The Qianlong Guards have always obeyed the orders of the Dragon Lord Dongsu. Now that Prince Long Chen has founded the country, the Qianlong Guards will naturally obey his orders.
Moreover, Prince Long Chen is the next generation of Dongsu Dragon Lord, and many senior officials in the Qianlong Guard have secretly moved closer to Prince Long Chen.
Zhao Dinghai, considered Long Chen's confidant in the Qianlong Guard, was originally assigned to be Long Chen's guard captain. Now with the rise of Long Chen, Zhao Dinghai's status is also rising.
At this moment, he is already one of the four deputy general banners in Qianlong Guard.
"Isn't that Qianlongwei? What are Qianlongwei doing here?"
"Yeah, what happened? Vice President Zhao Dinghai is here."
Many people in the Central Academy couldn't help but start talking when they saw Qianlong Guard coming in.
Zhao Dinghai went directly to the core area of the Central Academy.
In the hall, the dean of the Central Academy, Long Kan, was drinking tea. Hearing the reports from his subordinates, he couldn't help but frown slightly.
Longkan is the dean of the Central Academy, and he is also a master of the eternal formation of heaven and earth. He can arrange formations of the eternal level of heaven and earth. He is a person with a transcendent status in the Dongsu Empire. Although his cultivation is not a strong one in the eternal realm of heaven and earth.
But his status is higher than the top ten dragon commanders.
"Qianlongwei Zhao Dinghai, what is he here for? Su Qing, do you know?"
While Longkan was talking, a woman appeared secretly.
This woman has a graceful figure and is wearing a black dragon-patterned cheongsam. She has deep Qi and a cultivation level that can reach the ultimate realm of Dharma, Heaven, Earth, and even Breakthrough.
The woman named Su Qing is also a member of the Qianlong Guard. She is assigned by the Qianlong Guard to protect Longkan, a national treasure.
To say it is protection does not necessarily mean supervision.
However, for a character like Long Kan, as long as he does not betray the race and the empire, the laws of the Dongsu Empire cannot control him at all.
Even if he violates the laws of the empire, Su Qing will not only not expose trivial matters, but will help him cover them up.
Su Qing shook his head slightly: "I haven't heard that Qianlongwei has any tasks, but as the deputy general flag, he directly obeys the orders of the Dragon Lord and the Crown Prince."
The implication is that now that the Dragon Lord is away, the Vice-President must have come here under the instruction of Prince Long Chen.
"Long Chen—" Long Kan rubbed his chin. He didn't have much contact with Prince Long Chen.
With his status, he naturally doesn't have to take sides or curry favor with anyone, anyone who becomes the Dragon Lord will value him.
Soon, Zhao Dinghai came to the hall, smiled and clasped his fists in salute: "Zhao Dinghai pays homage to Dean Longkan. He is here unexpectedly. Dean Longkan, please forgive me for disturbing you."
Dean Longkan smiled and said: "Vice General Zhao is too polite. Positions above Deputy General Qianlongwei are senior officials. I don't dare to say anything about forgiveness. Is there anything wrong with General Zhao coming to my place?"
Zhao Dinghai said: "There are indeed some things that need your help. You also know that His Royal Highness is now launching an anti-rape operation in the country. Every important department must investigate and inquire, and the Central Academy is naturally no exception."
Dean Longkan sneered when he heard this: "Then General Zhao Qi means that there are spies in my Central Academy?"
Zhao Dinghai said quickly: "I don't dare, but the process has to go through again. Don't worry, just take the people in the Central Academy for questioning and they will be released soon.
This is also the first decree issued by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince since he took charge of the country. Please don’t embarrass us.
The Cang Lei Imperial Capital was looted and destroyed by the Great Desolate Alliance before, and it was because of the internal spies who sabotaged it, which resulted in the Cang Lei Imperial Capital's defensive formation not being activated, so the Central Academy must also investigate."
Dean Longkan couldn't refuse these words and this reason.
Moreover, it is said that this is the first fire since Prince Long Chen took charge of the country. If you don't cooperate, wouldn't it mean that you will have to fight against the future Dragon Lord in the future?
Although Dean Longkan was a little resentful of this kind of thing, he would not be stupid enough not to cooperate. At most, he would show off to Zhao Dinghai so as not to make himself and the Central Academy easy to bully.
He snorted softly, put down the tea cup and said: "Since it is an order from His Highness the Crown Prince, then our Central Academy will definitely cooperate. Will I be investigated?"
Zhao Dinghai smiled quickly and said: "Of course you don't need it, sir, but we will take away the other formation masters and the staff here for investigation."
Dean Longkan said solemnly: "Taking away is not possible. We are busy with affairs here, which are related to the safety of the entire imperial capital's defense formation system. Where can you take away people? If you want to interrogate, just ask them in the central court. I will let them
People provide you with a place.”
Zhao Dinghai nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll bother Dean Longkan."
Zhao Dinghai didn't want to go against this person. After all, the other person's status and connections were beyond his comparison. How many of the big families in the imperial capital did not help arrange their defensive formations?
In the central courtyard, a separate room was used as an interrogation room.
Soon the first person to be interrogated came. His name was Miao Shiwen, and he was from the Dragon Clan. The Dragon Clan was the largest in number but the most humble in status.
But this one is a formation master who can arrange the magic, heaven, earth, earth and heaven. He also serves as the head of a department in the Central Academy and has a respected status.
However, compared to several other ministers, his ethnic background still makes him appear to have the lowest status.
This is true for any species. Within a species, there are different social status levels. The same human race is also divided into different colors. People of the same race in the same country also have a natural feeling that the place where they were born is better than other places.
superior.
Zhao Dinghai smiled and said: "Minister Miao, please sit down."
Miao Shiwen nodded, sat down, and said, "Whatever Mr. Zhao wants to ask, I will tell you everything I know."
"No hurry, come, serve the wine!" Zhao Dinghai shook his head and asked the man next to him holding a wine gourd to pour the wine.
Miao Shiwen looked at him in surprise. Zhao Dinghai raised his glass and said, "Let's talk while drinking."
The other party was also very surprised. How could there be such an interrogation method?
However, it was impossible for him not to give face to the other party. No one was so mean and wanted to be interrogated harshly by the other party.
Zhao Dinghai's interrogation method made Miao Shiwen feel that the other party was giving him face-saving treatment.
The two raised their glasses and drank one glass of wine.
After drinking this wine, Miao Shiwen felt like he was swallowing fire, but the aroma and sweetness of the wine surprised him, and he fell in love with it at the first sip.
"Good wine, what kind of wine is this?" As he spoke, his face turned red quickly, and then a terrible alcoholic power swept over his body, mind, spirit and will, making him instantly enter a state that was about to break but not yet.
the point.
"Okay, good wine - awesome -" Miao Shiwen's eyes instantly became blurred, he looked at Zhao Dinghai and chuckled, licking his tongue: "General Zhao, I see you still have charm -"
