Long Jiu, who was already determined to try the strength of the Xuanwu Crown Prince in front of him, immediately gave up this idea and stood on the bow of the boat with his hands in his arms, but he had no intention of trying to do it!

"Grandma, I have worked hard to destroy the warships and fighting spirit of these Xuanwu Legion. Those bullshit Zhou family troops still have no way to defeat them! Now they dare to shout at me? Humph, what can I do if I don't take action!"

Due to Long Jiu's stop, Samuel's action without resistance was naturally smooth sailing. He used all his strength to activate his fighting spirit, and used the huge palm formed by the Water God Fu to wrap a tens of thousands of troops towards the continent of the Xuanwu Empire in the distance. In the blink of an eye, there was no trace! Even if he wanted to chase him at this time, he might not be able to do it.

"Long Jiu, you are the second person I admire in so many years! I didn't expect that in addition to the Dragon Marquis of Long Wei, there is such a person! Unfortunately, I didn't have the opportunity to try out if your Long Jiu's ability is as powerful as the rumor! Next time I meet, I will definitely get back with the principal and the interests! Say goodbye-!"

He looked deeply in the direction of Long Jiu and Sanbao. Because the consumption of fighting spirit was too severe and the fleet of Zhou's army in the distance had begun to approach quickly, it was naturally impossible for Samuel to delay it, otherwise he would really not be able to leave!

After saying this, a series of sky-blue apertures wrapped around him, along with Latomi beside him! But at this moment, a sword energy that soared into the sky was already coming from afar. The sound of a gentle rumbling sound was accompanied by a clever sword energy, and it came directly towards Samuel's chest!

"bite--"

However, what surprised Long Jiu was that such an amazing roaring sword energy could not penetrate the sky blue aperture that wrapped Samuels and the others. The aperture composed of sword energy and water light collided with each other, but the sword energy was completely blocked!

"I have long wanted to experience the "Sword Art of Heavenly Yin" by the Zhou family! Zhou Hong, let's put this battle in the next meeting! Before that, let me live well! The Water God's Tale - Water Wave Shock!"

Just slightly raised his right hand, a terrifying wave of water had already swelled up from around Lingxiao City and directly pressed towards the warship where Zhou Hong was. At the same time, Samuel and Ratomi had completely hidden in the waves and disappeared!

"Singing to the sky--!"

Facing the terrifying waves falling from the sky, Zhou Hong, who stood at the bow of the boat with his head held high, was obviously not afraid at all. He just waved his right hand slightly, and whispered a light sword energy from his side to the sky, directly scattering the surging waves with his strong sword energy! Long Jiu, who saw this strength, was also very amazed. With decades of skills, the ability of this old general Zhou Hong is much stronger than that of Kong Guoxiong, the half-baked head of the family!

"Prince Xiaoyao, what do you mean? He actually watched the crown prince of the Xuanwu Empire escape from his eyes?"

After the Zhou family's fleet met with the warship where Long Jiu was located, Zhou Hong's face still had a faint anger and dissatisfaction. It would be a huge loss to let go of such a great opportunity.

"Oh, I'm really embarrassed to General Zhou. You also know that the Crown Prince Xuanwu has amazing abilities. He can take away tens of thousands of troops with just a turn. Even if I take such shocking divine power, I will only hit the stone with an egg. Why do I lose my life for this..."

He held his hands and looked at Zhou Hong with a smile. Although he was saying such words, Long Jiu had no intention of panic in his expression. Seeing Samuel taking action so many times, Long Jiu naturally felt the mystery of the so-called "Water God's Fu". It was to fully combine Dou Qi and the surrounding water-attribute environment to exert shocking divine power! In other words, it is precisely because it is on the endless water surface of Xuanwu River that Samuel can show his divine power so much! If it were not on the water surface, Samuel would definitely not have such terrible divine power.

"You - Humph! Xiaoyao Prefect, you are the one who can defeat His Highness the Great Prince with one person. If you are afraid of this Prince Xuanwu, it is probably unreasonable! Although "The God of Water" can release its own power exponentially on the water surface, it cannot be truly endless! The prince at that time was already at the end of his strength. As long as you delay for a while, I will kill him personally!"

"That's really strange. I clearly saw General Zhou, you could not do anything to Samuel's, but now I'm saying such a crazy word in front of me. If these words were placed in front of His Majesty, it would be a bit inappropriate! Hehe, what I promised you is done, Lingxiao City has been recovered, and the next thing will be left to you! Goodbye!"

