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

Chapter 6 My dear brother, may you rest in peace.

Lu Chen was very satisfied with Mu Changtian's arrangement. Don't underestimate Li Feng just because he is only a seventh-rank martial artist. In this world, the strength of a seventh-rank martial artist can be considered as being able to defeat a hundred people.

Moreover, the soldiers Li Feng brought were mostly of the second or third rank, and there were no ordinary soldiers among them.

In other words, they are all elites; there are no cannon fodder.

Lu Chen then said, "General Li, please get up. I believe your strength is sufficient to protect me and my family."

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Li Feng stood up as soon as he finished speaking.

Then Li Feng whispered in Lu Chen's ear, "Your Highness, Duke Mu asked me to remind you that the Eighth Prince has already sent people to Beijun."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen frowned slightly and pondered for a moment.

The Eighth Prince?

Lu Shuyun?

What was he doing sending people to North County?

Kill yourself?

Lu Chen quickly realized that Lu Shuyun's mother also came from a prominent family in Jiangnan, so Lu Shuyun needed the Chu family's support the most to seize the throne.

Once he dies, the Chu family will inevitably choose a descendant from another prominent family in Jiangnan.

I never expected that Mu Changtian could even find out this kind of information.

It seems that although Mu Changtian has been removed from his post, he still retains control over the army.

No wonder her father was so wary of Mu Changtian.

Lu Chen then said, "Okay, I understand."

Lu Chen then mounted his horse and said, "Now that everyone is here, let's set off and get to Beijun as soon as possible."

Lu Chen now only wants to reach Beijun and begin his cultivation journey.

Both the Qi Refining Technique and the Rejuvenation Hand require cultivating feelings with one's wives and concubines before one can practice them. The so-called cultivation of feelings refers to matters between men and women.

However, it is obviously inconvenient to be on the road; a safe place is necessary.

As for the threats on the road, Lu Chen didn't take them to heart.

Below the level of a grandmaster, everyone is just a mortal!

No ordinary person can stop a bullet; the Desert Eagle and Barrett in his hands are no pushovers.

Then the people from the Northern Prince's Mansion lined up and left the city in a grand procession.

Unlike when Lu Chen got married, not a single minister from the court came to see him off today, not even his father-in-law.

There were only ordinary people watching the play on both sides of the road.

Lu Chen didn't really care about these things; he didn't care whether anyone gave him a gift or not.

As the convoy passed a restaurant, a man dressed in a blue brocade robe on the second floor watched the receding figures.

At this moment, the man spoke up and asked, "Are you ready?"

"Your Highness, rest assured, we have made all the arrangements. Blood Moon Tower has sent one eighth-rank official and two ninth-rank officials this time."

"As soon as they leave the jurisdiction of the capital, the Blood Moon Tower will take action immediately."

Hearing his subordinate's words, Lu Shuyun gazed at Lu Chen, who was on horseback, and then muttered to himself, "If Chu Yuqin hadn't gone to Beijun with you this time, I wouldn't have chosen this path. My dear brother, may you rest in peace!"

Lu Shuyun originally thought that after Lu Chen left the capital, the Chu family would completely abandon him, since even the Xia Emperor had already banished him to the harsh and cold northern region.

To Lu Shuyun's surprise, Chu Yuqin, a ninth-rank expert, would also go to Beijun with Lu Chen.

What does this tell us?

This shows that the Chu family had no intention of giving up on Lu Chen at all!

Otherwise, the Chu family would never have allowed Chu Yuqin to go with him.

Since the Chu family hasn't given up yet, the only thing we can do is help them make up their minds.

Soon.

Lu Chen and his group then left the city.

After leaving the city, Chu Yuqin saw Lu Chen riding a horse, and her eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Those people inside the city didn't dare to make a move, but it was a different story outside the city.

Lu Chen is too conspicuous on horseback; if someone shoots arrows at him, it will be impossible to defend against.

Chu Yuqin immediately rode her horse to Lu Chen's side. "Chen'er, you should go back to the carriage."

Lu Chen turned to look at Chu Yuqin and said, "Don't worry, Aunt Chu, even if someone wants to harm me, it won't be near the capital."

Chu Yuqin said, "It's better to be safe than sorry. You should listen to your aunt and go wait in the carriage."

Chu Yuqin's tone was somewhat serious, after all, this involved Lu Chen's safety and could not be taken lightly.

At this moment, Li Feng also came over from a distance. "Your Highness, we are about to leave the jurisdiction of the capital. You should go to the carriage."

"The carriages sent by Duke Mu were reinforced and could withstand most arrows."

Seeing that they both said so, Lu Chen decided not to argue any further.

He is currently only a first-grade martial artist, which means he is only slightly better physically than an ordinary person. If someone were to ambush him, he still wouldn't be able to react in time.

Lu Chen then said, "Alright, I'll leave the safety of the area to you. If anything happens, notify me immediately."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Chen returned to the reinforced carriage that Mu Changtian had prepared for him.

At this time, Lu Chen and his princess Mu Zixuan were separated. If someone were to launch a sneak attack, even if Lu Chen was in danger, Mu Zixuan and the others might still survive.

The carriage convoy moved slowly along the official road. Not long after leaving the jurisdiction of the capital, a dense forest appeared ahead of the straight road.

Li Feng immediately reminded the guards, "Pay attention! Be aware of your surroundings!"

Chu Yuqin also said to the guards of the Prince's mansion, "From now on, you must not leave the carriage even for a moment."

After the convoy entered the forest, the light suddenly dimmed considerably. Lu Chen looked out the window and, seeing how dark it had become, realized that they might be in danger.

Lu Chen then took out a Desert Eagle from his system space and loaded it with bullets.

The Desert Eagle has five hundred bullets, which should be enough. Moreover, he doesn't need to deal with the weaklings; Li Feng and the others can handle that. He only needs to deal with the experts who are coming straight for him.

Just as the convoy entered the depths of the forest, a "whoosh whoosh whoosh" sound came from afar, followed by a barrage of arrows falling from the sky.

Li Feng immediately shouted, "Enemy attack! Protect the Prince!"

Upon seeing this, Chu Yuqin quickly drew the sword from her waist.

Hearing the various noises outside, Lu Chen became somewhat nervous, not expecting that there really were enemies.

At that moment, he heard a "whoosh whoosh" sound coming from the carriage, and he knew that it was the sound of arrows hitting the carriage.

It must be said that the carriage sent by Duke Mu was truly remarkable, as it managed to block all the arrows fired by the enemy.

In this way, as long as I don't go out, those arrows won't be able to hurt me.

After the first volley of arrows, some people dressed in black, wearing masks, and carrying large knives charged directly at the caravan.

These people were mostly around the third rank, while the leader was an eighth-rank martial artist.

Upon seeing this, Li Feng immediately led his guards to fight the assassins.

At this time, Lu Chen's personal guards still did not leave the carriage. Their main task was to protect Lu Chen and his family and prevent the enemy from launching a feint attack.

Chu Yuqin didn't help Li Feng either. She stood not far from Lu Chen's carriage, keeping a close eye on her surroundings.

Chu Yuqin did not believe that the other party would only send an eighth-rank martial artist.

The fact that the assassin was able to summon so many third- and fourth-rank martial artists at once means that the force behind him is definitely not simple, and the other party must also have a ninth-rank martial artist coming.

Just as Chu Yuqin was keeping watch on her surroundings, a gentle breeze blew through the woods, and the falling leaves split in two in the air before slowly landing on the ground.

A sharp glint flashed in Chu Yuqin's eyes.

"The real enemy has arrived!"
