Chapter 277 Wu Yunwan's Diplomatic Mission to the Northern Kingdom
Wu Yunwan had become interested in Lu Chen a long time ago. After a teenage boy brought dozens of people to the Northern Kingdom, he gave the poor Northern Kingdom the strength to defeat the barbarian army of 300,000 in a short period of time. What's more, the palace owner of Xuanyue Palace was unwilling to leave after living in Beiwang Palace.
All this made Wu Yunwan curious. She was curious about what special thing Lu Chen had, or what kind of value Lu Chen had, so that he could bring the superpowers who supported Lu Chen, Xuanyue Palace, and even Huanyu Academy They were all attracted to the Northern Kingdom.
In the past, she had only heard about what kind of person Bei Wang was, but she had never seen him in person. Wu Yunwan knew very well that a lot of the information that came to her was hearsay and rumors. , but her people don’t know what the actual situation is.
If you want to know what kind of person the real King Bei is, you still have to meet him in person. Now is your chance.
When Wu Yunwan's motorcade arrived at the gate of the southern city of Beiguo, Lu Chen rode a horse and came to the gate in person to greet them.
Wu Yunwan is the eldest princess of the dynasty, and Lu Chen is just the vassal king of a dynasty. It is normal for him to go out of the city to greet her in person. However, this makes Wu Yunwan feel that something is wrong. Is the standard of reception in the North Kingdom too high?
It was enough for King Bei to go out of the city to greet him in person. Both sides of the road were crowded with people from the whole city. This kind of reception was a bit too much.
When the motorcade stopped, Wu Yunwan directly opened the carriage curtain, and what came into view was a handsome face. Although the skin still looked a bit immature, Bei Wang already had the temperament of a mature man, especially King Bei's eyes were piercing and extremely deep.
After just one glance, Wu Yunwan's eyes were attracted by his appearance.
Wu Yunwan couldn't help but sigh in her heart, the information was indeed correct, King Bei was indeed a rare handsome man in the world.
Just when Wu Yunwan was lost in thought, Wu Yunwan suddenly noticed something was wrong. She came back to her senses instantly. Although Lu Chen was deliberately hiding the power of the warrior in his body, Wu Yunwan still felt it.
The two were now more than ten meters apart, but she still felt oppressed. Lu Chen seemed to have reached the realm of a grand master.
this……
How can this be……
King Bei is only seventeen or eighteen years old, and he is already a great master?
Is there something wrong with my perception?
Wu Yunwan even began to suspect that she was hallucinating. After all, she was already a very talented warrior, but it took her more than twenty years to break through to the master realm, and King Bei was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and he had already He is a great master.
This is really an exaggeration!
At this time, Pei Hong, who was beside the carriage, also reminded him in a low voice: "Your Highness, King Bei is very powerful and is a great master!"
After hearing Pei Hong's words, Wu Yunwan confirmed that there was nothing wrong with her perception. The young man not far away was indeed the Grand Master.
Is he really the King of the North?
Could it be that King Bei randomly sent someone to greet them?
After all, she has never seen what the real King Bei looks like.
At this time, Lu Chen said with a smile: "Welcome Princess Wu to visit the Northern Kingdom. I have been waiting for you for a long time!"
Wu Yunwan frowned slightly after hearing Lu Chen's words.
This king?
So, this young man is indeed King Bei himself?
Bei Wang's martial arts talent is so terrifying!
According to Bei Wang's growth rate, I am afraid that Bei Wang will be able to break through to the Heavenly Realm before he is fifty or even thirty years old!
Thirty-year-old heaven and human realm! Wu Yunwan couldn't even think about it!
Among the people she knew, even a martial arts genius like Queen Dayue could not keep up with King Bei!
She used to believe that Queen Dayue was the most talented person in the world in martial arts. There could be no one in this world who was more talented than Queen Dayue.
I didn’t expect that a monster like King Bei existed!
It seems that the rumors about the lecherous King Bei are all false. To be able to break through to the Grand Master realm at this age, even if one has talent, he must have put in more effort than the average person.
This is the case with Queen Dayue. In order to compete for that position decades ago, Queen Dayue closed all her emotions and desires and put all her thoughts on martial arts training, and finally achieved the strength she has today.
