Mai Mai slowly exhaled and smiled kindly at the simple herdsmen around her, "Hello, my name is Mai Mai, and I am... the person who wants to marry your king."
When dealing with these kind and lovely people in front of her, she simply used her most essential self to face them. After leaving the Kaisa Dynasty, she was no longer Lan Xuanyun.
"Wow, it's the mistress. She's so beautiful. See you, mistress."
Everyone knelt down towards Mai Mai, and they knelt down happily and proudly. Their mistress was the Dragon Girl. I heard that she was a very powerful person in Qisa. She could not only control the wind and rain, but also lead troops.
Fighting. Children on the grassland who did not grow up on horses admire heroes the most. As soon as they heard the rumors about her, they immediately accepted the mistress who was brought from Qisa.
Looking at the people kneeling around him, Mai Mai quickly bent down and helped the oldest old man up. "Get up quickly. If you kneel to me like this, I won't dare to come out in the future." Mai Mai joked.
She made everyone laugh, and her approachability immediately won their favor.
These are the prairie people that can only be learned about in textbooks. They are simple, kind, warm and hospitable, and are not used to intrigues and intrigues. Their hearts are like eagles soaring on the prairie, free and unrestrained. Even though she has just set foot on the grassland.
She came to this land, but she didn't feel unfamiliar at all. It was as if she had belonged here a long time ago.
Yi Su took a step forward steadily and said, "Mistress, please come this way."
The herdsmen very considerately made way for them and looked at Mai Mai with a smile.
"Yes," Mai Mai smiled politely at them and led the saints behind him across.
Directly in front of them were more than twenty tall and handsome horses lined up. The hot breath sprayed from their noses formed a white mist in the cold air.
"Mistress, do you know how to ride a horse?" Guisu came over with a smile, took the handsome white horse in the middle, and said as if offering a treasure, "It's called 'Snow Goose', and it is a treasure of our Yanbei Kingdom. The entire grassland
This is the only one! The mistress loves it so much that we won’t even touch it. As soon as the mistress comes, the mistress will serve as your mount without saying a word. Let me tell you, it’s because of our mistress’s dignity.
big."
Mai Mai's eyes were instantly attracted to the 'Snow Goose'. It is completely white with no variegation. When reflected in the sun, its coat will emit a dazzling white halo. It is strong, handsome, and unique in appearance. It is very similar.
The two-winged horse in Greek mythology. It stood there quietly, looking very docile.
He walked over slowly and stretched out his hand tentatively.
"No……"
Before Yi Su could even send out his warning sound, Mai Mai's hand was already close to its hair.
"Oh my God, Xueyan asked someone to touch it!" Liu Kang opened his eyes in disbelief.
Zhensu also stared at the scene in front of him in surprise.
"It's so beautiful," Mai Mai stroked it gently, then pressed her face against it, and stretched out her arms to wrap around its neck. It was like a child who had received a beloved gift and couldn't put it down.
Xue Yan just turned his head slightly, glanced at the person next to him, and tapped his head a few times. Looking at it like that, it seemed a bit like he was acknowledging it.
This time, even Guisu's eyes widened and he could fit an ostrich egg into his mouth. This shock was like when he suddenly discovered that he was a woman.
Liujiu poked Liu Kang curiously, "Master Liu, what's wrong with you? Is there something wrong?"
"Yes, yes, you all look so surprised." Xiao Yao came over in confusion.
"You don't know something," Liu Kang explained patiently, "This Xueyan is very understanding of human nature. He seems to know that he has a noble status. Except for our master, he doesn't look down on anyone else.
Just like a big girl who loves beauty, she hates others touching her fur and has a bad temper. But she didn’t expect that she would get close to her mistress the first time she saw her.”
"Oh, that's it." Everyone suddenly realized.
"Haha, our Lady Longnu is not an ordinary person." Liujiu looked at Maimai proudly, "There is a way to conquer people's hearts, let alone horses' hearts."
"Well," Liu Kang had seen her ability, and he nodded without any objection, "Yes, it seems that the master made the right gift by giving her the snow goose."
Yi Su retracted his surprise and said respectfully, "Mistress, please mount your horse."
Mai Mai hugged Xue Yan greedily, closed her eyes and enjoyed the warmth in front of her. When she heard Yi Su's words, she nodded unconsciously, "Oh."
Xinye really didn't want to undermine Maimai at this time, but she still asked suspiciously, "Ms. Dragon Girl, when did you learn to ride a horse?"
