Lanling City

After more than half a month of reconstruction, this city, which was originally almost the same as the wilderness, has become decent. Although it is not possible to compare with those large towns, it has at least taken shape and the city wall has taken shape.

In the city lord's mansion in the center of Lanling City, Long Jiuzheng looked at the imperial edict that had just arrived in his hand in annoyance, and threw it aside with some dissatisfaction.

"His grandma's bear! I knew that those old guys and those two princes would not make me feel better so easily. Now it's good! I tried my best to repel the navy of the Xuanwu Legion, but in exchange for a demerit, no punishment or reward!? Damn bastards, all want to go against me!?"

Since returning from the Xuanwu River, Long Jiu has not entered the palace to meet the old emperor because he was really resistant to the red tape. What he did not expect was that because he was not present, he was given these hats to himself by those jealous officials and ministers. The result of being ineffective was really in vain!

Looking at Long Jiu's appearance, the second princess next to him looked at each other and the gentle Bai Yuhan, and he stepped forward and hit the man's back with a tacit understanding. "Okay, Jiulang, there is no regret. Anyway, there are no casualties in the people who went to Lanling City this time. Instead, the Zhou family lost a lot of money! It also made your name as the prefect of Xiaoyao to be passed on to the Xuanwu Empire! For you, it has already given enough benefits, why bother to worry too much?"

No matter when, the second princess's words always calmed Long Jiu's heart, and this time it was the same. A few words made the man unable to help but smile.

He shook his head gently, a light flashed in Long Jiu's eyes, and he said softly: "Xia'er, you said this, "I'm going to the heart of my heart! Zhou Hong's old ghost wanted to drag me into the water, but their Zhou family vomited a lot of money! Humph, it's not so easy to take advantage of me! And the crown prince of the Xuanwu Empire is indeed a character! "Is "The God of Water"... One day, I will personally learn about its power!"

Not to mention how Long Jiu and his subordinates and women discussed that battle, the atmosphere was far away from the Bai family's garrison on another border of the Dragon Empire. However, the atmosphere seemed a bit solemn! In a big room, there was an old man and three slightly younger men. If Long Jiu was here, he could recognize these three men. They were the three Baishi brothers who had met on Wanhu Mountain - Bai Tian, ​​Bai Di and Bai Ren!

The old man standing in the middle looked around the three Baishi brothers in front of him for a week and spoke in a deep voice: "I believe you already know what happened on Xuanwu River! Long Jiu, the youngest son of the Long family, was the youngest boy who was once called a waste of money. His actions in the past year have been more amazing every time. What do you think about this matter?"

The old man's face is similar to the three Bai Shi brothers in front of him. Needless to say, he must be the biological father of these three, that is, Bai Qigang, the current head of the Bai family, a person who can compare with Long Yaotian, the head of the Long family!

Among the three brothers, he is naturally the most powerful. After pondering for a while, he said first: "Father, we have also investigated Long Jiu's past since the Wanhushan incident. At that time, everyone knows that Long Jiu's young master Long Jiu is a useless young master who can't learn anything! But in the slave market more than a year ago, he began to show amazing talent and strength! What happened in this is unknown! Now Long Jiu's performance is even more amazing. The Xuanwu Legion, which can make the Zhou army unable to do anything, was defeated and returned. This person's future is probably unlimited..."

Although he was unwilling to admit it, Bai Di was not sure that he could defeat the hidden deep Long Jiu head-on. After hearing that he defeated the eldest prince and the Kong father and son one after another, he was even more wary of Long Jiu! He could escape from the "Water God's Fu" by the Crown Prince of the Xuanwu Empire on the surface of the water. How strong Long Jiu's strength has become a mystery!

"Well, it's true... A wasteful man who once knew nothing could suddenly become a master of a top magic martial practitioner! There must be an intriguing reason among them! But the Long family will definitely not reveal this secret! Alas, I thought that the six sons of the Long family died one after another, and the Long family might not recover. Now it seems that the Long family is really the first family of the Dragon Empire, and there are endless powerful people... But if this continues, the Long family will threaten us even more seriously, I'm afraid..."

