Think about it, the old woman's words are not wrong, no matter how high the martial arts of the three of them are, no matter how powerful they are, they can't fight the army.

The reason why the Fire Lotus is so famous is because of its scarcity and difficulty, so the royal family of the Western Regions will definitely not sit idly by. The royal family of the Western Regions has already sent heavy troops to guard the fire lotus at all levels, and even if the three of them have wings, it will be difficult to fly in.

And if it is forcibly taken away, not only will it be the people of Haidu who will be offended, but it will also be hunted down and killed by the people of the Western Regions, then this continent will almost be the people who hunt down them, and the price is really a bit big.

Su Bai held his head and lay lazily on the table, "Don't think about it anymore, let's have a good rest tonight, anyway, there is still a period of time before the fire lotus blooms, and I will think slowly tomorrow." ”

"What Miss Su Bai said is reasonable, Brother Cheng, don't be too reluctant." He Zihan patted Cheng Yubai's shoulder and signaled him not to be impulsive.

Cheng Yubai nodded, he understood He Zihan's worries, but He Zihan would not understand his feelings. He came from Haidu to protect Su Bai. If the Fire Lotus can really untie the knot in the heart of the Queen of Haidu, then Su Bai will be considered safe, so how can he not be in a hurry.

Cheng Yubai's sense of responsibility is a little heavy, and sometimes he can't tell whether protecting Su Bai is an order from above or his own obsession. When a person regards one thing as something he will do in the next few years, he doesn't care what the nature of the thing is, he just cares about whether he can do it well.

This can be regarded as a kind of paranoia of responsibility.

In the evening, the old woman took Su Bai and others to an arch.

The old woman said, "After this arch, it is the capital of the royal family of the Western Regions, the capital is not far from here, but there are heavy guards along the way, and in order to welcome the blooming of the fire lotus, the royal family of the Western Regions has ordered that no strangers are allowed to enter or leave, so it is difficult for you to enter." ”

This is why there are so many outsiders stationed in Fancheng, because they can't get in at all, so they can only do it outside in a hurry.

Su Bai nodded, and then, her gaze was attracted by a stone statue next to the arch.

The statue is very tall and depicts a woman dressed in gorgeous Western Regions women's costumes and wearing expensive jewelry on her head, looking like she should be from a wealthy family.

However, from the statue, the woman seemed to be looking at something, her eyes full of anticipation and deep sadness.

She stood there alone, and although it was a statue, it always felt as if her soul had come to life.

"Old woman, who is that statue, it's so beautiful." Su Bai said.

The old woman looked at the statue with some emotion in her eyes, "She is our Princess Yu Chilian of the Western Regions." ”

"Yu Chilian? Wasn't that the princess of a hundred years ago? "He Zihan still knows a little about the history of the surrounding countries, I heard that Princess Yu Chilian has never married and is a legend in the Western Regions, as for the details, he doesn't know.

The old woman sighed deeply, her eyes filled with faith and respect for the princess.

"Princess Lotus is the most noble woman in our Western Regions, and our women in the Western Regions all take her as an example."

"Old woman, is there any story in this?" Su Bai shook the old woman's arm, she liked to listen to stories the most, especially some stories that were very old.

The old woman couldn't stand her plea, so she had to say slowly, "A hundred years ago, Princess Lian was just an ordinary princess in the royal family of the Western Regions, and His Majesty planned to marry her to the emperor of the Central Plains Dynasty, and the two countries would marry. However, before getting married, Princess Lian met the man she loved the most in her life. ”

"Wow!" Su Bai listened with relish, and He Zihan also leaned over and listened curiously.

Cheng Yubai stood on the outside, his face was indifferent, and he didn't seem to be interested in this kind of story.

"It was a sunny morning, and the young princess and the girls went out to pick flowers, and who would have thought that in the otherwise peaceful grassland, a beast two people tall would sprang out, and the princess and the girls would be frightened at that time. At this moment, a young warrior stood up, he took the spear in his hand, and killed the beast, and it was at that moment that Princess Lian fell in love with this warrior. ”

The old woman continued, "Therefore, Princess Lian is unwilling to marry the emperor of the Central Plains Dynasty. ”

"I don't want to marry, and I haven't seen each other, who knows if the other party is always ugly." Su Bai said that he was very disgusted with the emperor of the Central Plains Dynasty. "It's not as good as that young warrior, brave and handsome."

The old woman smiled and touched Su Bai's head, "Child, how can you not do this if you don't want to." At the beginning, because of this, Princess Lian fell out with His Majesty, alas......"

"Did I hear me right, Princess Lian is so bold?" He Zihan was slightly surprised, Frost City was close to the Central Plains Dynasty, so in terms of customs and etiquette, it was basically the same.

The Central Plains Dynasty was very strict with women, especially the private meeting of men before marriage, which was not allowed. If it is discovered, it is said that it is not a woman and does not know shame.

So, not to mention what is the public regret of the marriage, or because of a man.

If any woman dares to bring it up, she will definitely be executed by her family, after all, it is a very shameful thing.

The old woman said, "We women in the Western Regions do not abide by the rules and etiquette like you in the Central Plains, we advocate freedom. If Princess Lian didn't have a marriage contract with the emperor of the Central Plains Dynasty, then she could marry that warrior, but it's a pity. ”

"And then, and then?" Su Bai was anxious to know what was going on.

"Later, Princess Lian was imprisoned by His Majesty, and she waited for the day of her marriage and sent her over directly. However, on the day of the wedding, the warrior was alone, with a weapon in his hand, rushed in front of the palanquin and stopped the procession to send off his relatives. With the strength of one person, the warrior disrupted the entire family sending procession. ”

"Wow, that's amazing! If there is such a man who does this for me, I will also fall out with my family for him. Su Bai held his face, looking nymphomaniac.

He Zihan said funny, "Miss Su Bai, you just look forward to it, maybe there is really such a person." As he spoke, his eyes looked at Cheng Yubai.

Cheng Yubai was still indifferent.

"Brother Cheng, why have you been silent." He Zihan asked deliberately. He wanted to know, could it be that Cheng Yubai really didn't have any thoughts about Su Bai?

"There's not much to say." Cheng Yubai replied very coldly.

He Zihan touched his nose, it seems that Cheng Yubai is really boring to Su Bai.
