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

Chapter 433 Conjoined Monster
"It's actually very simple. We just need you to bring us a meat bun to the prince so that he can fill his stomach."

Xue Yan looked at Liang Jin sincerely and said slowly:
"If you're willing to take this on, let's find a quiet place and discuss it in detail tomorrow, when you have your day off."

After saying that, he waited quietly for Liang Jin's response.

The corners of Liang Jin's mouth rose slightly, revealing a faint smile, but he did not speak immediately.

Xue Yan seemed to suddenly remember Liang Jin's previous complaint and quickly added:
"After the matter is accomplished, I am willing to offer you a thousand taels of silver as a token of my appreciation."

Xue Yan knew that Liang Jin was not easy to fool, so he did not beat around the bush this time and gave a real offer directly.

Liang Jin waved his hand:

"Brother Xue, who do you take me, Liang Jin, for?"

"It's just a simple task for me to bring a meat bun to the prince."

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it. As for the money, don't mention it."

Now, it was Xue Yan's turn to be confused.

Liang Jin had clearly accused me of not offering anything tangible to bribe him before, but now that I had offered him a generous reward, Liang Jin refused it.

Liang Jin's thoughts are really hard to understand.

However, the good news is that Liang Jin is willing to help, which also achieves the purpose of his visit.

"Okay then. I'll come find you later tomorrow when you leave the barracks."

After Xue Yan finished speaking, he turned and left the tent.

Liang Jin looked at Xue Yan's departing back and subconsciously touched his chin.

Then he quickly sat cross-legged and adjusted his breathing.

"call--!"

Liang Jin let out a long breath, as if to let out all the troubles of the day.

Today, he almost failed to control his inner impulse twice.

The first impulse came when he faced Xi Rong's challenge in the martial arts arena.

At that time, a strong idea surged in Liang Jin's mind. He wanted to defeat Xi Rong first, and then challenge Hong Wei, the deputy commander of the imperial guards, on the spot, and show his true strength to defeat him in one fell swoop.

In this way, he would be able to become famous among the imperial guards and even in the entire capital.

After all, a warrior with third-grade strength is enough to attract the attention and attention of various forces, and in the future changes, he can truly participate in the power struggle at the top.

The second impulse came when I faced Xue Yan just now.

He was eager to show his own value immediately, so that Xue Yan could introduce him and stand firmly on the side of Huaiyang King Zhao Yu.

As the saying goes, the profit from farming is tenfold, the profit from pearls and jade is a hundredfold, and the profit from being the ruler of a country is countless.

The emperor is about to die and there is no crown prince. Prince Huaiyang Zhao Yu happens to be in the capital. Legally speaking, he is fully qualified to inherit the throne.

Prince Huaiyang Zhao Yu is like a rare and valuable commodity. If we can support him to ascend the throne, the rewards will be immeasurable.

However, Liang Jin suppressed these two impulses.

Because he soon realized that many things did not necessarily have to be done by himself.

One's own true self is the core and key to everything, and one must never take risks lightly.

As long as the main body is safe and sound, it doesn't matter even if the clone or the war puppet is damaged.

But once something unexpected happens to the main body, everything will come to nothing.

Although Liang Jin obtained the [Nine-Turn Resurrection Pill], it was equivalent to having an extra life.

But this [Nine-Turn Resurrection Pill] is used to deal with life-or-death emergencies, and it is not worth taking the risk of using it on impulse right now.

The true self should be hidden behind the scenes, in a place that is easily overlooked by everyone.

Many things can be safely left to the war puppets and clones to handle.

As for Huaiyang King Zhao Yu, Liang Jin was not in a hurry to completely surrender.

After all, the information he can currently obtain is too little, and most of it is low-end information. In this situation, if he rashly takes sides, he will inevitably face huge risks.

Therefore, he did not accept Xue Yan's money, but had other plans.

