Hey!Long Jun, please wait a moment

audacious in the extreme!He almost killed Ao Xuan right under my nose!

Prince Yi's anger can be imagined, his eyebrows were cold, his fists were clenched, he wished he could grab that orc named Yanzi and beat him up immediately.

"You can't ask Brother Tu directly." Ao Xuan resolutely stopped, ahem, he also changed his address with his partner in private, and nervously reminded: "You promised not to act rashly just now."

Just now?What just now?

Ao Yi raised his eyebrows, decisively and selectively forgot "just now", and pointed out solemnly: "The other party has a premeditated plan to put you to death. If we don't find out as soon as possible, when we enter the dense forest, people from several tribes will be mixed together." Together, it is almost impossible to guard against, and we must not tolerate rape!"

uh~

Facing his indignant and righteous partner, Ao Xuan, who was not very eloquent by nature, opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to subtly comfort him, so he could only remind him truthfully:

"However, if Mao rashly asks Brother Tu and spreads the word, others will think that we suspect the Dragon Clan of the Holy Lake."

"I--"

Ao Yi unconsciously moved and dawdled for a few times, only to hear the dragon under him gasping, his whole body tensed and his eyes burning. He was embarrassed, and quickly rolled over, lying next to him. The bed was not big, and two tall orcs were close to each other. with.

After a while, Ao Yi sighed and said: "You are right, I was in a hurry. The holy lake is actually the same as our family. At the beginning, there were very few people. We grew up by recruiting free people from the sea, and the holy lake was selective. Accept the wandering orcs in the jungle. Alas, when there are too many people, management will be difficult, and the possibility of spies getting in will increase."

The implication is that Ao Yi has no doubts about the Dragon Clan of the Holy Lake—that is natural.Ao Yi firmly believes in his uncle's family, the two generations of the two families have a life-threatening friendship!

Sure enough.

Ao Xuan nodded secretly, and agreed: "I have thought about it carefully, and the other party should have nothing to do with Shenghu. Shenghu has always maintained neutrality. Except for your family, the relationship with both land and sea is similar."

"Well, my uncle is indifferent by nature, and when outsiders say he's an 'evil dragon', it's actually a lie—as long as he doesn't take the initiative to provoke him, uncle will ignore him at all."

Next to the end of the bed is the lattice window, opened halfway, the afternoon sun slanted in, cut into several beams of bright light, fine dust kept turning and flying, and lively voices came faintly from the opposite bank in the distance, calm and peaceful.

Ao Xuan turned his head and stared at the partner he had identified in this life, in a daze, as if the two of them had been lying on this bed for countless heat and cold.

It feels so good!

"... Who could it be? Our family has cooperated with the Raptor tribe for a long time, and we are closely related. As long as Xiao You is the patriarch, the relationship will not change." Ao Yi thought hard, whispered, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "Hey, what do you say?" Could it be the Beast Tribe? The South China Sea Dragon Clan always comes late, slowing down their itinerary. The last few times I saw them arguing a lot in Crocodile Valley, shouldn't they be falling out? Do it alone, and trade the dragon fruit you picked directly with our family or the Sea Clan Adventure Team?"

Prince Yi spoke faster and faster, exuding confidence, and urgingly elbowed the dragon beside him, widening his eyes expectantly: What do you think?

Ao Xuan quickly concentrated on thinking for a while, then shook his head frankly: "No. I heard that although there are many orc tribes on land, only two tribes of beastmen and raptors have the ability to enter the valley of crocodiles. The cooperation with the Raptor Tribe will not break down in the short term. But the first dragon fruit found in the ocean is the South China Sea Dragon Tribe. They have cooperated with the Zodiac Tribe for a longer time, and they will be parted sooner. There must be a reason why they can continue until now. .”

"……Too."

Ao Yi lay down again, closed his eyes and thought, his mind was spinning fast, trying to diverge his thinking, and continued to mutter in a low voice: "The other party is looking for trouble for you, but you are not from Sicily, so it is tantamount to trouble for me, it is tantamount to Trouble with the Sicilian Sea Dragon Clan—ha~ There are too many people who want to trouble our family! There are people in the sea and on land, who made the Sicilian Dragon Clan build late?"

