Chapter 261: Chapter 194: Let’s see what this little man he’s interested in really wants to do_2

Lin Xiuming performed a salute and said, “Thank you for your concern, Prince.”

Lu Chen immediately turned around to leave, but as he reached the door, he suddenly thought of something, then turned his head to Lin Xiuming and said, “Oh, right, General Lin, please pass a message to Prime Minister Lin when you return. Tell him that I am very fond of Wanyun and once North Country has settled down, I will marry her.”

Lin Xiuming was slightly stunned. The North Prince’s declaration to marry Lin Wanyun meant that he had accepted the allegiance of their Lin Family.

“Certainly, Prince. I will tell my father upon my return.”

Lu Chen didn’t say anything more, then he turned his head again and left the room.

Lin Xiuming called out from behind him, “Farewell, Prince!”

After Lu Chen left the room, Lin Xiuming also returned to the military camp. He stayed in Yan County for one night, and the next day led the imperial army of twenty thousand back to the Capital city.

In the Great Wu Dynasty, within the Green Cloud Palace.

Wearing a red dress, Wu Junwan stood in the hall, her skirt slit to reveal her snowy long legs as a breeze wafted by, giving her a graceful and majestic demeanor.

With an intelligence report in hand, Wu Junwan’s expression shifted constantly, as if deep in thought.

At that moment, she murmured, “All the lands under the heavens belong to the emperor, and all those who live within its borders are his subjects… Such grandeur, this young man has. Is he not afraid of death at all?”

It was clear that the intelligence report Wu Junwan held detailed events occurring in North City, especially about the reforms there.

Wu Junwan found it hard to believe that a mere Seignior dared to issue such a challenge against the Aristocratic Family and Scholar Officials class.

At this time, a female guard beside her asked, “Princess Junwan, do we still need to send someone to North Country?”

Wu Junwan turned to look at the guard and asked, “Why not send someone?” The female guard answered, “The North Prince’s actions have clearly angered the Great Xia Aristocratic Families and the class of Scholar Officials. Now that the war between Great Wu and Great Xia is close to ending, as soon as the war is over, those Aristocratic Families will probably seek to kill the North Prince.” Upon hearing the guard’s words, Wu Junwan smiled slightly and said, “I didn’t expect you to guess that the war is about to end as well.”

Both Great Wu and Great Xia had amassed large armies in Xiwu County, seemingly prepared for total war. The common people all believed that the war would be fought to the death.

But the higher-ups of both dynasties understood that the war at Xiwu County was the last battle. Once Great Wu captured Xiwu County, the war would come to an end.

Hearing Wu Junwan’s words, the guard immediately knelt halfway and said, “I should not make unwarranted comments on court affairs. Please punish me, Princess Junwan.”

Wu Junwan replied indifferently, “It doesn’t matter, these are trivial matters. Besides, you’re right, the war is indeed about to conclude. The Chu Family’s carriages have been entering the Imperial City one after another lately, obviously preparing for the end of the war.”

“Rise.”

The guard then stood up and said, “Thank you, Princess Junwan, for your forgiveness.”

Wu Junwan continued, “We still need to send more spies to North Country. The North Prince isn’t that simple.”

“If the North Prince dares to propose laws on land ownership at a time like this, it shows he has made preparations.”

“I don’t believe he will be easily assassinated. If he were to die so easily, everything he has done would be nothing but a joke,” she said.

Having said that, Wu Junwan looked up at the sky outside the great hall and continued with a smile, “I’m getting more and more interested in this young man.”

A mere Seignior daring to challenge all the Aristocratic Families and Scholar Officials of his kingdom – this wasn’t something an ordinary person could do. Wu Junwan was curious about who gave the North Prince the courage, possibly the mysterious superpower supporting him?

Was this superpower not worried about their chess piece, the North Prince, being taken care of? Or was it intentional, letting the North Prince act this way to aggravate the Aristocratic Families and Scholar Officials of the Great Xia Dynasty for some ulterior motive?

While Wu Junwan was contemplating these things, a maid rushed hurriedly into the Green Cloud Palace.

“Greetings, Princess Junwan!”

Seeing the maid’s flustered appearance, Wu Junwan asked curiously, “Xiaodie, what’s happened?”

The maid quickly said, “Good news, Princess Junwan. Mr. Chai has been reinstated to his position, and the Emperor has appointed him as the envoy to Great Xia.”

Chai Jiliang had always had good relations with Wu Junwan, and even the maids in the Green Cloud Palace could tell that he held a special feeling for the Princess Junwan, which is why he remained unwed.

Hearing the maid’s words, Wu Junwan smiled slightly, then said, “It seems that the war is indeed coming to an end. It’s just that we don’t know where those Heavy Cavalry from North Country have gone. There’s still no news of them.”

Wu Junwan had been keeping an eye on North Country’s movements, particularly those of the Heavy Cavalry. She had dispatched numerous scouts to gather information, but up until now, the Heavy Cavalry had not appeared again in North Country, which made Wu Junwan worried that they might suddenly emerge on the battlefield and catch the Great Wu army by surprise. However, with the war almost over and that force not appearing on the battlefields of both dynasties, it likely meant that the troops had not headed to the front lines of the dynastic war.
