The sunshine in early spring shone on the land in the northwest, slowly melting the ice and snow in winter, and the permafrost gradually softened. The plants that germinated early in early spring also showed a little bit of precious green.
A group of people are driving on the official road leading to Desa Province.
The armor worn by the dozen or so cavalrymen in the front looked like the fine equipment only the guardian cavalry of the rich and noble families had. The two cavalrymen in the front were riding on horseback, with spears in their hands holding a banner, But it is a symbol of the thorn flower royal family.
Behind the cavalry, a luxurious four-wheeled carriage was slowly advancing. Even the driver sitting on the carriage wore robes made of the finest pure silk in the south.
The wheels rolled on the land in the northwest, but the well-made carriage did not see any bumps. At this moment, a slender hand stretched out from the carriage window, carefully raised the palm, felt the temperature outside, then retracted it, and closed the window.
"Oh, this place in the northwest is really cold." In the left corner of the carriage, a delicate figure leaned casually on a soft velvet cushion, lazily supporting one arm. The already extremely charming face yawned again, adding a bit of lazy and seductive posture. This girl is no more than twenty years old at most. She has a head of brilliant golden hair, casually tied into a palace-style knot, revealing her curvaceous neck, and small ears. On the left ear, there are three stud earrings inlaid with gemstones . Although this woman was leaning here, her body naturally exuded a rich and gorgeous temperament. With her sigh, this beautiful woman tightened the blanket covering her body.
In the carriage, just across from her. Another younger girl seemed to smile: "Your Highness, I have just passed the border of the Desa province. I heard from my brother that the further you go to the northwest, the colder you will feel, especially for people like me." People who grew up in the south will be even more uncomfortable in the north.”
The voice was clear and melodious, like a yellow warbler singing softly, and the girl speaking was a little younger than that lazy woman, about seventeen or eighteen years old. She wears a silver fur robe, but inside is a blue court aristocratic long skirt. Her appearance is also very good, especially her pair of eyes. As blue as sea water, the features on his face are exquisite and small, and his eyes are flowing. Can't help but feel pity.
The lazy woman who she called "Your Highness" sighed: "Oh. In such cold weather, you came to the northwest with me... My brother must hate me to death. You are about to die. Married, I will take you away at this time... "
The young girl heard this. There seemed to be a slight tremor in his eyes, and then he forced a smile and said: "Your Highness, the news that we have left the imperial capital, I am afraid that the regent will know about it before we leave the city for ten miles. But along the way, I did not see him sending people to chase... If you want to come to the regent, he doesn't object to me going out with you."
"Hmph, this brother of mine has a lot of thoughts in his heart." The lazy woman curled her lips, and there was a trace of disapproval in her beautiful eyes: "I never knew what he was thinking. At this time last year, he He almost married me to that Tulip Duke. And now... hmph, if I hadn't run so fast this time, if I were still in the imperial capital, I'm afraid he would be used as a bargaining chip by him again, marrying some celebrity he values Already!"
The young girl seemed a little embarrassed. After hesitating for a while, she said in a low voice: "The regent... he shouldn't be so miserable. I think he loves you very much. Princess..."
"Hmph! You don't have to defend him." The princess shook her head and sighed: "A few days ago, he somehow introduced several young men to me at a banquet. They were all noble families from the south. ...It's so obvious, can't I still see it? Huh, is he so anxious to get me married? And you... "
Speaking of this, the princess suddenly giggled, 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?" , have already started to speak for him? Hehe... It's a pity, we have been good friends since we were young, and we have been in love for so many years, and now you have turned to him before you married him. "
This girl named Dai Li is naturally engaged to the young monarch of the empire, Prince Regent Prince Chen, who is about to become the future queen regent. Dai Li, a noble girl from the south, is also Du Wei's current "political enemy" The younger sister of General Alpay, leader of the Thor's Whip Corps.
Being pinched by the princess, Delly gave a chuckle, but then the girl frowned again, and sighed leisurely: "Oh... I don't care about anyone... It's just that a girl from a background like me will eventually want to I don’t know how many people would envy me if I married according to the wishes of the family. However, I know that the regent probably doesn’t like me in his heart. What he values is my brother. Marry me , it’s just to win over my family.”
