Chapter 5439: Not of my kind
"Hmm? What's wrong?"
Zhang Yifeng raised his eyebrows, listening to the Snow Clan warrior's words, which seemed to have something to say.
"Ah, nothing."
The Snow Clan warrior shook his head upon hearing this, with a lonely look on his face.
"It was when the Empire and our Snow Country had a conflict. Except for the Snow Clan people who left early, everyone else 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.
Zhang Yifeng was silent after hearing this. Just looking at the relationship between the Empire and the Snow Country, he could completely imagine the fate of those captured Snow Clan people.
In such a silent atmosphere, Zhang Yifeng couldn't say anything more.
In this way, he followed the Snow Clan warrior and came straight 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, stepped forward and gently pushed open the door of the hall, and then waited aside.
Zhang Yifeng, adhering to the idea of making the best of a good situation, nodded to him, and then pushed the door of the hall open.
Looking up, he saw Qin Wu sitting at the round table in the hall.
Seeing Zhang Yifeng coming, Qin Wu stood up with a warm smile and nodded.
"I wonder what the elder invited me to discuss this time?"
Zhang Yifeng also nodded in return, and sat down at the other side of the round table and asked.
"Since Mr. Zhang is willing to give me a face and come in person, then I will naturally not hide it from you."
"I just want to know, what does Mr. Zhang think of Her Royal Highness the Princess?"
"Could it be that Mr. Zhang and Her Royal Highness fell in love at first sight?"
Qin Wu touched his snow-white long beard and looked at Zhang Yifeng with a gleam in his eyes.
"What?"
Zhang Yifeng frowned slightly and looked at Qin Wu with an incomprehensible look on his face.
He naturally understood what Qin Wu said, but he couldn't understand the source of Qin Wu's remarks.
He had kept a distance from Wan Renxue from the beginning to the end, not to mention expressing any admiration.
Why did the great elder of the Snow Clan think that he was in love with Wan Renxue?
Seeing Zhang Yifeng's puzzled look, Qin Wu's expression also paused, and he immediately realized that he might have misunderstood the other party.
"Well, it seems that I misunderstood Mr. Zhang."
"I just think that Mr. Zhang has no relationship with the princess, why would he help the princess to such an extent."
"Not to mention... he secretly helped 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 elder is really amazing. He even knows about this."
"But the reason I did this is to borrow the secret treasure of the nobles."
Zhang Yifeng's eyebrows relaxed. From Qin Wu's words, he figured out why he misunderstood that he liked Wan Renxue.
It seems that Qin Wu had secretly known that he asked Qinggu and others to join Wan Renxue last night.
But Zhang Yifeng was upright and had nothing to fear. He immediately explained the misunderstanding calmly.
"The secret treasure of my clan?"
Qin Wu's eyes moved. Based on Zhang Yifeng's help to Wan Renxue, he quickly guessed which secret treasure Zhang Yifeng needed.
"Mr. Zhang should know that to use that thing, he must at least wait until Her Royal Highness the Princess succeeds to the throne."
Qin Wu pondered, looking at Zhang Yifeng with a deep look in his eyes.
"Of course, this is also the main reason why I stayed in the Snow Country."
"Although the ten elders are in control of the Snow Country's political affairs, I am confident that I can help Princess Wan regain the throne."
Zhang Yifeng said calmly, not afraid of Qin Wu's eyes that had already revealed a haze.
Qin Wu stared at Zhang Yifeng for a long time, and suddenly the haze on his face disappeared.
"Hahaha, Mr. Zhang is really a strange man."
"I am curious, what method Mr. Zhang is going to use to help Her Royal Highness ascend the throne?"
"Mr. Zhang should know that the internal struggle in the Snow Country is very fierce."
"Even though I am a pro-prince faction, I still dare not directly push Her Royal Highness to ascend the throne."
Qin Wu had already put down his self-esteem as a great elder at this time, and asked Zhang Yifeng for advice like a student who was eager to learn.
Zhang Yifeng looked at him like this, and couldn't help but feel surprised.
"I can't tell anyone about this for now, but the elder can rest assured."
"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 said in a mysterious tone, and this statement 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, so as to live up to Qin Wu's expectations.
The reason why Qin Wu did not let Wan Renxue ascend the throne was that he was worried that she could not guarantee her own safety.
But now with the help of Zhang Yifeng, Qin Wu had a feeling that the young man in front of him might really help the princess successfully and safely keep the throne.
"Mr. Zhang..."
Just when Qin Wu was about to say something, there was a sudden knock on the door outside the palace.
Qin Wu frowned when he saw this and swallowed back the words he was about to say.
"Come in."
Qin Wu said calmly, and the majestic look of being the great elder of the Snow Clan appeared on his face again.
At the same time, the palace door was quickly pushed open, and two figures quickly walked into the palace.
"Great Elder, it's not good!"
Qu Hun raised his head, swallowed and shouted urgently.
Qin Wu had a strange look on his face when he saw that the person who came into his palace was Queen Quhun.
"Elder Quhun, what happened to make you so panicked?"
Qin Wu asked in a deep voice, signaling Qu Hun to calm down.
"Sir, Great Elder, I just received a notification that traces of the imperial army were found on the border!"
Qu Hun gritted his teeth and said in a panic.
"What? Elder Quhun, are you sure the message you received is correct?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Wu suddenly stood up from behind the round table and looked at Qu Hun solemnly.
"Great Elder, you know the ability of my soldiers to collect intelligence. There is absolutely no way they can get it wrong."
"According to the latest intelligence, this group of imperial soldiers should have come to explore the border of Snow Country."
"I guess there are more Imperial soldiers approaching Snow Country behind them!"
Quhun said nervously and clenched his fists hard.