"Huh?" Mai Mai woke up from her dream, looked at Xue Yan's somewhat impatient eyes, and smiled sheepishly, "I forgot, I don't know how to ride." She secretly blamed herself for liking Xue Yan so much that she actually
It was a mistake in front of so many people.
"No?" Guisu scratched his hair, and the handsome face pet asked with some doubts, "Then how does the mistress lead the troops to fight?"
"Don't you know there is a kind of transportation called a 'carriage'?" Xinye looked like an idiot, which hurt Guisu's self-esteem. Did this woman get into trouble with him?
"you……"
"Okay," Yi Su interrupted the two of them at the right time, looked at Maimelu for a moment, and said, "We have to rush back to the castle. We can't cross the grassland by carriage. Is it okay for the mistress to ride on the same horse as the others?"
"
"Okay," Mai Mai agreed readily. In the final analysis, it was because she couldn't ride a horse that she caused trouble for others.
Guisu patted his chest and said, "Then let me serve the mistress."
Zhen Su, who had not spoken for a long time, glanced at him and said casually, "If you don't want to be thrown into the wolf's den by the master, just serve."
Gui Su patted his forehead, "Yes, yes, why did I forget this recommendation?" They all saw the importance that the master paid to the mistress. If the master knew that he hugged the mistress all the way, it would be a shame.
Tread hard on yourself.
"I'll take care of the lady," Ah Shang smiled sweetly, walked over and took out a maroon horse.
"Yes." Yi Su nodded, and then greeted the saints behind him, "One horse per person, choose by yourself."
"Wow, this is a horse from Yanbei Kingdom," Liujiu did his part and ran over first to choose a black one.
Each of the saints chose the one they liked. They got on their horses, dressed in pure white, and looked indescribably heroic.
Looking at the failed Snow Goose, Mai Mai suddenly wanted to learn to ride a horse. She really liked this gift given to her by Xingxu. At the same time, she was also full of curiosity about the king of Yanbei Kingdom.
Holding Ashang's waist tightly, the whistling wind is in the ears, and the boundless vastness is in front of the eyes. The simplicity here will make people unable to help but give up all the baggage, and the mood has been singing a song that has not been heard for a long time with the blue sky and white clouds. Until
At this moment, she slowly realized why people who have lived in cities for a long time yearn for every inch of air here.
More than twenty fast horses galloped for about a quarter of an hour before slowly stopping.
With the help of Ashang, Mai Mai jumped off the horse and raised his head to look at the tall and majestic castle in front of him. Its proud momentum and majestic and extraordinary posture seemed to show its domineering power to the world.
And unique. This kind of heroism complements and complements the magnificence of the grassland.
Yi came to Maimai's side and smiled slightly, "Welcome the mistress to the 'Zhuo Lang Castle'."
"Zhuo Lang..." Mai Mai chewed the name repeatedly.
Zhuo, a drop of water; wave, originating from the sea.
Zhuolang, as the name suggests, a drop of water seems inconspicuous, but countless drops of water can merge into the sea, and become waves when encountering the wind. From a drop of water to a wave, this is an explosion in tolerance.
She likes this name just like she likes grassland and snow geese.
Slowly stepping into the castle, the saints' eyes widened in curiosity. This was the most majestic building they had seen besides the Qisa Palace. Unlike the palace, which was beautiful, exquisite and luxurious, this place was full of
Instead of being wild and free, it is more to their liking.
Two doors with a height of three meters were open outside the castle. As soon as Mai Mai walked in, he heard a snap of fingers. Before he could understand what was going on, he saw a dozen or twenty people rushing out of the castle. The Saintess
Without saying anything, they surrounded Mai Mai vigilantly.
Yi Su stroked his forehead with a headache, not wanting to look ahead any more.
Liu Kang grinned widely and widened his eyes as if watching a good show, "Haha, here we go again."
Gui Su was also afraid that the world would be in chaos and clapped his hands, "Lou, it's up to you."
Zhensu frowned slightly, followed the same action as Yisu, closed his eyes, looked at his nose and mouth.
The people in front of them were all dressed in guard uniforms, but their faces were all smeared with rouge, their cheeks were red, and their mouths were red. They imitated the appearance of women, bowed to Mai Mai, and said in a high voice,
"Welcome, mistress." He looked so awkward that he wanted to hit his head against the wall to death.
"Uh..." Mai Mai and others were stunned at first, and then they were all amused by the scene in front of them.
