After traveling through time, the adults were completely in my hands

At night, at the Jinyiwei office.

Wei Qing had just finished reading official documents in the conference room and returned to his room. Just as he was about to undress and rest, he heard a knock on the door.

"Sir, sir!" Jindou's voice came from outside the door like a death urgency.

Frowning, Wei Qing sat back in his chair helplessly and said, "Come in."

Jindou opened the door with one hand and walked in with a tray in the other.

"Sir, I made you a bowl of medicinal porridge." Jindou smiled as he walked up to Wei Qing and placed the tray on the table.

Wei Qing took a look at the tray and saw a small bowl of porridge on it. There was some colorful stuff added to the porridge. He didn't know what it was, but it had a fragrant smell that was very pleasant.

"Sir, I see you're working hard every day, going out early and coming back late, so I made a bowl of medicinal porridge for you to nourish your body."

Jindou handed the bowl to Wei Qing with a flattering smile on his face: "Sir, please try it and see how it tastes."

Wei Qing looked at Jindou suspiciously, and seeing Jindou's expectant look, in order to get rid of him as soon as possible, he took the bowl and scooped the porridge into his mouth with a spoon.

Seeing Wei Qing finish his porridge, Jindou asked hurriedly, "Sir, how does it taste?"

Wei Qing nodded: "Not bad."

"Great!" Jindou clapped his hands happily, and with a "swish", he took out a long piece of paper from his arms.

Wei Qing was startled by this action. Just as he was confused, he heard Jindou say, "Sir, let me tell you the truth. There are white lotus and Poria cocos in this bowl of porridge..."

Wei Qing watched Jindou holding a long piece of paper and reading it incessantly. He felt his head aching more and more. He waved his hand and said, "Tell me, what do you want to do?"

Jindou extended his hand to Wei Qing and said, "Sir, please pay for the porridge."

Looking at the hand with golden beans stretched out in front of him, Wei Qing felt a surge of blood in his chest. Did God think that once a month was too light a headache for him, so he sent someone down to annoy him again?

At the same time, in a secluded forest south of the city, several masked men were cautiously moving through the woods. The eerie woods were silent, save for the rustling of fallen leaves beneath their feet.

A ray of moonlight passed through the mottled leaves and fell on the faces of several people, allowing people to recognize that these people were the ones Jindou met at the market during the day.

At this point, they had reached a slightly open area in the woods and stopped. A guard beside the young man whispered worriedly, "Your Highness, why hasn't the informant arrived yet?"

The young man observed his surroundings and said in a deep voice, "Everyone, be careful, in case the situation changes!"

As they were talking, several arrows suddenly shot towards them with the sound of wind. The guards were startled and shouted loudly, "Protect His Highness!" and quickly formed a circle around the young man.

It happened so quickly that as soon as the arrow was shot, dozens of men in black quickly jumped down from the surrounding trees, each holding a sharp sword. Without saying a word, they rushed over viciously, and the two groups soon engaged in a battle.

It was obvious that the main target of the men in black was the young man called His Highness. Except for a few men in black fighting with the guards, the rest all pounced on the young man.

Several guards were extremely anxious when they saw His Highness being surrounded, but they were entangled by the men in black and had no way to split themselves. Fortunately, the young men were highly skilled in martial arts, and although they were in danger frequently, they were resolved one by one.

Suddenly, another sharp arrow flew out of the forest, accompanied by a whistling sound, and headed straight for the young man's heart. The young man was fighting fiercely with several men in black at the moment and could not pay attention to anything else. He saw the sharp arrow shot straight into the young man's chest amid the terrified screams of the guards!

"Your Highness!" The guards all screamed in surprise. Just when everyone thought that the young man would be stabbed and fall down, a magical scene happened. When the arrow hit the young man's chest, it seemed to hit something hard. With a "clang", the arrow was bounced back several meters and fell to the ground.

For a moment, the men in black were shocked and began to lose their composure. At this moment, a whistle suddenly sounded in the woods. The men in black stopped fighting and flew to the trees together. After a few leaps, they disappeared into the woods.

"Your Highness!" When the black-clad man disappeared, several guards hurriedly gathered around the young man and stared at his chest. "Your Highness, are you okay?"

"It's okay," the young man shook his head, reached into his arms, and took out the peach charm. He saw a shallow hole in the middle of the peach charm, which was exactly the mark where the arrow had shot in.

"Your Highness, look! The arrow is poisonous!" A guard ran over with the picked up arrow. When everyone looked, they saw that the arrowhead had turned black, obviously coated with a deadly poison.

For a moment, all the guards gasped and focused their eyes on the peach charm.

If there was no peach charm blocking your way today, Your Highness would surely be dead!

The arrow was launched with a whirring sound, clearly indicating the shooter's immense strength. If it had struck a person, the force would have likely pierced through them. However, he hadn't expected this tiny peach charm to be so solid that the sharp sword only left a shallow dent.

The young man looked at the peach charm in his hand for a long time, then slowly put away his fist and held the charm tightly in his palm.

As Wei Qing, leading several members of the Jinyiwei Northern Pacification Division, entered the Imperial Prison gate, Gao Bo, the Northern Pacification Division's governor, came forward to greet them: "Sir!"

"How is it?" Wei Qing asked as he walked in.

"This Southern Yi barbarian is very stubborn and won't say a word!" Gao Bo said helplessly.

In recent years, the ambitions of the Southern Barbarians have expanded, and they have constantly entered Daqing to stir up trouble. This time, they even sneaked into the capital.

Wei Qing nodded expressionlessly.

In the imperial prison, the sounds of wailing and screaming were endless.

Wei Qing pretended not to hear anything and went straight to a closed cell door. When the jailers on both sides saw Wei Qing and his group coming, they hurriedly opened the cell door.

There was a man hanging from a pillar inside, his body covered with wounds and blood, and it was obvious that he had been severely tortured.

Wei Qing walked over and lifted the man's chin. The man only raised his eyelids slightly and then closed them again.

Letting go of the man, Wei Qing took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands, then threw it away and said as he walked out, "Kill him, there's no need to keep him alive!"

Gao Bo hurriedly chased after him: "Sir, then we have no clues left."

During this capture of the Nanyi barbarians, several others committed suicide by taking poison on the spot, leaving only this one. Fortunately, the master was quick-witted and pinched his jaw with his hands when he was about to grit his teeth. With a "click", he removed his jaw, causing it to be dislocated and unable to close. Only then was the poison found in his dentures, leaving him alive.

"The Southern Barbarians have always been cruel. I guess those sent this time are all assassins who have signed a life-or-death agreement. They had no intention of returning alive when they came. Let's just fulfill his wish," Wei Qing said as he walked.
