Chapter 355 The Dawu Envoys Arrived in the North Country
After Dongfang Longyue finished speaking, the eyes of all the girls in the courtyard fell on Lu Chen.
All the girls wanted to know if the hostage Lu Chen mentioned was the one they had in mind.
Lu Chen saw his wives and concubines staring at him, and suddenly felt a little guilty, "Why are you looking at me like this?"
Wang Qingci said with a smile at this time: "The hostage that the prince is thinking about is the eldest princess of Dawu, right?"
Forehead……
Lu Chen immediately said: "I originally thought that the proton was the eldest prince, but after listening to Qingci's words, I realized that who in Dawu is more capable and ambitious, it is Dawu's eldest princess. She is very important to Dawu. Dawu is more important, so I decided to use her as a proton.”
"Qingci, thank you for reminding me."
Hearing Lu Chen's words, the girls laughed inwardly. How could they not know what Lu Chen was thinking.
Lu Chen was probably thinking about Dawu's eldest princess at first.
At this time, Wang Qingci said with a smile: "But as far as the Nu family knows, Wu Yunwan is no longer the eldest princess of the Great Wu Dynasty. Her title of eldest princess has been removed, and most of the officials from her faction have defected. Without other princes, she shouldn't be that important to Dawu, right?"
Lu Chen said calmly: "Although her title has been revoked now, with her ability, she will make a comeback sooner or later. She is still the most important person in Dawu."
At this time, Xiao Wenyao asked innocently and curiously: "Your Majesty asked Dawu's eldest princess to come to the North Kingdom to be a hostage. Does the North Country consider this as a marriage with Dawu?"
Hearing this, Lu Chen glanced at Xiao Wenyao speechlessly. Seeing that Lu Chen's little thoughts were exposed by Xiao Wenyao, the girls covered their mouths and laughed.
For a time, the courtyard was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
At this time, Chu Yuqin explained to Luchen: "Yao Yao, a proton is a proton, and a marriage is a marriage. These two are different."
Xiao Wenyao said doubtfully: "After the eldest princess of Dawu comes to the Northern Kingdom, will she live in the Northern Prince's Mansion?"
this……
Hearing Xiao Wenyao's question, Chu Yuqin was stunned for a moment, and she turned to look at Lu Chen.
Based on Chu Yuqin's understanding of Lu Chen, I'm afraid that after Wu Yunwan came to the North Country, Lu Chen would get her into bed that same day.
Seeing that Chu Yuqin didn't answer, Xiao Wenyao's eyes fell on Lu Chen again. Lu Chen coughed and then said: "In order to better monitor the proton's every move, Wu Yunwan came to the North Country, so naturally he wanted to live there. Under my nose, prevent her from doing something detrimental to the North Country."
Xiao Wenyao said: "Then if the eldest princess moves into the prince's palace, wouldn't she become the prince's woman? If the eldest princess of Dawu marries the prince, wouldn't it be a marriage?"
Um...this...
The girls fell silent.
Looking at it this way, it is indeed a marriage.
"Ahem, Yaoyao, you are thinking too much. Proton is sending an important person to another country to be a hostage. This hostage will go back in the future, while marriage is sending an important woman to marry the other party. That woman will end up There is no need to go back if you become the other person.”
At this time, Zhou Youyou asked curiously: "Then why did the prince let Dawu's eldest princess be a hostage instead of directly marrying him? Anyway, she will become the prince's woman when she enters the palace, and she will not return to Dawu by then and will marry directly. Isn’t it better?”
Hearing this, Lu Chen snorted, then raised his hand and directly used his spiritual power to roll Zhou Youyou, who was sitting on the stone bench, into his arms, "You are such a coward, how dare you slander me? Are you doing this? In your eyes, any woman who enters the palace will be occupied by me!"
After the words fell, Lu Chen put Zhou Youyou on his lap, raised his big hand and slapped her buttocks. After Zhou Youyou made a "squeak" sound, he quickly begged for mercy and said: "Your Majesty, I am not safe." It’s time to talk nonsense, I know it’s wrong, yum yum yum.”
Seeing Zhou Youyou being beaten, Xiao Wenyao not far away also trembled. She actually wanted to ask this question just now, because in her opinion, as long as a beautiful woman enters the palace, except for the maids and servants, she basically He couldn't escape from Lu Chen's palm.
Xiao Wenyao felt a little lucky in her heart. Fortunately, she didn't ask this question just now, otherwise she would probably be the one who got spanked now.
How embarrassing it was to be spanked in front of so many people.
After Lu Chen taught Zhou Youyou a lesson, he did not let Zhou Youyou go. Instead, he held her in his arms and let her sit on his lap. He hugged Zhou Youyou's waist with both hands.
