After determining the policy of using water to control water, Ning Shiting quickly listed the most important places that needed to be strengthened based on the map of Xizhou.

In addition to the hundreds of important storage locations for elixir and panacea in Xizhou, the most important place is the Zhengzhou City Gate of Xizhou.This is the most important transportation hub and transfer station for Xizhou to connect with the other Eight Great Immortal Continents. The heavy snowstorm blocked it for a long time, people inside could not get out, and people outside could not get in.The things destroyed in the storm could not be repaired in time, and those who were harmed by the snow demon's cold breath could not receive timely medical treatment for a while, and there was a lot of grief.

For two days, no one in Prince Qing's Mansion could contribute.However, it is reported that the people of the Immortal Chang's Mansion organized their manpower as early as the night when the heavy snow fell, and guarded the gate of Xizhouzhou City day and night, trying their best to resist the wind and snow at this pass.

It's been so cold for the past few days that the blue birds don't come here. The news was brought back by the white wolves.

On the first quiet morning after King Qing's Mansion became an ice city, everyone moved back to their own residences after being busy in the middle of the night, and operated as usual. , to help prepare for the reconstruction of their homes.

There was no one in the academy, and the wind and snow outside were still heavy, which made these ancient white wolves happy.

Ning Shiting counted before falling asleep, there were 76 "wolf cubs" in the room, and when he woke up, there were only twenty or thirty left.

Gu Tingshuang got up earlier than him, took the place he usually used to read books, and said, "They all have their own wives and children, and some of them I sent back to Lingshan to take care of them."

Ning Shiting said "Oh", and asked him again: "Then how many are all the ones under your command?"

Gu Tingshuang narrowed his eyes, and a cold light flashed across his gloomy eyes: "Why do you ask this?"

Ning Shiting said: "According to you, there should be more than this number. Since the snow demon is on the Lingshan Mountain, it is probably not a good time to hunt for food. If you have an approximate number... Hundred Beasts Garden The amount of venison and unicorn meat prepared in the recipe can be prepared according to the real quantity."

Gu Tingshuang pondered for a moment.

Ning Shiting knew what he was worried about, and said, "If your Highness thinks that wolves are wild, it's not good to be raised by humans, and it's not good for them to rely too much on human things, then we can also release live poultry. Now the situation is special, you can Take it easy."

Gu Tingshuang thought for a while and said, "That's fine. You can count as nine hundred wolves."

He still refused to tell Ning Shiting the exact number, and it was obvious that he was on guard.

Ning Shiting didn't care about it, he leaned over his desk and wrote something on a piece of paper, and after finishing writing, he walked to the window, wanting to let Gourd and Water chestnut come over to do something.

But as soon as he opened the window, a big furry wolf came in, with its two front paws resting on the window sill.

The huge wolf's head was raised, and the amber eyes stared at him.The wolf's eyes are always like this, no matter when you look at it, you always feel a little cold.

But Ning Shiting recognized it, and called softly: "Crescent Moon."

Knowing that the wolf wanted to come in, he turned sideways to give way.The big wolf quickly crawled in through the window, and when it landed, it rolled like a little wolf cub.

Looking again, the water chestnut who was guarding the bed was already pale with fright.Ning Shiting beckoned to him before he dared to come over and take the paper from Ning Shiting's hand.

The windows were closed again to seal the air-conditioning outside.

"What did you just call it?"

Gu Tingshuang's voice came.

Ning Shiting turned his head and saw that the wolf that had just entered the door had easily jumped onto the desk, and handed the few paper rolls it had in its mouth to Gu Tingshuang.

Gu Tingshuang slowly opened the seal, seeing that he didn't answer immediately, she said it again impatiently: "Ask you."

Ning Shiting pulled a chair and sat down: "When I registered them for medicine yesterday, I saw a crescent mark on the inside of its ear, so I called it down."

Gu Tingshuang said: "It was scratched by a mountain owl. In addition, you are not allowed to name my wolf casually. Names given by people are the same as feeding, which will turn wolves into dogs."

Ning Shiting said softly, "I remember."

Gu Tingshuang threw several rolled up envelopes in front of her face: "I'm not interested in the news they heard, you can read it yourself."

Ning Shiting picked it up and saw that it was a secret letter from the Immortal Chief's Mansion.

He didn't know how the white wolves got this thing, he looked at Gu Tingshuang with some doubts, but Gu Tingshuang ignored him at all, and was concentrating on teasing the little wolf in his arms.

Ning Shiting looked at it for a while, then said softly, "It really is."

"Did you expect that? They will do everything they can to deal with you." Gu Tingshuang said, "It's only been two days, and three letters of impeachment have been issued, saying that Prince Qing's Mansion has done nothing in the face of natural disasters. Not to mention It is said that you have just arrived, and your foundation is not stable, and the doormen can't even make up a table of mahjong. They have taken in the best fire master in the whole Western Continent, and they have killed you so that it is difficult for you to move forward in this matter."

