Starting from the imperial palace guards, his clones spread all over the world

#47 - I have a solution

Zhao Bao remembered Liang Jin reminding him that all martial artists hoped their secret techniques were unique in the world.

Only by using martial arts that others knew nothing about could they gain the upper hand in a duel.

Liang Jin had also said to be careful of Li Dafu, who might harm Zhao Bao to maintain the uniqueness of the "Bone-Melting Palm".

Zhao Bao hadn't taken it too seriously at the time.

Because before offering the treasure and recognizing Li Dafu as his godfather, he had been careful and specifically chose Li Dafu, who had the best reputation in the palace and was recognized as a great philanthropist.

But he had enormous power and could have his lackeys do it for him at any time.

For example, in the Zongwu Mansion's harsh training, deaths were common.

Cao Xian, as the chief instructor in charge of training, naturally knew some inside information, so he kindly gave a hint.

If it was really…

Zhao Bao didn't dare to think further.

He was already frightened, and his pale lips were trembling when he spoke:

"Brother Jin… I… I…"

"I'm afraid… I have no way out!"

Zhao Bao was just a ninth-rank martial artist, a small eunuch at the bottom of the Zongwu Mansion.

Li Dafu was in a high position and his martial arts were terrifyingly high. If he wanted Zhao Bao to die, it would be easier than crushing an ant.

Even if Zhao Bao struggled and resisted, it would only be in vain.

He simply had no ability to deal with Li Dafu's malice.

All he had was despair and fear.

At this moment, Zhao Bao felt icy cold all over, as if he had returned to the night when he wanted to end his life.

This made him feel sad and he couldn't help but cry:

"So… all my efforts are so ridiculous…"

"Brother Jin, what is the meaning of life for a humble little character like me, who can be trampled on by everyone?"

Zhao Bao originally thought that as long as he was willing to endure hardship, he would become a superior person sooner or later.

He desperately practiced martial arts, trained hard, and tried his best to please his superiors.

He had already made progress, became a martial artist, and entered the Zongwu Mansion.

But now he suddenly realized that all his efforts were in vain.

Just like the livestock raised by those in high positions, their fate was always in the hands of others.

When he realized that his life was in danger, let alone resisting, he couldn't even escape.

This despair made Zhao Bao's emotions collapse again.

Liang Jin pressed Zhao Bao's shoulder and said in a deep voice:

"Don't cry all day long. I believe there is always a way out."

"Since that Cao Xian has a good impression of you, he may be able to protect you."

Liang Jin couldn't directly help Zhao Bao now.

Not to mention that he was just an ordinary soldier, even if he were promoted eight levels in the Imperial Guards, he couldn't interfere in the affairs of the Zongwu Mansion.

All he could do was give Zhao Bao ideas.

Since Cao Xian could directly call Li Dafu by name, he would not be afraid of Li Dafu's power.

Zhao Bao's mind was filled with despair, and he shook his head sadly:

"Li Dafu is in a high position and has great power. Cao Xian will not protect me for just a good impression."

"Even if I violate my promise again and send the "Bone-Melting Palm" secret technique to Cao Xian, it will be useless."

"If Cao Xian accepts the secret technique, he will completely offend Li Dafu. And Li Dafu will have even more reason to directly harm me."

"No matter what, I will not escape death."

Liang Jin believed that he could find a way out for Zhao Bao.

He pondered:

"Everyone has desires and needs, and Cao Xian is no exception."

"Zhao Bao, think carefully, what does Cao Xian lack most now?"

Seeing that Liang Jin hadn't given up on him, Zhao Bao could only recall.

He thought:

"Cao Xian is full of injuries and illnesses, and he often suffers from relapses. Health should be what he wants."

"Also, he is old, and judging from his condition, he probably won't live for more than two years. Longevity should also be what he wants."

Speaking of this, Zhao Bao shook his head sadly.

Whether it was health or longevity, he couldn't give it to Cao Xian.

With Cao Xian's status, he could find better famous doctors and better medicine.

But he was still like this, obviously there was nothing he could do.

Liang Jin had an idea:

"Perhaps, I have a way."

Zhao Bao was slightly surprised and was about to ask again.

At this time.