If he accepted the money, it would be equivalent to taking money to do things for others, and he would be closely tied to Xue Yan and others in the future.

If he didn't accept the money, he could make Xue Yan and others owe him a favor.

After all, Xue Yan and his gang were now being marginalized in the imperial guards, having a hard time getting anywhere, and had even fallen to the point of asking for help from a small soldier like him.

Liang Jin's help at this time was undoubtedly a timely help.

Of course, we can't always grant their requests.

He would help them this time, then reject subsequent requests for help at the appropriate time, and wait until the critical moment to take action, so that he could better control the situation.

"It is said that the state of mind is very important for a warrior's practice."

"If your mind is unstable, it's easy to go astray."

"I didn't realize it before, but today I realized that my state of mind really needs to be cultivated."

Liang Jin laughed at himself.

He used to be as steady as an old dog, but now after hearing the news that the emperor was going to die, so many impulses surged in his heart. His mental state of mind was indeed not enough.

But then again, how many people in this world can remain indifferent after hearing this news?

Liang Jinsui has impulses, but he can suppress them with reason and not lose his composure, which is far better than most people.

at this time.

Some information popped up on Liang Jin's system panel again.

When he opened it, he saw the radar interface of the [Nine Sky Boundless] feature panel, with some more highlights on it.

This information shows that some people from the Nine Realms who can be pulled into [Nine Sky Without Boundaries] have appeared near Liang Jin.

"This capital city is indeed a treasure land where many hidden dragons and crouching tigers are found."

Liang Jin couldn't help but sigh:
“All kinds of Ninth Realm warriors have gathered here, and new people arrive every day.”

"It seems that making good use of [Nine Sky Boundless] will definitely allow me to gain more say in this capital."

Liang Jin knew very well that in a complex place like the capital city where many experts gathered, [Nine Sky Boundless] had enormous value.

It not only enables private conversations with others and value exchange, but can even spread information.

This is like a unique platform that can bring together some warriors in the capital to form a unique force.

At this moment, Liang Jin once again entered the [Nine Sky Boundless], ready to calm down and think carefully about how to further transform and improve it so that it can play a greater role.

........................

........................

Zhao Bao only felt that his consciousness was like a silk thread, slowly winding back to his body.

pain!
My whole body is in pain!

The intense pain came like a surging tide, as if it was going to drown him completely.

All the bones in his body seemed to be broken one by one by a heavy hammer, and every inch of his muscles seemed to be pulled violently by a pair of invisible hands. The tearing pain almost made him faint.

At the same time, he felt dry mouth and his throat seemed to be burned by fire, and he was so thirsty that it was almost smoking.

"Where am I?"

Zhao Bao's thoughts were in a mess, his mind was like a tangled mess, and he couldn't make sense of it at all.

He had no idea where he was, let alone how he got there.

Gradually, more sensory information came flooding in.

Zhao Bao felt the hardness and dampness of the ground beneath him, and the chill seeped through his clothes and into his bones.

A cold atmosphere filled the air all around, and the darkness seemed like a thick curtain that wrapped him tightly.

He tried his best and slowly opened his eyes.

When he saw the situation around him clearly, a feeling of helplessness weighed heavily on his heart like a huge rock.

At this moment, he was in a deep cave.

In the gap high up, the bright moon above the night sky cast its cool light, like a layer of gauze, gently draped over the cave.

With the faint moonlight, Zhao Bao saw that he was lying on a large rock at the bottom of the cave.

The walls of the cave were covered with moss, which shone eerily in the moonlight. A stream of water flowed down the broken hole, winding its way towards the darker depths of the cave.

"Well……"

Zhao Bao suddenly felt a splitting headache, as if a heavy hammer was hitting his head wildly.

As he covered his head with his hands in pain, those temporarily lost memories surged into his heart like a flood breaking through a dam.

