This martial artist just wants to be an official

Chapter 347 Insulting Chaoyue in the palace
With the blue light flashing.

Lu Yuanzhi's eyes narrowed.

The next moment, the intense light rushed straight towards him.

Lu Yuanzhi was unable to dodge and was caught by the light.

For a moment, he just felt something entering his body, but he didn't have time to think about it.

Then I heard Jianhong's somewhat shocked voice.

"opened??!"

Lu Yuanzhi looked at the box again and found nothing strange. The thing in the box was a still beating heart.

The heart is fleshy and bloody, but has very basic vital characteristics.

"Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life."

Lu Yuanzhi came to Jianhong and hugged him.

Hearing Lu Yuanzhi's words, all the ministers in the palace looked in astonishment.

"This……"

"You actually opened it like this?"

"Uncle Lu County actually has such craftsmanship?"

"..."

There was endless discussion.

Jianhong also breathed a sigh of relief, with a smile on his originally indifferent face.

"Come on."

"Yes."

Hearing Jianhong's voice, someone moved the box away from Lu Yuanzhi and moved it to Jianhong.

When Jianhong's eyes fell on the huge beating heart, there was doubt in his eyes.

He turned his attention to Ji Xuan in the palace.

After Ji Xuan saw Jianhong's eyes, he slowly stepped forward. After looking at the heart in the box, Ji Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly.

Then he turned to Jianhong and said:
"Your Majesty, there is nothing unusual."

After hearing Ji Xuan's words, Jianhong couldn't hold back the joy on his face anymore. He wanted to look up to the sky and scream.

But he was forced to hold it down by his powerful expression management ability.

His eyes fell on Chao Yue, who looked resentful.

At this time, Chaoyue was still covering her face and staring hatefully at Lu Yuanzhi who was standing in the hall.

Jianhong was about to speak, but was interrupted by Lu Yuanzhi.

"Your Majesty, since I have opened the lock of this mechanism, please forgive the two old locksmiths."

Lu Yuanzhi's voice was full of dignity and seriousness.

Hearing this, Jianhong nodded slowly:
"it is good."

Hearing Jianhong's words, the armored man at the entrance of the palace let go of the two old men who were ashen-faced.

The two elders looked at each other in disbelief as if they had gained a new life.

Then everyone looked at Lu Yuanzhi standing in the hall.

"Plop." A sound.

The two old men silently knelt down in the direction of Lu Yuanzhi and kowtowed to Lu Yuanzhi.

Then he left the hall under the leadership of the soldiers.

Seeing the two elders leaving safely, Lu Yuanzhi slowly breathed a sigh of relief, saluted Jianhong and then returned to Ji Xuan's side.

At this time, Jianhong's eyes fell on Chao Yue.

"The demon tribe's envoy offered such a generous gift to me, Dayong. If he didn't return the gift, it would be unethical. If word spread, it would be detrimental to my reputation, Dayong."

Hearing this voice, Ji Xuan's eyes moved, then he bowed and said:
"Your Majesty, I have a gift for the demon envoy."

"Oh?"

Hearing Ji Xuan's voice, Jianhong shook his eyebrows in surprise and asked:

"What kind of gift do you have to prepare for a stay in the country?"

Ji Xuan smiled calmly, and a beautiful egg appeared in his hand:

"Your Majesty, this egg is a demon clan fire phoenix egg. I got it from my travels around the world when I was young. I just gave it to the envoy today."

Hearing this, Lu Yuanzhi, who was standing in the crowd, couldn't help but tremble his shoulders.

His eyes clearly saw that although the appearance had changed, the size of the egg was exactly the same as the Green-Eyed Eagle's egg he won in the Dao Sect Competition!

Still Ji Gonggao!
With just a few layers of paint, you can tell that the eagle eggs are phoenix eggs.

Then Chaoyue can't be happy and become a fool?

Sure enough, just as Ji Xuan finished speaking, a look of disbelief appeared on Chaoyue's face.

He stared blankly at the colorful eggs in Ji Xuan's hands and his voice became hoarse for a moment:

"Fire phoenix egg? Duke Liu, can you take this seriously?!"

Ji Xuan's face did not change, he laughed and said:
"Whether it's true or not, it shouldn't be difficult with your demon clan's testing methods, right?"

Hearing Ji Xuan's words, Chao Yue could no longer control her hands. She walked tremblingly in front of Ji Xuan and stared at the "Fire Phoenix Egg".

"excuse me."

After speaking to Ji Xuan, he did not hesitate, stretched out his palm towards Chao Yue and bit his finger.

Blood immediately flowed out from between his fingers. He stretched out his hand and dropped the blood on the egg.

Then he carefully smeared the blood on the egg to form a complex pattern.

