The atmosphere in Luo'an City has been a bit solemn these days, and people are whispering about the battle in Dragon City Fortress.

To be precise, Dragon City Fortress is not actually a city. It was a mountain range that stretched for thousands of kilometers, and the Xia army built strong fortifications on it, and with the help of the natural terrain to form a barrier, any enemy who dared to attack from it would be repulsed head-on by rolling stones and a dense rain of arrows.

But this time it is not facing an enemy in the traditional sense, the world has changed dramatically in the more than ten years that Chu Zhaoyang has been sluggish. The battlefield is no longer a battlefield of crossbows and swords, long-range artillery and firebolts have dominated the battlefield, and impregnable fortifications are a joke under the enormous power of artillery. Three days earlier, hundreds of thousands of Atlas troops had launched an assault on the area, their powerful artillery tearing apart the fortifications of the Dragon City fortress, and Atlas' heavy cavalry rushing through the gap. The Xia army's crossbow arrows could not penetrate their heavy armor, and they suffered heavy casualties, and the Dragon City fortress was about to be lost, and the entire Great Xia was in danger. It is said that the young emperor will join his eighteen-year-old brother on a royal expedition tomorrow.

Although the battle in the Dragon City Fortress was so urgent, the emperor was holding a banquet in the Duke's palace of Willlet, and Chu Yunyang, the princess of Willlet, who was wearing a white silk dress, was the host of this banquet.

Like her legendary father Chu Zhaoyang, Chu Yunyang is also a legend, a princess's legend. Her mother was the former Empress of Great Xia, and she inherited her father's appearance and her mother's watery gentleness. When she was sixteen years old, the nobles of the world who had come to Loam to propose to her had crossed the threshold of the Duke's palace in Villette, but she sent elegantly worded letters of rejection to the noble gentlemen, who were either elegant, handsome, or able-bodied. She is twenty-four years old this year, and she still lives alone in the Duke's Court of Villette, and this is a rare old unmarried princess, and people speculate who she is waiting for.

Her name is also particular, in the Xia Kingdom, the word "Yang" can be used as part of the surname according to the regulations of the Great Xia royal family, originally there was only the heir of the empire. In other words, she, like Chu Yiyang and Chu Kunyang, is qualified to inherit this huge empire.

Her fiefdom was in the province of Willett, located in the southern part of Bactria and was known by its very different names. This province was not originally the territory of Bactria state. It was part of Chu Zhaoyang's achievements that year, but this did not prevent it from being the most fertile and economic of the thirteen provinces in Great Xia. She is also the only female duke in Great Xia, and in fact, there is only one duke in Great Xia. When they met, most of the nobles, except for the emperor and prince, had to kneel and salute when they saw her.

With such a lofty status and such a huge honor, Princess Willlet, who can be called the world's first princess, does not have the slightest pampered momentum. She was courteous to everyone, and the ladies of all the nobles were proud to associate with her, and they spoke of the princess with envy. What they often do is compare their correspondence with the princess to see who gets the most, which is a little amusement for them to compare in their boring time. She wears a long white silk dress when she holds banquets. The supple fabric conformed to every curve of her body, and she bowed to her guests with elegant curtsy and admiration, and the eyes of both men and women were full of admiration and admiration, and it was her most beautiful moment.

Now she wears a long silk dress that she only wears at banquets, but there are only five people who admire it, which is a little regrettable.

Sitting at the top of the long table was her uncle Wang Chuxiong, the prince of the protector of the country wore a moon-white long-distance run today, and his gray hair was tied back with a crown of hair, looking elegant and kind. Sitting on the left side of the long table were her two younger brothers, who wore white and yellow armor for the upcoming battle. To the right of the long table are two young girls, about twenty years old. Their beauty is not inferior to Chu Yunyang, who is known as the first princess, not only that, but their behavior is obviously from a big noble family. One of them wore a long blue velvet dress, the other a low-cut gown in black velvet, their waists pinched by diamond-encrusted belts, and their precious jewel-adorned headdresses glittered their delicate hair.

Chu Yunyang smiled and introduced her best friends to her family, Princess Stuart and Duchess Shanna from Avinia. When the Xia Kingdom was rising, Avinia was also rising, and at a social gathering, the two countries established diplomatic relations, and the Xia people got to know this large southern country known for its technology and beautiful and dignified women.

"Guess the reason why they participated in this banquet, if you guess correctly, there will be a prize, Yiyang will come first. ”

Chu Yiyang shook his head with a smile and said that he couldn't guess, but Chu Kunyang still sat upright and didn't move, his ice blue eyes seemed to be indifferent, he had always been like this, so indifferent that his eyes seemed to be empty.

"If you didn't guess it, there was still a prize. She smiled and pointed to Princess Stuart in the blue velvet dress, "She is your betrothed to marry, and she promised you this marriage when my father was still alive." ”

Chu Yiyang was taken aback, "Is there really such a thing?"

"Otherwise, why would you ask someone to come to see you?" Chu Yunyang looked at Chu Kunyang, who was still indifferent, "Kunyang, you actually have it too." ”

"Oh. Chu Kunyang's answer was as indifferent as if it were someone else's business.

"Don't ask who it is?" Chu Yunyang frowned slightly, "It's hard for you to get along with her in the future." ”

"Why do you ask?" Chu Kunyang was still expressionless, "My sister will naturally say it if she wants to." ”

"In fact, your marriage contract with her is only valid on her side, and the marriage contract is only signed by the Emperor of Avinia. Chu Yunyang handed him a cup and poured a cup for Chu Yiyang, "Your father was exiled before he signed it." ”

"Isn't it just right?" Chu Kunyang took the cup, "I don't need it anyway." ”

Compared with his younger brother's indifference, Chu Yiyang was much more concerned about this kind of marriage, and he politely made a gesture of "please" to the princess Stuart, and then gentlemanly drank the wine in the cup. Princess Stuart gave him a glass in return. She lowered her head in embarrassment. Her cheeks were crimson, and she was particularly beautiful against the blue velvet dress.

"Brother. Chu Kunyang reminded him expressionlessly, "When the time comes, we must immediately support the Dragon City Fortress." ”

"Then I'll go first. Chu Yiyang got up and left, leaving a gorgeous shell pin on the table, which was a gift he left for his fiancée.
