177 Siege of the Fallen Tigers: First Round of Negotiations
- What? You're going to take Hittu back to the tribe?
Hearing this, Ao Yang put down the arm that he had been holding leisurely, hung down at his side, showed anger on his face, anger gradually accumulated, and sneered:
"Heh~ What did you just say?"
Higg rightly repeated: "I am the beast father of Xitu, and I will take him back to the tribe!" β
"Youβdoβdream." The big white dragon categorically refused word by word.
"Don't go too far, the dragon, Xitu is obviously my cub, how long are you going to detain him in the holy lake? He always has to go back to the tribe! I believe that Qing Zhe also wants you to let Xitu go back to the tribe. Higg argues that his relationship with his current partner, Kari, has faded and disappeared into numbness in the cold war of bickering and cold-war, and because Kari was left with a serious injury during childbirth, according to the joint diagnosis of several priests, they all regret that Kari will not be able to conceive in the future.
In other words, Higg can only have two children in his life, Xitu and the newborn little female.
A group of dragons surrounded Xige, embarrassed bystanders, and no one of them could interject, but Ao Ke thought he was Ao Yang's brother, and he couldn't help but help.
Ao Ke said sarcastically: "Hmph, how could Qingzhe let Xitu go back to the tribe? They live well in the Holy Lake, it is definitely better than in the tribe, at least there are no tiger orcs here who have abandoned the chaos from the beginning! β
Ao Yang turned his head and glanced at Ao Ke, didn't say anything, and couldn't see any emotion on his face.
However, in Ao Ke's opinion, this is equivalent to the meaning that his brother does not object, he feels that he has done a good job, so the smile on his face is more pleasant.
However, Ao Ke's condescending and proud smile couldn't have been more cynical in Higg's eyes.
"You dragons!" Xige angrily reprimanded: "Even if Qingzhe is willing to stay in the Holy Lake, it doesn't mean that Xitu must stay, his roots are in the tribe, are you doing this to raise him and destroy him?" β
At this time, the door of the wooden house was opened, and Ji Mo appeared at the door with the emotional Qingzhe in his arms.
"Higg!" Qing Zhe shouted violently, "You were going to live with Kari at the beginning, and when I begged you to think about it, what did you say?" Well? You forgot? I haven't forgotten! I tell you, where I live, I will live where I want to live, and no one will try to take Xitu away unless I die!! β
"Qingzhe, calm down!" Ao Yang hurriedly went over to support his partner and whispered comfortingly: "It's no big deal, no matter how difficult it is, it's not worth being angry about this." β
When Xitu saw his former partner, he finally bowed his head for a moment with guilt - in fact, he couldn't accept Qingzhe's appearance of giving birth to the offspring of the evil dragon.
"Y-Do you need to be so excited?" Higg raised his head again and spoke with some difficulty: "Okay Qingzhe, even if I did it wrong at the beginning, I have always been Xitu's beast father, haven't I?" At Hittu's age, he should have gone hunting with the warriors, but you forced him to leave him in the sacred lake and let him play crazy every day, what good would it do him? Let me take him back, I promise to treat him as he did beforeβno! I'll treat him better than I used to! β
As the patriarch of the tribe, but without a male orc of his own, Higg felt so embarrassed that he couldn't lift his head.
Xitu couldn't hold back any longer, he hugged the little dragon, walked out from behind the door, and said nervously, "I'm not going back to the tribe!" β
Ao Yang soothed: "Of course you won't go back to the tribe, don't worry, no one can take you away." β
Xiaolong listened for a long time, although it was foggy, but he heard one thing clearly-the big tiger outside wants to take his brother away?
"My brother won't go!" Xiaolong's immature voice was very serious, "My brother's house is in the Holy Lake, this is the Holy Lake, he won't leave." β
Ao Yang praised in time: "Yi'er is so smart, she even understands this." β
Hearing his uncle's strong praise, Xiaolong hugged his tail, smiled with crooked eyebrows, and nested in Xitu's arms with satisfaction.
