Chapter 122: Chapter 120 Queen of North Prince Heads Northi

Translator: 549690339

Mu Zixuan and the others were still anxiously waiting in the courtyard, unable to believe that Yan County had been captured just like that.

Of course, they also didn’t dare to believe it.

If something really happened to Lu Chen, then their sky would have fallen.

At this moment, Zhou Youyou sobbed and said, “Wuwuwu, Queen, the Prince will be fine, right?”

Mu Zixuan sat on the stone bench with a vacant gaze, absentmindedly saying, “I believe in the Prince. The Prince is an Immortal, and Immortals won’t die so easily.”

As the three ladies were beside themselves with worry, a maid rushed in and said, “Queen, Madam Chu and the others are back!!!”

Mu Zixuan immediately got up from the stone bench and then headed for the entrance of the courtyard, but before she reached the gate, Chu Yuqin walked in.

Mu Zixuan immediately asked, “Madam Chu, what’s the situation, are those cavalry from the Barbarian Tribe?”

Chu Yuqin replied, “Zixuan, you don’t have to worry anymore; those cavalry are not from the Barbarian Tribe, but were sent by Chen’er to escort you back to Yan County.”

Hearing this, a huge weight lifted off the hearts of the three women. Zhou Youyou, while wiping her tears, said, “Wuwuwu, that’s such a relief. I thought Yan County had been captured by the Barbarian Tribe.”

Unlike Xiaozhou and Dazhou, Mu Zixuan quickly sensed that something was amiss and immediately asked, “Madam Chu, since when did North City have thousands of cavalry?”

As a general’s successor, even if Mu Zixuan didn’t understand military affairs well, she was still sensitive to such information. When she left Yan County, she was very aware of the military situation there.

The cavalry in Yan County were still being organized; there wasn’t even a significant number of horses that could be used as warhorses, let alone thousands of cavalry.

Where did these cavalry come from?

Upon hearing Mu Zixuan’s question, Chu Qingli felt somewhat pleased within. She couldn’t help thinking that at last she had met someone sane.

Unexpectedly, it was the Queen of North Prince who kept a clear head in the end. Indeed, only the person closest to someone can truly understand them. Everyone else had been bewitched by the North Prince.

Just as Chu Qingli was looking forward to the Queen exposing the lies, Chu Yuqin said, “Zixuan, have you forgotten about the Brocade Guard?”

Upon hearing Chu Yuqin’s question, Mu Zixuan snapped back to reality.

That’s right; she didn’t even know when Lu Chen had created the Brocade Guard. The Brocade Guard was a massive intelligence organization; establishing such a structure couldn’t have been done without a few years’ time.

If Lu Chen had a secret organization like the Brocade Guard, it meant that he had been organizing the cavalry for quite some time; they simply didn’t know about it.

The North Prince was always a man of mystery; it was normal for there to be a few little secrets she didn’t know about.

Thinking this, Mu Zixuan said, “Madam Chu, I understand what you mean. Let’s get ready then, we’ll set off for Yan County today!”

Upon hearing this, Chu Qingli was stunned, her face betraying no emotion even as she felt extremely perplexed and confused internally.

The Queen understood her sister so quickly?

The Brocade Guard?

What was that? Why did the mention of the Brocade Guard make the Queen accept the existence of thousands of cavalry in North City?

Chu Qingli had thought that Mu Zixuan would come to her senses and see through the “Barbarian Tribe’s” scheme, but even Mu Zixuan ended up believing it in the end.

Chu Qingli felt uneasy.

If the North Prince Mansion really went with those outside cavalry, they might end up at the Barbarian Tribe’s court instead of Yan County.

Since all the women of the North Prince Mansion were somewhat beautiful; the Barbarian Tribe could have deliberately sent people to pose as North Prince’s soldiers to deceive them into going to Yan County.

Chu Qingli believed her guess was the correct one; after all, the North Prince was just a waste, how could he possibly defeat the great army of the Barbarian Tribe.

Just as Chu Qingli was worrying that this was a trap set by the Barbarian Tribe, she had a sudden brainwave and realized something.

If this was indeed a trap by the Barbarian Tribe, it might actually be a good thing for her. What did she have to be afraid of?

When the time came, she could just take her sister and flee far away. Although thousands of Barbarian cavalry were daunting, they were all Heavy Cavalry, and her Qinggong was excellent; it’s not certain they’d be able to catch up with her.

She had the capability to whisk away someone amidst a myriad of troops.

With this thought, Chu Qingli couldn’t help feeling a bit excited, looking forward to the women of the Mansion heading north, so she would have her chance.

Meanwhile, Chu Yuqin said, “Hmm, let’s hurry up and prepare. Chen’er has achieved a great victory in North City. If we delay and the news spreads to the south, the south will send people.”

Mu Zixuan wasn’t aware of the extent of Lu Chen’s military exploits yet, but she understood what Chu Yuqin meant.

Immediately, she instructed the maids in the courtyard, “Notify everyone in the Prince’s Mansion at once, pack up your belongings. We’re setting off for Yan County before dusk.”

Meanwhile.

Inside a room of the temporary Prince’s Mansion.

A woman dressed in a red long skirt was tossing and turning uncomfortably on the beauty couch, her long, shapely legs seeming to have no place to rest, at one moment, the left leg over the right, soon after, the right leg over the left.

The woman was wriggling her buttocks on the couch, reclining with her delicate hand propping up her head, displaying her shapely figure perfectly. It was a pity that her graceful figure had no admirers at this moment.

Wang Qingci remained completely oblivious to everything happening in the yard, and hadn’t experienced the panic that Mu Zixuan and the others just went through.
