Empress: Your Majesty, please respect yourself, I don't want to be promoted

The sudden terrorist explosion instantly attracted everyone's attention.

In the Tai Chi Hall, the expressions of all the courtiers changed at the same time.

"what happened?"

"What happened?"

"Enemy attack?"

"..."

Some of the courtiers looked panic-stricken, some were as still as a mountain, and a small number of courtiers had an inexplicable hint of excitement on their faces.

Such a terrifying big explosion is not something that small-timers can do. Only the regular army of the imperial court can have such powerful weapons or spells.

As for the regular army affiliated to Luojing, apart from the Habayashi Guards, Warrior Battalion and Embroidery Guards stationed in the city, they are only stationed in the pass around Luojing, guarding the capital all the year round. It was also the 800,000 forbidden army commanded by Xia Houyan, the great general of the dynasty.

On the high platform, the Empress and Jiang Chengdao frowned slightly at the same time.

"Sure enough, it's still here..."

While thinking this way, there was no trace of panic in their eyes. Obviously, what happened outside the city gate at this time was completely within their expectations.

Since it is expected, it is natural to be prepared.

The two nodded in tacit understanding, and then Jiang Chengdao waved his hand and laughed loudly: "Hahaha... until now, there are still young people who dare to make trouble under the king's nose. It's really life and death!"

"Everyone, don't panic, and relax, with this king here, Luojing is the safest place in Central Continent. Even if he has thousands of troops, demons and monsters, this king can destroy them with one blow!"

Hearing what the Holy King Cangming, who is one of the most powerful people in Central Continent, said, some courtiers immediately felt relieved.

That's right, Luo Jing's current ruler is the legendary Holy King, a terrifying existence who can change the situation on the battlefield by himself.

Even the dynasty in its heyday was unable to deal with the holy land with all the power of the country, so what is the mere turmoil?

Although Luo Jing is not in the holy realm, only in the holy realm can the holy king display the power of the holy relic, but the Cangming holy king is obviously an exception, otherwise how could he have the ambition to swallow the world?

Only when you step 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 strong the holy relic is, it doesn't make any sense.

Although I don't know how the Cangming Holy King did it, it is an indisputable fact that he can use the power of the holy relic outside the holy realm.

Otherwise, how can it be explained that he was able to descend from the sky without Luo Jing being aware of it? Let Luo Jing change hands, and wipe out all the once powerful queen dowagers in Luo Jing?

With such a powerful presence standing in front of them, those courtiers such as Li Zheng who had just shown their favor to the Holy King were completely relieved.

The reason why they showed their favor to the Holy King so quickly was also 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 win the world...

Lu Chen also fell silent at this time.

It's not that he doesn't want to hit the iron while the iron is hot, and stimulate the Holy King Cangming again, so that he can quickly let the empress decree to dismiss him, but now that there is such a big movement suddenly, it is inappropriate to say these things at this time

Things have to be prioritized, and the matter of the evil party members is obviously not as important as this sudden turmoil.

And anyway, he has fully stated his position, and the Holy King Cangming will definitely not tolerate the emperor's loyalists like him continuing to exist in the court.

Being dismissed is a matter of time, there is no need to worry.

After a while, there was a sudden "click click" sound outside the hall, and not long after that, a young Xuanwu guard general in heavy armor appeared at the door of the hall.

"His Royal Highness!"

As soon as he walked into the hall, the young general half-kneeled on the ground and said loudly: "The east city gate was attacked by the enemy with a powerful detonation technique. Although the defensive technique of the city gate is extremely strong, it was not broken immediately. , but the eyes of the city defense formation were shaken, the enemy army took advantage of the instability of the eyes and released the light and shadow technique to launch a fierce attack on the east gate, General Zhu has led a thousand brothers to meet the enemy."

Hearing this, Jiang Chengdao put his hands behind his back and asked the young general, "Huaiyi, is the enemy the forbidden army?"

Li Huaiyi nodded heavily.

"Yes, His Royal Highness, the enemy's main formation is the Red Dragon Banner of the Forbidden Army and the Xuanfeng Banner of the former Empress Dowager."

"Heh...Xuanfengqi, in order to keep his power, did he not hesitate to use the title of Demon Queen?"

The Holy King Cangming sneered, "It seems that for these moths, as long as their prosperity and wealth can be guaranteed, 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 feel a little weird.

Although the fact that the Queen Mother used sorcery to escape has been certified by the Execution Division, and there is also a consecratory expert who once served as the Queen Mother's confidant to testify, it is basically confirmed, but the truth...it's hard to say.

It's just that in name, the fact that the Sacred King Cangming sent troops to attack Luojing by surprise can barely stand up in terms of legal principles.

Of course, up to now, whether the Queen Mother Zhao is really controlled by Xie Chong is actually not that important.

As the saying goes, the winner is the king, and the loser is the bandit.

Whoever is the victor can define himself as the party of justice, who is seeking rebellion according to the imperial edict, and eradicating disobedient ministers.

Therefore, in the eyes of some big brothers with a clear heart, although the Holy King of Cangming has controlled Luojing, the emperor, and "the righteousness of serving the emperor to order the ministers", but the queen mother's line and the eight With one hundred thousand forbidden troops, there is no chance of a comeback.

It depends on whether His Royal Highness, the first ambitious Holy King in Central Continent's history, can use the power of the holy relic to completely defeat the Queen Mother's counterattack.

If he can really do it, it proves that he does have the capacity 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 and gaining power over the world.

"Let's go, everyone."

Jiang Chengdao put his right hand on the hilt of the Black Dragon Sword at his waist, and at the same time slowly raised his foot.

"Let me go and see what kind of faces those rebellious ministers who dare to go along with the monsters will look like."

As soon as the words fell, the courtiers couldn't help but looked at each other.

However, Jiang Chengdao obviously had no intention of giving them any advice. The moment his raised right foot fell, his whole body suddenly turned into a black light, and in less than half a breath, he passed by all the civil and military officials lined up in an instant. Appeared at the entrance of the main hall, and then walked out without looking back.

Seeing this, although everyone wanted to say something, but the Lord was not there, and he left instructions before leaving, they could only sigh softly, and walked slowly outside under the watchful eyes of the Xuanwu guards.

Lu Chen is no exception.

He walked at the back of the crowd. After all, although he has become famous recently, he is only a seventh-rank official in essence. You can only follow behind those courtiers.

The courtiers in front avoided him as if avoiding the plague god, as if they were afraid of getting too close to him.

Lu Chen was also happy to be at leisure, too lazy to talk to other courtiers.

His purpose was to find ways to be dismissed from office, and since that was the case, he was destined not to get too close to other courtiers.

After all, it is only when a person is out of tune with the surroundings that he is easily rejected, and once he is rejected by everyone, then he is not far from becoming an immortal.

This is also a way of rationally removing the official skin.

Although the Holy King of Cangming will definitely deal with him and beat him to the end when he recovers, but it is not wrong to make more preparations.
