Chapter 416 Does Her Majesty Like It?
After hearing the man's voice, the two women turned to look at the door of the yard at the same time, only to see the bad guy they had not seen for almost half a month swaggering into the yard.
Lu Chen walked directly to sit next to Wu Yunwan, and then naturally put his arms around Wu Yunwan's waist.
Wu Yunwan chuckled and said, "King Bei is really a busy man. I haven't seen King Bei in almost half a month."
Hearing this, Lu Chen smiled and said, "My fault, I'm really busy recently."
Wu Yunwan said: "As the head of a country, your prince admits his mistakes at every turn. Wouldn't it be a loss of dignity?"
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Dignity is only for outsiders."
Wu Yunwan continued: "I heard that the palace lord of Xuanyue Palace came to Beiwang Mansion. Beiwang has been so busy in the past half month. Could it be that he was busy discussing important matters with the palace lord in bed?"
Hearing this, Lu Chen looked at Murong Xue'er who was standing aside, and asked with a smile: "Xue'er, do you smell a sour smell?"
Murong Xueer replied expressionlessly: "This slave smelled it and was very sour."
Wu Yunwan snorted coldly when she saw the two men mirroring her in singing, and then said: "The prince just said that he would have a chance to take us to see the artillery in the North in the afternoon. I wonder if what the prince said is true?"
Lu Chen said: "Of course."
"I'll take you there later."
Seeing that Lu Chen really agreed, the two women were very happy.
Although they are now enamored of Lu Chen and have no plans to do anything in the North Country, they still have some obsessions with some things deep in their hearts.
One of their obsessions is that they really want to know how powerful the weapons in the North are.
Wu Yunwan continued to ask at this time: "You helped the eldest prince take over Heyang County, and also assisted the eldest prince in developing his power. Aren't you afraid that he will become a bad guy and you won't be able to do anything against him?"
Hearing this, Lu Chen smiled faintly, and then said: "If I were really worried about this, I wouldn't lend him troops."
Seeing that Lu Chen disapproved, Wu Yunwan reminded at the side: "Lend troops to others casually, and bring weapons from the North. Be careful when they steal your weapons from the North, and then use the weapons from the North to attack the North." ”
Hearing Wu Yunwan's reminder, Lu Chen took hold of Wu Yunwan's body and pulled her towards him, and then said: "I didn't expect you to care so much about things in the North Country now. It seems that you are already used to your new identity. ”
Wu Yunwan said expressionlessly: "I just don't want to see the North Kingdom's weapons spread out and bring more wars to this world."
Lu Chen said: "You are really not frank at all."
At this time, Lu Chen let go of Wu Yunwan's waist, stood up directly and said, "Let's go, follow me to watch the artillery training."
Hearing this, the two women were instantly interested. They quickly stood up and followed Lu Chen to the artillery barracks.
The artillery training was quite active, so it was some distance away from Yancheng. They even took a short train ride when going to the artillery barracks.
Wu Yunwan and Murong Xueer were sitting in the train, feeling filled with emotions.
Compared with the carriage, Lu Chen's exclusive train carriage was more spacious and more luxurious. As the eldest princess, Wu Yunwan had never ridden in such a luxurious car in her life.
Lu Chen's exclusive train carriage was no different from a mobile room, and there was even a bed inside the carriage.
Seeing the bed not far away, Wu Yunwan seemed to see the scene of Lu Chen doing bad things with his wives and concubines on that bed.
When the two girls were distracted, Lu Chen said, "We will sleep on the train tonight and not go back."
Hearing this, Wu Yunwan and Murong Xueer were startled. They knew exactly what they were thinking just now. A blush appeared on the cheeks of both women for a while.
At this moment, a rumbling sound suddenly came from the distance, just like thunder. When they heard such dense "thunder", the two women were startled.
They didn't think it was thunder. After all, the sky was still clear outside. How could there be such dense thunder.
According to the intelligence they collected before, weapons in the North are closely related to thunder.
It seemed that they were almost arriving at the artillery barracks in the North Country.
