After Lu Chen had sorted out Wang Qingci, he tossed her onto another chair and then continued to work on the reform proposal for North City.

At this time, Wang Qingci was slumped in the chair, her gaze fixed on the hardworking Lu Chen, and she couldn’t help but admire him a little.

Wang Qingci said in a faint voice, “Prince, how can you be so energetic? You just did that to me, and now you can calm down to work on other things.”

Hearing this, Lu Chen chuckled while writing and then said, “Sorting out a female slave hardly exhausts any of my energy.”

If it were someone else hearing Lu Chen’s words, they might have felt hurt, but Wang Qingci felt nothing of the sort, considering her status was indeed that of Lu Chen’s female slave.

However, Wang Qingci said somewhat unconvinced, “The Prince is a Grandmaster, and speaks so assertively. When your servant breaks through to the Master Realm one day…”

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen put down his pen, looked up at Wang Qingci sitting in the chair, and asked, “When you break through to the Master Realm, what are you planning to do?”

“Don’t tell me you’re considering rebellion?”

At this point, Lu Chen revealed a trace of a kind smile.

Wang Qingci pursed her lips and then said, “Once your servant breaks through to the Master Realm, I will serve you even better.”

Wang Qingci also felt somewhat uncertain; although breaking through to the Master Realm would greatly enhance her strength and physical fitness, and she might be able to spar with Lu Chen, it wasn’t beyond possibility.

But this guy Lu Chen couldn’t be judged by ordinary standards; who knew if he had more powerful moves up his sleeve that he hadn’t yet used, and she might be subdued again quite quickly.

By the time she reached the Master Realm, Lu Chen might already be a Grandmaster.

The gap between a Grandmaster and a Master was enormous.

Lu Chen was already so fierce, so powerful; if he were to break through to the Grandmaster Realm, who knew how much stronger he would become.

Just thinking about Lu Chen breaking through to the Grandmaster Realm and the significant improvement in his physical strength, Wang Qingci’s delicate body couldn’t help trembling.

But fortunately, Lu Chen had so many women; although she was Lu Chen’s female slave, she had her own matters and didn’t have to stay in the Prince’s Mansion to serve him every day.

It seemed she shouldn’t provoke Lu Chen anymore in the future.

Just then, the voice of a Jinyiwei Guard came from outside the study, “Prince, a letter has arrived from Tianguang City.”

After hearing this, Lu Chen said indifferently, “Xiao Huan, bring it in.”

Since the study had just been the site of a great battle, Jinyiwei guards were not allowed in.

The maid at the door of the study immediately went to the Jinyiwei Guard, took the intelligence report from his hands, and then brought it into the study.

Lu Chen took the bamboo tube from the maid’s hand, pulled out the intelligence report, and started to read it seriously.

Seeing the content on the report, a smile spread across Lu Chen’s face once again.

He had initially instructed the soldiers of Tianguang City to dress the corpses of the dead Barbarian Tribe captives in Great Sum attire, mainly as a precaution; he did not truly believe that Lin Xiuming would have nothing better to do than to go digging up graves.

Unexpectedly, there indeed were spies within the Imperial Army who went to excavate the graves to confirm whether the bodies of North City soldiers were buried inside.

It seemed that for a while, he wouldn’t be able to let the Black Cavalry show themselves in North City; the concealment of the bodies could only be temporary, and sooner or later others would come to Yan County to inquire about the Black Cavalry.

If the Black Cavalry were seen around at this time, it would be noticed that North City’s Heavy Cavalry hadn’t been wiped out.

North City was about to undergo reforms; in the coming time, it was essential to be as low-key as possible to avoid drawing the attention of the Imperial Court.

As for whether the reforms in North City would catch the attention of the Imperial Court, Lu Chen believed that those people wouldn’t have the leisure to concern themselves with a Seignior messing around in his own territory.

After setting aside the intelligence, Lu Chen continued writing the reform strategy for North City.

In the following days, Lu Chen essentially spent all his time in the study; he didn’t ride or practice spear for several days, and the women of the inner courtyard of the Prince’s Mansion noticed Lu Chen’s unusual behavior.

They sensed that something significant was bound to happen in North City soon; otherwise, Lu Chen wouldn’t have stayed in the study for several consecutive days.

About seven days later, the North Prince Mansion directly issued a royal decree, calling for the officials of North City to come to the Prince’s Mansion for a council.

Upon receiving the royal decree from the North Prince Mansion, the officials in North City were somewhat bewildered. Typically, lower-ranking officials did not qualify to participate in the council, but the North Prince was summoning all ranked officials to the Prince’s Mansion for a council.

What was he planning to do?

The North Prince wasn’t planning to purge the officials of North City, was he?

Once the royal decree was issued, some corrupt officials instantly felt extremely guilty and panicked.

Some of them were so frightened that they immediately fled North City, but those who ran were quickly recaptured by Lu Chen’s Jinyiwei Guard.

In fact, Lu Chen had no intention of dealing with the corrupt officials; North City was short of Civil Officials, short of managerial talents, and if he struck at the corrupt officials now, he wouldn’t have many people left to work for him.

However, for those who were more severely corrupt, he still intended to make an example of a few, and those scared enough to run were, for the most part, the more seriously corrupt ones.

Early the next morning.

Lu Chen had just gotten up and after washing up and finishing his porridge, a maid came to tell him that Li Rui and some other officials from Yan County had already arrived at the door of the study, waiting for him.
