117. Suddenly look back at the East China Sea! East China Sea!
Rong Tuo was stunned for a moment and said, "Ao Han, the great prince of the East China Sea? How did you remember to ask this? β
Ji Mo explained lightly: "It's just a little curious, you don't have to hide it in front of me, what do you say, I want to know the situation at that time." β
Rong Tuo couldn't help but look back a few times.
"Why?" Ji Mo felt funny, "Are you worried about being heard by Ao Bai?" β
Rong Tuo quickly swam forward for a while, and then beckoned: "You hurry up, of course I won't say that in front of the king, are you really stupid?" β
"Hmm." Ji Mo said jokingly, but he quickly followed.
They stopped at the door of Ji Mo's house.
"Alright, it's quiet here, can you say?" Ji Mo sat on the stone bench, the little dragon nested in his arms, and the little guy fell asleep early in the morning.
Rong Tuo also seemed to be holding back ruthlessly, he was not the kind of dragon who could hide secrets, and immediately recalled it carefully.
"At that time, I took Heixiu and them, and not long after swimming into the East China Sea, I was intercepted by Ao Han with the Guardian Dragon...... We quarreled, and I had the feeling that Ao Han was deliberately waiting to intercept us...... He spoke very ugly, and frankly Ao Han seemed to be very prejudiced against the king, and he was ridiculed and ridiculed, and I was also very angry, and Hei Xiu and them were not far away...... Later, they were about to fight, and I had no choice but to take Hei Xiu and them to quickly leave the East China Sea and enter the West Sea, and this is the general experience. β
Rong Tuo finished speaking in one breath, only to feel extremely happy, and the boulder in his heart fell to the ground.
"Heixiu, did they hear that?" Ji Mo sighed, feeling very sorry for his dragon.
"I don't know...... But don't worry, I warned them early on, and they can only act as if they didn't hear anything! Rong Tuo said majestically.
"No, even if you don't warn them, Hei Xiu will solve it, he knows what to do." Ji Mo said with a smile.
Rong Tuo shook his head and said a little naughtly: "...... Also, at that time they were all forced to have nowhere to hide, where else could they go without coming to the Sicilian Sea? β
Ji Mo asked Ao Han in detail about his words and deeds at that time, and he was collecting more evidence for his decision-making.
Although Rong Tuo was a little puzzled, he still answered quickly, but his eyes became more and more wrong, until Ji Mo noticed it.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Ji Mo asked casually, "If you have anything to say, I'm not responsible if it's broken." β
"Ahem~ Why, why do you care so much about Ao Han?" Rong Tuo approached, asked mysteriously and cautiously, "Hey, Ji Mo, you and Ao Han ...... Is it familiar? Privately ask me so much what do you want to do? β
Ji Mo looked at Qinglong's eyes full of admonition, and said angrily, "Where did you think of it again?" It's not serious to look at your eyes! β
"How can I be blamed for this?" Rong Tuo shouted injustice, "Obviously, you are behind the king's back and ask me so much in private!" β
The one-eyed green dragon inevitably thought worriedly: You are the dragon queen of Sicily, and even the little prince has been raised so big, you have to keep your heart. Even if you have had anything with Ao Han, you have to forget about it......
Ji Mo raised his hand and gave Qinglong a punch, and said with a smile: "Don't think nonsense!" Obviously, you were worried about Ao Bai hearing this, so you pulled me away from the distance. Sue you, I haven't seen Ao Han at all, really! I've never seen a dragon before, where is it not familiar or not? β
Rong Tuo's heart was finally pressed, and he asked again: "Then what are you asking him to do?" β
"I inquired about him, just because he is the great prince of the East China Sea, and if nothing else, he will also be the future Dragon King of the East China Sea, that's all." Ji Mo explained seriously.
At this time, Ji Mo was sitting with Xiaolong in his arms, Qinglong was entrenched in front of him and bent over, looking at it from a distance, talking and laughing, the atmosphere was very good.
Ao Bai, who hurried home, saw this scene, and immediately felt that something was not good, he swam faster, and asked from afar:
"What are you talking about? So happy? β
Qinglong was still smiling when he turned his head to look, but when he came into contact with the eyes of the King of Sicily, even if he was grinning, he could feel the other party's dissatisfaction.
