28 The princess in the tower

Walking through a wasteland, a few snow-white rabbits occasionally jumped out of the grass, and nothing else. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info in the distance is a wall-like pass, but the whole body is crystal clear, blooming and clean.

Meiyou couldn't help but marvel and said, "There is such a huge ice wall here!" ”

The princess reined in her horse and turned around and said, "Hmph, what is this, is there any need to make a fuss?" You'll be dumbfounded. With that, she whistled towards the wall, and the horse that sat down immediately began to neigh. It turns out that there are two codes to open this pass, the princess's whistle is one, and the horse hears the whistle and neighs again, and one is missing, and the door of the pass will not open. I saw two huge blocks of ice in the middle of the pass open outward, as if they were two doors that were tightly closed.

The ice door was thick, and I didn't know how many hundred or thousands of catties there were, so it opened slowly. Lang Tian sneered: "Such a bulky door, when the enemy attacked, before it was opened, the companions outside the door were killed by the enemy. The princess rebuked, "What do you know! ”

Lang Tian didn't bother to argue with her, and shrugged helplessly.

"What do you mean?!" The princess was furious and wanted to swallow Langtian.

"Okay, since we're guests, we should be polite." Zhao Yun played a round for the two. The princess glanced at Zhao Yun and didn't look around, very disdainful.

The ice door finally opened, and two big men came out from behind the door, one with dark skin, the other with bronzed skin, both bare-chested, half a body taller than ordinary people.

"Scythe, hammer, are you on duty today?" The princess was very happy to see the two.

The swarthy man on the left said: "Princess, it turns out that you have brought back a few guests, everyone, please!" The two of them held out their hands and made a "please" gesture. Lang Tian saw two rough men, but they both knew how to be polite, and their demeanor was elegant and upright, just right, and he couldn't help but look at this country with admiration.

The princess beckoned to the crowd with her whip, "Come! ”

The crowd followed her and slowly walked through the ice gate. I saw the two big men standing by the door, really motionless like door gods, like carved stone statues.

When they walked through the ice gate, they saw a group of castles in front of them, houses of different heights but scattered, the houses were distributed in a circle, closely surrounding the magnificent palace in the middle, and at the foot of the mountain in the distance, stood a tall tower. Amazingly, the houses here are made of ice cubes, which sparkle in the sunlight and dazzle the eyes.

"It's so handsome! Sister, do you live in such a beautiful place? "Zhao Yun has never seen such a magnificent city, cold and beautiful, dignified, elegant and virtuous.

The princess smiled, "Of course, this is the most beautiful place!" She whispered a few words to the maids on either side, and the maids rode out into the city.

"It's a pity, it's a pity." Lang Tian suddenly sighed on the side. The princess raised her eyebrows and said, "What's wrong with you?" If you don't like it, you can get out of me right away! ”

Meiyou just wanted to reply, but Lang Tian smiled: "Little girl, your temper is so hot. Ha ha. Fengyun Qi builds an ice city, the wind sinks into the blue abyss, I don't know Daji's skillful hand, and the snow flakes and cherry blossoms dew the knife end! ”

Zhao Yun heard it in a fog, and didn't know what he was talking about, but the princess knew the meaning of "Ya" when she heard the string sound, and immediately became angry, pointing at Langtian and saying: "The dog can't spit out ivory in his mouth!" If you talk nonsense any more, you will be branded! Lang Tian didn't know when he took out a feather fan from his arms, and didn't care about the princess's scolding, he stretched out his ears and pretended not to hear: "What? You Hu people have always spoken in eight ways, why are there nine ways? And, as you just spoke, I really didn't see any ivory coming out of your mouth. Weird, what's going on? ”

Meiyou listened to him, and burst out laughing, and the princess realized that Lang Tian was scolding her around the bend, and she was so angry that she gritted her teeth, and she couldn't speak for a while, and she didn't know whether she should do it immediately, so she was stunned for a while, so she was not embarrassed.

Lang Tian didn't want to embarrass her too much, so he arched his hand and said, "Princess, please!" At last the princess got down the stairs, struck her horse on the buttocks, and galloped away into the city.

The crowd then walked into the city, and saw the city bustling with people, each with a kind smile on their faces, full of joy. The city was very quiet, and people just smiled and nodded their heads to get things done, but when they couldn't communicate, they gestured with their hands or wrote down on the ice.

