opportunity to kill Qingbei Marquis with one strike!"

The prince in the dark spoke in a deep voice and told the emperor his plan.

Upon hearing this, the emperor on the dragon throne showed a look of disappointment on his face.

"It seems that you still need to hone your skills. The strength of Qingbei Hou cannot be dealt with by a few small fish and shrimps."

"But you are so scheming and dare to attack Qingbei Hou. You are indeed very courageous."

"In that case, I will help you deal with Qingbei Hou this time."

The emperor glanced sideways and exchanged glances with the prince in the dark.

"Thank you very much, father!"

The prince in the dark was shocked, but he quickly reacted and knelt on the ground and saluted the emperor.

"Oh, don't let your father down!"

The emperor chuckled and looked at the prince in the dark with loving eyes.

But hidden beneath the emperor's loving gaze were extremely cold eyes.

At the same time, Qingbei Hou, who finally got the emperor's approval, officially led his army and set off towards the Snow Country on countless warships.

In just one night, Qingbei Hou had mobilized his troops from all directions.

But as a subject, Lu Ji would not act rashly even if he was furious.

This is also why he had to go to the palace and get the emperor's approval before setting out to conquer the Snow Country.

There is no need to say much about Lu Ji's loyalty to the Tianyu Empire and the royal family, but perhaps even he himself did not expect that the royal family would be so hostile to him.

When they arrived at the imperial city's dock, the other idle flying boats on the dock had already been dismissed and the entire dock was blocked.

At the dock, countless soldiers in iron armor had gathered, staring at Lu Ji who was approaching with burning eyes.

"Greetings, Lord Qingbei Hou. This time, I will avenge the young marquis and flatten the Snow Country in one fell swoop!"

A group of soldiers half-knelt on the ground and shouted loudly at Lu Ji.

"Get up, now, and set out to attack the Snow Country!"

Lu Ji suppressed the rage in his heart and waved his hand to signal the soldiers to stand up.

No matter how furious he was, Lu Ji was still clear about his identity: he was the Qingbei Marquis of the Tianyu Empire.

Although this expedition to the Snow Country was to avenge Lu Shang's death, Lu Ji also wanted to eliminate the hidden danger of the Snow Country for the empire.

Under the protection of his personal guards, Lu Ji boarded the warship.

The rest of the soldiers also boarded the warships in batches and in an orderly manner, heading towards the Snow Country.

Lu Ji stood at the bow of the warship, staring into the distance, with angry murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

However, Lu Ji, who was immersed in his hatred for the Snow Country, did not notice the murderous intent that flashed in the eyes of the guards behind him.

While Lu Ji was commanding the warships to the Snow Country, the situation within the Snow Country was not very peaceful.

Zhang Yifeng, who had rested for a night in the Snow Country Castle, had just seen off the girl who had slept in his bed all night.

As soon as the other party left, there was a knock on Zhang Yifeng's door.

"Are you a warrior from the Snow Country? What is the matter that brought you to me?"

After Zhang Yifeng opened the door, he saw a warrior from the Snow Country standing outside.

"You must be Mr. Zhang, right?"

"The Great Elder heard that Mr. Zhang provided a lot of help to Her Royal Highness the Princess in the Empire, so he wanted to invite him to come and have a chat."

The Snow Clan warrior outside the door looked at Zhang Yifeng carefully for a while, then whispered his purpose.

"This... If the Snow Clan's Great Elder invites me, there is no reason for me to refuse."

Zhang Yifeng nodded slightly, and then signaled the Snow Clan warrior in front of him to lead the way.

As soon as Zhang Yifeng walked out, Xuanyuan Li, Ji Dali, and even Yue Fang followed closely behind him.

"I'm sorry, three of you. The Great Elder has only invited Mr. Zhang to go."

The Snow Clan warrior paused when he saw this, turned around and spoke calmly.

"Who knows what you are going to do to Yifeng!"

Ji Dali crossed his arms and did not trust the ideas of these Snow Tribe people at all.

Although Xuanyuan Li on the side didn't say anything, there was also a look of suspicion in his eyes.

As for Yue Fang, who had just joined the team, although he had no say in this matter, he still subconsciously wanted to protect Zhang Yifeng's safety.

One reason was that Zhang Yifeng saved his life, and the other was that he still needed Zhang Yifeng's help to find the whereabouts of his master.

At this critical juncture, Yue Fang absolutely did not want to see anything happen to Zhang Yifeng.

"Please be patient. I believe in the character of this Snow Clan elder. Just wait here for me to come back."

Zhang Yifeng waved his hand, indicating that the three people didn't need to be so nervous.

With Zhang Yifeng's instructions, the solemn expressions on Xuanyuan Li and the other two's faces slowly relaxed.

The pressure that had been secretly exerting pressure on the Snow Clan warrior was also withdrawn by the three of them.

"Hello, Mr. Zhang, please."

As the three men withdrew their pressure, the Snow Clan warrior also breathed a sigh of relief and felt much more relaxed.

Just now he felt as if he was being pressed down by three huge mountains, and even breathing was difficult.

"I'm sorry to trouble you, Your Excellency."

Zhang Yifeng bowed and followed the Snow Clan warrior closely, walking deeper into the castle.

"You are polite, sir."

This Snow Clan warrior was quite knowledgeable about etiquette and immediately returned Zhang Yifeng's salute.

Seeing that Zhang Yifeng was so reasonable, the Snow Clan warrior was no longer as indifferent as he was at the beginning.

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhang. The Great Elder invited you over just to have a chat with you."

"In this Snow Country, apart from the Great Elder, the other elders are probably not so easy to talk to."

The Snow Clan warrior who led Zhang Yifeng shook his head and said this with a look of regret on his face.

"Just now I noticed that your words and actions were quite polite, which seemed to be a little different from other warriors in the Snow Clan?"

Zhang Yifeng raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but ask after hearing what the Snow Clan warrior said.

"Mr. Zhang has a keen eye. I once studied in the academy in the Tianyu Empire for a period of time."

"However, the relationship between the Snow Country and the Empire became increasingly strained. Before I finished my studies, I was forcibly sent back to the Snow Country by the Imperial Family."

"It's a good thing I left early, otherwise I would have..."