Rong Tuo hurriedly stepped back, widened the distance between him and Ji Mo, and explained: "It's nothing, Ji Mo asked me about something." Wang, is there anything they need my help with? β
Ao Bai's eyes were sharp, and he leaned towards his partner possessively, and said, "The matter of sealing the sea will be arranged tomorrow morning, and you are also tired." By the way, what did Ji Mo ask you? β
Rong Tuo secretly complained in his heart, glanced at the mermaid, and at the same time reflected on himself, whether he was too close just now.
"Ao Bai, I'll discuss it with you when I go back." Ji Mo smiled neatly, "Rong Tuo, you go back first and have a good rest." β
Rong Tuo said goodbye with a dry smile, and then quickly walked away without looking back.
Ji Mo pushed open the door of the house and swam in with Xiaolong in one hand. I don't know when he started, he has become accustomed to carrying this weight on his body, whether it is hugging, carrying, dragging, or holding, if Ao Yi is not within his line of sight and shakes, Ji Mo will feel empty physically and mentally.
Ao Bai has always been in charge of doors and windows and defense, after he hurriedly cleaned up, he swam into the bedroom, Ji Mo was gently putting Xiaolong in the middle of the bed and lying on his stomach, when he straightened his waist, Ao Bai saw his partner rubbing his arm.
"Sore hands?" Ao Bai swam over, and in order to take care of his partner, he will turn into a human form when the surrounding environment is safe.
"Hmm, Yi'er always wants to slip away." Ji Mo smiled helplessly.
Ao Bai sat on the head of the bed, let his partner lie on his back, gently kneaded his shoulders, neck and arms, and said guiltily: "Ao Yi is getting more and more naughty, I will discipline him well, thank you for your hard work...... Hei Xiu said something urgent just now, and I heard that it was really troublesome, so I talked to him for a while, don't you-"
"What do I want?" Ji Mo interrupted with a smile, and he lay comfortably, closing his eyes and recuperating.
"I'm afraid you're going to be angry." Ao Bai honestly admitted, "What did you ask Rong Tuo just now?" I see you're having a great time. β
Inevitably, the little white dragon was a little jealous.
"Tell me about Hei Xiu first, has anything happened at home in the past few days since we left?" Ji Mo cheered up and asked rhetorically.
Ao Bai had to reply: "Okay. Before I left, didn't I arrange for Heixiu and them to collect pearls? β
"Well, can't they find the pearl?" Ji Mo was a little puzzled.
"It's not that I can't find it." Ao Bai's voice became stern, "Hei Xiu and they did collect a lot of pearls, but when they were operating on the edge of the sealed sea and the West Sea, they found that the West Sea Dragon Clan was also collecting pearls on a large scale, and they also crossed the line, they actually fished pearls in the Sicilian Sea!" β
"Isn't it? Oh, my God! How dare you cross the line!? Ji Mo exclaimed.
"Hei Zhou you know, he has seen Ao Mu and them, and when there was a conflict in pearl diving that day, Hei Zhou recognized one of Ao Mu's companions." Ao Bai gritted his teeth and said.
Ji Mo couldn't close his eyes anymore, his upper body instantly bounced up, looked up at his partner, and said with a dark face: "! It seems that Ao Mu must have learned about the storage of dragon fruit from some channels, otherwise he would not have such a move, we have been coming to Sicily for a while, you have been patrolling the sea every day before, have you ever found that the dragon of the West Sea swam to our house to find pearls? β
Ao Bai hurriedly pressed his excited partner, and said helplessly: "Of course not, if I see it, how can I not tell you?" You must know that the division of sea boundaries is very strict. β
Ji Mo couldn't lie down, he swam back and forth on the bed, frowning tightly - how could this be? Ao Mu: They have actually started to act?
"Ji Mo, don't worry, I'll go to the border tomorrow to see in person, if you really catch the West Sea Dragon, you can kill it on the spot and make an example." Ao Bai looked resolute.
The mermaid continued to swim around until his tail almost slapped the curled up sleeping dragon, "Uh~ Dad almost stepped on you...... I'm sorry. Ji Mo quickly raised the fish's tail and slowly retreated.
