Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Seeing the confusion on Yuan Cheng and the others, Xia Hong chuckled but shook his head, choosing not to reveal his little whims to them.

”Lord, the banquet platform is ready!”

Suddenly, a figure climbed up from the mountain wall below. It was Qiu Peng, the Director of the Camp Supply Department, who had specially brought people from Xia City to set up the banquet during the day.

”Noted...”

After Xia Hong’s response, he turned abruptly to look at the eastern side of the camp, smiling as he continued, ”What a coincidence, Xia Chuan has also returned and seems to have brought some distinguished guests. Come, let’s go down to meet with the people from the Nine Towns!”

As he finished speaking, he leaped down the mountain wall, followed by Yuan Cheng and the others, who jumped down one after another, trailing behind him.

In front of the main tent at Hongguan Camp, an iron round platform three meters high had appeared at some point. The round platform had a diameter of thirty meters and nine tables arranged in a circular pattern, without a primary or secondary distinction; each table had only one chair.

Except for the chair at the center, which did not have a label, the other eight chairs were labeled with the names of towns. Starting from the chair at the center, the left side chairs were labeled with Jiangxia, Yangqu, Beishuo, Jin Mountain, Wuchuan, Chui Mountain, Dragon Valley, Muyin.

Surprisingly, Xia Hong had even arranged the seating for the Eight Towns.

Below the round platform, Lord Xiahou stood with Jiang Xinfan and two others, observing the nine tables on the platform with a contemplative expression.

”Lord Xiahou, it has been half a year; I hope you have been well!”

Before Xia Hong even approached, he greeted Xiahou Zhang with a smile, cupping his hands as if there was no unfamiliarity between them.

The great defeat at Hongguan, where Xiahou Zhang was pursued by the Vajra Master and ambushed by the Yan Long Master above Peak Mountain, only to be saved by Xia Hong, happened on the night of November 29 last year, just about half a year ago.

However, what Xia Hong didn’t know was that this was actually the third time Xiahou Zhang had met him. During Xia Hong’s consecutive slaying of three masters in Bashang City the previous day, Xiahou Zhang had been secretly observing the entire time.
