Chapter 260: A Storm Is Coming!
Regarding the lack of money encountered in the construction of Lanling City, except for Long Jiu and the closest people, even the workers did not know. However, for some reason, this news leaked into the ears of the fourth prince in front of him. When he heard this sentence, Long Jiu knew that this matter might not be so easy to pass on!
"Your Highness, the prince of the royal family. I have concealed this news so closed, and I will let you know! But this is not a problem at all. If I really can't find the way to get gold coins, at worst I can ask our Long Family Courtyard. With the financial resources of the Long Family, I believe that Your Highness the Fourth Prince will not suspect that even a mere Lanling City cannot be supported!"
There were waves of light flashing in his eyes. At this moment, the atmosphere between the two sides was not as kind as they were disguised at the beginning. Although Long Jiu still had a faint smile on his face when he spoke, his fists were clenched slightly unconsciously. Once the other party took any action, he could respond immediately!
Similarly, the burly sixth prince standing next to the fourth prince had already leaned back slightly with his right hand, and could hold the silver spear behind him in his hand at any time! However, unlike the two of them, the fourth prince still had a smile of unscathing and disgrace on his face, and the aura on his body did not fluctuate too much.
"Haha, Master Long Jiu, don't be nervous. In fact, this news is just a matter of my prince's hearing and random guessing. Didn't you expect that you really encountered such a situation? In fact, the cost of rebuilding a city is only one or two million gold coins. For me and your Long family, it is a drop in the bucket. However, Master Long Jiu, you are so stubborn that you do not accept the assistance of the family and want to do it yourself, which is also a pity for me! With Master Long Jiu, your personality, you may not easily ask for help. Now you should treat it as my prince asking you for it. Once the father summons everyone to discuss the issue of the inheritance of the crown prince, Master Long Jiu only needs to express his silent opposition to the ninth emperor's succession, and treat it as helping me. Everything about the gold coins is easy to discuss, how about it?"
"Hahahaha-It's true that I didn't expect. You royal relatives all have unreasonable thoughts about that high-powered position. According to my opinion, wouldn't it be better to be a free prince like His Highness the Second Prince! I really can't understand what the meaning of your life is to fight for this! His Highness the Fourth Prince, you should invite him back. Although I can't find a way to make money for the time being, I can't do it without my conscience for this little gold coins! I don't know who can better be competent for the next monarch of the Dragon Empire, but what I can be sure of is that if the monarch of the Dragon Empire is inherited by His Highness the Fourth Prince, I'm afraid the empire's lifespan will not be long..."
"Bold - a bastard, how dare you talk to us like this!"
Long Jiu's slightly mocking words had just fallen. The sixth prince, who had been silent from the beginning, suddenly shouted angrily, pulled out the silver spear behind him at an extremely astonishing speed, and pointed directly at Long Jiu's chest with a shot! This posture seemed to kill his opponent on the spot!
"Hehe, it's just right! The prince couldn't do anything to me. With your ability, it would be overestimable to use force in front of me! Ice element body - Ice and Snow Shield!"
How could Long Jiu, who had been fully prepared, stand in place and wait for death? Almost as soon as the roar was released, he also began to respond with his own response. A silver figure appeared in front of him, accompanied by the ice elemental body's body. A huge ice and snow shield blocked Long Jiu and the second princess, facing the silver spear in the hands of the sixth prince!
"Ding-Click-Click-!"
After a crisp collision sound, the insufficient ice and snow shield naturally shattered into pieces of ice and snow fragments, but even so, it at least blocked the Sixth Prince, which could be called a sneak attack! Seeing that the opponent was fully prepared, the Sixth Prince snorted coldly and did not continue to take action, but a trace of shock flashed deep in his eyes!
"Smack it off"
"It is said that Young Master Long Jiu has taken a unique approach to practicing the "Elemental Secret Book" and has the ability to summon special elemental summoning bodies to fight. The Japanese prince is not honored to see Young Master Long Jiu's strength. When I saw him today, it was indeed extraordinary! Bruho, you believe it now. This person really has the ability to defeat the eldest brother head-on!"
