Chapter 278: The King Falls in Love with Miss Qian at First Sight

After hearing Wu Yunwan's words, Lu Chen smiled faintly, and then said: "Eldest Princess, you must have misunderstood, I have never coveted that position in the capital.

"My father loves the people like his son, he is kind and wise, and he loves and cares about his children. I am his proudest child. How could I do such an unfilial thing as seeking power and usurping the throne?" ”

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Wu Yunwan chuckled, and then said: "King Bei is really good at joking. If the relationship between you and Emperor Xia is really as harmonious as you say, the Great Xia court will not be in Qi Dynasty." Even if the country garrisoned troops, the Northern Kingdom would not send a hundred thousand troops to confront the army of the Great Xia court on the border of Qi Kingdom. "

Lu Chen said: "There is no need to discuss this topic. I will never take the initiative to provoke a civil war in Daxia. I would like to thank Dawu for his kindness here."

Seeing Lu Chen blocking the road with just one sentence, Wu Yunwan basically understood that Lu Chen would most likely not provoke a civil war in Daxia in a short time.

If Lu Chen is really the owner of Tingyu Tower, it means that Lu Chen has been very concerned about intelligence work from the beginning. Now Tingyu Tower has been spread over several dynasties, and it is easy to collect intelligence.

The more the rulers pay attention to the intelligence of the major dynasties, the smarter they are and not so easy to fool.

What's more, after the Qianhai Chamber of Commerce and Tingyulou cooperated, Tingyulou may have found out a lot of internal information about Dawu through the Qianhai Chamber of Commerce. The purpose of their mission to the North Kingdom was probably already known to the King of Bei. At this time, it is basically impossible to deceive the Northern King into civil war with the Daxia court.

The snipe and the clam compete for the fisherman's profit. It is not easy for Dawu to become a fisherman.

Now we can only settle for the next best thing, which is to reach some cooperation with the Northern Kingdom, and then stimulate the Great Xia court to send troops to the Northern Kingdom.

Then Wu Yunwan said with a smile: "I heard that King Bei and Dayue Dynasty signed a business cooperation agreement, which strengthened the trade between the two parties. I think you should pay great attention to business development when you come to King Bei. In my opinion, Dawu should also have What the Northern Kingdom needs, I wonder if Dawu can sign a business cooperation agreement with the Northern Kingdom like Dayue? "

After hearing Wu Yunwan's words, Lu Chen knew that Wu Yunwan had not given up yet and still wanted to mess up Daxia, but he didn't care at all.

Dawu wants to sign a business cooperation agreement with them, so just sign it. For the current Northern Kingdom, the import of some resources is still too single.

Although Northland has now added Northland to its own map, they have not started to exploit the resources owned by Northland on a large scale. They have not yet found some ore resources and have no idea where to mine them. Now they still have to rely on trade transactions. .

Dawu has a vast territory and numerous resources. Since Dawu is willing to conduct trade cooperation with the Northern Kingdom, it is definitely a good thing for the Northern Kingdom.

In this way, the Northern Kingdom would not be so dependent on Daxia's resources.

Of course, this is just a transitional period in the North, and it won't last long.

Lu Chen smiled and said at this time: "Of course there is no problem, but the eldest princess has only arrived in the North today. It is not appropriate to discuss too many political affairs today. Let's leave the business cooperation letter to tomorrow."

Just as Wu Yunwan was about to say something, Lu Chen continued: "I heard that Dawu was able to quell the civil strife in the dynasty because of the eldest princess. It is Dawu's great fortune to have a woman like the eldest princess who can be both literary and military! "

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Wu Yunwan smiled slightly, and then said: "King Bei is joking, I was able to put down the rebellion in the southeast of Dawu only because the soldiers fought hard for Dawu and the rebels. How can I compete with the soldiers?" achievement.

Lu Chen said with a smile: "The eldest princess is humble. No matter how good the soldiers are, they need excellent commanders and command to be able to exert their combat effectiveness. I heard that before the eldest princess led the troops, there were two princes in Dawu who led Dawu's elite troops. Encircling and suppressing the rebels, the two princes not only failed to destroy the rebels, but also caused Dawu to lose many elite soldiers. "

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Wu Ming's face turned dark instantly next to Wu Yunwan.

