The Prodigal Son

"You're leaving already?"

Qin Yu looked at Qin Fumeng with suspicion, "Aren't you going to offer any opinions or suggestions?"

"Publish my ass!"

A smile flashed across Qin Fumeng's old face as he walked out leisurely with his hands behind his back.

In his view, Zhao Luan's methods were quite normal.

He was very pleased that Zhao Luan was able to say those words to Qin Yu.

Qin Yu was pleased that Zhao Luan did not hold a pedantic view that he was wrong.

He's just going back to his own courtyard to have a couple of drinks, why should he say anything to this beast!

Watching the old man's retreating figure, Qin Yu couldn't help but secretly curl his lip.

I'm back to normal now, but this old guy is going back to his old ways all the time!

What's wrong? Is there a problem with the Qin family's feng shui, or are the ancestral tablets placed in the wrong position?

Nan Que'er and Luo Qingyi returned to the house only after Qin Fumeng left.

Qin Yuchong and the two women revealed a mischievous smile, then pointed to the door: "Close the door!"

"What are you thinking about!"

Nan Que'er understood Qin Yu's little scheme perfectly well, and said shyly, "What if Grandpa pulls a surprise attack later? Will we even be able to face anyone then?"

"that is!"

Luo Qingyi nodded in deep agreement.

Qin Yu chuckled, "Don't worry, he's asked everything he needed to. Why would he come back? The old man's been through it all; he knows what he's doing!"

"You think everyone's as shameless as you!" Nan Que'er playfully slapped Qin Yu, changing the subject, "By the way, what does the Nine Dragon Pendant you saw look like?"

"Whatever, it'll be fine!"

Qin Yu briefly described the appearance of the Nine Dragon Pendant to her, "I'll draw a rough sketch for you later, that might be more vivid."

"Um."

Nan Que'er nodded gently, then said with a smile, "I won't join you for a bath. If you want to, find Qingyi! Perfect timing, we're heading to Kaizhou soon, so you should spend more time with her!"

Before Luo Qingyi could speak, Nan Que'er immediately made her escape.

Qin Yu chuckled in surprise, then pondered to himself.

Well, this trip will take at least two or three months.

I really need to spend some time with Luo Qingyi.

Let's do it tomorrow!

……

The next morning, Qin Yu prepared to take Luo Qingyi and Nan Que'er out.

Nan Que'er was going to Kaizhou with him; they were mainly accompanying Luo Qingyi today.

They will be heading to Kaizhou as early as tomorrow.

If things go smoothly, I might be able to get back before the new year.

If the war drags on too long, we probably won't see each other again until next year.

However, before they even left the house, Xu Wan came knocking on their door.

Upon seeing Xu Wan arrive, Luo Qingyi and Nan Que'er couldn't help but exchange a smile.

It's obvious that Xu Wan already knows that Qin Yu is about to go to Kaizhou.

Xu stepped forward that evening and joked, "I heard General Qin is going to Kaizhou?"

"As expected of the people from the Treasure Mirror Bureau, their information network is truly impressive!"

Qin Yu also teased her.

"If our Treasure Mirror Division is unaware of such a significant matter, then we have neglected our duty."

Xu Wan raised her head haughtily, "By the way, when are you leaving?"

"As early as tomorrow, at the latest the day after!"

Dieguan is not far from the imperial city.

The Ministry of War should send someone to Dieguan early this morning to deliver the order to the Wudang Flying Cavalry.

Yuan Dingguo received orders to make some further preparations before rushing to the capital to meet him, which should be tomorrow afternoon.

"So rushed?"

Xu Wan was surprised.

Upon hearing this, Qin Yu couldn't help but roll his eyes at her: "Please, we're going to help the Min Kingdom quell a rebellion. It's an emergency, how can we not be in a hurry?"

The Min Kingdom is currently embroiled in internal strife.

The sooner they arrive, the fewer people Yu Wu will have to subdue.

In this way, their casualties would certainly be less, and the war might even end faster.

The sooner we conquer Min, the more advantageous the situation will be for Da Ning.

"Alright, alright, I know you're highly valued by His Majesty and very busy!"

Xu Wan rolled her eyes at her, but felt secretly disappointed.

She had just brought Gao Yi and the others from Fengzhou to the capital, and before she even had a chance to say a few words to Qin Yu, he was about to go on a military expedition.

In the past, whenever I didn't want to see Qin Yu, I would always run into him by various coincidences.

Now, she wants to see Qin Yu and sit down to talk to him, but either she has something to do or Qin Yu has something to do.

This is truly a cruel twist of fate.

"Look at what you're saying! Do you think I want to be this busy person? Wouldn't it be better if I just enjoyed myself all day?"

Qin Yu shrugged helplessly. "By the way, what brings you here?"

"Thirteenth Young Master, you've asked the wrong question."

Nan Que'er picked up the thread, looking at Xu Wan with a teasing expression, "Can't Military Envoy Xu come to see you if there's nothing wrong? As the saying goes, a day apart feels like three autumns! He just returned from Fengzhou, can't he come to see you?"

Hearing Nan Que'er's words, Xu Wan, both ashamed and angry, rushed towards Nan Que'er, "I'm going to tear your mouth apart today!"

"Thirteenth Young Master, help me!"

Nan Que'er let out an exaggerated cry and immediately hid behind Qin Yu.

Xu Wan was not about to let Nan Que'er off the hook after she had teased him several times, so she immediately started chasing and hitting Nan Que'er around Qin Yu.

"stop!"

Qin Yu quickly stopped the two women, saying with lingering fear, "You two can joke around all you want, but don't drag me into this!"

As he spoke, Qin Yu glared at Nan Que'er again.

You should hold her down and spank her hard!

Does she have a grudge against Xu Wan or something?

She knew perfectly well that Xu Wan was shy, yet she still kept teasing her.

He seriously suspected that Xu Wan had mistreated Nan Que'er during the time she was ordered to deliver the message to Shen Jue.

Or perhaps Nan Que'er's skill level is lower than Luo Qingyi's, so she can only bully Xu Wan?

Hearing Qin Yu bring up the old story again, Xu Wan blushed instantly, glared fiercely at Nan Que'er, and then angrily said to Qin Yu, "I'm here to collect a debt!"

"Collect...collect debts?"

Qin Yu was a little confused. "When did I owe you a debt?"

"It's definitely a debt of love!"

Unfazed, Nan Que'er took the opportunity to tease Qin Yu and Luo Qingyi again, leaving them both amused and exasperated.

She's really addicted to teasing Xu Wan, isn't she?

It's fortunate that this happened at the Qin family's residence.

Otherwise, given Xu Wan's short temper, she might really rush up and fight with her.

Xu Wan's pretty face flushed even redder. She glared at Nan Que'er again, barely suppressing the urge to rush up and fight with her. She turned to Qin Yu and said, "You said you'd compensate me with a beggar's chicken. Have you forgotten already?"

"That's it?"

Qin Yu suddenly realized, and after a moment's thought, said, "How about we find a scenic spot to visit today, and I'll make each of you a beggar's chicken?"

Nan Que'er was getting a little carried away and subconsciously wanted to take the opportunity to tease Xu Wan again, but Luo Qingyi preemptively agreed: "Okay! Anyway, there's not much to do in this city."

As they spoke, Luo Qingyi secretly gave Nan Que'er a wink.

That's enough!

She may have acted first, but Xu Wan was the old man's chosen wife!

She's having a good time joking now, but once Xu Wan walks in, she'll be crying!

Qin Yu was originally there to accompany Luo Qingyi today, and since Luo Qingyi has no objections, things are much easier.

set off!

Xiaotangshan!
