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

It was as if he had never known what fear was. As long as it was for the sake of the righteousness in his heart, he would not hesitate to move forward without hesitation.

It was like this when the Queen Mother was in charge of the court, it was like this when the Holy King showed his ambition, and it was like this when King Yu slaughtered the people.

He didn't even hesitate.

It was as if no one or anything in the world could shake his will.

A real man!It should be so!

This almost impossible ambition may only be realized by a fearless person like him.

And if it comes true…

Fu Huan couldn't help but recall that when she was young and had not yet opened her spiritual roots, her poor parents were bullied by bullies in the village and maliciously made things difficult for her by tax collectors. Finally, during a natural disaster, due to the inaction of the local government, the dignified county magistrate only knew what was going on. Xiu ignored the people's livelihood, leading to the tragedy of countless people starving to death and remaining indifferent. Her parents also starved to death in front of her.

If this world dominated by monks who are dedicated to seeking immortality can really become what Lu Chen wishes, where everyone can have enough food and clothing, and do not have to be threatened by imperial power, evil cultivators, etc. all day long, what would it be like? good…

And Lu Chen, who was able to do all this, had this unimaginable great merit...

At this thought, Fu Huan's heart trembled inexplicably, and then she subconsciously asked:

"Governor Lu, do you want to become a saint?"

ha?

Lu Chen was a little confused by this inexplicable question and turned his head to look at Fu Hua.

saint?

I?

What is this thing about?

Why does this woman suddenly ask such stupid questions?

Lu Chen couldn't help but be confused.

What is a saint?

That is an eternal and eternal body built with supreme merit. Even if the heaven and earth are annihilated and the three realms are destroyed, it can still exist forever in the illusory and ethereal void, and it is an existence that is superior to everything, including the Immortal Emperor.

Immortals only live the same life as heaven, but saints exist forever!

It is extremely difficult and almost impossible for a mortal to become an immortal, let alone become a saint.

I can't even think about it.

Even emperors like the First Emperor and talented people like Li Taibai could only become lesser saints in the end. Who dares to talk about becoming a saint?

Lu Chen just wanted to take a shortcut by relying on the system and become the Immortal King directly. Fu Hua wanted to become a saint directly. Who could stand this?

Seeing Lu Chen's confused eyes, Fu Huan quickly reacted.

"Sorry, I was just lying."

She took a deep look at Lu Chen, then brushed her hair beside her ears out of habit, and said softly: "Forget what I just said."

Lu Chen: "..."

After a while, Fu Hua suddenly said: "Has Governor Lu figured out how to explain this matter to His Majesty?"

"Just report it truthfully."

Lu Chen shrugged and said calmly: "There is nothing to hide. If His Majesty Long Yan is furious because of this matter, does not agree with my actions, and even wants to kill me to protect the royal family, I will kill him. As the saying goes If you want your minister to die, he must die, no matter what your Majesty does, I will never complain."

Hearing this, Fu Hua's eyes suddenly trembled slightly.

"All right."

Lu Chen suddenly opened his legs and then slowly stood up.

"It's getting late, it's almost time for me to go back."

Fu Hua nodded and stood up.

Chapter 106 Chai Hongyu

Ping County, Gouer Village.

In a dilapidated farmhouse.

"Lord Lu!"

As soon as Li Wei, whose upper body was covered with bandages, saw the figure suddenly appearing at the door, he got up from the bed with great excitement.

Yes, he survived again.

He was hungry and did not die on the road when he was drafted for labor. He was dug out from the earth by the Yuzhou guards when he was buried in a flash flood. He was attacked and almost killed by King Yu's guards. However, at the critical moment, he was killed by two people who happened to be passing by. The hero came to the rescue.

In just a few days, he experienced life and death three times.

And he was born in poverty, his parents died, he went through hardships, and he met a noble person... He was a perfect template for the protagonist.

Hearing that Lu Chen, in order to avenge his fellow villagers, personally led his army to capture Prince Yu's Mansion and personally killed Prince Yu, who had always been extremely cruel, Li Wei was so excited that he couldn't control himself.

I originally thought that all the villagers died in the hands of King Yu Wei, and their death was basically in vain. After all, through the ages, top royal families really want to kill common people without spiritual roots. Most of the time, they just need to find a random excuse. Few people will stand up for the common people. Fair, let alone the royal family.

But now...this man who only exists in fantasy, who truly makes decisions for the people, and who is dedicated to the people, has actually appeared!

And he was the savior who once saved his life!

Before Lu Chen could stop him, Li Wei knelt on his knees in front of Lu Chen and kowtowed hard on the ground.

