Chapter 196 After Tonight, There Will Be No More Beiwang Mansion

After the small court meeting, before Lu Chen left the political hall, a Jinyi Guardsman hurriedly came to Lu Chen and handed a piece of information to Lu Chen.

Lu Chen took the information from the Jin Yiwei soldiers, glanced at it, and frowned slightly.

A master-level expert like Su Teng was discovered by the Jin Yiwei when they entered Yancheng. Therefore, no matter where Su Teng and the others went, they would be stared at by the Jin Yiwei scattered around Yancheng. Their every move was closely watched. Under the surveillance of Jin Yiwei.

Su Teng's information had been placed in Lu Chen's study half a month ago. Jinyiwei had penetrated into all walks of life, and it was not difficult to find out what tasks Lingwu Pavilion had taken recently.

At this time, Lu Chen glanced at the information in his hand again, and then said to himself: "It seems that those guys can't wait any longer. In that case, let's deal with them first."

Having said this, Lu Chen turned to look at the Jin Yiwei who sent the information, and then said: "Call General Mu, General Wenren, and General Xuanyuan to my study, and tell General Xuanyuan to mobilize some black cavalry to attack Yancheng." Sealed."

After hearing this, the Jin Yiwei soldiers reminded: "Your Majesty, if you mobilize the black cavalry, I am afraid it will be exposed that the black cavalry in the North has not been destroyed. Recently, many spies from the enemy country have come to Yancheng."

Lu Chen said calmly: "We only need to mobilize a part of the black cavalry. I have never told the court that the entire black cavalry army has been wiped out."

When Lu Chen first wrote the battle report, he only said that more than 40,000 black cavalrymen in Beijun were killed in the battle, but did not say that the black cavalry army had been wiped out. This was just to be able to use the black cavalry at critical moments.

Of course, in the eyes of others, more than 40,000 black cavalrymen died, and only a few wounded soldiers were left. This is no different from the annihilation of the entire army.

The Jin Yiwei soldier said no more, "I understand."

"My subordinates resign."

Then the Jin Yiwei soldiers turned around and sent orders.

Just after the small court meeting, Mu Changtian, Xuanyuan Chen and other generals had not gone far in the first place. After hearing that Lu Chen had something to do with them, they immediately returned to the North Palace and came to Lu Chen's study.

After seeing Lu Chen again, Mu Changtian asked curiously: "My lord, what happened?"

Lu Chen said: "The assassins sent by the aristocratic families have come to Yancheng, and they plan to attack the North Prince's Mansion tonight."

Hearing this, Mu Changtian was startled, but he quickly realized that when Lu Chen legislated to take back the land ownership, he knew that such a day would come.

Those aristocratic families would never allow any sign of their land being taken back by the royal family in Daxia. They would only feel at ease if the Northern King died.

Mu Changtian asked: "Your Majesty, the Jin Yiwei should have determined the location of those assassins, right?"

Since Lu Chen mentioned that the assassins had arrived in Yancheng, it meant that the Jin Yiwei had discovered their location, otherwise Lu Chen would not have found all the generals.

Lu Chen nodded and said: "Their location has been determined. I originally planned to wait until they attack the North Prince's Mansion tonight before dealing with them."

"But then I thought about it. I have a wife and concubine who is pregnant, and there is also my child in the palace. When the noise in the North Palace is too big, it will scare them, so I decided to take action in advance and kill them. Get rid of them all.”

Mu Changtian said: "Your Majesty, where are those assassins now? We will lead our troops to deal with them now."

Lu Chen immediately called the Jin Yiwei who was responsible for monitoring the assassins, and then assigned characters to Mu Changtian and others.

There are currently three waves of assassins in Yancheng. In order to avoid alerting the enemy, Lu Chen thought of getting rid of them all at once.

At this time, Qin Yushan said: "Your Majesty, it is still daytime. If we take action during the day, I am afraid that some of the weapons of the Prince will not be able to be used, and will be easily seen by spies from other countries or ordinary people."

Qin Yushan knew that Lu Chen had grenades and powerful weapons such as Barrett. He would definitely use these things to deal with these assassins. Once these things were used in the city during the day, they would definitely be seen by the common people.

When the time comes, the secrets of the Northern Kingdom will be exposed.

Qin Yushan continued: "My subordinates suggest arranging soldiers to ambush them on the road they must pass, and then wait until night before taking action."

Lu Chen thought for a while, and the news he got was that the assassins would operate at night, and ambush them at night was indeed the best choice.

Lu Chen said: "Commander Qin is right to consider deploying soldiers first and wait until tonight. However, this will easily attract the attention of the assassins, so you need to be as careful as possible when mobilizing soldiers."

