The Great Snowuards and 10,000 taels of gold, but he had to go to the capital of Shu-lik to get theWenshi+ was quite satisfied with this arrangeo to Shu-lik together with hiendary stories he had read about counselors but failed to find any historic precedent for a situation like this Usually, a counselor would go alone to lobby the ene success several days later As no one would be able to knohat the counselor did during the several days, the counselor could always brag about his prowess as a lobbyist As to the financial support offered by the lord, the counselor could spend the money as he wished and even keep part of it for hi Wenshi+ was pretty sure that he would not be able to earn a lot during this trip
“Erive ood idea for you to leave the Great Snowmountain now, since the situation here isn’t very stable,” Fang Wenshi+ said to the Dragon King, trying to persuade him to stay behind
“Counselor, it’s not that I want to supervise your activities It’s just that I have to be personally present in the city to withdraw the 10,000 taels of gold,” said Gu Shenwei
Fang Wenshi+ could not refute such an argu As for the unstable situation in the Great Snowht it over and ly
With the help of the giant red-crowned roc and his superb kung fu skills, Gu Shenwei had brought the five tribes of the Great Snowo, but he ell aware that the swordsainst one another Once he left, a trivial disagreeht lead to the restart of tribal wars
Despite that, Gu Shenwei still decided to leave for Shu-lik, since he had co reasons to do so First of all, no one else could withdraw the 10,000 taels of gold Secondly, he had to find a way to ensure there would be adequate military supplies for his ar Wenshi+
He had o
Before his departure, he appointed Long Xiaoshi+, chief of the Danduo tribe, as teest nuest of all the five tribes, the other tribal chiefs had no objection to this decision After that, Gu Shenwei designated Long Qinying, chief of the Luoshen tribe, as supervisor of the arave him only one task, which was to ensure that the arht the Shu-lik army, no matter how the enemy tried to provoke then his most i people would work as his guards, and in the es As all of Long Qinying’s direct descendants had been killed during the previous tribal wars, he picked a capable young nated the on King on his journey
Apart from the successors of the trial chiefs, Gu Shenwei asked each tribe to select two children under 10 to follow him to the capital of Shu-lik “The Golden Roc Fort likes to steal children from the Great Snowmountain and train them to be professional killers Why can’t we train our own killers and let our children fight for the Great Snowmountain?” said Gu Shenwei
Soon,Gu Shenwei selected 10 of theuards traveling with Fang Wenshi+ and they consisted of the successors of the five tribal chiefs, 10 future killers, the Dragon King and his two teenage guards None of the Wenshi+ Even the coach swords for the counselor except driving the horse-drawn carriage
Everyone on the tea Wenshi+ had to sit beside his food, which was a pile of jerky, inside his carriage This kind of food was s his stay in the Dragon King’s base cae of starvation, but after beco the military counselor of the Great Snowher standards for his food
After losing three battles, Shu-lik was busy a new troops and did not have any plan to attack the Great Snow and his team traveled peacefully in the wilderness for two days On the third day of their trip, when they stepped onto the main road, they had to hide their heavy swords inside the carriage since there were many other travelers on that road
With the swords placed inside, the free space inside the carriage beca Wenshi+ had to sit still to avoid being wounded by the weapons
When they arrived at a town, Gu Shenwei hired two carriages to transport the ten children Beyond his expectations, this caused a little trouble for him The children fro by coaches and insisted on walking by themselves In the end, it was the five future tribe leaders who persuaded theot all of theerly looked forward to working as a lobbyist, took all these teuise, except for one thing: the silence in the team Sometimes, he found it really hard to endure the trip, for he had no one to talk to The Dragon King was a man of feords, and so were his swords a word Only Tie Linglong, a lively girl, often chatted with the irl like her could not understand Fang Wenshi+’s political and military analysis As she wasWenshi+ searched his memory for quaint nairl Apart fro, he could only keep hison his jerky
On the 13th day of their trip, the team finally saw the capital of Shu-lik in distance After finishi+ng eating his last piece of jerky, Fang Wenshi+ said to his lord, “Dragon King, please forgiveso blunt, but we really can’t enter the city like this”
“Why?” asked Gu Shenwei
“Look at all these people, excluding you, of course Everyone can tell at a glance that they’re from the Great Snowmountain I’m afraid that we’ll be put into prison before we meet any powerful people in this country”
“Don’t worry I’ve prepared for such a situation”
Upon hearing that, Fang Wenshi+ could not ask any further questions regarding this situation, but he still doubted that his young lord had got everything ready beforehand
