Empress: Your Majesty, please respect yourself, I don't want to be promoted

Lu Chen took a deep breath, then cupped his hands, bowed heavily to the people, and said in a deep voice:

"Fellow folks, I'm sorry for you."

Gu Simiao moved lightly and walked to his side, looking at the people in front of her with complicated eyes.

Her beautiful eyes looked thoughtful.

Lu Chen continued: "I have been wrongly loved by Your Majesty. I live in a temple and shoulder the important responsibilities of the seventy-five provinces of the Three Capitals. I am also the Duke of Xingping County. I should be strict with myself, abide by the integrity of my ministers, and wholeheartedly work for the welfare of everyone. I have prayed for peace and order in the world, but now I have not achieved anything, but instead I have brought disaster to the lives of all the fellow villagers. This is my crime..."

"I hold great power, but because I am satisfied with my ambition, I relax a little, and neglect to guard against the evil people, so that the thieves take advantage of the provocation and indulge in harm, bringing disaster to the common people. This is my fault..."

"With this crime, I owe the emperor's favor above me and the people below me. How can I be so virtuous and worthy of being so loved by you all?"

"I am so ashamed of myself!"

Everyone couldn't help but be a little stunned when they saw that Lu Chen actually saluted them, and also solemnly stated his guilt without any cover-up, nor did he accept their relief with peace of mind.

After a while, their eyes couldn't help but turn red.

Mr. Lu really takes these ordinary people like grass and grass into his heart.

A young man who looked like a scholar said with an moved face: "Mr. Lu, please don't think so. As the big guy said just now, we can live a peaceful life under your rule for one year. This life is already worth it. As for The murder of the thief."

"How can we be surprised when the world is like this?"

An extremely simple response, but it reveals the endless bitterness of the people at the bottom of this world.

Living in this world filled with all kinds of extraordinary powers, ordinary people without spiritual roots have to face too many threats in their lives.

Forget about natural disasters, plagues, and war disasters, evil cultivators, evil spirits, power struggles, monsters, magical beasts, spiritual disasters, etc. will also take away the lives of ordinary people at any time. No one knows where they will end up in this unfortunate life. ended in a disaster.

In such a world, ordinary people who can live their lives safely, whether they live a long life or not, are considered blessed.

It's as if they were born into this world and born as humans just to suffer.

No matter in prosperous or troubled times, their life will never be easy.

They were not praising Lu Chen just now. In fact, they sincerely felt that they could live a life full of food, eat some meat every now and then, and not have to face the wolf-like subordinates every day. There is no need to worry about being exploited by landlords. Even if it is just a year, it is already considered a good life.

This kind of ideal life that they had never dared to think about before was brought to them by Lu Chen.

In their eyes, Lu Chen was a saint-like figure.

They didn't know any sages, didn't understand the great principles of the sages' ways, and didn't understand the teachings of the classics. They only knew that Lu Chen had made them live a good life. Such a great master of Qingtian should be a prince for generations to come, with no disaster or disease in his life. Enjoy peace and prosperity.

How could he be so slandered by thieves? How can we lose our ambition to benefit the people?

How could such a rare and good official not rise to the top and shine all over the world?

They have lived their entire lives fearfully and precariously. They should be content with being able to enjoy a year of blessings. If they want to complain, they can only blame themselves for their poor fortune, but a good official like Mr. Lu should not be left here. .

They gradually regained consciousness when they first regained their original bodies.

No one knew why they suddenly regained consciousness, but at that time they were still unable to escape the control of the demon.

However, even so, they still "see" clearly.

At that time, it was clear that the woman next to Xianggong Lu could kill them all and eliminate the threat, but Xianggong Lu stopped the woman, preferring to risk being killed by them rather than harm them in the slightest.

Immediately afterwards, he was even more willing to sacrifice his life, just so that they could safely enter the six realms of reincarnation and be reincarnated smoothly.

How could they not be moved by the thought that a dignified county magistrate, a big shot like a prime minister, with hands and eyes as bright as the sky, would do this for the sake of ordinary people like them?

Throughout the ages, how many people have been able to implement the concept of loving people as children to this extent?

At that moment, almost every citizen in the city had only one thought in their mind - no matter what, we must not let the traitor succeed. Mr. Lu should not die early!

So, like crazy, they desperately resisted the demon's exquisite soul control technique.

