Chapter 242 The Northern King You Are Talking About Is Lu Chen?

After Wu Yuan brought Wei Siyuan to Lu Chen's study, Wei Siyuan immediately knelt down and said to Lu Chen: "General Wei Siyuan, pay your respects to the prince. The prince is a thousand years old!"

Lu Chen immediately got up from his seat, then held Wei Siyuan's shoulders and said: "General Wei, please get up quickly, I have finally waited for you.

Wei Siyuan then stood up and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After Wei Siyuan got up, Lu Chen asked: "General Wei, do you know how many large warships are on Fengyun Island now?"

Hearing this question, Wei Siyuan was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "Your Majesty, the ships on Fengyun Island are all medium-sized ships, and there are relatively few large ships, so they are not warships."

After Wei Siyuan arrived in the North Kingdom, he saw the large merchant ships of the Dongfang family. In order to do business and conduct maritime trade, the Dongfang family built extremely large merchant ships.

Before Wei Siyuan saw the Dongfang Family's large merchant ship, he always thought that their Fengyun Island ship was the largest. However, as soon as he arrived in the North Country, he saw a large merchant ship that was one ship taller than them. This immediately made them feel that they were on The boats built on Fengyun Island are all fishing boats.

Now Wei Siyuan was embarrassed to tell Lu Chen that the ship they built was a warship. How could a warship look like a small fish boat in front of a merchant ship.

The understanding of this era is that the bigger the ship, the stronger the power it represents. If it is modern, it is normal for merchant ships to be larger than battleships. We are still in the era of measuring combat effectiveness by tonnage.

After hearing Wei Siyuan's words, Lu Chen thought for a while. It seemed that if he wanted to build a navy next, he would need to build ships, but they didn't have the technology to build large ships yet.

I will ask people from the Dongfang Family later. The merchant ships built by the Dongfang Family are so big, so they must have shipbuilding craftsmen and shipbuilding skills.

At this moment, Wei Siyuan asked: "Your Majesty, when my subordinates arrived in the North Kingdom, they heard that the master of Xuanyue Palace lives in the North Palace?"

Lu Chen was stunned for a moment when he heard Wei Siyuan ask this question. Does it have anything to do with Wei Siyuan having the palace master of Xuanyue Palace living in Beiwang Mansion? How could Wei Siyuan solve this problem?

Lu Chen asked curiously: "Why did you think of asking this question?"

Wei Siyuan asked directly: "I wonder if the prince knows that the owner of Xuanyue Palace is actually the princess of Chen Kingdom?"

If Wei Siyuan was based on his identity as a survivor of the Chen Kingdom, then he would naturally not tell Lu Chen about Chen Wanrong, but now that the Wei family has waited for the birth of the destined son, the Northern King will be their master from now on, so They no longer need to be loyal to the Chen royal family.

Wei Siyuan simply sold Chen Wanrong. After all, Chen Wanrong was the princess of the Chen Kingdom, and Lu Chen was the vassal king of Daxia. Chen Wanrong, a princess of the Chen Kingdom, came to live in Beiwang Mansion. It was obvious at a glance that she was the princess of the Kingdom of Chen. Evil intentions.

As Lu Chen's subordinate, Wei Siyuan naturally wanted to tell this matter, and also asked Lu Chen if he knew about these things.

Hearing Wei Siyuan's words, Lu Chen was stunned again.

How could Wei Siyuan, a person who stayed on Fengyun Island, know about this?

Nowadays, very few people know that Chen Wanrong is the princess of Chen Kingdom. Even the women in Lu Chen in the inner courtyard of Beiwang Palace do not know Chen Wanrong's true identity. Most of them think that Chen Wanrong is just the master of Xuanyue Palace.

After Lu Chen came to his senses, he asked curiously: "How did you know her identity?"

Wei Siyuan said: "To be honest with the prince, the relationship between the Wei family and the Chen royal family was relatively good back then, and they were reused by the Chen royal family. Later, after the Chen Kingdom was destroyed, the Wei family moved to Fengyun Island and waited for the prince's order. .

"In the beginning, the Wei family planned to help Chen Guo recover, and over the years, there have been letters between the subordinates and Princess Chen."

"But since we have received the order from the prince, we will naturally assist the prince in achieving hegemony from now on. The restoration of the Chen Kingdom has nothing to do with the Wei family."

Hearing this, Lu Chen smiled and then said, "So that's what happened."

