The Return of the King: A Generation of Prodigies

"How about this? I'll give you the recipe for this detoxification pill, and then I'll write you a new, lower-end version."

"This low-end detoxification pill recipe, although the drugs used are not that expensive, its detoxification effect is also very good."

These detoxification pills were all made by Duan Qingning. She naturally knew that these detoxification pills she made were only suitable for a small group of people.

If they are to be produced and used in large quantities, it would not be feasible, because the detoxification pills she made are the top-level high-end version. If they are produced in large quantities, there may not even be enough medicinal materials needed.

The low-end version of the formula she was going to give Ruan Yuhu didn't mean that the detoxification effect was very low, but that this low-end version was only compared to the level of a poison-making master like Duan Qingning.

These are just low-end detoxification pills for Duan Qingning, but they are already very good detoxification pills for others.

"That's perfect. You tell me and I'll write."

Ruan Yuhu naturally would not refuse such a good thing. She didn't need anyone to serve her, and she went to get paper, ink, pen and inkstone herself, waiting to write down Duan Qingning's words.

Soon, a prescription was produced, which was dictated by Duan Qingning and written by Ruan Yuhu himself.

Yu Po found the medicine box and was assigned a new task by Ruan Yuhu as soon as he came out.

"Yupo, have someone take these two prescriptions to see Doctor Wang and tell him to make the pills according to the prescriptions. The more the better."

No one knows now how far this plague will develop and how many people will be infected, so it is always a good idea to prepare more antidote pills.

"Yes." Yu Po walked to the door and whistled softly, and a black shadow fell from the sky.

Yu Po handed the prescription in his hand to him and repeated it to him in a gibberish. Then the black shadow disappeared with the prescription.

Yu Po returned to the room and, worried about Shen Tianjiao and her two children, said without waiting for Ruan Yuhu to speak: "Grandfather, it's time to set off."

"Okay, Madam Duan is leaving now." Ruan Yuhu turned around and looked at Yupo and said, "You will personally send Madam Duan to the city gate."

Ruan Yuhu is now afraid that Li Chaohui will target him, and if something unexpected happens, the best opportunity to treat Shen Tianjiao and her son will be delayed.

"Yes." Yupo bowed slightly towards Ruan Yuhu, then turned around and said to Duan Qingning, "Mrs. Duan, please come in."

Duan Qingning didn't say much. He handed his hand to Yu Po and asked Yu Po to support him as he walked out of the house and got into the carriage that had been prepared long ago.

After Duan Qingning got on the carriage, Yu Po temporarily acted as the coachman and drove the carriage away slowly.

Ruan Yuhu kept watching the moving carriage until it completely disappeared. Then she withdrew her gaze and began to think about her next move.

Yu Po drove the carriage smoothly out of the imperial city and all the way to the city gate. After leaving the city gate, Yu Po could no longer accompany him.

She had to go back quickly and complete her own mission.

"Mrs. Duan, I can only take you here." Yu Po lifted the curtain of the carriage and said to Duan Qingning inside.

"But don't worry, I've already arranged for people to accompany you and protect you. They will pick me up and take you safely to your destination."

"Well, you can go back." Duan Qingning was very calm about Yu Po's departure.

After all, she doesn't care at all whether there is anyone protecting her or not.

She herself is an expert in making and using poisons, so she naturally carries a lot of good stuff with her. If she really meets someone who is ignorant on the road, she can let them experience what it feels like to have to live but not be able to die.

After all, she couldn't ruin the reputation of their Lin Palace as the world's number one drug maker, right?

Yu Po looked at the carriage, which gradually turned into a small dot. Finally, after it completely disappeared, she turned around and went back.

But what Yu Po never expected was that as soon as she turned around, the carriage that Duan Qingning was riding in was attacked.

The carriage was moving well, but the driver suddenly braked, which made Duan Qingning realize that he had really encountered a blind man.

"Leave the carriage and its occupants behind, and the rest of you may go."

A man's low, hoarse, and unpleasant voice was heard outside the carriage.

"You are so arrogant! If you dare to block our way, you should know where we come from."

"You dare to stop us? Aren't you afraid of death?"

