Returning from the distant empire border to the central imperial city, even Long Jiu and his group were all powerful masters. It took nearly ten days to finally enter the prosperous town again! Looking at the familiar streets and scenes in front of him, Long Jiu couldn't help but sigh secretly.

"Hey, I originally planned to not come back to this place, so I tried not to come back. Now it seems that this young master is a troublesome life, and he will eventually be inseparable from the various complex battles of these royal families. Grandma, being the young master of the Long family may not be all good things!"

He muttered himself, Long Jiu followed the two princesses along the way, and finally returned to this palace full of countless disputes and undercurrents in less than two months! Although Long Jiu knew that there would be no good result when he came back again, he was "carried" by his fiancée and the second princess, so he could only personally bring back the seed of the earth vein he got and handed over to the old emperor!

"Hahahaha-Okay! I know that all the children of your Long family are good! I have never disappointed me! This time it is the same. When Yaotian recommended you to me, I was a little worried that you would not do well. Now it seems that I have completely underestimated you, Long Jiu! This time, you have made great contributions!"

The first time Emperor Byron Langric saw Long Jiu, he couldn't help but smile and came up with a smile. Obviously, he had already obtained information and knew that Long Jiu had successfully brought back the Earth Vein Seed that could enhance the fortune of the Earth Vein of the Dragon Empire. Just now, his intimate attitude made Long Jiu feel goose bumps all over his body. To be honest, he was really not used to the attitude of an old man towards him! What's more, this old man is still the king of a country!

"Uh, Your Majesty, you are so serious. I...Uh, I was able to successfully grab this earth vein seed from Master Kong because of my good luck. But I am not sure if this thing is really as mysterious as rumored. I hope that Your Majesty will not take his anger on me because of being too disappointed..."

Long Jiu spread his hands, but he knew the temper of these so-called monarchs. When encountering good things, he could be kind like a kind old man, but once the reality and imagination are different, it would definitely be faster than turning a book! Just in case, Long Jiu naturally would inevitably give the other party a vaccination first!

"Hahaha--Don't worry, Nephew Long! I can feel the magical power of the earth vein seed in your hand! Even if this earth vein seed really cannot have such a magical effect in the rumors, at least with the fluctuations of the magical power of the earth, it can be regarded as a first-class treasure! What's your fault? However, before burying it under the land of my Dragon Empire Imperial City, I must complete one thing first. Come with me, it's time to stop the farce! Humph--!"

When talking about the last few words, Long Jiu could clearly feel the momentum of the old emperor's body suddenly changed and became extremely amazing! This is also the domineering aura that the old emperor, as the king of a country, should have! If Long Jiu had not been a little gangster and had seen countless guys who had relied on his power, this sudden display of kingly domineering would have really shocked him!

Fortunately, Long Jiu is also very smart and knows when to speak and when not to speak nonsense. Looking at the old emperor's appearance and posture, Long Jiu certainly chose to close his mouth wisely. If he spoke randomly now, he would inevitably seek death! He followed the old emperor silently and came directly to the court of the Dragon Empire. As he saw, almost all the civil and military officials in the entire hall were standing. Of course, most of them had no impression of Long Jiu.

"I've seen Your Majesty--!"

Seeing the appearance of the old emperor, everyone respectfully knelt on the ground and greeted him. However, unlike the costume dramas Long Jiu saw on TV in his previous life, the rules on the Magic Martial Arts Continent were obviously not so complicated. When civil and military officials saw the old emperor, they just needed to simply shout hello, without saying anything flattering nonsense like "Long live my emperor, long live my emperor". This made Long Jiu feel a little relieved. If he really saw such a scene, he would probably be even more uncomfortable.

"All up! My family, I have summoned you here today. There are a few things I want to announce. One of them is the young master of the Long family. The nephew of Long Jiu successfully retrieved the seeds of the earth veins from Wanhu Mountain for me that can change the fortune of the earth veins! From today on, our Shenlong Empire will surely flourish for a long time under the protection of the seeds of the earth veins! Do you think, how can you reward the achievements of the Nephew of Long Jiu this time?"