Xige was sad and aggrieved, he originally thought that the evil dragon would definitely not be willing to raise Xitu - Xitu is my cub, even if the evil dragon has a crush on Qingzhe, there is no reason why he has no obligation to take care of Xitu, right?
Could it be that the dragon is stupid?
ββ¦β¦ Xitu, why don't you go back to the tribe? Undeterred, Higg began to play the warmth card instead, "Your grandparents are just one of your grandchildren, and they worry about you every day, even if I am not good and I should die, do you even hate them too?" Well? β
Sure enough, the little tiger cub began to show a guilty expression, because Higg was right, the four old people who stayed in the tribe to live treated Xitu well, and the little tiger cub would not be ungrateful.
"You don't fool my Xitu!" Qing Zhe was furious, and immediately choked back, "If I can, Xitu will not be unwilling to take care of my grandparents, and when I get better, I will arrange to visit them, so you don't need to talk too much!" β
Higg is always not confident about his former partner, and he emphasized: "Isn't Xitu also mine?" How did it become your own? Qingzhe, I don't object to you wanting to fight the evil dragon, but you shouldn't drag Xitu over, you will ruin him by doing so. β
Qing Zhe was so angry that he raised his hand and pointed at the other party and scolded; "It's not up to you to decide whether to destroy it or not, my hope will be fine in the future! For Xitu's sake, I advise you one last time: do it yourself, don't come here to make trouble again! β
Just as the saber was rattling, a peaceful and long wolf howl suddenly came from the periphery of the holy lake, which was thick and powerful, and clearly transmitted to the wooden house.
Woowoo ~ ~~~
Ao Yang immediately turned his head to look at the bushes in the distance and frowned.
"Huh? Yaoooo Only Xiaolong was excited and excited, waving his paws and saying to Ji Mo: "Dad, a new whine is coming, do you want to catch it?" Then he looked at Ao Yang expectantly and said; Uncle, are you going to get it right? My brother and I both wanted to play. β
Xitu reluctantly explained: "Yi'er, that voice was made by Qiao Anke of the tribal wolf clan, and my father Rhea should also be here - you really can't play with it." β
"Can't play?" Xiaolong blinked, "But Dad said, I can have pets, I want to play with pets." β
Ji Mo, who was originally cheering up because of the arrival of the orcs of the beast tribe, was startled, suddenly realized, and explained with a smile: "Yi'er, the pets that Dad is talking about refer to puppies, turtles and kittens, and do not include land orcs!" β
Rong Tuo finally stood up straight, no longer lazily leaning on the railing, squinting his eyes and blowing the wind in boredom, Rong Tuo asked energetically: "Are we going to talk to them?" Or let them come? β
Ao Yang proposed: "Xitu, you call them in, and we will talk on the shore of the lake." β
"Okay, I'll go right away." Xitu handed the little dragon to Rong Tuo, and finally glanced at his biological father sadly, turned around and ran away.
No one bothered Higg anymore, and everyone was busy with business.
Qing Zhe came out to argue for a while, he was very emotional, after all, it was inconvenient for the old priest to come out, because his position was very delicate, he could only watch from the house, and he gestured to Ji Mo anxiously, and Qing Zhe was quickly helped in and handed over to the tower priest to take care of.
"You, youβ" Higg was dumbfounded, he had been deeply worried for a long time, unable to sleep at night, in a very bad mental state, and his reflexes had slowed down a lot.
Before leaving, Ao Yang dropped a sentence: "Heihama, you look at him first." β
*****
On the shore of the lake, when he saw the familiar warriors of the tribe, Xitu's mood finally improved.
"Father!" Xitu flew up to Rui's side, his eyes shining with joy.
