Long Xiang was full of grievances, but he could not defend himself. He was in a very passive position.
The Imperial Tutor was overbearing and aggressive, as if victory was already in his hands.
With his identity, position, strength, and methods, it was too easy for him to punish Long Xiang.
Seeing that Long Xiang was about to be punished for this, Long Xiang was about to be wronged.
Fortunately, Darknorth stood up to mediate the situation. He waved his hand and said, "Imperial Tutor, please calm down. Why do you have to do this? Why do you have to do this?
Ever since this Emperor ascended to the throne, General Long Xiang has been following this Emperor. For the past thousand years, he has been doing his best to complete this task.
Even if he did not succeed in this mission, he still managed to find a lot of important clues and information.
Imperial Preceptor, General Long Xiang has worked hard even if he didn't have any merits. How can I punish him?
If that's the case, won't everyone be disappointed? "
Darknorth was very confident in Long Xiang's character and character. He also thought highly of him.
In his opinion, the Imperial Preceptor was being so overbearing. He was nitpicking and purposely suppressing him.
However, he could not say this out loud. He still had to take care of the Imperial Tutor's face and dignity.
Therefore, he could only bring up Long Xiang's past performance and hope that the Imperial Tutor would not pursue this matter.
However, the Imperial Tutor had no intention of letting Long Xiang go. He said firmly, "Your Majesty, it's because you are too kind and think too much about your past relationships that you connive with these treacherous officials, causing them to become more and more rampant.
In the long run, not only will your prestige be destroyed, the foundation of the Heavenly Dragon Divine Palace will also be in danger! "
Long Xiang was enraged when he heard this. His face was ashen and he said coldly, "Lord Imperial Preceptor, this general is not worthy of being called a treacherous minister!
I believe that I am loyal and have a clear conscience. This is the only way I can live up to Your Majesty's expectations.
If Imperial Tutor insists on slandering me, I would rather commit suicide to prove my sincerity! "
Long Xiang had no power to resist the powerful Imperial Tutor.
However, he would never grovel and beg for peace, nor would he admit to these unfounded accusations.
He would rather die to prove his innocence!
The Imperial Tutor looked at him from the corner of his eyes and sneered contemptuously. "Hehe, you can't deny it in front of the evidence, so you resorted to such shameless means?
Since you are so stubborn, I would like to see … "
The more they argued, the more tense it became. If they continued to argue, with Long Xiang's stubborn personality, he might really commit suicide on the spot.
Seeing this, Darknorth could only pretend to be angry. With a dignified expression, he slammed the table and suppressed the matter.
In the end, Darknorth wasn't able to give Long Xiang any rewards.
In order to appease the Imperial Tutor, Darknorth could only take a step back. He verbally reprimanded Long Xiang and fined him ten years of his salary.
Although this punishment was very light, it was neither painful nor itchy.
However, a loyal general who had made meritorious contributions and risked his life for the Dragon Emperor ended up like this instead of making any contributions. It was really disappointing.
Long Xiang was also filled with grievances. His heart was filled with sorrow.
But he understood that the Dragon Emperor was in a difficult situation, and he knew that the Dragon Emperor still trusted and valued him, so he didn't say anything.
In this confrontation, the Imperial Tutor won without a doubt.
The study returned to silence. Long Xiang continued to report the results while Darknorth and the Imperial Tutor listened attentively.
After what happened just now, Long Xiang was in low spirits. His report also became very short and boring.
After he finished his report, Darknorth gave him a few words of encouragement to comfort him.
The Imperial Tutor was too lazy to listen anymore and waved his hand to chase Long Xiang away.
At this moment, Long Xiang hesitated for a moment before he mustered up the courage to say something else.
"Your Majesty, the Oceanic Tribe of the Trench Tribe is very sinister and cunning. We don't know how they found out about our plan.
Previously, I led three thousand soldiers into the Trench Tribe's territory to investigate and we were besieged by the Oceanic Tribe's army.
We suffered heavy casualties and only eight hundred people were left. We were about to be slaughtered by the Oceanic Tribe's army.
At the most dangerous moment, Senior Tianxing passed by the sea and saved us.
He killed thousands of the Oceanic Tribe's army in an instant and forced the Oceanic Tribe's army to flee in panic … "
Long Xiang gave a simple account of what happened.
Darknorth listened with great interest. His eyes shone with a strange light. He was very interested in the Senior Tianhang that he was talking about.
The Imperial Tutor was expressionless and his eyes were gloomy. No one knew what he was thinking.
After Long Xiang finished, the Imperial Tutor frowned and asked in a deep voice, "Long Xiang! You actually brought an unknown person into the Heavenly Dragon Divine Palace and arranged for him to stay in your residence?
What are you trying to do? Do you still have the laws of the Divine Palace in your eyes? "
Long Xiang was about to explain when Darknorth waved his hand and said, "Imperial Tutor, please calm down. Young Master Tianxing saved the lives of General Long Xiang and eight hundred soldiers.
General Long Xiang knows how to repay a debt of gratitude. It's normal for you to bring him back. "
The Imperial Tutor snorted and said no more.
Seeing Darknorth's attitude, Long Xiang took the opportunity to say, "Your Majesty, I didn't bring Young Master Tianxing here to repay a debt of gratitude.
It's because … Young Master Tianxing is here to visit you. He has something important to discuss with you. "
"Oh? Is that so? " Darknorth raised his eyebrows and asked doubtfully, "But I don't know a Deity King named Tianxing. Where did he come from? Does he know me? "
Long Xiang answered honestly, "I only know that he came from the Starsource Continent and has something important to discuss with you. I don't know anything else.
Maybe you can ask him in person … "
Without waiting for Long Xiang to finish, the Imperial Preceptor interrupted him with a sneer and scolded, "Bastard! A guy with an unknown background wanted to meet the Dragon Emperor? Who does he think he is?
And you, Long Xiang, who gave you the right to bring a stranger into the Divine Palace?
If that kid has ulterior motives and purposely gets close to the Dragon Emperor or even tries to assassinate him … Can you bear the responsibility? "
Long Xiang was speechless. He could only say, "If someone tries to assassinate His Majesty, I will do my best to stop them. Even if I have to sacrifice my life, I will protect His Majesty!"
"Hmph!" The Imperial Preceptor snorted disdainfully. "Is your life worth mentioning in the same breath as His Majesty's safety?"
Long Xiang was speechless and ignored the Imperial Tutor.
He bowed to Darknorth and begged, "I've been with Senior Tianxing all this time. I dare to risk my life for him. Senior Tianxing will never try to assassinate His Majesty!
Your Majesty, please grant me the honor of meeting Senior Tianxing. "
The Emperor's Preceptor hurriedly took a step forward and bowed to Darknorth. He rushed to say, "Your Majesty, your safety is related to the entire Heavenly Dragon Continent. It's also shouldering the life and death of hundreds of millions of people. You can't take any risks, and you can't give the villains any chance to take advantage of you.
I suggest that you immediately give the order to expel that person from the Heavenly Dragon Divine Palace! "
The Imperial Preceptor's tone was sonorous and his attitude was very firm, revealing an unquestionable feeling.
Even though Darknorth felt that it was inappropriate, he couldn't help but hesitate.
He was stuck in a dilemma. After weighing the pros and cons for a long time, he said with a guilty face, "General Long Xiang, I've ordered my men to prepare a gift for you to thank Young Master Tianxing.
After that, you can send him away. "