"Don't worry, if that guy Chen treats you badly in the future, I will definitely help you out." The princess puffed up her chest and smiled, then lay down again, thought for a while, and whispered: "Oh, this time I There is really no other way. A few days ago, looking at it like that, I am afraid that if I stay in the imperial capital again, those southern nobles will directly propose marriage. That guy Chen seems to be deliberately showing favor to the southern nobles, saying Maybe I just nodded and agreed, if I don't run away, I'm afraid I will be forced to wear a wedding dress now. Fortunately, Mrs. Liszt is now in the northwest, I will go find her and hide for a while, and I will go back 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, want to meet that Duke Tulip?"
This sentence seems to directly refer to the princess.
The heart went away, but the princess put away the smile on her face and was stunned for a while, as if she was lost in thought.
Duke Tulip... well, that's Du Wei... that skinny boy.
Last year, it was originally rumored that his elder brother intended to marry him to the young duke.
The strange thing is, the princess who has always been proud and arrogant, never puts those rich and noble young talents in the imperial capital in his eyes. Unexpectedly, he remained silent.
For the first time in her life, she did not express any objection, even a tacit attitude.
Princess Louise, who will only turn twenty years old next month, and Prince Chen are siblings, born to the same mother. Among Augustine VI's two sons and many daughters, Louise only had the best relationship with her half-brother Chen. She has been influenced by Chen since she was a child. In her heart, she has Chen, an extremely intelligent brother, and she has been in contact with the so-called "young talents" among other nobles on weekdays. No one can see it.
Compared with the excellent older brothers, those guys are simply a bunch of idiots! So, since coming of age at fifteen, the beautiful Princess Louise. She has many courtiers under her skirt, but it is a pity that no matter who proposes marriage or courtship, she refuses them one by one. It can be said. A girl in the aristocratic circle. Generally, they are relatively precocious emotionally, and many aristocratic women even get married at the age of fifteen. But Princess Louise, she was seventeen years old. I don't even have a man I can see in my heart.
until that day...
On that bloody day in the imperial capital, the coup day two years ago, on the square in front of the palace that day. That time, Princess Louise was also present, and she was sitting on the stands of the royal family members.
And that day, she saw that thin but strong boy with her own eyes.
That day, on the stands, far away, when Princess Louise saw the lonely figure of Du Wei coming out of the Rowling family and came to the square. When she clearly heard Earl Raymond's announcement that Du Wei would be expelled from the family, and at the same time declare to the rebel leader whom she was loyal to, the First Prince, "Even if Du Wei is killed here on the spot, I will have nothing to say! No matter how my son is, he will no longer be a member of Luo Lin's family!"
At that time, Earl Raymond's heartless words spread throughout the audience. Princess Louise, who was hiding in the stands, seemed to see the thin young man in the middle of the square, who seemed strong, with a straight back, but seemed a little trembling slightly. What kind of distress is that.
In the scorching sun, he stood alone on the square, facing the eyes of tens of thousands of people, but he was not afraid. Moreover, he even had a smile on his face that no one dared to look at... such a smile, In the past, Princess Louise had only seen it on the face of her elder brother, Prince Chen.
Later, when the terrifying great magician who called himself Gandolf appeared, he easily defeated the great magician from the magic union and the chief great magician in the court. But just like that, the thin boy still stood up bravely.
An unknown young man wants to challenge the world-renowned strong man.
Princess Louise has always been curious... How can such a thin boy, with such a thin body, be able to carry so much weight? How did he do that? What kind of person is he
Later, after the coup d'état, he was named the Duke of Tulip by his elder brother, but at this moment, he blatantly chose to give up the great fief, and exchanged his own merits for his father's life.
Well, that's the father who once said in public, "Even if Du Wei is killed here on the spot, I will have nothing to say!"!
But he did that without any hesitation, preferring to go far away to the bitterly cold place of tigers and wolves in the northwest, and exchange his own merits for that father's life.
