The sudden horrific explosion instantly attracted everyone's attention.
In Taiji Hall, the expressions of all the courtiers changed at the same time.
"what happened?"
"What happened?"
"Enemy attack?"
"..."
Some of the courtiers looked panicked, some were motionless, and a small number of courtiers had inexplicable excitement on their faces.
Such a terrifying big explosion is not something that a small-time Xiaoxiao can accomplish. Only the regular army of the imperial court can possess such powerful weapons or spells.
As for the regular army affiliated to Luojing, apart from the Yulin Guards, the Warrior Battalion and the Xiuyi Guards who are permanently stationed in the city, they can only be stationed at the key passes around Luojing, guarding the capital all year round. It was also the 800,000 forbidden army commanded by Xia Houyan, the current Shenwu General.
On the high platform, the empress and Jiang Chengdao frowned slightly at the same time.
'Sure enough, he's still here...'
When they were thinking like this, there was no trace of panic in their eyes. It was obvious that what happened outside the city gate at this time was completely within their expectations.
Since you have anticipated it, you will naturally be prepared.
The two nodded tacitly, and then Jiang Chengdao waved his hand and laughed loudly: "Hahaha... Nowadays, there are still young people who dare to cause trouble under my nose. I really don't know whether to live or die!"
"Everyone, don't panic, and relax. As long as I am here, Luojing is the safest place in Central Continent. No matter how many thousands of troops or monsters there are, I can defeat them all with one force!"
Hearing what Saint King Cangming, one of the strongest men in Central Continent, said, some of the courtiers immediately felt relieved.
Yes, the person in charge of Luo Jing now is the legendary Holy King, a terrifying existence who can single-handedly change the situation on the battlefield.
Even the dynasty in its heyday couldn't stop the Holy Land with all its might, so what's the point of mere turmoil?
Although Luojing is not a holy realm, and holy kings can only exert the power of holy relics in the holy realm, Saint King Cangming is obviously an exception. Otherwise, how could he have the ambition to devour the world?
Only by stepping out of the holy realm with the power of the holy relic can you be qualified to compete in the world. Otherwise, no matter how powerful the power of the holy relic is, it will be meaningless.
Although I don’t know how Saint King Cangming did it, it is an indisputable fact that he was able to use the power of the holy relics outside the holy realm.
Otherwise, how can we explain that he was able to descend from the sky without Luo Jing being aware of it? How can he explain that the Xuanwu Guards of only tens of thousands of people were able to defeat the 150,000 troops stationed in Luo Jing and defeat them in less than a day? Let Luo Jing change hands and kill all the once arrogant empress dowagers in Luo Jing?
With such a powerful being standing in front of them, those courtiers such as Li Zheng who had just expressed their goodwill to the Holy King breathed a sigh of relief.
The reason why they showed their favor to the Holy King so quickly was because they took a fancy to the supreme combat power of the Holy King Cangming.
This is the first holy king in history who intends to conquer the world...
Lu Chen also fell silent at this time.
It's not that he doesn't want to strike while the iron is hot and prod Holy King Cangming again, asking him to quickly ask the empress to issue an order to remove him, but it's just that there is such a big movement now, and it is inappropriate to say this at this time.
Things have priorities, and the issue of evil party members is obviously not as important as this sudden turmoil.
And anyway, he has fully expressed his position, and the Holy King Cangming will definitely not allow a die-hard emperor like him to continue to exist in the court.
Being dismissed will happen sooner or later, there is no need to rush.
After a while, there was a sudden "click-click" sound outside the hall, and not long after, a young Xuanwu Guard wearing heavy armor appeared at the door of the hall.
"His Royal Highness the Holy King!"
As soon as he walked into the palace, the young general half-knelt on the ground and said loudly: "The east city gate was attacked by the enemy with a very powerful explosion technique. Although the defense technique of the city gate was extremely strong, it was not broken immediately. , but the formation of the city defense formation was shaken. The enemy took advantage of the instability of the formation and released the light and shadow magic to launch a fierce attack on the east gate. General Zhu has led a thousand brothers to meet the enemy."
Hearing this, Jiang Chengdao clasped his hands and asked the young general: "Huaiyi, is the enemy the Forbidden Army?"
Li Huaiyi nodded heavily.
"Yes, Your Majesty the Holy King, the enemy's main formation is erected with the Red Dragon Flag of the Forbidden Army and the Xuanfeng Flag of the Former Queen Mother."
"Heh...Xuanfeng Qi, in order to maintain his power, don't you hesitate to use the name of the Demon Queen?"
Saint King Cangming sneered, "It seems that for these moths, as long as they can ensure their prosperity and wealth, it doesn't matter even if the Queen Mother is a demon queen controlled by evil spirits..."
Hearing this, the courtiers below couldn't help but look a little strange.
Although the fact that the Queen Mother used sorcery to escape has been certified by the Zhuxie Division, and there are also worship experts who were once the Queen Mother's confidants who came forward to prove it, it is basically confirmed, but what is the truth... It's hard to say.
It's just that in name, Saint King Cangming's surprise attack on Luojing can barely stand up legally.
Of course, at this point, whether Queen Mother Zhao is really controlled by evil spirits is not that important.
As the saying goes, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit.
Whoever is the winner can define himself as the righteous party, who obeys the imperial edict and fights against the rebels and eliminates the disobedient.
Therefore, in the eyes of some big bosses who are as clear as a mirror, although the Holy King Cangming has controlled Luojing, the emperor, and has the "righteousness to serve the emperor and obey the orders of the emperor", the line of the queen mother and those who control the Eighth Route Army have suffered heavy losses. With one hundred thousand forbidden troops, there is still a chance for a comeback.
It depends on whether His Royal Highness, the first ambitious Holy King in the history of Central Continent, can use the power of the Holy Relic to completely defeat the counterattack of the Queen Mother's family.
If he can really do it, it will prove that he indeed has the power to weigh the world.
At the same time, it also means that the Great Xia Qi is approaching, and almost no one in the entire Central Continent can stop him from taking that step forward to ascend to the sky and dominate the world.
"Let's go, everyone."
Jiang Chengdao placed his right hand on the hilt of the black dragon sword at his waist and slowly raised his feet.
"Follow me to see what those rebellious ministers who dare to collude with evil spirits will look like."
As soon as he finished speaking, the courtiers couldn't help but look at each other.
However, Jiang Chengdao obviously had no intention of giving them any advice. The moment he raised his right foot and dropped it, his whole body suddenly turned into a black light. In less than half a breath, it instantly passed by the civil and military officials. Appeared at the door of the main hall and walked out without looking back.
Seeing this, everyone wanted to say something, but the master was not there, and he had left instructions before leaving. They had no choice but to sigh and slowly walked outside under the gaze of a group of Xuanwu guards.
Lu Chen was naturally no exception.
He walked at the back of the crowd. After all, although he has become famous recently, he is essentially just a seventh-grade petty official. Although the Kedao Yanguan is a special official position with power and low status, but the official rank is there, he is now also He could only follow those courtiers.
The courtiers in front avoided him like the god of plague, as if they were afraid of getting too close to him.
Lu Chen also enjoyed his leisure time and was too lazy to go over and talk to other courtiers.
His purpose is to find ways to be dismissed from office. If this is the case, then he is destined not to get too close to other courtiers.
After all, when a person is incompatible with his surroundings, he is easily ostracized, and once he is ostracized by everyone, he is not far away from becoming an immortal.
This is also a way of rationally removing the body's official skin.
Although once Saint King Cangming regains his composure, he will definitely deal with him and beat him to the bottom, but it is always a good idea to make more preparations.
