Translator: 549690339
As they drew closer to North City, every member of the Duke Mu Residence became increasingly tense.
The women of the Duke Mu Residence were thinking about finally being able to see Mu Zixuan, especially Mrs. Mu, who had always wanted to know how her daughter was faring in the North Prince Mansion.
The men of the Duke Mu Residence, however, were anxious about whether they would merely pass through North City and then continue northward.
If they were merely passing through North City, they would be headed into the territory of the Barbarian Tribe, where betraying Great Xia would definitely be impossible for them.
Soon, Mu Changtian and the others discovered that upon reaching North City, the caravan did not stop; they were still traveling further north.
This made Mu Changtian’s heart jump to his throat.
Could these people truly be spies for the Barbarian Tribe?
Immediately, Mu Changtian popped his head out of the carriage and asked the Brocade Guard riding outside, “Little brother, where are we heading to?”
The Jinyiwei Guard promptly replied, “Duke Mu, our destination is Yan County. It will take a few more days to reach.”
Upon hearing the Jinyiwei Guard mention a specific destination, Mu Changtian breathed a slight sigh of relief; they were going to Yan County.
Then Mu Changtian pulled his head back into the carriage, and at that moment, Mu Xingping asked, “Father, I remember the North Prince is in Yan County? Could it be that the Mysterious Prince they spoke of is truly the North Prince?”
Mu Changtian shook his head and then said, “It can’t be him. Yan County is the most prosperous city in North City; it’s not strange that the Mysterious Prince would meet us in Yan County.”
Mu Changtian never thought that Lu Chen would be such a powerful figure, after all, everyone knows what kind of prince he is.
A few days later.
North City, Yan County.
The Mu Mansion caravan, disguised as a merchant convoy, slowly entered Yan County. Upon arrival, the people inside the carriages opened their window curtains to observe everything outside.
At that moment, Mu Changtian was resting with his eyes closed, when Mu Jingwu reminded him, “Father, we have arrived at Yan County!”
After hearing Mu Jingwu’s reminder, Mu Changtian opened his eyes and looked out through the window.
Although Yan County was the most flourishing city in North City, at one glance, one could see the difference between Yan County and other cities in Great Xia.
The common folk on the streets were mostly dressed in patched clothing, and not just a few patches, but many. Moreover, many of the commoners were barefoot, walking without shoes.
If one had to find something to commend about North City, it would be that the people’s eyes shone brightly, looking spirited as if filled with hope for the future.
At this time, Mu Xingping said, “I didn’t expect the most prosperous Yan County in North City to be this poor. It seems it won’t be easy for North City to develop. I also wonder how my sister is doing in the North Prince Mansion.”
Mu Jingwu spoke up, “Don’t worry, although North City is poor, the North Prince Mansion is definitely not. I heard that the North Prince Mansion earns hundreds of thousands of silvers a month just from selling perfumes and soaps.”
At this moment, Mu Changtian’s thoughts weren’t inside the carriage. He was eager to meet the Mysterious Prince.
In his heart, he was already planning how he should react if the other party turned out to be from the Barbarian Tribe.
Meanwhile.
North Prince Mansion.
Lu Chen had just finished exercising with Wang Qingci, and now they were picking out portraits of women to participate in the selection for the Prince’s Mansion concubines.
Although Mu Zixuan had already made a choice once, since Lu Chen was taking concubines, he certainly had to have a look himself.
However, Lu Chen wasn’t particularly concerned about portraits.
Portraits were even more misleading than modern photo frauds. Photo frauds are at least photo-edited based on the original, while portraits are purely subjective depictions by the artist.
Still, Lu Chen reluctantly selected some portraits of women that appeared quite beautiful. After all, this was only the initial selection; the actual choosing of concubines still required him to see them in person.
Without seeing them in person, he wouldn’t know how many points each woman truly deserved.
Just then, a Jinyiwei Guard entered the courtyard and announced, “Prince, the family of Duke Mu has arrived!”
Hearing this, Lu Chen immediately rose from the stone bench.
They had finally arrived, which was a surprise for Mu Zixuan indeed.
Immediately, Lu Chen said, “Arrange a meeting for us at once.”
“Yes, Prince.”
Having reported the situation, the Brocade Guard turned and left.
The carriages of the Mu Mansion finally stopped at the Joy Tavern in Yan County.
After entering the tavern, a middle-aged man of immense strength and towering height approached Mu Changtian.
Seeing the man before him, Mu Changtian felt a shock in his heart.
Another Grandmaster!
How terrifying the forces under the Mysterious Prince must be – it wasn’t long since they had encountered two Grandmasters!
Qin Yushan then spoke up, “Duke Mu, you three please come with me.”
Qin Yushan was naturally referring to Mu Changtian and his two sons.
Hearing what the man before them said, Mu Changtian and his sons understood that they were likely going to meet the Mysterious Prince.
At that thought, all three were filled with immense excitement.
So, Mu Changtian and his sons separated from the women of the Mu family, who went to the back yard of the tavern, while they followed Qin Yushan to the second floor.
However, when they reached the private room on the second floor, the Mysterious Prince was nowhere to be seen.
Qin Yushan said at that time, “Duke Mu, please wait a moment longer, our Prince will be here shortly.”
Mu Changtian didn’t think too much about it; they just needed to wait.
As time ticked by, after approximately a quarter of an hour, the door to the room was opened.
Upon hearing the noise from the door, Mu Changtian and his two sons immediately stood up from their chairs, their eyes fixed on the doorway, eager to see who would appear!
However, when the door slowly opened, a familiar face appeared before the three men.
Seeing the arrival, Mu Changtian was dumbfounded.
He mumbled to himself, “North… North Prince???”
Not just Mu Changtian was dumbfounded, his two sons were also frozen in place.
They knew who the North Prince was.
Mu Changtian still remembered the time when the North Prince had left the Capital city, he had seen the prince once, and at that time, the North Prince’s mind was still very naive, unaware of even the political taboos.
How could such an ignorant person, utterly witless in politics, have such an immense force at his command?
Mu Changtian couldn’t help but think, could it be that the North Prince had always been hiding his talents, pretending to be useless, making others truly believe he knew nothing?
If that were the case, the North Prince’s scheming was too deep!
The North Prince had fooled not only them but all the common people of the Great Xia Dynasty.
The three of them did not believe the North Prince was the Mysterious Prince until they entered North City, and now, the person they were seeing turned out to be the North Prince himself.
With such deep cunning and the immense force he commanded, there was no need to guess what he intended to do.
Seeing the disbelief on the faces of Mu Changtian and his sons, Lu Chen smiled and asked, “Father-in-law, you seem very surprised to see me?”
Hearing Lu Chen’s words, Mu Changtian and his sons finally snapped back to reality and hurriedly paid their respects, saying, “We pay homage to the North Prince!”
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
