The Return of the King: A Generation of Prodigies

After waiting for a long time until all the flatterers left, Yan Yu immediately gave Qin Gang a wink, and the two nodded to indicate that they were ready to run away.

Yan Yu took out the prepared powder rolled into strips from his sleeve, lit it with a fire stick, and threw it into the gap under the tent.

The biggest advantage of the powder roll made by Yan Yu is that it produces no smoke and no smell when burned, but the medicinal effect is very powerful. People will fall into a coma if they smell it for a long time, and the effect can last for up to three days.

Three days is enough time to do a lot of things, even to change the entire current situation.

During the retreat, Yan Yu and Qin Gang stumbled upon a horse farm. Besides the warhorses for the cavalry, there was also Ainur Xiong'an's mount, the Snow Jade Cong, a rare Arabian horse. Its snow-white body, without a single stray hair, made it the king of horses.

Yan Yu couldn't move when he looked at the Snow Jade Horse, his feet felt like they were nailed to the ground. This Snow Jade Horse had the same noble aura as his previous life's mount, the Ferghana Horse Huoyun.

Since ancient times, besides loving weapons, military generals also love BMWs. A good horse can not only accompany its master in fighting on the battlefield, but also understand the master's intentions spiritually and even save the master's life at important moments.

As a fellow military commander, Qin Gang knew what Yan Yu was thinking when he saw him looking at the Snow Jade Horse. "Sir, we can't take this horse with us today. Let's talk about it another day when we have the chance."

Ferghana horses like these have very strong temperaments and are very loyal. Usually, only their owners and the horse slaves who have taken care of them since childhood can get close to them. As for other unfamiliar people, they don't even have the chance to get close to them.

Therefore, if Yan Yu wanted to take the BMW away today, he would have absolutely no chance. If a commotion were to occur, not only would he not be able to take the horse away, but both of them would also have to leave behind.

Yan Yu did not answer. He was calculating in his mind how likely it was that he could take all these horses back. Yes, Yan Yu wanted not only Xue Yucong, he wanted all the horses in this stable. He had made up his mind today that he would not give up until he had plucked all the horses from Ainuer Xiong'an.

After a long journey, Ainuer Xiong'an is now exhausted. His vigilance and alertness are at their weakest. He missed this good opportunity today and may never have another chance in the future. What Yun Li lacks most now is war horses. Only with war horses can he establish a cavalry battalion and fight with these iron cavalry from the Northern Desert on the battlefield.

Yan Yu looked at Qin Gang, who was frightened by his gaze. "Sir, this is really not okay."

"How do you know if you don't try? Except for the snow-white Arabian horse, the rest of these horses are also good horses. It will be a shame to leave these horses to these bandits." No matter what, Yan Yu wanted to give it a try today and take all these horses back.

"Take them all back?" Qin Gang's eyes were bigger than copper bells. The young master was really skilled and bold, and dared to think of anything. There were only two of them now, two people, not twenty people, let alone two hundred people.

"Yes, take them all back." Yan Yu looked around to find out the situation around him. There were not many people guarding the horse farm, only a dozen or so.

I don’t know if it was because of the tight time or some other reason, but the horse farm that was supposed to be built in the middle of the camp was temporarily built in a remote area far away from the camp.

The terrain here is open and there are no obstacles. The exit is also very good. As long as these horses can be released, Yan Yu is confident that he can bring them back safely.

Qin Gang felt a headache as he watched Yan Yu. Following Yan Yu was truly thrilling, with unexpected events happening one after another. But why was he tempted to do as Yan Yu had suggested and take all the horses home? These horses were indeed fine; it would be a shame to leave them behind.

"Sir, even if we get the horses out successfully, how can we take so many of them back?" Qin Gang knows how to fight, but he doesn't know how to ride a horse at all.

"Don't worry, I know how to ride horses. I can bring them all back." In his previous life, Yan Yu had built the largest cavalry corps in Yunli Kingdom's history. He had even studied horse riding techniques to understand the habits of horses. Bringing these horses back would not be a difficult task for him.

