"Second Grandpa, eldest brother has agreed to give up the horses to Master Qin. We can go back." Li Wanqing came over and said with a smile.
"Okay!" Li Shouyi agreed with a smile, then looked at Qin Fan and said, "Master Qin, let's set off?"
"Yes." Qin Fan nodded, and calmly mounted the tall horse that Li Wanqing ordered to lead over, ignoring the angry Li Chen, whose face was livid.
Li Wanqing turned around and glanced at Li Chen, gracefully got on her horse and took the initiative to lead the way.
The Li family's team walked for a whole day before reaching their destination.
Arctic Gate's headquarters in Beizhou is Shifeng City.
Under the brown sky, the four-meter-high ancient city wall exudes the vicissitudes of history. The mottled sword marks on the city wall seem to tell people the story of its being buried for thousands of years.
The city gate is extremely tall and has the legacy of the Qin and Han Dynasties. Qin Fan, standing under the city wall, felt as if he had suddenly traveled to ancient times.
"Second Grandpa, this is Shifeng City, the headquarters of our Arctic Gate."
Li Shouyi looked at the tall and majestic city wall and said with emotion: "The first city of the Daqian Dynasty really deserves its reputation!"
As if he was afraid that Qin Fan wouldn't understand, Li Shou looked over and explained: "The land of Beizhou is controlled by the Yunluo Dynasty and the Daqian Dynasty. Shifeng City is the richest city in the Daqian Dynasty."
"Oh? It turns out that there is secular imperial power here." Qin Fan did not expect this. He thought that this was a world where practitioners were respected.
If there was imperial power, then the situation here would probably be much more complicated.
Li Shou said: "After all, there are only a handful of practicing sects. They cannot replace tens of thousands of ordinary people. After all, there are still many ordinary people in this world, and they need a unified imperial power."
Qin Fan expressed his understanding. Although the existence of imperial power had many disadvantages, it could give ordinary people a stable and stable living environment.
Li Wanqing's voice sounded: "Imperial power is only useful to ordinary people and cannot restrain practitioners. Let's go to the city!"
"Yes." Li Shou nodded.
Li Wanqing walked in the front, still riding on her horse. When the two groups of soldiers guarding the city saw her, they all knelt down and saluted.
Qin Fan glanced at it: It seems that the North Pole Gate is quite powerful here.
The city is full of people coming and going, creating a bustling scene. There are many small vendors on both sides of the street, selling snacks and various daily necessities.
All these are not available in Lousang Town.
"Shifeng City is the most prosperous economic center of the Daqian Dynasty. It is known as the first city of Daqian. It is also the headquarters of our North Pole Gate."
"However, the forces in Shifeng City are complex. The four major sects and even the three major aristocratic families have influence here. You must be careful when doing things in the future."
Li Wanqing introduced her as she walked, but the warning in her words was very obvious.
Xiao Yiyi stuck out her tongue: "It's so troublesome! It's easier for us in Lousang Town."
Qin Fan smiled and said: "It's not easy to think simply. Just drive out all these forces."
"Big brother, this is a good idea!" Xiao Yiyi laughed happily.
Li Wanqing couldn't help but cast a look of contempt, and sneered in her heart: This kid really dares to say anything, even the emperor of the Daqian Dynasty would not dare to say such things! As soon as I bring the second grandfather to my grandfather, I will immediately find a way to drive this kid away. I must not leave such a madman behind!
While chatting, everyone quickly arrived at the headquarters of Arctic Gate.
The headquarters of Arctic Gate occupies a very large area and looks very majestic, especially the two jade lions in front of the nearly five-meter-high gate. Each stroke must have been made by famous artists, and the images are vivid and lifelike.
Li Wanqing handed the horses to the two young men who came to greet her, and said to Li Shouyi with a smile: "Second Grandpa, we're home!"
Looking at the imposing door, Li Shouyi felt a little dazed and reserved.
You will never find such a grand place in Lousang Town. He never even thought in his life that one day he would come to such a place.
Little Yiyi was the same, looking around with a pair of big eyes. In her eyes, the headquarters of the North Pole Gate is almost the same as the palace of the Daqian Dynasty.
"Sister, do you usually live in such a beautiful place?" Xiao Yiyi asked with envy.
Li Wanqing smiled and replied: "Yes, this will be your home from now on."
"Take me to meet big brother!" Li Shouyi, who quickly came to his senses, said softly. The previous fear and embarrassment were gone, replaced by a kind of nervousness that was a bit homely.
"We haven't seen each other for so many years, what has become of my eldest brother?"
Li Wanqing smiled and said: "Second Grandpa, don't be nervous. Grandpa has not changed much over the years. You will know it as soon as you see him."
Qin Fan took Xiao Yiyi and followed Li Shouyi, crossing the small bridge and running water all the way to the lobby of the Arctic Gate headquarters.
Before they could enter the hall, an old man in purple robe suddenly rushed out from the diagonal. Judging from his appearance, he looked very similar to Li Shouyi.
He strode to Li Shouyi, suddenly stopped, and looked at Li Shouyi with bright eyes.
Several times, he opened his mouth to say something, but something seemed to be stuck in his throat, and he was too excited to speak.
Li Shouyi was already in tears at this moment. He looked at the old man in front of him. Although he was dressed in fine clothes and seemed to be pampered, he still couldn't hide the impact of time. If you look closely, he was already very old.
"Brother!"
Li Shouyi cried out with tears in his eyes. This call was filled with decades of longing for him.
Li Wanqing was right. Li Beiji had not changed much. He was still the same as when the two brothers were separated, but he was much older.
"Brother!" Li BeiJi shouted loudly with tears in his eyes, and then stepped forward and hugged Li Shouyi.
The two old men held their heads and cried like two children.
Little Yiyi beside Qin Fan also secretly wiped away tears. The brothers who had been separated for decades were now reunited again. This feeling was indeed touching.
Li Wanqing's eyes were also wet, and Qin Fan saw her secretly turning her head to wipe them several times.
"Brother, how did you get here all these years?" Li Shouyi asked first.
Li BeiJi glanced around and smiled boldly: "It's a long story. I'll tell you my experience later. These are your grandson and granddaughter, right? Come here and let me have a look!"
Li BeiJi mistook Qin Fan for Li Shouyi's grandson.
Li Shouyi explained hurriedly and awkwardly: "Brother, I only have this granddaughter. This is Mr. Qin, my benefactor."
"Oh, since you are my second brother's benefactor, you must be my Li BeiJi's benefactor. Mr. Qin, thank you for protecting my second brother." Li BeiJi calmed down and said.
"It's a small effort, why bother?" Qin Fan responded lightly.
"Haha, since I am my second brother's benefactor, how can I, Beijimen, neglect me? Little brother, just ask for whatever reward you want. If I can do it, I will never refuse!" Li Beiji looked generous and generous. Make people feel friendly unconsciously.
Naturally, Qin Fan would not take such polite words seriously.
Li Shouyi naturally understood and said immediately: "Brother, Mr. Qin actually has another level of identity. He is a descendant of the Queen!"