At this time, the train whistled and made a "woo..." sound, and then the train began to slow down, and after a while, the train stopped.
Lu Chen took the two women out of the train. As soon as they got out of the train, a strong smell of gunpowder hit their noses.
Wu Yunwan and Murong Xueer had never smelled such a strong smell of gunpowder, and this smell made them feel very uncomfortable.
At this time, the two women quickly determined the direction of the "thunder" by listening to the sound, and their eyes were all looking in that direction.
Wu Yunwan asked: "Is this thunder coming from the artillery in the North?"
Lu Chen replied: "Yes, but it is more accurate to call the sound of cannons."
Wu Yunwan turned to look at Lu Chen and asked for confirmation: "Are you sure you want to take us to see your soldier training? I and Xue'er are both sent by the enemy country to steal intelligence."
Although they have been married for a long time and have been together many times, this relationship is not necessarily reliable. Honey trap is the most common strategy.
Even if they say how much they love Lu Chen in bed, or even call her husband, husband, husband, they may still betray her.
Wu Yunwan and Murong Xueer always believed that Lu Chen did not really trust them, but because Lu Chen was strong enough, they were not afraid of them stealing any information from the North Palace.
The artillery of the North was the core secret of the North. Wu Yunwan still couldn't believe that Lu Chen would take the initiative to expose the core secret to the two of them.
Lu Chen smiled and said, "We've already come this far. Do you think I'm teasing you?"
Wu Yunwan said lightly: "I hope you won't regret it then."
Lu Chen didn't pay attention. He took Wu Yunwan and Murong Xueer directly to the training ground.
When the soldiers who were training heard that the prince had arrived, they quickly stopped training and lined up in two rows to wait for Lu Chen's arrival.
When Lu Chen walked into the training ground, the soldiers said in unison: "Greetings to the prince! The prince is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old!"
After Lu Chen entered the training ground, he said, "Don't worry about King Bei, you continue training."
After Lu Chen finished speaking, the soldiers returned to their original positions again.
At this time, Wu Yunwan and Murong Xueer's eyes had fallen on the cannons in the artillery field. They stared directly at the operations of the soldiers, as if they were afraid of missing a step.
After a while, a soldier pulled the gun rope, and then a deafening sound came, and then the shooting range in the distance was blown up with dust.
Seeing this shocking scene, both women were stunned.
Wu Yunwan felt a little uncomfortable.
No wonder the Northern Kingdom was able to defeat the Dawu Dynasty so easily.
She sensed the realm of these artillerymen. Most of these artillerymen were first-class, and some were not even first-class, that is, ordinary people with stronger bodies.
An ordinary person can control such a powerful weapon, and one shell of this weapon is enough to kill a grandmaster, and can even restrain the actions of the grandmaster. If there are enough weapons, the warriors of other dynasties will be as good as ordinary people in front of the North Kingdom. There is no difference between people.
No, to be precise, they are no different from ants.
At this time, the training soldiers fired a salvo of artillery. In an instant, countless huge craters were blown out of the shooting range in the distance, and the dust raised several meters high seemed to form a wall.
Wu Yunwan was completely stunned. Murong Xueer next to her felt almost the same as Wu Yunwan. She thought to herself that if the Dayue Dynasty really faced off against the Northern Kingdom, it would probably have no chance of winning.
From this point of view, it was only a matter of time before she regained her freedom. The original agreement between her and Lu Chen was that after the Dayue Dynasty was destroyed, Lu Chen would give her freedom.
The Northern Kingdom possesses such powerful weapons, and Dayue's destruction is a certainty.
Murong Xueer suddenly felt a little confused in her heart. If one day she really regains her freedom, what will she do?
Leave the North Country and find a place with a more scholarly atmosphere to live?
The sound of artillery continued, but at this time the two women's thoughts were no longer on the artillery field.
After an unknown amount of time, Lu Chen saw that the two of them were distracted, so he said, "Do you want to try it out for yourself?"
After hearing Lu Chen's voice, Wu Yunwan came back to her senses and said, "It seems that you are really not afraid of me figuring out the structure of these artillery pieces."