Alas, my father said it earlier, so what kind of persimmons are always picky and soft.

But we are not soft, we are the "savage, tough and violent mob" in the eyes of the oceanic sea people!

Prince Yi's thoughts were like a runaway alpaca, running up the peak, rushing to the plain, and then jumping down the abyss, splashing dust that covered the sky.

"Are you sleepy?" Ao Xuan stretched out his hand to embrace the other party, the strength was very light and cherished, and he comforted him: "Don't think about it, get a good sleep first, I will watch over you and not go anywhere, when you recover from illness we will Let's discuss it slowly, okay?"

Only so.

"Okay, I really need to sleep for a while." Ao Yi yawned, and said vaguely: "Call me when Rongge and the others come back, don't forget, we made an appointment to talk at night, I can't be too 'sick' For a long time." Ao Yi turned over, and naturally put one leg across the opponent's body casually, as if he had done this action countless times, lying on his side comfortably, unable to hold on any longer, and quickly fell into a dark dream. The eyelids are slightly swollen, and there is indeed a lack of sleep.

"I won't forget, don't worry."

Ao Xuan didn't dare to move, and suffered a lot. He was very awake, didn't feel sleepy at all, but became more and more energetic, especially a certain part of his body——Ao Xuan kept adjusting his breathing, concentrating, and forced himself to focus on On the other party's slender and distinct eyelashes, he counted them one by one seriously, restraining himself from thinking about other things...

*****

The Sicilian sea tribe arrived at the holy lake at noon, and it was not until evening that Rong Ge, with the assistance of the holy lake guards, together with Ao Feng and Xiao You, discussed and initially divided the action team: the sea and the land teamed up one-on-one, and the two sides fought first. A greeting and a few simple chats are all for the benefit of their respective tribes, and everyone is polite, polite and alienated.

"... That's it!" Rong Ge waved his hand, and he was on the verge of emotional outbursts and madness at any time, because he was the most impatient to deal with tedious and meticulous things, but Ao Yi fell ill, so he could only come forward.Rong Ge announced loudly: "This is the initial arrangement. If anyone has any objections, just raise them as soon as possible, and we will try our best to find a solution! We will set off the next morning. Once we enter the dense forest, we cannot change it, so as not to affect the itinerary."

Xiao You then said: "Since we have decided to cooperate, please show enough sincerity, and don't let me catch those who are lazy and play tricks!"

The evening wind picked up gradually, blowing Rong Ge's fiery red short hair in a mess, causing him to pat back and forth irritably.

On the Dragon Clan side of the East China Sea, Ao Feng didn't have to do it himself, because his confidant Shisan was talented and everything was done properly.So Ao Feng sat and enjoyed the land and lake scenery, leisurely, this was his first time going ashore.

Rong Ge glanced behind him, and let out a disdainful "hum~" in his heart, thinking of a pampered and noble prince!

"...Let's do it like this!" After encouraging and warning, Xiao Youlian began to make a concluding statement: "Everyone go back to rest, recharge your energy, and strive to complete the task as soon as possible and go home! You are all warriors of the tribe! "

A large group of orcs yelled impassionedly, dispersed in an orderly manner, and went back to their respective residences.

"I'm exhausted!" Rong Ge jumped around a few times on the spot, kicked his legs and twisted his neck, and shouted, "I thought I could get it done all at once, but I didn't expect it to be so dark now."

Xiao You smiled, and calmly said: "Yeah, it looks simple, but it's not easy to do it well, especially this time there are so many people, if there is no allocation and arrangement, it will be a mess when we enter the forest. Ao and I Yi used to spend so much time forming a team."

hello what do you mean?

Rong Ge raised his chin, squinted his eyes and didn't speak - he didn't know when, he always felt that Xiao You was always binding himself with Ao Yi...

Simply shameless!

