I don't want to do it, but he has a health bar

Chapter 96 Counting the spoils (Subscription required)
Facing Lu Jing's request, Hu Butang shook his head helplessly: "You kid. Okay!"

Lu Jing bowed and thanked him: "Thank you, Mr. Minister!"

Hu Butang waved his hand and said, "I gave you so many privileges because I hope you can do a good job. I only know that you destroyed the gathering on Wangfeng Island, but I don't know what else you did."

As he spoke, the provincial governor sat in the ruins waiting for Lu Jing to report to him.

Lu Jing immediately told all about his actions after he dispatched troops to Haiyan County.

The salt fields in Haiyan County were conquered and Nu Nu was executed.

In addition, a crocodile demon was blown in the head by Lu Jing's punch, and a mermaid was also killed by Lu Jing.

Apart from that, it is unclear which little monsters were affected.

Hu Butang nodded after listening to it: "Among the seven sea monsters in the East China Sea, you have eliminated three of them. With this battle in the Governor's Mansion, the East China Sea will probably be much more peaceful."

Of course, there are more than just monsters in the East China Sea.

There are also Japanese pirates and pirates.

The Japanese pirates must be completely wiped out.

But the pirates...

The pirates along the southeast coast often have their own code of conduct, especially Zheng Longwang and Shi Hainu. The pirates they lead have strict military discipline and do not kill innocent people indiscriminately. They are all targets that can be negotiated and won over.

After experiencing the last turmoil in the court, Hu Butang, who was good at scheming and cunning, has learned his lesson.

He certainly would not allow the Japanese pirates to wreak havoc along the coast and harm the people.

But he does need to "keep the enemy to protect himself", otherwise he will end up being cooked after the cunning rabbit dies.

He had already experienced this kind of thing once, so he didn't want to go through it again, nor did he think that anyone in the court would be kind enough to help him if he went through it again.

So, either he will join the cabinet in the future!
Otherwise, the pirates in the southeast will still exist.

However, this group of pirates must exist under his management. Not only do they have to pay taxes, but they are also not allowed to infringe on the coastal residents in any way.

So Hu Butang said to Lu Jing: "Next, you will continue to be responsible for eliminating the evil spirits along the southeast coast. There are also wandering warriors, ninjas and other evil spirits from the Japanese islands on many islands in the East China Sea, and they must also be cleared out. But don't move, pirates. I have another use for you."

In recent years, the pirates along the southeast coast have traveled across the seven seas at the risk of death, and have accumulated countless wealth!
It is time to fleece them and fill the treasury of Dayu.

Among these pirates, it would be easy to win over those who can serve under your command.

If they want to go all the way with the former cabinet ministers, the Xu family of Huating, then there is no need for them to continue to exist.

This is the officialdom.

Faced with such straightforward instructions, Lu Jing of course obeyed.

Soon, a golden light fell from the sky, and Zhang Jingting brought Pei Guanyin and Song Yuheng back to the Governor's Mansion which had turned into ruins. Also coming with them was the commander-in-chief of Hu Butang's faction, who was holding an official from the Capital Commandery in his hand.

When Song Yuheng saw the traces of battle that affected an area of ​​several miles, he was shocked.

Lu Jing immediately went over and asked with concern: "Song Tou'er, are you okay?"

Song Yuheng was immediately delighted and said, "They are all minor problems."

At this moment, she was covered in dust and her official hat had fallen off somewhere. Her body was covered in blood, some from the enemies and some from her own.

Pei Guanyin didn't want to be fed up with dog food. He came to Hu Butang, bowed and said, "I destroyed a monster nest under the leadership of Lieutenant General Lu, but unfortunately I couldn't catch up with the monster-killing operation on Wangfeng Island. But afterwards, I and my colleague Song Yuheng rushed to the camp outside the city and happened to participate in the battle to relieve the siege."