"The people here are so weird, why don't they speak?" Zhao Yun pulled someone over and said, "Hey, why don't you speak?" The man was still smiling and shook his head at Zhao Yun, who had no choice but to let him go. This is the custom of the people here, since we are here, we don't have to make too much fuss, let's follow the customs. Meiyou said something, and everyone couldn't stop nodding. She glanced at Lang Tian, but saw that Lang Tian was also looking at her, she was embarrassed to dodge her eyes and looked at Zhao Yun, but saw Zhao Yun looking into the distance, and said, "Look, there is a band!" The crowd looked in the direction he was pointing, and saw that in the square in front of the palace in the distance, hundreds of people had gathered and played music.

As soon as the music sounded, the deathly silence within a radius of dozens of miles was suddenly broken, and the residents of the city pushed open the ice window one after another, poked their heads out, smiled at everyone, and then retracted their heads and closed the ice window.

Everyone walked towards the square, and when they saw that they were about to approach the square, they suddenly saw a white horse approaching, and immediately sat a soldier in a ceremonial dress, saluting everyone: "Welcome to the snow cherry blossom country, please meet in the square, the king will personally receive you!" ”

"Haha, Sister Meiyu, it turns out that the band is there to greet us!" Zhao Yun and Meiyou were flattered, Mu Yu looked at Lang Tian and said, "The people of this country are so enthusiastic!" Lang Tian smiled and didn't say anything.

Everyone walked to the square, stepped on the red carpet, and slowly walked towards the palace gate under the guidance of the usher. The band followed, and there was also a master of ceremonies, sprinkling flowers on everyone's heads, where had Zhao Yun and the others received such a grand welcome ceremony since they were born?

The palace is magnificent, at this time it has been full of feasts, look up, only to see the top of the palace round, like a dome, more than a dozen huge pillars, supporting the largest building. Everywhere there is a crystal dreamlike brilliance, and the entire building is made of ice, which is breathtaking.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please-!" The master of ceremonies shouted loudly and motioned for everyone to sit in the front seats. Everyone sat down, only to feel that the seat made of ice was so frozen that their buttocks were about to freeze, how could the host be hospitable, and how could they leave their seats, so they had to sit on the left and right buttocks in turn, and endure the cold air that came up from below.

After a burst of salutes, dozens of people came out of both sides of the palace, dressed gorgeously and with all kinds of manners. One by one, they sat down and looked at the crowd with a smile. Dozens of pairs of eyes stared at everyone in unison, and Zhao Yun only felt creepy, and his whole body was stunned. Lang Tian simply ignored it, crossed his legs and shook the feather fan.

Another salute, on the side of the high platform in front of everyone, a man and a woman came out, the man was of medium stature, dignified in appearance, his eyes were bright, and he was dignified, and he was not a small person at first glance. Behind him was the princess who came first. The princess glanced at Lang Tian and said, "Father, these are the guests I brought. ”

The king bowed his head and said, "The guest of honor turned out that the widow could not welcome him from afar, and he was very ashamed. Since he came to the snow cherry blossom country, the widow should fulfill the friendship of the landlord. Very welcome here, my friends, what do you need here, we in the Snow Sakura Kingdom will do my best to satisfy you. ”

Lang Tian couldn't listen to these high-sounding words the most, closed his eyes and whistled softly. Zhao Yun listened to the king's words, but felt that although these words were good, he always felt uncomfortable, and blurted out: "What's your name?" ”

The princess shouted, "Don't be rude when you talk to your father!" The king motioned for her not to speak, and said with a smile: "Little friend, the widow is the king of the Snow Cherry Country...... he avoided Zhao Yun's questioning and continued: "Everyone has come from afar, and they must be tired. Now that it's almost dusk, how about you finish your light meal and rest early, and tomorrow you will be accompanied by a widow to enjoy the scenery of the snow country? He paused, his expression became solemn, and said, "However, there is a little disadvantage here, that is, at night, wild beasts in the vicinity are infested, and occasionally there are cries, please do not be alarmed, because we have guards to patrol day and night, and those wild beasts will never be counted in the city." He smiled slightly, said "unaccompanied", and left the palace with the princess.

