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

As soon as they thought of this, they hurriedly reminded Jiang Yunping through thought transmission.

Jiang Yunping was slightly startled after receiving the reminder, and then calmed down a little.

No wonder this guy is so confident, it turns out he holds the trump card.

Realizing this, Jiang Yunping's face suddenly darkened slightly, but he still didn't feel much panic, but there was just a little more worry in his eyes.

Lu Chen had a trump card. He, the upright King Yu, had been operating in the fiefdom for so many years and had been treated as a prince of the highest standard for decades. How could he not have a trump card?

And no matter how good Lu Chen is, he is still a foreign minister, and he is a direct relative of the royal family. If Lu Chen dares to do anything extraordinary to him, even if he has the sword of the extreme, he has gone through all kinds of hardships to get it. Basically, don’t even want an official status.

In any case, even if his reputation as King Yu is discredited, the majesty of the royal family must not be violated. Once Lu Chen takes action, the entire royal family will not be able to tolerate him.

By that time, no matter how much the emperor favors him, he will never end well.

Therefore, even so, Jiang Yunping did not feel that Lu Chen could threaten him at all. Once he took action, it would be Lu Chen who would be unlucky, not him.

Being in an invincible position is so confident!

After Fu Hua blocked Jiang Yunping's attack, she took no further action. It seemed that as long as Lu Chen's safety was not threatened, she would not take action.

However, she took a few steps closer to Lu Chen, and her whole body was pressed against Lu Chen's side, like a personal maid.

"how?"

Lu Chen moved forward again, his whole body exposed to the front of the royal guards. He turned a blind eye to the sharp blades in front of him that were filled with spiritual energy and could stab at any time. He said calmly:

"His Royal Highness King Yu can't suppress others with his power, so why don't you use force to force me?"

Jiang Yunping took a deep breath, suppressed the urge to draw his sword again, and killed Lu Chen with one strike, and then said with a cold face: "Are you really not going to give me any face?"

"The law has no mercy!"

Lu Chen tightened the sword of Ji Dao in his hand and said solemnly: "Shameless people like Liao Ji who try to seek personal gain through natural disasters must be sentenced to death and their accomplices must be found and executed. Otherwise, these people will cause endless harm." , if he is allowed to go unpunished, where will the law of the country exist? How safe will the common people be? So let alone His Highness King Yu, even if His Majesty comes in person, I will never compromise!"

Jiang Yunping said coldly: "What if I must take him away today?"

There was no concealment of the threat in his words.

As he spoke, a violent spiritual power surged out of his body, and the next second, his already extremely powerful Tyrant pressure actually increased a bit again.

Lu Chen did not answer any more, but stood straight on the spot, and at the same time, he circulated the spiritual power in his body and poured it into the Jidao Sword.

The next second, the imperial treasure suddenly shone brightly, and the golden brilliance filled the entire hall. At the same time, a unique pressure of the supreme supreme surged out from the sword of the extreme, and Jiang Yunping's overlord The power collided hard.

click...click...

The two competing pressures kept squeezing together, causing the air between the two to continuously twist, and at the same time, a bitter sound was made.

Lu Chen, who was in the Cyclone Realm, could directly compete with Jiang Yunping in the Guiyuan Realm through the pressure exerted by the Jidao Sword.

Although this was due to the death of the late emperor and the greatly reduced power of Long Lin Sword, and pressure is not the same as strength, the pressure confrontation across five realms is enough to show how powerful the sword of the extreme is.

The treasure that only the Holy Lord is qualified to awaken is so terrifying!

Chapter 92 Deterrence

"My Lord Governor, His Highness King Yu, please don't be impulsive!"

Seeing Lu Chen and King Yu facing each other tit for tat, they were ready to fight. Xuanji Guards and King Yu's personal guards were also ready to attack. This small state government office was about to face a fierce battle. I don't know why they suddenly summoned them. The courageous Zhao Ping finally spoke and walked over quickly.

"Both of you are the pillars of the country, but please don't let trivial matters hurt your harmony."

