Chapter 386 [Gathering in Loulan City]
(This chapter is 8,000 words, and I have changed the weight of the two chapters together, and I am too lazy to score the chapters.) )
The sun shines on the northwest land, slowly melting the winter ice and snow, and the frozen soil is gradually softening.
The group was driving on the official road leading to the province of Dessa.
The dozen or so cavalrymen at the front, wearing armor, looked like the jīng good equipment only the guardian cavalry of wealthy nobles, while the two cavalrymen in the front, riding on horses, carried a banner with a spear in their hands, but on it was a thorn flower emperor
The symbol of the family.
Behind the cavalry, a magnificent four-wheeled carriage was slowly advancing, and even the coachman sitting in the carriage wore robes of the finest southern silk.
The wheels are rolling on the northwest land, but the carriage that makes jīng liang does not have the slightest bump. At this moment, a slender hand stretched out of the window of the carriage, carefully raised the palm, felt the temperature outside, and then closed it again
I went back and closed the window.
"Alas, this northwest place is really cold. In the left corner of the carriage, a delicate figure leaned casually against a ball of soft velvet cushions, lazily propped up one arm. The already extremely charming face snorted again
owes, but also adds a bit of lazy seductive posture. This is a girl who is no more than twenty years old. She has splendid blonde hair, and she casually ties a palace-style knot, revealing her curvaceous neck, and small ears, left
On top of the ears, three earrings inlaid with precious stones were worn. Although this woman leaned here like this, a rich and gorgeous temperament naturally appeared on her body, and with a sigh from her ground, this beautiful woman covered her body
The blanket tightened.
In the carriage, just across from her. The other, younger girl, seemed to smile: "Your Highness, this has just crossed the border of the province of Dessa, and I have heard my brother say that the further you go to the northwest, the more cold you will feel, especially in the south."
Grown up people. When you get to the north, it's even more uncomfortable. ”
The voice was crisp and tactful, like a yellow warbler's soft cry, and the girl who spoke was a little younger than the lazy woman, about seventeen or eighteen years old. There was a silver sè fur robe on his body, but inside was a blue sè court nobleman
The style of the long skirt, her appearance is also very sè, especially a pair of eyes. It is as blue as the sea, and the facial features on his face are small and small, and his eyes are in between. I can't help but feel pity.
The lazy woman she called "Your Highness" sighed: "Alas. It's such a cold weather, but you came to the northwest with me...... My brother must have hated me to death. You're about to get married, and I'll take you away at this time
......”
The young girl listened. His eyes seemed to tremble slightly, and then he smiled reluctantly: "Your Highness, we have sent out the news, but I am afraid that it is not ten miles out of the city, and the regent will know about it." But along the way, I didn't see him send anyone to chase him
...... He doesn't object to me coming out with you, the Regent. ”
"Hmph, this brother of mine has a lot of ideas in his heart. The lazy woman pursed her lips, and there was a hint of disapproval in her beautiful eyes: "I never knew what was going on in his heart. This time last year, he almost married me there
Duke Tulip. And now...... Hmph, if it weren't for me running fast this time, if I were still in the dìdū now, I'm afraid I would be used by him as a bargaining chip again, and marry someone he values!"
The young girl seemed a little embarrassed, and hesitated for a moment before she whispered, "Regent, he...... It shouldn't be so unbearable, I think he should love you very much. Princess......"
"Hmph! You don't have to defend him. The princess shook her head and sighed: "A few days ago, he inexplicably introduced several young men to me at the banquet, all of whom are from some aristocratic families in the south, God...... It's so obvious,
Can't I see it? Hmph, is he so anxious to let me get married? And you......"
Speaking of this, the princess suddenly grinned, then leaned over, stretched out two fingers, pinched the girl's cheek lightly, and said with a smile: "Dai Li, you haven't married Chen yet, and you've already started to speak for him?