Others may not know how terrifying Queen Dayue's strength is, but Wu Yunwan knows it in her heart.
Of course, even a proud woman like Queen Dayue was completely incomparable to Lu Chen in the eyes of Wu Yunwan at this time.
Wu Yunwan instantly listed Lu Chen as the number one enemy of the Dawu Dynasty.
Compared with the Daxia Dynasty and the Daqian Dynasty, Lu Chen was Dawu's real enemy.
King Bei grew up too fast, and he was young enough and very ambitious.
King Bei’s hiding place is really deep!
After the Northern Kingdom defeated the 300,000-strong army of the Sirius King, some people said that the Northern King also knew martial arts, but no one had ever said how powerful the Northern King was.
In people's eyes, the success of King Bei depends on the heavy cavalry behind him, or the forces behind King Bei. Without the forces behind him to support him, he would not have achieved what he has today.
Now it seems that people may have thought wrongly. King Bei may have relied on the power behind him, but King Bei himself is definitely not simple.
Wu Yunwan thought to herself, no wonder the super power behind King Bei wanted to support King Bei. The owner of Xuanyue Palace also came to the North Kingdom and refused to leave for a long time. Even Zhuge Chongguang came to the North Kingdom.
The strength of the Northern King can be improved so quickly, on the one hand, it must be because he has a very high talent for martial arts, and on the other hand, it is probably because the Northern King has a secret.
Moreover, Zhuge Chongguang has not broken through the Heavenly Man Realm for so many years. He has been in the Northern Kingdom for less than a year and has broken through to the Heavenly Man Realm. It is hard not to suspect that this is related to the Northern King.
Wu Yunwan is getting more and more curious about the little man not far away. She really wants to know what kind of secrets the little man has.
At this time, Wu Yunwan said with a smile: "It is rumored that the Northern King is handsome and extraordinary. Seeing him today, it is indeed true!"
Hearing Wu Yunwan's praise, Lu Chen smiled and said: "Thank you for the compliment from the Princess."
"It is an honor for the Princess and the delegation to come to the Northern Kingdom. The King has prepared lunch. If there is anything, let's eat and talk."
Here, Lu Chen turned around on his horse and said, "Go back to the city!"
As soon as the voice fell, the reception team entered the city, and Wu Yunwan and their motorcade followed the reception team and continued to move forward.
At this time, Pei Hong looked at the back of the King of the North, and always felt that the King of the North's back was somewhat familiar, especially the King of the North's voice. He always felt that he had heard the King of the North's voice somewhere.
Pei Hong thought to himself that this was his second time in the North Country, and he had never seen the King of the North before, so why did he feel that the King of the North's voice was familiar?
Just as Pei Hong was thinking about where he had heard this voice, Wu Yunwan's voice came from the carriage, "Does Pei Gong feel that the King of the North's voice is somewhat familiar?"
Not only Pei Hong, but even Wu Yunwan had the same feeling. Wu Yunwan was engaged in intelligence, so she was a person who paid more attention to details, and some small details could be remembered for a long time.
She always felt that the King of the North's voice was very familiar, and she vaguely felt that the King of the North was very similar to someone she had met before.
After Pei Hong found that Wu Yunwan and he had the same feeling, his brows were furrowed, and he suddenly felt that this might not be their illusion.
If a person feels that the voice of the King of the North is familiar, it can be said that it is his illusion, but now both of them feel that the voice of the King of the North is familiar, which is likely to mean that they have really heard Lu Chen's voice somewhere.
Pei Hong's brain quickly filtered the people they met last time they came to Yancheng. Since they felt familiar, and the King of the North was in the North Country, if they were to say where they had heard the voice of the King of the North, it was probably when they came to Yancheng last time.
After just thinking for a moment, Pei Hong instantly remembered where they had heard the same voice of the King of the North.
At this time, Pei Hong's face became a little ugly, and he then said to Wu Yunwan in the carriage: "Your Highness, I'm afraid that the King of the North is the owner of Tingyu Tower!"
Although they did not see the appearance of the owner of Tingyu Tower when they came to Yancheng last time, and the owner of Tingyu Tower was wearing a mask at that time, they also guessed from the voice and body shape of the owner of Tingyu Tower that the owner of Tingyu Tower was a very young person. At that time, they also thought that the owner of Tingyu Tower was the person of the mysterious force behind the King of the North.
