Lu Chen then said, "I can offer you a chance to become a Great General, but you must accompany me to Yan County. Are you willing?"

This...

Xuanyuan Yunqi suddenly felt something was amiss.

Why did it feel like the North Prince was trying to lure her to Yan County to make her his woman?

Despite her concerns, she also thought that without the North Prince's offer, there would be no possibility of her becoming a Great General. If she didn't seize this opportunity, there might never be another chance.

With this in mind, Xuanyuan Yunqi then said, "Your Highness, I am willing to follow you!"

Lu Chen said, "Good! Starting today, General Xuanyuan will stay by my side!"

Xuanyuan Yunqi was bewildered. Staying by his side was not the same as becoming a Great General. How could she lead troops in battle if she was by the North Prince's side?

The North Prince was the future Human Emperor, a leader. Although he had led troops into battle before, as more generals gathered around Lu Chen, it was certain he would not lead the troops himself in the future.

If she stayed by his side, she feared she might not even step onto the battlefield.

Xuanyuan Yunqi was startled, realizing she had been duped!

It wasn't about becoming a Great General at all; the North Prince clearly wanted to deceive her into going to Yan County!

Xuanyuan Yunqi felt a bitterness in her heart, and she didn't dare to say more since Lu Chen was the future Human Emperor.

Seeing Xuanyuan Yunqi's troubled expression, Lu Chen knew what she was thinking and continued, "General Xuanyuan, not just anyone can lead troops on the battlefield. Maybe you could barely manage ten thousand soldiers, but what about a hundred thousand, a million? Could you command an entire army then?"

"To become a true Great General, learning is indispensable. In Yan County, there are many Military Generals, and your brother is there too. We often discuss military matters together. If you stay by my side, you could learn many military strategies and knowledge that you don't yet know. This will greatly assist you in becoming a Great General in the future."

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Xuanyuan Yunqi's mind went blank for a moment.

She had actually suspected that the North Prince was deceiving her. How could she doubt the future Human Emperor? Although the North Prince was indeed a bit lecherous, after all, he was the future Human Emperor, their sovereign, whose word was bond. Anything he promised to do would be done; how could he possibly deceive her?

Xuanyuan Yunqi then said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for giving me this opportunity!"

Lu Chen smiled and once again glanced at Xuanyuan Yunqi's Favorability, which had risen to eighty.

There's hope.

Someday he would make Xuanyuan Yunqi's Favorability reach one hundred without relying on the Dragon and Phoenix Tea.

Of course, he intended to keep the promises he had made. Since Xuanyuan Yunqi wanted to be a female general, he would give her that chance.

In Lu Chen's eyes, Xuanyuan Yunqi was a woman who looked even more beautiful dressed in armor.

Each woman had her own uniqueness, and Lu Chen had no intention of erasing their individual traits. If all women became the same, only beautiful without any distinctiveness, what would be the difference between them and inflatable dolls?

Afterward, Xuanyuan Yunqi first took Lu Chen and his entourage to the livestock farm and then to Great Yu City's largest workshop, the Mohist Workshop.

The rest of the day, Lu Chen spent at the Mohist Workshop, discussing the construction of steam engines and trains with the craftsmen, from the materials to the principles of the steam engine, and then on to which industries the steam engine could be applied.

When the city's craftsmen heard that their sovereign had gone to the Mohist Workshop, they trickled in one after another to see what was happening, and soon the workshop was surrounded inside and out by curious onlookers.

Lu Chen's discussions with the craftsmen at the Mohist Workshop opened the door to a new world for them and showed the citizens of Great Yu City the esteem he held for craftsmen, thereby laying the ideological foundation for the future industrial development.

Seeing Lu Chen discuss a certain machine with the craftsmen, looking very approachable, Xuanyuan Yunqi suddenly felt incredibly ashamed.

She suddenly thought, maybe it was fine for the future Human Emperor to be a bit lecherous, as he was very amiable towards the common people and took good care of his subjects.

If the Human Emperor liked beauties and had more children with his concubines, and if the royal family flourished, perhaps it would have a positive effect on stabilizing the entire world.

In the evening, when Lu Chen and the group returned to the City Lord's Mansion, he was surprised to find that Xuanyuan Yunqi's Favorability had reached ninety. discover stories on mvlem-pyr

He didn't expect that just by having Xuanyuan Yunqi accompany him for one day, her Favorability nearly maxed out.

However, it was a pity that there were still ten points short of one hundred.

Moreover, Xuanyuan Yunqi was a special case; even if her Favorability reached one hundred, he couldn't let her have children right away. He had promised to make her a general, and if he let her get pregnant too quickly, he would be going back on his word. On this matter, Lu Chen had no intention of breaking his promise.

When Lu Chen and his group arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, Lord Xuanyuan was already waiting at the door. Upon seeing Lu Chen's return, Lord Xuanyuan immediately approached, saying, "Your Highness, I apologize for any trouble my daughter may have caused you."

Lu Chen, with a smile, replied, "Lord Xuanyuan jests. General Xuanyuan has been diligent and responsible; she hasn't troubled me at all."

"By the way, Lord Xuanyuan, General Xuanyuan and I have agreed that from now on, she will follow me. When I return to Yan County, she will also accompany me."

Upon hearing this, Lord Xuanyuan was first taken aback, then overjoyed inside, and immediately said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for valuing my daughter so highly!"

What Lord Xuanyuan had in mind was for Lu Chen to marry Xuanyuan Yunqi. He had been worried about Xuanyuan Yunqi's attitude towards Lu Chen, fearing she might resist. To his surprise, after just one outing, the matter seemed settled.

Truly worthy of being the Son of Destiny, the Human Emperor - no woman could resist his charm.

Seeing her father so excited, Xuanyuan Yunqi's lips twitched slightly; she instantly deciphered her father's thoughts.

But she was accompanying the North Prince down south to become a Great General, not to start a family with him. This was likely to disappoint her father.