Just as Lu Chen was about to say something, Wu Yunwan continued: "No need, I have also noticed that it is not difficult to use these artillery pieces, and what is really effective in killing enemies is not the artillery pieces, but those metal balls."
Seeing that Wu Yunwan was not interested, Lu Chen said: "Since you are not interested, let's go to other places to see how other soldiers are trained."
Immediately afterwards, Lu Chen took the two girls to other training grounds.
After an afternoon, Wu Yunwan also saw that in addition to possessing terrifying weapons, the Northern Kingdom's army training methods and military discipline were very different.
Their army seems to be more disciplined and truly follows orders and prohibitions.
This made Wu Yunwan very surprised. Such a lecherous guy actually had an army with such good military discipline. The quality of this army was not at all comparable to that of the ruler Bei Wang.
at dusk.
Lu Chen took Wu Yunwan and Murong Xueer back to the train.
The moonlight is beautiful tonight. The moonlight shines into the carriage through the train window and shines on people's faces, making them look like they are radiating holy light.
Lu Chen brought Wu Yunwan and Murong Xueer to the second carriage. At this time, the table in the carriage was already filled with food.
The lights were not turned on in the carriage, but some candles were lit. The food became more attractive under the light of the candles, making people more appetizing.
Wu Yunwan was a little confused and didn't know what Lu Chen was doing.
Lu Chen smiled and said to Wu Yunwan and Murong Xueer, "Please sit down."
The two girls didn't think much and sat down to enjoy their dinner. It had to be said that the food in the palace was to their liking. Since they moved into the palace, the two of them could no longer get used to eating outside food.
Wu Yunwan said at this time: "I heard that the prince has dinner with his wives and concubines every night. Why don't you go back and have dinner with them today?"
Although Wu Yunwan has never been to Fengyun Courtyard, she already knows most about the situation in the inner courtyard of the palace.
Hearing Wu Yunwan's question, Lu Chen said lightly: "Aren't I going to take you to watch the soldiers train today? I have no choice but to get back."
Wu Yunwan said: "With the speed of the train, if the prince wants to go back, he can still catch up with the dinner at the prince's palace."
Although the artillery barracks Yancheng is relatively far away, it is not impossible to get back, not to mention that they are taking a train, which is much faster than a horse-drawn carriage.
Even if he went back now, Lu Chen might be able to catch up with dinner at the palace.
Wu Yunwan clearly felt that this little man was planning something famous.
Lu Chen said: "You two have been coming to the palace for a while, and I haven't had dinner with you before. Let me make it up to you tonight."
Wu Yunwan said: "Does the prince think that I am as hypocritical as the women in the inner courtyard of the palace?"
Lu Chen laughed, this woman is really indifferent.
Murong Xueer on the side asked directly: "The prince came to us, there must be something important, right?"
Murong Xueer also didn't think that Lu Chen came out by train with them alone just to watch the soldiers training. If it was just to watch the soldiers training, they could go back tonight.
If you don't go back, there's something wrong.
This bad guy must be thinking of something bad.
Lu Chen smiled and then replied: "Today is the birthday of our Queen. I will take her out to relax to prevent her from staying in the North Palace and getting sick."
Hearing what Lu Chen said, Wu Yunwan realized that today was her birthday. She hadn't looked at the date for a long time since she came to Beiwang Mansion, so she didn't expect that today was her birthday at all.
Even she herself had forgotten things, but she didn't expect that this little man would remember them. This made Wu Yunwan feel a little warm in her heart. This little man actually meant something.
No wonder this guy hasn't come to see me for half a month. Today, he suddenly came to his yard. It turned out that he knew it was his birthday, so he came to see him specially.
So, everything in this train was specially arranged by this little man?
Although she had a strange feeling in her heart, Wu Yunwan still said firmly: "I don't have the habit of celebrating birthdays."
Lu Chen ignored Wu Yunwan's words and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's continue eating. After finishing the meal, we still have a lot of things to do."