Now it seems that the Tingyu Tower is the power of the person behind the King of the North, and it is clearly the power of the King of the North himself.
They were all deceived by the King of the North!
After hearing Pei Hong's hint, Wu Junwan also thought of the scene when she met the owner of Tingyu Tower in Yancheng last time.
After Wu Junwan's recollection, she also found that the voices of the King of the North and the owner of Tingyu Tower were exactly the same, and the figures of the two were basically the same.
The key is that the owner of Tingyu Tower and the King of the North are also very young!
Wu Junwan's face suddenly became serious, and she murmured: "It seems that we were recognized by the King of the North when we came to Yancheng last time."
If you think about it this way, the King of the North probably knew that Qianhai Chamber of Commerce was her power a long time ago. The King of the North asked Tingyu Tower to cooperate with Qianhai Chamber of Commerce in order to inquire about Da Wu's information in turn.
Thinking of this, Wu Junwan felt very uncomfortable. She didn't expect that she was actually set up by someone.
Compared to Wu Yunwan, there was another person who was feeling uncomfortable at this time, and the resentment in that person was even greater. That person was Wu Ming, the second prince of Dawu.
Wu Ming's carriage was right behind Wu Yunwan. At this moment, Wu Ming, who was sitting in the carriage, had a distorted expression on his face, clenched his fists, and the anger in his heart could not be calmed down.
As the second prince of Dawu, he went on a diplomatic mission to the North together with the eldest princess Wu Yunwan. As a result, when they arrived in the North, the vassal king of the North only said that they welcomed the eldest princess Wu Yunwan and completely forgot his existence.
Before they went on a diplomatic mission to the North, Dawu informed the North, and the North could not have been unaware that he, the second prince, was also on a diplomatic mission to the North with Wu Yunwan.
But the King of the North did not mention his name just now. The King of the North did not take him seriously at all. It seemed that in front of Wu Yunwan, or as long as he and Wu Yunwan were put together, he, the second prince, was dispensable.
Wu Ming also saw that the high-level reception of the Northern Kingdom was entirely for the reception of the eldest princess Wu Yunwan, and it had nothing to do with him, the second prince.
Wu Yunwan was obviously a woman, how could she have such a high-level reception!
He was obviously the prince, he was the one who was qualified to inherit the throne, but he was ignored!
Wu Yunwan was just a woman, how could she steal the limelight from him, the prince! It was fine to steal the credit when suppressing the rebellion, but she came to steal the credit again during this mission to the Northern Kingdom.
At first, his father only planned to let him go to the Northern Kingdom on behalf of Dawu. When he heard about this, he was very excited. In his opinion, his father wanted to train him to be his successor, so he thought Let him accumulate more achievements.
In the end, they didn't expect that Wu Yunwan would come out halfway. This was that bitch Chai Jiliang. If Chai Jiliang hadn't persuaded his father, how could his father let Wu Yunwan go on a mission to the North with him.
The more Wu Ming thought about it, the angrier he became. Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore and cursed directly: "This couple is a bitch!"
As soon as Wu Ming finished speaking, the old man sitting in the carriage reminded him: "Your Highness, be careful what you say."
After hearing this, Wu Ming calmed down a little.
Soon.
Lu Chen and the others arrived at the Council Hall, and everyone from the Dawu Envoy also took their seats.
After taking his seat, Lu Chen asked the dancer and piano player to perform.
However, the people of the Great Military Envoy did not pay attention to the performance. Their eyes kept scanning around the government hall, as if they were looking for something.
Their little movements were all seen by Lu Chen, who also knew what they were looking for. Obviously, they wanted to see if Zhuge Chongguang attended today's luncheon, so as to determine whether Zhuge Chongguang's realm had broken through to heaven. territory.
Lu Chen did not give them this opportunity. Zhuge Chongguang did not attend this luncheon.
At this time, Lu Chen also noticed the fair-skinned man sitting next to Wu Yunwan. The man was wearing a white gold silk brocade dress. He had a very noble temperament and looked like a young man.
Lu Chen naturally knew who this person was, but he still pretended not to know anything and asked, "Eldest Princess, who is this young master sitting next to you?"
