.Chapter 218 Locke's Reason

Tingyuxuan

Deer sat opposite Locke. Deer lifted the teapot and added tea to Locke, and asked softly: "Locke, have you really decided? Don't think about it anymore?"

"Thank you, Deer, but I have decided to live up to your kindness." Locke replied with a smile.

"Oh~" Deer sighed and put down the teapot. "I admit that Ye Kaihuai still has certain potential, but there are many more powerful people than him. Why do you just want to surrender to him?"

"..." Locke smiled and said nothing.

"Can't you give me a reason?" Deer asked unwillingly.

"Are you a reason?" Locke said softly, his thoughts returning to ten years ago.

Fifteen years ago, the Hongchao Horse Thief Group of Fengyang Town

"Brother, brother, wait for me." The three-year-old girl chased the boy who was two years older than her in front of her.

"Yueyue, you are so slow. You'd better go back. When I come back, I'll tell you what happened when the leader returned to the city." The boy turned around and advised the little girl.

"No, I want to pick up the leader myself." The little girl said stubbornly.

"..." Looking at the little girl who was dissatisfied with her eyes, the boy squatted down helplessly, "Come on, at your current speed, we will definitely not be able to catch up."

"Hehe..." The little girl laughed and lay on the boy's back, hugged the boy's neck and said happily: "Brother, you are so nice to Yueyue."

"Take you down, little flatterer, I have agreed in advance. If you dare to pee on my back again, I will definitely beat your little butt into four pieces." The boy threatened with pampering.

"I hate it, stinky brother, I'll just say bad things about Yueyue." The little girl hugged the boy's neck in dissatisfaction and acted coquettishly.

"Stop making trouble, sit firmly, go." The boy ran forward quickly with the little girl on his back.

Soon, the two children arrived at the gate of the station. They were very smart and did not squeeze with the adults, but slowly climbed up the roof along the low wall. Not only did they have a good vision, but no one squeezed them. After a while, the thieves in the brigade came back. The head of the Red Tide Horse Thieves Group was the leader. She rode a red horse with her head raised in all directions and slowly walked through the gate. Behind were the subordinates who followed her out for business, and behind them were the gains of doing business. Looking at their majestic appearance, the boy and the girl were filled with excitement and envy, and they made up their mind that one day, they would become one of them.

Five years later, in the meeting hall of the Red Tide Horse Thief Group

"No, leader, don't drive my brother away." The little girl cried and begged the leader of the Red Tide Horse Thief Group, herself and her brother's biological mother.

"Don't mess around every Yueyue. There should be no men over ten years old in the group. This is the Hongchao's rule." The leader said expressionlessly.

"Yueyue, no, don't, brother leave me." The girl kept crying until a familiar call came from behind, "Yueyue..." The girl turned around and saw that her brother was ready to go and was looking at her with a smile.

"Brother..." The girl threw herself into her brother's arms and cried loudly.

The boy touched the girl's head and said softly: "Yueyue, don't be willful. My mother has no choice. Moreover, my brother was not driven away this time, but my brother wanted to go out to learn some skills. If someone wants to bully Yueyue in the future, my brother will be able to protect Yueyue."

"Then, can I still see my brother?" the girl sobbed and looked up to ask her brother.

"Yes, of course. After my brother settles down, I will write letters to Yueyue often. And if Yueyue misses me, I can come to see me when I grow up, but it's not possible now. Yueyue, is it better to compete with my brother?"

"What is the competition?" the girl asked curiously.

"Yeah~ I'm better than one of us. Next time we meet, if Yueyue wins, then brother will listen to Yueyue. If the brother wins, then Yueyue will listen to his brother, okay?"

"Okay, if Yueyue wins, Yueyue must let his brother accompany me in the future and not leave me." The girl said seriously.

"Okay, let's goug."

“Lagou.”

"Locke, Locke...what is wrong with you?" Deer's call made Locke, who was in deep thought, come to his senses. Looking at Deer who cared about him, Locke sighed, "Oh~ I wish that girl hadn't met that guy when she came to Anping."

"Ah? What did you say?" Deer said without understanding.

"Nothing. Deer, didn't you say that Ye Kaihuai wanted to meet me? Why haven't he come yet?" Locke asked in a different way.

"Oh...yes, I did tell him to meet him here, but isn't it time yet? Just wait patiently for a while. What? Locke, are you afraid that you will look down on you later when you meet your future lord?"

"Haha...how could it be?" Locke shook his head with a smile.

"That's fine, don't worry, that guy Ye Kaihuai is easy to get along with. Even if you don't have any skills, as long as you are not a bad person and have a good character, he will accept it."

"I'm as useless as you said?" Rock asked with a smile.

"No, I didn't say that. Although your personal strength is only ranked eighth in the academy, no one in the academy's application of cavalry tactics is your opponent. I can't understand. Feng Yang doesn't have many military horses, why do you have to go to Feng Yang?" After saying that, Dier was still very unwilling to give up and couldn't help asking again. Even if the guy in front of him made up a reason for himself.

"Haha... I don't want to accept your recruitment. If you join the eldest prince with you, it will make you depressed?" Locke chuckled and put down his teacup.

