The night is heavy.
On the west side of Star City, there is an artificial canal that leads directly to Baigang. The canal is about ten meters wide, which is enough to allow two small passenger ships to pass side by side. The history of this river can be traced back to the time when Star City was first built. The construction of that year required a lot of water, and it was always too troublesome to transport rail cars back and forth. Everyone worked together to open such a canal, which can facilitate the transportation of materials. You can also get water on the spot, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
However, as the progress of urban construction progressed, this muddy-smelling river gradually lost its function and was forgotten in a corner. And because the seawater is attracted and the inland plants cannot survive on the ground, well-intentioned people planted white dragon fruit trees on these two banks. Year after year, the river bank was transformed into two rows of green trees. gallery. When the fruit matures in autumn, the palm-like leaves gradually turn red, and there will be countless finger-thin fruit clusters floating along the river, with fiery red roots, like a fish dragon, dancing with Poman, magnificent. The unique view of Star City.
Shun was hiding in this red and white wave. He lowered his waist and hid his cloak, poking out his head carefully from the smooth and waxy white dragon tree, staring at the iron building in front of him like an experienced hunter. Deep small building.
Beside him, the broad young master Lonnie leaned against the tree rooted with a rigid face. Because he hadn't taken a good rest for many days, his eye bags had turned blue, and the bloodshot was as much as the roots of the tree under his feet—but not The reason for his stinky face. Not long ago, he had finished soaking in the hot bath and was about to rest. The liar rushed in without warning, so scared that he conditioned the quilt tightly, and almost didn't shout. Help.
After a moment of panic, the prince urged him to change clothes and go to the hall, but before he could react, he slammed the door and left, leaving him with a pale face inexplicably. The next thing was even more speechless. He suffocated his breath and changed into a dark robe. As soon as he went downstairs to the living room, he heard the same white bird that was awakened for no reason yelling.
"It's so annoying! It's not what the bird dreamed about. Ask her yourself!" The fat bird, who had lost his patience, sprayed his rough air, shrank into the soft sofa blanket, closed his eyes and said nothing. Up.
Shun could only turn his eyes to the bewildered sister beside him again: "Remember what?"
The girl wore a silk skirt decorated with light purple flowers. She sat stiffly on the sofa. Her small eyes blinked and fell sleepy. After a moment of wandering, she seemed to remember something. She slowly said, "There is still red The tree...white dragon fruit, many, many..." She didn't have much impression of other things, but remembered clearly what she ate, she was really greedy.
"White Dragon Fruit Tree?" The prince was unfamiliar with the terrain inside and outside the Star City, and immediately turned to look at Lonnie and cast a questioning wink.
Kuo Shao turned his head and became angry, and confronted the liar for more than a minute, then raised his neck and pointed contemptuously: "The white dragon tree can only grow by the sea. Only the West River Road in Star City has a lot of plants."
"Take me there to see..." Shun didn't give any explanation for the disturbing behavior in the middle of the night, and insisted on him to lead the way.
"What a joke! I'm going to sleep, so I don't bother to care about you weird guys!" He was so angry that his forehead was puffing up, and he turned around to leave, but the prince held the back of his neck with one hand.
"You...what are you doing!?" He panicked, shaking his eyes and pulling his backhand forcefully, which happened to grab Shun's cloak tightly.
The two of them didn't let go of each other as if they were wrestling. After a few gazes, the prince slowly moved his gaze to the hand holding his coat with a cold face, and then... and then he was caught like a chicken Brought to this mangrove corridor.
It's violent! Fortunately, it was a man... He rubbed the still red neck angrily, glanced at the girl who was casually fishing the white dragon fruit by the river in front of him, and his mind became active again: the emperor was very quiet and looked at it. It's cute, although it's not his favorite kind, and it's a little young...
However, when the liar takes the throne next year, she will be the eldest princess. If you can take advantage of the heaven-sent opportunity to get your heart, then I will be the eldest son of Takiguni! ? When the time comes to return to the South Island, how beautiful it will be, hehe... all kinds of bad thoughts in his mind are rolling around, his eyes are getting more and more wretched, and Shun next to him seems to have noticed his bad intentions and suddenly whispers. One sentence.
"Wh...what?" Young Master Kuo was distracted, completely ignoring what he said, turning his head back in a panic, and then being pulled up by the prince.
"Try again to see if you can smell any signs." Shun stared at the small building for a long time without seeing any movement, a little bit impatient. Since his sister unexpectedly ran to him and told him that he had dreamed as far as possible, his heart hadn't settled down anymore. He was clueless in a foreign land, dragged Lonnie to find the foreseen building, but he was worried and didn't dare to act rashly. After confirming with Mi You that there was no danger as far away as possible, he used illusion technique to hide to his side, secretly watching and waiting for the opportunity.