"Hahaha~ It's our first time to go ashore, so we don't know anything about land and dense forests, so I have to trouble you to mention more." Ao Feng said haha ​​at the right time, this afternoon is not the first time, he is already familiar with it.

Xiao You smiled politely: "Prince Feng, you are being polite. You and I are partners who share benefits equally, and we should take care of each other. I dare not take care of each other."

Now that the conversation started, the two leaders couldn't help but smile politely and compliment each other a few words, and they smoothly walked away the unbearable Rong Ge beside him.

"Tch, I'm too lazy to talk to you, just talking nonsense." Rong Ge muttered, striding towards the wooden house in the distance.

"Hey, Rong Ge, Rong Ge, wait for me!" Ao Feng smiled apologetically at the patriarch of the Raptor Tribe, and hurriedly chased after Rong Ge, because he also lived in the main house-the pampered prince of the East China Sea, how could he want to crowd the group What about a stone house or a wooden house?After Ao Feng had finished his good words, Rong Ge got impatient with being pestered, so he could only agree to find a way to find a bed for the other party.

Rong Ge didn't turn his head back: "What's the hurry? It's still early, you two continue talking." Let's see how many insincere lies you can tell!

Ao Feng followed suit, changed the subject with a wry smile, "I wonder if Yi'er is better, let's go back and see him."

"I'll go too." Xiao You was unceremonious and spontaneously followed. Fengshen was handsome and imposing, and he raised his hands confidently and frankly. He said worriedly: "Why is Ao Yi sick? I went to see him in a hurry at noon and found that his face was very pale. Oops, is there a lot of things going on in your family recently?" This question was obviously asked by Rong Ge.

Rong Ge walked quickly, as if in a competition, and said with extreme forbearance, "Fortunately, the priest said that he suffered from the wind and cold, and he will be fine after a day or two."

— of crabs!It's all Ao Xuan's fault!If it wasn't for him always messing around with Ao Yi on the island, how could Ao Yi get sick?

Rong Ge felt that he had had enough, and was always on the verge of blowing up.

"Heh~" Xiao You chuckled, provoking Rong Ge to walk faster, his footsteps were heavy, Xiao You comforted: "Don't worry, everything has been arranged, and when they enter the forest, once they get evidence, they will Do not try to leave Sicily alive!"

Rong Ge suddenly stopped and turned his head, frowned, and warned disapprovingly: "Don't mess around. Even if they seized the evidence, they will still escort it back to our house and hand it over to the Dragon King and Dragon Queen for interrogation. You can't make up your own mind."

Xiao You was taken aback, slightly surprised, and said meaningfully: "I thought you wanted him to disappear immediately, but I didn't expect you to intercede for him."

"What pleading?!" Rong Ge finally exploded, poking his neck and angrily said: "Who pleaded for him? I was just following orders, and so were you, and you, Ao Feng. Xiao You, this is our family business , the Dragon King trusts you to let you secretly assist me and Ao Feng, don't mess around!"

The last ray of orange-red sunset disappeared on the opposite mountain, and the evening wind became cooler.

"Haha, what are you thinking about?" Xiao You walked forward on his own, with his back straight, "I was just joking, let's go and see Ao Yi together."

Rong Ge sniffed and followed in a muffled voice.

"If Ao Xuan really has ulterior motives, then my younger brother will be hurt the most." Ao Feng said with heavy emotion, "But there is no way, we can't let him sink deeper and deeper."

Three tall orcs walked along the shore of the lake. They were silent for the second half, and the reflections flying by the lake were distorted and disordered.

*****

"I'm back!" Rong Ge shouted as soon as he jumped onto the terrace of the wooden house, just like returning to his own home.

"Come in, I'll wait for you." Qingzhe's laughing voice came from inside.

Rong Ge pushed open the door, glanced at it, and swaggered in, not in a bad mood: because he didn't see Ao Xuan.

"Come over and eat. The soup is just stewed. You can cook whatever you want." Xitu and Ao Yi were sitting next to each other. Ao Yi had slept and seemed to be in better condition, and was cooking a bunch of shrimp.

