Volume 1 Once Upon a Time in the South, The North Wind Blows

Newtown, the capital of Maine.

Lan Yu stood on the tower of the Prince's Mansion, letting the cold wind wantonly blow her red hair into a mess. From here, you can overlook the whole city of Newinn, even in wartime, this huge provincial capital still has its prosperity and order, because in the eyes of the people here, as long as Prince Resa is there, it is only a matter of time before the Tingxiao people are driven back.

This is not the blind confidence of the Maine people in Prince Ressa. If anyone remembers the appearance of this city seven or eight years ago, it was only a dilapidated town with a population of less than 100,000, with rotten walls and broken walls, and monsters often ran out of the Trasdes Mountains a few hundred miles to the north, and the people were often poisoned. If you look at the current city of magnificence, and then think of the terrifying monsters that have been driven back into the mountains, everyone will sing the praises of the prince's many years of civil and martial arts.

Expanded from the dilapidated Newin Castle, the Prince's Palace is now a landmark of Newinn, although it has little practical use.

A few years ago, I could often see those three teenagers who fell in love with the floor, laughing and laughing. People always look up at these three figures on the tower of the palace castle, and sigh that Prince Resa is the blessed person, blessed and blessed, and the three children are the best among the people. Whether it is appearance, martial arts talent, or magic talent, these three people are so outstanding.

But time has passed, and after returning from the royal capital this time, everyone in the palace knows that the second son has broken his appearance. What a handsome face it was, how many maids in the prince's mansion were haunted by their dreams, and how many times the girls passed by the window of the second son when they had nothing to do, but they just wanted to lower their heads and peek at this rather manly face with a shy face.

Gaver was now in a wheelchair, half of his face was ruined, and the newly grown tender flesh was unevenly spread on his face, and the hideousness between the folds made it difficult to look at directly. Thanks to Lan Yu's potion, he no longer needs gauze to cover his face. Of course, it's actually better to cover this face now.

Lan Yu glanced at the second brother beside her, it turned out that the shiny brown hair was long gone, only the mottled scalp of the newborn was left, and she couldn't help but sigh lightly when she saw it.

"Okay, it's the second brother who is disfigured, and it's not you, what are you sighing all day long. Gaffer said lightly, his eyes looking at the Traledi Mountains that stretched for thousands of miles to the north.

Lan Ma knew that she shouldn't have touched the sadness of her second brother, and she felt a little guilty in her heart.

"In fact, compared to this face, I pity my martial arts cultivation even more. Gaffer looked back at Lan and said, "Lan Xiang, you know what, I can't use a sword anymore. ”

"I can't even feel my legs anymore. ”

Lan Ma's nose was sour when she heard this, and she blinked her eyes twice so that the north wind would dry the water between her eyes.

At that time, Gaffer was so badly injured that he delayed for several days before he dared to pull out the deadly silver needle. However, the two silver needles behind Gaver's spine were pierced in a very tricky position, piercing straight into the depths of the spine, and once they were pulled out, his martial arts cultivation began to pour. Not only that, but in the past few days, Gava's lower body has been completely unable to move, and he has become a half-paralyzed waste.

Besides, no matter how hard you try, the accumulated strength will still leak out from the two wounds on the back of your spine, and there is no difference between practicing and not practicing.

Even though Lan Yu had recently rummaged through various medical pharmacopoeias and tried all kinds of potions, she couldn't repair the damage to Gavver's spine, and in the end, even Gaphor smiled bitterly and persuaded her to give up.

"Gaffer, there's a big brother here. At this time, a calm voice came from behind the two of them.

This man was dressed in a sable, tall and burly, and walked with the air of a general, this was Ayton, the eldest son of Prince Ressa.

"Big brother, are you back?" Lan Ma finally smiled and threw himself into Ayton's arms, "Big brother, you're finally back... Finally back ... ”

It was the first time in these days that a smile appeared on her face, but the smile began to murmur in Ayton's arms, and after a while, she began to cry bitterly.

Ayton smiled and stroked her back, he looked at Gaver in the wheelchair, his face was not different, just like he looked at the original second brother.

"Well, what a sin it was to go to the royal capital, and to cry like this. Ayton sneered, "Come, tell the eldest brother, who bullied you?"