... It's a pity, we have been good friends since we were children, and after so many years of relationship, now you haven't married him yet, and you're already towards him. ”
This girl named Dai Li is naturally the one who has just recently been engaged to the young monarch regent of the empire, Prince Regent, and is about to become the future regent princess, Dai Li, a noble girl from the south, and also Du Wei's current "political enemy" Thor
The sister of General Alpayi, the commander of the Whip Legion.
was pinched by the princess, Dai Li smiled, but then the girl's brows furrowed again, and she sighed leisurely: "Alas...... There's nothing to look for...... It's just that a girl like me has to obey the family's will after all
If I marry, I can marry the regent, and I don't know how many people still envy it. However, I know that the regent probably doesn't like me in his heart. What he values is my brother, and marrying me is just to win over my family. ”
"Don't worry, if that guy treats you badly in the future, I will definitely help you out. The princess puffed up her chest, grinned, and then lay down again, thought for a while, and said in a low voice: "Alas, this time I really have no choice. Some earlier
God, looking at that, I'm afraid that if I stay in Dìdū any longer, those southern nobles will directly propose marriage. Chen, that guy seems to be very deliberately courteous to the nobles in the south now, maybe he nodded and agreed, if I don't run again, I'm afraid now
I'm afraid I've been forced to wear a wedding dress. Fortunately, Madame Liszt is now in the northwest, and I will go to her and hide for a while, and I will return in a few days. ”
Dai Li looked at the princess, suddenly smiled, and said leisurely: "My highness." I'm afraid you still have some thoughts in your heart that you want to meet that Tulip Duke, right?"
This sentence seems to speak directly to the princess
The princess put away the smile on her face and was stunned, as if she was in deep thought.
Duke Tulip ...... Well, that's the Du Wei ...... That emaciated boy.
Last year, it was rumored that his brother intended to marry him to the young duke.
The strange thing is that she has always been arrogant and never takes the young talents of the wealthy nobles in the dìdū in her eyes. But unexpectedly, remained silent.
For the first time in her life, she did not object, or even had a tacit attitude.
Princess Louise, who will only turn twenty next month, is a sibling with Prince Chen, born to the same mother. Of Augustine VI's two sons and many daughters, Louise had the best relationship with her half-brother Changchen. She has been suffering since she was a child
Under the influence of Chen, in her heart, with Chen, a very smart brother, she came into contact with the so-called "young talents" among other nobles. None of them can be eye-catching.
Compared to the good brothers, those guys are just a bunch of straw bales!So, since the age of fifteen, the beautiful Princess Louise. has many ministers under the skirt, but unfortunately no matter anyone's proposal for love, she refuses them one by one.
Arguably. A girl in the aristocratic circle. Generally emotionally precocious, many aristocratic women even get married at the age of fifteen. But Princess Louise, she remained until she was seventeen years old. I don't even have a man in my heart who can look at him.
Until that day......
It was on that dìdū bloody rì, the coup d'état two years earlier, on the square in front of the palace that day. On that occasion, Princess Louise was also present, and she sat in the stands of the royals.
And that day, she saw the thin and strong teenager with her own eyes.
That day, in the stands, far away, when Princess Louise saw Du Wei's lonely figure walking out of the Rollin family and coming to the square. When she clearly heard Count Raymond announce the expulsion of Du Wei from the family, and at the same time serve herself
The leader of the loyal rebels, the eldest prince, declared, "Even if Du Wei is killed here on the spot, I will never say anything! Because he will no longer be my son in the future, and he will no longer be a member of the Luo Lin family!"
At that time, such heartless words of Count Raymond spread throughout the audience, and Princess Louise, who was hiding in the stands, seemed to see the middle of the square, the thin young man seemed to be strong, and his back seemed to be straight, but he seemed to tremble slightly.
What a kind of distress that is.
Standing alone in the square, facing the gaze of tens of thousands of people, he was not afraid, and he even had a smile on his face that made people dare not look at him...... With such a smile, once upon a time, Princess Louise was only in her brother Emperor Chen
I saw it on the face of the child.
Then, when the terrible archmage who called himself Gandalf appeared, he easily defeated the archmage from the Wizards Guild and the chief archmage of the court. But that's it, the thin boy still stood up bravely.
An unknown teenager, but he wants to challenge the world's famous powerhouse.
Princess Louise has always been curious...... How could such a thin boy and such a thin body carry so much weight? How did he do it? What kind of person was he?
Subsequently, after the coup d'état, he was named Duke of Tulip by his brother, but at this time, he openly chose to give up the great fief and exchange his own merits for his father's life.