Rong Ge sat next to Ao Yi unceremoniously, leaned on him as if he had no bones, and moaned: "I'm exhausted, I'm tired and hungry."

Xitu teased: "What? Does Rong Gege still need to be fed and eat meat soup? Sit up straight and cook by yourself! Xiao You, Ao Feng, you two are welcome. Here, there are fruits on the table over there. Try it." Try it."

"Thank you for your hard work." Ao Yi felt guilty, and hurriedly stuffed all the food to Rong Ge, and comforted him: "Eat quickly, I'm ready, and we will work together from now on."

Rong Ge sat up straight and proudly said: "If you don't work hard, that kind of work is nothing!"

"Ahem~" Ao Feng was on the opposite side, buried in the barbecue, holding back a smile.In fact, he wanted to live at the bottom of the lake at first, but then he thought about it: what are you afraid of?My strange uncle is actually quite a nice person. When we met at his uncle’s house before, he never felt sorry for me. Now that I’ve come to his house, instead of avoiding it, it’s better to live in the main house openly.

Qingzhe is extremely busy, walking with wind, smiling all over his face, and greeting enthusiastically. He likes to see a bunch of obedient, well-behaved and capable nephews at home... Cough, even if the newcomer is his partner and another... The eldest son of a half-brother...but what does it matter?The sea is tolerant to all rivers, and tolerance is great. Today's Shenghu people are a big family of diverse and multi-ethnic integration!

How come there are so many "can't think about it" and "can't accept it".

"Come, come, eat some fruit, soothe your tiredness, this is delicious." Qing Zhe went over with a fruit plate, very busy, Ao Feng and Xiao You hurriedly got up to thank him and took it.But Qingzhe was so busy, he suddenly slapped his forehead, turned his head and asked his eldest son:

"Hey, where's Kang'er? Why don't you go home after dark? That kid is getting wilder."

Xitu explained with a smile: "I asked him to patrol the shore, so that he wouldn't be tossing around all day."

"Oh~" Qingzhe nodded, he had always been trusting and reassuring to his eldest son, and told him, "It's time for him to help the family. Adult orcs can't just sit around all day, females won't like it."

At this time Xiao You raised his head and asked Ao Yi curiously: "Where is Ao Xuan? Didn't he say he would take good care of you?"

Rong Ge Aofeng pricked up his ears at the same time.

"He, he followed Kang'er to patrol the shore." Xitu gnawed the fruit "click, click" and said, "My younger brother is still a cub, and he specially told the east bank of Aoxuan Lake that there is a luminous tree. Ao Xuan said he hadn't seen it before, so he desperately wanted to drag people to see what was new, alas~"

Qingzhe smiled from ear to ear, and said fondly: "No way, let him go, he should be back soon."

"Brother Wang, that tree really shines, it's very interesting!" Ao Yi emphasized with a smile, "When I was very young, Brother Tu took me to see it—"

"You were dumbfounded at the time, hugging the tree trunk and refusing to go home. I was so anxious that I finally called Uncle Ji to persuade you." Xitu laughed reminiscently and rubbed his cousin's shoulder vigorously.

Talking and laughing, Ao Kang's young and cheerful voice came from the door:

"...I didn't lie to you, did I?"

"Yeah." Ao Xuan was quite amazed, "There are also many animals and plants that glow at night in the sea, but this is the first time I have seen a tree that can glow on land, and it feels very interesting."

"Hahaha~ I know why! That's because there are too many glowing things in the sea, but there are very few on land. In the dark night, a glowing tree suddenly appeared. It's hard to think it's not special!"

Ao Kang pushed the door open and came in, followed by Ao Xuan, their boots and robe corners were wet with dew.

"I'm back!" Ao Kang yelled happily, and reported solemnly: "Brother, everything on the lakeside is normal, I'll walk it myself."

Xitu nodded in relief, and said gently: "That's good. Sit down and have dinner, and Ao Xuan is going to sit down soon too. I'm sorry to trouble you, and I'll walk around too."

