Chapter 440: Alliance
When Long Yaozong left the side hall and didn't go far, he was stopped by a voice from behind.
"Second prince, can you take a step to speak?"
Hearing his voice, Long Yaozong already knew who the comer was, and even guessed his intentions.
The corners of his mouth rose, and he immediately turned to the visitor and said, "Great Elder, I didn't expect you to leave so soon. ”
Yes, the person who stopped him was Long She, and he replied: "No way, in order to catch up with the pace of the second prince, I had to leave early." ”
Long Yaozong smiled: "It seems that you came to me on purpose, in this case, I should not spoil your good mood, let's go." ”
After saying that, Long Yaozong turned to a small path and walked away, followed by Long She, when they came to a relatively remote place.
Long Yaozong stopped in front of him, and Long She behind him also stopped.
"I think this is the place to speak, Grand Elder, if you have anything to say. ”
Long She nodded and said, "I just don't understand one thing, a person is obviously a dragon, why should he pretend to be a worm in front of others?"
Obviously, Long She's words meant something, and although Long Yaozong heard it, he didn't rush to answer.
He slowly turned around, looked at Long She, and said, "If there are too many dragons in this world, they are destined to fight to the death, are you still willing to be a dragon?"
Long She replied firmly: "I am willing, I would rather be a short-lived earth-shattering dragon than a long-lived disgusted worm." ”
Hearing this answer, Long Yaozong applauded, and then said, "You're right, but I don't want to live a short life. ”
At this time, Long She seemed to understand, and a knowing smile appeared on his face, and said, "Second Prince, you finally admit it, it seems that I didn't mistake you before." ”
Long Yaozong said meaningfully: "I didn't misunderstand you, I didn't think it was all luck to ascend to the position of Great Elder so quickly. ”
After that, the two looked at each other with sharp eyes, as if they could see through each other's hearts.
After a while, the two couldn't help but laugh.
After laughing, Long She suddenly bowed to Long Yaozong, lowered his noble head, and said, "If the second prince doesn't dislike it, I am willing to become your Lingyun Ladder that soars into the sky every day!"
It was this sentence that Long Yaozong was waiting for in his heart, and now he finally got the support of the Great Elder, he forcibly held back the joy in his heart, helped the other party up with his own hands, and said, "The Great Elder don't want to give me this great gift, I still have a lot of things to rely on you in the future." ”
Long Yaozong's implication was that he had already agreed to form an alliance with Long She. Long She was overjoyed and said with a smile: "If he is sent one day, I will do my best to die." ”
Hearing this, Long Yaozong showed a satisfied smile.
At this point, Long She's first goal was achieved, but there was still a doubt in his heart, and it was time to ask it at this time.
"Second prince, I don't know something, I deliberately created an opportunity for you to make a good impression on the patriarch, why don't you want to grasp it?"
Long Yaozong knew that he would ask such a question, his face was not surprised at all, and replied: "The reason is very simple, now is not the time. ”
Long She was puzzled and continued to ask: "It's okay if you don't want to expose yourself in front of others, but the patriarch is different, wouldn't it be more beneficial to you if you can get his attention?"
Long Yaozong replied: "If you want to attract his attention, it has been reached now, otherwise he will not be able to relieve me from the siege." I believe that an unpredictable person is more interested in him than a person who has seen through. ”
Hearing this, Long She finally understood Long Yaozong's true thoughts, and couldn't help but cast a trace of awe at him.
Now Long She is very glad that he did this, because such a person is worth investing in.
Long She arched his hand and said, "The idea of the second prince is really very human!"
Long Yaozong didn't seem to be interested in these words of praise, the expression on his face was still flat, and it was difficult to see what he really thought.
This kind of Long Yaozong gave Long She a sense of shock that he had never felt before, and this feeling was even stronger than that of the patriarch Long Chen.
Now, Long She's goal has been achieved, so he bid farewell to Long Yaozong.
However, before he could take a few steps, he heard Long Yaozong's voice sound behind him, "Great Elder, I think there is someone who needs your heart more now, why don't you fulfill him?"
Hearing this, Long She's face changed, and he turned his head very suspiciously, and asked, "What do you mean by this?"
Long Yaozong replied: "As an elder brother, my imperial brother is brilliant in resourcefulness, so he can firmly hold the throne in his hands. And the third prince brother is extremely ambitious, and he has always been eyeing the throne in his heart, but his wisdom is far inferior to him, so the two will have a fight. I think that without your support, the three kings will be defeated. On the contrary, if he has your support, his ambitions will be greatly magnified, and when the time comes, their showdown will come early. ”
Although these words were said very implicitly, Long She was not a fool, after some deliberation, he gradually understood, and the expression on his face changed from doubt to surprise.
"Wonderful! Wonderful! When two tigers fight, there will be an injury, and then the second prince will be able to reap the benefits of the fisherman!" Long She couldn't help but praise.
However, Long Yaozong shook his head at this, and said: "It's not me who wants to be a fisherman, don't forget that I still have several royal brothers, they are willing to play this role, I just want to be the one who catches cicadas with the praying mantis and catches cicadas and yellow finches behind." ”
At this point, Long She understood the fact that for the person in front of you, you will never know what he really thinks.
"Please rest assured, Second Prince, I will definitely complete the first task you gave me. Long She said respectfully.
