Chapter 48 Response

Lu Zheng smiled and said, "Then why don't you go by yourself? You have to let me contribute."

Jing Yao squeezed her lips and said, "How can you bear to fight with the barbarian in the palace?"

Lu Zheng shook his head with a smile and said, "You are always reasonable. I can't argue with you." As they spoke, they walked back to Lu Zheng's room.

Lu Zheng smiled at Jingyao and said, "Before I went on an expedition, you asked me to bring you a gift." After saying that, he took out the eagle battle demon elixir from the storage bag and smiled, "What do you think this is?"

Jingyao took it in her hand and observed it repeatedly and said, "This is the inner elixir of the monster, but where did you get it?"

Lu Zheng said, "It was the Eagle War that entrusted me to take care of it before his death. Now I give it to you. Let's count it as a gift."

"I don't want it!" Jingyao threw the demon elixir back into Lu Zheng's hand, "What a stinky goblin's inner elixir, don't stain my hand!"

Lu Zheng shook his head and smiled, "You really don't know what's good or bad! Do you know why this mountain spirit ghost has been practicing for hundreds of thousands of years without getting old? It is because this elixir is not only the essence of its cultivation, but also the secret of its face. If you take this demon elixir with you, you can keep your youth.

Jing Yao listened and said movedly, "Then won't I just take it down?"

Lu Zheng shook his head and said, "This is a must. We are not demons. This demon elixir has only all kinds of harm and no benefit in the body. Either you go to the fire and die, or you will become a monster. Are you afraid?

At the beginning, Cui Hao swallowed his father's inner elixir, and his skills increased greatly because he was a half-demon and half-human alien, so he could refine the inner elixir of the "Wolf King" into his own, and it was impossible for mortals to do it.

Jingyao spit out her tongue and shook her head and said, "I don't want it. My diligent master's 'King Kong Fu Magic Curse' will naturally last forever. Do you want this? Hearing this, Lu Zheng had no choice but to put the demon elixir into the storage bag again.

The next morning, Lu Zheng went to the palace with Lieutenant Tong.

The emperor still sat lazily on the dragon chair. After the officials saluted, he couldn't wait to ask, "Where is Lu Zheng?"

Lu Zheng came forward and said, "Your Majesty, Lu Zheng is here."

The emperor nodded and said, "Lu Zheng, I learned from the Ministry of War that you have won a complete victory in suppressing the bandits this time. Nanping County magistrate and Xiaoqiying sent memorials and praised you very much. They really lived up to my trust. After saying that, he immediately announced, "Lu Zheng's achievements in suppressing the bandits, and the official department was exceptionally promoted to the consolation envoy and awarded him the third-class bodyguard position in the palace, and worshipped the fifth grade!"

Hearing this, Lu Zheng hurriedly saluted: "Thank you for your kindness. This time, Lu Zheng came to Nanping County and saw that the local people had been harmed by these mountain thieves. Hundreds of professions had withered, and it was necessary to rest for a period of time. I would like to plead with your majesty to be exempted from three years of corvée in Nanping County, and I still look forward to your majesty's approval.

The emperor nodded gently and said, "It's rare for you to be so considerate of the people, so it's up to you." Then he said, "The prince from that country is carrying strange Taoism, and the land of our capital is invincible. According to the national teacher, you can also do some Taoism, which really makes me feel surprised.

Lu Zheng said, "I know some Taoism, but I taught your majesty to laugh."

"It's so good." The emperor came to his senses, sat upright and said, "You go to war on my behalf. Don't let this Western Fanyi look down on me in the Central Plains. If you can win, I will definitely reward you a lot!"

At this time, Captain Tong came out of two arrays and said, "Your Majesty, Silon has already been waiting outside the palace, waiting for Your Majesty to choose one of the masters to fight against each other."

"What an arrogant man!" The emperor scolded hatefully.

Wei Dingbian, the national master, came out and said, "Your Majesty, just let this prince go to the comparative field in the palace to wait."

The emperor nodded and said to the eunuch beside him, "Let me pass on my will and wait for Siluron to the technical field. I will go there in a moment." The eunuch listened and hurriedly answered.

"Your Majesty, Lu Zheng asked for something else," Lu Zheng suddenly said again: "If Lu Zheng wins, there is no need for another reward from the emperor. I just ask the emperor to pardon the Zhao family and let them go."