Then, the two levels were reversed, Lu Chen lived and the demon died.

As if there was God's will in the dark, Lu Chen created a miracle intentionally or unintentionally, and this miracle in turn fulfilled him in the end.

After the scholar spoke, others also expressed their condolences.

Is there any trace of resentment in the words?

In addition to indescribable love, there is only endless worry.

Feeling the concern in everyone's words, Gu Simiao's brows relaxed slightly, but Jiang Chengdao stopped inexplicably, looking at Lu Chen's back as he bowed to the people with complicated eyes.

The cultivator is supreme. This is the unspoken rule that this world has followed throughout the ages.

The appointment of officials in the imperial court is based on the selection of the best. Monks have always been superior to others, not to mention the best among the official class and the dignified second-rank officials of the imperial court.

To such a heavenly official, these people who live in the city are not even ants.

However, despite such a disparity in status, Lu Chen, who was already in a high position, was still the same as when he was not well-known, never caring about his superiority or inferiority, and focusing on serving the people.

Benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, trustworthiness, loyalty, and filial piety, Lu Chen seemed to be interpreting the word gentleman, so perfect that he hardly seemed like a person existing in the real world.

Inexplicably, Jiang Chengdao felt a vague sense of illusion in him.

The holy relic was suddenly restless before, but it doesn't seem so difficult to understand.

It is true that there are no perfect people in this world, but it does not mean that there are no perfect people.

Although there is only one perfect existence, there is always only one.

Lu Chen didn't know that he had inexplicably gained a few more labels in the heart of Holy King Cangming. At this time, he had no energy to care about this minister of the Zhuguo who really supported the operation of the Great Xia court.

Listening to the comforting words of the people in Shiyi and feeling the concern in their words, he lowered his head slightly, his face becoming increasingly serious.

He could clearly feel that his back was no longer as empty as before.

The heavy thoughts made him feel a little mixed for a moment.

There was a rare look of confusion and wavering in his eyes.

And at this moment——

Uh-huh!

In the sky, a beam of light suddenly fell out of thin air, directly breaking through all the haze that shrouded Xingping County at this time, and quickly shrouded the souls of all the people in the city.

Gu Simiao subconsciously approached Lu Chen.

Jiang Chengdao seemed to have expected it. There was no look of surprise on his face, nor did he mean to make any move.

At the moment when he was completely covered by the beam of light, a smile appeared on the scholar's face.

"Mr. Lu, the rain has passed and the sky has cleared. It's time for us to hit the road."

Lu Chen raised his head suddenly.

Looking at the group of restaurants, I found that their figures began to become gradually blurred and faded in this sudden falling beam of light.

"Leading people with merit and virtue directly to the Holy Gate of Reincarnation in the Six Paths of Reincarnation."

At this thought, the haze in Lu Chen's eyes quietly faded a little.

Being able to bring the Shengde Sect to the world is undoubtedly a great thing for the people of these towns.

At least, it can ensure that they will have no worries in their lifetime.

Snapped!

While thinking, all the people suddenly fell to their knees again.

"My father-in-law is so kind and kind that I will never forget it. If there is a chance in the next life, I will tie a grass ring to repay my father-in-law's kindness!"

"Master, take care, I'm going to go, little fellow!"

"I would like to be the father-in-law's dog and horse in the next life!"

"I would like to be the father-in-law's dog and horse in the next life!"

"."

Listening to the sincere shouts in the beam of light, Lu Chen's eyes couldn't help but become a little moist.

He cupped his hands in the direction of the light pillar. Although he did not speak, it seemed as if he had made some determination, and his eyes became extremely firm.

The silence speaks.

The beam of light quickly disappeared.

Xiucai, Chen Da, Li Laoer and other tens of thousands of people in the city also entered the six paths of reincarnation with the disappearance of the light pillar.

"Huaiyu, let's go."

Gu Simiao said softly.

"Um."

Lu Chen nodded.

However, just when he was about to turn around, an unspeakable feeling of exhaustion suddenly came over him and spread throughout his body in an instant.

Then, before he could react, his body suddenly softened and he fell to the ground.

"Huaiyu!"

Gu Simiao exclaimed, quickly grabbed Lu Chen and held him in her arms.

Along with an amazing soft touch, Lu Chen's eyesight went dark, and before he could feel it carefully, he completely lost consciousness. (End of chapter)
