Chapter 563, Dragon Slaying Squad!

The outskirts of the west wind. Dongfeng Garden.

Take the name of the two words east wind in the "small building last night and the east wind", put a hundred flowers and strange trees inside, beautiful and beautiful, it is the palace built by Chu Ning, the former princess of the West Wind Empire, outside.

Chu Xianda was assassinated by the Lu family, at least according to the caliber of official propaganda. Chu Ning's uncle King Fu succeeded to the throne, so Chu Xian became the first emperor of the west wind, and Chu Ning became the former princess of the west wind empire.

The former princess was naturally no longer allowed to live in the palace, and Chu Ning and his group of brothers and sisters were all kicked out.

If you don't drive them, they won't dare.

The older former prince and former princess have already closed the courtyard, but they don't have to worry about housing. Those younger brothers and sisters who were still young were given a unified residence by the Chu clan.

On the stone pavilion, Chu Ning was painting a "East Wind Map", using the golden hook dot line method taught to her by Gu Huangwu. Strictly speaking, she is indeed quite talented in the way of Danqing, and Gu Huangwu, who is known as 'calligraphy and painting', does treat her differently. When her painting skills are improving by leaps and bounds, she is also willing to give her more guidance and teaching.

Chu Ning is good at calligraphy and painting, so he is often proud of his achievements.

However, thinking of Li Muyang, who wrote all the spring in one stroke, Chu Ning's little sense of satisfaction instantly collapsed. It's like you finally climbed halfway up the mountain, looked up, only to find that the person next to you had already stood on the peak. Also, people use a lot less effort than you.

Talented!

The ability given to him by God, he only needs to seriously reach out and catch it. How could there be such a lucky guy in the world?

"Are you lucky?" Chu Ning thought of this question, the brush in his hand couldn't help but stagnate, and a large ball of ink was dyed on the rice paper, and a picture of the east wind and snow that had just outlined the general outline was destroyed.

She looked at the ink ball on the paper with some heartache, sighed softly, threw the paintbrush in her hand to the maid beside her, and then took the warm towel handed by the maid to wipe her hands.

"Princess, are you in a bad mood today? The snow cherry blossoms in the garden are blooming, why don't we go to the garden to enjoy the flowers? Maybe Miss will be happy to see those snow cherry blossoms and have inspiration. ”

"Don't go. Chu Ning said with some irritation. "At such times, where is the mood to paint?"

After a pause, he said a little boringly: "But what can you do if you don't paint?"

"Princess, why don't we go to the zoo and see if we can catch the rabbit--------s?"

"Don't go. Chu Ning refused. "I don't have the strength to draw the bow. ”

The maid looked at Chu Ning with some concern, and said, "Princess, since you came back from the Starry Sky Academy, you haven't been able to leave the door, I'm worried that the princess's body and bones will be suffocated." Princess, why don't you go out for a walk?"

"I'd like to go out for a walk, and I'm afraid they're not happy with it, I'm afraid they'll catch up with me as soon as I go out on the front foot. Chu Ning snorted coldly.

"Princess, be careful. The painting was frightened and hurriedly reminded.

Chu Ning sighed deeply and said, "Don't call me a princess in the future, is there such an embarrassed and pitiful princess who is imprisoned?"

"Princess ---------"

Chu Ning was silent for a moment, and suddenly asked out loud: "I heard that Li Muyang --------"

"Princess, that's a black dragon. When you are in front of a man, never call that person by name again. The Song family and the Cui family all hate it to the core, and the people of the west wind are also shouted to kill. I'm afraid it won't have a good effect on the princess. ”

"Good. That's the head black dragon------" Chu Ning gritted his teeth and corrected. "I heard that when that black dragon was in Jiangnan City, he had an extremely close relationship with Cui Cheng of the Cui family?"

"Yes. The painting nodded. "Everybody says that. ”

Chu Ning nodded and said, "How is Cui careful now?"

"I heard that I was going to marry Song Jiayushu Song Zhiyun. Both the Song family and the Cui family have already announced the news, it is said that they will soon get married-------- if it weren't for the fact that Song Zhiyun was seriously injured and needed to recuperate when he was slaying the dragon, I'm afraid that the day of great joy is approaching, right?"

"Cui is careful?"

"Princess, what's wrong with Miss Cui's family?"

"I mean-------- did she show any unusual emotions?"

"Abnormal?" Hua'er thought for a moment and said, "Miss, I haven't heard of it. As you know, the painting is just a slave. When the princess was practicing at the academy, the painting lived in Miyagi. When the princess returned from the academy, the painting followed her here. ”

Chu Ning also knew that she couldn't find out any news from a little maid, and what was even worse was that she used to be a princess of Zephyr, rude and willful, and she was eager for everything or everything, and she never felt that there was anything under this Shenzhou that she couldn't get------ so at that time, she didn't pay attention to establishing some of her own private team.

