In the palace of the Imperial City of the Dragon Empire, in a dark room, the old emperor with a frosty face was pale in front of a man sitting on the bed. The young man on the bed looked only about twenty years old, and his face was similar to the old emperor. This person was the ninth prince Byron Raychet who was assassinated for the conspiracy between the third prince and the Kong family a few months ago.

"Father, cough cough...what the hell is going on? If there is something, you can say slowly, and the son-in-law will listen carefully."

Obviously, the severe injury that was almost assassinated before has not yet fully recovered. When the Ninth Prince spoke, his tone seemed a bit difficult, and such a short sentence was quite difficult.

After reaching out to stop the son who wanted to get up, the old emperor sighed deeply again, a trace of concealment flashed across his face. After a while, he spoke heavily: "It's all my fault for thinking inappropriately! I think that as long as you use thunder means to intimidate all those who oppose you, support Lei Jiete, you become the new crown prince, those guys dare not say anything more! But now, even the people from the four empires are starting to feel restless! I'm afraid..."

Speaking of this, the old emperor did not continue to speak. The ninth prince's intelligence had already guessed something from these simple two or three sentences, and whispered: "If you have something to say, you might as well say it directly. My son has already made the mental awareness."

He looked at his son deeply. Although he encountered such a moment of life and death, the ninth prince still maintained the attitude he should be as a prince, without showing any panic at all. This also made the old emperor quite satisfied!

"Okay - Lei Jiete! You are worthy of being the one I value the most! I know that your literary talent and martial arts are not the most outstanding among all the nine brothers, but your calm demeanor is the real talent of the emperor! It's a pity that the only one who can understand me is the Dragon Family! Alas, if you want to become the future lord of the empire, Lei Jiete, you will definitely encounter crises one by one. Maybe there will be only a lot more and no matter what you think of in the future! Have you really made the worst plan? If you want to give up and become a carefree prince like Augustuston, I will not force you..."

"No - Father! Although my son cherishes his life and does not want to joke about his life, the empire is already in chaos now. If my father expects his son to do something, he will definitely go through fire and water! Even if he bets on his life, he will do whatever he wants!"

The ninth prince dragged his body, which was still seriously injured, barely bowed to his father on the bed, and spoke respectfully! His words were full of determination and determination! He was still so determined even though he knew that there would be countless dangers waiting for him. This demeanor at least had a little bit of the demeanor of taking over the position of emperor!

He didn't rush to speak. The old emperor just stood there with a hesitant look at his child for a long time. After the last hesitation disappeared, he slowly sat on the edge of the ninth prince's bed, patted his shoulder and spoke in a deep voice: "Okay, since that's the case, I will tell you the seriousness of the matter! You should have heard that the battle on Xuanwu River not long ago was the military situation of the Zhou family army being defeated, right?"

"Well, I have watched the memorials reviewed by my father these days and have also gained a 70% or 80% understanding of the matters of the empire! But hasn't Lingxiao City on Xuanwu River been recaptured by Long Jiu, the young master of the Long family, used extraordinary strategies and means to join hands with the Zhou family army? Did they fight?"

"Oh, that's not! After the Xuanwu Empire experienced that defeat, there would be no movement in a short period of time! But things are just bad here! With the initial victory of the Xuanwu Empire's battle, the White Tiger Empire in the northwest began to become restless! I received a report from the Bai family that the White Tiger Empire had gathered hundreds of thousands of troops on the border, and there was a possibility of attacking at any time!"

"What--?" Looking at the haze on his father's face, the Ninth Prince knew that this matter was definitely not a joke. Since the last battle, the White Tiger Empire has not had such a huge move in nearly ten years. If the attack is now with domestic and external troubles in the Dragon Empire, it is probably difficult for the Bai family army to fight, because they cannot have any reinforcements ready to support at any time! The current imperial city is the time when the guards are most needed!

"It's like this...it's like it's agreed. Did the Xuanwu Empire become the White Tiger Empire afterwards? Father, this..."

