Chapter 1285 General Wen's Exclusion

“Today, all of you will enter the Prince’s Estate and rest well. By tomorrow, you must not hold us back!” the Northern American Princess declared. “Only then can we crush their arrogant spirit and win the polo match!”

“Enter the Prince’s Estate?” Ling’er murmured beside them, surprised. This was a golden opportunity. If they could meet the Ninth Prince within the estate, their wish would be granted, regardless of whether they won the polo match.

Following the main group, they soon arrived at the Prince’s Estate. The entire estate was vast, accommodating many people. Within its walls, they could move freely, except for the area where the Ninth Prince resided.

“Should we make our move?” Liu Ruyan asked. “This is a rare chance. If we can meet the Ninth Prince, we can explain everything.”

“Let’s not be too rash. We’ll meet the Ninth Prince after winning the polo match and taking first place!”

Lu Fan stated directly, “Being too hasty won’t end well!”

Liu Ruyan nodded slightly, understanding the situation. Forcing a meeting with the Ninth Prince might not result in him listening patiently, and could instead alert their opponents.

“Why are you all in the Prince’s Estate?”

Just then, General Wen’s voice rang out. He looked towards Liu Ruyan, his eyes carrying a cold glint. He had colluded with Steward Zhao and hadn’t expected Liu Ruyan to be here.

“It’s General Wen!” Liu Ruyan narrowed her eyes. “We are players from Northern America Architecture. Is it not permissible to rest within the Prince’s Estate?”

“Your identities are suspicious, and you likely have ulterior motives!” General Wen said coldly. “Leave this place quickly, or don’t blame me for taking action!”

“Look at what you’re saying. Our presence here is legitimate and reasonable, and the Princess herself invited us. Is there a problem with that?”

Liu Ruyan’s eyes showed displeasure as she spoke coldly, exuding an imposing aura.

“I am the Captain of the Prince’s Estate Guards, and I naturally have the authority to manage your affairs. Leave the Prince’s Estate now, or I will not be polite!” General Wen was aggressive, carrying a chilling intent.

Meanwhile, Liu Ruyan was resolute, not taking his words to heart. With the Northern American Princess as her shield, she had no reason to fear him.

“What, does my word not carry weight?” General Wen said coldly. “Don’t think you can act recklessly just because the Princess protects you!”

“General Wen, what is the meaning of this?”

The Northern American Princess walked over, looking at General Wen with displeasure. She hadn’t expected General Wen to act this way, catching her off guard.

“Your Highness, their origins are unknown, and they cannot simply enter the Prince’s Estate!” General Wen stated. “That is why I am driving them out!”

“Nonsense, they were invited by me. How do you know their origins are unknown?” the Northern American Princess retorted angrily. “Your tone is quite bold. Are you questioning me?”

General Wen was taken aback, his expression fluctuating slightly. He hadn’t expected the Northern American Princess to say this, catching him off guard. Under normal circumstances, it shouldn’t have been like this.

“That’s right, we were all invited by the Princess. If you think I have a problem, do you also think the Princess has a problem?” Liu Ruyan questioned, seemingly fanning the flames.

General Wen’s face changed. He was at a loss for words, and with Liu Ruyan’s interference, his expression grew increasingly displeased.

“That’s right,” the Northern American Princess stated directly. “Everything is as I say. General Wen, if you dare to lay a hand on my people again, you can get out of the Prince’s Estate.”

“Your subordinate obeys!”

General Wen quickly cupped his fists, filled with helplessness. Since the Northern American Princess had spoken, any further words from him would likely lead to trouble. It was better to lie low.

“I thought you were quite capable! Aren’t you just another bully who relies on power!” Lu Fan said coldly. “You must have received many good things from the Northwest County Prefecture, otherwise, why would you so diligently serve them!”

“Insolent brat who doesn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth! After the polo match ends, I will make you pay!” General Wen said coldly, a murderous intent in his gaze.

It was because of Lu Fan’s arrival that he had been reprimanded, and his heart was filled with resentment.

At the same time, General Wen looked at Liu Ruyan. “I know what you are thinking, and I know your intentions. However, you should be well aware that some things are not that simple. To deal with the Northwest County Prefecture, you are likely dreaming. Even the Ninth Prince would not easily intervene!”

“Whether the Prince intervenes is not for you to worry about!” Liu Ruyan said coldly. “Besides, whether the Prince intervenes or not is his business. What does it have to do with you? Why are you boasting here and trying to drive us out of the Prince’s Estate?”

General Wen was instantly speechless and said no more. With the protection of the Northern American Princess, it was naturally unlikely they could be driven out of the Prince’s Estate.

After General Wen left, Ling’er frowned. “At this point, even if we inform the Prince, it might not be enough to deal with the Northwest Princess!”

“Indeed, the Northwest Princess is no ordinary person. In that case, the Ninth Prince might not intervene!” Zhao Xue said solemnly.

“You underestimate the Prince’s Estate!” Liu Ruyan shook her head. “Everything the Northwest Princess is doing is extremely detrimental to the entire Heavenly Dynasty. As a member of the Dynasty, how could the Prince stand idly by!”

Following these words, everyone nodded slightly, finding them quite reasonable.

“Man proposes, God disposes. As long as we persevere, there will be a time for us,” Lu Fan said with a smile, his expression becoming more serious. It seemed that in his eyes, all of this was very real.

“Exactly, man proposes, God disposes!”

Everyone nodded, their eyes becoming more earnest.

The next morning, the entire Prince’s City was abuzz with noise. Today was the opening day of the polo match, and many people had arrived. The passion for polo had been hyped to its peak throughout the city.

“Today, you must perform well and not let me lose!” the Northern American Princess looked at Lu Fan and the others, her expression grave. She had made a bet with someone, and if she lost, she would be in trouble.

After all, such matters were not only embarrassing but also consumed resources, and were not easily dismissed.

More importantly, her opponent in the bet was her arch-nemesis. If she lost the bet, it would be a great humiliation for a Princess.
