After learning Lubu's true identity, Xia Zuo was somewhat sad. He regarded Lub as a good friend, but he didn't even know who the other party was.
Xia Zuo thought that if it weren't for Philci breaking Lubu's identity, he would probably have kept his mouth shut.
Filsi and Xia Zuo have been friends for many years, and he can guess what Xia Zuo is thinking, he said: "Xia Zuo, don't be too harsh on Lubu, his identity is too complicated, and the less one person knows, the more safe it is." ”
Xia Zuo said: "I can understand, but I can't forgive, he just doesn't trust us." Obviously, we all wanted to help him, but he refused, hum! ”
"We have to trust Lub and when he needs us, he will bring it up," Tacales said. ”
Xia Zuo was angry and couldn't listen to the persuasion, so Tacales and Filsi stopped persuading.
The two went to the courtyard, and Joseph prepared afternoon tea for them.
Tacales didn't understand the rules of afternoon tea, and when he looked at the tea and snacks on the table, he didn't dare to move, so Filsi smiled and poured tea for Tacales, and arranged the snacks one by one.
"It's at home, there's no need to follow any rules, my captain," said Filsie. ”
Takales said, "Yes. ”
The chef invited by Filsey's family is quite good, and the dim sum is sweet but not greasy, with a fragrance that lingers on the tip of the tongue.
Tacales ate a few pieces, but couldn't eat them, and he was worried about Lub too.
In the White Lion Mercenary Regiment, Tacales and Lub are the earliest people to know, although Lub is always silent, he is the most reliable thief in the team, with him, Tacales can rest assured to go to the front to fight, leaving the rear to him to guard.
Their communication is not much, but the friendship that can be accumulated in fighting side by side is deep and firm.
Tacales asked, "Why did Lub's brother want him?" They used to have a good relationship, they were both brothers and close friends, and they turned against each other, is it all because of the throne? Lub was not interested in the throne at all, so why didn't his brother let him go? ”
"Power can change anyone, even a lamb who is obsessed with power will become a wolf." Filsie's fingers rested on the dark teapot, taking advantage of his long, white, jade-like texture, "I've investigated why Ludley wanted Lub, but I couldn't find a real reason. The reason for the throne is the simplest and most plausible reason, but I have a gut feeling that this will not be the only reason, and it is strange that every time I go deeper, I will end up in a dead end. He filled Tacales' teacup and added a spoonful of sugar, "But this is a matter between brothers, and if they don't say it, how can outsiders know the truth." ”
"Well, I hope nothing happens to Lub, and I hope he doesn't get too strong, I don't want to lose such a good companion as him," said Tacales. ”
Filsey said, "Don't worry, Lub won't have an accident." ”
Lubu has never been a person who is used to troublesome others, his purpose is to solve what he can solve by himself, and what he can't solve by himself, then let it go and wait for himself to become stronger.
His childhood dream was to become a high-ranking thief, a free mercenary, and a warrior who could defend his homeland, so he had to be strong.
A strong person who doesn't need the help of others.
Taking advantage of the night, Lub infiltrated the palace.
The palace of the Salata Empire is well-guarded in the Star Luo Continent, but Lubu is an excellent thief who is good at concealment, plus he has lived in the palace since he was a child, no matter which country he is in, the construction of the palace is always the same, so he chose the time when the guards were the most lax and successfully infiltrated.
Lubu had already gotten a topographical map of the palace, and he remembered the route to the palace in his mind and found where Richel lived.
The princess of Gregory was a distinguished guest, and the king of the Salata empire did not neglect her, and she lived in the finest palace of the palace, with a large number of maids for her to serve, and the soldiers who guarded her were a mixture of people from both countries.
Lub seized the opportunity for the change of guard on both sides and dodged into the palace, heading straight to Richie's bedchamber.
Ricky had already fallen asleep, she was lying in the middle of the big bed, wearing silk pajamas, holding two large pillows, sleeping in an irregular position like an ordinary little girl.
Lub kicked the foot of the bed, and Ricky rolled over.
Lub jerked off Ricky's quilt, and Ricky screamed and threw a pillow at Rub, and before she could see who it was, she pulled out the dagger hidden at the head of the bed and slashed at Rub, who leaned back, dodging the dagger's attack.
Ricky's dagger chased after Lubu, who turned sideways, grabbed Rare's wrist, and flicked it lightly, Ricky suddenly felt that her arm was numb, and the dagger was taken off.
Rikiel said angrily, "Bold, you ......" When she turned her gaze to Lubu's face, all her scolding words pressed into her stomach, "Brother Lubu! ”
Lub let go of Rikiel and said, "It's me." ”
Ricky cheered and hugged Lubu's neck, hanging on Lubu very unladylikely, "Oh my God, Brother Lubu, I'm looking for you everywhere, I didn't expect you to come to me first." ”
Lubu calmly tore Ricky apart and said, "Put on your pajamas." ”
Ricky's pajamas were loosely dressed, with too low a collar and too high slits to reveal her snow-white breasts and slender thighs, coupled with the previous fight with Lubu, her little face was flushed, and any normal man would be heartbroken when he saw her, but unfortunately Lubu was never a normal person.
