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

"kill!"

Bang bang bang! !

The rumble of horse hoofs sounded again, and at Gu Simiao's order, the Tianling Guards' cavalry rushed towards Tianshuang City at high speed, rushing into the city without any hindrance in an instant.

What followed was bloody killing.

The constant splatter of blood in Tianshuang City also brought a complete end to the dark era.

Chapter 139 The Important Person

Luojing, Ziji City.

Xuanji Gate.

Lu Chen crossed the gate on time as always and walked towards the direction of Tai Chi Hall.

"Lu is here to help."

As soon as he passed through the Liuke Corridor, a rather familiar voice sounded beside him.

Turning around, he saw Qian Yiqian, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, Zhao Bingliang, Minister of Dali Temple, and other "good teammates" who often got together, looking at him with smiles, with a hint of meaning in their eyes, and at the same time, they were looking at him unhurriedly. Come.

When they came up to them, Lu Chen greeted him politely: "I've met Qian Shangshu, I've met Zhao Siqing, I've met Zheng Shilang..."

Qian Yiqian and the others just nodded lightly, and then Qian Yiqian got straight to the point and said, "Lu Guisheng, do you still remember what you said when you vouched for Gu Simiao in the court?"

"remember."

Lu Chen said without hesitation: "If Miss Gu really betrays the imperial court, I am willing to kill her together."

"Ah…"

Qian Yiqian and others sneered at the same time, and then shook their heads with pretense of regret.

Zheng Zhong took a step forward, looked into Lu Chen's calm eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Now that the fifteen-day appointment has passed, Suzhou is still raging with war. If His Highness the Holy King had not personally led the troops to resist, I am afraid that Huguan, Suzhou, Tongguan and Liangzhou provinces have fallen into the hands of the Demon Queen."

"Without Gu Simiao's great help, how could the Demon Queen have made a comeback in such a short period of time and threatened the imperial court?"

The implication is obvious, accusing Lu Chen of wrongly trusting Gu Simiao and allowing the traitors of the Gu family to live for a few more days, which damaged the dignity of the court and exposed them to accusations and doubts from all sides.

Lu Chen glanced at him expressionlessly.

"I believe that Miss Gu did this to paralyze the Demon Queen and gain her trust, in order to completely eliminate the Demon Queen's troubles and stabilize the world."

Hearing this, several people laughed at the same time.

They didn't bother to argue with Lu Chen, they just looked at Lu Chen like a fool.

The war in Huangzhou is so fierce, why are you still worried?

If you say this, even a three-year-old child wouldn't believe it, right?

If Gu Simiao is really a loyal minister, I would write my name upside down!

"Lu Gaishi is very determined and unparalleled. I admire him."

Qian Yiqian seemed to praise him, and then changed the topic and said with a hint: "Nowadays, the world is deteriorating, people's hearts are not the same as before, and a sincere and trustworthy gentleman like Lu Gaishi is becoming more and more popular." That's missing. I hope Lu Gaishi that you can stick to your original intention, be the same on the outside and the same on the outside, don't be influenced by external things, and set a good example for future generations."

Hearing this hypocritical reminder to keep his promise, Lu Chen couldn't help but twitch the corners of his eyes slightly.

This guy is indeed my good teammate...

Thinking of this, Lu Chen raised his hand, arched it towards Qian Yiqian, and said with an extremely calm expression:

"Don't worry, Minister Qian. I can do everything except break my promise and get rich. No matter what, even if Your Majesty is merciful and generous, I will never live in an ignoble way."

"it is good!"

Zhao Bingliang gave Lu Chen a thumbs up.

"Lu Gai is true to his word. He is truly a role model for the younger generation. I admire him!"

Zheng Zhong and others also praised Lu Chen with narrowed eyes.

Afterwards, the few people exchanged casual greetings with Lu Chen, then walked quickly towards the Tai Chi Hall, directly distanced themselves from Lu Chen.

At the moment when their backs were turned to Lu Chen, several people's faces showed a sarcastic smile.

at the same time.

In Suzhou City, thousands of miles away.

Jiang Chengdao sorted out his military equipment a little, then rode the divine horse Jueying, and went to summon the Xuanwu Guards who had lost Fu Hua, which was almost equivalent to losing half of their souls, to prepare for the vanguard guards of the Cang Ling Army who had been completely disabled by him. One final blow to end the battle here as quickly as possible.

Then, the commanding army marched towards Huangzhou to regain the land in Huangzhou that had become the home of Queen Mother Zhao.

