The Return of the King: A Generation of Prodigies

Su Wenhao was stunned for a moment, but then returned to normal.

His grandfather did all kinds of evil things in his life. Although he looked kind, he was actually a man-eating devil.

For the glory of the Su family and his own greed, he has killed countless people in his life.

There are many people who want to seek revenge on him, and it is not surprising that some people want his life.

The only thing that made Su Wenhao curious was who had such great face that the Queen could personally avenge her.

"I understand."

Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor. If you do too much evil, you will eventually receive your retribution.

Su Wenhao knew very well that this was the retribution for his grandfather, and no one could stop it.

Seeing that Su Wenhao didn't ask any questions, Shen Tianjiao tacitly agreed to the matter. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart that Su Wenhao was indeed a man who knew how to deal with things.

It seems that I can let him do what he should do.

"After you return, let your father leave Shangjing. I will send someone to take him to Bailu Academy to reunite with your mother and family."

"As for you." Shen Tianjiao looked up at Su Wenhao and said, "I have an important matter for you to attend to. Of course, I will give you time to consider it. As for whether to go or not, it's up to you to decide."

Upon hearing this, Su Wenhao quickly knelt down again and said, "I am willing to serve the Queen, no matter what it is. I am willing to die for you."

"Hmph." Shen Tianjiao chuckled and said, "You Mo Wen answered so easily. What I want you to do is indeed extremely dangerous and involves a high risk of death."

"If you do it well, your name will be passed down through the ages. If you don't do it well, you will die in a foreign land and your body will not even be able to be buried in your homeland."

"So, you should first listen to what I want you to do and think it over carefully. Then tell me whether you want to accept this mission or not."

"Yes, I understand. Please give me your instructions, Your Majesty."

At this moment, Su Wenhao did not feel uneasy or frightened because of Shen Tianjiao's words. Instead, he was vaguely excited.

Shen Tianjiao sent him a dangerous but challenging signal, which was an opportunity for him to start anew and shine in his failed and gloomy life.

Even if this matter really means that he will be cut into pieces and die a miserable death, he is willing to rush into the fire and do it with all his might.

Su Wenhao's temperament is far from being as docile as he appears. In fact, he is an adventurer at heart who likes exciting, dangerous and challenging things.

He used to be well-behaved because the environment he faced did not allow him to do what he wanted to do. He could only suppress his nature and hide his true self so that he could ensure the safety of his family.

But now the shackles that bound him have fallen off him, and he no longer needs to worry about the safety of his family.

Now he has to be himself and live for himself.

"No matter what the Queen asks me to do, I don't have to think about it. I am willing to do it."

"I have only one request when I go here, and that is to ask the Queen to protect the safety of my family."

"Even if I die in a foreign land in the future and my remains are gone, I will have no complaints."

All Su Wenhao wanted in his life was the safety of his family.

Although the Queen said that she would let her family leave Shangjing, a dangerous place, and live a peaceful life, but without the protection of the Su family, how could their family's life be any better?

Because even if the Su family has declined and fallen, no one will believe that their family will really become impoverished. Those who have ulterior motives will not let them go at this time.

Besides, their family is not really poor. Su Wenhao's mother comes from a merchant family and is born with the talent for business.

Over the years, thanks to Mrs. Su's business methods, their family cannot be said to be as rich as a country, but they are one of the few wealthy people.

Having money is not scary, what is scary is having money but no backing and protection. If there is no one to back and protect them, they will be like sheep to be slaughtered, and will end up with a miserable end.

Therefore, the more it is at this time, the more Su Wenhao needs Shen Tianjiao, a superior, to protect his family and escape danger safely.

With the Queen's protection, no one in the entire Yunli would dare to take action against them.

In addition to wanting to seek shelter for his family, Su Wenhao also sincerely wanted to do his part for Yun Li and Shen Tianjiao.

Su Wenhao has read all the books of sages since his childhood enlightenment until today. As a scholar, his heart is filled with a firm desire to serve the country.

He couldn't do it before because the Su family was blocking him. Now that there is no resistance, he is naturally willing to work hard and devote himself to Yun Li.

He knew very early on that Shen Tianjiao was a wise and holy ruler who could lead Yunli to become strong.

He also lamented that he was burdened by the Su family and would have no other choice but to help Yun Li under the leadership of Shen Tianjiao, the wise and holy ruler.

But now Shen Tianjiao is willing to give him this opportunity. Even if it is to repay the kindness, he is willing to take the risk to complete the task assigned by Shen Tianjiao.

It has to be said that Su Wenhao once again refreshed Shen Tianjiao's perception of him. This seemingly fair and weak scholar actually has such courage and bravery.

This is really different from those aristocratic families in the capital.

Since Su Wenhao said so, there was no need for Shen Tianjiao to leave her words half-said and half-remained.

"Since I, Yunli, founded the Western Rong nation, they have been a major concern for me for over a hundred years."

"Not only did they provoke wars on the border, they also abducted the people of Yunli and occupied our land."

"I even dreamed of one day leading my troops into Yunli, slaughtering all the people there, and taking everything in Yunli for myself."

"I absolutely cannot allow this to happen, so I must take precautions and resolve this matter before it even happens."

"Right now, there is a good opportunity. The two princes and one prince of the Xirong Beihai Palace are now in my hands."

"So." Shen Tianjiao suddenly stopped talking. She stared at Su Wenhao for a long time before speaking, "I need you to go to Xirong with the three of them."

"Your mission is not just to keep an eye on them and prevent them from going back on their word and destroying our alliance. More importantly, you are to help them seize the imperial power of the Western Rong."

"Destroy the existing Xirong regime and place their crown prince, Ainuer Jiyue, on the throne of the Xirong emperor."

