Chapter 159: Priest
In the snowy land hidden from the world, the country's gates were finally opened because of the war.
As an ally, the Jing Kingdom's army was led by the Snow Region Envoy into the Snow Region. The silver-haired, blue-eyed residents were quietly discussing this powerful army on the streets.
They seldom saw people from other countries in the country, and while they were amazed, they also smiled and thanked Emperor Jing for his generous help.
The envoy quickly arranged for several generals, including Manhuang, Yanyu, and Zou Tao, and Xingzhi also came along. He had already gone back to Taoism to visit his relatives.
The messenger politely said, "Please take a rest. I will go and inform the high priest that the distinguished guests have arrived."
Yu Yu was surprised: "High priest?"
The messenger smiled gently and said, "The Lord of the Snow Region is the most mysterious being in the Snow Region. Apart from the high priest and the attendants who convey the oracle for the Lord, no one knows anything about the Lord. So I'm sorry that my Lord cannot come to greet you in person."
Yanyu waved her hands quickly: "Where, where!"
He was just curious about the high priest.
The envoy was also happy because he had invited reinforcements, and his attitude became more lenient: "In terms of status, the high priest is only below the Lord. In the Snow Region, he is admired and loved just like the Lord. Recently, the high priest happened to return to the Snow Region, so he will come to receive you in person. This is the sincerity that the Snow Region can express."
After saying this, he bowed and left. The people in the room drank some tea to quench their thirst. Zou Tao then asked hesitantly, "Manhuang is from Ze country, right?"
The bronze body, bulging muscles full of explosive power, and the strong and upright figure are simply the standard of Ze people. But even in Ze, Savage is one of the tallest.
Manhuang's dark eyes turned to his colleague and he said dully and honestly, "General, don't worry. I have been Emperor Jing's man for a long time."
Yanyu also laughed and said, "Don't worry that Manhuang can't attack his compatriots. The moment Zeguo turned his back on him and abandoned him, they no longer had any ties."
Manhuang told him that he was a slave of Ze State who was sold from one place to another and was finally rescued by his master.
Zou Tao scratched the back of his head embarrassedly: "I worry too much, hahahaha."
Manhuang said honestly, "It's okay."
Because the Lord trusted him.
It is precisely because of trust that there is no such doubt as Zou Tao.
This is more important than anything else.
The Snowland is just like the name of the country, and the temperature is as cold as winter. There are snow-capped mountains here that are so tall that they seem to connect with the sky. The blue sky is on the top of the mountain, just like the silver long hair and blue eyes of the people in the Snowland.
The messenger walked quickly to a magnificent palace with silver and white as the main color and blue as the decoration. This was the prayer room where the high priest was praying for the Snow Region.
The messenger whispered to the maid guarding the door: "The reinforcements from Jing Kingdom have arrived. Please inform the high priest."
The maid was delighted to hear the news. She nodded and tiptoed into the prayer room.
By chance, the man's last syllable faded away, presumably meaning that he had finished praying.
The maid whispered, "High Priest, reinforcements from Jing Kingdom have arrived."
The man knelt before the statue, his white robes spread out on the ground like layers of snow lotus blossoming on the mountaintop.
He had an ice-blue forehead ornament between his brows, his silver hair was slightly curled at the ends, his long eyelashes as white as snow and cicadas trembled slightly, and his eyes, as blue as the sea and sky, slowly opened.
Noble and sacred and inviolable.
The High Priest of Snowland.
Warm New Year gift.
"Is it Emperor Jing himself who leads the army?"
This was the first question he asked after he opened his eyes.
The maid lowered her head and answered respectfully, "No."
"Is that so?"
Wen Suili stood up, took off his priest's clothes, and changed into ordinary casual clothes.
He has an immortal demeanor and a peerless appearance.
This was the first reaction of Yu Yu and others when they saw him.
At this moment, Yu Yu has not yet realized the seriousness of the matter.
The person in front of him is his master!
His master's master was right in front of him!
Yu and the others introduced their names one by one, but Wen Sui did not need to, because he was the same as the Lord of the Snow Region, so others only needed to call him the High Priest.
After a round of greetings, Yunyu took the lead in speaking up and striving for the initiative: "High Priest, Emperor Jing also wants to ask Xueyu for help with something."
Anyone with a discerning eye could notice that when the word "Emperor Jing" was heard, the aura around this man who looked approachable but had a sense of alienation became slightly softer.
Even her eyes, which were filled with stars, were filled with a faint smile, which made Zou Tao feel doubtful.
It wouldn't be that all the important people you meet are acquaintances of Your Majesty, right?
He still can't forget the look in the eyes the ministers gave his Majesty during the Jingyue Battle!
Wen Suili said kindly, "Please speak."
"If we win this war against Zeeland, we will need to sign a ceasefire treaty with us and encourage the other two countries to do the same."
The young man said calmly, "What do you think, High Priest?"
Yan Yusheng is handsome, with a gentle and harmless temperament. He is like a stream flowing quietly under a bluestone bridge. He makes people not feel on guard at all, but instead makes people feel calm and focused.
But this water would always silently condense into water blades, killing people without a trace and being extremely confusing. This was why Jun Lin took a fancy to him.
Wen Suili saw the danger of incitement beneath that warm appearance. If he really refused, it would be difficult to get rid of this young man.
Fortunately, he doesn't.
This treaty is not only beneficial to Jingguo, but also to the current Snow Region.
Wen Suili nodded and said, "Okay, how many years does Emperor Jing want to buy?"
After receiving the affirmative answer from the other party, the young man's slightly tense back finally relaxed: "At least one year."
Wen Suili nodded: "That's not difficult."
The defeated country has no say, and it is easy to deal with Ze State. It is not difficult to deal with Yue State, which is in cahoots with Ze State. Once the four countries agree, the only remaining Southern Xinjiang will naturally not act independently.
But all this is based on the premise that they can win this war.
As if he had seen through his doubts, Manhuang, who had been silent the whole time, spoke with unstoppable pride: "High Priest, don't worry. With the Dajing Iron Cavalry here, any enemy army can be defeated."
Hearing the voice, Wen Suili couldn't help but look at Manhuang a few more times.
He remembered Manhuang. Junlin had told him many times before that she had adopted a strong and loyal subordinate.
