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

da da da

The tranquility of the early morning was instantly shattered by the sound of heavy horseshoes. In the dusty sky, tens of thousands of cavalry in black armor galloped on the Cangyun Road dozens of miles away from Luojing. The black torrent composed of iron hooves was unstoppable Under the terrifying power of the enemy, everything in front of him was continuously torn to shreds.

Soon, tens of thousands of riders rode to a fork at the end of Cangyun Road not far away.

At this time, Jiang Chengdao, the leader, suddenly controlled the Jueying horse under his crotch to slow down, and then asked his subordinates to raise the command flag to stop the army from advancing.

"Pass down the order, and the whole army will rest in place."

"Yes, His Royal Highness."

Li Zheng, who was wearing a blue shirt behind him, rode forward and came to the side of Jiang Chengdao. Looking at the fork in the road not far away, he slowly raised his right hand and stroked his short beard, and said to Jiang Chengdao:

"Your Highness, the right side of the fork in front of you is the Sien Road leading to the Luojing Nanhua Gate, and the left side is the Shenglin Road leading to the Huangji Gate. After entering the Holy Lindao, the army can see it at the current marching speed. The Cangming Holy Army can reach the Huangji Gate in an hour."

Speaking of this, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a rather contented smile, and continued with a look of holding a wisdom pearl: "Presumably all the ministers in the court have rushed to the Huangji Gate at this time, waiting to welcome His Highness Be the master of Luo Jing."

Click!

The crisp sound of armor interlacing.

Jiang Chengdao turned his head and glanced at him. Under the ferocious mask, there was an elusive depth in those cold eyes.

A moment later, he summoned an orderly.

"Pass down the king's order. After half an hour, the whole army will march towards Si'en Road, and they must arrive at Nanhua Gate within two hours!"

Hearing this, Li Zheng was stunned.

At the same time, a wave of uneasiness slowly emerged in his heart.

His Royal Highness, what does this mean...

…………………

Luojing, in front of Chongdefang.

Xiao Yun was the first to react, and immediately said to Lu Chen anxiously, "Huaiyu, don't speak nonsense!"

But Wu Zongyun suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed: "Hahahahaha!"

"Young man, do you know what your words mean?"

Lu Chen looked calm and calm: "Of course I know."

He knows better than anyone what his "stupid" choice means.

When Luo Jing's change is about to come, among the hundred officials, the Yingfeng faction can at least retain a place in the officialdom; Ming Shengwang appreciates and treats him with courtesy.

However, in the end, the diehard faction, which is almost impossible to exist, must have an extremely miserable end.

Not only will he be dismissed from office, but his life will also be lost, and his posthumous reputation cannot be guaranteed.

But for Lu Chen, this has no deterrent effect at all.

Because, this is what he wanted to do.

Wu Zongyun didn't know the reason. Regarding Lu Chenna's words, which seemed like a fairy tale, he just slowly narrowed his eyes, with a dangerous gleam in his eyes:

"Do you dare to say it again?"

"Why don't you dare?" Lu Chen still didn't waver, and said every word: "My servant, Lu Chen in the engineering department, is going to the government office to handle official business!"

After all, he looked at Wu Zongyun expressionlessly, and said lightly: "Wu Shilang can hear you clearly this time?"

"Good! Very good! Very good!"

Wu Zongyun said three good words in a row, and looked at Lu Chen as if he was looking at a dead person: "I didn't expect the old man to miss it. Not only are you not as open-minded as people like me and others who care about the common people, but you are more generous than me." Those who only know how to maintain their dignity and disregard the world are even more ignorant, they are simply stupid and hopeless!"

Xiao Yun opened her mouth, as if she wanted to persuade Lu Chen again, but she swallowed the words again, and then her expression became a little complicated, and there was a faint sense of self-ashamedness on that beautiful face. means.

"If loyalty to the emperor and patriotism is a kind of stupidity."

Lu Chen didn't look at Wu Zongyun again, but looked up at the sky at a forty-five degree angle, looking at the fish-belly whiteness rising from the sky, the indescribable depth and profoundness appeared in his calm eyes, and slowly said the weightless words words:

"Then just be a fool for the rest of your life."

As soon as the words were finished, a faint light suddenly flashed in an imperceptible corner of the alleyway behind Xiao Yun.

Xiao Yun looked at Lu Chen with splendor, but Wu Zongyun felt an indescribable sense of shame, which gave him an inexplicable strong desire to escape from here as soon as possible.

He shook his hands violently, snorted coldly, and said, "Hmph! I want to see if you will be as stubborn as you are now after you are dismissed from office and taken to the execution ground with all the charges!"

