The Prodigal Son

Two days later, under Nan Que'er's careful treatment, Qin Yu's health improved significantly, and they set off to leave.

Dong Liu carried Qin Yu on his back. Xu Wan insisted on carrying Nan Que'er on her back to thank her for saving Qin Yu's life, which made Nan Que'er feel quite embarrassed.

After a day of turmoil, they finally met up with Yuan Dingguo and the others who had been waiting for several days at Jin Suo Guan.

Upon learning that Qin Yu was injured, Lü Si was the first to rush over, even more so than Qi Dachui.

"Qin Yu, how could you be so careless!"

Lu Si tried hard to suppress a laugh and asked Qin Yu with concern about his injuries, "How badly are you hurt?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lü Si buried his head in his hands, his shoulders shaking incessantly.

If he were to look up now, Qin Yu would surely see the radiant smile on his face.

Qin Yu stared at Lü Si, both amused and annoyed. "You probably want to ask me when I'm going to die, don't you?"

That son of a bitch!

They're practically ready to celebrate with drums and gongs!

Don't be too obvious in your gloating!

"Yes... oh... no!"

Lu Si turned his face away, not content with that, he raised his hand to cover his face, "I'm just worried about you!"

"Get lost!"

Qin Yu warned with a grim expression, "Let me tell you, even though I'm low on health right now, taking you down is still no problem!"

"What kind of person is he! He's trying to be kind and concerned about you, and you don't even appreciate it!" Lu Si curled his lip. "Fine, don't be ungrateful then, but it's like nobody cares about your well-being!"

Lu Si glanced at Qin Yu with displeasure and quickly walked out.

As soon as he stepped out of the room, Lü Si could no longer suppress the smile on his face.

"Ha ha……"

Lü Si leaned against a pillar outside the house and burst into laughter.

Live it!

This is what they call karma!

Let him stop showing off all the time!

Hearing Lü Si's unrestrained laughter, Qin Yu really wanted to rush out and kick him.

Damn it!

They're not even going to act anymore!

Once I'm better, the first person I'll deal with is him!

Lu Si was laughing happily outside when he saw Qi Dachui, Shen Jue, and Yuan Dingguo running over together.

Lu Si quickly suppressed his laughter and made a hasty escape.

Qi Dachui entered the room and saw Qin Yu lying there; his eyes immediately reddened.

"Thirteenth Young Master, who did this?"

Qi Dachui clenched his fists tightly, his whole body exuding a violent aura.

"What are you doing!"

Qin Yu raised his hand to stop Qi Dachui, "It has nothing to do with anyone else. I accidentally caused this while practicing my skills."

Qi Dachui seemed somewhat skeptical and cast a questioning glance at Xu Wan.

Seeing Xu Wan nod slightly, Qi Dachui's fierce aura gradually dissipated.

Once they confirmed that Qin Yu was alright, Yuan Dingguo and Shen Jue breathed a sigh of relief.

"Has Young Master Qin broken through to the fourth realm with his innate, severed meridians?"

Shen Jue asked with great curiosity.

Qin Yu was slightly taken aback, but then he realized what was happening.

Few people knew that his congenital meridian deficiency had been cured, and Shen Jue was certainly not among them.

Shen Jue must have thought that he had forcibly broken through to the fourth realm of martial arts, which was why he ended up like this.

"yes!"

Qin Yu smiled and nodded.

There's no need to publicize the fact that his congenital meridian deficiency was cured.

It makes people think they're novices, but who knows, they might just turn the tables and kill the enemy at the crucial moment!

The old guys all knew to keep Hammer's strength hidden as a trump card, so of course they also needed to keep some trump cards up their sleeves.

Only a fool would reveal all their cards to outsiders.

"It is truly admirable that Young Master Qin was able to break through to the fourth realm with his innate severed meridians."

Shen Jue looked at Qin Yu with admiration, then kindly advised, "However, the risk of breaking through the innate meridians increases exponentially with each breakthrough. In my personal opinion, Young Master Qin is a rare talent, and there's really no need for him to deliberately pursue higher levels of martial arts!"

Shen Jue was still very grateful to Qin Yu.

If Qin Yu hadn't given him a chance to redeem himself, he would surely have faced the fate of having his entire family executed.

"right!"

