Chapter 279 Sooner or Later, I Will Become His Woman
Wu Ming talked with Lu Chen for half an hour at Beiwang Mansion, and roughly discussed the contents of the business cooperation letter.
After Wu Ming left Beiwang Mansion, he was still extremely excited. He sat in the carriage and felt much more comfortable.
At this time, he heard the words Lu Chen had said before. He couldn't help but clenched his fists, and then said to himself: "How dare a mere vassal king dare to humiliate me like this? When I get on that Position, the first one to be destroyed is the North Country.”
Wu Ming also did not expect that Lu Chen would actually tell Beiguo's fear of Wu Yunwan, and in front of him.
The Bei Kingdom was afraid of Wu Yunwan, so they chose to cooperate with him, the second prince. Doesn't this mean that in the Bei Kingdom's eyes, the second prince himself was no threat at all?
When he thought of King Bei praising him for being an honest person, Wu Ming felt a ball of anger burning crazily in his heart.
What a bullshit honest man, King Bei just wants to say that Wu Ming is a fool! I really thought he couldn't hear it!
The more Wu Ming thought about it, the angrier he became, and the joy he felt just now gradually disappeared. He continued to mutter to himself: "Today's humiliation, I will definitely repay in every possible way in the future!"
…
The next morning, Lu Chen sent someone to tell Wu Yunwan that they wanted Wu Ming to sign the business cooperation agreement this time.
Wu Yunwan instantly guessed Lu Chen's purpose of doing this. Lu Chen made it clear that he wanted to sow discord between her and Wu Ming.
Wu Yunwan felt that this was not going to work, so she went directly to Wu Ming and planned to have a good chat with him to prevent Wu Ming from being taken advantage of by Lu Chen.
Hearing that Wu Yunwan was looking for him, Wu Ming basically guessed what was going on, but he still went to Wu Yunwan's yard.
After entering the courtyard, Wu Ming asked, "I wonder what Sister Huang wants to see me for?"
Although the two of them do not have the same mother, Wu Ming still behaves relatively modestly in front of the eldest princess Wu Yunwan, and even calls himself "I" instead of "my king".
Wu Yunwan said calmly: "Did you meet with King Bei alone yesterday?"
Wu Ming smiled and replied: "Sure enough, I can't hide anything from Sister Huang."
Wu Yunwan said: "King Bei just sent someone to tell me that he wants you to sign this business cooperation agreement by name."
Wu Ming showed a surprised expression, "Is this happening?"
Wu Yunwan continued: "Third brother, you should understand that the reason why King Bei did this is to sow discord between you and me, so as to seek more benefits. If you agree to it in order to sign the business cooperation letter, If you violate some of his conditions, it would be tantamount to betraying Dawu. "
Faced with Wu Yunwan's warning, Wu Ming didn't take it to heart. He said with a smile: "Sister Huang, you don't have to scare me, and I am the prince of Dawu. What I should do and what I should not do, I I still have confidence in my heart. My father has sent people to monitor my every move. How could I betray Dawu?"
"The reason why King Bei asked me to sign the business cooperation letter, doesn't Sister Huang think it's because I'm a man?"
Wu Ming's words were very direct. What he meant was that Wu Yunwan was a woman and was not qualified to inherit the throne. To sign a certain contract with a country, of course, one must choose someone who is qualified to inherit the throne.
Wu Yunwan was not angry when she heard what Wu Ming said. She smiled and said, "It seems that I misunderstood the third brother. As long as the third brother did not betray Da Wu, it will be fine."
Wu Ming said at this time: "If Sister Huang has nothing else to do, I will leave first. Yancheng is very prosperous and I want to visit Yancheng."
Wu Yunwan said: "Okay."
Wu Ming then turned and left.
Seeing his leaving figure, Pei Hong next to Wu Yunwan said: "Perhaps King Bei did not put any additional conditions."
Wu Yunwan said: "For the Northern King, no matter how many favorable conditions are obtained in the business cooperation agreement, it is not as profitable as disrupting the entire Dawu Dynasty."
Pei Hong said: "Your Highness, are you planning to give all the credit for your mission to the North to His Highness the Second Prince?"
Wu Yunwan pondered for a moment, and then said: "Send someone to tell King Bei that I want to talk to him alone."
Although Wu Yunwan knew that Lu Chen wanted to drive a wedge between Wu Ming and her, she had to talk to Lu Chen in order to prevent the diplomatic results from this mission to the North from falling into Wu Ming's hands.
King Bei likes to sow discord, so let him sow discord. Anyway, if a woman like her wants to ascend to the supreme position, it will not be easy for the Chen family. When the time comes, not to mention Wu Ming, the other princes of Dawu will also They are her enemies on the way forward.
She and her brothers would fight sooner or later, and there was no need for Lu Chen to sow discord.
As for the diplomatic achievements of this mission to the North, they definitely cannot be given to Wu Ming.
…
North Palace.
study.
Lu Chen was processing official documents when Wu Yuan came in and said, "Your Majesty, Xuanyuan Chaoge has arrived in Yancheng."
