Having children earns benefit, start competing for dominance in the world by marrying a wife

Chapter 596: Chapter 352 The Movements of Great Wu's Remnant Forces_2

Chu Yuqin's face showed a trace of worry. She also thought that Lu Chen's conjecture wasn't impossible. The Sum Emperor had always been a heartless and unprincipled man, he had even harmed his own woman to death. What would killing another child count for his own purposes?

However, now both Lu Chen and she were Grandmasters. Even if the Sum Emperor were to send assassins to North Country, at most he could send a Grandmaster. With the two of them as Grandmasters, plus Zhuge Zhongguang, North Prince Mansion should be safe from danger.

...

After dinner, Lu Chen first took a bath in Wind Cloud Court before heading to Wang Qingci's room.

At that time, Wang Qingci was still coaxing the child. After Lu Chen entered the room, she handed the child in her arms over to the wet nurse.

Wang Qingci twisted her enchanting body over to Lu Chen, "Prince, it is my first time doing 'that' with a Celestial. Please be gentle with me."

Seeing Wang Qingci flirting and trying to seduce him, Lu Chen laughed. It seemed he hadn't been here for too long, and this bitch had forgotten the pain once her wound had healed.

Lu Chen then said, "I am not a Celestial yet."

A Pseudo Celestial is far from a true Celestial. At most, a Pseudo Celestial could be considered at the Zenith Realm within the Grandmaster's Zenith Realm. A Celestial is known as an 'Immortal,' not something a Pseudo Celestial could imitate.

Wang Qingci spoke with a smiling voice, "In my eyes, a Pseudo Celestial is also a Celestial."

As she spoke, Wang Qingci raised her delicate jade hand and started to caress Lu Chen's chest. Lu Chen caught her wrist in one move and then said with a laugh, "Although I'm not a Celestial, my strength is more than enough to deal with you, bitch."

As soon as his words fell, Lu Chen scooped Wang Qingci up in a princess carry, threw her onto the bed, and pressed down on her.

It wasn't until dawn that Lu Chen finally let Wang Qingci go.

Several days later.

Youping County.

Zhan Hong and Xu Xingwen were leading the soldiers of the North Country to retreat back to Great Wu through Youping County.

Zhan Hong had already faintly sensed that something was amiss. He said to Xu Xingwen at his side, "Our supply of food and fodder has been cut off for so many days. I'm afraid that something has happened to Youping County."

After witnessing the mysterious weapons of North Country, they also realized the strength of North Country. Zhan Hong did not believe Ying Feiyu could defeat the garrison of Yongan County with an army of 300,000, given the frightening power of those iron spheres.

At that time, Xu Xingwen said to someone beside him, "Deputy General Wang, take a thousand cavalry immediately to scout the situation in Youping County."

"Yes, General."

Thereupon, Deputy General Wang led a thousand cavalry scouts to investigate the entire situation of Youping County, while Zhan Hong and the others rested with their troops on site.

After an unknown amount of time, the thousand men Xu Xingwen had sent out started to return one after another. Soon Deputy General Wang also returned, and the faces of the returning soldiers were all filled with panic.

Xu Xingwen immediately asked, "Deputy General Wang, what is the situation in Youping County?"

Deputy General Wang replied, "General, Youping County has been occupied by the North Country."

Hearing this, everyone's hearts sank. Sure enough, the thing they least wanted to occur had still happened. It looked like Ying Feiyu had already been defeated.

At this time, everyone on site fell into silence, and both Generals Zhan and Xu did not speak for a long while.

After some time, the voice of a soldier from behind came, "General, the envoy of Great Jue has arrived!"

Hearing this, Zhan Hong and Xu Xingwen immediately looked towards the direction of the voice. At this moment, a person from Great Jue approached Zhan Hong and Xu Xingwen, "I've seen both Generals. This is the intelligence our emperor has given to you."

Xu Xingwen and Zhan Hong looked at each other, then Xu Xingwen took the intelligence from the envoy of Great Jue. After looking at it carefully, his eyebrows knitted together. He immediately understood why the Yue Emperor was still providing them with intelligence on North Country at this time.

The Yue Emperor intended to use the army of Great Wu to continue testing the strength of the North Country army. After all, they were cut off from their retreat, and if they wanted to return to Great Wu quickly, they would have to pass through Youping County.

Of course, they could also take a detour, but detouring would present many problems. If they detoured to the west to return to Great Wu, it would waste more time, and once North Country was aware of it, it might also send out troops to intercept them.

Seeing Xu Xingwen frowning, Zhan Hong asked, "What is written in the Yue Emperor's letter?"

Xu Xingwen handed the letter to Zhan Hong, "According to the intelligence gathered by the scouts of Great Jue, there are only two Master Level Military Generals stationed in Youping County.

The intention of the Yue Emperor is that if we can kill these two generals, it might throw the North Country army into chaos, and then Great Wu could take the opportunity to seize the weapons used by North Country."

Zhan Hong sneered after glancing at the intelligence Xu Xingwen had handed over, then said, "This woman really knows how to play her gambits. She just wants us to take the risk."

Xu Xingwen thought for a moment, then said, "If there really are only two Master Level Military Generals in Youping County, then indeed, if both of us take action, there is a chance we could kill them."

Hearing Xu Xingwen's words, Zhan Hong said, "To deal with two Masters, I alone am enough. But to get close to the two of them will not be easy."

Just then, Deputy General Wang who had gone to gather information earlier stepped forward and said, "General Zhan, based on the intelligence I've just gathered, Youping County is not under martial law. It seems that North Country intends to occupy the entire county, so their troops have not looted or killed the common people of Youping County.

More than that, they are even free to move around Youping County. Lingyun City still has an endless stream of caravans coming and going."
