Chapter 21: No Regrets
Da Da... Da Da...
The tranquility of the early morning was shattered in an instant by the heavy sound of horses' hooves, and in the dust, tens of thousands of cavalrymen dressed in Xuan armor galloped on the Cangyun Road dozens of miles away from Luojing, and the black torrent composed of iron hooves continued to tear everything in front of them under the unstoppable terrifying power.
Soon, tens of thousands of iron rode to a fork at the end of Cangyun Road.
At this time, Jiang Chengdao, who was the leader, suddenly controlled the Shadow Horse under his crotch to slow down, and then asked his subordinates to raise the command flag, causing the army to stop advancing.
"Pass the order, and the whole army will rest in place."
"Yes, Your Highness the Holy King."
Li Zhengda, who was dressed in a green shirt behind him, stepped forward, came to Jiang Chengdao's side, looked at the fork in the road not far away, slowly raised his right hand and stroked his short beard, and said to Jiang Chengdao:
"Your Highness, the right side of the fork in front of you is the Sien Road leading to the Nanhua Gate of Luojing, and the left side is the Holy Road leading to the Huangji Gate.
Speaking of this, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, revealing a rather smug smile, and he continued with a look of Zhizhu in his hand: "Presumably, all the ministers of the court have rushed to the Huangji Gate at this time, waiting to welcome His Highness into Luojing." ”
Click!
The crisp sound of the staggered armor.
Jiang Chengdao turned his head and glanced at him, under the hideous mask, there was an elusive depth in his cold eyes.
Moments later, he summoned a herald.
"Pass on the king's order, half an hour later, the whole army will march towards Si'en Dao, and you must rush to Nanhua Gate within two hours!"
Hearing this, Li Zheng was stunned.
At the same time, a wave of uneasiness slowly emerged in my heart.
Your Highness, what does this mean......
…………………
Luo Jing, in front of Chongde Fang.
Xiao Yun was the first to react, and immediately his face changed dramatically and said to Lu Chen: "Huaiyu, don't talk nonsense!"
But Wu Zongyun suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed: "Hahahahaha!"
"Young man, do you know what you mean by that?"
Lu Chen's face was light: "Of course I know."
He knew better than anyone what his "stupid" choice meant.
On the occasion of the coming Luojing Change, among the hundred officials, the Yingfeng faction can at least retain a place in the officialdom; The high risk of the Qing Gao faction is high, it may cause the dissatisfaction of the Holy King, it may be ignored by the Holy King, but it is also possible to be appreciated by the Holy King of Cangming and treated with courtesy.
In the end, however, the hard-to-exist die-hard faction must have ended up in a miserable end.
Not only will he definitely be dismissed from office, but his life will not be guaranteed, and his posthumous name cannot be guaranteed.
But for Lu Chen, there is no deterrent at all.
Because, this is the purpose of what he can't ask for.
Wu Zongyun didn't know the reason, for Lu Chen's words that were like a fantasy, he just slowly narrowed his eyes, and a dangerous cold glint flashed in his eyes:
"Do you dare to say it again?"
"Why don't you dare?" Lu Chen still didn't waver, and said word by word: "In the future, Lu Chen is going to the government office to handle official business!"
After that, he looked at Wu Zongyun expressionlessly, and said lightly: "Can Wu Shilang hear clearly this time?" ”
"Good! Very good! Very good! ”
Wu Zongyun said three good words in a row, and looked at Lu Chen's gaze, as if he was looking at a dead man: "I didn't expect the old man to look away, not only do you not have the open-mindedness of people like us in this life, but you are even more ignorant than those who only know how to keep themselves clean and ignore the world, it is simply stupid and hopeless!"
Xiao Yun opened her mouth, as if she wanted to persuade Lu Chen again, but when the words came to her mouth, she swallowed it back, and then her expression became a little complicated, and there was a faint sense of self-shame on her beautiful face.
"If it is a fool's folly to be loyal to the monarch and love the country."
Lu Chen didn't look at Wu Zongyun again, but looked up at the sky at a forty-five degree angle, looking at the whiteness of the fish belly on the horizon, an indescribable depth and desolation appeared in his calm eyes, and slowly said the heavy words:
"Then let's be a fool for the rest of my life."
As soon as the words fell, a faint light suddenly flashed in an imperceptible corner of the alley behind Xiao Yun.
Xiao Yun looked at Lu Chen's gaze with bursts of brilliance, but Wu Zongyun's heart swelled with an indescribable sense of shame, which made him inexplicably have a strong desire to escape from here as soon as possible.
