The Imperial Study.

Long Cailuan stood quietly beside the Dragon Emperor, his fair-skinned slender hand resting on the latter's shoulder, massaging and rubbing his shoulder.

The Dragon Emperor enjoyed the moment, leaning back in his chair and closing his eyes.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door of the study.

Knock knock...

"Your Majesty, my subordinates have something important to report."

A slightly hoarse voice came from outside the door.

The Dragon Emperor heard that it was the voice of the Black Dragon Guard, slowly opened his eyes, and said lightly: "Cailuan, you go back first." ”

"Yes, Father."

Long Cailuan suddenly stopped what he was doing, turned around and left the imperial study.

At this time, in front of the door of the imperial study, there was a middle-aged man wearing a black dragon brocade robe, carrying a war knife at his waist, and his face showed a fierce face.

"Master Fu has worked hard."

Long Cailuan showed a hint of a smile and nodded at the other party in a friendly manner.

"The third princess is polite, sharing worries for Your Majesty is within the scope of our Black Dragon Guard."

Seeing this, Fu Junhao also nodded in return, and said with a slight hint of respect in his tone.

Then, Fu Junhao entered the imperial study and closed the door.

Fu Junhao stepped forward in three steps and two steps, with a look of seven points of respect and three points of awe, leaned over and hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Ninth was assassinated by unknown forces when he left the palace, among which the highest cultivation was the middle of the three realms, and the lowest cultivation was the second realm inferior. ”

Hearing this, a trace of surprise appeared in the Dragon Emperor's eyes, and he muttered, "Oh? Lao Jiu and his maids were able to kill six cultivators above the second realm? It's a strange thing. ”

"According to the observation of his subordinates, the maid of the Ninth Highness has excellent roots and bones, extremely high talent, and has broken through to the first-grade grandmaster at a young age, if she is cultivated a little, her future achievements will definitely be far above me."

Fu Junhao was obviously moved, and he tapped tentatively on the side.

The Dragon Emperor looked down at Fu Junhao and said lightly: "Hehe, do you want to accept apprentices?" ”

Fu Junhao said in a deep voice: "My subordinates guarantee that within ten years, she will be able to cultivate her into a qualified heir." ”

The Dragon Emperor shook his head and said calmly: "I can't be the master of this matter, the person is Lao Jiu's, you have to ask Lao Jiu's meaning." ”

Fu Junhao thought about it and hesitated: "His Royal Highness the Ninth has that temperament, I'm afraid he won't let people go easily." ”

After a few seconds of silence, the Dragon Emperor said softly: "If you really want to take her as an apprentice, I will not stop you, but remember not to coerce and be rude, if she agrees to you, come and report to me again, Lao Jiu will persuade you on the other side." ”

Hearing this, Fu Junhao's face was overjoyed, and he immediately leaned over and said, "Your Majesty." ”

"What about the Assassins?"

"The subordinates were useless, and they couldn't escape, so they didn't hesitate to bite through the poison hidden in their teeth in advance and committed suicide by taking the poison."

"Suicide by poisoning?"

The Dragon Emperor frowned in displeasure.

"The subordinates suspect that this group of people is a dead soldier who has been raised by people."

"Dead..."

"Did you find out who was behind it?"

"The subordinates are trying their best to investigate, but in fact, there is something that the subordinates don't know whether to talk about or not."

Fu Junhao looked hesitant.

"Speak."

The Dragon Emperor said coldly.

"Our men have found it in the bodies of the dead."

Fu Junhao took out a token from his arms, handed it to the Dragon Emperor, and then took two steps back.

The Dragon Emperor glanced at it casually, a cold color crossed his eyes, and he said coldly: "This is the token on the boss's mansion?" ”

"It is the pass token on the Great Prince's Mansion, His Royal Highness the Nine also searched out a piece from the assassin's body, and the two are currently on their way to the Great Prince's Mansion, and at His Majesty's birthday banquet, His Royal Highness and His Royal Highness the Ninth had a quarrel over the matter of Lord Shangshu of the Criminal Department, and a military general was not angry with His Highness, so he was killed by His Royal Highness the Nine."

"The subordinates feel like someone wants to kill His Royal Highness the Nine, and then blame His Highness for framing His Highness."

Fu Junhao said in a deep voice.

"Hmph, one by one is starting to lose their breath."

The Dragon Emperor snorted lightly and said lightly: "Lao Jiu sent two more people over there, I don't want to see him have an accident in the Imperial City, and I will check carefully, I want to know who is behind the dead man." ”

"Yes!"

……

On the other side, Long Junjiu and Qingzhu dragged a carriage of corpses to the gate of the Great Prince's Mansion.

