Chapter 655 Both Sister and Brother-in-Law Have a Share
Back then, the enemy was terrified of her father-in-law, let alone her, a lowly cook who had never killed anyone!
Some have roughly estimated that the enemies the old man killed in his lifetime could be piled up into a high mountain.
Was the map of the Eastern Kingdom originally expanded peacefully? No! It was all conquered through conquest.
The old man and the late emperor didn't like haggling and bickering. If they wanted to take this land, they would either give it to them or fight them.
A strong nation ensures the people's well-being; a weak nation is destined to be bullied.
This is the law of survival in this world.
Aunt Long quickly wiped away her tears, forced a smile, and went over, her voice trembling as she said, "Dad...Dad, you're not dead?"
"Hehe...yes...yes, Grandpa, you're not dead?" After saying that, Sister Long wished she could slap herself. It was all her second aunt's fault for leading everyone astray.
The old man's face darkened. Although his body was no longer as robust as it used to be, and he was now skin and bones, his imposing manner was no less than before.
The invisible pressure emanating from him even made the old emperor swallow hard. Not only were members of the Long family afraid of this person, but he was also afraid of him.
Because the phrase "If you don't give me territory, we'll fight you" came from this person.
And he really did it.
"You're not dead? You've disappointed me!" the old man sneered.
"No, no, no, Dad, we're overjoyed that you've recovered."
"You absolutely can't get hurt." Aunt Long reacted quickly, rushing over to support herself on the hospital bed and sobbing, "Waaah, Dad, you have no idea how we've been all these years..."
Without your guidance, we would be completely lost about the future…
The voice grew softer and softer; they dared not try to be charming or ingratiating any longer.
Because she spotted the old emperor.
Thank God, once the father-in-law woke up, the Long family no longer had to live in fear.
They have been living a very stifling life these past few years, even though the emperor and the Long family have eased their tensions in the last six months.
But this doesn't mean that people's suspicions have disappeared.
Moreover, Longyuan was announced to be dead at that time, which was absolutely devastating.
Now everything is alright, my nephew is back, and the old man has woken up. The crisis is almost over.
Old Master Long turned his eyes away in disgust, then looked at Long Yuan's face. Only then did he find him somewhat pleasing to the eye; this was the true future of his Long family.
The others are all useless.
"Grandpa is very pleased to have you in the Long family. Yuan'er, tell Grandpa what happened just now!"
Of course, what the old man most wanted to ask was how much of that medicine was left, and whether it could be researched and developed in this world, etc.
If that were possible, would the external threats to the Eastern Kingdom still be a problem?
After listening to Long Yuan's story, the ward fell silent once again.
Everyone had their own thoughts, but only Old Master Long was smiling the most happily.
Everyone else was agonizing over the same question: how to divide the ten longevity fruits?
Besides the Long family members present, there were other uncles and cousins. Aunt Long thought that since she was just a daughter-in-law, she probably wouldn't get any of the points.
But she wanted it too. Who wouldn't want to live a hundred years longer and become a cultivator who could cast spells?
The old emperor sensed that something was amiss in the atmosphere of the room.
He'd forgotten all about it. Oh yeah, ten, how are we going to divide them?
He needs to go back and think about this issue carefully.
The Di family has far more members than the Long family; the elders and peers with close relationships could fill more than a dozen tables.
"Uncle Long, now that you're awake, the Emperor and I will take our leave!"
Old Master Long stopped putting on airs and got out of bed to join everyone in bowing and seeing them off: "Your Majesty, this humble subject respectfully sees you off! His Highness the Crown Prince, this humble subject respectfully sees you off!"
"It seems you have important matters to discuss, so there's no need to see you off." With that, the old emperor stopped again.
Then he placed a very mysterious fruit in the old man's hand.
"I've heard that this item can cause cultivators with spiritual roots to experience a dramatic increase in their cultivation level."
The children only brought back two. Uncle Long, one for you and one for me. You must hurry back to court.
The Goddess Sect is now a ticking time bomb, potentially attracting attacks from various countries at any moment.
"With you, sir, presiding over the court, I can finally rest easy!"
Old Master Long did not refuse. He held the divine fruit in both hands, knelt on one knee, and solemnly declared, "Your Majesty, I will certainly not fail to live up to your expectations!"
Emperor Tianhuang didn't say a word the entire time.
No one knows a son better than his father, and vice versa.
Since the emperor wants to achieve some political success before stepping down, the son should give his full support.
The premise is that you can't cause trouble, otherwise...
He can only continue to be the rebellious son he calls him!
After seeing off Emperor Tianhuang and his son, the old man was helped up by Long Yuan and then began to stare at the fruit in his hand, lost in thought.
There were only two in total, but His Majesty gave one to himself.
Could it be that they really misunderstood the Di family before?
What was the story behind Di Qian's secret suppression of the Long family more than ten years ago?
"Grandpa, Emperor Tianhuang already knew about our Long family's plot to rebel, don't worry." Seeing the old man's eyes widen, Long Yuan quickly comforted him, "That's all in the past now."
From now on, the Di family will no longer suspect us.
Just keep everything the same as before!
After a brief moment of thought, the old man smiled and affectionately patted his grandson on the back of the head: "Good! The Eastern Kingdom is about to undergo a change of dynasty, and only by the unity of the ruler and his ministers can we overcome this difficult time."
"Grandpa, um..." Sister Long was about to push her husband Luo Yun out a bit, as she wanted to secure an opportunity for him to cultivate.
As a married couple, Luo Yun and Tian Kai knew exactly what their wives were thinking. They shook their heads in unison and desperately tried to wink at their wives.
Didn't you see Aunt Long Er was so anxious she wanted to jump up and down?
How could it possibly be their turn?
They have already been treated well by God in this life, so there is no need to ask for more.
The longevity fruit should be distributed to the more outstanding members of the Long family. This way, the Long family will go far, and their children's future will be more secure.
However, before Sister Long could finish speaking, Long Yuan made his stance clear by shoving a storage bag into her hand.
With a firm and unyielding attitude, she said, “Eldest sister, second sister, eldest brother-in-law, second brother-in-law, these five are the ones I saved for you from the beginning. Take them, no refusing!”
Debts from a past life must be repaid in this one; this is what your younger brother owes you!
Sister Long would never refuse, and quickly stuffed the purse into her bra. This was the ladder to heaven for her, her husband, and her daughter.
"This...isn't this inappropriate?" Aunt Long was anxious. Even if the two girls had suffered a lot for Xiao Yuan in the past, it was enough to give them to the two girls. Why did she have to deal with the two live-in sons-in-law?
Wouldn't that mean I have absolutely no chance of winning?
In terms of contributions to the family, I am no more than the househusbands of these two families.
At least I'm still working in the military!
Even cooks are soldiers!
Madam Long and Commander Long did not expect their son to do such a thing. Five pieces? That's too much. At least leave some soup for others.
How can anyone else be convinced by this?
Good heavens, will the Long family have any disagreements because of these ten fruits?
Didn't you see that both military doctors frowned?
In her opinion, there was really no need to be so good to her two sons-in-law.
The Long family has provided their parents' family with quite a lot of convenience over the years.
