[Glory of the King] Baili keeps the promise

With a long cry and a howl, the lone eagle flapped its wings across the sky, reflecting the boundless yellow sand, creating a sense of desolation in vain.

This is the scenery that can be seen every day on the Great Wall of the Desert.

Resisting the urge to shoot wild all the year round... Baili Shouyue's wolf ears trembled, his right thumb rubbed the handle of the gun in his hand itchyly, and then he retracted his wandering sight , looked at the captain of the Great Wall Guard who just finished speaking the last sentence in front of him, and said seriously, "Okay captain, I know the captain."

You know shit! ! !

The veins on his forehead were bouncing, and he had already seen through how the shriveled boy on the other side was wandering off into the sky. The captain of the Great Wall Guards clenched his fist as strong as the others, and an angry and terrifying smile appeared on his rough face. Gritting his teeth, he said word by word, "Bai·Li·Shou·Yue! I·War·War·You!! If you cross the border you are in charge of again this time, all meals for all the Great Wall guards will be lost next month. You are responsible!!!!!!!!!"

If it were an ordinary person, he would probably have been scared to kneel down by his ferocious appearance, but the person who was warned was still a little unconvinced, and muttered, "Sister Mulan has been out for several days, why don't you see me?" ...Also because Akai eats a lot, in order to save meat, he is dispatched every day. I can't wait for him to be self-sufficient for breakfast, lunch and dinner every day, even supper outside...Uncle is such a strong man, he doesn't help the construction site Forget it, besides doing missions, I’m growing vegetables... I’ll cook for us all day long, and you’ll have to take advantage of the mission to find a younger brother. I’m easy, I..."

"What?! What?!!!" The captain's expression became even more distorted, and he said while grinding his back molars, "Large, loud, here, again, old, son, repeat, repeat, one more time!"

Trembling with fear from the other party's increasingly ferocious expression, and thinking about the time when he was punished last time and almost broke his hands, Baili Shouyan resolutely chose the wise saying left by the predecessors that a good man does not suffer from immediate losses, and immediately Standing at attention, I said loudly with a righteous face (fear) "I promise not to cross the line!!"

"En." The captain returned to normal the moment he heard the affirmative answer, and patted him on the shoulder in relief, almost knocking off the booster pads he worked so hard to put in his high-heeled boots by two centimeters. Pretending to be okay, he retracted his hand and said, "Come on, I'll leave the northwest to you today, remember to come back on time to start a small stove...cook~"

Baili Shouyue silently swallowed the old blood in his throat.

Yo you Luban No. [-]!

Such a big rough guy has the nerve to act cute... Pooh!

Although the thoughts in my heart are so bloody and violent that they have returned to wildness, I can't wait to gnaw on them.But on the surface, Baili Shouyue still shook his wolf ears, pulled up the corners of his mouth in a timely manner, revealed a bright smile that was absolutely sunny and absolutely free of any negative emotions, and said loudly, "Good captain!"

Nodding his head, the captain of the Great Wall Guard looked at this young half-devil who had made many military exploits and had high hopes for him, and suddenly thought of his high-spirited appearance when he was young.Immediately, an old man chatting with a youthful madness filled his heart. With a wave of his hand, he pointed at the horizon in the southwest with enthusiasm, laughed three times, and shouted, "Go pick up and keep the contract!! The future of the Tang Dynasty depends on you! !!!!"

".........oh."

Turning around silently, pulling up the scarf around his neck to cover half of his face, Baili Shouyue, who felt ashamed, didn't even want to say goodbye. Instead of leaving, he jumped down from the city wall, carried a gun on his back, and ran stealthily along the base of the wall.

The Gobi Desert that he patrols is very large. Fortunately, the young people have good physical strength and live in such a world where technology, martial arts and magic are mixed. Eyes, the demon species that walks and walks across the border.

Standing on the edge of the human/demon [-]th line that was drawn out by some black technology and glowing with a faint blue light, Baili Shouyue fell into deep daily contemplation.

