The Return of the King: A Generation of Prodigies

"Nothing, I just took out the poison to detoxify the eldest young master and heal his injuries. It took a lot of effort, and I'm a little tired now."

Qiu Tong looked up at Bai Yunchi and said with a hint of impatience in her tone, "Alright, hurry up and get the medicine. Ask, ask, where do you get so much talk all day long?"

Faced with Qiu Tong's sudden temper, Bai Yunchi rolled his eyes helplessly and endured it.

Bai Yunchi went to get the medicine, dissolved it in warm water according to Qiu Tong's instructions, and then handed it to Qiu Tong.

Qiu Tong helped Chao Yun up, pried open her mouth, and slowly poured the medicine into her mouth.

After giving Chaoyun the medicine, Qiu Tong handed the bowl to Bai Yunchi. She did not let Chaoyun lie down immediately, but let Chaoyun rest in her arms. This would help Chaoyun swallow the medicine and prevent it from remaining in the mouth and causing choking.

Bai Yunchi went to put the bowl away, then came back. He glanced at the unconscious Chao Yun and asked, "Has he been caught?"

Although Bai Yunchi seemed dissatisfied with Qiu Tong on the surface, he actually admired Qiu Tong very much in his heart.

Since ancient times, women have been considered weak. Everyone, including women themselves, consider themselves weak. Women are only suitable to hide behind men and be protected by men.

However, Qiu Tong's behavior made Bai Yunchi change his view that women are weak. This seemingly thin woman refreshed Bai Yunchi's inherent stereotype time and time again.

Let him know that as a woman, she doesn’t have to hide behind a man to be protected, and she can also protect others so handsomely.

Complete tasks that others think are impossible to complete and challenge your limits again and again.

In Bai Yunchi's mind, Qiu Tong is an absolute chivalrous woman. Although she is a little fierce, she is kind-hearted and has a chivalrous heart.

Qiu Tong glanced at Bai Yunchi with disdain, not surprisingly, and said, "When you came in just now, didn't you see someone lying in the yard?"

"Ah!" Bai Yunchi then remembered that he had indeed seen a woman fainted in the yard just now. It turned out that the woman was Chao Yun's junior sister.

Thinking of this, Bai Yunchi suddenly became excited. He looked at Qiu Tong with shining eyes and said, "Is General Shen back?"

Qiu Tong looked at Bai Yunchi who suddenly became excited, and was stunned for a moment. Then she remembered that their eldest son Shen Yiyang has always been a hero admired by Bai Yunchi, and someone Bai Yunchi wanted to meet in his dreams.

Bai Yunchi's silly look now successfully made Qiu Tong laugh. The man standing in front of her was not Bai Yunchi, one of the three most dissolute playboys in the capital, but a big fool.

"What are you laughing at?" Bai Yunchi looked at Qiu Tong, who was laughing in an unpresentable manner, and muttered softly to express his dissatisfaction.

"What am I laughing at? Of course I'm laughing at your stupidity." Qiu Tong finally stopped laughing. She looked at Bai Yunchi and said, "When you came in just now, didn't I tell you that Chao Yun was like this because she was exhausted from using the Gu to detoxify and heal the eldest young master? You only realized it now. Do you know that my eldest young master is back?"

Bai Yunchi scratched his head embarrassedly because of being ridiculed. Qiu Tong did seem to have said that just now, but at that time his mind was focused on whether Chao Yun would be in trouble, so he didn't pay attention.

Seeing Bai Yunchi's embarrassed look, Qiu Tong decided not to laugh at him anymore.

"It just so happens that you are here today, and I have something to tell you."

The detoxification of the eldest son has been completed, and it is time for Qiu Tong to do what she needs to do.

"Soon I will be leaving the capital with Zuo Beichen and leading the caravan to do business in other countries."

"After I leave, you must pay more attention to the Empress. Although the master has many servants, few of them are capable."

"So you'll need to worry more about it. I'll leave the secret guards following me to you. You can ask them for anything you need. If there's anything you don't understand or are hesitant about, you can ask them. They will spare no effort to help you."