One of the two princes Lu Chen mentioned was Wu Ming himself, which made Wu Ming feel that Lu Chen was trying to blame him.

Although he felt very unhappy, considering that their mission to the North Kingdom was for a purpose, Wu Ming had no choice but to endure it no matter how uncomfortable he felt.

At this time, Wu Yunwan was also aware of Lu Chen's intention. She didn't believe that Lu Chen didn't know that Wu Ming was one of the two princes. However, Lu Chen brought up the matter at this time, and still used it to She is a woman compared with Wu Ming.

Obviously, Lu Chen was trying to drive a wedge between her and Wu Ming.

In order to prevent Lu Chen from continuing to sow discord, Wu Yunwan said quickly: "By the way, I forgot to tell King Bei about something. I heard that King Bei likes beautiful women, so when I came to the North this time, I specially prepared something for King Bei. A great gift.”

Hearing this, Lu Chen smiled and said, "Oh? Is the gift that the eldest princess prepared for me a beautiful woman?"

Wu Yunwan smiled slightly, and then said: "Of course there is not just one, but ten stunning dancers. I wonder if we can let them in?"

Lu Chen said: "Of course."

After hearing this, Wu Yunwan then said to the members of the mission next to her: "Go and bring them in."

After a while, the members of the mission next to Wu Yunwan entered the hall with ten stunning dancers.

Wu Yunwan asked: "What does King Bei think of them?"

Lu Chen did not answer immediately. He swept his eyes around the girls and used the system to identify their ratings. He found that basically the ratings were above eighty, but did not reach ninety. The highest one was only Eighty-nine, it fails to meet the standards specified by the system.

These dancers are beautiful, but they don't have much effect on him. Lu Chen then said with a smile: "These dancers are all beautiful, but..."

Having said this, Lu Chen paused for a moment, and then continued: "It's just that they are not the type that I like. Thank you to the eldest princess for your kindness."

Seeing that Lu Chen refused directly, Wu Yunwan was slightly stunned. She thought that even if Lu Chen didn't like these dancers, he would accept them because they were gifts from the Dawu Mission. She didn't expect that Lu Chen actually refused.

However, this also shows that Lu Chen is indeed different from the rumors. He is not a lecherous person. If you think about it, if he is really a lecherous person, how could he break through to the grand master realm at this age.

Just when Wu Yunwan was thinking this, Lu Chen said, "I like one of your Dawu women."

Hearing this, Wu Yunwan came back to her senses and asked with a smile: "I wonder who this woman is, and she can be favored by King Bei. When I return to Dawu, I will definitely send that woman to Prince Bei's Mansion. "

Lu Chen sighed and looked very sad, "I once met the daughter of the president of the Qian Family Chamber of Commerce. I fell in love with Miss Qian at first sight. It's a pity that the beauty is unlucky. I want to find a way to make her After the Qian family moved to the north, they heard from Chairman Qian that his daughter had passed away. "

As soon as these words came out, Pei Hong, who was sitting behind Wu Yunwan, instantly clenched the sword in his hand, and Wu Yunwan's eyebrows also slightly raised.

Although she had already guessed that Lu Chen was the owner of Tingyu Tower when she entered the city, she did not expect that Lu Chen would actually talk about it at this time, and also said that he fell in love with her at first sight.

Could it be that King Bei was teasing her?

Wu Yunwan laughed in her heart,

A young man of seventeen or eighteen years old actually teased her, a eldest sister in her thirties.

Ha, that's interesting.

Then Wu Yunwan said: "King Bei, please express your condolences. There are countless beautiful women in the world. With your ability, King Bei, you can get any kind of beautiful woman. There is no need to mourn for a beauty who has passed away."

Lu Chen took a sip of wine and said, "The eldest princess is saying that this king is too pretentious."

"But having said that, I discovered that the eldest princess looks very similar to Miss Qian."

Wu Yunwan was not very touched in her heart. She said calmly: "Maybe King Bei misses Miss Qian too much and has an illusion."

Lu Chen smiled and then said: "Okay, this is the first time the eldest princess has come to the North Country. Let's not talk about these sad things. Let's continue drinking and tasting delicious food."