Mu Changtian said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will have soldiers disguised as caravans enter the city later. There are more caravans in Yancheng recently, and those assassins will most likely not notice anything strange."

"Even if they notice something strange, I'm afraid they think these soldiers disguised as caravans are here to assassinate you just like them."

Lu Chen thought for a moment and said, "Okay, you go and prepare."

Several people said in unison: "Yes, Your Majesty!"

After they left, Lu Chen immediately went to the courtyard where Chen Wanrong lived.

At this time, Lin Wanyun and Chen Wanrong were sitting in the pavilion drinking tea. The palace's dragon and phoenix tea tasted very good, and it was also refreshing. They had fallen in love with the taste of dragon and phoenix tea since they drank it.

The two of them were enjoying tea when they suddenly heard the maid's voice coming from the door of the courtyard, "Greetings to the prince!"

Hearing what the maid said, they thought they were hallucinating. Lu Chen had never been to this yard before.

At this moment, they saw a figure appearing at the entrance of the courtyard. When they saw that it was Lu Chen, they immediately got up from the stone bench.

They were very surprised. They did not expect that Lu Chen would come to their yard. What was Lu Chen planning to do?

Could it be that he encountered some trouble and wanted help from Xuanyue Palace?

Chen Wanrong took the initiative to salute and said, "I have met the prince."

Lu Chen smiled slightly and then said, "Miss Chen, you don't have to be polite."

Lin Wanyun asked at this time: "Chen'er, do you have anything to do with the palace master?"

Although Lin Wanyun had helped Chen Wanrong and Lu Chen get online for a long time, the two had not met and talked recently. Lu Chen had too many women, and Lu Chen seemed not to focus on Chen Wanrong at all.

Chen Wanrong had no experience in seducing men, and she didn't know how to seduce Lu Chen's heart, which kept them in a stalemate.

Lu Chen looked at Chen Wanrong and said with a smile: "Miss Chen, I want to trouble you with something. I don't know if it's okay."

Hearing this, Chen Wanrong and Lin Wanyun were startled.

They have been in the North Country for so long, and Lu Chen has never asked them for help. The last time Lu Chen asked Xuanyue Palace to send some disciples down the mountain to teach the people in the North Country how to read, it was Lin Wanyun who took the initiative to find Lu Chen. If she hadn't taken the initiative to find the way. Chen, Lu Chen might not ask them for help.

Unexpectedly, Lu Chen actually took the initiative to ask them for help today. This was a great thing for them. It meant that they could finally get closer to Lu Chen and let Lu Chen put down his guard.

Chen Wanrong said expressionlessly: "Your Majesty, please speak."

Lu Chen said: "A lot of assassins have come to Beijun recently. I would like to ask Miss Chen to protect Beiwang Mansion for me for a while."

After hearing this, Chen Wanrong said without hesitation: "Okay."

Chen Wanrong agreed so simply that Lu Chen didn't know what to say next.

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Then I'll trouble Miss Chen."

"I have something else to do, so I won't disturb you anymore."

Having said this, Lu Chen turned around and left. Chen Wanrong still said expressionlessly: "Farewell to the prince."

After hearing the conversation between the two, Lin Wanyun on the side was stunned.

this……

It's so simple and straightforward, with no other language at all, how can we cultivate feelings?

However, this cannot be blamed on Chen Wanrong. Chen Wanrong has never had much contact with men, and she has no experience in this area. She has always spoken like this, and she treats everyone like this. She has already formed a habit.

After Lu Chen left the yard, Lin Wanyun quickly followed. Lu Chen was just about to go to Bai Qingqing to arrange the guard work tonight, when Lin Wanyun's voice came from behind.

"Chen...Chen'er, wait a moment."

Hearing Lin Wanyun's voice, Lu Chen immediately turned around and looked at Lin Wanyun. Lu Chen asked doubtfully: "Aunt Lin, is there anything else?"

Lin Wanyun said: "It's nothing serious, I just want to remind you that you should have said a few more words to the palace master just now. Finally, you have the opportunity to communicate face to face."

Lu Chen showed a regretful expression and said, "Well, I actually want to talk to Miss Chen more, but as you can see, Miss Chen and I are both the kind of people who speak more directly."

"And as soon as I get in front of her, I will be very nervous and don't know what to say."

After hearing Lu Chen's answer, Lin Wanyun thought for a while. This was indeed a big problem. It seemed that she would have to have a good chat with the palace master after returning home later, so that she should not be so concise when talking to Lu Chen in the future.

Although she has never developed a relationship with a man, she also knows that in order to develop a relationship between men and women, there should be more communication.

