Lu Chen took the intelligence from the Jinyiwei Guard’s hand, glanced at it, and his eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Martial artists of Master Level such as Su Teng were spotted by the Brocade Guard upon entering Yan County, so no matter where Su Teng and his group went, they would be closely monitored by the Brocade Guard scattered throughout the county. Every move they made was under the watchful eye of the Brocade Guard.

Su Teng’s information had already been in Lu Chen’s study for half a month. The Brocade Guard had infiltrated all walks of life; finding out what tasks Spirit Martial Tower had recently accepted was not difficult.

Lu Chen glanced at the intelligence in his hand again, and then muttered to himself, “It seems those fellows can’t wait any longer. Since that’s the case, let’s take care of them before anything else.”

Having said this, Lu Chen turned to the Jinyiwei Guard who had brought the intelligence and said, “Summon General Mu, General Wenren, and General Xuanyuan to my study. Also, tell General Xuanyuan to mobilize some Black Cavalry to seal off Yan County.”

Upon hearing this, the Jinyiwei Guard reminded, “Prince, deploying the Black Cavalry might expose the fact that the Black Cavalry of the North Country has not been destroyed. Recently, many spies from enemy states have arrived in Yan County.”

Lu Chen replied indifferently, “Just mobilize a portion of the Black Cavalry. 1 have never told the court that the Black Cavalry was completely annihilated.”

When Lu Chen wrote the battle report, he only mentioned that over forty thousand of the North City’s Black Cavalry had died in battle, not that the entire Black Cavalry was wiped out. It was to ensure that he could use the Black Cavalry at a critical moment.

Of course, to others, the death of over forty thousand Black Cavalry soldiers, with only some wounded left, was virtually no different from annihilation.

The Jinyiwei Guard said no more, “Understood.”

“I shall take my leave.”

Afterward, the Jinyiwei Guard turned and went to deliver the orders.

The morning court session had just ended, and military generals like Mu Changtian and Xuanyuan Chen had not gone far. Upon hearing that Lu Chen needed to see them, they immediately returned to North Prince Mansion and came to Lu Chen’s study.

Upon seeing Lu Chen again, Mu Changtian asked curiously, “Prince, what has happened?”

Lu Chen said, “The assassins sent by the Aristocratic Families have already arrived in Yan County, and they plan to attack the North Prince Mansion tonight.”

Hearing this, Mu Changtian was taken aback, but he quickly realized that ever since Lu Chen enacted the law to reclaim landownership rights, he knew that this day would come.

The Aristocratic Families would never allow the emergence of a trend whereby land within Great Sum returned to royal ownership. Only with the North Prince dead would they find peace.

Mu Changtian asked, “Prince, the Brocade Guard must have confirmed the assassins’ location, right?”

Since Lu Chen had raised the fact that the assassins had already reached Yan County, it meant the Brocade Guard had discovered their whereabouts. Otherwise, Lu Chen would not have gathered all these military generals.

Lu Chen nodded and said, “Their location has been confirmed. 1 had intended to deal with them when they attacked the North Prince Mansion tonight.” “However, upon further thought, I have pregnant wives and children in the mansion. The commotion will frighten them if it gets too big, so I’ve decided to take action ahead of time and eliminate them all.”

Mu Changtian said, “Prince, where are those assassins now? Let’s take our troops and deal with them right now.”

Lu Chen promptly called over the Jinyiwei Guard who was monitoring the assassins and then assigned tasks to Mu Changtian and the others.

There were three groups of assassins in Yan County now, and to avoid alerting them, Lu Chen planned to take care of them all in one fell swoop.

At this moment, Qin Yushan said, “Prince, it’s still daylight. If we move now, some of your weapons might not be usable, and they could be seen by spies from other countries or the common people.”

Qin Yushan knew that Lu Chen had powerful weapons like grenades and the Barrett at his disposal, which certainly would be used against these assassins. Using such things in broad daylight in the city would inevitably be noticed by the public.

As the word spread from one to ten, and from ten to a hundred, the secrets of North Country would be revealed.

Qin Yushan continued, “1 suggest arranging soldiers to ambush on their inevitable path, then act at night.”

Lu Chen thought it over. The news he had received indicated that the assassins would act at night, so ambushing them then would indeed be the best choice.

Lu Chen said, “Commander Qin’s consideration is reasonable. Let’s deploy the soldiers first and make our move tonight. However, this might catch the assassins’ attention, so be very cautious when moving the soldiers.”

Mu Changtian said, “Rest assured, Prince. 1’11 have soldiers disguise themselves as merchants entering the city. There have been many merchant caravans in Yan County lately, so it’s unlikely the assassins will notice anything unusual.” “Even if they do sense something’s off, they’ll probably assume these soldiers disguised as merchants are just like them, here to assassinate you.”

Lu Chen thought for a moment and then said, “Alright, go and prepare.”

Together they responded, “Yes, Prince!”

After they left, Lu Chen immediately went to the courtyard where Chen Wanrong resided.

At that time, Lin Wanyun and Chen Wanrong were sitting in the pavilion drinking tea. The Dragon and Phoenix Tea from the Prince’s Mansion was very good, and it had both a refreshing and mind-awakening effect. They had grown fond of the flavor of Dragon and Phoenix Tea after drinking it..
