The old man finally breathed a sigh of relief after watching Liu Xiong leave.
In reality, wasn't he also gambling?
The stakes were his own life.
If Liu Xiong had been more decisive, he would have died.
Fortunately, that person's reputation is indeed quite impressive.
This time, the gamble paid off.
Zhao Tiegen must have thought that Yun Wanli was dead.
Going forward, the Sanbei Chamber of Commerce will certainly remain neutral.
In fact, to ensure the Frostwolf Clan's victory, supplies from the Three North Merchant Guild were channeled into the North through various means.
Thinking of this, the old man closed the door.
I picked up my pen and wrote only one sentence.
"OP, I'm sorry!"
The signature was no longer Zou Cang, but Zhou Cang; he was never a wandering swordsman with no one to rely on.
......
Night falls in Tianbei City.
Zhao Tiegen paced back and forth in the room.
Although everything was kept very secret, he still felt vaguely uneasy.
The source of the unease may be Li Fan, or it may be the mysterious Tingfeng Tower.
Just then, the floorboards under the bed were gently moved aside.
Liu Xiong quickly emerged from the tunnel.
"President, something's happened!"
Our actions have been monitored by Tingfenglou.
I was stopped by the person in charge of Tingfenglou Tianbei Prefecture in Kangping Village...
He kept me there for three hours before letting me go...
And Li Fan, whom he brought along, said, "Things shouldn't happen more than three times..."
When Zhao Tiegen heard the news, he felt a wave of dizziness.
Something really happened!
He sat in the chair, his mind in turmoil.
He sat there for the entire night.
When the sunlight streamed into the room, Zhao Tiegen rallied.
Since Li Fan didn't directly wipe out the entire family, it means there's still room for maneuver.
The North...War!
Since we've offended the Azure Eagle Clan, let them die!
Xu Mang and Li Fan both went to the Northern Border.
Unless the Yin Corpse Sect intervenes directly, how can the Azure Eagle Clan win?
Will the Yin Corpse Sect be affected?
I don't think so!
After Zhao Tiegen made up his mind, the Sanbei Chamber of Commerce began to operate.
All the comprador caravans belonging to the Azure Eagle Clan were brought under control.
......
The northern border is vast and sparsely populated.
Add to that the frequent blizzards, and even members of the clan can easily get lost, let alone outsiders.
This was even with road signs as a guide.
If this is the case on the ground, it is even more difficult to discern directions when flying.
Even someone as powerful as a tenth-grade Dharma Image Perfection cultivator could only walk obediently in such harsh conditions.
The person at Tingfenglou was a middle-aged man named Jose.
In Li Fan's opinion, this person has one advantage: he is a good talker.
Of course, there is also a drawback, which is that he is too talkative.
Along the way, he could talk about everything from the rise of the major clans in the North to which clan's women were the most lustrous.
From him, Li Fan learned that the strongest person in the Northern Territory was Yun Feng, the leader of the Azure Eagle Clan.
Of course, he also learned that the only top expert who could rival the leader of the Azure Eagle Clan was Gu Tian, the leader of the Frost Wolf Clan.
When it comes to Gu Tian, Jose seems to have opened up a floodgate of words.
Gu Tian's life was far more legendary than any storybook.
There are two versions of the legend about his origin.
One version says he was a member of the Gucao clan, which was wiped out twenty years ago.
The reason for this is that among the many clans in the North, only the men of the Grass Clan are as slender as the women.
Of course, this is in relation to the Northern clans.
Another version says that Gu Tian was a Zhou person who had been stranded in the northern border.
There is a basis for saying this.
That means Gu Tian was speaking the official language of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Of course, none of that matters now.
Importantly, Gu Tian led the Frostwolf Clan to rise to power.
Of course, when talking about the Frostwolf Clan, we must mention the second legend.
That legend is none other than Gul'dan, the greatest warrior of the Frostwolf Clan and the undisputed third greatest warrior in the North.
His origins are as mysterious as those of Gu Tian.
His rise to power was also due to this.
In three years, he led his troops from the Frostwolf Mountains to the banks of the Blackwater River.
Ten battles, ten victories.
They killed nearly 100,000 enemies and beheaded two members of the Azure Eagle Clan who had reached the tenth rank of the Dharma Image Perfection stage.
Finally, the leader of the Azure Eagle Clan had to personally intervene to injure him.
He was also designated as the next leader of the Frostwolf Clan.
No one in the entire Frostwolf Clan objected to this.
José also shared his own views on clans in light of the experiences of these legendary figures.
The Eagle Clan, indeed, is like a totem, a majestic eagle of the North, soaring through the sky.
But even the fiercest eagle, once tamed, is no longer the supreme leader.
They are nothing but lackeys of the Yin Shi Sect.
The Frostwolf Clan, however, is not entirely like that.
They are wolves, untamed wolves.
They hid in the blizzard, their claws as fierce as the frost of the North.
They are not afraid of powerful forces, but they love peace.
In their territory, even the weakest clan has the right to survive.
They admire strength, but the strong cannot arbitrarily control the lives of the weak.
They are united and have never abandoned any member of their tribe.
This is the Frostwolf Clan!
These words were silently remembered by Li Fan.
He wrote it down not because he was interested in these things.
Rather, he felt that Jose's words made his stance too obvious!
This style of doing things is completely different from Jun Buyu.
In the hazy light, fragmented information in Li Fan's mind began to piece together.
The hand hidden in the shadows has not yet appeared.
But the clues that stretched for thousands of miles were already beginning to emerge.
......
Ten days have passed since we entered the northern border.
During these ten days, Li Fan followed Jose to five clan settlements.
The clans in these settlements were mostly inhabited by the elderly, the weak, the sick, and the disabled.
It is said that all able-bodied men have taken up arms and rushed to the front lines.
They want to keep the war at their doorstep.
The clan elders all showed friendliness when they saw José.
They brought out their homemade milk wine to entertain him.
Li Fan was also treated as an honored guest.
Of course, at night, Li Fan also experienced the hospitality of the Northern Clan.
Young women would sneak into his yurt where he rested late at night.
Then, Li Fan sent him out.
As for José, he accepts all comers.
He would leave some silver notes each time he left.
These banknotes are hard currency.
They were able to exchange quite a few things with the Great Zhou caravan.
On the way out, José would talk to Li Fan.
This is the rule in the North.
Everyone is working hard to make the clan grow stronger.
Unlike prostitutes, those girls did this for the sake of the growth of their community.
And he, José, merely contributed to the growth of these ethnic groups.
Li Fan knew that this was also Jose expressing his stance and stating his views.
Perhaps he also knew that the truth would eventually come out.
......
"Leader Li, if you go along the Xiaoniu River for a hundred meters, you will reach a new settlement."
That was a water source controlled by the White Bull Clan, and the girls there had skin as white as milk!
Besides, my two sons were there too; those two boys were as strong as calves.
Even though they don't know me, they are still my sons!
At this point, José couldn't help but straighten his chest.
Li Fan, however, was not in the mood to listen to him continue.
Because he could smell the scent of blood.
"Something might have happened!"