Lu Chen thought to himself that he didn't expect that Chen Wanrong's person would now become his own. He didn't know what Chen Wanrong would think after knowing this.

At this time, Wei Siyuan continued: "Your Majesty, Princess Chen must have some agenda when she comes to the North Palace. You must be careful."

Hearing this, Lu Chen said calmly: "You don't have to worry about this. Soon, she will become my king's concubine and give birth to children for the Northern King."

"You old ministers of Chen State don't have to worry too much."

this……

Wei Siyuan was slightly startled.

To be honest, the conflict between Chen Wanrong and Lu Chen is really not what Wei Siyuan wants to see, because the Wei family had a very good relationship with the Chen royal family back then, and the Wei family is what it is today because of the Chen royal family. Support, if it weren't for the help of the Chen royal family, the Wei family might not be able to wait until the son of destiny appears.

It would be great if Princess Chen could be united with the Son of Destiny.

Wei Siyuan came to his senses and said, "I understand."

Lu Chen continued: "Also, you should go and tell her later about your Wei family's surrender to me. It's time for me to have a showdown with her."

Wei Siyuan said: "I understand."

What Lu Chen was thinking was that it had been delayed for so long. This was a good opportunity. The Wei family must be a very important force for Chen Wanrong. Now that the Wei family has joined the Northern Kingdom, this must be a good opportunity for Chen Wanrong. It was a huge blow, which would make Chen Wanrong lose sight of the hope of returning to the country.

In addition, Chen Wanrong already knew about his affair with Lin Wanyun, and it was not a day or two for her to spy on her and Lin Wanyun's affair. Chen Wanrong should have guessed that she and Lin Wanyun's secret was known to her.

When she finds out that Chen Wanrong's old ministers have come to seek refuge with her, then Chen Wanrong will definitely have a nervous breakdown, and she can't help but come directly to find her. He just needs to wait.

Wei Siyuan then reported to Lu Chen the situation on Fengyun Island. After the report was almost complete, Wei Siyuan went to Yunrong Courtyard under the leadership of the servants of the palace.

At this moment.

Lin Wanyun and Chen Wanrong were discussing the affairs of Chen Guo's old ministers in the pavilion.

Chen Wanrong said: "The Wei family should arrive in Yancheng in the next few days."

Lin Wanyun asked with concern: "Palace Master, are these Wei family members really reliable? After all, the Chen Kingdom has been gone for so many years, and people's hearts can change. What's more, they have 100,000 elite soldiers on Fengyun Island. They may have some troubles." What you should think about.”

Since ancient times, when the royal family is weak, generals with military power may have the idea of ​​becoming emperor. What's more, the Chen Kingdom has been destroyed long ago, and the Chen Kingdom's royal family only has one princess left, not even a prince. In a royal family that doesn't even have a prince, why should others help you restore the country? You might as well become the emperor yourself and forcefully marry the princess of the royal family. perform

Chen Wanrong said: "The Wei family has always been loyal to the royal family of the Chen Kingdom. Many members of the Wei family died in battle for the Chen Kingdom. It was also thanks to the Wei family that I was able to escape from the imperial capital of the Chen Kingdom. Now I am a member of Xuanyue Palace. Palace Master, with the power of Xuanyue Palace, they will not change their minds."

Chen Wanrong naturally understands why Lin Wanyun is worried. If she is just a princess who has no power to control the chicken, the Wei family is likely to wait for the restoration of the country under the banner of restoring the country, and then forcibly marry her, then steal the country, and finally become He became the emperor of the Wei family.

But she is not a powerless princess. She has the entire Xuanyue Palace behind her. It is impossible for the Wei family not to know what kind of power Xuanyue Palace is. With Xuanyue Palace as a super sect, Chen Wanrong does not believe that the Wei family dares to have such power. The thought of stealing the country.

After hearing Chen Wanrong's words, Lin Wanyun thought about it and felt that it made sense. After all, Chen Wanrong was the master of Xuanyue Palace, and Chen Wanrong himself was a master. The Wei family might still be loyal to the Chen family and to Chen Wanrong.

Just when Lin Wanyun was thinking this, a maid from the palace suddenly entered Yunrong Courtyard. Seeing the maid coming in, Lin Wanyun and Chen Wanrong were stunned at the same time and became alert instantly.

Normally, the maids of the palace would not enter the Yunrong Courtyard directly without their permission. The two of them have a special status. They are guests in the palace, so the maids always stand outside the Yunrong Courtyard. With.