Ao Bai promised again, "I'll deal with it tomorrow, and it will be solved soon, don't worry." β
"No, no!" Ji Mo shook his head, "Even if you kill all the West Sea Dragons who crossed the border, it's useless." β
"And what do you think?" Ao Bai hugged his partner again.
"Ao Bai, as long as the Sicilian Sea does not become strong, it will always be tempted and despised by its neighbors." Ji Mo's expression was very sincere, "You see, Ao Kun is like this, and Ao Mu is also like this, in the final analysis, it's all because we are not strong enough - if our strength is as strong as the East China Sea Lord Clan, do they dare to cross the line?" β
Ao Bai sighed, frowned deeply, and said patiently, "Why don't I know the reason? It's useless to be in a hurry, and I'm thinking about this every day as soon as I open my eyes. β
To be strong in Fenghai, first of all, we must have a strong team of guardian dragons, and secondly, the population balance and marriage and reproduction problems within Fenghai must be solved. These are the most basic and currently the most important things to be perfected in the Sicilian Sea.
"I have an idea, I don't know if you agree with it." Ji Mo said softly.
"Huh? Come on, you've always had a lot of ideas. Ao Bai trusted his partner very much, and the two sides lay on top of each other, intimate.
"Ahem~ That's the case, just now I asked Rong Tuo about Brother Ao Han." Ji Mo said carefully, "Ao Bai, you tell me honestly, when will Ao Han take over the position of the Dragon King of the East China Sea?" How is the relationship between your two brothers? β
ββ¦β¦οΌβ
Ao Bai stopped stroking his partner's shoulders and didn't speak for a long time, just when Ji Mo thought that the other party was asleep, Ao Bai finally spoke, and his voice was low and lonely:
"My father never consulted me about these matters, and my brother was the successor he had always identified. However, I guess it should be soon, Brother Wang has long been an adult, and he began to participate in the governance of the East China Sea early, and it is natural to take over...... As for my relationship with Brother Wang? Well, it's hard to say, we have a big age difference, he's very busy, and I wasn't so smooth before...... The matter of transfiguration has bothered me for so long, and now that I think about it, it was really not easy in the past. β
Ji Mo held his partner's hand, raised his head and kissed his lips, and after tasting it, he slowly deepened the kiss.
Ao Bai gladly accepted, holding the other party's back with one hand and fixing the back of the other's neck with the other; Ji Mo rode on his partner's waist and put his hands around each other's shoulders.
Close your eyes and concentrate on the other person, this is a kiss full of warmth and comfort.
After a long kiss, Ji Mo placed his palm on his partner's heart, feeling the regular beat.
"Ao Bai, I have an idea, if it happens, it can help the Sicilian Sea take a big step forward!" Ji Mo said seductively.
ββ¦β¦ You say. Ao Bai smiled, with a sigh at the end, as if he had understood something.
"Go back to the East China Sea, while your father is still there, and get back the power you should have obtained before the royal brother succeeds him!" Ji Mo said resolutely.
"Why did you suddenly think of this?" Ao Bai asked dotingly.
"I thought it was before." Ji Mo moved for a moment and changed to a more comfortable position to lie down, "At that time, when we left the East China Sea, I always thought that you had received too many strange eyes in the East China Sea, and you should live a comfortable and happy life when you arrived in Sicily, so you didn't come all the way here." β
"And then?" Ao Bai asked very patiently and respected his partner very much.
"And then? Alas~" Ji Mo sighed bitterly, "Now I think it's wrong to think like this, freedom everywhere is relative and limited, if the Sicilian Sea doesn't become strong quickly, sooner or later we will live a life of fear and anxiety." β
"Don't be afraid, I will always protect you, of course, and Ao Yi." Ao Bai reassured.