"You remember what Aunt Chu said just now, a proton is a proton, and a marriage is a marriage. The two cannot be confused."
After Lu Chen finished speaking, Yelu Nanyan on the side said: "The reason why the prince did not choose to get married is probably to prepare for the future. If he and Da Wu get married, then Emperor Wu will be the father-in-law of the prince. If the Northern Kingdom wants to send troops to Da Wu in the future, , the Northern Kingdom does not occupy morality.”
Hearing what Yelu Nanyan said, Xiao Wenyao suddenly realized and said: "So that's it, I understand."
Wang Qingci smiled and asked, "Yao Yao, what do you understand?"
Xiao Wenyao replied: "If there is a marriage, Dawu's eldest princess will never be able to return to Dawu. Dawu's eldest princess is so important to Dawu, and Dawu will definitely not want to."
"But if the prince uses the term proton, he can first deceive Dawu's eldest princess, and then sleep with her. In this way, he can not only be related to Dawu, but also be able to Get the body of Princess Dawu."
Speaking of this, Xiao Wenyao looked at Lu Chen and praised him: "Your Majesty is so smart! The most troublesome thing in Daxia is the relationship between relatives and friends!"
Chu Yuqin: "..."
Yelu Nanyan: "..."
Wang Qingci: "..."
…
Although Lu Chen may indeed have such thoughts, it would be a little awkward to say it directly...
Does this mean that Lu Chen hasn't been to her room for too long?
At this time, the girls' eyes fell on Lu Chen, wanting to see what Lu Chen's reaction would be.
Lu Chen said with a smile: "Yao Yao, come to Yuyou's room tonight."
Hearing this, Xiao Wenyao was stunned, couldn't help but swallowed her saliva, and clamped her legs.
At this time, Lu Chen said to Dongfang Longyue: "Longyue, these are the only conditions I have for the time being. You should spread some rumors first and let Dawu's envoy know."
Dongfang Longyue immediately stopped writing and said, "Okay, Your Majesty."
"Then I will report back to the club today."
Lu Chen nodded and said, "Yeah, okay."
After Dongfang Longyue left, Chu Yuqin said worriedly: "Chen'er, that Princess Dawu is a person with real power in Dawu. If she comes to the Northern Kingdom, will she willingly become your woman?"
Before Lu Chen could speak, Wang Qingci said from the side: "Which of the women in the palace was not conquered by the prince? With the prince's ability, no woman can escape from the palm of the prince. At the beginning, some people in the palace refused to die. I married a prince, but now I am not my husband in bed, and I keep calling him a good brother."
Hearing this, Chu Yuqin's face darkened instantly. She gave Wang Qingci a look, and then said, "You shameless vixen, what do you know!"
Chu Yuqin was not a fool. How could she not hear that Wang Qingci was talking about her.
Lu Chen hugged Zhou Youyou's body, and while stroking Zhou Youyou's delicate body with his hands, he said: "She is indeed a very ambitious person, but as long as she enters the palace, her ambition will soon be dissipated. All."
Seeing that Lu Chen was so confident, Chu Yuqin sighed slightly, and then said, "As long as you know what's going on."
Compared with vixens like Wang Qingci who pester Lu Chen every day, Chu Yuqin is more worried about people like Wu Yunwan. Although Yelu Nanyan and Wu Yunwan were both figures who once had real power, but now Yelu Nanyan has no backing.
But Wu Yunwan is different. There is a Dawu Dynasty behind Wu Yunwan. Even if the Dawu Dynasty does nothing, as long as Wu Yunwan thinks about the Dawu Dynasty behind her, she may have some unwanted thoughts in her heart.
At this time, Zhou Youyou in Lu Chen's arms suddenly let out a "嘤咛" sound, and all the girls looked at Zhou Youyou. When Zhou Youyou saw the sisters in the palace staring at her, she suddenly felt extremely ashamed and her face turned red.
After all, she was the mother of two children, and yet she was held in Lu Chen's arms like a child.
At this time, Lu Chen said in Zhou Youyou's ear: "Yuyou, you are not good, you are thinking wildly in front of so many people."
When Lu Chen said this, Zhou Youyou's cheeks became even redder, and she now wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.
Fortunately, Lu Chen didn't continue teasing her. She let go of Zhou Youyou and then said, "Okay, I have something else to do. You two can chat slowly."
Having said this, Lu Chen stood up and walked directly outside the courtyard.
All the girls immediately said in unison: "Farewell to the prince."
As soon as Lu Chen walked out of Fengyun Court, a female soldier hurriedly came to him and said, "Your Majesty, Dawu's envoy has arrived in Yancheng."
