Upon hearing Lu Chen’s words, Chu Yuqin immediately asked, “Chen’er, what has happened again?”
Lu Chen replied, “The Tower Master of Blood Moon Tower personally came to Yan County. He wants Qingci to lure me to Hundred Flowers Tower. If that so-called Mysterious Grandmaster is with me, the people from Blood Moon Tower will head straight to the Prince’s Mansion and slaughter everyone. If the Grandmaster is not with me, they plan to kill me first at Hundred Flowers Tower, then use my death to draw out the Mysterious Grandmaster.”
Hearing Lu Chen’s words, Chu Yuqin’s brows slightly furrowed, and then she snorted coldly and said, “Blood Moon Tower is incredibly audacious, persistently attempting to assassinate a Seignior again and again!”
At this point, Chu Yuqin looked at Lu Chen, “Chen’er, what do you plan to do?”
Lu Chen said indifferently, “It’s time to deal with the trouble that is Blood Moon Tower. It’s okay to kill me, but if they want to harm my wife and children, then they all deserve to go down and meet Yama.”
Lu Chen’s words were very calm, but his tone was filled with murderous intent.
This time, he was truly enraged. His system had decided that his women were his weakness, and now that they were being targeted, he would not let the other party live.
Lu Chen continued, “Getting rid of Blood Moon Tower is just the beginning. The person behind the scenes is still out there. Without Blood Moon Tower, other organizations of assassins will come knocking. It’s time to give a warning to the person behind the scenes.”
Hearing this, Chu Yuqin instantly understood what Lu Chen meant. Lu Chen was planning to make a move on a certain Prince in the Capital city.
Chu Yuqin, of course, would not stop Lu Chen. After all, that Prince had sent assassins to kill Lu Chen time and time again—this was something no one could endure.
However, Chu Yuqin still reminded him, “Chen’er, the Barbarian Tribe is moving southward. If you decide to take action against someone in the Capital city, you need to ensure your subordinates handle it cleanly. Otherwise, if your father the Emperor finds out, he might very well refuse to send you reinforcements.”
Lu Chen responded, “Madam Chu, rest assured, 1 am well aware of the pros and cons.”
Lu Chen then said to a maid outside the study, “Xiao Xue, go and summon Commander Qin.”
The maid’s voice came from outside the door, “Yes, Prince.”
After the maid left, Lu Chen said to Chu Yuqin with a smile, “Madam Chu, I will have to trouble you to head to Hundred Flowers Tower in a while.”
Chu Yuqin immediately realized what Lu Chen wanted to do. He wanted to make the people from Blood Moon Tower believe that she and the Grandmaster were accompanying Lu Chen to Hundred Flowers Tower, thus luring the assassins to come and slaughter the Prince’s Mansion.
Chu Yuqin said, “Alright, Chen’er, you need to be very careful.”
Although she knew that Lu Chen’s strength was no longer what it used to be, Chu Yuqin still subconsciously worried about him since she had watched him grow up from a child.
Now that the Brocade Guard was involved, actions in the Prince’s Mansion were expedited considerably. It hadn’t been long since Qin Yushan had arrived at the Prince’s Mansion when he had the Brocade Guard set up an ambush there.
If the assassins from Blood Moon Tower dared to come, they would have no return.
Although Blood Moon Tower had a Grandmaster, so did Qin Yushan, and he was not just any Grandmaster. Taking down a minor Grandmaster from Blood Moon Tower would not be much of a challenge for him.
To make the ruse more convincing, Lu Chen had someone sent to Mu Mansion to tell Mu Changtian that something very important had come up and requested his presence at the Prince’s Mansion.
When Mu Changtian heard that the North Prince had a task for him so soon, he was very pleased.
Being tasked immediately upon his arrival in North City meant that the North Prince valued him greatly. His fear was that the North Prince might sideline him indefinitely.
A General not favored by his sovereign is worthless.
The time had come for him to showcase his worth!
Subsequently, Mu Changtian dressed himself meticulously according to Lu Chen’s request, his entire persona resembling a Martial World Knight, with a wide-brimmed hat covering his face, rendering him unrecognizable.
