Chapter 894: Li Yuzhu & Mu Yuanxiu Extra (07): Mentor!_2

In the government office of Baili Huang, an urgent discussion was underway at the moment.

There was chaos in the Beiyan Army, and from afar, one could see flames rising in the opponent’s camp.

But Guoguo and Baili Rui were nowhere to be seen.

Needless to say, those two kids must have run off to see the commotion.

Baili Huang couldn’t find the two kids and was anxious.

Just then, a subordinate reported that some local men had arrived, bringing with them a Beiyan captive.

Baili Huang remembered hearing from Mu Yuanxiu that he would take some hunter friends to raid the Beiyan camp, could it be them?

"Quick, have them come in."

Xiao Shan and a few others, escorting the captive, walked into Baili Huang’s office.

The local men, seeing Zhao Country officials for the first time, nervously and respectfully greeted him, "Lord Baili."

"Are you companions of Yuanxiu? Thank you for your hard work." Baili Huang was pleased and ordered seats for them.

Xiao Shan was flattered, "Thank you, my lord."

A soldier pushed the captive before Baili Huang.

Baili Huang looked over the captive, his eyes lit up, "Ha, I was wondering who this was, turns out it’s Xin Hu!"

Hearing this was Beiyan’s famous General Xin Hu, Xiao Shan was greatly surprised, "Ah, Lord Baili, this man is not a good person, you must not let him go!"

"Yes, this man is ruthless and has killed countless people, my lord, you should repay him in kind!" Xiao Shan’s subordinates shouted along. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Baili Huang curled his lips in a cold smile, "Beiyan’s other Supreme General Xin Hu, notorious for his brutality, over the years has killed tens of thousands at our border. I have prepared boiling oil, I won’t let him go easily. Take him away, don’t let him die!"

Xin Hu cursed, "Don’t be too pleased too soon! Just wait, Empress Dowager Hui will avenge me!"

Xiao Shan thought of the Empress Dowager who was captured by Mu Yuanxiu and laughed coldly, "You can give up on that idea, my people have captured the Empress Dowager Hui, maybe she’s a corpse by now, ha!"

Baili Huang was delighted, "Ah, who captured the Empress Dowager?"

"It was Brother Mu, my good brother Mu Yuanxiu!" Xiao Shan replied with a smile.

Baili Huang asked again, "Where is he?"

Xiao Shan said, "Ah, I don’t know where he went, but he said he wouldn’t let the Empress Dowager escape."

Over there, Xin Hu was taken away, his heart filled with shock, what? The Empress Dowager was truly kidnapped?

Wait, the person who kidnapped her...

Named Mu...

Mu Yuanxiu?

That name...

He suddenly remembered something, the late Emperor’s only son was named Mu Yuanxiu.

Could it be?

The late Emperor’s only son has come for revenge?

Xin Hu’s heart grew even more fearful, Mu Yuanxiu is back, and all of Empress Dowager’s followers will die!

...

Mu Yuanxiu traveled alone, taking Empress Dowager Hui with him along the journey.

After a day’s travel, he found a carriage, locked Empress Dowager inside, and continued on the road.

Empress Dowager Hui was furious and kept cursing him for mistreating her.

Mu Yuanxiu ignored her and coldly laughed, "There’s a family that was transported from the Capital to the Southern Land thousands of miles away and survived, why can’t you?"

"Why should I, the Empress Dowager, be like a commoner?"

"If it weren’t for your collusion with Yu Wen Zan, would that family be degraded? Consort Hui, if my mother hadn’t brought you into the palace, would you be sitting in your current position? How dare you call others commoners?" Mu Yuanxiu coldly laughed.

He swung a whip into the carriage, and Empress Dowager Hui let out a cry, fainting!

"If you want to plead your case, we’ll slowly settle it in the Imperial City!"

...

The Beiyang Imperial City, far in the Northern Desert.

The carriage traveled day and night, racing northward in the icy world, even at its fastest, it would take a month.

A month later, Mu Yuanxiu arrived at the Beiyang Imperial City with Empress Dowager Hui.

The gatekeeper stopped him and asked, "Who are you, and where are you coming from?"

Mu Yuanxiu showed the Dark Feather Guard Token he had acquired, "Dark Feather Seven."

He replied in Beiyan language.

Though he hadn’t spoken Beiyan for years, he spoke with some hesitation but very accurately.

The gatekeeper, seeing the Dark Feather Token, was startled and did not dare to ask further questions, immediately making way.

Mu Yuanxiu drove the carriage smoothly into the city.

Once familiar, but now seemingly foreign, the Beiyang Imperial City, the place of his birth, the place of his suffering.

Now, he had returned.

He didn’t want to come back, but some people forced him to return.

The Beiyang Imperial City lacked the prosperity of Zhao Country Capital and its population was less than Zhao Country’s.

But the roads were exceptionally wide.

Since every household traveled by carriage, the streets were wider.

In the early spring season, Zhen An Prefecture in Zhao Country was already warm and blooming, but the Beiyang Imperial City was freezing with ice.

Mu Yuanxiu’s carriage raced on the smooth streets, almost slipping several times.
