In a three-story teahouse a few hundred meters away from Prince Yu's Mansion, more than twenty interested people from the upper reaches of Yuzhou and Suizhou looked nervously at the gate of the Prince's Mansion.
On one side is King Yu, who has been rampant in Yuzhou for many years with the dignity of the top royal family, making the subjects of Yuzhou dare to be angry and dare not speak out for decades. On the other side is the holy family member Jilong, who is deeply trusted by the empress and holds the sword of the emperor to control the military and political machinery of the two states. The important governor Lu Chen.
The fierce life-and-death conflict between these two behemoths, no matter what the outcome, will have a great impact on Yuzhou.
As prominent figures in Yuzhou, they would not remain indifferent to such a big event.
Especially Lu Chen, the fierce dragon crossing the river.
In fact, since Lu Chen took charge of Yuzhou, they have been paying close attention to all his movements, trying every means to inquire about his every move and find out his temperament and style of doing things.
When Lu Chen led a group of Xuanji Guards who were armed and strong and rushed straight to Prince Yu's Mansion, they had already received the news. They were shocked and quickly sent people, or even came over personally to inquire about the situation.
The world is about to change, how can they still sit still now?
In order to see clearly the future direction of Yuzhou and Suizhou, so as to profit from it or avoid disaster, almost all the prominent figures in Yuzhou and Suizhou focused their attention on Prince Yu's Mansion, which was so murderous that even the sky above split open. superior.
Every time they heard the cry of killing coming from inside, everyone couldn't help but look stern.
He led his army directly into Prince Yu's palace and challenged the majesty of the royal family.
This Lu Chen is really brave!
Is there really nothing in the world that he doesn't dare to do?
"Brother Fan."
On the roof of the tea house, in an inconspicuous corner, Hong Yu and the young scribe in red opened their spiritual shields and looked into the distance, staring at the palace gate like everyone else.
"Do you think Governor Lu can come out of Prince Yu's Mansion alive?"
The young scribe thought for a moment, then shook his head.
"impossible."
He made a direct judgment: "King Yu has been rooted in Yuzhou for many years. With the connivance of the late emperor, he has been extremely cruel. He monopolizes 30% of the resources of Yuzhou. He has all kinds of natural treasures, elixirs, magic scrolls and spiritual equipment. In addition, he is a A first-grade prince, according to the Great Xia system, can have a thousand palace guards. In addition, there must be various powerful large-scale magic arrays in the palace. King Yu's guards are even more powerful when fighting at home. Even a strong man in the Dongxu Realm, They may not be able to win, let alone others, how many Dongxu Realm experts are there in the imperial court for them to control?"
"So, unless the Yuzhou Guards are mobilized to launch a strong attack, there is nothing that can be done to King Yu. Although Lu Chen is a good official, he is too impulsive and does not understand the principle of seeking the country first. Dozens of guards stormed the palace, probably hoping to kill King Yu with the sword of Ji Dao, but little did they know that the opponent was extremely domineering and had always been arrogant and domineering, so how could he be willing to surrender without mercy?"
"I'm afraid, his head is now in a different place, and he will die by the sword of King Yu Wei."
"Is it……"
Hongyu was silent, but did not comment on this.
After a moment, she spoke again.
"If...I mean if..."
She pursed her lips, and then continued: "If Governor Lu had the ability to forcibly capture Prince Yu's Mansion, would he really kill Prince Yu and give an explanation to the more than 800 villagers in those two villages who died innocently?"
"Won't."
The young scribe spoke categorically.
"Why?"
"It's very simple."
The young scribe said matter-of-factly: "Because all the officials in the world know one truth, that is - the royal family should not be touched lightly, otherwise it is very likely to be catastrophic. If there is no great reason, killing the royal family is to end one's career and give up the opportunity." The opportunity for the power of the world to reach the path of immortality.”