He remembered!
On his way back to the capital, he encountered a colleague from the Investigation Bureau who asked for help. He said they wanted to arrest a court official. The official had angered the director of the Investigation Bureau with a memorial, and was convicted by the director. He was forced to flee the capital, and was pursued by the Investigation Bureau's thugs all the way here.

Since the official was guarded by martial arts masters, a fierce battle ensued between the two sides.

Zhao Bao also joined the battle.

At first, he thought the battle could end easily, but he didn't expect that the opponent's martial arts were extremely powerful. The two sides fought all the way into the mountains.

During the battle, Zhao Bao was careless for a moment and the opponent's master took advantage of the opportunity and knocked him off the cliff.

Zhao Bao still clearly remembers that he broke several branches in succession while falling.

It was these branches that acted as a cushion and prevented him from falling to his death on the spot.

At the last moment, he thought he would hit the ground hard and be smashed to pieces.

But unexpectedly, he broke through the ground and fell into the hole under the ground.

The injuries on his body were caused by falling off the cliff.

"Ok?"

Zhao Bao soon discovered to his surprise:
"My injury...how come it's been bandaged?"

He saw that his broken bones had been fixed with splints, and some of his wounds had been carefully wrapped with cloth strips to stop the bleeding.

Who bandaged him?
It's...it's him!
Zhao Bao covered his head, more memories flooding back:
"Uh...it turns out I've been trapped in this place for three whole days!"

Only then did he remember that he had fallen here three days ago and had bandaged himself.

Zhao Bao struggled to crawl to the water, lay on the ground, and drank a few mouthfuls of water impatiently.

The cool water flowed down his throat, slightly relieving his thirst.

The next moment, a strange sound suddenly rang out in the silent cave.

"Woooooooooooooo..."

The sound was like someone crying softly in the darkness, filled with endless sadness and weirdness.

The sound kept colliding and echoing between the stone walls, as if it came from the deepest part of the cave, like an invisible hand, tightly grasping Zhao Bao's heart.

Zhao Bao suddenly turned his head and looked in the direction where the sound came from.

In the darkness, he could not see anything, only the faint crying sound, like a maggot on his tarsal bone, kept circling in his ears.

"who is it?!"

Zhao Bao asked harshly, his voice trembling.

But after asking, he suddenly remembered it in his mind!

That's right!

Three days ago, he discovered that there was something in this cave!

That thing is scary!
In an instant, Zhao Bao felt all the hairs on his body stand up, and a creepy feeling rushed from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

He struggled hurriedly, trying to get away from the direction where the crying came from.

However, the next moment, a chilling and biting breath suddenly surged out from the darkness deep in the cave, as if carrying endless malice.

Along with this breath, there was a strong and disgusting smell of decay, which almost suffocated Zhao Bao.

This frightened Zhao Bao so much that he immediately knelt on the ground with a plop, kowtowed repeatedly, and begged for mercy in a trembling voice:

"Senior, please spare me! Senior, please spare me!!!"

He remembered, he remembered everything.

There is a monster in this cave!

The monster was about to come out at this time. Zhao Bao knew that he had no intention of resisting and could only kneel down and beg for mercy.

Because in the past three days, he had tried to resist, but relying solely on his sixth-grade strength, facing such a monster was undoubtedly like an egg hitting a rock, or a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

The monster attacked him frantically, breaking his bones and torturing him with all kinds of cruel and painful methods.

This made Zhao Bao completely understand that he was no match for this monster.

next moment.

"call--!"

Zhao Bao only felt a powerful gust of wind coming like a tidal wave, and his whole body was like a light leaf, being swept into the air by the gust of wind.

"Bang!!!"

When he fell heavily to the ground, the old wounds all over his body were severely pulled. The piercing pain made him grimace in agony, and cold sweat broke out from his forehead like rain.

When he opened his eyes with difficulty, he saw the monster.

The monster just floated quietly in front of Zhao Bao.