Ricky obediently buttoned the buttons one by one, like a good sister who was longed for by all the brothers in the world, and obediently played with the ends of her hair, saying, "Brother Lub, Brother Ludley has been looking for you, and Ricky is also looking for you, will you go back to Gregory with me?" Brother Ludley and I are worried about you. ”
Lub said, "Isn't he looking for me?" Heh, the way he cares about me is by wanting me? ”
"You know it's not like that," said Ricky, "and that no one in the world cares more about you than Brother Ludley." ”
"Really?" Lub unconsciously stroked the blue wind that he never left, "You go back and tell Ludley that I won't go back to Gregory." ”
"But Brother Ludley really misses you, and I saw Brother Ludley secretly crying with your training dagger." Ricky said, tears welled up in her eyes, "Brother Ludley is such a strong man, he never cried when he broke his leg while riding a horse when he was a child, and he didn't even cry when his father died to maintain the dignity of the royal family, but he cried several times for Brother Lub, Brother Lub, you can't do this to Brother Ludley." ”
Lub's cold face shattered for a moment, but only for a moment, and he asked Ricky, "Do you know what I represent when I go back to Grageory?" ”
Ricky said blankly, "Doesn't it represent our family reunion?" The father and mother are gone, shouldn't the three of us brothers and sisters support each other? ”
Lub said, "If I go back, one of me and Ludley will surely die." ”
Ratchet was obviously hearing this for the first time, and she stared at Lubu in disbelief, her face bloodless.
Rui Qi'er grabbed the corner of Lubu's clothes and cried, "Brother Lubu, you are lying to me!" ”
Lub said, "I didn't lie to you. ”
Lub raised his hand, as if to touch Ricky's head, but he gave up.
"Connor is a good man, and you will be happy if you marry him." ”
"I don't care who I marry, I just care if the three of us brothers and sisters can go back to when we were kids," Ricky said. ”
Lub said, "I can't go back." ”
Lub broke Ricky's hand and walked out of Ricky's room, Ricky wanted to chase after him, but was frozen in place by Lub's fierce look.
Lub put on his hood and quickly dived into the night, as if he had never been there.
Ricky withered to the ground, wept to herself, wiped away her tears, rummaged through the cabinets, found parchment and quills, and wrote a letter to King Ludre, who was far away from Gregory.
This night, Xia Zuo didn't sleep, he was waiting for Lubu to return.
He leaned against the window, craned his neck, and squinted slightly to improve his eyesight, so that he could distinguish more clearly the figures coming and going in the castle.
Xia Zuo waited until the middle of the night, yawning for days. He was a lazy man, he could lie down and never sit, he could sit and never stand, and he did not lie down to sleep in a room with a bed but leaned against the window and looked into the distance, which was the first time in the world.
He thought that this was a great favor, and he must have asked Lub to return it to him doubly.
When Xia Zuo couldn't hold back and dozed off against the wall, Lubu finally returned.
Lubu took off his cloak, and due to the temperature difference between inside and outside the house, a layer of water vapor quickly condensed on the surface of the cloak.
Xia Zuo rubbed his eyes and said, "You're back~"
Lub said, "Yes. ”
Xia Zuo asked, "How are things going to be resolved?" ”
Lub said, "I don't know, didn't you sleep?" ”
Xia Zuo said, "I'm waiting for you." ”
Lubu looked at Xia Zuo, who was sleepy-eyed, obviously holding on.
Xia Zuo's eyelids kept falling, and he shook his head to make himself sober, but this sobriety lasted less than a second, and he was conquered by the sleeping god again.
At this time, Xia Zuo was already in a half-asleep state.
Lub said, "When you are sleepy, you sleep." ”
Xia Zuo said: "I said that I was waiting for you, since I was waiting for you, how could I sleep by myself first?" ”
Lub said, "Whatever you want." ”
Xia Zuo fell on the bed like a wanderer, slipped into the quilt, patted the vacant bed beside him, and motioned for Lubu to come to sleep.
Lubu washed up quickly and went to bed, while Natsuzo was still holding on.
Lub said, "Sleep." ”
Xia Zuo said: "Well, then you promise me one thing before I go to sleep, otherwise I will have nightmares when I fall asleep." ”
Lub asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"If there's anything I can do to help you, you have to tell me." Xia Zuo's voice gradually lowered because of heavy sleepiness, "We are companions, friends, your business is my business, I don't want my friends to be able to stand by while they are suffering." He hooked his little finger at Lubu, "Lubu, promise me, okay?" Come on, pull a tick. ”
Lubu was silent, the long silence almost made Xia Zuo fall asleep, but just as he was about to fall asleep, another spirit woke up, and he didn't get an answer from Lubu. He moved his little finger, and Lubu followed suit.
Lubu lowered his eyes, looked at his fingers hooked with Xia Zuo, and whispered, "Okay." ”
Xia Zuo got the answer and fell asleep contentedly, before going to sleep, he didn't know whether he said a dream word or told Lubu to say "no repentance", Lubu didn't answer, just hooked his little finger in return.