Even Prince Chen's furious appearance in the palace afterwards was witnessed by Louise.
At that moment, Princess Louise suddenly had such a thought in her heart: that is a very proud young man, his pride, even the excellent brother Chen Prince could not tame him! This... what kind of a man!
Later, he created a series of miracles in the Northwest.
Others might be surprised, but what surprised Louise was that when she heard these things, she didn't feel surprised at all. As if unconsciously, the shadow of that proud and lonely boy had left in her heart.
as if. Any miracles he creates are taken for granted! He was originally a special person.
Because of this, when Prince Chen later revealed his intentions and wanted to marry himself to Du Wei. Uncharacteristically, Princess Louise did not raise any objections. She even kept silent in a tacit gesture, or... deep down, there seemed to be a faint hope
Yes, it is hope. The proud and lonely boy who I dreamed of in my dreams, that thin and thin figure that makes people feel distressed. Louise even dreamed of him many times. In the dream, every time, she couldn't help but want to use her tenderness to comfort this lonely boy...
Although this kind of idea is absurd with a girlish imagination, it is still. Princess Louise was really moved in her heart.
It's a pity... Later, he got engaged to a female magician.
Seeing Princess Louise's silent and pensive look, Delly glanced at the princess quietly, then gently pushed her, and said with a smile: "Well, it seems that I am right, you are indeed for that tulip The Duke just came to the Northwest."
Princess Louise was spoiled by what she said, but she didn't hold back, she leaned lazily on the soft cushion. He said lightly: "So what? It's true that I came out to escape the marriage, but I also want to take a look at this Du Wei. Speaking of which, I have never seen this guy up close. I just want to satisfy myself. Just a simple wish."
finished. Louise made fun of her companion again: "It's you, Mrs. Liszt's younger sister, Angel, who is known as the number one beauty in the north. She is as famous as you. After you see her, you must dress up well and treat her It’s better to go on, and we can’t fall into the momentum of our south.”
"Humph." Delly shook her head: "I don't know about these things.
caringly. It's just that it's not difficult for you to meet Duke Tulip. But don't you know? I heard. Both Mrs. Liszt and his sister seem to be interested in him, so the Liszt family moved from the north to the northwest. "
"Well... rejected me. Rejected the two sisters of the Liszt family. I chose a little girl magician. This Du Wei. What kind of person is he?" Princess Louise sighed faintly.
Just when Du Wei didn't know that he was "missed" by the two beauties, he was doing a very serious thing with a serious attitude that he had never done in his life—take a bath! !
In the past few days, I have experienced "detoxification". For Du Wei, it was simply a nightmare he had never experienced in his life! He can even close his eyes and remember the feeling of the sticky powder on himself...
For this reason, he did not know how many times he vomited.
Fortunately, most of the body's skin has returned to green now. The old guy in the green hat said that he didn't need to continue to "detoxify" any more. For the rest of the time, he just had to wait quietly for a few days, and the green color would disappear naturally.
Crash!
After flushing a bucket of water vigorously on his body again, Du Wei shivered violently. Every inch of his skin was reddened by his vigorous rubbing, so he gave up.
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 baby dragon was lying down and sleeping, and Gandolf in the green robe was standing beside the cage, quietly Stare inside.
Hearing the sound of Du Wei's approaching footsteps, Gandolf in the green robe turned his head to look at his apprentice and Du Wei's wet hair. The old guy naturally knew what Du Wei had just done.
Actually... The old guy knows two or three other ways to detoxify, none of which are so disgusting. But with the prank in his heart, the old guy decided to tease his apprentice! Hmph, why did he always call himself "the old guy with the green hat"? Besides, it's not like he hasn't had a crush on himself—this is called going back and forth!
However, you can't tell Du Wei about this, otherwise this kid will definitely lose his face.
Coughing, Gandolf in the green robe tried his best to sulk his face, and said, "Have you finished washing? Come and see, have you noticed that this little guy seems to be growing too fast?"
Du Wei resisted the disgusting impulse and came to the edge of the cage.
