"Hahaha-is it? Is this young master slandering you? I think you know the best, your throne, your throne, you know the most! Your Majesty, there were tens of thousands of troops that encircled me at the time, and this was definitely not something that could be mobilized simply. As far as I know, in the news that I received from Your Majesty, I always claimed that my whereabouts had not been found, which was a bit intriguing... I believe that as long as your Majesty, you carefully investigate the movements of all the regular troops of the Shenlong Empire over the past few months and the transfer of casualties, there will definitely be many discoveries..."

He blinked at the old emperor who had been silent in front of him. Long Jiu ignored the third prince's questioning, but said this with a smile. As soon as this said, not only the third prince, but also the three princes, but also the Kong Guoxiong and his son who escorted him, all changed their faces slightly!

"Your Majesty - The Long family was ungrateful in the imperial city and asked the assassin to assassin the Ninth Prince to assassin His Highness. Now Long Jiu intends to divert his attention and confuse the public. Never let this person talk nonsense anymore! I suggest that Your Majesty carefully ask about the situation that day and then decide what crime should he be punished!"

Kong Guoxiong is really a person who has become a spirit. Seeing that Long Jiu was about to take the absolute initiative with his powerful mouth, he would not let him continue to talk. He quickly stepped forward and wanted to change the topic. Unfortunately, his actions were still one step slower after all. For the old emperor, compared with the assassination of the Ninth Prince, he cared more about what Long Jiu said...

"Hmph—that thing will always come to light, and I'm not busy discussing it now! I'm a little interested in what Long Jiu said. Acades, you know the means of being a father. Now I'll ask you solemnly. In the past month of searching, you really haven't found the whereabouts of any of the three sons of the Long family. Haven't you used the army to encircle and suppress it?"

His eyes were staring at the third prince standing not far away in front of him. At this moment, the old emperor showed a complete oppressive force! The poor third prince was a person who could not practice martial arts and magic, so he could not bear such momentum. He squatted and took three or four steps back with a pale face. Then he barely stood firm, saluted to the old emperor respectfully, and said in a deep voice: "I dare not deceive my father. It is because all the encirclements and suppressions were failed. I am afraid that you will be even more angry, so I told General Kong not to report to you. After I captured the third son of the Long family, I will report to my father again. Who knows..."

"Bang--" Before the third prince finished his words, the old emperor was already angrily stomped on the ground, which was strange. The power of this kick was very perfect. The third prince, who was more than ten meters away from him, was shocked by the force transmitted through the ground in this kick and fell directly to the ground. However, the officials and ministers standing next to the third prince were not at all uncomfortable! In a rage, there was such control. The old emperor's unfathomable strength made Long Jiu secretly surprised!

"Bastard - how to decide that is my business. When is it your turn to hide the military information? Acades, when did Long Jiu prove you for the first time, you still wanted to deny the lie in front of me!? It was indeed such a brave man! Say - how much more do you have to hide from me!?"

"Without father, I dare not! The Long family is too rampant, and even the army dares to kill and resist, so I want to not make my father even more upset... You have heard Long Jiu's previous words, but he killed thousands of warriors from our Dragon Empire. This crime is not an exaggeration to even implicate the Nine Clans!"

The third prince's mind was also very good. While begging for mercy, he cleverly shifted the old emperor's attention to another direction. It was a fact that Long Jiu escaped the encirclement of the army, but it was an indisputable fact that he took action to kill many soldiers. Now Long Jiu's crime has been added to the heavier one!

Sure enough, the third prince's words had an effect. The old emperor turned his gaze to Long Jiu again and asked with a gloomy face: "How can you explain this to Long Jiu! Even if Akaters concealed something from me, the person who wanted your Long family was my own order. You knew that you were wanted criminals, but refused to arrest them, and even killed so many soldiers. Long Jiu, you are really brave! I have no reason to believe that the incident of assassinating Lei Jiete had nothing to do with your Long family! Moreover, there is no whereabouts of your two brothers until now! Do you know where they are? Why should you hide?"

