Although I discussed with the empress for a long time last night, I left the palace under the escort of Xuan Jiwei and returned to the mansion, under Luo Xiaoyu's meticulous care as always, when I lay on the bed and rested, it was already ugly.

But Lu Chen still got up early in the morning as usual, and then left the mansion and went to the court under Luo Xiaoyu's worried gaze.

I don't know why, since he drank the bowl of hot soup sent by the empress, he always felt hot in his lower abdomen, and his body seemed to have endless strength, as if a punch could kill a cow.

I was so busy last night, and I only slept for two hours when I got home, but now I don't feel tired at all, but I am very energetic, and I can't wait to go to the Liuke Corridor to do all the work of Liukelang immediately.

Or hurry up and get rid of the regulations of the reform system of the sect that the empress confessed last night.

Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep tonight.

"Huaiyu."

As soon as he left the house, he hadn't walked a few steps when a familiar voice suddenly sounded behind him.

Hearing someone call him, Lu Chen suddenly stopped, turned his head, and looked in the direction where the voice came from.

However, before he could see clearly, dozens of blue butterflies suddenly passed in front of him.

In the next second, with a gust of wind, all the butterflies dispersed in an instant, and then a shadow in a unicorn robe fell in front of him so elegantly.

Seeing the person coming, Lu Chen immediately bowed slightly, and arched his hand: "Governor Gu." ”

The person who came was Gu Simiao.

In fact, when he saw the unicorn suit on its body, Lu Chen knew who the person who stopped him was.

Now in the entire Great Xia, there are only nine people who have Qilin robes, that is, the eight generals of the Pillar Kingdom who command hundreds of thousands of troops and guard all directions for the empire, and now the commander of the Cangming Army, the Holy King of Cangming, who controls the entire division for the empress.

And among the Eight Great Pillar Kingdoms, there is only one woman who is familiar with him.

"Don't be so angry."

Gu Simiao walked up to Lu Chen, stood side by side with him, and said softly:

"Although you and I haven't had much intersection since we met, you have helped me so much at a critical moment, this kindness is enough to cross any identity gap, and now it is an informal occasion, so there is no need to care about these false courtesies."

"Just call my table word [Xiyue]."

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

Also call each other the words, are you afraid that others will not know that you are one of my backers?

For Gu Simiao, an unexpected backstabbing guy, after calming down, he didn't have any bad feelings.

Such a loyal minister who understands righteousness, cherishes his family and country, and is wise and brave, and has unparalleled wisdom, there is actually nothing to hate.

Seeing her was just a little depressed at best.

"Let's call you Miss Gu next."

In this regard, Gu Simiao didn't force it anymore, just nodded lightly.

"Let's go to court together."

"Hmm."

The two walked side by side in the direction where the Xuanji Gate was located.

"Say."

didn't take a few steps, Gu Simiao took the initiative to bring up the topic.

"This morning, the imperial court will issue an official reward to the meritorious person who killed the demon queen this time, Huaiyu, your merit is second only to me, with this military merit, you can at least get a hereditary county duke, and with Your Majesty's trust in you, you will never give you the barren land, let alone let you leave Luojing, the pillar of the country, so you will probably set aside a place in Shuntian Mansion as your food place."

"Hmm."

Lu Chen responded very casually.

This indifferent attitude made Gu Simiao squint her eyes.

"Huaiyu, you don't seem to be very enthusiastic about the matter of sealing the public, aren't you happy?"

"Happy."

Lu Chen tugged at the corners of his mouth.

I'm dying of joy!

"However, it is not my intention to be a marquis, and what I wish is that the world is stable, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the Great Xia will be stable for a long time, so the reward of the imperial court is not very concerned in the next, whether it is a promotion or a knighthood, it is meaningless in the next, after all, no matter what position you hold in the lower body, what title you have, it will only be Lu Huaiyu in the next."

Hearing this, Gu Simiao's eyes couldn't help but shake slightly.

"Huaiyu is really as legendary, loyal to the monarch and the country, and dedicated to the public."

She complimented her heartily.

"Miss Gu has won the prize."

Lu Chen said a few polite words to him.

The two of them chatted with each other as they walked briskly outside, and soon came to Suzaku Street.

"By the way, Huaiyu, do you have time tonight?"

Gu Simiao asked softly as if she suddenly remembered something.

Lu Chen thought for a moment, then nodded, and said, "It's okay, there's nothing to rush through, is there anything wrong with Miss Gu?" ”

Hearing this, Gu Simiao said directly: "After my father learned about the incident in Huangzhou, like me, he was grateful to you Huaiyu, and he wanted to thank you in person. ”

After a pause, Gu Simiao suddenly looked at Lu Chen's eyes fixedly, and said softly: "If Huaiyu has time tonight, you might as well come to the Gu Mansion and let your father represent the entire Gu family and thank you for saving your life." ”

"Although it is insignificant compared to Huaiyu, your kindness to the Gu family, for the sake of your father's sincerity, please don't refuse."

Hearing this, Lu Chen subconsciously wanted to find an excuse to shirk.

But after thinking about it, getting closer to Gu Simiao, the high-ranking real power of the empire, is actually not a bad thing for him.

One of the most taboo things for the emperor was that his courtiers and military attachés were too close to each other.

Even if this military attache has made a great contribution to the court, it is the same.

The great credit is not worth the imperial power.

And the predecessor has a lot of relationship with Gu Simiao, and getting closer to her is not against common sense, nor is it against personality.

Don't worry about system limitations at all.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen immediately nodded.

"Okay, it's over at the next value."

Seeing him agree, the corners of Gu Simiao's mouth suddenly lifted slightly, revealing a bright smile.

"Then it's settled."

"Hmm."

Just when Lu Chen and Gu Simiao were on the court side by side.

Yuzhou.

Huxian, a luxury manor.

"Father."

A middle-aged man dressed in a fancy costume walked into the inner hall anxiously, and then said to the old man lying on the chaise longue in front of him with a solemn expression: "The news that the person just came back that the movement of the court is becoming more and more unfavorable to us. ”

Hearing this, the old man suddenly opened his eyes, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.

Like an unsheathed sword.

"How?"

The middle-aged man said in a deep voice: "It is said that the left servant of the Ministry of Officials, as we thought, generously made a generous statement to His Majesty in the court, explaining the harm of the martial arts herdsmen, and opened the photo talismans of those dog officials in public to strengthen their persuasiveness, and even His Majesty was moved." ”

The old man's eyes froze, and he said, "What about later?" ”

The middle-aged man took a deep breath, and then said slowly: "Seeing that the imperial court is about to punish those damned martial artists, but at this moment, the Governor Lu who turned our Yuzhou upside down stood up and supported the martial artists who were assigned to various places when he suddenly left office. ”

Hearing this, the old man's face suddenly turned pale.

Wherever they are, the gentry and wealthy families are inextricably linked.

Either this family marries with that family, or which family marries a daughter to which family.

Through a network of in-laws, they are relatively locally united.

And before Lu Chen killed all sides in Yuzhou, involved Yuzhou in the empty warehouse case and colluded with the corrupt officials and wealthy families who intended to make a fortune by relying on the flood to destroy the family, among the people who died under the supreme authority of the Sword of the Extreme Dao, there was no old man who married the daughter of another family, or a nephew who grew up watching from a young age.

Thinking of their tragic death under Lu Chen's sword, the old man couldn't help but grit his teeth.

"It's this dog thief again!"