How could the two secret guards sitting outside the carriage acting as coachmen give up their mission of escorting Duan Qingning to Ziyun Villa safely just because they were afraid of death?

"Hmph!" The man opposite sneered and said disdainfully, "Kings, princes, generals, and ministers are all of a different breed. The throne has been passed down from generation to generation since ancient times."

"Today the surname is Shen, tomorrow the dynasty will change."

"Since I've given you the chance, but you're unwilling to leave and insist on taking your own lives, then I'll grant your wish."

When the secret guard heard this, how could he not know that the group of people in front of him must be Li Chaohui's men.

This group of people deliberately blocked them here tonight, which means that they have been targeted since they left the imperial city, otherwise this group of people would not have appeared here by chance.

Both sides serve their own masters, so there is nothing much to say. Just draw your swords and fight.

As soon as the secret guard drew out his knife, a group of people came from not far away. They were all responsible for protecting Duan Qingning in secret.

These secret guards have all been specially trained, and their fighting power is extraordinary. Although the other side has more than ten times more people than them, they are not afraid to retreat.

Their motto is to rather die standing than live on their knees.

Only death can make them withdraw from the battle. Otherwise, even at the moment of death, they will not put down their knives and give up their mission.

So a killing began. One side was fearless due to its large numbers, while the other side was not afraid at all due to its excellent kung fu skills.

A fierce fight broke out. Outside, both sides were already inseparable, but Duan Qingning in the carriage was not affected at all and was drinking tea leisurely.

Yunli's tea is better than Nanchu's tea. The longer you drink it, the more intoxicating it becomes.

"General, there's a sound of fighting ahead."

The person who spoke was none other than Qin Gang who was following Yan Yu.

The great general that Qin Gang mentioned was none other than Yan Yu.

There is a reason why Yan Yu, who was supposed to stay in the northern border, suddenly appeared here.

Bai Qishan has now almost completed what Shen Tianjiao instructed him to do in the Northern Frontier.

He would personally report to Shen Tianjiao what to do next.

What he did in the Northern Frontier was already a state secret, so it was not something that could be mentioned in a letter.

Someone needs to go back to Beijing in person to report to Shen Tianjiao in person, and then proceed to the next step after receiving instructions.

Originally, Bai Qishan should have come back in person to handle this matter, but unfortunately, just before leaving, he fell off the horse while trying to tame a wild horse he found in the wild, and suffered extensive fractures all over his body.

Now even if he wanted to return to Beijing, there was no way for him to come back.

So after Bai Qishan thought about it and hesitated for a long time, he gave this opportunity to Yan Yu.

Yan Yu is Yan Mingde's son, and was sent to Northern Xinjiang by Shen Tianjiao's personal order.

This also shows that Yan Yu is someone Shen Tianjiao trusts very much. Since Bai Qishan himself cannot return to Shangjing, this task naturally falls on Yan Yu.

When Yan Yu learned that Bai Qishan asked him to return to Shangjing and report the situation in the northern border to Shen Tianjiao in person, he was shocked.

Although he had always wanted to return to Shangjing as soon as possible to meet Shen Tianjiao and confirm his guess.

But when the thing he had been thinking about really came to him, Yan Yu was afraid and he didn't dare to do it.

General Yan, who fought on the battlefield without caring about his life, became a deserter when it came to the matter of meeting Shen Tianjiao.

But whether he was willing or not, he was eventually pushed by Bai Qishan on the journey back to Shangjing.

They hurried and finally arrived tonight.

Because it was too late and the city gates were closed, Yan Yu ordered his troops to stay on the spot and set up camp at Wulipu, not far from the city gates, to rest and wait until the next day when the city gates were opened before entering the capital.

Others are afraid of returning home, but Yan Yu is afraid of seeing Shen Tianjiao, so he has been feeling uneasy and worried all the way.

We have reached the city gate. We will enter Shangjing tomorrow. Once we enter Shangjing, we will immediately go to the palace to see Shen Tianjiao, the queen regent, and report to her about the situation in the northern border.

It would be strange if Yan Yu could sleep at this time.

