Help! My pet supervillain has three personalities!

Chapter 300 The Crown Prince's Domain

"Alright, it's up to you. Anyway, you can have this. Oh, by the way, if the War King needs a carpenter's shop, remember to recommend my shop. I can give you a 10% discount, okay?"

Zhao Wu: "...Understood."

They really can't stand to suffer even the slightest loss.

"By the way, when you're transporting this piece of wood out, remember to wrap it in a cloth so no one else can see it. It's very valuable, and if someone bumps into it, you'll lose a lot of money."

Tang Yue spoke with such conviction that Zhao Wu felt he should believe her, but he still harbored a slight doubt.

"Are you sure you got this through legitimate channels?"

"uh-huh!"

"That's fine then. Don't worry, I'll bring people to cover it up tomorrow."

Actually, we might have to have our own carpentry shop make it eventually, so whether we can take it or not is another matter. But we still can't ask for less money.

All the money saved up in the future will be A-Yue's dowry.

"Okay, alright, we've looked at the stuff, let's go home. If we don't go to sleep soon, I'll get dark circles under my eyes!"

"Beautiful women shouldn't have dark circles under their eyes."

As Tang Yue spoke, she rubbed her eyes and walked back.

Zhao Wu followed behind helplessly.

The night was slightly cool, the moon cast shimmering shadows, all things were silent, and everything had returned to dreamland!

…………

The next day, ordinary people, dressed in simple clothes, began to get busy as the morning light began to appear. The movement of people indicated that the city was beginning to awaken.

Zhao Wu dressed himself up early and headed out of the city.

Three miles away lies their army's encampment. Today marks their triumphant return and their official entry into the capital.

Everyone had already gathered at the camp in twos and threes, donning their armor. When Zhao Wu returned, he happened to run into Zhao Kongchen.

Like all students who are afraid of meeting their teachers, Zhao Wu was also a little afraid of meeting Zhao Kongchen. It wasn't that he was afraid of what Zhao Kongchen would say, but he felt that it was a little strange that he had rushed back from somewhere else.

Zhao Kongchen had no idea what he was thinking.

So, without any hesitation, he called out to Zhao Wu.

"Zhao Wu, you're back. How does it feel to be home?"

Zhao Wu quickly bowed and answered Zhao Kongchen's question: "It's alright, General."

"Yes, you are one of the top contributors in this military achievement. Don't be nervous when His Majesty rewards you; just treat it normally."

"Yes, General."

"By the way, there's a possibility of being granted a mansion as a reward. Is there any place you'd like to visit?"

Zhao Wu was bewildered by Zhao Kongchen's questions. Firstly, he thought it was just a reward, and a busy general wouldn't ask such detailed questions. Secondly, he genuinely didn't know he would be granted a mansion, and they were perfectly content with where they were living now. If the emperor granted a mansion, there would definitely be maids and servants, which would cost money. He wasn't sure if his meager salary would be enough. Besides, he had other uses for his own money, but…

He looked up at Zhao Kongchen and asked a question.

"General, if a mansion is bestowed as a reward, will there be maids and servants inside?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"No...nothing."

If only there weren't any, then we could sell the mansion for money.

Zhao Wu's thinking is too dangerous. A mansion bestowed by the emperor is not something that can be sold off so easily. If those civil officials find out, they'll skin him alive!

With his clumsy mouth, he won't even know how he died.

"Alright, go change your clothes now, we'll be heading into the city soon."

"Okay, General."

Zhao Wu had completely forgotten about the big piece of wood, and by the time he remembered, it was already dinner time.

An hour later, Zhao Kongchen had assembled the entire army. After saying a few words, he led his men toward the capital via the official road.

The task of welcoming the victorious army back was entrusted to the emperor's eldest son, the current crown prince, Junyu, who is now fourteen years old by the traditional Chinese age reckoning and thirteen by the Western age reckoning.

Although he is still quite young, he already has the basic ability to handle government affairs.

Moreover, to be on the safe side, the emperor also sent Prime Minister Lin Fang to accompany him.

At this moment, at the city gate, two neat rows of imperial guards dressed in golden armor stood in formation, and in the very center of the gate stood rows of well-dressed officials, waiting for the arrival of the army.

Inside the city, the bustling crowds on both sides of the streets resembled surging waves, stretching as far as the eye could see, all smiling and waiting for something.

clatter……

Da da……

Da da da……

The sound of horses' hooves rang out in the distance, and not far from the official road, a densely packed army of soldiers in armor appeared, marching in triumph.

The soldiers' helmets and armor gleamed, their steps were neat and powerful, and their footsteps shook the earth like thunder.

The banners fluttered wildly in the wind, their golden characters gleaming brightly in the sunlight.

The two characters "Da Qi" are written in a style reminiscent of dragons and phoenixes.

The warhorse beneath him neighed, carrying the majestic general. On the horse, the general stood tall and straight, his face, weathered by the flames of war, radiating determination and pride.
