Chapter 5439 Not My Race
"Huh? What's wrong?"
Zhang Yifeng raised his eyebrows, thinking that the Snow Clan warrior seemed to have something else to say.
"Ah, nothing."
The Snow Clan warrior shook his head upon hearing this, with a dejected look on his face.
"When the Empire and our Snow Country clashed, everyone except the Snow Tribe members who left early was captured by the Empire."
"I think Mr. Zhang should now know the hatred between us and the Empire, and should be able to imagine the fate of those who were captured!"
The Snow Clan warrior sighed and said.
Zhang Yifeng fell silent when he heard the voice. Judging from the relationship between the Empire and the Snow Country, he could easily imagine the fate of those captured Snow People.
In such a silent atmosphere, Zhang Yifeng didn't know what to say.
In this way, he followed the Snow Clan warrior all the way to the main hall deep in the castle.
"Mr. Zhang, the Great Elder is waiting for you in the hall, please come in."
The Snow Clan warrior lowered his head, walked forward, gently pushed open the door of the palace, and waited aside.
Zhang Yifeng, adhering to the idea of making the best of it, nodded at him, then pushed the door open.
Looking up, he saw Qin Wu sitting at a round table in the hall.
Seeing Zhang Yifeng coming, Qin Wu stood up and nodded with a warm smile on his face.
"I wonder what the Great Elder wants to discuss with me this time?"
Zhang Yifeng also nodded in return, then sat down at the other side of the round table and asked.
"Since Mr. Zhang is willing to give me a favor and come in person, then I will naturally not hide it from you."
"I just want to know what Mr. Zhang thinks of Her Royal Highness the Princess?"
"Could it be that Mr. Zhang and Her Royal Highness the Princess fell in love at first sight?"
Qin Wu stroked his long snow-white beard and looked at Zhang Yifeng with gleaming eyes.
"what?"
Zhang Yifeng frowned slightly and looked at Qin Wu with an expression of incomprehension.
Of course he understood what Qin Wu said, but he couldn't understand the source of Qin Wu's remarks.
He kept his distance from Wan Renxue from beginning to end, let alone expressing any love for her.
Why on earth did the great elder of the Snow Clan feel that he was in love with Wan Ren Xue?
Seeing Zhang Yifeng's puzzled expression, Qin Wu's expression froze, and he immediately realized that he might have misunderstood the other party.
"Well, it seems that I have misunderstood Mr. Zhang."
"I just think that Mr. Zhang has no relationship with the princess, so why would he help the princess to such an extent?"
"Not to mention... he also secretly helped Her Royal Highness the Princess to subdue a group of Snow Clan warriors under Elder Bai Mu."
Qin Wu stroked his long beard and looked at Zhang Yifeng deeply.
"The Great Elder is really amazing. He even knows about this kind of thing."
"But the reason I did this was to borrow the noble's secret treasure."
Zhang Yifeng's brows relaxed, and from Qin Wu's words, he figured out why Qin Wu misunderstood that he was in love with Wan Renxue.
It seems that Qin Wu had secretly known about his plan to ask Qinggu and others to join Wanrenxue last night.
However, Zhang Yifeng was upright and had nothing to fear, so he immediately explained away the misunderstanding in a calm manner.
"The secret treasure of my clan?"
Qin Wu's eyes moved, and based on the inference that Zhang Yifeng had given to Wan Renxue, he quickly guessed which secret treasure Zhang Yifeng needed.
"Mr. Zhang should know that if we want to use that thing, we have to wait until Her Royal Highness the Princess ascends the throne."
Qin Wu pondered, looking at Zhang Yifeng with a meaningful look in his eyes.
"Of course, this is also the main reason why I stayed in the Snow Country."
"Although the ten elders are now in control of the Snow Country's political affairs, I am confident that I can help Princess Wan regain the throne."
Zhang Yifeng spoke calmly, not at all afraid of Qin Wu's eyes which had already revealed a gloomy look.
Qin Wu stared at Zhang Yifeng deeply for a while, and suddenly the gloom on his face disappeared.
"Hahaha, Mr. Zhang is indeed a strange man."
"I am curious about what method Mr. Zhang is going to use to help Her Royal Highness ascend the throne?"
"Mr. Zhang should be well aware that the internal struggle in the Snow Country is very fierce."
"Even though I am a pro-prince, I still don't dare to directly push Her Royal Highness to ascend the throne."
At this time, Qin Wu had put aside his pride as the great elder, and began to ask Zhang Yifeng for advice like a student who was eager to learn and ask questions.
Zhang Yifeng couldn't help feeling surprised when he saw him like this.
"We cannot tell anyone about this for now, but you can rest assured, Great Elder."
"When I succeed, the Snow Country will receive a gift that is hard to refuse."
"And this gift is enough for Princess Wan to ascend the throne of the Snow Country."
Zhang Yifeng spoke in a mysterious tone, and his words successfully aroused Qin Wu's curiosity.
"Oh? Such a generous gift really makes me look forward to it."
Qin Wu did not ask what the gift Zhang Yifeng was talking about, but just smiled and nodded.
As a thorough pro-prince faction, Qin Wu naturally wanted to see the day when Wan Renxue ascended the throne.
Especially relying on Wan Renxue's own strength to become the king of the Snow Country, he lived up to Qin Wu's expectations.
The reason why Qin Wu had not allowed Wan Renxue to ascend the throne was that he was worried that she could not guarantee her own safety.
But now with Zhang Yifeng's help, Qin Wu had a feeling that the young man in front of him might really be able to help Her Royal Highness the Princess successfully and safely keep the throne.
"Mr. Zhang..."
Just when Qin Wu was about to say something, there was a hurried knock on the door outside the hall.
Qin Wu frowned when he saw this and swallowed back the words he was about to say.
"come in."
Qin Wu said calmly, and his face once again showed the dignified look of the Snow Clan's great elder.
At the same time, the door of the hall was quickly pushed open, and two figures walked quickly into the hall.
"Great Elder, it's not good!"
Qu Hun raised his head, swallowed his saliva and shouted urgently.
When Qin Wu saw that the person who came into his palace was Qu Hun, a strange look appeared on his face.
"Elder Qu Hun, what happened to make you so panicked?"
Qin Wu asked in a deep voice, signaling Qu Hun to calm down.
"Great, Great Elder, I just received a notice saying that traces of the imperial army were found on the border!"
Qu Hun gritted his teeth and said in panic.
"What? Elder Qu Hun, are you sure the message you received was correct?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Wu suddenly stood up from behind the round table and looked at Qu Hun with a serious expression.
"Great Elder, you know the intelligence-gathering abilities of my warriors. They definitely can't be wrong."
"According to the latest intelligence, this group of imperial soldiers should be here to explore the border of the Snow Country."
"I think behind them, there are more imperial soldiers approaching the Snow Country!"
Qu Hun spoke nervously, clenching his fists tightly.
