One of the Twelve Kingdoms

"What's the matter with the yard?" Jonathan suddenly asked quietly when Joshua felt that all the problems had been solved.

Joshua froze immediately. He secretly glanced at the rotten flowerpot tree, and quickly exaggerated the evil deeds of the culprit, Freddy Vincent.Jonathan silently glanced at the crumbling garden, and gave a brief hum as if to express his understanding, but Sen Leng's eyes looked like he was about to draw a gun and kill someone in the next second.

That was Jonathan's biggest hobby besides motorcycles. God knows how much effort he spent on growing those flowers and plants. He even planted the flowers that he once gave his girlfriend.

Even though it wasn't Joshya's fault, Joshya was still instinctively guilty under his brother's perennial suppression, and comforted him: "Uh, I will ask them for compensation, I swear."

Jonathan lowered his head, thought for a while and asked, "You just said that Vincent's family must come to take away Xingqi tomorrow?"

Joshua heard that his brother didn't seem to pursue the matter of the yard anymore, and his tone became lighter: "That's right, that little rich man who is covered in perfume treats our house as a pet shop. Vincent once funded 'Plastic Flowers', no People who know better than them, we can use them to get what we want to know."

"I have secretly checked the work log of the research institute. Once, the operation record time of the space transmission machine was very close to the time when we came back. It is very likely that we are here now because two unstable magnetic fields do not want to interfere with the effect." Jie Sen said to Joshua: "Your brother and I have already talked about this, we have to figure out whether this was done on purpose by the research institute or just an accident."

If this is a purposeful behavior, then the research institute must have a very careful deduction formula, and they just need to do it all over again; Creating the same conditions and environment is likely to produce completely different consequences.

"We'll find the answer," Josh said.

After Jonathan went to the yard with a notebook to settle the losses, Joshya realized that Alexander was not wearing a police uniform today, but a black formal suit, which made him even more handsome.

"Are you going to a charity gala tonight?" Joshya asked casually, and the latter paused, "Actually, I just attended a funeral."

Joshua suddenly felt stupid, "Oh, I'm sorry...are they your relatives?"

"No, it's the neighbor next door." Alexander always looked at him with affectionate eyes, he couldn't intervene in the discussion just now, and now he finally waited for the time for the two of them to be alone, and immediately sent an invitation: "Tonight'Sardinia' It's uniform night, do you want to come with me?"

But Joshua shook his head: "I don't think it's a good time to go out and have fun, Alex."

Alexander was a little disappointed, but this thoughtful Italian man still kept smiling and said, "It's a pity, it seems that I will have the chance to see you wearing a doctor's suit next time." Joshya also felt a little unfair to her boyfriend, and pulled Pointing at his fingers, he said coquettishly, "Sorry, we can order a pizza. Although it's not as lively as outside, there's nothing wrong with staying at home together."

Alexander happily accepted his offer.The two of them nestled on the sofa in the living room and watched TV. Jason and Baihu took Xiongqi to find excuses to leave.Alexander habitually rubbed the back of Joshua's neck, rubbing his whole body up.Joshua slowly swallowed the sausage in his mouth, blushing while feeling hot, listening to the sound of wood snapping outside, worried that Jonathan would rush in suddenly.

Joshya was young, almost a man, yet biologically stuck at sixteen forever.Joshya's lanky frame has been the butt of ridicule among James' homophobes, but Alexander loves it.

The breathing in the ear became more intense, and Alexander's hoarse voice blew in his ear: "Go upstairs?"

Joshua panted, "No, Xiqi is in my room."

Alexander licked his lips, "Then go to my car?"

"Um... what?" Joshua exclaimed in surprise, trying to get back the rationality that had been teased out of the sky.Alexander, puzzled by his overreaction, reassured, "Don't worry, there's plenty of room inside."

He couldn't wait to stand up with Joshua in his arms. The latter looked at his deep eyes that were about to burst into flames, struggled for a few seconds and happily decided to follow his instinct.

The dark blue night sky, rimmed with maroon, looked as if it was about to rain.

Joshua didn't let the pressure Shanda stay, even though the other party wanted to do so, but the family was too crowded. In addition, when he was with these two at the same time, the oppressive feeling of having to make a choice would be infinitely suppressed. enlarge.

Joshua and Alexander went back to the bedroom after saying goodbye, and when they passed the yard, they saw the white tiger helping Jonathan to tidy up the sundries.

There was only one desk lamp turned on in the room, and the dim moonlight shone in. Xi Qi was sitting there with her long blond hair flowing on the ground, like a golden lake in a secret realm.

He was looking at Jason's picture album, and was staring at his own.

Joshua approached him subconsciously with light steps, thinking that he was still a little narcissistic.

