On the north side of the second day step, like the north side of the first day step, it is a place of ice and snow, and in terms of average temperature, it is much lower than the north of the first day step.

The Qinxue Empire is located in such a place, because the sunlight here is not as strong as in other places, so the people who live here, both men and women, have white skin.

The entire palace of the Qinxue Empire is made of ice, although it is ice, but it is not ordinary ice, the ice used for construction itself is harder than ordinary ice, and with artificial processing, even if it is burned by fire, it is difficult to melt.

Inside the palace, all the ornaments are made of ice, and entering this place is like stepping into a world of ice.

In a certain room in the palace, a melodious sound of the piano came from the room.

Although it is a land of ice and snow, the sound of the piano is gentle and continuous - like a mountain spring winding from a deep valley, flowing slowly, making people feel the breath of spring.

"There's news!"

A voice interrupted the melodious sound, and a young man rushed into the room.

In the room, a woman in a red dress sat next to the ice-blue piano, the woman's body revealed a trace of noble temperament, and Katsuyuki's skin seemed to be broken. But at this time, there was a look of unhappiness on that beautiful face.

"Sister, don't look at your brother like that, okay?" The young man who rushed in looked at his sister's eyes, and he also looked a little embarrassed.

"Alas......" the woman sighed, "when will you get rid of your bad habit of rushing into other people's rooms?" I don't mind if I'm your sister, but if you rush into a woman's room like this, do you know what the consequences will be?"

"Ahem...... the man coughed dryly, "I'm not only your brother, but also the prince of the empire, be careful when you speak." ”

The woman looked at the man with dissatisfied eyes: "What, I'm going to talk about you, what can you do to me?"

Looking at his sister's expression, the man also showed a helpless expression, no matter how dignified he usually was in front of outsiders, but in front of his sister, he just couldn't stand up.

"Say it!" said the woman as she covered the piano with a cloth, "and there is really news about that person this time." ”

"Sister!" the man showed a treacherous expression, "You care so much about that person's affairs, don't you, like ......"

Originally, the man wanted to continue, but after feeling his sister's "kind" eyes, he still chose to get down to business: "A few days ago, in the ship leading to the Painted Rain Empire on the first day, there was a person who looked like that guy, if nothing else, it should be that guy." ”

After hearing the news, the woman's face also showed an imperceptible smile: "That means he is painting the Rain Empire now?"

"No, his whereabouts are unknown now......" the man showed a helpless expression.

The woman who had just relaxed also immediately became nervous: "Why is it missing?"

The man said: "The giant ship of Tongtian became the first giant ship of Tongtian to have an accident in the past hundred years, and after rushing out of the sea, the whole ship fell apart. ”

Hearing this, the woman's face also showed a trace of uneasiness, but she forcibly suppressed this uneasiness and tried not to let it show.

So far, there has been no news of him. But from one of my acquaintances, the merchant knew that he was indeed on the ship. The man looked at his sister, and even though the woman tried her best to hide his nervousness, as the brother with whom she had the best relationship, the man still saw through her emotions.

The woman sat there in silence for a long time, while the man sat across from her for a long time.

"Brush!"

The woman stood up abruptly, and took out a cold cloak from the cabinet next to her and draped it over herself.

"What are you going to do?" the man also stood up sharply and stopped in front of the woman.

"I'm going to find him!" The woman said seriously.

The man also showed a serious expression: "I know you are worried about him, but this is different from the first day level, you have to pay attention to your identity, you are a dignified princess, if someone sees it, it is inevitable that someone will gossip behind your back." ”

A hint of indifference flashed in the woman's eyes: "No matter what they say, what I'm going to do, it's not their turn to care." ”

With that, the woman pushed the man away and walked out.

"Alas......" Looking at the back of the woman walking out, the man also sighed helplessly, "It seems that I am going out again." ”

Let his sister go out alone, no matter what, he can't rest assured, but if he lets those guards or something follow, with his sister's skills, he can easily get rid of them, so he can only go by himself.

The man immediately ran back to his residence and explained some things, after all, he was a prince, and he couldn't disappear for no reason, so he explained to someone, which probably meant that he was going to visit a friend with the princess. Then the prince immediately packed up his things and went after his sister.

......

Lu Shuangyang was lying on a bed, playing with an emerald-colored token with the word "bamboo" on it.

This token was given to Lu Shuangyang by the second prince of Huazhu when he left, saying that he could go to the capital of the Huayu Empire to find him in the future, as long as he showed this token, someone would lead Lu Shuangyang to see Huazhu.

"Alas, what is the purpose of this second prince of painting bamboo?" Lu Shuangyang turned over slightly, unlike the second prince of the chess cloud empire who was easily seen through, this prince of painting bamboo gave him an unfathomable feeling.

"Forget it, let's go to the imperial capital when I have time in the future, it would be good if I could have a good relationship with the prince of the Painted Rain Empire. "Now that Lu Shuangyang and Chen Feifei have already offended the Qiyun Empire, God knows when the second prince's revenge will come. I originally wanted to really talk about my feelings with the legendary Pure Wind, but I didn't even see the shadow of the Clear Wind, so now Lu Shuangyang can only try to shift the target and talk about his feelings with the people of the Painted Rain Empire.

