Hey!Long Jun, please wait a moment

The sun was setting towards the west, and dusk was gradually rising. In front of the sick bed of the old Dragon King, two grandsons were sitting side by side.

"...I still remember that time when I was a child, I was very sick, I was dying, I fell asleep all day, and occasionally woke up, and I always saw my grandparents and parents crying around me, or scolding the priest." Ao Feng raised his head, eyes There was a light of nostalgia and innocence in his eyes, and he murmured: "Then when I woke up one time, my grandmother told me happily that I was saved and my uncle's family from Sicily came back."

"Hey, it's a pity that I don't remember anything." Ao Yi regretted.

Ao Feng turned to look at his cousin: "You couldn't speak at that time. Uncle and Uncle Ji came to see me, but they didn't bring you. I heard that you were crying because you were not familiar with the environment because you came back for the first time, and you were also sick. Ji Uncle gave me the preserved medicine secret prepared by the land priest, and cured my illness by mistake, but you guys went home soon, and I haven’t seen you all this time.”

"I've heard my parents mention those things, and they sound very interesting." Ao Yi paused, and said with some embarrassment: "Instead, everyone gave me a lot of presents. Well, that impression was deep."

The two brothers looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.

"When I was young," Ao Feng continued to sigh, "After I went to Sicily once, I hoped that my grandfather would take me there again day and night. It was much more fun there than at home!"

Ao Yi turned his head, stretched out his hand to touch his grandfather, and made sure that the other person was breathing and heartbeating, so he withdrew his hand at ease, and said with emotion: "Similarly, I always hope that my grandfather will bring you to Sicily. I remember very clearly that when I was young, my parents were very busy: I was busy building the Dragon Palace, recruiting free people into the clan, forming Dragon Guards, etc. At the beginning, Brother Tu occasionally took me out to sea to play, and then Rong Ge was born, and then you and Xiao You, and then Kangdi... hey , I had so much fun when I was a kid!"

Ao Feng nodded in agreement, and said dejectedly: "Unfortunately, when I grew up a little bit, my grandfather became old. He was in poor health and could no longer take me to Sicily, but my grandmother and my father never agreed."

"It's okay, we have grown up, as long as you come, our family will not be unhappy." Ao Yi comforted.

After these words, the two were silent for a while.

"Good brother, listen to me. After you return to Sicily this time, don't come back again." Ao Feng commanded bitterly, with a trembling voice: "I know my grandfather's illness very well. He, he can't hold it anymore. It's only been a few days. I will find a way to send you away."

Ao Yi shook his head, and reminded solemnly: "Brother Wang, don't be impulsive. Although you are the only son, uncle will not do anything to you, but everything is possible. The Xihai Dragon Clan has ulterior motives. Uncle... I am afraid that he may not be able to control you. Don't be afraid." Careless."

"Alas!" Ao Feng sighed with hatred, and said angrily: "Everyone can see it, except my parents and grandmother! Frankly speaking, I can understand my grandmother and queen mother. After all, they were born in Xihai, but how did the father What's going on? I quarreled with him countless times because of those bad things, but he just can't listen!"

The authorities are obsessed, and they would rather trust relatives than brothers.

Ao Yi was speechless, and patted his elder brother on the shoulder to show comfort. He understood the pain of the other party very well: father and son politics/opinions are always at odds, and watching his father do something stupid, but powerless to stop it, is enough to make people uncomfortable.

The two brothers were under house arrest and could not escape for the time being, so they could only talk to relieve their anxiety.

But the closed door suddenly opened slowly, and the voice of the old dragon queen came from outside the door:

"...It should be dragged out and executed! A bunch of waste, such a small illness can't be treated well!"

"Calm down your anger, the illness has been brought under control, and the two princes are taking care of her every step of the way."

Shi Shiran, the queen of the old dragon, came in with a proud attitude. It had been so long since her husband fell ill, and she finally appeared—but when she came in, her eyes were not on her partner on the sick bed, but fixedly on Ao Yi .

"Grandmother, you're here." Ao Feng took a deep breath, and still stepped forward to say hello. He was taught very well by the old Dragon King. He is gentle, courteous, personable and dignified. A noble prince, his personality is completely unlike his father.