Indeed, the old guy was right.
This newborn baby dragon has only been born in less than five days. It has only been less than five days since it was only the size of a kitten. Now its body is almost one meter long.
"I cast a spell on it, and it is sleeping now. I measured it just now, and its body is now one meter long. Especially, you carefully noticed the horn on its forehead..." Gandalf in the green robe said with a look on his face. His worried look: "According to the growth characteristics of the dragon clan, according to ancient records, it generally takes about eighty years for the eggs of green dragons of the water system to hatch, and the newly born young dragons have to grow up to one meter long. About the size. It will take two or three years... But you see, it is already this big now. It only took five days. Du Wei... This is a very dangerous signal."
Gandolf in the green robe pointed to the horn on the young dragon's forehead, and said: "Look carefully at its horn. This horn is ribbed, with ribbing on it. Each circle represents ten years old. Now it's horn. It's already There is a circle of ribbing - this is really a headache! I guess, since the growth rings on the horns have shown signs of being ten years old, then its body. In the near future, it will grow to be ten years old very quickly. To the extent! It has absorbed too much water vapor from the time-lapse spring. It is still growing rapidly!"
After finishing speaking, the old guy squinted at Du Wei: "You know a ten-year-old dragon. How big is it?"
Before Du Wei could speak, Gandolf gestured with his hands.
"Dragon is a creature. It grows very fast at the beginning. Then it will gradually slow down. Generally speaking, a dragon grows to ten years old. Its body can reach about five or six meters long! That is to say , in a few days, the "little guy" you see now will become a giant, with a body of five or six meters long, and it will definitely not fit in the yard. Moreover, it will no longer be possible to lock it in a cage It’s inside. It’s such a big dragon. It must have a violent temper, great strength, and can spit out a poisonous breath... But it doesn’t have any intelligence yet, it’s a completely unconscious beast. You’re going to place it in where?"
Du Wei stayed for a while.
But soon. Gandolf in the green robe handed over a badge with a strange shape.
"This is a pet badge, which is something magicians use to seal their pets. I made it with my own hands, enough to seal a dragon in it. Listen up. Ordinary pet badges are not difficult to make. The badge that can seal the dragon. But it is very precious. I spent a lot of energy at the beginning, and only made two pieces. One was given to Jojo to seal her ice and snow dragon. Now this is for you. Before we think of it Before the solution, seal up this little guy—well, you haven’t learned how to tame a magic pet yet, have you? I’ll teach you how to use the spell of this badge first... "
Later, Gandolf in the green robe taught Du Wei a series of spells. Du Wei had an excellent memory, and Gandolf knew it, so he only said it quickly, not afraid that Du Wei would not be able to remember it.
After finishing all this, Gandolf said: "Now I need to go back and study carefully the transmission of the dragon's soul imprint... When I figure out the method, we are going to go north to the frozen forest to find Go back to the soul of the big prince of the dragon clan. Before that, you seal up this dragon, don't let it out! Do you understand? Also, don't go to the other dragon egg. touch it."
Du Wei nodded, but he sighed: "If it's not impossible, I really don't want to disturb the dead soul of the eldest prince. Alas... Unfortunately, on the mainland, we can't find a second one with wisdom. An adult dragon."
While Du Wei and Gandolf were sighing at each other, the carriages of Princess Louise and the future Princess Regent, Miss Delly, had arrived at a small town fifty miles away from Loulan City.
Louise had already ordered the cavalry guards to take off the imperial flag of thorns and flowers, and even let them take off their armor and throw them all into a carriage behind them. The cavalry only wore leather jackets bought temporarily in the town, and from a distance, they looked like a caravan.
Princess Louise's explanation for such a move was: I don't want to be discovered by that Duke Tulip just after entering the city. Let's go to see Mrs. Liszt quietly, and then I want to approach that Du Wei secretly, and quietly observe that he is a what kind of person.
