On the second day, Longyuan Palace, a side hall.

The five kings walked quickly into the main hall, and when they saw Long Chen, who was on the throne, they couldn't help but cry with joy, and at the same time knelt on the ground.

It can be said that the experience of the past few days has made them unforgettable for the rest of their lives, from stepping into the door of death with half a foot, and now returning to their original state.

Life seems to have played a big joke on them, and their moods have gone up and down, so that they are still a little frightened.

"Father, you're finally back, if you come back a few days later, you may not be able to see us!" said the Third King Long Yaoqian with a sad face.

Long Chen's expression was flat, and he couldn't help asking, "How do you say this?"

Long Yaoqian replied: "Father, if Long Yan captures us, he must want to take us hostage and threaten you, we will naturally swear to the death, in this case, he will kill the killer!"

Hearing this, Long Chen nodded slightly, and then asked, "But I see that you are alive and well now, and there are no injuries on your body, how can this be explained?"

This question suddenly made Long Yao speechless, blaming himself for saying a panic, but he couldn't be invulnerable, and he was easily found by the other party.

Long Yaoqian didn't know how to answer, so he had to look at the others on the side, obviously wanting others to help him out.

Naturally, the others also wanted to perform well, hoping to leave a good impression in front of Long Chen.

Therefore, the Seven Kings Long Yaoyu arched his hand and replied: "Father Qiqi, Brother Sanwang is right, Long Yan has taken great pains to deal with us, and he has adopted the strategy of saluting first and then soldiering. He first treated us kindly, just to tempt us to agree to his request, and if he didn't comply, he would torture us and even kill us. It's a good thing you arrived in time, otherwise, we would have really died. ”

When the words fell, the Six Kings Long Yaoguang and the Eight Kings Long Yaohong all echoed their voices, and their emotions were extremely excited, but only the Second King Long Yaozong remained calm.

Hearing these words, Long Chen seemed to smile, and quickly asked a new question, "I've heard that you surrendered on your own initiative. If you are so strong, why do you surrender?"

This sentence once again silenced the four of them, and they looked at each other as if they had reached a unified opinion.

Long Yaoqian took the lead and said: "Father, we don't want to surrender either, it's just up to the second brother to ...... As our brother, he was the first to surrender, and he urged us to surrender, which is why we did this. ”

"Yes, yes!"

"This matter is true, I hope my father will see it!"

......

The four of them talked about it, and they all put the responsibility on Long Yaozong, and Long Yaozong was still very calm at this time.

Hearing this, Long Chen's gaze moved to Long Yaozong's body, and he couldn't help asking, "Second brother, do you have anything to refute their words?"

Long Yaozong straightened his hands, fell to the ground with a "snap", and said, "Father, what they said is true, I have nothing to say." ”

Seeing Long Yaozong admit it in person, the other four were all overjoyed, thinking that they could finally escape.

However, Long Chen was not as angry as they expected, but instead let Long Yaozong get up, and then said with great interest: "I want to know how you persuaded them to surrender, tell me quickly!"

Long Yaozong arched his hand and replied: "Father, I just told them, 'If you are worthy of your ancestors, continue to persevere, and wait until you die before you go to complain to your ancestors'."

After hearing this, Long Chen couldn't help but laugh, which made everyone feel inexplicable.

Later, Long Chen looked at Long Yaoqian and asked, "Let me ask you, does what he said make sense?"

Without thinking, Long Yaoqian immediately shook his head and said, "Father, his words are not only unreasonable, but also harbor evil intentions, and his real purpose is to persuade us to surrender. ”

After receiving this answer, Long Chen's face sank, and he continued to ask: "Do you think his words are unreasonable, so in this way, you chose to surrender not because of his words, but because of other reasons, maybe it was greed for life and fear of death?"

As soon as these words came out, Long Yaoqian's heart suddenly beat faster, and sweat gradually oozed from his forehead, but he didn't expect his thoughtless words to put himself in a very unfavorable situation.

Long Yaoqian saw Long Chen's anger, and hurriedly explained, "Father, no...... No, I was ...... At first, I thought his words still made sense, but now...... After thinking about it carefully, I felt that there was something wrong with his words. ”

Hearing this, Long Chen's expression eased slightly, and said, "Since this is the case, you should finish your words before, and what is half tucked and half tucked." I'll ask you again now, do you think he has any point?"

Long Yaoqian learned to be smart this time, and after thinking carefully for a while, he nodded and replied: "Back to my father, there is still some truth in the words of the second brother. ”

Long Chen was waiting for this answer, and then his gaze fell on the other three and asked, "Do you agree?"

No matter how stupid the three kings were, they had already seen Long Chen's true intentions, and he just wanted to exonerate Long Yaozong, which was simply an unexpected thing.

So, they all nodded.

Seeing this, Long Chen said: "I also think what the second brother said makes sense, since this is the case, I will spare you this time, if there is a next time, surrender first without fighting, and I will not be spared!"

