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

"When the holy driver travels, stay away quietly!!"

Xingping County County Government Office Gate.

Accompanied by a high-pitched voice, the huge emperor's ceremonial guard began to move quickly towards the south gate.

The empress sat in the middle carriage, while Lu Chen and Jiang Chengdao rode their respective mounts to clear the way in front of the carriage. Chai Hongyu and Gu Simiao, two Guiyi Realm powerhouses, followed behind Lu Chen. Liyue and a group of mysterious The Jiwei master was next to Jiang Chengdao.

In addition to the experts, there are thousands of elite guards from Qing Ning Guard.

Although there are not many troops, with this configuration of combat power, if they are sent out to attack the city, they can easily conquer an earth-level city, which is more than enough to protect the Holy Driver.

Even a bit wasteful.

Not to mention anything else, the combat power of the empress alone far exceeds that of most cultivators in the world. If you really want to calculate it, it is really uncertain who will protect whom.

At least it wasn't Lu Chen, a scumbag who wasn't good at fighting, to protect him. The empress could still protect him.

Following the order, all the troops took action.

Returning to Beijing this time was different from when he came here. When he came, Jiang Chengwan was worried about Lu Chen and was so anxious that he naturally wanted to rush to Xingping County immediately. Therefore, everything was kept simple along the way, but there was nothing to rush on the way home.

The blood epidemic has been brought under control. All we need to do next is to follow Lu Chen's plan and get the resources needed to completely control the blood epidemic to completely quell it. Not only that, we might also be able to get a highly loyal army that is even more powerful than Xuanwu. Guard more powerful top-level combat power.

There are three major battalions in Luo Jing, and Fu Huan, a peerless expert who not only has the cultivation level of Guiyi Realm, but also has extremely high attainments in formations, is basically impossible to cause any trouble.

There's no need to rush.

In this case, the etiquette that the emperor should have when traveling naturally has to be arranged.

The central main road had been cleared beforehand, and there was no pedestrian at all. It was empty. The team moved forward smoothly, and it didn't take long before they arrived at the South City Gate.

However, as soon as the team left the city gate, they saw that although there was still no one on the official road directly in front of the city, there were crowds of people on both sides of the road. Thousands of people from Xingping County gathered here spontaneously.

Seeing these people, everyone couldn't help but be stunned.

Lu Chen's hand holding the reins tightened instinctively, and then he looked around at the people around him as if feeling something, a complex look flashed in his eyes.

As soon as the people in Xingping County saw the car coming out, they immediately knelt down and shouted:

"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"

"Congratulations to General Gu!"

“Congratulations to Mr. Lu!!!!”

When Lu Chen's name was finally called, they shouted loudly, and some even shouted hysterically. Although the combined voices were uneven and seemed a bit messy, they were like the sounds of nature, reaching everyone in the team. In one’s ears.

Seeing this scene, Lu Chen couldn't help but take a deep breath, then stepped forward on his horse, then raised his hand and bowed to the people in salute.

Although he did not respond, the dignified second-rank minister of the Ministry of Industry, whose nominal power was second only to the minister of the cabinet, paid such a great gift to the people, which was already an extremely profound response.

Seeing Lu Chen respond so solemnly, all the people were flattered and lowered their upper bodies lower to express their respect and love.

Click…

At this moment, the beaded curtain of the carriage was suddenly opened, and Jiang Chengwan walked out slowly, looking at the people kneeling on the ground like a tide in front of him. Listening to the shouts of gratitude that were obviously extremely sincere, the pretty little girl On his face, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, revealing a bright smile.

At the same time, a huge amount of special spiritual power unconsciously poured out, continuously merging with the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth, covering her whole body, constantly nourishing the spiritual veins in her body, making the spiritual veins stronger and able to contain more spiritual energy. constantly improving……

Not only her, but Gu Simiao and Chai Hongyu behind Lu Chen also exhaled a breath of turbidity at the same time. An intoxicating blush appeared on their pretty faces. The air around their bumpy and delicate bodies seemed to solidify, making their figures change. It becomes increasingly blurry.

The majestic spiritual pressure inside made everything containing spiritual energy within a ten-mile radius tremble.

Changyu subconsciously clenched his fists, blood surged in his chest, and there seemed to be an indescribable flame rising deep in his heart.

The cultivation that had just stabilized a few days ago was showing signs of breaking through again.

Not only him, but the other young Qingning Guards and some soldiers around him also turned red, with strange colors in their eyes, as if they were about to break through.

"Um?"

Jiang Chengdao glanced at them subconsciously, then thought for a moment, and finally his eyes rested on Lu Chen.

Except for a very small number of extremely talented people in this world, it is extremely difficult for normal cultivators to improve their cultivation. After all, enlightenment is too difficult, but...for those who are close to Lu Chen, breakthroughs seem to be like eating and drinking. Water is as simple as water.

Not to mention, his former proud subordinate Fu Hua, who had been stuck in the Dongxu Realm for a long time, broke through after just a trip to Yuzhou with Lu Chen, and his sister, who was originally extremely difficult to understand the power of the emperor. However, she continued to realize the Tao through Lu Chen's contact, and her strength improved by leaps and bounds. Now, even the masters in the Dzogchen Realm are no longer necessarily her opponents.

It can be said that the Qingning Guards were trained by Lu Chen. Although their current combat power is not as good as that of the Xuanwu Guards and Can Ling Guards, the gap is not particularly large. Compared with when they were first transferred to the Imperial Guards, at least It was twice as strong, and its growth rate was terrifying.

These are just the guards who are close to him. If they are the guards directly commanded by him...

hiss!

Jiang Chengdao couldn't help but take a breath when he thought about the new army that would soon be handed over to his command.

He now knows better than anyone else that what is truly terrifying about Lu Chen is not only his erudition, his life-threatening loyalty, and his outstanding intelligence, but also his terrifying ability to cultivate talents.

If you think about it carefully, Jiang Chengwan, Gu Simiao, Fu Hua, Fang Yu, Li Yue, Su Ning, Liu Ruowei, Zhang Shiping, Su Shuang... the rapid improvement in strength of each of these people who has followed him or worked with him is obvious to all. If this trend continues, these people will become pillars of the court in the future.

With the extremely potential Guards and this man who could always create miracles, he didn't even dare to imagine how powerful this growing Guards would be in the future. Neither the Wei nor the Cang Ling Wei can compare with this new army.

With the establishment of the Guards, it is not impossible to defeat the eight pillar countries and truly shock the world...

After thinking about this, Jiang Chengdao's eyes suddenly became deeper and deeper when he looked at Lu Chen.

At this time, Lu Chen didn't know that the collective enlightenment he had brought about this time had actually attracted Jiang Chengdao's unprecedented attention.

Fortunately, he didn't have the ability to read minds, otherwise he would be so depressed that he would vomit blood.

Fuck, why are the people around me able to gain enlightenment casually just by relying on me? Each breakthrough in strength is more outrageous than the last, but I just keep standing still.

Is this really a humanoid plug-in?

Only others can use this plug-in, but not myself?

In the end, with the sincere tribute of the people, the huge convoy finally left Xingping County completely and drifted away in the direction of Luojing. (End of chapter)