Yan Yu, who couldn't sleep, wandered around and acted as a guard. If Yan Yu didn't sleep, Qin Gang naturally couldn't sleep peacefully either. Of course, Qin Gang would accompany Yan Yu wherever he went.

Although Yan Yu didn't say anything, Qin Gang was not blind. Seeing Yan Yu's recent abnormal behavior, he knew that Yan Yu had something on his mind, and it was a big thing.

So Qin Gang, who was worried about Yan Yu, naturally wanted to stay up all night with Yan Yu and guard him so that the others could sleep peacefully.

As luck would have it, the two men who stayed up all night to act as guards happened to encounter this dispute so easily.

Yan Yu couldn't help but frown when he heard the fierce fighting sounds not far away. This place was not far from the city gate, but some people dared to gather here to fight.

It seems that the situation in Shangjing City is really as unstable as rumored by the outside world.

"Wake up our people, let's join in the fun."

No matter who the two parties in the fight are, Yan Yu is bound to join in the fun.

At Yan Yu's command, his men gathered together as quickly as possible.

"Let's go!" Yan Yu waved his hand, and everyone got on their horses and got ready to go.

Yan Yu rode forward on his horse, and the people behind him followed closely.

The two groups that were fighting fiercely stopped fighting and fell into confusion when they heard the loud sound of horse hooves.

I don’t know whether the person coming is an enemy or a friend.

"I am Yan Yu, the Great General of the Tiger and Cavalry. Who is fighting in front? Tell me your name!"

"This is a strategic location for entering and leaving Shangjing. How dare you defy the Emperor's authority and fight here? Do you really want to die?"

As soon as Yan Yu finished speaking, someone from the secret guards on the opposite side responded, "General Yan, we are the secret guards of the Empress, and we have been ordered to come out to perform official duties."

"These people across from us are all Li Zhaohui's traitors. Please ask General Yan to help us kill them."

When Yan Yu heard that the person shouting was the secret guard responsible for protecting Shen Tianjiao, and the people fighting with them were Li Chaohui's men, he immediately entered combat mode.

He waved his hand behind him, and the well-trained soldiers behind him immediately understood his intention. They immediately rode their horses and scattered in all directions, surrounding both groups.

"Everyone, don't move. Anyone who dares to move will be killed on the spot!"

Yan Yu is not so stupid as to believe everything others say.

Although some people said that they were the secret guards around Shen Tianjiao and were carrying out official duties under Shen Tianjiao's orders, Yan Yu did not dare to be careless before he found out the truth.

"General Yan, all of your subordinates will remain where they are, but please send someone to safely escort the people in this carriage to Ziyun Villa."

"The carriage is carrying a highly skilled doctor, and she's rushing to Ziyun Villa to save someone."

Yan Yu's father, Yan Mingde, was the commander of the Yulin Guard, and the Secret Guard was nominally under the jurisdiction of the Yulin Guard, so it was not wrong for them to claim to be Yan Yu's subordinates.

These secret guards knew very well that this mission was very important. They could stay, but the people in the carriage could not stay here.

When Yan Yu heard what the secret guards said, his heart sank. He knew about Ziyun Villa and its current owner, Li Xian, who had the most special identity among the Yunli people.

If this carriage is going to Ziyun Villa, then the person who just spoke is most likely telling the truth.

"Go and drive the carriage over." Yan Yu gave an order, and one of his personal guards immediately drove the carriage over.

Yan Yu walked to the carriage, opened the curtain, and saw an old lady sitting inside with her eyes closed, but with a calm expression and extraordinary temperament.

The fighting outside was already like this, but this old lady could still remain so calm and composed. I guess she is not an ordinary person.

Yan Yu lowered the carriage curtain, lowered his head and thought for a moment, then instructed Qin Gang, "You take your men to stay and deal with these people. I, the general, will personally escort them to Ziyun Villa."

Regardless of whether what those people said just now was true or false, or what they were up to, Yan Yu had booked the trip to Ziyun Villa.

"General, let me go for you." Qin Gang didn't dare to take the risk of letting Yan Yu go to Ziyun Villa alone.

Although he had no idea what Ziyun Villa was.
