Chapter 198: Brothers recognize each other
The inn in the royal city has always had a red voice, and there is no other reason than the snow tide that often appears on the ice field.
Every night, when the sun sets behind the horizon and the snow falls, the sky is obscured, and the roads are blocked, so you can only find a place to stay until the next morning, when the snow is cleared.
It was the king's will that Vallan and Barth should arrive at the palace by to-night, but in the event of such an emergency, they could be haste and go again tomorrow, and the king would not blame.
And Bart and the two of them were lucky, there were just two more rooms in the upper room, paid for the room, and went up to the wing room on the second floor under the diligent leadership of Xiao Er, Bart looked tired, yawning while walking.
People were tired, so the two just said hello to each other, agreed on a time to leave tomorrow, and went back to their rooms.
Bart couldn't hide the tiredness on his face, and after entering the house, his face suddenly turned pale, his eyes were bright, and he had a suspicious expression.
Ever since he entered this inn, he had always had a strange feeling, especially when he saw the shopkeeper, he always felt that he had seen it somewhere, but he was sure that he had never seen this person.
Weird...... As soon as this thought came to mind, he began to search through his memories and try to find something.
Thinking about it, his eyes suddenly lit up, and suddenly, he jumped up from the fire kang, and a spiritual light crossed his mind, and he finally remembered!
At night, most of the people who come to the inn are only because of the fatigue of the boat and the heavy snow to close the road, so they have to enter the inn, and most of them go to bed early after eating and drinking, so as to nourish their spirits for tomorrow's arrangement.
Walland is the same, after taking off the military uniform, he became a flat-headed commoner, and today the relationship with his daughter has become harmonious, so nervous that his mental state gradually relaxed, he has always slept late, but today he is surprisingly sleepy, went into the house and washed his feet hastily, then slept with his clothes, and entered a quiet dreamland.
After Bart went to bed, he never slept, and he was always in a state of excitement, so he lay there quietly, waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting,
Sure enough, as he thought, when he went down to the first floor, the old shopkeeper in the corner sat quietly in the dim light, as if he were on a wooden stake.
Bart couldn't help but speed up his pace, his heart was pounding, and he was suffering from gains and losses, for fear that he would guess wrong, and he would be happy in vain.
"You came, I thought you didn't understand. ”
Sure enough, he was waiting for him, Bart was sure in his heart, and as he got closer, that familiar feeling appeared again.
Bart smiled and stepped over, and the shopkeeper stood up and gave Bart a bear hug.
Patting each other on the shoulders part, Bart whispered, "Sure enough, it's you, why are you here......?" I thought ......"
A man in his twenties, who didn't know the so-called iron-blooded man when he was stabbed, but at this time he involuntarily shed tears, thousands of words, and countless questions choked in his throat, and he didn't know where to start.
"Beware of the ears on the wall here, you come with me," the shopkeeper led him to open the curtain of the side door, and after winding through a few bends, he entered his private room.
It was a long way from the guest room, and when he reached his own place, the shopkeeper relented, lit the fire, and then took off his coat and hung it on the wall.
"You and my brother should be happy to see each other, why are you crying your nose, such a big person doesn't know how to be ashamed. The shopkeeper joked with a smile, and then his face distorted and returned to his original handsome face, and his long white hair slowly became black and thick.
It was many days before Allen appeared.
Bart couldn't help himself excitedly, the slaughter of Utopia City is a well-known news, Bart always thought that Alan was dead, but at the time of Utopia, Alan's body was not found, and at that time, the war had just started, and the corpses had already been burned in order to prevent the spread of the epidemic.
Therefore, his excitement is now overflowing, and a thousand words cannot be turned into a single word, but he can't speak with tears.
Bart's truest side is only shown to the people closest to him, especially the feeling of being lost and regained, which is so wonderful.
The mood finally stabilized, and Alan didn't bother him, knowing that he had something to ask, so he waited quietly for him.
"I thought you and Sister Shirley had died in that catastrophe, but I didn't expect to let me meet you here today, it's really an eye-opener!" Bart looked excited, and just finished speaking, he found that he seemed to have missed someone.
So he asked again: "What about Sister Shirley...... Where's my sister?"
Alan smiled bitterly, and Bart chuckled inwardly, and his hands trembled twice involuntarily.
Looking at Bart's gloomy expression, he knew that he wanted to be crooked, so he explained: "Don't think too much, Shirley is not dead, when I was in the academy, I accidentally released a monster, blaming me for being too weak at the time to protect Shirley, after he was kidnapped by that person, I haven't seen her since, so since then, I've been looking for her, hey, unfortunately I haven't found her." ”
This news is not good, but it is ten million times better than Bart's idea just now, and it is fortunate that people are not dead, but now that Shirley is missing, it is also a big problem.
Knowing that he was wrong, Bart smiled awkwardly, scratched his forehead, and then his expression became solemn, and said, "I'll accompany you to find Sister Shirley!"
Bart cut the railroad, for him now, there is nothing more important than finding Shirley, so he selectively forgets about entering the palace with his father-in-law tomorrow.
