Chapter Thirty-Three Brothers and Sisters

In the evening of September 1, 289, the imperial calendar of the Britannia Empire.

Pendragon, the residence of Jacob Churchill.

In a small room, Jacob was sitting on a soft sofa, and in front of him was a person kneeling on one knee.

If Su Cheng were here, he would definitely be shocked, because the person who was kneeling in front of Jacob was the red-haired captain of the thousand-man team in the crusade army he led!

And Jacob was squinting his sharp eyes, quietly listening to the report of the captain of the red-haired thousand.

"...The above is the whole story of this battle, not only that Su Cheng is a monster, but also the little girl named Alan who is following him is also a monster. Her force is so high that it is unimaginable. ...Ah, it seems that there is a little girl named Deng who is also with Su Cheng, and she seems to be a savvy person." The captain of the red-haired thousand-man team said in a deep voice.

"Well, thank you for your hard work." Jacob waved his hand, "Go down first."

"yes."

After the captain of the Red-Haired Thousands exited the small room, Jacob narrowed his piercing eyes and murmured:

"Originally, I just wanted to put someone by your side so that I could take a closer look at your performance, but I didn't expect that Alan is also a character that cannot be ignored... Forget it, judging from the report, it seems that he is just an empty and brave man. She's just a person, I'm not very interested in her, I still care more about Su Cheng now..."

Jacob squinted his eyes, looking at the empty front, wondering what he was thinking.

After a long time, Jacob opened his mouth and said to himself:

"Su Cheng...if you are treated well, what level can you reach..."

Bright lights burst from Jacob's eyes.

...

Pendragon, in the hut rented by the four of Su Cheng.

"...Then, I thought the three of us were going to be hacked to death by the cavalry behind. Alan grabbed the longbow and shot at the cavalry behind, one enemy at a time..."

Deng Jiaer held a bottle of pine wine in his right hand, his cheeks were reddish, and he was telling Kailor what happened when the three of them led the crusade against the rebellion.

And Kai Luoer was sitting on the bed, holding a bottle of pine wine in her hand. After drinking a lot of wine, her eyes became cloudy, but it seemed that she hadn't been listening to Deng Jiaer's speech since just now. .

Seeing Kailuoer's current appearance, Su Cheng frowned, and then snatched the pine wine from Kailuoer's arms.

"Don't drink it. If you drink any more, you will be drunk and make a fool of yourself. Do you know that you look ugly when drunk, like a 6-year-old child."

"No! Give me back the wine!"

Kailor stretched out his hands, grabbed Su Cheng's direction twice, and then dropped his arms weakly.

"Ahh...it seems like he's already drunk." Su Cheng rubbed his forehead helplessly.

This afternoon, after Su Cheng and his army returned smoothly, they went straight to the restaurant where Kai Luoer worked.

After arriving in the kitchen, he returned the bracelet that Kailor had given him before the expedition. Kailuoer threw away the kitchen knife in his hand, and squeezed Su Cheng's hand regardless of the oil in his hand. Scratching and rubbing his face, Su Cheng's face was covered with oil.

"Are any of you injured? No one was injured, right? Is the food okay..."

All kinds of questions shot out from Kellor's good-looking mouth like a cannonball.

After learning that all three of Su Cheng were safe, that no one was injured, and that they had returned from a big victory, Kailor happily proposed to celebrate with a reception tonight.

And now, without Su Cheng's surprise, Kailor passed out after drinking half a bottle of Song Lang wine.

But this time it was much better than before. The drunk Kailor in the past looked like a little girl a few years old.

He did a lot of funny things, but this time when Su Cheng snatched the wine bottle, Kailor struggled a little, then fell quietly on the bed and fell asleep.

Alan, who was sitting next to Kailuoer, stroked Kailuoer's smooth aqua-blue hair with a smile like a cat.

Alan looked at Su Cheng, and found that Su Cheng's attention was not on her and Kai Luoer now, Alan leaned down, leaned into Kai Luoer's ear, and said softly: "Kai Luoer, you give I have successfully completed my task."

With blushing cheeks and closed eyes, Kairoll slightly turned up the corners of his mouth at this time, revealing a charming smile, and murmured:

"Well...Alan...thank you..."

"Alan, come and continue the banquet."

Su Cheng waved to Alan.

"Don't worry about Carol, let her sleep alone, let's continue to hold the banquet. Oh, before the expedition, I really didn't expect that I would come back alive and hold a celebration banquet."

"Yeah, here we come."

After arranging Kailor's position on the bed and spreading the quilt for her, Alan continued to join in the celebration banquet.

Although there were only 3 people left, the celebration banquet was still very happy, and all 3 people were drinking and eating happily. ,

Soon, Deng Jiaer, who didn't drink very much, also collapsed, leaving only Alan and Su Cheng.

"Oh, Alan, it's just me and you..."

Su Cheng's alcohol capacity has always been okay, and he has drunk several bottles of Songlang wine, but his cheeks are only flushed, and he is far from being drunk.

Alan also took a sip of the pine wine.

Afterwards, Alan said to Su Cheng:

"Brother, didn't you tell us before that you don't have anything you are good at, and you don't have anything you like to do?"

As soon as Alan finished speaking, Su Cheng immediately replied with a wry smile:

"That's right, I don't have anything I'm good at or know how to do, and at the same time I don't have anything I like to do. The only thing I like to do is probably reading."

After hearing what Su Cheng said, Alan showed a slight smile on his face, and said:

"But, in this battle, I seem to have found what you are good at and what you like to do."

"After going around the fortress built by Abbott, after you said that you found a way to break through the fortress, you showed a very happy smile... In the past three years, I have rarely seen my brother show such a happy smile .”

