Westerly suburbs. Dongfeng garden.
Named after the word "east wind" in the "small building last night, there are hundreds of flowers and strange trees inside. It is a beautiful palace built outside by Chu Ning, the former Princess of the Xifeng empire.
Chu Xianda was assassinated by Lu, at least according to the official propaganda. Chuning's uncle King Fu succeeded to the throne, so Chu Xianda became the first emperor of the west wind, and chuning became the former Princess of the west wind empire.
Naturally, the former princess could no longer live in the palace, and chuning and his brothers and sisters were all driven out.
They don't dare not drive.
The old former Prince and princess have already closed the hospital, so they don't have to worry about living. Those younger brothers and sisters were uniformly arranged by the Chu clan.
On the stone pavilion, Chu Ning is drawing a picture of the east wind, which uses the golden hook point line method taught by Gu barren. In a strict sense, she is really gifted in the way of painting and calligraphy. Gu Huangwu, who is known as "the best of both calligraphy and painting", really treats her differently. When her painting skills are advancing by leaps and bounds, she is also willing to give her more advice and instruction.
Chu Ning is good at calligraphy and painting, so he is often proud of his achievements.
However, Chu Ning's sense of satisfaction suddenly disintegrated when he thought of Li shepherd who wrote all the spring. It's like climbing halfway up the mountain and looking up, you find that the people next to you have already stood on the top. Moreover, people use much less time and force than you.
Talent!
God gave him the ability. He just needed to reach out and catch it. How could there be such a lucky guy in the world?
"Lucky?" Chu Ning thought of this problem. The brush in his hand could not help but stagnate. A large mass of ink was dyed on the rice paper, and a picture of Dongfeng snow that had just outlined the general outline was destroyed.
She looked at the ink on the paper with some heartache, sighed gently, threw the brush in her hand to the maid around her, and then took the warm towel handed over by the maid's painting and wiped her hand.
"Princess, are you in a bad mood today? The snow cherry blossoms in the garden are blooming. Why don't we go to the garden to enjoy the flowers? Maybe the young lady is happy and inspired when she sees those snow cherry blossoms. "
"No." Chu Ning said with some irritability“ At this time, where is the mood to draw? "
After a pause, he said something boring: "but if you don't draw, what can you do?"
"Princess, why don't we go to the hunting park? Doesn't the princess like hunting best? No, if we go to the hunting park to see if we can catch rabbits -- "
"No." Chuning refused“ The strength to pull the bow is gone. "
The maid Hua'er looked at Chu Ning with some worry and said, "princess, since you came back from XingKong college, you haven't stepped out of the gate. I'm worried that the princess's bones will be suffocated. Princess, why don't you go out and relax? "
"I want to go out for a walk. I'm afraid they don't like it either? I'm afraid they'll catch up with me as soon as my front feet go out. " Chu Ning snorted coldly.
"Princess, be careful." The picture was frightened and hurriedly reminded.
Chu Ning sighed deeply and said, "don't call me a princess in the future. Is there such a poor Princess imprisoned?"
"Princess" -- "
Chu Ning was silent for a moment and suddenly asked, "I heard that Li shepherd --"
"Princess, that's a black dragon. When you are in front of someone, never call that person's name again. The song and Cui families hate it to the bone, and the Xifeng people also shout to kill. I'm afraid it will have a bad effect on the princess. "
"OK. That's a black dragon -- "Chu Ning clenched his teeth and corrected it“ It is said that the black dragon had a very close relationship with Cui carefully of the Cui family when he was in Jiangnan City? "
"Yes." The painter nodded“ That's what everyone says. "
Chu Ning nodded and said, "Cui, be careful. How about now?"
"I heard that I was going to marry the Song family Yushu and song Tingyun. Both the Song family and the Cui family have announced the news. It is said that they will get married soon ---------- if song Tingyun hadn't been seriously injured and needed to recuperate while slaughtering the dragon, I'm afraid the day of great joy is approaching? "
"Cui, be careful?"
"Princess, what happened to Miss Cui?"
"I mean, did she show any abnormal emotions?"
"Exception?" The painting thought for a while and said, "Miss, I haven't heard of it. As you know, painting is just a slave. When the princess was practicing in the college, Huaer lived in the palace city. When the princess came back from the college, Hua'er followed the princess here. "
Chu Ning also knew that she couldn't get any news from a little servant girl. What's more, she was a princess of the west wind. She was unruly and willful. She took everything from everyone or everything. She never felt that there was anything she couldn't get under the Divine Land ----- so she didn't pay attention to establishing some of her own private team at that time.