"Now you can tell me, do you still want to go? Do you still dare to go?"

The task that Shen Tianjiao gave to Su Wenhao was indeed something Su Wenhao had never expected.

This task is indeed dangerous and challenging, and not everyone can do it.

But Su Wenhao didn't hesitate for even a second, and she nodded in agreement.

"Please rest assured, Queen, I will do my best to fulfill my mission and complete the task you have assigned me."

Su Wenhao agreed without even thinking about it, which surprised Shen Tianjiao. She couldn't help but admire Su Wenhao in her heart.

Yun Li needs someone like Su Wenhao, who is courageous and loyal.

"Okay, I promise you that no matter whether this succeeds or not, I will protect your family to the end."

"In Yunli's territory, no one dares to touch them."

"I, the humble servant, thank you for your great kindness, Your Majesty."

After getting what he wanted, Su Wenhao quickly knelt down to thank Shen Tianjiao.

If his family is protected, he can serve his country without any worries.

"Not only that, I will also grant you another favor."

Shen Tianjiao has always been very generous to her own people and never hesitates to show her grace.

"If you can successfully complete this matter, when you return, I will announce it to the world. Not only will I promote you to a higher position, but I will also allow you to establish a new family temple and a new family tree."

"The era of their Su family has completely ended with Su Chang, but a brand new era will begin with you."

"Even if this plan fails and you encounter misfortune, I will protect your son and raise him."

"And when he grows up, his status as a criminal will be abolished, allowing him to enter the court and serve openly."

Su Wenhao was not frightened by the dangerous plan just now, but he was frightened by Shen Tianjiao's words.

In other words, Su Wenhao didn't dare to believe what he had just heard. He was like a fool at this moment, and had completely lost the ability to speak and think.

"Empress, you, you, you..."

"Why, do you not believe what I said, or do you doubt that I have the ability to do what I just said?"

Looking at Su Wenhao who was standing there stupidly and couldn't even speak, Shen Tianjiao asked in a domineering tone.

"No, no, no, it's not."

Su Wenhao, who had come to his senses, felt weak all over. He sank to the ground and said, "I'm not questioning your ability, Your Majesty, nor do I disbelieve what you say."

"It's just that the grace you gave me was too great, and I didn't react at the moment."

"I beg your forgiveness, Queen. I thank you for your grace."

To be honest, Su Wenhao was indeed shocked, but it was not his fault, because since Yun left the country, no one had been able to receive such a great grace.

The descendants of ministers who plotted rebellion were not allowed to study within three generations and were not allowed to take the imperial examinations within five generations. This was an ironclad rule and no one had ever been able to change it.

Even if you are talented and have amazing talents, as long as you are the descendant of a traitor, you can only be a commoner.

But now the queen promised in person that she would forgive his entire family's sins and allow his son to take the imperial examination and become an official in the court.

This is not a piece of cake, it is a blessing from heaven.

"Okay, get up now, go back and make some arrangements, and take care of all the things in the mansion."

"Go to Bailu Academy with your father to meet your mother, wife, and children, and say goodbye to them."

"I will send someone to inform you when you leave, so I won't give you a farewell party then."

"Master Su, let's say goodbye now. May you be victorious and return safely."

"I will host a banquet for you to celebrate and welcome you."

"Your Majesty, Su Wenhao, hereby swears that I will do my utmost to complete the tasks assigned by Your Majesty, the Queen."

Su Wenhao kowtowed heavily to Shen Tianjiao, and the sound of his kowtow was nothing but his true feelings.

"Okay, get up and go back."

Shen Tianjiao left first as she still had a lot of things to deal with.

Su Wenhao was the only one left in the study, but at this moment, Su Wenhao still seemed to be in a dream and had not woken up.

He was still wondering if he had just had a dream, it all seemed too unreal.

But if she said it was a dream, it didn't seem right, because he was now limp all over and didn't even have the strength to get up.

This intuitive feeling from his body made him feel that he was not dreaming.

In short, Su Wenhao is now in a state of confusion and doubt, and he has no idea what is going on.

It wasn't until Xia He came in from outside that she saved Su Wenhao and brought him back to reality.

"Master Su, are you okay? The Queen has already left, why are you still kneeling here?"

Xia He was ordered to bring the imperial physician and wait outside, but after waiting for half a day, her master had been out for a long time, but Su Wenhao still did not come out.

Xia He had no choice but to rush in to see what was going on inside.

"Ah, oh, okay." Seeing Xia He, Su Wenhao finally woke up from the unreality that was switching back and forth.

"Master Su, please get up quickly. The imperial physician you want to take out of the palace has been waiting outside for a long time."

Seeing that Su Wenhao still didn't get up, Xia He urged him.

"Oh, okay." It's not that Su Wenhao didn't want to get up and leave, but he was so weak all over that he couldn't use any strength at all. Even if he wanted to stand up, he couldn't.

After trying again and again, Su Wenhao finally confirmed that he really couldn't get up.

He turned back to Xia He sheepishly, lowered his head and smiled, saying, "Excuse me, auntie, could you please ask one of the eunuchs serving outside to come in?"

"I am so weak all over now. I don't have the strength to stand up. I need someone to help me up."

Xia He looked at Su Wenhao in astonishment, her heart full of confusion. What on earth had her master said to this Lord Su that scared him so much that he didn't even have the strength to stand up?

But despite her curiosity, Xia He stepped forward and said, "Master Su is here to see the Empress today, and this cannot be known to outsiders."

"So if Master Su doesn't mind, how about I help Master Su up?"

Although this is Yuxiu Palace, there is still a certain risk if others see Su Wenhao appear here.
