In the small courtyard deep in the Lu Mansion, there were bursts of gloom floating in the air, the wind swept the fallen leaves, and the withered yellow leaves fell all over the ground, and there was not even a single subordinate to clean it.

Today's Lu Mansion is really far from the Lu family that was in full swing at the beginning.

In the main hall, Gu Chen finally appeased Lu Qi, and from the following conversation, he also learned that since he escaped back to Haotian Academy, the Prime Minister's Mansion did not take any measures at the beginning, but as time went by, and the Tianyan Imperial Family seemed to have no time to take care of it, so Prime Minister Yu Cang's offensive against the Lu family began at this time.

And the first of these is the Lu family's business, those old customers in the past cut off contact with the Lu Mansion for no reason, ignored the things sold by the Lu Mansion, and then turned against the Lu Mansion. At that time, in just three days, the people in the mansion were gone, and only some old people who had been loyal to the Lu Mansion for generations were left.

Of course, although the Lu Mansion is very deep, Prime Minister Yu Cang still seems to be afraid of Chenlou, and until now he has not really extended his minions to Chenlou, the reason for this has to be said to have a great connection with the Tianyan Imperial Family.

The Chen Qi Sword has now almost become the first weapon of the Tianyan Empire, and it has also made great contributions on the battlefield, and I think this is also the root of the Tianyan Imperial Family's reluctance to see the conflict between the prime minister and Chen Lou.

It's just that they didn't think that for Gu Chen, Chenlou is almost the same status as Lu Mansion in his heart, and because of Lu Qi's existence, Lu Mansion is even a fraction higher than Chenlou. Now that Lu Mansion has become such a situation, how can he feel good in his heart.

Syllable!

The solid pine table in the hall was shattered by Gu Chen's palm, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked directly out of the hall with an indifferent face. Although he didn't show his anger on his face, those who were familiar with him knew that at this moment, he seemed to be on the verge of anger.

"Boss, do we want to look for the bad luck of Yu Cang'er again, haven't you seen it, the old man is relying on his dead ghost brother to support him, but this time has not given me any anger, if it weren't for the third lady who is helpless, I would have hit him at home and fought with them. ”

On the side, Ren Yao saw Gu Chen's indifferent face, knowing that the latter had already had murderous intent towards the Prime Minister's Mansion, and then he was afraid that the world would not be chaotic. Of course, he dared to say this because he was clearly aware that Gu Chen's current strength was no longer what it used to be, which could be seen from the time he entered the door before.

His current strength had now stepped into the ninth level of the Spirit Puppet Realm, and even so, he didn't feel the slightest bit before Gu Chen came in. can avoid the eyes and ears of the ninth order of the spirit puppet realm, and that kind of strength is at least above the emperor puppet realm.

"Is it time for the Yu family to be whipped, blindly swallowing their anger will only make them worse. Gu Chen nodded, a flash of disgust in his eyes.

But after a while, he shook his head again, and then said: "But now is not the best time to move the family, if there is no support from that person, no matter how we whip it, we will be a hundred feet since death and not stiff, so if we want the Lu Mansion to get back on track, the most important thing now is to change that person's attitude." ”

He analyzed it carefully, and when he first spoke, Lu Qi frowned slightly, as smart as how could she not hear Gu Chen's words, the person he was referring to was clearly the real ruler of the Tianyan Imperial Family, such as the emperor of the Yan Empire today.

"You mean...... But why did they change their attitude, when they made a big fuss about the Prime Minister's Mansion, they made it clear that they were on Yu Cang's side. ”

"Hehe, Qi'er, there are no eternal allies in this world, only eternal interests, I think this time, they will make a correct choice again. Gu Chen smiled faintly, and the curvature at the corner of his mouth became more and more evil.

"Boss, I'll go with you. ”

"No, I'll just go by myself, you take care of Miss here. Gu Chen shook his head and refused Ren Yao's follow, he looked at the leafy courtyard again, and then said softly: "What you need to do now is to clean this mansion again, and when you bring me back, the Lu Mansion will also regain its former glory." ”

After saying that, no matter what Ren Yao and Lu Qi wanted to say, he turned around and walked out of the main hall, and then the soles of his feet suddenly paced, turning into a brilliant streamer, and flew towards the center of Tianyan City.

......

Tianyan Palace!

This majestic palace covering an extremely wide area lies in the center of the city like an ancient beast, looking down from the top, the intricate palace roads are like spider webs winding against each other, each road is lined with towering pavilions and pavilions, the pavilions are very exquisitely decorated, gilt and silver can be seen everywhere, all are magnificent scenes.

And at this moment, in the most magnificent palace in the center, there are only two figures standing opposite each other, one of them is wearing a bright yellow robe, and the robe is engraved with the case of nine dragons and nine phoenixes, he is standing in front of the dragon chair, and his body is surrounded by the breath of the Taoist emperor.