The five kings tilted their heads on the ground at the same time, expressing their gratitude to Long Chen one after another.

Afterwards, Long Chen made the five kings stand up, motioned for them to stand aside, and immediately said to the outside world: "Since you are here, then come in." ”

Soon, a figure appeared at the door, slowly walking towards the main hall, it was Long She.

When the five kings saw Long She walking in casually, except for Long Yaozong, everyone else couldn't help but step forward and surround him.

Long Yaoqian scolded: "Long She, do you still have the courage to come here, don't you know what the dead character is written?"

Long She faced them and only responded with a smile, then faced Long Chen, bowed, and said, "See the patriarch!"

Long Chen nodded and motioned for Long She to get up.

Regarding the reaction between Long She and Long Chen, the four kings were all puzzled, but Long Yaozong turned to Long Chen and said, "Father, Long She is a traitor, and he was the one who arrested us in the first place. ”

Hearing this, Long Chen shook his head and said, "You guys are actually rude to the Great Elder, and you don't retreat quickly!"

Great Elder: What's the situation? The four of them are like monks who are two monks at a loss. And seeing the relationship between Long Chen and Long She, it seems to be very harmonious, and there is no hostility at all.

Although the four of them were puzzled, they were forced by Long Chen's order to bury these doubts in their hearts for the time being and return to their positions.

At this time, Long Chen explained unhurriedly: "In this accident, the reason why you were able to be preserved, do you think that all you rely on is luck? Wrong, if it weren't for his secret planning, you wouldn't know how to die." ”

As it turned out, the faces of the four kings all showed surprise, and when they looked at Long She again, they were completely free of their previous hostility.

They finally understood that this Long She turned out to be a pawn arranged by their wise father.

"Great Elder, I solemnly apologize to you for misunderstanding you before!" Long Yaoqian took the lead in bowing.

Immediately afterwards, Long Yaoguang, Long Yaoyu and Long Yaohong all apologized to Long She one after another, and Long She naturally did not take this seriously.

Instead, he smiled slightly, and said to the five kings: "Ladies and gentlemen, in order to act more realistically before, I wronged you, don't blame you!"

Long Yaoqian hurriedly replied: "What the Great Elder said, as my father said, if it weren't for you, we might have been dealt with by Long Yan a long time ago. ”

At the end of the chat, several people laughed, which can be regarded as a release of their previous suspicions.

Seeing this, Long Chen smiled with satisfaction, and then said, "Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, I am relieved." ”

As he spoke, his eyes looked at the five kings, and then said, "Tomorrow is the day of the execution of Long Chen and the others, so the five of you can go with the Great Elder and help from the side." ”

"No!" the five of them said at the same time.

Long Chen smiled, then asked Long She and Long Yaozong to stay, and motioned for the others to leave here.

Although the four kings who left didn't understand why Long Chen wanted to leave Long Yaozong, this was Long Chen's order, so he didn't dare to ask more, so he had to retreat honestly.

At this point, only Long Chen, Long Yaozong and Long She were left in the main hall.

After a short silence, Long Chen's eyes looked at Long Yaozong, and he said softly, "Second brother, do you know why I want to keep you?"

Long Yaozong pretended to be scared, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "Father, could it be that I made some big mistake?

Seeing Long Yaozong's abnormal behavior, if it were normal times, Long Chen only regarded him as a useless waste, but now it is different from the past, and now looking at Long Yaozong, he always feels that he is doing it on purpose.

Long Chen smiled: "Yesterday, I asked the Great Elder how you each behaved when you were in a desperate situation, and I also asked him what he said about the five of you, guess what he said?"

Long Yaozong shook his head and replied, "Erchen doesn't know. ”

"Whether you really don't know or not, the Great Elder is here, you can ask him. With that, Long Chen and Long Yaozong's eyes fell on Long She's body.

Facing Long Yaohua's inquiring gaze, Long She replied: "Your Royal Highness the Second King, I just told the patriarch that among the five people, you are the only one who can't understand it. ”

Hearing this answer, Long Yaozong still put on an ignorant look, making everyone feel that he was like a piece of wood.

Long Chen observed Long Yaozong for a long time, but after all, he couldn't find the answer he wanted, so he had to ask tentatively: "The words of the Great Elder reminded me, thinking back to the years I have spent with you, did I really look away from you before?"

Hearing this, Long Yaozong put on a panicked look, quickly knelt on the ground, sweat oozing from his forehead, and replied: "Father, you haven't looked away, I'm still the same me before, if I do something that makes you unhappy, you can say it directly, and the son will change it." ”

Seeing Long Yaozong like this, it was difficult for Long Chen to connect him with the one he thought in his heart, so he had to shake his head and say, "That's it, that's it, you can step down!"

Long Yaozong wiped the sweat from his forehead, and after retiring, he left here in a panic.

Looking at his departing back, Long Chen let out a sigh of emotion, "Second child, second child, what kind of person are you?"