Two sharp questions were also the questions in the hearts of everyone except for some others. In fact, after that incident happened, if Long Yi and Long San could come forward and explain it in time, the matter might not have turned into today's situation. The two super experts chose to escape for no reason. It would be hard for anyone to believe their innocence!

"Hehe, I'm not very clear about this issue. In short, when I saw my elder brother and third brother that day, they were all seriously injured. I had no choice but to hide them in a safe place to recuperate. I know that sooner or later, you will send someone to arrest us under the advice of some people. Therefore, I can only keep wandering in the empire and attract the attention of the pursuers! As for what happened that day, I think it would be more convenient for you to ask General Kong, your elder brother, and my third brother, to be severely injured at the same time and have to escape from the scene. The power behind the Kong family is really not to be underestimated..."

A glimmer flashed in his eyes. This time, Long Jiu turned his finger and pulled Kong Guoxiong in. However, the latter was already prepared, not as panicked as the third prince was pointed at the time!

"Hmph - Long Jiu! You have to be the worst mental preparation for this! I am dedicated to the empire and unconditionally obey Your Majesty's will! I believe I have never had any unfair intentions! Your Majesty wants to deal with your powerful Long family. The Wei-Master led the warriors of the Kong family and rushed to the front without saying a word to search for the whereabouts of your Long family! Now you want to humiliate me and the Kong family. I'm sorry, you don't have the qualifications and ability yet!"

After saying this calmly, I have to say that Kong Guoxiong's amazing acting skills are indeed enough to award an Oscar in the 21st century. A shrewd character like the old emperor couldn't help but nod slightly after hearing this "heartfelt words". When he looked at Long Jiu again, he seemed a little suspicious...

"Hahahahaha-What a cunning old man! At this time, he is still pretending to be loyal! This young master originally wanted to give you some face to the Kong family. Now it seems that you, an old man, will not surrender if you don't give up some strong medicine! Very good! Let's start with the matter that day. During the period when the eldest brother and the third brother were recuperating, I explained the situation to me a little. After receiving the order from my father, the only one who could let them leave the palace at the same time was His Majesty's order! And when His Majesty did not really issue the order, the only one who could forge such orders was to stay in the palace all day long, but you, who had unique power in the palace, is His Majesty's Royal Highness-!?"

"Long Jiu - don't talk nonsense! No matter how bold I am, how could I get the emperor's decree letter at will! And even if there are notes, without the emperor's jade seal, it will have no effect! Long Yi and Long San are extremely smart people. Do you think they will not be able to tell the truth or falsehood of the decree!? You repeatedly slander this prince, I will record this account myself!"

The second time when Long Jiu arrived, the third prince seemed much calmer. He secretly exchanged glances with Kong Guoxiong. According to the countermeasures he had thought of before, he spoke without hesitation to refute Long Jiu!

"Is that right... If the elder brother and the third brother can have enough time to carefully check and distinguish the authenticity of the order, they would be unable to deceive them! However, if there was the third prince who was "bloody all over," you personally took the order that didn't know whether it was true or false, with the loyalty of the elder brother and the third brother, I'd probably leave with you without hesitation... As long as they are led to the land of Cuixianglou where you have already set up a net of heaven and earth, it would be much simpler next. If the elder brother and the third brother were not as powerful as they were beyond your imagination, they would have already been two corpses! The dead would not speak, and this was your initial plan... It's a pity that once there are loopholes in the plan, it would be a bit difficult to make up for it..."

"You - you are talking nonsense! Father, Long Jiu has no evidence, but he is talking nonsense here! Everyone can talk nonsense, I hope Father will be aware of it! Don't believe his nonsense!"

The third prince knew that he was at a disadvantage than a quarrel. According to the countermeasures he had discussed with Kong Guoxiong before he came, he simply refused to admit it and threw the problem directly to his father. Because he was confident that the things he did perfectly that day, Long Jiu and others could not find any evidence. All the relevant personnel had been wiped out before it was dark!
