Nian Bing smiled and shook his head, "Big brother, I'm afraid what you're seeing is just the surface. Actually, the Huarong Empire's greatest crisis isn't the Four Nations Conference, but the Kiru Empire. That's why this conference is being held. " Along the way, Nian Bing had already sorted out his thoughts, and gradually understood the meaning of the Four Nations Conference.
Rong Bing asked in surprise, "What do you mean?"
Nian Bing replied calmly, "Although the Kiru Empire was annexed, and the Huarong Empire paid a small price, the Huarong Empire didn't have to worry about the Kiru Empire. However, don't forget that because the Kiru Empire used to be allied with the Huarong Empire, the Kiru Empire's influence isn't small. Furthermore, the Kiru Empire's land area is second only to the Huarong Empire and Langmu Empire. Although your attacks had a good effect, the Kiru Empire's forces were not weak. However, the Kiru Empire's main forces might not have been wiped out. Right now, the most important thing for the Huarong Empire is to completely pacify the Kiru Empire. Annexing a country isn't something that can be done in a year or two. Right now, there doesn't seem to be any danger in the Kiru Empire. However, there will definitely be some people who aren't convinced. Perhaps there won't be any major riots, but small scale wars will continue for a long time. Just the possibility of guerrilla warfare will give the Huarong Empire a headache for a long time. In order to stabilize the situation in the Kiru Empire, there needs to be at least a legion of soldiers scattered throughout the Kiru Empire. Furthermore, they need to be elite troops. Am I right? "
Rong Bing looked at Nian Bing and suddenly laughed, "Good kid, you're really smart! Are you blaming me for not telling you the truth? "
Nian Bing shook his head, "No, of course not. We're brothers, why would I blame you? After all, I'm representing the Ice Moon Empire. We're in different camps, so it's normal for you to hold back. "
Rong Bing sighed, "It's good that you understand my difficulties. Yes, you guessed right. Right now, the one guarding the Chiru Empire is my father. He is leading all the elites of the Eastern Army to be stationed there. He is gradually reorganizing the various armies of the Chiru Empire, breaking them up and reorganizing them into our own forces, expanding the Eastern Army from one army corps to three. However, it won't be easy to make the Chiru Empire's soldiers fully submit to me. Now, all we have to do is wait for this group of troops to complete their reorganization and return to our country. I'm afraid this process will take some time! "
Nian Bing said, "If that's the case, then it's obvious. Currently, there were only two corps in charge of guarding the city. Even though the Huarong Empire was no longer surrounded by enemies from three sides, it was still under attack. However, the southern battlefront was as wide as the border between the two empires. How could two armies defend it? If the other three empires were to join forces and attack, the situation would not be optimistic. Even with his grandfather's prestige, he would still be able to fend them off. The Langmu Empire also saw this point, which was why they desperately tried to rope in the Ottoman Empire and the Ice Moon Empire. Prime Minister Grandpa Su also saw this point, so he used all kinds of situations to stall for time. Every day passed. Every day, the Huarong Empire would grow stronger. Right now, both sides are just fighting for time. "
Rong Bing said, "I'm not very clear about the specifics. Right now, I'm a soldier and only responsible for fighting. I'm not good at scheming and scheming. However, if Grandpa heard such an accurate analysis of the price, he would definitely be very happy to have a good grandson like you."
Nian Bing smiled and shook his head. "Actually, what I see is only the surface. Compared to those politicians, I'm still too inexperienced. After all, I've only been in contact with these things for a short period of time. Brother, you're right. You're a soldier. It's fine as long as you understand these things, but don't get involved. Otherwise, it'll disrupt your life and make it difficult for you to have any more happy moments. "
Rong Bing smiled bitterly. "As the successor, even if I don't want to participate, I'm afraid it won't be up to me in the future. You're the last to arrive. The emissaries from the Ottoman Empire and the Langmu Empire have already arrived. Compared to them, you're much more shabby. The Ottoman Empire is slightly better with only a few dozen people, but the Langmu Empire has a few hundred people. Only the Ice Moon Empire has sent a mere eight people. Could it be that the Seventh Prince of the Ice Moon Empire, who inherited the throne, doesn't care about this meeting? I really didn't expect this! I've seen him before. Someone as lazy as him can actually sit on the throne. "
Nian Bing said, "Although we've only sent a few people, we're all very experienced! Just that Ice Goddess Priestess alone is something the other countries can't compare to. Brother, don't underestimate anyone. Dongbei Feng isn't what you think he is. He's very capable, but he's been hiding because he didn't have the opportunity. Now that he's ascended the throne, the Ice Moon Empire will definitely develop rapidly in the future. Oh, right, who are the representatives of the various countries this time? " He thought to himself. If he told his brother that he'd brought experts who were at least at the level of Magister, he wondered what his brother would think. There was even a warrior in the room who wasn't inferior to the Ice Goddess Priestess.