"Hmm." The old dragon queen hastily agreed, without blinking his eyes, and locked on to Ao Yi.

Ao Yi has sword eyebrows and star-eyed eyes, is handsome and handsome, with a straight and imposing figure, and looks almost identical to his father - but the problem is that Ao Bai and Ao Han don't look the same, and the most important thing is: when Ao Bai When he was still in the East China Sea, he was disliked and neglected because he couldn't change his form. When he finally managed to change his form, he had already settled in remote Sicily!

Therefore, the old dragon queen is very strange to the young son's family... and lacks affection.

How can it compare to the eldest son who gets along day and night and is pampered like pearls and treasures?

"Yi'er, don't you know how to salute when you see grandma?" The old dragon queen asked majestically, and sarcastically said: "That mermaid really taught good manners!"

"That mermaid" naturally refers to Ji Mo. She was ridiculed because of her intangible young son, and became angry from embarrassment. She hurriedly sent him to marry a family away from the East China Sea and go to remote Sicily. That's why she just stuffed a mermaid. Give it to him—who would have thought that that unpromising thing would actually be obedient and become a couple with Ji Mo!She still pampers and loves her partner everywhere, really, really... Whenever the old dragon empress thinks that a good prince is married to a mermaid, she will be stunned in her heart:

I don't know if she is angry with herself, with her wife, with Ji Mo, or with her young son... In short, she is just unhappy!

"You misunderstood." Ao Yi calmly denied, and did not make any excuses, because in his mind, Ji Mo was the most wise, reasonable, amiable and respectable, and no one could shake him.Ao Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, and said slowly:

"Just now I was chatting with Brother Wang about my childhood. I told him that when my parents took me back to the East China Sea for the first time, the elders gave me a gold silk pocket for body protection, but I felt that it hindered my swimming. Every time my parents put it on, I always take it off quietly,

The old dragon queen proudly closed her eyes, thinking: Sure enough, she has been rebellious since she was a child!He even secretly urged Xiaofeng to send a letter telling the sea deer to take away all the Sicilian sea dragon guards!

"...My parents had nothing to do with me, so they put away the golden silk bag." Ao Yi talked eloquently, "Later, Kangdi was born,"

The old dragon queen's eyes lit up uncontrollably, then quickly suppressed it and listened intently.

"Kangdi lives in Shenghu. He is also very lively and active, and he has not been in good health since he was a child. Dad gave him a gold silk bag. Kangdy kept wearing it until he couldn't wear it anymore."

"It's not a rare thing. There are a bunch of them in the storeroom, of all sizes." The old dragon queen finally had a smile in his eyes.In her heart, Ao Kang is also a grandson, and he is a poor little boy who lives in a land lake with poor health. Although he has never met him, his kindness is born.

Ao Yi stared at the other party's expression closely, and continued: "Later, Rarity was born, and the gold silk pocket was sent back for him to wear. Rarity is very good, so you can wear it as you please."

"Oh, really?" The smile in the eyes of the old dragon disappeared. She had a better impression of Ao Rui than Ao Yi, because Ao Rui was introverted and quiet, and he looked very cute when he went back to Donghai with his family to visit relatives last time—but That's it, I've only met a few times, and the old dragon empress doesn't have any feelings for him.

"En." Ao Yi replied indifferently, his eyes became completely cold, and he understood completely: it seems that grandma really hates his family to the bone, and she is no exception to the naive and ignorant Rarity!

"You—" the old dragon opened his mouth, and suddenly found that Ao Yi's eyes were very cold, maybe it was the golden silk pocket mentioned repeatedly just now, which aroused her heart as an elder, and she intended to question Rong Ge's whereabouts , but finally changed his mind temporarily, and ordered with a blank face:

"Xiaofeng, come with me, I have something important to ask you." Then she glanced at Ao Yi, and when she looked into the other's eyes without respect, she strengthened her determination again, and said:

"You can just wait here, it's not in vain that the old man loves you so much!"

Then he left with a flick of his sleeves, and Ao Feng was taken away forcefully at the same time, extremely annoyed, but he could only restrain himself and gave his cousin a comforting look.

Ao Yi smiled: "Brother Wang, don't worry, my grandfather will take care of me."

With a sound of "click~", the door was tightly closed again, only Ao Yi was with the old Dragon King inside, and the priests were waiting next door.

