When they landed in the palace, the guards immediately bowed to them.
Long Xiang led Ji Tianxing to the best guest room.
After settling Ji Tianxing down, he went to the Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace to report to Darknorth.
Ji Tianxing was not in a hurry. He sat in the guest room and waited patiently for the news.
…
The Dragon Emperor Divine Palace was brightly lit. There were guards both inside and outside the palace. It was heavily guarded.
The Dragon Emperor's study room was still lit.
Through the paper window of the study room, a burly figure could be vaguely seen. He was still bent over the table, writing, and dealing with government affairs.
The guards outside the study room were already used to such a situation.
For nearly a thousand years, His Majesty, the Dragon Emperor, had always been diligent and devoted to his people. He would do everything by himself.
No matter what the outside world thought of the Dragon Emperor, at least in the eyes of the guards, the Dragon Emperor was definitely worthy of respect and love.
At this moment, Long Xiang came to the study room. He bowed respectfully and reported the purpose of his visit.
The guard quickly reported to the Dragon Emperor North Sea. The busy figure in the study room paused for a moment and quickly summoned Long Xiang.
Long Xiang stepped into the brightly lit study room, walked to the large purple jade desk, and respectfully kowtowed in front of it.
Behind the desk, a middle-aged man in a golden dragon robe with a divine crown on his head put down his work and raised his hand to signal Long Xiang to rise.
This Dragon Emperor North Sea was tall and burly. However, he was handsome and his skin was as white as jade.
Fortunately, he had purposely kept a beard. Otherwise, he would be a handsome young man. He would not have the majesty of a middle-aged Dragon Emperor.
"General Long Xiang, rise!
General, you have been on a mission in the Changhai Region for three years. You have worked hard and made great contributions!
Come, bring General Long Xiang to a seat! "
North Sea sat on the armchair and looked at Long Xiang with a smile.
Seeing that Long Xiang was injured and his injuries were quite serious, Darknorth arranged a seat for him and did not allow him to stand to report.
This was obviously a great favor and high regard. Long Xiang was overwhelmed by the favor and quickly bowed to express his gratitude.
After the guard brought a chair over, Long Xiang sat down nervously and began to report the results of the investigation to Darknorth.
In the past three years, the Flying Dragon Special Forces had reported many clues to Darknorth.
However, now that he had returned to the Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace, he had to sort out the information and report it to the Dragon Emperor.
Darknorth listened patiently. Sometimes, he would nod his head to show his appreciation. Other times, he would ask Long Xiang to explain.
All in all, he was satisfied with Long Xiang's performance. He also acknowledged Long Xiang's contribution.
However, when the Flying Dragon Special Forces was halfway through his report, the door to the study opened.
"Shua!"
A tall figure dressed in a black robe strode into the study with a strong gust of wind.
The person who came was a tall and thin old man. His face was thin and dark, and his eyes were ice blue. His entire body emitted a gloomy and cold aura.
The old man in the black robe had the strength of the ninth King God Layer. He wore a luxurious crown on his head. He had the aura of a superior.
Long Xiang stopped reporting and quickly stood up to bow to the old man in the black robe. He said respectfully, "Greetings, Your Highness, Imperial Tutor!"
Darknorth also stood up and bowed slightly. He said, "Isn't the Imperial Tutor resting? Why are you here?"
Without a doubt, the old man in the black robe was the Imperial Tutor, the Ice Dragon King.
The Imperial Tutor nodded slightly to Darknorth and said expressionlessly, "I heard that General Long Xiang had returned to the Immortal Palace. I rushed here to report to His Majesty."
Darknorth nodded to show that he understood. He sat back in his chair and said, "Since the Imperial Tutor is here, let's listen to General Long Xiang's report."
However, the Imperial Tutor did not intend to listen. He turned to look at Long Xiang and frowned. He scolded sternly, "Long Xiang! You've got guts!
You did not do your job well and made a big mistake. Not only did you not apologize to His Majesty, you even dare to ask for credit? "
"Ah?" Long Xiang was stunned. He looked at the Imperial Tutor in confusion.
Darknorth also frowned and looked at the Imperial Tutor in confusion. He wondered what the Imperial Tutor was trying to do.
Long Xiang came back to his senses and clasped his hands towards the Imperial Tutor. He said in a neither servile nor overbearing tone, "I have been on a mission in the Changhai Region for three years. I have risked my life more than a hundred times to collect and investigate all kinds of clues. I have been loyal to His Majesty and have not slacked off at all.
I do not dare to claim credit or ask for credit. However, I have a clear conscience. May I know why Your Highness, Imperial Tutor, is so angry? "
Darknorth was also confused. He did not say anything and looked at the Imperial Tutor, waiting for him to answer.
The Imperial Tutor kicked the chair behind Long Xiang and sneered, "You are not asking for credit? There is no place for you in His Majesty's study room. "
Long Xiang frowned as anger and humiliation rose in his heart.
Darknorth hurriedly waved his hand and explained, "Imperial Tutor, please calm down. General Long Xiang didn't ask for any credit. I empathized with his loyalty and hard work. That's why I allowed him to sit down and report."
Emperor Preceptor flicked his sleeves and stopped talking about this matter. He stared at Long Xiang with a dignified face and shouted, "Long Xiang, let me ask you. You've spent so much manpower and resources in the Chang Hai Sea for the past three years. What's the result?
Have you found out who the culprit is? Have you found any solid evidence? "
"This …" Long Xiang was at a loss for words. He lowered his head and explained, "Although I haven't found the most crucial evidence, based on the clues that I have investigated for three years, it is enough to analyze that the culprit is one of the four divisions of the South Sea, the Trench Division!"
"Hahahaha … How ignorant and ridiculous!" The Imperial Tutor sneered, "This is related to Your Majesty's dignity and the safety of the continent!
You do not have any solid evidence. How dare you come to a conclusion based on speculation?
If we start a war with the Trench Division based on your speculation, can you bear the responsibility for the casualties and losses caused? "
"I …" Long Xiang was speechless again.
Before he could say anything, the Imperial Tutor continued, "You have betrayed His Majesty's trust. This is disloyalty!
You have spent so much manpower and resources in the Changhai Region for three years. You have sacrificed tens of thousands of soldiers. This is incompetence!
You have not completed your mission and you have fled back to the Celestial Palace. You even tried to deceive His Majesty. This is a serious crime! "
At this point, he turned his head to look at Darknorth and asked in a pained tone, "Your Majesty! This old man knows that Your Majesty is magnanimous and benevolent.
But you must be careful of these treacherous officials. Do not be deceived by them!
Long Xiang is a disloyal and incompetent official. How can you reward him?
Only by punishing him severely could the court be revitalized and serve as a warning to others!
Your Majesty, please punish Long Xiang in accordance with the law! "
After saying that, the Imperial Preceptor bowed deeply to Darknorth.
Long Xiang was dumbfounded.
He did not expect things to turn out this way.
Although he was not happy with the Imperial Tutor's arbitrary behavior, he did not show it.
He did not express his dissatisfaction nor did he openly oppose the Imperial Tutor.
He did not expect the Imperial Tutor to distort the truth and erase his contributions. He even wanted to punish him!