Rong Bing said, "Our country's representatives are naturally Grandpa Su and our grandfather."
Nian Bing smiled, "I guessed it was them. Grandpa Su's wisdom and our grandfather's deterrence is indeed the best combination. What about the other two countries? "
Rong Bing said, "You've seen the Langmu Empire's representative before. It's Miss Mu Jing who participated in the competition last time. This time, her brother didn't come. For her to be able to represent the Langmu Empire at her age, you can see her status in the Langmu Empire. Oh, right, after you left last time, we discovered a large number of spies from the Langmu Empire. That time, the Langmu Empire lost a lot of people! Only the two siblings, Mu Rong and Mu Jing, were able to escape. However, they didn't seem to have learned their lesson last time. This time, they've brought more people than last time. I really don't know what they're thinking. Don't tell me that they think these few hundred people can do anything? "
Nian Bing said, "Every side has their own ideas. That Mu Jing isn't easy to deal with. Last time, it was only because Du Tian City was the territory of the Huarong Empire, and because my grandfather was there, that the threat they posed was easily resolved. This woman can't be underestimated. " His heart was as clear as a mirror. The reason why Mu Jing's men were completely wiped out last time was most likely related to the Blood Lion Cult that he was in charge of. Otherwise, it wouldn't be easy to find so many infiltrated enemies with just the people on the surface.
Rong Bing said, "The most unlucky ones are the Ottoman Empire. This time, they've sent a young woman as an emissary. It's not the Duke of Blue Feather who's usually in charge of big events. Instead, it's a middle-aged woman who's going to be the emissary's assistant. Their subordinates aren't strange. They're all elites of the Silver Feather Knights. However, Grandpa Su seems to value this emissary from the Ottoman Empire a lot. Only, I don't know what happened during the negotiations with the Ottoman Empire. Otherwise, I'd be able to make some judgments. "
Nian Bing smiled, "I know who the Ottoman Empire sent. Brother, just wait and see. This girl is the one who is truly amazing! Speaking of which, it was the Ice Moon Empire who pushed her to the Ottoman Empire. I haven't seen her for a few years. I wonder what she's become. "
Rong Bing said in surprise, "Nian Bing, why do you get so excited when women are mentioned? Quick, tell me the truth. Why are there three women with you? Don't tell me … "
Halogen, who'd been watching from the side, suddenly turned around and laughed, "Nian Bing is really good at this! Those three are all his wives. As his brother, I'm afraid you can't compare to him. "
Nian Bing blushed and smiled bitterly, "Brother Halogen, don't make fun of me. But, brother. They're really your sisters-in-law. You've met Feng Nu. As for the other two … "
Rong Bing was stunned. He was just guessing. He didn't expect that the three beauties were all Nian Bing's wives. He looked at him strangely. "Good, you're really strong. However, don't tell me that the other two are also as strong as Phoenix Maiden? " The situation in the Capital City is a bit chaotic. Aren't you afraid that something will happen to them? "
Nian Bing said confidently, "I'm not worried about that. It's good enough that they don't provoke others. Why would I be afraid of others provoking them? Alright, brother, you can go back first. I've already understood the situation here. In order to avoid arousing suspicion, it's better if you don't see me often. "
Rong Bing said with a smile, "Suspicion my ass. Just based on our similar appearances, it's already a big suspicion. If they want to suspect us, then they can. With our Rong family's status in the Huarong Empire, who dares to gossip about us? "
Nian Bing sighed and said, "Brother, that's what I'm worried about. The Rong family is in the limelight now. If there's a chance, I really need to have a good talk with grandfather. Go back and tell grandfather that I'm here. If he's willing to see me, send someone to send a message. I'll think of a way to go over. "
Rong Bing also knew that it wasn't good for him to stay for too long. Nianbing nodded and said goodbye to Halogen before leaving.