"I wanted to open my eyes, and it's not in vain to come to Sicily again." Ao Xuan said with a smile. He glanced and found that there were people sitting on both sides of Ao Yi: Brother Tu on the left, no problem, that's Good big brother; on the right is Rong Ge, um... no problem, that's my partner's younger brother.

Ao Xuan silently enlightened himself a few words, went to sit next to Xitu.During the period, he quietly returned a questioning look to Ao Yi:

how about it?

Gained.

"Brother, why isn't father here?" Ao Kang sat down and ate a few mouthfuls, and asked in doubt.

"He's at the bottom of the lake, discussing something with Uncle Bin." Xitu replied.

"Oh~" Ao Kang buried his head and continued to eat, and looked up after a few mouthfuls, angrily and disappointedly told:

"By the way! Brother, he left that Yanzi without saying goodbye!"

Ao Yi involuntarily held his breath and listened intently.

"Farewell without saying goodbye?" Xitu was a little surprised, wondering: "But I just talked to him two days ago, and he promised to stay."

"That's right!" Ao Kang shook his head again and again, unable to understand, and a little contemptuous, "He didn't keep his word. Even if he wants to leave, he should at least say hello, right? He actually sneaked away while our guards weren't paying attention. Already!"

Ao Yi took a deep breath and absently drank the broth.

Xitu was obviously disappointed, and smiled reluctantly: "Forget it, people have their own ambitions, so you can't force them to stay. The point is, didn't the guards see him leave? This is a big problem. How did you deal with it?" Xitu body Leaning forward, he looked at his brother expectantly.

Ao Kang quickly put down the food, and replied with his head upright: "Brother, don't worry, I also felt that something was wrong at the time. I checked it carefully several times, and then found a hidden gap in the northwest corner. I have readjusted the sentry guard. , It’s blocked.” After finishing speaking, he quietly glanced at Ao Xuan gratefully:

In fact, he found the gap, told me secretly, and said that it was inconvenient to meddle in the family affairs of Shenghu, and asked me to keep it secret.Heck, he's actually quite a dragon.

"Very good!" Xitu praised him greatly, and praised his younger brother without hesitation. Of course, Qingzhe was also happy. He hoped that the family would live in harmony and rely on each other to support each other.

...the fact turned out to be like this?

It seems that the other party really planned it long ago, and even gained Tu Ge's trust in advance, sneaked into the holy lake, and finally died silently somewhere in the dense forest.

Ao Yi fell into deep thought, regretting the clues that were cut off.He didn't ask any more questions, because he knew that Ao Xuan must have found out everything, and he would know it after discussing it when he went back.

After dinner, Qingzhe Xitu thoughtfully washed up and went back to the house to rest, leaving the living room for Ao Yi and the others to discuss matters.

Ao Kang did not evade, because he would also go to Crocodile Valley as part of his adult training, with the goal of Zhilian.

What I said at the beginning was all scene talk, which was irrelevant—even if the ugly words were to be said first, there were usually a few good words to cover them up.

"...Yes." Xiao You nodded clearly, and said politely: "Our tribe has cooperated with the Sicilian Sea Dragon Clan for a long time, and we have a good understanding, but this is the first time with the East China Sea Dragon Clan, and some things still need to be made clear. What I mean Yes: Both sides restrain their subordinates and successfully complete the task. Everyone can go home early, right? Also, we are land orcs, and we are more familiar with the dense forest than you. When something happens, I hope you can cooperate well."

Ao Feng kept a decent smile, and after listening carefully, Guangming said frankly: "I understand the meaning of Patriarch Xiao. Don't worry, I will restrain my subordinates and hope to cooperate happily with your department—you are a good friend Yi'er admires." Brother, I trust Yi'er's vision."

hello~

Rong Ge curled his lips, wondering why Ao Yi is involved?

Several people discussed in the living room until late at night, and the talk went smoothly.

However, when the bedroom was finally allocated, a dispute occurred:

Rong Ge crossed his arms and said as a matter of course: "Is there a need to ask? Of course it's me and Ao Yi, Xiao You and Kangdi crowded together, Ao Feng and Ao Xuan are in the same room!"
