After Jiang Chengwan said this, Lu Chen suddenly found that the pit he had dug before seemed to have been filled perfectly.

Realizing this, he couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded.

But after pretending to think about it for a while, he shook his head.

"No, it won't."

For a person who may ascend to immortal at any time, there is really no need for a partner or something, and once there is a concern, it will increase the risk of generating demons, so this kind of thing does not mean that he is a straight man of steel at all, even if he is a sea king, he has to avoid it.

So he did not hesitate to deny it again: "The ambitions and actions in Weichen's heart, for some people, are tantamount to snatching food, destined to be incompatible with officialdom, and it is also destined that Weichen will touch the fundamental interests of many families, wealthy families, and even sects, and make countless enemies, maybe when, he will die under the fierce counterattack of a certain force." ”

At this, he sighed softly.

"Therefore, with people for a lifetime, Yu Weichen is just an unattainable luxury, unless Weichen's ambition is truly realized, otherwise no matter how beautiful things are, they are just a mirror, such as Weichen, how dare they ask for extravagance? How can you delay a peerless beauty like Miss Chai? ”

Hearing this, the joy that had just risen in Jiang Chengwan's heart disappeared without a trace almost instantly, and was replaced by endless sadness.

Really... Lu Qing thought of everything.

As the emperor, she naturally knew that Lu Chen made profits for the people, did not hesitate to stir up the storm, and killed people in Yuzhou, even King Yu himself could not be spared, as well as the drastic restructuring of the Ministry of Industry, setting off the wind of the way of things to impact the way of sages that has become increasingly decaying, etc., although it is beneficial to the dynasty and has a far-reaching impact.

But at the same time, it gradually touched the interests of officials, gentry, wealthy families, and all those who had the learning of the sages as their foundation.

Especially the research project he recently set up in the Heavenly Crafts Division to study spiritual power, spiritual energy, and runes, Jiang Chengwan didn't dare to think that if this seemingly impossible research was really successful, there would be earth-shattering changes in this Great Xia, and even in the entire Heaven of Central Continent.

The more he does, the more far-reaching the impact, and the heavier the backlash becomes.

Even when he threatened the fundamental interests of those people and forced them to the point of life and death, even in the face of Jiang Chengdao's Saint King's might, they might take risks, just like when Lu Chen was investigating the empty warehouse case during his tenure as the governor of the two states.

For the sake of the fundamental interests of the family, what can't those people do?

It's just a small local family, and the world's wealthy families, those behemoths that have been passed down for an unknown number of generations, will sit back and wait to die?

Lu Chen is determined to take this path, and he will inevitably face all this, and it is no wonder that he has no expectations for his partner at all.

Nothing else, since he can't give people happiness, why let people accompany him to live a precarious life?

"Does it have to be like that?"

Jiang Chengwan asked softly.

Lu Chen naturally knew what she was referring to, and nodded without hesitation.

"Weichen thinks that if you don't do this, you can't save Great Xia."

Jiang Chengwan fell silent, and her face gradually revealed a complicated color.

After a while, she raised her head slightly, looking at the majestic man in front of her, and a look of determination quietly flashed in her eyes.

"I see."

She took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Lu Qing, let it go, no matter what, no matter what happens, I... will be on your side. ”

After a pause, her tone became a little heavy.

"Even if the sky falls apart, as long as I am still in power for a day, I will never let Lu Qing and you suffer half of the grievances."

Hearing this, Lu Chen couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, and he couldn't wait to slap himself twice on the spot.

Your Majesty... You and I have no grievances, why is this......

Shaking his head, Lu Chen just arched his hand towards Jiang Chengwan, pretending to be grateful.

Jiang Chengwan was about to say something more, but at this moment, in the fiery red sky, the fiery red giant bird that had been completely formed suddenly let out an extremely loud chirp, and then the fire wings shook, and the speed swooped down in the direction where the Ziwei Palace was located.

The incomparably rich fire aura completely covered the entire Ziwei Palace in an instant, and the temperature of the air rose rapidly, and everyone felt a burst of blazing aura.

Seeing a large bird composed of flames rushing straight down, everyone subconsciously wanted to flee, and many people shouted while running wildly:

"Escort! Escort! ”

Only the Xuanji Guards pulled out the sharp blades in their hands one after another, and stuck in place with solemn faces.

However, as the emperor, Jiang Chengwan, who seemed to be in danger, looked at the sky as usual at this time, and there was no hint of retreat in his eyes.

Soon, the fiery red bird flew down.

Xuan Jiwei, who had already been prepared, swung his sword at the same time, releasing all the spiritual power in the blade, turning into countless dense sword qi, and in an instant, a network of blades was formed, firmly protecting Jiang Chengwan and Lu Chen.

Seeing that the giant bird was about to collide violently with the blade net, but in the next second, the giant bird was like a phantom, directly passing through the blade net, and then flew into the Yao Pond in the blink of an eye.

Whew!

With a vortex of flames that did not react to its surroundings, the giant bird disappeared without a trace in just a few breaths, as if it had been absorbed by something.

At the same time, the sky outside gradually returned to normal, and the burning sensation in the air obviously began to dissipate, and the coolness of early spring once again filled the Ziwei Palace.

Jiang Chengwan and Lu Chen glanced at each other.

"It seems that Miss Chai's enlightenment is over, Lu Qing, let's go in."

"Hmm."

Then the two of them entered the Yaochi Hall one after the other.

At this time, there were no palace maids inside, this was Jiang Chengwan's order, in that situation just now, she was not sure if Chai Hongyu would hurt the innocent when she realized the Tao, so she removed all the palace maids.

As for herself and Lu Chen, with the Extreme Dao Sword and various Heavenly Rank Secret Techniques to protect themselves, there was nothing to worry about.

However, as soon as she entered the Yaochi Palace, the sharp-eyed Jiang Chengwan suddenly turned around, and then raised her hand very quickly and pounced towards Lu Chen, while covering Lu Chen's eyes with her right hand.

Wow......

At the same time, the amazing touch and faint fragrance came to his face, and the strong rebound force made Lu Chen take two steps back slightly.

Lu Chen: "??? ”

He subconsciously wanted to ask, but before he could ask, Jiang Chengwan said:

"Lu Qing, don't look at indecency, you can go out first."

As she spoke, she subconsciously moved her body back, and the soft and nothing-like sari in front of her suddenly left Lu Chen's face.

Then she took the opportunity to push Lu Chen again and made him turn around.

Hearing Jiang Chengwan say this, Lu Chen was slightly stunned, and then understood in seconds.

Without the slightest hesitation, Lu Chen responded very simply.

But just as he was about to get out of here—

"Is it Governor Lu?"

But in the Yao Pond not far away, Chai Hongyu noticed Lu Chen's existence and asked in surprise.

"Forehead ......"

Lu Chen responded rather embarrassedly.

"It's down."

Rushing!

With the sound of water, the people in the Yao Pond stood up suddenly.

A sharp light suddenly flashed in Jiang Chengwan's eyes.

In the next second, she saw a flash of brilliance, and the Sword of the Extreme Dao instantly appeared in her hand.
