Having children earns benefit, start competing for dominance in the world by marrying a wife-Chapter 420 - 264 Murong Xue’er_1

Lu Chen slowly passed through the main road into the city, and soon the people saw that behind him, on the cart, there was a wooden rack, and hanging upon that rack, a corpse. Behind that corpse was a long procession of barbarian captives.

Seeing the body hanging from the wooden rack, spies from other nations were almost all stunned.

Although most of the spies had never seen Tianqi King in person, they all had his portrait to verify whether the news of Tianqi King's death at the hands of North Country was true or not. The corpse hanging from the rack looked almost identical to Tianqi King's portrait.

The spies from various countries couldn't help but think, could it be that North Country really did defeat Tianqi King's forces?

At this moment, Wang Maoxue, who was by Murong Xue'er's side, spoke up, "Lord Murong, you have accompanied Her Majesty the Empress in the war against the Barbarian Tribe and should have seen Tianqi King."

Even though Wang Maoxue hadn't asked if the body hanging there was truly Tianqi King, Murong Xue'er knew what he wanted to ask by saying this, and she promptly said, "That body is indeed Tianqi King's body. The news of the annihilation of Tianqi King's army can basically be confirmed as true now."

"Moreover, the North Prince is not as simple as we imagined; he is a Martial Artist with Martial Arts Talent no less than that of Her Majesty the Empress."

Upon hearing Murong Xue'er's latter statement, the officials from the Da Yue embassy were instantly stunned.

A Martial Arts Talent no less than their Empress—could that not mean that North Prince was a Grandmaster...

How could this be possible?

The information they had collected on North Prince all indicated that he had previously never practiced martial arts. How long had he been in North Country? Even if he started practicing martial arts now, it wouldn't be possible to break through to the Grandmaster Realm in such a short time, would it?

Keep in mind that their Empress had started practicing martial arts from childhood and also had a highly powerful Master, making her strong as she was now.

In just a few years, had North Prince reached the Grandmaster Realm?

At this time, Wang Maoxue said, "Lord Murong, you couldn't have seen it wrong, right?"

Murong Xue'er casually said, "I haven't seen it wrong. He indeed has become a Grandmaster. Although he's concealing his Martial Artist aura, this cannot deceive everyone."

Upon hearing what Murong Xue'er said, everyone felt it was unbelievable. North Prince's growth rate was way too fast. Could they be facing a very powerful enemy in the future in their Da Yue Dynasty?

The Empress had sent them to foster good relations with North Country—it was unclear whether this was a good or bad thing.

...

Amidst the cheering of the common people, Lu Chen returned to the North Prince Mansion.

By this time, his wives and concubines were already waiting at the entrance of the North Prince Mansion.

When they saw Lu Chen return, smiles crossed the faces of his women.

They had thought Lu Chen would be away from Yan County for months and hadn't expected the war to end so quickly.

Lu Chen dismounted and said to the women with a smile, "My ladies, your darling has returned. Why don't you seem excited?"

The previous times Lu Chen had gone on long journeys and reunited with them, they had been very excited, but today, Mu Zixuan and the others seemed much calmer.

At that moment, Mu Zixuan approached Lu Chen and said with a smile, "My Prince, our excitement is all inside."

Lu Chen gave a naughty smile and said, "Oh, is that so? Then, I need to check to see if my lady is truly excited on the inside."

As he said this, Lu Chen immediately pulled Mu Zixuan into his embrace, as if he were about to examine her body. Blushing, Mu Zixuan softly protested, "My Prince, the sisters are all watching."

Lu Chen laughed and did not truly inspect Mu Zixuan's body, then continued, "Well, let's go back."

Without much further conversation, they headed towards the Prince's Mansion.

At this moment, two graceful silhouettes lingered behind the group.

Seeing Lu Chen's back, Chu Qingli's heart was in utter turmoil.

She too had thought that it would be months or even half a year before Lu Chen returned. Yet in so little time, he had annihilated Tianqi King's army and returned to Yan County.

Now that Lu Chen had returned to Yan County, did that not mean she and her sister were going to marry Lu Chen?

Her sister had told her not long ago that Lu Chen would marry them once he returned and had told her to mentally prepare herself. ƒгeewebnovёl.com

How could this man come back so soon when she wasn't yet mentally prepared?

At this moment, Chu Yuqin beside Chu Qingli was also feeling somewhat flustered. Her heart was racing; she vaguely remembered the words Lu Chen whispered in her ear before he left—when he returned, he would marry her.

Now that there were no obstacles to Lu Chen marrying her, did that mean she would become Lu Chen's woman before long?

Although she had lived in the inner court and heard many stories, she had never been intimate with Lu Chen; she was still a virgin. The thought of being with Lu Chen and becoming like his other women made Chu Yuqin feel her face heat up and her heart become a chaos of emotions.

Then, within her heart, Chu Yuqin comforted herself: wasn't it just becoming Lu Chen's woman? What was there to be nervous about? They had hugged and kissed before; doing that wasn't any different from hugging and kissing, and there was no need to be this nervous.