He shook his hand violently, snorted coldly, and said, "Hmph! The old man wants to see if you will be as stubborn as you are now after you are dismissed from office and taken to the execution ground with a crime! ”
After leaving these words, without waiting for Lu Chen to speak, he turned around suddenly, ignored the two of them, and walked directly towards the avenue to the north.
After Wu Zongyun left, Xiao Yun finally spoke: "Huaiyu, are you really, planning to do this?" ”
Lu Chen said without hesitation: "The Sheng He courtiers appointed by His Majesty personally in the next life, since the moment he received the letter letter, he is destined to be smeared for His Majesty in this life, so no matter what happens, he will never let down His Majesty's grace, as long as His Majesty has not removed his post, he will definitely perform his duties to the end."
Feeling Lu Chen's firm determination, looking at his unwavering eyes, Xiao Yun was a little stupid for a while.
Is there such a loyal person in this world......
However, Lu Chen felt a little uncomfortable in his heart because of what he said just now.
Specifically, it's a little... Feel nauseated......
He didn't want to say such a thing, but he couldn't help it, who let him have such a strange system?
And this is also the image he wants to show to the Holy King of Cangming-
A monk who was absolutely loyal to the empress.
Xiao Yun asked softly, "You...... Aren't you afraid? ”
"I'm afraid." Lu Chen sighed, "But I'm even more afraid that after a hundred years, I won't be able to face His Majesty Tianyan." ”
Hearing this, Xiao Yun lowered her head inexplicably.
"Didn't your master interfere with your decision?"
Lu Chen said lightly: "I interfered, but I ignored their opinions, this may be the so-called single-mindedness." ”
He wasn't lying.
Just yesterday, not long after Xiao Yi left, an elder from the sect he worshipped when he was studying came over and asked him not to cause trouble to the sect again, and at the same time instructed him to hurry up and take advantage of the great victory of the Cangming army to enter Beijing and go to the Huangji Gate to welcome the Holy King.
Otherwise, expelled from the division!
Then he was driven out by Lu Chen with an "angry face".
Xiao Yun had an unbelievable possibility in her heart, and subconsciously asked, "Then ...... they?"
However, before she finished speaking, Lu Chen said calmly: "Now I am alone, and I have no worries. ”
The predecessor has no close relatives, and the teacher, who is also not very popular, has disappeared two years ago, so in the sect, there are not many people who are familiar with him, but Xiao Yi is one.
And it was the predecessor sect, which was almost meaningless to him, so naturally he didn't need to think about these things.
Just like the future old man of the previous predecessor, it is best to break it off and save trouble.
Swish!
Xiao Yun raised her head abruptly and looked at Lu Chen fixedly.
It was impossible for her to know that Lu Chen was invincible when he was dismissed, so in her eyes, Lu Chen's image at this time had suddenly risen countless levels, and the mentality of just appreciating him had now become a high respect that could be compared with his master.
In her opinion, you can call him a stupid and loyal minister like Lu Chen, but you can't help but admire him, because he has done what most people can't do.
"Is it worth it?"
After a while, Xiao Yun spit out a few words with difficulty.
Hearing this, Lu Chen couldn't help but roll his eyes in his heart.
'MD, how do these people surnamed Xiao like to ask this kind of question......
Xiao Yun said again: "Your Majesty, she... Since ascending the throne, he has been controlled by the Empress Dowager Zhao, and there is nothing brilliant about it, maybe it is not worth it for you to do this, if you regret it now, you still have time to redeem it......"
She didn't want Lu Chen to go to meet the Cangming Saint King, but she also didn't want him to go to Purple Pole City to kill himself.
However, Lu Chen's expression was as if he had faced Wu Zongyun before, without the slightest wavering.
"I will never regret it, and I have always believed that if Your Majesty has the opportunity to govern in person, she will definitely become the holy emperor of virtue and benevolence, and the emperor of Taizu."
Regret? How can it be? Everything he did was to anger the Holy King of Cangming in order to be demoted, otherwise would this broken official be kept for the New Year?
Now there is no suspense that the Cangming Saint King will become the new emperor, as long as he goes to Ziji City at this time to block the Cangming Saint King, he will be 100% angry and dismissed from his official position on the spot and sent to the heavenly prison.
And then... Ascension on the spot!
With such a good situation, Lu Chen felt that he could definitely get his wish this time.
After all, now that they're all flying dragons, tell me how to lose?
Unless the Holy King of Cangming is really like the banner he played when he first came out, "Please punish the demon queen, return the government to the empress, and be right", the mobilization of the army to the south is really just to help the empress regain power.
But how is that possible?
Therefore, he Lu Chen of Ziji City is decided, and the saints can't stop him, he said it!
