Chapter 49 The Joke of Destiny
When Locke could walk on the ground, it would have been ten days. Standing at the door, he saw the flag flying above the wall, black with gold edges, raising its head and standing proudly, which was the most handsome flag he was familiar with. Locke knew that Yukatan had indeed been occupied by his own people. But why didn't Shura come? Doesn't he care about his life or death at all?
How can Locke know that Shura has been here for more than five times, but every time he comes, Locke is either in a coma or being rescued. At this time, Shura was busy stationing his staff to carry out various tasks such as mining elements and metal smelting.
When Locke was very frustrated, he saw Xue Lie leading a girl over, holding a golden thing in his hand.
"Hey, how's your recovery? It makes me worried to death!" Far away, Xue Lie shouted.
Closer, closer, closer. Locke suddenly felt a bright light. Isn't that Russ? At this time, Ruos only wore a light blue inlaid robe, and she was more bright and touching. A pair of green eyes on her white face were like a clear spring and a pool of spring water. Locke was stunned.
"Hey, how's your health? Are you listening or not?" Xue Lie shouted. As soon as he looked at the man, he was not listening. He was staring at his sister with lust.
"Are you a nymphomaniac? Don't keep staring at them, okay?" Xue Lie said anxiously.
Locke suddenly blushed with shame, and he hurriedly looked away from the girl.
"Hello, your name is Locke, right? Thank you for saving me!" Sprite finally met the person she longed for. She remembered the evil face, the domineering eyes, and the excellent smell in Polks. Unconsciously, two red clouds flew on her cheeks.
Do you know who she is? My sister - Sprite!" Xue Lie suddenly shouted.
"Your sister? Sprite! Isn't she Russ?" Locke asked in surprise. He didn't understand when Rus became Xue Lie's sister and what she was called Sprite.
"Well, it's okay if you didn't mention it. I remembered it when you mentioned it. I really don't know whether to thank you or hate you." Xue Lie gritted his teeth, and he remembered the experiences when he went to Polks.
"What do you mean?" Locke's face was inexplicable.
"I ask you, when did you grow wings? What a evil door! My sister is in Polks, so far away, can you hook up with her?
Pooh, why do you say such unpleasant words in front of the girl? Locke groaned in his heart, and his face couldn't help blushing and whitening.
"I said that you don't stay on the ship and go all the way to that place. What are you doing? It made me die several times!" The spit stars are flying all over the sky, and Xue Lie is still complaining like a cannon.
"Death several times? What's the matter?" Locke asked strangely.
Xue Lie told the story of going to Porks from beginning to end. He also added vinegar and vinegar about how he suffered, how he was heroed, and how those monsters died under his sword. He described them in a very exaggerated way. Finally, he raised the shield in his hand.
"Look, this is proof that I didn't lie to you, right?" Xue Lie became more and more proud. Fearing that Locke would not believe it, he untied his armor and lifted his snow-white underwear, revealing a piece of skin on his chest, which was a golden beast's head.
Locke touched the beast's head with his hand. Indeed, he couldn't find anything at all, but it looked like alive. Locke sighed.
"I'm sorry, brother, thank you for your hard work!"
Locke patted Xuelie on the shoulder, reached out to take the shield, and looked carefully. There is a golden handle on the back, and the central part of the front is embedded with a bearded beast head, which looks very fierce, but it is completely different from the beast head in Xuelie's chest. Locke shook his head and fell into meditation.
Locke knew that Snow didn't lie to him. From Snowy's narrative, Locke knew that the monster with a human head and a bird's head was his own clan. He was the messenger of the demon clan - Khaliba, also known as the two-headed vulture, who was specially responsible for conveying magic metaphors. Unexpectedly, the two-headed vulture survived the war, but why did he rob the woman in the world? Maybe his father was gone and no one restrained him, so he did something wrong? However, when it comes to sucking blood, he should not have the ability, let alone the courage. As for the scene seen in Xue Lie's dream, and the beast's head on his chest...
"Hey, why don't you talk and get angry? That's what I'm like. I've always been talkative. You should know that don't take it to heart!" When Xue Lie saw Locke bowing his head and saying nothing, he thought he was angry.
"No, no, how can I be angry? I should have congratulated you on finally finding your sister. Locke raised his head.
"Yes, yes, this is a great thing. I should really thank you!" Xue Lie shouted excitedly, "I heard from my sister that you saved her, and you still have that... that she... So, from now on, I will give her to you. You can't abandon her all the time!" The boy had a bad smile on his face and looked gloating.
"Oh, brother! Don't talk nonsense." Sprite blushed with shame, and her pink fists hit Xue Lie's back like rain.
"What are you...I...my? I didn't do anything at all." Locke's face turned red again and he thought: What a injustice. He hasn't even kissed the girl's lips, and he has to bear the charge of "death and abandonment". Isn't this a cheating brother!
"Puff", his eyes turned, and Locke fainted.
The two brothers and sisters panicked. Xue Lie roared: "Come on! Come on! Come on! The commander fainted!"
Who knows that the person lying on the ground is smiling secretly.
