The prosperous Kyoto always has a constant stream of caravans from various states or travelers coming and going. Dalon’s attitude towards all states is an open-minded attitude, so there is a large flow of people coming in and out of the gate of Kyoto.

Emperor Dalong once issued an order stating that the people of all states should be tolerant and could travel freely in Dalong.

The entrance to Kyoto.

"Stop, routine inspection."

The guard at the door raised his hand to stop the caravan's vehicles, and a large group of foreign people also stopped and began the normal inspection.

The side of the huge caravan was a visual blind spot. A man in ragged clothes, with disheveled hair and a hunched back quickly rushed into Kyoto City from this location.

The man stood on the busy street of Kyoto, slowly straightened up, took off the shawl that was tightly wrapped around his head, then slowly raised his head and took a deep breath.

"The air in Kyoto is still the best."

The man who looked like a beggar and a vagrant had a completely new temperament. He was none other than the general of the imperial guards, Lu Yu.

Lu Yu did not die, and returned to Kyoto intact.

At this time, Lu Yu's eyes, which were already as fierce as a jackal's, were even more gloomy. In the past month, he traveled all the way from the border, climbed through the desert, and crossed the snow-capped mountains, changing his appearance all the way to hide his face and identity.

Only he himself knows how much suffering he has gone through.

One month ago, Mu Bai lured Lu Yu over under the pretext of discussing how to deal with Xiao Ruge and Mu Gu, and then he wanted to kill him. Fortunately, Lu Yu received a tip-off from an insider in advance and knew Mu Bai's purpose. In fact, he already knew Lu Yu's true identity and was worried that Lu Yu would threaten his position as the crown prince and wanted to take action against him, so Lu Yu was already on guard in advance.

Because he was alone, he did not choose to resist in person, but instead saved his life by faking his own death.

When he fell to the ground, he could clearly feel someone searching for something on his body. That thing was the jade pendant that proved his identity as a prince.

But all this was within his expectations. The real jade pendant had been replaced by him in advance, and what was destroyed by Mu Bo was just a fake jade pendant.

In fact, Lu Yu did not think that Mu Bo's attack on him was a bad thing. On the contrary, it could be said to be a rare opportunity, an opportunity for him to make a complete comeback.

His fake death just happened to allow Xiao Ruge and Mu Gu to relax their vigilance. According to the information conveyed by his subordinates in Kyoto and the insiders in the palace, the emperor had begun to feel dissatisfied with Mu Bo. If he took the opportunity to find out his identity, he might not only get the identity of a prince.

Now he has a clear understanding of the situation in the palace.

Crown Prince Mu Bai will soon lose trust and can no longer sit firmly on the throne of crown prince. The fifth prince Mu Rong has been exiled to the frontier, the seventh prince Mu Gu is out of favor, and the eighth prince is still young and cannot handle the heavy responsibility at all. As long as I find the right time and make my identity public, I will most likely take the throne of crown prince in one fell swoop.

The old emperor has been obsessed with the art of immortality for some time, and he probably doesn't have much time left.

By then, he would become the new emperor of Dalong, above everyone else, able to call the wind and rain with ease, and all the cold stares, harsh treatment and hatred he had suffered in the past would be returned to him.

Thinking of this, the curve of Lu Yu's mouth became more and more wild.

His dynasty is about to come.

A carriage stopped on the side of the street, in front of Lu Yu, and the curtain was opened.

"General, get in the car."

The person who stuck his head out of the car was Lu Yu's most loyal subordinate, Lu Shiqing.

Ever since Lu Yu released the news of his death, Lu Xuanying has been staying in Kyoto, managing Lu Yu's intelligence network and many subordinates. While collecting information from the palace, he also passed on information to Lu Yu who was in exile on his way back to Kyoto.

Until he heard the news that Lu Yu was about to return to Beijing, Lu Xuanying had been preparing since the night before, packing up a secret residence and travel route, planning everything, just waiting for the moment Lu Yu arrived in Kyoto.

"What is the emperor's attitude towards Mu Bo now?"

Lu Yu stepped into the carriage with the help of Lu Xuanying's extended hand. Seeing the neatly placed clothes and washed towels, his mood became even better.

Lu Xuanying spoke while twisting Lu Yu's handkerchief.

"The emperor rarely summons Mu Bo now. Although he has not officially abolished Mu Bo's position as crown prince, his attitude has become much colder."

Not deposing Mu Bo's position as the crown prince would still be a great threat to Lu Yu. This emperor has always been a man with a changeable mind and unpredictable mood. They should not be impatient and have to wait for a more appropriate time.

"Tell me if you have any other news."

Lu Xuanying kept her head down as she tidied Lu Yu's clothes. Her village was massacred when she was very young, and it was Lu Yu who took her away and taught her kung fu and the ability to kill. If it weren't for Lu Yu, she would have died in the wilderness long ago. When she was a child, she only admired Lu Yu as her savior, but day by day, Lu Xuanying grew into a graceful woman. Although she still did killing things for Lu Yu, she was still a woman after all, and she always had some girlish emotions in her heart.

Her hand accidentally touched Lu Yu's strong chest, causing Lu Xuanying's ears to blush.

"Also... there's something wrong with Mu Bo's body. He probably won't be able to have children in the future and won't be able to continue the royal family."

Lu Yu raised his eyebrows. It seems that he is more confident now.

"Good news, any more?"

Lu Xuanying was about to say something when he suddenly remembered Xiao Mingyue.

"And, General, your wife..."

Lu Xuanying had prepared everything, and Lu Yu quickly put on a clean robe. He then leaned against the carriage seat with his chest exposed, waiting to go home and take a bath.

"Don't call someone Madam if she's already dead. How will Xiao Mingyue deal with it?"

Lu Xuanying's shoulders trembled when she heard that, and she quickly knelt in front of Lu Yu. A month ago, when Lu Yu made this plan of faking his death, he told her that Xiao Mingyue must be killed and dealt with cleanly. This was the first time she disobeyed Lu Yu's order. No matter what the reason was, she was the one who did something wrong.

"General, I apologize to you. I didn't kill Xiao Mingyue..."

Lu Yu frowned and tapped the table with his fingers. This was the prelude to Lu Yu's anger. Lu Xuanying quickly spoke.

"General, please listen to my explanation."

"explain."

After getting Lu Yu's permission, Lu Xuanying breathed a sigh of relief and spoke slowly.

"Your...husband...Xiao Mingyue is pregnant. It's your child..."

Lu Xuanying lowered her head and didn't dare to speak, nor did she dare to look at the emotion on Lu Yu's face. She knew without even looking that Lu Yu must be extremely angry.

Lu Yu stood up slowly, and her outer robe, which was originally closed, loosened. She walked to Lu Xuanying and helped him up with her hands.