Even because of their own personality, they really offended many people. If the father had not just died and the princess's remaining power was still there, I'm afraid those people would not make their life easier.
Now that my father has died, I am a princess without a name. Those people will not see themselves in the eyes, nor will they come to flatter and send any news.
"We still have to cultivate a few reliable people." Chuning thought in his heart“ You can also deliver a message at a critical moment. "
"Send my name post to Cui's house and say I'm going to visit Miss Cui's house." Chu Ning said.
"Princess, are you going out?"
"I'll go to Cui's house. Can't they stop it? "
"OK. Then I'll arrange it now. " Although Hua'er hesitated, he thought that the princess was finally willing to go out and went to the Cui family, which occupied great interests in this reshuffle. I don't think others would have any opinions.
After all, Lu collapsed, and now the Tiandu city is the strongest except the Song family and the Cui family. Cui Xichen, the father of the Cui family, has made great contributions to the establishment of a new king this time, and has really reaped a lot of benefits.
If it weren't for the attitude of the Song family, I'm afraid they took away all the important military and political positions after Lu's fall.
Hua'er hurried away, and Chu Ning stared at the thin ice lake in a daze.
"Li shepherd, are you really a dragon? My father was really killed by you? "

------------
It was getting warmer and the snow in the yard had begun to melt. Plum blossoms are not as fragrant as before, but snow cherry is red and yellow. It's beautiful to open.
Cui carefully is playing chess with others. Sitting opposite is a dignified woman wearing a black robe with big red peach blossoms.
I can't see her age clearly, but there is a clear and intelligent feeling between her eyebrows and eyes.
After the woman fell down again, she looked at Cui carefully with interest, giggled and said, "be careful, how many times have you lost to me today? In the past, when you were in Jiangnan, your chess power was as good as mine, and even lost slightly to me. Every time we play chess, I lose more and win less - - today I beat you three games in a row, which is very abnormal. "
"My aunt is good at chess. It's better to be careful." Cui carefully put the chess pieces in his hand into the chess jar and said softly.
"It's not that I'm good at chess, but that you're bad at chess. How can you win chess when your heart is not in chess? " Cui xinporcelain said with a smile.
"Aunt. Don't make fun of me. " Cui cautiously said angrily“ Don't you know my mood? "
"I understand. How can I not understand? " Cui xinporcelain sighed gently. She stretched out her hand to hold Cui's cold hand and said, "originally, your uncle took office this time. I wanted to stay in Jiangnan for the winter. I really don't want to be tired of traveling. It's just because I care about your situation that I'm forced to come and have a look. Be careful, are you okay? "
"Aunt, I'm fine." Cui carefully looked expressionless and said, "what can I do? Everything is arranged. Didn't my aunt tell me earlier? "
"I have told you for a long time and told you countless times - but when that day comes, it is still unacceptable." Cui xinporcelain said sadly“ That's a scar and a ridge in my heart. How can I say that the past is over? "
"What can we do?" Cui whispered carefully“ My aunt finally chose to accept such a fate. "
"What I accept is my destiny, but what you accept is your destiny." Cui xinporcelain looked at Cui carefully“ Can you do that? Like me? "
Cui was careful and dull for a long time. He looked up at the beautiful eyes close at hand and asked, "aunt, do you think you are happy?"
"Happy?" Cui xinporcelain pondered for a long time, as if he were seriously thinking about this problem“ I don't know whether happiness is happy or not, but I know that this is the most suitable. The person I liked in those years may not be suitable for me in the end. And now this person, after years of getting along, also feels nothing bad. "
Cui carefully remained silent for a long time.
