Chapter 121 The trend is beginning to take shape
"Are you my minister or the late emperor's minister?"

Looking at Gao Huijing who was puzzled, Lu Changjing asked directly.

"This..." Gao Huijing was stunned, and immediately knelt on the ground: "I am naturally your Majesty's minister."

Lu Changjing smiled and nodded: "Since you are my minister, there is no need to mention the so-called peace talks policy anymore. Also, you have betrayed the people of Daning through the peace talks policy over the years, and all the resources and treasures you have embezzled must be handed over."

"This...this..." Gao Huijing wanted to say that this was the national policy of peace talks. Didn't you agree with it? Why has it all become our fault now?

Lu Changjing, who was observing his thoughts through the soul-stealing technique, naturally understood what he wanted to say. He sneered and said, "The policy of peace talks was left by the late emperor. He also told you, the ministers entrusted with the care of the young emperor, to keep an eye on me. How dare I change it without sufficient strength? Naturally, I can only let you control it."

"Even before, Cao Wenzheng dared to put me under house arrest and even took away the imperial seal. You ministers who are entrusted with the care of the young emperor are really rampant."

"Ah... this..." Gao Huijing's face suddenly changed. He didn't expect that eunuch Cao Wenzheng was so bold. "Your Majesty, this matter has nothing to do with me. I never did this."

Lu Changjing waved his hand: "Whether you were involved or not, it is an indisputable fact that Cao Wenzheng is in the same group as you. Now you dare to covet my property. Do you really think I dare not deal with you?"

"Your Majesty's property?" Gao Huijing was stunned, and suddenly thought of something, and exclaimed in disbelief: "Could it be... Could it be that the Thunderbolt is your Majesty's property?"

Lu Changjing smiled: "If it's not mine, then it must be yours."

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I really didn't know." Gao Huijing was really scared this time. He never thought that the property he had seized during this period would actually belong to his boss, the emperor: "If I knew that this was your majesty's property, even if you gave me a hundred heads, I would never dare to do this. Your Majesty, please forgive me."

Lu Changjing sneered: "It's too late to beg for mercy now."

As he spoke, he directly attracted the three souls and seven spirits, causing Gao Huijing to fall into a coma and no longer have the strength to resist. Then he began to steal his memory carefully.

After reading it, I found that this guy did no less bad things than Jin Longyu. He also invented a lot of tortures and used all his abilities in this area.

However, he did not know that the old emperor Ning Tianbao was not dead, nor did he know that he was a fake emperor. In this respect, he was the same as Zhao Jintian.

What Lu Changjing was more concerned about were the resources and treasures he had collected over the years, including various skills, elixirs, magic stones, magic talismans, and magic tools... He had everything, and was in no way inferior to the Jinlong Jade.

As the person in charge of the entire Ministry of Justice, Gao Huijing arrested countless criminals every year. Just from these prisoners, he gained countless benefits.

Now, of course, all of them belong to Lu Changjing. After he wakes up, Lu Changjing immediately asks him to take out his years of accumulation.

During this time, Gao Huijing wanted to conceal some of the treasures, but after being severely taught a lesson by Lu Changjing, he realized that the Emperor had already found out his wealth, so he honestly handed over everything.

Lu Changjing didn't kill him either. After all, he was a grandmaster. There were only a dozen of them in the entire Daning Dynasty. Each of them played an important role and naturally could not be killed easily.

Even if you have to die, you should die in a meaningful place. Killing someone for no reason will make the death worthless.

Just like he treated Cao Wenzhen and Jin Longyu, Lu Changjing still kept them. If there were any life-threatening tasks in the future, they would naturally be left to them.

Moreover, Lu Changjing had another matter to hand over to these peace advocates. If he could handle it well, Lu Changjing would be able to reap considerable benefits. After taking down Gao Huijing, Lu Changjing's position in the court was further consolidated. At this moment, even if Ning Zhongyu suddenly came out of seclusion, it was still unknown whether he could defeat Lu Changjing in terms of strength or power.

The Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Justice, which are quite important among the six ministries, already belong to Lu Changjing. Nie Sha commands the thirty-six guards of the imperial city and has an army of 800,000.

Cao Wenzhen led the Jinyiwei and tens of thousands of eunuchs, and cooperated with Nie Sha to basically control the entire Baiyujing.

With Qingqiu Xiaoyu secretly protecting him, his clan, the Qingqiu Fox Clan, has also quietly arrived near Baiyujing. There are dozens of demon kings among them, which is also not a small force.

In just over a year, Lu Changjing has grown into a behemoth, and is becoming more and more confident in dealing with Ning Zhongyu and Ning Tianbao, father and son.

However, in order to capture Gao Huijing, Lu Changjing removed Zhang Zhaozhong's soul-picking technique. After all, he had already captured Zhang Zhaozhong's immediate superior Nie Sha, so there was no need to capture Zhang Zhaozhong alone.

Now, the six places for soul-picking have been filled, and the souls of Jin Longyu, Cao Wenzhen, Nie Sha, Gao Huijing, Qingqiu Xiaoyu and Zhao Yali have been picked up respectively.

Later, Lu Changjing planned to cancel Zhao Yali's soul-picking technique, freeing up the soul-picking spot and giving it to Zhao Jintian.

It would be such a waste to give it to Zhao Yali, it's not worth it, it would be better to give it to Zhao Jintian.

Such a soul-picking quota corresponds to one grandmaster, and Lu Changjing directly controls six grandmasters, which is basically close to half of the grandmasters of the Daning Dynasty.

No, if we include those grand masters hidden by the royal family, it is still a long way from half.

This situation is normal. No dynasty would put all of its grandmasters on display. It is possible that they would hold back a few.

Even so, Lu Changjing is almost invincible in Baiyujing. The only thing that worries him now is perhaps the Zhoutian Star Fighting Array.

This group of divine formations passed down by the ancestors of the Ning royal family is only a low-level group of divine formations, but its highest power can reach the level of a top-level group of divine formations.

Even though it is full of loopholes, who knows if it contains any unknown killer moves? It is said that even true gods and demons dare not ignore the Zhoutian Star Fighting Array.

Lu Changjing is only a high-level master now, so how can he not worry about this matter? Especially when it comes to the art of formations, he is a complete layman who knows nothing about it.

After some consideration, he decided to practice a secondary profession, and for this secondary profession he chose the art of formation.

It is not only for the subsequent response to the Zhoutian Star Fighting Array, but also for personal considerations.

After mastering the art of formations, you can then set up formations for yourself. Some spiritual formations often have unfathomable powers.

If you have the protection of such an array, it will be extremely convenient whether you are practicing in seclusion or doing something secret.

Problems arose during this practice!
