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

Soon, only a few children were still playing in the large grain drying field.

The cheerful and crisp sounds of play give this small village an aura of transcendence.

It's like a rare breath of peace in this turbid world.

at the same time.

Login.

Lu Chen, who had just finished his shift, naturally had no idea what was happening in Yuzhou thousands of miles away, nor did he know that he had hundreds of thousands of longevity tablets inexplicably.

As usual, after he walked out of Ziji City, he walked through the luxurious sedans or BMWs, walked alone towards the east city, and walked home. He was not at all embarrassed because he was favored by the empress and his worth doubled. Change this habit.

At this time, several colorful and beautiful butterflies appeared in the corner of his eye.

The beautiful color made him look over subconsciously.

"There are more and more butterflies recently. Is spring coming?"

Bored thoughts came to mind, and then Lu Chen looked at it for a few moments and then looked away.

"I remember when I first came to this world, it was still the depth of winter. Before I knew it, more than four months had passed. Alas..."

He sighed inexplicably.

More than four months have passed, and he has not even received the reward of being demoted, let alone being promoted to immortal, only a minimum guarantee.

And all rewards except the guarantee are becoming increasingly elusive.

Even the guaranteed reward may not be guaranteed.

The system conditions that were obviously extremely easy to achieve have now become hellishly difficult.

I don't know what went wrong.

Shaking his head, Lu Chen put away his messy thoughts and continued walking quickly towards Dongcheng.

About a quarter of an hour later, he came to Mingjue Street, an unusually wide street.

The surrounding area is full of mansions of high-ranking officials and nobles, and the mansion given to him by the Empress is located in the middle of Mingjue Street, very close to the bustling Dongshi.

Just turn left when you go out and walk a short distance to enjoy the bustling scene, which is extremely convenient.

And when passing by an inexplicably dilapidated red gate——

"Huh? What's wrong with Lu?"

A familiar voice suddenly sounded behind him.

He stopped and turned around, and suddenly saw an elegant middle-aged man looking at him in surprise.

But it was Gu Yanming who had just come out of prison to persuade him not to get involved in the Gu family's troubled waters.

After recognizing Gu Yanming, Lu Chen's expression suddenly turned cold.

"Good day, Hou Dingyuan."

He said hello politely and prepared to leave.

"Lu is leaving things alone."

However, Gu Yanming suddenly walked over.

"I have something to tell you."

Looking at Gu Yanming who walked up to him in a few steps, Lu Chen couldn't help but frown.

MD, you won’t have to do more drama, right?

Chapter 137

"If Marquis Dingyuan wants to persuade me to change my mind, please don't open your mouth."

Lu Chen looked calm and authentic.

"I don't know what is good or bad, and I don't know how to stop losses or adapt to changes. I only know that no matter what happens, it must have a beginning and an end. Whether Miss Gu is loyal or traitorous, no matter what the outcome is, I will deal with it calmly. , never back down.”

With one sentence, Gu Yanming's path was blocked as he was about to speak.

He sighed and said, "It's already happened, Lu, why are you here?"

Gu Simiao has clearly plotted rebellion, the news has spread throughout Luojing, and the Gu family has completely become a notorious rebel.

Almost every day in the past few days, students from the Imperial College, chivalrous men, and people from the capital came to denounce, throw stones, and throw rotten vegetables. The door was left in a mess.

How sad it is that the dignified founding marquis has fallen to this level.

But who is to blame?

It's all self-inflicted.

All I can say is that the family is unfortunate.

Now that things have happened, why bother others? Moreover, he is still a young man with a bright future.

"I still say the same thing."

Lu Chen turned around and raised his steps without hesitation.

"Until the end, loyalty and treachery will be difficult to distinguish, and I believe that Miss Gu has a pure nature and a heart for the common people, and will never be deceived by power. She must have her own reasons for doing this."

After finishing his words, before Gu Yanming could speak again, Lu Chen walked forward quickly.

Looking at Lu Chen's determined back, Gu Yanming opened his mouth, but no words came out, as if something was stuck in his throat, and his expression became increasingly complicated and unspeakable.

at the same time.

In Huangzhou, on an ice field hundreds of miles away from Xuanxin City, a cavalry force of approximately 3 people in white armor and white horses was galloping across the ice.

"Drive! Drive!!"

The white horse neighed from time to time, and while its iron hooves undulated, it brought up pieces of crystal ice, which were then instantly torn apart by the strong wind swayed by the iron horse's sprint.

The biting and biting cold wind howled by, constantly ravaging this white world, but it could not get any closer to the galloping white-armored cavalry.

The terrifying impact of the cavalry is enough to tear everything apart, not to mention that the entire cavalry legion is surrounded by a special spiritual power at this time, and any approaching objects will be directly bounced away by the spiritual power.

Like a speeding arrow, it quickly tore the vast land in half, exposing the blackened land inside.

They are the strongest guard force that has gathered the elite forces of the Cang Ling Army - the Tian Ling Guards, the direct line troops of Gu Simiao.

In front of the fast-speeding cavalry, Gu Simiao was sitting on the back of the divine horse "Chasing the Wind". She was dressed in white as always, her long silver-white hair was swaying in the strong wind, and her cold face was looming.

