The Return of the King: A Generation of Prodigies

Shen Tingzhi was in front and Yu Sheng was behind, and the two of them also entered the house.

When they went in, Ainuer Linghua had already recovered from his panic.

At this time, Ainuer Linghua sat upright, no longer looking weak as when she pretended to be Mrs. Jin, but looked like a normal man with his innate dignity and coldness.

The way he looks makes people feel immediately that his identity is different from others.

Compared to when he dressed up as Mrs. Jin, he looked completely different.

Shen Tingzhi sat down. He looked up at Ainuer Linghua and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that this person's appearance was really hard to tell whether he was male or female. No wonder he had been lurking in Yunli for so many years and his identity had not been exposed.

Looking so closely, it is true that Ainuer Linghua looks very similar to Ainuer Jingherong, both of them are first-class handsome men.

It seems that the men in the Beihai Palace are all handsome, and have nothing in common with the rough and wild men of Xirong.

It is no wonder that after the old King of Beihai, the Beihai Palace began to decline. It is difficult for people like them to survive in Xirong.

After Shen Tingzhi sat down, Ainuer Linghua asked, "Second Master Shen, there's no need for us to be polite. Just come straight to the point and state your conditions."

Shen Tingzhi smiled and said, "Okay, it seems that the Third Master of Beihai Palace is also a cheerful person. I like dealing with cheerful people the most."

"Then let's not beat around the bush and get straight to the point."

Shen Tingzhi slightly turned his body, and someone immediately presented him with a box. Shen Tingzhi took the box, put it on the table, and pushed it in front of Ainuer Linghua.

"To express my sincerity, this is my gift to Master San. It contains the antidote."

When he heard that the box contained the antidote, Ainuer Linghua's eyes lit up. He could not contain his excitement and his thoughts showed on his face.

Ainuer Linghua took the box in her hand, holding it tightly and unwilling to let go.

Shen Tingzhi looked at Ainur Linghua's expression and was finally able to confirm that what Shen Tianjiao said about Alubo Yiyinshuang being his Achilles' heel was true.

A cunning person like Ainuer Linghua can reveal his emotions so easily in front of others. This also proves one thing, that is, Alubo Yiyinshuang is really an important person to him.

It is really not a wise move to reveal your weaknesses and soft spots so obviously to your enemies.

Because then, his opponent will use his weaknesses and soft spots to take advantage of him.

"Master San can send someone to bring the antidote back now. Once taken, the pain symptoms will be relieved immediately."

As soon as Shen Tingzhi finished speaking, Ainuer Linghua turned around and handed the antidote to Aqi.

"Thank you for the antidote, Second Young Master. Aqi, please send the antidote back quickly and have someone give it to Yin Shuang."

Aqi took the medicine reluctantly, slowly turned around and handed it to the person next to him, and ordered: "Send the antidote back."

In fact, in Aqi's heart, he didn't want Yinshuang to get the antidote and survive.

In Aqi's heart, he hoped to take this opportunity to kill Yin Shuang and completely solve this trouble.

When Yin Shuang came back poisoned last night, Aqi was actually the happiest one. He even thought that this was God's punishment for Yin Shuang, causing her to die of the poison in Yunli.

So he didn't want to save Yin Shuang at all, let alone let her survive.

Because as long as Yin Shuang is around, Ainuer Linghua will never be able to live like a normal person.

Yin Shuang was the instigator of the plan that caused Ainuer Linghua to lose control and to make Ainuer Linghua give up and revive the prosperity of the Beihai Palace.

This abnormal and immoral love between them was destined to have no result and was destined to destroy Ainuer Linghua.

As a loyal follower of the former King of the North Sea, this was something that Archie absolutely could not tolerate or accept.

But now the situation has changed. In order to prevent Ainuer Linghua from losing control, Aqi can only choose to let Yinshuang survive temporarily.

I can only wait for another opportunity and find a way to get rid of Yin Shuang.