Although it is midnight, there are many aristocratic children roaring by in convertible locomotives on the main road in the distance, playing around at the party, but this small single-family building is quiet, even without lights, just like Generally deserted.
What happened to that guy... Could it be that someone was trapped in this building? He was already anxious in his heart, and when he turned his head to see Kuo Shao's dreamy pig face, he was even more angry. He didn't care whether the other party was obligated to help, and he was forced to continue working as soon as he dragged someone.
Although Lonnie was full of reluctance, seeing the prince's face that was as dark as the bottom of a pot, he didn't dare to touch his beard at this juncture. He cursed a few words silently, and he managed to smell it with his supernatural power. The familiar and delicate scent rushed into his nose again, making him full of bitterness. He didn't have the guts to complain to the culprit. He could only grit his teeth and press his heart throbbing, trying to distinguish the messy smell around him. However, a few minutes passed, and there were no special traces in the humid night breeze except for the perennial tobacco smell, earthy smell and fruity aroma.
"I didn't smell it." He tried in vain for a while and then gave up. He replied dryly, leaning against the bottom of the tree again, unwilling to make trouble.
Although Shun had already foreseen this result, he was still a little bit regretful. He scanned the small building again, not wanting to wait any longer, turned around and walked to the riverside and whispered in the direction of the girl: "Ahuang, come here. ."
"What's the matter?" The fat bird slowly swallowed the white dragon fruit that the girl had peeled and fed, shaking his feathers and glancing at his small eyes, but he didn't mean to pass.
"Come and do a favor..." The prince looked at its rapid deeds and couldn't help being annoyed secretly, but he was powerless to do this and could only ask it to do it. He knew that this lazy guy couldn't use it without seeing the benefits, and he didn't hesitate to directly offer the price: "Three meals of Jinding Pavilion sea and land."
"Huh?" After hearing this, Ahuang's eyes rolled and he started a little calculation: Jinding Pavilion is a royal dining restaurant, dedicated to hosting palace banquets and entertaining foreign envoys, and ordinary people can't have a feast. It’s just that with its many years of experience in Cengfan, the cooking there is very elegant, but most of them use vegetables as the main ingredients, and the taste...
It felt faintly smashed, smashed its mouth, the prince saw that it was silent for a long time, and added a bargaining chip: "Add three more meals for the four seasons of the Egret Pavilion."
"Add six more meals!" Fat Bird doubled unceremoniously, and saw the prince pull his face down, and shouted confidently, "There is also Xiao Miyou!"
"...Okay." Shun deliberately struggled for a moment before responding. He watched the Fat Bird triumphantly flap its wings and flew to his shoulder, and sneered in his heart. This foolish Fat Bird thought he was asking for a bargain, but he didn't say that he would cash it. time……
"Why did you call this bird?" Ahuang lied on his shoulder and adjusted his feathers. Seeing him silently, he urged him again, as if he would be able to eat the expected meal when he was done.
Now that the prince had set the reward, he evoked it with the slightest hesitation: "Let's check it out and learn how to make a few pigeons to see if there is any reaction in it."
"What? Let the wise be like a bird to learn how to call a dove!? It's a loss of a bird... It's too outrageous..." The fat bird murmured a few words, but it didn't mean anything. He flapped his wings and flew towards the small building. .
Lonnie on the side seldom saw the liar suffer. He pulled his mouth and tried to hold back his laugh. He really felt sick. He was also very curious about the talking Shiratori. At first he thought it was a high-intelligence variant, but seeing the future ruler of Takiguni was also polite to it, he couldn't help but figure out its true identity.
Couldn't it be a high-level fanatic who changed it to protect the royal family members... He watched the white bird hovering around the small building and screamed, thinking it was very possible, and he secretly paid attention, don't To offend this unpredictable "transformer".
Ahuang stupidly pretended to be a pigeon for a long time. Seeing that there was still no sound in the small building, he flew back with anger, and complained to the prince: "What a fancy! There is no one in that house. What a waste This bird’s precious time!"
It flapped its wings vigorously as if venting its anger, then flew back to Miyou's shoulder to beg for food, and forgot to pay the bill. Shun stared at the iron gate in front of the building for a long while, finally made up his mind, grabbed Lonnie, and walked to the gate under the cover of illusion.
