The villain queen's close minister

……

Demons are dancing in the window, and evil spirits are rising in the house.

The terrifying and condensed demonic energy was trapped in a room, surrounding the figure in the center.

From time to time, a beautiful demon girl appears who seduces all living beings. She dances gracefully with her eyes full of affection, and seems to be able to corrupt the hearts of all living beings. But in the end, she returns to the demonic energy and evolves again.

Suddenly, the figure opened his eyes, and the monstrous demonic energy rushed towards the figure like a tide.

The figure opened his mouth and sucked, and the re-evolved Demon Girl was swallowed into his mouth.

Soon, the room returned to calm.

The air is fresh and full of spiritual energy, without any trace of evil spirit left.

"The Nirvana Sutra is truly extraordinary. It is worthy of being a unique martial art. Even after being integrated into the Taichu Origin Sutra, it still maintains a certain independence." The demonic light in Su An's eyes gradually converged.

His whole body is surrounded by the aura of Taoism and has an overwhelming spiritual energy, as if he is an immortal who has attained the Tao.

The external ways and the internal demons are no different from this.

He sorted out the evil energy that he had absorbed before, and also made the life pill in his body, which was related to his life, more round and smooth.

When I walked out of the room, Aunt Tang was waiting outside.

"My Lord, Commander Lu is here."

"Lu Chen is here." Su An raised his eyebrows slightly, nodded, and signaled Aunt Tang to leave.

Then he walked towards the hall.

It was certainly true that he had promised Shi Nian Gu that he would reduce Lu Chen’s workload.

Mr. Su occasionally keeps his word.

It just so happens that the hard work has been almost done, so let's make it easier for Lu Chen.

"My Lord!" Seeing Su An coming, Lu Chen, who had been sitting upright, quickly stood up.

After just half a month's work, Lu Chen turned from a sunny boy into a working social animal, with a haggard face and tired eyes.

"I wonder why the Marquis summoned me?"

Su An patted his shoulder and sat in the main seat. "Brother Lu, I have seen your performance during this period. You have done a very good job. It is a waste of your talent to let you do those things."

"Your Majesty, thank you for your praise. I am just doing my job." Lu Chen said modestly.

That was not just his job, it was almost all the miscellaneous matters of half of the Xuanniao Division. He stayed up for more than ten days without sleep to finish it, just to gain trust as soon as possible.

"Good, very good!" Su An tapped the corner of the table and looked at Lu Chen with appreciation: "I have something to give you, are you willing to do it?"

Lu Chen's heart moved, and he knelt on one knee to express his loyalty, "I will do whatever the Marquis tells me to do."

"The border defense equipment of the Desolate State is old and needs to be replaced. Your Majesty has handed this matter over to me and asked me to handle it well."

Su An paused for a moment, his face showing worry: "Huangzhou is an important border defense area, and wild monsters invade from time to time. If we want to replace the border defense equipment, we are still short of 10 million spirit stones. Your Majesty, just let me solve this 50 million spirit stones myself.

But everyone knows that I am an honest official, I have no extra money, I live in poverty, how can I afford so many spirit stones. "

"I think about it, those scoundrels in the country have no intention of serving the country, but abuse their power for personal gain and are corrupt. Now is a good time to deal with them."

He looked at Lu Chen with a somewhat scrutinizing look: "Brother Lu, are you willing to be the sword in my hand?"

Lu Chen was shocked, thinking that the opportunity had come.

Fifty million spirit stones is not a small amount, but he would never believe that Su An didn't have it. Just look at the fact that every time the Xuanniao Division raided the property over the years, Su An made a fortune. He is the biggest rat in the country.

But now is not the time to explore this. Lu Chen knows that Su An is preparing to take the opportunity to collect money and eliminate dissidents.

If he can do this well, he will definitely be valued by Su An, and then...

"I am willing to be the Marquis's sword and cut through the thorns for him!" Lu Chen knelt down on his knees and said firmly.

Although doing this will inevitably offend many people, it will all be worth it as long as revenge can be achieved.

"Brother Lu, I was right about you." Su An smiled and made a promise: "If this is successful, you will be my confidant."

He took out a list and put it on the table. "Just search the house according to what's on this list. As for the evidence, Xuanniaosi will cooperate with you."

"Thank you for your trust, Lord!"

Lu Chen lowered his head to the ground and waited for Su An to leave for a while before he slowly stood up, with deep hatred and a little joy in his eyes.

Su An, you would never have thought that I am your enemy!

He picked up the list, opened it, glanced at it casually, and suddenly stopped.

The first name on the list was the Shi family of Yuanzhou!

Nian Gu’s family is an old friend of the Lu family.

Yuanzhou is next to the imperial capital. The Shi family was once a family in the imperial capital, but was forced to leave the imperial capital after their support for the eldest prince failed.

Next up are the families that either once supported the eldest prince or had grudges against Su An.

These families are not famous or prominent, or they have gradually declined in the struggles in the officialdom. Many of them were once allies of the Lu family, but Su An still wanted to target them.

The only one not on the list was his Lu family.

This is to make him the sinner!

His hand holding the list trembled, and his heart seemed to be surging with an evil dragon, making him feel confused.

Once he does this, it means that he has completely cut off ties with the past, and only in this way can he be reused by Su An.

But the Shi family, Nian Gu.

Lu Chen clenched and unclenched his fists.

"Sorry, Nian Gu, I can't let this opportunity go!"

