Under the Xuanji Sect.
The empress walked forward slowly with an expressionless face, towards the Holy King Cangming who was riding towards him.
The moment the palace maids and eunuchs saw King Cangming appear, their legs trembled and they could no longer walk. The surrounding guards also stopped tacitly and stood still. Only Lu Chen followed the empress step by step.
When they saw that the empress actually appeared, Li Zheng and others were shocked.
Although it was unexpected, it was not incomprehensible that Lu Chen, an idiot, dared to go on duty in Ziji City.
After all, no matter what this stupid idiot does, it's not surprising.
But it seemed strange for the empress to appear at this time.
They really couldn't figure it out. The news that Saint King Cangming was preparing to enter the capital forcefully should have spread throughout Ziji City long ago. The empress couldn't possibly not know it. No matter how stupid she was, she should have realized that her puppet emperor was over. Immediately He will be replaced by Saint King Cangming.
Almost none of the deposed emperors who were ousted from the throne had a good ending since ancient times.
So shouldn't the empress be trembling somewhere in the palace at this time, waiting for her tragic fate with fear? Why does it appear here?
A series of questions rose in their minds, but it was naturally impossible for anyone to answer them at this time.
Not only them, but Lu Chen, who was following the empress at this time, also felt like he didn't have enough brains.
What are you doing? Why are you taking the initiative to give someone a head?
Without any time to think, Lu Chen directly passed Jiang Chengwan, walked up to her, blocked her behind him, and then shouted angrily towards the Holy King Cangming who was riding a horse not far away: "His Royal Highness, stop!"
Seeing that he took the initiative to protect herself at this time, Jiang Chengwan couldn't help but stop, raised his head slightly, and stared deeply at Lu Chen's back without moving forward.
snap…
The iron hoofs stepped on the hard stone, making a crisp sound.
As if he didn't hear anything, Saint King Cangming drove the Jueying Horse forward step by step.
Seeing this, Lu Chen's expression darkened, but he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
'Okay, okay, it seems that Saint King Cangming is still normal. Next, we just need to completely offend him to death according to the plan...'
Thinking of this, he took a deep breath, and then shouted to Jiang Chengdao: "Holy King Cangming, you dare to ride your horse in front of His Majesty in Ziji City. Don't you know that this is a great disrespect to His Majesty? Or? Say you want to rebel?!"
Hearing this, Li Zheng and others who had just reacted couldn't help but sneered.
Saint King Cangming came here to seize the imperial power. Let alone riding his horse in front of the empress, it was easy to force the empress to do this or that.
Except for the other three holy kings who were also selected by the holy relics, almost no one can stop the holy king who possesses supreme holy power.
Not to mention Lu Chen, an ordinary civil servant with a stupid brain, even the Eight Pillar Generals who guarded all directions could not be the opponent of the Holy King. This kind of absolute power was simply not something ordinary people could match.
I really don’t know where this guy got the courage to stand in front of the Holy King.
I simply don’t know how to live or die!
The Holy King of Cangming can suppress a fourth-level official to the point of being unable to move with just his momentum. For a low-ranking official like Lu Chen, the Holy King does not even need to draw his sword. He can destroy him physically and mentally with just a move of his finger.
"oh?"
Jiang Chengdao stared at Lu Chen coldly, with clear murderous intent in his eyes.
"Are you teaching me how to do things?"
"So what?"
Facing Jiang Chengdao's obviously unkind words and extremely cold eyes, Lu Chen looked disdainful without any fear.
"Others are afraid of you, but I, Lu Huaiyu, am not afraid of you. I will die to repay His Majesty's kindness."
The smile under Jiang Chengdao's mask grew stronger, but when he spoke, he made a frightening voice: "Are you really not afraid of death?"
"Humph, why not die?!"
Lu Chen snorted coldly, then slowly stepped forward, and at the same time took out the fluorene board usually used in court from his waist, and poured all his spiritual energy into it, as if he was ready to fight at any time.
"I was originally a minister from Yitian in Yongchuan. I studied hard for more than ten years and worked hard for the fame I sought. I was almost stolen by a villain. Fortunately, Your Majesty was aware of everything and nominated me with a golden pen in the Jinluan Palace. How can we not repay such a great favor with death?!"
The powerful words echoed around, causing ripples in Jiang Chengwan's heart.
She took a deep breath, and her heart, which had become rock-solid after being tempered by countless hardships, felt a little shaken at this moment.