Even because of his own character, he really offended many people. If it weren't for the fact that his father had just died, and the princess's residual power was still there, I was afraid that those people would not have made their lives better.

Now that her father has passed away, she is also a princess in name. Those people will not take themselves seriously, and they will not rush to send any news.

"You still have to train a few reliable people. Chu Ning thought in his heart. "I can also deliver a message at a critical moment. ”

"Send my name sticker to Cui's house, and say that I am going to visit Miss Cui's family. Chu Ning said.

"Princess, you're going out?"

"I'll go to Cui's house. Can't they stop it?"

"Okay. Then I'll arrange it. Although Hua'er hesitated, she thought that the princess was finally willing to go out, and she went to a family like the Cui family, which had a huge interest in this reshuffle, and no one else would have any opinions.

After all, the Lu family has collapsed, and now the Tiandu City is the strongest in the Cui family except for the Song family. Cui Xichen, the old man of the Cui family, has made a meritorious contribution to supporting the new king this time, and he has really reaped a lot of benefits.

If it weren't for the attitude of the Song family, I am afraid that all the large number of important military and political positions after the fall of the Lu family would have been snatched away by them.

Hua'er hurriedly left, and Chu Ning looked at the lake with thin ice in a daze.

"Li Muyang, are you really a dragon, was my father -------- really killed by you?"

------------

------------

It was getting dark, and the snow in the yard had begun to melt. The plum blossoms are no longer as fragrant as before, but the snow cherry blossoms are red and yellow, and they are beautiful to bloom.

Cui was playing chess with someone, and sitting opposite was a dignified woman wearing a black robe with large red peach blossoms.

I can't see her age clearly, but between her eyebrows and eyes, she gives people a clear and intelligent feeling.

After the woman fell again, she looked at Cui Cheng with interest, giggled and said, "Be careful, how many times have you lost to me today?" When you were in Jiangnan before, your chess strength was on par with me, and even slightly lost to me. Every time we play chess, I lose more and win less------ today I won three games in a row, which is extremely abnormal. ”

"Auntie's chess skills are improving, so it's better to be careful. Cui carefully put the chess pieces in his hand into the chess jar and said softly.

"It's not that my chess skills have improved, it's that your chess skills have regressed so much. You, if you don't have a mind in chess, how can you win chess?" Cui Xinci said with a smile.

"Auntie. Don't make fun of me. Cui said with some disgust. "Don't you know how I feel?"

"I understand. How could I not understand?" Cui Xinci sighed softly. She reached out to hold Cui Cheng's cold little hand and said, "Originally, this time your brother-in-law returned to Tiandu to take up his post, and I wanted to stay in Jiangnan for the winter." The journey is rushing, and I really don't want to be tired. It's just because I care about your situation that I force myself to come over and have a look. Be careful, are you alright?"

"Auntie, I'm fine. Cui carefully looked expressionless and said, "What can I do? Everything is arranged, didn't my aunt tell me a long time ago?"

"I've told you a long time ago, and I've told you countless times------ but when that day really comes, it's still hard to accept after all. Cui Xinci said with a gloomy expression. "It's a scar in my heart, a hurdle, how can I say that the past is over?"

"So what can I do?" Cui said softly. In the end, my aunt chose to accept this fate. ”

"I accept my fate, but you accept your fate. Cui Xinci looked at Cui Xin with concern. "Can you do it, like me?"

Cui was stunned for a long time, looked up at the pair of beautiful eyes close at hand, and asked out loud, "Auntie, do you think you are happy?"

"Happy?" Cui Xinci pondered for a long time, as if he was seriously thinking about this question. "I don't know if I'm happy or not, but I know it's the best fit. The person I liked back then may not be suitable for me in the end. And the current person, after getting along for many years, also feels that there is nothing bad. ”

Cui was silent for a long time.

"Be careful, you tell your aunt, what are you hesitating about, is there anyone you can't let go?"

Cui carefully shook his head and said, "Auntie, there is no one I can't let go." Since my aunt took that road, the other imperial ladies took that road, proving that path was right. All I want to do is follow the steps and go down. ”

"If you really think that, you wouldn't have lost three games of chess to me in one afternoon. Cui Xinci stretched out a finger and nodded on Cui Xinxin's forehead, and said, "You grew up beside your aunt since you were a child, don't I know you yet?"

The long eyelashes fluttered, and Cui said without raising his head: "Auntie, why did you think of him? ”

"You don't even dare to look at my eyes, are you afraid that I will see through you lying?" A smile appeared on the corner of Cui Xinci's mouth. "Be careful, I know his name is Li Muyang, I know he was admitted to the Star Academy, I know he is very good, I know he has a lot of things you like------- but, be careful, I heard that he is a dragon. ”

"I don't care if he's a real dragon or a fake dragon, as long as he is now given the hat of the dragon clan by the Nine Kingdoms Imperial Family, then he won't be able to wash away this shame for the rest of his life. If you choose him, this is a path full of dangers------ no, it is a journey of death. ”

"Be careful, if you choose any other man, any man in Tiandu City. As long as you say you like it, you are not willing to give it up. I will say to you, go for it, and I will help you escape from marriage. Something my aunt is carrying for you. However, if it is Li Muyang------ no. I don't care what other people think, I don't say yes. ”

"Auntie--------" Cui carefully took a sip of hot tea while holding the teacup, letting the bitter tea stir on the tip of his tongue, trying to suppress the annoyance in his heart, and said softly: "I understand." I'm not going to worry you. ”

"That's good. Cui Xinci looked at Cui Xinci's eyes and said, "Be careful, are you really okay?"