The moonlight pouring down from the hole in the top of the cave happened to shine on the monster, allowing Zhao Bao to roughly see its appearance.

That monster looks like an old man!

His face was extremely thin, with prominent cheekbones that seemed to pierce through his pale, paper-white skin. His eye sockets were sunken, like two black holes, but they emitted a strange green light, sinister and full of hostility. He stared at Zhao Bao on the ground, as if he wanted to devour him alive.

He was naked, so skinny that he was almost skin and bones, and his limbs were as thin as dead branches, which made people shudder.

Suddenly!

Behind the monster, two slender arms slowly swayed out!
Following closely, there were two equally thin and skinny legs!
This monster actually has four hands and four legs!
"Tell me! Are you a spy sent by that dog emperor Zhao Wuji?!"

The man's voice was hoarse and low, as if it came from the Nine Nether Hell, which could make one's soul tremble.

The next moment, the monster turned around suddenly.

I only saw his back... but there was no back!
Behind him, there was an old woman!

No wonder Zhao Bao thought that this monster had four hands and four legs. It turned out that this monster was actually a man and a woman combined.

To be precise, they are a pair of freaks conjoined at the back!

This congenital deformity causes their movements and postures to differ from those of ordinary people, presenting a twisted and strange coordination. Although their heads and upper bodies are independent, their backs are closely connected, forming a symbiotic relationship.

This makes it seem even more terrifying and horrifying, as if it were a monster walking out of a nightmare.

"You're a eunuch! You're wearing the uniform of a eunuch from the Criminal Investigation Bureau!"

The woman facing Zhao Bao at this moment had a face full of coldness and resentment, and her voice was so sharp that it seemed to cut through the darkness:
"You are the dog of that dog emperor! A running dog!"

This pair of conjoined twins exudes a weird and evil aura all over their bodies, as if they are the embodiment of evil.

Zhao Bao was so frightened that he kowtowed and begged for mercy:

"Seniors, Zhao Wuji has been dead for decades!"

"I was really knocked off a cliff and fell here accidentally. It really has nothing to do with Zhao Wuji!"

Zhao Wuji was the founding emperor of the Daqian Dynasty, and he had passed away more than forty years ago.

While Zhao Bao was kowtowing and begging for mercy, he also discovered the abnormality of the conjoined twins of the opposite sex.

Although the conjoined twins of the opposite sex have a strong aura, many of their bones seem to have been pulled out, especially their limbs.

Their hands and feet hung limply, as if they had lost all their strength.

At this time, they were able to float in the air, all thanks to their strong internal strength.

"Liar! You are a shameless liar!"

The old woman screamed, her voice as shrill as an owl's:
"That dog emperor Zhao Wuji is a traitor! Back when he wanted to conquer the world, he knelt before us like a dog and begged for our help. What a docile and obedient dog! He would eat our shit without hesitation even if we asked him to."

"But after he became emperor, he immediately turned his back on us! He broke and pulled out my bones, fed us a poison that burns when exposed to sunlight, and then imprisoned us underground in the dark."

"We must kill him! We must skin him, pull out his tendons, eat his flesh, and drink his blood!"

Immediately afterwards, she turned around, and the old man behind her faced Zhao Bao.

I only heard the old man say grimly:

"You are Zhao Wuji's running dog, we will eat you first!"

"After eating your little eunuch, I'll eat your dog emperor!"

As he spoke, the old man opened his bloody mouth, revealing a mouthful of jagged yellow teeth, and bit towards Zhao Bao fiercely.

The old man at this moment was like a demon escaping from hell, emitting an extremely strange and evil aura.

Zhao Bao's eyes widened with shock, and he screamed in terror:

“No…no!!!”

However, no matter how much he screamed, he could not escape the old man's clutches.

The old man just had a thought, and a vast internal force immediately wrapped around Zhao Bao, making him unable to move.

The next moment, Zhao Bao's shrill screams echoed throughout the cave...