Lying on the bed, Nian Bing's brain spun quickly. According to Rong Bing, the instigator of Auland should be Wisdom Girl Luo Rou, while the instigator of the Langmu Empire should be Mu Jing. This is going to be interesting. I hope that the one accompanying Luo Rou will be Yu Ruyan. If that's the case, some things will be much easier to deal with. "
"Nian Bing, I'm hungry. Aren't you the instigator of that whatever country? It can't be that there's no food here, right? " Halogen closed the window and rubbed his protesting stomach.
Nian Bing smiled and said, "Brother Halogen, your appetite is growing. When we were in the Continent of Gods, I didn't see you eat so much! "
Bu Lun gave a silly smile and said, "Food is scarce there, so we naturally have to be frugal with whatever we eat. But it's different here. It wasn't easy to come to this continent where I can eat my fill. How can I treat my stomach badly? "
Nian Bing's mind flashed and she immediately remembered the porridge that Rong Bing had brought her to eat. She hurriedly said, "Alright, then let's go out and have a good meal. Today, I'll bring you to eat something new. Let's go. "
Nian Bing changed into civilian clothes and put on the bamboo hat that she had prepared beforehand. She went out with Halogen, called the three girls next door, and left the state guesthouse.
In the room on the other side of them, a mage under the priestess of the Snow Goddess saw the five of them leave from the window. He hurriedly said to the priestess, "Priestess, they've gone out. Should I follow them and take a look? "
The priestess shook her head and said, "No need. It's useless for you to follow this person. " Ever since that day when she had a simple fight with Nian Bing, she had been thinking about Nian Bing's combination of Sky Eye and Emperor Realm. She really couldn't believe that such a thing could happen, but the truth was right in front of her eyes. At that time, the pressure emitted by Nian Bing left an extremely deep impression on her. In her heart, for the first time, she doubted her position as the number one Divine Descent Master on the continent. He was also able to cast an instant forbidden spell and had the support of seven divine tools. This kind of strength wasn't something that she could easily defeat. What a young man! How old is he? To actually be able to reach such a level.
Closing her eyes, the priestess continued her meditation, but several figures appeared in her mind.
Nian Bing walked with Halogen and the three girls on the wide street. Although he had experienced many difficulties in his childhood, every time he came back here, he felt like he had returned home. After all, this was the place where he was born. His parents had also spent the most beautiful time here.
Long Ling came to the capital city for the first time. Like Halogen, she looked around excitedly. She never thought too much. After coming to the Ice Moon City with Nian Bing, she didn't even see her father. It wasn't that she didn't want to, but that she didn't dare. She was afraid that her father wouldn't let her follow Nian Bing. It wasn't easy for Nian Bing to come back alive. She just wanted to accompany him for a while. After settling Nian Bing's matter and calming down, she would find an opportunity to return to her father's side to fulfill her filial duties. Long Ling still had a grudge because of what Long Zhinan did to Nian Bing and betrothed her to the Fifth Prince. Although she didn't say it, she now saw Nian Bing as the closest person to her. This time, she followed Nian Bing to the capital city. She completely treated it as a trip. Looking at the capital city of the Huarong Empire, which was completely different from the Ice Moon Empire, she was indescribably happy.
"Nian Bing, this place is much warmer than the Ice Moon Empire. The temperature is at least twice as good!"
Nian Bing smiled and said, "Of course. This is the southernmost part of the continent. The temperature is always high. Even in winter, the plants are evergreen. The capital city is one of the most suitable cities to live in. Here, as long as you have money, you can find almost anything you want. Three beautiful ladies, you don't have to be polite with me. Yan Feng gave me a lot of money for this trip. If there's anything you like, feel free to buy it. "
Nian Bing had never had any concept of money. Although she was here for business, the meeting had not started yet. It was rare for her to bring her three beloved ladies out to play. Of course, she wanted them to be happy.
