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

Under the Xuanji gate.

The empress walked forward slowly with no expression on her face, and walked towards the Sacred King Cangming who was riding on horseback.

The moment the maids and eunuchs saw King Cangming's appearance, their legs trembled and they couldn't walk. The surrounding guards also stopped in tacit understanding and stood in place. Only Lu Chen followed behind the empress step by step.

Seeing that the Empress actually appeared, Li Zheng and the others were shocked.

It's unexpected that Lu Chen, an idiot, dares to go to Ziji City to be on duty, but it's not incomprehensible.

After all, no matter what this stupid idiot out of the sky does, it is not surprising.

But it seemed strange for the empress to appear at this time.

They really couldn't figure it out, the news that the Holy King Cangming was about to enter the capital should have spread throughout Ziji City long ago, it is impossible for the empress not to know, no matter how stupid she is, she should realize that her puppet emperor has come to an end, immediately He is about to be replaced by the Holy King Cangming.

Almost none of the deposed emperors who were kicked out of the throne had a good end since ancient times.

So shouldn't the empress be trembling somewhere in the palace at this time, waiting for her tragic fate full of fear? Why is it here?

A series of questions rose from their minds, but it was naturally impossible for anyone to answer them at this time.

Not only them, but Lu Chen, who was following the empress at this time, also felt that his brain was not enough.

What is this? Why do you still take the initiative to give away the head!

Before he had time to think about it, Lu Chen passed Jiang Chengwan directly, walked up to her, blocked her behind, and then angrily said to the Holy King Cangming who was riding a horse not far away: "His Royal Highness, stop!"

Seeing that he took the initiative to stand up to protect her at this time, Jiang Chengwan couldn't help but stop, raised her head slightly, and just stared deeply at Lu Chen's back, without going any further.

pat...

The iron hoof stepped on the hard stone slab, making a crisp sound.

As if he didn't hear it, the Holy King of Cangming drove the Jueying horse forward step by step.

Seeing this, Lu Chen's expression darkened, but he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's okay, it's okay, it seems that the Holy King Cangming is still normal, and then we just need to completely offend him to death according to the plan..."

Thinking of this, he took a deep breath, and then shouted at Jiang Chengdao: "Holy King Cangming, you dare to ride a horse in front of His Majesty in Ziji City, don't you know that this is a great disrespect to His Majesty? Say you want to rebel?!"

Hearing this, Li Zheng and the others who had just reacted couldn't help but sneered.

The Holy King Cangming came here to seize the imperial power, not to mention riding a horse in front of the empress, it would be easy to force the empress to do this or that.

Except for the other three holy kings who were also selected by the holy relic, almost no one could stop the holy king with supreme holy power.

Not to mention Lu Chen, an ordinary civil servant with shit in his head, even the eight-pillar generals guarding all directions cannot be the opponent of the Holy King. This kind of absolute power is not something ordinary people can match.

I really don't know where this guy got the courage to stand in front of the Holy King.

I don't know how to live or die!

The Holy King Cangming can immobilize a regular fourth-rank official just by his aura. For a low-level official like Lu Chen, the Holy King doesn't even need to draw his sword. He just needs to move his fingers to destroy him physically and mentally.

"oh?"

Jiang Chengdao stared at Lu Chen coldly, with a murderous intent in his eyes.

"Are you teaching me how to do things?"

"So what?"

Facing Jiang Chengdao's obviously unfriendly words and extremely cold eyes, Lu Chen had a look of disdain without any fear.

"Others are afraid of you, but I, Lu Huaiyu, am not afraid of you. At worst, I will die to repay Your Majesty's kindness."

The smile under Jiang Chengdao's mask grew stronger, but when he spoke, he made a chilling voice: "Are you really not afraid of death?"

"Hmph, why not die?!"

Lu Chen snorted coldly, then walked forward slowly, and at the same time took out the fluorene board that was usually used in court from his waist, and poured all his spiritual power into it, as if he was ready to do his best at any time.