"Thank you so much for making the decision for me and other small people! You are so kind and kind, and I will never forget it. If I have the opportunity to repay your kindness in the future, I will not hesitate even if I am reduced to ashes!!!"

A hoarse voice suddenly sounded, instantly attracting the attention of the surrounding villagers.

"Master Lu is here?"

"Quick! Go and see Mr. Lu!"

"..."

A burst of messy footsteps sounded, and Lu Chen's original plan of just taking a look and leaving was completely frustrated.

Not long after, more than a hundred villagers from Gouer Village quickly gathered outside Li Wei's house. As soon as they saw Lu Chen, they bowed their heads in as much excitement as Li Wei.

"Thank you, sir, for making the decision for us, the common people!"

Lu Chen not only saved their lives and gave them life-saving food, but also avenged their murdered relatives.

Such a great favor is like reinvention.

In their opinion, no matter how many times they kowtow, Lu Chen, a young man, can bear it, and it is even more appropriate.

Only good officials like Lu Chen who serve the people wholeheartedly deserve their sincere respect.

Looking at the large group of villagers kneeling below, feeling their love and respect from the bottom of their hearts, Lu Chen couldn't help but feel a strange feeling gradually rising in his heart. At the same time, Dao Jing, who had been restless for some reason during this period, also felt even more... It trembled violently.

A warm current continues to circulate in the spiritual veins, and every time it passes through a week, the spiritual veins become stronger.

An indescribable feeling of comfort surges from the lower abdomen and spreads throughout the body in an instant.

Cool from head to toe.

Without any warning, he just broke through, directly from the cyclone realm to the condensation realm.

"Ok?"

Fu Hua suddenly turned her head and looked at Lu Chen.

After a moment, a hint of joy slowly appeared in her eyes.

"call…"

Lu Chen clenched his fists, took a deep breath, then raised his hands and said softly: "Everyone, please get up, I just did what I should do, and in addition to seeking justice for the dead, I also As the governor of two states, I have done nothing. I have not provided you with food and clothing, nor have I protected the country and the people. I am truly unworthy of such a great gift from you."

"My lord, please don't think like this!"

Hearing that Lu Chen was actually blaming himself, Li Wei hurriedly raised his head and said loudly: "Your Excellency, you did not treat us and the common people as pigs and dogs, but you treated us wholeheartedly and tried every means to benefit us. Throughout the ages, how many people can you think of?" Can a great man sincerely work for the benefit of the people like you?"

"Don't say that your Excellency has actually done a lot of practical things for us and other poor people, giving hope to the poor people like us. Even if you don't accomplish anything, as long as you have this intention, you will be a thousand times better than a dog official like Luan Yu. Ten thousand times! If you can’t bear this prayer, who else in the world can do it?!”

Hearing these words, Lu Chen's heart suddenly felt heavy, as if there was something critical in his heart, which made him unable to help but hold his breath.

Yes, what the people want is so simple?

As long as it doesn't harm them.

But even such a simple request could not be satisfied by the Daxia court.

Exorbitant taxes, labor, and plunder by powerful gentry...

One mountain after another pressed on them, making them almost breathless.

If he didn't come to Yuzhou, what would the people here be like?

Hard to imagine.

Just because those "smart people" made their own decisions, or conscripted people from poor areas to work in the dam area in order to cover up a certain truth, I don't know how many people would die.

Once a civil uprising broke out, the imperial court sent Yuzhou Guards and Suizhou Guards to join forces to suppress the uprising in a bloody manner, and countless people died.

Not to mention the devastating impact of floods on both sides of the river.

When he thought of this, Lu Chen's heart became heavier and heavier.

The Queen Mother Zhao ruled Daxia for six years, which directly deprived the people of even the most basic guarantee of survival. The ZTE situation left by the late emperor was directly destroyed beyond recognition, and the foundation of Daxia's rule was seriously shaken.

No wonder the rebel forces from all directions are always killing and destroying them. If they don’t solve the fundamental problem, suppression alone is of no use.

If they are all killed, won't they be afraid of harming Tianhe and completely cutting off the path to immortality?

But even with such a simple truth, in this world dominated by monks, there are still many people who can't understand it, or are unwilling to understand it.

At this moment, Lu Chen clearly felt that this ancient world with supernatural powers was more cruel than the ancient society in the world before he traveled.

While thinking about it, other people saw that he was silent and started to comfort him.

It's not easy to find a master Qingtian, but don't let this matter dampen your fighting spirit.

Lu Chen gathered his mood, and then comforted the villagers with a few words, asking them to live a good life, and the court would definitely not let this happen again in the future.

Then he personally helped Li Wei back into the house.

Only then did he notice there were two people in the room.
