Chapter 95 The real borer in Daning

Under normal circumstances, Jin Longyu would never give his spiritual defense weapon to others.

But the one who asked him for it was the emperor. As a minister, shouldn't he allow the emperor to use his Soul-Fixing Bell? It's not like he's leaving and won't give it to him.

And if the emperor insisted on asking for his Soul-Fixing Bell, he would have to give it up reluctantly.

Jin Longyu was not worried that the test would damage his Soul-Fixing Bell. The emperor would not be so inconsiderate.

Although he had never experienced such a thing before, he did not have much doubt, and he would not think that the emperor would deal with him.

Even if he really dealt with him, he was a great master, and how could the emperor, a mid-level master, get away with it.

As for Cao Xiuyuan, he was also a mid-level master, and was not taken seriously by Jin Longyu at all.

"What, Jin Qing, are you afraid that I won't return it after using it?"

Lu Changjing's words made Jin Longyu no longer hesitate. He quickly took down the strongest spiritual defense spiritual weapon, the Dinghun Bell, and handed it to Lu Changjing respectfully: "How dare I, Your Majesty, please embarrass me."

A touch of joy flashed across the depths of his pupils. Lu Changjing took the Dinghun Bell with a smile and took out the Jingshen Thorn by the way, as if to test the power of the Jingshen Thorn.

Seeing the Jingshen Thorn in Lu Changjing's hand, Jin Longyu felt a little familiar and looked at it carefully.

"Shock the soul!"

At this moment, Cao Xiuyuan, who was behind him, suddenly made a move, causing Jin Longyu, who did not have the Dinghun Bell to protect his spiritual sea, to change his face, but he still ejected a top-level spiritual talisman in time to protect his spiritual sea.

"Jingshen Thorn!"

"Jingmu Jie!"

...

At this moment, Lu Changjing's Jingshen Thorn cooperated with Jingmu Jie to defeat the top-level spiritual talisman with great force, and at the same time, Lu Changjing's roar sounded in the imperial study.

"Jin Longyu, do you want to be executed?"

Jin Longyu, who was about to take out the next trump card, was shocked and hesitated for a moment. In just a moment, it was enough for the soul-picking technique to take away a wisp of his three souls and seven spirits.

"This...this..."

Jin Longyu quickly understood what happened and looked at Lu Changjing in disbelief. He was shocked by the ambush by His Majesty the Emperor, and at the same time, he was shocked by the tyrannical strength displayed by Lu Changjing.

Such a powerful strength is probably comparable to that of a grandmaster. Isn't His Majesty the Emperor only a mid-level grandmaster? How could he have such strength?

What's going on?

Looking at Jin Longyu with a stunned face, Lu Changjing smiled faintly and said, "Commander Cao, tell Minister Jin what's going on."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Cao Xiuyuan immediately pulled Jin Longyu aside and told Jin Longyu about the house arrest and coercion of His Majesty the Emperor by Cao Wenzheng, Zhao Jintian and others.

After hearing what Cao Xiuyuan said, Jin Longyu couldn't help but exclaimed repeatedly.

"What? Cao Wen Zheng dared to put His Majesty under house arrest. That sissy guy could do such a bold thing."

"You actually saw Cao Wen Zheng teach His Majesty a lesson with your own eyes. Even if he is His Majesty's trusted minister, he can't be so rampant."

"It turns out that His Majesty has no decision-making power over most of the memorials in the court. Instead, they are decided by Cao Wen Zheng, Zhao Jintian and others. No wonder Zhao Jintian's brother was promoted to the governor of Yinshan County before."

...

After understanding the cause of the matter, Jin Longyu was greatly shocked. He didn't expect that Cao Wen Zheng, Zhao Jintian and others, who were also important ministers of the peace party, would do such lawless things.

Seeing that Jin Longyu still didn't believe it, Lu Changjing took the jade seal next to the dragon case and threw it over: "If you don't believe it, you can check whether this jade seal is real or fake."

"This... I am terrified." Jin Longyu took the jade seal, carefully examined it for a while, and soon turned pale with horror: "How can your majesty's jade seal be fake? Where did the real jade seal go?"

Lu Changjing smiled bitterly: "Where else can it go? Of course it went to Cao Wenzheng."

"Cao Wenzheng is too bold. Isn't he afraid that the late emperor will come out of retreat and grind him to ashes?" Jin Longyu no longer had any doubts, but the next sentence caused an uproar.

This sentence made Lu Changjing stunned, and he hurriedly used the soul stealing technique to explore the reason. Fortunately, without the protection of the soul-fixing bell, Jin Longyu, who was only at the level of a third-level master of the soul-refining cultivation, could not resist his theft at all.

Soon Lu Changjing was stunned by the truth. He didn't expect that there was such an inside story about the death of the late emperor.

Cao Xiuyuan beside him also looked confused, somewhat confused about what Jin Longyu meant by this sentence, and it was obvious that he did not know the truth of this matter.

Lu Changjing hurriedly asked him to leave and closed the door of the imperial study.

Jin Longyu also realized something at this time, and bowed and apologized with some annoyance: "I accidentally leaked the secret of the late emperor, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

According to Jin Longyu's memory, the old emperor Ning Tianbao was not dead at all, but had been hiding in the Xiaoling Mausoleum of Daning to practice hard in seclusion, trying to break through the shackles of gods and demons.

It turned out that a few years ago, the old emperor had reached the perfection of the Grand Master and had the opportunity to break through to a higher level. At the same time, he began to quietly collect divine objects to assist in breaking through.

But he did not expect that this matter would be noticed by some surrounding dynasties and began to destroy it. They did not want the Daning Dynasty to have another emperor of gods and demons.

Even some divine dynasties did not want to see this happen.

Faced with such a crisis, Ning Tianbao decisively faked his death and escaped, which saved him.

After this lesson, Ning Tianbao acted more cautiously. Except for Ning Zhongyu, Cao Wenzhen, Jin Longyu... a few people who knew about this matter, no one else knew about it.

Even the important ministers of the peace faction, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and the Minister of Rites did not know about this matter. As far as Jin Longyu knew, only Ning Zhongyu, Cao Wenzheng and him knew about this matter.

Ning Zhongyu was the son of the old emperor, so it was reasonable for him to know about this matter.

Cao Wenzheng was mainly responsible for negotiating with demons and ghosts, and obtaining various magical objects for the old emperor, so he knew about this matter.

The reason why Jin Longyu knew about it was naturally because he was the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, in charge of the Daning National Treasury. The old emperor needed to raise resources and treasures through him in exchange for what he wanted.

As for whether there were other people who knew about it, according to Cao Wenzheng, there might be old monsters left over from the royal family in the Xiaoling Mausoleum of Daning who knew about it and secretly protected Ning Tianfa.

Others did not know. The reason why the Daning National Treasury and the Royal Secret Treasury became empty was mainly because they prepared relevant magical objects and resources for the old emperor, which was why they were all used up.

It turns out that the real termite of the Daning Dynasty is not Ning Zhongyu, but the old emperor Ning Tianbao.

Ning Zhongyu can only be regarded as a small termite at most, while the big termite is Ning Tianbao.

After learning the truth, Lu Changjing was also dumbfounded. He did not expect that there was such an inside story.