At this time, among the two columns of officials, the party members of Meng Taishi said one after another, "Lu Zheng, you are so bold! The emperor ordered you to serve the country, but you repeatedly put forward conditions. You are threatening your majesty.

"Lu Zheng, are you also a member of the Zhao family?"

"Your Majesty, Lu Zheng should be punished for the crime of great disrespect!"

Lu Zheng listened and smiled proudly and said, "In this court, who is threatening your majesty, who is engaged in a party dispute, and who is disrespectful to the emperor? I'm afraid all the adults know it!"

The official jumped out and shouted harshly, "Lu Zheng, don't spit people with blood! That's what you said?"

Lu Zheng laughed and said, "Your excellency did not say that you did this, but why did you jump out in a hurry? Is it possible that as Lu Zheng said, there is a ghost in his heart?

Hearing this, the official was red and speechless. Suddenly, he knelt on the ground and said in tears, "Your Majesty, I am loyal to your majesty. This heart can be seen from you. I hope your majesty can learn from it!"

At this time, the emperor had no intention to carefully identify this person's loyalty and traitor, but raised his hand and said, "You calm yourself first, talk about your affairs later, and let you investigate carefully, won't you be clear? If it hadn't been for what Lu Zheng said, I wouldn't have asked him to compensate you.

The official stood up with a bloodless face. After thanking the emperor, he returned to his original position, but his legs fought shirlingly.

When other officials saw it, they couldn't help taking a long breath of cold air and stood still. No one dared to jump out and blame Lu Zhengheng.

The emperor nodded and said, "Since there is no objection, let's do as Lu Zheng said. The Zhao family itself is not guilty to death.

Hearing this, Lu Zheng was overjoyed and said, "I thanked the emperor for your kindness on behalf of the Zhao family!"

"Don't thank me first!" The emperor suddenly said, "If you can't win and can't save the Zhao family, I will also sentence you for holding a skill!"

As soon as this statement came out, those Meng Taishi's skirts all looked at each other happily, and said to themselves that Lu Zheng was afraid of his life.

Lu Zheng was surprisingly calm and said with a faint smile, "Since Lu Zheng is willing to take over the list, he is naturally fully confident of winning. It will certainly not disappoint Your Majesty and all of you."

The emperor listened and nodded with satisfaction and said, "In this case, Aiqing will go with me to the comparative field in the palace to watch the battle." With that, he stood up from the dragon chair and staggered under his feet for some reason. If it hadn't been for the little yellow door beside him, he would have fallen to the ground.

Lu Zheng saw it and couldn't help thinking, "The emperor's body is really getting worse day by day. Although there is a crown covering his face, he can faintly feel that the emperor's face is yellow and weak."

A minister moved to the technical field in the palace with the emperor. Lu Zheng saw that this technical field was far from the vast as the Taoist temple of the Emei faction, but the layout was extremely luxurious and exquisite, surrounded by flagpoles, with yellow flags in the wind, and the five-clawed golden dragons painted vividly.

There are small pavilions around the Taoist temple, and the gurgling stream slowly flows from under the pavilion. From time to time, crucian carp and carp jump up from the water, stirring waves.

From afar, he saw the prince from Fanbang sitting on a pavilion and standing next to a tall servant. When Lu Zheng saw it, he was so surprised that he seemed to have seen these two people somewhere.

Little Huangmen hurried to the prince of Nafanbang and edicted the two to come to see the emperor. Prince Fanbang seemed to follow the eunuch reluctantly, and the servant behind him still had an angry face.

When he approached, Lu Zheng saw their faces and remembered that the two foreign men he saw on the street that day were not these two people. On that day, the prince of this state rode a camel, and the servant behind him was a camel slave.

Prince Fanbang came forward to salute the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I have been waiting for too long. If you can't choose a master to fight against me, it only shows that there is no opponent in the Central Plains. I want to go to a wider world to find opponents, and don't waste my precious time.

Captain Tong sneered and said, "Your Highness, my good hands in the Central Plains are hidden in the mountains and forests, and I disdain to fight with you. Today, Lu Zheng, the envoy of the Taiweifu, came to teach you Taoism.

Hearing this, Lu Zheng came forward and hugged Xilong, "I'm here to teach the prince's high skills."
