The Prodigal Son

After worrying for two days and two nights, Qin Yu finally felt relieved and slept soundly.

He slept until the next day.

"Thirteenth Young Master, the imperial edict has arrived..."

Qin Yu only woke up groggily when he heard Qin Xiong's voice.

"Thirteenth Young Master, wake up! The imperial decree has arrived..."

Qin Xiong pulled and tugged at him, and spoke again.

"Okay, I understand..."

Qin Yu responded with a series of yawns, reluctantly getting up.

When they came outside, Lin Gong, Shen Jue, and the others were already there.

Yao Jin, the deputy commander of the Golden Armored Imperial Guards, came to deliver the imperial decree.

Upon seeing Qin Yu, Yao Jin began to loudly proclaim the imperial edict: "His Majesty decrees: I am greatly pleased to hear that you, my lords, have expanded the territory of my Great Ning! The former territory of the Nuoli tribe is hereby renamed Luzhou, and Jin Suo Guan is incorporated into Luzhou! Lin Gong is appointed as the Grand General of Suiyuan and temporarily serves as the Prefect of Luzhou..."

The officials sent by the imperial court to Luzhou are already on their way.

At the same time, the imperial court also transferred 10,000 troops from the 15,000 troops previously stationed on the border of Chenzhou and Juzhou to serve under Lin Gong.

Qin Yu and Lin Gong were ordered to integrate the troops and prisoners of war from various units, along with 10,000 troops transferred from the imperial court, to form a 40,000-strong elite army to be stationed in the newly established Luzhou.

Once the 10,000-strong reinforcement army arrived, Qin led the Wudang Flying Cavalry to escort the rebels from Chenzhou back to the capital.

He ordered Pei Du to lead his troops to continue investigating the whereabouts of the traitors Zhao Yi and Zuo Jiangyue, and to thoroughly investigate the Holy Fire Sect case.

Anyone with any connection to the Holy Fire Cult will be detained!

Shen Jue and Wu Chi accompanied Qin Yu to the capital.

Meng Zhangping temporarily assumed the post of Prefect of Chenzhou and, together with the Baojing Division, thoroughly investigated the Holy Fire Sect case and rectified the administration of Chenzhou...

After hearing the contents of the imperial edict, Qin Yu couldn't help but secretly curl his lip.

The Nuoli tribe is such a tiny place, less than two prefectures, yet it has been established as a state?

Ambitious and eager for quick success!

That female demon is absolutely obsessed with grand achievements!

Once the news is announced to the world, all the people will know that during Zhao Luan's reign, she also expanded the territory of Da Ning by one prefecture!

After all, the people of the world only know that Daning has Luzhou!

As for how big Luzhou actually is, probably not many people care.

However, this female demon does know how to win people's hearts.

They even merged Jin Suo Guan into Luzhou?

This is tantamount to telling Lin Gong that she trusts him and doesn't need to use the Golden Lock Pass to guard against him!

"Your subject accepts the imperial decree and expresses his gratitude!"

The group accepted the decree in unison.

Qin Yu accepted the imperial edict from the envoy and then asked Yao Jin, "How long until the imperial reinforcements arrive?"

"It will take about ten days if things go smoothly, and about twelve days if things go slower."

Yao Jin replied.

Has it been that long?

But it doesn't matter.

This would allow Da Chui to recover in peace, as he didn't want to rush back to the capital so soon.

Thinking this, Qin Yu chuckled and said, "The Holy Envoy has come from afar, why don't you go and rest for a while? I'll have someone prepare a banquet to entertain the Holy Envoy later!"

After having Yao Jin and the others settled in, Qin Yu didn't even bother to eat before immediately going to check on Qi Dachui's condition.

Just as he was about to enter the house, he encountered Nan Que'er, who was walking out of the house with a simple cane.

"How's Big Hammer doing today?"

Qin Yu quickly inquired.

"Much better."

Nan Que'er casually replied, "I just heard that your imperial court sent someone to deliver an imperial decree. Will they take that old hag back with them?"

