The Return of the King: A Generation of Prodigies

This actual combat, which made the soldiers of Xishan Camp extremely excited, was over in less than half an hour.

It makes people feel powerless as if their excitement is in vain. After all, the opponent's strength is too poor, and they have no experience at all.

Looking at the battle in front of him, which ended with his side suffering no casualties while the other side suffered heavy casualties, Yan Yu felt unsatisfied.

But it is not time for them to celebrate yet, because greater tests are waiting for them.

Yan Yu ordered the soldiers to clean up the battlefield and take the rebels who had surrendered and laid down their weapons back to the Xishan camp for detention. Their destination would be decided after the matter was over.

Looking at the cleaned battlefield, Yan Yu said to the soldiers lined up in front of him, "Everyone has worked hard, but there is a more severe battle waiting for us."

"All of you stay here, stand by, and be prepared for a major battle."

"Yes." The soldiers' answers shook the soil on the hillside nearby.

"Send another 10,000 people over here to stay on standby, awaiting orders and ready to depart at any time." Yan Yu turned around and instructed Chu Mingyu.

"Yes, General, rest assured, I will complete the mission."

That's right, Yan Yu changed his plan temporarily. After he led his men to eliminate all of Li Chaohui's private soldiers, he planned to let these soldiers in the Xishan camp take over.

When Li Chaohui raises his army to start a rebellion, they can cooperate with the outside forces to make Li Chaohui suffer a great loss and capture her and her accomplices in one fell swoop.

As for those people hiding in Shangjing City, Shen Tianjiao and Yan Yu had no intention of moving.

If those people were to be moved at this time, it would inevitably cause a panic, and Li Chaohui and her accomplices would be aware of it and start to be on guard.

Then things will be troublesome.

Since those people are willing to follow Li Zhaohui to their death, then let them fulfill their wish and let them be buried with Li Zhaohui.

Yan Yu ended a great battle and eliminated a major hidden danger. Shen Tianjiao was also very busy in Shangjing.

Because some people in Shangjing City have been infected and have been invaded by the poisonous powder, causing high fever.

Therefore, Shen Tianjiao organized the people from the Imperial Hospital to distribute the antidote they had prepared and the antidote sent from Ziyun Villa to the people in Shangjing City.

After everyone takes it, those who are sick can be cured, and those who are healthy can protect themselves.

Originally, Shen Tianjiao thought that she could just let the people around her do this, but Ruan Yuhu insisted that she must do it herself.

Ruan Yuhu's reason was that this was an unprecedented opportunity to appease the people and establish his prestige among the people.

After this incident, it will be of great help to Shen Tianjiao's administration and Li Muyang's ascension to the throne in the future.

So because of Ruan Yuhu's insistence, Shen Tianjiao had no choice but to go to the capital to comfort the people despite her injuries.

In fact, Ruan Yuhu was thinking more long-term. She wanted Shen Tianjiao not only to be a regent queen, but also to become the empress dowager who would assist the emperor behind the scenes in the future.

What she wanted was for Shen Tianjiao to replace Li Rui and become Yunli's first empress before Li Muyang was able to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the country.

Although Li Muyang is now the legitimate prince, the future heir to the throne, and the only candidate to succeed him.

But this child is still too young and he cannot bear the future of this country.

Li Muyang is still young. Even if he ascends the throne, he cannot rule the country before he reaches adulthood.

If he cannot rule the country himself, he can only be the emperor in name only, but the political power will still be in the hands of powerful ministers.

Rather than letting power be in the hands of those powerful officials and being controlled everywhere, it is better to hand over power to your own mother.

At least his own mother wouldn't think of harming him, taking away his power, or making things difficult for him and forcing him to please others.

Also, although Shen Tianjiao could do it, she was the empress dowager who held great power and influence behind her son.

But directing people to do things from behind is ultimately not as good as giving orders directly yourself.

Yunli is now in a period of rapid development and needs the leadership of a courageous and visionary decision-maker.