When Mu Changtian arrived at the Prince’s Mansion full of enthusiasm, thinking that Lu Chen was about to entrust him with an important mission, Lu Chen spoke to him, “Father-in-law, I need you to visit Hundred Flowers Tower, pretend to be the Mysterious Grandmaster of the Prince’s Mansion, and help me divert the attention of Blood Moon Tower’s assassins. Make them believe that the Mysterious Grandmaster has left the Prince’s Mansion, which will draw them into attacking us.”
Hearing these words, Mu Changtian was stunned momentarily. Distracting the assassin’s attention? How was that an important matter?
Lu Chen even had his servant relay to him that it was an extremely important matter, only for this outcome?
Although he was somewhat disappointed, Mu Changtian still accepted the order and said, “Yes, Prince.”
Having said this, Mu Changtian couldn’t help but ask curiously, “Prince, how many assassins has Blood Moon Tower sent to assassinate you this time? Don’t you need my help?”
Mu Changtian still wanted to strive for a chance, even though he knew Lu Chen had many strong fighters under his command; after all, he was himself a Grandmaster, and a Grandmaster could play a greater role.
Lu Chen smiled faintly, then said, “There aren’t many assassins; they can be dealt with quickly. I won’t be needing my father-in-law’s help for the time being.”
Seeing Lu Chen say this, Mu Changtian didn’t insist on imposing himself and could only follow Lu Chen’s instructions, accompanying a decoy prince to the Hundred Flowers Tower.
On the way to the Hundred Flowers Tower, Mu Changtian asked curiously to Madam Chu beside him, “Madam Chu, how many experts has Blood Moon Tower sent this time?
Chu Yuqin replied, “I’m not sure about that, but 1 heard that their Tower Master has come personally.”
This…
Upon hearing Chu Yuqin’s response, Mu Changtian was taken aback. The Tower Master of Blood Moon Tower himself had come, and the North Prince could still afford such a nonchalant demeanor?
Soon, Mu Changtian calmed his inner thoughts. With so many strong fighters under the command of the North Prince, there was indeed no need to fear Blood Moon Tower.
At best, the Tower Master of Blood Moon Tower was just a Grandmaster, and the North Prince surely had more than one Grandmaster under his command. Blood Moon Tower seeking out the North Prince Mansion was purely a death wish.
Mu Changtian thought to himself, let it be, there would be plenty of opportunities to show loyalty after arriving in North City; there was no need to rush. The North Prince said he was to train the Cavalry, which was also considered a significant appointment.
Before long, the Prince’s Mansion carriage arrived at the door of the Hundred Flowers Tower.
Seeing a man wearing a bamboo hat and Chu Yuqin standing next to the carriage of the Prince’s Mansion, Zhou Hanwen on the loft slightly curled the corners of his mouth, “Miss Wang, it seems just as you said, these two will be constantly protecting the North Prince.”
“Next, I shall trouble Miss Wang to find a way to detain the North Prince. I will be heading to the North Prince Mansion now,” he added.
Wang Qingci smiled and said, “Tower Master Zhou, take care. I will try my best to delay and wait for your return.”
No sooner had Wang Qingci’s words fallen than Zhou Hanwen, along with the people from Blood Moon Tower, headed for the North Prince Mansion.
At this moment, evening had arrived, the sun had set, and the fiery sunset cast its glow on the people, tinting their skin with a bronze hue.
Zhou Hanwen and his group sped through the streets, heading straight for the North Prince Mansion.
At that time, the North Prince Mansion was unusually silent; it seemed there was not a single person inside the mansion.
When Zhou Hanwen and his men climbed into the North Prince Mansion, they found there wasn’t a single servant inside.
Zhou Hanwen’s eyebrows furrowed; he instantly sensed something was amiss.
The next moment, countless arrows came flying towards them, and Zhou Hanwen realized they had been tricked.
Yet Zhou Hanwen was still very confident; as a Grandmaster, such arrows couldn’t possibly injure him.
Being a Grandmaster, he could sense that the man at the Hundred Flowers Tower wearing a bamboo hat was also a Grandmaster.
The Mysterious Grandmaster and Chu Yuqin were both not in the North Prince Mansion. Even if there were some guards left in the mansion, how could they possibly prevent him from massacring the North Prince Mansion?
Zhou Hanwen then said to the assassins of Blood Moon Tower behind him, “Kill on my command! Spare no one from the North Prince Mansion!”