The intervention of the peacemaker Zhao Ping at this time may not be very good for Lu Chen, but it is just right for Jiang Yunping.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Ping tried his best to comfort him, trying to calm down the anger aroused by both parties.

However, once the anger between two big figures is aroused, how can it be easily eliminated?

"Humph!"

Jiang Yunping waved his sleeves, "Since this bitch is so arrogant, I don't want to talk nonsense. Tomorrow, the king will write a letter and send it to Luojing to let His Majesty and the ministers know how arrogant this bitch is. I want to Let’s see if His Majesty, after knowing this, will continue to favor you, a maniac who is so disrespectful and bold that even the king, his direct uncle, doesn’t look down on him. Will there be any more in this huge Xia? No place for people like you who despise the royal family!"

After hearing this, Lu Chen still had a cold expression on his face, but he was even sneering on the inside.

What a joke, how could he, a semi-outsider, be afraid of such a threat?

Even if Jiang Yunping doesn't hold himself back and uses his royal status to suppress him, what does he have to fear?

This major case discovered by accident revealed thousands of years of malpractice in the Sanxia Dynasty and the darkness of the feudal dynasty. He investigated it!

He will never give up until the outcome of this matter comes out!

At first, he just wanted to seek justice for the villagers of Gou'er Village, killing Luan Yu and killing all the "smart people" in the two states. Unexpectedly, he unexpectedly caught the big fish Liao Ji, and through him he involved some people. A shocking case that may affect the entire officialdom of the Qingjiang River Basin.

In the ancient dynasties of the world of high martial arts, natural disasters are a catastrophe for ordinary people, but for the middle and upper classes such as scholars and warriors, they may be an excellent opportunity to make money, gather power, perform meritorious service, be promoted, and make breakthroughs. .

After all, no matter what happens in this world, someone will benefit and someone will lose.

The flooding of the Qingjiang River was harmful to the people and the Great Xia Dynasty, but it was beneficial to some "smart people" who had been prepared, even if their interests were based on the mountains of blood and corpses of countless people.

The ancient feudal society before Lu Chen traveled through time was quite cruel to civilians, so why not be the same for civilians in the world of high martial arts?

Even more than that!

Before Lu Chen went to Gou'er Village, he specifically asked the two Ping County officials, Luan Yu, if he had received any grain merchants or old friends recently, because he expected that someone might want to profit from the flood.

The flood disaster was extremely terrifying, but those monks who had abandoned their humanity were even more terrifying to the people.

Although the evidence in Lu Chen's hands is not sufficient at present, it is enough to detain Liao Ji, and the incident involving Liao Ji, the general manager of Prince Yu's Mansion, will inevitably involve Prince Yu himself.

He would go all out to investigate this case, and even if he risked his life, he would completely eradicate the cancer that was poisoning the people.

In this way, the officialdom in the Qingjiang River Basin and the courtiers, clans, wealthy merchants who are inextricably linked to it, as well as King Yu, who is the orthodox member of the royal family, will inevitably stand completely against him and try every means to kill him.

No matter what happens in the end of this incident, if the case comes to light and all the guilty people are put to death, these cancerous tumors that feed on the people and get fatter can be eradicated so that the people can breathe, or he is strangled by these people together, no matter what the result is, he can do it. accept.

Since there is no loss in any case, then what is there to hesitate about?

Just rush up!

"His Royal Highness King Yu can do whatever he wants. There is no need to report to this officer."

Lu Chen looked at Jiang Yunping and said pointedly: "After all, His Highness is still free, and I do not have the power to restrict your actions, Your Highness."

But not necessarily in the future.

Although Jiang Yunping was used to being arrogant, he was not a fool. He immediately understood the implication of Lu Chen's words.

A murderous intent suddenly flashed in his sharp eyes.

"What do you mean?!"

He asked Lu Chen loudly, but Lu Chen just replied lightly: "His Royal Highness King Yu knows what I mean."

"you!"

Jiang Yunping raised his hand angrily, pointed at Lu Chen, and was about to scold him, when Zhao Ping on the side saw this and hurriedly stood up to comfort him.