Upon hearing this, the two women instantly realized what Lu Chen was talking about.
Wu Yunwan laughed in her heart. She finally understood what celebrating her birthday meant. This guy was just doing that kind of thing with her in a different place.
But soon the two women discovered that what Lu Chen said was not just about doing that kind of thing, Lu Chen was really prepared.
After dinner, Lu Chen asked the maids to take Wu Yunwan and Murong Xueer to the third carriage to take a bath. After taking a bath and changing into phoenix robes, Wu Yunwan returned to the first carriage.
Wu Yunwan ran directly to the bed and lay down. She glanced at Lu Chen who was standing at the door and said coldly: "Come on!"
Lu Chen laughed out loud, "When did Her Majesty the Queen become so anxious? She is more anxious than me."
Wu Yunwan said expressionlessly: "You brought the two of us out just to play with our bodies in a different place. When did the prince become so hypocritical? Just do it directly."
Lu Chen smiled and said to the maids without explaining anything, "It's time to start."
The next moment, the lights in the carriage went out. After a while, someone pushed a cart in front of them in the second carriage. There was a strange thing on the dining car.
At this time, the maids said: "Happy birthday to Her Majesty the Queen, may you always be young and beautiful!"
Lu Chen said: "This is our custom in the north. We have to eat birthday cake on our birthday."
cake?
What it is?
Wu Yunwan and Murong Xueer's eyes fell on the cake with candles, their faces full of confusion.
Lu Chen came to the bed at this time and said directly to the maids: "It's time to start."
The maid then pushed the dining cart in front of Wu Yunwan and handed a dagger to Wu Yunwan. When she saw the dagger, Wu Yunwan thought the maid was an assassin. She was about to stop the maid, but her whole body was disturbed by Lu Chenlou's death. She was so dead that she couldn't move at all.
The maid then spoke: "Your Majesty, please cut the cake!"
Wu Yunwan took the dagger with a suspicious look on her face, then turned to look at Lu Chen, "My lord, what are you doing? Why can't I understand this?"
Lu Chen explained: "Everyone in the palace eats cake on their birthday. This is a celebration ceremony."
"Just think of it as a gift."
Wu Yunwan said: "I have never heard of such a strange ceremony."
Lu Chen said, "You just heard about it."
Wu Yunwan didn't think much, she started cutting the cake directly.
Originally there were several steps to celebrate a birthday, but Lu Chen deliberately canceled the two steps of singing a birthday song and making a wish, mainly because it was Wu Yunwan's first birthday, so there was no need to make it so troublesome.
When Wu Yunwan accepted it, he would make up for those steps on his next birthday.
After Wu Yunwan divided the cake into several pieces, she returned the knife to the maid, and then the maid personally cut a piece of cake for Wu Yunwan on the plate.
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Try it and see how this cake tastes?"
Wu Yunwan picked up the spoon, took a spoonful of cake, and then put it into her mouth.
A sweet taste exploded in her mouth instantly. Wu Yunwan was surprised. This was the first time she tasted such sweet food.
At this time, the maid cut the cake for Murong Xueer and Lu Chen. Although Murong Xueer didn't understand why they had to eat this, she also tasted the cake.
Wu Yunwan said at this time: "This dessert tastes good. I didn't expect that the Northern Prince's Mansion has such delicious desserts."
Hearing Wu Yunwan's praise, Lu Chen smiled and then said: "There is another show tonight."
As soon as Lu Chen finished speaking, a "boom" sounded, just like thunder.
Then, a group of colorful starlight exploded in the air, and then turned into star rain and fell.
Wu Yunwan and Murong Xueer were stunned when they saw this scene.
The two women thought it was some kind of strange phenomenon at first, but then more and more colorful starlight exploded, and for a while, the entire train compartment was illuminated.
Under the night sky, the light of the fireworks shone into the train, reflecting the beautiful faces of Wu Yunwan and Murong Xueer.
After an unknown period of time, Lu Chen's voice sounded in Wu Yunwan's ears, "Does Her Majesty like it?" (End of this chapter)
