The Prodigal Son

The Imperial Palace.

Yunying reported the aftermath of this absurd loan incident to Zhao Luan.

"I see!"

Zhao Luan suddenly realized.

No wonder Qin Yu specifically asked for Lü Si but didn't bother him much!

It seems that Qin Yu's condition for not causing trouble for Lü Si was to get Lü Si's help to get the Song family to write that agreement.

The Luo family thought Qin Yu was doomed and that the Qin family was about to collapse, so they rushed to attach themselves to the Lü family!

As a result, the Qin family turned around and used Lü Si to set a fatal trap for the Luo family!

Use the people they most want to curry favor with to destroy them with their own hands!

This will also make the Lü family famous!

That was a brilliant scheme!

After a moment of contemplation, Zhao Luan asked again, "How did the Luo family handle it afterwards?"

Yun Ying replied, "Luo Yushu and his sister were forced into a corner by those ministers, so they gave each of them, except for Lü Chunqiu, three thousand taels of silver to send them away temporarily, saying they would discuss the rest after Luo Jianshan returned..."

"madness!"

Zhao Luan scoffed, "Now that this door has been opened, the Luo family won't be able to avoid paying off Qin Yu's debts!"

The Luo family's only hope was to stubbornly refuse to acknowledge the debt transfer agreement signed between Qin Yu and the other ministers, insisting that the debt was owed to Qin Yu, and then push the blame onto Qin Yu.

But now that they've given each person three thousand taels of silver, it means they've accepted the debt!

Even if Luo Jianshan comes back, it won't change anything!

Shangguan Youyi nodded in agreement and smiled, "Luo Jianshan is still in Jiangzhou. Facing so many important officials pressing for debts, the Luo siblings are already in a state of panic. How could they have thought things through as thoroughly as His Majesty?"

He does not mean that.

Hearing Shangguan Youyi's words, Zhao Luan couldn't help but ponder them silently.

Could Luo Jianshan have been detained in Jiangzhou?

If this is also part of Qin Yu's plan, then this plan is too ingenious!

……

Qin Yu is a man of action.

After finishing his work, he immediately took Qi Dachui to find Sun Wuhuan, a famous doctor in the capital.

Sun Wuhuan took Qin Yu's pulse and listened to Qin Yu's description of his symptoms. He immediately frowned. "Judging from the pulse, Young Master Qin does indeed have some kidney deficiency, but it's not serious! But the pain you're experiencing is really strange!"

"What's so strange about it?"

Qin Yu asked nervously.

"I can't quite put my finger on it, but I feel it might be related to Young Master Qin's innate deficiency!"

Sun Wuhuan gently shook his head, "I'm afraid I'm powerless to help. I urge Young Master Qin to seek help from someone more capable!"

This is a notorious playboy in the capital.

He wouldn't dare use medication without being 90% certain.

If something happens to this bastard and he tries to pin it on me, that would be a real problem!

"I……"

Qin Yu looked at Sun Wuhuan with a frustrated expression.

The imperial physician has made a diagnosis, and so have you!

Where the hell am I supposed to find someone better?

Go to hell!

Is this really a side effect of being struck by lightning?

This is really a pain in the ass!

Qin Yu became increasingly frustrated. After leaving a piece of silver as payment for the consultation, he left with Qi Dachui.

"Thirteenth Young Master, you should practice martial arts more! Once you get a body like mine, you'll be free of all your illnesses."

On the way, Qi Dachui kindly gave Qin Yu some advice and even patted his own muscles with a showy air.

"hehe……"

Qin Yu rolled his eyes. "Don't you know about my innate blocked meridians?"

It's fortunate that those words came from Qi Dachui, that simpleton.

If someone else had said that, he would have thought they were mocking or ridiculing him!

"Ah...this..."

Qi Dachui was slightly taken aback, scratched his head awkwardly, and grinned sheepishly.

"Alright, let's go back!"

Qin Yu didn't blame him, but the thought of curing his congenital meridians rekindled in his heart.

This pain is inexplicable, and I suspect it's really related to my congenitally weak meridians.