Such a brief exchange obviously cannot cultivate feelings. If Chen Wanrong had always been like this, it would be difficult for her to fall in love with Lu Chen.

Thinking of this, Lin Wanyun said: "Okay, I will try my best to create opportunities for you in the future to give you more face-to-face communication time."

"You two have nothing to talk about now, maybe because you are not familiar with each other yet. After both parties get familiar with each other, maybe it will be better."

Lu Chen said: "That's what Aunt Lin said."

"Aunt Lin, I have other things to do now, so I'll leave first."

Lin Wanyun said: "Okay, just go ahead and get busy, I won't waste your time."

Then Lu Chen turned and left.

After watching her leave, Lin Wanyun turned around and returned to the yard to do ideological work for Chen Wanrong.

"Palace Master, this is not okay. It took a lot of effort for King Bei to come to you, but you two just exchanged a few words. If this continues, King Bei will definitely think that you have no idea about him, and he might give up by then."

Hearing Lin Wanyun's words, Chen Wanrong still had no expression on her face, "Aunt Lin, I don't know how to communicate with him."

From the day Chen Wanrong left Chen Guo, she became taciturn, and the expression on her face did not change much. The expression on her face seemed to be indifferent to everything in the world.

Hearing Chen Wanrong's answer, Lin Wanyun was stunned for a moment.

This is true...

Chen Wanrong had no experience in this area, and she had relatively few interactions with men. Even if she did, it was when she was in Xuanyue Palace instructing the male disciples of Xuanyue Palace to do something.

She has a very high status in Xuanyue Palace. She speaks to the male disciples of Xuanyue Palace in an imperative tone, and there are not many words in a sentence. It is really difficult for her to talk to a man as an equal.

But if she doesn't do this, it will be difficult for Lu Chen to fall in love with her completely. Even her condescending attitude may make the King of the North feel repulsive to her. After all, the King of the North is a person with a certain status. How can he have a good impression of you if you communicate with him in such a high attitude?

Lin Wanyun thought to herself, it seems that she has to find a way to train Chen Wanrong.

The main reason why Chen Wanrong has been like this is that she has too little contact with men. In this case, let Chen Wanrong contact more men and don't stay in the yard all day.

Of course, Chen Wanrong is the master of Xuanyue Palace, and it is impossible for her to contact any man.

The best training object is Lu Chen. Anyway, their purpose is to make Lu Chen fall in love with her. In the future, they will find more excuses to let Chen Wanrong and Lu Chen be alone.

In this way, not only will Chen Wanrong be exposed to men, but Lu Chen may also fall in love with Chen Wanrong.

Thinking of this, Lin Wanyun began to plan to create an opportunity for the two of them to be alone together.

After Lu Chen left the courtyard where Chen Wanrong lived, he found Bai Qingqing and arranged for Bai Qingqing to guard the Beiwang Mansion tonight.

Although they planned to take the initiative, there would inevitably be some fish that slipped through the net. It is better to be safe than sorry, so the protection of the Beiwang Mansion must be done well, and those assassins must not be allowed to take advantage of the loopholes.

In the evening.

The setting sun.

In the restaurant.

Su Teng was still sitting in front of the window, drinking wine and looking in the direction of the Beiwang Mansion.

He smiled and said to the man in the hat in front of him: "It seems that there are many people who want to assassinate the Beiwang."

Su Teng is at least a master of the extreme realm. He can tell at a glance that those ordinary people disguised as caravans on the street are warriors.

He did not think that those people were coming for them. In his opinion, these people were most likely from the same industry and also wanted to assassinate the Northern King.

The Northern King had offended the aristocratic families and scholar-officials of the entire Great Xia this time. Naturally, there were many people who wanted to kill him. Su Teng alone knew of three forces that had the same purpose as them.

The man in the bamboo hat said calmly: "Of course, why don't we take action tonight and let those people go to test the waters. The Blood Moon Tower has been defeated by the Northern Palace many times, proving that the Northern Palace still has some strength."

Su Teng picked up the wine glass in front of him, drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and then said: "No need to be so troublesome, since everyone has the same goal, let's just go together."

"Looking at the hurried look of those people, they are likely to act tonight."

"If several forces act together, the Northern Palace will have no way to resist. When the army outside Yancheng comes in, everything will be over."

The man in the bamboo hat said at this time: "The Pavilion Master is right."

After the voice fell, the man in the bamboo hat looked up at the sun gradually setting outside the window, and continued: "After tonight, there will be no Northern Palace."

Su Teng smiled, picked up the knife on the table, and stood up directly, "The sun is setting, and we should also prepare."
