Bang!!

With a deafening roar of thunder, a sound of thunder the size of a bucket fell from the dark clouds, instantly piercing the sky, and then quickly disappeared into the dim sky.

Immediately afterward, raindrops the size of beans began to pour down, completely enveloping the entire land of Gyeonggi in an instant.

"Huh?"

Thunder and torrential rain interrupted Lu Chen's thoughts, and he quickly came back to his senses and looked out the window with a frown.

"Thunderstorms, or ......"

muttering to himself, the scene when he was assisting Xiao Yun in Yuzhou to control the water inexplicably came to mind.

At that time, the heavy rain in Yuzhou was continuous, and it was difficult to see the sky clear for ten years, and the air was filled with a rich water aura, constantly washing the Tianmen River embankment that had been in disrepair for a long time.

He used to like rainy days very much, and liked the peace and comfort in the hustle and bustle of rainy days.

But since he came back from Yuzhou, he couldn't like the rain anymore, and every time he faced the rain curtain, especially the heavy rain, he had an inexplicable sense of irritability.

Unconsciously, he has changed a lot compared to himself who first came to this world and turned on the system.

Just like now, when he sees the heavy rain, he will subconsciously think about whether the rainstorm will continue, whether it will be an abnormal gathering of water aura, whether it will cause floods, whether he needs to give early warning, and prepare for flood control in advance.

Although the obsession in my head still exists, it is more and more deviant from the primary consideration, and in its place, there is something that is getting heavier and heavier on my shoulders at some point while being in a high position.

However, even if he perceives the change in himself, and even has put the cart before the horse, it is still difficult for him to return to his former self.

He is not averse to this change.

"Lu Qing."

While thinking about it, a soft cry suddenly sounded outside the door.

Lu Chen retracted his thoughts and turned his head to look.

In the next second, in his eyes, a shadow in a scarlet dragon robe was reflected.

It is the current ruler of the Great Xia Dynasty, the Yongchu Emperor who was only seventeen years old and threatened the four seas, Jiang Chengwan.

At the same time, it is also Lu Chen's only source of rights at present.

Swish!

Lu Chen got up quickly, then stood beside the bed and arched his hand towards Jiang Chengwan.

"Wechen see Your Majesty."

Jiang Chengwan waved her hand.

"You don't have to be polite, you have injuries on your body and have difficulty moving, so these vulgar etiquette will be waived."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Lu Chen thanked him, but he didn't hear anything wrong with this.

With Jiang Chengwan's trust in him now, if he hadn't insisted on abiding by the courtiers' festivals, these courtesies would have been gone long ago.

Jiang Chengwan walked up to Lu Chen and asked softly, "Huaiyu, how is your body, do you feel unwell?" ”

She said with great concern, but her own voice was a little hoarse, and it was easy to hear a tiredness in her words.

Lu Chen looked at her little face, and soon noticed that there was an unconcealable tiredness in her eyes, and he suddenly remembered that Chai Hongyu had just said that when he was in a coma, most of the time it was the empress who took care of him personally.

Although it is good to untie the wide clothes. Uh, no, that's not the point.

The reason for the empress's current fatigue is obviously because she is working hard for him.

I have to say that from the perspective of a monarch and a minister, this young emperor is so good to him that he has nothing to say, throughout the ages, there are very few kings who can trust a courtier without reservation like her, let alone take care of a courtier himself.

Even if he didn't care about his official position and career, he couldn't help but be a little moved by the empress's trust.

After a while, Lu Chen's eyes froze slightly.

"Your Majesty Xie cares, Weichen's health is fine, but Your Majesty"

At this point, his tone became a little dull.

"Chai Qianhu has already told Wechen that His Majesty has been working tirelessly to take care of Wechen in the past few days."

Jiang Chengwan smiled slightly, and the tired color on her face quietly faded a little, replaced by a seductive crimson.

"Lu Qing has been worried about state affairs, it is rare to rest for a few days, and when there is a disaster in Xingping County, in order to protect the people of Daxia, he does not hesitate to sacrifice himself to meet the enemy, and he will not retreat from the battle, so that the people of the county will survive the disaster, and he will make great contributions to the court.

"If you are grateful, Lu Qing doesn't need to say it, this is my due righteousness, Lu Qing doesn't need to think about it."

Lu Chen shook his head and said slowly:

"Wechen knows that His Majesty regards Wechen as a humerus and treats him as a countryman, and never doubts each other, Wechen has always kept in mind His Majesty's kindness, and has never slackened for a moment, just to repay His Majesty's kindness, however"

"Being in the top position, the supreme in the world, everything, should focus on the overall situation!"

As he spoke, he suddenly bowed down and arched his hand towards Jiang Chengwan again.

"Your Majesty's life is in danger of Great Xia's safety, the well-being of all the people in the world, there is no room for a single slip-up, and the body of ten thousand gold cannot be lost by half a cent, and please Your Majesty will not be reckless in the future, risking your body, let alone working too hard for one person, no matter what, it should be based on the security of the dragon body."