"It seems that at the last incense meeting, I hated you, Ning Shiting."

Ning Shiting said softly: "Yes. Fortunately, there is no problem now. When we have all the troops and preparations here, we can start to reinforce the city gate this afternoon."

Gu Tingshuang was no longer interested in this matter, and said "um", and when she was about to start reading a book at hand, she heard Ning Shiting say again: "Yin Bing, I want to ask you something."

"What's the matter?" Gu Tingshuang turned to look at him.

Ning Shiting said: "Your wolves, can you borrow me once? Last time I went to get the "Book of Ten Thousand Phases", they protected me from the wind and snow. This time, the journey to the city gate of Xizhouzhou is relatively long. , although our house has a magic weapon of the fire element that can open the way, but we are afraid that if something goes wrong on the way, it will delay the treatment of the people."

"What are you thinking?" Gu Tingshuang sneered, "What kind of race are the ancient white wolves, how can they be allowed to be driven by you at will?"

"Moreover."

Gu Tingshuang buckled the book in his hand to the side of the table, making a heavy sound.

"What do the people of Xizhou have to do with me? Their life and death are their business, and I will not let my subordinates take such a risk."

Ning Shiting was stunned for a moment, then he seemed a little disappointed, but he sighed as expected: "Alright, I won't ask any more. It's my imagination."

Gu Tingshuang looked up at him.

The shark's expression was still very calm, as if he hadn't expected too much in the morning.

Gu Tingshuang moved his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end he just sneered slightly.

At noon, Huaqiu came to report, saying that the southeast corner of the palace seemed to have a problem with the structure of the ice layer, and a corner of the pavilion seemed to be collapsing.

Ning Shiting went out to have a look, and it was still the same as yesterday, taking two sailors with him.

The problem is not big, and it was successfully repaired in two or three strokes.

But when the three of them returned, the wind and snow suddenly became bigger again.

The calm of this day and a half was broken again by the violent snowstorm. They were outside the courtyard, and there was no ice cover to cover them. The three of them were blown away by the howling snow.

The two sailors were connected by mana, but they completely lost track of Ning Shiting.

Ning Shiting didn't have spells, he was a mortal, their water spells couldn't detect him, and they couldn't receive any response from him.

When Ning Shiting realized that he was separated, he didn't panic too much.

Even though he couldn't see his fingers, the violent snowstorm made it difficult for him to move, but he knew that he was still in the palace, and it would take a few steps in a certain direction.

After walking a few steps, the fire lotus umbrella in his hand suddenly clicked, the temperature lost, and it could no longer emit fire to melt the snow and open the way.

The surrounding temperature dropped rapidly, and the temperature in Ning Shiting's body also began to pass away rapidly.

The biting chill and the body that became extremely painful under the rapid loss of temperature reminded him of a fact everywhere: he is now the most ordinary mortal body, more fragile than any immortal.He couldn't wield the saber technique he had learned, nor could he throw away his hidden weapon of incense to protect himself, because his enemy was Fengxue.

His whole body was trembling violently, his blood was almost frozen, he could only use his last strength to get the soul-returning incense in his sleeve, forcefully put it into his mouth, pressed it under the tip of his tongue, and forced himself to calm down.

But this can't last long. If he stays in this snowstorm for a while longer, maybe he can lose his limbs and body.

Ning Shiting stumbled out a few steps, but suddenly tripped - something crossed in front of him suddenly, and his feet stepped on something soft but hard.

He thought who he wanted was here, but in fact he didn't, something standing in front of him suddenly stood up, arching him back, making him stand firm.

When it got closer, it was a warm, fluffy mass.

Ning Shiting understood immediately: "Wolf?"

In front of him were actually several white wolves.

He couldn't see anything clearly, he could only feel his sleeves being pulled, and the front and back were surrounded, which weakened the wind and snow's power by more than half.

He was being led back by the wolves.

Every time he was about to stumble from the freeze, one of the wolves would push him back, growing bigger and sandwiching him, offering the most complete protection.

After walking like this for a long time, Ning Shiting finally arrived at the inner courtyard.

He thought that time had passed for a long time, but in fact it was only a short time ago.

He even arrived earlier than the two water masters. As soon as the front foot arrived, the two water masters behind rushed over in a panic, and said to the servant: "Young master, we lost it!"

Ning Shiting was so cold that his whole body showed an abnormal paleness, and the two Mrs. Tang stuffed in his sleeves had already frozen into ice.

The servants hurriedly brought water, charcoal fire and Mrs. Tang, Ning Shiting managed to take a breath. When he remembered the white wolf who had sent him over, he looked back, only to see the blizzard flying all over the sky behind him. There was no sign of the wolves.
