In Lanling City, which is tens of thousands of kilometers away from the dynasty, he finally took his two maids, Xiaoyu and Xueyue, from a safe place to his territory. Long Jiu originally planned to take this opportunity to vent his depression and depression over the past few days. Although he vented a little in the third princess' room a few days ago, it was the important place of the palace after all. After getting what he wanted, Long Jiu left quickly. Of course, there was another most important reason, that is, he was afraid that his whereabouts would be discovered by the terrible fourth princess, and that would be a disaster.

Unfortunately, Long Jiu's idea was still difficult to realize. Just now, I just solved the problem of insufficient gold coins and didn't have long been idle, but Sanbao walked in with a look of hesitation.

"Master Nine, things are a little bad. The messenger has come to the palace. Let Master Nine, please come to the palace as soon as possible. It seems to be a big matter of urgent need for Baili!"

Before a red apple on his left hand could be put into his mouth, the action was already frozen. He turned his head and looked at the three treasures in front of him with some difficulty. Long Jiu had some bad premonitions in his heart!

"What's going on? This young master has just taken office not long ago. His city has not been completely built yet. Why did the old emperor come to me to enter the palace again? Could it be that he discovered that incident... Grandma, isn't that young master going to be beheaded on the spot?"

Of course, Long Jiu didn't know the frontline warning news, and thought that he had sneaked into the palace to borrow money from the third princess, but the old emperor noticed it. This was scared. The point was that this was embezzlement and embezzlement of public funds, which would definitely be a serious crime to lose his head! If the old emperor really knew about this, he would come to the palace and come to the door to seek death!

"Haha, don't worry, Jiulang, if the father really knew about that, it would be impossible for him to just send a messenger to invite you, but to directly send the imperial guards to arrest us. This time I call you into the palace, I'm afraid there is something important to discuss. It's reasonable, you'd better go there."

The second princess deserves to have a certain understanding of her father. Seeing her future husband so worried, she immediately smiled and comforted her. These words also made Long Jiu feel a little relieved. As long as the old emperor knew about the third princess, everything else was easy to discuss! This is Long Jiu’s idea...

"Hehe, that's right! If the old emperor really knows that, it would be strange if he doesn't send someone to arrest me directly! But when I come to see me at this time, what can I do to deal with? I don't have such free time..."

Holding his chin, Long Jiu thought of all the things he could think of in his mind, but he couldn't figure out what the old emperor suddenly asked him to enter the palace. He didn't think about the things he couldn't figure out. Long Jiu shook his head and stood up from the chair.

"Xia'er, I don't know why I always feel bad. I'm afraid there is nothing good to wait for me when I enter the palace this time! No matter what, if I don't come back within a week, you have to take everyone to find a safe place to hide it first. Do you understand what I mean?"

Looking at Long Jiu's serious face, the second princess also realized that he was serious now and nodded slowly, but she stepped forward to comfort her and patted the man on the shoulder, and said softly: "Don't worry, Jiulang, now Jiumei and I are your wives. No matter how cruel my father is, he will not do anything to you! You have saved my god dragon empire twice!"

Hearing this gentle comfort, Long Jiu suddenly felt much calmer in his heart. Looking at the soft and beautiful side face, a warm current flowed through his heart inexplicably. Being able to get such a beautiful woman by his side was also the greatest happiness of Long Jiu in this life.

Without saying goodbye to everyone, Long Jiu just ordered the Three Treasures, the Second Princess and others, and then followed the messenger and rushed to the road without stopping. The speeding Qingfeng Beast, the two of them had returned to the familiar imperial city without any obstacles in less than three days! However, this time it was a bit different from what Long Jiu felt when he arrived a few times, because it was obvious that the atmosphere in the city became much more serious and restrained!

"Prefect Xiaoyao, please come here! Your Majesty has been waiting for a long time!"

Just as he got off the Qingfeng Beast, a guard came over to guide Long Jiu. Obviously, these guards have been waiting here day and night for Long Jiu's arrival. This situation made Long Jiu's heart turbulent. This posture has never encountered it even when he was escorted here as a criminal.