Hearing this, Lu Chen was stunned for a moment. He did not expect Dawu's delegation to arrive in Yancheng so quickly.
Lu Chen then said: "Ask Li Rui to arrange for someone to receive the Dawu envoy, and I will not go."
The Dawu Dynasty was the defeated party. Facing the envoys from the defeated country, Lu Chen naturally had no need to receive them in person.
Not only did Lu Chen not plan to receive them in person, but he also planned to ignore Dawu's delegation in the next few days and put Dawu's delegation aside first.
After hearing Lu Chen's words, the soldier immediately said: "Yes, Your Majesty."
Then the soldier turned and left the yard.
…
A quarter of an hour later.
South Gate of Yancheng.
Wu Ming sat on the carriage and looked at the people coming and going on both sides of the road through the window. Seeing that Beiguo did not arrange any reception etiquette, Wu Ming felt very unhappy.
This reminded him of the humiliation he suffered when he came to the North Country last time. He originally thought that he would never come to the North Country again, but he did not expect that he would be on a mission to the North Country again so soon.
And this time he came as an envoy from the defeated country to seek peace, which made Wu Ming feel even more uncomfortable.
Wu Ming thought in his heart that it was all that woman's fault. If there was no problem with her intelligence, how could the Dawu Dynasty launch a war against the Northern Kingdom? Without the war, the Dawu Dynasty would not have suffered this disastrous defeat. Dawu was not defeated, and he Nor would he come to the North to seek peace as an envoy from the defeated country.
His status as an envoy will bring him a lot of trouble in the future. When his father sees him in the future, he will definitely think of defeat and will not want to see him.
Ear will definitely ask the lion to open his mouth this time. If they fail to obtain conditions that Dawu can accept, he, the prince, will probably be scolded by people when he returns to Dawu, which makes the possibility of him becoming the prince even smaller.
Wu Ming even suspected that he had been abandoned by his father, who planned to make the eldest prince the crown prince, so he was sent to the Northern Kingdom to seek peace.
As the Dawu convoy approached the city gate, Wu Ming found that several officials from the Northern Kingdom were waiting at the city gate.
At this time, an official said to Wu Ming's carriage: "Your Highness, the Second Prince of Dawu, I am the governor of Yan County, and welcome you to the Northern Kingdom."
Hearing this, Wu Ming's face darkened instantly. He actually only sent a local official to receive their Dawu delegation.
Although he was unhappy, Wu Ming knew that Dawu was now a defeated country, and he had no right to say anything, and he dared not say anything. If he offended the Northern Kingdom this time, and the Northern Kingdom offered more unfavorable peace terms for Dawu, he would definitely be impeached by many people when he returned to Dawu.
He had to endure.
Thinking of this, Wu Ming calmed down his anger and said, "Thank you for coming to pick us up."
The governor of Yan County at the city gate continued, "We have arranged the accommodation for the delegation. Please follow us into the city."
Then, under the leadership of the governor of Yan County, the delegation of Dawu entered Yancheng.
After arriving at the place to stay, Wu Ming sat in the yard and immediately sent people to collect intelligence from the officials of the Northern Kingdom. He planned to bribe some officials of the Northern Kingdom before the peace talks, so that when they were negotiating, those officials could speak for Dawu, and then Dawu might pay a smaller price.
In the evening.
Wu Ming sat in the pavilion drinking tea. He was originally a very restless person. He basically couldn't stay in one place. Last time he came to the Northern Kingdom, he asked his subordinates to arrange a lot of women for him to enjoy.
But today was different. He sat in the pavilion alone until dark, and did not ask his subordinates to arrange women to sleep with him tonight. The key point was that he really had no mood at all now.
He thought about what he should do when he returned if the Northern Kingdom made a big offer and proposed peace terms that exceeded his father's expectations.
At this moment, a guard of the delegation hurried into the yard. He said to Wu Ming with a newspaper in his hand: "Your Highness, the Eastern Newspaper just published a newspaper that mentioned some of the conditions that the Northern Kingdom might propose for peace talks."
Hearing this, Wu Ming immediately put down the teacup in his hand, grabbed the newspaper from the guard, and opened it to read.
Looking at the content written on the newspaper, Wu Ming frowned unconsciously. The newspaper only mentioned the main aspects of the Northern King's peace talks, but did not mention the specific conditions.
Cessing land and paying compensation are the most basic. Even if the newspaper did not say it, Wu Ming knew that the Northern Kingdom would propose ceding land and paying compensation, which was pure nonsense.
But at this moment, Wu Ming suddenly saw the last item.
Hostage?