"In the final analysis, the governor of the two states is just a temporary official position. Although the position is high and powerful, it is only temporary. He always wants to return to the temple to seek a high position in order to influence the general trend of the world. How could he do this for the people of one place? ?No matter how pure a monk is, he will not gamble his own path to immortality. If he, Lu Chen, really had this ability, the most he could do is escort King Yu back to the capital and hand him over to the Tianzong Mansion. This can be regarded as giving justice to the people who were killed. ”
"This world is, after all, a world of monks. The master of the Great Xia Dynasty is ultimately named Jiang."
The last sentence was as heavy as a thousand words, and it was so heavy that it took one's breath away.
"That's it..."
Hongyu groaned, looking a little sad.
She knew that the world was indeed as the young scribe said.
The monks wholeheartedly seek immortality, and entering the court to serve as an official to govern the country and bring peace to the people is essentially just a means to reach the ethereal immortality by leveraging the general trend of the world, rather than an end.
But for some reason, when she looked at Lu Chen's resolute eyes from a distance in Qu'er Village, she felt a strange feeling.
She subconsciously felt that Lu Chen seemed different from other monks.
"That…"
Hongyu rubbed the hem of her clothes habitually, and said with a rather hesitant look: "What if he really kills King Yu?"
"hehe…"
The young scribe shook his head and smiled.
"If there is such a great husband in the world, and he can hold a high position, then the world of Daxia will really be saved."
After a pause, he said with determination: "And we don't have to follow the Holy Duke anymore. We can just follow him directly. As long as he is safe and the world is safe, why do we have to do things that affect the common people? ? What's more, with an unparalleled warrior like him ruling the world, it is very likely that Great Xia will once again usher in a prosperous age, or even a prosperous age. With the country's foundation so stable, Shenggong and other rebels..."
Click…
Before the young scribe could finish speaking, there was a sudden loud noise from the gate of Prince Yu's Mansion not far away.
At the same time, the originally rich aura of water in the sky suddenly spread rapidly to the outside without any warning. The heavy rain that lasted for most of the day suddenly stopped, and the dark clouds that had shrouded Yuzhou for more than half a month gradually dissipated at this moment. trend.
Click... click...
The moment the clouds disappeared and the rain stopped, the crisp sound of horse hooves rang in everyone's ears.
At this moment, whether it was Yuzhou magistrate Zhao Ping, Tuiguan and other local officials of Yuzhou, or people sent by a group of aristocratic families and wealthy gentry, they all held their breath and watched the blurry figure gradually appearing in the door of Prince Yu's palace.
Da da da…
The sound of horse hooves became more frequent, and the figure in the door became clearer and clearer.
After a few breaths, the leader finally rode out of the palace gate.
At this moment, a ray of sunlight suddenly pierced through the dark clouds, pouring on a small area in front of the palace gate, and then continued to spread around, making the scene there clearly visible to everyone.
The moment they saw the figure clearly, almost everyone's eyes widened with disbelief on their faces.
"This...how is this possible..."
Zhao Ping stood up suddenly.
In the small area bathed in sunlight, Lu Chen was riding a royal horse with an expressionless face, controlling the horse to move forward at a leisurely pace.
He held the reins with one hand, and grabbed a bloody object with the other hand.
The sunlight shone on his not-so-tall body, as if he had been covered with a holy coat, making him look inexplicably sacred and awe-inspiring.
Fu Huan was one step behind, following him, followed closely by Fang Yu and a dozen or so Xuanji guards covered in blood.
They stood in the light and moved forward step by step under the dim sky around them, like a ray of light piercing the darkness, extremely conspicuous.
Zhao Ping and others stared intently at the familiar face that Lu Chen was holding in his hand.
"hiss!"
After reacting, they all gasped in unison.
"This guy...actually killed King Yu!"
But on the roof, the young scribe who had just been talking eloquently was stunned at this moment, his mouth kept murmuring, but he couldn't say anything.
"Brother Fan..."
Hongyu took a deep breath, her face filled with bright colors.
"Just now you said that Governor Lu is the one who can stabilize the world, right?"
Young scribe: "..."
