After the meal, He Jiuniang personally escorted the young prince back to the East Palace before taking Gou'er to find Lu Baichuan.
While you're at it, also take a look at the illness of the Third Prince of Dongting.
After drinking He Jiuniang's medicine, the Third Prince did feel much better, but there were still other poisons in his body that He Jiuniang had given him. He couldn't muster any energy and couldn't even sit up. Otherwise, he would feel dizzy and uncomfortable.
This completely dissuaded the people of Dongting from their idea of breaking him out of prison; otherwise, the Third Prince would have been killed.
The fact that the Third Prince of Dongting has been able to remain unharmed despite being imprisoned for so long, and that the other party has been trying to rescue him instead of simply silencing him, shows that the Third Prince is still highly regarded in Dongting. This makes He Jiuniang convinced of the Third Prince's importance to Dongting, and that as long as she controls him, she will have no trouble controlling Dongting.
"How's the situation at the military camp?"
After examining the Third Prince, Lu Baichuan carried his son in one arm and held his wife's hand with the other as he walked out, not forgetting to inquire about the situation at the military camp.
"Very good, very good. In a few days, I plan to take them to the woods to train and also set up a trap to deal with those who betray the camp. Only then will I officially begin training the remaining people."
What are you planning to do?
Lu Baichuan looked at her with some surprise, not expecting her to be so fast.
There are indeed many traitors in the military camp. He originally planned to deal with them slowly, but who knew his wife would be so decisive.
"You don't need to worry about that. I'll take the opportunity to get rid of some people and train the rest, so we won't have to worry about not having anyone to use when it matters."
He Jiuniang kept everyone in suspense for a moment, then said, "I will train this group of people into an elite team."
This elite team refers to the elite assassin team, not people like the Fire Cloud Division. They are better at investigating clues, so the two are not comparable. However, if the two were to cooperate, they would become the most powerful force in Bei Yan.
Lu Baichuan remained silent. Since his wife had the ability, he would let her try. After all, his wife was indeed capable, and even if something went wrong, he could take the blame for her. It would be fine.
"Mother, are you going to be away for a long time?"
The dog looked at her with some sadness. The past few days of separation had felt incredibly long to him. But because he lived in the palace, he didn't want to cause trouble for others, so he pretended to be happy every day. In reality, what child wouldn't miss his parents?
"It won't be long. I might be a bit busy these few days, but later I'll have more time and can come home to be with you every day."
He Jiuniang rubbed his head. She was also reluctant to leave her son, but she was afraid that the Eastern Court would suddenly launch a war, but the Northern Yan side had very few people they could use.
Most importantly, Lu Baichuan has just taken this position and urgently needs a group of his own forces. Otherwise, no matter how high his official rank is, it will be very troublesome if he doesn't have trusted confidants. They must take action now so that they can make plans when something happens.
"Alright, Mother, you don't need to come back if you're busy. I'll be good and obedient in the palace."
Actually, aside from missing his parents, the palace was quite nice. It had everything, and there were people specifically to play with him and practice martial arts with him. When they had free time, they could even teach the Crown Prince to understand an ancient text in their own way. Seeing the Crown Prince's progress was actually quite fulfilling.
As for his parents, it's understandable that they have important matters to attend to and can't take care of him for the time being.
Seeing how sensible her son was, He Jiuniang kissed him on the cheek and said, "Since you're so obedient and sensible, how about I give you a reward?"
The dog's eyes widened, and it asked expectantly, "What reward?"
"That depends on your performance, after all, your mother's requirements are very strict."
"Mother, tell me quickly!"
The dog was already impatient, reaching out to tug at her sleeve, its gesture full of affection.
"It's a very magical sword. Why is it magical? Because it can be a small toy knife, a short dagger, or a long sword. It's very convenient to carry around."
Before he could finish speaking, the dog's mouth turned into an "o" shape, its face filled with disbelief. "Is there really such a magical thing?"
"But wouldn't it be very heavy to change like that?"
"No, it's incredibly light."
He Jiuniang raised an eyebrow, her seductive gaze making Gou'er completely infatuated.
What are Mother's requests?
The dog had already forgotten about his parents not being around; all he wanted now was that magical dagger.
Although he already had quite a few weapons, how could a little boy who aspired to be a great hero complain about having too many weapons?
What's more, it was a weapon given to me by my mother; it's a treasure that you can't buy no matter how much money you spend outside.
Yes, even at such a young age, he already knew that his mother was a fairy. She had things that others didn't, and the things she brought out were always better than what others had. That's the advantage of being a fairy!
He Jiuniang thought for a moment and said, "Didn't the Emperor give you a sword manual before? If you can learn the second level and spar with me a few times, I will give it to you."
"Really?"
Gou'er's smile instantly became even brighter. He had been studying the sword manual recently and practicing slowly, but he had been teaching his elder brother, the young master, so he had become a little lax. As long as he started practicing from tomorrow, he would definitely be able to complete the task his mother had given him.
"When has your mother ever lied to you?"
"Okay! I'll definitely practice hard!"
He nodded heavily. Actually, he felt he could learn the third level, but he didn't want to boast in front of his mother. It would be embarrassing if he failed. He decided to work hard in secret and give his mother a surprise.
Seeing that she had quickly settled things with her son, Lu Baichuan silently gave her a thumbs up, thinking he had learned something new.
With his wife and son back, and the rare opportunity for the family of three to get together, Lu Baichuan decided to leave the prison and go home with them.
As soon as he got home, Gou'er pestered Lu Baichuan to teach him swordsmanship. Although Lu Baichuan had never practiced this sword technique, he was able to summarize his insights. Gou'er valued this point. As long as he grasped the insights Lu Baichuan taught him, he could quickly master the essentials and learn more easily.
"Father, it's better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. Why don't you teach me how to summarize this set of insights?"
The little guy's smile was shrewd; he was quite calculating.
He Jiuniang laughed from the side, while Lu Baichuan said somewhat helplessly, "This is not something that can be taught, but something that can be accumulated through experience. In fact, no matter what kind of kung fu it is, there are connections between each move. As long as you can find these connections and then link them together, it is not difficult to learn."
The little guy pouted in annoyance. How should this be understood?
Just as He Jiuniang was about to speak, a servant came to report: "Master, Madam, someone has come to visit."
