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

Although the art of disguise is not a small spell that can be easily picked up, after all, as long as you are a cultivator, you will have spiritual limitations. Many cultivators will not be able to change their appearance. Otherwise, there would already be a lot of handsome men and beautiful women in the cultivation world. If ordinary cultivators want to achieve Yi The effect of content can only be achieved with the help of some special magic weapon.

But for a martial arts expert like their general, although it is still a bit strenuous, it is actually not particularly difficult.

As long as she uses powerful spiritual power to block the fluctuations of spiritual energy and cover up the spiritual intelligence that everyone has, she can do it. Finally, she adds her ultimate black ice secret method to change the light to build the spiritual light circle. It is not too simple.

"I see."

Yingyue nodded.

"It's understandable. When Mr. Lu appeared with His Majesty during the Xinyuan Ceremony, many people must have remembered Mr. Lu's appearance. If Mr. Lu wanted to travel in a low-key manner, he would naturally have to change his appearance, and the general's silver hair also It’s too conspicuous, I guess I’ll be recognized soon if I don’t look at it easily.”

After finishing her words, Mingyue on the side continued: "In other words, are the General and Mr. Lu planning to pay a private visit incognito?"

"Not bad."

While everyone was talking, a crisp sound of horse hooves slowly sounded.

Immediately afterwards, a simple-looking carriage drove over slowly.

"Huh? The carriage is coming and they are leaving the city?!"

Cang Yue also noticed the carriage coming from the side door of Lu Mansion, and her expression changed slightly.

While everyone was talking, Lu Chen and Gu Simiao got into the carriage one after another. Then the coachman waved his whip and the carriage drove slowly towards Zhuque Street.

"Quick! Follow the plan we discussed before! Act!"

Cang Yue stood up, as if arranging troops in formation, with a look of solemnity on her pretty little face.

"In the past few days, I must help the general achieve this marriage and win over Mr. Lu!"

"Here!"

All the female generals responded in unison, and their appearance was quite a bit like when they were attacking the Rouran tribe in Huangzhou.

Then Cang Yue reached into her arms and took out a blue orb the size of half a fist.

Immediately afterwards, Cang Yue suddenly closed her eyes, and at the same time, the spiritual power in her body began to surge wildly, and she muttered words.

Following her movements, a faint blue light that was hard to detect suddenly shot out from the orb, and shot straight into the sky in an instant, finally floating steadily in mid-air.

"The Art of Tenyin!"

The spiritual power evaporated again, and another secret method was suddenly activated.

In the next moment, Cang Yue's appearance gradually changed, from a heroic and beautiful general to an unattractive, even ugly woman.

The changes visible to the naked eye made Ying Yue Mingyue and others beside him couldn't help but admire him.

"As expected of the Thousand-faced Ghost General who once single-handedly broke into the hinterland of Rouran, deceived those damn barbarians, and finally severely wounded the barbarians and escaped unscathed. He has repeatedly performed extraordinary feats for our Cang Ling Army. He is truly remarkable."

Cang Yue slowly opened her eyes.

Looking carefully, her right eye turned light blue, very similar to the blue light in mid-air.

Although she is not as good as Gu Simiao's almost omnipotent Ice Jade Butterfly, she relies on her family's secret skills and is still quite outstanding in detection, disguise, and concealment. Otherwise, she would not be valued by Gu Simiao and has always played the role of his right-hand man. .

But she didn't expect that one day she would use the family secret technique on Gu Simiao.

To be honest, she was still a little uneasy, after all, it was a bit offensive, but when she thought of Gu Simiao's heartbreaking look during the past two months of unrequited love, her determination became stronger.

If she was discovered, she would be punished at the worst. If it happened, the general would get what he wanted, and she would be able to feel at ease.

For the general's happiness, this risk is worth taking.

Fight!

"Stop talking nonsense."

Cang Yue waved her hand.

"There is something weird about Mr. Lu's carriage. It doesn't look like anything special, and the horses are not galloping, but it is actually traveling very fast. We have reached Suzaku Street now, so we have to move quickly."

Hearing this, the others nodded quickly, and then mobilized the spiritual power in their bodies, and in an instant they activated the secret method and disappeared.

......

At the same time, Gu Simiao's team of Cang Ling Army took action to fulfill her marriage.

Xingping County, an extremely quiet village, inside a farmhouse.

"Hehe...it's done!"

A dark sneer sounded suddenly.

"Phew~ it's finally over."

Another voice sounded, his tone full of exhaustion, as if his body had been hollowed out.

Bang Bang Bang ~

Soon, with a crisp sound of something being overturned to the ground, a thick black mist suddenly surged out of the farmhouse and slowly floated outside.

Floating above the black mist was a bronze tripod the size of a person, with scary skulls and bone-shaped inscriptions carved on all sides. The eye sockets of each skull on the tripod were constantly emitting a strange green light, which made people feel inexplicably. An extremely cold feeling.

Bang!

When the black mist drifted outside, the bronze tripod above suddenly fell down and hit the ground heavily.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but at the moment when the bronze cauldron crashed down, a burst of shrill wails and whimpering came out of the dark and empty mouth of the cauldron, which was extremely penetrating.

"Tsk..."

After the bronze tripod fell, the black mist did not disappear, but quickly gathered together, forming two slightly rickety figures in an instant.

