At night, the Purple Pole City is as brightly lit as ever.

In the Zichen Palace, Jiang Chengwan frowned, obviously struggling with something.

During the day, after Lu Chen said those words as if she was explaining what was going on, her mind was in a mess, all kinds of thoughts were full of thoughts, and the interest in experiencing the people's feelings with Lu Chen suddenly faded a lot.

Naturally, I didn't go any further.

After a while, Jiang Chengwan suddenly sighed lightly, and then waved his hand, quietly activating the Holy Spirit Technique that only the Supreme could activate.

"Brother Huang."

While meditating in his heart, in the Cangming Realm Palace thousands of miles away, Jiang Chengdao, who was sitting alone on the throne, suddenly moved his eyes, and his heavy and hideous mask moved slightly.

"Weichen is here, what does Your Majesty command?"

As always, even if he is a brother and sister who has always been affectionate, he will never trespass, and always remember the duty of the monarch and minister.

Even if Jiang Chengwan said many times that he should not be polite, he still insisted.

said too much, and Jiang Chengwan let him go.

"Has this year's evil turmoil subsided?"

"Back to Your Majesty's words."

Jiang Chengdao's voice was a little heavy.

"It's barely calmed down, and based on past experience, there shouldn't be any evil cult that will be able to break through the big array this year."

"Yes."

Jiang Chengwan breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's good, Brother Huang has worked hard."

Jiang Chengdao shook his head: "It's just the duty of being a holy king, there is nothing hard or hard." ”

After a pause, he said again: "Your Majesty is looking for Wei Chen, you shouldn't just care about the situation in the Holy Realm, right?" ”

Hearing this, Jiang Chengwan couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Sure enough, I can't hide anything from the royal brother."

Hearing his sister-in-law's affirmative tone, Jiang Chengdao suddenly frowned.

"Is there something wrong with the DPRK?"

"Hmm."

Jiang Chengwan did not deny it.

"The recent imperial court has been a little too quiet."

"How?"

Jiang Chengwan got up slowly, walked to the side of the dragon chair and sat down, stopped the language a little, and then continued: "Recently, whether it is Yan Song, or the civil official system behind him, or the Xunqi Group, as well as those top wealthy families in various parts of the country who have passed down for unknown generations, as long as it is Lu Qing's decision, they will not only symbolically oppose it, and then let it go, and retreat if they can, and they will not obey as before, and they will not compromise if they don't see the black blade of Xuan Jiwei, and even fight to the death. ”

"When things go wrong, there must be demons, they are so peaceful, although it is possible that they were killed by me and Lu Qing, but Lu Qing once said that when the situation is unclear, it is best to think in the worst direction of everything. I deeply believe this, and how can a thousand-year-old family succumb so easily? How many holy monarchs and sages, how many tyrannical monarchs have not brought them to their knees, how dare I hope that I can do it? ”

"Although Lu Qing has not yet entered the cabinet, he has completely offended those people, it can be said that they hate Lu Qing to the core, in order to protect the fundamental interests of the family, they must and must do their best to put Lu Qing to death, so ......"

As she spoke, she suddenly clenched her fists.

"Just in case, I want to strengthen the defense of Shuntian Mansion, can you lead the army over as soon as possible?"

Hearing this, Jiang Chengdao couldn't help but squint his eyes.

My sister's attention to Lu Chen seems to be a bit too much......

Thinking so, he didn't refuse.

"In this case, then Weichen will prepare the three armies tomorrow, and start in five days, the army can arrive in Luojing within two months, if Your Majesty is in a hurry, you can launch a star shift array, and send Weichen and a few cadres to Ziji City."

Jiang Chengwan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then it's troublesome for the royal brother."

"Your Majesty is gracious."

Then the two began to discuss the specific matters of arming.

It took two hours to finalize the matter.

And the Holy Spirit Power was also depleted at this time.

Jiang Chengwan stopped the operation, then rubbed his forehead and stood up, his little face full of exhaustion.

Although the Holy Spirit Technique is powerful, it is extremely expensive for the caster, and even if she has broken through to the Xuan Netherworld, it is still a bit difficult for her to maintain the Spirit Spirit Technique for a long time.

After resting for a while, she did not go back to Ziwei Palace to sleep, but supported her tired body, cheered up, and asked people to bring a map of the entire Sili region over and prepare to study it all night.

In a blink of an eye, three days passed.

The pilgrimage meeting was held as scheduled.

Lu Chen, as usual, walked through the vermilion wall with Chai Hongyu one after the other, and walked towards the Taiji Hall.

Since Chai Hongyu joined Xuanji Wei and became his personal guard, this scene has become the daily life of Ziji City, and this is also one of the privileges that Lu Chen has, in the entire imperial court, except for the empress, only he has guards to accompany him.

"Lu Shangshu."

Suddenly, there was an old call from the corner of the wall.

Lu Chen turned his head to look and suddenly saw a familiar rickety figure.

Then he bowed slightly to the figure and greeted him with a calm face.

"Good day, Yan Ge Lao."

That's right, that figure is now the spokesperson for the conservative faction, or the scholars, Yan Song.

After all, it is the first assistant, and the etiquette that should be there must still be there.

