After careful consideration, Lu Changjing found a suitable soul-picking target. Zhang Zhaozhong, the leader of the Yulin Guard! A high-level master, he has already forged eight spiritual veins. Perhaps it won't be long before he can step into the ninth-level master level. With a set of high-level spiritual weapons, his family's martial arts and secret techniques have been cultivated to a very high level. With the spiritual weapons on his body, he can steadily fight against ordinary grand masters. Although he is loyal to the royal family, he is dissatisfied with Ning Zhongyu because of what he has done in recent years. However, this man has a scheming mind, but he did not show it. Although he did not join the peace party, he has a good relationship with the peace party. He is one of the 36 guards of the imperial city. There are more than 30,000 Yulin soldiers under his command. All of them are practitioners above the level of warriors. The worst is also a mid-level warrior, and most of them are high-level warriors and top-level warriors. He is one of the guards with the largest number of people among the 36 guards. He effectively protects the imperial city. It can be said that he has a large number of people. If he could be taken down, Lu Changjing's power in the palace would increase two or three times, plus some of the Jinwu Guards, Jinyi Guards, and some palace maids with good martial arts under Zhao Yali... Once they were mobilized, there would be tens of thousands of troops in an instant, which would not be a small force in Baiyujing.
If they could form a military formation, they would have the power to fight even against a grandmaster. After all, the grandmaster had not reached the level of an inhuman being. Facing a large number of warriors besieged, or the kind that formed a military formation, it would not be easy for them to defeat him. What's more, the military formation was led by many grandmasters, and with the help of the spiritual formation, its power was amazing. After determining the fourth enslavement target, Lu Changjing did not waste time, and it would be safer to take him down earlier. Soon, Cao Xiuyuan summoned Zhang Zhaozhong to the imperial study room on the pretext of asking about the internal affairs of the Yulin Guards. "Your Majesty, your humble servant Zhang Zhaozhong, greets you!" Seeing Lu Changjing, Zhang Zhaozhong immediately saluted. Lu Changjing's face darkened, and he walked towards Zhang Zhaozhong: "Commander Zhang, I heard that there is corruption within the Yulin Guard?" "Ah..." Zhang Zhaozhong's face changed when he heard Lu Changjing's cold words, and he wanted to deny it. "Soul shock!" But at this moment, Cao Xiuyuan, who was behind him, suddenly attacked, and the spiritual weapon combined with the spiritual technique to shock Zhang Zhaozhong's spiritual sea. "Eye shocking robbery!" "Soul shocking thorn!" "Soul picking technique!" ... Lu Changjing's attack followed closely, causing Zhang Zhaozhong's face to change suddenly, and his mind began to become dazed. But even in this situation, Zhang Zhaozhong still launched a top-level spiritual talisman to protect his spiritual sea. "Dang..." The soul picking technique returned in vain, and seeing that Zhang Zhaozhong was about to start resisting, Lu Changjing's face also changed.
"Zhang Zhaozhong, do you want to disobey me? Aren't you afraid that your entire family will be executed!" As he spoke, Zhang Zhaozhong, who originally wanted to fight back, suddenly changed his face and suddenly woke up. Taking this opportunity, Lu Changjing used the soul-picking technique again, and took away a wisp of Zhang Zhaozhong's three souls and seven spirits, turning him into his servant. Zhang Zhaozhong also realized at this moment that Lu Changjing did not want to kill him, but wanted to enslave him, but he was already a minister of His Majesty the Emperor, why did His Majesty treat him like this. With full of doubts, Zhang Zhaozhong bowed down: "Your Majesty, I don't know what crime I have committed, why do you treat me like this?" Compared with Cao Xiuyuan, Cai Gu and others, Zhang Zhaozhong is obviously much more important, and he is not a peace party, and can even be barely called a war party. In addition, his strength is unparalleled, and he almost turned the tables in this situation, which made Lu Changjing pay more attention to him. "Because you have more contact with the peace party, I don't believe you a little." Lu Changjing said directly without any nonsense. "Ah..." Zhang Zhaozhong was stunned again, looking at Lu Changjing in disbelief. If he remembered correctly, this emperor should be the leader of the peace party. Although this matter was not made public, anyone who knew the situation in the court knew that the emperor was pursuing a peace policy. It was also because of the support of his majesty that the peace party was able to cover the sky with one hand and make the Daning Dynasty a mess, almost becoming a laughing stock of the surrounding countries. Seeing Zhang Zhaozhong's unbelievable look, Lu Changjing explained: "The peace policy was left by the previous emperor, not by me. With the constraints of the ministers who entrusted the orphans, I can only pinch my nose and accept it." "But as the peace policy became more and more excessive, I was dissatisfied with it a long time ago, but some ministers who entrusted the orphans relied on their strength and forced me to continue the peace talks in the name of respecting filial piety, and even placed me under house arrest in the imperial study, so I was no longer considered a member of the peace party." "This..." Zhang Zhaozhong was dumbfounded and could hardly believe his ears. Cao Xiuyuan also came out to confirm: "Commander Zhang, although I am Cao Wenzheng's adopted son, the actions of Cao Wenzheng, Zhao Jintian and others are indeed rebellious, so I have drawn a line with them, but it has not been exposed yet." "Your Majesty is also worried that you have a good relationship with the peace faction, so he wants to take you down to ensure your loyalty and avoid exposing His Majesty's conspiracy to overthrow the peace faction." After an explanation, Zhang Zhaozhong finally understood what was going on. He had never thought that Cao Wenzheng and others were so bold and secretly coerced His Majesty. Although it was in the name of the late emperor, coercion is coercion. And the house arrest that was previously rumored turned out to be true. If it were not for the dissatisfaction of the court and the people, I am afraid that His Majesty would not be able to attend the court. When he thought of this, Zhang Zhaozhong also felt chilled in his heart. For no other reason than he knew very well how huge the peace faction was. Having gone through two dynasties, including the former emperor and the current emperor, some were still important ministers in the three dynasties, and the power they controlled was far more terrifying than ordinary people could imagine. Nowadays, even the emperor dares to put him under house arrest, which shows that he is unscrupulous. Moreover, the peace faction has a deep relationship with demons and monsters, which is also known to many people. Once the peace faction is offended and allowed to collude with monsters and monsters, the entire Daning Dynasty will be in danger. No wonder even His Majesty the Emperor is so cautious and needs to deal with the peacemakers quietly. After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Zhaozhong thought he understood the cause of the matter and no longer had any grudge against Lu Changjing for enslaving him. After all, facing this kind of situation, how could His Majesty the Emperor trust his ministers? Even Minister Tuogu would be disobedient, let alone them. "Your Majesty, don't worry. I will never be a peacemaker in the future. Whenever Your Majesty gives orders, I will do my best."
Zhang Zhaozhong prostrated himself in front of Lu Changjing and expressed his feelings to him respectfully. With Zhang Zhaozhong's surrender, it also meant that Lu Changjing had officially taken over the Yulin Guards, and had more than 30,000 elite men under his command. Zhang Zhaozhong also has enough control over the Yulin Guards, so he basically doesn't have to worry about what will happen.