And under it, a middle-aged man who was also dressed in a bright yellow robe, but only engraved with five dragons and five phoenixes on the robe was standing upright, and the middle-aged man's face was very neutral, and from that slightly low gaze, he was in awe of the first person.

Knock! Knock!

The bell rang outside the temple, and it was the sound of the message at sunset during the day. In response to the bell, Emperor Tianyan raised his head, looked at the closed hall door, and said with a slight frown: "Yu Cangke is still competing with Lord Lu Lou in the past two days?"

Hearing the voice, the fifth prince also raised his head, and there was a bitterness in the corners of his eyes, "Back to Your Majesty, Prime Minister Yu Cang has been somewhat restrained in the past two days, and he is not as aggressive as before, the younger brother thinks that the Lu Mansion is now dilapidated and withered, and he should not be able to raise any more interest." ”

"Hmph, this Yu Cang, the widow reminded him before, although the Lu Mansion is small, it has a lot to do with Chenlou, and Chenlou is now the strongest pillar of the empire, once there is a change, the consequences are unimaginable. Why should you be so small-bellied. ”

Emperor Tianyan frowned, and then said: "You take the time to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and say that the widow asked him not to make any more moves against the Lu Mansion." ”

"Yes. The fifth prince bowed and answered.

"By the way, there is one more thing, how is the imitation work of the Chen Qi Sword carried out by the Royal Foundry now? This kind of casting technique is still in our hands, so as not to have too many dreams at night. ”

"Back to your majesty, the imitation work seems to have encountered a bottleneck, especially the smelting of Tiangang cold iron, and our craftsmen are still helpless. The fifth prince replied truthfully.

Emperor Tianyan raised his eyes and said angrily: "Waste, you can't do this little thing well, and you dare to think that the royal casting is self-proclaiming, you go and sue them, if there is no progress within ten days, you will come to see you." ”

"Yes. The younger brother obeys the holy commandment. ”

"Well, okay, you go down. Then Emperor Tianyan waved his hand. The five princes bowed respectfully again, and then went straight out of the main hall.

And at this moment, just when the palace doors had just been merged, Emperor Tianyan was about to turn back and sit on the dragon chair, when a voice that was like a ghost and did not have the slightest emotional color suddenly echoed in the main hall.

"Hehe, Your Majesty is really a good hand of cards, clean up the Lu family, and now open the knife to Chenlou, this kind of means, it really makes you sigh to yourself. ”

"Who?"

Under that voice, Emperor Tianyan immediately let out a loud cry, and bounced up from the dragon chair, and a pair of dragon eyes couldn't help but scan the surrounding space, trying to find the source of the sound.

"Hehe, why are you so frightened, am I not here?"

The sound started again, and when he heard the sound, Emperor Tianyan suddenly turned his head and stared at the only place in this hall that was shrouded in darkness. At this time, the dark space seemed to be slightly turbulent, and then an emaciated figure stepped out.

The man was dressed in a pure black robe, standing in a dark corner, and he could not see the slightest detail unless he looked closely.

It's just that with Emperor Tianyan's eyesight, how could he not see it, in fact, when his gaze swept on the face of the person who came, his eyes were also shocked and sharply increased.

"It's you, Master Gu, you, how did you get in?"

"Ha, your palace is not a tiger's den in Longtan, so it's naturally easy to get in. Gu Chen chuckled, and walked towards Emperor Tianyan step by step as he spoke.

"Alas, I just didn't expect that His Majesty was so interested in Chenlou, which was really an eye-opener. ”

"This ...... You, did you hear it?" Emperor Tianyan's face changed again, and his already gloomy and uncertain complexion was even more pale at this time. Listening to the meaning of Gu Chen's words, the latter obviously heard the conversation between him and the fifth prince, according to this, then he even knew everything about the imitation of Chen Qi's sword?

"Master Gu, eavesdropping on other people's conversations is not something like you did. Emperor Tianyan suddenly lowered his voice and said, and just as the last word fell, his palm suddenly pressed towards the void.

Airplanes!

A slight fluctuation erupted from his palm, and then the soles of his feet slammed to the ground, and his body quickly retreated......

And when he did this, Gu Chen didn't stop him, he only looked at him with a smile, but the ridicule in his eyes was even stronger.

"Huh, what about people?"

"Damn, where did you go?" Standing behind the dragon chair, after a while, seeing that there was no change in the fluctuations of his previous sacrifice, Emperor Tianyan couldn't help but curse in a low voice. As for the scolding, especially when he saw Gu Chen's knowing smile, a touch of uneasiness suddenly rose in his heart.

"Majesty, I don't know, what you said, but him?"

As soon as Gu Chen's words fell, he suddenly raised his hand and pulled it, accompanied by a loud sound, and another figure also flew out of the dark corner, and in the middle of his breath, he was caught in his palm.

Peng!

Pulling the placket of the man's clothes, Gu Chen didn't look at it, and threw it away, throwing the half-dead person aside, and then he clapped his hands, wrapped his arms around his chest again, and looked at the Tianyan Emperor who was already so shocked that he couldn't speak.