When Qin Gang heard Yan Yu say that he could ride horses and take all the horses back, he stopped thinking about it and his thoughts immediately changed from doubt to determination.

Maybe even Qin Gang himself didn't realize that he didn't know when he started to have a blind confidence in Yan Yu, as if anything Yan Yu wanted to do would be accomplished, and anything Yan Yu said would be believable.

"Young Master, what should we do next?" Thinking is not Qin Gang's strong point, so it is better to let Yan Yu do it.

Yan Yu lowered his head and thought for a while, then looked up at Qin Gang and asked, "How can we contact Zhou Wang now?" They wanted to take these horses back, and of course they couldn't leave Zhou Wang alone.

"This is easy." Qin Gang took out a very small bone whistle from his waist belt. This was their unique way of communicating. As long as they blew the bone whistle, Zhou Wang would follow the sound and find them.

Qin Gang blew the bone whistle, and what came out of the bone whistle was a very pleasant bird song. The gentle and clear sound did not seem abrupt even in the dark night.

"Okay, although the sound of this bone whistle is small, Zhou Wang can hear it within a radius of ten miles. Once she hears it, she will naturally find the direction and come to find us." The problem that troubled Yan Yu was solved so easily by Qin Gang.

Yan Yu glanced at the bone whistle in Qin Gang's hand with great interest, but there were more important things to do right now. Yan Yu took out some incense and handed it to Qin Gang, saying, "Light it and throw it near the guards and the nearby tents. It won't be long before they fall asleep. Then we can take action."

"Will these drugs also knock out the horses?" Qin Gang asked doubtfully, looking at the drugs in his hand.

Yan Yu wanted to laugh after hearing this but he suppressed it, "No, this thing is only useful for humans, it has no effect on horses."

The horses in front of him were all very powerful war horses. They were taller than an adult man, so it was not easy to knock them out.

Qin Gang went to do something, and Yan Yu, who was free, walked quietly to the side of the Snow Jade Cong. He tentatively reached out to touch the Snow Jade Cong.

His original plan was to take Xue Yucong away if Xue Yucong didn't react much to him. If Xue Yucong resisted him, he would have no choice but to give up Xue Yucong with great reluctance.

However, to Yan Yu's surprise, Xue Yucong did not show any resistance to his approach. The little guy even lowered his head to lick his hand and then snorted.

This means that Yan Yu does not have to bear the pain of giving up the Snow Jade Cong, and he can take the Snow Jade Cong away.

Yan Yu reached out and hugged Xue Yucong's head, rubbed his head against it, and said, "Be good, I'll take you home later."

After Qin Gang finished doing what Yan Yu asked him to do and came back, Zhou Wang came soon after.

Seeing that everyone was gathered, Yan Yu felt a lot more relaxed.

"Sir, as you instructed, I have already put the poison powder into their water source. I was afraid that the effect would not be strong enough, so I used all the poison powder." Seeing Yan Yu, Zhou Wang hurriedly reported the progress of the matter to him.

"Good, well done." Yan Yu nodded approvingly. "Let's go. It should be about time. Brother Qin, go open the fence. I'll go in and take care of the Ferghana horse first. Then you two follow me and we'll go together."

Zhou Wang, who had just arrived and hadn't figured out the situation yet, turned his gaze to Qin Gang. Qin Gang received his gaze and said concisely, "Come on, follow me. The young master wants to take these horses back with him."

After receiving the order, Zhou Wang did not ask any more questions. He took out a box from outside, which contained the thunder bomb he had newly developed. Because it was newly developed, his effectiveness had not been tested yet, so today was a good time to try it out.

"What are you holding in your hand?" Qin Gang knew that Zhou Wang often tinkered with some strange things, but what was this black little egg today?

"Thunder bombs, I just made them. Captain, take a few too." Zhou Wang grabbed three or four thunder bombs and put them in Qin Gang's hands. "Captain, this thing is very easy to use. You just need to throw it hard and it will explode."