To cross, or not to cross, that is the question.

If you don't pass the limit now, it's still early depending on the weather. If you go back and cook, you can have a good meal in the evening, and the captain won't be too idle to look for me.

But if you don’t go back and cross the boundary right now, you might run into my poor brother—of course, there are also a bunch of demon seeds and the captain’s roar as gifts... Actually, the latter one can still be avoided, as long as I just need to run faster. If I run a little later, I can explain that I encountered some reasons such as the collective crossing of the demon species to fight tooth festivals. Anyway, this is not a head mechanism. Who knows if there is such a group of mindless demon species? Really come in droves to give away heads.

So let's find my brother today!

Just like every day in the past, crossing the line without any psychological burden, Baili Shouyue held a gun in both hands, and ran stealthily along the edge of the stone or sand dune.Stand still when you encounter a monster, and follow the principle of peaceful coexistence that if the enemy does not move, I will not move.

After walking for a long time, seeing that the sun was going down and the Gobi Desert was getting colder and colder, but he was still the same as usual, he didn't see any clues that might be related to his brother, he couldn't help sighing in frustration, and was about to go back. government.

But who would have thought that just two steps away, suddenly, I heard a young voice so familiar that my soul shook from behind the sand dune next to me, "Am I an unlucky person... Everyone will leave me in the end. "*

...... Xuan Ce? ! !

This is Xuan Ce's voice! ! !

Fearing that he had hallucinations after staying in the desert for a long time, Baili Shouyue stood there in a daze, almost unable to believe the reality.At this moment, in the same direction, another female voice, so familiar that she could hear it every time she cooks a big meal, pretended to be deep as usual, "He didn't abandon you. He just chose to face his fear alone."*

........wait wait wait....! ! !

Isn't this Miss Mulan? ! !

Why did Miss Mulan, who ran out to patrol for two days and didn't come back, cross the border farther than me? ! ! !

Why is she still with my brother? ! !

It looks like this is not the first time we have met each other! !And who is the master Xuan Ce mentioned? ! ! !Why does Miss Mulan seem to know his master very well? ! ! !

I've worked so hard to raise such a big brother, but I didn't even know that I was a teacher without saying a word? ? ! ! ! !

And that master left him alone...Although that person had a good look and knew that he would return the throne of one of the most important people in Xuan Ce's heart to me, but who gave him the bear heart and leopard courage? Dare to abandon my Xuan Ce? ! !

Anger ignited from his chest, although he really wanted to go up to Xuan Ce to express his longing for many years of parting, but then he thought that they had been gone for so many years, and his younger brother seemed to be still in the sadness of losing his master. Wouldn't it be a bad idea to rush forward rashly...

For a while, Baili Shouyue, who was a little close to his hometown, was shamefully discouraged. He didn't jump out to meet his dear brother at the first time. He bowed his head and stretched out his wolf ears to listen carefully, trying to get some things that happened during the disappearance of his younger brother, and after recognizing them, there would be some common topics.

Thanks to his innately well-marked concealment skills, except for those passers-by who swung their knives and accidentally injured him, basically no one would be able to discover his whereabouts under normal circumstances.

It's a pity that he was left to wait and wait until he was scratching his head. The two people over there seemed to have no intention of continuing the conversation, but just stood there silently. The two of them took a deep and shallow breath.

I don't know how long it took, until the sun had touched the horizon and the air was getting colder. Hua Mulan rubbed Baili Xuance's red hair, and comforted her, "Go back and rest first."

Baili Xuance held Fei Lian's hand tightly, nodded with a nonchalant expression on his face, finally withdrew his gaze from looking into the distance, turned and left.

But through the edge of the sand dunes, looking at those scorching red eyes, Baili Shouyue, who knows his brother very well, knows that this sensitive and immature heart is actually about to cry.

