Chapter 105: Capture Cao Wenzheng

It took several days to consolidate and adapt. After all, it was not a breakthrough of shackles, the increase in strength was not that much, and it was not difficult to adapt.

In order to ensure that Cao Wen Zheng could be captured in one fell swoop, Lu Changjing also specially conducted drills with Qingqiu Xiaoyu and Jin Longyu, and at the same time he was prepared for the possibility that Cao Wen Zheng would not be captured in the first place.

During this period, Cao Xiuyuan and Zhang Zhaozhong will also lead a large number of experts to guard outside. In case of such an accident, they can take action at the first time and besiege Cao Wenzhen.

The drill alone lasted half a month, and many possibilities were simulated to ensure that nothing would go wrong.

Otherwise, if something went wrong, at best Lu Changjing would have to flee, or at worst he might be kept in the palace by the old monsters of the Daning royal family, and that would be the end of him.

Lu Changjing also took special precautions, telling everyone not to believe whatever Cao Wenzhen did or said, as he was just slandering him, the Emperor of Daning, and he just wanted to save his life.

After making all the necessary preparations, Lu Changjing was ready to take action.

That evening, after Cao Wenzhen had dealt with a bunch of things that gave him a headache, he thought that he hadn't been to the imperial study to criticize the fake emperor for a few days, and that he still had some things to tell him, so he walked towards the imperial study.

Unexpectedly, when he was halfway there, he met the Minister of Revenue Jin Longyu who was hurriedly coming. He was also going to the Imperial Study.

"Minister Jin, are you going to the imperial study?" Cao Wenzhen took the initiative to greet him.

A strange look flashed across Jin Longyu's eyes, and he smiled and nodded: "I have something urgent to discuss with Your Majesty. Is Chief Steward Cao going to go too?"

"Yes, I also have something to discuss with Your Majesty." Cao Wenzhen nodded, a meaningful smile flashed across his lips, but he did not ask what it was.

After all, after Jin Longyu reports to Lu Changjing, he will also be able to find out.

However, Jin Longyu didn't seem to be afraid of him knowing, and said with a smile: "Then let's do it together. What I'm going to report is about the Huangsha River dam."

"Summer rainstorms are coming, and dikes in many places have already leaked. If they are not repaired in advance, there is a risk of dike bursting. According to the news from the Imperial Astronomical Observatory, there may be heavy rainstorms in the Huangsha River Basin this year, which will be much more severe than in previous years."

"The Imperial Astronomical Observatory's deductions are often wrong, so there's no need to be so anxious." Cao Wenzheng frowned, "Besides, you know the current state of the national treasury. We can't afford to repair the river bank."

Jin Longyu smiled bitterly and said, "Even so, the situation is not good. We still have to report to His Majesty. What if His Majesty can give us the taxes paid last year?"

Cao Wenzhen wanted to say that all the taxes had been used up, but the fake emperor didn’t have any. However, he couldn’t tell Jin Longyu about this for the time being, so he let him tell the fake emperor first.

The two chatted and laughed all the way to the imperial study. Cao Xiuyuan outside immediately closed the door of the imperial study.

Cao Wenzhen didn't care about it. It was not a strange thing.

The two of them walked all the way to the dragon table and bowed to Lu Changjing together: "Your Majesty."

Because of Jin Longyu's presence, Cao Wenzhen did not dare to act wildly, so he performed the etiquette obediently.

Seeing this, Lu Changjing hurried down, as if to support the two of them: "My two dear ministers, please..."

"Soul-breaking!"

Before he could finish his words, he saw Jin Longyu beside Cao Wen Zheng suddenly attack, using his top-level spiritual weapon combined with advanced spiritual secret techniques to bombard Cao Wen Zheng's spiritual sea which was caught off guard.

But Cao Wen Zheng is worthy of being a veteran grandmaster. He reacted at the critical moment and mobilized the top spiritual defense magic tools and talismans in time to protect his spiritual sea. He looked at Jin Longyu in disbelief.

"Psychomania!"

At this moment, a strange fox jumped out from Jin Longyu's arms and attacked Cao Wenzheng again. The top spiritual weapon combined with the innate secret technique easily broke through Cao Wenzheng's mental defense, making Lu Changjing's Shocking Soul Stab and Shocking Eyes Tribulation useless.

"Soul-picking technique!"

There was a hint of surprise on Lu Changjing's face, but his hands did not slow down at all. He used the soul-picking technique and easily took away a wisp of Cao Wenzhen's three souls and seven spirits who had no defense.

During this period, Cao Wen Zheng did not even have time to react. He never thought that his mental defense was so fragile and was easily broken by this strange fox.

As long as he persisted a little longer, he would be able to use more trump cards to protect his spiritual sea, but he simply didn't have the time.

In this way, he was captured by Lu Changjing, and his life and death were controlled by Lu Changjing.

Cao Wen Zheng was stunned and looked at Lu Changjing in disbelief. He obviously didn't believe that he could use such a powerful spiritual secret technique to take away a wisp of his soul in an instant.

You have to know that he is a grandmaster. Even without mental defense, the power of his spiritual sea alone can resist most spiritual secret arts.

As a result, he was completely powerless to resist the soul-picking technique.

Moreover, Cao Wen Zheng obviously did not recognize the Soul-Picking Technique. Through the Soul-Stealing Technique, Lu Changjing also discovered that there was no information about the Soul-Picking Technique in his mind.

It seems that Ning Zhongyu did not tell Cao Wenzheng about the Soul-Picking Secret Scripture, and he also did not know about it.

Seeing that Cao Wenzhen no longer resisted, Lu Changjing knew that he was a smart man, so he waved his hand and asked Jin Longyu and Qingqiu Xiaoyu to go out.

The two of them quickly left the imperial study and locked the door.

"Clap clap clap..."

Seeing the two people leave, Lu Changjing raised his hand and slapped Cao Wenzhen, slapping him one after another. Soon Cao Wenzhen was dizzy and his whole body was swollen.

Cao Wenzhen wanted to resist, but his soul was controlled and he dared not do so.

He also knew why Lu Changjing wanted to hit him. He had hit Lu Changjing so many times before, so this time it was his turn.

Lu Changjing whipped Cao Wenzhen hundreds of times, almost the same number of times Cao Wenzhen whipped him, before he stopped.

However, when Cao Wenzhen hit him, he only used the strength he would use to deal with ordinary people, and was unable to hurt him at all.

When Lu Changjing beat him, he used the strength of a master of body refining. Even though Cao Wenzhen was a grand master, he was beaten black and blue and almost disfigured.

This can be considered as revenge on Cao Wenzhen tenfold or a hundredfold, but for Lu Changjing, this is not enough.

"Master Cao, what do you say? Do you want to swear allegiance to Ning Zhongyu until death, or do you want to work for me honestly from now on?"

After beating Cao Wenzhen, Lu Changjing leaned on the dragon table and looked at him nonchalantly.

Cao Wenzheng bowed down and said: "This old slave still wants to live, so I will obey Lord Lu's orders and will no longer be Ning Zhongyu's running dog."

In the past, Lu Changjing called Cao Wenzhen "Sir Cao", but now Cao Wenzhen calls Lu Changjing "Sir Lu". The identities and status between the two have undergone tremendous changes.
