The Return of the King: A Generation of Prodigies

If the guard hadn't told him that Shen Tianjiao and Shen Tingzhi were going out together, Yu Po would have rushed out to look for them.

Yu Po has been able to wait until now, which shows that he has great determination and patience.

"Master, you are back."

Yu Po originally wanted to ask Shen Tianjiao what had happened just now, but when she saw Shen Tingzhi, she didn't ask anything.

The original body and Yu Po are such good master and servant that there is still a tacit understanding between the two.

Looking at Yu Po's expression, Shen Tianjiao knew that she had seen the dress and had some guesses in her mind.

"Yes, I'm back." Shen Tianjiao took off her cloak, handed it to Yupo and asked, "Is General Wang not back yet?"

This Wang Zongyuan is really worrying. He is already an old man, but he still has no sense of propriety.

"Not yet, but there's no movement from Madam Jin either, which means there shouldn't be any problems."

Yu Po took the cloak that Shen Tianjiao handed to her and put it on Shen Tianjiao.

"Master, you'd better put it on first. You've just been sweating. If you take it off right away, you'll catch a cold in the cold wind."

It was already very cold at night in this season, but after going up and down the mountain, Shen Tianjiao still sweated a lot.

"Okay." Shen Tianjiao was good-tempered and did whatever Yu Po said.

"Here's the cold-dispelling soup. You and the Second Young Master should each drink a bowl to dispel the cold. It would be bad if you caught a cold."

Shen Tianjiao did not bring a maid with her this time, so in addition to being a guard, Yu Po also had another identity, that of a maid.

She wanted to exercise the rights of a maid on behalf of Chunchao and the others and take good care of Shen Tianjiao.

Shen Tianjiao and Shen Tingzhi drank the soup to dispel the cold. As soon as they took a sip, their bodies immediately warmed up from the inside out.

"Even if everything is fine now, we can't be careless. We still need to find a way to send our people in to investigate. We must not let anything happen to General Wang."

Not to mention that Wang Zongyuan now has a special status. He is the commander of the Xishan Camp that guards the entire capital. But since he and the Zhenbei Marquis have been through life and death together for so many years and are brothers with a very good relationship, Shen Tianjiao will not let anything happen to Wang Zongyuan.

"Yes, our people are trying to find a way to sneak in. Mrs. Jin is a very vigilant person. Everyone who enters and leaves her yard must be checked."

"We told the public that it was because of what happened last time. We were afraid that those thieves would still be determined to commit evil and send people to harass us again, disturbing Zhou Haibei's wife."

Yu Po was also very annoyed when talking about this matter. She had sent out three waves of people, but none of them could get in. If it still didn't work, she would have to go there herself and find a way to force her way in.

"Humph! They really acted out this thief crying thief scene very well."

Mrs. Jin's acting skills are so good that Shen Tianjiao feels ashamed of herself.

Since Alupo Yiyinshuang were both able to work as doctors under Mrs. Jin, it was clear that Mrs. Jin must be of noble status.

Even if he was not a member of the Xirong royal family, he must at least be a noble or a powerful official.

This might allow Shen Tianjiao to launch the plan that she had been planning for a long time ahead of time, and disintegrate the internal forces of Xirong. At that time, she could take down Xirong in one fell swoop at a very low cost.

Thinking of this, Shen Tianjiao couldn't help but feel relaxed and happy.

Xirong is Yun Liren's nightmare and a powerful enemy that has entangled her for two lifetimes. She wants to put an end to it completely and prevent future troubles!

At this moment, Wang Zongyuan's loud voice came from outside: "Tingzhi, give me some water quickly! Oh my God, I've worked all day, ran such a long way, and carried these two people back. I'm so tired."

"I'm stupid too. Why do you have to carry them back? Why don't I just knock them out and tie them up, then come back and ask someone to bring them back?"

"Alas, I'm old after all. My mind is not thinking straight anymore. I deserve to work myself to death."

Although he didn't know what Wang Zongyuan was mumbling and complaining about outside, Shen Tingzhi could finally put his heart at ease after hearing his voice and knowing that he had returned safely.

Shen Tingzhi couldn't help wanting to beat Wang Zongyuan up, but he still poured tea for Wang Zongyuan with his words not meaning it.

