When I entered the country, I looked up, and the huge street was empty, the sun baked the ground to a sizzling sound, and the towering trees on both sides of the street that should have been shaded by the sun were now leaving a huge crown, and the thick branches were now missing the green leaves, and they opened their eyes and stared up at the sky, as if they were being stripped naked and being burned at the stake.

"It's almost baking people to dried fish. Mo Chen wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead while removing the slanted shoulder armor on his body.

Seeing that Qiu Wuyan was so hot that she was sweating and her face was like a peach blossom, Dong Chop Feng took off the cloak on her body and intimately covered Qiu Wuyan's head. "Wordless girl, cover it for the time being, don't sunburn your flower and snow skin. ”

"Hey, is Admiral Chopping Wind quite pitiful and cherishing jade, but unfortunately, the wordless girl doesn't need it at all. You might as well give it to me. Mo Chen teased jealously, snatched the cloak, and then threw it back in disgust. "It smells of sweat and stinks. ”

"You, you deceive people too much!" Dong Chopping Wind was furious, chasing Mo Chen and fighting.

"You two are enough, aren't you too hot!" Xingzhuo stepped forward and grabbed the two of them, looking indifferent.

"Do you notice that this place seems unusual, there is no one on the street in broad daylight, all the shops and houses are closed, and the strangest thing is the trees? Mo Liyan said, pointing to the bare trees on both sides of the street.

"Master is right, the book records that the country of Xiayang is full of forests, towering trees, dark green and fat, layered and intertwined, crystal like ink jade, its leaves are sweet and refreshing, cool and detoxify, can also quench thirst. Qiu Wuyan talked with her hands behind her back like a teacher.

Mo Chen and Dong Chopping Wind's eyes followed Qiu Wuyan closely, and their eyes were full of admiration and worship.

"Girl, you said that it is not here, the trees here are depressed and green, I don't think there is even a trace of greenery. Xingzhuo interjected angrily.

"I ......" Qiu Wuyan was about to plead, but found that Mo Liyan had turned around and knocked on the door of a shop, and with a "squeak" sound, a black head carefully poked out.

"Wow, it's exactly like the book. Xia Yangguo has long legs, black skin and slightly curly hair, and speaks loudly and soundly. Qiu Wuyan pointed to the figure leaning out and told the winter chopping wind behind her.

The figure looked curiously at the group of people in front of him, "You are not native?!" The voice was hoarse and low, not at all the loud and sound described by Qiu Wuyan, which made people's hearts furious.

"You'd better come back in the evening. The man spoke again in a hoarse voice, trying to reach out and close the door. Xingzhuo propped up the door, "Dare to ask, is there a baby born on the day of the summer solstice that is missing here?"

Hearing Xingzhuo's words, the man really stopped what he was doing, glanced at everyone vigilantly, and then shouted to the back room, "Old woman, serve the food." ”

Immediately there was a sound of small footsteps inside the door, and as the footsteps disappeared, the man stopped speaking, and held on to the door, staring at everyone wide-eyed, as if waiting for something.

After a while, there was a sound of horses' hooves in the distance on the street, the sound became louder and more urgent, and layers of dust were raised on the street, and Xingzhuo raised his sleeves to block Qiu Wuyan. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the man who opened the door secretly locked the door from the inside.

When the dust cleared, everyone looked up and saw a group of cavalrymen dressed in green and holding spears at the end of the street, led by a red figure.

The leader leaped from his horse, and with a wave of his hands, the soldiers jumped off their horses and surrounded them with their spears.

Then it became clear to everyone that the leader was a young girl, and they saw that the girl was wearing a white gauze hat on her head, the broad brim of which reached up to her shoulders, covering her two strong arms. His black hair was braided into bunches and hung down mischievously at the back of his head, and he wore a green leaf jade hanging from his long neck, and he was wearing a half-length red silk short-sleeved slit top, a pair of white legging silk pants, and a pair of openwork pearl boots on his feet.

A pair of big eyes are crystal clear, with beads of sweat hanging on the thick eyelashes, like two butterflies with wings ready to fly, healthy skin is shiny, and the whole person looks smart and lively, which is uniquely beautiful.

As soon as the woman stood still in front of everyone, the door opened again, and the shopkeeper came to the woman's feet in a panic, put his hands on top of his head, and said respectfully in a dumb voice, "The villain has seen the beautiful Xia Cicada Princess!"

The woman waved her right hand, "But you reported to the official that there are suspicious intruders here, and these people are related to the missing baby on the summer solstice?!" The woman glanced at everyone one by one, and finally stopped her gaze on Xingzhuo's face.

"I think this boy is free and easy, and his appearance is extraordinary, not like the person you said was stealing babies. Princess Xia Chan said as she walked up to Xingzhuo and looked carefully from head to toe.

"What, stealing babies, you say we?!" Mo Chen pointed to the tip of his nose, his brows furrowed and angry.

"You don't look at it, my dignified prince, oh, a handsome guy like a prince, would do that rooster and dog thief, it's a joke!"

Xia Chan glanced at Mo Chen, but didn't pay attention to him. Instead, he continued to stare intently at Xingzhuo, and said provocatively, "I only believe the words of this handsome guy. ”

Xingzhuo was just about to speak, Qiu Wuyan rushed forward and covered his mouth, "This beautiful sister, you don't know, don't just look at him handsome, in fact, he is a mute." As he spoke, he stepped forward and dragged Princess Xia Chan aside, attached it to her ear and whispered quietly, which basically meant all kinds of belittling Xingzhuo, saying that he was deaf and dumb.

Princess Xia Chan turned her head to look at Xingzhuo suspiciously as she listened, and saw that he had always been indifferent and expressionless, and that fiery gaze finally turned into infinite sympathy.

"This girl has already told me that they are not bad people, and they are here to help us investigate the case, so you all get out of the horse, and we will go back to the palace before we make plans. Princess Xia Chan pointed at a few soldiers, then turned around and jumped on the back of the horse in a dashing manner, and rode away with a whip, leaving a red back.

Mo Liyan nodded to everyone, everyone jumped on horseback, Dong Chopfeng and Mo Chen were thinking about how to open their mouths to let Qiu Wuyan ride with them, but they didn't expect Qiu Wuyan to go straight to a brown horse, fly up lightly, and ride away.

Winter Chopping Wind and Mo Chen hurriedly raised their whips to chase after them, Xingzhuo looked at the figure in front of him, still expressionless, and slowly drove his horse's head and Mo Liyan walked towards the palace side by side.

Qiu Wuyan rode her horse and whipped, and finally succeeded in catching up with Princess Xia Chan in front of the magnificent palace gate of Xia Yang Kingdom.

Princess Xia Chan looked at Qiu Wuyan with admiration: "My horseback riding skills are among the best in Xia Yang Country, I didn't expect you to be quite powerful." I've made you a friend!"

"I've loved horseback riding since I was a child, but I was only able to ride so freely at the racecourse in the palace for the first time, and I was really happy, I didn't expect to be able to ride so fast. Qiu Wuyan let go of her hands excitedly for a while, stretched out her arms and leaned back.

Unexpectedly, the horse suddenly raised its front hooves, looked up to the sky and neighed, and Qiu Wuyan was about to fall off the horse's back with a stagger.
