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

Chapter 244: Martial Arts Level Up
royal palace.

The Spring Festival has passed.

The festive atmosphere in the palace has also ended.

The eunuchs took down all the lanterns and colorful lights that had been hung up and put them in the warehouse, waiting to be used again next year.

This restored the palace to its former solemnity, seriousness, rigidity and ruthlessness.

The entire palace was like a man-eating beast that would eat people without leaving any bones behind.

The festive decorations and festivities can only temporarily cover up its cruelty.

As the festival ends, the beast will return to its original ferocious appearance.

The weather in the capital is still cold.

Liang Jin was still on guard.

He continued to be on duty today.

It was just that I had just taken over the shift and it was not dark yet.

The person next to him is still Xue Yan.

Even the big iron cage in the corner was still there.

Huaiyang King Zhao Yu was still imprisoned there.

This pampered prince has become much thinner from his initial plump appearance.

He was dirty and smelled terrible, with severe frostbite on his hands, feet and ears, and his hair and beard were so dirty that they stuck together and formed hard clumps.

If someone who doesn't know the situation saw this, they would probably just think he was a beggar.

Liang Jin also couldn't understand what was going on.

Why didn’t the emperor kill Zhao Yu even after the Spring Festival?

Isn’t this emperor known for his wise words?
Saying something but not doing it, is this what they call a king’s words are true?

But he also heard some things.

The emperor actually no longer lived in the palace, but moved out of the palace and lived in a new house.

It is said that the emperor's new residence outside the palace was filled with secret rooms, like a maze, and also had training grounds, Buddhist temples, etc.

The emperor even issued an edict to the Ministry of Rites, which in turn sent a letter to the local prefectures and counties, requesting them to select the most skilled musicians from each household to enter the new residence to please the king.

Therefore, local areas selected actors of all kinds and sent them to the capital, hundreds of them every day.

There were even tigers, elephants, leopards, pigeons, deer, eagles and other birds and beasts raised in the new house for the emperor to watch and play with.

From then on, the new house was filled with beauties, music, somersaults, acrobatics, and so on.

Among them were the emperor's favorite beauties, monks, Taoist priests, attendants, and other followers who accompanied him. He was enjoying himself day and night and had no desire to leave.

What about the important affairs in the court?
The emperor handed over all matters to the factory manager.

This also led to more people calling the factory manager "Nine Thousand Years Old", which means he is second only to the emperor and above everyone else.

It seems that the emperor was having so much fun that he forgot about Zhao Yu.

Liang Jin sighed secretly.

No wonder everyone wants to be emperor. It’s really cool to be an emperor.

At the same time, Liang Jin also knew that the news of the emperor's new house had spread throughout the capital and even reached the ears of a small soldier like himself.

The details were so detailed that they seemed absurd.

Behind this, it is probably because the ministers are unwilling to let the factory officials control the government, so they are launching a public opinion offensive.

But it’s not Liang’s turn to worry about such things.

He just needs to stand guard.

These days, Liang Jin has been investing all his signing resources into the martial art "Hidden Dragon in the Abyss".

It also successfully upgraded "Hidden Dragon in the Abyss" from the third level to the current sixth level.

As a result, the aura Liang Jin exudes now only remains at the sixth level.

no way.

Now that Liang Jin's true strength has reached the fourth level, he must hide his cultivation level well.

Especially after entering the fourth rank, Liang Jin's senses were greatly enhanced, and he could even sense some powerful and terrifying auras in many places in the palace!

Liang Jin naturally didn't want to attract other people's attention.

If a small soldier has reached the fourth level, he can't just rely on saying "I am an orphan" to get away with it.

"Cough cough!"

"Cough! Cough!"

Xue Yan, who was standing by, suddenly coughed dryly a few times.

Liang Jin knew that this was Xue Yan's hint, indicating that he should start feeding Huaiyang King Zhao Yu.

Although the two of them haven't exchanged a word in the past while, they can basically understand each other's thoughts through some hints.

So Liang Jin walked away from his post and looked away.

Xue Yan hurried to the iron cage and stuffed the food in his arms into it.

These days, not only did the emperor ignore Zhao Yu, but even the eunuchs from the Imperial Kitchen stopped coming to deliver pig food.

If it weren't for Xue Yan secretly bringing food every day, Zhao Yu would probably have starved to death.

If Xue Yan had not brought clothes and medicine, Zhao Yu would have frozen to death or died of illness.

Liang Jin has become more open-minded recently.

Especially after his clone on Hualong Island broke through to the fourth level and was able to easily escape from the third-level warriors by relying on "Stepping in the Wind and Shadow".

Liang Jin's mentality changed.

He knew that he already had a trump card that could save his life.

With the "Stepping Wind and Foot Shadow", it is not difficult for him to escape.

With the war puppet Tie Kuangtu, he can also eliminate many obstacles on his way to escape.

Although there are dangers everywhere in this palace, and there are many powerful and terrifying beings.

But Liang Jin is no longer the small character who can be manipulated and killed by anyone.

He seemed insignificant.

But he has already thrived in secret.

"Da da da!"

There was a sound of footsteps.

Liang Jin looked over and saw a young eunuch with a white face and no beard walking towards him.

It was Zhao Bao.