Hearing this, the smile on Jiang Chengwan's face froze slightly.

After a while, she looked at Lu Chen's gaze, inexplicably revealing a trace of subtlety.

"Lu Qing, you have misunderstood me, I am not ignorant, and I am definitely not a person who is willful."

She walked up to Lu Chen and slowly put it under Lu Chen's arched hands.

With an astonishing warm touch, Lu Chen only felt that his hand was lifted up by two soft clouds.

"As far as I am concerned, Lu Qing, you are the overall situation."

Hearing this, Lu Chen's eyes couldn't help but shake.

Jiang Chengwan said again: "You always say that the body of ten thousand gold should not be moved lightly, otherwise it will affect the whole body with one hair, and it will have a great impact on the overall situation, however, Lu Qing, why aren't you like this?" ”

While saying this, her eyes kept on Lu Chen's face, and she looked at him without flinching.

The eyes are blazing.

"Today, there are strong enemies such as the Turks, the Sea Clan, and the Xizhou Alliance of Nations outside my Great Xia, and there are thousands of years of accumulated disadvantages that have eaten away at the national fortune, and many chaotic ministers and thieves such as the remnants of the Demon Queen, the Demon Sect, the Illegal Wealthy Family, and the remnants of the thieves are dormant everywhere, ready to move, and Lu Qing, since you became independent, you have been innovating, implementing new laws, constantly removing the accumulated shortcomings, and rejuvenating the dynasty.

"Lu Qing, you have the talent of Wang Zuo, and you are determined to innovate, you are the best candidate to preside over the new policy, if you have any accidents, the new policy will no longer be presided over, the foundation of the prosperous era that I have built with great difficulty in Daxia, the people of all directions have been looking forward to a stable life for I don't know how many years, and it is very likely to be destroyed in the counterattack of the thieves."

"Although the Holy King is strong, he is indeed the pillar of the country today, but he does not have Lu Qing's talent for governing the world, he can only protect the country, and no matter how strong the Cangming army is, it is not the power of my Great Xia after all, it can only ensure temporary stability, only Lu Qing"

At this, the corners of her mouth raised a smile again.

"You are the only hope for the true revival of my Great Xia."

These words are not just simple compliments and exaggerated wording for the empress to express her importance to Lu Chen.

In fact, Lu Chen has indeed brought many remarkable changes to Great Xia in the past year.

He did damage the inherent interests of many princes and nobles, but it was not himself who was fat, but the treasury of Daxia and the internal treasury of the empress, and the people also benefited from it, although his influence only radiated to the land of Gyeonggi, Huangzhou, Jingxiang Province, Sui, Yu and some areas of the surrounding provinces, but even so, the tax revenue of the treasury this year was much higher than in previous years.

The New Deal has achieved remarkable results, Jiang Chengwan is not blind, and naturally sees everything in her eyes.

When she said this, in addition to not being selfish for outsiders, she also did it out of her responsibility as an emperor.

For the ruler of the Great Xia Empire, who is blessed with the fortune of a country, what wealthy family, what royal family, what Taoism is good and evil, in front of the Jiangshan Sheji handed down by his ancestors, it is not worth mentioning.

A peerless warrior like Lu Chen, a courtier who is perfect to the extreme, the emperor can't praise him enough.

Lu Chen's lips moved, and he subconsciously wanted to refute something.

But as soon as he opened his mouth, his mind instantly appeared when the people of Shiyi comforted him, and at this moment, he only felt that his lips and teeth were like a thousand pounds, and he could no longer open and close half of it, and he couldn't say a word.

"So, Lu Qing."

Jiang Chengwan gently let go of Lu Chen's hand, and said with a solemn expression: "Your importance is not inferior to mine, and even exceeded, you said that I have a golden body and do not sit in danger, in this case, for the sake of thousands of people in Daxia, Lu Qing, you should also cherish yourself, and everything should be done to protect yourself, isn't it?" ”

Facing Jiang Chengwan's rhetorical question, Lu Chen was rarely silent.

After a while, he raised his head, looked at Jiang Chengwan's bright eyes, and said in a rather hoarse voice:

"Your Majesty has taught you a lesson, and Weichen knows his mistakes."

Seeing that Lu Chen honestly admitted his mistake, a flash of surprise flashed in Jiang Chengwan's eyes.

After working together for more than a year, she knows Lu Chen well.

This man is good at everything, loyal and extremely talented, and his character is not to be said.

The only drawback is that he is too stubborn, and he can't pull back the nine cows that he believes, but he understands a lot of truths, and many times even the emperor can't convince him, let alone make him admit his mistake.

It stands to reason that this time, as usual, would refute her with some big reason.

Lu Chen's reaction at this time was a little unexpected by Jiang Chengwan, which made her stunned.