Yuan Dingguo nodded in agreement, "Young Master Qin is suited to command the army from the rear, while the tasks of charging into battle should be left to us warriors!"

"Don't try to sweet-talk me, you two. I'm the kind of person who gets carried away easily." Qin Yu smiled at the two of them, then changed the subject, saying, "Has anything happened here these past few days?"

Although Qin Yu said that, he was still clear-headed.

He won a battle just by relying on his cleverness, and suddenly he became a commander-in-chief?

If that's the case, then this talented leader is being treated too cheaply!

Ugh!

It's lonely at the top!

I just hope the female demon won't suspect the Qin family!

"It's nothing serious."

Yuan Dingguo replied, "We have received news that the rebels in Chenzhou have been basically wiped out."

"That's good!" Qin Yu was relieved, then asked, "Any news about Zhao Yi and Zuo Jiangyue?"

Shen Jue continued, "They've been locked up in Jin Suo for a few days, and we've been sending people to search for them, but we haven't received any news yet. My biggest fear is that they've found a secluded mountain forest to hide in; if that happens, finding them will be quite difficult!"

When Zuo Jiangyue and Zhao Yi were mentioned, a fierce glint suddenly flashed in Shen Jue's eyes.

If they hadn't schemed against me, how could I have ended up like this?

If he could, he would tear those two people to pieces with his own hands!

He also didn't want to let any of the generals in the Qingxi camp who colluded with Zhao Yi go.

"That's true."

Qin Yu nodded slightly. "I hope Pei Du can lead his men to wipe them all out in one fell swoop!"

However, upon further reflection, Qin Yu felt relieved.

Since I'm going back to the capital, he shouldn't have to worry about things here.

Hopefully, Pei Du can wipe out all those treacherous officials and villains in one fell swoop!

Otherwise, these people might pop up again at any time.

After chatting with Qin Yu for a while, they stopped disturbing his rest and took their leave.

Later that evening, Nan Que'er came to help Qin Yu with his treatment, and Xu Wan took Qi Dachui to help Qin Yu brew medicine.

Just as Nan Que'er was about to administer acupuncture to Qin Yu, Qin Yu grabbed her hand.

Nan Que'er instinctively tried to pull her hand back, but then suddenly stopped, secretly amused.

She's already consummated her marriage with Qin Yu, so why would she care about this?

Qin Yu held Nan Que'er's soft hand, a smile on his face, and asked, "Shouldn't we announce our relationship? Keeping it so secret isn't sustainable!"

"I'm not in a hurry, why are you?"

Nan Que'er rolled her eyes at him. "Let's talk about it after we get to the capital! I'm a criminal now, who knows how your empress will deal with me? Until we get a result, let's keep our distance so as not to implicate you."

"joke!"

Qin Yuhu's body trembled. "You better put your heart back in your stomach! If I can't even protect you, what kind of person am I?"

"Then don't announce it yet, at least wait for a suitable opportunity! Anyway, we can't talk about what happened that night!" Nan Que'er said, grabbing Qin Yu's hand and placing it on her chest, staring at him with a shy yet sly look. "Don't you think it's exciting to be sneaky?"

Oh!

Good heavens!

She's so good at it!

Is this a test for cadres?

Am I the kind of person who can withstand such a test?

Qin Yu's breathing suddenly became rapid, and he responded to her with a burning gaze, "Woman, you're playing with fire!"

"I played with fire!"

Nan Que'er licked her lips, revealing a mischievous smile, "Go ahead and bite me!"

Qin Yu's heart fluttered, and he was about to pull Nan Que'er into his arms when Nan Que'er kissed him first.

Just as the two were passionately kissing, Qin Yu suddenly felt a sharp pain in his lower abdomen without any warning.

Qin Yu frowned, and his passion instantly dissipated by more than half.

"What's wrong?"

Nan Que'er looked at Qin Yu with a puzzled expression.

Qin Yu pulled Nan Que'er's hand and placed it on his lower abdomen. "It's starting to hurt again..."

"what?"

Nan Que'er was taken aback. "Could it be because of damaged meridians?"

Qin Yu was both amused and exasperated: "I don't know anything about medicine, you'll have to ask you!"

"this……"

Nan Que'er thought for a moment, "It's probably due to damage to the meridians. Let's observe it for a while before making any further decisions!"
