Chapter 637: Chapter 637: The Grand Wedding (4)_1

"Prince, Prince Ling is way too arrogant." Upon arriving at the inn, Prince Chu and Prince Rui discovered how desolate the surroundings were. The interior was thoroughly cleaned, but it was only guarded by a few old, weak and disabled soldiers. If they were to be relied upon for security, then there wouldn’t even be a gate to speak of.

No firewall, there was a heated bed which could keep them warm, but they would have to buy their own firewood with Silver if they wanted to be warm.

The kitchen was available, but there were no cooks. If they wanted food, either their own men would prepare it, or they could hire cooks with Silver.

In short, all things started from scratch. Both Prince Chu and Prince Rui have brought quite a few men with them. The security issue could be handled easily, but how about food preparation?

"Hehe, this is interesting." Prince Chu said with a smiling face, "All of you be quiet. I don’t want to hear any unpleasant comments. Immediately find Blackie and get him to bring a few cooks to me."

"Yes, Prince." The close guard having received his orders left, all the while fuming inside. Damn it, Chu Suifeng was too audacious. Was he not afraid of offending Prince Chu?

Chu Suiyun stll had his people to help while in the Northern Land. Compared to him, Prince Rui seemed to be in a more disgraceful situation. Fortunately, amongst those who came with them, there were cooks, so the food problem wasn’t significant.

"Prince, what is Prince Ling trying to imply?" The accompanying guard complained indignantly, "He obviously has no respect for the Prince."

"I don’t want to hear that again." Prince Rui reacted just like Prince Chu, "Everyone, keep your mouth shut. All you have to do while we’re in the Northern Land is behave."

"Yes." The guard responded. After Prince Rui went inside, he arranged for people to buy groceries, a few more blankets, and supplies like firewood and charcoal.

"Prince, impressive." Inside the Prince Ling’s Residence, there were laughter and cheers. With the firewall inside the house, it was warm and cozy.

"Prince, should I send out some men to monitor them?" A lieutenant asked as he stepped forward.

"Prince, it would be best if a team of guards is assigned to watch over the gate of the inn."

...

"No need to bother about them." Chu Suifeng said indifferently, "I’m not afraid of their interference, I’m afraid if they don’t interfere."

Everyone present nodded their heads. They had come today to intimidate Prince Chu and Prince Rui, and also to see what these two masters really looked like.

"Strengthen the guard over the next few days." Chu Suifeng ordered.

"The road has also been properly arranged." Situ Gong said.

Si Jinhan lazily watched, but where had his thoughts wandered off to?

Three days later, a second group arrived in Capital City. However, their identities seemed a bit awkward.

"Minister Lin." Situ Gong welcomed the newcomers at the inn.

"Mr. Situ." The person who arrived was the Minister of Rites, Lin Haisheng, sent by the Emperor to observe the ceremony.

"Minister Lin, your courtyard is located between the two princes, let’s see if you find it satisfactory." Situ Gong entertained him with a beaming smile, courteously leading the way in front.

"Very good." Lin Haisheng had only seen the good exterior of the courtyard. Upon hearing Situ Gong’s question, he casually answered.

Situ Gong was waiting for his response, "I’m glad Minister Lin is satisfied. As a humble servant, I have to return to attend to the prince’s wedding preparations."

"Mr. Situ please, as you wish." Lin Haisheng was still unaware that he has been set up, and kept trying to curry favor in front of this first strategist of the Northern Land.

Only after Situ Gong had truly left, did he realize his predicament.

"Minister Lin, each courtyard has its own kitchen. However, you’ll need to prepare your own cooks, firewood, and ingredients. Or, Minister Lin, would you like to join me? I happened to hire a few good cooks." Prince Chu was the first one to extend the invite, he chuckled as he offered the invitation.