To be honest, even he was not completely sure of defeating the Cang Ling Army commanded by Gu Simiao as he was too far away from the empress to use much of the power of the Holy Spirit.

It would be the same even if the vanguard of the Cang Ling Army were treated like dogs by him.

In the world of warriors, although there is only one major difference in cultivation between Guiyi Realm and Dongxu Realm, their strength is completely different.

With almost the same hard power in other aspects, the ten cave virtual realms are no match for the Guiyi realm. What's more, Gu Simiao has fought with fewer enemies several times, and in the end, he defeated enemies ten times his size. With a glorious record of battles and killings, he is definitely a famous general in the world.

Therefore, it was not easy for him to conquer Huangzhou.

Especially since the empress gave him an additional task...

In this battle, he did not expect to completely get rid of the Queen Mother Zhao and regain the countless wealth stolen by her. After all, he was unable to use all his strength and had no means to prevent the Queen Mother from escaping with the fairy magic weapon.

As long as they can defeat the Cang Ling Army, take back Huangzhou, and eliminate the border threat.

And just when he held this idea and led a group of Cangming troops out of the gate of Suzhou City, preparing to order the march——

Boom boom~

In the thick snow and fog, the sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded from the northwest, approaching from far away.

Judging from the sound of horse hooves, the other party should only have about twenty riders.

Jiang Chengdao frowned slightly, then raised his hand to signal Cangming Jun behind him to stop first.

Not long after, more than 20 white horses appeared in front of everyone.

If you look carefully, you can see that on the back of each white horse, there is almost a tall soldier wearing Cang Ling Army standard armor and holding various weapons.

The leader was a young woman riding a white horse with one horn, wearing a long robe that was stained red by blood and turned brown, with only a bit of white visible.

Both the leading woman and the cavalry had obviously gone through a fierce battle. Not only were their bodies covered in blood, their armors were also full of marks left by swords that had been slashed hard on them, and almost everyone had suffered. Injuries of varying degrees, and the dried wounds inside can be seen through the damaged armor.

They soon discovered Cangming's army standing at the city gate, but they did not stop at all. Instead, they accelerated and rushed towards Jiang Chengdao's location.

"Huh? Cang Ling Army?"

Jiang Chengdao frowned deeper.

After a moment, he turned his head slightly and gestured with his eyes to Su Ming, the newly appointed commander of the Xuanwu Guard.

Su Ming understood this and made a gesture to the others behind him, warning the entire army to be alert.

After a while, the cavalry of the Cang Ling Army suddenly appeared and rushed not far from the crowd.

"Stop comers!"

Su Ming shouted loudly and put his hand on the sword at his waist.

"Shut up!"

The leading woman tightened the reins, causing everyone to stop.

Then she turned over and dismounted, and without waiting for others to react, she walked towards Jiang Chengdao alone.

The other party was obviously not here to cause trouble for them, otherwise it would be impossible to bring only this few people here knowing that Suzhou was guarded by Saint King Cangming himself.

And he just stepped forward without fear of death.

In this world, no one dares to disrespect the power possessed by the Holy King.

"Who are you?"

Su Ming asked sharply.

The woman slowly raised her head, revealing a pair of cold eyes that were indescribably tired. She opened and closed her red lips and simply stated her name.

"Governor of Huangzhou, general of the Cang Ling Army, Gu Simiao."

That's right, the person who came was Gu Simiao, who had just ended the turmoil in Huangzhou with his own hands, left Huangzhou directly, and then rushed towards Luojing without stopping.

Hearing this, Su Ming couldn't help but be startled.

What?

Gu Simiao?

The Lord of Huangzhou, one of the eight pillar states of the Great Xia Empire, the youngest unparalleled pillar state in history?

what's the situation?

Shouldn't she be preparing for war in the deserted state and helping the Demon Queen conquer the world?

What are you doing here?

Jiang Chengdao was also stunned, but he reacted in just a moment.

"Oh? Gu Simiao?"

He raised his head slightly, looked at her for a moment, and then asked in a deep voice: "What are you doing here?"

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

In any case, let’s understand the situation first.

Gu Simiao didn't say anything more, but waved her hand and directly opened the space out of thin air.

The next second, blood-red heads quickly fell from the cracks in the space.

The heads are both male and female.

Some are ferocious and terrifying;

Some had their eyes wide open, showing unwillingness and fear;

Some faces were full of despair;

Among these heads, there were many faces that Jiang Chengdao was very familiar with.