"Yes, yes. Do you know Locke? There are two people in the entire academy that I really hope to recruit. One is Lin Ruoxi, who is good at both personal bravery and administrative abilities. Unfortunately, she fell in love with Ye Kaihuai, and there was no hope of recruiting her. The other is you, the rider Locke Rant."

"Haha... I didn't expect that I had such high expectations in your eyes."

"Don't smile with me. Hurry up, even if it's to comfort my heart that was hurt by disappointment, you can make up at least one reason for me."

"Reason?" Locke thought for a while and said to Deer who was looking at him: "Actually, the reason why I want to go to Fengyang is very simple."

"What?"

"Because of my sister."

"What? Sister? Do you have a sister?" Deer was surprised. It was the first time I heard that Locke had a sister.

"What? Can't I have a sister?" Locke was dissatisfied with Deer's attitude.

"Oh, that's not. It's just the first time I heard you talk about your family, so I'm a little surprised." Deer also felt a little embarrassed for his loss of composure just now.

"I am in the wind." Locke said lightly. This time Deer didn't interrupt and sat there listening quietly. Locke continued: "I was raised by the Red Tide Horse Thieves Group. At that time, the Red Tide Horse Thieves Group had an unwritten rule that boys in the group should not be over ten years old. Once they reach age, they will be sent out of the Horse Thieves Group and go to other places to make a living."

"Then were you kicked out when you were ten?" Deer asked couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, even if my mother is the leader of the horse thieves, I was still driven out." Locke replied with a wry smile. Then a smile appeared on his face, "But when I left, my sister and I made an agreement that when we meet, she will compete with me. Whoever wins will win in the future will be the winner."

"Then your sister has come?"

"Well, the girl who came to me last year was my sister." Locke nodded and replied.

When he heard Locke admit it, Deer's eyes immediately widened and asked in disbelief: "The little beauty who came to find you last year was your sister?"

"Yes." Locke replied with a hint of pride.

"It doesn't look like you, you are big and thick, how could your sister be so dependent? Are you brothers and sisters?" Deer asked suspiciously. Locke was so angry that he stared at him, "Of course my sister and I are brothers and sisters."

"Really?" Deer was half-believing.

"Believe it or not, I tell you, don't think my sister looks like that and thinks that my sister is easy to bully. She is the leader of the Red Tide Horse Thieves Group, and she is not inferior to me in terms of skills or riding skills."

"Really? Locke, does your sister have a master?" Deer asked with his eyes lit up.

"What do you want to do?" Locke asked vigilantly.

"This, a beautiful lady, a gentleman is a good match." Deer said embarrassedly.

"...I advise you to die as soon as possible. Let me tell you the truth. My sister has a sweetheart, otherwise I would not refuse your recruitment and would be dedicated to returning Feng Yang."

"...Who is your sister's sweetheart? Do I know her?" Dier asked with emotion.

"Wright, where is Deer?" A question came from outside the door. Rock smiled and said to Deer, "Here you come."

Deer lamented, "Why is it him again?"

"...Dil, why do I see envy, jealousy and hatred in your eyes?" Ye Kaihuai, who had just entered the door, asked, looking at Deil, who was staring at his face and constantly.

"Hmph." Deer snorted coldly, turned his head and ignored Ye Kaihuai, muttering in a low voice: "Isn't it just that his face has become a little whiter, his eyes have become a little bigger, his eyebrows have become a little thicker, and his face has become a little rounder? What's so amazing?"

Ye Kaihuai: "..."

Seeing that Deer was having an affair with someone, Ye Kaihuai had to speak on his own to another person in the room: "Hello, my name is Ye Kaihuai, you are Locke Rant?"

“Yes, I am.”

"Welcome to join Feng Yang. Can you introduce yourself? I want to see where you are suitable for Feng Yang?" Ye Kaihuai went straight to the topic.

This is a very direct person. Locke commented on Ye Kaihuai in his heart. Then, Locke began to introduce himself to what he was good at, and he did not mention whose brother he was.

After a cup of tea, Locke's self-introduction was completed. Ye Kaihuai nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, I have already got to know Locke you in advance. So, Locke, can you tell me the reason why you must join Feng Yang?"

Locke was silent for a moment and said, "Because..."

"His sister is in the wind." Deer suddenly spoke.

"What? Sister? Locke, who is your sister? Do I know you?" Ye Kaihuai asked in surprise.

"My sister is called Xinyue Lanter. She was originally the leader of the Red Tide Horse Thief Group, but now she is the captain of the Red Moon Cavalry." Locke glared at the mouthful Deer and answered honestly.

"So you are the brother of Captain Crescent. It's not bad. My sister's riding skills are great, and being a brother must be even better." Ye Kaihuai said happily. Then he discussed with Locke with a little embarrassed and said, "Locke, discuss something with you about your sister."

"You said." Locke replied with some confusion. Could it be that Ye Kaihuai wanted to marry my sister because he wanted to win over me? If he really said that, I must take my sister away. Deer, who was standing beside him, was also excited and had already made up his mind. Once Locke stopped going to Fengyang, the chance of recruiting him would be great.

"That's right. Your sister has always been the captain of the Red Moon Cavalry. I don't want her to deprive her military power because of your arrival. I want you to form another army, and you will be the chief general. Of course, the war horses you acquire will be given priority to you in the future. Can you agree to this matter?"
