199: Daqian War

After making arrangements here, he went to Snow Wave City for an inspection.

Under Sophia's governance, Snow Wave City was full of exotic scenery. Sophia had built Snow Wave City into an impenetrable fortress. Although this girl was young, her political methods were extremely tough. He didn't know how she did it, but she managed to make the entire Barbarians world, from top to bottom, listen to her.

Duoduo, the Orc Chief, was even more obedient to her every command.

If it weren't for being able to see Sophia's loyalty at 90 in the system, Han Huohuo would have almost suspected that this girl had thoughts of rebellion.

It had developed well, and she had also helped Han Huohuo find many rare minerals. Besides mechanical guards, Sophia herself had trained a powerful nun army in Snow Wave City. The nun army possessed the healing ability that mechanical soldiers lacked most, so Snow Wave City attracted a large number of Barbarians to settle in.

Han Huohuo's principle was that the city's public security forces were controlled by the Lord themselves, but the city defense forces were all mechanical soldiers, unified and commanded by Han Xin.

The nuns were Snow Wave City's public security force, and they were quite unique.

Han Huohuo saw an Orc kneeling and begging a nun to quickly arrest him. The nuns went up and kicked and punched, driving away this shameless Orc.

Han Huohuo's eyelids twitched.

The city's permanent residents were only Orcs and Barbarians of pure human blood. Barbarians of other races were not allowed to settle here; this was Han Huohuo's rule.

Sophia accompanied her boss along the exotic-style streets, all the way to the northern city wall.

The city's scale was already very large; the entire Oasis was within the city, and the central lake was like a pearl in the Wasteland.

Han Huohuo looked north, in the direction of the Ice Field Canyon.

"Pay close attention to the northern Ice Field. If there's any disturbance there, report it to me immediately."

"Huh? Ice Field? Did Lord get some intelligence?"

"Intelligence from a few hundred years ago. I don't know if it counts."

Han Huohuo rubbed his nose.

Sophia pouted, showing an expression that said he was joking.

Han Huohuo also felt he was being neurotic. For hundreds of years, the northern Ice Field had been very calm, and the area covered by that crack should be limited.

Han Huohuo did not plan to go to the Ice Field immediately to search for the time-space shard, because something had happened again in the Great Qian Empire.

The warlord He Jin had occupied the Capital City, using the Son of Heaven to command the various Lords, but all the Lords in the world were unconvinced. Over a hundred large and small Lords began to march towards the Great Qian Royal City.

He Jin was extremely panicked and actually sent a letter to Han Huohuo in the Old Emperor's name, demanding that Han Huohuo quickly come to rescue the emperor!

This was a bit too much of a joke. Han Huohuo wasn't a citizen of Great Qian. Did he have to go just because he was told to rescue the emperor?

Han Huohuo inspected his various territories for a week, returned to his bandits Chief office in Tongtian City, and saw this official letter.

After reading it for a long time, the tone was quite arrogant.

Han Huohuo wondered if this He Jin was crazy? How dare he order him around like that? Looking at the signature, it was indeed the Old Emperor's seal, but everyone knew that He Jin had written it himself.

Over a hundred Lords were divided into three factions, led by three major powers. Among them, the Lords of the Southeast coast were the most powerful, and their leader was named Sun Yong.

The Northeast Lord had the fewest minor Lords under him, only fifteen, but his family had been Dukes for ten generations, even extending from the previous dynasty, a very established and old-line Lord with deep roots. The current head of the family was named Gongsun Leopard.

The most bizarre was the Southwest Lord, who was unified by an unknown minor figure named Cold Blade. This person was extremely cruel, and all the aristocratic families in the Southwest who refused to submit were massacred by him. His origin was unknown.

As soon as Han Huohuo heard this name, he couldn't help but laugh, knowing that this guy, like himself, was an external Lord.

I'm familiar with this name!

Han Huohuo sighed, the little bandits from back then was now gradually stepping onto the stage of hegemony.

As for the Northwest region, Li Dingbei was dead, and all the cities had long been ravaged by the Barbarian King. No decent army had been organized here.

The remaining few warlords were not strong enough and only knew how to guard against Han Huohuo all day, not daring to raise an army to the Royal City.

However, Han Huohuo did not intend to get involved in the muddy waters. After much thought, participating in this chaotic situation would not benefit him.

Wouldn't it be better for me to sit on the sidelines and watch the tigers fight when they start their Central Plains War?

Setting up a small stool to watch the show, how enjoyable that would be.

Mu Jiu sat pitifully in front of him, looking at him aggrievedly, her eyes brimming with tears. Han Huohuo couldn't help but sigh.

It's over, I'm addicted to women, I must be a muddled ruler!

"After all, he is my father. After this Central Plains War ends, no matter who wins, he will surely die."

"So, you want me to help?"

"Mm!"

Han Huohuo thought for a moment. This Old Emperor was actually not a good person. He was arrogant, had a bad character, low intelligence, and couldn't distinguish between loyal and treacherous. Thinking it over, he couldn't even think of any advantage he had.

If he hadn't caused the Grand Marshal's death, how would these Lords dare to be so arrogant? He destroyed his own family's pillar; he deserved to die.

But no matter what, he was still his father-in-law.

If he were killed by someone else, he would lose face.

"Let me think about it. The situation is too complex. Even if we want to save him, we need a foolproof plan. We can't act rashly, lest we fail to save him and get ourselves dragged in instead."

Mu Jiu heard Han Huohuo's tone, which indicated he intended to save him, and immediately beamed with joy. She quickly leaned in and hugged Han Huohuo affectionately.

Her soft body, passionate as fire.

Girls all over the world are drama queens. Han Huohuo finally discovered a truth.

Just then, Liu Qiang suddenly came and knocked on the door. Mu Jiu's face was flushed, and she quickly got up, straightened her clothes, and walked over to open the door.

Liu Qiang entered, his eyes fixed on his nose, his nose on his mouth, and his mouth on his heart, not raising his head. Clearly, he understood not to see what he shouldn't see.

"Lord, Manager Qian from Tulip is here and wishes to see you!"

They were old acquaintances. Han Huohuo knew that Manager Qian held an extremely high position in Tulip and was also one of its shareholders. The wealth he controlled could rival a nation.

There could only be one reason for this guy to seek him out: business.

"Please invite him in. Take him to the reception room first; I'll be right there."

"Yes, Lord!"

Manager Qian's face was beaming. He had recently made a fortune from the war and was in high spirits. Money from the dead was the easiest to earn.

Liu Qiang led him in and took him to the reception room.

Even though Manager Qian was well-traveled, he was still shocked to see the spotless, jade-white office space.

With his discerning eye, he couldn't even discern the material of this building.

Especially since it was peak summer outside, and just walking a few steps would make one sweat profusely, yet it was surprisingly cool inside Han Huohuo's miraculous building. He looked left and right but couldn't see where the ice was hidden.

It was truly ingenious.
