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

Chapter 2038 Is the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion planning a rebellion?

Hearing Lu Chen's words, everyone was very curious. What kind of powerful person gave Lu Chen the confidence to dare to take such a big risk to leave the capital?

After regaining his senses, Zhao Yu asked, "Your Highness, what realm of power are you referring to as a 'strongman'?"

In Zhao Yu's view, Lu Chen's so-called strongman was nothing more than a Earth Realm Spirit Warrior, since they had never heard of a Heaven Realm Spirit Warrior in the Great Zhou.

Not to mention the Great Zhou, even the surrounding dynasties did not have any Heavenly Realm experts, otherwise the Great Zhou would have been destroyed by other dynasties long ago.

Upon hearing Zhao Yu's question, Lu Chen glanced at Zhou Xiaoxiao and Zhou Youyou, then answered with a smile, "Late stage of Earth Realm."

Considering that Zhou Xiaoxiao might leak the secret, which could frighten Yun Yudie and make her afraid to meet him, Lu Chen did not tell the truth.

If he were only at the late Earth Realm stage, even if he knew that someone at the late Earth Realm stage was protecting him, Yun Yudie probably wouldn't be afraid.

Upon hearing Lu Chen's answer, Zhao Yu immediately said, "Young Master, even if you have a powerful expert at the late Earth Realm protecting you, you still need to be careful."

While late-stage Earth Realm cultivators are indeed rare in the Great Zhou Dynasty, it doesn't mean that late-stage Earth Realm experts are invincible.

Moreover, they weren't facing humans, but the supernatural.

If those Ghost Kings really want to attack Lu Chen, then there will definitely be more than one Ghost. If a whole host of Ghosts attack Lu Chen at the same time, even if they have four Earth Realm experts on their side, they may not be able to protect Lu Chen.

Most importantly, once they leave the capital, the fortunes of the Great Zhou will decline, and the strange powers will increase significantly.

Zhao Yu did not believe that having four Earth Realm experts on their side meant they could rest easy.

As soon as Zhao Yu finished speaking, Lu Chen said firmly, "Since I said I would go, then I will definitely go."

“If I don’t go to Guangling County soon, I’m afraid my father’s health will completely collapse. A few days ago, news came from Guangling County that my father had been lying in bed for several days and was suffering from the backlash of his spiritual injury.”

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Zhao Yu and the others exchanged glances and fell silent, saying nothing more.

Indeed, if Lu Chen hadn't taken action, no one could have eliminated the Black Fiend within the Prince of Zhennan's body.

Since the Prince of Zhennan was unwilling to return to the capital, Lu Chen had no choice but to risk going to Guangling County.

This left Zhao Yu and his group feeling quite helpless.

If we send Lu Chen to Guangling County, he might encounter danger again; if we don't let him go, their king might not live much longer.

Now we can only hope that they won't encounter any danger on the road.

At this moment, Fu Li said, "Since the young master has made up his mind, then let him go. However, we must be prepared and not let outsiders know that the young master has gone to Guangling County."

Lu Xun spoke up to remind him, "I'm afraid that won't work. The Crown Prince has a special status. If he wants to leave the capital, he must report to the imperial court."

Generally speaking, whether it was a vassal king or a prince, if they wanted to leave their permanent residence, they needed the court's permission.

If you leave your permanent residence without permission, the court may think you are planning a rebellion.

Although Lu Chen was neither a prince nor a vassal king, he was the only child of the Prince of Zhennan.

Even those princes who were not in the capital would send their children to the capital as hostages.

Lu Chen is now essentially a hostage placed in the capital by the Prince of Zhennan.

If Lu Chen had left the capital and gone to Guangling County, or even secretly gone to Guangling County, the court would definitely think that the Prince of Zhennan was planning a rebellion, which was why he, the heir apparent, had gone to Guangling County.

Upon hearing Lu Xun's reminder, everyone immediately realized what was happening. At this moment, Zhao Yu and the others turned their gazes to Ji Yunmeng.