Hearing this question, Wu Yunwan was slightly stunned. After she came to her senses, she replied with a smile: "I forgot to introduce to King Bei. This is the second prince of Dawu, named Wu Ming."
Hearing this, Lu Chen said with a smile: "It turns out to be His Highness Wu Ming, whose name I have admired for a long time!"
Hearing the conversation between the two, Wu Ming suddenly felt a fire in his heart. King Bei couldn't tell that he was Da Wu's second prince, and he actually needed the introduction of Wu Yunwan! If Wu Yunwan didn't introduce him, would it mean that in the end the King of the North didn't even know that he was on a mission to the North?
No, this mission to the Northern Kingdom was an opportunity for him to accumulate merit, and he absolutely could not let the woman next to him take all the credit.
He must take the initiative. Although he will always feel an inexplicable sense of oppression in front of a woman like Wu Yunwan, for the sake of his position as the prince, he cannot be suppressed by a woman like Wu Yunwan.
Thinking of this, Wu Ming said with a smile: "King Bei is joking. I am not very popular in Dawu. How could King Bei have heard of me? But King Bei's name has long been resounding throughout Dawu. Now almost every household in Dawu Everyone knows that there is a great hero in Daxia who has resisted the barbarians’ march south many times!”
Lu Chen smiled, and then said: "I am a great hero. I am just trying to protect my three-quarters of an acre of land."
Wu Yunwan was about to say something when Wu Ming suddenly said: "I heard that Senior Zhuge is now holding an important position in the Northern Kingdom, but why don't you see Senior Zhuge today?"
Lu Chen replied calmly: "You should also know that he just broke through not long ago and his realm has not yet been stabilized, so he has been practicing in seclusion recently."
Wu Ming said: "Speaking of Senior Zhuge, I suddenly remembered that I have not yet congratulated King Bei for recruiting a powerful person like Senior Zhuge in the Heavenly Realm."
Hearing this, Lu Chen smiled and did not continue the topic.
Regarding Zhuge Chongguang's affairs, he did not intend to mention more. He wanted to keep Zhuge Chongguang's mystery and let them guess whether Zhuge Chongguang had broken through to the realm of heaven and man.
At this time, Wu Yunwan also noticed that Wu Ming seemed to be anxious to let Lu Chen remember him, trying to seize more opportunities to speak. She smiled slightly, and then said: "King Bei, you should have received the message from me. Is there a letter?"
Before the official mission to the Northern Kingdom, Dawu's credentials were issued, as well as a letter from Wu Junwan. Of course, the content of the letter was mainly about some of the topics that Dawu wanted to discuss during his mission to the Northern Kingdom.
As for why Wu Yunwan wrote to Lu Chen in advance, the purpose was obvious.
Lu Chen replied at this time: "This is natural."
Wu Ming was stunned when he heard the conversation between the two.
letter?
What letter?
Wu Yunwan, a despicable woman, actually wrote a letter to King Bei in advance!
He knows nothing!
I don’t know what’s in the letter either.
How could he interrupt?
Wu Yunwan continued: "Now that the Northern Kingdom has a strong man in the Heavenly Realm, the military strength of the Northern Kingdom has also surpassed that of the Great Xia court. I wonder if the Northern King has ever thought about the location of the Great Xia capital? What if the Northern King wants that location? , Dawu is willing to do his best to help King Bei!"
Seeing that Wu Yunwan said this so directly, Lu Chen said: "I thought the eldest princess would be a little more tactful, but I didn't expect the eldest princess to say it so directly."
Wu Yunwan said: "The rise of the Northern Kingdom is visible to everyone, and it is only a matter of time before the Northern King ascends to the supreme position. Therefore, I believe that there is no need to hide some things, and it is better to speak directly."
"When the Northern King ascends to that position, Dawu is willing to sign an alliance with Daxia and be friends with Daxia for generations."
Hearing Wu Yunwan's words, Lu Chen took a sip of wine, and then asked with a smile: "Why doesn't Dawu sign an alliance with Daxia now?"
Wu Yunwan replied: "If we sign an alliance with the Great Xia court now, the alliance will be invalid after the Northern King ascends to that position. Since the Northern King will ascend to that position soon, Da Wu should naturally discuss the alliance directly with the Northern King."
