After the battle, Xirong was defeated and the beasts returned to the mountains.
In this battle, Xianda left corpses on the ground and finally managed to break out of the siege. The snow outside the city was also dyed blood red, with stumps and arrows everywhere.
When the woman in white returned to the city, she heard the sound of mourning.
There is no doubt that when Xirong attacks the city, although the Snow tribe resists fiercely, some people will inevitably die in battle.
At this time, some of the wounded still had arrows stuck in their bodies, and many people were squatting around the wounded. The scene was sad.
"Saint..." When people saw her, they all wiped away their tears and shouted.
Another young man said with red eyes: "Saint, Ah Shan and the others are all dead..."
Seeing this scene and hearing these words from the tribesmen, a trace of unbearability appeared on the cold and beautiful face of the woman in white. Then she closed her eyes and said, "Send them to heal quickly."
At this time, a man also walked over quickly, then clasped his fists and bent down, saluted and said: "Holy girl, the three elders please come over."
Upon hearing this, the woman in white paused for a moment, then whispered, "I understand."
Although the people of the Snow Clan are dominated by her and are very afraid of her, there are still three highly respected elders in the clan. This time, she did not accept Xirong's conditions and it was her decision to fight with them. Next, the three The elders will certainly also ask.
After settling the matters here, the woman in white took a deep breath, and then walked towards the most solemn place in the city.
That is an ancient temple, and it is also the place where people from the Snow Clan offer sacrifices.
When she arrived, the three elders had been waiting for a long time.
The three of them are all old men, with crutches in their hands, and their beards and hair are all white, but their faces are rosy and well-maintained.
Seeing her coming in, the three of them also looked over.
The woman in white stepped forward, passed over the three people, and respectfully offered a stick of incense directly above. Then she turned around, glanced at the three people and said, "If you have anything to say, please feel free to ask the elders."
She had an invisible aura that directly overpowered the three old men.
When the latter three heard the words, they first looked at each other, and then the great elder took the lead in saying: "You are the saint of my Snow Clan, and you are responsible for protecting the people. Why is this happening today?"
"There is a traitor in the clan and I have executed him." The woman said directly without any nonsense.
The three people looked at each other again, and another person said: "I heard that before the war started, Xirong sent an envoy to bring gold and silver silk and satin to discuss with you. Why should you not respond and instead let my people go through this bloody battle?"
Hearing this, the woman in white glanced at the old man and asked: "What the second elder means is that gold, silver, silk and satin are more important than the life and death of my people?"
"No, I didn't say that, I was just asking you." The old man returned.
"Okay." The woman in white said, "This battle is not my intention, but my clan's. I cannot agree to Xirong's conditions."
"What do they want to do?" the third elder couldn't help but ask.
"They want me, the Snow Clan, to take them through the snow-capped mountains." The woman said, "The purpose, without a doubt, is to raid Xiping Pass. If I agree, this won't be the case right now."
"But your decision..." said an elder.
"My decision was not wrong." The woman interrupted him directly and said in a calm voice: "First, although our Snow Clan is isolated from the world, we are also Chinese people. They entered the border and killed my Chinese compatriots?"
"Secondly, once Xiping Pass is lost and the Xirong cause massacres in Qin, the Qin army will inevitably counterattack. When the time comes, won't they come to settle accounts with me, the Snow Clan? By then, it will be a disaster!"
"One more thing, Xirong has figured out where our people live. Once they enter Xiping Pass, will they allow us here in the future?"
She talked so much in a row, thinking carefully and calmly, and she hit the key points in just a few words.
After hearing this, the three elders all frowned and began to ponder one after another.
It wasn't until a while later that the great elder said: "Then what are you going to do next? After this defeat, Xirong will definitely make a comeback. By then, it will not be this small number of troops. I am afraid it will be an army of 100,000. By then we will How can the clan resist?"
The woman thought for a moment and then said: "I will go out in person to meet the Lord of Qin."
"you mean……"
"The Snow Clan didn't want to participate in any fight, but disaster is imminent. We can only defeat the enemy by cooperating with Lord Qin," the woman said.
After hearing this, the great elder sighed slightly and said, "Well, you are a saint. Your decision will determine the fate of my Snow Clan. I hope you will be cautious."
"Don't worry, elders, I will do it." The woman in white responded, then nodded slightly to the three of them, turned and left.
Looking at her back, the three old men all sighed, and someone said: "Hey, this child Lianying is still a big girl, but she is the saint of the Snow Clan. She is in trouble..."
The woman in white is as old as Hua'er, less than twenty, but she shoulders the mission of the tribe. She looks cold as ice, but few people know the pain in her heart.
After coming out of the temple, she also directly called one of her subordinates and told him: "Immediately take some tribesmen and secretly go to the vicinity of Beiling to monitor Xirong's every move. If there is any situation, report to me in time."
After saying that, she warned again: "Remember, this time is related to the safety of the whole family, so be careful and don't expose your whereabouts."
The Snow people make a living by hunting in the mountains, and there is no need to talk about their lurking skills.
When he heard this, the man immediately straightened his face and responded in a trembling voice: "Understood! Saint, don't worry, I'll take care of it right away."
As he spoke, he bowed and left.
This man, named Lin Chu, is a leader among the young people of the Snow Clan, and is also the most capable person under the Saint.
Next, she arranged some things for others. After everything was explained, she also held the jade flute and left the small town alone.
Time passed little by little, and she was alone, walking leisurely in the white snow. The surrounding mountains were full of ferocious beasts, but at this moment, they all stayed away.
In the evening, she finally walked out of the snow-capped mountains and arrived at Xiping Pass.
Qin army camp.
At this time, preparations were being made here on the eve of the war, and the defense was very tight. In front of the military camp, a team of captains and halberd soldiers could be seen patrolling back and forth everywhere.
"Stop, whoever is coming!" Therefore, before the woman could get closer, the Qin army's sentry stopped her.
Seeing this, the woman in white stopped and said in a calm voice: "I am a saint from the Snow Clan. I have something to ask of the Qinzhou Prefect. Please let me know."
The soldier said nothing because he was stunned.
The woman in white is so beautiful.
The beauty is like otherworldly fireworks.
"What are you waiting for?" She frowned secretly.
ah? The soldier came to his senses.
Snow tribe saint?
Are there really snow tribes?
After reacting, he swallowed subconsciously. He had heard about the governor's entry into the snow mountain before. Moreover, in the eyes of the local people, the Snow Clan was just a rumor.
Therefore, he did not dare to delay and said quickly: "Girl, please wait here, I will inform you immediately."
