Chapter 24: Arrogance

Hearing the empress's such straightforward words, Lu Chen couldn't help but twitch the corners of his eyes.

I thank you so much for your trust...

He really couldn't understand that the Holy King of Cangming had already behaved so obviously, and he hadn't taken the empress in the court in the eyes at all before, and his ambition was revealed in front of everyone's eyes, how bad was the empress's brain to say such unbelievable words.

Forget it, it is estimated that this product has been suppressed to the point of insaneness, there is no need to talk nonsense with her, a person with an abnormal brain, or go directly to the trouble of the Cangming Holy King.

Thinking like this, Lu Chen didn't say anything more, got up and walked out with the empress.

In Ziji City, the Queen Mother's people have been cleaned up, and the rest of the palace people are basically the ones who really worked before, and now they are subjugating to the authority of the Holy King of Cangming and pretending to serve the empress.

When he came outside, Lu Chen saw several eunuchs and palace maids looking in the direction of Xuanji Gate with worried faces, and behind them, there were Xuanwu guards dressed in Xuanji armor.

Seeing the empress and Lu Chen come out, the palace people first glanced at Lu Chen in surprise, and then hurriedly walked to the empress's side to serve.

Xuanwu Wei was still expressionless, and waited until the empress passed by them before he made a move, dutifully guarding around the empress like the guards in the palace before, but he didn't even look at Lu Chen.

It's like a cold machine.

The empress looked ahead and said lightly: "Huaiyu, come here." ”

Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, then answered and walked behind the empress.

At this time, the empress suddenly took two steps back and approached Lu Chen.

Suddenly, a charming fragrance hit, and a few strands of black hair were gently swayed by the breeze, gently floating across Lu Chen's face, and the slight touch brought a crispy and numb feeling of comfort, which was inexplicably intoxicating.

"Let's go."

An indifferent voice sounded in my ears.

"Accompany me and make a complete end to the past."

Hearing this, a strange feeling inexplicably rose in Lu Chen's heart.

Of course, it's more of a sense of weirdness.

This kind of extraordinary way of speaking is not like that puppet emperor who allows others to be rounded and flattened......

Shaking his head, Lu Chen suppressed a trace of ominous premonition that welled up in his heart, and responded in a deep voice: "Weichen, it's an honor!" ”

The empress bowed slightly, then stopped talking, and walked towards the Xuanji Gate with a calm expression.

At this time, outside the Xuanji Gate.

Jiang Chengdao straddled the Shadow Horse and stared directly at the Xuanji Gate that was wide open not far away.

Behind him, a group of core generals of the Cangming Army stood silently in place, unable to shake them no matter how the cold winter wind raged around.

And among such an elite Cangming army, there are a few quite eye-catching figures, which are Li Zheng, Xie Hongyun and others who Jiang Chengdao deliberately took when he sent troops to pursue Empress Dowager Zhao before.

I saw that they were dressed in green clothes, dressed as scribes, and they were either pot-bellied or thin, and they didn't dare to use the cold exorcism technique in front of the Holy King, and their physical fitness alone couldn't stop the invasion of the cold wind, and the whole person couldn't stop shivering.

"Your Highness..."

Li Zhengzhen couldn't help it, so he stepped forward with courage and walked to Jiang Chengdao's side.

"Forgive the courage of the minister, dare to ask what are you waiting for?"

As soon as the words fell, the others also looked at Jiang Chengdao at the same time.

Although Jiang Chengdao did not follow what they thought, he did not take the Holy Lin Road to enter Beijing from the Huangji Gate, and strongly announced that he was about to grasp the supreme imperial power in Zhongzhou, but took the Si'en Road to enter Beijing from the Nanhua Gate, and followed the process of returning to the dynasty with meritorious heroes, so that the Holy King Party, who had expressed their position early, instinctively became uneasy.

