The Return of the King: A Generation of Prodigies

"Okay, since you've made up your mind, let's do as you say."

Ruan Yuhu can definitely be regarded as Shen Tianjiao's most loyal supporter.

"But it's not impossible that this matter can be resolved before Li Zhaohui rebels."

"Duan Qingning told me that there is a largest restaurant in Shangjing, Nanchu, called Wanchunlou."

"The boss there is called Boss Wan. No one knows her real name or appearance, but she is a know-it-all."

"As long as you pay enough, he can tell you anything you want to know."

"There are so many treasures in this palace. Any one of them is worth a fortune."

"Money makes the world go round, but without it, no one will open their doors. As long as we pay enough, he, a man who runs a business and is obsessed with money, will not tell us everything we want to know."

"If he refuses, that's fine. Just tie him up and burn down his Wanchun Tower."

"Once he is in our hands, can we still let him do what he wants?"

Only this ancestor would dare to speak so domineeringly and with such a bandit-like attitude.

"Then please arrange to bring something over, Auntie. I'm going to Fu Sheng Ru Meng right now."

In fact, there was no need for Shen Tianjiao to go to Fu Sheng Ru Meng in person. She sent someone to call Shen Yiyang into the palace, which saved a lot of trouble.

There was another more important reason why she insisted on going there in person: she missed her two children.

Counting the days, it has been nearly a month since the two children left the palace and were no longer with her.

For almost a month, after finishing her daily work of government affairs, Shen Tianjiao always felt empty and uncomfortable in her heart.

She no longer heard Li Muyang calling her "Mother," nor did he cling to her and refuse to leave.

I couldn't see Li Muyan clapping her hands and smiling at me, as if she wanted to hug me.

Shen Tianjiao felt like a piece of her heart had been cut out, and she always felt lost.

This feeling was something Shen Tianjiao had never experienced in her previous life. Being a mother is different after all.

Sitting in the carriage, listening to the lively hawking and talking outside, and the noisy laughter of children, this atmosphere of fireworks made Shen Tianjiao feel very safe.

All she wanted in her past and present life was just a peaceful and prosperous country like the one she has now.

As she was thinking about her troubles, Shen Tianjiao fell asleep as the carriage swayed.

Shen Tianjiao slept all the way to the destination without waking up.

Shen Tianjiao was sleeping soundly, and Chunchao and Xia He didn't dare to wake her up at this time, so they could only sit in the carriage and wait.

With the Marquis of Zhenbei away from the palace, Li Muyang lived a rather happy life during this period, except for the slight regret of not being able to see his mother every day.

In addition to studying with Cui Yi and completing the homework assigned by Cui Yi every day, he would practice martial arts with Zhenbei Hou.

Yes, that's right. After learning that Li Muyang was going to leave the palace, Cui Yi shamelessly begged Shen Tianjiao to let him come to Fu Sheng Ru Meng with him.

Nothing can stop Cui Yi from wanting to become an imperial teacher and cultivate an emperor who will be remembered throughout the ages.

After all these things are done, the rest of the time is at his disposal.

This is the rule set by the Marquis of Zhenbei. During Li Muyang's free time, no one can interfere with him and he can do whatever he wants.

On days like this, if Li Muyang wasn't thinking about his mother, he wouldn't want to go back.

Fu Sheng Ru Meng is no smaller than the palace, and is filled with the unknown fun of exploration. Li Muyang tirelessly explores the unknown areas in Fu Sheng Ru Meng every day during his free time.

Especially in the past few days, his uncle Shen Yiyang came to play with him, was willing to pamper him and explore those unknown areas with him, which made him even happier.

Although Li Muyan is still young, it is not difficult to tell from her daily expressions and actions that she also likes staying here.

The Marquis of Zhenbei was originally a daughter slave, and now that he has a granddaughter, he naturally turned into a granddaughter slave. Apart from training soldiers and dealing with the gangsters raised by Shen Pingzhi every day, the rest of his time is spent taking his grandson and granddaughter out to play.