Waving his hand, Long Jiu deliberately did not look at Zhou Hong's blue face, and turned around and slowly headed towards the edge of the river bank with Sanbao. The only ship he and Sanbao were in, which was not connected to other warships, was not blown up. The rest of the warships were all dead with the Xuanwu Legion's fleet.

Looking at Long Jiu's back as he gritted his teeth, Zhou Hong could not say anything, but his hands were already trembling and tightly holding them! Flashes of light kept flashing in his eyes...

Five days later, it was still in the luxurious imperial palace, but the atmosphere at this moment seemed quite celebrating. When hearing the news of the Zhou family defeating the Xuanwu Legion, every minister and official had an unstoppable smile on his face!

"My dear friends, I believe you have heard of it! This time, the crown prince of the Xuanwu Empire personally led the 200,000 Xuanwu Legion to attack and captured Lingxiao City, the sea fortress of my Shenlong Empire! However, he was repelled under the strategy of Xiaoyao Prefect's wisdom and courage! Although he was unable to capture the Crown Prince of Xuanwu alive, this is also a great achievement! My dear friends, how should I reward him this time?"

Sitting in the dragon throne above, the old emperor's mood today was obviously full of joy, and what he showed was a rare smile on his face!

However, the old emperor had just finished his words. Zhou Hong, who was standing opposite, had already looked at the fourth prince and the sixth prince standing opposite, and was the first to stand up and whisper: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that this move is up to date! It is true that the prefect Xiaoyao made great contributions to regain Lingxiao City! But the method he used was too ridiculous. He spent millions of gold coins to build a thousand warships, but in order to die with dozens of warships from the other party, our Zhou family lost a large amount of funds as a result. How can such a waste of luxury war be called a great contribution!"

Hearing this, the smile on the old emperor's face suddenly became a little stiff. Before he could speak, the fourth prince on the side had already emerged from the crowd.

"Yes, Father! General Zhou's words are reasonable! Although the Xiaoyao Prefect Long Jiu used this method to temporarily repel the Xuanwu Legion! But at the last moment, he heard that he deliberately did not take action to stop the tens of thousands of troops of the Xuanwu Legion and the Crown Prince of the Xuanwu King Keitel Samuel! To put it lightly, this was not doing his best, and to put it seriously, this was a serious crime of colluding with the enemy and traitoring the country! It should be sentenced to be executed!"

After hearing what Zhou Hong and the Fourth Prince said one after another, the old emperor looked around for a week, the officials and ministers who lowered their heads and dared not interrupt. They frowned in a irritable state and said in a deep voice: "According to your wishes, can I still deal with the prefect of Xiaoyao for this?"

"No, no, no, my father calms down! Erchen doesn't mean this! It is a fact that the prefect of Xiaoyao Long Jiu has made meritorious efforts to repel the Xuanwu Legion. Punishment is inconsistent with reason, but it is also a fact that he spent a lot of money from the Zhou family and failed to fulfill his responsibilities at critical moments! Therefore, in Erchen's opinion, this battle with Xiaoyao can be said to be a demerit between merits and demerits. It is not a crime, nor should it be considered fair if there is no reward..."

"Yes! Your Majesty! The old minister also wants this! The millions of gold coins of our Zhou family are nothing, but the prefect Xiaoyao ignores the efforts of our Zhou family army on the battlefield and lets go of the more than 100,000 troops of the Xuanwu Army and the crown prince of the Xuanwu Empire. This cannot be regarded as not happening! Please ask Your Majesty to clearly understand that this time, Prefect Xiaoyao is actually ineffective and should not be rewarded to avoid being too proud of his merits and self-pride!"

"Damn it—!"

Suddenly he stood up from the seat. The old emperor's originally kind smile was now a little angry and distorted, but after saying this, he could not find a reasonable statement to excuse Long Jiu. As the monarch, he knew very well that he should never favor someone too much in front of everyone, otherwise it would be a huge disaster for this person! After all, the jealousy in the court is a very terrible thing!

"What about your opinions - the rest of you? Didn't they all agree with General Zhou and Kairole's statement? Xiaoyao's prefect fought to the death with two hundred people, and there was no reward that could be obtained from here?"

After the old emperor said this, there was silence under the court, and no voice could express his thoughts for a moment! Invisibly, this was considered a kind of default...