Cui carefully looked up and said in a relaxed tone, "It's okay." I am fine. ”

The maid pushed the door in and whispered, "Miss, Princess Chu Ning came to visit you." ”

"Princess Chu Ning?" Cui carefully pondered for a moment and said, "Next, just say that I will be waiting at any time." ”

"Yes, miss. The maid bowed in response.

Cui Xinci looked thoughtfully at the incense sticker in Cui Xinci's hand and asked, "You used to be very familiar?"

"No, I didn't. ”

"That's weird. Cui Xinci said loudly. "You can see it, but be careful. Also, your grandfather must not be happy that you have too close contact with the descendants of the former emperor. ”

"I understand. Cui carefully replied in a low voice.

Dawu Kingdom. Guanjinzhou.

Jinzhou is an important border city of Dawu, and Guanjinzhou is a town on the border of Dawu.

Out of Jinzhou is the Kunlun Snow Mountain, which is covered with snow all year round and inaccessible to people, so, as the name suggests, Guan Jinzhou is actually to keep Jinzhou in the border of Dawu. It seems that if it doesn't matter a little bit, this Jinzhou City will be swallowed by the legendary beasts in Kunlun Ruins.

Fenglai Inn, the largest inn in Guanjinzhou. Guests can rest and eat a bowl of hot soup.

After all, out of this Golden State, it is difficult to eat hot food.

Kunlun Ruins is a place of miracles, and there are countless legends in Guanjinzhou.

Therefore, no matter what the purpose is to enter the mountain, they will temporarily settle in Guanjinzhou, and after a little inquiry, they may be able to find out some details from the ancient stories or legends that have been circulated in the mouths of local residents, and help them open the Kunlun Divine Palace, or find the gatekeeper beast of the Divine Palace.

The business of the Fenglai Inn is not bad, because there are people who want to enter the mountain every day to settle here.

The business of the Fenglai Inn is not good, because the people who have the courage to enter the mountain are only a very small number after all.

In the airy lobby of the inn, there are a few tables of guests sparsely sitting. Some of these people are lazy people who are local residents of Guanjin Prefecture, and some are animal hunters or treasure hunters who take a break here to enter the mountains.

In the window position at the entrance of the inn, there sat a man covered in a black robe.

I couldn't see his face clearly, only the pair of hands sticking out of the black robe.

The fingers are slender and slender, and the joints are powerful.

He was eating a bowl of beef noodles in front of him, and the sticky noodles and rock-hard beef showed that the chef at the inn was cooking very casually.

A few days ago, the big black dog of Zhang Mazi's family dragged an arm back from outside the gate, and the imprint on it was the Tusi people we saw last time-------

"Yesterday there was another group of people, and I don't know if anyone will be able to come back alive------- is it okay to live well, do you have to go into the mountains to die---------?

"No matter how big it is, that black dragon is bigger than a city, and when it fell from the sky, it crushed a city to the ground, and the entire city was lost to hundreds of thousands of people--------

---------

Hearing that someone had brought the topic to the black dragon, all the people in the inn slowed down and pricked up their ears to listen, and some looked towards the place where the person at the table where he was talking.

"The royal families of the nine kingdoms united to slaughter the evil dragon, but I didn't expect to be able to see the second dragon slaying war in my lifetime-------"

"This evil dragon is also stupid, he dares to reveal his identity, doesn't that lead the whole world to rise up and besiege it? It's a pity that the evil dragon has been slaughtered, otherwise, I will kill the Hades Sword, and I will definitely scrape a piece of its dragon scales down--------"

"You're afraid you'll be coke by a dragon's breath when you go?"

---------

"Who said that the evil dragon was slaughtered by the Terrans?" At the door of the inn, a large man with a wide-mouthed giant sword walked in, and glanced in the direction where the idlers were.

"What's the matter? Why are you not convinced? This is the official news released by the royal family of the Nine Kingdoms------- a little black dragon, do you still think that it can escape the encirclement and suppression of the masters of the Nine Kingdoms? You are too long, the evil dragon will destroy the prestige of my human race, right?"

"That's because the royal family of the Nine Kingdoms can't afford to lose this face, and it is also to make the people of Shenzhou feel at ease, so they announced to the outside world that the evil dragon was slaughtered------- otherwise, the court of the Nine Kingdoms will secretly send countless masters to search for the news of the evil dragon, for what?
