Chapter 4156 What Happened
Camp refuge cave.
With the departure of the two green dragons, the area finally returned to calm.
"Father! Are you okay!"
Under the escort of Huai Zhun and Zhou Xian, Gu Hong returned safely, and "cared" about Emperor Tianzhao as soon as he arrived.
"Are you the only ones back?"
Emperor Tianzhao glanced at him and asked.
Gu Hong hesitated slightly, and then showed a sad look: "Could it be that the ninth brother hasn't come back yet?
! "
"You still ask Gu?
What about the old nine? "
Emperor Tianzhao asked.
"My son asked the ninth brother to come back first, but you also know, father, that the old nine has a stubborn temper and cannot be persuaded at all."
"He wants to cover for the minister, saying that he will come here to meet him as soon as the minister leaves."
"I didn't see him all the way, so I thought he came back first. After all, the ninth brother is a golden man."
Gu Hong thumped the wall with remorse, "I shouldn't have let him go!"
Emperor Tianzhao's expression did not change, but looked at the mysterious umbrella man behind him.
"Huaizhun, with your strength, as long as the five-clawed golden dragon doesn't chase and kill you, it should be safe for itself."
"I ask you, why did you come back first, but the Ninth Prince didn't come back?"
Huai Zhun frowned, this question was very sharp.
If he wanted to say that he was only responsible for the safety of the eldest prince, although he helped Gu Hong to excuse him, it was also tantamount to admitting that he would not save Xing He.
But if Gu Hong ordered him to retreat first, it would be tantamount to betraying the eldest prince, and his achievements over the years and the efforts of the Xuanming royal family would be in vain.
Just when he was at a loss, Zhou Xian from behind stepped forward.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, Lord Huai Zhun is also forced to do so. The two five-clawed golden dragons can move in space. Your Excellency dare not leave Prince Hong too far."
"At first, we defended together with the Ninth Prince, but later the battlefield became chaotic, so we couldn't take care of everything."
"After all, His Highness Xinghe is a student of the Academy, a golden swordsman, and should be safer than the First Prince."
"If Your Majesty wants to blame, please also blame the humble minister. It was the humble minister who was worried about the safety of the eldest prince, and secretly sent a message to Lord Huaizhun, telling him not to leave too far away."
When Gu Hong heard this, his eyes rolled, and he quickly reprimanded: "Zhou Xian!! Why are you so confused!?
How could this kind of thing not be reported to the king first! ? "
Emperor Tianzhao's face was gloomy, "Zhou Xian, you are a ninth-grade gold, second only to Star God, and you can't even escort Prince Hong away?"
"The minister is guilty!"
Zhou Xian knelt down sincerely.
Huai Zhun, who was silent, said at this time: "Your Majesty, although we are in the golden civilization, it is difficult for most people of the Shenlong clan to see them in their entire lives."
"Now in this bronze world, there are so many dragons suddenly appearing, and it's still a battle between high-level five-clawed golden dragons. It's inevitable that Zhou Xian will be nervous."
Emperor Tianzhao sneered, "Oh, you all have reasons, but no one said a word of gratitude to Lao Jiu."
"Father, if the ninth brother has any troubles, I will accept all punishment!!"
Gu Hong's face was sad, and the circles of his eyes were red.
"Brother Huang, if the ninth brother has an accident, of course you will be punished, and you still need to agree to it?"
Tianhao had already returned at this time, and immediately scolded at the opportunity: "It is obvious that we can evacuate together safely, but the command was improper, making the ninth brother's life and death unknown!"
"In the final analysis, Ninth Brother regards you as a brother, but you only think about yourself!!"
Gu Hong's eyes were gloomy and cold, but he knew that now was not the time to refute and defend, so he could only continue to feel sad.
"Father! My son is really worried, so I will take someone out to find the ninth brother!"
As Tianhao said, he took the red-haired ghost with him and was about to go out.
"stop!!"
Emperor Tianzhao shouted loudly: "Don't you think it's not chaotic enough!?
The Shenlong clan only left temporarily, but they are still outside. "
"If you meet again, will Gu have to find a way to rescue him!?"
Of course Tianhao knew that the old man would not let him go out, and immediately showed helplessness.
"My son and minister didn't think about it properly, and the emperor calmed down."
Pang Xun said with a smile at this time: "His Royal Highness is also worried about the safety of the Ninth Prince, brotherly love is deep, understandable."
Emperor Tianzhao looked at the faces of this group of people, feeling inexplicably irritated.
They are all experienced, how could he not know what kind of tricks his two sons were playing.
In the past, he saw it in his eyes and smiled in his heart, and he would not be disgusted. After all, the emperor's house is like this.
But I don't know why, recently, he feels more and more tired, is it really like Yu Shengyan said, he is old?
Emperor Tianzhao looked at the vast sky outside, his eyes revealed the color of memories.
"When I was a guest in Anda Civilization alone, I was plotted against by villains, and I was also besieged by monsters, so I met Concubine Mu."
"Concubine Mu is chivalrous, heroic and brave. She helped the orphan out of trouble, and that's why she got married and had Xinghe." "These years, I have been busy with government affairs alone, and I seldom visit her."
"If this time, Xinghe has a sudden loss, what face will there be? See you again, Concubine Mu." Just when Emperor Tian Zhao was feeling disappointed, two figures appeared from a distance.
"Galaxy!?"
"The Ninth Prince is back!"
As soon as Xinghe entered the cave, he subconsciously wanted to salute.
"I have seen it before." "There is no need to salute!"
Emperor Tianzhao went up to support him, and said with a smile, "It's good to be back, it's good to be back." Xinghe looked puzzled, not understanding what happened.
Ever since his mother Concubine Mu fell out of favor, he hasn't had physical contact with Emperor Tian Zhao for a long time.
Seeing this, Gu Hong felt a little embarrassed, his brows twitched.
Tianhao had a look of joy on his face, and went up to hug Xinghe happily.
"Old Nine, fortunately you came back safely, I am really anxious to death!"
Gu Hong bite the bullet, went up to concern: "Ninth Brother, are you alright?
Thanks to you this time, if you make a mistake, I will be in trouble for the rest of my life. "
"I'm fine. Thanks to Miss Chu Xi accompanying me this time, it's much safer for the two of us to work together."
Xinghe looked calm and didn't say much.
"Anyway, Big Brother owes you this time. If Brother Ninth needs anything, just ask me!"
Xinghe shook his head, "Brother, you're welcome, am I not doing well?"
Gu Hong smiled and said, "It's good that you're fine." Emperor Tianzhao asked, "Old Nine, the girl next to you is the girl next to Sword God, right?"
"Long Chuxi, I have met Your Majesty." Long Chuxi saluted without being humble or overbearing.
"Okay, thank you for accompanying the Ninth Prince to return safely, and there will be a great reward when I go back," Emperor Tianzhao said with a satisfied smile.
"Your Majesty, I accompanied Highness Xinghe because I wanted to watch the battle of the five-clawed golden dragon, not for reward."
"It's His Highness Xinghe who put himself in danger in order to save others. It's really admirable. You should reward him."
As Long Chuxi said, she looked at Gu Hong without hesitation.
This shocked Gu Hong into a cold sweat, and he clenched his hands again.
Emperor Tianzhao frowned, "Oh?
Lao Jiu, tell Gu the truth, what happened at that time? "