However, Hua Mulan does not have the gentle and delicate side that a woman should have. She is careless when she gets along with them. The old man can tell the difference... Wait... Uncle seems to like vegetarian too?  ….emmmmmmmm

Forget it, let's not consider the uncle's gender or sexuality, in short, you don't have any gender awareness at all.Now facing my poor and lovely brother who has suffered so much outside and suffered so many crimes, it’s okay not to comfort him, but he even slapped his thin back so hard that he almost sent him flying ! !If it wasn't for Xuan Ce's steady footwork, he swayed a few times to stabilize his figure with difficulty, and now I have to calculate the parabola to find someone! !

Do you think my younger brother is in the same configuration as our hulking captain? !

Are you not afraid of breaking his spine? ! ! !

Grinding his molar teeth, Baili Shouyue just wanted to jump out to let his poor brother feel his warm embrace, when he saw his own Xuance turned his head and showed his face to Hua Mulan who had just slapped him. One that doesn't look like a 'wait and see' type of malicious smile...

It's over, it's over, I've only been missing for a few years, how could I be so stupid? !

It's fine if you don't smile at my brother, but why do you smile at that unknown creature whose hair is pink and tender, but in fact there is a [-]-meter tall man living in his heart!

Dazzled by envy, jealousy, and hatred, Baili Shouyue stopped grinding his teeth, and started to rub the trigger of his love with his thumb. Just as he was hesitating as a brother, if he failed like this, suicide would be better to save face, or he would kill him. When this colleague who dared to be more popular with his younger brother than himself was better, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and a terrifying idea appeared in his mind.

Xuance, he...couldn't be in love, right?

The target is... Miss Mulan? ? ?

No no no, how is this possible? ?Sister Mulan is older than him... Who knows how old? Isn't it said that there is a generation gap every three years? It's almost like the Pacific Ocean!How could it be possible to fall in love with her? ! !

Wait... What if he has some Oedipus complex?A colleague I knew before was also like this, he likes women who are older than me, this kind of personal preference is not impossible...

its not right! !That colleague was brought up by his own mother alone, so that his preferences were biased. Xuance was obviously hand-fed by me since he was a child... Cough, if you want to be in love, you should be in love Brother Love! !Why is Oedipus? ? ?

.......

emmmmmmm... love brother?

Boobs...?

Thinking of Hua Mulan's chest, which is not as spectacular as some mages under the tight leather jacket, but overall it can be regarded as magnificent breasts, Baili Shouyan seems to have realized something......

Brother... so you like this type...?

That doesn't work either! !Puppy love is harmful to physical and mental health! !

Baili Shouyi was so anxious that he almost gnawed on the sand dunes, but the two people on the other side walked leisurely all the way one after the other, completely unaware that in this short period of time, there was a person behind him who had turned his mind. Several big plays, and have even started writing a sequel.

Missing the best time for a headshot, Baili Shouyue himself was also very desperate, but it was absolutely impossible to let go of the brother he had found so hard to return to the Great Wall Guards, so he had to pat his head—what else could he do? Do it, keep going!

Unexpectedly, this follow-up lasted a whole night.

From the thousands of miles of desert to the oasis where the demons gather, on the way, they even encountered two teams of horse thieves robbing. Sister Mulan didn't want to protect Xuan Ce, but let him do it by herself! !The figure of the leader of the horse thief can be stacked up against two and a half Xuances, and his skills can also be attributed to high-level miscellaneous fish.Fortunately, Xuan Ce's master has fulfilled the responsibility of a master and taught him well, otherwise Baili Shou promise would have rushed straight up!

However, Baili Xuance, who has been sensitive since he was a child, doesn't know how he grew up. He didn't dare to fight in the past, but now he can be as dangerous as he is, as exciting as he is, and as desperate as he is. These two times alone took less than 10 minutes. During the battle, Baili Shouyue, who was escorting the gun secretly, almost pulled the trigger to save people no less than ten times, but the opponent narrowly escaped every time.