Having said this, Lu Chen said to the piano player and dancer in the hall: "Keep playing music, keep dancing."

The luncheon finally lasted for about an hour, which was an extremely long hour for Pei Hong. He was always worried that King Bei would do something detrimental to Wu Yunwan.

Wu Yunwan also felt that Lu Chen's eyes were staring at her from time to time, especially after Lu Chen said that he fell in love with Miss Qian at first sight, Lu Chen's eyes seemed to be scanning her body all the time.

Wu Yunwan suspected that she was too nervous and had an illusion. After the luncheon, Wu Yunwan couldn't help laughing at herself. It was really ridiculous that she would be so nervous because of a word from a seventeen or eighteen-year-old man.

Lu Chen was obviously reminding her that he already knew that Qianhai Chamber of Commerce was hers, and asked her not to try to play tricks. As for the words "falling in love with Miss Qian at first sight", it was obviously false.

After the luncheon.

The Northern Palace arranged the members of the Dawu Mission in a residence in the north city of Yancheng, and they would all live here in the next few days.

At this time, Wu Yunwan was sitting in the pavilion in the courtyard, seeming to be thinking about something. At this time, Pei Hong said to the side: "Your Highness, I'm afraid the Qian family can no longer be trusted."

Hearing Pei Hong's words, Wu Yunwan thought for a moment, and then said: "Not necessarily."

"Although King Bei knew that Qian Dahai was from the palace from the beginning, he still dared to use Qian Dahai, which proved that King Bei was very confident in himself. Now Qian Dahai has moved the Qian family to the North, and it seems that he has completely surrendered to him. Beiguo, this may seem to King Bei that he has taken Qian Dahai away from me. "

"Of course, whether the Qian family can be trusted depends on what kind of information they can provide us."

"Now that Qian Dahai's two sons are still in the Qianhai Chamber of Commerce, Qian Dahai can only listen to me. I believe that he will not dare to betray me. It depends on whether the King of Bei will let Qian Dahai have access to the secrets of the North. "

In Wu Yunwan's view, Qian Dahai's two sons are still in his hands, and his two sons have secretly expressed their allegiance to him. Qian Dahai will not betray easily. The key is to look at the attitude of King Bei. Let’s see if King Bei really trusts Qian Dahai.

If King Bei really trusts Qian Dahai, then the Qian family can continue to play a role. If King Bei doesn't trust Qian Dahai, then the Qian family can still help Qian Hai Chamber of Commerce run various businesses in Beiguo.

In other words, for Wu Yunwan, no matter whether Qian Dahai can obtain more information from Beiwang Mansion, Qian Dahai and the Qian family are of great use to her, and she has no plans to give up Qian Dahai yet. Home.

After hearing what Wu Yunwan said, Pei Hong also realized that the Qian family was still useful to Wu Yunwan, so he stopped talking about the Qian family. At this time, he thought of what the other King of the North said at the luncheon, and then he reminded: "Your Highness, I saw the King of the North staring at you many times at the luncheon, and he also said that he fell in love with Miss Qian at first sight. I think he is probably really coveting your beauty. We'd better be on guard against him."

The reputation of the King of the North was not very good. It was said that he was a lustful person. Even the people of the North thought that the King of the North was more romantic.

Wu Yunwan smiled faintly, and then said: "Mr. Pei is overthinking. What he said at the luncheon was just to remind me that he knew that Qianhai Chamber of Commerce belonged to me, and warned me not to use Qianhai Chamber of Commerce to mess around in the North."

Pei Hong did not continue to speak, he fell into silence.

Pei Hong also thought at first that Lu Chen's words were just a warning to them not to use Qianhai Chamber of Commerce to cause trouble in the Northern Kingdom, but as a person who had experienced it, he always felt that Lu Chen's eyes looking at Wu Yunwan were a little strange.

Maybe he was overthinking it.

Wu Yunwan said at this time: "What we should guard against most now is that the Northern King takes this opportunity to sow discord between me and the Second Prince."

Wu Yunwan saw it at the luncheon. Lu Chen had been belittling Wu Ming in various ways. It was obvious that he was trying to sow discord and make Wu Ming hate her.

As a woman, she not only led this visit, but also compared Wu Ming, a colleague, in various ways. Wu Ming must be very unhappy now.