"Be careful, tell your aunt, what are you hesitating about? Is there anyone you can't let go? "
Cui shook his head carefully and said, "aunt, there is no one I can't let go. Since my aunt has taken that road, other imperial celebrities have taken that road to prove that it is right. What I want to go is just to follow step by step. "
"If you really think so, you won't lose me three games of chess in one afternoon." Cui xinporcelain held out a finger, nodded on Cui's careful forehead and said, "you grew up around your aunt since childhood. Don't I know you yet? Is it the black boy who can't let go of Jiangnan City? "
The long eyelashes flashed, and Cui Xiaoxin said without lifting his head: "aunt, how can you think of him? He and I are just classmates. "
"You don't even dare to look into my eyes. Are you afraid I'll see through that you're lying?" A smile appeared on Cui xinporcelain's mouth“ Be careful, I know his name is Li shepherd. I know he was admitted to XingKong college. I know he is excellent. I know he has many places you like ------ but be careful, I heard he is a dragon. "
"I don't care whether he is a real dragon or a fake dragon. As long as he is now labeled as a dragon by the nine kingdoms royal family, he will never be able to wash away this disgrace all his life. China is vast. Where can he live? If you choose him, it's a dangerous road - no, it's a journey of death. "
"Be careful, if you choose other men, any man in Tiandu city. As long as you say you like it, you don't want to give up. I will say to you, go after it, and I'll help you escape marriage. My aunt will carry it for you. However, if it was Li shepherd ------ No. I don't care what others think, I won't promise. "
"Aunt" -- "Cui carefully took a sip of hot tea with a teacup, allowed the bitter tea to stir on the tip of his tongue, tried to suppress the annoyance in his heart, and said softly," I understand. I won't let you worry. "
"That's good." Cui xinporcelain looked into Cui's eyes and said, "be careful, are you really okay?"
Cui looked up carefully and said in a relaxed voice, "it's all right. I'm fine. "
The maid pushed the door in and whispered, "Miss, Princess chuning came to visit you."
"Princess chuning?" Cui thought carefully for a moment and said, "next, say I'm waiting at any time."
"Yes, miss." The maid bowed.
Cui xinporcelain looked thoughtfully at the incense note in Cui's hand and asked, "you used to know each other very well?"
"No."
"That's strange." Cui xinporcelain said aloud“ You can see it, but be careful. Also, your grandfather certainly doesn't like you to have close contact with the descendants of the former Emperor. "
"I understand." Cui whispered carefully.

Dawu. Guan Jinzhou.
Jinzhou is an important border city of Dawu, and guanjinzhou is a town on the Dawu border.
Out of guanjinzhou is the inaccessible Kunlun snow mountain covered with snow all year round. Therefore, as the name suggests, guanjinzhou actually wants to lock Jinzhou in Dawu territory. It seems that if it doesn't matter, the Jinzhou City will be swallowed by the legendary beasts in the Kunlun ruins.
Fenglai inn is the largest Inn in guanjinzhou. Guests can rest and eat a bowl of hot soup.
After all, it's hard to eat hot food outside Jinzhou.
Kunlun ruins is a place of miracles, and there are countless legends about it in guanjin Prefecture.
Therefore, no matter what kind of purpose you want to enter the mountain, you will settle down in guanjinzhou for a while and make a little inquiry. Maybe you can get some details from the ancient stories or legends spread among local residents to help them open the Kunlun divine palace, or find the Kaiming beast, the gatekeeper of the divine palace.
The business of Fenglai inn is not bad, because people who want to enter the mountain settle here every day.
The business of Fenglai inn is not good, because only a few people have the courage to enter the mountain after all.
In the leaky lobby of the inn, there are a few tables of guests. Some of these people are local residents and lazy people in guanjinzhou, and some are animal hunters or treasure hunters who take a break here in order to enter the mountain.
At the door of the inn, near the window, sat a man covered with black robes.
I couldn't see his face clearly. I only saw the hands sticking out of the black robe.
The fingers are slender and slender, and the joints are powerful.
He is buried in a bowl of beef noodles in front of him. The sticky noodles and hard as stone beef can be seen that the chef of this inn cooks very casually.
"Have you heard? A few days ago, the big black dog of Zhang Mazi's family dragged an arm back from outside the pass. The brand on it is the Tusi people we met last time -- "
"Yesterday, another group of people went in, and I don't know if anyone can come back alive ------ whether it's good to live well or not, do you have to go into the mountain to die? There are some big guys hidden in Kunlun Mountain ------ "
"How big can that black dragon be? It is said that the black dragon was bigger than a city. When it fell from the sky, it collapsed a city, and hundreds of thousands of people were lost in the whole city -- "
---------
Hearing someone lead the topic to the black dragon, all the people in the inn slowed down and listened, and others looked at the place where the people at the table were talking.