Lan Chen smiled as she followed Nian Bing. She had been cultivating with the Ice Goddess since she was young. She had a pure heart and few desires. She was not very interested in anything in the outside world. Feng Nu and Long Ling, on the other hand, were wandering around the surrounding shops. They were very happy. They did not buy anything. After all, there were too few things that caught their eyes.
After walking for a long time, they passed a street. Halogen could not help but complain in a low voice, "Nian Bing, with the speed of your two wives, I'm afraid I won't be able to find a place to eat even if I starve to death. Can't we eat something first? "For him, the most attractive thing in the Yangon continent had always been delicious food.
Nian Bing smiled and said, "Okay, let's go eat first. Feng Nu, I'll take Chenchen and big brother Halogen to eat at the congee shop where we met last time. You and Ling 'er can come find us after you walk around for a while. "
Feng Nu and Long Ling were choosing clothes in a clothing shop. Although they were wearing bamboo hats, they unintentionally emitted a noble aura. The female owner of the shop was constantly flattering them and giving them the best things to choose from. When Feng Nu heard Nian Bing mention the congee shop, she could not help but blush. Fortunately, her bamboo hat was covered by a white veil, so it could not be seen from the outside. "Okay, you two go first. We'll go find you after we play for a while. If there's anything, just blow the flute and call me. "
Nian Bing reminded her, "This is Ling 'er's first time in the Capital City. You have to look after her. Don't let her get lost."
Feng Nu laughed and said, "Do you think we're still children? How could we get lost? Go quickly. "
Only then did Nian Bing, Halogen, and Lan Chen quickened their pace and walked towards the congee shop. Because the hotel was not far from the congee shop, they arrived in front of the congee shop after a while. Just like the last time, there was already a queue. Although it was not meal time, Nian Bing and the others were still in the queue.
Halogen sniffed and smelled the fragrance coming from the shop. He asked Nian Bing said in a low voice, "Brother, how long do we have to wait before we can eat?"
Nian Bing shrugged and said, "I didn't expect this place to be so popular. Even though it's not a restaurant, there are still so many people coming to eat."
Lan Chen smiled and said, "Is the food here really that delicious? Why don't we go somewhere else? It's nearby. Sister and the others can find it if they come. "
Nian Bing smiled and said, "No, let's eat here. You should know that the congee here is very special. Think about what your husband does. If even I think it's delicious, how can it be bad? Feng Nu and Ling 'er are really good at foresight! Chen Chen, why don't you go play with them for a while. I'll line up here with Brother Halogen. "
Lan Chen shook his head and smiled. He didn't insist anymore. His cold little hand gripped Nian Bing's large hand tightly, and his shoulder pressed against Nian Bing's arm. She had always liked silence. It was rare for her to be alone with Nian Bing. Although she was standing and waiting, she still felt very comfortable. She thought to herself, 'How good would it be if we could stay like this forever!'
Nian Bing naturally did not know what Lan Chen was thinking. She looked at the congee shop. Like Halogen, she hoped to go in earlier. Suddenly, when he raised his head unintentionally, he saw a graceful figure flash past the window of the shop. His heart skipped a beat, and a faint smile appeared on his face. "It seems that we can eat this porridge in advance."
As he said that, Nian Bing held Lan Chen's hand and walked out of the line. Bing Yun said in surprise, "Why aren't we lining up again?"
Nian Bing smiled mysteriously and said, "We don't have to line up when we meet someone we know. You know this person too. Chen Chen, restore your original appearance, hehe."
Seeing Nian Bing's mischievous smile, Lan Chen's heart was filled with warmth. The Morning Dew Dagger was still in her body. Under the control of Nian Bing's spiritual power, she restored her original appearance. The three of them walked directly to the congee shop. Just as they were about to enter, they were stopped by the shop assistant. "I'm sorry, the three of you. The shop is now full. Please line up at the back. Thank you."
Nian Bing smiled and said, "No need to line up. My friend is already eating on the second floor. Please take us upstairs."
The shop assistant was stunned. "Oh, so that's how it is. Then please follow me." Under his lead, Nian Bing and the other two climbed to the second floor. The second floor was full of private rooms. When the shop assistant asked Nian Bing for the room number of the private room, Nian Bing was a little embarrassed. He only knew the approximate location. How could he know the room number? However, this was not a problem for him. He instantly spread out his spiritual power and found the exact location in the blink of an eye. He pointed to the private room and the shop assistant hurriedly led them there.