The next moment, the colorful egg shook, and then a loud phoenix cry echoed through the entire hall.

Hearing the crisp phoenix cry, Chaoyue's whole body trembled.

"It's...it's really..."

The big man in a bamboo hat who came with Chaoyue was also looking at the colorful egg with a look of disbelief on his face, his body trembling.

Chaoyue suddenly raised her head and said in an almost pleading tone:
"Duke Liu said he would give this egg to me. Is it true?"

Ji Xuan nodded expressionlessly:

"Why should I bully you?"

Upon hearing this, Chao Yue took a sharp step back and saluted Ji Xuan:
"Thank you, Duke Liu."

Then he knelt down to Jianhong and said:
"Thank you, His Majesty Emperor Dayong."

Seeing Chaoyue looking so hopeless, all the officials in the palace were stunned.

They didn't know why Chaoyue had such a big reaction when it was just an egg.

Lu Yuanzhi, who was in the crowd, almost laughed. He really knew what the egg was about.

But fortunately, although his skills are not deep, he has also honed some in his long career as a bureaucracy, and he will endure the danger.

A smile appeared on Jianhong's lips:
"It's just a gift, no need to be so excited, but is there anything else you want?"

When Chaoyue heard Jianhong's words, she was about to say: How dare you ask for anything extravagant.

But Lu Yuanzhi's face suddenly appeared in his mind, and his eyes became sinister.

After kowtowing to Jianhong, he stood up with a faint smile on his face.

He took a deep breath and said:
"His Majesty, Emperor Yong, the foreign minister met a woman by chance on the street embankment yesterday. Seeing her outstanding figure, she has been imprinted in my mind for a long time and I dare not forget it, so I would like to ask your majesty to grant me a hand in marriage."

Hearing his next words, Jianhong's face flashed with surprise, and then he asked with a smile:

"I wonder which girl you are interested in?"

A smile appeared on Chaoyue's lips and she said:

"The foreign minister also inquired, and the woman is the current Princess Changle of Dayong."

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire hall fell silent.

"Did I hear correctly?"

"He wants to marry Princess Changle?"

"Are you crazy?"

"..."

The ministers in the palace were stunned at first, and then started talking about it.

Lu Yuanzhi's trembling shoulders suddenly stopped shaking, and his eyes suddenly turned cold, looking straight at Chao Yue's body.

Chaoyue naturally felt Lu Yuanzhi's almost cannibalistic gaze. He glanced at Lu Yuanzhi lightly, with a flash of sarcasm in his eyes, and then turned to look at Jianhong, who was still in shock.

Suddenly he knelt down and said:
"Your Majesty, as the prince of the demon clan, the foreign minister may become the new demon emperor one day. When that day comes, Changle will be the queen of our demon clan. By then, the war between Dayong and the demon clan will be guaranteed for at least a hundred years!"

This sentence is shocking.

As he said these words, the voices of discussion in the palace gradually became quieter. When it comes to matters of family and country, love between men and women seems to have never had any advantage.

And what Chaoyue said makes sense.

Well known
The Emperor of the Monster Clan has four sons. Although His Highness Chaoyue is not very outstanding among the four sons, if he really marries Princess Changle and has Dayong to rely on him, then he might not be able to win the title of legitimate son. victory……

Thinking about it this way, it seems that Chaoyue's mind is quite smart!

Jianhong naturally understood these things. He looked up and down at Chao Yue, who had a humble face, and a hint of emotion flashed in his eyes.

If Chang Le is really married to Chao Yue, Chao Yue might have a chance to become the new Demon Emperor if she has her own backing.

Moreover, although this Chaoyue looks a little more feminine in the upper area, in terms of appearance, he is still a modest gentleman...

But I couldn't agree to this kid so easily.

Otherwise, he would really think that I am the emperor who sold his daughter to seek peace.

"This matter is not urgent, let me think about it."

Jianhong shook his head slightly and laughed.

After hearing Jianhong's words, Chaoyue's eyes lit up.

There is a play!

He could naturally hear the meaning in Jianhong's words.

Just as he was about to thank the emperor, he suddenly heard a cold voice.

"Your Majesty, this is not allowed."

Hearing this familiar voice, Chao Yue had an expected look on his face. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Lu Yuanzhi.

"Ok?"

Jianhong narrowed his eyes slightly and saw Lu Yuanzhi walking out of the crowd.

Lu Yuanzhi had a blank expression on his face at this moment, but who couldn't see the coldness on his face?
"Uncle Lu County, what do you have to say?"

Jianhong still remembered Lu Yuanzhi's success in opening the box just now, and looked at him patiently and asked.

Everyone in the hall looked at Lu Yuanzhi blankly.

The second time.

