Chapter 179: Kill them all and steal them all

It was a pity that the Yellow Sand Dragon King did not have a storage ring, otherwise he would not have to search around in his treasure house. It took Lu Changjing more than half an hour to finally emptied all the dozens of treasure houses left by the Yellow Sand Dragon King.

According to King Huangsha Jiao's memory, a large part of the resources and treasures in these treasure houses came from the Daning Dynasty, and many of them were obtained from other forces by selling the common people of the Daning Dynasty.

As everyone knows, the Huangsha River basin often floods, resulting in the deaths of a large number of civilians. In this situation, it would be very convenient for the Huangsha Jiao King to make trouble and capture some civilians to sell them.

In addition, with the connivance of the peace faction, King Huangsha Jiao sells more than hundreds of thousands of common people every year. This is also the most important way for King Huangsha Jiao to make money.

It is precisely because of this that when the Daning court issued an extermination order to slay demons everywhere and prevent demons and monsters from hunting humans, the Yellow Sand Dragon King was so angry.

Blocking someone's path to wealth is like killing his parents. In the eyes of the Yellow Sand Dragon King, Lu Changjing's actions were blocking its path to wealth, so the Yellow Sand Dragon King naturally would not compromise.

So it started to stir up trouble, but it didn't expect that it would be killed by Lu Changjing in the second just as it started to make trouble, leaving behind only a corpse containing rich energy.

It took twelve hours, or one day, to hunt down the Yellow Sand Dragon King, plunder its resources and treasures, and clean up the monsters in the Yellow Sand River.

Lu Changjing then returned to Baiyujing with a full load of harvest, and sent a message to the Jinyiwei, saying that he had asked other countries' masters who were good at water to kill the Yellow Sand Dragon King, and there would be no need to worry about the Yellow Sand Dragon King causing trouble in the Huangsha River in the future.

After receiving this news, if it had not been sent by His Majesty the Emperor himself, Cai Gu, Lei Zhengfei and others would have thought that someone was playing a joke on them.

Even though it was confirmed that the news was from Emperor Daning, everyone still found it hard to believe.

"Is this true? It's only been a short time and the Yellow Sand Dragon King has been killed. We didn't notice anything. Is this a joke?"

"How could His Majesty the Emperor joke with us? This must be true. How about we investigate quietly to see if the Yellow Sand Dragon King is still there?"

"It seems a little impossible. The Yellow Sand Dragon King has been wreaking havoc on the Yellow Sand River for nearly two hundred years, and no one has been able to do anything about it. Yesterday, it was still causing trouble near Caishi Mountain, so how could it be killed today?"

"I just received news that many demons and monsters that often cause trouble in Huangsha River have disappeared, as if they had vanished. Could this be true?"

……

When the pieces of information came together, the Embroidered Uniform Guard, the Ministry of War, the Demon Suppression Bureau... were all stunned, especially after learning that His Majesty the Emperor had already processed the materials of many monsters and demons in the Huangsha River Basin and prepared to transport them to the Demon Suppression Bureau to exchange for Demon Suppression Values, no one doubted the news anymore.

"I really didn't expect that Emperor Daning had such a trump card. When the Yellow Sand Dragon King was in the water, he was almost invincible among gods and demons. I didn't expect that he was killed silently by Emperor Daning. Which grandmaster did he invite?"

"It must be someone who is particularly good at water and very strong, otherwise it wouldn't be so fast and there wouldn't even be any noise."

"As expected of the former Divine Dynasty, even though it is in danger, it still has such a profound foundation. It seems that we have to look at the Daning Royal Family differently in the future."

"Have you forgotten the previous battle in the palace? More than 200 demon kings, devil kings, ghost kings and monster kings above level 10 were like entering a grave once they entered the palace. There was no news of them since then. This shows the strength of the Daning royal family."

……

The death of the Yellow Sand Dragon King made Lu Changjing more mysterious. Not to mention the Demon Suppression Division, the Imperial Guards, and the Ministry of War, even Cao Wenzheng and Nie Sha, who knew Lu Changjing's background, respected him several times more. I thought this guy was just a country bumpkin from a small place, but I didn't expect him to have such a hidden card. Perhaps his recovery and rapid progress were also related to this incident.

If they had known that Lu Changjing was hiding so deeply, they would never have arrested Lu Changjing and made him a substitute for Ning Zhongyu.

Now, it seems that the substitute is about to replace the original body. When Ning Zhongyu comes out of seclusion and sees the current situation, I wonder what he will feel.

Cao Wenzhen, in particular, sighed repeatedly after accidentally discovering that a concubine had a close relationship with Lu Changjing, secretly thinking that Ning Zhongyu was the right person to choose as a substitute.

Lu Changjing could not only help him handle state affairs and deal with the civil and military officials in the court, but also help him pamper the concubines in the harem, and maybe even help him give birth to some princes and princesses in the future.

When Ning Zhongyu knows all this, he will definitely be very surprised.

Cao Wenzhen smiled bitterly, and was then slapped away by Lu Changjing again. Although he wanted to resist, when he thought of his soul being held in his hand, he still forced a smile and thanked Lu Changjing for his teachings.

If I had known that this guy would hold a grudge so well, I should have beaten him more severely, leaving him no chance to recover, or I should have stopped beating him all the time.

Now, things change over time, and it’s now me who is often hit.

"Your Majesty, please watch me. I will get out of here right now."

Cao Wen Zheng pretended to be happy and rolled out, trying not to show any dissatisfaction as much as possible to avoid being beaten again.

But what he didn't know was that no matter how well he hid, he couldn't resist the soul-stealing technique, so all these actions were useless.

Lu Changjing, who can steal his ideas at any time, knows clearly whether he is being loyal enough and then teaches him a lesson.

After beating Cao Wenzhen up, Lu Changjing quietly left the imperial study through the small hole in the skylight and came to the nearby Hongrun Hall, where Cai Xiuer lived and practiced.

When Lu Changjing sneaked into her residence, Cai Xiuer was still in seclusion practicing hard. It was not until she was held in Lu Changjing's arms that she realized that the emperor had come. She hurriedly saluted, but Lu Changjing blocked her cherry lips.

Because she was in seclusion in a secret room in her home, Cai Xiuer wore very little, only a thin singlet, similar to the thin pajamas she wore in her previous life. It was so soft and comfortable to hold in the arms, making people unable to stop.

Only when Cai Xiuer was made as soft as her pajamas did Lu Changjing let her go and get down to business.

"Xiu'er, look at what this is."

Lu Changjing smiled slightly and threw the head of the Yellow Sand Dragon King in front of Cai Xiuer.

Cai Xiuer was slightly startled when she saw the head that suddenly appeared. Then her whole body was shocked. She looked at the Yellow Sand Dragon King's head in disbelief and exclaimed, "This... is this the Yellow Sand Dragon King's head?"
