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

However, Lu Chen, who seemed to be upright and would rather die than surrender, wanted to give Li Zheng and the others a thumbs up.

Good teammate, if you can speak, speak more!

Jiang Chengdao didn't even look at them. Instead, he looked down at Lu Chen and said with interest:

"Haha... You are such a loyal person. Seeing how loyal you are, I will be merciful and give your Majesty a chance."

Hearing this, Lu Chen couldn't help but twitch the corners of his eyes.

What a mess!Why don't you just kill me and then do whatever you have to do?Why does Mao have to do this?

But complaining was a complaint, and he still didn't want to cause trouble, so he said directly: "What do you mean?"

"It's simple."

Jiang Chengdao said slowly: "As long as you stand in front of me, I will never do anything arrogant. But if you kneel down in front of me, haha..."

At the end of the sentence, he let out a terrifying sneer.

Although he didn't say it clearly, he knew what he meant by thinking about it with his butt.

Lu Chen rolled his eyes wildly in his heart.

How could I, an ordinary cultivator, be able to stop the legendary Holy King?

Is the mantis acting like a chariot?Mr. Li, you think too highly of me.

Bacteria can't stop high-speed trains.

What this guy said was like taking off his pants and farting, it stunk.

When Lu Chen complained habitually, Jiang Chengdao's eyes suddenly condensed, and all the focus in his eyes was on Lu Chen.

"I want to see how long you can stop me!"

The moment the arrogant words fell, a majestic force burst out from Jiang Chengdao, gathered in an instant, and finally pressed down on Lu Chen like a mountain.

That power was actually much stronger than when he suppressed Li Zheng before!

Bang!

Lu Chen only felt a huge force coming from behind, and his whole body was instantly suppressed and unable to move.

Moreover, the suppressed force on his back became stronger and stronger, as if it was going to bend his knees and make him kneel down on the spot and surrender to the Holy King Cangming in front of him.

Fortunately, he was well prepared. He concentrated all his spiritual power on his feet and waist, and just refused to give in despite the power of Saint King Cangming.

The knees did not bend at all.

Nothing moved!

"His Majesty…"

Lu Chen gritted his teeth, and while struggling to support himself under the power of the Holy King, he tried his best to shout weakly to the empress behind him: "Go quickly!!!"

Chapter 26 I'm on the wrong team again?

click...click...

Under the overwhelming pressure of the Holy King, Lu Chen felt like he was carrying a huge mountain on his back, and every bone and joint in his body was making frightening sounds.

At the same time, bursts of extremely intense pain were transmitted from all sides of his body into his mind, constantly torturing his will and spirit.

However, even so, Lu Chen still gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and tried his best to hold on.

Snapped!

The floor beneath his feet cracked suddenly under the raging force, and the powerful force continued to scatter, causing the cracks under Lu Chen's feet to spread rapidly around him.

Seeing this scene, Li Zheng and others all sneered.

Ever since Lu Chen first stood up to speak out for the empress, they had disliked him.

We all spent more than ten years studying hard and studying hard. When we were high-spirited scholars in high school, we also had the world in mind, devoted ourselves to the people, and were loyal to the king and the country.

However, after many years of ups and downs in officialdom, the ideals once were shattered by the cruel reality, and he had to drift with the tide, and then joined forces with others to form cliques for personal gain.

Seeing Lu Chen, they felt like they saw their past selves, and saw the long-abandoned ideals and conscience that they didn't want to see.

It's like looking into a demon mirror.

No one wants to face their extremely ugly self, and Lu Chen's existence seems to remind them of how shameful it is to forget their original intentions and abandon the original lofty ideals of cultivators.

Therefore, even if Lu Chen did nothing, they still hated Lu Chen.

Li Zheng snorted lightly.

"Stubborn, His Highness the Holy King is the one who is about to create a prosperous age in Central Continent. It's just that this guy doesn't want to follow His Highness the Holy King. He actually tries to block the flow of the prosperous age. Such a foolish person can actually be ranked in the court. As expected, the current imperial court It’s no longer worth serving for people with lofty ideals like us.”

"Who said it wasn't."

Xie Hongyun stroked his beard with one hand and said leisurely: "The Demon Queen has been in chaos for six years and has already exhausted the destiny of the country of Great Xia. The "Book of Changes" says: 'Poverty leads to change, change leads to generalization, and generalization leads to long-lasting'. Since the Qi of Great Xia is strong, It’s over, so there’s no need to dwell on the past anymore. Now is the time to welcome the new dynasty and help His Royal Highness the Holy King create an unprecedented new pattern. Anyone who tries to stop it will be crushed by the rolling torrent of the new era. Gotta smash it.”

