Under One Person: From Nascent Soul to Great Sacred Body

"With a son like this, what more could a husband ask for?"

Upon hearing Jingming's words, Zhao's father couldn't help but pat Jingming's head.

Jingming responded with a smile.

However, Jingming was thinking about the consequences of his teacher's previous disaster relief efforts.

The misfortune that befell Zhao's father was probably not due to his actions, but rather to his environment.

People who maintain high moral standards are easily preyed upon!

"Master, you've arrived!!"

The group arrived at the Zhao Family Chamber of Commerce's base in Fuzhou City and began to pack and rest.

"We made it through. It wasn't an easy journey."

Looking at the shopkeeper in front of him, Zhao's father smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

"Sun Zheng, let me introduce you. This is my son."

Then, Zhao's father smiled and pointed to Jingming standing next to him.

"Haha, I know that. I even attended the young master's 100-day celebration!"

Sun Zheng smiled and bowed to Jingming.

"Hello, Manager Sun."

Jingming responded with a bow.

"Haha, hello young master."

"I never expected that the young master could endure such hardship at such a young age. His background is certainly good enough to carry on his father's business and make the Zhao Family Chamber of Commerce even more prosperous!"

Sun Zheng chuckled and agreed.

"Sir, when would you like to pay a visit to the Governor's Mansion?"

Then his gaze returned to Zhao's father.

"It's still early, let's do it tonight."

"Send someone to the governor's mansion to deliver a message."

After a moment's thought, Zhao's father changed his mind and spoke to Sun Zheng.

"Alright, Master and Young Master, you two rest first, I'll go and make some preparations."

Hearing Zhao's father's words, Sun Zheng nodded and then went out to meet with Qian Tong.

As was customary, whenever Zhao's father returned home, he would bring gifts to pay a visit to the residence of a powerful figure in the city.

"Father, is it because of what happened in the city today?"

Jingming blinked and asked softly.

"Well, in principle, this kind of thing shouldn't happen under the governor's jurisdiction."

"At least on the surface."

Zhao's father nodded.

He wasn't afraid of the other officials in the city, but he was afraid of the governor, who was in charge of the entire province. If that young man was related to him, he was afraid he would be in trouble.

"Master, something terrible has happened! Young Master Tang is in trouble!!"

Just as Zhao's father was worrying, a person rushed into the governor's mansion crying and shouting.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 31 The road ahead is blocked, and there's no hope of becoming an immortal? I'm not going to become an immortal anyway!

"What's going on?"

Hearing the faint shouts outside, Governor Sun, who was handling affairs in his study, couldn't help but frown.

His already furrowed brows furrowed even more deeply.

"Master, the young master was riding his horse recklessly through the streets and was knocked unconscious by the frightened horse!!"

The person who came to report was the same one who had given the order to fire earlier.

Zhao's father was right; in this situation, the person was most likely related to the Grand Commander he had mentioned.

Why didn't you stop him?!

Upon hearing that his nephew was injured and unconscious, Governor Sun slammed his hand on the table in front of him and stood up.

However, a sharp pain shot through his chest, and he sat back down, his face pale.

The person didn't find this strange at all.

An angry person can show all sorts of expressions!

Not to mention the man in front of her with a livid face.

"Zhou Qi, tell me everything clearly from beginning to end!"

Governor Sun gripped the armrests of his chair with both hands, squinted at the person in front of him, and said in a low voice.

As a high-ranking official in a region, and wielding considerable military power, he naturally possessed a life-or-death authority.

"Yes, young master has acquired a fine horse today."

"I planned to emulate the ancient scholar who was the top scholar in the imperial examination and parade through the streets on horseback."

"I don't know what happened, but the horse went berserk and started rampaging through the street, carrying the young master with it."

"In the end, for some reason, the horse suddenly collapsed and, in its rapid gallop, pinned the young master to the ground."

Zhou Qi lowered his head and began to whitewash the young master's behavior.

"Hehe, I don't know, what a convenient 'I don't know'."

"Go and find out who gave you this horse, and who encouraged you to go out and ride it."

"Also, why did the horse suddenly faint?"

Governor Sun squinted and coldly looked at Zhou Qi, who stood in front of him with his hands hanging down, looking humble.

"Yes, Commander!"

A cold voice rang out from outside the study.

Zhou Qi was actually relieved, as none of the three questions concerned him.

You can search anywhere!

"Guangzhi, how are your injuries?"

After a moment of silence, Governor Sun's voice rang out again.

"Reporting to Master, the young master is seriously injured. Under the weight of the horse, not only are both legs broken, but even his pelvis is shattered."

"If not handled properly, he may end up disabled."

Zhou Qi buried his head deeply in his chest, appearing extremely humble.

"Even the doctors at Jishetang can't do anything about it?"

Upon hearing Zhou Qi's words, Governor Sun narrowed his eyes and asked coldly.

"As Dr. Wang said, unless we find a powerful medicine to strengthen muscles and bones, otherwise..."

Zhou Qi spoke hesitantly.

"Okay, stop talking. I know what happened."

"Give the order to collect the relevant medicines, and send them to Jishetang immediately once they are found."

Governor Sun frowned and interrupted Zhou Qi.

"Yes, sir!"

Hearing that Governor Sun hadn't taken his anger out on him, Zhou Qi breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Master, the young master's horse suddenly collapsed in front of a caravan."

After hesitating for a long time, Zhou Qi finally spoke about what Sun's father had to say.

Even if he doesn't say it, it will be found out.

"Go and receive twenty lashes, then go and deal with this matter!"

Governor Sun glanced at Zhou Qi, then spoke.

"Yes, sir!"

Upon hearing Governor Sun's words, Zhou Qi bowed and withdrew.

Twenty strokes first, then the deed done—you won't die!

Crunch! !

After Zhou Qi left, the study door closed again.
