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

Hearing Lu Chen's rather unexpected voice, Jiang Chengwan couldn't help but asked curiously: "Lu Qing, do you know her?"

"Some impression."

Lu Chen nodded slightly and said very naturally: "On the day the thieves attacked Xingping County, Miss Gu and I stayed at an inn. This ugly girl was the female waiter who took us upstairs at that time."

Yes, this woman named A Chou was the one Lu Chen and Gu Simiao met when they were staying at the hotel.

But what he didn't know was that that seemingly ordinary face was just a disguise that even the powerful Guiyi Realm could not see through.

Hidden beneath this is a face that is no less delicate than Gu Simiao's.

Of course, this was nothing to worry about for Lu Chen.

Who would have thought that as the majestic general of the Cang Ling Army, Gu Simiao's right-hand man, and one of the greatest masters in Daxia, he would unexpectedly contract the blood epidemic on the night of the attack in Xingping County due to many coincidences, and be in critical danger ?

"I see."

Hearing what Lu Chen said, Jiang Chengwan immediately understood and didn't ask any more questions.

A passerby who has only met once has nothing to care about.

Lu Chen didn't say anything more, he just asked Liyue to do the dirty work and started to check A Chou's body.

Jiang Chengwan turned his head and glanced at his brother.

If a cultivator is infected with the blood plague and a blood explosion breaks out, its power will far exceed that of an ordinary person. Therefore, just in case, it is best to take extra precautions and arrange defensive warlocks in advance.

Jiang Chengdao understood instantly, nodded silently, then raised his hands, and quickly performed various seals with his fingers.

Not long after, huge spiritual power surged out of his body and swept quickly towards every corner of the ward. With his full attention, no slightest movement in the room could escape his powerful perception.

In this state, he would nip any signs of danger in the cradle to ensure Lu Chen's safety to the greatest extent.

Lu Chen didn't pay attention to Jiang Chengdao's movements, but stared at the endoscope in his hand.

Since there are differences between men and women, and A Chou's hair was not tied up, and she was still a young girl, this time he did not let Li Yue take off her clothes directly, but asked her to stuff the instrument under her clothes.

Although the doctor has a parental heart, he is not a doctor after all, so it is better to pay attention.

Not long after, the internal situation of A Chou's body was clearly visible to Lu Chen through the endoscope.

To a certain extent, A Chou was seen by Lu Chen.

Really see the light.

The super explicit kind.

The instruments and talismans such as the Spiritual Pulse Instrument and the Spiritual Match were operating at the same time. Liyue was highly concentrated and constantly intercepted and saved the various information collected by Lu Chen.

And when Lu Chen adjusted the lens of the endoscope to go deeper inside, his eyes suddenly widened.

"so big!"

Hearing his exclamation, Jiang Chengwan's little head suddenly came over.

After a moment, her black jewel-like pupils shrank suddenly.

Inside the endoscope, at the same position as the previous patient, there was a fleshy lump almost the size of half a fist. It was stretching back and forth visibly to the naked eye. Its color was also darker, and it seemed to contain something. There is some overflowing terrifying energy, and just looking at it gives people an ominous feeling.

According to Lu Chen's previous inference, this fleshy lump was the source of the blood explosion. It was like a bomb. As long as it absorbed enough spiritual energy and controlled the human body's spiritual veins, it would explode immediately.

When an ordinary person is infected with the blood epidemic, a fleshy lump no larger than the size of a fingernail can become a threat to cultivators. Once such a big fleshy lump explodes, its power is unimaginable.

In just a moment, Lu Chen's expression became extremely heavy.

"Your Majesty the Governor."

At this time, Liyue suddenly said in a condensed voice: "Nearly 90% of the spiritual veins in this girl's body are abnormal, and almost all of them are connected to the meat tube under the flesh ball. The spiritual power in the spiritual veins is constantly flowing to that ball. The flesh balls flow, and the spiritual appearance is 90% different from ordinary people."

Hearing this, Lu Chen frowned immediately.

"Sure enough, it's pretty much as expected."

As he spoke, he slowly stood up.

That fleshy lump is most likely the product of the disease aura taking residence in the human body. By continuously absorbing the aura and controlling the spiritual power, it strengthens itself. When it accumulates to a certain level, a blood explosion will occur, and then through the blood explosion, the epidemic will spread exponentially. The spiritual energy infects other living beings until it can no longer touch the living beings and leaves a dead zone.