At first, Baili Shouyi thought that his younger brother didn't do it on purpose, but after careful observation, he found that the worrying little wolf cub was simply enjoying the pleasure of wandering on the edge of life! Hundan!

Clutching his heart that was still pounding with nervousness, he felt that if he came a few more times, he might be able to be directly admitted to the senior VIP ward of the Medical Department of the Great Wall Guards.

mmp!Scared me into a cold sweat!

Wiping the sweat that flowed from his forehead to the tip of his chin with the back of his hand wearing a leather glove, Baili Shouyue took a deep breath to slow down. After more than ten minutes, the two people finally found themselves in a lake in the oasis. side stopped.

Using flame stones and dead branches picked up from around, he built a bonfire as high as his calf. Hua Mulan patrolled around to make sure that there was no danger, and then sat on the ground leaning on a low bush, with a sharp long sword standing upright. It's on her right hand, making sure it's within reach.Baili Xuance sat opposite her, with the big flying sickle hanging on his waist, casually playing with the small one.

The two of them were silent about each other, only the sound of 'crackling' echoed when the flame stone burned.

Just when Baili Shouyue, who was watching, was so bored that he was about to fall asleep, suddenly Baili Xuance blinked his burning red eyes, and asked in a low voice as if he was talking to himself, "You said...I want to go back Looking for brother?"

Suddenly hearing that he was being called, Baili Shouyue, who was already so sleepy and began to nod, instantly sobered up!

Hua Mulan, who was holding a palm-sized book and was looking at the firelight, closed the book casually, thought for a while, and asked, "What do you think?"

"I hate him." Baili Xuance seemed to be thinking of the scene when he was abandoned by his brother in the vat again, the hand holding the short flying sickle couldn't help tightening, and one of them was cut out by the sharp blade without paying attention. A shallow mouth.But as if he didn't feel it, he still held it tightly, allowing the blood droplets to condense into beads, and slipped down the back of his hand that had been roughened by wind and sand all year round, leaving only a bright red and glaring trace.

"Actually... when I was on the Gobi Desert today, I seemed to feel the breath of my brother... familiar... I obviously hated it, but I still couldn't help but miss it so much that I wanted to cry. ..."

The young boy's immature face softened a lot under the light of the fire. Although he spoke words full of hatred, his eyes reflecting the flames revealed the most sincere thoughts, which was his truest heart.

The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and Hua Mulan couldn't help but leaned over and stretched out her hand, and rubbed his short fiery red hair across the fire, with a rare gentleness in her usual strong tone, "This shows that you still miss him very much."

In order to prevent being discovered, Baili, who can only listen but not watch, has mixed feelings in his heart.

The younger brother should hate himself...because at the beginning...he missed the appointment.

He didn't protect Xuan Ce well, causing him to be captured by the devil, and his life and death are unknown.

But guessing and actually hearing the attitude of the other party, the feeling is completely different.

He thought that he had already made all the psychological preparations, no matter whether his younger brother hated or complained, he would be able to deal with it calmly, and then tried his best to make up for the missed appointment back then, and continue the previous promise.In order to keep himself in mind all the time, he even forgot his original name and changed it to Baili Shouyue.

But now... the pain of being distrusted by the person he loves the most and is the closest to him makes his handsome brow furrow, and his heart throbs in pain.It was as if there was a thick bitter juice, slowly flowing down the blood vessels, and fell heavily into the stomach, there was an indescribably uncomfortable sourness.

On the other side, Baili Xuance didn't know about his brother's entanglement, he just blinked his eyes, the corners of his mouth slightly turned down, and said in a low voice, "I don't know...I should hate him...I hate him for not keeping the promise I hate him for abandoning me..." He paused for a while, Zhang Yang had a helpless smile on his face, as if he was unwilling to still miss his family and forget the hurt; The compromise of my favorite relative "But he is my brother, I can only forgive him."

