Dragon Queen

This is a mountain ridge stretching from east to west, no matter who comes from the south or north, they must pass through this mountain ridge.The north of the mountains is called the north, and the south of the mountains is called the south.

This mountain is called Luanling, and the name is no longer testable.

If you want to cross Luanling, you must pass Luancheng.Luan City is surrounded by mountains, and merchants and warriors traveling north and south will inevitably have to rest in this city, and Luan City has naturally become a big city.

If the city is large, there will be many people, and if there are many people, it will inevitably be chaotic. Therefore, there is a curfew in the city. Pedestrians are forbidden to come and go on the street from Zishizheng to Yinshi, and the city gates are strictly closed from Haishi to Maoshi.

If you pass by here at night, it is inevitable to stay overnight.

Therefore, there are many inns in Luancheng, large and small, located in the square, and there are many.

This day, a group of people came from Sifang Inn, the largest inn in the city. The headed woman's face was half covered with a layer of semi-transparent white gauze, half of her face was covered, and a little outline was vaguely revealed. You can tell it's a beauty.

Behind her are two maids, who are [-]% similar in appearance.All of them were dressed luxuriously, but they were also dressed as martial arts people. I heard that the two maids called this person "Palace Master", and they didn't know which palace or sect he belonged to.

Ma Xiaoer has also seen many people from all walks of life, and was not surprised by this group of people, but seeing that the materials on their bodies were very good, he became more flattering and respectful, hoping that the guests would be more generous in their actions.

Let's say that it is evening and you, and the sky is full of glowing clouds, which is very beautiful.Since this group of people entered, they must be staying at the store.The waiter asked all the questions that should be asked, without mentioning half a word that should not be asked, and led him to the room, and ordered someone to serve wine and food, and that was the end.

There used to be a lot of people sitting in the lobby of the inn. Looking at the crowd and bustle, the tables and chairs in the lobby seemed a bit insufficient, but fortunately, there was one empty table left. Wipe it hard, "Please sit down."

After the person came to sit, the two girls who followed her also sat down on the left and right, eating the food in the shop slowly and listening to the conversation around them.

Zhao Zhouxing came out of the capital, which is called a private visit in Weifu at a good level, or she sneaked out of the palace at a bad level.There is still a fake emperor lying in the palace sick and unable to go to court early, but she has already arrived in Luan City thousands of miles away.

After discussing with Wen Renhe that day, it was rare for Wen Renhe to be serious and willing to help. Zhao Zhouxing had no worries for the time being, so he came out of the palace, first to see if he could meet the person Wen Renhe said, and secondly Take a look at the people's sentiments in various places.

There are many people in the court who do not report what they know, but they are sitting in high positions but their eyes are closed, and they talk about the rule of saints and sages.

So I stayed in various places. Although I went all the way to the south, there was a lot of delay in the middle. When I arrived in Deluan City, it was already the beginning of winter.

Fortunately, going south, the weather is not cold. In this mountainous city, you can still feel some aftertaste of autumn. The heat of the autumn tiger has not dissipated, but the days have turned into winter.

After arriving here, it is inevitable to stay for a while, and Wen Renhe has already said that if he can meet that person, he will be here.

Zhao Zhouxing was curious about the person's appearance, whether he was tall or short, fat or thin, male or female, old or young.After thinking about it, she only had the image of an old man with a white beard leaning on a cane and stepping on auspicious clouds under his feet.This is the image in the legends of the past dynasties, and Zhao Zhouxing has no way to think of other appearances.

The tall and handsome young man should be the general in the legend, the flirtatious and beautiful woman is the goblin who absorbs the spirit in the ghost story, the naive doll is either a ginseng or a child under the fairy seat, and most of the gods have white eyebrows and long beards , just like the image in the legend of Wenrenhe.

It's just that Wen Renhe is too inconsistent with the image in the rumors. The person he mentioned may not be an old man with white eyebrows. What if he is the same as Wen Renhe, and what if he is a child? Sister Fairy, it's impossible to tell.

Zhao Zhouxing lowered his head to eat, and no one knew what she was thinking, let alone cared what she was thinking.

The people in this inn come and go, and everyone travels from place to place, the beautiful, the ugly, the blind and the lame, what kind of people have never seen it before, except when Zhao Zhouxing first came in, everyone saw a few more out of a sense of novelty Outside the eyes, no one expressed curiosity about these new guests.

Those who think that the beauty is delicious are just enjoying it in their hearts. This beauty does not seem to be easy to provoke.

So everyone either continued the topic just now, or changed a new topic.

On Zhao Zhouxing's left, about a table away, there were three old men who were discussing some important national affairs. They seemed to be concerned about the country and the people. One of them said:

"Look at what's going on here. A well-behaved girl became the emperor, and she fell ill again after a few days."

Another said: "In my opinion, the new emperor may have offended the heavens. Even the heavens are unwilling to see a female emperor. I think the new emperor will abdicate sooner or later."

Another said: "A country cannot be without a king for a day. If the emperor is sick, I am afraid that the capital will be in chaos."

The previous one said: "You don't know about that. Master Xuanguo is taking care of all important matters in court now. After all, he is a man, not a girl."

"I heard that Master Xuan..."

On Zhao Zhouxing's right, there were four big men sitting about two tables away. Their voices were slightly higher, but no one dared to step forward to remind them.Only one of them said: "Mom, what kind of wine is so bad, Xiao Er!"

After a reprimand, someone who specializes in consolation came out, "Brother, this small store is definitely not comparable to our own products, so calm down and know nothing like a little boy."

Sitting at a table behind Zhao Zhouxing, two young men whispered in low voices, the one on the right called himself Fang Shuo, and the one on the left was called "Brother Mu", with the single name "Yu".

