The Return of the King: A Generation of Prodigies

It is not impossible for Wang Yunzhi to meet Wang Zongyuan.

But the problem now is that we have to find Wang Zongyuan first and make sure he is safe.

Thinking of Wang Zongyuan, Shen Tingzhi felt a little upset again.

It would be a lie to say that he was not worried about Wang Zongyuan. After all, no matter how powerful Wang Zongyuan was, he was just one person. Two fists could not defeat four hands, not to mention that the other party had a large number of people.

Wang Zongyuan has a hot temper and cannot keep his composure. If something really happens, it is hard to say whether he can come back safely.

Wang Yunzhi heard a very important message from Shen Tingzhi's words, that is, the death anniversary of the wife of the Marquis of Zhenbei is approaching, which also means that Shen Tianjiao may come to the Huguo Temple.

After all, every year on the anniversary of the death of the wife of the Marquis of Zhenbei, Shen Tianjiao would personally come to the Huguo Temple to pay her respects.

Although Shen Tingzhi is here this year, isn’t Wang Zongyuan here too?

That only means one thing, Shen Tianjiao will still come to Huguo Temple this year to pay homage to the wife of the Marquis of Zhenbei.

No wonder he met Wang Zongyuan and was rescued by him.

Shen Tingzhi never expected that his words would become evidence that completely dispelled Wang Yunzhi's doubts.

"Okay, then I'll have to trouble the Second Young Master to pass on a message to General Wang."

"It's just a small favor. I'll take my leave now."

Shen Tingzhi turned around and left. If he didn't leave, who knows when this chat would end.

Seeing Shen Tingzhi leave, Wang Yunzhi ordered: "Changkong, go get some paper and a pen."

Changkong brought paper and pen, and moved a small couch for Wang Yunzhi to write on.

Wang Yunzhi quickly wrote a list and blew air with his mouth to dry the ink on it.

Then he carefully rolled up what he had written, handed it to Changkong, and said, "Take this list back to Shangjing, and then visit each person on the list one by one."

"Tell them that I was assassinated at Eagle's Beak Cliff and nearly died. Ask them to come to Huguo Temple to see me."

"Remember to be extremely careful and cautious in your actions, so as not to be discovered by others."

"Also, go to Yipinlou and invite my brother, the eldest master, over."

"Don't go empty-handed. Go back to the mansion and take the century-old ginseng that is treasured in the warehouse."

"My sister-in-law is not in good health, and my brother has suffered a lot in the northern border. Let them cook the old ginseng to nourish his body."

"Yes, Changkong understands."

Changkong put the list into his sleeve and turned around to go out to do his job.

He could leave so happily without any worry or hesitation because Shen Tingzhi was here and the people from the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion were here.

Everyone in the world knows that the military strength of the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion is so great that no one in the world dares to challenge it.

If Wang Yunzhi were to encounter any danger while under the protection of the Marquis of Zhenbei's Mansion, it would become a legendary story for all time.

At the Su family in Shangjing City, when the people who were sent to kidnap Madam Wang yesterday did not return, Su Chang had a bad premonition in his heart.

Until this morning, the news he received completely shattered his fantasy.

This is really true that man proposes, God disposes. It was originally a foolproof plan, but who could have thought that it would be declared bankrupt because of Wang Zongyuan's sudden intervention?

The Marquis of Zhenbei's Mansion is really the Su family's mortal enemy. For so many years, not only has it suppressed the Su family in everything, but now it is the Marquis of Zhenbei who comes to destroy the Su family's good things.

It seems that his Su family and the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion are really irreconcilable and are natural enemies.

"As the commander of the Xishan Camp, Wang Zongyuan is not allowed to leave the capital without an imperial decree. How could he appear in the Huguo Temple?"

When people are angry, their IQ will indeed decrease. Su Chang himself said that Wang Zongyuan was not allowed to leave the capital without an imperial edict.

So now Wang Zongyuan dared to announce his name and save Wang Yunzhi and his wife, there must be a reason.

"In a few days it will be the anniversary of the death of the wife of the Marquis of Zhenbei. Every year at this time, the Empress will go to the Huguo Temple to pay her respects."

"Wang Zongyuan has always been the one who protected the emperor in previous years, and this year will be no exception. After all, he is also from the Zhenbei Marquisate. With him as the guardian, we can ensure that nothing goes wrong."

