Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Imperial City of the East Pole
"Whoaββ!
A sound of water came, Miao Lanlan seemed to be diving and playing just now, and at this time, she just showed her head, and the eyes of the three of them collided together.
"Sister Lanlan, you're back!"
"Xiaoxue, why are you here?"
As soon as the two girls saw each other, they immediately recognized each other's identities, and Xiao Liu's conjecture came true, this woman recognized Miao Lanlan, and the Sister Lanlan in her mouth was Miao Lanlan.
Xiao Liu saw that Miao Lanlan was about to go ashore, so he consciously turned his back and waited for the other party to dress.
After Suosuo's voice, the cheerful voices of the two girls came from behind, and Xiao Liu turned back and asked
"Sister Lan, who is this girl? Just now she was alone in the woods, and she was almost bullied by a few guys, but fortunately, I happened to pass by and bumped into her, and I rescued her, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. β
Miao Lanlan's eyes were startled when she heard this, and then she glanced at Xiao Xue on the side reproachfully before explaining
"It's Xiaoxue...... My little sister. Xiaoxue, this is Xiaoliu, is my newly recognized younger brother. You don't want to run around alone in the future, what if something happens?"
Xiaoxue was preached by Miao Lanlan, and playfully stuck out her tongue, before she dragged out her voice and grabbed one of her arms and said coquettishly
"Sister Lan Lan, I know it's wrong! I must bring two guards to come back in the future, right? By the way, it turns out that you two also know each other? Hero, we really have a fate!"
Xiao Liu smiled bitterly when he heard this
"Don't call me a hero, call me Xiaoliu. I can't afford to be a hero. β
Xiao Liu responded like this, but he was very curious about what the other party mentioned.
Xiaoxue said that she would bring the guards back in the future, it seems that her judgment was right, Xiaoxue's background should not be low.
"Okay, I'm much cleaner and fresher. Xiaoxue, you slipped out on your own this time, hurry up and go back with us!"
Although Xiaoxue had just arrived, she didn't seem to have any intention of playing here after meeting Miao Lanlan, so she happily nodded and agreed.
The three of them returned to the carriage and headed towards the imperial city, chattering non-stop along the way, as if they had never spoken in eight lifetimes, showing a very affectionate look towards Miao Lanlan.
And Miao Lanlan is coaxing this girl like her parents.
Although this girl is a little older than Xiao Liu, she is like a child who has not grown up, and she is full of curiosity and interest in everything.
Xiao Liu became a spectator and a listener, not talking and just watching the two of them chat.
Soon in Xiaoxue's heartless laughter, they approached the gate of the imperial city, Xiao Liu opened the curtain of the carriage and looked out, a magnificent high wall went straight through the sky, as if he wanted to break through the sky, the city wall stretched out on both sides of their front, and continued to the end of the sight, and then the second destination was a bridge at the end of the road.
The bridge spans a moat and is 100 meters wide, and a large number of people are queuing up to get in and out.
Huge black steel gates rise at the end of the flow of people, connecting the towering walls on both sides, forming an impregnable defense.
By this time, their carriage was approaching the end of the flow of people and began to join the queue to enter the city.
"It's really slow to die, and it's the same when I came out, it took me more than half an hour!"
Xiao Xue pouted and complained, and Miao Lanlan on the side said helplessly
"Then you still keep sneaking out? There are so many good places in the imperial city, why do you always like to go to that blue water lake?"
"Sister Lanlan, the people in the city are bored to death! I don't like to be with them!"
Regarding Xiaoxue's coquettish attitude, Xiaoliu has become commonplace along the way, and he is a little immune.
After waiting in line for half an hour, their carriage came to the huge and heavy black iron gate, which was not really opened, but opened two smaller doors below to facilitate the passage of people in and out.
Outside the entrance to the entrance, there is a whole group of officers and soldiers in black armor who are strictly screening each person, and if anyone is found to have bad intentions, they will be immediately detained on the spot, and then interrogated by special people.
The coachman drove the carriage to the door, Miao Lanlan handed out a token from the window, and the officers and soldiers in charge of the investigation immediately gave a respectful military salute when they saw it, and then notified their companions behind to let them go.
This is expected, after all, Miao Lanlan is the prince's person, and it is normal to be able to be unimpeded here.
After entering the imperial city, Xiaoliu can be regarded as seeing what is called a big city, compared with here, Yuzhou City and Yulong City are no different from the countryside, the buildings here are all tall and beautiful, the roads are wide and accessible, and the criss-crossing is planned neatly and squarely, and the magnificent and atmospheric pattern makes people feel a mood that wants to be admired at a glance.