First, Na Muyu said: "Brother, I've traveled all over the world for so long, and I've seen beauties before. It's really rare to see someone as beautiful as this one."

Fang Shuo said, "Brother Mu, do you want to—?"

Mu Yu hurriedly said: "Don't talk nonsense, I didn't see someone following the beauty."

Fang Shuo said: "I'm not talented, but out of these three, I'm afraid only one of them knows martial arts, and he's not a master."

Mu Yu smiled "hehe", her voice became even lower, and she didn't know what to say.

In front of Zhao Zhouxing, there was only a table of two men and women, and the two did not speak. The woman was wearing a water-green dress, with her back to Zhao Zhouxing, and she didn't know what she looked like.The man is wearing Tsing Yi, looks talented, and is drinking.

After a while, the man suddenly got up and left his seat, walked towards Zhao Zhouxing's table, and when he was a step away, he made a bow and opened his mouth, and said: "I am Zheng Jia, people from Binzhou, can I ask Miss Fang's name? "

Zhao Zhouxing has been out for so long, and he has seen a lot of people who come to ask for advice and strike up a conversation like this. Some are prodigal sons, and some have sincere friendship.

As for the two girls who came out with her, Liumo was usually silent, but now she was just slightly on guard and didn't talk to her.Liuzhu replaced Zhao Zhouxing and went back to the man, "You can ask me the name of my princess?"

Whether it is "Princess" or "Palace Master", no one will delve into it. Everyone will follow the most commonly understood one, with the same pronunciation and different words. It is really convenient and you can't make a mistake.

The man was reprimanded like this, but he didn't look annoyed, he just replied Liuzhu lightly: "I didn't ask you."

Although there was no emotion in the voice, listening to it made people feel a bit chilly, Liu Zhu curled her lips, not knowing how to answer for a while.Only then did Zhao Zhouxing speak to Zheng Jia, "My surname is Zhao, and my name is a spirit character."

Zhao Ling, this name is somewhat vague to Zhao Zhouxing. Before she was seven years old, she was called this name. Later, when her father got old, he probably understood that she was destined to be childless. When she was made the crown prince, her name was also changed. Made Zhao Zhouxing.

It's just an old story in the palace, who among the people can know about it, not to mention that the world is so big, there are so many people with the same name, who can connect Zhao Ling with today's world?

Seeing that Zhao Zhouxing let go, the man was overjoyed, and picked up some topics and began to chat, such as where he was going, where he was going, and where he was from.

Zhao Zhouxing didn't show any interest in what he said, and he dealt with it hastily, and the man probably noticed it, found the steps himself, and went back to his table.

As soon as the man left, a gust of wind suddenly swept in from outside, making the six rows of doors of the inn rattle loudly.The clerks in the store hastily put down their work and closed the doors, leaving only one door to indicate that the store is still open.

The man shrank back into the room after closing the door, muttering, "Why is it so cold all of a sudden?"

The accountant was behind the counter, glanced at the waiter, and said, "Of course it's cold when the wind blows."

The guy looked serious, "You don't know, I think it's going to snow outside."

The accountant sneered and said nothing.When Luancheng does not snow in October, the snow always has to wait and wait until March [-]th, when the weather is the coldest, and only a few sporadic falls will satisfy the complaints of literati and poets.Sometimes it doesn't snow all year.

But as the guy said, it was really snowing outside.The snowflakes were like goose feathers, covering them layer by layer, the wind had stopped just now, it seemed that the snow was too heavy and stopped the wind pressure.

Everyone in this room was amazed. Most of them stayed in Luan City often. After staying for a long time, they felt that it was normal that there was no snow here. Now that it snowed, it was still so heavy that it was incredible.

Others couldn't believe it, they deliberately opened the door and looked out, and saw that the snow had fallen all over the ground, glistening against the sky, and a chill came from the outside, going straight to the collar of their clothes, and then retreated, Talking about magic.

People of all colors reacted in different ways, Zhao Zhouxing was not surprised by the snow, but felt that the people in this room reacted strangely, so he called Xiaoer to ask, and after hearing the explanation, he sighed: "It really is a strange thing."

Because of the snow, the staff moved a brazier into the lobby, and just finished it, when a person came in from outside.

This person was not very tall, he looked about thirteen or fourteen years old, and he was wearing a hooded cloak covered in snowflakes. Because his head was lowered, the hood covered half of his face under the shadow.He was holding something wrapped in cloth in his arms. It looked like a sword, but ordinary swords were usually two or three fingers wide, but this sword was as wide as a palm.

This person came in with the chill outside, and the guests who were close couldn't help shrinking from the chill, but the clerk could only come forward and asked if he was staying at the top.

"One upper room." The man said, his voice was probably between the mature and the immature, with a sense of immaturity that cannot be faded at this age.

After hearing this, the clerk hurriedly tried his best to make his smiling face more flattering, and his tone was submissive but without any sincere apology, "All our rooms are full today, and only the rooms with black name are left. Guest officer Do you see this—?"

Those who are often outside know that this situation is very common, and there is no way to make do with it once in a while.But the man didn't react, just kept silent.The little second brother was a little confused by the silence, so he simply continued what he had said in half:

"——It's not easy to do business in a small shop. Can you make things difficult for a night?"

The man still didn't speak, but moved the arm holding the sword.

The buddy broke out in a cold sweat secretly, and thought that this person should not be wielding a sword as soon as he comes up.He has seen many "heroes". If you can't say a word, you will die. It's really frightening.

Xiao Er was feeling a bit timid, but suddenly heard a woman inside say: "If this girl doesn't mind, you and I can share the same room."

Xiao Er looked back in surprise, and it wasn't the veiled beauty who was speaking.