Pei Hong reminded, "In order to prevent the Second Prince from having a grudge against you, I think it's better for you to have a few words with him to prevent him from making trouble for you when we negotiate a trade cooperation agreement with the Northern Kingdom."

Wu Yunwan said, "He has someone watching him, so he won't make trouble for me for this matter, unless..."

Before Wu Yunwan finished speaking, a soldier from the delegation hurried into the yard, "Princess, it's bad, the Second Prince went to the Northern Palace to meet with the Northern King."

Hearing this, Wu Yunwan was shocked. Her face darkened instantly, her eyebrows slightly wrinkled, and then she asked: "Did the old man next to him go with him?"

The soldier replied: "He went with him."

Wu Yunwan pondered for a moment, and then said: "It seems that my father still doesn't want me to accumulate too many merits."

"Forget it, since the old man is also by Wu Ming's side, he should not do anything that is not good for Da Wu."

Wu Yunwan did not know the old man next to Wu Ming, but she found out through various channels that the old man was the grandmaster sent by her father to protect Wu Ming.

Of course, while protecting, he was also managing Wu Ming to prevent Wu Ming from doing anything out of line.

Pei Hong said at this time: "Your Highness the Second Prince is a little too anxious."

They just arrived in Yancheng today, and the lunch just ended, but Wu Ming ran to find the King of the North. What else can Wu Ming do when he goes to the King of the North? It is obvious that he went to the King of the North to discuss the trade cooperation agreement, and he wanted to steal the credit.

Going to the King of the North in such a hurry will give people the feeling that they are begging the North Country to sign a trade cooperation agreement.

At the same time

Beiwang Mansion, in the pavilion of the outer courtyard.

Wu Ming and Lu Chen sat opposite each other.

Lu Chen poured a cup of tea for Wu Ming, then said with a smile: "I didn't expect Wu Ming to come to me so soon. Wu Ming should come to me for the business cooperation agreement, right?"

Wu Ming said: "It seems that Beiwang had expected me to come."

Lu Chen picked up the teacup on the stone table, took a sip of tea, and then said: "Dawu has such a strong princess. You brothers have a hard time."

Wu Ming said: "Beiwang seems to know Dawu's situation very well?"

Lu Chen said: "I can't say I know it very well, I can only say I know a little bit."

At this point, Lu Chen asked: "Tell me, Your Highness Wu Ming, how do you want me to help you?"

Wu Ming was stunned when he heard Lu Chen's question.

Help?

Beiwang said he wanted to help himself?

There is no free lunch in the world. Although he does not have the strong personal ability of Wu Yunwan, he is not a fool.

Wu Ming said, "King of the North, please tell me what you want first."

Lu Chen said, "To be honest, I don't have too many requests. It's just that your eldest princess has caused me a lot of trouble, so I don't like her."

At this point, Lu Chen asked, "Your Highness Wu Ming should know who owns the Qianhai Chamber of Commerce, right?"

Wu Ming replied, "Of course."

Lu Chen continued, "The eldest princess of the Great Wu allowed the Qianhai Chamber of Commerce to infiltrate the Northern Kingdom and unscrupulously inquire about the secrets of the Northern Kingdom, which makes me feel a little uncomfortable."

Wu Ming said, " Why do I feel that you think she is a difficult woman to deal with, so you want to cooperate with me? "

Lu Chen smiled, and then said: "Your Highness Wu Ming may also think so. Compared with a woman who is proficient in calculation, I prefer to deal with an honest person like Your Highness Wu Ming."

Lu Chen's words instantly made Wu Ming feel insulted, but Wu Ming didn't care. Since the King of the North was afraid of Wu Yunwan, it was a good thing for him. He could use this to reach a cooperation with the King of the North, and then grab the credit for this mission to the North.

Lu Chen continued: "This time, the trade cooperation book will be signed by Your Highness Wu Ming. I wonder what Wu Ming thinks?"

Wu Ming was stunned. If he could sign the trade cooperation agreement, the results of this mission would be his.

Wu Ming immediately said, "Thank you, King Bei."

I will update once every few days. I will take a short break and wait for the third day to adjust the update. In addition, I will update 5,000 words per update, which is more than those authors who update twice a day. I am not lazy.