"That wasn't mentioned."

Qin Yu looked at Nan Que'er suspiciously, "Why are you suddenly asking about this?"

Nan Que'er bit her thin lips, a deep hatred welling up on her face: "My parents and many of my clansmen died at the hands of that old hag. I want to bring her to our clan's territory and use her head and blood to comfort their souls in heaven!"

She knew that after she led her people away from this land, she would have almost no chance of returning.

Before leaving, she had to pay her respects to her parents and relatives.

Originally, she intended to use Fan Bing's head to pay tribute to her parents and deceased clansmen.

But this old hag is really tight-lipped.

They tried every cruel torture imaginable, but they couldn't get the location of Fan Bing's burial site from that old hag.

Since that's the case, we'll just have to use the old hag's head instead!

"This is it!"

Qin Yu smiled and readily agreed, "Since you saved Da Chui, I have no choice but to grant your request!"

"Even if the imperial envoy wants to take her back to the capital, I will find a way to keep her here!"

"Let's interrogate her again. If we still can't get that old hag to talk, I'll take her with me to your tribe's territory!"

Upon hearing this, Nan Que'er's face lit up with surprise: "Really?"

"Would I lie to you about that!"

Qin Yu smiled casually, "Anyway, that old hag isn't worth anything if she doesn't speak up! I'm using her life to bribe you, it's like making use of something useless, isn't it?"

It's absolutely impossible to get Sangpo to work for them!

Sangpo's greatest value now is knowing where Fan Bing is buried.

If even this little bit of value is unreliable, it would be better to kill this old hag!

Perfect timing! He also wanted to stab that old hag in the back a couple of times to vent his anger for Qi Dachui.

"Thank you!"

Nan Que'er was grateful.

"Don't mention it!"

Qin Yu waved his hand dismissively, "You're my person, so your business is my business!"

"Um!"

Nan Que'er nodded gently, hesitated for a moment, and then tentatively said, "Actually, there's something... I lied to you."

"What's wrong?" Qin Yu's eyelids twitched. "It's not about the hammer, is it?"

Qin Yu's expression immediately became tense.

What he feared most was that Nan Que'er would lie about Qi Da Chui's situation.

If that's the case, he'll probably have to be quite ruthless towards Nan Que'er.

"no!"

Nan Que'er gently shook her head. Seeing Qin Yu's brows relax, she whispered, "Actually, your body isn't sick at all. You don't need to abstain from sex!"

"What?"

Qin Yu's eyes widened suddenly, staring at her in disbelief.

Meeting Qin Yu's gaze, Nan Que'er lowered her head apologetically, "When I first diagnosed you, I found that there was nothing wrong with your body. At that time, I was worried that you would discard me after using me, so I..."

Nan Que'er's voice grew softer and softer.

As the story progressed, it became barely audible.

But Qin Yu already understood what she meant.

However, Qin Yu wasn't angry with her; instead, he asked her with a look of surprise and delight, "Are you sure?"

"Absolutely certain!"

Nan Que'er nodded emphatically and said firmly, "I guarantee it with my life!"

Upon receiving such a positive answer, Qin Yu was overjoyed.

Damn it!

I knew it! The imperial physician was being instigated by the female demon to talk nonsense!

revenge!

This is the she-devil's revenge!

That female demon is a psychopath!

Qin Yu cursed Zhao Luan in his heart, but a bright smile appeared on his face.

But soon, Qin Yu's smile froze. "Then what's causing the intermittent pain in my lower abdomen?"

"I don't know about that."

Nan Que'er shook her head. "It could be psychological, or you might have eaten something you shouldn't have."

"..."

Qin Yu rolled his eyes.

Is the pain from an upset stomach the same as that kind of pain?

do not care!

He still trusted Nan Que'er's medical skills!

Since Nan Que'er is so certain, then there should be no problem!

Haven't I always suspected that the female demon was behind this?

hoohoo!

My blissful sex life has finally arrived!