Hua Mulan knew that he was just venting her emotions, so she didn't say much, just poked the flint pile with a branch wordlessly.

The depression that had been accumulated in his heart for many years was finally released by taking this opportunity. Baili Xuance seemed to have opened up a chatterbox, without any intention of stopping.Putting down the flying sickle in his hand, his right hand that was still bleeding was propped on the sand indifferently, his body leaned forward slightly, and continued to say with a distressed expression, "You said that Master abandoned me because he was carrying too many heavy things. I choose to face the fear alone... When the demons invaded the town, my brother did the same, letting me hide in a big vat... Even though my body is so small, it is not as tall as I am now, but I carried it alone Gun, leaving only a promise to keep forever..."

It seems to be returning to that desperate day, the roar of dying, the blunt sound of weapons piercing into the flesh, and the messy footsteps of running for life or chasing prey...all are hiding in the water tank echoed in his ears.The shadow of death covered his young body, the smell of blood in his breath, the filthy demonic energy of the devil's body and the breath of human beings were entangled together, it was disgusting, like a heavy nightmare, and he couldn't break free.

Where is brother?

Has our city been held?

I'm so scared... Xuance is really scared...

Many people died...many, many people died...brother is he...okay?

There seemed to be some sobs in the voice of the young man who was talking, and he said in a trembling tone, "Why can't they trust me once? Rather than being abandoned by saying protection, I would rather face fear with them. Why don't they understand? ! No matter how dangerous it is, I want to bear it with them!!!”

The last sentence was almost growled, and Baili Xuance clenched his hands into fists and pressed hard on the ground.Gritting his teeth, it seemed that he had exhausted all his strength, trying to contain his excitement so as not to lose his composure.

But his trembling body already said it all.

Baili Shouyue, who took a sneak peek, suddenly had a sore nose and then a pain in his arm.

It is not difficult to understand that the nose is sore, because I was quite touched after hearing my brother's confession.But as for the pain in the arm...

He clutched his unfortunately injured right elbow, turned his head silently, and looked at the white-haired man next to him who was also looking at him with a deep (confused) face, with blood on the tip of the knife on the back of his right hand.

......There is even a peeping friend?

———Two people thought at the same time.

Both were peeping, and both of them could see that the other was doing homework secretly. The master who didn't want to be discovered, the bloody smell was inevitably noticed by the two people over there. , shall we talk in the past? '

The white-haired man shook his head, and said with only a pair of exposed eyes, "The west is not safe, go east." '

Baili Shouyue, who didn't know why he had suddenly activated the eye contact skill, nodded, and the two of them entered the invisible state again, who knows who ran to the Gobi about a mile away to the east.

Showing his figure, Baili Shouyue was holding a gun, and asked the strangely dressed man who didn't look like a good person with an unfriendly expression, "Who are you? What's the purpose of following my brother?!"

Who knew that the other party was taken aback when he heard the words, but instead asked, "Are you Xuan Ce's brother? What's your name?"

Baili Shouyue has never been stingy and swore his sovereignty as an elder brother. He said unceremoniously, "My name is Baili Shouyue, it's your turn."

"...King Lanling, Xuan Ce's...master." Just after saying this, King Lanling raised the long blade on the back of his hand, and his cold voice was full of killing intent, "Xuance's brother clearly It’s called Baili Dahui, who are you? What’s the purpose of coming here??”

Isn't that my old name? !

Baili kept the promise with black lines all over his face.

Wait... Xuan Ce's master... If I remember correctly, didn't you just leave my brother and leave like being handsome yesterday at noon... Why did you follow me back as soon as you turned your head? ? ?

But since he is Xuan Ce's master, this is really flooding the Dragon King Temple.

He didn't know how to explain to this person, who had snatched Xuan Ce for many years, but was still the master of the other party in name, that he was him.But anyway, he can be regarded as his brother's benefactor, no matter what he can't fight with him, Baili Shouyue couldn't help but scratched the back of his head with his right hand, struggling and said, "No... that... I used to be It was called Baili Dahui...but in order to keep in mind the agreement with Xuan Ce, it was renamed Baili Shouyi."