Well, it's the father who once said in public, "Even if Du Wei is killed here on the spot, I will never say anything!"
He did so without hesitation, and would rather go away to the bitter cold land of tigers and wolves in the northwest, but also exchange his own merits for that father's life.
Even Prince Lianchen, who was furious in the palace afterwards, let Louise see it with her own eyes.
At that moment, Princess Louise suddenly had such a thought in her heart: It was a proud young man, and his pride was so proud that even the excellent brother of Prince Chen could not tame him......! What a man!
Later, he created a series of miracles in the Northwest.
Others may be surprised, but to Louise's surprise, she herself did not feel surprised at all when she heard these things. As if unconsciously, she had left the shadow of that proud and lonely teenager in her heart.
Seems. He does any miracle as a matter of course! He was a special person.
Because of this, when Prince Houchen revealed his intention and wanted to marry himself to Du Wei. Princess Louise uncharacteristically did not object, and she even remained silent in a tacit manner, or rather...... Deep down, hidden
Hidden as if there is still a glimmer of expectation?
Yes, it's anticipation. The proud and lonely boy I once dreamed of, the thin and thin figure that made people feel distressed. Louise even dreamed of him many times, and in her dreams, every time, she couldn't help but want to use her well
Gentleness to comfort this lonely teenager......
Although this kind of thinking is a kind of absurdity with a girl's imagination, but. Princess Louise was really moved in her heart.
It's a pity...... Later, he became engaged to a sorceress.
Looking at Princess Louise's silent and contemplative appearance, Dai Li looked at the princess quietly for a few moments, then gently pushed her, and smiled: "Hmm." It seems that I am right, you did come to the Northwest for the Duke of Tulip. ”
Princess Louise was told that she was broken, but she did not squirm, and leaned lazily on the soft cushion. Said lightly: "What's the matter? It's true that I came out to escape from the marriage, but I also want to take a look at this Du Wei by the way." Speaking of which. I never have
I've seen this guy up close. I just want to fulfill this simple wish. ”
After speaking. Louise teased her companion again: "It's you, Madame Liszt's sister Angel, known as the first beauty in the North." It's a beautiful woman with the same name as you, and after you see her, you must dress up well and compare her to her
Okay, we can't fall for the momentum of our south. ”
"Hmph. Dai Li shook her head: "I don't have these."
Concernedly. It's just that it's not hard for you to meet Duke Tulip. But don't you know? I heard. Both Mrs. Liszt and her sisters seemed to be interested in him, so the Liszt family moved from the north to the northwest. ”
"Hmm...... Rejected me. Rejected the two Liszt sisters. A little girl magician was chosen. This Du Wei. What kind of man is he? Princess Louise sighed faintly.
Just when Du Wei didn't know that he was "remembered" by two beauties, he was doing a very serious thing with a serious attitude that he had never had in his life-
- Take a bath!!
These days "detoxifying" experienced. It was a nightmare for Du Wei that he had never had in his life! As soon as he closed his eyes, he could recall the feeling of the sticky and dry powder applied to him......
For this, he doesn't know how many times he vomited.
Fortunately, most of the skin on the body has now regained its green sè. The old cuckold guy said that he didn't need to continue to "detoxify", and that in the rest of the time, as long as he waited quietly for a few days, these green sès would naturally disappear.
Crash!
Flushed a bucket of water on his body again, Du Wei shivered violently, and every inch of skin in his body was rubbed red by him before he stopped.
After getting dressed, Du Wei walked out of the room, and saw that in the courtyard, in the corner, in the huge subway cage, the young dragon was sleeping there, and the green-robed Gandorf was standing by the cage, staring quietly inside.
Hearing Du Wei's footsteps, the green-robed Gandalf turned his head to look at his apprentice, looking at Du Wei's wet hair, the old guy naturally knew what Du Wei had just done.
In fact...... The old guy also knows two or three other ways to detoxify, and each of them is not so disgusting. But the prank in his heart was amused, and the old fellow decided to tease this apprentice of his own!
Besides, he didn't have a history of himself—that's what he called having a relationship!
However, you can't tell Du Wei about this, otherwise this kid will definitely turn his face.
Coughing, the green-robed Gandalf tried his best to stretch his face, and said, "Have you finished washing?" ”
Du Wei resisted the urge to be disgusted and came to the edge of the cage.
