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

Lu Chen shook his head and said softly: "I can't talk about advice or anything like that. I just want to share my personal opinion."

Gu Simiao sat upright.

"Huaiyu, please speak, I am all ears."

Lu Chen said "hmm", then glanced at Chen Qingde who was sitting opposite, and then said slowly: "There is nothing complicated about managing a fiefdom as a noble. Miss Gu, you just need to remember one thing. .”

"Which point?"

Lu Chen didn't hold back, and gave the answer directly:

"What's theirs is yours."

It’s a very simple seven words, and the meaning is also very simple.

Gu Simiao thought for a moment, then raised her head slightly and met Lu Chen's eyes.

"I understand."

She said softly, then smiled.

"Thank you Huaiyu for your advice."

"Miss Gu, you're welcome."

As several people talked freely, the carriage sped rapidly.

At dusk, everyone finally arrived at Taihe County.

At the gate of the county town, Lu Chen helped Chen Qingde get out of the carriage first. Immediately afterwards, Fu Hua and Gu Simiao stood behind him again, one on the left and one on the right, like two personal maids.

"Is this Taihe County?"

Lu Chen raised his head and saw the dilapidated county government gate not far away, as well as the sparse and thin people around it.

The day was about to end, and there was no place to live in the city. The hawkers and salesmen who only came to the city to sell some fruits walked out of the county town one after another.

When they passed by Lu Chen and others, they all looked over in unison.

There was nothing I could do, the woman behind Lu Chen was too eye-catching.

Fu Hua and Gu Simiao ignored the looks around them.

"Huaiyu, it's getting late. Let's go into the city."

"Ah."

Lu Chen nodded.

After entering the city, Gu Simiao led everyone towards the county government office.

She has been here once, so she naturally knows where the county government office is.

And just when a group of people were about to walk through Dongshi and were about to reach the county government office——

"Father! Brother!"

Chu Baoer, who had not spoken much along the way, suddenly exclaimed, and then rushed toward the Dongshi Fangpai not far away with an anxious look on his face.

Lu Chen turned his head and looked in the direction where Chu Baoer was running wildly.

The next second, his expression suddenly turned cold.

But under the dilapidated Dongshi Fang memorial sign, there were more than a dozen people hanging with arm-thick hemp ropes!

Those people were stripped of their clothes, leaving only a piece of cloth, and their bodies were covered with scars and bruises. They had been hanging in the cold wind for who knows how long. At this time, each of them had their eyes closed, not knowing whether they were alive or dead.

Under the square, several government officials stood there with sneers on their faces, and the two injured government officials whipped one of them, an old man and a young man.

The whip hit the young and old couple, making a crackling sound, leaving bright red blood on the unconscious two people.

And their faces were extremely pale at this time.

Some people wearing unpatched linen clothes and a few young people wearing brocade clothes were watching. Every time the yamen sent out a whip and hit the person who was hanging on it, making a crisp sound, they all cheered loudly.

"Haha, what a delight!"

"Well done! This is how you should act against these unruly people!"

"Hit! Keep beating! Beat them until it hurts! Beat them until they kneel down and beg for mercy! Otherwise, these damn unruly people will one day riot and harm us and other good people!"

"Kill them!"

"The county magistrate is mighty!"

"..."

Seeing this scene, Chen Qingde's expression also changed.

"Brother Chu, brother!"

His eyes were locked on the two figures who were whipped by the Yamen, and he rushed over after Chu Baoer.

"Liangyu."

Lu Chen did not rush over immediately, but called softly to his side.

"Ah."

Fu Hua nodded and raised her index finger slightly under her sleeve.

boom!

An extremely majestic spiritual power surged out from her body, and the terrifying pressure instantly enveloped the entire area within a hundred meters.

Chapter 213

The people and officials under the square who were constantly applauding suddenly felt their bodies sinking, as if they were being pressed down by a huge mountain. Unexpectedly, almost everyone fell heavily to the ground.

"what!"

"What... what's going on?!"

"The body...is so heavy!!"

"..."

The screams kept ringing.

They subconsciously wanted to struggle, but they couldn't move no matter what, and even breathing became more and more difficult.

Swish!

A sharp sound of breaking wind suddenly sounded, and an extremely sharp ice blade suddenly flew over, flying straight towards the rope hanging on the square sign.

puff!

With a series of cutting sounds, the arm-thick hemp rope turned out to be like a piece of waste paper, easily cut into two pieces by the ice knife, and then the figure hanging on the square fell at the same time, and finally appeared out of thin air in a burst of ice mist. He slowly fell to the ground.

click...

Gu Simiao retracted her hand expressionlessly, and then took steps.

"Huaiyu, let's go there."

"Ah."

At the same time, Chu Baoer and Chen Qingde, who were not affected at all, ran to Chu Zhan and Chu?

Chu Bao'er suddenly knelt down and picked up his father, while Chen Qingde helped Chu Yue up.

Immediately afterwards, Chu Baoer stretched out his hand with great trembling and placed it in front of Chu Zhan's nose.

The next second, her pupils suddenly shrank.

As expected, there was no warmth at all.

"Daddy!"

The shrill screams instantly echoed throughout Dongshi.

Chen Qingde, who was on the other side, looked equally heavy after sniffing Chu Yu's breath.

"Bao'er,? Brother, he..."

At this point, he could no longer say those last few cold words.

However, although the words were not finished, the meaning was obvious——

Chu Baoer's brother was also angry.

Realizing this fact, Chu Baoer's already sad face suddenly froze, and then completely lost its charm.

When he heard Chu Baoer's cry of sorrow, Lu Chen's heart suddenly sank, and he turned his head and looked at Fu Hua beside him.

Fu Hua's eyes drooped slightly.

"The man that Miss Bao'er is holding is already dead."

Hearing this, Lu Chen couldn't help clenching his fists, and a trace of evil aura flashed across his face.

"Is it……"

"but…"

Fu Hua suddenly turned her head and looked at the young man who was helped up by Chen Qingde.

"Her brother still has a very weak aura."

As she spoke, she suddenly raised her hand, and countless transparent runes the size of fingernails instantly flew out of her palm. With the blessing and pulling of spiritual power, they flew quickly towards Chen Qingde not far away, and were around Chu Yu's body in an instant. Forming an invisible magic circle that can attract the surrounding living creatures to gather in the middle.

Her attainments in magic circles were as unparalleled as ever.

Moreover, she knew what she should do at this time without Lu Chen's instructions.

In her opinion, a great husband like Lu Chen, who cares about the world and cares about the common people, will never leave the people of Daxia without mercy. Therefore, since the other party is still alive, she naturally cannot stand idly by.

Lu Chen looked at her and nodded tacitly.

it is more than words.

Then Lu Chen withdrew his gaze and walked quickly towards Chu Baoer.

Looking at Lu Chen's back, an imperceptible smile quietly flashed across Fu Huan's beautiful little face.

When he came behind Chu Baoer, he saw her hugging her father and crying bitterly. Although it was not the first time he saw such a scene, he still felt depressed.
