Rebirth: Find a General as Your Backer

Chapter 104 The Secret Meeting with Eunuch Lu

Eunuch Lu did not go to rest, after all, he had not seen Chu Mohan for a long time, and to be honest, he had a lot to say. So, in Chu Mohan's study, Eunuch Lu was sitting opposite Chu Mohan, but they still had to avoid being seen by others.

A tranquil and solemn atmosphere permeated the study. The antique bookshelves were filled with books and scrolls, and on the desk sat an exquisite inkstone and several calligraphy brushes. Ling Lin stood guard outside the study to prevent any disturbance.

Eunuch Lu sighed softly and said with emotion, "Now His Highness Prince Rui has finally overcome his hardships, and your mother's spirit in heaven can surely rest in peace."

His voice carried a hint of emotion and relief. When Chu Mohan heard Eunuch Lu mention his mother, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes, and he fell silent.

Memories flooded his mind like a tide; he remembered his mother's gentle smile and loving eyes. He had once thought he would stay in this desert city forever, never to return to the capital.

At first, he was filled with helplessness and despair, and from then on, he had no intention of returning to the capital.

However, now that he has met Su Lianxue, that intelligent and brave woman, her appearance is like a ray of light in the darkness, illuminating his world and rekindling his fighting spirit.

Chu Mohan raised his head slightly, his eyes revealing determination and gratitude. He said softly, "I am also grateful for your help, Father-in-law."

The information he received from his father-in-law in the capital saved him from many underhanded attacks from the capital, and his father-in-law gave him a lot of support and encouragement.

Looking at the person before him, Eunuch Lu was filled with emotion. He still remembered that when Chu Mohan left the capital, he was still a small and thin man.

At that time, his eyes were filled with confusion and unease, like a little bird lost in a storm.

Now, as time has passed, Chu Mohan has grown into a tall, strong, and confident man, and has also acquired a wealth of skills. He must have suffered a lot along the way.

Grandpa Lu's thoughts drifted back to the past, recalling his relationship with Chu Mohan's mother. Back then, it was Chu Mohan's mother who had saved his life.

At that time, he was in dire straits, surrounded by enemies, when Chu Mohan's mother reached out a helping hand, giving him warmth and hope. From that moment on, he secretly vowed to repay this kindness.

Later, when Chu Mohan left the capital, Eunuch Lu secretly gave him some money. Although it wasn't much, it was a token of his goodwill. He hoped that Chu Mohan would have a better life in the distant border region and have enough resources to realize his ideals and ambitions.

Later, as Chu Mohan fought hard on the border, he used his wisdom and courage to defeat the enemy time and time again, protecting the safety of the Great Chu Kingdom.

His achievements gradually came to the attention of the emperor in the capital, who couldn't help but marvel at his son's prowess. Thus, by chance, he was brought together with Chu Mohan once again.

From then on, Eunuch Lu became one of Chu Mohan's trusted men in the capital. He kept a close eye on the situation in the capital and relayed important information to Chu Mohan. With Chu Mohan's gradual assistance, Eunuch Lu eventually rose to the position of Grand Steward.

He knew that his success was inseparable from Chu Mohan's support and trust.

Chu Mohan said softly, "My wedding will be held in the capital."

These few words caused Eunuch Lu's slightly tense nerves to relax instantly, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He had been worried that Chu Mohan, who had experienced so much, might not want to return to the capital, a complex place full of power struggles and intrigues.

The capital city is a place where prosperity and complexity intertwine, and glory and crisis coexist.

Eunuch Lu raised his head slightly, a hint of relief in his eyes. Then he fell into deep thought and said after a moment, "We need to think of a suitable excuse."

His voice was exceptionally clear in the quiet study. Eunuch Lu knew that although Chu Mohan was now the Prince Rui, he held considerable military power, and if he were to rashly return to the capital for his wedding, it would inevitably attract attention and speculation from all sides.

At the center of that power vortex, any action could be magnified infinitely, leading to a series of unpredictable consequences.

Therefore, a suitable reason must be found that allows Chu Mohan to return to the capital smoothly while also making it seem reasonable to everyone and avoiding unnecessary trouble.

Chu Mohan nodded slightly, understanding Eunuch Lu's concerns. He then informed Eunuch Lu of the matter of the Canglang Kingdom's submission. As he slowly recounted this thrilling journey, the atmosphere in the study seemed to tense up.

Eunuch Lu stared at him in disbelief, his eyes filled with surprise, admiration, and profound shock. He truly hadn't imagined that Chu Mohan possessed such astonishing abilities, enough to subjugate the Canglang Kingdom, which had always coveted the Great Chu.

The Canglang Kingdom, powerful and fierce, has been constantly harassing the borders of the Great Chu for many years, leaving the border people living under the shadow of war for a long time.

Eunuch Lu's thoughts drifted away, recalling the scene when Chu Mohan left the capital. At that time, Chu Mohan was just a young and somewhat naive boy. Although there was a determined light in his eyes, no one could predict what his future path would be like.

Now, as time goes by, Chu Mohan has grown into a towering hero. His name is known throughout the Great Chu, and his achievements are admired by all.

Eunuch Lu had been thinking about how to persuade Chu Mohan to return to the capital, and along the way he was also considering how to ensure that he would not be suspected after returning to the capital.

After all, Chu Mohan held military power, and by normal circumstances, he couldn't simply return to the capital. In that capital, rife with power struggles and complex interplay of various factions, a single misstep could lead to utter ruin.

Eunuch Lu knew that Chu Mohan's existence was both a threat and an opportunity for some. Those with ulterior motives might try every means to deal with Chu Mohan in order to weaken his power.

However, with the submission of the Canglang Kingdom, the situation is quite different. Not only is returning to the capital no longer a problem, but Chu Mohan can even stay in the capital for an extended period.

The submission of the Canglang Kingdom holds significant strategic importance for the Great Chu. As a key figure in this victory, it is only natural for Chu Mohan to return to the capital to report on the battle and accept rewards. Moreover, this event will further solidify Chu Mohan's position in the capital, deterring those who wish to harm him from making rash moves.