Ai Lu shook his head and said, "I'll do it if I do this, if you say so, follow your general with peace of mind, the future is limitless from now on, congratulations!"
With a "snap", Bart slapped Allen's outstretched right hand, his expression was not relaxed, and said: "You and we have been together for more than ten years, you know that you can't fool me, it's a brother, just tell me the truth, I don't want you to lie to me." ”
Allen's words are half-true, Shirley was pinched as true, but the specific situation Alan is only vague, so Bart only knows what it is, and every time Alan speaks with this expression, it is a bad thing that happens, just like when he was a child, every time he made a mistake and was punished, it was this expression to comfort the two of them.
Actually, many times it was Shirley and Bart who caused the trouble, but Alan was righteous enough to come out and carry it himself every time, because he was the son of the patriarch and was punished more than others, but Alan was like this every time and did not hesitate, so Bart knew too much about this expression.
The deceitful brother really doesn't exist, he just said a lie, and Bart saw through it at a glance, so Alan had to tell the truth.
After leaving Bart, all kinds of Alan told the truth after that, without a trace of concealment, this night, the candle night talk until the second half of the night, Allen's mouth was dry, he poured saliva, and then breathed a long sigh of relief.
Alan looked at Bart's stunned eyes, smiled abruptly, and said: "That's it, Rudolph is willing to let me go, and the Creation Jade Disc has fallen into a deep sleep because it has consumed too much power to repair the space, and Xiao Qi is not waking up, and I was directly sent to the vicinity of the Royal City by the Creation Jade Disk, I sneaked in, and after changing my appearance, I spent money to acquire this inn, and calculated the time, it has been half a month." ”
On that day, Alan was teleported to the Far North Ice Field, when he first arrived, he felt extremely familiar, the royal city was not far away, when he first arrived, because of his black hair and black eyes, he touched nails a lot, the inn did not live, everyone looked at him with contempt in their eyes, nothing else, just because, in the barbarian white represents purity, the purity of blood, and as black as Allen, then mottled variegation, which means the impurity of blood, so, there is no less white eyes.
Alan had no choice but to change his appearance, disguised himself as an old man, and then smashed down the inn with money, watching the original shopkeeper run away with the money, Alan smiled indifferently.
With Allen's disguise technique, unless his strength reaches the same level, it is impossible to detect his true face, and Allen lives here like this.
It's not that he didn't think about going back, this is almost half of the barbarian territory, and then the human territory is running halfway, and the road is far away and put aside for the time being, he always feels that since the Creation Jade Disc sent him here, it must have his intentions.
Therefore, he chose to wait, Alan had already thought about it, and when this cold wave that lasted for half a year passed, if there was no harvest yet, he would choose to leave and continue his unfinished mission.
Simply, he waited until his brother, at dusk, at first glance, seeing Bart, Alan still couldn't believe his eyes, he didn't expect that his brother would appear in the royal city, and there was a person with a high status by his side.
Vallan has been in a high position for a long time, so he naturally has a strong aura on his body, even if he changes into cloth clothes, Alan can see the clue at a glance.
Bart sighed, Allen's experience was 10,000 times more wonderful than his, and he couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect you to be so dangerous on this journey, I knew that I wouldn't leave ...... at the beginning."
Alan was afraid that he would think too much, so he hurriedly relieved: "You don't have to be like this, although you are brothers, but this path is my own choice, and it has nothing to do with you, you must not take it to heart, and I didn't come back completely, so don't blame yourself." ”
Alan didn't want to dwell on this anymore, so he changed the subject and continued: "You haven't talked about you yet, tell me your story." ”
Bart's story is particularly simple, after returning to the tribe, he stabilized the ice silkworm planted in his body with medicine, and the next weakening period of the ice silkworm is at least five years later, now there is no need to worry about it for the time being, and then there will be a barbarian expedition, Bart chose to join the army, when Allen's father Bes, personally set up a banquet for Bart to see him off, Bart is Allen's best brother, and Beth naturally takes good care of Bart.
"It turns out that you went to join the army, I heard people say that the great battle in Moha City, I heard that there is a strange person in the barbarians, and with the calculation of only one person, hundreds of thousands of human armies have been killed, and it shouldn't be you who they are talking about. Alan was just joking at him, but he didn't really think about it at all.
But Bart nodded shyly in Allen's surprised eyes, Allen held his forehead, my obedient, when, the honest Bart has this ability.
The two of you say a word, and I say a word, as if they can't finish talking.
Now that I think about it, the two of them haven't been back to the tribe for months, and it's strange that they miss the days in the clan.
"What are you going to go back to, to see Uncle Beth?" asked Bart.
And Alan smiled bitterly, sighed, and said: "I lost Shirley, what face do I have to go back now, at least when I find Shirley, go back to visit his old man, I hope he won't blame me." ”
Of course he will blame you, he has returned to the barbarian but does not go back to visit him, Bart thought to himself, but did not say it, Alan has Allen's own considerations, As a brother, since he has made a choice, he will do his best to help him.
Shirley, Bart and Allen, the three of them, grew up together, Bart has always treated Shirley as a sister, and the relationship is only deeper than Alan, he knows, of course he will not sit idly by.