"But this year's worship seems to be earlier than in previous years."

"Shen Tingzhi, the second son of the Zhenbei Marquisate, is already at the Huguo Temple."

"I guess in previous years, because the sons were away, only the queen went to pay homage, and it was always very low-key."

"Now that my son is back, it's natural that the ceremony will be more grand and formal than in previous years, so I'm preparing in advance."

Before implementing Su Chang's plan, Lao Lu indeed overlooked the fact that Shen Tianjiao would go to the Huguo Temple to worship the wife of the Marquis of Zhenbei at this time every year.

But it's not Lao Lu's fault that he neglected it. In the past, he would only start preparing for the sacrifice to the wife of the Marquis of Zhenbei a few days before the Mid-Autumn Festival.

This year it was suddenly brought forward, which really caught them off guard.

Su Chang slammed the table in frustration. When people are unlucky, even drinking cold water can get stuck in their teeth.

The originally good plan has now been ruined because of Wang Zongyuan's interference.

This time he really lost both the wife and the army, and shot himself in the foot.

"It's over. If we don't catch Wang Yunzhi this time, I'm afraid we won't be able to live in peace in the future."

"On the surface, Wang Yunzhi appears to be a modest gentleman, with the appearance of a weak scholar. He never argues with others and is friendly to everyone."

"But in fact, he is the one who is not easy to mess with. If anyone provokes him, he will definitely take revenge and double the damage."

Su Chang has the most say in what kind of person Wang Yunzhi is. The two of them have been fighting openly and secretly for decades. How could they not understand each other?

When Wang Yunzhi was marginalized and had nowhere to go, and almost lost his life, Su Chang and the Su family made great efforts.

After all, they had different ideas and could not work together at that time. They each served their own masters and performed their own duties. There was nothing that could be done about it.

But what Su Chang could never have imagined was that even after pushing Wang Yunzhi into a desperate situation, Wang Yunzhi was able to survive and escape the catastrophe.

Not only did Wang Yunzhi escape the catastrophe, but he also seemed to have been blessed with luck and was promoted all the way to the position of Prime Minister, the highest among all officials.

Of course, after he took the position of prime minister, those who had bullied Wang Yunzhi, suppressed Wang Yunzhi, and wanted to force Wang Yunzhi to death disappeared.

They all paid a heavy price for their past actions. Some were dismissed from office, some were frustrated in officialdom, and even worse, some had their homes confiscated and their families exterminated.

Although the Su family is powerful and has a solid foundation, it has also suffered a lot of difficulties and suppression over the years.

From this we can see that Wang Yunzhi is definitely not a good person. If the Su family fails to control him today, he will definitely kill the Su family tomorrow.

When Su Chang thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a headache. He had no doubt that he and the Su family would suffer revenge from Wang Yunzhi next.

"Lao Lu, go meet Li Zhaohui and have a good talk with her. Tell her to bring her plans forward."

"We can't just sit there and wait for Wang Yunzhi to come after us. We have to resolve this matter thoroughly before Wang Yunzhi's revenge comes."

"By then, even if Wang Yunzhi wants to take revenge on the Su family, it will be beyond his control."

Su Chang's idea was that as long as they succeeded in their rebellion with Li Chaohui this time, no matter how capable Wang Yunzhi was or how much power he held, he would be unable to do anything to the Su family as long as Li Chaohui was there.

After all, who can offend a meritorious official who helped the new emperor ascend the throne? As for the future, there is plenty of time anyway, and they can fight slowly. It is still unknown who will win.

"Yes, I'll go right away." Lao Lu received Su Chang's order and hurried out.

When Shen Tingzhi received the news that Shen Tianjiao was coming to Huguo Temple, he was so shocked that he didn't know what to do.

His sister is really willful.

Normally, Shen Tianjiao always said that her brother Shen Tingzhi was willful and liked to put himself in danger, but now it seems that the brother and sister are the same kind of people.

No one would believe that they are not biological children.

Although he was angry, the person was already on the way, so Shen Tingzhi still had to take protective measures.

In a blink of an eye, Shen Tingzhi called back Yu Po who was guarding Madam Jin.

Shen Tingzhi can only feel at ease when entrusting the task of protecting Shen Tianjiao to Yu Po; no one else can do it.