At this time, the maid said: "Palace Master Chen, there is a guest named Wei who wants to see you."

Hearing this, Chen Wanrong frowned slightly.

A guest named Wei?

Then it’s just Wei Siyuan?

Why did Wei Siyuan come to the North Prince's Mansion to see him?

Chen Wanrong and Lin Wanyun turned their heads at the same time and looked at each other. Lin Wanyun asked: "Palace Master, you didn't ask him to come to Beiwang Mansion to find you, right?"

Chen Wanrong didn't say anything. This was the North Prince's Mansion. How could she let Wei Siyuan, an old minister of the Chen Kingdom, come to the North Prince's Mansion to look for her? If she asked him to come to the North Prince's Mansion to look for her, Lu Chen would have discovered it.

Lu Chen had already seen through their plan. If Lu Chen knew that Chen Guo still had 100,000 elite soldiers on Fengyun Island, who knows what would happen.

If something went wrong, there must be a monster. Chen Wanrong didn't believe that Wei Siyuan was a man of several decades. He had no brain at all. He came to Beiwang Mansion to look for her. Something must have happened.

Chen Wanrong then asked the maid, "Where is he now?"

The maid replied: "It's in the palace."

Chen Wanrong immediately said: "Bring him here."

"Yes, Palace Master Chen."

Then the maid turned and left. Not long after, a middle-aged man appeared at the door of Yunrongyuan.

Seeing Wei Siyuan's appearance, Chen Wanrong was stunned again. Although she had not seen Wei Siyuan for more than ten years, she could still recognize Wei Siyuan at a glance. The middle-aged man in front of her was indeed the one who protected her in the first place. Wei Siyuan escaped from the Imperial City of Chen State.

Wei Siyuan is almost the same as he was more than ten years ago. Except that his beard has grown thicker and he has become more mature, his whole person has not changed much.

After Wei Siyuan entered the courtyard, he recognized Chen Wanrong at a glance. Although Chen Wanrong had changed a lot from a little girl to an older girl, Chen Wanrong looked very much like the former Empress Chen, so she still looked very similar. Easy to recognize.

Wei Siyuan immediately walked outside the pavilion, half-knelt down and said: "Old minister Wei Siyuan, pay my respects to the princess! The princess is a thousand years old!"

Hearing this, Chen Wanrong and Lin Wanyun were startled.

This is how Wei Siyuan can perform such a courtesy in the Northern Palace. Although the name of the palace master and princess have the same pronunciation, if you add "千亿千亿千千岁" after it, others will be able to tell at once that you are calling "princess".

Chen Wanrong was a little puzzled. Why was Wei Siyuan not vigilant at all?

Chen Wanrong then said coldly: "Get up."

Wei Siyuan immediately got up from the ground and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, Princess."

Um?

Chen Wanrong raised her eyebrows again and just called her princess. She also added "Your Highness". Was she afraid that others wouldn't know that she was a princess?

Chen Wanrong said at this time: "I haven't seen you for more than ten years. Lord Wei has changed a lot."

Wei Siyuan said: "Compared with Her Royal Highness, my change is nothing."

Seeing Wei Siyuan calling Her Royal Highness Princess, Chen Wanrong couldn't stand it anymore, so she asked directly: "Why did Lord Wei come to the Northern Palace to find me? Did something happen?"

Hearing this question, Wei Siyuan said with a smile: "Your Royal Highness, I didn't come to see you on purpose, but I happened to come to the Northern Palace for something, so I came to see you by the way."

This...

Hearing Wei Siyuan's answer, Chen Wanrong and Lin Wanyun immediately had a bad premonition.

What did Wei Siyuan come to the Northern Palace for? What could he, a minister of the Chen Kingdom, do when he came to the Northern Palace?

Soon Chen Wanrong guessed what Wei Siyuan meant, and she said coldly: "You, betrayed the State of Chen?"

At this point, a chill was released from Chen Wanrong's body, and the whole courtyard became extremely cold, as if a layer of frost had formed inside and outside the pavilion.

Wei Siyuan still smiled and said: "What are you saying, Princess? The old ministers have never betrayed the State of Chen, because the old ministers and the Wei family were the people of the Northern King from the beginning."

This...

When Wei Siyuan said this, Chen Wanrong and Lin Wanyun were stunned.

Especially Chen Wanrong, she was extremely shocked.