Alan raised his head and looked directly into Su Cheng's eyes, and continued:

"Brother, you should understand what I mean? You are not a useless person with little ability!"

Su Cheng lowered his head slightly, a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.

At this moment, Deng Jiaer, who was supposed to be lying on the ground blushing, suddenly sat up and shouted:

"Drink again!"

"Deng Jiaer," Alan said in surprise, "you're not drunk yet?"

"Of course." Deng Jiaer smiled silly, "I don't get drunk so easily."

"Stop drinking!" Su Cheng frowned, "Don't forget that you are only 14 years old, not yet an adult, so don't drink too much."

"do not do it!"

Alan looked at Deng Jiaer who was arguing with Su Cheng, blinked his eyes twice, and said quietly:

"Deng Jia'er, do you have any questions to ask me in the past 20 days?"

"Eh?"

Alan looked puzzled.

"What question can I ask you?"

"for example--"

There was a hint of self-mockery in Alan's tone.

"For example, why do I kill people without blinking my eyes, and I don't feel afraid of killing people at all."

After listening to Alan's words, Su Cheng's expression changed.

"This, this..."

Deng Jiaer scratched his right cheek, was silent for a while, and then said:

"Although I was a little puzzled at first, and I was a little scared, but then I gradually figured it out. I think there are all kinds of people in this world. Some of them have never led soldiers, but the first A man of God who can lead troops at one time and still be able to command freely. There are also masters who are strong in force and never resist killing or seeing blood. I don’t think it’s surprising.”

"Ah, there's more." Deng Jiaer continued, "I asked my husband this question before, but he didn't tell me, he said that you don't want too many people to know about your past, and said that you will wait until later. When the opportunity comes, you will naturally tell me.”

After hearing Deng Jiaer's words, Alan froze for a moment, and then let out a series of laughter like silver bells.

"Deng Jia'er, I may be born with supernatural powers and extraordinary talents in fighting techniques, but I am not born to be unafraid of killing or seeing blood. I just got used to it before."

"Xi, are you used to it?"

Deng Jiaer looked at Alan with some astonishment.

Alan took another sip of his drink.

"However, my brother is right. I really don't want too many people to know about my past, so I'm sorry, Deng Jiaer. I don't want to tell you about my past now. I will wait until the opportunity comes. Of course I'll tell you."

Alan suddenly showed a bit of disappointment, and then continued:

"I just hope that by then, Deng Jiaer, after you know what happened to me, you don't want to dislike me."

"I, I won't despise you!" Deng Jiaer said with a big smile on his face, "Although I haven't spent a long time with you, after this period of time, I have slowly I fell in love with Alan, Carol, and Mister, and I have already regarded the three of you as my most important friends, so no matter what, I will not despise or hate my most important friends!"

After finishing speaking, Deng Jiaer raised the wine bottle in his hand high.

"Come on! Let's keep drinking! Alan, let's have a competition! Let's see who gets drunk first between the two of us!"

"Oh?"

There was a strong fighting intent in Alan's eyes.

"Although I don't drink very much, if I fight you Deng Jiaer, I don't think I will lose!"

Alan also raised the wine bottle in his hand high.

"Compare! Let's see if you, Deng Jiaer, are better, or me!"

...

After the two drank an unknown number of bottles of wine, they finally decided the winner.

It was Alan's victory.

Deng Jiaer had already collapsed on the floor unconscious.

Although Alan won, after drinking so much alcohol, she also felt that her head had become a lot dizzy.

At this moment, Alan suddenly felt that someone was holding his right shoulder.

——It was Su Cheng. Just now, Su Cheng who was on Alan's left suddenly stretched out his right hand, passed through Alan's back, and quietly hugged Alan's small right shoulder.

"Brother, what's wrong?" Alan asked.

"It's nothing." Su Cheng said with a smile, "It's just that I suddenly want to hug my sister."

"Brother, you feel disgusted when you say that."

Although he said it was disgusting, Alan moved his body silently, bringing his body closer to Su Cheng's arms.

The two of them hugged and were hugged silently.

After a while, Alan suddenly said:

"elder brother."

"Ok?"

"If Deng Jiaer told me about my past, would she dislike or be afraid of me?"

"No way."

Su Cheng smiled.

"Didn't you tell Kailuoer about your past at that time, did Kailuoer express disgust and fear to you?"

Alan was silent.

Afterwards, Alan moved his body again, so that his small body was almost shrunk into Su Cheng's arms, and his small head rested on Su Cheng's left shoulder.

And Su Cheng also raised his left hand, coordinating with his right hand, and hugged Alan together.

"elder brother."

"Ok?"

"It feels... It's been a long time since I've been hugged by you like this."

"...It seems like yeah, I almost forgot when was the last time we hugged each other so intimately."

Speaking of this, Su Cheng paused for a while, and then said with a smile:

"Ah, it feels so good to hug a beautiful girl. I want to keep hugging like this forever."

"Why? Do you have evil thoughts about your sister?" Alan smiled angrily.

"However." Alan suddenly changed the topic, "You can hug if you want."

Alan also raised his hand and put his arms around Su Cheng's waist.

"...No matter how much time passes in the future, the two of us will hold each other like this."

Su Cheng froze for a moment, then smiled softly.

"Well, don't worry, even if we both become grandpas and grandmas in their 70s and 80s in the future, I will still hug you like this."

"After all," Su Cheng added, "we are brothers and sisters—in this world, brothers and sisters depend on each other for life."

After hearing what Su Cheng said, Alan showed a happy smile, nodded vigorously, then increased the strength of the hand around Su Cheng's waist, and hugged Su Cheng tightly.