The other party noticed his presence, closed the drawing book, stood up, turned around and bowed his head respectfully: "My lord."

Joshua was used to those etiquettes, and he straightened his back reflexively when he heard his words.

Yan Qi wore Jonathan's black shirt and trousers, her demeanor was a bit sharper, but her originally calm eyes became a little melancholy.Joshua wholeheartedly believed that it was caused by the broken horn, and comforted him, "Don't worry, I will find a way to get your horn back, and after I get back, I will go to Penglai to find an immortal to heal it for you."

"Cure?" Gong Qi didn't show much joy, his eyes flickered for a moment and then he pursed his lips tightly.

"Well, King Yan and King Song are already five or six hundred years old. Didn't it mean that the unicorns of Dai State also lost their horns, and they were cured later?" Joshua took out a sweater from the cabinet, and his body was sticky. He just wanted to take a shower as soon as possible, but he didn't care about Gong Qi's reaction.

After Joshua took a shower, he talked to Alexander on the phone again. The two of them felt tired for a long time, as if they had to finish talking in one breath, and finally made an appointment to meet tomorrow morning before falling asleep contentedly.

As a result, early the next morning, the Fiennes family received a visiting card, which was received by Jonathan, and the snow-white card had a faint fragrance.Joshua was baking toast with Alexander when he learned about it. He opened it, and on it he expressed his apologies for Freddie's rude disturbance yesterday in beautiful cursive letters, and said that he would personally entertain and apologize. Your Excellency, the inscription is Henry Vincent.

Joshua became sober when he saw the name. The person who came to deliver the invitation was the man who looked like a butler standing next to little Vincent yesterday. Seeing Joshua looking at him, he leaned slightly to let him see The three luxury cars waiting outside the gate said: "Master, I hope to invite you and your friends to my house as guests."

The attitude of Vincent's family suddenly changed 180 degrees, Joshua raised his eyebrows, and immediately understood that their focus had shifted from Cheng Qi to himself.He and Jonathan exchanged glances, and they all got into the car together.

Vincent's family was in a famous aristocratic area in London, and Joshya vaguely remembered whether Henry Vincent was an earl or a viscount.Joshua rolled down the car window, and first saw a group of white buildings with brick-red spires, and then they passed the gate with huge marble statues, followed by a typical Italian fountain garden. It is summer now, and the view is lush .

After getting out of the car, the butler rang the doorbell, and a middle-aged maid opened the door to invite them in.

The interior of the building is also in a classical style. Thick dark drapes hang from the carved ceiling to the murals and walls, crystal lights hang on the high dome, and the only lighting is the floor-to-ceiling glass windows.

"You are here." A bearded man in a shirt and vest came down the spiral staircase. There were many family portraits hanging beside the stairs.Seeing the eyes of several people brighten up, he quickened his pace and walked forward with a smile, his eyes fixed on Joshua's face accurately, and his tone implied a trace of excitement: "You are the King of Nao, right?"

"Joshya Fiennes, Mr. Vincent." Joshya reached out to shake his hand, and Henry ordered his servants to call his son down. When he saw Xiongqi, although he remained calm, his expression remained calm. But obviously changed.He took them to the teahouse for a seat.During the period, Alexander's police uniform made him glance at him without any trace, and the latter explained casually: "The time is too short, I didn't have time to change my clothes."

"It's because I didn't think carefully. After all, it's a bit too early for morning tea at this time." Henry smiled, his voice was relaxed and comfortable, but without losing his courage, he spoke and behaved like an old-fashioned gentleman.After the black tea and snacks were served one by one, Henry asked Fleck to solemnly apologize to everyone. Little Vincent curled his lips after pretending, and sat beside his father resentfully like a cat whose nails had been clipped.

After a brief greeting, Henry got to the point: "Your Excellency Fiennes..."

"Just call me Josh." Joshua secretly said in his heart that finally came, Henry suppressed the displeasure of being interrupted, and continued to say gently: "You are younger than I expected."

"I'm sixteen this year—"

"It's 26 years old, if I'm not mistaken."

Joshua was stunned for a moment, and said vaguely, "You can say that as well."

He looked at Jonathan again: "And you should be 30 years old."

"I'm not surprised you know this, otherwise you wouldn't have come to us." Jonathan said.

Henry smiled, "Don't you understand? You hold the most precious thing in the world in your hands. How many people have spent countless efforts, money, and energy to obtain it, but they still can't get youth and health..." He stared at Staring at Xi Qi was like staring at prey, and even that brat Freddy couldn't help but glance at his father.

"And eternity."

Joshua immediately understood: "Do you want to be one of us?"

Henry tapped his finger on the table lightly: "It's not me."