But it's useless to think so much now, now I won't be able to go to the imperial capital of the Painting Rain Empire for a while, and the second prince of Qiao will presumably avoid it because of the limelight of the giant wheel of Tongtian, and he won't make a move on them so quickly.

"Now let's have a good rest, and then we'll talk about it when we get to the vernal equinox city......" Lu Shuangyang thought so and threw the token into his space bracelet.

"Ouch!"

Lu Shuangyang's room shook violently, knocking Lu Shuangyang to the ground all at once.

"This road to the vernal equinox city doesn't seem to be very smooth!" Lu Shuangyang complained silently.

This is the woods on the north side of Guyu City, and here is the only way to get from Guyu City to Spring Equinox City.

Here, there is a horse-drawn carriage running fast here.

The driver was a short, stocky man with a relaxed face on his horse, and behind him was a carriage about eight cubic meters.

Lu Shuangyang walked out of the carriage behind him, and said with a hint of complaint: "What's going on? ”

"Hehe, there was a deep pit just now, so ......" The short and fat man is naturally Zhou Qiuwen.

The room where Lu Shuangyang was just now was in this carriage.

Although this carriage looks small, it is actually a space spirit treasure, and there is a huge space inside, which is similar to the principle of a space bracelet.

Behind Lu Shuangyang, Chen Feifei also walked out: "That vibration just now disturbed my sweet dream!"

Chen Feifei was still sleeping in his room in the carriage just now, but he was woken up by the vibration just now.

"Haha......" Zhou Qiuwen smiled very awkwardly.

After the vine dragon snake incident ended, after Lu Shuangyang and Chen Feifei rested in the inn for a day, Zhou Qiuwen came to the door and said that he would take them to the spring equinox city.

Zhou Qiuwen had said before that when the incident was over, he would take them to the Spring Equinox City, and he came to travel to promise.

Lu Shuangyang and Chen Feifei naturally had no opinion, after all, they also needed someone who was familiar with the road to take them.

In order to take the two to the Spring Equinox City, Zhou Qiuwen took out the long-distance carriage of the mercenary group.

This carriage was originally used by the mercenary group when they were going to go far away, but since Lu Shuangyang and Chen Feifei wanted to use it, Wu Liangchao was also happy to lend it. After all, Lu Shuangyang and Chen Feifei also helped them a lot in the vine dragon snake incident.

And Zhou Qiuwen volunteered to drive the carriage and let Lu Shuangyang and Chen Feifei go to rest in the carriage, the result is like this, I don't know how many times the carriage shook violently along the way, if it weren't for Lu Shuangyang and Chen Feifei's adaptability is good enough, I'm afraid I'm going to vomit at this time.

"To be honest, Senior Zhou, do you know how to drive a carriage?" Lu Shuangyang rolled his eyes and said.

Zhou Qiuwen said very embarrassedly: "Actually, this carriage is usually driven by Brother Chao, and it is the first time I have driven this." ”

Lu Shuangyang and Chen Feifei both had an idea in their hearts at this time, that is, to rush up and beat up this Humpty Dumpty, obviously he is a novice with no driving experience, so don't come out and harm people!

"Forget it, Senior Zhou, take a break, I'll come. Saying that, Chen Feifei wanted to take the reins from Zhou Qiuwen's hand.

"Wait!" Zhou Qiuwen said, "Give me another chance, I will have no problem this time!"

Zhou Qiuwen's eyes were very sincere, but no matter how sincere he was, Lu Shuangyang and Chen Feifei didn't believe him very much......

"Click!"

Suddenly, the wheels of the carriage were knocked by something, and the whole car lost its balance.

"Not good!"

Lu Shuangyang reacted immediately, and immediately jumped down from the side and slapped the carriage in the air, and the carriage, which was about to lose its balance, quickly regained its balance under the impact of this palm.

"It's dangerous!" Lu Shuangyang quickly returned to the carriage.

"The ......"

Zhou Qiuwen's expression was very embarrassed, and he just said that there would be no more accidents, but trouble came immediately.

"It's not your problem. Chen Feifei said seriously.

Lu Shuangyang on the side also nodded, and Lu Shuangyang, who had just knocked on the wheels, took a slight look, and that thing looked out of place with other stones on the road, and it should have been deliberately placed here.

"Stop for Lao Tzu!"

While the three of them were still thinking, five figures suddenly appeared in the middle of the road ahead.

"Stop!"

Zhou Qiuwen suddenly stopped the horse, if he continued to rush forward, even if he was not afraid of hitting and killing people, the horse would be injured.

The five men were dressed in sackcloth, each holding a machete in his hand, and they all covered half of their faces with cloth, and their eyes revealed a fierce light.

"I'll open this route!"

"I planted this tree!"

"To cross this road!"

"Leave the money to buy the road!"

The five big men waved their machetes in unison.

