After this incident, the young man seemed to understand a lot, and became honest and sensible, and not only thanked the peasant woman, but also repeatedly told the two children to be filial to their mother, and then rode home on the horse they had come.

And Li Yao waited for two days, and finally waited for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who came to duel with the evil dragon.

The crown prince did not come high-profile this time, but he also brought hundreds of personal guards, and when he passed by, the uniform horses' hooves stepped very loudly, Li Yao looked out of the window, and could only see rows of armor in the distance, and he couldn't see the crown prince who was tightly guarded in the center.

When the group left, he and Yang Ming also set off on horseback. Of course, following the back of the team will look very sneaky, and appearing early on the side of the road may implicate the peasant woman's family, and the two of them waited until they were some distance from the team before Shi Shiran approached the team.

After some twists and turns, they finally met the crown prince, the crown prince did not sit in the carriage, but wore a golden armor, mixed with the guards, Li Yao and when they stepped forward, the crown prince was not bound by red tape, and his attitude seemed very easy-going:

"Hello, Marquis and Viscount. Could it be that you're also interested in dragons, so you want to go with me to see what happened?"

Yang Ming simply saluted: "Yes, we have heard of the tower for a long time, but we have not been able to enter the tower several times, if His Highness can allow us to enter today, it would be better." ”

The crown prince smiled heartily: "Okay, I'm also curious about there, let's be companions today and go see what is going on together!"

The crown prince's armor was very tight, but he did not put down his helmet, and it could be seen that the crown prince was very handsome, looked very sunny when he smiled, and seemed to be only a teenager.

This crown prince is very much in line with the image of a prince in a fairy tale, Li Yao thought.

The crown prince seemed to be very interested in civil affairs, looked around along the way, and asked Yang Ming a lot of things, even Yang Ming took out a coin of the lowest denomination, he felt very novel, and looked at it over and over again in his hand.

As he walked with the team, he watched the scenery all around, and from time to time he exclaimed, as if he was not here to challenge the dragon, but to travel.

When they approached the tower, the patrolmen all came out to greet him, and the crown prince took the reins, looked at the tower in front of him, and asked, "Where is the dragon?"

The chief guard knelt down on one knee and replied to him: "Your Highness, at this time, the evil dragon has not yet come out to move, as long as it takes a while, it will come out." ”

The crown prince nodded, and rode around the tower on horseback, and when he saw the pile of bones, Junxiu's face also showed uncontrollable anger

"It's disgusting that this monster has killed so many people, and I must kill it." ”

Li Yao couldn't help but remind him: "Your Highness, there is no shortage of heroic and powerful warriors among them, but as you can see, they were still killed. ”

The crown prince was not very conceited: "I know, but for the sake of my subjects, I will do my best." ”

Li Yao felt that he was indeed a very benevolent heir, and he would also mention the Prince of Geert from time to time during the conversation, and everyone could see that he trusted that prince very much, and almost regarded him as a life coach.

"I remember the last time I was here, when I was just a child, and Uncle Geert took me on a hunting trip," the crown prince recalled, "and my uncle was very good at archery, and he shot a lot of prey, and I only caught a small rabbit." ”

"The last time we came we stayed in a family's house, and at that time it was as beautiful as it is now, and I haven't forgotten it after so many years, but I didn't expect to come back today, it's so good. ”

"However, it would be better if I could come back with my uncle. ”

The group was waiting for the dragon to appear, after all, it was too dark in the tower, and it was very difficult to fight there, so someone came up with the idea to let the archers shoot the dragon down first, and then face the crown prince on the ground.

Although it was a strategy in favor of the crown prince, everyone agreed with this idea, and said that since the crown prince had no way to fly, it was only fair that the evil dragon should not be able to fly.

It's obviously a rhetoric, but when everyone swears that it's right, even the most ridiculous thing sounds like the truth.

The fence was full of archers, everyone was ready, ready to shoot their bows and arrows, and their arrows were sharpened with a faint green tinge.

The soldier in charge of the lookout suddenly reported: "Your Highness, there is someone on the tower!"

Everyone looked up, and the archers were instantly full of strings and ready to go, and the sound of the bowstring tightening rang out.

But instead of a dragon, there was a figure, and in the distance, all anyone below could see was her royal blue dress and blonde hair.

These two points are enough for the human brain to make up for the image of a stunning princess, the princess seems to be looking down, and waved her slender arms, but in the next second, she disappeared, replaced by an evil dragon that suddenly flew out of the tower!