There was no one around Yan Song, and the courtiers who always followed him on weekdays were nowhere to be seen at this time.

After some unnutritious social rhetoric, Yan Song glanced at Chai Hongyu on the side, smiled slightly, and said, "Old Man has something to say to you." ”

The implication is to let Chai Hongyu avoid it.

Lu Chen turned his head and looked at Chai Hongyu.

"Miss Chai, you go and wait for me in front."

Chai Hongyu frowned slightly, staring at Yan Song, but did not obey Lu Chen's orders and left immediately.

"It is the Xuanji Wei Qianhu below, it is His Majesty's ears and eyes, why should Yan Ge Lao avoid being below? Is there something that can't be seen? ”

She is no stranger to Yan Song, after all, she has been with Lu Chen for a year, and she has been in the court for a year, not to mention understanding the court situation, she still has the least understanding of the court.

Facing the head of the civil officials, she didn't have much fear of the court who had rebelled against the court, and there were more civil officials who died in her hands, so she naturally didn't have much fear of these civil officials.

She has never had a good impression of Yan Song, an old fox who has not fallen after two dynasties.

In the final analysis, the reason why her childhood was so miserable was inseparable from these officials.

Therefore, at this time, she has nothing but vigilance.

"Huh."

Yan Song smiled kindly.

"For the official, he should cultivate his self-cultivation and cultivate his temperament, and he is good at cultivating his spirit, the old man is trusted by His Majesty, and he is appointed as a scholar of Wenhua Pavilion.

Hearing this, Chai Hongyu said as a matter of course: "Since this is the case, there is no need to avoid it." ”

Yan Song stroked his long beard and said leisurely: "You can't say that, Chai Qianhu, everyone has their own privacy, and respecting the privacy of others is the most basic etiquette." ”

Chai Hongyu frowned again.

She opened her mouth and wanted to say more, but Lu Chen opened her mouth and said, "Miss Chai, you can avoid it first." ”

Seeing Lu Chen's statement, Chai Hongyu was suddenly embarrassed.

"But..."

She glanced at Yan Song hesitantly, her eyes full of wariness.

To be able to stand at the apex of the Wenchen system, and to survive two dynasties, it is impossible to be simple, not to mention anything else, the most basic strength is absolutely undoubted, and it is impossible to climb to such a high position without the cultivation of the Cave Void Realm.

And Lu Chen's strength... Don't mention it.

Chai Hongyu admired Lu Chen's personality and ambition, not his cultivation.

Let Lu Chen face a strong man whose strength is at least in the Cave Void Realm alone, she is not worried.

Although the possibility of the other party's dog jumping off the wall in a hurry is extremely low, almost impossible, but she doesn't want to bet, if Yan Song really doesn't care about it, come to the limit and exchange one for one, it doesn't matter if this old thief dies or not, but if Lu Chen is gone, the glimmer of hope that the poor people in the world just saw is very likely to be extinguished in an instant.

There will never be a light of day.

Who can afford such serious consequences?

However, for her worries, Lu Chen shook his head.

"Don't worry, it's okay."

While saying this, his expression was extremely serious, and he looked confident.

Seeing that he insisted, Chai Hongyu was silent for a while before suddenly reaching out and taking off a crimson feathered red red jade from his waist and handing it to Lu Chen.

“？？？”

Without waiting for Lu Chen to ask, she grabbed his right hand and placed the red jade on his palm.

"This is the feather of the Vermilion Bird, a talisman that is refined with refined blood."

Chai Hongyu briefly introduced the name and origin of the red jade, but did not explain the specific effect.

"If the Governor insists on doing so, please put away the Suzaku Feather, so that you can rest assured."

Hearing this, Lu Chen didn't say anything, but Yan Song narrowed his eyes, and his eyes looked at the Vermilion Bird Feather in Lu Chen's hand with some meaning.

Is it a natal magic weapon refined with your own blood... This little girl is really willing......

Even if it's a lover, it's just that, right?

Lu Chen subconsciously wanted to excuse himself, but as soon as he spoke, Chai Hongyu quickly closed his hand, and then pushed it forward, allowing him to take it with peace of mind.

Immediately afterwards, Chai Hongyu turned her head again and looked at Yan Song, but she didn't speak, just looked at her like this, and a trace of coldness gradually revealed in the depths of her eyes, obviously indicating something.

Regarding the threatening eyes of the powerhouse of the Returning One Realm, Yan Song's face was as usual and he dealt with it calmly.

There was no hint of timidity.

Soon, Chai Hongyu turned around and left.

Not long after she left, a spiritual power quietly bloomed, and in an instant, Lu Chen and Yan Song saw a soundproof barrier.

Lu Chen glanced to the side as if he was aware of it.

"Okay, Miss Chai has avoided it, if Yan Ge Lao has anything to say to him, he can say it now."

"Of course."

Yan Song's vicissitudes of life on his old face still had his signature kind smile.

It was as if nothing in this world could leave a ripple in his heart.

Steady as an old dog;

No! More stable than an old dog.

Under Lu Chen's gaze, he cleared his throat slightly, and then slowly spoke: "Lu Shangshu, a year ago, the old man told you that there is no good end for those who betray their position, I don't know if you remember?" ”