"Right now, the situation in both the capital and the imperial court is extremely tense. As a qualified guard, in addition to performing routine defense, you also need to keep your eyes and ears open and not miss any news, even gossip."

"Because many things are hidden in these seemingly useless details."

Bai Yunchi looked at Qiu Tong. He knew that everyone had his own path to take, and from now on he had to learn to face many problems alone and learn to grow.

He also did not say anything to refuse Qiu Tong from letting her most capable secret guard stay, because he was very clear about his own strength. He was not strong enough yet and he still needed a lot of people to help him.

"I understand. I will try my best." Although Bai Yunchi had been living under Qiu Tong's suppression and beatings during this period, he was still very sad when he heard that Qiu Tong was leaving.

Moreover, he knew that traveling around the countries with a caravan was not an easy task. Ordinary caravans would have to risk their lives before they could return.

What's more, Qiu Tong's trip this time was just a cover for doing business with other countries. She went there with a very important and dangerous mission.

The slightest mistake could endanger his life or even result in a more tragic price. How could he not worry?

Qiu Tong shook her head and said, "I don't know, maybe in the next two days. This matter has been dragging on for too long, and it must be resolved as soon as possible."

Qiu Tong knew very well how heavy the burden on her shoulders was on this trip. Establishing an intelligence network in her own territory was already difficult, and now she had to establish an intelligence network in the enemy country, which was even more difficult.

But Qiu Tong has no right or qualification to retreat. Her existence is not just to protect Shen Tianjiao's safety, she also has her mission and responsibility.

Her father lost his life on the battlefield because of his responsibility and mission to the people of Yunli. Now she wants to carry on her father's aspirations and continue her father's unfinished wish.

Help Shen Tianjiao to eliminate all villains, intimidate other countries, and make those people with evil ambitions no longer dare to plot against Yunli and invade and attack Yunli at will, so that the people of Yunli can truly live and work in peace without any disturbance.

To realize the dream of building a strong country that the emperors of all dynasties have wanted to realize since the founding of Yunli.

"Well, go ahead and rest assured. I will protect the Queen and the little prince."

"I will also grow up as quickly as possible and become a qualified guard."

Bai Yunchi lowered his head and said awkwardly, "You have to take care of yourself. Once you leave Yunli, it's someone else's territory. Try to control your temper."

"Also, you must be careful when doing things. Being careful is the key to success. Don't argue with others when encountering problems. Be patient and you will have a peaceful life. Take a step back and you will have a bright future."

Listening to Bai Yunchi's instructions, Qiu Tong didn't smile, but nodded solemnly and said, "Okay, I understand."

It was uncertain whether she would live or die this time, and she didn't know whether she would be able to come back alive. She could accept Bai Yunchi's well-intentioned advice.

"Also, there's Zuo Beichen. Although he looks cold and aloof, he's actually a pretty good person."

"He is also very loyal to his friends. If you encounter any problems, you can let him do it."

Bai Yunchi and Zuo Beichen are two of the three most dissolute playboys in the capital. Although they don't have a very good relationship, they still have some friendship.

They understand each other quite well and know each other's character very well.

Bai Yunchi was actually quite relieved that Zuo Beichen was accompanying Qiu Tong on this trip. After all, compared to Qiu Tong's hot temper, Zuo Beichen was much more steady and calm.

Besides, Zuo Beichen is a man who has nothing much in common but is full of schemes. Except for his mouth, everything else on his body is full of schemes. It would be a disaster to have such a person following you.

"Okay, I got it." Qiu Tong turned to look at Chao Yun, who was still unconscious in her arms, and said to Bai Yunchi, "You have to take good care of this girl. She has used up a lot of her energy and strength to detoxify and heal the injuries of the Marquis and the eldest son."

"She might be in this comatose state for a long time. Please take good care of her until I return."

"Well, don't worry about her. I will take good care of her. I was the one who persuaded her to detoxify the Marquis, so I will definitely take care of her until she returns to normal."

Bai Yunchi always felt that he was fully responsible for Chao Yun's current condition. After all, if it weren't for his persuasion, Chao Yun would never have agreed to detoxify and heal the injuries of Zhenbei Hou.

