130 Escape
Shadu is a small country in the true sense of the word, built on an oasis in the desert, with a total area about the size of a university in the 2000 AD, and a total population of less than 5,000. 'Shadu' became a country, and it has only a history of more than 300 years, at first it was only a house designed by an old prince who loved the desert to retire, and later the old prince took in many poor people who had nowhere to stay, and finally built this place into a small country.
Speaking of which, this small country is really pitiful.
The big countries on both sides of the desert do not recognize the existence of the 'sand capital' as a 'country', and even send envoys here every five years to collect a lot of land rent. Even so, the 'Shadu' is still strong and preserved, and compared to the outside world in the chaos of the world, this place is simply a paradise.
Xi Luo stayed in the room for two days, because she did not have access to the elevator, so the range of activities she could move around was very limited. Every day, there will be a maid to deliver food, but as long as Xi Luo wants to ask something, the maid will behave in a panic and run away in a hurry without daring to say anything.
Gradually, Xi Luo figured it out and put himself under house arrest. The only thing that could comfort her was that the real princess Lanhiti was in the same situation as her, and she was also anxious to escape.
But even if Xi Luo wants to leave, it needs to be based on figuring out the outside situation. At this time, Lan Xidi seemed to be much more urgent than Xi Luo.
On the third night, Lanxidi managed to find Xi Luo's room.
"I'm leaving, you come with me." This time, Lanhiti changed into a set of black trousers that were easy to move around, and he looked particularly tall.
Xi Luo didn't raise his head, and looked at the computer screen in front of him playing a historical documentary: "Go? Where to go? β
Seeing that Xi Luo was so calm, Lan Xidi urged: "Do you want to go or not, the desert is very big, even if we travel overnight, it will be difficult to find a safe place before dawn." β
"I don't want to leave, I haven't finished my stuff yet." Xi Luo's attention still fell on the video.
"My God, you didn't leave such a good opportunity, but you just watched science and education films. Your brain can't be broken, or are you plotting against the sand? Don't think they're going to let you go, as soon as I run away, they'll let you take my place and get married. Rantis looked at what was being shown on the computer screen in front of Xi Luo, and said angrily.
Xi Luo shrugged: "What do you think, what is worth it for me to plot in Shadu?" β
"And what are you trying to do? Substitute marriage? What the hell do you want to marry that prince and plot against their country? β
"In a constitutional monarchy, the rights of the monarch are limited to friendly diplomacy, and the newly married princess is equivalent to a new faΓ§ade for their country. What do I really want to do to them, isn't it more beneficial to marry their chief officer than to a prince? You shouldn't use the identity of the princess of your country, you will be suspicious of others. β
"Then how do you explain your skills, and I don't believe that you didn't find out that you were under house arrest, why aren't you afraid! Now you still make a look of victory, what do you mean? Lantis raised an eyebrow.
"Why should I be in a hurry?" Xi Luo's expression was still indifferent, "I spent two days getting to know your country of Shadu, and I found that everyone here especially revered the existence of the prophet. Shadu has a wizard who specializes in divination, and he once predicted that there would be a catastrophe in three years, and the only way to resolve it is to let the real princess of Shadu marry, and the beginning of next year will be a three-year period. β
Lantis's face changed slightly, and he said angrily, "You also believe this rumor? The prophecy of the destruction of the earth in 4000 A.D. was not also in a lot of noise at the beginning, and the result was that whoever believed it was stupid! I want to see if I don't marry, the world will not be destroyed! β
"It's useless for you to tell me that. Every prophecy of your former sorcerer in Shadu has been fulfilled, and he has not said anything about the destruction of the earth. Xi Luo looked at Rantis and said casually, "They won't marry instead, because they must find out who the real princess is." As long as you're here, what am I panicking about, anyway, the desert is so big, you will be arrested sooner or later. β
Xi Luo's words seemed to hit Lantis's pain point: "In other words, you don't come with me, do you!" Then I'll go on my own. β
"Don't worry, let's go." Xi Luo turned off the computer and scooped up the fat ball lying on the bed, "What do you think, you have to take me with you when you run away, don't you think I'll expose your position now?" β
"Hmph, don't think you know everything. Who the real princess is, no one can tell, why do you think that king always refuses to take a paternity test? It's really for ridiculous trust, dignity. He is not the true king, and I am not his daughter. But now the fact is that he has become the king of Shadu, and I am a princess who is not believed by everyone. After saying that, Landis didn't forget to look at Xi Luo with resentment.
"No, I'm not interested, I haven't heard anything." Xi Luo subconsciously blocked his ears, some things know too much, it's not easy to slip away.
Lan Xidi rolled her eyes, threw a padded jacket in the closet to Xi Luo and motioned for her to put it on: "Let's go, the key I finally stole with great difficulty." β
Soon, the two of them sneaked back to the surface from the ground with a ball.
It is common knowledge that the temperature difference between day and night in the desert is large, and even so, suddenly coming out of a warm place, Lanhiti couldn't help but shiver: "It's so cold." β
"Can't you drive? There is air conditioning on board. β
"Are you crazy? Drive? Lan Xidi grabbed Xi Luo, "You... You... Do you have a driver's license? β
"Oh." Xi Luo instantly retracted his leg, "Then I think it's good to walk." β
Lanxidi pursed his lips, took Xi Luo to avoid the patrols, and used special ropes to transform the wall into a simple ladder, and after trying the load-bearing, he climbed up first.
"Are you really a princess? Why do I think you're more of a thief? "Lanhiti is an enigma, always bringing unexpected surprises when the mountains are at the end of the day.
"My uncle prepared it for me, and he said that I would definitely want to run away from the marriage, and I would be able to use it when the time came." Lan Xiti pulled Xi Luo, "Let's go, let's go find the little girl, it recognizes the way out of the desert." By the way, what's the use of this ball you've been holding in your hand? What kind of machine is this? β
"He's my partner." Xi Luo said very seriously, "Your little boy is here." β
In the distance, a sturdy light brown camel ran towards the two of them.
"Let's go." Lanhiti stepped on the saddle and got on the camel, then reached out to help Xi Luo sit up as well, "I hope they will find out that we have run away later." β
"They shouldn't be able to find out in a short time." Xi Luo is sure.
"Why? No matter what they do, they are very cautious, and we will definitely be exposed tomorrow morning when the maid delivers the meal. β
"What if I can't come tomorrow morning?" Xi Luo came out coldly.
"You ......" Lanhiti felt a chill behind her, shouldn't you.
"Where do you think about it, I've only adjusted the clock they use to keep time, and it's three times slower." All the houses in Shadu are built underground, so that the residents' judgment of time mainly depends on clocks, but the time of all clocks here is uniformly controlled, which gives Xi Luo a chance.