"The royal families of the nine countries united to kill dragons. I didn't expect to see the second dragon killing war in my lifetime ----"
"This dragon is also stupid. He dared to expose his identity. Didn't it attract people all over the world to attack? It's a pity that the dragon has been slaughtered, otherwise, my deadly Yama Sabre will scrape a dragon scale off it -- "
"I'm afraid you've been sprayed into coke by it?"
---------
"Who said the dragon was slaughtered by the Terran?" At the gate of the inn, a big man with a wide mouth and a huge sword came in and glanced in the direction of the idle men with disdain“ What's the matter? You're not convinced. What's the matter? This is the official news released by the royal family of the nine countries - a little black dragon. Do you think it can escape the encirclement and suppression of the experts of the nine countries? You have too long dragon ambition to destroy my Terran prestige? "“ The royal family of the nine countries can't afford to lose this face. It's also to reassure the people of China, so it announced that the dragon was slaughtered ----- otherwise, the nine countries' courts sent countless experts to search for the Dragon news. What's the reason? The dragons have been slaughtered. What else are you looking for? "“ Ha ha ha, it's so funny. Where did you get the grapevine news, you wild man? You don't want to inquire. Is there something in Jinzhou that Grandpa Yama Dao doesn't know? "“ Third brother, what are you doing with some idle men? It's not enough to drink wind and eat sand all the way to dry your mouth? " Behind the giant sword man is a middle-aged young woman with excellent demeanor. A woman has a plump figure and fair skin. When she speaks, her eyes are shining and rippling like water. Her face is always smiling and flattering“ There are too many fools in the world. What can I do? What can I do? " Beside the young woman, a young man dressed as a scholar shook his head and sighed. The man is holding a book in his hand, called the collection of weeds. Even when he lowers his head and walks, his eyes have been staring at the book. It looks like he is addicted to it and doesn't want to pull out his eyes“ The third brother doesn't want those fools to dirty their eyes, does he? " Choking ----- the deadly Yama Dao pulled out his long knife, pointed to the gentle but abusive nerd and shouted, "what are you talking about, little bastard? Who do you call a fool? Tell Grandpa again if you have the ability. " The nerd looked down at the book and ignored the provocation of the deadly Yama sabre“ Little bastard, say you. " The deadly Yama sword shouted again. The nerd still looked down at the book and didn't look at the deadly Yama knife at all. The yama sword was ashamed and angry. His body flew up and hit the nerd's head with a knife. The nerd stretched out his hand as if he were stretching at will. Then the huge Yama sword fell into the nerd's hand“ Who are you talking to? " The nerd looked at the hell knife and asked aloud“ Son of a bitch, grandpa is talking to you -- "click" -- the nerd's finger makes a little effort, and the big knife is pinched to pieces by him. Plop! Yama Dao's body fell to the ground and stared at the weak nerd in horror“ I'm not called a little bastard, and I'm not called a dog bastard. Remember, my name is Tu Xin. If you feel sick, I will kill you. " He kicked it, and the body of the hell Sabre flew up, smashed countless seats and the wall of the inn, and flew out. Hua La ---- several men at the table of Yama Dao pulled out their weapons and prepared to fight with the weak scholar. The charming young woman waved her hand and said with a smile: "don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive, have something to say, don't dance with a knife and a gun. It's so scary --" "who are you?" Someone asked aloud. Yama Sabre has been moved for seconds. They are not idiots. Naturally, they know that these people have a good cultivation level. Before fighting, at least find out the bottom of each other“ I'm not afraid of your jokes. " The coquettish young woman looked ashamed and said, "my family is weak. When I was a child, my dream was to become the first female dragon slaughtering hero, and I have been working towards this goal. But I searched all over the famous mountains and rivers and the nine kingdoms of China, and I couldn't find the shadow of the dragon. I am discouraged and ready to go home to teach my husband and children. But I didn't expect that there was a dragon, which was almost slaughtered by the nine kingdoms of China. "-" therefore, my family and several senior brothers came all the time to re form a dragon slaughtering team in order to find the trace of the black dragon. Brothers, we're here to kill dragons. We don't want to kill people. After all, killing people can't be a hero of killing people. They will also get a bad reputation and can't get married in the future. Right? You just let the weak go, okay? Please. " Those big men look at me, I look at you, looking at each other. Is this woman begging someone to let them go or forcing someone to kill them?