In order to prevent overlapping in the middle, only a part of the archers released the arrows first, and in order to prevent the fall from stabbing the crown prince, the surrounding soldiers quickly set up their shields, and for a while it was not clear whether the above had succeeded or not.

At the same time as it was protected, there was a sharp roar at the top of the tower, the sound was so terrible that it almost made the ground tremble, and after the rain of arrows disappeared, the guards tore off their shields, and the crown prince saw that the evil dragon had indeed been hit by an arrow, and was churning up and down in the air in pain, but refused to fall.

The captain of the guard gave another order: "Release!"

With his order, the other half of the archers also instantly burst out with their arm strength to fill the bow, and then shot out.

At the same time as the shield was erected, the dragon also roared again, obviously the attack range of the bow and arrow was not very large, but when he saw it again, the arrows on the evil dragon's body were already as many as dense stabs, and every qiē was extremely smooth.

The dragon howled and rolled, flapping its wings in the air and struggling, the blood from the wound splattering to the ground as it moved, not a strange color, but warm blood like a normal animal.

Eventually, it refused to fall, and instead fell back into the tower.

The crown prince immediately drew his sword and was about to rush in, but the captain of the guard stopped him: "Your Highness, although the evil dragon is injured, it still cannot be underestimated, please let your loyal servants enter and check first." ”

The crown prince shook his head, it was clear that it was a "fair showdown" before he came, but after coming here, everyone around him turned his word, which was not in line with the spirit of chivalry.

In the face of the crown prince's insistence, the captain had no choice, although he had received the order from Geert to put the crown prince in danger as much as possible before he came, but he couldn't bear to do so, but after all, he also reminded the crown prince that he was benevolent and righteous. Seeing that he was so insistent, the captain had no choice but to get out of the way and let him in.

"Wait," Yang Ming called out to the crown prince, "we also want to enter the tower and enjoy the duel between His Highness and the dragon." ”

The captain wanted to stop him, but the crown prince agreed: "As long as it doesn't get in my way, you can come together." ”

When the three of them entered the tower, they were immediately engulfed in darkness, and Yang Ming lit a wall lamp first, but this time it was not an evil dragon that was summoned, but just a low roar.

It sounded like he was seriously injured.

The crown prince walked up the stairs, followed by Yang Ming and Li Yao.

Little by little, I finally approached the light source above.

Li Yao was secretly worried about the crown prince's reaction when he learned the truth.

When the crown prince stood on the platform, he saw an ugly monster covered in arrows, curled up on the ground, and the figure that was originally facing him with his back, and then turned around with a smile-

An ugly girl who looks like a dragon.

Crown Prince: "?!!!"

Li Yao felt that the crown prince's heart was broken at the moment, probably the same as his reaction when he saw the truth.

How to say it, for example, when you are having a sweet dream, when all the elements such as flower fields and brook benches and balloons are all there, and the atmosphere is romantic to the extreme, you are sitting on the bench excitedly, and next to you is your dream lover, who is shyly lowering his head.

Suddenly, when the other party looked up, what appeared was an elongated face of the head teacher.

It's a nightmare.

The girl spoke: "I have been waiting for you for a long time. ”

The hoarse voice made the crown prince take a step back.

Girl: "You're finally here, quick, kill the monster that imprisoned me, and get me out." ”

The crown prince took another step back, and the girl saw that he had been stepping back, and went straight to meet him:

"It's okay, it's already weak, and it can kill in one go. ”

The monster crouched on the grass, wailing.

Girl: "Go and kill it, and then you can marry me." ”

The crown prince didn't dare to step forward, and the current form made him feel that this girl was the monster who should be killed, and he suddenly thought of something, and asked her sharply:

"Actually, you're the dragon, aren't you?!"

Girl: "What are you talking about?"

The crown prince pointed the tip of his sword at her, with a disgusted expression: "I know, you ugly monster, you turned the princess into that look, and then disguised yourself as a human to kill the comer, right?"

His tone was very strict, and the girl was forced by his sword to step back, explaining, "No, prince, I'm not a monster, it," she desperately pointed at the haystack, "this is a monster, you should kill it first, and then marry me!"

"Marry you?!What are you daydreaming, you ugly thing, you must be a monster. The crown prince made a judgment with righteous words, "I will kill you and avenge the heroic souls of those warriors!"

As he spoke, he raised the sword in his hand high, and then slashed down fiercely—
