50: You and I, brother, don't have to do this.

Not long after leaving the Manor,

Xie Weilou met Lin Qinghuang.

Lin Qinghuang looked at Xie Weilou and said indifferently, "Aren't you going to Snow Wolf Valley with the Zhenxi Marquis Manor's entourage?"

Xie Weilou shrugged and said, "Do I dare to follow? What if I get killed halfway?"

Lin Qinghuang said blandly, "That's right! This trip to Snow Wolf Valley is fraught with danger. If you go alone, you'll surely die. You wouldn't be that foolish. I suppose you plan to follow the First Prince's group."

"Smart."

Xie Weilou nodded with a smile.

Of course, he had to follow Yan Junlin's group. Last night, he was attacked by someone with ill intentions, so today he should go and offer some warmth.

Lin Qinghuang pondered, "I'm not going to Snow Wolf Valley. You take care of yourself."

Xie Weilou looked at Lin Qinghuang, "I think you will definitely go to Snow Wolf Valley."

Lin Qinghuang narrowed her eyes, "How can you tell? I'm not considered a noble of Tianqi City, and Second Hall doesn't have a guard mission either."

Xie Weilou said seriously, "You definitely can't bear to let your future husband go to his death!"

"......"

Lin Qinghuang was speechless; she had never seen such a narcissistic person.

"Be careful of the First Hall's people."

Lin Qinghuang said, then turned and left.

She indeed had to go to Snow Wolf Valley this time, because according to the information she had, a key person from Wuya Pavilion would also be going to Snow Wolf Valley, and she needed to find an opportunity to pry open his mouth.

However, on this trip, she would operate in the shadows.

Xie Weilou smiled indifferently and walked forward.

Not long after,

Xie Weilou arrived on a wide road in front of the Imperial Palace.

Several exquisite carriages were parked there, all pulled by Snow Treading Spirit Horses with wings. These Snow Treading Spirit Horses were extremely fast and strong, capable of traveling fifty thousand kilometers a day.

On both sides were numerous iron cavalry clad in armor and holding long spears.

Inside a carriage,

Yan Junlin walked out. When he saw Xie Weilou, a smile appeared on his face: "Brother Xie!"

Xie Weilou cupped his fists, "Greetings, First Prince."

Yan Junlin quickly helped Xie Weilou up, and said earnestly, "We are brothers, there's no need for such formality."

Xie Weilou smiled and said, "So many people are watching, we still need to observe basic etiquette."

Yan Junlin's expression became stern, "What etiquette? Between you and me, it doesn't exist. I haven't properly thanked you for what happened yesterday."

Xie Weilou asked, "This morning, I heard that the First Prince did something big last night. I knew the First Prince was a generous person."

Yan Junlin whispered, "Brother Xie, to be honest, I did do something big last night, but I also suffered serious injuries!"

Xie Weilou said with a serious expression, "Don't worry! From now on, Zhenxi Marquis Manor will fully support you."

A grand promise must be made!

"Understood, understood."

Yan Junlin's smile grew even wider. The beating he took last night, why did it make him feel even more comfortable?

He said with a smile, "Brother Xie, ride in my carriage! I'm not at ease with you going to Snow Wolf Valley with others."

"Then I won't be polite."

Xie Weilou nodded slightly.

Afterward, Xie Weilou boarded Yan Junlin's carriage. The carriage was very spacious, with many Restriction runes, and inside were tea sets, with a maid currently pouring tea.

"Depart!"

Yan Junlin commanded.

The Spirit Horses accelerated forward, their wings flapping, pulling the carriage upwards. The carriage did not shake and was extremely stable.

The carriages on the side followed suit.

At the same time,

In different parts of the city, many carriages soared into the sky, quickly catching up with Yan Junlin's entourage.

Inside the carriage,

"Brother Xie, our destination is not directly Snow Wolf Valley, but rather Northern Border, where we will rendezvous with the Great General of Zhenbei."

Yan Junlin said with a faint smile.

