Having many children brings many blessings; the struggle for power begins with marriage.

Chapter 58 Bei...King of the North? ? ?

As they got closer to Beijun, the Mu family became increasingly nervous.

The women of the Duke of Mu's mansion were thinking that they would finally be able to see Mu Zixuan, especially Mu Shi, who had always wanted to know how her daughter was doing in the Northern Prince's mansion.

The men of the Duke of Mu's mansion were worried that they might just be passing through Beijun and then continue north.

If they were just passing through Beijun, they would be heading to the barbarian territory. They certainly couldn't betray the Great Xia.

Mu Changtian and his group soon discovered that after arriving in Beijun, the convoy did not stop; they continued heading north.

This made Mu Changtian's heart jump.

Could these people really be barbarian spies?

Mu Changtian then leaned out of the carriage and asked the Imperial Guards on horseback, "Young brother, where are we going?"

The Imperial Guard soldier immediately replied, "Duke Mu, our destination is Yancheng, and it will take us a few more days to get there."

Upon hearing the Jinyiwei soldiers reveal the specific destination, Mu Changtian finally breathed a sigh of relief; it turned out they were going to Yancheng.

Mu Changtian then pulled his head back into the carriage. At this moment, Mu Xingping asked, "Father, I remember the Northern King is in Yancheng? Could it be that the mysterious prince they were talking about really is the Northern King?"

Mu Changtian shook his head and then said, "It can't be him. Yancheng is the most prosperous city in Beijun. It's not surprising that the mysterious prince would meet us in Yancheng."

Mu Changtian didn't think Lu Chen had such a huge force at all, after all, everyone knew what kind of prince Lu Chen was.

a few days later.

Beijun, Yancheng.

The Mu family's caravan, disguised as a merchant caravan, slowly entered Yancheng. Upon arriving in Yancheng, the people inside the carriages opened the curtains and looked around at everything outside.

At this moment, Mu Changtian was resting with his eyes closed when Mu Jingwu reminded him, "Father, we've arrived in Yancheng!"

Upon hearing Mu Jingwu's reminder, Mu Changtian opened his eyes and looked out the window.

Although Yancheng is the most prosperous city in Beijun, one can immediately see the difference between Yancheng and other cities in Daxia.

Most of the people on the road were wearing patched clothes, and many of them were barefoot.

If one had to find something to praise about Beijun, it would be that the people's eyes shone with a vibrant energy, as if they were full of hope for the future.

At this moment, Mu Xingping said, "I didn't expect that Yancheng, the most prosperous city in Beijun, is still so poor. It seems that it won't be easy for Beijun to develop. I wonder how my little sister is doing in the Beiwang Mansion."

Mu Jingwu said, "Don't worry, although Beijun is poor, the Beiwang Mansion is not poor at all. I heard that the Beiwang Mansion can earn hundreds of thousands of taels of silver a month by selling perfumes and soaps."

At this moment, Mu Changtian's thoughts were not on the carriage; he only wanted to see that mysterious prince.

He was already planning in his mind what he should do if the other party was a barbarian.

at the same time.

North Palace.

Lu Chen and Wang Qingci had just finished exercising and were now in the pavilion selecting portraits of the women who had participated in the Wang Mansion's concubine selection process.

Although Mu Zixuan had already made her selection once, since it was Lu Chen taking a concubine, she still had to let Lu Chen see her.

However, Lu Chen didn't particularly care about portraits.

Portraits are even more outrageous than modern photoshopped images. While photoshopped images are still photoshopped on the original basis, portraits are purely the artist's subjective creation.

However, Lu Chen still reluctantly selected some of the more attractive female portraits. After all, this was just the preliminary selection, and he would need to see them in person before making the actual selection of concubines.

He wouldn't know how many ratings those women had unless he saw them in person.

Just then, a guard in brocade robes entered the courtyard. "Your Highness, the entire Mu family has arrived!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen immediately stood up from the stone bench.

Their family finally arrived, which was a pleasant surprise for Mu Zixuan.

Lu Chen then said, "Arrange for us to meet immediately."

"Yes, Your Highness."

After reporting the situation, the Imperial Guard turned and left.

……

The Mu family's convoy eventually stopped at the Yancheng Yuelai Restaurant.

Upon entering the restaurant, a tall, incredibly strong middle-aged man approached Mu Changtian.

Upon seeing the man before him, Mu Changtian was taken aback.

Another grandmaster!

Just how terrifying is the power under that mysterious prince? In such a short time, they have already encountered two grandmasters!

Qin Yushan then spoke up, saying, "Duke Mu, please come with me, you three."

Qin Yushan was referring to Mu Changtian and his two sons.

Upon hearing the man's words, Mu Changtian and the other two understood that they were about to meet the mysterious prince.

The three of them were incredibly excited at the thought.

Immediately afterwards, Mu Changtian and his group separated from the women of the Mu family. The women of the Mu family went to the backyard of the restaurant, while Mu Changtian and his group followed Qin Yushan to the second floor.

However, when they arrived at the private room on the second floor, they did not see the mysterious prince.

Qin Yushan then said, "Duke Mu, please wait a moment, our prince will be here shortly."

Mu Changtian didn't think much of it; all he had to do now was wait.

Time passed by, and after about 15 minutes, the door to the private room was opened.

Upon hearing the noise at the door, Mu Changtian and the other two immediately stood up from their stools, their eyes fixed on the doorway, eager to see who it was!

However, as the door slowly opened, a familiar face appeared before the three of them.

Upon seeing who it was, Mu Changtian was dumbfounded.

He muttered to himself, "The... the Northern King???"

Not only was Mu Changtian dumbfounded, but his two sons were also stunned.

They knew perfectly well who the Northern King was.

Mu Changtian still remembered that he had met the Northern King once when the Northern King left the capital. At that time, the Northern King was still very naive and did not even know about political taboos.

How could someone so ignorant and politically inept wield such a massive power?

Mu Changtian couldn't help but wonder if the Northern King had been hiding his true abilities all along, pretending to be a useless person, so that people would really think he knew nothing.

If that's the case, then the Northern King's scheming is too deep!

The Northern King not only deceived them, but also the entire population of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Even when they entered Beijun, none of the three of them believed that the Northern King was the mysterious prince. In the end, however, they met the Northern King himself.

With such deep cunning and such a vast power at his disposal, it's no longer a question of what the Northern King intends to do.

Seeing the incredulous looks on Mu Changtian and the other two's faces, Lu Chen smiled and asked, "Father-in-law, you seem quite surprised to see me?"

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Mu Changtian and his two sons finally came to their senses and quickly bowed, saying, "Greetings, King of the North!"
