The Prodigal Son

Why did you keep Yu Wu alive?

As soon as Song Ling left, Nan Que'er couldn't wait to ask Qin Yu.

She knew perfectly well that Zhao Luan wanted to occupy all of Min Kingdom's territory!

In this situation, wouldn't it be better if Yu Wu died?

Qin Yu actually offered 200,000 taels of silver to keep Yu Wu alive?

Hearing Nan Que'er's question, Xu Wan also cast an inquiring glance at him.

Qin Yu's actions really left her somewhat baffled.

"fool!"

Qin Yu raised his hand and gently tapped Nan Que'er on the head. "Because Huang Dengxing didn't die!"

"Go on a yellow light?"

Xu Wan was taken aback, then suddenly realized, "You want to use Yu Wu to lure Huang Dengxing out?"

"Um."

Qin Yu nodded slightly, saying with a slight headache, "Huang Dengxing is a master! If Huang Dengxing isn't eliminated, he will eventually become a hidden danger."

Although Huang Dengxing, this master, seems a bit weak.

But he was, after all, a grandmaster!

He couldn't beat Ning Huang and Zhao Po, but killing them all was a piece of cake.

It's obvious that Huang Dengxing must hate him to the core right now.

If given the chance, Huang Dengxing would definitely want to kill himself or someone he cares about.

Ning Huang couldn't possibly stay by his side as his bodyguard all the time.

If the yellow light doesn't die, it could jump out and bite them at any time.

"That's true."

Nan Que'er suddenly realized, "But would the Yellow Lantern Guild walk right into a trap to save Yu Wu?"

Huang Dengxing isn't stupid either.

He certainly knew that with Ning Huang in charge, it would be almost impossible for him to rescue Yu Wu.

On the contrary, they are very likely to lose their lives.

The fact that Huang Dengxing escaped from Ning Huang's clutches several times shows that Huang Dengxing was a man who valued his life.

"have no idea."

Qin Yu shook his head slightly and grinned, "But Empress Dowager Wu definitely wants to save her son!"

"I see!"

Nan Que'er realized what was happening and said with a smile, "Even when Huang Dengxing was seriously injured, he still risked his life to save Empress Wu, which shows that he cares about her very much! Who knows, Yu Wu might really be Huang Dengxing and Empress Wu's son!"

Nan Que'er's eyes gleamed with intense gossip.

She suspected that Huang Dengxing and Empress Wu were having an affair!

"Only they themselves probably know the answer to this."

Qin Yu smiled and said, "But you're right. Huang Dengxing was willing to rescue Empress Wu under those circumstances, so their relationship must be extraordinary! I can't bet that Huang Dengxing is a loyal minister, but I can bet that Empress Wu loves her son so much that she will persuade Huang Dengxing to rescue Yu Wu."

He knew that what he was doing might be a bit despicable.

But for his own safety and the safety of those he cared about, he had to do it.

If Huang Dengxing still had family or country, he wouldn't need to worry so much.

If Huang Dengxing dares to act recklessly, Da Ning can retaliate against him!

But the yellow-light traffic now has no fear of their retaliation.

This is similar to how Chinese referees in the World Cup don't need to worry about foreign referees retaliating against their own team.

"I hope so!"

Hearing Qin Yu say that, Xu Wan couldn't help but worry.

Back in Luzhou, Granny Sang almost killed them.

Nowadays, the Yellow Light Walker is a much more dangerous person than the Sangpo.

The fact that yellow lights are still not allowed makes people uneasy!

"Alright, that's enough for you. Don't worry too much."

Qin Yu glanced at the two women. "Huang Dengxing is seriously injured and certainly can't pose a threat to us for the time being! Let's finish up what we're doing now, and then we'll hold a public trial of Yu Wu to see if we can lure Huang Dengxing out!"

Worrying too much now is useless.

Whether it succeeds or fails, we'll only know later.

……

After Huang Dengxing led the unconscious Empress Wu to the depths of Yuwang Mountain, they finally stopped.

He suffered repeated injuries and excessive blood loss, and even as a grandmaster, he was beginning to falter.

"Huff huff..."

After carefully setting Empress Wu down, Huang Dengxing leaned against a large tree, panting heavily, his eyes flashing with a fierce light.

That damned Liang Jingzhe!

How dare they ambush me!

If my palm strike hadn't killed him, I would have chased him to the ends of the earth to avenge him!

After a while, Liang Jingzhe forced himself to get up despite the pain and found several herbs nearby.

Huang Dengxing chewed up the herbs and applied them to the wound on his waist, then tore open his clothes to bandage the wound.

Only after finishing all this did Huang Dengxing lean against Empress Wu to rest.

Looking at the woman he loved, Huang Dengxing felt a little comforted.

No matter what, as long as she's alright, that's all that matters.

Before he knew it, Huang Dengxing was thinking about their past again.

Their first meeting was about twenty years ago.

At that time, Wu was just an innocent young girl, while he had already entered middle age.

By chance, he became an instructor in the Wu family, responsible for teaching the Wu siblings martial arts.

At first, he was annoyed by her willfulness, capriciousness, and domineering nature, always feeling that she was spoiled rotten by the Wu family.

She also disliked his rigid and unsmiling nature, finding him old-fashioned and boring, and would deliberately provoke him to see his helpless frown.

But as time went on and they spent more time together, he was gradually moved by the purity in her eyes and the vibrancy in her bones. His initial annoyance unknowingly turned into attraction.

And she gradually discovered the gentleness and thoughtfulness beneath his rigid exterior.

His patience in teaching her martial arts and his unwavering determination in protecting her made her innocent heart quietly fall for him.

The age gap did not become an obstacle between them; they eventually fell in love over time.

They once whispered sweet nothings under the moon, making vows of eternal love and promising to stay together for life.

They had watched flowers bloom and leaves fall, and longed for peaceful times.

At that time, they thought they would be the happiest people in the world.

But happiness comes too quickly, like a bubble that bursts at the slightest touch.

Just as he mustered his courage to propose to Wu's father, Yu Yong appeared.

Yu Yong was immediately captivated by her beauty, and with a single imperial decree, he took her into the harem and made her a concubine.

The Wu family, greedy for wealth and luxury, were overjoyed upon hearing the news, completely ignoring her cries and pleas.

Ultimately, they decided to elope.

However, their plan was eventually discovered by Wu's father.

That night, the moonlight was cold, and Wu's father led his men to ambush and kill them.

He fought back with all his might, but was ultimately outnumbered and left wounded and on the verge of death.

Just as the fatal blow was about to fall, she rushed to his side without hesitation, protecting him with her life.

After escaping death, he changed his name and sought out renowned masters to hone his martial arts skills, hoping one day to kill Yu Yong and reclaim the woman who belonged to him...

In the blink of an eye, more than twenty years have passed.

Time has not left many marks on her face, but has only made her more mature and beautiful.

But he himself was already old and frail, and had fallen from a revered master to a homeless dog.

Fortunately, she was still by his side.

To spend the rest of my life with her is enough!