Ruan Yuhu has seen in Shen Tianjiao what she wanted to see, that is, courage, foresight, boldness and ability.

These are all essential qualities that a king must have. Only with these qualities can he lead the country to become truly strong.

It is actually not surprising that Ruan Yuhu has such foresight. Although Yunli has never produced an empress, there were several empresses in the previous dynasty.

Each of those empresses was a powerful figure, and they had very different views on their behavior, politics and military affairs.

The decisions she makes are no worse than those made by men.

Since the previous dynasty could have a queen, why couldn’t Yun Li have one?

Li Chaohui's biggest dream in this life is to replace him, sit on the throne and become the first empress of Yunli, and her name will be recorded in history forever.

Judging from the attitudes of the court officials and the people, they don't seem to object to Yunli having an empress. Then, since the court officials and the people can accept Li Chaohui, who is unworthy of the position, as the empress, why can't Shen Tianjiao be accepted?

Shen Tianjiao is virtuous, fair in her work, has political foresight, and military acumen. She is a hundred times better than Li Chaohui in every aspect, and is the perfect person to be Yunli's queen.

Ruan Yuhu had already made up his mind, so he would naturally spare no effort to build momentum for Shen Tianjiao.

She wanted to let everyone in Yunli know how good Shen Tianjiao was as the regent queen.

Let Shen Tianjiao gradually replace Li Chaohui and become the irreplaceable queen in Yun Liren's heart.

It has to be said that Ruan Yuhu was the visionary man. When Shen Tianjiao appeared in Shangjing City with the medical officers of the Imperial Hospital and personally distributed medicines to the poisoned people, all the people in Shangjing City were shocked.

Never mind the emperor, even the officials were above the common people.

They don't care about the life or death of the people.

But now, the noble queen, who was like a fairy sitting on the clouds in the hearts of the people, actually came to administer medicine to the people in person, regardless of her own safety, because of the poisoning in the city.

The people were so excited that they could not believe their eyes when they learned that these medicines were personally supervised by the Empress Dowager and were made overnight by the imperial doctors of the Imperial Medical Bureau.

The people's gratitude is difficult to describe in words, and many people burst into tears and cried uncontrollably.

Shen Tianjiao looked at the people crying in front of her, and finally understood Ruan Yuhu's good intentions in asking her to come here today.

If the army is the backbone of this country, then the people are the firm support of this country. The two complement each other.

The existence of the army is to protect these people, so that they can live and work in peace, without suffering from war and being bullied.

The people provided the army with essential backup, supplying all the army's needs, allowing these backbones of Yunli to sleep peacefully and fight bravely for the country on the front lines.

This is the prosperous scene that Shen Tianjiao hopes to see. In her previous life, it was for such a scene that she led her soldiers to fight to the death on the battlefield.

In order to protect this scene, Shen Tianjiao is willing to give everything in this life.

There are too many people in Shangjing City, and it is impossible and unrealistic for everyone to get an antidote pill.

Finally, Shen Tianjiao accepted Doctor Wang's suggestion, dissolved the detoxification pills, and put them into the large and small wells in Shangjing City. In this way, people could achieve the detoxification effect by drinking the water from the wells.

Although this detoxification effect is not as good as taking the detoxification medicine directly, the effect will be the same if it is taken several times.

By the time we finished all this, it was completely dark.

Although Shen Tianjiao didn't do anything today, she was exhausted. It was more tiring than doing any heavy work or fighting a big battle.

This grand event in which the king and the people shared hardships together finally ended with many voices of gratitude and praise.

Shen Tianjiao dragged her tired body and went back to the palace.

Shen Tianjiao almost did not sleep last night, and participated in such a big event today. By the time Shen Tianjiao sat in the carriage, she was already drowsy.

Shen Tianjiao didn’t want to think about anything now. She just wanted to go back to the palace quickly, take a good bath and go to bed. She also wanted to heal the injured foot.

After running around all day, Shen Tianjiao's injury worsened and the pain was unbearable. She had to go back quickly to get treatment.