At this time, the commander-in-chief of Hubutang laughed and said, "These two are very smart. They took advantage of the chaos to pull the soldiers and horses of the camp to create a huge smoke and dust scene near the camp, which scared many monsters and made them want to retreat. That's why we were able to hold on until Taoist Zhang came to support us."

A celestial-level boss is enough to decide the outcome of a war involving tens of thousands of people.

After saying that, the deputy commander of the commanding general kicked out the official of the commanding general who was tied up and said, "My Lord, this is the beast who leaked the secrets of the camp and colluded with the monsters!"

Hu Butang smiled, but his true colors were finally revealed.

Anyway, everyone here is one of ours, so Hu Butang looked at the man with a smile and asked, "Raise your head and answer!"

The officer of the Military Command immediately raised his head, his eyes full of disdain. Hu thought for a moment and said, "I recognize you, Wang Chunjiang, the officer of the Military Command. You are confused."

Wang Chunjiang laughed and said, "I will take full responsibility for what I did!"

Hu Bu Tang laughed, "Can you afford it? Having secret dealings with evil spirits is a crime punishable by execution of the entire family. Joining forces with evil spirits to attack the government camp is a crime punishable by the extermination of three clans! But how can you be so brave with your little experience? Tell me who is behind you, and I can protect your wife and children."

Wang Chunjiang remained unmoved.

Hu Butang smiled and said, "Detain them first, then go find all the family members of Wang Jinli, no matter where they are hiding, and arrest them together."

The commander-in-chief said: "Yes!"

After finishing his official duties, Hu Butang was also tired.

He immediately grabbed Lu Jing and said, "Commander Lu, I have no choice but to be your neighbor for a few days."

The Governor's Mansion has collapsed, so Hu Butang certainly cannot stay here any longer.

He also has to stay in the inn.

……

After returning to the inn, Hu Butang chatted with Lu Jing for a while before letting him leave.

After finally returning to the room, Lu Jing took out several things that were blocked by layers of Yuanci Zhengang from the storage ring.

The pipa, the precious umbrella, the precious sword, the strange beasts and the purple gold wheel obtained from the goddess of transformation.

This purple gold wheel is very magical.

Not only can it transform all visible and invisible colors into "empty colors", it can also deprive the five senses.

If Lu Jing didn't have a cheat, the treasure of the Goddess of Transformation alone would be enough to make Lu Jing confess.

Lu Jing was also jealous of the weapons of the other four heavenly kings.

Lu Jing has used several weapons so far, but most of them have been broken by him.

Especially, he chopped off a relic of Song Tou'er's father... Even the iron gloves of Shan Jun's son were damaged in Wuming Mountain.

Therefore, until now, Lu Jing has been fighting with only his fists, unless he is bullying a weak opponent.

You know what, fists are still very useful!

Just relying on fists won't do the trick.

Especially when he encounters those strange people who come to fry fish, Lu Jing also hopes that he can have a powerful treasure with him.

This way, we'll be more protected if we get beaten up by a group of people, right?

After collecting the treasures of the Four Heavenly Kings, Lu Jing dragged the huge purple-gold wheel to inspect it. The material of the purple-gold wheel was unknown. It looked like metal, but it felt as smooth as jade when touched.

There are inscribed with incomprehensible golden inscriptions on it.

Even these inscriptions seem to come alive. If you stare at them for a long time, you may even feel that they are dancing.

Lu Jing calmed his mind and immediately his spiritual consciousness penetrated into the purple gold wheel.

The spiritual consciousness quickly penetrated into the purple gold wheel, and then a brilliant golden light and a luxurious and magnificent palace suddenly appeared in the spiritual consciousness.

In the center of the palace, there is a huge bed inlaid with gold and jade.

The bed was surrounded by gauze curtains, and the breeze was fragrant.

As the veil was blown away by a gust of wind, the naked and graceful figure of the goddess was revealed.

This celestial being was actually the celestial being that Lu Jing had defeated before!

But what Lu Jing had blew up before was just a body condensed by a secret method, not his real body. Also, the graceful celestial being in the purple-gold wheel was not his real body as a celestial being.
