In the early morning, when the sun shone over every inch of the land of Aiyi, a cicada that had just woken up from its sleep stretched its lazy waist. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info For it, the morning dew is the most delicious thing in the world.

In the eyes of the cicada, it only saw the dew close at hand, but it did not notice that behind it, a praying mantis with a huge monstrous claw was approaching it step by step. The praying mantis seemed to be drooling, and it looked like it hadn't gotten such a delicacy as a cicada in a long time.

Maybe it had been too long since it had eaten, and even the clever and vigilant praying mantis had not noticed at all that in the grass not far from it, a palm-sized yellow finch was staring intently at its back at the moment. The longing look in his eyes turned out to be stronger than that of a praying mantis looking at the cicada.

Just as the praying mantis was about to suddenly attack the cicada not far away, a ticking sound came quickly from a distance, and then a huge wheel crushed towards the grass where the praying mantis was. Between life and food, the praying mantis still chose the former.

Poof, a crisp chirping of cicadas and the fluttering of sparrows came out of the grass. And the people in the carriage that had just passed by here did not know anything about it.

This is a country road on the border between Ay, the Land of Fire, and Blue Ripple, the Land of Water, and a horse-drawn carriage is speeding on a dirt road covered with weeds.

"Yan Yue, how did you persuade your brother not to come with you? I ran out of tongue and didn't leave him behind, why did you talk to him alone in the room for a while, and he obediently stayed in the imperial capital. ”

At this time, Yan Yue, who was treating Ling Xiao, felt that it was almost over, so she withdrew her magic power, glanced at Ling Xiao, and said, "Our brother and sister are not in deep love, that is the brother who loves me the most, of course he has to listen to what I say."

Although he knew that Yan Yue didn't tell him the truth, Ling Xiao only shook his head with a smile, in this world, who doesn't have his own secrets?

Seeing that Ling Xiao didn't ask himself, Yan Yue also put down a big stone in her heart. She gently lifted the curtain from the carriage, her mind returning to her last day at the Junior Academy of Magic.

"Sister, you don't have to persuade me, this time I must follow Brother Ling Xiao to the Arctic Ice Palace. Since he recognized me as his eldest brother, how could I abandon him and run away when he was in the most danger. ”

"Brother, I know that you emphasize affection and righteousness, but now is not the time to be righteous. When I went to the Arctic Ice Palace, I didn't know how many hardships and dangers I had to go through on the way, and I didn't know how many dangers I would encounter. ”

"Sister, is your brother a man who is afraid of danger? Then you think it's too embarrassing for me. Besides, how can my brother rest assured that you two women and one man are on the road alone, not to mention that now that Brother Ling Xiao can't use magic, once you encounter danger, how can you two girls parry. Well, you don't need to say any more, my mind is up. ”

"Brother! I know your intentions, but don't forget your identity, you are the crown prince of our Ai Yi Kingdom, the first heir to the throne. Don't you know who the second brother is? Selfish, jealous, and ruthless. If something happens to you this time, then your father can only pass on the throne to the second brother. Are you willing to let the people of our country of Ai fall into misery from now on? ”

"This... But sister, your safety is at stake."

"Don't worry, brother, your sister and I are the owners of the ultimate fire, and even my father has praised me for being smart. What's more, Ling Xiao's sister Mu Wan'er is also the owner of the Extreme Ice, so with the two of us here, you can rest assured. Our Ai Kingdom will depend on you in the future, how can you risk your life. ”

"Okay, sister, then you must pay attention to your own safety this time, my brother is waiting for you and Brother Ling Xiao to come back in the imperial capital."

"Well, I will definitely cure Ling Xiao."

..

Drive! A neighing sound sounded, and the carriage that had been moving suddenly stopped.

"Miss, young master, there is Dingbian City in front, can you see if we drive directly into the city or lead the horse into the city?" A butler-like person opened the curtain of the carriage and asked Ling Xiao, Yan Yue, and Mu Wan'er inside.

This housekeeper-like person is called Gu Lao, who is the driver specially arranged by Yan Hui for Ling Xiao and the others, and is also responsible for taking care of the daily life of Ling Xiao and the others.

"Old Gu, let's lead the horse into the city. If you drive into the city, it will be too public, and it is easy to attract the attention of people with a heart. Without waiting for Yan Yue to speak, Ling Xiao preemptively said.

Seeing that Ling Xiao had already spoken, Yan Yue's open mouth couldn't help but close stupidly, in her own house before, she had always driven straight in.

Listening to Ling Xiao's words, Gu Lao stroked his beard with a smile, and a trace of appreciation emerged from his face.

Dingbian City is the northernmost city of Aiyi, and after passing this city, it is completely out of Aiyi's border.

In the era of the previous war, if you want to pass through the border city, you need to go through a very strict inspection. However, now that the mainland has been stable for a hundred years, the inventory of Dingbian City has also been relaxed.

After easily passing the inspection of the soldiers defending the city, Ling Xiao and they could be regarded as entering this prestigious city. Because Dingbian City is located in the northernmost part of the Ai Country, adjacent to the Northern Ice Domain and the Blue Yi Empire, the city is also very lively.

found a good hotel in the city, and Ling Xiao and his party stayed in it. Of course, there was a little accident when staying at the hotel. That is, Yan Yue wanted to live with Ling Xiao under the pretext that she wanted to take care of Ling Xiao, but she was strongly opposed by Ling Xiao, Mu Wan'er and Gu Lao. And when Mu Wan'er wanted to live in the same room with Ling Xiao, she was desperately dragged by Yan Yue for messy reasons such as not being close to men and women, and that brothers and sisters can't live together when they are older. In the end, it was Ling Xiao who said that he and Gu Lao, Yan Yue and Mu Wan'er could be regarded as stopping the battle between the two people. And Yan Yue and Mu Wan'er could only walk into their room with a look of grievance. Of course, as for whether the two of them can fight, this is not something that Ling Xiao can consider.