Lu Shuangyang and Chen Feifei looked at the five people like idiots: "Are they robbers?"

"It should be!"

"Do all the robbers nowadays say such outdated lines?"

"I don't know, anyway, I don't talk so much nonsense, just pick up the knife and cut it. ”

"I think so too. ”

Isn't this kind of robbery and shouting slogans not usually found in the kind of picture book stories told to children? How can there be such a speechless phenomenon in reality?

"Originally, I heard that there are a group of robbers in this area who are a little stupid, but I didn't believe it at first, after all, the robbers are still a bit of a brain......" Zhou Qiuwen couldn't help but complain, "But now I believe it, it's not a little stupid, it's a little cute." ”

"Alas!" The five robbers were also very dissatisfied when they heard Lu Shuangyang and the three of them complaining, "Have we offended you by shouting slogans? Every robbery gang has its own rules! And shouting slogans is our rule." ”

"Oh, the rules!" Lu Shuangyang and the three of them only echoed them on the surface, but in fact, they knew in their hearts that they were stupid...... Well, even if you don't really say it, the thoughts in your heart are already on your face.

"You bastards, respect us!" The robbers naturally read their thoughts from Lu Shuangyang's expressions, and when they were angry, they also ripped off their scarves and shouted angrily.

"Hehehe......"

Why did you still tear off the scarf, what the robber is most afraid of is being recognized by others, and the robber who took the initiative to pull off the scarf is the first time to see it...... I have to say that these robbers have very poor cultivation as robbers.

Lu Shuangyang looked at Zhou Qiuwen: "In such a situation, if the people of your mercenary group encounter it, what will they do?"

Zhou Qiuwen said embarrassedly: "We haven't encountered such a situation before, but I think they are quite pitiful, it is better to give them some money and send them away." ”

Zhou Qiuwen's words fell into the ears of the five robbers, and the five robbers were also furious: "We are robbers! Not beggars, please treat us as robbers!"

"That's it!" Lu Shuangyang nodded, "Since you are a robber, the correct way to deal with it is to obediently give money and then run away." ”

"Yes, yes, yes. The robbers at the head were very satisfied with Lu Shuangyang's words.

"But we don't want to pay for it. Lu Shuangyang pretended to be helpless.

Chen Feifei said: "Then since this is the case, then we have to fight." ”

"What, hit, you have to think clearly, we're very strong!" the robbery leader threatened.

Lu Shuangyang ignored it, but looked at Chen Feifei: "Hurry up and solve it, and don't start too hard." ”

"I'm measured. Saying that, Chen Feifei jumped out of the carriage, took out a black spear, and slowly walked towards the five robbers.

"Oh! Send just one person to die? Okay! Let's go!"

......

A few minutes later, the five robbers were in tatters and lying on the side of the road with bruised noses and swollen faces.

"It's a bit slow!" Lu Shuangyang complained dissatisfiedly.

"There's no way, if you want to be merciful, if you start too hard, you may die. "The highest cultivation of those five robbers is only exactly five floors, and they are not a threat to Lu Shuangyang at all.

"Let's go, Senior Zhou, you still drive, but if there is any further problem, leave it to us." "Road Shuangyang Road.

"Okay!"

Zhou Qiuwen flicked the reins, and the carriage continued on the road.

Looking at the back of Lu Shuangyang's carriage leaving, the leader of the robbers reluctantly stood up: "Hurry back and report, just say that we have found the person we are looking for." ”

......

The five robbers held each other up, and they didn't know how far they had walked, until they finally came to the side of a small hill. On the hillside, there stood a man dressed in black, who was wrapped so tightly that it was impossible to distinguish the person's figure, appearance, and gender.

"Do you have any news?" the man in black asked in a deep voice, the voice was processed and not his original voice at all.

"Found it, we just robbed a carriage, and one of the people in the carriage killed us, and one of the people in the carriage was the person in the portrait. "The robbery leader is powerless.

"Whew!" The man in black took out a portrait from the space bracelet, the portrait was painted with a young man, if Lu Shuangyang and the others were here, they would definitely be surprised, this painting is really good, the person painted on it is Lu Shuangyang, it is simply vividly painted.

"Is that this the man?" asked the man in black coldly.

The leader of the robbery took one look at it, and then nodded violently: "That's right, it's this guy!" This guy's face is deeply imprinted in my mind, and I want to hit him once I see him. ”

The man in black put away the portrait and asked in a calm tone, "Do you know where they are going?"

"The direction of that road is to the city of the equinox. ”

"Equinox?" the man in black nodded, "Alright, you've worked hard." ”

"That, hero, ...... about the reward," the robbery leader asked tentatively, after all, he had said that as long as there was news of the person in the portrait, he would give a good reward, but this person's strength was far superior to theirs, and even if they didn't give it, they couldn't do anything.

And then. The man in black threw out a money bag.

The robber took it, opened it and took a look, and said in surprise: "Thank you, hero!"

After saying that, he left with his subordinates.

"Equinox?"

The man in black looked into the distance, and in that direction was the vernal equinox city.