They were draped in large robes, hiding their entire bodies in the robes. They wore hoods on their heads, revealing only a pair of extremely cold eyes, emitting a strange green light.

"I really didn't expect that the souls of hundreds of ants-like pariahs could be so difficult to deal with. They were refined with the Soul Gathering Cauldron for ten years, but they still couldn't be completely refined. They were even almost eaten back. It's bad luck!"

The figure on the right said unhappily in a rather hoarse voice.

"Furthermore, this place is also very evil. There is obviously no big formation, no aura of immortals, and no ancient objects. Logically speaking, it should not have any impact on the two of us, but there always seems to be a force blocking us. Soul refining makes the Soul Gathering Cauldron unable to exert its original power at all, which makes me spend so much effort to finish it."

Listening to the complaints of his companion, the other black figure turned his head inexplicably and looked at the farmhouse just now.

"Old Ghost Xue, do you think...could it be the reason why every household of the untouchables here has that longevity tablet?"

"what?"

Old Ghost Xue looked over.

"Old Monster Li, what stupid things are you talking about? How is this possible?"

At this point, he sneered disdainfully.

"That young pretty boy who is still young and just lucky enough to get the upper hand by clinging to the female doll on the throne? It's better to believe in me than to believe in him. Maybe I am in a good mood and can leave a whole body for these untouchables."

As he spoke, he suddenly stretched out his hand. As his spiritual power surged, a wooden sign with an oily shimmer suddenly flew out of the farmhouse, and was finally firmly grasped in his hand.

"How can such a meaningless brand be used for nothing?"

The moment he finished speaking, he used force and instantly smashed the wooden sign engraved with the words "Mr. Lu" into pieces.

"That's right."

Old Monster Li thought about it carefully and realized that this was indeed the case, so he didn't care about it anymore.

"Forget it, forget about this, let's do business first."

He walked slowly to the bronze tripod.

"If we don't act quickly, those big shots who paid so much money to let us do such immoral things will probably jump up and scold us."

Chapter 267 The Essence of Money

"Aha……"

In the carriage that was speeding toward Xingping County, Lu Chen yawned out of boredom, and then leaned lazily on the extremely soft Yunjin couch.

“Spring is sleepy and autumn is debilitating, even practitioners cannot avoid it.”

Hearing this, Gu Simiao couldn't help but smile.

"So Huaiyu, do you also get sleepy during the day? I thought you were always energetic and tireless during the day."

Lu Chen shrugged.

"I'm used to being busy, but when I suddenly have some free time, I always feel a little uncomfortable."

As he spoke, he turned around, opened the car curtain on the side, and looked out the window at the rapidly retreating scene. The chaos in his mind suddenly disappeared.

Although this carriage given by the Empress looks ordinary, both its frame structure and the horses pulling it are extraordinary.

Not to mention other things, there are more than ten kinds of blast techniques recorded on the frame made of special materials, and its speed is naturally very fast.

Coupled with the major infrastructure construction in the Gyeonggi region in the first year of Yongchu, especially near the capital, as well as the simultaneous formulation of various management rules, the road traffic within [-] miles from the capital has become extremely developed, and the efficiency of vehicle and horse traffic is higher than before. It was more than ten times better, and it was no longer as bumpy and smooth as when he left the capital for Yuzhou a year ago.

Through the car window, Lu Chen saw the rush of traffic outside the window, and the scene of a bustling traffic suddenly came into view.

In the cool breeze of early spring, on the B-shaped road a little far away from the newly built road, whether they were pedestrians carrying large or small bags, or merchants and caravans driving ox carts and carriages, most people's faces showed a hint of hope for the future. Hope and yearning.

Over the past year, under the leadership of Lu Chen, the Ministry of Industry has been overloaded almost all year round, building various livelihood infrastructure projects. There is a huge demand for manpower near the capital. The population of the capital cannot meet the labor demand at all, so it can only spend money. Qian recruited manpower from surrounding areas.

Yes, recruitment, not conscription.

This is also a policy that Lu Chen insists on implementing. All craftsmen and laborers involved in the project are paid according to the established standards.

Today's capital is full of opportunities, even for ordinary people, and they can at least make ends meet.

Therefore, the expenditures of the Ministry of Industry last year were extremely exaggerated, and the expenditure applications of other ministries were all delayed. Except for necessary expenditures, most of the financial center last year was placed on the Ministry of Industry, which is why such brilliant results were achieved.

Today's capital city has shown great prosperity due to the political and economic central position of Imperial Capital and its extremely developed transportation.

If this trend continues, under the rule of the empress, Daxia is likely to surpass the rule of Renxuan at the beginning of the founding of Daxia and become a generation of saintly kings who will shine through the annals of history.

Due to a strange combination of circumstances, Lu Chen also became an unparalleled national scholar with outstanding political achievements.

He didn't feel much about this, after all, he was not famous, but when he saw the prosperous scene he had created with his own hands and the vitality on the faces of the people, he always felt a strange sense of satisfaction and accomplishment. .

He walked to and from work every day. Although he was close to Xuanjimen, more importantly, he wanted to see the people's livelihood in the capital.

Of course, you just want to give the enemy a chance to strike.

"By the way, Huaiyu..."

Gu Simiao seemed to suddenly remember something, and her tone of voice suddenly became serious.