Liyue took back the instruments and talismans.

"Mr. Governor, what should we do now?"

At this point, she subconsciously glanced at A Chou, who was lying quietly on the hospital bed, and said in a rather solemn tone: "The results of this girl's examination are not optimistic. According to the pulse and endoscopic feedback, the spirit in her body is The power is extremely disordered, and most of it is beyond her control. In this case, the fleshy lump has probably reached the critical point and will cause a blood explosion at any time."

"Furthermore, according to the spiritual signs, this girl's source of spiritual power is extremely surging. She must have amazing talents and potential. Once the blood explodes, such a massive amount of spiritual power breaks out out of control, and the epidemic spirit will turn everything around her into death in an instant. territory, and may even infect the earth on a large scale, with unpredictable consequences.”

After saying the last sentence, Liyue didn't say any more, but the meaning behind it was obvious.

According to the records of blood epidemics in ancient literature, when a cultivator is infected with the blood epidemic, the power of the blood explosion is closely related to the person's strength, spiritual roots, potential, etc. The more outstanding the cultivator, the greater the power of the blood explosion caused.

But for Liyue, who is one of the top masters of Xuanji Guard, to be so solemn, it is obvious that this girl named A Chou is not just an ordinary folk warrior.

Maybe even she herself doesn't know how good her spiritual roots are.

If it were normal for Liyue to discover such a good seedling, she might even meet Lie Xinxi and make a cameo appearance. Oh, no, she was introduced to the Xuanji Guards, which is constantly expanding its recruitment.

But now, the excellent cultivation talent has become the biggest disaster.

With the Holy King around, they probably won't be in any danger, but they may not be able to completely suppress the power of the blood explosion from spreading to other places.

If the power of the blood explosion is beyond imagination, and countless rich plague spiritual energy spreads,

Lu Chen did not respond immediately, but fell silent.

Jiang Chengwan and Jiang Chengdao did not speak, but looked at Lu Chen silently.

As the emperor and the holy king, the Daxia Empire now has the most power, so they naturally have the right to make decisions. However, Lu Chen is too special, and even they will subconsciously take into account the thoughts of Lu Chen, a perfect and virtuous minister with unparalleled benevolence and righteousness.

After about half a cup of tea, Lu Chen's lips finally moved a few times.

"No matter what, the imperial court cannot give up on any of the people of Daxia."

The moment the words fell, the three people's faces showed no signs of surprise. It was obvious that Lu Chen's choice was completely within their expectations.

Under Jiang Chengdao's mask, there was even a hint of a smile on his extremely handsome face.

However, as they focused their attention on Lu Chen, they did not notice that A Chou, who was lying on the bed next to him, had an undetectable eyelash twitching the moment Lu Chen finished speaking.

None of the three people said anything against Lu Chen's somewhat irrational choice.

Jiang Chengwan said bluntly: "In that case, let's move this girl to an open place first. This should minimize the risk of blood explosion."

Lu Chen nodded.

Always prepare for the worst.

Although he had decided to find ways to save A Chou, he could not harm others. A Chou was obviously in danger at this time, and if he did nothing, he would not be able to wait for Liu Ruowei and the others to arrive.

We must find a way to eliminate the threat of blood explosion, at least temporarily slow it down.

So the best way now is to move A Chou away as Jiang Chengwan said.

Although the blocking techniques around the ward are not bad, they are not foolproof, otherwise Liyue would not have specifically reminded A Chou that he was in danger now.

Soon, Jiang Chengwan's order was issued, and a group of Qingning Guards immediately moved A Chou on the hospital bed to the carriage, and then Lu Chen and the others drove the carriage quickly towards the outside of the city.

The carriage didn't stop until it came to the gate of an abandoned temple more than 20 miles away from Xingping County.

Along the way, Jiang Chengdao kept sensing the outside noise, and only after confirming that there was no human habitation within a ten-mile radius did everyone bring A Chou to the temple.

Then Jiang Chengwan took out the Jidao Sword and directly activated the Holy Spirit spell inside to clean up all the evil and filthy things around the ruined temple. At the same time, he used phaseless derivation to build a blocking array on the outside.

Seeing that the arrangements were almost complete, Lu Chen, who had already changed into a white robe, took a deep breath and stepped in front of A Chou. (End of chapter)