After hearing Wu Yuan's words, the corners of Lu Chen's mouth raised slightly, he finally came, and now he didn't have to worry about Xuanyue Palace coming to trouble him.
Wu Yuan continued to ask: "Does the prince want to see him? He has now moved into the mansion you arranged for him."
Lu Chen said: "Let him come to the palace. It just so happens that I have some questions that I want to ask him."
"Yes, I will send someone to inform him now."
Then Wu Yuan turned and left the study.
After a while, Wu Yuan brought Xuanyuan Chaoge to Lu Chen's study.
Xuanyuan Chaoge immediately bowed and said, "This old minister greets the king!"
Lu Chen smiled and said, "You are welcome, Lord Xuanyuan."
Lu Chen then asked directly, "Lord Xuanyuan, I am a little curious, how did you break through to the Heavenly Man Realm?"
"I remember that to break through to the Heavenly Man Realm, you still need to go through the test of this world. If you don't pass the test of this world, you can't break through.
Hearing Lu Chen's words, Xuanyuan Chaoge was stunned for a moment, and then he said, "The test of the world? Your Majesty is right, but we usually call this the unity of the Tao."
"Although people all walk the martial arts path, there are many branches on the martial arts path. Everyone has his own Tao. Only by understanding his own Tao can you break through to the Heavenly Man Realm."
"After the king came to Dayu City for inspection, the old minister's years of heart knot finally disappeared, and the old minister also understood his own Tao, so the old minister successfully united the Tao and reached the realm of unity of heaven and man. "
Hearing Xuanyuan Chaoge's words, Lu Chen thought that Xuanyuan Chaoge's breakthrough to the Heavenly Man Realm was indeed related to him.
Lu Chen then said: "There is a minister in Yancheng who is a Grandmaster of the Supreme Realm. He suddenly caused a strange phenomenon in the world some time ago, but he did not succeed in merging with the Tao. Instead, he only realized the method that could allow him to break through to the Heavenly Man Realm. What's going on? "
"Since he already knows how to break through to the Heavenly Man Realm, then it stands to reason that he has realized his own Tao, so why can't he break through to the Heavenly Man Realm? "
Xuanyuan Chaoge said: "Your Majesty should be talking about Zhuge Chongguang! This old minister has also heard of him. "
Xuanyuan Chaoge heard about Zhuge Chongguang's deeds when he was still in Dayu City. Now Dayu City and Yan City have frequent exchanges, and Dayu City's caravans go in and out of Yan City almost every day, so Xuanyuan Chaoge soon knew what happened in Yan City.
At first, he also thought that Yan City had a strong man in the realm of heaven and man, but when he entered the city just now, he did not sense the so-called strong man in the realm of heaven and man, and he soon realized that this was just the layout of the King of the North.
Lu Chen nodded and said, "Yes, it's him."
Xuanyuan Chaoge continued, "He can cause strange phenomena in the world, proving that he is not far from the unity of heaven and man. The reason why he can't achieve the unity of heaven and man may be because he has not yet understood the Tao he pursues enough. "
"When the old minister learned that the king was in the North Kingdom, it also caused strange phenomena in the world. At that time, a voice told the old minister that if he wanted to break through the realm of heaven and man, he must manage Dayu City well. "
Hearing Xuanyuan Chaoge's words, Lu Chen thought about it and felt that it was a bit too mysterious.
Lu Chen understood that from the first-grade warrior to the grandmaster realm, as long as the skills are constantly accumulated, they can continue to break through the realm.
But when it comes to the grandmaster to the heavenly realm, the improvement of skills is useless. The breakthrough of this realm depends on consciousness.
The specific way to break through is mysterious, anyway, everyone is different.
At first, he and Zhuge Chongguang thought that to break through to the heavenly realm, they needed to be recognized by the world. Now think about it, this seems to be their own idea.
Lu Chen rubbed his temples and stopped thinking about it.
Forget it, it’s useless to think about these now. Anyway, he just needs to know that the heavenly realm is not so easy to break through.
Lu Chen then said: "This king will ask Zhuge University Scholar to learn from you later. You tell him about your experience of breaking through to the heavenly realm and see if he can understand anything. "
Xuanyuan Chaoge said: "Yes, my king. "
At this time, Xuanyuan Chaoge said: "Your Majesty, what position do I hold in Yancheng?"
Although he has broken through to the Heavenly Man Realm, people of Xuanyuan Chaoge's level no longer need to work, but Xuanyuan Chaoge is the lord of a city after all, and he has long been accustomed to the life of management. Now that he is suddenly free, he can't stay.
After hearing Xuanyuan Chaoge's words, Lu Chen pondered for a moment, and then said: "I wanted you to be the Grand Secretary of the Palace at first, but I thought about it and it is not appropriate to expose your existence now, so I can only wrong you for a while. Next, you will be in charge of the manufacture of firearms in the North Country, including the manufacture of steam engines and trains. "
Before Zhuge Chongguang broke through to the Heavenly Man Realm, Xuanyuan Chaoge was a trump card. The reason why the trump card is a trump card is that it is the last card to be played. Naturally, Xuanyuan Chaoge cannot be exposed to the outside world so soon.