Chapter 147 Sister-in-law, open the door. I am my brother.

He can't turn back.

If this matter cannot be accomplished, he may never have the chance to gain Su An's trust again.

Anyway, Su An only said that he wanted to confiscate the house. If we let him do this, he can also save the lives of Nian Gu's parents.

If Su An is handed over to someone else, my uncle and aunt will be in danger.

……

The next day, the news that the demon cultivator rebellion had been quelled reached the imperial capital. The Demon Lord did not show up, Lu Chen's grandfather died, and the other Pure Yang cultivators who were sent out also suffered heavy casualties. Even more Pure Yang demon cultivators died, leaving only a few fast-running old demon turtles who hid in the north and dared not jump again.

Lu Chen set up a spirit tablet for his grandfather in the room and knelt on the cold floor all night.

"Grandpa, I will avenge you!"

When he walked out of the room, his expression returned to being grim.

Well, the casualties of Chunyang actually made it easier for him to confiscate the property afterwards.

"Lu Chen, are you... okay?"

Shi Nian'gu also received the news that Lu Chen's grandfather had passed away, but seeing that Lu Chen seemed to be fine, she didn't know how to comfort him.

"I'm fine." Lu Chen turned his head slightly, not daring to face the girl's concerned gaze.

"Nian Gu, I'm going to practice now."

After saying this, he walked away quickly. He was now a cruel official who was about to raid Nian Gu's family. How could he have the face to accept Nian Gu's concern?

"Lu Chen..."

Nian Gu opened her mouth to call him, but finally stopped.

Obviously, the cousin has helped to arrange a more relaxed job for Lu Chen, but why do they feel more unfamiliar with each other even though they live under the same roof?

……

In Taiyuan Palace, Hongshao and Qingling were both guarding outside the palace that day.

The spiritual energy from all around continued to gather into the hall.

The spiritual energy in the palace is already rich, even the most top-notch sacred mountain and blessed land cannot compare to it, not to mention the Taiyuan Palace where the empress lives.

Suddenly, a black bird that seemed real and unreal hovered on the Taiyuan Palace and made a pleasant chirp.

Qingling and Hongshao both smiled.

"Your Majesty has made another breakthrough."

Hongshao looked inside the palace with a bit of sigh.

She was the one who watched His Majesty grow up bit by bit. Even she, who had been with him for many years, was often amazed by His Majesty's terrifying talent.

To be disrespectful, the late emperor's talent pales in comparison to your Majesty's.

It’s just that Your Majesty has always deliberately concealed it and rarely exposed it.

It is precisely because of this terrifying talent that the royal ancestors firmly support Your Majesty.

Compared with your majesty's talent, the former eldest prince is just a little Karami, not worth mentioning.

"Speaking of which, Xiao Anzi has made rapid progress recently. We almost failed last time we tried to seal his cultivation."

Thinking that Su An had already reached the peak of the Life Pill realm, Hong Shao began to feel a little bit like she had grown old.

I clearly saw Xiao Anzi in the womb not long ago.

As expected, this pair of siblings are both perverts. I practiced hard for more than a hundred years before I achieved Chunyang, which is considered a rare genius in the outside world. However, it has only been a short time and they are about to catch up with me.

A hint of urgency flashed in Qingling's eyes when she heard this.

She has just reached the peak of her life pill realm, although considering her age, her talent is already quite good.

After all, she is much younger than Hong Shao, and she has excellent talent, otherwise she would not have been chosen as the female official beside His Majesty.

But it's still too slow.

For example, she was unable to provide any help during the siege of the Dragon King Palace's master last time.

She also wants to be Sister Qingling who Xiao An can rely on.

Hong Shao seemed to see through her thoughts and couldn't help but tease her: "Xiao Qingling, being a sister doesn't necessarily mean you have to be strong. Sometimes it's good to be a useless sister who relies on her brother."

"W-what?"

Qingling quickly turned her head, and an unnatural blush flashed across her cold face.

Seeing that Qingling was unwilling to admit it, Hongshao just covered her mouth and smiled without saying anything more.

Inside the hall, Su Ruoxi's aura gradually faded, the fierceness in her phoenix eyes turned into calmness again, and she returned to her former lazy look.

The pair of jade feet were about to be put down, but then she remembered that Xiao Anzi was not at home today, so she could only lightly place them on the head of the bed.

With the cover of the Xuanniao's luck, no one could discover the specific strength of this empress until Su Ruoxi took the initiative to reveal her aura.

"Middle stage of Pure Yang, still a little slow."

There was still some dissatisfaction in her eyes.

If those so-called geniuses heard this, they would probably be so ashamed that they would cover their faces and commit suicide.

But the empress was not satisfied with her progress in cultivation. She was already extremely talented, and with the help of the lucky black bird, there were almost no bottlenecks on her path of cultivation.

In this way, it took him a full twenty years to break through to the middle stage of Pure Yang with an extremely solid foundation.

If you want to achieve the primordial spirit, it will take at least ten years.

Only then will she have the courage to not be afraid of that ghost thing.

As an emperor, he has to deliberately hide his own achievements. Isn't this a shame?

But in order not to follow in her father's footsteps, she had no choice but to do so.

The empress looked towards the top of the palace, where the black bird of luck was circling, as if it was about to soar into the clouds and tear the sky apart.

"This day will eventually be the day of our Great Shang!"

……

There has been a small upheaval in the imperial capital recently.