Locke was taken back to the ward. Just as everyone was in a hurry, the bodyguard and Xue Lie whispered a few words, and a whole person retreated.
Queen Casey came in. She sat by the bed and looked at the obviously thin man. Her heart was sour, and then her eyes turned red.
"Alas!" The queen sighed, "It's been so long, why haven't you woken up yet? Are they incompetent, or is there something wrong with the medicine?
The queen grabbed the pale hand, pressed it close to her lips, and choked: "Xuelie has told me that if it hadn't been for my suspicion and suspicion, you wouldn't have gone away with anger and been so severely damaged. It's all my fault, it's all my fault! How can you be a god? How can a god be hurt like this? ..." The voice was soft and sweet, full of sadness, regret and self-reproach, which made Locke's heart shrink into a ball. At that moment, he forgot that "she" was Shura. He just thought she was a woman and was telling his wrong.
"Papa", a cool ** drop fell down and slid down Locke's wrist.
Is she crying? It turned out that she misunderstood and thought that I was sent by the Prince of the Sea, so she guarded me everywhere, but where did I show my flaws? So much so that it aroused her suspicion? No, don't pretend. Isn't that sad for people?
Locke pretended to wake up and moaned, "Ouch, it hurts me so much! Where is this?"
When Shura saw him wake up and turned around, he hurriedly put down his hand and walked away. Shura stood by the window, still in white, and his back was still thin. He removed the mask, wiped his eyes randomly, and hurriedly covered the mask. He didn't want to be seen by Locke, but Locke saw it again. The tears were real, and the man's body was not fake.
A great sadness surged up from the bottom of my heart. Fate, your joke is big!
" Shura, I have something to say to you, can you... remove the mask?" Locke hasn't called "her" Shura for a long time. He is afraid that he will mistake Shura for a woman again.
Shura was stunned for a moment, then stepped over, sat in front of Locke's bed, then stretched out his hand and slowly removed the mask. There are still traces of tears sliding on his slightly thin and handsome face.
"I heard from Xue Lie that you have occupied Yukatan..."
"It's not you, it's us." Shura hurriedly corrected, which made him feel very fresh, as if Locke was rejecting him.
"You are the commander of Atlantis. I will no longer regard you as an outsider. You should also regard yourself as a member of Atlantis. Huh?" Shura looked at Locke with sincere eyes, hoping to get a positive answer.
"Okay, let's do it. However, you have never asked me who I am and where I come from..."
"No, it doesn't matter. I don't care who you are. All I know is that you are the commander-in-chief of Atlantis. Yes, I used to suspect you, but now I won't, let alone future. You have to believe me!" Shura hurriedly interrupted Locke. He didn't want to see Locke "run away" again.
Locke smiled bitterly and said, "Now that Katan II is dead, a country can't be ownerless for a day, so what are you going to do?"
"This is also a problem that bothers me. I would like to hear your opinion, but every time I come, you are unconscious." Shura shrugged his shoulders and showed a helpless expression, "What's your opinion?"
Locke pondered and said, "I think it's better for the Yucateans to be king. As long as he is wise and can manage the country and appease the people, it is enough. Most importantly, he has to listen to us, allow us to station troops, and allow us to use the land. How can you implement your plan? Locke glanced at him.
"Okay, good brother, we want to go together!" Shura held his hand excitedly.
"Brother?" Locke smiled bitterly, "If you don't have the status of queen, maybe... maybe we will become brothers."
"So what?" Shura raised his beautiful phoenix eyes, "When there are only two of us, why don't you and I be like brothers?"
"Okay, then you can be my brother-in-law. Tell me, where the hell is Qi'er? Is she as beautiful as you? There was another evil smile on that face.
"You... you've been hurt like this, and you still miss my sister? Really, when did you become a persm?!" Shura pretended to be angry and suddenly stretched out his hand to scratch Locke's armpit.
"Giggle..." Locke couldn't help laughing. The two rolled together happily.
With a "bang", followed by an "ah" exclamation, it was Xue Lie who bumped in, and his side was still accompanied by Sprite. The two brothers and sisters widened their eyes in astonishment because they saw Locke rolling with a man.
Sura stood up in a panic. Before he could stand up straight, a sword lay across his neck.
"say! Who are you?" Xue Lie shouted.
Sura straightened up, swept away the previous panicked look, and looked directly at Xue Lie. That look was arrogant, awe-inspiring and fierce. He didn't believe that Xuelie dared to draw down the sword. However, Xue Lie's hand shook, because he smelled a cold murderous atmosphere, and because of this small action, the sharp blade cut the snow-white skin and blood beads oozed out.
" Stop it! Xuelie, you... don't mess around!" Locke was so anxious that he sweated. He knew Xuelie's impatient nature. If he pulled it down with a sword, could Shura still live? You... move your sword away, he... he is my relative, don't hurt him!"
"Oh? Relatives?" Xue Lie was skeptical, "Really?"
"Really, of course it's true! He... He is my cousin... Shura, his name is Shura." Locke swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, and he was not used to telling such a lie.