After leaving this sentence, without waiting for Lu Chen to speak, he turned around abruptly, ignored the two of them, and walked quickly towards the north avenue.

After Wu Zongyun left, Xiao Yun finally spoke: "Huaiyu, are you really, planning to do this?"

Lu Chen said seriously without hesitation: "Your Majesty is a courtier of Shenghe personally appointed by His Majesty. From the moment I received the seal letter, I am doomed to do nothing for His Majesty in this life. Therefore, no matter what happens, I will never disappoint Your Majesty's kindness, as long as Your Majesty has not withdrawn from my position, I will definitely do my duty to the end."

Feeling Lu Chen's firm determination and seeing his unshakable eyes, Xiao Yun was a little crazy for a while.

There are really such loyal people in this world...

However, Lu Chen felt a little uncomfortable in his heart because of what he said just now.

Specifically, it's a little...nausea...

He didn't want to say such a thing, but there was no way, who let him have such a wonderful system?

And this is also the image he wants to show to the Holy King Cangming——

A monk who is absolutely loyal to the Empress.

Xiao Yun asked softly: "Aren't you... not afraid?"

"I'm afraid." Lu Chen sighed, "But I'm even more afraid that I will have no face to face His Majesty Tianyan after a hundred years."

Hearing this, Xiao Yun lowered her head inexplicably.

"Didn't your teacher interfere with your decision?"

Lu Chen said indifferently: "I interfered, but I ignored their opinions. This may be the so-called insistence on going my own way."

He wasn't lying about that.

Just yesterday, not long after Xiao Yi left, an elder from the sect he worshiped when he was studying came over and told him not to cause trouble for the sect again, and at the same time told him to hurry up and go Huangji Gate welcomes the Holy King.

Otherwise, you will be expelled from the division!

Then he was kicked out by Lu Chen with an "angry face".

An unbelievable possibility emerged in Xiao Yun's mind, and she subconsciously asked, "Then they..."

However, before she could finish speaking, Lu Chen said calmly, "I'm alone now, with no attachments."

There are no close relatives in the previous life, and the not-so-popular master also disappeared two years ago. Therefore, in the sect, there are not many people who know him well, and Xiao Yi is one of them.

Moreover, it was the previous sect, which was almost meaningless to him, so he naturally didn't need to consider these things.

Just like the future father-in-law in the previous predecessor, it would be best to cut it off to save trouble.

Swish!

Xiao Yun raised her head abruptly, and fixedly stared at Lu Chen.

It is impossible for her to know that Lu Chen is invincible after being dismissed from office, so in her eyes, Lu Chen's image at this time has suddenly been elevated by countless layers. The mentality of admiring him at first has now become that he can be compared with the master. of great respect.

In her opinion, you can call Lu Chen a loyal and upright minister until death, but you can't help but admire him, because he has done what most people can't do.

"does it worth."

It took a long time for Xiao Yun to spit out a few words with difficulty.

Hearing this, Lu Chen couldn't help but rolled his eyes in his heart.

'MD, why do these people surnamed Xiao like to ask such questions...'

Xiao Yun said again: "Your Majesty...she has been controlled by the Queen Mother Zhao since she ascended the throne, and there is nothing outstanding about it. Maybe it is not worth it for you to do this. If you regret it now, there is still time to redeem it..."

She didn't want Lu Chen to meet the Holy King Cangming, but she also didn't want him to go to Ziji City to end his official career.

However, Lu Chen's expression was the same as when he faced Wu Zongyun before, without the slightest wavering.

"I will never regret it, and I have always firmly believed that if Your Majesty has the opportunity to govern in person, she will definitely become a holy emperor who is both virtuous and benevolent, and will surpass Taizu."

regret? How can it be? All he did was to offend the Holy King Cangming in order to be demoted, otherwise would this broken official keep his body for the New Year?

Now there is no suspense about the Holy King Cangming becoming the new emperor, as long as he goes to Ziji City to add trouble to the Holy King Cangming at this time, he will 100% be dismissed from office on the spot by the furious him and thrown into the prison.

Then... rise to immortality in situ!

With such a good situation, Lu Chen felt that he could definitely get his wish this time.

After all, the flying dragon is riding on the face now, you tell me how to lose?

Unless the Holy King of Cangming is really like the banner he played when he first came out, "Please punish the demon queen, return the power to the empress, and rectify the universe", the mobilization of troops to the south is really just to help the empress regain power.

But how is this possible?

Therefore, Lu Chen, Ziji City, has decided to go, even a saint can't stop him, he said!