A crisp female voice sounded:

"Brother Jin!"

"Brother Bao is also here!"

The two turned their heads and saw a graceful figure walking slowly.

It was Su Lian.

When Liang Jin saw Su Lian's radiant expression, he knew that she had been doing well recently.

"Do you know? Now I have a great reputation in our Laundry Bureau!"

"Even Chief Steward Hu praised me yesterday!"

"Now, no one in the Laundry Bureau dares to bully me."

As soon as Su Lian approached, she said excitedly.

The two were happy for Su Lian when they heard that she was doing well.

What surprised them was that Chief Steward Hu had a high position among the female officials and was well-known in the harem. How could she praise a low-level palace maid like Su Lian?

Zhao Bao asked directly:

"Xiao Lian, what's going on with Chief Steward Hu?"

Seeing the two were curious, Su Lian said proudly:

"What's wrong, curious?"

"To tell you the truth, even I find it incredible."

Immediately, she told the two everything that happened yesterday.

The two were also greatly sighed after hearing this. The hierarchy in this palace was the strictest, which led to struggles everywhere.

Even in a small Laundry Bureau, even if Su Lian didn't provoke others, there were always people who wanted to plot against her.

It really responded to that sentence: small temple, big wind; shallow pond, many turtles.

In the end, Su Lian looked at Liang Jin embarrassedly:

"Brother Jin, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you again this time."

"If it were someone else, I could refuse."

"But this time, Chief Steward Hu hinted, and my aunt repeatedly told me, I really can't refuse."

Liang Jin didn't mind this.

Zhao Bao and Su Lian had also done their best to help Liang Jin before.

Liang Jin now had more ability, and he would naturally help them.

Immediately, Liang Jin said:

"Xiao Lian, I can't completely do it for you this time."

"You have to write a letter yourself and ask someone in the palace to take it to the Lu Family Village in Ju Niu Township to a person named Lu Qiannan, just say she is your distant cousin."

"Everything has to be done through your hands."

Liang Jin could help Su Lian completely before, because he was only helping a small female official in the Laundry Bureau.

But this time, he was helping a female official with a very high position, and this female official had a lot of power outside the palace.

Liang Jin didn't want attention to be drawn to himself.

"As long as the letter arrives, the matter can be resolved."

"But what I'm worried about is that if Chief Steward Hu really recommends you to go to some important place, I'm afraid it won't be a good thing for you."

"Helping her with a small favor is okay, but it's best to refuse her recommendation."

Liang Jin said seriously.

Su Lian was simple-minded and wouldn't cause any big mistakes in the Laundry Bureau.

But if she really went to other places in the palace, such as the Shangyi Bureau led by Chief Steward Hu, it would be hard to say.

If she made a mistake, she would inevitably be severely punished.

If she made a big mistake, she might lose her head!

In Liang Jin's previous life, there were emperors who relied on the power in their hands to not treat palace maids as human beings, and were cruel and tyrannical to palace maids. It is said that they had beaten more than two hundred palace maids to death.

In the end, the palace maids couldn't bear it anymore and decided that even if they died, they would drag the emperor to hell with them, which led to the Renyin Palace Coup.

There are even unverified historical records that another tyrannical emperor slaughtered as many as 2,800 palace maids at one time.

And the number of palace maids who died due to burial, palace struggles, abuse, and other reasons is even more countless.

It can be said that the fate of the palace maids was completely controlled by the imperial power. They lived like livestock and were ravaged by the royal family, and they had no burial place after death.

And now.

The emperor of the Daqian Dynasty was even more昏庸无道, and the palace struggles became more intense.

If Su Lian went to a place she shouldn't go, she would only bring disaster.

Su Lian said in surprise:

"Brother Jin, why is what you said the same as what my aunt said?"

"My aunt also said that I am not suitable for climbing up, I am only suitable for staying in the Laundry Bureau."

"Since you all said so, then I will listen to you."

Su Lian didn't have any ambition, so she didn't care whether she could be promoted.

Zhao Bao also added:

"I have the same idea as Brother Jin!"

Zhao Bao's situation was more dangerous than Su Lian's, and he had seen more palace tragedies.

So he agreed with Liang Jin's words.