"The world is divided and reunited, and dynasties are changing. This is destiny. How can it be changed by human power?"

Others also spoke in agreement.

"Lu Huaiyu dared to try to prevent the change of the number of days and defy the destiny of heaven. This is an unforgivable crime for nine calamities. Death is not a pity."

"There are such ignorant people in the world!"

"This beast should be a shame to our monks!"

"Extremely so."

"Please, the Holy King, please don't show mercy. This crime of the beast cannot be punished. If it is not eliminated, it will not be able to calm the hearts of cultivators in the world. His Highness, the Holy King, kills this beast and removes his fame. This is to do justice for heaven..."

"..."

A group of courtiers who were the first to express their intention to follow the Holy King Cangming waved their flags and shouted in an attempt to put a layer of justice on Jiang Chengdao's move.

At the same time, I also put a fig leaf on myself.

What Lu Chen said and did was completely opposite to what they were doing at this time.

As long as Lu Chen is denied, his loyalty to the empress is denied, all his actions are denied, and the world thinks he is wrong, then the actions of those who stand opposite him will be right.

They have long been familiar with this practice of negating others to gain recognition for themselves.

Same now.

Victory is justice.

As long as the Holy King wins and becomes the victor sitting on the dragon throne, everything will naturally go as they wish.

Who told them to represent the interests and position of the Holy King now...

Lu Chen's ears were buzzing, the scene in front of him gradually blurred, and even his consciousness became heavier and heavier, but he could still barely hear the shouts of Li Zheng and others.

Hearing what they said, although Lu Chen was physically tortured, his heart was filled with ecstasy.

Yes, yes, that's what you should say.

I am the remnant of the old era, and there is no ship that can carry me in the new world...ah!The new dynasty will never tolerate diehard loyalists like me from the previous dynasty.

What was the name of the old man who yelled the loudest?Oh, Li Zheng, the young minister of Dali Temple!

Good people, with talented people like you here, why should I, Lu Chen, worry that my path to immortality is blocked?

When I become the Immortal King, I will definitely "beat you up" for your kindness today!

However, he was so excited that he did not notice that after hearing the words of Li Zheng and others, the eyes of the empress behind him and the Holy King Cangming in front of him had a frightening cold light.

puff!

Lu Chen spat out a mouthful of blood from the corner of his mouth, his face became visibly pale as paper, and his determined eyes also showed a trace of abnormal malaise.

Not only that, under the raging power of the Holy King, the skin on his body gradually cracked, and bright red blood seeped out from the wounds. In just a moment, his brand-new official robes were stained with pools of blood, making him look extremely miserable.

However, if there were people here who knew some medical skills, they would be able to see that Lu Chen's body was covered with skin injuries.

Although the pain of the skin and flesh is extremely torturous to the spirit, if the will is not firm, he will faint on the spot in a few moments, but this type of injury can heal itself in a few days even if left alone, and it will not hurt the root at all.

It just looks miserable.

Jiang Chengwan's little hands under the dragon robe were clenched tightly.

She didn't know how to describe her mood at the moment.

Facing Lu Chen, an unparalleled loyal minister who is rare in this world, looking at his back that would rather die than take a step back, even if he was tortured to the point of being dehumanized, and stood in front of her without giving in, She only felt that she could no longer control the excitement in her chest.

Even when he was in a desperate situation and had to put on a weak mask to pretend to deal with the Queen Mother Zhao every day, his aura, which had never been disturbed, became inexplicably urgent at this time.

The rise and fall of his chest is not as steady as before.

She should have become hard-hearted after six years of hard work, but now she quietly showed a subtle weakness.

Seeing Lu Chen's miserable condition, Li Zheng and others all applauded and even begged Jiang Chengdao to increase their efforts and quickly crush this annoying fool into a pile of pulp.

The words he spoke out became even more unbearable.

And at this moment-

"enough!"

Listening to the increasingly shameless words of Li Zheng and others, the empress finally couldn't help it and scolded them angrily.

At this moment, the terrifying pressure on Lu Chen that gradually suffocated him suddenly disappeared without a trace, as if it had never appeared before. The air around him that had been solidified by the power of the Holy King also relaxed in an instant.

Everything returned to calm again.

"Eh?"

Lu Chen's eyes suddenly widened, full of doubts and uneasiness.

what's going on?

When he heard the empress's angry rebuke, Li Zheng suddenly snorted with disdain.

The wrath of an emperor?joke!

Not to mention that the Holy King now controls Luo Jing, even when Empress Dowager Zhao was in power, they never paid attention to the empress.

It's just a puppet, with fart majesty, you don't need to care about it at all.

However, they did not notice that Lu Chen raised his head in confusion and stared at Jiang Chengdao in astonishment.