Too quiet.

But Ao Yi's heart couldn't calm down at all. He wandered back and forth in circles: Thinking about Rong Ge and his party who didn't know if they were out of danger, thinking about his parents and younger brothers who didn't know if they were safe, and thinking about his hometown Sicily...

Ahhh! ! !

Ao Yi shouted silently, like a trapped animal.

He poked his head quietly, looked out from the lighting hole in the room, and unsurprisingly saw the strict guards on the inner three floors and the outer three floors.

Ahhh! ! !

Ao Yi continued to circle around anxiously, time passed slowly, and the night gradually deepened, but he didn't feel sleepy at all, and he was full of concern for the safety of his relatives and friends.

Suddenly, there was a very weak sound from the sick bed: "Ouch~" The old dragon king began to move slightly, his eyes opened a crack, and he was extremely weak.

grandfather? !

Ao Yi rushed over quickly, knelt down in front of the bed, looked closer and opened his eyes wide, and asked in a low voice, "Are you awake? How do you feel?"

The old Dragon King's eyeballs slowly rolled around, closed again, and when he opened it again, he said distressedly: "I have wronged you, Yi'er, I should have driven you back to Sicily a long time ago, just a mistake, I always think about your uncle. Incompetent and confused, let you help me for a few more days to stabilize Donghai... I am sorry for you."

"Don't say that!" Ao Yi hurriedly comforted, "I finally came back to see you, why are you rushing me back?"

The old Dragon King tried his best to smile, he was scheming and knew without asking: "There are many people around outside, right? Where's Xiaofeng? Where's your people? Are Ruirui and the others here?"

Ao Yi replied one by one: "Yes, brother Wang was called away by his grandmother in the evening, my people? I don't know where they are. My parents and Ruarui probably haven't arrived yet."

"That's right, otherwise Han'er will... take you out to pick up people. Good grandson, don't blame your brother Wang, he is very difficult, he has no real power at hand, and can't do much." The old dragon king gently persuaded, under the soft pearl light, he His energy recovered a bit, and he didn't care about getting angry, and began to think of a way to remedy it: "It doesn't matter where your people go, as long as they are outside, you are safe."

"Our family has never blamed Brother Wang, he has done his best." Ao Yi shook his head indifferently, and said with full expectation: "I really hope that Rong Ge and the others can meet the rest of my family, I don't care, I will stay with you .”

The old Dragon King smiled dotingly and scolded: "I don't need you to accompany me. I am mischievous all day long, and the quarrels give me a headache."

"Where is it? How old am I!" Ao Yi laughed.

"Okay, go back to Sicily." The old dragon king urged unwaveringly, "I believe that your father will not act hastily, this is also his home, and he can't be trapped. But you, dear grandson, you have to think about it." Way to leave."

Ao Yiqiang's pretended smile couldn't hold back anymore, and he shouted sourly: "Grandfather, I am willing to stay and take care of you. As long as my parents take Rong Ge and the others back, uncle will not dare to do anything to me."

Leaving at this time is undoubtedly a farewell.

But the old Dragon King insisted abnormally: "No, you don't understand, your uncle is completely confused, it's dangerous—"

At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open again, and Ao Yi quickly turned his head:

It was a serious and responsible priest who came to check on the sick in the middle of the night.

At this moment, the old dragon king quickly closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep, and at the same time squeezed Ao Yi's arm quietly.

"Prince Yi, why don't you rest?" Priest Shi was embarrassed as soon as he asked, because there was only one bed in the room, could it be that the dignified prince was asked to sleep on the floor?

Ao Yi was calm and composed: "I can't sleep, why did Mr. Shi come here?"

"I'm worried, let's take a look at the situation." The priest came in alone. He was an old man, and he was a familiar face. The guards allowed him to let him go.

"You're too troublesome." Ao Yi politely gave up his position and stood in front. Although he didn't know what his grandfather wanted to do, he would try his best to cooperate with him.

Priest Shi sat down, and just reached out his hand to feel the pulse of the old dragon king, when he suddenly saw the other person open his eyes, he was startled, and when he was about to shout out, Ao Yi asked worriedly and loudly:

"Why isn't grandfather awake yet? Is it the same when he fainted before? It's been too long."