"Your Majesty - Young Master Long Jiu retrieved the seeds of the earth veins, but as far as I know, Young Master Long Jiu not only fought against the Kong family's army, but even killed 108 guards of the Kong family! Only Wang Gang was left with the lucky inventory! Such cruel methods are really indignant! The merits and demerits are due to merits and demerits, I think Young Master Long Jiu should not receive any reward this time!"

The person who spoke was a middle-aged man in a red robe. It can be judged from his bloated figure that this person must not be a military general, but a civil servant who did not know how much gold and silver he had plundered. Long Jiu might not recognize it, but others could recognize it at a glance. This person was the lord of Tianyong City next to the imperial city. Prefect Cui Biao, who was appointed as the prefect, was a petty villain. Because of the promotion of the Kong family, he had his current position. Therefore, he was loyal to the Kong family. When he learned the shame that the Kong family suffered in Wanhu Mountain, he would not point his finger at Long Jiu!

"Hmph - Taishou Cui, what I heard of is not like this! It seems that on Wanhu Mountain, Master Kong Yanling took the lead in threatening Master Long Jiu with tens of thousands of Kong family troops, so the two sides had a dispute and even fought! However, the Kong family army with tens of thousands of troops, plus the 108 Guards and three young masters, still could not do anything to a young master of the Long family. It can be seen how amazing the strength of Master Long Jiu is. Isn't such a talent meant to cherish and promote it? When General Long grows old, it may be the time for Master Long Jiu to carry the banner of the Long family!"

Shortly after Cui Biao's voice fell, a rebuttal sound rang out. A burly man in armor serving as a man walked out of the crowd, glanced at Cui Biao with sharp eyes and spoke loudly! This glance made Cui Biao shiver. As a civil servant without any ability, what Cui Biao feared the most was to face those generals who went to fight to kill the enemy without hesitation!

As the two people spoke, the officials in the hall also started to talk in their own interests. Those who supported Long Jiu and the Long family naturally wanted to suppress the Long family. For a moment, they couldn't tell which side had the advantage. However, the old emperor was a little unable to bear it and spoke loudly to stop everyone from continuing to talk.

"Okay, I understand what you mean! I won't talk about Long Jiu for now. I will make a decision afterwards, but another thing is to be announced and decided solemnly today! My dear friends should be clear that I have already explained that this time the task of the Earth Vein Seed is to be completed by everyone. No matter who can bring back the Earth Vein Seed, he will have the right to speak! And this time, the one who brings back the Earth Vein Seed is Long Jiu, which is the Long family! Therefore, according to the previous statement, I decided to make my youngest son, the ninth prince, the ninth prince Byron Rejet, the new prince!"

As soon as the old emperor said this, the audience was silent for a few seconds, and then it suddenly seemed like a sensation. Everyone began to talk about it with their eyes. The ministers who had interests in the five major families all looked nervous and mixed with joy and sorrow! At this moment, Long Jiu saw all the things in the palace!

"No, Your Majesty - You must not make hasty decisions about this matter! Your Highness, the eldest prince, has just passed away, and such a thing happened. Now the matter of a new prince must be long-term and careful to make decisions! If you still make the decision as decisively as before, a similar situation may happen again, Your Majesty! I hope Your Majesty thinks twice—!"

"Yes, Your Majesty - Lord Li said it right! The eldest prince's death is not over yet. If you make a new prince now, it will probably cause a lot of discussion in the palace, and it is very likely to cause disagreement. At that time, it will probably lead to a big disaster! Now all the four countries around you have begun to make small moves. At this time, it is only necessary to consider carefully. The empire cannot withstand another blow! I hope Your Majesty thinks twice—!"

"I hope your Majesty think twice—!"

With the neat shouts, hundreds of officials and generals from the audience all knelt on the ground spontaneously and asked the old emperor to take back this decisive decision again. The previous matter of establishing the eldest prince as the crown prince had already determined how wrong the old emperor's decision was. This time, the ninth prince as the new crown prince would undoubtedly cause too many people to dissatisfaction.

However, as the emperor of the Dragon Empire, Byron Langrick was an extremely stubborn and domineering monarch. Few people could refute and resist what he had decided. Even if all officials disagree, as long as he felt it was reasonable, he would not obey anyone's opinions. This time, Long Jiu had seen what the absolute power of a king is!
