Northern Territory.
After more than ten days of travel, they were forced to stay outside the North City.
Chu Jun, the second son of King Li, and Zhu Jing, the number one strategist under King Li, had finally reached their destination.
"Sir."
Looking at Ju Beicheng in front of him, Chu Jun's head shrank back and he felt a little flustered.
"Is it too late for us to go back now?" he asked in a low voice.”
"Prince, stop joking."
Zhu Jing shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"Even though Beicheng is right in front of you, you turned around and left.”
"Don't think about those things, Your Highness. With the friendship between you and the Northguard Marquis, I believe that Your Highness will not be in danger.”
Zhu Jing also knew that they had to make a trip to the Northern Territory. It was unavoidable.
Under his arrangement, Chu Jun walked into the main hall and volunteered to come to the Northern Territory.
It was to minimize the danger of this trip to the north with the friendship between the Northern Marquis and Prince Li.
"Is what Mister said true?"
Chu Jun heaved a sigh of relief.
Immediately, he glared at Zhu Jing and said rather unhappily,""At that time, Teacher only said that he had merits to earn, which was enough to make Father look at him in a new light.”
"Sir didn't say that this credit would cost his life.”
Hearing Chu Jun's resentful words, Zhu Jing smiled and narrowed his eyes.
"Your Highness."
"Didn't I come with His Highness?”
"If there was danger, I wouldn't have risked my life to come here.”
As he said this, Zhu Jing gently fanned himself with the folding fan in his hand with a faint smile.
It was rather unfathomable.
"Forget it."
"If it wasn't for my father's order, why would you come to the northern border?”
Chu Jun rolled his eyes and snapped at Zhu Jing.
This time, Zhu Jing choked quite badly.
The unfathomable expression on his face also turned into a mocking smile.
He did not expect to be dragged into this. After all, he had thought about it at that time.
He wanted a general to follow the Second Prince to the Northern Region.
"Your Highness is trying to beat me up.”
Zhu Jing shook his head slowly. He didn't care about it, and a smile appeared on his face again.
"Second Prince, let's go."
"I've been longing for this northern region for a long time.”
As he spoke, Zhu Jing rode his horse out and headed towards the city gate.
"Father, I hope I can return alive and be loyal to you.”
Looking at Zhu Jing's departing figure, Chu Jun gritted his teeth and hurriedly spurred his horse to follow.
Once they entered the city, the two of them saw an incomparably prosperous scene.
"Hiss!"
"Should I say it? As expected of the Northguard Marquis.”
Looking at the prosperous Jubei City, which was no less prosperous than the Imperial City, Zhu Jing's eyes were filled with shock.
Chu Jun, on the other hand, was not as shocked.
Instead, he looked at Zhu Jing with some doubt and asked,""Why do you say that?"
"Does the prince know?"
"What was this Ju Beicheng like ten years ago?”
Zhu Jing smiled and asked Chu Jun.
"I don't know."
Chu Jun shook his head and said softly,"But I also know that ten years ago, the North Rebel City should not have been so prosperous."”
Although he didn't know the details, Chu Jun wasn't a fool.
Before Northguard Marquis came to the Northern Territory, the 13 cities of the Northern Territory had been invaded by the Xiongnu all year round.
How could there be such a prosperous scene?
"More than that."
Zhu Jing led the horse and walked on the street. He said in a deep voice,""Ten years ago, this Ju Beicheng could be said to be hell on earth.”
"Jubei City is the closest to the Hu.”
"The Hu have been wreaking havoc all year round, and the people in the city are suffering. They are as thin as sticks, and corpses are everywhere.”
"Back then, although the North Retreat City was a city, it was almost abandoned. There were only a few thousand people left in the city.”
Recalling the scene he saw in Rubei City ten years ago, Zhu Jing's eyes could not help but flash with killing intent.
"Just ten years."
"With the North Vanquishing Marquis's methods, this North Rebel City is as prosperous as the Imperial City. It's really shocking.”
Chu Jun was shocked. What kind of existence could turn a desolate city into such a prosperous and bustling city in just ten years?
At this moment, aside from fear, Chu Jun also felt respect and curiosity for the Northguard Marquis.
"Back then."
"Who would have thought that the Northguard Marquis would choose to build his mansion in the 13 cities of the northern border?”
"No one would have thought that after Northguard Marquis arrived in the northern region, the Hu would never again invade the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty.”
At this point, Zhu Jing's eyes also had a trace of reverence.
There was no doubt that the Hu were powerful, but the Northguard Marquis was even more powerful and feared.
"A real man should do this."
Chu Jun was so excited that he couldn't help but shout at the top of his lungs, his blood boiling.
Who in the world wouldn't want to become someone like the Northguard Marquis?
Once he came to the north, he guarded the most dangerous place in the north and threatened the Hu people.
They even killed the Hu people until they never stepped into the Great Zhou territory again.
"Hahaha."
Zhu Jing looked at the excited prince and laughed loudly, shaking his head.
He didn't want to hurt the prince, so he didn't say anything.
In this world, there was only one Northguard Marquis.
Although Chu Jun had some talent, it was extremely difficult for him to become someone like the Northguard Marquis.
"Sir, I've decided."
"My goal is to become the second Northguard Marquis and become famous.”
"I hope that you can teach me and supervise me.”
Chu Jun took a deep breath in excitement and cupped his hands at Zhu Jing solemnly.
"Yes."
When Zhu Jing heard this, he saw that the seriousness in the prince's eyes did not seem to be fake and was a little stunned.
However, he nodded and agreed.
As the two spoke, they had already arrived at the entrance of the Zhenbei Lord's Estate.
" This is the Zhenbei Marquis Manor."
Chu Jun looked at the mansion in front of him, his eyes filled with anticipation and excitement.
The trace of fear he felt earlier had long disappeared under his hot blood.
"Prince Li's second son, Zhu Jing, a subordinate of King Li, has come to pay his respects to the Northguard Marquis.”
Zhu Jingshen took a deep breath and knocked on the door of the Zhenbei Manor.
...
In the mansion.
Li Qinghou was in the courtyard, chatting with Xiao He about the world. Xu Chu was expressionless.
A fierce aura emanated from him as he stood behind Li Qinghou.
"Report."
"Reporting to Lord Marquis, there are two people outside the door who call themselves Prince Li's second son. They are Zhu Jing, Prince Li's subordinate. They wish to see Lord Marquis.”
A report interrupted Li Qinghou and Xiao He's discussion.
"Interesting."
"It seems that Prince Li is preparing to attack the Empress. He wants to see what the Marquis's attitude is like.”
Is there anyone watching? If there is someone watching, she would squeak and panic.