"...Uh, this, not necessarily." The priest Shi was shocked, but for some reason, he continued: "The old master's illness is particularly dangerous this time, and he must stay in bed."

The old Dragon King opened his eyes, and slowly began to discuss with the priest who had been dealing with him for half his life.

Ao Yi continued to ask: "But my grandfather fell into a coma in the afternoon. He hasn't eaten anything until now. How can his body bear it? I think it's very wrong."

"Oh, what Prince Yi said is very true, but please let me take a closer look at the condition." Priest Shi did not look back, and sang with Ao Yi in a serious manner.

"Okay, you should hurry up and think of a way." Ao Yi anxiously urged, he didn't turn his head, but he also felt the guard behind him probing his head and observing.

Ao Yi blocked it, and what he saw was the back of the priest, and he couldn't "hear" what the other party and his grandfather were communicating at all, and it was useless to worry.

After a long while, Ao Yi saw Priest Shi nodded his head slightly, and then said in embarrassment: "Prince Yi, the situation of the old master is still very unstable, mainly because he got angry during the day, which is very unfavorable to his condition. .”

"Then what should I do?" Ao Yi's worry was real. Like the descendants of ordinary people, he could only plead with the priest: "We can't let him be in a coma all the time. If the medicine hasn't taken in, he's still hungry, and he's not sick. Will starve!"

"This, this, I..." The old priest was forced to be helpless, squeaked for a long time, because the patient was the old dragon king, it was completely reasonable for him to behave like this, Ao Yi was so anxious that he even got angry and urged for a long time, he finally " Reluctantly," replied:

"Prince Yi, don't embarrass me. I, my ability is limited. Do you think this is okay? I will go to the next door to discuss with my colleagues to see if I can use a gentle method to wake up the old master and let him take medicine and food."

Ao Yi pretended to be impatient and waved his hand: "If you have a way, why don't you go? Hidden, what are you afraid of? If the sky falls, I will support it!"

"Yes, yes." The old priest went out with a frown, looking extremely reluctant but he dared not refuse. Under Long Weilue's sympathetic gaze, he sighed and went back to the next room.

*****

The door closed again, Ao Yi hurried back to the bed, and said softly:

"All right."

The old dragon king opened his eyes according to his words, looked at his grandson with a sly smile, and then said: "I have been friends with Lao Shi for most of my life. He promised to help me and is willing to help you. You should be smarter later." , play by ear, take advantage of the chaos and go out of the palace."

"Grandfather, I—" Ao Yi knelt beside the bed, smiling very ugly.

"Be obedient, don't... take chances, if something happens to you, I will become a real sinner!" The old dragon king said with a straight face and kindness: "You can bring people to help in time this time, saving the emergency in Donghai. , and taking care of me for so many days, I am already satisfied."

"I really want to take you back to Sicily." Ao Yi said with a sob, he was particularly worried about his relatives and friends whose situation was unknown outside, but looking at his grandfather who was struggling to breathe without being able to speak a few words, he had a strong premonition: this parting is a farewell forever !So his knee seemed to weigh a thousand catties, and he couldn't move it.

The old Dragon King's face was astonishingly decayed, his lips were white, his face was black, and he said openly: "Okay, wait, when things are over here, I'll go to Sicily, bask in the sun on the island or something. By the way, is that old turtle still there? It's interesting to chat with him."

"Uncle Hu is still there, it's just that he is hibernating in the cold season."

At this time, the voice of the priest came from outside, and Ao Yi's face suddenly became mournful. He kowtowed three times to the old dragon king, straightened up, and several priests came in with his disciples.

It's the middle of the night, when the tiredness is the strongest, there is no moonlight tonight, the night is dark and thick, the sea water seems to have stopped flowing, it is stuffy and hot, and the stagnation makes people irritated.

Is a storm coming?

"Why so slow?" Ao Yi feigned anger and asked, and lost his temper with a tiger's face, "Why don't you hurry up and have a look, discuss for a long time, what is the result of the discussion?"

A group of priests were trembling, and the young apprentices holding the medicine box were even more arrogant, bowing their heads and shrinking their shoulders to pretend to be wooden figures. Several of them were almost the same as Ao Yi, and they were all dressed in white robes.