The shop assistant motioned for Nian Bing and the other two to wait. He knocked on the door of the private room a few times. A calm voice came from the room. "Didn't I say not to disturb?"
The shop assistant respectfully said, "I'm sorry, your guests are here."
"Our guests?" The voice in the room was a little surprised.
FrozenCloud glanced at the confident Nian Bing, and couldn't help but pinch his hand. She said in a low voice, "You're so annoying. Always being so secretive. Just who is in this room?"
Before Nian Bing could answer, the door was opened and a charming figure came out. Bing Yun's eyes flashed and she immediately recognized the person. It was the representative of the Hu Mu Empire, Mu Jing, who participated in the five countries' new magician competition. As soon as Mu Jing opened the door, she saw the tall Nian Bing at a glance. She was stunned. "Why are you here?"
Nian Bing smiled and said, "It's better to meet by chance. We were waiting in line downstairs when we suddenly saw Miss's figure from the window. We specially came to disturb you. Would you like to eat together?"
Mu Jing's eyes flashed, but her face showed a trace of embarrassment. "Brother Nian Bing, I'm really sorry. I'm entertaining a friend, so it's not very convenient. How about you tell me where you are? When I'm done here, Mu Jing will immediately visit you."
Nian Bing smiled and said, "I see. I haven't seen you for a long time and Miss Mu Jing has become more beautiful. I just came from the Ice Moon Empire and am staying in the State Guesthouse. If Miss is free, you can come over and sit with us. "After that, she pulled Bing Yun and turned to leave.
After hearing Nian Bing's words, Mu Jing's face suddenly changed. She hurriedly said, "Brother Nian Bing, please wait a moment."
Nian Bing turned around and smiled. "What, is there anything else?"
Mu Jing said, "You said that you're staying in the State Guesthouse. Could it be that you're the emissary from the Ice Moon Empire?"
Nian Bing had already guessed that she would have this kind of reaction. She nodded and said, "Thank you, His Majesty, for not abandoning me. I'm here as the Chief Magician, representing the Ice Moon Empire."
Mu Jing looked at Nian Bing's deep gaze and felt a chill in her heart. She said, "If that's the case, then you're not an outsider. The friend that I invited is from the Ottoman Empire. Brother Nian, please come in. We can talk." After that, she hurriedly moved to the side of the door.
Nian Bing tightened her grip on Bing Yun's hand. "Brother Halogen, I say we don't need to line up. Miss Mu Jing has always been hospitable." As she spoke, they had already entered the room.
The private room was very spacious. There was a large dining table in the middle that could seat twenty people. Other than Mu Jing, there were three other people in the room. Each of them had a small pot of porridge in front of them.
"Nian Bing?" Two of the three people in the room stood up. They were Yu Ruyan and Wisdom Girl Luo Rou, who hadn't been seen for a long time. Yu Ruyan seemed to have lost some weight, but her gaze was sharper. Luo Rou had changed a lot since the last time Nian Bing saw her. She was wearing a black dress that looked very plain. Although the dress was simple, there was a blue gem about three inches in diameter on the chest area. It shone brightly with her deep blue eyes. Her wavy hair was a foot longer than before. In order to not let it loose, it was originally hanging on her thighs. Now that she stood up, it could clearly be seen that her hair had reached her knees. The biggest change was her temperament. In Nian Bing's impression of Luo Rou, although she was full of wisdom, she seemed to be somewhat arrogant. But now, her deep eyes seemed to be a bit more calm, and her aura was much more mature than before.
"Mom, Miss Luo Rou." Yu Ruyan seemed to have forgotten that Mu Jing was beside her. In a flash, she had already arrived in front of Nian Bing. She grabbed his shoulders with both hands, and her gaze constantly flickered on his body. Feeling the surging vitality coming from Nian Bing's body, Yu Ruyan's eyes couldn't help but become moist. "Good, good. Child, it's great that you're okay."
Mu Jing stood at the side in a daze. She never thought that Nian Bing and Yu Ruyan would have such a relationship. When Nian Bing called her mom, her heart was in chaos.