In this situation, there is no benefit at all in irritating Lu Chen.

It's better to stabilize him temporarily and worry about it later.

After Jiang Yunping knew that Lu Chen had a trump card or that there was a master behind him, he realized that even if he used force today, he could not do anything to Lu Chen, so he had no intention of taking action again. Zhao Ping's words just gave him a step forward.

He simply waved his hand and stopped looking at Lu Chen, looking like he was too lazy to argue with him.

Then he turned around and looked at Zhao Ping, the magistrate of Yuzhou, and said unceremoniously: "Zhao Ping, do you have the spiritual key to the Yuzhou Prison Prison Array? Go and release Liao Ji to me. come out."

Not only did he call him by his first name, but he acted like a slave and showed no respect.

A hint of gloom flashed in Zhao Ping's eyes, but the next second he still said with a smile on his face: "I'm here, I'll go right away..."

After saying that, he turned to look at Lu Chen and said sincerely: "Governor Lu, as the saying goes, you can use your face to eliminate old grudges and smile away grudges. Although you are the governor of two states, we must obey your orders, but after all, Your Highness He is the king of Yuzhou. It will not do you any good to offend His Highness King Yu. Please listen to your advice and let the matter end here. You and His Highness King Yu are both big shots. Even if you don't get along, you shouldn't be so tit-for-tat. , at most we just don’t mess with the river. What’s more, although there is some evidence about Liao Ji’s case, after all, no food has been found, and there is no key evidence, so it cannot be completely concluded. Why do you bother with such an inconclusive matter? Fang, how about offending His Highness King Yu for nothing?"

Hearing this, Lu Chen suddenly narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhao Ping. His eyes were filled with a coldness that made Zhao Ping tremble inexplicably, but he said nothing.

"Go quickly!"

Jiang Yunping urged with an impatient look, as if he was treating Zhao Ping, a dignified fifth-grade court official, as a punching bag, venting all the anger he had endured when facing Lu Chen on him.

"What nonsense are you talking to him about?! Do you think this bitch can continue to be the governor of these two states?!"

Zhao Ping frowned, but he still bowed his hand to Lu Chen perfunctorily, and then took out a light yellow talisman from his arms. In the area marked with cinnabar in the middle of the talisman, there are countless inscriptions with spiritual essence as the guide, which are better than ants. The small incantation is obviously the spiritual key to the evil prisoner formation mentioned by King Yu just now.

"Your Majesty, please wait a moment. I will leave immediately."

After saying that, he turned around and prepared to walk towards the cell.

However, the moment he turned around——

click!

With a crisp sound, the blade of the Jidao Sword suddenly appeared with bursts of cold light, and at the same time, a supreme coercion that made people subconsciously want to worship suddenly enveloped the entire hall.

Zhao Ping, who was just about to leave, felt an extremely cold murderous intent coming from behind, and his expression suddenly froze.

"Today, no matter who it is..."

Lu Chen's voice sounded slowly.

"Those who dare to touch the evil prison array..."

boom!

The moment he finished speaking, a golden sword light flew out suddenly, passed by the left side of Zhao Ping's body at an extremely fast speed, and hit the wall in front of him. Then, as if there was nothing, it instantly passed through the wall. Passed by, leaving a smooth sword mark while flying quickly into the distance, completely disappearing from everyone's sight in just a moment.

"cut!"

Upon hearing these murderous words, Zhao Ping's fat body immediately stood on the spot instinctively, not daring to take another step.

Click. . .

The spiritual power gathered again, and the Jidao Sword once again sounded the soft sound it had just when the sword energy was gathered.

"go!"

Jiang Yunping's strong voice came.

"This bitch is just bluffing. He doesn't dare to kill people at all. Moreover, with my support, what are you afraid of?!"

When Zhao Ping heard this, he couldn't help but cursed secretly in his heart.

But he still dared not disobey.

And King Yu was right, even if he had the sword of the extreme, Lu Chen would probably not dare to kill an official.