"I am a farmer in Yongchuan. I have studied hard for more than ten years, and I have been working hard to achieve the fame. I was almost stolen by a villain. Fortunately, my majesty was aware of the details and was nominated with a golden pen in the Jinluan Palace. Today, today, Such a great kindness, how can you not repay it with death?!"

The powerful words resounded all around, causing ripples in Jiang Chengwan's heart.

She took a deep breath suddenly, and her heart, which had been tempered by countless sufferings, was shaken a little at this moment.

Under the long and narrow bangs, the eye sockets that almost lost their tear glands were slightly flushed, making Lu Chen's figure in front of him gradually blurred.

Even if everyone gave up on her as the puppet emperor, even if everyone was enemies, she chose to stand up without hesitation and face the legend of the almost invincible holy king. Qi is generally tall.

Lu Chen didn't notice the Empress's gaze, but forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, and just blocked the path of the Holy King Cangming sitting on the shadow horse, protecting the Empress behind him.

Then, in the eyes of everyone, either indifferently, mockingly, admiringly, or admiringly, they said loudly: "Jade can be broken but not whitened; bamboo can be burned but not destroyed. Although the body dies, the name can be hanged." As for bamboo and silk, what is there to be afraid of?!"

After the words fell, except for Li Zheng and others who sneered and ridiculed, everyone else was moved.

The so-called unparalleled loyalty, besides this person, who else is there?

Jiang Chengdao's scalp was a little numb.

This kind of person deserves his promotion!

In the words, the Jueying Horse had already walked in front of Lu Chen, and then saw it snort vigorously, but didn't go any further, using its iron hooves that trampled to death countless enemies and evil spirits to crush the "unknown" in front of him. "Current Affairs" idiots stepped into meat, but just stopped.

"You really won't let me?"

Jiang Chengdao's voice became colder and colder.

Lu Chen held the fluorene board with one hand, and said coldly: "Unless I'm dead or not in the court, I will never let anyone act recklessly in front of Your Majesty!"

"The mantis is like a car, and it doesn't know how to live or die!"

Without waiting for Jiang Chengdao to speak again, Li Zheng behind him raised his voice and shouted: "Why does His Highness the Holy King waste his words with such a stubborn person? Since he wants to die, why don't His Highness just fulfill him and give him a good time?"

Hearing this, Jiang Chengwan's eyes turned cold.

With a slight glance from the corner of his eye, he remembered the clamoring appearance of Li Zheng and others in his heart.

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

Good teammate, if you can talk, talk more!

Jiang Chengdao didn't even look at them, but looked down at Lu Chen condescendingly, and said with great interest:

"Hehe...you are so loyal and unparalleled. In view of your loyalty, this king will be merciful and give your Majesty a chance."

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

What a mess! Wouldn't it be better to just tenderize me to death and then do what I should do? Why is it unnecessary?

But the complaints are the ones, he still didn't want to make troubles, so he said directly: "What do you mean?"

"It's very simple."

Jiang Chengdao said slowly: "As long as you stand in front of this king, this king will never do anything presumptuous, but if you kneel in front of this king, hehe..."

At the end, he let out a sneer that made people fear.

Although he didn't say it clearly, he knew what he meant with his ass.

Lu Chen rolled his eyes wildly in his heart.

Lao Tzu is just an ordinary cultivator, how could he be able to stop the legendary Holy King?

A mantis as a cart? Old man Li, you think highly of me too much.

Bacteria block high-speed rail is almost the same.

What this guy said is like taking off his pants and farting, it stinks.

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

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

The moment the arrogant words fell, a majestic force erupted from Jiang Chengdao's body, gathered in an instant, and finally pressed down on Lu Chen fiercely with the momentum of Mount Tai.

That power was actually a bit stronger than when he suppressed Li Zhengzhi before!

Boom!

Lu Chen only felt a huge force coming from behind, and his whole body was instantly suppressed and couldn't move.

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

Fortunately, he had been prepared for a long time, concentrated all his spiritual power on his feet and waist, just carried the power of the Holy King Cangming, and refused to give in.

The knees did not bend a little.

Didn't move at all!

"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 to the Empress behind him: "Go!!!"