"Hmph, there isn't a good guy in Salyushi, they all bullied us. Lan Ma wiped her tears and said hatefully.

"Okay, then in the future, you will lead the people and level the whole king, okay?" Ayton smiled and comforted.

This may sound like a joke, but it really shocked Lan and Gaver.

"Big brother, don't talk nonsense," Lan Yu said with a smile, she squeezed Ayton's arm, and said in a voice that only these three people could hear: "Your Majesty has only been here for a long time, and now there are a lot of His Majesty's eyeliner hidden in the palace and the city. ”

Ayton cut Lan Ma's long and messy hair, as if he hadn't heard Lan Ma's reminder, and said with a smile on his face, "When did Big Brother cheat on you?"

"What does Father mean?" Lan asked tentatively, staring into Ayton's eyes.

Ayton nodded, looked at the mountains in the distance, and whispered, "Father asked me to go to the Liqiu camp." ”

"Go to Liqiu Camp? Could it be that my father thought... Gaffer asked, wide-eyed.

Ayton nodded slightly, squatted down, patted Gaffer on the shoulder, and the corners of his mouth crossed a hint of fierceness, "Don't worry, Father and I won't act like nothing." ”

Gaver was stunned for a moment when he heard this, slowly closed his eyes, and finally let out a sigh of relief.

He's been pretending to be relieved these days, but he just doesn't want to make Lan Yu sad. How much courage does it take for such an amazing young martial artist to be able to persist in living and face such a bleak life after learning that his cultivation has suffered a great loss, and he has to face the next half of his body with a wheelchair as his companion for the rest of his life? Only Gaver Ressa can answer this question.

After hearing Ayton's words, Gaffer looked up to the sky, closed his eyes, and let the rolling tears slide down his irregular skin, and at that moment his heart seemed to be dead.

Lan Ma and Ayton watched from the sidelines and couldn't help but be moved.

The north wind was blowing, and the three people on the castle tower looked the same as before.

"Winters in Newinn are still cold. The three of us hadn't stood here together in years, looking out at the scenery inside and outside the city. Ayton sighed with a smile.

"After the eldest brother went to serve in the army, he came back less. Lan Yu grumbled.

"Yes, it's all the fault of the big brother. Ayton smiled back and pinched Lan Yu's face, but he was actually blaming himself for being plotted against Gava.

Lan Ma was in pain, and his two hands were fangs and claws.

Gaver sat in a wheelchair, looking at the two people who were fighting, and also showed a smile that he hadn't seen for a long time.

Ayton talked to Gaver and Lan and then went straight to the Liqiu camp. This secret camp, unknown to King Kelman, is located on a hidden hill on the southern side of the Trastile Mountains. The people stationed in the camp were all the prince's own soldiers, and these people followed the prince all the year round, knowing the prince's temperament, and their tone was tighter than the other.

"The cold wind blowing from this mountain range is so bitter to the bone, I don't know if these princes and nobles from Saliushi can stand it. Lan Yu overlooked the city, and said this for no reason, the corners of her mouth hooked up a cold smile.

The inky back outside the palace disappeared, followed by two teams of white-robed Light Orthodox Sect mages.

"Then do you want to ask that Alwyn if he can endure the bitter cold?" said Gaph.

"Second brother, why are you talking about him in a good way. Lan said angrily.

"Who told him to taste the lipstick on my sister's mouth, I just showed that I should care as an older brother. Gaver said solemnly.

was pierced by Gaver on the day of the pillow sword meeting, Lan Yuden blushed, "Second brother, you... Hmph, ignore you. ”

Lan Yu turned to leave, but Gaffer grabbed her wrist and smiled, "On my desk, I have all the information of the army from Saliushi. ”

"Hey, not interested. Lan Yu hesitated for a moment and replied with a smile, "Besides, second brother, when did you become so nosy?"

"Okay, then I didn't say it. Gaffer let go of his hand.

As Lan came down from the tower, the setting sun hid her in the shadows.

Gaffer looked at the back of Lan Marriage leaving, and sighed in his heart, "I don't know you yet, how can you let go." But even if you can't let it go, what can you do?"
