One of the Twelve Kingdoms

The giant wolf drew a black shadow between the night city and the moonlight, and got lost in the night with the boy's hazy cries.

"I can't just leave like this! Yanqi, go back, I'm ordering you!" The beast rider didn't slow down at all, and Joshua looked back at the gradually leaving home and choked up: "I hate you, Yanqi, you are a robber. "

"My lord, we made an agreement before we came back." Sheng Qi raised his arm to make him sit still. Joshua was even angrier when he heard this sentence, and shouted at him: "You don't need to remind me!"

Joshua suddenly became quiet, and he heard the roar of the motorcycle engine.He looked down at the ground, and a black and red motorcycle followed them closely, moving through the streets like a cheetah.

"Jonathan?" Joshya immediately recognized his elder brother, and Yan Qi also spotted the follower, but he didn't intend to stop.

The giant wolf flew higher and higher, deliberately taking a detour to escape the difficult pursuer.However, the opponent is obviously superior, like a shadow that cannot be shaken off, biting behind him.Jonathan's eyes were like a falcon staring at the target through the helmet, the sound of the engine became more and more high-frequency, and the pointer on the dial soared to the highest.

"It's too dangerous, stop it for me, Yan Qi!" Joshya kept staring at Jonathan, every time the brightly colored motorcycle passed by cars and pedestrians and every turn without slowing down made his heart rise in his throat Yan'er, "Go down quickly, that's my brother!"

Chang Meng finally landed on the ground under the order of Yan Qi, and Jonathan followed him into the alley, and the sound of screeching brakes was particularly ear-piercing.He took off his helmet and rushed towards his brother, the bike slamming down behind him like Jonathan was about to burst into flames.

"Josh! What the hell is going on here!" He angrily glanced at the giant wolf and Yan Qi: "So you were kidnapped by aliens, right?"

"Brother, listen to me." Joshua understood that lies could no longer fool him, and he needed to give his family an explanation.

Jonathan stared at his younger brother and nodded: "Say, I'm listening."

Joshua tried to meet his eyes without showing timidity: "I'm not your brother."

"what?!"

The next second, Joshya was picked up by Jonathan, and Jonathan's expression seemed to be eating him in the next second: "Who are you? Where is Joshya? Have you locked him up?"

"No, I'm Joshya, brother, what I mean is," Joshah swallowed hard on tiptoe, "I mean I wasn't born by my mother. No, I was born by my mother , but not her son."

Jonathan breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at him like he was insane: "Josh, do you have a fever?"

"No, I'm fine, very awake." Joshya looked at his brother and explained: "I'm the same as Xi Qi, I'm from the same world as them, and I have to stay there to survive."

"Who forced you to stay there?" Jonathan gave Yan Qi a threatening look, and Joshah sighed. Even if he said those things, he didn't think Jonathan would believe them: "No, you don't understand. That world is not the same as here It’s different, as long as I stay there, I can live forever, but once I leave, I can only die.”

"Youth forever?" Jonathan sneered. "What's that? A picture of the damned Dorian Gray?"

He really didn't believe it, if he said that he was the king there, Jonathan would definitely think his younger brother was an elementary school student who was obsessed with reading comics.

"It's okay to think so..." He said as if giving up.

When the two brothers were talking, at the same position when Gong Qi arrived, the channel connecting the two worlds was quietly connecting, and the bright halo radiated brilliance in the dark alley, like a pure white dream.

"My lord." Yan Qi whispered, Joshua looked at the white circle of light, the slowly flowing light was waiting for him.

Jonathan's gaze was also instantly attracted by it, and all the fog found its source at this moment.He walked slowly, and stretched his hand into the light. There should be a solid ground, but his hand seemed to have stretched into an ancient deep well. Only the wind and time flowed between his fingers, and he could even hear the distant It seemed to be a faint voice from another time and space.

They held their breath almost simultaneously.

"This is……?"

Joshua nodded: "That's right."

Jonathan seemed to understand something, he stood up sullenly, and asked his brother, "Do you have any money with you?"

Joshya relaxed and replied, "Our money doesn't circulate there."

"Well, he's the one who took you, isn't he?"

"Yes, I really didn't tell the truth..." Joshya couldn't deny it, and Jonathan stepped into the light circle: "Then maybe I should go with you."

Joshua immediately pulled his brother back, "No, you should stay at home, Mom and Dad need you. If even you disappear..."

"Then find a way to come back."

Jonathan nodded and looked away, as if he was thinking about something, then he grabbed his brother's head, kissed the top of his head like he did when he was a child, and said, "Listen, Josh, you are my brother, from the Fiennes family. Son, no matter where you are, you must keep this in mind."

