"Even if she were defeated by you, she would most likely take her own life. You can forget about having her body."

Lu Chen laughed, unconcerned, "How can we know without trying?"

"But anyway, there's no point in talking about her right now. The battle between the North Country and Great Jue won't come so soon. Let's talk about us instead."

Wu Junwan said coldly, "I've already become your pet. What is there left to discuss between us?"

Wu Junwan felt that she was now just a plaything for Lu Chen, but she had let go of her past obsessions and somehow felt that this life might not be so bad for her.

As long as she treated this young man in her heart as her own lover, it wouldn't be so hard to bear.

...

Half a month passed in a blink of an eye.

During this time, Lu Chen was waiting for the arrival of Chen Wanrong. However, she hadn't come down from the mountain yet, which made Lu Chen suspect that her master was preventing Chen Wanrong from coming to be close to him.

In these two weeks, the Brocade Guard was extremely busy. With the higher-ranked members unable to be deployed and the workload increasing, they had to investigate the item transported back from the South by the Heavy Cavalry, as well as the whereabouts of the Crown Prince, all of which kept the lower-ranked Brocade Guards on edge.

Anping City.

The soldiers at the city gates were checking the passing caravans. Meanwhile, a trade convoy slowly approached the gates of Anping City. Inside one of the carriages, a man showed a nervous expression.

Beside the man sat an exquisitely beautiful woman in purple gauze, her face showing concern, "Darling, will the North Prince truly accept us?"

The man, furrowing his brows, said, "I still have some information he wants to know. As long as he's willing to receive us, I'll tell him everything."

The woman replied, "After all, you are his elder brother. If he also covets the throne, it's very likely he won't let you live."

Although Great Xia had long abandoned the primogeniture system, there was still a conservative faction that yearned for it.

If Prince Lu Yi were not dead, there would naturally be those with ulterior motives gathering around him, then trying to incite him.

Therefore, the woman was unsure whether the North Prince would give them refuge.

Upon hearing her words, the man's complexion darkened and became very ugly, "Now I have no way out."Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Soon, the convoy arrived at the checkpoint at the city gate.

Prince Lu Yi's guard hurriedly approached the checkpoint, hoping to bribe the inspecting soldiers with silver, but the soldiers didn't accept their bribe.

Seeing this through the curtains, Prince Lu Yi grew worried.

At that moment, his guard said they were a grain-carrying merchant convoy from the Capital city.

When the soldier heard this, he insisted on checking the people in the carriage.

As the guards hesitated, Prince Lu Yi coughed from inside the carriage, "Let them check!"

The main reason they managed to escape to Anping City was their disguises; the Crown Princess Consort had remarkable Disguise Skills.

In this situation, it was unlikely anyone would recognize them.

Following that, the soldiers began checking systematically, and soon one of them opened the carriage curtain, briefly scanning the people inside.

Seeing nothing amiss, the soldier let them pass without causing any trouble.

After successfully entering Anping City, Prince Lu Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

By entering Anping City, which meant reaching the territory of the North Country, he expected the Shadow Guards would not dare to cause trouble within the North Country.

As the caravan slowly moved into Anping City, the soldier who had been in charge of the inspection immediately said to the soldier beside him, wearing black and red attire, "Inform the Prince immediately. The target has safely arrived in the North Country."
