Under the Xuanji Gate.

The empress stepped forward slowly with an expressionless face and walked towards the Cangming Saint King who was riding over on horseback.

Those palace maids and eunuchs trembled their legs the moment they saw King Cangming appear, and they couldn't walk anymore, and the surrounding guards also stopped tacitly and stood in place, only Lu Chen followed behind the empress step by step.

And seeing that the empress really appeared, Li Zheng and the others were shocked.

Although it was unexpected that Lu Chen, a fool, would dare to go to Purple Pole City to be on duty, it was not incomprehensible.

After all, it's not surprising that such a stupid person out of Skyrim does anything.

But it seems strange that the empress appeared at this time.

They really couldn't figure it out, the news that the Cangming Holy King was preparing to enter the capital by force should have spread throughout the entire Purple Pole City long ago, it was impossible for the empress not to know, even if she was stupid, she should realize that her puppet emperor had come to an end, and she was about to be replaced by the Cangming Holy King.

The deposed emperors who were ousted from the throne have hardly had a good end since ancient times.

So shouldn't the empress be trembling somewhere in the palace at this time, waiting for a tragic fate with 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 had a feeling that his brain was insufficient.

What are you doing? Why did you take the initiative to go up and send people's heads!

Before he had time to think about it, Lu Chen directly crossed Jiang Chengwan, walked up to her, blocked her behind him, and then said angrily towards the Cangming Holy King, who was walking not far away, "His Royal Highness the Holy King stops!" ”

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

Smack...

Iron hooves made a crisp sound as they stepped on the hard stone slabs.

As if he hadn't heard, the Cangming Saint King drove the Shadow Horse forward step by step.

Seeing this, Lu Chen's face sank, but he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

"Fortunately, it's okay, it seems that the Cangming Holy King is still normal, and then he just needs to be completely offended to death according to the plan......

Thinking of this, he took a deep breath, and then shouted at Jiang Chengdao: "Cangming Holy King, you dare to ride a horse in front of Your Majesty in Purple Pole City, don't you know that this is a great disrespect to Your Majesty?" Or are you going to rebel?! ”

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

The Holy King of Cangming came to seize the imperial power, not to mention riding in front of the empress, it was easy to force the empress to do this and that.

Except for the Saint Kings of the other three Saint Realms who were also chosen by the Holy Relic, there was almost no one who could stop the Saint Kings who possessed supreme holy power.

Not to mention Lu Chen, an ordinary civil official with in his brain, even the Eight Pillars General who guards all directions cannot be the opponent of the Holy King, this kind of absolute power is not at all comparable to ordinary people.

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

I don't know if I'm alive or dead!

The Cangming Saint King can make a fourth-rank official unable to move with his momentum alone, and for a petty official like Lu Chen, the Saint King doesn't need to draw his sword, as long as he moves his fingers, he can make him lose his body and spirit.

"Oh?"

Jiang Chengdao stared at Lu Chen coldly, and his eyes deliberately revealed obvious killing intent.

"Are you teaching this king to do things?"

"So what?"

In the face of Jiang Chengdao's obviously unkind words and extremely cold eyes, Lu Chen had a disdainful look on his face and did not have the slightest fear.

"Others are afraid of you, but I, Lu Huaiyu, am not afraid of you, it's a big deal to die to repay Your Majesty's kindness."

The smile under Jiang Chengdao's mask became more and more intense, but when he spoke, he made a chilling voice: "Are you really not afraid of death?" ”

"Hmph, what's the point of dying?!"

Lu Chen snorted coldly, and then stepped forward slowly, and at the same time took out the board that he usually used for the court from his waist, and poured all the spiritual power on his body into it, with a posture of being ready to fight desperately at any time.

"In the next is Yongchuan Yida Shelang, more than ten years of hard study, immersed in penance to seek fame, almost stolen by the villain, fortunately His Majesty is aware of everything, nominated with a golden pen in the Jinluan Palace, entrusted with a heavy responsibility, only in the next day, such a great grace, how can you not repay it with death?!"

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

She took a deep breath sharply, and her heart, which had been hardened by countless hardships, was shaken a little.

Under the narrow bangs, the eye sockets, which had almost lost their tear glands, were slightly flushed, making Lu Chen's figure in front of him gradually blur.

Even if everyone gave up on her as a puppet emperor, even if they were all enemies, they did not hesitate to choose to stand up and sacrifice themselves to face the back of the legendary almost invincible Saint King, but in her eyes at this time, it was as tall as the scales.

Lu Chen didn't notice the empress's gaze, but forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, and just stood in the way of the Cangming Saint King sitting down on the Shadow Horse, protecting the empress behind him.

Then, in the eyes of everyone who were cold, or ridiculed, or appreciative, or admired, he said loudly: "Jade can be broken but cannot be changed, bamboo can be burned but not destroyed, although the body is dead, the name can be hung on the bamboo silk, what is there to fear?!" ”

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

Who is the so-called unparalleled loyalty?

Jiang Chengdao's scalp was a little numb.

This kind of person deserves his promotion!

Between the words, the Shadow Horse had already walked in front of Lu Chen, and then saw it snort hard, but it didn't go any further, and trampled the "ignorant of current affairs" fool in front of it into a pulp with its iron hooves that didn't know how many enemy soldiers and evil spirits had been trampled on, but just stopped.

"Really?"

Jiang Chengdao's voice became colder and colder.

Lu Chen held the board with one hand and said coldly: "Unless you die in Xia, or you are not above the court, you will never let anyone act recklessly in front of Your Majesty!" ”

"The mantis arm is a car, I don't know whether I am alive or dead!"

Without waiting for Jiang Chengdao to speak again, Li Zheng behind him raised his voice and shouted: "Why does His Highness the Holy King have to talk in vain with such stubborn people? Since he is looking for death, why doesn't His Highness simply fulfill him and give him a good time? ”

Hearing this, Jiang Chengwan's eyes suddenly turned cold.

The corner of his eyes swept slightly, and he remembered the appearance of Li Zheng and others shouting at this time.

However, Lu Chen, who was upright on the surface and would rather die than give them 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 interest:

"Hehe... For the sake of your loyalty, the king will be merciful and give your majesty a chance. ”

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

it! Just kill me and then what should I do, why don't you go? Do you want to do this more for Mao?

But complaining and complaining, he still didn't want to cause trouble, so he said directly: "What do you mean?" ”

"It's simple."

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

In the end, he let out a terrifying sneer.

Although he didn't say it explicitly, 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 can he stop the legendary Holy King?

Mantis arm as a car? Li Lao'er, you look up to Lao Tzu too much.

The bacteria block the high-speed rail is about the same.

This thing is like taking off your pants and farting, and it stinks.

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

"This king wants to see how long you can stop this king!"

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

That power is even stronger than when Li Zheng was suppressed before!

Boom!

Lu Chen only felt a huge force coming from behind him, and the whole person was instantly suppressed and unable to move.

And the power suppressed on his back became more and more powerful, and he was in a posture of bending his knees and making him kneel down on the spot and surrender to the Cangming Saint King in front of him.

Fortunately, he had already prepared, concentrating all his spiritual power under his feet and waist, and he just carried the power of the Cangming Holy King so hard, and he would not give in.

knees, without a trace of bending.

Not a single move!

"Your Majesty..."

Lu Chen gritted his teeth, and while struggling to support himself under the power of the Holy King, he used all his strength to make a feeble shout to the empress behind him: "Hurry up!! ”