"Yupo, Jiaojiao is on her way here. Put aside the matter with Madam Jin. I will arrange for someone else to go."

"Your first priority now is to wait for Jiaojiao to arrive and protect her closely. Don't let her get into any trouble."

Shen Tianjiao hasn't arrived yet, but Shen Tingzhi has already started to worry about gains and losses.

In fact, it is no wonder that Shen Tingzhi is uneasy and worried about gains and losses. It is because the Huguo Temple is now a dangerous place.

No one knows how deep the water is here. If this place has been infiltrated by the Xirong people, Shen Tianjiao's visit this time will undoubtedly put herself in the hands of the enemy.

How could Shen Tingzhi not be worried, anxious, and nervous about this?

"Master, are you coming?" Yu Po was also shocked when she heard it, and her heart was panicked, but she soon calmed down.

Her master is not a willful person. She must have her reasons for coming to Huguo Temple today.

"Yes, I understand. I will arrange it right away."

It should be a long time before Shen Tianjiao comes, and Yu Po has enough time to arrange everything.

Shen Tingzhi looked at Yu Po, who was briefly panicked but quickly calmed down. He asked in confusion, "Hey, aren't you worried at all?"

"I'm worried, but the master has always been very sensible. She must have made all the necessary preparations to come to the Huguo Temple."

"You know that Huguo Temple is in a state of panic, but you still want to come. There must be a reason why you have to come."

Yu Po's calm look made Shen Tingzhi feel like a fool, as if all his worries were unnecessary.

"Okay, okay, you can go down." Shen Tingzhi waved his hand a little irritably, trying to drive Yu Po away.

How could Yu Po, a little girl who only knew how to fight and kill all day, understand and appreciate his worries?

Yu Po didn't leave immediately. She just smiled nonchalantly and said, "Second Young Master, I know and understand your concerns."

"But now the young lady is no longer the little girl who needs your constant protection."

"She is now Yunli's queen regent, and will be Yunli's pillar of support in the future."

"Since she came to Huguo Temple at this time, she must have a reason for coming."

"You're worried about her safety, but she's also worried about yours."

"No one can predict what will happen during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Even if nothing happens, the situation will certainly be more tense than it is now."

"Master, there is really no way for me to come and pay my respects to Madam. Over the years, Master has been alone in the capital. Every year, she can do nothing else, but on Madam's death anniversary, no matter what happens, she will definitely come to pay her respects to Madam."

"You should be able to empathize with the master's thoughts better than the rest of us."

"In addition to the palace guards and secret guards, we also have General Wang's personal guards and troops."

"If this still fails to protect the master and allow her to escape unscathed, then the palace will no longer be safe."

Yu Po's words instantly soothed Shen Tingzhi's uneasiness and anxiety. He had really underestimated this girl.

I didn't expect that at the critical moment, the person who gave me guidance would be her.

It is undeniable that what Yu Po said just now did make sense. He was always worried that something might happen to Shen Tianjiao or that she would encounter dangerous situations.

But he really forgot about his sister, who is now the Queen Regent who can stand on her own.

Since she was born, my sister has never seen the love of her mother, father, and brothers. The love she has received can never compare to the love of her biological mother.

I was seven years old when my mother passed away. Although I was still a young child at that time, I enjoyed all the love from my mother.

Poor sister, she lost her mother at birth and has never received her mother's love. Coming to worship her mother every year is the only way for her to make up for the lack of maternal love in her heart.

It is also the only time she can truly feel the meaning of her mother's existence.

No matter what the reason, he should not deprive his sister of the right to worship their mother.

Just as Yu Po said just now, he was here, the guards and secret guards in the mansion were also here, and Wang Zongyuan’s personal guards and army were also here.

With people like them around, what is there to be afraid of?

If they can't even protect Yunli's Queen Regent, they are not worthy of being members of the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion.

After figuring it out, he let it go. Shen Tingzhi smiled at Yupo and said, "Okay, little girl, it's true that when you've been away for three days, you should look at it with new eyes."

"It's really worth staying in this palace. Now he speaks in a very sophisticated way."

Yupo lowered his head and smiled, saying, "It's all thanks to the Second Young Master, the teacher, who did a good job. It's because of the Second Young Master's good teaching."