Indeed, the old guy is right.
This newborn little dragon has only been in less than five days, from the size of a kitten, it is only less than five days, and now its body is almost a meter long.
"I cast a spell on it, and it's asleep now. I measured it just now, and its body is now a meter long. In particular, you carefully looked at the corner of its forehead...... "The green-robed Gandalf looked worried: "According to the growth characteristics of the dragon clan
In ancient records, it generally takes about 80 years for the dragon eggs of the green dragons of the water system to hatch from birth, while the newborn young dragons have to grow to a volume of about one meter. It will also take two or three years...... But you see, it's already that big now.
It only took five days. Du Wei ...... This is a very dangerous sign. ”
The green-robed Gandorf pointed to the horn on the young dragon's forehead and said, "Look closely at its corner. This horn is ribbed and ribbed on top. Each lap represents the age of ten. Now it's on the corners. There's already a round of ribbing - that's a real headache! I guess
Measure, since the annual rings on the horns have appeared ten years old, then its body. In the near future, it will soon grow to the point of ten years old! It has inhaled too much water from the spring water that has passed by time. It's still growing rapidly!"
After speaking, the old guy squinted at Du Wei: "You know a ten-year-old dragon. How big is it?"
Without waiting for Du Wei to speak, Gandalf gestured with his hands.
"Dragons are creatures. It started out very quickly. And then it will gradually slow down. Generally speaking. Grow to ten years old. The body will be about five or six meters long! That is, in a few days, you will see the ground now
A 'little guy' will become a behemoth, with a body five or six meters long, which will definitely not fit in the yard. And. There's no way to keep it in a cage anymore. Such a big dragon. The temper must be very short-tempered, and the strength is great, and he can spit out the belt
With a poisonous breath...... But he doesn't have any intelligence, it's a completely unconscious beast. Where are you going to put it?"
Du Wei was stunned for a moment.
Soon, though. The green-robed Gandorf handed over a badge with a strange shape.
"This is the pet seal badge, which is used by magicians to seal their own land demon pets. I made it with my own hands, enough to seal a dragon inside. Listen up. Ordinary pet badges are not difficult to make, though. A dragon's emblem can be sealed. But it's very precious. At the beginning, I spent a lot of jīng effort, but I only made two pieces, and one was given to Qiao Qiao to seal the ice and snow dragon in her land. Now this piece is for you. Before we can think of a way, seal this little guy away - well, you still can
Haven't you learned how to tamesticate a magical pet, have you? I'll teach you how to use the spells of this badge first......"
Subsequently, the green-robed Gandalf taught Du Wei a series of earth spells, Du Wei has an excellent memory, and Gandalf knows the land, so he only said it quickly, and he was not afraid that Du Wei would not be able to remember.
With all that done, Gandalf said, "Now I need to go back and study the biography of that soul sigil of the dragons...... Once I've figured out that, we'll be ready to head north to the Frozen Forest to retrieve the Dragon King
The soul of the subland. Before that, you seal this dragon, don't release it! See? And the other dragon egg, don't touch it. ”
Du Wei nodded, but he sighed: "If it weren't for the impossible, I really didn't want to disturb the dead soul of the eldest prince." Alas...... Unfortunately, on the mainland, we can't find a second adult dragon with intelligence. ”
While Dewey and Gandalf were sighing at each other, Princess Louise and the future Prince Regent, Miss Delilee
A kind of carriage has arrived in a small town fifty miles outside Loulan City.
Louise had already ordered the cavalry guards under her command to take off the Thorn Flower Emperor Banner, and even let them take off all the armor on their bodies and throw them all into a carriage behind. The cavalrymen wore only improvised skins purchased in the town, far away
It looked like a caravan.
Princess Louise's explanation for such a move was: I don't want to be discovered by the Duke of Tulip as soon as I enter the city, so we will quietly go to Madame Liszt, and then I want to secretly approach that Du Wei and quietly observe what he is like
Person.
There is no doubt that this idea of this princess is somewhat naïve. Because as early as their convoy entered the province of Dessa, they were spotted by the patrol cavalry on the border. Subsequently, the news of dìdū had already spread to the northwest, and various intelligence analysis was carried out comprehensively.
