Chapter 15: Counterattack

The sudden terrorist explosion instantly attracted everyone's attention.

In the Taiji Palace, the faces of all the courtiers changed at the same time.

"What's going on?"

"What's going on?"

"Enemy attack?"

“……”

Some of the courtiers looked flustered, some did not move, and a small number of courtiers had an inexplicable trace of excitement on their faces.

Such a terrifying explosion is not something that a petty fighter can do, only the regular army of the imperial court can have such a powerful weapon or spell.

And to say that the regular army subordinate to Luojing, in addition to the Yulin Guard, the warrior battalion and the embroidered clothes guard stationed in the city, then there is only the 800,000 forbidden army commanded by Xiahou Yan, who is stationed around Luojing, and is the perennial Gongwei Jingshi, who is also the uncle of the Empress Dowager Zhao, and is also the general of Shenwu in the dynasty.

On the high platform, the empress and Jiang Chengdao frowned slightly at the same time.

'Sure enough, it's still here...'

When they thought like this, there was no trace of panic in their eyes, and it was obvious that what was happening outside the city gate at this time was completely expected by them.

Since there is an expectation, it is natural to be prepared.

The two nodded tacitly, and then Jiang Chengdao waved his hand and laughed: "Hahaha...... Even now, there are still young people who dare to make trouble under the nose of this king, I really don't know whether to live or die! ”

"Don't panic, and relax, with this king here, Luojing is the safest place in Central Continent, let him have thousands of troops, and this king can also break it!"

Hearing what the Cangming Holy King, who was one of the strongest people in Central Continent, said, some of the courtiers suddenly calmed down a little.

Yes, the current ruler of Luo Jing is the legendary Holy King, a terrifying existence who can change the situation on the battlefield by himself.

Even the dynasty in its heyday couldn't help the holy realm with all its might, what was the mere turmoil?

Although Luo Jing is not a holy realm, and the holy king can only exert the power of the holy relic in the holy realm, but the Cangming holy king is obviously an exception, otherwise how could he have the ambition to swallow the world?

Only by stepping out of the Holy Realm with the power of the Holy Relic can he be qualified to compete in the world, otherwise no matter how strong the power of the Holy Relic is, it will be meaningless.

Although he didn't know how the Cangming Saint King did it, it was an indisputable fact that he was able to use the power of the holy relics outside the holy realm.

Otherwise, how can he explain that he can descend from the sky without Luo Jing knowing, how to explain that the Xuanwu Guard, who is only a few tens of thousands of people, can beat the 150,000 horses stationed in Luojing to the ground, let Luo Jing change hands in less than a day, and wipe out all the once invincible Queen Dowagers in Luojing?

With such a powerful existence in front of them, those courtiers such as Li Zheng and others who had just shown favor to the Holy King were directly and completely relieved.

The reason why they showed favor to the Holy King so quickly was also because of the supreme combat power of the Cangming Holy King.

This is the first saint king in history who intends to win the world...

Lu Chen was also silent at this time.

It's not that he doesn't want to strike while the iron is hot, stimulate the Cangming Holy King again, and let him quickly let the empress issue an order to depose him, but now that there is such a big movement, it is no longer appropriate to say these things at this time

There are priorities, and it is clear that the matter of evil henchmen is not as important as this sudden upheaval.

And anyway, he has completely stated that the Holy King of Cangming will definitely not be able to tolerate the continued existence of an emperor like him in the court.

It is only a matter of time before he is deposed, and there is no need to rush.

After a while, there was a sudden sound of "click" outside the hall, and not long after, a young Xuanwu guard general wearing heavy armor appeared at the entrance of the hall.

"His Highness the Holy King!"

