Cold Clouds

Chapter 388 Xiao Dongzhou

Ding Cun's imperial system was roughly like this: under the imperial power were the nine major clans and three major tribes, below which were the vassal regimes of various small kingdoms, below which were various second- and third-rate clans, followed by the regions within each kingdom, and below which were various cities and clans.

Lin Xiaoxiao settled the matter with the Icefield Clan, and returned to the royal city with Song Hanyun, bringing the new plug-in and the news that the Icefield Clan agreed to help.

"So? Do you mean there is still work for us to do?" Lin Xiaoxiao's face turned ugly when she heard Ding Cun's words.

"Uh...indeed." Ding Cun scratched his head and said.

People really laugh when they are speechless.

Lin Xiaoxiao smiled for two seconds, then immediately put away her smile and looked at Ding Cun with a bad look on her face: "No, don't you have anyone else to do your bidding?"

She had always believed that Ding Cun had ruled the entire upper world for a thousand years and had many capable people under him. Why was he trying to take advantage of her now? Divine gold.

"This... some of my subordinates are on the border with Luo Tianhe's forces, some are rebuilding Qianfang Continent, and some are guarding the Hongmeng Qi. The rest are in the Royal City and the surrounding areas for defense. I really can't spare many manpower," Ding Cun said helplessly, "At worst, I can pay you!"

"OK, deal." Lin Xiaoxiao immediately shook Ding Cun's hand when she heard this.

Everything is easy if you get paid.

In short, according to Ding Cun's words, the people of Xiaodongzhou seemed to be a little wavering in their stance, and some wanted to get closer to Luo Tianhe.

The so-called Xiaodongzhou is one of the vassal states included in the huge empire of Ding Cun mentioned just now. At the beginning, a group of guys speaking a strange language came to seek asylum. It happened that a long chain-shaped island appeared on the edge of Dongzhou and was named Xiaodongzhou. They were arranged there. As a result, after a while, the cultivation level of one of them increased rapidly, and he clamored for independence.

In the end, due to Ding Cun's terrifying power, that group of people chose to enjoy a certain degree of autonomy under Ding Cun, paying tribute every year, and the name of the country was not changed, and it was called Xiaodongzhou.

Hmm... it feels a little familiar. Lin Xiaoxiao touched her chin and said, "So... we just need to beat up their current leader?"

"Well... it's better to solve it peacefully, but if they are really disloyal..." Ding Cun narrowed his eyes and said, "We should do what we should do."

"Okay." Lin Xiaoxiao made an OK gesture, having already thought about how to beat the other person up.

But I always feel a little familiar... Shaking her head without thinking too much, Lin Xiaoxiao first went to find Lin Long to chat for a while, and then took Song Hanyun to set off again.

"Sister Xiaoxiao~" Ye Lan rushed over and hugged Lin Xiaoxiao, stuffing a bunch of things into Lin Xiaoxiao's arms one by one, "This is the Nine Revolutions Soul-Restoring Pill, this is the Heavenly Thunder Talisman, and this is the Heavenly God Soul-Descending Scroll..."

"Okay, okay, I'm not going into any dangerous place, no problem, no problem," Lin Xiaoxiao patted Ye Lan's head and sighed, "You, do your job well."

"Hehehe~" Ye Lan smiled a little silly, walked away briskly, and waved to Lin Xiaoxiao, "Goodbye, Sister Xiaoxiao."

As soon as Ye Lan left, another head popped out from the pillar next to her.

"Sister Liu Xiao..." Jin Tao blinked her eyes, looking a little timid.

"What are you doing? Why are you huddled here? Am I scary?" Lin Xiaoxiao rubbed Jin Tao's face.

"Um... no..." Jin Tao smiled foolishly after being rubbed by Lin Xiaoxiao, "It's just Sister Liu Xiao... um... should I still call her Sister Xiaoxiao?"

"You can call me whatever you want," Lin Xiaoxiao said with a smile, "There is a lot of spiritual energy in the royal city, so practice well."

"Yeah." Jin Tao nodded and ran away immediately.

When Lin Xiaoxiao turned around, she saw Song Hanyun staring at this place. When he saw her looking over, he looked away.

Ha, interesting man. Lin Xiaoxiao smiled and touched Song Hanyun's head: "Bend down a little, it's too high."

Song Hanyun didn't say anything, but still bent down obediently, reaching a height that Lin Xiaoxiao could reach without having to stand on tiptoe.

Yo, you're blushing? Interesting.

Lin Xiaoxiao's smile became brighter and brighter, and Song Hanyun did not resist and just let Lin Xiaoxiao touch his head.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Ye Yuxie, who had spent seven days working hard, saw the two men here as soon as he opened the door. The corners of his mouth twitched, "Aren't you going on a mission?"

"Let's go now~" Lin Xiaoxiao withdrew her hand and walked away, while Song Hanyun followed her.

Ye Yuxie rolled his eyes, turned around and went to the cafeteria to get some fruit to eat.

……

At this time, Nyarlathotep, who was sitting in the bracelet, looked a little unhappy.

As soon as he entered the bracelet, his visual and audio connection with the outside world was cut off by Lin Xiaoxiao. Now he can only sit in this dark space and can do nothing.

This is a huge loss. If it keeps on like this, wouldn't it become a large power bank? The kind that can be used at any time? Is it a power bank that he travels here on public funds?

He couldn't stand it anymore. There was no loophole to exploit. He shouldn't have agreed to let Lin Xiaoxiao take full control of the audio-visual connection. But if he didn't agree, Lingbao Tianzun and the others would not agree to let him come...

So sad... He was so sincere... Oh... I am speechless...

Try to forcefully break the restriction and connect? I guess he will be caught right away, right? Tsk… Nyarlathotep squatted in the same place, constantly changing into various incarnations to entertain himself.

Of course, Lin Xiaoxiao also didn't know what Nyarlathotep was doing in the bracelet, but she didn't care about it. After all, just like what Nyarlathotep himself thought, in Lin Xiaoxiao's view, Nyarlathotep was indeed an oversized external power bank that could be used at any time...

After flying for a distance, Lin Xiaoxiao saw a sea area and could vaguely see the shore on the other side of the sea.

Of course, this was only possible because Lin Xiaoxiao had a high level of cultivation and could see the other side of the sea. In fact, they were still some distance away from their destination.

Well, it will only take a short while to get there. Lin Xiaoxiao yawned, bought some snacks with Song Hanyun in the city, and then took off again.

Of course, the main reason was that Lin Xiaoxiao was greedy.

But roasted chestnuts are really fragrant. Lin Xiaoxiao peeled a chestnut and stuffed it into her mouth, then peeled another one and stuffed it into Song Hanyun's mouth.

They ate while traveling, and after finishing a bag of roasted chestnuts, they arrived at "Xiaodongzhou". They showed the token given by Ding Cun, and the guys flying up made way.

"Special envoy, I'm sorry for you!" The guy who looked like the squad leader said, "The emperor's investigation is within the case."

"Oh, okay, okay..." Out of politeness, Lin Xiaoxiao agreed subconsciously, then she paused and looked at the team leader.

Ok?