He looked at the red iron door that had been rusted and rusted through wind and rain, and was wondering how to enter it. Suddenly he heard a few small and light noises from inside, and he immediately regained his spirit and drew his long knife to the iron without hesitation. Lock it up. The magic weapon made by Jinggong broke the door lock like a piece of paper. He kicked the door open, grabbed the sleeve of Kuo Shao's sleeve, and rushed in. Using the red magic light attached to the knife to illuminate, he went straight to the sound.
As soon as Lonnie entered the door, he subconsciously brought up his supernatural power and smelled it. It really smelled like that green-haired kid, but it was more of... it was the delicate smell of Mrs. Lovina! Could it be that the owner of this house... is also a big fan of the lady? He didn't care about whether Jinyuan was safe and sound in his heart, but he felt a little bit of sympathy with the owner who had never met before, and he got a little stagnant at his feet and almost fell over by the prince.
"Concentrate!" Shun frowned and rebuked, and pulled the rich man closer. The two almost ran up to the second floor close to each other. Hearing the sound again, they disappeared without a trace. .
"Let's smell it." He held the long knife obliquely and listened for a few seconds, still nothing. He winked at Lonnie, Ku Shao sniffed his face, pointed to the left front and whispered back: " The thickest over there."
The prince immediately dragged him to move on. The two asked and answered, sniffing as they walked, and finally found outside the bedroom door where they could heal as far as possible. He was about to break the door in the same way, when he realized that the door was actually open, he couldn't help his heart beat, he immediately held the knife in both hands and ran into it sideways.
There seemed to be no one in the room, the curtains were tightly closed, and there was a bit of blood in the darkness besides the strong smell of medicine. Shun was also a person who fought in the field of life and death, and he was particularly sensitive to this smell. There was a chill immediately: Has something happened?
He didn't dare to delay the time, urging Lonnie to continue smelling the scent, treating him as a well-trained guard dog and following the invisible clue.
In the dim laneway outside the small building, the old housekeeper Louis put on a black cloak and covered his face with a face towel, leaving only those thin eyes that looked like cold light. He burdened him as far as he could from the back door of the stronghold, and ran all the way from the back door of the stronghold. Although he was weighed down, he was still full of energy and not tired.
He had always slept very shallowly, but he felt uncomfortable when he heard the sudden sound of bird calls, and hurriedly called to evacuate as far as possible. This secret stronghold was built by the river. He should have bypassed the alleys and got into the canal shaded by mangroves, using the power of the ice to go down the water, but the young master was not healed, and he dared not risk the inflammation. To touch the muddy river in danger, you can only take a long and detour. It didn't take long for him to keenly perceive someone behind him tracking. He didn't know who that person was, but at this point in time, there would never be a friend visiting without notice.
He also wore a black cloak as far as he could, holding the brand new black iron spear tightly in his hand, leaning on the old man's shoulder silently. He regained some sense of his legs, and he couldn't stand normally, let alone walking and running. He could only rely on the help of the old housekeeper to rush to the next secret road. He was still thinking about the bird calls just now, and he always felt very familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere...
"Young master, someone is coming behind you. Hold tight and I will use a little trick." The old man said in a calm voice, sprinkling frost on the dark part of the alley with his backhand, forming a transparent slide against the ground. Skating belt. Not long after he strode forward, he heard the screams from behind because of a sudden fall, and he was more certain of his judgment. He walked on the dark trails, walking non-stop, and ice traps lined up all the way. Continuously.
Hearing the exclamation as far away as possible, there was a thump in my heart, and I suddenly became nervous. He didn't need to think too much to distinguish the owner of the voice, it was Lonnie West, the South Island rich man who disgusted him deeply. But how did this guy find himself? Suspicions arose in his heart for an instant, and he didn't think about it again. This wasted wood had nothing but money. It must be Shun who did not know how to find clues before he found it! Then the bird song just now... isn't it the tone of Ah Huang? ?
He was really panicked now. If he touched Shun here, how would he explain all this? He was full of terrible consequences, and subconsciously tightened his arms, his breathing became heavy. The old man immediately sensed his strangeness, and hurriedly turned his head and asked softly: "Little young master, is the pain recurring? I will give you medicine first."
He stretched out his hand to poke into his belt, but was stopped as far as he could: "Grandpa Louis, you immediately... find a bright and open place to put me down..."
"What?" The old housekeeper froze in amazement, wondering if he had heard it wrong, and the pace of the mechanical operation stopped.
"His Royal Highness is chasing... after you put me down... you immediately attacked me with divine power!" The gun guard categorically said the self-harm command, making the old man silent for an instant, his eyelids fluttered but he didn't know what to do.
He knew very well that although the young master didn’t say anything, he really didn’t know how much he cared about the identity of the capital. If he meets the prince here, I’m afraid... but he wants to fake his identities and hurt himself as flesh and blood. My child, he, how can he do it! ?
