The Prodigal Son

The imperial envoy left the next day, but did not take Sangpo away.

In that case, Qin Yu wouldn't need to go to such lengths to keep this old hag around.

The day after the imperial envoy left, the envoy they had sent to the Black Li tribe also returned.

The envoy has explained the situation to the Heili tribe, and the Heili tribe has verbally promised not to launch an attack.

Even so, Qin Yu still dared not let his guard down and ordered his men to keep a close eye on the movements of the Hei Li tribe.

Before we knew it, seven or eight days had passed.

During this period, Qin Yu basically didn't worry about military affairs except for practicing martial arts.

All matters such as troop reorganization and training were left to Lin Gong and his men.

Anyway, his time as head coach is coming to an end soon.

Consider it a way of handing over power ahead of schedule!

During this time, Baojingsi and Nan Que'er continued to torture Granny Sang in turns.

No matter what tortures they used, they couldn't pry open Granny Sang's mouth.

In the end, they gave up.

Fan Bing has been dead for so long, even if we find his burial place now, his body would probably be rotten beyond recognition.

It's good that he's dead!

It's not necessarily required to bring the head back to the imperial court to claim the reward.

Under Nan Que'er's meticulous medical treatment, Qi Dachui's health improved significantly, and he was able to walk with difficulty.

However, according to Nan Que'er's estimate, given Qi Dachui's current condition, it will probably take at least another twenty days to fully recover.

That day, Nan Que'er came to give Qi Dachui acupuncture as usual.

After Nan Que'er finished administering the acupuncture, Qin Yu immediately pulled her outside and asked anxiously, "Are you sure there's really nothing wrong with my body?"

"Don't you trust my medical skills?"

Nan Que'er looked at him with a haughty yet puzzled expression, "What's wrong? Are you starting to hurt again?"

"Um."

Qin Yu nodded, "When I went to check on Da Chui just now, I suddenly felt..."

As Qin Yu was speaking, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his lower abdomen without any warning.

"Ouch...it hurts again, right here..."

Qin Yu grabbed Nan Que'er's hand and guided it to his lower abdomen.

"Are you trying to die?!"

Nan Que'er recoiled as if electrocuted, glaring at Qin Yu with embarrassment and anger: "If you want to take advantage of me, just say so! Stop pretending to be sick!"

Although she and Qin Yu had become quite familiar with each other over the past few days, they were still not this close!

"I……"

Qin Yu was almost in tears.

This isn't how I take advantage of you!

"Stop pretending! If you want to take advantage, go find Xu Wan!"

Nan Que'er bit her thin lips lightly, "I still need to change the dressing on my leg, I can't talk to you anymore!"

After saying that, Nan Que'er limped away, as if she was afraid that Qin Yu would do something to her.

"..."

Looking at Nan Que'er's retreating figure, Qin Yu was speechless.

I swear I wasn't faking it!

I don't fake so many illnesses, I'll fake this one?

I'm more likely to be mentally ill!

Qin Yu returned to the house listlessly, feeling depressed and uneasy.

He had just chatted with Qi Dachui for a while when Xu Wan came over to visit Qi Dachui with two pheasants.

Xu Wan nodded to Qin Yu in greeting, then went to Qi Dachui's side and asked, "Dachui, how was your day?"

"It's alright now."

Qi Dachui patted his legs, "I can walk now."

"Rest when you need to, don't keep walking around."

Xu Wan gave Qi Dachui a word of advice, then her gaze fell on Qin Yu, teasingly saying, "Hey, what's wrong with you now? You look like a wilted eggplant after a frost!"

"It's nothing, I'm just feeling a little unwell," Qin Yu replied casually.

What the hell is going on?

Nan Que'er even swore on her life that there was nothing wrong with her body!

But why did it suddenly start hurting again for no reason?

This is truly bizarre!

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Wan immediately became worried. "Should we ask Nan Que'er to take a look at you?"

"I just asked her, and she said it's nothing."

Qin Yu stood up and pointed to the pheasant in her hand, "Did you hunt this?"

"It was shot by our people while they were out on a reconnaissance mission. They knew that Da Chui was injured, so they brought it back to help him recover."

Xu Wan shook her head and smiled, "By the way, I received news that the 10,000 troops dispatched by the imperial court have arrived at Jin Suo Guan today and will be here within three days! We may have to prepare to return to the capital."

"We'll see!"

Qin Yu glanced at Qi Dachui, "We should wait until Dachui is feeling better before we talk about it!"

"The imperial edict says that once those ten thousand troops arrive, you must immediately lead the Wudang Flying Cavalry to escort those traitors back to the capital!"

Xu Wan reminded him, then teased him with a smile, "If you drag this out any longer, aren't you afraid His Majesty will punish you?"

"What right does she have to punish me?"

Qin Yu scoffed, "It's not like we're rushing back to be reincarnated, what's the hurry?"

Xu Wan's smile deepened. "Just because she's His Majesty."

"..."

Qin Yu's face darkened.

He really couldn't refute that!

However, I am now a hero!

Surely the female demon wouldn't be so unreasonable?

Who cares!

We'll have to wait until Big Hammer is fully recovered before we set off!

Nan Que'er and her clan's territory was also in Yanshan, so it was on their way back.

We'll let them set off with the army first, while Nan Que'er and I will take Granny Sang to their tribe's territory, and then we'll meet up with them at Jin Suo Guan.

Having made up his mind, Qin Yu asked Xu Wan again, "Has there been any unusual activity from the Black Li tribe?"

"no."

Xu Wan smiled and said, "They are still stationed at Tiger's Mouth, and there are no reinforcements being sent there. Judging from the current situation, it can be basically confirmed that the Black Li tribe will not launch an attack on us."

Their reinforcements arrived quickly.

Even if the Black Li tribe attacks now, they have nothing to fear.

She also believed that Hei Libu wouldn't act rashly at this time.

"That's good!"

Qin Yu felt relieved.

According to the imperial decree, his term as commander-in-chief would end when reinforcements arrived.

The reinforcements have already arrived at Jin Suo Guan, and he only has two or three days left in his term.

He didn't want anything to go wrong during his final term.

Thinking this, Qin Yu's gaze fell on the two pheasants again, then he turned to Xu Wan with a smile, "Didn't I say I'd roast chicken for you? Here's what we'll do: you go and prepare these two pheasants, and I'll make the mud. Today, I'll make up for the chicken you missed last time!"

"That won't do!"

A sly smile flashed in Xu Wan's eyes. "These two pheasants are for Da Chui to help him recover! You'll have to owe them to him for now!"

"No, no need."

Qi Dachui waved his hands repeatedly, "I'm fine."

"What do you mean, 'not needed'!"

Xu Wan glared at Qi Dachui with a smile, "It's still such a long way back to the capital, you'd better get well soon!"

"Too!"

Qin Yu nodded. "Then I'll owe you one!"

Xu Wan smiled and nodded gently...