"Seetu is getting taller again." Rui still didn't smile, he reached out to touch the little tiger cub's head, pinched his arm, and solemnly admonished: "Don't relax, exercise hard, you have to be conscious." β
"I know the Father." Situ respectfully agreed, and he respected Rui very much, because Rui had always taken care of Situ as if he were his own child: teaching him to fight, teaching him to hunt, teaching him to survive in the jungle, and so on.
"You just said that Ao Yang agreed to let us in? Why? After a few pleasantries, Rui quickly got down to business.
Since Qingzhe and Ao Yang became partners, and Xitu recognized Ao Yang as his father, Rui and a small group of orcs silently changed their words and no longer called Ao Yang an evil dragon, so as not to make Xitu Qingzhe uncomfortable to hear. They want to;
- Forget it, all this may be the arrangement of the beast god: at least with Qingzhe here, Ao Yang will no longer go toe-to-toe with the beast tribe, when will he retribut? There are more and more dragons on land, and they can't be slaughtered for a long time.
"I don't know exactly what they want to talk to you about," he explained...... Also, here comes my beast father. β
The brown bear immediately shouted excitedly, "What? Higg again? HeβDid he make trouble? Alas, we are all going to be killed by himβ"
Rui looked at Xitu's embarrassed expression, and immediately reminded: "Don't talk about A, Ao Yang and they are here." β
Cetu sighed quietly and turned to look.
The shore of the lake is full of green grass and wild flowers, and now it is the tail of the warm season, and most of the wild fruits in the forest are ripe, and they hang heavily on the branches, attracting birds to chirp and peck at them.
As the land and sea approached, each other's eyes filled with assessment and inquiry, and for the first time they had come into contact with each other so calmly, ready to negotiate.
Xiaolong was carried ashore by Rong Tuo, he looked around with great interest, his eyes were not enough, when he found a tree full of pale red fruits in front of him, Xiaolong immediately became excited, lying on Rong Tuo's shoulder and shouting:
"Look, there's so much fruit!"
Xitu smiled, walked over and picked two off, stuffed them into the claws of the little dragon, and said, "Eat it, this can be eaten, it is not poisonous." β
"Daddy, come on, do you want the fruit that my brother picked for me?" Xiaolong said filial piety to Ji Mo, who came up from behind.
"You can eat it yourself, Daddy doesn't." Ji Mo responded with a smile.
The warriors of the Beast Tribes were amazed when they saw the little dragons, for they had never seen the cubs of the dragon tribe; When they heard Xiaolong call Xitu his brother, they were even more surprised.
"What do you want to talk about?" Rui asked straight to the point, and he first stated: "The tower priest belongs to our tribe, if you insist on not letting him go back to the tribe and cause accidents to those tribesmen, we will not be able to explain to the tribesmen, and we will have to ask you for an explanation at that time." β
As soon as the words fell, Ji Mo decided that this orc is not simple, he speaks in an orderly manner, reasoned and well-founded, and hides needles in the cotton, this is what an orc warrior should look like!
"It's not that we refuse to let the tower priest go back to the tribe, it's because Qing Zhe is in a very bad state, and the tower priest himself can't rest assured - Qing Zhe is also your clan, right? Is his life not his life? Besides, when the priest of the tower came over, you also nodded and agreed, right? Ji Mo calmly retorted.
Rui frowned and looked at Ji Mo, then looked at Ao Yang, who calmly repeated, "I have already said that the tower priest cannot go back for the time being, but I agree to let you people come and stay temporarily." β
Ji Mo then proposed: "First of all, we have medicinal herbs here that your tribe does not have, which are very precious, and we are willing to take them out for the use of the tower priests; Secondly, in case of emergency, we can also provide some pearls; Finally, in the meantime, you are allowed to come and visit your people at any time. β
Wow? Is it really that good?
Rui frowned tightly, and his companion behind him began to whisper, his expression a little shaken.
"Of course, you can refuse." Ji Mo summed up helplessly, "We have made enough concessions and done our best, if you still don't agree, please go back." 166 Reading Network