After thinking about it, he added, "If you don't believe me, you can ask the people in the small town where we lived, they all know about it."

....... Lao Tzu is a wanted person, you want me to go to your place to ask?Isn't this giving you a chance to catch a turtle in your urn? !

To this question, King Lanling's answer was a merciless sneak attack.

Master Xuan Ce's skill really should not be underestimated, Baili kept his promise and asked himself to participate in many battles, he had killed [-] enemies if not [-], but he had never seen such fierce skill!King Lanling is like a beast lurking in the dark, always striking hard at angles that you can't notice, with fatal moves, and a careless one may return to Lihentian.

If it is normal, Baili Shouyue is willing to fight seriously with the opponent, but in the face of this situation where he cannot fight back, even if he is very confident in his marksmanship, he can only dodge non-stop, and was almost beaten several times. Sneak attack.

And even if the other party found out his unwillingness to do anything, he didn't stop. Instead, he made more tricky moves, and vowed not to stop until he took his life! !

Just when Baili Shouyue had several cuts on his body and was about to be unable to hold on, suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he yelled extremely fast at the oncoming Feng Ren, "I have a piece on my chest." Xuan Ce’s wood carvings when he was a child!!!!!!”

The blade stopped suddenly a few centimeters in front of his eyes.

Swallowing, Baili Shouyue, who narrowly saved his life, quickly took off the wooden carving, and handed it to the man who put down some murderous aura in front of him.

There is no need to pick it up at all, King Lanling was sure the first time he saw the wood carving, this must be the appearance of Xuan Ce when he just picked it up - big ears, small body, so weak that he could touch it Even touching it seems to hurt him... Is this man really Xuan Ce's brother? ?

Since he is one of his own, there is no need to fight, but he has no interest in understanding the half-human, half-demon in the Tang Kingdom.Taking a casual glance at the man in the uniform of the Great Wall Guards, King Lanling said, "Don't tell Xuan Ce." Then he turned and fled into the darkness.

Baili Shouyue looked at the direction the other party was leaving in a daze for a while, then withdrew his outstretched hand.

Under the bright moonlight, he carefully looked at this wood carving that has never been away since Xuan Ce disappeared. Every piece and every inch was carefully carved by himself. I don’t know how many times I have seen it. , but it is not what it is today.

Maybe...the boy I once held in my hand...has really grown up.

Maybe.... I really should let him choose.

perhaps....

As if he had made up his mind, Baili kept his promise tightly to the woodcarving of his younger brother, and sneaked back to the resting place of Hua Mulan and Baili Xuance, cherishing the woodcarving that had been with him for many years It was padded with a piece of cloth torn from the cloak and placed on the ground not far away.

My beloved brother... this time, I will give you the choice.

This time, you can do everything you want, and whenever you come to me, I will be waiting for you on the Great Wall.

Fulfill our agreement of the year.

This is an oath as an older brother.

Finally, he glanced at Baili Xuance's face with nostalgia. Although he was reluctant to part with him, Baili kept his promise and chose to turn around and leave.

I just hope that you won't keep your brother waiting too long.

Hua Mulan, who seemed to be sleeping with her eyes closed, opened her eyes unconsciously, showed a bright smile in the direction he was leaving, and continued to close her eyes to rest with a smile on her face.

As for Baili keeping the promise after going back......

"Aren't you so courageous?!!! How dare you openly disobey the order and stay away at night?!!!!!!"

"Captain...you listen to my explanation..."

"Excuse me!!!! Next month!!! Next month!!! Next month!!! All food for the guards will be made by you!!!"

"I....."

"Now!!! Immediately!!! Immediately!!! Get out!!!!!!"

Baili keeping the contract:.......QAQ