Everyone happily ate a meal of "frozen" food, which was so cold that their stomachs were knotted, so they had to find an excuse to leave quickly.

Everyone followed the master of ceremonies and walked towards the harem.

"Hey, do you have anything hot to eat here?" I froze to death. Zhao Yun shivered from eating, and felt that it was not fun at all.

The master of ceremonies smiled, continued to lead the way, and said: "This is the habit of our country, we have no tradition of lighting fires, please forgive me!" ”

When the people saw their hospitality, they could not say anything.

Turning a corner, the master of ceremonies pointed to a small palace opposite, and said, "This is your residence." "This house is different from other houses, with a regular flat roof, and no ornamentation on the walls, it is simple and unpretentious. There was a dark shadow in the corner.

The master of ceremonies suddenly changed color, walked towards the black shadow, and flew up and kicked at the black shadow. The black shadow snorted and fell to the ground. The master of ceremonies kicked and said, "Go away, you old immortal!" Meiyou hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed the master of ceremonies' hand and said, "Stop!" Why are you kicking him? The master of ceremonies was pulled away by her, and the black shadow fell to the ground from the shadow in the corner with a thud. The black shadow was tightly wrapped all over his body, supported himself with two dry hands, and suddenly raised a face full of wrinkles and gray, and when he saw Zhao Yun and the others, he grinned at them, revealing his uneven yellow teeth.

The master of ceremonies flew up and was about to kick it, but was blocked by Zhao Yun with a bamboo stick, Zhao Yun said: "This old woman is very pitiful, why do you still kick her?" The master of ceremonies said nonsense: "She's a crazy person, I don't want her to affect the mood of the guests!" ”

Meiyou squatted down and said to the old woman, "Why are you living on the streets?" Why didn't the king settle you down? The old woman suddenly screamed and turned and fled.

"Looks like she's a little crazy." Mei Yu muttered. The master of ceremonies breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, it's best for this crazy woman to go, guests please come here." ”

The night soon came, and everyone sat together, only to feel that the house made of ice blocks was cold in all directions, and it was not possible to sit or stand, even if they walked out of the house, it was the same outside, because this is the world of ice and snow.

"I can't stay here any longer, let's leave early tomorrow morning." Zhao Yundao. Miyu nodded in agreement. She turned her head to look at Langtian, then at the wooden fish, and said, "It's better to be a wooden fish, I don't know whether it's hot or cold, and I don't have to suffer like this." Langtian, what are you going to do? ”

Lang Tian opened his closed eyes and said, "I want to stay and have a look, I always feel that there is something strange here, this place is not as simple as we see!" ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a continuous shrill laugh outside the window, and a figure rushed into the house from the window.

Everyone didn't expect this crazy woman to suddenly break in, and they didn't know what she wanted to do.

But the old woman sat down cross-legged, holding her breath and concentrating, and did not say a word. Everyone was stunned, not knowing what she was doing here, or if she had a mad attack again.

After a long time, the old woman opened her eyes and said to everyone, "Listen, have you heard anything?" ”

Everyone looked out of the window and saw a cold bright moon, shining in the sky, illuminating a house outside the window as clearly as in the daytime. "I didn't hear anything." Meiyou said, she saw that Langtian was listening intently, and seemed to hear something.

"Listen again!" The old woman encouraged everyone to listen hard. A gust of wind blew outside the window.

"There's a beast barking!" Zhao Yun said, "That uncle said just now, there are beasts here at night, don't worry about the old woman!" ”

The old woman sneered: "Beast infested? Hmph, he can figure it out! How can a beast survive such a cold Jedi? ”

Seeing that there was something in her words, Meiyou said, "Then what is this cry?" The old woman pointed to the black mountain in the distance outside the window and said, "In front of that mountain, there is a black tower, and the sound comes from there." That's the howl of a hyena! ”

“…… yes, it's a dog barking, is there a hunter living there? Zhao Yunqi said.

The old woman snorted coldly and said, "The old woman has pretended to be crazy and stupid for many years, and finally picked up a life. Today, the old woman's life is all on you, I hope I didn't look away! The crowd was shocked and did not know what she meant.

The old woman said: "The one who is imprisoned in the tower is the princess of this country!" ”