Long Yaozong nodded in satisfaction, and at this point, the two separated.
Long Yaozong returned to the main road alone, in a good mood, and was walking slowly, when he suddenly saw a familiar figure in front of him.
The man also happened to see Long Yaozong, and then hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to him, and said respectfully: "The child sees the father!"
Seeing this figure, Long Yaozong's eyes were a little ruddy, because he was none other than his son Long Tao.
Long Yaozong hurriedly helped Long Tao up, patted him on the shoulder, and said softly, "Tao'er, are you okay?"
Long Tao replied: "The child is fortunate to be taken care of by Elder She, no, now it is under the care of the Great Elder, and everything is fine." ”
Hearing this, Long Yaozong understood one thing, it seems that this Long She has long had the heart to take refuge in himself, otherwise it would be impossible to treat his son so well.
Long Yaozong nodded again and again, "It's okay, just go back with me now." ”
However, Long Tao directly rejected Long Yaozong's request, and shook his head and said, "Father, I went to see the patriarch grandfather this time, and I can't go back with you now." ”
"What are you going to see him for......?" Long Yaozong suddenly thought of something, and his face changed suddenly.
There seemed to be a tacit understanding between father and son, Long Yaozong's words were not finished, Long Tao already knew what he was thinking, so he nodded and said, "Exactly, the child wants to go to the place of death." ”
Long Yaozong's expression became solemn, and he didn't rush to refuse, but said, "Tell me your reasons." ”
Long Tao was silent for a moment, and then replied: "First, the child has lived on Dragon Island for a long time and rarely set foot in the outside world, so I want to take this opportunity to see it; ”
Apparently, Long Tao spoke his mind, and he had expected his father to refuse his request on the grounds of safety.
To his surprise, Long Yaozong changed his normal state and did not stop him on Dragon Island as before, but sighed, and then said, "Okay, you are now an adult, so let it be." ”
Hearing this, Long Tao couldn't hide his excitement, thinking that he had received his father's approval, so it would be easier to get his grandfather's consent.
Long Tao clenched his fists and said gratefully: "Thank you, father!"
Long Yaozong said solemnly: "Don't be too happy, I'm most worried about your safety, if you don't have enough certainty, I still won't let you go." ”
These words undoubtedly poured a basin of cold water on Long Tao, causing his complexion to change suddenly, and he was about to refute, but he heard a voice behind him, attracting the eyes of both of them to the comer.
"Brother Tao, I haven't seen you for a long time, don't come unharmed?"
I saw a young figure with an evil smile on the corner of his mouth, walking towards them like a fly.
Long Tao still had an impression of the comer, but his face was full of doubts about his sudden appearance here.
"Ma Fangyu?"
As soon as the words fell, Ma Fangyu had already come to him, and when he saw him, he nodded and smiled: "Exactly, Brother Tao can still remember me, it's an honor." ”
Of course, Long Tao will not forget this, and he will not even forget it for the rest of his life, because Ma Fangyu is the one who made him taste failure for the first time.
Although he was defeated, he was convinced, unlike some people who would hate him.
So, it can be seen that a smile gradually appeared on Long Tao's face, and he first said to Ma Fangyu: "Brother Ma, I'm very happy to be able to see you here, I still want to talk to you again one day, and get back the face I lost to you before, but I didn't expect you to appear in front of me like this." ”
Hearing this, Ma Fangyu shook his head and said with a smile: "Brother Tao, now is not the time, I will have the opportunity to learn your tricks again in the future!"
Long Tao nodded and said, "Okay, let's make an agreement." ”
Ma Fangyu also nodded, then stretched out his right hand and high-fived the other party as an oath.
And Long Yaozong on the side listened carefully to the conversation between the two, without any intention of disturbing, until Ma Fangyu's attention shifted to him.
"Brother Tao, who is this old man? Can you introduce me?" Ma Fangyu asked curiously.
Hearing these words, Long Tao almost squirted out all the food he ate, although his father was indeed older than ordinary people, but in the cultivation realm, at best, he could only be regarded as a middle-aged person, and the title of the old man could not be placed on his body.
Not only was Long Tao stunned, but Long Yaozong was also surprised, calling himself "old man", and the young man in front of him was definitely the first person.
After a short silence, Long Tao coughed, and first pointed to Long Yaozong and introduced to Ma Fangyu: "Brother Ma, he is my father, the second prince of the Longqing Empire. ”
Hearing this, it was now Ma Fangyu's turn to be surprised, he never expected that the person in front of him who looked a little simple was actually the second prince today.
Wouldn't the title of him just now offend him? Ma Fangyu felt a headache when he thought about it, and hurriedly bowed to the other party and said: "It turned out to be His Royal Highness the Second King, just now the junior has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, don't blame it!"
Long Yaozong's gaze locked on Ma Fangyu's body, looking very interested in him, Long Tao took this opportunity to say to Long Yaozong: "Father, he is Ma Fangyu, a disciple of the Jiuxiao Sect, and he is also the one who was fortunate enough to obtain the Dragon Vein Inheritance some time ago. ”
Knowing Ma Fangyu's identity, Long Yaozong's face also changed slightly, and he couldn't help but be surprised in his heart, and his eyes looked at him even hotter.
