I’ll Be the Male Leads Sister-in-Law-Chapter 462
Jiang Mingwei remembered very clearly that in his previous life, Ye Luji crossed the Yellow River in a destructive manner, besieged the capital and chased the Emperor and his party like a dog that lost its owner. Because of this contribution, Ye Luji became the most prideful Prince of Beirong, to the point where even Ye Luyan could not compete with him. When Ye Luyan was fighting for the throne, Ye Luji also caused him a lot of trouble.
Why was the development completely different now?
Jiang Mingwei was contemplating for a long time before she realised numbly that it was because of Xie Xuanchen. In her previous life, Xie Xuanchen died of illness early, so he was naturally unable to stand up to the challenge, let alone turn the tide in a critical moment. Just because there was one more person named Xie Xuanchen in the story, even the general flow of history could be stopped and completely turned in another direction by him.
Jiang Mingwei had never been so confused in her life. The plot of the Lantern Festival was gone, the plot of the peace negotiation was gone and now even the plot of escaping southbound was gone. Xie Xuanji’s several notable achievements in the book were all taken away. If things continued as such, would Xie Xuanji still have a role to play?
***
Although Xie Xuanchen came to chase after Ye Luji and his men, it was taboo to cause their own cavalry exhaustion from continuous, reckless charging, so Xie Xuanchen had no intention of actually chasing them. After crossing the river, he first went to Daming City to replenish food and hay, allowing his team to rest before heading for Enzhou City with sufficient food and water.
People in the city along the way were so grateful to see Xie Xuanchen, going as far as to wish that he stayed forever. They had no complaints about Xie Xuanchen’s request to enter the city. The news that he headed north to deal with the Beirong people had spread throughout the country. Ye Luji’s 80,000 troops were still staying in the Ye Dynasty. Except for a few military towns and the capital, everyone in the other cities were in danger of fending for themselves. With Xie Xuanchen here, requesting no more than food and water for his men, they were already more than willing to grant his requests, let alone disregard him.
The Ye Dynasty had no other significant ability besides having a lot of money. All problems that could be solved with money were not exactly problems, and if they didn’t give it to Xie Xuanchen, they’d be robbed of it when Ye Luji attacks. Therefore, they might as well give it to Xie Xuanchen as a protection fee of sorts.
Mu Mingtang also entered Enzhou City. The Senior Magistrate of Enzhou City treated her respectfully and persistently invited her to stay at his mansion.
Mu Mingtang refused and asked the Senior Magistrate for another residence to be prepared. It did not need to be luxurious and spacious since all she requested was for a house that was clean and safe.
Although the Senior Magistrate was regretful, he was not surprised. He wanted to get close to Xie Xuanchen through Mu Mingtang, but how could the Prince rest assured of putting the Princess on someone else’s territory? The Senior Magistrate had already expected this result and though Mu Mingtang said that there was no need for luxury, the Senior Magistrate did not dare to have her stay in a residence that was miles far from the level of comfort the royals would be used to. Therefore, he tried his best to find a small courtyard with extremely exquisite internal facilities for her.
