Just when the Yuzhou Wei and Sui Zhou Wei of Qingyun City and the other three Qingning Guards outside the city were in full swing preparing to start, in the east city of Luojing City, in the Lu Mansion, Lu Chen was lying on the bed on all fours and sleeping soundly.

He has always left for work on time, but today he rarely took a day off.

The empress also took a day off because of yesterday's enlightenment breakthrough.

As a result, the government and the opposition finally ushered in a brief calm.

It wasn't until three o'clock in the morning that Lu Chen slowly opened his eyes.

"Haaa......"

He straightened up, stretched long, and then left the bedroom after a casual care.

"Cousin, you're awake."

As soon as he opened the door, Luo Xiaoyu's soft call was heard not far away, and then only a light footstep was heard, and Luo Xiaoyu's delicate figure appeared in front of him.

"Hmm."

Lu Chen bowed slightly, and then asked:

"Has anyone been handing me a prayer note lately?"

Luo Xiaoyu thought for a moment, and then replied: "Except for the ones that cousin you asked me to ignore, there is a letter of worship from the General's Mansion. ”

"When?"

"Yesterday."

"Oh."

Lu Chen replied casually.

"Let's reply to the post from the General's Mansion."

Hearing this, Luo Xiaoyu nodded subconsciously.

Then, just as Lu Chen was about to go to the bamboo forest to practice in the morning, Luo Xiaoyu suddenly asked softly:

"Cousin, I heard that the general is a very beautiful woman, cousin, you have never been moved by power, and you even ignored the worship post of the head of the court, but only accepted the worship post of the general's mansion, isn't it ......?"

"Don't be cranky."

Lu Chen shook his head.

"Miss Gu once saved my life and Xiao Yi's life, she is our life-saving benefactor, and since the Holy King of Cangming returned to the Holy Realm, Tiance Mansion and the forbidden army are the most relied on forces of His Majesty, with Miss Gu and Liangyu here, Your Majesty can govern with peace of mind, they are so important to the country, I naturally have to walk around with them more, if there is any important matter in the future, with their support, many things can get twice the result with half the effort."

Hearing this, the corners of Luo Xiaoyu's mouth raised slightly.

But in the next second, she seemed to suddenly notice something, and the arc that had just been raised instantly flattened out.

"Liangyu?"

"It's Commander Fu."

Lu Chen yawned, and there was a hint of laziness in his voice.

"Okay, it's okay to do this kind of thing, I'll go to the bamboo forest to cultivate for a while, and if I don't cultivate, this purple qi will be gone."

As he spoke, without waiting for Luo Xiaoyu to respond, he raised his steps and walked over from the side.

Halfway through, he seemed to suddenly remember something, and said to Luo Xiaoyu, who was silently looking at his back, without looking back:

"That's right, Xiao Yu, when the cultivation is over, I will go to the meditation room to meditate, I will close the door today, you help me refuse all the guests who visit, unless there is something urgent, don't let them disturb me, even if it is Xiao Yi."

Hearing this, Luo Xiaoyu immediately responded obediently.

"Okay, cousin."

After receiving a response, Lu Chen didn't speak again, and left the courtyard directly.

Luo Xiaoyu just watched his figure fade away, and it wasn't until it completely disappeared that she breathed a sigh of relief, and then turned to leave.

A breeze blew by, taking away the last hint of jasmine in front of the door.

At noon, Lu Chen, who had cultivated for a while, stood up and carefully felt the changes in his body.

Well, to be expected, almost no change is felt.

"Sure enough, simple cultivation has no effect."

The moment he opened his eyes, Lu Chen sighed slightly.

"It seems that my guess is right, the predecessor cultivated the way to help the world, and only when one of the ways is refined, or even enlightened, it is possible to break through the cultivation, just like in Yuzhou......"

With the system in his body, as long as the system conditions are achieved, his strength will naturally become stronger, putting aside the highest reward of ascending to immortal, whether it is standing still or being demoted, he can get a lot of rewards.

And the promotion of cultivation can basically be determined to be a guaranteed reward.

Most of his current strength was rewarded by two missions, and the remaining half was naturally broken through in the insights he gained in Yuzhou.

So in addition to the system, if he wants to improve his strength, he has to work the way to help the world.

Of course, the most direct way is to be dismissed or die in the line of duty, but this idea, which was originally entrenched in his entire consciousness, is a little faint at this time.

The reason why this is so is not only because he feels more and more that some things, the more forced, the more counterproductive they are, and there may be unexpected surprises, but also because he has personally experienced how cruel this ancient society of Gaowu with a lifespan from Chai Hongyu's perspective is.

Thinking of the lump of meat that was to be traded out as a Yizi at that time, and the endless despair that permeated his heart in the face of the overwhelming yellow sand of the Yellow Plague, and the joy and gratitude for the rest of his life after the catastrophe when he was rescued by that kind little official and the people, Lu Chen's body couldn't help but tremble.

Shaking his head, he suppressed these thoughts for a moment, and then walked towards the meditation room.

The moment you close the door of the meditation room, the soundproofing technique inside is activated instantly.

At this moment, no sound could be heard in this space except for Lu Chen's breathing and heartbeat.

Even time seems to have completely stood still.

In this extremely quiet space, Lu Chen's face was inexplicably a little restless.

The chaotic thoughts that he had forcibly suppressed during this time flashed quickly in his mind after they were completely let go.

It took a while for his face to gradually regain its calmness.

The fist that was originally clenched tightly gradually loosened.

After realizing the existence of the system, before the crossing, he was just an ordinary person, and his mind was almost completely occupied by the idea of dying and then ascending, which led to a series of commotion operations later, and the result was inexplicably the leading loyal minister of the dynasty, in a high position, and was regarded by the empress as a good minister of the auxiliary country.

This has almost become his only obsession.

Under the influence of this strong obsession, although he will not be blinded, he still retains the most basic conscience of a modern person in his heart, and he will not do anything for the sake of ascension, but he also subconsciously ignores many things.

And now, in the life of integrating Chai Hongyu, I have seen with my own eyes the misery of the people at the bottom of this world, and after his efforts, I have seen the vibrant smile on the faces of the people of Yuzhou, and I have seen the immortal tablet carved out of wood that I don't know where to pick up.

His obsession has dissipated a lot, and it has also made him pay attention to some precious things that he had not noticed before and that are worthy of his attention.

Like, responsibility.

Of course, the goal doesn't change, but the way to achieve it is not.

In the dark, he seemed to feel why this strange system was called "the way of being an official".

It seems that it is not so strange......

The shock that Chai Hongyu brought to him and the impact on him was far greater than he imagined.

Even in the quiet meditation room, it is difficult for him to calm down completely.

The art of tranquility slowly flowed, and time passed quietly.

Lu Chen just sat quietly on the meditation seat, motionless.

I don't know how long it has been-

Click!

With a sudden crisp sound, his shoulders suddenly shuddered.

Immediately afterwards, the spiritual power in his body suddenly became agitated, constantly impacting the spiritual veins in his body, expanding the spiritual wall that had only widened a lot not long ago, and at the same time, in the continuous impact, the spiritual power that was originally quite scattered gradually began to condense.
