Liang Jin grabbed Zhao Bao's swaying shoulders: "Tell me, what exactly happened?"

Zhao Bao cried as he recounted his experiences.

It turned out that in recent days, Zhao Bao had been subjected to bullying by his master and other eunuchs.

However, he did not lose heart because of this, but seized the time to practice the "Bone-Melting Palm", hoping that one day he could become a martial artist.

If a eunuch could become a martial artist, he could report to the Zongwu Mansion in the palace.

At that time, not only would his status be improved and his treatment better, but he would even have more opportunities.

This was also Zhao Bao's biggest goal!

However…

Zhao Bao practiced hard for many days, but his Qi Sea Dantian could not generate any power.

That is to say, his innate aptitude and physique did not meet the conditions to become a martial artist.

He would never become a martial artist in his entire life!

This also meant that Zhao Bao's cherished goal was completely cut off.

And he would likely be bullied and abused by his master forever, with no hope of escape.

It was precisely because of this that Zhao Bao's heart was as dead ashes, to the point that he wanted to entrust everything to Liang Jin before taking his own life.

"Brother Jin, tell me, why me of all people?"

"It's bad enough that I'm a eunuch, why must I also be a useless person who can't practice martial arts?"

"If I live this life, being bullied my whole life, what's the point of me living?"

Zhao Bao became agitated.

His thoughts of suicide became even stronger.

After understanding the reason, Liang Jin couldn't help but laugh: "I thought it was something serious, it turns out it's just this little problem."

Zhao Bao's face showed anger upon hearing this.

How could this be a small problem?

But he then shook his head dejectedly: "Forget it, Brother Jin, you won't understand my situation…"

He wanted to leave in disappointment.

But Liang Jin stopped him: "It's not that I don't understand you, but that I say I can help you solve the problem of not being able to practice martial arts."

Zhao Bao's face was full of doubt.

He was a born waste, how could this kind of thing be solved?

Liang Jin turned his wrist, and a pill appeared in his palm.

It was the [Tendon Strengthening Pill] he had taken from the item bar.

The [Tendon Strengthening Pill] could change one's aptitude and physique, allowing those who could not practice martial arts to become martial artists.

He had already saved this pill for Zhao Bao and Su Lian, but unfortunately, he hadn't seen them for a long time.

Now that he had met him, it was just right.

"Come, eat it."

Without explanation, Liang Jin directly stuffed the Tendon Strengthening Pill into Zhao Bao's mouth.

This caused Zhao Bao to choke until his face turned red, and he only recovered after drinking two mouthfuls of water.

"It might hurt a little next, endure it, and don't shout out and attract attention."

"After that, you will be a true martial artist."

He remembered Liang Jin's instructions and quickly stuffed his palm into his mouth and bit down firmly to prevent himself from shouting out.

The severe pain intensified.

Zhao Bao was in so much pain that his whole body was soaked with sweat, and his palm was bitten through by his teeth, with blood flowing out.

Later, he was even in so much pain that he couldn't stand and could only squat on the ground.

Fortunately, the pain came quickly and went quickly.

As the severe pain receded like a tide, Zhao Bao only felt an unspeakable ease and comfort all over his body.

Liang Jin's voice sounded: "According to the method in the secret manual, feel your Qi Sea Dantian."

Zhao Bao's heart moved, and he quickly did so.

After a while, he stood up in disbelief, with a look of surprise: "Brother Jin, I feel it, I—"

Liang Jin waved his hand to interrupt: "It's good that you know, don't make a loud noise, lest you be punished."

Zhao Bao nodded quickly.

His heart was filled with infinite excitement.

He originally thought that tonight would be the end of his life, but who would have thought that he would have hope again!

And it was Liang Jin who brought him hope.

Zhao Bao had never heard of such a magical medicine.

Although he didn't know its value, it was undoubtedly extremely precious.

But Liang Jin gave him precious treasures one after another, this kindness was simply higher than the sky.

Zhao Bao said emotionally: "Brother Jin, I—"

Liang Jin waved his hand again to interrupt: "I said, we are all our own people, don't say thank you."

"Stop sweeping the floor, go back and have a good rest, and go to the Zongwu Mansion early tomorrow morning to report, and you won't have to suffer your master's anger anymore."