"Why didn't I hear you say that? Really, do you still think I'm a brother?" Xue Lie finally put away his sword and gave Locke a dissatisfied look.
"How's your injury?" Sprite asked with concern.
"Thank you! I'm fine. I'll recover soon." Locke responded in a hurry.
"With the queen here, you don't have to worry." Xue Lie raised his eyebrows and suddenly said, "Huh? Didn't you say that the queen came? Did she come to see you? Why didn't I see it?"
Xue Lie looked around the room as if the queen had been hidden.
"Queen?" Locke didn't know what to say for a moment, because the "Queen" was obviously here.
"Oh! You mean the woman with the mask? She left. I heard that the envoys from Dongtu came to meet, and she should have gone back to deal with state affairs. Shura took over the topic and finally prevaricated the past.
"Why did you leave so quickly? I haven't seen her for a long time. Xue Lie felt very disappointed, and his eyes suddenly faded.
"Brother, do you like your queen? Oh, I see. No wonder you have to refuse Sister Ruoya. It turns out that you have a heartfelt. The innocent girl broke the layer of window paper inadvertently.
"No talk nonsense! Queen... How could the queen fall in love with me? I can only make contributions and help her fulfill her wish. Maybe only in this way can she see me. Xue Lie looked at Locke with resentment and lowered his head.
Shura is embarrassed. He is not a fool. How can he not know Xuelie's thoughts about the "Queen"? He had to change the topic and said, "Our brother hasn't seen each other for a long time. I think so. Tonight, I treat you to the banquet hall of the palace, one is to congratulate Locke's recovery, and the other is to meet us."
"Wow, okay!" As soon as Xue Lie heard that there was wine to drink, he immediately came to his senses, and the previous unhappiness was swept away.
"Then please prepare for it. I heard that you are the housekeeper here." Shura joked that he wanted to send the troublemaker away quickly.
"Good!" Xue Lie turned around and wanted to leave. Seeing that Sprite was hesitant, he pulled her and said, "Let's go first. You can't get in with men's affairs."
Sprite went with him. There are two more of them left in the room.
"When did I become your cousin? I didn't expect that your ability to lie is quite bad!" Shura couldn't help joking.
"Isn't it all for you? When I'm with you, good children are also ruined by you. Giggling..." Locke laughed happily.
"Who is that girl? She is so beautiful!" Shura pointed to Pingting's distant back and said.
"Her name is Sprite, and she is Xue Lie's sister."
"Oh?" Shura stared at the distant back, thoughtfully.
"Why, you're not thinking about that girl, are you?"
"No, I'm thinking that you are a good match for her. Why don't I award you a royal metaphor to marry you..."
"Hight! Stop it! You might as well give me death!" Locke waved his hand repeatedly and shook his head like a rattle.
"What, don't you like her?" Shura looked at Locke in surprise.
"I admit that Sprite is a good girl, but she is not the type I like. Don't worry about yourself, just worry about yourself. Still not coming?"
"What's wrong?" Shura looked at the face full of concern doubtfully and slowly stepped to the bed.
"Give it, wipe it! Don't you know that the reckless man hurt you?" Locke handed over a silk scarf.
"Do you have it?" Shura took the scarf and then opened his eyes in disbelief, "Hey, this is mine. How can I be at your place?" Because this silk scarf is exactly the one he lost.
"It's not the day, when I first arrived in Atlantis, your horse was shocked... The scarf fell out of your carriage."
"Oh, that's it." Shura lowered his head and looked fixedly at the silk scarf in his hand. Both of them stopped talking, as if they had fallen into memories.
Shaoqing, Locke said, "Let me wipe it for you. You can see that it's bleeding. Unexpectedly, your blood is golden, and the smell is so fragrant. Locke's face suddenly turned red.
"It's not surprising that our family is all like this." Shura said lightly.
Locke gently wiped the blood beads on Shura's neck with the purple silk scarf. After wiping it, he quickly hid the silk scarf into his robe.
"You cheat, give it back to me! This is Qier Liu..."
"The only thing left for you, right?" There was a hateful smile on his face, "But you also occupy the only thing my parents left me!" Locke replied unconvincedly.
"You..." looked down, and the blood jade was hanging around his waist. Shura had to shut his mouth.
How's it going? Even if it's an exchange! Blood jade is a bride price, and a silk scarf is a witness. If Qi'er refuses to marry me, you have to marry me as compensation! Hahaha..." The evil face laughed presumptuously.
"You...go to hell!" Shura was so angry that he waved his fist and really wanted to beat that stinky face. He bit his teeth for a long time, and finally said hatefully, "For the sake of your injury of Atlantis, I will spare you for the time being. After you get well, I will fight with you!" He roared.
Now, Shura finally understood why Locke refused to marry him. It turned out that he was thinking about his sister, the unborn sister - Qier. Shura's eyes became painful and melancholy, and the creamy voice seemed to sound in his ear again: "Brother! Here, take it with you. You can look at it when you think of me. Remember, you must go early and come back early!"
Two lines of tears slipped down from the corners of Shura's eyes, and he hurriedly covered his mask.
