The Prodigal Son

Six days later, Qi Dachui's body had finally recovered to about 70-80%.

Although I can't fight with people right now, I can still ride a horse and walk without any problems.

After a few days of delay, Qin Yu finally prepared to lead the Wudang Flying Cavalry on their return journey from Luzhou.

However, before setting off, Qin Yu had one more thing to do.

When Qin Yu arrived at the prison, he only saw Granny Sang, who had been tortured beyond recognition.

Sangpo's meridians were sealed, and her limbs were put in heavy shackles.

At this moment, Granny Sang had completely lost the air of a master, and her entire old face was sunken.

If Qin Yu hadn't looked closely, he almost wouldn't have recognized the old hag.

Although they were enemies, at this moment, Qin Yu still felt a certain admiration for this old hag.

Despite enduring so much torture, she still refused to reveal where Fan Bing was buried.

Just as Qin Yu was secretly sighing, Granny Sang suddenly raised her drooping head.

"Pooh!"

A mouthful of bloody phlegm shot towards Qin Yu.

Qin Yu immediately dodged and kicked Granny Sang in the stomach.

"Well……"

Granny Sang let out a muffled groan, but refused to lower her head, her eyes fixed on Qin Yu like those of a venomous snake.

"You scoundrel, you'll die a horrible death!"

"I'll haunt you even as a ghost!"

While the half-dead Granny Sang was cursing Qin Yu, she seemed to suddenly come back to life, roaring wildly like a beast ready to devour its prey.

The violent struggle caused the shackles to clang.

If looks could kill, Qin Yu would have been riddled with holes by this old hag.

"You old hag, all you can do now is bark helplessly!"

Qin Yu stared coldly at the old hag, "If you can really turn into a ghost, I wouldn't mind killing you again!"

Qi Dachui is still lying down!

Once I take this old hag to Nan Que'er's clan territory, I'll definitely stab her in the back no matter what!

"You scoundrel, bring it on, whatever other tricks you have up your sleeve!"

Granny Sang glared at Qin Yu with hatred, a sinister smile spreading across her old face. "I love seeing how you all try so hard to pry my mouth open!"

"Whatever!"

Qin Yu chuckled dismissively, "Anyway, Fan Bing is already dead! And he died without ever restoring his kingdom! I reckon he must have died with his eyes wide open in disbelief, right?"

Qin Yu neither cursed nor became hysterical.

But his words pierced Sangpo's heart like a steel needle.

Thinking of the scene where Fan Bing, having failed in his mission, was driven to his death by anger, Granny Sang instantly broke down, her face contorted with rage as she roared, "You scoundrel! You will be torn to pieces and die without a burial place! You scoundrel..."

Sangpo was emotionally agitated, roaring hysterically, and the clanking of shackles was incessant.

"Go ahead and curse, curse all you want!"

Qin Yu didn't care at all. "Anyway, you won't even have the chance to curse anymore soon!"

"You scoundrel! You'll die a horrible death..."

Granny Sang seemed not to hear Qin Yu's words at all and continued to curse.

It seemed that only in this way could she vent the endless anger in her heart.

Qin Yu dismissed it as mere barking and turned to instruct Nan Que'er, "You'd better be careful later, don't let her lose too much and die!"

"Don't worry! I want her to die even less than you do!"

Nan Que'er nodded emphatically and pulled a short knife from her waist.

Swish swish...

Nan Que'er severed Sang Po's tendons in her hands and feet with a few slashes, and amidst Sang Po's screams, she took out hemostatic powder to stop the bleeding.

"It's so noisy!"

Xu Wan casually picked up a filthy cloth and stuffed it into Granny Sang's mouth, then looked at Qin Yu speechlessly, "Isn't this just unnecessary?"

This old hag is covered in wounds and has been clinging to life for days on just a little food.

Even if her meridians weren't sealed, she definitely wouldn't be able to stand up right now, let alone act violently.

Even so, Qin Yu insisted on severing all the tendons and veins in the old hag's limbs.

"That's called 'better safe than sorry'!"

Qin Yu gently shook his head: "After all, she's a ninth-realm expert. What if she suddenly breaks through her meridians and launches a sneak attack? Even the great monk won't have time to save us!"

When dealing with a ninth-realm expert, you can never be too cautious.

He had watched so many TV dramas in his past life, he wouldn't make such a basic mistake.

"Fine! Fine!"

Xu Wan smiled, "Let's hurry up and finish so we can get going!"

Qin Yu glanced at Xu Wan, "Actually, you didn't need to go with me."

Xu Wan snorted in dissatisfaction, "I also want to see what Nan Que'er's clan territory looks like, is that not allowed?"

"Okay, okay!"

Qin Yu smiled helplessly, "Where you, Commander Xu, are you going, do you think I can stop you?"

never mind!

Let's go take a look!

The next morning, Qin Yu and his group set off from Dawang Village.

This time, Xu Wan's troops, Lü Si, Shen Jue, Nan Que'er and her clansmen will all return with Qin Yu.

They needed to first escort Wei Chongshan and other important criminals to Xining Prefecture before returning to the capital.

Until we meet again!

Lin Gong and the others clasped their hands in farewell to Qin Yu.

"No, no!"

Qin Yu quickly stopped them, "I don't want to come back to this godforsaken place! If we're going to meet, we'll meet in the capital!"

Hearing Qin Yu's words, everyone burst into laughter.

Qin Yu chuckled and then reminded Lin Gong, "Although our reinforcements have arrived, don't let your guard down! Be careful that the Black Li tribe doesn't launch a surprise attack while we're off guard!"

Thanks for reminding me!

Lin Gong nodded earnestly and bowed to Qin Yu again.

"Let's go!"

Qin Yu waved casually at them and urged his horse to leave.

Watching Qin Yu and the others depart, Lin Gong waved to everyone, "Alright, let's all go back to camp! We'll be busy from now on!"

Sometimes, he was quite envious of Qin Yu.

Once the war is over, they don't care about anything else, they just pack up and leave!

They've done their part, and they don't have to be overwhelmed with work!

Hearing Lin Gong's words, everyone nodded in deep agreement.

Newly acquired territory will not be easy to stabilize!

Moreover, although other tribes in southern Xinjiang have not launched an attack on them now, it is uncertain what will happen in the future.

Taking this land is not enough; we must hold onto it and completely transform it into the territory of Daning!

This is what true territorial expansion looks like!

On the way back, the lieutenant asked Lin Gong with some curiosity, "What kind of reward do you think Qin Yu will receive when he returns this time?"

"Who knows?"

Lin Gong shook his head and smiled to himself, "But I reckon he'll be groomed to be a military leader! Who knows when we'll be calling him Commander Qin again!"

The lieutenant nodded in deep agreement, sighing, "Comparison is the thief of joy! Why can't my little bastard have Qin Yu's abilities?"

Before he knew it, Qin Yu had become someone else's child.

"You didn't say that before!"

Lin Gong smiled at his deputy, "I remember you once said that if your son were like Qin Yu, you would definitely kill him..."

"No, no!"

The lieutenant quickly covered Lin Gong's mouth, saying, "I'll treat you to drinks tonight, just pretend you never said anything!"

"That's more like it!"

Lin Gong laughed heartily, then looked back once more, feeling a surge of emotion in his heart.

This once universally disliked spoiled brat has now truly soared to great heights...