Under the long and narrow bangs, the eyes that had almost lost their tear ducts were slightly flushed, causing Lu Chen's figure in front of him to gradually blur.
Even though everyone had given up on her as the puppet emperor, even though everyone was surrounded by enemies, she still chose to stand up without hesitation and sacrifice her life to face the legendary almost invincible Holy King. Qi is generally tall.
Lu Chen didn't notice the empress's gaze, but suppressed his inner excitement, blocking the path of Saint King Cangming sitting on his Jueying Horse, protecting the empress behind him.
Then, in the eyes of everyone, who were either cold, mocking, appreciative, or admiring, he said loudly: "Jade can be broken but its whiteness cannot be changed; bamboo can be burned but its joints cannot be destroyed; although the body dies, the name can be remembered. What's there to fear about bamboo and silk?!"
After the words fell, except for Li Zheng and others who continued to sneer and ridicule, everyone else was moved.
Who else can be said to be unparalleled in loyalty and righteousness besides this person?
Jiang Chengdao's scalp was a little numb.
This kind of person deserves his promotion!
As he spoke, the Jueying Horse had already walked in front of Lu Chen, and then he snorted hard and did not go any further. It trampled to death countless enemy soldiers and evil spirits to crush the "unknowing man" in front of him with its iron hooves. The idiot of "Current Affairs" was crushed into a pulp, but just stopped.
"Seriously you won't let me?"
Jiang Chengdao's voice became colder and colder.
Lu Chen held the fluorene board with one hand and said coldly: "Unless I am dead or no longer in the court, I will never let anyone act recklessly in front of His Majesty!"
"The mantis is using his arms as a chariot, and he doesn't know whether to live or die!"
Before Jiang Chengdao could speak again, Li Zheng behind him shouted loudly: "Why would His Highness the Holy King waste words with such stubborn people? Since he is looking for death, why don't Your Highness just help him and give him a happy life?"
Hearing this, Jiang Chengwan's eyes suddenly turned cold.
With a glance from the corner of his eye, he remembered the shouting of Li Zheng and others at this moment in his heart.
However, Lu Chen, who seemed to be upright and would rather die than surrender, wanted to give Li Zheng and the others a thumbs up.
Good teammate, if you can speak, speak more!
Jiang Chengdao didn't even look at them. Instead, he looked down at Lu Chen and said with interest:
"Haha... You are such a loyal person. Seeing how loyal you are, I will be merciful and give your Majesty a chance."
Hearing this, Lu Chen couldn't help but twitch the corners of his eyes.
What a mess! Why don't you just kill me and then do whatever you have to do? Why does Mao have to do this?
But complaining was a complaint, and he still didn't want to cause trouble, so he said directly: "What do you mean?"
"It's very simple."
Jiang Chengdao said slowly: "As long as you stand in front of me, I will never do anything arrogant. But if you kneel down in front of me, haha..."
At the end of the sentence, he let out a terrifying sneer.
Although he didn't say it clearly, he knew what he meant by thinking about it with his butt.
Lu Chen rolled his eyes wildly in his heart.
How could I, an ordinary cultivator, be able to stop the legendary Holy King?
Using a mantis as a chariot? Mr. Li, you think too highly of me.
Bacteria can't stop high-speed trains.
What this guy said was like taking off his pants and farting, it stunk.
When Lu Chen complained habitually, Jiang Chengdao's eyes suddenly condensed, and all the focus in his eyes was on Lu Chen.
"I want to see how long you can stop me!"
The moment the arrogant words fell, a majestic force burst out from Jiang Chengdao, gathered in an instant, and finally pressed down on Lu Chen like a mountain.
That power was actually much stronger than when he suppressed Li Zheng before!
Bang!
Lu Chen only felt a huge force coming from behind, and his whole body was instantly suppressed and unable to move.
Moreover, the suppressed force on his back became stronger and stronger, as if it was going to bend his knees and make him kneel down on the spot and surrender to the Holy King Cangming in front of him.
Fortunately, he was well prepared. He concentrated all his spiritual power on his feet and waist, and just refused to give in despite the power of Saint King Cangming.
The knees did not bend at all.
Not moving at all!
"His Majesty…"
Lu Chen gritted his teeth, and while struggling to support himself under the power of the Holy King, he tried his best to shout weakly to the empress behind him: "Go quickly!!!"