Seeing the guard take the medicine away, Ainuer Linghua finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He turned around, looked at Shen Tingzhi and said, "Okay, Mr. Shen, now we can sit down and have a good talk."

"Just tell me what you want. As long as it's something I, Ainur Linghua, can do, I'll definitely do it."

"Okay, since Third Master is so straightforward, I'll get straight to the point."

"My conditions are actually very simple. Third Master can definitely do it. It's just a matter of whether you are willing to do it or not."

Shen Tingzhi smiled gently at this time, but in the eyes of Ainuer Linghua, his smile was terrifying and chilling.

"Since the death of the old Beihai King, the Beihai Palace has gradually declined and is no longer as powerful as it once was. I guess the Beihai Palace has not had a good time in Xirong these years, right?"

"Water flows to the lowest places, and people go to the highest places. This is human nature."

"The Third Master has endured humiliation and hardship in Yunli for so many years. I guess it's also to make the Beihai Palace prosperous again, right?"

Shen Tingzhi's words made Ainuer Linghua and Aqi's hearts beat faster. They left their hometown and came to Yunli, unable to show their true faces. They endured humiliation and made compromises just to ensure that the Beihai Palace could survive in Xirong and not be invaded and divided up.

But they have been in Yunli for more than ten years, suffering all kinds of hardships and grievances, but with little results.

Now that the second young master of the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion has spoken out what they have been eagerly waiting for, how can they not be excited?

Shen Tingzhi naturally noticed the changes in Ainuer Linghua and Aqi. The bait thrown out had attracted the fish, and the next step was to wait for the fish to take the bait.

"My conditions are actually very simple. I am willing to let you and Ainuer Jiyue return to Xirong, and I can help you fight for the throne, so that Ainuer Jiyue can sit on the throne of your Xirong people."

The conditions proposed by Shen Tingzhi were indeed too tempting. The Beihai Palace was now really only holding on with one breath.

To put it bluntly, the Beihai Palace could be swallowed up by others at any time.

If the situation had not been so critical that it was out of control, how could their brothers and nephews have left their hometown and come to Yunli.

In order to conceal his identity, he disguised himself as a woman and survived?

But there is no free lunch in the world. Ainuer Linghua is very clear about this truth. Shen Tingzhi would never do this out of kindness, but simply to help their Beihai Palace.

"The Second Young Master has put forward such tempting conditions. I wonder what he wants?"

Shen Tingzhi smiled and said, "All I want is to support your Beihai Palace to sit on the throne, and then the two countries can temporarily sign a peace treaty."

"Whether it's Yunli or Xirong, everyone can have a chance to recuperate. There will be no more wars, and the people can be spared the suffering of war."

"My Zhenbei Marquisate is the most prestigious military family in Yunli, and your Beihai Palace is the most prestigious military family in Xirong. No one understands better than us the damage that war has brought to the entire country and its people."

"So we should all give each other a chance to stop the war. Do you think I'm right?"

Shen Tingzhi's words made Ainuer Linghua fall into deep thought.

No matter what Shen Tingzhi's purpose was in saying these words at this time, it is undeniable that Shen Tingzhi was not wrong in what he said.

Although the Beihai Palace is indeed the number one military family in Xirong, his ancestors gained their honors and status through military exploits.

But by their generation, those methods of gaining status through force no longer have any advantages.

Because of a family genetic disease, all the men in their family have weak and sickly constitutions.

Even Ainuer Jiuyue, who did not inherit any family diseases and seemed to be in good health, was actually a sickly person.

The main reason why Ainuer Jiuyue came to Yunli was actually because of his physical condition.

Compared with Xirong, Yunli's climate is much milder. There is no cold wind blowing all day long, and no yellow sand everywhere.

The soil and environment of Yunli are very suitable for a frail and sick person to recuperate.

Moreover, whether it was Ainuer Linghua's deceased elder brother, or his second brother who also endured humiliation in Yunli, including himself and Ainuer Jiuyue, they all hated war and bloodshed extremely.