Li Muyan, this little elf, understands everything except speaking, and she coaxes her grandfather into a happy mood every day.

Ever since Shen Yiyang came, Marquis Zhenbei has piled all the things on him, and he spends his days leisurely drinking tea and playing with the children.

After completing the daily tasks of reading, doing homework, and practicing martial arts, Li Muyang began to think about where to go for fun.

His grandfather was taking a nap at the moment and his uncle was still training the soldiers, so he could only play by himself.

Li Muyang rolled his big eyes around and was thinking of a bad idea.

Today he wanted to go out and explore alone, and didn't want to be followed by a large group of people.

Although the Marquis of Zhenbei gave Li Muyang a lot of freedom, he sent many people to protect him and stipulated that whenever he went out, someone must accompany him.

There is nothing wrong with having people follow him, but these people always like to control him, not allowing him to do this or touch that, restricting him everywhere.

This made him lose interest every time and unable to do things according to his own wishes.

It's not that he's rebellious, he just wants some time alone.

Li Muyang looked at the servants in the room and soon rested. "I want to go to bed now. No one of you is allowed to disturb me. When I wake up later, I want to eat glutinous rice cakes. You go prepare them now."

The prince had spoken, so the servants in the room naturally did not dare to disobey. The marquis had said that when the prince went out, they should follow closely behind him and not stray even a step away.

But now the prince was just sleepy and wanted to sleep, and didn't want to be disturbed by them, so there was no need for them to stay here and make the prince feel uncomfortable.

After seeing Li Muyang take off his shoes, go to bed, cover himself with the quilt and go to sleep, all the servants in the room left.

Li Muyang buried his head in the quilt. After hearing that there was no movement outside, he quietly pulled open the quilt and stuck his head out.

After making sure that there was really no one in the room, Li Muyang lifted the quilt and began his escape plan.

He stuffed all the pillows and cushions on the bed into the quilt, making it bulge out, pretending that he was still sleeping.

After doing all this, Li Muyang breathed a sigh of relief. He clapped his hands and looked at his masterpiece with a satisfied smile.

Li Muyang turned around, opened the window and climbed out.

Li Muyang thought that what he did was flawless and no one knew about it, but he didn't know that everything was seen clearly by the secret guards arranged for him by the Marquis of Zhenbei, without missing a single thing.

The secret guard couldn't help laughing when he saw his young master's actions. He jumped lightly and jumped down from the beam, then followed Li Muyang out.

When Li Muyang got outside, he was even more cautious and didn't dare to let his guard down, because there were many more people outside than in his house.

If he was accidentally discovered, his plan would be ruined.

But what was strange was that the yard, which was usually full of people, was unusually quiet today. It was as if all the people had disappeared. I walked for most of the day without seeing a single person.

Li Muyang was confused, but without thinking too much, he started his adventure.

What he didn't know was that the reason he didn't meet anyone was that the secret guards had already ordered no one to come out and disturb him.

This was also ordered by Marquis Zhenbei. Marquis Zhenbei felt that his grandson was good in every other way except that he was too docile and obedient.

Do whatever you are told to do, and never do anything you are not told to do.

If a person with such a personality becomes an emperor, he will lack decisiveness, be indecisive and have no opinions of his own. He will not be a good emperor.

The Marquis of Zhenbei intended to cultivate Li Muyang's courage and sense of independence, so he ordered that no matter what extraordinary things he did, he should be allowed to do so. The purpose was to train his courage and decisiveness in dealing with things.

Boys should be brought up in a rough way and experience more hardships and trials. This is the experience of the Marquis of Zhenbei, who raised three sons.

Marquis Zhenbei always felt that Li Muyang was raised too well and too delicately in the palace, and lacked the spirit and guts that a man should have, which was not good.

Li Muyang grew up in the palace, facing the contempt of others, so it was inevitable that he was weak in character.