There is no doubt that this idea of the princess is somewhat naive. Because as early as their convoy entered the Desa Province, the border patrol cavalry discovered them. Afterwards, the news from the imperial capital had already spread to the northwest. Based on various intelligence analysis, Philip was in charge of the intelligence department in Duke Tulip's Governor's Mansion, and soon confirmed the identities of Princess Louise's group. .
"Why do these important figures like to play the childish trick of "private visits in micro-services"?" 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, let's pretend that we don't know. Order them down and let the patrolling cavalry who followed them secretly retreat."
In the small town, Princess Louise and Delly have already taken off their court attire and put on ordinary people's clothes. Even the luxurious carriage was temporarily left in the small town.
Louise asked people to purchase various goods in two carriages in the town, and then dressed up as a merchant team. Princess Louise's plans are. Enter Loulan City first, and then find a place to live. She wanted to take a look around Loulan City secretly.
Regarding the princess's nonsense, anyway, it is harmless, and the accompanying guards will not refute His Highness's good mood.
But, just after everyone disguised themselves. When they were about to go on the road to Loulan City, the convoy had just arrived at the exit of the town when they saw two people standing in the middle of the road. blocked the way.
"Excuse me. Excuse me." A pleasant voice spoke standard Roland Empire official dialect. The voice is very nice, but this accent is simply too standard! As if every pronunciation. every turn. They are all extremely accurate... I am afraid that apart from the etiquette officers who sing in the palace, no one on the mainland will speak with such a standard accent.
Princess Louise was curious. She sits on a horse. Look at these two people in the middle of the road.
These two people, the one on the left, smiled warmly. Surprisingly yes. This person's appearance is simply exquisite and beautiful to the extreme! ! I'm afraid that even the most picky artist among human beings can't find the slightest flaw on its face! Even the greatest poets can't get along with any chapter to praise its beauty! Those faint blue eyes. It is as vast and beautiful as the sea. There is a faint smile on the corner of the mouth, and it seems to be so warm that it can melt all the severe cold in this world...
Even though Louise was born in the royal family, she was 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 azure blue hair, and even his eyes are azure blue, but this blue color is different from Miss Delly who also has blue eyes. This person's eyes are like the sea, it seems that when you look into this person's eyes, it seems to suck you into it...
Princess Louise was in a daze for a short moment before she suddenly came to her senses. What made her even more speechless was that this insanely beautiful guy... Ashamed to say, she couldn't even tell whether the other party was a man or a woman.
This guy is wearing a simple robe, of medium height, and looks very delicate. Although he is beautiful, there is a trace of inviolable awe in his beauty, but this trace of sharpness is concealed by his slender and soft appearance. covered up.
Princess Louise has never seen such a perfect combination of femininity and heroism in a person!
Just as Louise was staring at this man in a daze, behind this man, a tall man snorted coldly.
"snort… "
Just such a short voice fell into Louise's ears, and she felt a sudden shock all over her body! It was as if a hammer hit my heart heavily, and I felt as if I was about to vomit blood.
The other cavalrymen who followed felt something strange, and immediately someone glared at him, but as soon as their eyes drifted over, all the cavalrymen felt severe pain in their eyes!
That tall man had a pale and handsome face, exuding the aura of a heron. What's more, he just stood there so casually, all over his body, but he exuded a coercion that no one dared to look at! !
Even looking at him, it was as if his eyes would be hurt by the coercion on his body.
But the strange thing was that such a special guy, with a flag that was clearly as sharp as a needle, stood beside that beautiful person, but immediately seemed to disappear.
It seems that in the world, no one or anything can overshadow that beautiful person, even such a special man is no exception.
"Okay, step back, you will scare others." The unbelievably beautiful man smiled softly, his voice was soft and sweet, and then looked at Princess Louise from a distance: "I'm sorry to disturb you, please don't Mind you, this is my servant, his temper is just a little weird. Hmm... I just want to ask, may I ask, are you going to Loulan City?"
His voice is like a spring breeze, which makes people feel like a spring breeze when they hear it.
And at this time, as if inadvertently, Princess Louise's eyes fell on this man's wrist...
On this man's wrist, there was a cloud of silver light faintly, and if one looked closely, it was surrounded by strange silver threads!