However, after a while, Jiang Chengwan thought about it, this turmoil in Xingping County was obviously a great blow to Lu Chen, and it was already a blessing in misfortune to be able to keep Dao Xin, and his mood would inevitably be hit hard, and it was reasonable to be a little abnormal.

As soon as she thought of this, she couldn't help but sigh, looking at Lu Chen's gaze, she couldn't help but feel a little distressed, and at the same time clenched her fists, secretly hating those moths that ate inside and out.

The government colluded with the evil sect to assassinate the ministers of the Zhu Kingdom, even if she put aside her selfishness, she, as the emperor, must not give up, no matter what, she must find out the mastermind behind the scenes.

Directly wipe out the three clans!

"Let's not talk about that."

Jiang Chengwan took a deep breath and said slowly: "Lu Qing, since you are awake, go back to Beijing with me tomorrow to recuperate, I have already arranged it, let's go directly to Ziwei Palace after returning to Beijing, with the power of the Holy Spirit in Yao Chi, you will definitely be able to recover Lu Qing's body as before." ”

Lu Chen shook his head.

"Your Majesty, let's talk about the matter of returning to Beijing later, Weichen wants to go out tomorrow to see how the county is now."

Hearing this, a touch of unnaturalness quietly appeared in Jiang Chengwan's eyes.

"Lu Qing doesn't have to worry too much, Xingping County now has the Holy King personally in charge, and Xiao Ge Lao is in charge of the overall situation, it will be foolproof, you can return to Beijing with me to recuperate."

Lu Chen shook his head again.

"Wechen is still a little worried."

He tilted his chin slightly and looked at Jiang Chengwan.

"Before we are sure that the people are safe, Weichen really can't feel at ease, I hope Your Majesty will give me permission."

"This"

Jiang Chengwan hesitated.

And it was this moment of hesitation that made Lu Chen keenly aware of something.

"Your Majesty."

Jiang Chengwan still wanted to insist, but Lu Chen frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Could it be that during Weichen's coma, something happened in Xingping County?" ”

was stared at by Lu Chen's solemn eyes, and the hesitation on Jiang Chengwan's face was even worse.

She struggled for a while before she finally let out a helpless sigh.

Luojing, Dongcheng.

In the Yanguo Mansion late at night, the lights were still on in the hall at this time.

Da da da.

Zheng Yue, the contemporary Duke of Yan Guo, was pacing back and forth in the hall with an anxious expression at this time, as if he was waiting for something.

After a while, there was a sudden soft noise at the side door.

Zheng Yue raised his head as if he felt something, his eyes moved slightly, and his footsteps stopped.

A moment later, a sturdy figure quickly walked through the corridor and into the hall, and then knelt in front of Zheng Yue.

"Master."

Zheng Yue looked at him and couldn't wait to ask in a loud voice, "Have you cleaned up the whole end?" What is the situation in the capital now? Have you spotted Xuan Jiwei's recent movements? ”

"Reply to the master."

The figure's voice was a little hoarse, and there was no trace of human emotion in his words.

"All the hidden lines have been cleared, and the people involved in transporting materials have also been killed by our dead soldiers."

Hearing this, although Zheng Yue's face was silent, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The dead man continued to report: "Now that the capital has been completely under martial law, no one is allowed to enter or exit, all the city gates are heavily guarded, and all the bans have been activated. ”

Saying that, he added: "According to what the master said, the subordinates tried every means to instigate Xin and Hou Youzi to go and break into the city gate, but as soon as this guy pushed the guards, he was commanded by Xuanwuwei to kill Zhu Yong on the spot. ”

Hearing this, Zheng Yue's brows, which had just stretched, furrowed tightly again.

Sino and Hou Chenli are no ordinary figures.

Although the Chen family has no background, and there have been no great big names in the ancestors, Chen Li himself is just a bastard and waiting for death.

But he has a good younger brother - Chen Ba, one of the eight pillars of the Great Xia Empire and the governor of Dian Prefecture who ruled the southwestern border.

Although Gu Simiao, who stepped into the realm of unity in his early twenties, and led the army to defeat the alien iron cavalry, returned to the army safely after sacrificing to the heavens in the holy land of heaven, and completely defeated the alien race to the point that he couldn't raise his head, Chen Ba was also a generation of influential figures, dominated the southwest for decades, fought more than 1,000 battles, and rarely lost.

The Chen family is backed by such a powerful hero, and Zhu Yong's husband actually slaughtered the Chen family's extremely favored young son so hastily?

Behind Zhu Yong is the Holy King, and the Holy King is now unconditionally supporting the empress for some reason.

Without the empress's instructions, Zhu Yong's family would not have been so decisive, and they would never have dared to do so desperately.

In other words, this time, the empress is determined to investigate strictly to the end at all costs!

As soon as he thought of this, Zheng Yue couldn't help but gasp, and his face became visibly ugly. (End of chapter)