The people of the Northern King?

The people of Lu Chen?

How old is Lu Chen this year?

How could Wei Siyuan be Lu Chen's people from the beginning?

Of course, Wei Siyuan knew that Chen Wanrong would definitely not understand why he said that. After all, Lu Chen was only 18 years old this year, and the Wei family had been in the State of Chen when the State of Chen was founded. The history of the Wei family in the State of Chen was almost a hundred years old.

Even if Chen Wanrong couldn't figure it out, Wei Siyuan couldn't tell Chen Wanrong some of the secrets casually. He came mainly to explain his position to Chen Wanrong. As for other things, he didn't need to tell Chen Wanrong.

After Wei Siyuan's voice fell, Yunrong Courtyard became extremely quiet in an instant, and the sound of fish turning over the water in the lotus pond became particularly loud.

Chen Wanrong never thought that Wei Siyuan would be Lu Chen's man.

After a while, Chen Wanrong confirmed: "The North King you are talking about is Lu Chen?"

What Chen Wanrong was thinking at this time was that maybe the North King Wei Siyuan was talking about was not Lu Chen, but someone else. The North King was just a title of a prince, and anyone could use this title. Maybe Daxia had a North King that they didn't know about before.

However, Wei Siyuan said at this time: "Yes."

Seeing Wei Siyuan admit it, Chen Wanrong's expression became even colder. She had always thought that after the loyal and good Chen Guo, she had been waiting for an important force to help her restore the country, but now she came to tell her that they were Lu Chen's people?

Are you kidding me?

After an unknown amount of time, Chen Wanrong finally spoke coldly, "The Wei family was almost exterminated for the sake of the Chen Kingdom. Now you tell me that you were originally the Northern King's people. When was the Northern King born?"

Wei Siyuan sensed Chen Wanrong's anger and felt the chill, but Wei Siyuan remained calm. He smiled and said, "Princess, the Wei family has indeed paid a lot for the Chen Kingdom, but that is just to repay the Chen Kingdom. There are some things that I cannot tell you too much, but I can tell you that the master of the Wei family has only been the Northern King from the beginning."

Chen Wanrong said, "So, when I came to the Northern Kingdom, your Wei family told the Northern King everything about me?"

Wei Siyuan said, "That's not the case. This is my first time to come to the Northern King's Mansion, and today is also my first time to meet the Northern King. However, from the conversation I just had with the Northern King, the Northern King did know your identity a long time ago."

"The reason why I came to see you now is also the Northern King's intention."

After the words fell, there was another long silence.

Chen Wanrong didn't think Wei Siyuan would treat her as a fool. After all, what Wei Siyuan said was a little too weird. Lu Chen hadn't been born yet, and their Wei family was Lu Chen's family. Such words could only fool fools.

But in Lu Chen's case, the more things that violate common sense, the more likely they are to be true.

Chen Wanrong and Lin Wanyun have been in the North Country for such a long time, and have long witnessed the various magical aspects of Lu Chen. They have also heard about the rumors in the palace that Lu Chen is a disciple of the immortal.

In addition, Chen Wanrong herself has a master with extraordinary strength. She has seen many strange things in the world, so Chen Wanrong quickly accepted Wei Siyuan's words in her heart.

If all that Wei Siyuan said is true, then it proves that someone has paved the way for Lu Chen before he was born.

In this way, all the things that happened after Lu Chen came to the North Country seem to be pushed by an invisible hand. Lu Chen is likely not an ordinary prince. Coupled with the rumors of the immortal disciple, this further proves that Lu Chen's identity is very special.

What kind of power is behind Lu Chen?

Chen Wanrong suddenly felt powerless, as if she had hit a thick wall.

Lin Wanyun, her closest person, was destroyed by Lu Chen, and now Wei Siyuan told her that the important force she was waiting for to restore the country was also Lu Chen's people.

Since she came to the North Country, she felt as if everything in the world revolved around this man, Lu Chen.

Seeing that Chen Wanrong didn't speak for a long time, Wei Siyuan continued: "Your Highness, there is no need for you and the King of the North to be on opposite sides. Although he is the child of Emperor Xia, he is not just the child of Emperor Xia. You have many common interests. And as far as I know, his mother is the goddess of Xuanyue Palace, and he is the son of Xuanyue Palace."

Hearing this, Chen Wanrong said coldly: "You don't have to be a lobbyist for him, you can leave."
