11 Emperor Song

CHAPTER 11 EMPEROR SONG Drake struggled as a Raven Guard held him under one arm. "It is no use," Bo whispered. "They are much stronger than we are. We cannot fight them. And they are taking us to Emperor Song, which is what we want." "But we need Shu!" Drake whispered back. "Do you think our dragons escaped those other guards?"

皇帝宋·德雷克被一名渡鸦守卫夹在一只胳膊下挣扎。 “没用的，”波低声说。 “他们比我们强大得多。 我们打不过他们。他们带我们去见宋帝，这正是我们想要的。” “但是我们需要舒！”德雷克小声回答。 “你认为我们的龙逃脱了其他守卫的魔掌吗？”

Bo frowned. "They may have been captured. We will have to face the emperor without them." Drake looked down at his Dragon Stone. Worm, give me a message. But the stone didn't glow. Then Drake thought of something. Emperor Song might see our pieces of the stone! What if he tries to take them? "Quick!" he whispered to Bo. "Hide your Dragon Stone." The Raven Guards carried Drake and Bo through a large hall. Gleaming black and red stones formed a pattern on the floor. Large black columns lined the walls. A red dragon design swirled down the columns.

波皱起了眉头。“他们可能已经被抓获了。 我们将不得不在没有他们的情况下面对皇帝。” 德雷克低头看着他的龙石。 虫子，给我捎个信。但是石头没有发光。 然后德雷克想到了一件事。 宋帝可能会看到我们的石头碎片！如果他想拿走呢？ “快！”他小声对波说。 “把你的龙石藏起来。”渡鸦守卫抬着德雷克和波穿过一个大厅。 黑色和红色的石头闪闪发光，在地板上形成了一个图案。 墙上排列着黑色的大柱子。 一条红龙图案在柱子上盘旋而下。

The guards took them to a large room. A dozen more Raven Guards waited for them there. A man in a red robe sat on a white throne. He had a long mustache, a pointy black beard, and wore a black hat. A thin smile spread across his face when he saw Bo. It reminded Drake of a field snake's smile.

卫兵把他们带到一个大房间。 还有十几个渡鸦守卫在那里等着他们。 一个穿红袍的人坐在白色的宝座上。 他留着长长的小胡子，尖的黑胡子，戴着一顶黑帽子。 他看到波时，脸上露出一丝微笑。 这让德雷克想起了野地蛇的微笑。

Bo whispered to Drake. "See the evil in his eyes? This is not the emperor I remember." The guards let go of the boys and pushed them toward the emperor.

波低声对德雷克说。“看到他眼中的邪恶了吗？” 这不是我记忆中的那个皇帝。” 卫兵放开孩子们，把他们推向皇帝。

"Bo," Emperor Song said, "I am surprised that you came so quickly. Where is my Dragon Stone?" Bo looked at Drake, panicked. They had been counting on Shu to help them deal with the emperor. Without Shu, they had no plan. And without Worm, there was no way out. "Well Bo?" the emperor asked. "I am waiting." "I... I don't have the Dragon Stone, Emperor," Bo said in a small voice.

宋帝说：“博，你来得这么快，我很惊讶。 我的龙石在哪里？”波看着德雷克，惊慌失措。 他们一直指望蜀来帮助他们对付皇帝。 没有舒，他们就没有计划。 没有虫子，就没有出路。 “怎么样，波？”皇帝问。 “我在等。”“我……皇上，我没有龙石。”波轻声说。

A dark look came over the emperor's face. "No Dragon Stone?! Then you have failed me!" "It's not Bo's fault!" Drake blurted out. Emperor Song looked down at Drake. "A child dares to speak to the emperor this way?! Take them to the prison! These boys shall join Bo's family." Drake squeezed his eyes shut Worm? Worm? Can you hear me, Worm? We need help! "Take them away!" Emperor Song yelled. Then the doors burst open.

皇帝的脸上露出了阴沉的神色。 “没有龙石？！”那你让我失望了！”“这不是波的错！”德雷克脱口而出。 宋帝低头看着德雷克。 “一个小孩子竟敢这样对皇帝说话？！”带他们去监狱！这些男孩将加入波的家庭。” 德雷克紧紧闭上眼睛虫子？ 蠕虫?你能听到我说话吗，虫子？ 我们需要帮助！“把他们带走！”宋帝大叫。 然后门突然开了。