Qin Gang looked down at the thunder bomb in his hand, said nothing, and put it directly into his arms.

Yan Yu jumped over the fence and into the stables. He walked over to the Snow Jade Horse and gently stroked it, soothing it softly. "Be good, don't be afraid."

Yan Yu comforted the Snow Jade Horse while carefully riding on its back.

Unexpectedly, the Snow Jade Cong behaved very calmly. It did not become irritable or upset because Yan Yu was on its back.

Yan Yu's heart finally settled down. He pulled the reins and patted the Snow Jade Cong's butt, and the Snow Jade Cong began to walk slowly.

When the horses in the stable saw Snow Jade Cong coming, they all gave way to make way for it.

This scene amazed Yan Yu. It seemed that he had really found a treasure. He patted the Snow Jade Cong and sped up. When the Snow Jade Cong ran outside the fence, Yan Yu turned around and blew a whistle. The horses in the stable became agitated and then ran behind the Snow Jade Cong.

Qin Gang and Zhou Wang stared at the scene in front of them in amazement, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and leave." Yan Yu looked at the two silly people and growled.

"Oh, here they come." The two people came to their senses and immediately jumped on their horses and rushed out.

The huge noise of thousands of horses galloping attracted the night patrol. When they caught up, they were greeted by Zhou Wang and Qin Gang's thunder bombs. Although these thunder bombs were small, they were very powerful. With the crackling sound, many of the opponents fell off their horses.

Yan Yu rode his Snow Jade Horse at full speed, followed by a large group of horses, and returned to Yan Mingde's base camp in a grand manner.

Hearing the sound of horse hooves outside, not only the guards but even Yan Mingde panicked. According to the scouts, the enemy had already set up camp dozens of miles away. How could they launch an attack so suddenly? With such a big commotion, shouldn't the scouts have failed to report it?

After a brief panic, Yan Mingde quickly calmed down and said, "Hurry, hurry, follow this general out of the camp to fight the enemy." As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Mingde covered his abdomen and bent over in pain. That's right, after witnessing his soldiers inexplicably falling ill, it was finally Yan Mingde's turn this time.

"General, how can you fight the enemy in this state? Leave it to me." The deputy general was also caught in the trap, and his situation was not much better than Yan Mingde's.

While the two men were arguing in the big tent, a personal guard came in and reported, "General, those outside are not the enemy, but our second son. He has brought back the warhorse he brought back from the enemy."

"Who? Who are you talking about?" Yan Mingde widened his eyes and looked at the personal guard who came in to report the news. He seriously suspected that there was something wrong with his ears and he had heard it wrong. He only had two sons, one was a playboy who was not worthy of being reused, and the other was a scholar who was not even capable of tying up a chicken. Where did that second son come from?

"Our second young master." The personal guard looked at Yan Mingde and repeated what he had just said.

"Our second son? My son Yan Yu?" Yan Mingde didn't suspect that there was something wrong with his ears. He suspected that the personal guard in front of him had a mental problem. How could Yan Mingde not recognize his own son and know his son's character?

"Yes, it's our second young master." The guard thought his general was a little strange. How could he not even recognize his own son?

It is understandable that the personal guards do not understand Yan Yu. In the past, Yan Mingde often led troops to fight outside and rarely went home. Although he later returned to Beijing, he often lived in the Yulin Guard and did not want to go home because he did not get along with the tigress at home.

The deputy general shared Yan Mingde's suspicions, but figuring out the truth was more important. "General, if we call them in, we'll know for sure."

"Yes, yes, go and call the person over to me. No, no, please come over." Yan Mingde's sudden politeness was not for any other reason but simply because he simply did not believe that his son Yan Yu could do such an earth-shattering thing.

When the soldiers knew that the young hero before them was their second son, they immediately became excited. They pulled Yan Yu off the horse, lifted him up, threw him into the air and caught him again, and they did this repeatedly until Yan Yu almost vomited.

Although Qin Gang and Zhou Wang tried to stop them, the soldiers were so happy and enthusiastic that they could not be stopped.