So he consciously took the responsibility of taking care of Chaoyun on himself.

Qiu Tong glanced at Bai Yunchi and stopped talking. "When I leave the country, I'll be passing through Ganzhou. Do you have anything to say to General Bai? If so, I can act as a messenger and help you deliver the message or letter."

Bai Yunchi hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said, "No, I haven't achieved anything yet, so how can I say anything to my father?"

Everyone has their own ideas, and Qiu Tong is not used to forcing others. Since Bai Yunchi said he doesn't want it, she won't say anything more.

Qiu Tong put Chao Yun back on the bed and let her lie down. She stood up and said, "I'll leave this place in your care. I have some things to take care of before I leave, so I won't come to say goodbye before I go."

"Well, okay, you and Zuo Beichen take care of yourselves and make sure you come back safely."

A tearful farewell scene is not suitable for Qiu Tong. A farewell like this is better.

When Bai Yunchi walked Qiu Tong to the door, he hesitated for a long time before saying, "If you pass by Ganzhou and see my father, tell him that I didn't embarrass him, and I will never embarrass him in the future."

As the son of Bai Qishan, Bai Yunchi has always admired his father in his heart and looks forward to becoming a great person like his father. Of course, he also wants to get affirmation and recognition from his father.

"Okay, I will tell General Bai these words word for word." Qiu Tong left without looking back.

Perhaps because of his young age and good physical fitness, when Shen Yiyang had contractions, he didn't feel as much pain as when Zhenbei Hou had them. Although it was painful, it was within Shen Yiyang's tolerance.

Although Shen Yiyang didn't think it was a big deal, the Marquis of Zhenbei was extremely worried. After all, he had experienced it personally and knew what it felt like to be in excruciating pain.

Although he was worried, the Marquis of Zhenbei just looked at Shen Yiyang and didn't say much, so as not to affect Shen Yiyang. Shen Yiyang was experiencing pain, and if he talked to him now, it would consume his energy, which would be bad.

Although Shen Yiyang was lying on the bed, he could still feel his father's worried and burning gaze.

In order not to let his father worry, he turned to face Zhenbei Hou and said, "Father, I'm fine, don't worry anymore. Although it really hurts, it's really bearable."

"It hurts less than the last time I was injured on the battlefield."

Listening to his son's words, Marquis Zhenbei nodded on the surface, but actually he didn't believe it in his heart. He just thought Shen Yiyang said that to comfort him and told him not to worry.

Qiu Tong walked into the yard and tripped without noticing. She looked down and saw Liu Mei still sleeping unconscious on the ground with no one paying attention.

Qiu Tong was so worried about Chao Yun that she forgot about Liu Mei. She kicked Liu Mei twice, but she didn't react at all.

Qiu Tong was worried that Liu Mei was dead, so she bent down to check her breath. Seeing that she was still breathing, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Originally, Qiu Tong thought that people like Liu Mei should just die. After all, she was not a good person and staying in this world would only bring harm to the world.

But Chao Yun's words changed Qiu Tong's mind. Qiu Tong had witnessed with her own eyes the power of the poisons prepared by Chao Yun.

Sometimes, using these poisons is much simpler and easier than doing it yourself, and the effect is doubled.

The mission she is going to carry out this time is not simple but also very dangerous. It is better to bring more of these things that can kill people invisibly. They can not only protect herself but also play an important role. It is better to be prepared.

Chao Yun's poison is already very powerful, and Chao Yun said that Liu Mei is more talented than her and her poison-making skills are even better than hers.

Such a talent should be used to great effect. It would be a pity if she died like this. At least she still had value to be utilized before she died.

Asking Liu Mei to make more poisons that can be used for self-defense and killing people can be considered as a way of atonement for herself.

"Find a place to lock her up. Don't let her die." Qiu Tong stood up and gave the order coldly.

"When she wakes up, have her make some more useful poisons and antidotes. Once they're made, test their effects."

"If she refuses to cooperate, then give her more Duanjinsan."

Qiu Tong said this and walked away. Immediately after she left, two dark shadows appeared and took away Liu Mei, who was lying on the ground.