He had never received any education from his father since he was a child. After being brought back to Yuxiu Palace by Shen Tianjiao, he was taken care of by a group of women all day long. It was inevitable that his temperament and mind would be somewhat feminine.

Li Muyang came to the yard, thought carefully, and then ran towards a place not far away.

He wanted to go a few days ago and went to play on an artificial rockery in the front yard.

Although that mountain is a man-made rockery, its scale is not like the rockery that ordinary people use for decoration.

Those who don’t know it can mistake it for a real hill.

Usually when Li Muyang wanted to go there to play, the servants were afraid that he would get hurt, so they always tried to dissuade him.

No one is following him today, so Li Muyang wants to explore on his own.

When Li Muyang got there, he climbed directly to the top of the mountain. Although it was a rockery, its large size still consumed a lot of Li Muyang's physical strength.

Li Muyang, sitting on the top of the mountain, rested and looked into the distance.

His uncle told him that the imperial city was to the east and his mother was there.

Although he was happy every day here, when it was late at night and everyone was asleep, he would think of his mother and want to go back to the palace.

"Oh!" Li Muyang looked into the distance and sighed. Who said that children have no worries?

He had a lot of worries and troubles, but this wasn't in the palace, so he didn't even have anyone to talk to.

The weather today is pretty good. With the wind and sunshine, Li Muyang felt so comfortable that he wanted to fall asleep.

He closed his eyes and was about to fall asleep when he suddenly felt a chill on his back and then he heard someone breathing heavily.

Li Muyang quickly opened his eyes alertly. All the training that Zhenbei Hou had given him here during this period was not in vain.

The tense atmosphere made Li Muyang swallow his saliva. He calmed himself down, turned around and looked into the eyes of a big black bear.

The man and the bear stared at each other for a long time, both stunned. Neither of them expected to see each other here.

In the end, it was the big black bear that reacted first. It hadn't eaten for several days, and the cute little human boy in front of it was just the right appetizer for it.

The big black bear looked at Li Muyang, who posed no threat or killing power, and came towards him with drooling.

It was not until he saw the big black bear coming towards him that Li Muyang reacted. He no longer had time to think about anything else.

He had to come up with a countermeasure immediately, otherwise he would become a delicacy in the mouth of this big black bear.

Li Muyang quickly took out a dagger from his sleeve. This dagger was given to him by the Marquis of Zhenbei for self-defense. It was made of black iron and could cut through iron like mud.

This dagger was given to Li Muyang by Marquis Zhenbei a few days ago. At that time, neither of them expected that they would use it so soon.

It was impossible for Li Muyang to not be nervous at this time. This was the first time in his life that he had come into such close contact with this huge creature.

Li Muyang had seen a big black bear in the palace once before. At that time, he had not yet gone to Yuxiu Palace with Shen Tianjiao. One time, he sneaked out for fun and saw the palace servants hunting a big black bear.

That time, many people surrounded the big black bear and many people were injured by the big black bear.

So Li Muyang knew very clearly at this time that the big black bear in front of him was an extremely powerful guy, and it was impossible for him to defeat it by himself.

However, when his uncle was chatting with him, he told him that the weakest parts of wild beasts are their eyes and necks. As long as you attack these two places, the chances of defeating them will be very high.

These days, Li Muyang followed the Marquis of Zhenbei and learned a lot of practical skills. Although he has not mastered them well enough, he can still use them.

Another thing is that he is small in stature, so he is relatively more agile. Compared with the big guy in front of him who can only use brute force, he has a lot of advantages.

The big black bear looked at Li Muyang, wishing it could rush up and eat him directly, but it was too big and was stuck in a small cave that was too narrow. No matter how anxious it was, it couldn't get out.

Li Muyang soon discovered that the big black bear was stuck and could not get out, so it could not threaten him for the time being.

Li Muyang could have taken this opportunity to escape, but he remembered what others had said: the bear paws of this big black bear are rare tonics, and its bear skin can be used to make clothes, which are very warm to wear in winter, so he had other ideas.