"Mom." Bing Yun suddenly lifted the bamboo hat on her head and threw herself into her mother's arms. Her tears flowed uncontrollably. After a full year and a half, she finally saw her mother again. How could she not be excited? Yu Ruyan's heart was filled with joy. She held her daughter with one hand and Nian Bing's hand with the other. She was so excited that she couldn't say anything.
Luo Rou looked deeply at Nian Bing, and then at Lan Chen. Her excitement from before quickly calmed down. She walked in front of Nian Bing and smiled. "Nian Bing, long time no see."
Nian Bing smiled and said, "It really has been a long time! I've already heard of Miss' fame when I was in the Ice Moon Empire. "
Luo Rou looked deeply at Nian Bing and said, "Isn't this all thanks to you? Luo Rou hasn't had the chance to thank you yet. "
Nian Bing's eyes showed a trace of surprise. He didn't understand why Luo Rou would use her real name and not that alias. He said, "Alright, let's sit first. Don't let Miss Mu Jing see us make a fool of ourselves." As he said that, he gently pinched Yu Ruyan's hand.
Yu Ruyan finally reacted. She pulled Lan Chen to the side and condensed her douqi into a voice and said something to her.
At this time, Mu Jing's heart was in chaos. Lan Chen, no, in her heart, it was still Bing Yun. This powerful magician of the Ice God Tower was actually Yu Ruyan's daughter? Just what was Nian Bing's identity? He came as a representative of the Ice Moon Empire, but his relationship with Yu Ruyan was so close. He was also very familiar with Luo Rou, who was her archenemy. Looking at how he came in with Bing Yun, it was obvious that they were very close. A year and a half ago, they were still enemies! Chaos, everything was in chaos.
A layer of blue light rose up around Bing Yun's body. Her voice was restrained under the effect of the ice element. She was talking with Yu Ruyan, as if she had already forgotten that there were other people present. Nian Bing's eyes moved around and fell on the only stranger in the room. Seeing this person, he couldn't help but be secretly shocked. It was a handsome man who looked to be about 30 years old. He was wearing an exquisite blue warrior suit. His aura was completely restrained. On the surface, he looked like an ordinary person. If it wasn't for Nian Bing's strong spiritual power, he wouldn't have been able to discover his true aura. This person hid his strength very well. His douqi was completely condensed in his body. However, Nian Bing observed him through his Tian Yan acupoint. He found that this person was not simple. His energy strength was actually not below Halogen's. This discovery made him a little confused. When did such a martial arts master surpass the twelfth level appear in the Yangon continent? No wonder Mu Jing invited Luo Rou and Yu Ruyan to eat here and only brought him here.
Luo Rou let Nian Bing sit beside her. Halogen sat on the other side of Nian Bing. Luo Rou didn't look at Yu Ruyan and her daughter. She smiled and said, "Nian Bing, so you and Miss Mu Jing also know each other. Jingjing and I have been good friends since we were young. She even lived in our house for a long time. "It was because she saw the doubts in Nian Bing's heart that she introduced her like this.
Nian Bing felt a little strange. Since Mu Jing was the princess of the Langmu Empire, why would she live in Ice City? However, he didn't ask. He smiled and said, "What a coincidence! We are representing the three empires to participate in the Four Nations Conference. We actually met in this congee shop. Oh, Miss Mu Jing, should we ask the waiter to bring some more food? We haven't eaten yet. "
Only then did Mu Jing wake up. She really did have an outstanding bearing. Her expression immediately returned to normal. She smiled and nodded. She called the waiter over and ordered more food. As soon as Halogen entered, his gaze fell on the handsome man. The man was also looking at him. The two of them didn't give way to each other and constantly collided in the air.
Nian Bing said, "I don't know what the two ladies are discussing. I wonder if I can also participate?"
Mu Jing smiled sweetly and said, "Of course you can. Actually, we were guessing who your Ice Moon Empire would send to participate in this Four Nations Conference. I didn't expect you to come yourself. "
Nian Bing didn't seem to hear the sarcasm in her words. He smiled and said, "That's why I said it was a coincidence. Actually, I'm only an emissary. This time, the highest official sent by my empire isn't me. I'm only responsible for the negotiations. The diplomatic group will be led by her."