This is the second time Lu Yuanzhi has done this in the palace today.

But Lu Yuanzhi seemed not to notice everyone's reaction. He walked in front of Jianhong and bowed:
"Your Majesty, don't listen to Chaoyue's family."

"What? What objection do you have?"

Jianhong had a half-smile look on his face.

Lu Yuanzhi had a serious face and a loud voice. He pointed at Chaoyue and said:
"There is absolutely no way he can win the position of Demon King in this life."

Everyone heard it clearly.

"how do you know?"

Hearing his words, Jianhong's face was obviously shocked, and then he frowned and asked.

Lu Yuanzhi glanced at Chaoyue.

At this time, Chaoyue's expression was already slightly wrong, and he had a bad premonition in his heart.

really.

The next moment, Lu Yuanzhi turned his right hand slightly in front of everyone, removed a long soft object from his scripture space, and threw it on the ground with a look of disgust.

There is a soft "pop" sound.

When they saw the soft object clearly, the expressions of the officials in the hall became strange.

Jianhong's eyes also subconsciously glanced at the soft object. After seeing it clearly, Jianhong's eyes were a little dull.

This is the first time in his life that he has seen such a thing in Jinluan Palace!

He even swore that this was something that had never been done before or since!
The entire history of the Kyushu Continent belongs to this one family!
"Lu Yuanzhi! What do you mean!!"

After Jianhong was stunned for a moment, he became angry. He couldn't understand why this young man who seemed to have some brains dared to do such an indecent thing in the dignified Jinluan Palace! !
Lu Yuanzhi took a deep breath and said to Jianhong;
"Your Majesty, please don't be angry. Rong Chen will explain."

"Tell me, if you don't understand, go and stay in Pei Yinlang's prison!"

Jianhong tried hard to hold back the anger in his heart.

Lu Yuanzhi glanced at Chaoyue, who was already sluggish, with a trace of pity flashing in his eyes.

I originally wanted to save some face for you.

It's you who insists on seeking death.

"Your Majesty, I was ordered to go to Jianzhou a few days ago to maintain the Taoist competition."

"Unexpectedly, the demon messenger Chaoyue was also among them, so he fought with him on the ring."

Speaking of this, Lu Yuanzhi sighed softly and said:

"In the end, I accidentally injured Chaoyue and castrated her..."

Lu Yuanzhi paused:

"The owner of the things on the ground is Chaoyue."

Hearing this, the entire hall fell silent.

After a while.

Suddenly there was a roar of laughter.

The birds that stood on the edge of the outer room of the main hall were so frightened that they flapped their wings and flew high.

"Yesterday I heard that Pei Yinlang's Lu Yunpei beheaded the demon prince Chao Yue in Wuqishan. I was still puzzled. Chao Yue was obviously in the capital. Now I know that it was this head that he beheaded!"

"Hahaha! It's the same, so I mean the same thing!"

"Hahahaha!"

"..."

Countless mocking words fell into Chaoyue's ears, causing his face to turn blue and white.

Lu Yuanzhi's voice continued:

"I would like to ask Your Majesty, how can Chaoyue fight for the throne if he loses the capital of being a man?!"

Jianhong's face became dumbfounded.

Ji Xuan also had a faint smile on his face.

The ministers laughed even more, leaning forward and back together.

The uncle was even more happy.

On this day, in Dayong's Jinluan Hall, Chaoyue's face was completely humiliated.

After a long time.

Jianhong glanced at Chao Yue, who was already ashen-faced, and sighed deeply.

I don’t know where this kid offended Mr. Lu, but he actually...sigh.

At this time, this scene really makes the listener sad and the listener shed tears.

"Okay, be quiet!!"

Jianhong forced himself to hold back his laughter.

He looked seriously at the ministers in the palace:

"If there is nothing else to do, I will retreat first."

Then he glanced at the object on the ground, glared at Lu Yuanzhi and said:

"Why don't you return the property to its original owner?!"

Lu Yuan said "Yes" with a look of disgust.

Then he walked to the object, stretched out his foot and kicked it to Chaoyue's feet:
"Your things are returned to you."

Chaoyue was still in a daze at this time.

"Farewell to my emperor."

With everyone shouting in unison, Jianhong stood up briskly and walked out of the hall towards the passage next to the dragon chair.

Then you can faintly hear:

"Hahahahahaha." The sound of laughter.

Apparently Jianhong no longer cared about the majesty of the Holy One, and burst out laughing as soon as he walked out of the hall.

Lu Yuanzhi glanced at Chaoyue with pity, then followed Ji Xuan out of the hall.

……

"Your Highness, let's go?"

After a long time, the big man in a bamboo hat carefully looked at Chaoyue who was standing motionless.