Ji Yunmeng is a royal princess, or you could say she was sent by the royal family to monitor the Zhennan Prince's Mansion.

If Lu Chen is to leave the capital, he will likely need her help.

Ji Yunmeng instantly guessed what everyone was thinking, and she said directly, "I will write to my father. As for whether he will agree, it depends on the Empress Dowager's opinion." Lu Chen said with a smile, "Then I will trouble you, Madam. Let's stop here for today. You all go and make preparations. Once the court agrees, we will immediately head to Guangling County."

No one said anything more, and then they left the council hall.

After returning home, Ji Yunmeng wrote a memorial to the throne.

After returning home, Zhou Xiaoxiao also wrote a letter to Yun Yudie, informing her that Lu Chen had a powerful expert at the late Earth Realm level by his side.

The palace where Pei Shuhua resided.

Pei Shuhua leaned against the soft couch, propping her head up with one hand, while holding the newly delivered memorial in the other.

Normally, she would go to the Imperial Study to review memorials, but because the person who delivered this memorial was special, the person delivered it directly to her bedroom.

Upon reading the contents of the memorial, Pei Shuhua couldn't help but wonder if the Prince of Zhennan's mansion was plotting a rebellion.

They actually want Lu Chen to go to Guangling County. Once Lu Chen leaves, the Prince of Zhennan will be free of restraint and may very well raise an army.

After thinking for a moment, Pei Shuhua said to the maid beside her, "Go and bring over the intelligence we have recently gathered about the Prince of Zhennan."

After receiving the order, the maid turned and left.

A moment later, a maid came to Pei Shuhua with a stack of letters.

Then Pei Shuhua got up and sat cross-legged on the soft couch, slowly reading the letters one by one.

After reading the intelligence gathered by her people, Pei Shuhua thought to herself, "This Prince of Zhennan really does have rebellious intentions."

After the Prince of Zhennan went to Guangling County, he began to recruit soldiers on a large scale.

Although the imperial court did promise to give him military power and the right to build an army, the Prince of Zhennan was perhaps a little too hasty.

However, it seems that the Prince of Zhennan hasn't been having an easy time lately either.

These intelligence reports mention that since the Prince of Zhennan went to Guangling County, he has been investigating an organization called the Yellow Springs Cult.

The Yellow Springs Cult wreaked havoc in Guangling County, massacring villages everywhere and causing the Prince of Zhennan a great deal of trouble.

Pei Shuhua's gaze fell on the three words "Yellow Springs Sect". She had heard of this force before, but had never had any dealings with it.

It seems that the massacres of villages around the capital that were reported by the Zhengui Division some time ago were carried out by the Huangquan Sect.

After pondering for a moment, Pei Shuhua finally decided to allow Lu Chen to go to Guangling County.

Whether Lu Chen went to Guangling County to rebel or not, it was not a bad thing for the royal family.

If they really want to rebel, the royal family can openly and legitimately eliminate the Zhennan Prince's Mansion.

Once Lu Chen leaves the capital and loses the protection of the dragon aura, it will be much easier to kill him.

Meanwhile, inside the Tianyun Sect's training room.

Yun Yudie glanced at the letter in her hand and couldn't help but sneer. Four Earth Realm Spirit Warriors thought they could protect Lu Chen? Wishful thinking. So what if there was a late-stage Earth Realm expert among them?

It should be known that the Heavenly Fortune Sect has more than 6,000 strange entities. Even if not all of these strange entities have been found, they can still gather 4,000 strange entities, not to mention the tens of thousands of evil spirits.

Evil spirits are inherently difficult to kill, and with these strange and evil spirits combined, it would be incredibly easy for them to hold off those four Earth Realm Spirit Warriors.

He was determined to get Lu Chen.

The thought of Lu Chen, a human, daring to covet her body filled Yun Yudie with an irresistible urge to torment him. (End of Chapter)