At this time, she seemed to suddenly discover something. Her originally cold eyes paused for a moment, and then a touch of softness quietly flashed through her eyes.

After a moment, she took an inexplicable deep breath, and her eyes gradually became firm.

"I will definitely keep your faith in my heart, and I will never betray you in this life!"

The moment the murmur that only she could hear fell, Gu Simiao suddenly pulled out her sword.

"Everyone, please follow my commander to kill the traitors of the country, eradicate the evil spirits, and bring peace to the world!"

"promise!"

The soldiers responded in a deep voice, and then suddenly burst out the spiritual power in their bodies, which instantly strengthened the power of the wind movement technique. The already fast marching speed increased again, and the entire cavalry instantly turned into a huge white light and turned towards the sky. Go to the direction of the city.

At this time, in Tianshuang City, in addition to the two Cang Ling Guards who were very close to the Queen Mother, there were dozens or hundreds of generals in military uniforms with extraordinary momentum who were respectfully saluting the Queen Mother.

Their faces showed varying degrees of fatigue, their armors were covered with snowflakes, and their faces looked dusty. It was obvious that they had traveled a long distance to get here to see the Queen Mother.

"I was late waiting for help, please forgive me, Queen Mother!"

The first one, an old man with white beard and hair, bowed slightly and kept his posture extremely low.

Just looking at his humble attitude towards the Queen Mother, it is hard to imagine that he was actually a strong man in the Dongxu Realm who had served as the commander of an army.

After the old man spoke, the others all apologized to the Queen Mother one after another, as lowly as possible.

It was as if what they were facing was not the Demon Queen who had lost her power, but a top king with all the power and ruthless methods that made people afraid.

Empress Dowager Zhao waved her hand, changing her usual strong attitude and said very generously:

"It doesn't matter. You are all loyal ministers who traveled thousands of miles to help me help the country when I was in danger. I was moved before it was too late, so how can I blame you?"

Everyone bowed in unison.

"The Empress Dowager has spoken seriously. Our general family has been loyal for generations. We will repay the favor of the Emperor after receiving the emperor's salary. The Empress Dowager took great care of us when she was in court. Now that we are in trouble, it is the time for us to be loyal. Otherwise, if we remain indifferent, we will end up with the beasts. What's the difference?"

"What's more, the current pseudo-emperor is taking advantage of the Holy Realm and acting against the Holy Way everywhere. If she is allowed to act recklessly, the country of Daxia, which is a hundred thousand miles away, will definitely be ruined in her hands. How can we, Shishixialu, Are you going to turn a blind eye to this and let the fate of the country be lost?"

"The Queen Mother is the pillar of our Great Xia Kingdom and the only hope for the rejuvenation of the Empire. There is no room for error, otherwise the country will be in danger of overthrowing."

"Now that the foolish king is in power and the country is in danger, it is the time for me to die."

"Who else, except the Queen Mother, can turn the tide when it is falling, and support the building when it is about to collapse? I am willing to use my little talent to assist as a minister of ZTE. I only hope that the Xia Dynasty, which is about to collapse, can regain peace." .”

"..."

Hearing everyone's generous words, Queen Mother Zhao couldn't help but smile, and then said with emotion:

"I didn't expect that my mother and son were plotted by that ungrateful white-eyed wolf and suffered such a catastrophe and fell into such a miserable state. Not only did you not add insult to injury, but you were extremely loyal. With all the loyal ministers and good generals here, why worry about the failure of great things?"

"The Queen Mother is so complimentary, I am waiting with sincerity and fear!"

After a wave of business exchanges, the Queen Mother went straight to the topic and said: "According to the information sent back by the vanguard troops, the Holy King Cangming has now appeared on the Suzhou battlefield. The Cangling Army and the Cangming Army are currently fighting to the death. Although the losses are heavy, but We have also achieved certain results. Next, we only need to increase the investment of the main force of the Cang Ling Army. If you and Miao'er work together to attack Suzhou, we will definitely be able to contain the main force of the Cang Ming Army."

Hearing this, everyone's expression froze.

Of course they had heard of Gu Simiao, the niece of the Queen Mother and the future hostess of the Zhao family.

Although they have never fought against each other, Gu Simiao's profound cultivation and dazzling achievements in the fifth level of the Guiyi Realm alone are enough to make people feel at ease.

Although Saint King Cangming is very strong, there is a limit and he is not invincible. Otherwise, if he really has the power to defy the heavens, the vanguard troops may be killed in one encounter.

Judging from the results of the Battle of Suzhou, although the Holy King is extremely powerful, it is not so powerful that it cannot fight.

With Gu Simiao, a strong Guiyi Realm expert with prodigious martial arts, and among them three Dongxu Realm experts and a group of top masters, they would be able to fight against the Holy King.

At this time, the Empress Dowager Zhao said again: "The only person that the faint king relies on is the Holy King Cangming. As long as he and the Cangming army are restrained here, and you can spread the word to various places to take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble, the land of the capital will be at your fingertips."

Hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

Yes, there is no need to completely defeat Holy King Cangming. As long as they can contain his absolute combat power, they will definitely win in the end.

Wonderful~