Between the comings and goings of pedestrians on the road, many people exude invisible powerful vitality fluctuations, and the overall strength of the people here is several grades higher than that of other places, and the masters of the fairyland are all over the street, which opens the eyes of Xiao Liu.
As their carriage was heading towards the prince's mansion, a luxurious carriage suddenly approached them in front of the road, and soon they were not far away, and the speed did not slow down at all, and there was no intention of avoiding them.
"Hissββ!"
The carriage for Xiao Liu and them was just an ordinary groom, the dragon scale horse was frightened and neighed, the four hooves trampled indiscriminately, and the whole carriage shook violently, and suddenly stopped in place.
At this time, the luxurious carriage had also stopped, and their carriage was pulled by two incomparably white xenomorph dragon scales, and the gilded jade inlaid on it made people know at a glance that the people inside were absolutely rich and extraordinary.
At this moment their man in charge of driving the carriage jumped down and shouted angrily
"Where did you come from, bastard, didn't you see the prince passing by? I don't even know how to give way!"
Xiao Liu and Miao Lanlan had already jumped out of the carriage at this time, and Xiao Xue seemed to be frightened, so she stayed alone in the carriage and never came out.
"This is the carriage of the third prince, wait for you not to speak, just leave it to me to deal with. β
Miao Lanlan, who had recovered her ghost hand costume, took a few steps forward, and bent down to salute the carriage with her hands clenched into fists
"It turned out that the three princes passed here, and I didn't see the ghost hand and body in the car just now, there is a faux pas, and I hope that the third prince Haihan!"
At this moment, a young voice came from the luxurious carriage opposite
"Oh, I thought someone was so ignorant of the rules, it turned out to be the eldest brother's person, but that's not strange. Ghost hand, I heard that you are actually a girl like a flower, and as a gift, you took off your mask and showed me the real face. In this way, what you happened to me today, I will treat it as if it never happened, and I will reveal it at once. β
The three princes in the carriage did not show up, and said in an unhurried voice, as if they were joking.
But those who know his character know that the third prince is not a joke at all, but serious.
If the ghost hand doesn't do what he says, then no one can predict what will happen next.
When Xiao Liu saw the third prince say this, he wanted to open his mouth to refuse, but the ghost hand on the side immediately quickly stretched out a hand and grabbed him, and then removed his mask without hesitation, revealing his original face.
"The third prince is a noble person, naturally he will not go back on his word, now that I have shown my true colors, I hope that the third prince can give up and let us go. β
Although Miao Lanlan showed her face, her voice remained hoarse and unpleasant.
"Hmph, ghost hand, do you mean that my dignified son will not be able to keep his reputation? As I said just now, as long as you let me see the truth, I will spare you for the crime of collision, and naturally I will not regret it. But that's not what you're talking about right now, are you?
The third prince never showed up, but he invisibly formed an aura that could not be refused and resisted, and Miao Lanlan had no choice but to recover her voice and say crisply
"Are the three princes satisfied?"
When the three princes in the carriage heard this, they laughed loudly
"Hahahaha! Okay! Okay! Sure enough, he is a wonderful person, and this prince has seen it. Hu Quan, let's go!"
Xiao Liu and Miao Lanlan both knew that although it may have been accidental for the third prince to meet them, but after the other party learned that it was the ghost hand in the carriage, he immediately began to deliberately suppress them.
He must have heard the news brought back by the second elder Xuanhuang in doing this, and knew that the people he sent out had suffered a big loss, and now he just wanted to suppress the arrogance of the prince's lineage.
But if either Miao Lanlan or Xiao Liu didn't hold back the other party's humiliation, then the third prince would have enough reason to let people kill them in public!
A charge of great disrespect will be deducted after their death, so that the prince will not be able to avenge them.
The three princes are using their identity and status to suppress them, and they can only endure it.
At this time, the man named Hu Quan glanced at Xiao Liu and Miao Lanlan coldly, then turned over and rode the carriage of the third prince away from them.
"Sister Lan, has the third prince always been so domineering?
Xiao Liu asked with a gloomy face after the other party left
"The relationship between the younger brother, the crown prince and the third prince is more complicated. His Majesty also turned a blind eye to their fight. Just now he just gave us a dismount, it's nothing, don't go to your heart. Let's go and see the prince. β
When it came to the crown prince, Xiao Liu really didn't have much interest in his heart, but now was not a good time to expose him, so he had to go back to the carriage again and let Miao Lanlan take him to the prince's mansion.
Xiaoxue looked at Miao Lanlan with some apologies at this time
"Alas, I really don't know how long they will fight like this, Sister Lanlan, don't be angry. β
Xiao Liu felt very strange about her words, how did she feel as if this girl knew the third prince?
