Five days later, with extreme reluctance, Long Jiu still embarked on the way to the imperial city. As the second princess expected, after giving him five days to think and prepare, the old emperor's second urgent letter had been delivered. This time, the content of the letter was very clear, so that Long Jiu would set off for the palace immediately!

It took another week to stagger, and Long Jiu returned to this imperial city that he had stepped into for unknown reasons. As soon as he saw the old emperor, he could no longer help but vomited out all his doubts and depression.

"Your Majesty, I wonder who wants to make trouble this time? Why do you want my soldiers to fight again? You also know that I haven't been in office for a long time, and those guys can't..."

He raised his hand to signal Long Jiu not to be anxious. The old emperor sighed deeply and nodded slightly to the eunuch beside him. The latter had already supported the still weak ninth prince and slowly came to the court.

"Long Jiu, this matter was decided by me and my father! I know you must be full of dissatisfaction now. Don't worry, I will slowly tell you the truth. If you still disagree after learning everything, then we will follow your opinion. After all, you are not a real general, and going to the battlefield is not your duty..."

Looking at the weak look of the Ninth Prince, Long Jiu was embarrassed to shout at the seriously injured patient, sighed helplessly, and said softly: "Forget it, since His Highness the Ninth Prince is dragging such a body to explain to me, let's talk slowly, what's going on!"

For more than an hour, Long Jiu basically made no sound, listening quietly to the current situation told by the Ninth Prince and the Old Emperor. However, the more he heard the back, the more surprised and even shocked the expression on Long Jiu’s face! How could he know that he was so anxious that he had become in the Dragon Empire!

"How is it possible - even the Bai family members... So, this time the White Tiger Empire is ready to move, and there are really many things involved! The Bai family took the initiative to ask me to help. Humph, according to what I know, General Bai and his six children are not ordinary people! It is really awesome to be able to be loved by His Highness the Ninth Prince!"

It was not until the ninth prince and the old emperor told all the causes and consequences together that Long Jiu sneered and mocked him. If he hadn't been concerned about the identities of the two big men in front of him, his tone would have been even more rude! No matter how he looked at it, such a request must have been not decided by the Bai family. Over the years, the Bai family army, like the Long family army, has never been afraid of the enemy army again! How could he fight alone at this time, wanting to let the crown prince supervise the battle himself, and wanting to ask for help from the outsider Long Jiu! Needless to say, there must be something tricky about it!

"Oh, I know that all this is definitely not that simple! But it is true that the army of the White Tiger Empire gathered on the plains! And this time they came, no one knew when the White Tiger Legion would invade! The Bai family also lost a lot of troops due to the Earth Vein Seed a few days ago. Now I ask for help, I can't say anything! Xiaoyao Prefect, this battle requires your tactical cooperation, I hope you can understand..."

The old emperor is also a big shot who has experienced countless ups and downs. With his intelligence, he has naturally seen through the meaning of it. However, in a high position, he has too many things to worry about. Instead, he cannot do whatever he wants as he did on the battlefield as before. Without further damaging the matter, he can only choose to sacrifice the interests of some people. It is obvious that this time Long Jiu has become the sucker among them again! Who made him have no power now, but he has the sensitive identity of the young master of the Dragon Family!

"Is that right? Well! I have known for a long time that from the moment I stepped into the palace, I was destined to go through countless troubles! But Your Majesty, Your Highness Ninth Prince, you have no problem in requisitioning my troops, but there are absolutely no more than 1,500 people who can be used for actual combat. You can carefully check this point in Lanling City. The total number of people in Lanling City is only 2,000, so it is more than enough to cooperate with the Bai family army to fight. It is absolutely impossible to become the main force on the battlefield to establish military achievements!"

