Chapter 178 Old Guard
Within the palace.
Sure enough, there was no imperial army to be seen, only groups of palace guards patrolling.
Bedroom.
King Mingze was lying on the dragon bed reading a book. His expression and spirit were the same as a month ago.
In addition to the queen and concubines, there were three princes serving King Mingze.
Minghao and Mingyue led Lu Chen in. King Mingze sat up with a smile on his face and looked at Lu Chen with a keen eye.
"Well, he is indeed a talented person, young and promising!"
King Mingze nodded with satisfaction and then praised.
At that time, as soon as he woke up, Lu Chen left, and he didn't even see who his benefactor was.
"King Mingze praised me."
Lu Chen made a warrior salute and said humbly.
"According to them, you found out that I had been poisoned by the soul-eating poison, so you prescribed the right medicine to save me."
King Mingze paused and then said, "Do you know who is good at using this poison?"
"have no idea."
Lu Chen shook his head.
"During this period, I also ordered people to inquire about the origin of this poison, but no results were found. The Yongming Dynasty does not have this poison."
King Mingze glanced at Lu Chen again and asked, "Since you know this poison, do you know where it comes from?"
"Out of this world."
Lu Chen answered briefly.
"outside the world"
After hearing this, King Mingze pondered for a while and stopped asking further questions.
In fact, I didn’t dare to ask further.
When it comes to the outside world, it becomes a big problem!
No force in the world can be tolerated by him.
"Lu Qing's family, you have made a contribution to saving me, and I have decided to give you a heavy reward."
King Mingze turned to the topic, looked at Lu Chen with a smile, and said, "I will give you a thousand beauties and a million gold coins!"
"Thank you King Mingze for the reward. Lu Chen accepts it heartily."
Lu Chen refused.
money?
He has no shortage of crystal cards and hundreds of crystal coins.
Beauty?
One thousand more?
What do you want to do here, double cultivation?
If he really wants it, what else will he get? What kind of death will he get?
King Mingze really treats him as a little pervert.
"Don't you want beautiful women and gold coins?"
King Mingze thought for a while and then said, "I heard that you are the winner of the martial arts competition. Your combat power exceeds the ninth level of the Transformation Realm. You are a martial arts genius. That's just right. You can join the army. The country is in need of generals with strong combat power. I am The king has appointed you as General of the Western Campaign, commanding an army of 500,000 soldiers on the western route."
As soon as he said this, everyone's eyes were fixed on Lu Chen.
There is the fierce gaze of the queen, the angry gaze of the eldest prince, the hostile gaze of the other two princes, and the hungry gaze of Ming Hao!
There was another person whose eyes were very interesting and blank, that was Princess Mingyue.
Obviously, Princess Mingyue doesn't understand this.
If Princess Mingyue had some knowledge of national affairs, she would have been Ming Hao's right-hand man with her cultivation and combat prowess.
Lu Chen sighed secretly, this princess who looked so calm on the outside was actually quite dumb.
"Lu Chen is grateful for King Mingze's generous reward."
Lu Chen reluctantly refused again and explained, "Lu Chenzhi is not here and will not be able to serve the country in the future. Please forgive me King Mingze."
As soon as Lu Chen expressed his stance, Ming Hao's eyes dimmed, while the eyes of the Queen and others were filled with joy!
"My ambition is not here, my ambition is far away!"
King Mingze let out a long sigh, with a look of disappointment in his eyes.
Recalling that before he was young, he also had ambitions for distant places and wanted to travel to the outside world. Unfortunately, after inheriting the throne and staying in the world, his lifelong wish could not be realized.
"You don't want money, beautiful women, or high officials and salaries, so I don't know what to reward you?"
King Mingze thought for a while and then asked, "How about you tell me, what do you want me to reward you?"
Lu Chen glanced around, looking at the vicious queen, then at the ferocious eldest prince, and at the other two princes casting hostile glances at him, and he knew what to say.
"A throne!"
Lu Chen's words were astonishing, and they were so frightening.
"presumptuous!"
"What a courage!"
"Get this madman out of here."
The queen and others were furious, pointing at Lu Chen and yelling at him.
"Quiet!"
King Mingze glared at those people angrily and shouted, "I am talking to the Lu Qing family, and it is not your turn to interrupt. If you do it again, I will cut out his tongue!"
When King Mingze finished speaking, everyone's faces changed color and they all stopped talking.
Then, King Mingze turned his head, looked at Lu Chen, and smiled faintly, "Since the Lu Qing family has ambitions far away, why do they want my throne?"
"I didn't want it, I gave it to someone else."
Lu Chen smiled slightly and said so.
Hearing this, the queen and others became even more furious and wanted to strangle Lu Chen to death.
If you give someone a throne as a gift, are you treating the throne as an item?
Fortunately for you, Lu Chen, you can tell it. Aren't you afraid of being chopped down when you turn around?
"Who are you giving it to?"
King Mingze suppressed his displeasure and asked.
"Minghao!"
Lu Chen stretched out his hand and pointed at Minghao.
In an instant, there was a silence in the palace, as if it was deathly silent.
Everyone was shocked, including King Mingze.
Even Princess Mingyue, who was a bit stupid, was shocked.
Minghao was shocked and broke out in a cold sweat, crying crazily in his heart.
What's going on?
What I said beforehand is not like this!
It doesn't matter that you, Lu Chen, don't want military power. You actually want your father to pass the throne to me. This is interfering in palace affairs. You are really brave.
If my father is angry, I will definitely chop off your head, and he may even chop off my head.
Lu Chen, you are really
So weird!
"Do you want me to pass on the throne to the fourth prince Minghao?"
King Mingze frowned. Although he did not have an attack, his face no longer looked good.
"Yes."
Lu Chen confirmed.
"What is your name, Fourth Prince?"
King Mingze asked suddenly.
"Minghao."
Lu Chen confirmed again.
"You don't call the fourth prince, but call him by his first name. It shows that your relationship with Minghao is extraordinary. You want to support Minghao to inherit the throne."
King Mingze thought for a while and said slowly, "It's not impossible for you to want this reward, but you have to have the ability!"
"Please ask King Mingze to come up with the question."
When Lu Chen saw that King Mingze's tone was a little loose, he knew there was hope for what he wanted.
Of course, he also knew what King Mingze meant. The next step was his assessment. If he could pass, everything would be easy.
"I believe in force and respect the strong. You must have extraordinary combat power to convince me."
King Mingze looked at an old guard beside him and said, "Go and fight him and defeat him."
"As you command!"
The old guard responded and walked over.
"He is a loyal guard who has followed me for decades. If you defeat him, I will promise you."
King Mingze glanced at Lu Chen and said with a smile.
"good!"
Lu Chen nodded, and immediately released his breath, and the realm emerged, reaching the fifth level of the spirit transformation realm.
As soon as the old guard released his aura and reached the Yuan Dan realm, his aura was so powerful that he instantly overpowered Lu Chen.