Wang Zongyuan died of thirst. When he got home, his father would definitely punish him.

He comforted himself in his heart by attributing his inconsistent behavior to the fear of being punished by the Marquis of Zhenbei. Only then did Shen Tingzhi feel a little more balanced.

Wang Zongyuan came in from outside. He was indeed exhausted today. He was tired, thirsty, weak all over, and hungry.

Those Xirong people were such bastards. They made us do such heavy work, but only gave each of us a big pancake. The pancake was dry and hard, and it was hard to eat and not filling at all.

Wang Zongyuan has always had a big appetite and likes to drink and eat meat. After today's busy day, he really felt as if he was in another world.

Since following the Marquis of Zhenbei, Wang Zongyuan has never been hungry no matter what the circumstances.

Even during the war, no matter where he went to fight or how difficult the conditions were, the Marquis of Zhenbei would order people to prepare delicious food for him in advance and would never let him go hungry.

This is the first time that Wang Zongyuan has suffered such a punishment in more than 20 years.

Wang Zongyuan walked into the room and without thinking, he just grabbed the teapot and started drinking.

Fortunately, Yu Po prepared the tea in advance, because he was afraid that Shen Tianjiao would be thirsty and eager to drink tea when she came back. If it was a pot of hot tea, Wang Zongyuan would suffer even more at this moment.

Wang Zongyuan, having drunk his fill, put down the teapot and started shouting again, "Tingzhi, go get me something to eat! If I don't eat something, I'm afraid I'll starve to death."

At this time, Wang Zongyuan had no idea that Shen Tianjiao was also here. He was so tired that he squinted his eyes since he came in, and didn't notice that Shen Tianjiao and Yu Po were in the room at all.

Now that he had finished ordering Shen Tingzhi around, he went straight to the recliner beside him and threw himself on it.

Seeing Wang Zongyuan's lordly demeanor, Shen Tingzhi couldn't help but want to retort him.

But before he could open his mouth, he was stopped by Shen Tianjiao. Shen Tianjiao shook her head at him, turned around and whispered to Yu Po, asking her to prepare food for Wang Zongyuan.

Yu Po quietly went out to prepare food for Wang Zongyuan.

The two people in the room were originally waiting for Wang Zongyuan to explain, but instead of getting an explanation, they heard Wang Zongyuan snoring.

Shen Tianjiao and Shen Tingzhi looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.

Wang Zongyuan was really bold. He fell asleep before saying anything.

However, it can also be seen from this that he was really exhausted today. I just don’t know what great achievements this exhausted General Wang had done outside that made everyone worry about him all day.

When Yu Po went out, he saw two people thrown in the yard. These should be the two people that Wang Zongyuan said he had carried back.

Both of them were in a coma, most likely knocked unconscious by Wang Zongyuan.

It seems that Wang Zongyuan's day was quite colorful, which was a waste of their worries.

While Yu Po went to the kitchen to prepare food, he also ordered the guards to take the two people that Wang Zongyuan brought back away first.

Otherwise, if these two people suddenly wake up later, they will disturb Shen Tianjiao.

Looking at the sleeping Wang Zongyuan, Shen Tianjiao and her brother looked at each other in surprise.

Judging from what Wang Zongyuan said just now, he must have done something earth-shattering today.

But now he fell asleep before he said anything. Even if they were anxious to know, they could only wait for this exhausted old man to wake up.

Yu Po quickly prepared the food and brought it over. It was all meat that Wang Zongyuan liked to eat. Anyone who had been to the Northern Frontier knew that Wang Zongyuan liked to eat meat.

"Master, do you want to wake up General Wang?" Yu Po asked in embarrassment, looking at the sleeping Wang Zongyuan.

"Don't yell, let him sleep. He must be exhausted. If you wake him up now, he won't be able to do anything when he's so sleepy."

"Yupo, go prepare a hot pot. It's so cold outside. I'm afraid he hasn't eaten anything all day."

"These are all cold foods you prepared. Give him something hot so that he can eat it to warm himself up."

In fact, Shen Tianjiao really likes people with Wang Zongyuan's personality. When she led troops to fight in her previous life, most of the people around her had people with this personality.

When these generals left the battlefield and returned to life, most of them were simple-minded and foolish.

This is much more lovable than those civil servants who are full of tricks. You don't have to worry that they will plot against you and use all their tricks on you.