"Hey, this is our common home, and I'm going to help too." Ji Mo sat up and said bitterly:
"Are we stupid, you say? Why did you come to Sicily empty-handed? You are the rightful prince of the East China Sea, your father assigned the Sicilian Sea to you, and it is your responsibility to govern this sea, but at the same time you are also defending the edge of the East China Sea, which is equivalent to defending the Dragon Clan of the East China Sea and defending the Dragon King and Queen of the East China Sea! You say yes, right? β
Ao Bai couldn't help but feel a little funny when he saw his partner's remorseful and impassioned appearance, he couldn't help but smile and said seriously: "That's right, the Sicilian Sea was not guarded by a dragon king before. Because it is remote and deserted, and it is next to the West Sea, the North Sea and the Sicilian mainland, no one wants to come. β
"Isn't that right?" Ji Mo patted his partner's thigh, "You are a stupid prince, your father asked you to come, and you came; I'm also a fool, I just wanted to change my life as much as possible, and I didn't even think about the future at all. β
Ji Mo shook his head in reflection, and then resolutely said: "Ao Bai, we must go back to the East China Sea as much as possible!" After coming out for so long, it is also time to go back to visit, and have a good talk with my father, if we can't hold the Sicilian Sea, the East China Sea will not be peaceful, even if my father is eccentric, it is impossible to ignore the safety of the East China Sea, right? β
"You want to sue him?" Ao Bai was very cautious.
"Sue him?" Ji Mo was suddenly interrupted, stunned for a moment before reacting, and said, "Did you say dragon fruit?" No, there's no rush with this. Now, let's focus on the problem of the West Sea Dragon crossing the line, Ao Mu not only slapped us in the face, but even hit my father's face together, I don't believe he can swallow this breath! β
Ao Bai suddenly smiled happily, his chest constantly shaking, not like sarcasm or self-deprecation.
"Laughing at what?" Ji Mo asked curiously, "Hey, I'm serious-the sixth prince was awarded the title of Sicily, how can there be a dragon king who can't pull out a hair?" So what do you do to protect the borders of the East China Sea? I'm going to laugh at the dead dragon when I say it! β
"Hahaha~" Ao Bai was still laughing loudly, and then even Xiaolong was awakened, he got up blankly, blinked sleepily, and swam crookedly into Ji Mo's arms to lie on his stomach, Ao Bai saw this, and then stopped laughing.
"Alas~ Fortunately, you are my partner." Ao Bai said with emotion, holding a big and a small in his arms, extremely satisfied.
"What do you think of what I just said? Hurry up and hear it! Ji Mo hurriedly urged, "Let me tell you, it's not strange at all, it's a very feasible and legitimate way." Now that there are so few guard dragons at home, what can you do to fight with the West Sea? Sea freedmen like the Heixiu family are still in the minority, and it will take a long process to recruit them. β
After Ao Bai finished laughing, his expression was still quite pleasant, he raised his eyebrows, and said, "I agree with what you said, let's take Yi'er back to the East China Sea for a while." β
This, so refreshing? You don't want to ask a few more questions?
"Huh?" Ji Mo's painstakingly prepared manuscript was blocked in his throat, but he had nothing to say.
"How?" Ao Bai rubbed the other party's cheek and asked with a smile: "What are you doing looking at me like this?" Isn't that just up to you? β
Ji Mo Nee nodded, "Hmm." Let's go back and try it first, even if my father doesn't want to help, it's not a loss, and then think of other ways. β
Ao Bai said confidently: "Father will help, I know how to convince him!" Before, I had resentment in my heart, and I always wanted to hold my breath and be my own, but when I left the East China Sea, my father didn't speak, and I didn't ask, but now that I think about it, I'm also angry. β
The husband and wife hit it off and had the same heart. Ji Mo's blood surged straight to his head, and he made a gesture of rolling up his sleeves and jumped up, figuring out one thing was like opening up the second pulse of Ren Du and moving away from the big stone blocking the road in front of him, and the spiritual platform was transparent.
"That's right! We were all a little angry at the time, it was so undeserved! Ji Mo choked his wrists and regretted, "Hey~ You sue me, under normal circumstances, what should the Dragon King have equipped for the prince's sealing of the sea?" β
Ao Bai thought for a while and slowly introduced: "There is no fixed one. First look at the strength of the dragon king, and secondly, look at the favored Cheng dΓΉ of the prince. β
"Oh, favored Cheng dΓΉ." Ji Mo touched his nose and said carefully: "Skip the favored Cheng dΓΉ, let's say the least." β
"Well, judging from the current situation in the East China Sea, the most that can be allocated is the guardian dragon, the guardian dragon is hard to say, followed by the turtle clan, the lobster clan and the Cancer clan, probably such a group match, because the first thing the new dragon king should pay attention to is defense and governance and the construction of the dragon palace."