As soon as he walked into the hall, the young general half-knelt on the ground and said loudly: "The east city gate was attacked by the enemy with a powerful detonation spell, although the defense technique of the city gate was extremely strong, and it was not broken at the first time, but the eye of the city defense array was shaken, and the enemy army took advantage of the instability of the formation to lift the light and shadow technique to launch a fierce attack on the east city gate, and General Zhu has led a thousand brothers to meet the enemy. ”

Hearing this, Jiang Chengdao took his hands and asked the young general: "Huaiyi, is the enemy a forbidden army?" ”

Li Huaiyi nodded heavily.

"Yes, Your Highness the Holy King, the main formation of the enemy army is the Red Dragon Banner of the Forbidden Army and the Xuanfeng Banner of the former Queen Mother."

"Heh... Xuanfeng Banner, in order to maintain his power, do you not hesitate to use the name of the demon queen? ”

The Cangming Saint King sneered, "It seems that for these moths, as long as they can ensure their glory and wealth, it doesn't matter if the Queen Mother is a demon queen controlled by evil spirits......"

Hearing this, the faces of the courtiers below couldn't help but be a little weird.

Although the Queen Mother's escape with evil magic has been certified by the Evil Division, and there is also a worship master who once served as the Queen Mother's confidant to come out to corroborate, and it has basically been hammered, but what is the truth... It's hard to say.

It's just that nominally, the matter of the Cangming Holy King sending troops to attack Luojing can barely stand up in legal theory.

Of course, up to now, it doesn't really matter whether Empress Dowager Zhao is really controlled by evil spirits.

As the saying goes, the winner is king, and the loser is the villain.

Whoever is the victor will be able to define himself as the righteous party, who will be edicted to rebel and eliminate the unsubordinate.

Therefore, in the eyes of some bigwigs with mirrors, although the Holy King of Cangming has controlled Luojing, mastered the emperor, and has the "righteousness of serving the Son of Heaven to order not to obey", the Queen Mother's lineage, which has suffered heavy losses, and the 800,000 forbidden army in his hands, has no chance of turning the tables.

It depends on whether His Royal Highness, the first ambitious Holy King in the history of Middle-earth, can use the power of the Holy Relic to completely defeat the counterattack of the Queen Mother's family.

If he can do it, it proves that he does have the means to weigh the world.

At the same time, it also means that the Great Xia Qi is approaching, and almost no one in the entire Central Continent can stop him from taking that step forward and ruling the world.

"Let's go, guys."

Jiang Chengdao's right hand rested on the hilt of the Black Dragon Sword at his waist, and at the same time slowly raised his foot.

"Follow this king to see what kind of face those rebellious ministers who dare to go along with the demons will be."

As soon as the words fell, the courtiers couldn't help but look at each other.

However, Jiang Chengdao obviously had no intention of giving them advice, and the moment his raised right foot fell, the whole person suddenly turned into a black light, and in less than half a breath, he instantly swept past the hundreds of civil and military officials, appeared at the door of the main hall, and then walked out without looking back.

Seeing this, although everyone wanted to say something, but the main lord was not there, and they left instructions before leaving, they had to sigh lightly and slowly walked outside under the forced gaze of a group of Xuanwu guards.

Lu Chen is naturally no exception.

He walked at the back of the crowd, after all, although he has become famous recently, he is essentially just a seven-rank petty official, although the Kedaoyan official is a special official position with great power and low position, but the official rank is there, and he can only follow those courtiers now.

The courtiers in front avoided him as if they were hiding from the plague god, as if they were afraid of getting too close to him.

Lu Chen was also happy to be idle, and he didn't bother to go over to talk to other courtiers.

His purpose was to find a way to get dismissed, and since that was the case, he was destined not to get too close to the other courtiers.

After all, when a person is out of step with his surroundings, he is easy to be ostracized, and once he is rejected by everyone, then he is not far from becoming an immortal.

This is also a way of thinking to rationally remove this official skin.

Although when the Cangming Saint King recovers, he will definitely be a person to clean him up and directly push him to the end, but it is not wrong to make a few more preparations.