"Hurry up..." Seeing that the old man hadn't reacted for a long time and didn't know when Shun would catch up, he couldn't help but urged, and finally attracted a long sigh from the old housekeeper.
"Okay...Okay, young master you...you, take care of yourself..." He finished this sentence in a trembling voice, and the two Feiyue stood under the street lamp at the entrance of the alley, trembling as soon as they let go. She lost her back, as if she was old for several years in an instant.
He didn't dare to look back, he settled down, and rallied his whole body strength. The ice and snow divine light immediately flooded the entire lane. Numerous ice spears seemed to be effortless, and they shot as far as possible to the limbs, but after all The key is avoided.
The gun guard reluctantly stood with an iron spear. Seeing the ice thorn hit, he also condensed a layer of divine power light shield to resist, and bit the tip of his tongue, deliberately dripping blood with his mouth, making it look like he had been fighting for a long time. The two divine powers violently collided for a few breaths. Just as he was a little unable to support his physical weakness, he heard an exclamation from behind: "Far away!"
It's finally here... he suddenly loosened the strength he was holding on to his chest, the divine power light shield flashed a few times and instantly collapsed, and his figure was also drowned in the icy ice. The blood was sprinkled with the collision and shattered icy debris. He was swallowed by the torrential chill, and he almost didn't realize the pain of the ice sword across his skin. There was only a faint joy of relief, accompanied by that sound that shocked the world. Shouting bitterly, the whole consciousness gradually sank into the darkness.
"Far away!" Shun watched the green-haired figure swallowed by frost, only feeling that he was also in the vortex of cold waves, showing the coldness of his heart. The man in black immediately drew back from the blow, but he had no intention of chasing after him, leaving Lonnie to fly toward the center of the snow storm.
Although the Frost Sword offensive had ceased after the caster left, the cold surrounding the alley was still rising, covering the ground with frost. He was bulging with purple light all over to resist the attack of the cold, and he pierced the long knife straight into the ground. He half-kneeled and held the unconscious gun guard in his arms. Seeing his bloodless face like a frozen zombie body, his mind was full Blank, only the heartbeat that screamed in horror.
"As far as... as far as possible?" He hurriedly exclaimed two mouthfuls of white mist, shaking his hands close to his thin purple lips, gathering the perceptive power scattered to the limbs, and finally touched a weak breath, this heart counted. Slightly dropped to the ground.
He didn't hesitate for a moment, he pulled off his cloak and wrapped it around his body, then lifted the lining of his waist, and took out a small ball with a scorching white light from his pocket. He stretched out his index finger and wiped it on the long blade on the side, dripping the bleeding blood on the ball of light, and in a flash, the light burst forth like a burst. He immediately pushed the ball as far as he could into his mouth, and held his mouth for a few seconds, until the white light gradually emerged from the cloak, and then he fell on the ice and aroused a burr.
That person... who is it? How could you fight him as far as possible? Since it's so dangerous, why don't you come back and find me! ? A series of questions roared in his mind, he clenched his lower lip unconsciously, and his eyes became more blurred under the radiance of the continuous light and divine power. But he never let go of the rigid ice hand he was holding, until he felt that his palm was getting softer, then he closed his eyes and sighed the white smoke.
Lonnie hid in the alley and watched him sitting on the ground like a clay sculpture. He didn't know if the green-haired boy was alive or dead. He only felt that the atmosphere was dignified and depressing. After a few chills, he wanted to leave, but he was afraid that people would turn his head and blame him. Stepping back and forth. At this moment, Shun was calm again. He could hear the hesitant footsteps behind him. He immediately bounced and stood up. He picked up his hands as far as he could hug his chest, and said without looking back, "Go find a locomotive."
Kuo Shao looked at him in a gold-embroidered black robe standing under the lamp, lined with that long black hair, and only felt that the mighty power was on his face, and it was another cold war. He longed to go home immediately, swallowed nervously and was about to leave, thinking about it, he turned around and said, "Where to go?"
"...Eastern Suburb Embassy." Shun didn't even look at him, hugged the person in his arms, jumped onto the roof of the low building beside the road, and ran towards the small building where Miyou was.
The things foreseen in my sister’s dreams really happened... Fortunately, at the last moment, I finally caught up, otherwise... his face was grinded and his teeth creaked, and the murderous intent in his black pupils almost suppressed everything. The anger that burst out, only a little lingering luck.
After this encounter, he already felt that the situation in the South Island was definitely not simple. He put away all the carelessness, and planned to completely turn the cause and effect upside down: no matter who is behind the scenes, who dares to hurt me, never leave Want to give it up!