"I know." Joshua hugged his brother's back and kissed his shoulder. His brother's violent heartbeat and the steaming heat on his body made him feel a little hot: "I will miss you."

"We must find a way to come back." Jonathan patted him on the back.

Joshya bowed his head. "I will," he heard himself say.

They walked into the aperture, and white light engulfed them. The energy generated by the space-time rift was converted into data and transmitted to the computer, forming light blue light spots that flickered on the black screen, and at the same time made a beeping sound.

Two people in white coats and glasses immediately gathered around the screen. They looked like they were in a huge fantasy museum. The extremely oriental layout looked quaint and mysterious, filled with rows of bookshelves and various All kinds of weird animal models, the most prominent place is a light golden unicorn, the holy beast in Western mythology, but it fits here unexpectedly.

The man in his forties couldn't hide the excitement and ecstasy in his eyes, staring at the light spot as if he had found a peerless treasure: "The signal has been caught, where are the coordinates?"

The young female assistant immediately called out the geographic location: "Near the Huayson Bar on Princess Avenue." As soon as she finished speaking, the prompt sound gradually weakened, and the blue dot disappeared like a flying firefly.

"Doctor, the signal is gone."

"Oh, no..." The man stared in disbelief at the computer that had returned to silence, then immediately took off his uniform and said, "Eileen, get the equipment and drive, we'll go to the scene right away."

……

There is obviously a time difference between the Twelve Kingdoms and Earth.Tossing and turning between two spaces is just a blink of an eye, but the dark night becomes the sunny noon in an instant.

"Thank you, Lian Taifu." Joshua didn't feel dizzy like the first time, he looked at the gentle and beautiful Lian Lin who was like an elf, and thanked him.

Lian Lin smiled softly, and Wu Gang's ring snake, which was connected head to tail, let go of its tail, and swam back to Qi Lin's wrist like a real thin snake, turning into an inorganic ornament again.

Joshya stared at the series of changes without blinking. He knew it was rude, but he just couldn't take his eyes off Lian Lin's magical bracelet.

Why is there no such good thing in Xiqi?he thought angrily.

"Tomorrow is the enthronement ceremony, so be sure to stay a little longer."

Lian Lin's smile concealed a trace of sadness: "Well, I haven't seen Cailin Jingqi and the others for a long time. But Lian Wang himself may not be able to come in person."

Yan Qi seemed to have noticed something, and then the two unicorns looked at Joshua with melancholy eyes like spring rain. The new king thought they were asking for his consent, and immediately said: "Of course I welcome, you You can stay as long as you like." In fact, he is more willing to exchange Yan Qi and Lian Lin, even though Yan Qi is very handsome.

After arranging Lian Lin into the guest hall, Yan Qi began to make up lessons for Joshya non-stop.

After the previous events, Yan Qi did everything by himself. He solemnly marked the process of the ceremony with a map of the palace, while trying to make the absent-minded King Gong listen.

"On the day of the enthronement ceremony, you must go out of bed at Maoshi, lead the important ministers to sacrifice to the gods in the Taimiao, pray for the long-term peace and stability of the clever country, and then go to the Fushou Hall to water the source of trees and pray for the prosperity of the people. Receive all the officials, watch the shooting ceremony... Lord, are you listening?"

Joshua hummed perfunctorily, concentrating all his energy on the drawing paper and pencil in his hand.There was a pair of photo frames out of place on the delicate and heavy desk, and he hardly looked at it, but the gradually formed image on the white drawing paper was exactly the same as the family in the photo.

"Get up early, worship God, water trees, feed birds, shoot arrows." Joshya replied without looking up, then threw the sketchbook on the table and glanced at the dazzling ceiling: "I hate the decoration here."

Yan Qi didn't know what to answer, and most of the time he didn't know how to respond to King Gong's words properly, but luckily he always changed the subject very quickly.

Joshua looked at his notes: "Why don't you prepare for an extra day or two? Such things are as complicated as history textbooks."

"The sooner the enthronement ceremony is held, the easier it is to stabilize the hearts of the people. This is very important for the current clever country."

"This will ensure that I will live a healthy life?" Joshya quickly grasped the point, he took the topographic map and sat on the overly luxurious bed, "I will remember every word on it , you go first."

Yan Qi looked at him, and then at the painting that Joshya threw on the table. It was a group photo of the whole family, but the four people in the photo were all smiling brightly like the sun, and Joshya on the painting But lowered his eyes.

He looked away, stood up and bowed slightly: "Then I will take my leave first."