In the Doge's Palace, Duke Tulip, the intelligence department headed by Philip quickly confirmed the identity of Princess Louise's party.
"Why do these big people with status like to play the childish trick of 'micro-service private interview'? Philip rubbed his temples. Looking at the information in his hand: "Let the people below leave them alone." Since they don't want us to know, we'll take it
I don't know. Tell them to go down and let the patrol cavalry who secretly follow them retreat. ”
In the town, Princess Louise and Dai Li have already taken off their court clothes and put on the clothes of ordinary people, and even the luxurious carriage has been temporarily lost in the town.
Louise had two wagons of goods procured around the town, and then dressed up as a team of merchants. Princess Louise's plan was. Enter Loulan City first, and then find a place to stay. She wanted to secretly take a look around Loulan City first.
For this princess to mess around, it doesn't hurt anyway, and the accompanying guards will not refute His Royal Highness's good mood.
It's just that after everyone dressed up in disguise. When I was about to go on the road to Loulan City, the convoy had just come to the exit of the town when I saw two people standing in the middle of the road. blocked the way.
"Excuse me. Excuse me. "A pleasant voice, spoken in the standard official dialect of the Roland Empire. The voice is very good, but this accent is simply too standard! Every transposition. Boji
For accurate and nuanced ...... I'm afraid that except for the ceremonial officials who sing in the court, no one on the mainland will speak with such a standard accent.
Princess Louise was curious. She sat on her horse. Look at these two people in the middle of the road.
The two men, the one on the left, smiled kindly. It's amazing. This man's countenance is simply jīng to the point of extreme beauty!!I am afraid that even the most discerning artist among mankind cannot find the slightest flaw in his face! Even the greatest poet cannot get along with any passage to praise its beauty! It is as vast and beautiful as the sea. A shallow smile on the corner of his mouth seemed to be warm enough to melt all the cold in the world......
Even if Louise was born in the royal family, she has been used to seeing all kinds of handsome men and beautiful women since she was a child. But I have never seen such a beautiful person.
This person has long blue hair, and even his eyes are blue, but this blue sè is different from Miss Daili, who also has blue sè eyes. This person's eyes are like the sea, as if when you look into this person's eyes, it's like
will suck you in......
Princess Louise lost her mind for a moment before she suddenly came to her senses, and what made her even more speechless was that this guy was so beautiful that she couldn't talk about it...... It's a shame to say that she can't even tell if the other party is a man or a woman.
This guy was wearing a simple robe, medium height, and he looked very delicate, although he was beautiful, but there was a hint of inviolable awe-inspiring in his beauty, but this trace of sharpness was concealed by his delicate and soft appearance
Finish.
Princess Louise has never seen a person who can combine femininity and heroism so perfectly!
Just as Louise was staring at this person in a daze, behind this person, a tall man snorted coldly.
"Humph......"
Just such a short voice fell into Louise's ears, and she immediately felt a sudden shock all over her body! as if a hammer had hit her heart hard, and she felt as if she was about to vomit blood.
The other cavalrymen in their retinue all sensed the abnormality, and immediately some people glared angrily, but before their eyes drifted over, the cavalry felt a sharp pain in their eyes!
The tall man, with a pale and handsome face, exuded the scent of a yīn heron. What's more, he just stood there casually, all over his body, but he suddenly exuded a coercion that people didn't dare to look at!!
Even if I looked at him, it was as if my eyes would be stinged by the coercion on his body.
But the strange thing is that such a special guy, with a banner as sharp as a needle, stood beside that beautiful person, but immediately seemed to disappear.
It seems that between heaven and earth, no person or thing can overshadow that beautiful person, even such a special man, is no exception.
"Okay, stand down, you're going to scare someone. The unbelievably beautiful man smiled lightly, his voice was soft and beautiful, and then he looked at Princess Louise from afar: "Sorry to disturb, please don't worry, this is my servant, he has a temper."
It's just weird. Well...... I just want to ask, excuse me, are you going to Loulan City?"
His voice is like a chūn wind, which makes people feel like a chūn wind when they listen to it.
And at this time, as if inadvertently, Princess Louise's eyes fell on this person's wrist......
On this person's wrist, there is a faint ball of silver light, and if you look closely, it is a strange silver wire tied around it!