Xuanyuan Chaoge immediately said: "No grievance, it is an honor for me to be needed by the king. "
Just then, a servant from the palace said at the door of the study: "Your Highness, Princess Dawu sent someone to deliver a letter."
Lu Chen immediately said: "Bring it in."
Then the maid at the door brought Wu Yunwan's letter to Lu Chen. Lu Chen opened the letter, glanced at it, smiled, and then said to the servant at the door: "Tell the messenger to go back and tell them that the princess is free today."
"Yes, Your Highness."
...
Afternoon.
In the pavilion of the outer courtyard of the Northern Palace, Wu Yunwan, wearing a purple dress, sat on the stone bench in the pavilion, looking at Lu Chen opposite the stone table, and then smiled, "My third brother should have sat in the position where I am sitting now yesterday, right?"
Lu Chen smiled and said: "Unfortunately, the princess guessed wrong. He sat on the stone bench on your right."
Lu Chen then asked: "I wonder why the princess asked me to meet alone?"
Wu Yunwan said: "The King of the North sent someone to where I live and specifically asked my brother to sign the business cooperation agreement. Now he is asking me why? Isn't this asking even though he already knows the answer?"
Lu Chen smiled faintly, and then said: "His Highness Wu Ming is the second prince of Dawu and is qualified to inherit the throne of Dawu. There should be no problem for me to ask him to sign, right?"
Hearing Lu Chen's words, Wu Yunwan's face showed no expression. She naturally heard that Lu Chen was implying that she was just a woman and had no qualifications to inherit the throne.
Wu Yunwan then said: "Does the King of the North really think that the future emperor of Dawu can only be a man? Didn't Dayue also have a female emperor? Since Dayue has one, why can't Dawu have another one?"
Lu Chen said: "Whether the emperor of Dawu is a man or a woman, I don't care. Since the princess wants to sign the business cooperation agreement, she must show sincerity."
Hearing Lu Chen's words, Wu Yunwan smiled slightly, and then said: "I don't know what kind of sincerity the King of the North wants?"
Lu Chen smiled, then picked up the teacup on the stone table, drank a sip of tea, and then slowly said: "Does the princess remember the eldest lady of the Qian family mentioned by the king at the lunch yesterday?"
Hearing this, Wu Yunwan frowned slightly. She didn't know why Lu Chen mentioned the eldest lady of the Qian family at this time. It's already this time, why is Lu Chen still pretending? The so-called eldest lady of the Qian family is just a fake identity she created when she came to Yancheng last time.
Wu Junwan then said, "King of the North, it's already this time, why don't we just get straight to the point?"
Lu Chen smiled faintly, and then continued, "Although the Qian family told me that Miss Qian had passed away, I learned through some gossip that Miss Qian was not dead. She was in the Dawu Qianhai Chamber of Commerce. I fell in love with Miss Qian at first sight and really liked her. I wonder if the princess can give up her love and give Miss Qian to me as a concubine."
Wu Junwan's face was a little serious. She stared at Lu Chen's eyes, trying to see from Lu Chen's eyes that what he said just now was just a joke.
But Lu Chen smiled and stared into her eyes, not joking at all.
Wu Junwan said, "It is said that King of the North is romantic and likes beauty. I didn't believe it at first, but today I saw that it is indeed true."
Wu Junwan thought that Lu Chen could break through to the Grandmaster level at this age, and he must not have much interest in beauty. As a result, he actually said such words to her, so frivolous, like a dandy boy.
This guy actually set his sights on Princess Wu!
Lu Chen said, "A gentleman loves a beautiful lady. I am not lustful. I just like beautiful things."
Seeing that Lu Chen actually compared herself to a "thing", her impression of Lu Chen became worse.
Wu Yunwan then said, "You should know that Miss Qian will never marry you. Please change the conditions, King Bei."
"The princess has collected a lot of information about me through the Qianhai Chamber of Commerce. It should be clear that my only hobby is women. No matter what conditions the princess puts forward, they are not more valuable in my eyes than Miss Qian."
Hearing this, Wu Yunwan was already vaguely angry in her heart, and a slight blush appeared on her jade cheeks.
This little man of seventeen or eighteen actually set his sights on her?
Wu Yunwan then said, "Miss Qian is already in her thirties, not suitable for the King of the North."
Lu Chen said, "Several of my women are already in their thirties, and one of them is even pregnant with my child. I like mature women in their thirties like Miss Qian the most."
Wu Yunwan said coldly, "Please stop joking, King of the North."
Lu Chen said lightly at this time, "Since the princess is unwilling to give Miss Qian to me, then let's just forget about it. Princess, please go back."
Seeing that Lu Chen had ordered her to leave, Wu Yunwan thought to herself, could it be that Lu Chen had never thought of negotiating with her from the beginning? So he said this deliberately?
She said how could the King of the North be attracted by her beauty.
Wu Yunwan immediately stood up and left the pavilion directly. Looking at Wu Yunwan's voluptuous body, Lu Chen's mouth corners slightly raised.
The princess of Dawu, right? Sooner or later, she will become his woman.