Liang Jin immediately moved away from Xue Yan and Prince Huaiyang and went to meet Zhao Bao.

"Zhao Bao, is it done?"

When Liang Jin saw Zhao Bao's happy face, he knew that the matter was probably done.

Zhao Bao nodded and whispered:

"Brother Jin, tomorrow is your day off, let's talk about it in detail at our old place."

Liang Jin's current position is no longer suitable for discussing private matters because of Xue Yan and Prince Huaiyang.

Liang Jin had already completed a shift and it was time for him to take a break and prepare for a new shift.

Liang Jin nodded.

He took a closer look at Zhao Bao and said in surprise:
"Zhao Bao, you actually broke through to the sixth level?"

“It’s so fast!”

At this time, Zhao Bao already had the aura of a sixth-grade warrior.

He knew that Zhao Bao was a martial arts genius. If he were somewhere else, he would probably be trained intensively by a major sect.

Is always shining gold.

But the premise is that there are no shiny stones next to the gold.

In this imperial palace in the capital, there is gold all around, shining brightly. Who would notice a tiny gold bead?
At this moment, Zhao Bao suddenly bowed deeply to Liang Jin.

Liang Jin hurriedly helped Zhao Bao up:
"What are you doing?"

Zhao Bao replied solemnly:

"The reason I was able to break through this time was because I was forced to unleash my potential at a critical moment of life and death."

"Otherwise, at my speed, it would probably take another two months to reach the sixth rank."

Indeed, although Zhao Bao’s cultivation speed is fast, it is not as fast as this.

Liang Jin asked:

"Are you in danger?"

Zhao Bao nodded:
"I encountered some enemies who were stronger than me."

"Thankfully, Brother Jin gave me weapons and secret manuals, which allowed me to finally escape danger and gain enlightenment, leading to a blessing in disguise and a breakthrough."

"If it weren't for Brother Jin, I would have already become a skeleton in the grave by now."

"Brother Jin, I have no way of repaying your kindness to me. I can only ask you to accept my greeting!"

Liang Jin originally gave Zhao Bao the evil hidden weapon, the Rain of Pear Blossom Needles, and a secret manual called "A Sky Full of Rain of Flowers" because he was worried that Zhao Bao might be in danger recently.

I didn't expect it to come in handy.

Liang Jin smiled immediately:

"Brother, there's no need to do this."

"If your troubles are difficult to solve, you can tell me."

Although it was inconvenient for Liang Jin to kill people.

But arranging war puppets to commit crimes is a trivial matter.

Zhao Bao replied:

"Don't worry, brother Jin, I've solved it. Everything is fine now."

"Brother Jin, please come tomorrow. I'm afraid I'll have to go on a long journey."

"If Brother Jin sees Xiaolian these days, please tell her that I'll definitely bring her lots of delicious and fun things when I come back!"

Liang Jin didn't expect that Zhao Bao would actually leave Beijing.

It seems that Concubine Han has given Zhao Bao some important tasks to do.

So Liang Jin nodded:
"Okay, let's talk about it tomorrow."

Zhao Bao bowed to Liang Jin again, then turned and left.

at this time.

Xue Yan had finished feeding Prince Huaiyang and returned to his post.

So Liang Jin went back to continue standing guard.

Night falls quickly.

As darkness descended upon the palace, it grew colder.

Xue Yan took out the cotton coat hidden in the breastplate and stuffed it into Prince Huaiyang's cage.

Liang Jin was bored and looked through the information he had obtained today.

I saw that the updated information had appeared on the information panel.

[Complete sect missions today: 2]

[Amount of information available: 2]

[Intelligence 1: Kong Chang, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Hat and Scarf Bureau, has recently suffered numerous misfortunes and feels lost. While out of the palace making purchases, he stumbled upon the Taiping Dao. Returning to the palace tonight, Kong Chang was distraught and decided to fully convert to Huang Tian within a quarter of an hour.]

[Intelligence 2: Wang Yong, a member of the Beijing Black Tiger Gang, is looking for an opportunity to escape the capital and go into exile. If you can help him, he's willing to share a key piece of information about Zhu Xuan, a key Black Tiger Gang leader.]

These days, Liang Jin completes 2 tasks every day.

Liang Jin could roughly guess the reason. In addition to the guard duty, he also had the task of guarding Prince Huaiyang.

Because of this reason, Liang Jin has become more open-minded about Prince Huaiyang's affairs these days.

He looked at the first piece of information and was surprised.

The Hat and Scarf Bureau was the place in the palace responsible for making hats and boots for the eunuchs, and it was not considered an important department.

But Liang Jin didn't expect that there were eunuchs in the palace who began to believe in Taiping Dao?
The speed at which Taiping Dao develops is truly astonishing.

He believed that it would not be long before more people in the palace would join the Taiping Dao and become Yellow Turban brothers.

As for the second piece of information, it was useless and Liang Jin naturally ignored it.

Liang Jin prepared to continue standing guard diligently.

But at this time, another line of information popped up on the system panel.

Liang Jin took a closer look and couldn't help but feel ecstatic.

[Congratulations to the host, you have successfully used the talisman water to treat 100,000 patients. You will receive a special reward: all martial arts proficiency has been fully upgraded!]