Back home, Qin Yu pondered for a moment, then sought out the old man again to ask, "Speaking of which, is there really no cure for my congenital incurable meridians?"

Qin Fumeng's expression darkened, and he unusually comforted Qin Yu: "Don't be discouraged, there should be a way! Murong Dapan, the first great leader of the Murong clan of Beiqi, also had a congenitally severed meridian, but in the end, he not only became a top-level ninth-realm expert, but also founded Beiqi..."

Murong Dapan!

The first powerful ruler of Beiqi, or rather, Xianqi.

The Murong clan originated in Daning, which is now Beizhou.

More than two hundred years ago, when Murong Dapan was thirty-eight years old, he founded the Qi Kingdom. He then quickly led his troops to sweep across the world, utterly defeating the Mole people who occupied the present-day territory of Northern Qi and seizing a large area of ​​Mole territory.

To this day, Murong Dapan remains a legend.

Even Emperor Xiaowu, who always boasted that he was the greatest in the world, praised Murong Dapan highly.

The present-day eastern capital of Beiqi, Dapan City, is built to commemorate this powerful ruler.

"Really?"

Qin Yu was skeptical. "Why haven't I heard you mention this before?"

"What's the point of telling you!"

Qin Fu glared at him. "For the past few years, I've been secretly sending people to Beiqi to investigate why Murong Dapan was able to become a ninth-realm expert with a body that is born with innate broken meridians, but I haven't found out anything..."

Even with innate blocked meridians, one is not necessarily unable to break through the shackles of a martial artist at the third realm.

However, after reaching the third realm, each breakthrough requires enduring pain far exceeding that of ordinary people.

With each breakthrough in the next realm, the risk of death will increase several times over.

Murong Dapan was able to become a ninth-level expert either because he cured his congenital meridians or because he was so lucky that even the heavens dared not take him away!

However, the latter possibility is almost negligible!

"Is that so?"

Qin Yu smacked his lips. "Could Murong Dapan have had some kind of extraordinary encounter or obtained some rare treasure? Perhaps we should ask Xiao Baoju?"

That damned Murong Dapan clearly stole my lead role!

"Given the deep-seated grudges between my Qin family and Bei Qi, even if he knew, he wouldn't tell you! And even if he did, the conditions he proposes are beyond your reach!"

Qin Fu glanced at his naive grandson and said, "If you really want to achieve something in martial arts, I do have a way, but it depends on whether you can handle it."

Tell me!

Qin Yu immediately became interested.

Qin Fu said in a serious tone, "I'll send thirty to fifty thousand men to fight you. As long as you don't die within three years, even if you're a pig, let alone someone with a congenital deficiency, you'll still become a top-tier expert!"

"..."

Qin Yu's face darkened. "Old man, you're clearly trying to kill off your lineage!"

"Alright!"

Qin Fumeng laughed at Qin Yu: "Even if you don't have an innate deficiency of meridians, with your lazy attitude, you're not cut out for martial arts! Think about whether you can endure the hardships of martial arts training before thinking about anything else!"

Got it!

Keep practicing!

Anyway, I'm already financially independent, so I don't need to clock in at work anymore.

I'll practice for an hour every morning and evening from now on!

Anyway, I have plenty of energy and nowhere to release it!

It would be best if one could break through the limitations of one's innate meridians; if not, it would still be good for strengthening the body!

Yes, that's right. I still need to make a hand-held pistol when I have time.

At close range, without any defense, even a top-level expert would likely be either killed or seriously injured if shot!

Yes, that's it!

Having made up his mind, Qin Yu immediately returned to his small courtyard.

After changing his clothes, Qin Yu immediately began practicing martial arts.

Upon learning that Qin Yu had actually started practicing martial arts, Qin Fu's jaw nearly dropped to the ground.

This kid... has he really changed his ways?

However, it seems that he is working in the wrong direction!

He would be better off learning from Song Zhuo instead of wasting his time!

Even though Song Zhuo's dantian was destroyed and he couldn't practice martial arts, he still became the prime minister of a country.