Listening to the second son's analysis, Bai Qigang's brows frowned tightly and sighed with some depression. Since he succeeded as the head of the family, he has been fighting openly and secretly with other four major families. Now the Kong family has paid the price of destruction because they want to fight against the Long family head-on, and Long Jiu has made such a big noise again and again, and he also felt a huge pressure.

"Father, according to the child's opinion, there is actually no need for us to panic! Although Long Jiu is powerful, he has no awareness of becoming an official at all, nor has he planned to go to the front line to make military achievements! He guards a ruined Lanling City, what can he do! This time he repels the Xuanwu Legion, and His Majesty did not reward him according to his merits, but instead he has a merit and demerits. Not only our Bai family, everyone's eyes are staring at him, the first family of the Dragon Empire! As long as Long Jiu and the Long family make a mistake, they will naturally pay the price!"

The boss, who was relatively simple and arrogant, was not so worried during the day. He stood there in a loud voice with his hands in his arms, and did not reveal the same worries as his father and second brother in his words.

But the third brother on the other side didn't think so. He stayed in the end to express his opinion, obviously he still attached enough importance to the Long family and Long Jiu. "No, brother, think carefully about the actions of Long Jiu and Long family over the past year. Long Jiu has had so many things, and even killed His Highness the Crown Prince in public, but His Majesty did not say a word! The Kong family and the third prince wanted to slander and destroy the Long family. At the most critical moment, they were beaten by Long Jiu, causing the Kong family to be destroyed overnight, and nothing was left! Such a powerful person, if we can't attract our attention, maybe it would be too late when we noticed..."

"But--"

During the day, he wanted to argue something, but Bai Qigang stopped him, "Okay, Tian'er, you don't have to say anything more! Di'er and Ren'er made a lot of sense! This Long Jiu is much more powerful than we imagined! When I have time, I must meet this person in person! If he really has no ambitions, it would be fine, and he could become a sword of the empire! But if he was not so calm in his bones, I'm afraid we need to prepare early. Prince Kerol and Prince Brujo came to me a few days ago. Maybe I should consider their opinions carefully. Oh... you guys retreat first and let me think about it."

After waving his three children to leave, Bai Qigang sat on the chair with a little depressed expression and reached out to massage his temples. He didn't stop for a long time. It can be seen that the affairs of the Long family and Long Jiu were indeed a major event in his heart!

Besides, after returning to her house during the day, a beautiful young woman in a white dress was already sitting upright at the table full of a sumptuous dinner. This woman was about thirty years old. Although she was over youth, her rich eyebrows and big pearl-like eyes, coupled with her fair face, looked like a charming and charming mature beauty. But between her eyebrows, there was a bit of melancholy and lonely...

Speaking of this woman's identity, she is also the most noble in the entire Dragon Empire. She is the elder sister of the second princess next to Long Jiu, and the eldest princess of the Dragon Empire. Unlike the unmarried second princess, this woman had already married Bai Tian as a wife five years ago.

"My husband is back. Wash your face first and then eat. You should be tired after working hard all day."

Standing up gently from the table, the eldest princess reached out to take the coat she had taken off during the day and spoke softly.

"No need to be so troublesome. I have no appetite at all now! You can have a meal first, I'll go to the backyard to practice for a while before I'll have a meal!"

"What's wrong with my husband? I haven't been in a mood recently? Is there something big happening in the army? You can talk to me, maybe I can help..."

Looking at his husband's impatient appearance, the smart eldest princess could naturally guess that she was in a bad mood during the day and asked with some concern.

"Hey, don't mention it! It's because of Long Jiu's affairs that my father and brother are too worried! What threat can a hairy child with a bad breast? Humph, if he messes with my Bai family, I will make him suffer a little! I won't say it, you eat it first, I'll go!"