He walked to the palace silently. When Long Jiuyi looked up and saw the four people standing in front of him, he felt a little helpless again, because the four people in front of him had never seen the old man in armor, the other three people, except the old emperor, were the other two that he didn't want to face now, that is, the fourth prince and the sixth prince who came to invite him!

"Prince Xiaoyao, I have been waiting for you for a long time, so I won't talk much. You should have heard about the situation on the border of the empire. The 300,000 troops of the Zhou family army could not help the navy army of the Xuanwu Empire. So I had no choice but to come and ask for help from the resourceful prefect Xiaoyao! I don't know if you have a way to deal with this situation?"

The old emperor did not intend to talk nonsense, and he immediately approached the topic as soon as he came up, because the situation on the front line basically spread to the top leaders of the Dragon Empire, but this obviously did not include Long Jiu, who was not concerned about his own affairs! He blinked at the old emperor with some confusion, and he didn't react for a while...

Looking at his appearance, the old emperor was stunned for a moment, then smiled helplessly and told the battle between the Zhou family army and the Xuanwu Legion in a long story. At this moment, Long Jiu completely understood the whole story!

"No - this is absolutely not! I'm just a prefect who has just taken office. Even my own small city is still under reconstruction. There are only a few hundred guys under my command who have been a bandit. How can I have the ability to fight against the tens of thousands of Xuanwu Legion? The army that the Zhou family army can't even fight against is left to me to deal with. Isn't this let me die for nothing? Please think twice!"

Without thinking, he shook his head desperately. Seeing the fourth prince and the sixth prince standing here, Long Jiu would never have thought that all this was done by these two guys. He asked himself, a new prefect who had no army, to fight an army invaded by an empire. Such an unprecedented decision could only be the bad idea of ​​these two princes with ill-hearted intentions!

"Hey, I have thought about this problem, but General Zhou Hong has already said that if you are really willing to help them, if you are the governor of Xiaoyao, you will not only owe you a favor, but he will also accept a 300,000 army for you to dispatch. I will also give you full support in material terms! I heard from Kairole that you have some lack of money and materials when building Lanling City this time, right?"

The last sentence was said, but Long Jiu's heart suddenly became irritated. Fortunately, this did not sound very absolute. Obviously, the fourth prince and the sixth prince left some room for Long Jiu when they revealed this matter, and did not completely tell him about his previous predicament!

In fact, Long Jiu is no longer worried about money now, but if he tells the old emperor directly that he is not short of money, it would be strange if the old emperor is smart and unsuspecting! Once he investigates the source of his money, his affairs with the third princess will be exposed, and he will really lose his head at that time! At this moment, Long Jiu really wanted to kill the two villains with ulterior motives. Unfortunately, he also knew that he could not do this...

"This - Your Majesty, although I am a little short of money, I think I can still solve it. Going to the battlefield..."

"No need to be so troublesome. As long as the prefect of Xiaoyao, you are willing to find a way to solve the problem of Lingxiao City, I can promise that you can arbitrarily dispatch half of the savings in the palace vault! As long as you have a reason for it, I will not ask! How? And this time, you are not allowed to participate in the war directly. Just rely on the prefect of Xiaoyao, your wisdom, to find a way to deal with the mage group of the Xuanwu Empire and the ships that are fighting under the water. The rest is just handed over to the Zhou family army's army's army! Such a requirement should not be very difficult, right?"

It is obvious that before Long Jiu arrived, the old emperor had been convinced by the two princes and the General Zhou Hong in front of him. There was a hint of toughness in his words. This was a terrible rhythm that forced Long Jiu to use all his skills to help! Even if Long Jiu was determined to escape and refuse, God knew what kind of trouble would be waiting for him in the future!

He subconsciously looked around the faces of the four people standing in front of him for a week. Long Jiu didn’t know his current situation. The consequences of standing at the forefront of the storm and wanting to shirk him were absolutely tragic!

"Well - since Your Majesty, His Highness, His Highness, and this Old General Zhou Hong look down on me so much, I will give it my best! But I hope Your Majesty can keep his promise. In this battle, everything must be followed by my command and meet all my needs! Otherwise, we will have no chance of winning!"

"Okay - I will do my best! Just speak up if you want anything!"