You dodged me for a while, and the priests finally pushed Mr. Shi out. The priest stepped forward bravely, and said with a bitter face, "Prince Yi, after we discussed it, we also feel that it is not good for the old master to fall asleep like this."

"So what? Have you figured out a way?" Ao Yi's half body was covered by the gauze curtain, his voice was loud and powerful.

The priest waved back, and his little apprentice hurried forward and disappeared behind the thick veil curtain.

"Prince Yi, please take a look. This small piece is very precious orchid whale incense. It refreshes the mind. This method is the gentlest way to wake people up. What do you think?"

Ao Yi was angry and helpless: "You are priests, what's the use of asking me? Try it!"

The guards at the gate watched for a while, relieved, and collectively decided that it was just as the Dragon King expected: Prince Yi is in a hurry, and will definitely toss the priest to wake up his grandfather as soon as possible to get help, let him go, watch him!

The bottom of the sea is getting hotter and hotter, and the several layers of gauze curtains are motionless, as if they are still, a storm is brewing.

It was almost dawn, and the guards worked hard all day and night without daring to close their eyes, but their flesh and blood always needed rest, so they began to yawn, shrivel up, forcefully open their eyes, and brace themselves to listen to the fierce dispute inside:

"Why is this precious incense useless?" Ao Yi asked loudly.

The priests all comforted: "You wait a moment, you have to wait for a while."

"How long will it take? Will this method work?" Ao Yi's voice sounded irritable and annoyed.

The priests squeaked: "Uh, this... just wait patiently... don't worry..."

"Can I be in a hurry?"

"Wait a little longer, wait a little longer."

……

Ao Yi kept urging, and the priests were so anxious that they took seven or eight apprentices back to the next room several times to get medicine, and then rushed back to offer advice and medicine, and there was a mess inside. After Ao Yi questioned this and urged that, the voice It is especially clear in the secluded Yang'an Temple, and it sounds like it is about to collapse.

——Sigh, poor Prince Yi, I don't know if I can return to Sicily alive, and I came to rescue him with good intentions, but he was avenged, this world, this family love...

The guards are all sympathetic, but they belong to the East China Sea, and they are soft-spoken, so they can only obey orders.

"Boom~" There was a loud sound, the sound of broken equipment came from inside, and then Ao Yi's disappointed roar:

"Get out! Get out! There are so many priests and none of them can help. If you can't think of a way tomorrow, you have to be careful. Get out, alas!"

"Yes."

"Calm your anger."

"We'll go back and figure it out right away."

Seven or eight priests, with their apprentices, were disgraced by the training, and they were driven out in a swarm. They all went back to the next room with fear and sighs on their faces.

The guards watched the poor punching bags leave sympathetically.

The door was slowly closed again.

*****

"Thank you for your help. There is no repayment for great kindness. Please rest assured, I will definitely come back as soon as possible to deal with the aftermath!" This is Ao Yi's promise, and he cannot just walk away.

After saying goodbye to the good-hearted people, Ao Yi was familiar with the alleys and corners of the palace based on his rich experience of playing hide-and-seek with his cousin when he was a child. At the same time, thanks to his uncle, he sent Long Weidu to hunt down Rong Ge and his brothers and his brother's family. Therefore, the guards in the palace are particularly loose.

It seems that they are really planning to deal a cruel blow to our family!

Although he had been vigilant for a long time, at this moment, Ao Yi was still very disappointed and sad, because it was his uncle who drew his sword; thinking about it, the father must be even more disappointed and sad, that is his brother!

Ao Yi held his breath and concentrated, and slowly approached a lighting opening in his memory, gently pushed open the hard and thick white crystal window, and barely squeezed out.

Out!

Ao Yi took a deep breath and stood against the palace wall. Just as he was about to go to the opposite rock, a dazzling white lightning suddenly exploded above his head. Disorder, looking up, saw countless lightning bolts blooming in the sky, splashing silver light everywhere.

The storm is coming.

Is this a good thing or a bad thing?Will it stop my uncle's pursuit or will stop my relatives from leaving?

Ao Yi didn't dare to think about it, so he could only pray for the blessing of the sea god. After swimming out of the Dragon Palace for a certain distance, he turned into a white dragon, advanced at full speed, and disappeared into the night in a blink of an eye.