Their Beihai Palace had once experienced an extremely dark and miserable time.

The people of their clan have fallen to the lowest level of the people. Like the ordinary people, they were driven away and enslaved because of the war.

I have seen with my own eyes and experienced firsthand the despair and helplessness of ordinary people.

If they had a choice, they in the Beihai Palace would rather not have war.

Ainuer Linghua looked up at Shen Tingzhi and said, "The conditions proposed by Second Master Shen are indeed very tempting to me, but this matter is not something I can decide on my own."

"Could you please give me three days, Mr. Shen? I need to go meet someone and discuss things with him, then I'll come back and give you an answer."

Shen Tingzhi naturally knew who Ainuer Linghua was going to meet.

"The person that Third Master wants to meet should be able to be seen tomorrow, so there is no need to rush, just wait here."

Ainuer Linghua suddenly looked up and looked at Shen Tingzhi, her eyes filled with disbelief, confusion and suspicion.

Facing Ainur Linghua's gaze, Shen Tingzhi remained calm. He picked up the tea on the table, took a few sips, and then said calmly, "The person you are looking for should be your brother, Ainur Jinghe, who is disguised as a woman like you."

"He has already been taken into custody by our people and will be sent here tomorrow. This way, you two brothers can reminisce about the pain of separation over the years."

"We can also have a good discussion about whether or not you should accept my terms."

Shen Tingzhi's words completely shattered Ainuer Linghua's only remaining fantasy. He knew very well at this time that no matter what Shen Tingzhi's purpose was, he and the Beihai Palace had to accept such conditions. They had no way out.

If they agreed, they, the Beihai Palace, would still have a chance to survive, but if they refused, they would definitely be dead.

"Oh, there's one more thing I want to tell Third Master. Lord Zhou Haibei is now mine."

The reason why Shen Tingzhi mentioned Zhou Haibei was because he guessed that Zhou Haibei should be the person Ainuer Linghua was talking to.

Saying that Zhou Haibei was already his man was just a way to increase the pressure on Ainuer Linghua.

All his people have been recruited by him. Now that he has no external support or help, it is time for him to think carefully about what to do.

Shen Tingzhi's words undoubtedly dealt another heavy blow to Ainuer Linghua.

Zhou Haibei is not completely unrelated to him and the Beihai Palace.

Strictly speaking, they are also brothers, but they are half-brothers with the same father.

Zhou Haibei is the illegitimate son of Ainur Linghua's father. Many years ago, in order to prevent Zhou Haibei from dying in Xirong because of his special status, his father sent him to Yunli.

Now not only has Zhou Haibei's identity been discovered, but he has also surrendered to the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, which means that their Beihai Palace has lost its last trump card.

Shen Tingzhi had no idea what Ainur Linghua was thinking, and he had no idea what Zhou Haibei's true identity was.

However, Ainuerling's misunderstanding had invisibly tied him up in a net, making him sink deeper and deeper into it, unable to extricate himself.

"Yu Sheng, go and prepare a place for the Third Master to live." After Shen Tingzhi said this, he got up and left.

Shen Tingzhi left, but Ainuer Linghua was like being struck by lightning, sitting there motionless.

Ainuer Linghua is a very conceited person. He has worked hard in Yunli for so many years and believes that his plans and actions are flawless and cannot be seen through.

But now, everything he had was presented to Shen Tingzhi without reservation. He had no cover and no trump cards. What else could he do except surrender?

Seeing that Ainur Linghua didn't move, Yu Sheng said, "Third Master, the room has been prepared for you, and Prince Jiyue is waiting for you there."

"It's late now. You should go with me to rest. Otherwise, when your brother comes tomorrow, you won't have the energy to reminisce with him."

Yu Sheng is also a person who is good at hurting people's hearts. He says harsh words and will never miss any opportunity to make things difficult for his opponents.