While clapping his hands, the fourth prince praised Long Jiu's superb combat ability without hesitation, as if the scene before was not taken seriously by him. In a few words, the matter had changed from the sixth prince's sneak attack to a great praise for Long Jiu!
"Yes - I can make such rapid response ability to my silver-piercing spear, Long Jiu, I admit your strength! But if you want to say that this little power can defeat the strength and reach the 38th level of the quantitative realm and have practiced the "True Dragon Burning Heaven Art", there is probably a gap! Do you dare to fight me in a dignified battle!"
The silver spear in his hand pointed at Long Jiu's face. This opening made Long Jiu understand why the sixth prince had not spoken since before. In his opinion, this person's mind was a little simple, he was just a pure warrior. It is very likely that he was lured by the fourth prince next to him with some sweet words and became his help! But it is undeniable that from the perspective of combat ability, the strength of this sixth prince Byron Bruchow can be called a top expert! After all, he has not yet used the royal family's direct legend "The True Dragon Burning Heaven Art"!
"Okay, Bruho, today we are here to visit Mr. Long Jiu, just discuss some things. Since Mr. Long Jiu is unwilling, we naturally cannot force it! But there is still a lot of time. I believe Mr. Long Jiu will slowly figure it out by himself. Now that the Kong family has been destroyed, among the remaining four major families, the Bai family is dedicated to standing on the side of his second brother to fight the invasion of the White Tiger Empire. The remaining Zhou, Wang and Long family have to think about it carefully.
With your own future, the head of the Wang Jun family of the Wang family has always supported this prince, and the prince of the Zhou family has sent someone to show his kindness. Master Long Jiu, your Long family has always obeyed the words of his father the most, but you, Long Jiu, may not be able to have your own opinions. You must think clearly about which side you stand on in the end! Don’t want to stay out of the matter. From the moment you step into the imperial city, you are destined to run around for this. Hahaha, we will have a date in the future!”
Facing Long Jiu's words softly, the fourth prince directly stopped the sixth prince who wanted to find Long Jiu to learn martial arts, and instead took the escorts of nearly a hundred imperial guards and slowly left in the direction he came!
After watching the group disappear from sight, Long Jiu then breathed a sigh of relief, but his brows were unconsciously frowned. The last words that the fourth prince seemed to be talking to himself before leaving were a bit intriguing!
"Jiulang, I'm afraid this is destined to be a troublesome situation. Not long after the affairs of the eldest brother and the third brother, the fourth brother was a little unable to sit still... Alas, why do you have to do this for an empty position? Don't they know how tired the father has been in the past years?"
A trace of confusion flashed in the second princess' eyes, and she sighed softly with some helplessness. Anyone could see the unconcealed ambition in the words of the fourth prince who left. Although she didn't know what he relied on, she would still dare to act so high-profile at the forefront of this storm, and at least she would be more than 50% sure!
"Haha, for some people, these power struggles are always inexplicable inducing power! We can't imagine it, and we don't have to think about it! But that guy said it right. It is absolutely impossible to stay out of it in this wave! Since you have entered this vortex, you must try your best to survive! Humph, no matter what tricks you want to do, I hope you don't do it too much, otherwise, the fate of the Kong family is the best example! There will be no good ending when you provoke me!"
Looking at the distant sky, a light flashed in Long Jiu's eyes. This is his personality. He is too lazy to do what he wants to deal with. As long as he doesn't provoke him, he is too lazy to care. But no matter who it is, once he crosses his bottom line, the consequences are definitely very serious! From the 21st century thoughts, he has the ability to kill his opponents!
"Hmph—are they two guys who are overestimating their abilities? But the storm is really worth it. Long Jiu, our comfortable life will not last long. Now we must rebuild Lanling City so that we have the leisure to deal with other things!"
At some point, the Ninth Princess in military uniform also walked to the side of Long Jiu and the others. From her tone, she could tell that the arrival of the fourth prince and the sixth prince had been seen by her. However, unlike the second princess with a sad face, the Ninth Princess, who has a more resolute personality, looked completely fearless! This is somewhat similar to Long Jiu!
"Hehe, before that, I don't know when my two wives can let me do a good job..."
"Ba"