Yu Po quickly prepared the hot pot. In such weather, eating a hot pot around the charcoal fire was the most pleasant thing.

When the hot pot on the stove began to bubbling, the overbearing aroma traveled through the air and directly into the nostrils of the sleeping Wang Zongyuan.

Wang Zongyuan, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly had a dream. In the dream, a steaming pot suddenly appeared in front of him, with mutton, chicken, many delicious foods, and even rare beef.

The aroma wafting from the boiling pot was enough to make one hungry to death, but Wang Zongyuan couldn't eat it yet. He had to wait for the Marquis of Zhenbei to come and eat with him.

When Wang Zongyuan was having a beautiful dream, suddenly all the meat and hot pot in front of him flew away one by one. This made Wang Zongyuan very anxious. He tried his best to chase them, but he couldn't catch up.

Wang Zongyuan was anxious, and he actually woke himself up in his anxiety.

Wang Zongyuan was still dazed when he opened his eyes and smelled the tempting aroma of the broth in the hot pot.

Yupo was the first to discover that Wang Zongyuan had woken up. She walked over to Wang Zongyuan and said, "General Wang is awake. Come over quickly, wash your face, and then eat something."

"Didn't you keep saying you were hungry when you came back just now?"

"Why are you not in a hurry now that you have something to eat?"

Wang Zongyuan came back to his senses after hearing Yupo's voice. He looked at Yupo with a smile and said, "Oh, the little girl is thoughtful and even remembered to prepare food for me. That brat Tingzhi is not so thoughtful."

"I'm still sitting here, and you're saying bad things about me like this. Is that appropriate?"

After hearing what Wang Zongyuan said, Shen Tingzhi expressed his dissatisfaction.

"Humph! Brat, there's nothing wrong with what I said."

Wang Zongyuan stood up and washed his face. The shock of cold water made him completely sober.

Normally, Wang Zongyuan behaves impartially and respectfully in front of others, but in private, his relationship with Shen Tingzhi is like that of father and son.

Wang Zongyuan has no son, only a stubborn daughter. He has been in Beijing for several years, but the girl still insists on staying in the northern border and refuses to come.

Moreover, the father and daughter would quarrel as soon as they met, and all they did was blame each other. How could there be any drama of deep father-daughter love?

"General Wang shouldn't praise me. These are all prepared by the Queen."

Yu Po handed the towel in his hand to Wang Zongyuan and asked Wang Zongyuan to wipe his face.

When Wang Zongyuan heard that Shen Tianjiao had asked Yu Po to prepare food for him, his nerves immediately tensed up and he stood at attention involuntarily.

Although Shen Tianjiao didn't do much to Wang Zongyuan, even when Wang Zongyuan got into trouble, she still protected him and didn't make things difficult for him at all.

But for some reason, Wang Zongyuan was very afraid of the queen.

The feeling Shen Tianjiao gave Wang Zongyuan was that although she did nothing, as long as she stood there, she gave people an invisible sense of oppression.

People can't help but feel nervous and behave well in front of her.

"General Wang, you've worked hard today. Come over and have dinner. I'm tired and need to go back to rest. I won't accompany you."

"Let my second brother have dinner with General Wang."

Shen Tianjiao stood up. She knew that Wang Zongyuan would feel restrained and unable to eat freely with her around. If you can't enjoy eating, can it still be called eating?

Wang Zongyuan turned around and saw Shen Tianjiao was about to leave. He then remembered the two people he had brought back, so he quickly said, "Your Majesty, I found out something from Madam Jin today and I need to report it."

"Oh, then General Wang, please sit down and talk while we eat."

Shen Tianjiao, who had already stood up, sat back down.

Wang Zongyuan swallowed nervously and walked over to sit next to Shen Tingzhi.

Shen Tingzhi, who clearly felt Wang Zongyuan's nervousness, almost couldn't hold back his laughter, but he held it back for the old man's face.

In front of him, Wang Zongyuan was truly fearless. Relying on the fact that he was his uncle, he didn't take him seriously at all.

Whenever Shen Tingzhi said one thing, Wang Zongyuan would go the other way. In any case, he had to go against Shen Tingzhi in everything.

But now that this man is here with his sister, he is so nervous and restrained. It is really rare.