The two guards were standing tall guarding the gate of the Great Prince's Mansion, and when they saw Long Junjiu's carriage parked in front of the Great Prince's Mansion, they subconsciously cast a vigilant gaze.

"Go, call Long Zhantian out to me."

Long Junjiu got out of the carriage, looked at the two guards guarding the door, and shouted arrogantly.

"Who are you who dare to make a loud noise here and call His Royal Highness the Great Prince by his name?"

Seeing this, the two guards were taken aback and opened their mouths to question.

"Presumptuous, this is His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes today."

Qingzhu screamed, and attacked the two guards with the power of the grandmaster, which immediately made the faces of the two of them change greatly.

"Nine... The Nine Emperors? ”

The two guards looked at each other and hurriedly fell to one knee with a look of trepidation.

"See His Royal Highness the Nine, the humble position has eyes and no beads, and the Nine Highnesses forgive sins."

"Why don't you go and call Long Zhantian out to me, let this prince wait in a hurry, don't blame this prince for smashing your door."

Long Jun Jiu shouted arrogantly.

"Yes, go and inform Your Highness, go quickly."

"Uh-oh."

After a while, wearing a flowing cloud brocade robe, with long hair tied up in a single ponytail, Long Zhantian, who was heroic and cool, slowly led people out of the mansion.

When Long Zhantian saw Long Junjiu, a hint of hypocrisy appeared on his face, and he said in a clear voice: "What kind of demon wind blew you to the Great Prince's Mansion Ninth Brother?" ”

"Brother Emperor, we are a little conflicted at my father's birthday banquet, but it won't let you send someone to kill me, right? We are also half-brothers, and you are so ruthless, which really makes my heart chill the ninth brother. ”

Long Junjiu raised his head slightly to look at Long Zhantian, with a look of disdain in his eyes, and said coldly.

Hearing this, Long Zhantian's face changed, and he said in a deep voice with a cold face: "Ninth brother, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense, when did the eldest brother send someone to kill you?" You dare to frame me without evidence? ”

"Proof? Of course I have, the evidence is in the carriage behind me, why don't you come and see it for yourself? ”

Long Junjiu pointed to the carriage behind him and said unceremoniously.

Seeing the other party's troubled appearance, Long Zhantian looked puzzled, and couldn't help but have other thoughts in his heart.

Could it really be that someone used his name to assassinate Long Junjiu?

"Your Highness, I'll go."

The lieutenant general beside him spoke.

"It's okay, I'll go in person, can the ninth brother still harm me?"

Long Zhantian shook his head and walked to the carriage in person.

Suddenly, he smelled an incomparably familiar rich and pungent smell of blood, and he couldn't help frowning.

The next moment, Long Zhantian stretched out his hand, and suddenly four corpses appeared in front of him.

"This is the evidence we found from the assassins, it's your thing, brother, right?"

Long Junjiu took out the pass token of the Great Prince's Mansion and said indifferently.

Long Zhantian's face changed slightly, and when he saw what Long Junjiu was doing, the first thought that came to his mind was: Someone is going to frame me!

Long Zhantian hurriedly said: "I have never seen them, someone must be framing this prince, this prince has acted above board all his life, how could he do such a thing as a rooster and a dog thief?" Ninth brother, don't fall for the thief's plan to sow discord. ”

"There is no basis for the words, who doesn't know that the Shangshu of the Criminal Department is your person who is the eldest brother of the emperor, I killed his son, and at the birthday banquet of my father, you and I are well known, and the imperial brother you have a grudge for this, and it is understandable, but I didn't expect you to ignore the feelings of the same clan at all, if this matter is known by the father and other brothers, hehe."

Long Junjiu spread his hands, and his words were full of threat.

Seeing this, Long Zhantian was holding back the fire in his heart, and he could hear it.

Long Junjiu's trip was not only to ask about the guilt of Xingshi, but also to extort bamboo and blackmail, which was too shameless.

If the other party really suspected that he did it, how could he come to the door so blatantly to ask the teacher for the crime?

But no matter what, he is indeed the most suspicious in this matter, if he stabs his father, it will be difficult for him to clear his innocence for a while, and he will even give others a reason to attack him.

Long Zhantian secretly clenched his fists, even if he knew Long Junjiu's purpose in his heart, he had to choose to eat this dumb loss, which was a deliberate conspiracy against him.

How could he not know that this ninth brother of his own was so cunning before?

Could it be that his usual deference is a deliberately pretended appearance?

Soon, Long Zhantian's mood calmed down again, turned his head to look at Long Junjiu, and asked calmly:

"Say, Ninth Brother, what do you want from the Great Emperor Brother?"
