Long Xiang was full of grievances, but could not explain himself, and was in a very passive situation.
The emperor's master was domineering and aggressive, as if he had a winning chance.
With his identity, status, strength and means, it is too easy to punish Long Xiang.
Before his eyes, Long Xiang was about to be convicted for this and suffered unjust injustice.
Fortunately, Bei Ming stood up to smooth things over, waving his hands and saying: "Master Emperor, please calm down, why is this happening? Why is this happening?"
Since the emperor ascended the throne, General Longxiang has been following the emperor. He has been doing his best for thousands of years and has been working conscientiously.
As for this mission, even though he was not a complete success, he still found a lot of key clues and information.
Imperial Master, General Long Xiang has no merit but hard work. How can I punish him?
If this is really the case, wouldn’t it chill everyone’s hearts?”
Bei Ming is still very confident in Long Xiang's character and conduct, and he also thinks highly of him.
In his opinion, the Imperial Master was being so aggressive and was a bit picky and deliberately suppressed.
But he couldn't say these words. He had to take care of the emperor's master's face and dignity.
Therefore, he could only point out Long Xiang's past performance and hope that the emperor would not pursue it further.
But who knew that the Imperial Master had no intention of letting Long Xiang go, and said with a strong attitude: "Your Majesty, it is precisely because you are kind-hearted and miss old friendships that you condone these treacherous ministers, causing them to become more and more rampant.
If things continue like this, not only will your prestige be lost, but the foundation of Tianlong Shrine will also be jeopardized!"
Long Xiang was furious when he heard this, his face was livid with anger, and he said in a cold tone: "Master Imperial Master, the general cannot bear the words "treacherous minister!"
The final general considers himself loyal and has a clear conscience in doing things. Only in this way can he live up to the esteem of His Majesty the Dragon Emperor.
If the Imperial Master insists on slandering the general, then the general would rather commit suicide to make his ambition known through death!"
Long Xiang had no power to resist against the powerful Imperial Master.
But he will never grovel and seek peace, admitting to these baseless charges.
He would rather die to prove his innocence!
The Imperial Master squinted at him and sneered contemptuously: "Haha, you have no excuse in front of the evidence, so you resort to such shameless tactics?
Since you are so stubborn, I just want to take a look..."
The quarrel between the two became more and more tense. If the entanglement continued, Long Xiang might actually commit suicide on the spot due to his stubborn character.
Seeing this scene, Bei Ming could only pretend to be angry and slapped the table with a majestic expression before suppressing the matter.
In the end, Beiming failed to award Long Xiang a reward and recorded no merit.
Even in order to appease the emperor's master, Beiming had no choice but to give in, verbally reprimanded Long Xiang and fined him ten years' salary.
Although this punishment is very light, it is not painful or itchy.
But a loyal general who originally had meritorious service and fought for the Dragon Emperor through life and death, not only had no merit, but also ended up like this, which is really chilling.
Long Xiang was also full of grievances and extremely sad.
But he understood the Dragon Emperor's difficult situation and knew that the Dragon Emperor still trusted and valued him, so he didn't say anything more.
In this confrontation, the Imperial Master undoubtedly won.
Silence returned to the study room, Long Xiang continued to report the results, Beiming and Emperor Master both listened.
After what happened just now, Long Xiang was in a low mood, and his report became very short and boring.
After he finished his work report, Beiming gave him a few words of verbal encouragement to comfort him.
The Imperial Master was too lazy to listen any more, so he waved his hand to drive Long Xiang away.
At this time, Long Xiang hesitated for a moment before mustering up the courage to say another thing.
"Your Majesty, the Sea Tribe of the Trench Department is very cunning and insidious, and somehow they found out about our action plan.
Previously, General Mo led three thousand soldiers into the territory of the Haitou Department to investigate clues, and was besieged by the Hai Clan army.
We suffered heavy casualties, with only the last 800 or so people left, and we were about to be massacred by the Hai Clan army.
At the most dangerous moment, Senior Tianxing passed by that sea area and rescued us.
He slashed the Hai Clan army with his sword and massacred thousands of Hai Clan soldiers in an instant, forcing the Hai Clan army to flee in panic..."
Long Xiang briefly told what happened.
Bei Ming listened with great interest, his eyes were shining brightly, and he was very interested in what he said about Senior Tianxing.
The emperor's master had no expression on his face, his eyes were gloomy, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
After Long Xiang finished speaking, the Imperial Master frowned and asked in a deep voice: "Long Xiang! A guy of unknown origin, you actually brought him into the Tianlong Shrine and arranged for him to stay in your residence?
What do you want to do? Do you still have the laws of the temple in your eyes?"
Just as Long Xiang was about to explain, Beiming waved his hand and said, "Master Emperor, calm down, that Master Tianxing saved the lives of General Long Xiang and more than 800 soldiers.
General Longxiang knows how to repay his kindness, so it is normal for him to be brought back."
The Imperial Master snorted coldly and said no more.
Seeing Beiming's attitude, Long Xiang took the opportunity to say: "Your Majesty, in fact, the general did not bring Master Tianxing here because he wanted to repay his kindness.
But it’s because... Mr. Tianxing has made a special trip to visit you, and he has important matters to discuss with you.”
"Oh? Is that so?" Bei Ming raised his eyebrows and asked doubtfully: "But I don't know the god king named Tianxing? Where is he from? Does he know me?"
Long Xiang answered truthfully: "The general only knows that he is from the Star Source Continent and wants to see you for something. He doesn't know anything else.
Perhaps, you can ask him face to face..."
Before Long Xiang could finish speaking, the Imperial Master interrupted with a sneer and scolded: "Asshole! A guy with unknown origins wants to meet His Majesty the Dragon Emperor? Who does he think he is?
And you, Long Xiang, who gave you the right to bring strangers into the palace?
If that kid has ulterior motives and deliberately approaches His Majesty the Dragon Emperor, or even assassinates His Majesty... can you bear the responsibility?"
Long Xiang was choked and could not speak. He could only hold his neck and said: "If someone attempts to assassinate your majesty, I will resist it with all my strength. Even if I sacrifice my life, I must protect your majesty's safety!"
"Hmph!" The Imperial Master snorted disdainfully, "Does your life deserve to be compared with His Majesty's safety?"
Long Xiang was speechless and ignored the imperial master.
He bowed to Beiming and begged: "I will get along with Senior Tianxing all the way. If I dare to worry about my life, Senior Tianxing will never assassinate Your Majesty!
I sincerely ask Your Majesty to show mercy and allow me to meet Senior Tianxing."
The Imperial Master hurriedly stepped forward, bowed his hands to Beiming, and rushed to say: "Your Majesty, your safety is related to the entire Tianlong Continent, and you are also responsible for the life and death of hundreds of millions of people. There is no room for risk, let alone evil people.
A little bit of opportunity can be taken advantage of.
I suggest that you immediately give the order to expel that person from the Tianlong Shrine!"
The emperor's master's tone was sonorous and his attitude was very firm, revealing an unquestionable flavor.
Although Bei Ming felt it was inappropriate, he couldn't help but hesitate.
He was caught in the middle and was in a dilemma. After weighing for a long time, he said with a guilty look on his face: "General Long Xiang, I ordered people to prepare a heavy gift. You can give it to Master Tianxing to express your gratitude.