Ji Mo snorted, clapped his fists with his hands, lay down with high morale, and said:
"Then it's decided, go back to the East China Sea as much as possible! Not only can you take Yi'er back to her hometown to show the elders, but also may get a big boost, no matter how bad it is, you can unite with the East China Sea and jointly solve the cross-border problem of the West Sea Dragon! In these days, it's really hard to go it alone. β
*****
After a while, the warm season entered the middle of the season, and the weather became hotter and hotter.
The Sicilian Sea has changed from its former cold and quiet appearance, and the construction of the Dragon Palace is in full swing.
Because Ao Bai deliberately asked Rong Tuo to go to Beihai to pick up the Hei Xiu family before, during which he also more or less beat the reputation of the Sicilian Sea, and then a group of Jiaolong who came to take refuge actually came, and their experience was similar to that of Hei Xiu, and after the test, Ao Bai also accepted them.
"Wow, this group of dragons is even thinner than the original Hei Xiu! I heard that several of their companions had died on the way, and I don't know whether they were starved to death or exhausted - how could that be? There are still dragons starving to death in the sea? Rong Tuo was amazed and said in a low voice of surprise.
Ji Mo was very sympathetic, "How far did you swim from the North Sea?" Most of those who were frightened and hid in Tibet died of the old, weak, sick and disabled. β
At this time, Ao Bai swam over with Xiaolong, and he went to the other side to check the progress of the construction of the Dragon Palace.
"Dad~" Xiaolong's pronunciation was not so standard, but his feelings were extremely full, and he happily pounced on Ji Mo.
"Hey~ my good son!" Ji Mo hurriedly opened his arms and caught it with all his might, but he was still knocked back a few meters, this was really a sweet and powerful hug.
Yes, under Ji Mo's perseverance and earnest teaching day and night, Ao Yi finally learned to shout "Dad"!
However, that's all, Ao Yi only knows this word at the moment, and he hasn't even learned "father" yet, so Ao Bai can't help but feel a little anxious.
"I look at your back, you ran out early in the morning, where did you go?" Ji Mo asked lovingly while examining Xiaolong's wounds.
Ao Bai replied on his behalf, "He had to follow me out, and he couldn't coax him, so he followed Hei Xiu to see the Dragon Palace verandah." β
"Well, it's okay, right?" Ji Mo asked with concern, and said, "Yi'er's scales have all grown, and there is not a single scar left, it's good!" β
Rong Tuo also leaned over to look, "I said that it will be good, but you don't believe it!" It's not a broken muscle, and the young dragon's recovery force is already very strong. β
"It's all pretty smooth." Ao Bai said with satisfaction.
"That's good, now that Yi'er's injury has healed, we should prepare to go back to the East China Sea." Ji Mo reminded.
Rong Tuo was the happiest when he heard it, "Are you finally going to the East China Sea?" I've been waiting for a long time! β
Ao Bai said helplessly: "When I go back, I don't have to play, I still have to do things." β
"Anything goes! I just like to go out and see more! Rong Tuo said confidently.
"Well, Rong Tuo really has to follow, take him back and walk around, sooner or later he will have to deal with it." Ji Mo said.
"I've already thought about it, bring a few Rongtuo Heizhou, let Hei Xiu stay, and he will arrange the construction of the Dragon Palace and the coastal patrol defense." Ao Bai said confidently and calmly, "Without further ado, I was waiting for Yi'er's injuries to heal, so let's set off tomorrow." β
Ji Mo reminded again: "Big brother, they don't know when they will come over, Rong Tuo, how are you preparing?" β
Rong Tuo hurriedly said: "It's all arranged, the wooden house on the island has been built, and Hei Xiu also knows the news that the eldest prince is coming." β
Ji Mo lifted Xiaolong high, made him happy, and said with a smile:
"Okay, we'll go back to the East China Sea tomorrow!"