But even in this state, Shen Tianjiao still remained vigilant. This was a habit she had developed over many years in her previous life, and she could not change it even in another life.

Shen Tianjiao, who was leaning against the backrest of the carriage with her eyes closed, suddenly sensed a hint of danger.

A faint smell of blood drifted in from outside the carriage. Shen Tianjiao opened her eyes. She was familiar with that unpleasant smell of blood.

This should be a professional killer in the underworld. He has a unique smell on him. In her previous life, her political enemies and enemies hired many such killers to deal with her in order to prevent her from living.

Shen Tianjiao turned her head and looked towards the car window. It seemed that someone was already impatient and wanted to attack her.

She sneered. Since these people were here, she had to make them pay a price today, otherwise they would think she was easy to bully and would come to cause trouble for her from time to time.

She is very busy now and has no time to waste with these little rascals.

"Xia He, stay in the carriage and don't go anywhere. No matter what noise you hear, stay in the carriage."

Among the girls around Shen Tianjiao, apart from Dongyang, Xia He has the weakest martial arts foundation.

Xia He was not able to handle the situation tonight. Instead of letting her go out and cause trouble, it would be better to let her stay quietly in the carriage.

"Master." After hearing what Shen Tianjiao said, Xia He suddenly became nervous. She knew that danger was coming.

"Okay, don't say anything. Just stay still if I tell you to."

Shen Tianjiao used a commanding tone because she knew that if she spoke to Xia He in a nice way at this moment, it would lead to endless entanglement.

But if she used a commanding tone, Xia He would probably shut up and obey.

Sure enough, after Shen Tianjiao gave Xia He the order, Xia He immediately shut up and stopped talking.

Shen Tianjiao could sense the approaching danger, and naturally the secret guards and bodyguards who were protecting her could also sense the danger.

The coachman pulled the reins and stopped the horse.

"Master, you..." The person outside was interrupted by Shen Tianjiao before he could finish his words. "I understand. Just do what you need to do. Don't worry about me."

"Yes." As soon as the voice outside fell, the sound of swords being drawn was heard. The sound was particularly creepy in the silent night.

Soon, the guards outside started fighting with the group of people who came to cause trouble.

Shen Tianjiao listened to the sounds outside and guessed the situation outside. It seemed that someone had spent a lot of money this time. The group of people outside who came to cause trouble were obviously a group of masters.

If they could fight with the guards and secret guards around her to this extent, these people must be quite capable.

Listening to the fighting outside, Shen Tianjiao suddenly felt a little irritated. If this endless fight did not end, she would not be able to go back and rest quickly.

The physical fatigue made her mood terrible.

Without any hesitation, Shen Tianjiao immediately stood up and decided to join the fight, so that it could end as soon as possible and she could go back to rest.

When Xia He saw Shen Tianjiao stand up, she immediately became nervous and stood up as well.

Shen Tianjiao turned around and gave Xia He a murderous look, which made her scared. She obediently returned to her seat and didn't dare to move again.

After seeing Xia He sit back down, Shen Tianjiao lifted the car curtain and went out.

The guards guarding the carriage outside were shocked when they saw Shen Tianjiao coming out, and hurried forward to protect her.

But Shen Tianjiao stopped him, "Stand still, and give me a handy knife."

The guard closest to Shen Tianjiao was stunned for a moment, and then, as if possessed by a demon, handed the knife in his hand over.

Shen Tianjiao took the knife and waved it in her hand. Although it was not very convenient, it could be used.

So Shen Tianjiao, with a weapon in her hand, flew out and joined the fight.

However, in just a moment, two of the opponents had fallen under Shen Tianjiao's knife.

This made the group of people start to wonder, could this female evil spirit in front of them really be Yun Li’s queen?

Could it be that their plan was exposed ahead of time, and the real Shen Tianjiao had been replaced, and the person standing in front of them who could kill people with a knife was a fake?

Shen Tianjiao's fighting ability is indeed extraordinary. With her joining, the two sides soon have a distinction between the strong and the weak.