Ashang's face twitched and he turned his head away, unable to bear to look at it any longer. Poor guards, why did they fall into Lou's hands?
Each of the guards took out a feather fan from behind, unfolded it with a "pop", and actually performed a feather fan dance. They also changed their formations in a decent way, and their bodies twisted awkwardly.
"Haha..." The saints had dispersed long ago. They had never seen such a scene before. They were all laughing together in twos and threes.
Mai Mai looked at the guards with distorted faces, dumbfounded. It was obvious that they were in pain.
"Bah, bang, bang!" After three crisp applauses, the guards finally let out a breath of relief and stood obediently on both sides.
At this time, a very handsome man slowly walked out from inside. He was dressed in a rich brocade suit, his hair was tied up meticulously, his eyes were shining, and he was indescribably beautiful and elegant.
When he came to Maimai, he lifted up his clothes coolly and knelt down on one knee, "Lou Su, I have met the mistress."
"Hello." Being treated like this, Mai Mai didn't know how to respond. She could only respond politely like a modern person.
Lou Su stood up gracefully, not showing any signs of surprise, and winked at Mai Mai knowingly, "Mistress, are you satisfied with the welcome ceremony prepared by your subordinates?"
"Lou, you are becoming more and more famous." Liu Kangming praised and secretly criticized.
"Lord Kangsu, it's difficult for you to understand with your wisdom." Lou Su didn't take it seriously, as if they were common people and couldn't appreciate his masterpiece.
After hearing Lou Su's words, everyone realized that Liu Kang was actually Kang Su from Twenty-Eight Sus.
Mai Mai took one look at Lou Su's crystal eyes that kept turning, and knew that he must be a man with many evil ideas. She didn't say much, just smiled and nodded.
"Our mistress will appreciate it." Lou Su turned sideways and said, "Mistress, please come in."
"Um."
Lou Su introduced as he walked, "Mistress, this Zhuolang Castle is the base camp of our Yanbei Kingdom's Twenty-Eight Constellations. You have already met a few of us. The rest of us have their own lives and are busy outside. Later in the evening
, you will all see it. We are not so much a country as a big tribe. There is no bureaucratic oppression, only harmony. This is also the ideal country built by our master. Lou Su believes that the mistress will like it more and more.
here."
She has already seen the harmony here. What Mai Mai wants to know more about is Xingxu. What kind of man is he who can build this majesty on the grassland. Can he have such a peaceful mind, manage this grassland and character.
Different twenty-eight constellations? From this point of view, he does not look like a greedy man who wants to marry him as his wife after hearing that he is magical.
Then what was his purpose in launching an army of 500,000 to force the Qisa Dynasty to agree to marry the Dragon Girl?
Although she wanted to understand, she knew that these secret things would be exposed to the sun sooner or later, and she would not rush for this moment.
Yi Su said, "Mistress, you can dispatch the servants in the castle at will. If you have any orders, just call them directly. As for the sixteen saints, they will be arranged around your wing. If you feel uncomfortable or
If it’s inconvenient, just ask them to send a message.”
"Thank you, I understand." Mai Mai looked at Yi Su appreciatively. He was grand yet as meticulous as dust. He should be Xing Xiu's most capable right-hand man.
Lou Su took the saints to see their respective rooms. Ah Shang followed Maimai closely. When Yi Su brought them to a door, he stopped and said, "Mistress, this is your room."
Room, Yi Su, I won’t disturb you, you can rest for a while, there will be a reception banquet in the evening." From the beginning to the end, no word about Xing Su was mentioned, and Mai Mai didn't ask any questions.
After finishing speaking, Shi Yili turned around and left.
"Miss, let's go in." Ashang seemed a little excited and opened the door with a smile.
When she saw the furnishings inside, Mai Mai was stunned. This place was exactly the same as her room in Yanxiaju.
The same bed, the same round table, and even the lingering fragrance lingering on the table were her favorite white sandalwood. When she saw the flower on the windowsill, her eyes widened suddenly.
I ran over a few steps and looked at it carefully as if unsure. The delicate petals, the pure milky white color, and the faint and refreshing fragrance that seemed not to be there, were nothing but lily of the valley!
"This..." Unknowingly, her eyes were moist, and her fingers were trembling as she stroked the flower body, feeling the long-lost affectionate nostalgia.
She never thought that she would see the delicate Lily of the Valley in a cold and windy foreign country.
My thoughts were gradually brought back to this pure white lily of the valley garden.
In front of my eyes, that ethereal and illusory figure seemed to appear again...