Before the Ninth Prince finished speaking, the old emperor nodded and slowly said, "Yes, this matter is definitely not a coincidence! And what makes me most trouble is that the Bai family, which has never been afraid of the White Tiger Empire's army, asked me for additional troops this time! According to their statement, the White Tiger Empire gathered more than 500,000 troops this time, and the 200,000 troops of the Bai family's army cannot be completely blocked! But now, there is no spare force in my hands to send out reinforcements! The troops of the other families cannot be dispatched at will, otherwise there will be endless troubles!"

"What should I do? Father, should I recruit local city moat troops now? But if the city moat troops that have never been on the battlefield are really transferred to the battlefield, they will probably suffer heavy casualties and may not have any results..."

The ninth prince's eyes turned several times in a row, but could not find a better way. He spoke with some concern.

"You're right! Although the total number of moats in all parts of the entire empire is more than one million, it cannot be fully transferred in such a short time! And without formal training moats, it is impossible to stop the army of the White Tiger Empire! So, those guys thought of a so-called compromise, a better way! That is to let you, Lei Jiet, let you, the next prince in the nominal, take the battle to boost the soldiers' momentum! With your joining, the combat power of the Bai family army can be doubled! This is the advice given to me by those ministers! And it is the advice of more than half of them, which makes me unable to refute on the spot..."

A hint of unwillingness flashed across his face. The current old emperor was already a little overwhelmed because of his age. If it were Emperor Lanlik twenty or thirty years ago, no one would dare to say the word "no"! People who fought in the east, west, south, north and west, and fought against the other four empires had no power to fight back! But now, it is impossible for him to spend his old age in peace. All kinds of contradictions and rebellions continue to appear within the Shenlong Empire, but the troops of the four empires, which were originally beaten very peacefully, were all about to move. God knows when the four empires will attack together. That was the biggest test for the Shenlong Empire!

After hearing what his father said, the ninth prince completely understood the cause and effect of the matter. He lowered his head and thought for a while in silence, then lifted his quilt and stood up shakingly on the edge of the bed. The pale face could not cover up the fighting spirit and flames!

"Father, let me go! Although Erchen is not sure that he can do it well, if this is the expectation of the Bai family, Erchen will not retreat! A true emperor must accept the experience of blood and fire! This is the fate that Erchen cannot escape! Let me go to the battlefield of the White Tiger Plain!"

He looked at the ninth prince with straight waist in surprise. The old emperor did not expect that this child, whose serious injuries had not completely healed, would have such awareness and confidence!

"Rejet, the battlefield on the front line is not a joke! Especially once you appear on the battlefield, you are the target of the enemy's full attack! Whether you are captured or killed by your opponent, it means you are not qualified to inherit my position... Have you thought about it?"

Taking a deep breath, the ninth prince's eyes gradually became firmer. He looked at his father for more than a minute before he nodded slowly and said slowly: "Don't worry, Father, I have already considered it clearly! This is the best opportunity to prove myself! It is also the best way to suppress those opposition parties! I am willing to fight side by side with my father! This time, I will go!"

Three days later, Long Jiu, who was far away in Lanling City, was still intoxicated by the gentleness of the second princess, but in the early morning, he was woken up by the voice of Sanbao outside the door.

"Master Nine, Master Nine, come out quickly and take a look! An urgent matter has been heard from the palace again! You need to accept it yourself!"

He poked his head out of the bed in a daze. Since the assassin incident, it has been a rare and comfortable life for more than a week. Long Jiu has a premonition that maybe his good life is about to come to an end again.

"Grandma, it won't make people feel happy early in the morning! Xia'er, how could your elderly dad have so many messy things? This young master is just a young prefect who has just taken office. How can he be entitled to be "careful" from him often..."

Although he complained, Long Jiu did not dare to show off his airs to the urgent items coming from the palace openly. Under the gentle service of the second princess, he put on his clothes casually. When he opened the door, he saw a round little fat man Sanbao and a man in purple guard casual clothes. He was holding a golden prince's note in the man's hand. Obviously, this was the urgent item Sanbao said.