Xie Weilou held a cup of fragrant tea, took a sip, "Then let's just go for a stroll!"

"It's just a formality. Just treat it as a trip to have fun, don't worry about anything else."

Yan Junlin said with a smile.

Although he said that, he knew that Xie Weilou would encounter many assassination attempts on this trip. Once they left Tianqi City, many people would have room to act.

However, Yan Junlin knew that Xie Weilou had a powerful expert behind him, so he wasn't too worried about Xie Weilou's safety.

......

Half a day later,

The main force arrived outside Northern Border City.

Northern Border was frozen for thousands of miles, with perpetual ice and snow, making it extremely cold.

The thirty-meter-high city walls were covered in thick ice crystals, adding a silvery white hue to their original grey color. An ancient grand array sealed the city, making it extremely difficult for foreign invaders to breach.

On top of the city walls stood numerous soldiers clad in armor, like ice sculptures, unmoving.

Northern Border was an extremely important city for Dagan. It was the second line of defense in the north of Dagan, standing in the north to resist the invasion of northern demon tribes.

Over the years, the demon tribes had broken through the first line of defense several times, but found it very difficult to break through the second line, because here resided the Great General of Zhenbei and three hundred thousand Zhenbei Army soldiers.

On the city wall,

At this moment stood a middle-aged man in black armor. He had a dignified demeanor, and a terrifying aura emanated from him.

This middle-aged man was precisely the Great General of Zhenbei, the City Lord of Northern Border City, Mu Bei, a Dao Repository Realm Peak expert.

He once wielded a Demon Slaying Sword, slaughtering many demon tribes, intimidating all directions, and was extremely formidable.

Mu Bei saw the carriages approaching and said in a deep voice, "Open the city gates!"

Rumble!

The heavy city gates were opened. Northern Border City was sealed by a grand array, and entering from above would require withdrawing the array, but Mu Bei clearly wouldn't do such a foolish thing.

The carriages entered the city in sequence...

Inside the city,

"Greetings, First Prince!"

Mu Bei led a group of soldiers in a salute.

"General Mu, there's no need for such formalities."

Yan Junlin quickly stepped forward to help him up.

Mu Bei said, "I have already arranged a banquet at the City Lord's Manor. Everyone, please follow me to the City Lord's Manor, and we can discuss the situation in Snow Wolf Valley then."

"Thank you, General Mu."

Yan Junlin nodded slightly.

------

City Lord's Manor.

Inside a grand hall, various fine wines and delicacies were laid out.

Everyone sat in order, men on one side, women on the other. The entire hall held about a hundred people, meaning all the young people present today were of extraordinary status.

Xie Weilou sat beside Yan Junlin. He played with a wine cup, his gaze falling upon Su Muxue on the ground.

"......"

Su Muxue noticed Xie Weilou's gaze, and a hint of disgust appeared on her face.

She immediately glared at Xie Weilou, but found that Xie Weilou had already shifted his gaze, now staring at another woman in a goose-yellow down skirt.

That woman was also not simple; she was the Third Princess, Yan Ruyi.

Seeing this, Su Muxue couldn't help but show a look of disdain. Had this guy never seen a woman before?

Yan Ruyi was very beautiful, with large eyes, an oval face, and a small canine tooth at the corner of her mouth. She was currently bored, lieing on the table, drawing circles with her hand.

"Hmmph!"

Seeing Xie Weilou look over, she bit her canine tooth and glared fiercely at Xie Weilou.

Xie Weilou smiled and drank the wine in his cup, but in his heart, he was pondering.

Yan Ruyi gave the impression of being lively and cute, carefree and very innocent, but she was definitely not as simple as she appeared. As a member of the royal family, how could she be simple?

At this moment, some people were staring at Xie Weilou, such as several princes, Xiao Ce, and Xie Wushang. There was no unusual expression in their eyes; even if they had any thoughts, they would not show them in front of everyone.

"Princess has arrived!"

A voice sounded from outside the hall.