"Well, I have long understood the situation in Lanling City! It is precisely because you don't have a large army that I agree to the Bai family's request to let you participate in the war! After all, even if your people are casualties, this number will not be very large! I don't know what the situation is on the White Tiger Plain now, but I believe in your talents! Xiaoyao Prefect, this time, I hope you can complete the task as perfectly as before! Defeat all invading opponents and let Lei Jiete return to the imperial city safely! Please!"

The last few words were said, which surprised Long Jiu a little. He did not expect that as the old emperor, he would say the words "please" to himself, completely in a tone of request.

He took a deep breath, and after a while, Long Jiu struggled and nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Okay! If this is a request from a king, I have no reason to refuse! If you want to live a stable life here, I will definitely not allow the imperial army to invade! Your Highness Ninth Prince, when will you be able to set off? We must arrive at the front line where the Bai family army is located before the White Tiger Legion takes action! Otherwise, it would be too late..."

Speaking of this, Long Jiu recalled his ominous premonition again, but now he could not know where this ominous premonition came from. He could only be secretly alert and warned himself that this battle could not be as casual as when he headed to Xuanwu River! If he was not careful, his soldiers and gangsters would be wiped out. This was definitely not what Long Jiu wanted to see!

The ninth prince opposite, after hearing Long Jiu's inquiry, smiled firmly, barely stood up straight, reached out to pat his chest, and said in a deep voice: "Although my body has not recovered yet, I am always ready for this country! As long as you say something from Xiaoyao Prefect, I can set off at any time!"

Ten days later, in the Bai family army's garrison far away from the White Tiger Plain, Bai Qigang, the head of the Bai family, who looked majestic, was sitting in the camp with a hint of worry on his face.

In front of him, Bai Di and the three brothers of Bai Ren were also standing there in armor, but Bai Qigang's three daughters were missing, and they thought they were commanding elsewhere.

"Is there no news about Long Jiu? According to His Majesty's letter, they should have set out a few days ago. Why haven't they arrived here for so many days? The White Tiger Legion has begun to take action and will attack within five days! If they have not arrived yet, I am afraid that this battle will still require the soldiers of my Bai family army..."

"Boom boom boom boom boom--"

Before Bai Qigang could finish his words, suddenly a roaring sound came from a distance, as if the whole earth was trembling. Standing on the spot, you would feel the ground beneath your feet shaking a little!

"What's going on-? Could it be..."

Under a brief doubt, Bai Qigang seemed to have thought of something. The expression on his face changed suddenly and he walked out of the tent with some eagerness. The three sons behind him hurriedly followed. Not long after he stepped out of the tent, the four people's hearts sank at the same time! Because in the distant horizon, countless dusts could be seen floating as if they were about to cover the entire sky. There was no doubt that this was a sign of the army's dispatch!

"Report to General - An urgent report came from the front line. The White Tiger Legion's army suddenly started for some reason and rushed towards us at the fastest speed! With the strength of the White Tiger Legion's mount, the Tiger, I'm afraid that it will be able to come here before the sun sets! Please order the general--!"

A soldier ran to Bai Qigang and the other two in panic and shouted in a very anxious tone! Obviously, he did not expect that the White Tiger Legion, which seemed to be stationed and rectified the moment ago, would initiate the dispatch without warning!

Holding his fist tightly, his eyes deeply looked at the countless dusts that seemed to be far away from the other side of the sky. Bai Qigang was silent for a while before sneering and said, "It's really surprising. We attacked while we were waiting for reinforcements, as if we knew it. Is this a coincidence? Or..."

"Father, there is no time to hesitate! If you don't give orders as soon as possible, you will be broken into our territory by them!"

Seeing his father hesitating and not moving, the three brothers were so stupid that they were the best at making their minds come forward and reminded him anxiously.

"Don't worry, if the leader of the White Tiger Legion was not a fool, he would not let his army attack tirelessly all day long, and fight us in severe mental and physical exhaustion! If nothing unexpected happens, they will stop and rectify... Before their next attack, we must wait for the prefect Xiaoyao and his reinforcements. This is a military order!"