Zhao Bao wiped away the tears that welled up again.

He lost all his family members at the age of ten, and he couldn't survive on his own, so he entered the palace as a eunuch.

Now that six years have passed, he has long forgotten the feeling of having relatives.

Fortunately, there were still Su Lian and Liang Jin in the palace.

Zhao Bao always felt that his life was miserable, and the only fortunate thing was meeting these two people.

They were his relatives.

Now it proves that his feeling was right.

Liang Jin continued to instruct: "Remember to consolidate well after you go back, the process of practicing martial arts in the future will be very hard, you must not slack off."

"The most important thing is, don't give up your life easily."

"If there is any difficulty you can't get through, be sure to tell me in time."

The latest and most complete novels are on Liu Jiu Shu Ba!

Zhao Bao nodded vigorously.

He only felt that if he had an older brother, he would probably be like Liang Jin.

"Brother Jin, I know."

Zhao Bao agreed and turned to leave.

When he came, he was distraught; when he left, he was light-footed and full of energy.

Liang Jin felt relieved when he saw him like this.

… … … … … …

… … … … … …

Qingzhou.

Taiyang County.

Due to the fierce epidemic, the county seat of Taiyang County has been closed for almost a month.

Originally, it was thought that this would prevent the plague from spreading into the county seat, but unexpectedly, this method ultimately failed.

The plague raged in the city, and many people died every day.

Even at this late hour, one could still hear the wailing and weeping coming from thousands of households in the city.

Not only the common people were sleepless.

So was the County Magistrate.

In the study of the County Government Office, the lights were still on.

County Magistrate Qiu Zhuo sat at his desk, looking at the official documents, his brow furrowed.

The plague was raging and had spread to several counties in Qingzhou.

And it was showing a trend of intensifying.

However, the Prefecture had not yet issued a clear decree, causing the counties to only be able to save themselves, and if this continued, the entire Qingzhou would probably be completely lost before long.

And the biggest problem was that they had not been able to find a way to cure the epidemic.

The only effective method was small-scale isolation.

Since the epidemic raged, Qiu Zhuo had closed the Yamen, and all officials were in the Yamen and could not leave.

This allowed everyone in the County Yamen, including Qiu Zhuo, to avoid being infected with the epidemic, thus ensuring that the leadership of Taiyang County was intact.

But Qiu Zhuo's family members had already contracted the disease.

This caused Qiu Zhuo to worry about public affairs every day, and he also had to worry about private affairs.

In the past month, Qiu Zhuo had lost a lot of weight.

"Dong dong dong!"

A knock on the door sounded.

"County Magistrate, it's me."

A voice sounded outside the door.

Qiu Zhuo didn't even raise his head and replied: "Secretary Zhang, come in."

The study door opened, and a shrewd man with a goatee walked in.

He was Qiu Zhuo's staff advisor, Zhang You.

Zhang You was concise in his work, he came to Qiu Zhuo and reported directly: "County Magistrate, I have received news."

"In Ju Niu Township, there is a person who claims to be a Great Virtuous Teacher, who can use the power of ghosts and gods to cure diseases with talisman water and cure the plague."

Qiu Zhuo was still looking at the official documents.

He didn't care about this kind of trivial matter, but showed disdain and asked: "Talisman water to cure diseases? Secretary Zhang, do you believe it?"

Zhang You smiled and shook his head.

He didn't believe in ghosts and gods either.

Qiu Zhuo picked up a brush and wrote on the official document, and said lightly: "Every time there is a major disaster, there are always demon people who use the name of ghosts and gods to fool the foolish people, in order to collect money."

"Order the Ju Niu Township Li Zheng to bring the Township Braves and arrest the demon person and send him to the County Yamen for detention, and confiscate his property for public use."

Now that a major disaster is imminent, the silver in the Yamen treasury is being spent like water, and it is about to be exhausted.

If the demon person can really collect money from the people, then confiscating the demon person's property can just be used to replenish the treasury for disaster relief.

Otherwise, rashly increasing taxes may cause public resentment.

And those rich people in the city are not easy to touch.

But Zhang You stood still and replied: "County Magistrate, I'm afraid that demon person… is not easy to arrest."