But Jiang Chengdao just walked through Nanhua Gate without saying hello, and didn't say anything else, so for now, his ambition to usurp the throne while the emperor was declining has not changed, but he just doesn't know why it's too much.

In this regard, they can only blame the Holy King for being different from ordinary people after all, and it is also different from the heroes in their cognition.

The main thing, of course, is that they don't dare to think about it.

After all, if that almost impossible possibility came to fruition, it would be absolutely devastating for them, so they didn't dare to think about that possibility.

After all, people tend to believe what they want to believe after all, not to mention that the Holy Kings have already reached this point, and it is almost impossible to give up the world that is at their fingertips.

Jiang Chengdao glanced at him and said lightly: "Wait for Your Majesty." ”

"Huh? Wait for Your Majesty? ”

Li Zheng was stunned.

What's that? A large group of them have been stunned here for so long in the biting cold wind, just to wait for the puppet emperor who has no sense of existence?

What about hair?

You're a holy king! One of the strongest in Middle-earth!

And with the male soldiers in hand, the entire Luo Kyoto is firmly controlled by the Cangming army, and there are very few people in the whole world who dare to be your enemy, they have already come to this point, go directly to Ziwei Palace and kick that weak waste off the dragon chair, won't it be over? What else are you waiting for her to do?

Unable to figure it out, Li Zheng subconsciously asked, "Why?" ”

"Huh!"

A sneer suddenly erupted from under the mask.

"This king acts, do you still have to explain it to Li Shaoqing?"

Hearing this, Li Zheng's face suddenly changed.

However, before he could speak, an incomparably vast aura suddenly poured out from Jiang Chengdao's body and pressed on him in an instant.

"Uh-huh!"

In just an instant, Li Zheng felt as if there was a thousand forces behind him, and his fragile knees could not support such a powerful force, so he suddenly snorted, and the whole person knelt down uncontrollably.

"Li Shaoqing!"

Xie Hongyun's face changed greatly, and the others were no better, and they all looked at Jiang Chengdao with surprise and fear.

"His Royal Highness the Holy King forgives his sins, Li Shaoqing is straightforward and fast-talking, and he cares about His Highness's great cause, so he is in a hurry and speaks inappropriately, and he bumpersed with His Highness in his honor, and he has no intention of despising His Highness!"

"Yes, Lord Li has a good character, is loyal and courageous, and abides by the courtiers, and it is impossible to intentionally offend His Highness, I hope Your Highness will be clear!"

"Ask Your Highness to raise your noble hand......"

A few people, you talk to me, help Li Zheng, and at the same time help yourself speak.

The corners of Jiang Chengdao's mouth under the armor raised slightly, and he sneered with disdain.

Good conduct? Loyal to the liver and gall? Abide by the courtier's festival?

This kind of waste that sells for glory and is incorruptible and shameful is also worthy?

This kind of person can actually be in a high position, and sure enough, the officialdom of Great Xia is no longer saved......

When thinking like this, Jiang Chengdao still withdrew the coercion, and at the same time said in a meaningful cold voice: "There is no next time." ”

After all, he was just a courtier, and he had no authority to deal with these traitors.

It is the most appropriate thing to leave it to the empress to dispose of afterwards.

"Ahem!"

The huge force on his body suddenly disappeared, and Li Zheng, who was freed, coughed violently for a while before finally breathing a sigh of relief.

In the next second, he stood up and knelt in front of Jiang Chengdao.

"Thank you Your Highness for sparing your life, Weichen will definitely remember this lesson, and there will never be a next time!"

For these words, Jiang Chengdao smiled and said nothing.

Next time? People like you want to have a next time?

Just when Jiang Chengdao secretly shook his head.

Inside the Xuanji Gate, at the corner of the passage, there was a sudden sound of footsteps.

Hearing this voice, Jiang Chengdao immediately retracted his gaze, then stepped forward on his horse, and slowly walked towards the Xuanji Gate on the Shadow Horse.

It's time to put an end to the darkest six years of Great Xia.
