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

Chapter 16: Difficult to Catch
Liang Jin grabbed Zhao Bao's shaking shoulders:
"Tell me what happened."

Zhao Bao cried and told his story.

It turned out that Zhao Bao had been bullied by his master and other eunuchs these days.

But he did not get discouraged. Instead, he took the time to practice the "Bone-Dissolving Palm", hoping to become a warrior one day.

If a eunuch can become a warrior, he can report to the Zongwu Mansion in the palace.

At that time, not only will your status be improved and your treatment better, but you will also have more opportunities.

This is also Zhao Bao’s biggest goal!

however……

Zhao Bao practiced hard for many days, but his Qi Hai Dan Tian was still unable to produce any power.

In other words, his innate constitution does not allow him to become a warrior.

You will never become a warrior in your life!
This also means that Zhao Bao’s long-cherished goal has been completely shattered.

And he will most likely be bullied and abused by his master forever and will never be able to be reborn.

It was precisely because of this that Zhao Bao was so disheartened that he wanted to commit suicide after entrusting everything to Liang Jin.

"Brother Jin, tell me, why me?"

"It's fine if I'm a eunuch, but why do you want me to become a useless person who can't practice martial arts?"

"If I'm going to be bullied my whole life, what's the point of living?"

Zhao Bao became emotional.

His thoughts of committing suicide became stronger and stronger.

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

Zhao Bao looked angry when he heard this.

How is this a small problem?

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

He felt lonely and wanted to leave.

Liang Jin stopped him:

"It's not that I don't understand you, but I can help you solve the problem of you not being able to practice martial arts."

Zhao Bao was full of doubts.

He is a useless person, how can he solve such a problem?

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

It was the [Bone Strengthening Medicine] that he took out from the item column.

[Bone Strengthening Medicine] can change one's bone constitution, allowing those who are unable to practice martial arts to become martial artists.

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

Since we met today, it’s just perfect.

"Come on, eat it."

Liang Jin stuffed the bone-strengthening medicine into Zhao Bao's mouth without saying anything.

This made Zhao Bao choke and his face turned red. He only recovered after drinking two sips of water.

"It might be a little painful next, so bear with it and don't scream and attract attention."

"After that, you will be a true warrior."

Liang Jin warned.

Zhao Bao didn't understand at first.

But soon, he felt that his body seemed to have undergone some strange changes.

The meridians, muscles, and bones seemed to be moving from the inside out.

It's as if there is a force that is breaking through some blockages in the body.

Before Zhao Bao could be surprised, he felt a sharp pain all over his body the next moment.

He remembered Liang Jin's instructions and quickly put his palm into his mouth and bit it tightly to prevent himself from screaming out.

The pain intensified.

Zhao Bao was in so much pain that his whole body was soaked with sweat, and his palms were bitten by teeth and bleeding.

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

Fortunately, the severe pain came and went quickly.

As the severe pain receded like the tide, Zhao Bao felt an indescribable sense of relief and comfort all over his body.

Liang Jin's voice rang out:
"Follow the instructions in the secret book and feel your Qi Hai Dan Tian."

Zhao Bao had an idea and hurriedly did as he was told.

After a moment, he stood up incredibly, with a look of surprise on his face:
"Brother Jin, I feel it, I——"

Liang Jin waved his hand to interrupt:
"It's good to know. Don't make any noise, or you'll be punished."

Zhao Bao nodded hurriedly.

However, 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 this miraculous medicine. Although he didn't know its value, he knew it was extremely precious.

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

Zhao Bao was moved and said:
"Brother Jin, I—"

Liang Jin waved his hand again to interrupt:

"I've already said that we're all family, so don't say thank you."

"Stop sweeping the floor. Go back and have a good rest. Report to Zongwu Mansion tomorrow morning. You won't have to endure your master's wrath anymore."

Zhao Bao wiped away the tears that were about to fall. When he was only ten years old, his family died out, and he could not survive alone, so he entered the palace to become a eunuch.

Now, six years have passed, and he has long forgotten what it feels like to have family.

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

Zhao Bao always felt that his life was miserable, and the only lucky thing was that he met these two people.

They are my relatives.

Now it is proven that he was right.

Liang Jin continued to instruct:

"Remember to consolidate your knowledge after you return. The process of training martial arts will be very difficult in the future, so you must not slack off."

"The most important thing is not to give up your life so easily."

"If you have any difficulties, please tell me immediately."

Zhao Bao nodded vigorously.

He just felt that if he had a brother, he would probably look like Liang Jin.

"Brother Jin, I understand."

Zhao Bao agreed and turned to leave.

When he came, he was dazed and depressed; when he left, he walked briskly and was full of energy.

Seeing him like this, Liang Jin felt relieved.

………………

Qingzhou.

Taiyang County.

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

It was originally thought that this would prevent the plague from spreading into the county, but unexpectedly, this method ultimately failed.

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

Even though it was late at night, one could hear the mournful cries coming from thousands of homes in the city.

It's not just the people who are awake.

There is also the county magistrate.

The lights were still on in the study of the county government office.

County Magistrate Qiu Zhuo sat at the table, looking at official documents with a frown on his face.

The plague is raging and has spread to several counties in Qingzhou.

And it is getting worse and worse.

However, the provincial government has not issued a clear policy, resulting in each county having to fight the epidemic on its own. If this continues, the entire Qingzhou will probably fall completely in a short time.

But the biggest problem is that we still haven't found a way to cure the epidemic.

The only effective method is small-scale isolation.

Since the epidemic broke out, Qiu Zhuo closed the yamen and all officials were not allowed to leave.

This prevented everyone in the county government office, including Qiu Zhuo, from being infected with the disease, thus ensuring that the leaders of Taiyang County were all present.

But Qiu Zhuo's family has already contracted the disease.

This forced Qiu Zhuo to worry about personal matters while worrying about official business every day.

Over the past month, Qiu Zhuo has lost a lot of weight.

"Boom boom boom!"

There was a knock on the door.

"County Master, it's me."

There was a voice outside the door.

Without even raising his head, Qiu Zhuo replied:
"Master Zhang, come in."

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

He was none other than Qiu Zhuo's chief advisor, Zhang You.

Zhang You was concise and efficient. He came to Qiu Zhuo and reported directly:
"County Master, I received the news."

"In Juniu Township, there's a man who calls himself the Great Sage Master. He's said to be able to use the power of ghosts and gods to heal illnesses and cure plagues with talismans and water."

Qiu Zhuo was still looking at the official documents.

He didn't care about such a trivial matter, but just looked disdainful and asked:
"Talisman water can cure illness? Master Zhang, do you believe it?"

Zhang You smiled and shook his head.

He also doesn't believe in ghosts and gods.

Qiu Zhuo picked up the brush and wrote on the official document, saying lightly:
"Whenever there's a major disaster, there are always evil people who use the names of ghosts and gods to deceive the ignorant people, but in fact they are trying to make money."

"Order the village chief of Juniu Township to bring his own militia to apprehend that evildoer and bring him to the county government office for detention. Confiscate his property and confiscate it."

Now that a great disaster is imminent, the money in the government treasury is being spent like water and is almost exhausted.

If that evil person could really make money from the people, then confiscating his property could be used to replenish the treasury and be used for disaster relief.

Otherwise, raising taxes rashly may cause public resentment.

But the rich people in the city are not very active.

Zhang You stood still and replied:

"County Master, I'm afraid that demon... will be difficult to capture."
