Chapter 184 Lu Chen’s Winning Over

After hearing Chu Xiong's words, Lu Chen thought about it and realized that his grandfather's considerations were quite reasonable.

Such a powerful weapon was given to his mother to bring out, which proves that Xuanyue Palace is probably not afraid of this weapon being lost among the people.

Like the Barrett and Desert Eagle in his hands, he didn't dare to let others use them, for fear that they would accidentally lose them to him and he wouldn't be able to get them back.

If you think about it this way, it was the right choice for Chu Xiong to ask his mother to send that terrifying weapon back.

If such a terrifying weapon is left in the Chu family, it will inevitably attract the covetousness of many forces in the world, and even the man in the capital will be concerned about it. By then, the Chu family will be the target of public criticism, and it will probably be a matter of time before the Chu family is exterminated.

But if you do this, some people within the Chu family will definitely be dissatisfied.

In the eyes of some people, as long as they obtain such a powerful weapon, they will become more powerful. As a result, Chu Xiong not only did not keep the weapon, but instead sent the weapon back to Xuanyue Palace so that the Chu family could A missed opportunity to become stronger.

At this time, Lu Chen said: "Grandpa, I have another question. How did my mother die back then?"

Lu Chen asked Jin Yiwei to investigate a lot of things about his mother, and he roughly knew that his mother's death was probably related to his father, but how did she die? Was she poisoned or killed? Jin Yiwei didn't find it.

He only knew that when he got up one morning, the maids in the courtyard where he was were crying, and then his mother in this world disappeared.

Chu Xiong replied: "I don't know about your mother's death, but it is most likely related to your father."

At this point, Chu Xiong hesitated. He looked at Lu Chen's reaction and wanted to know what Lu Chen was thinking.

If Lu Chen was really Emperor Xia's pawn, Lu Chen would definitely be dissatisfied with himself after hearing his words.

Because Emperor Xia wants Lu Chen to be a chess piece, he will definitely have a good relationship with Lu Chen secretly. Therefore, after Lu Chen heard that his father was slandered, he would definitely defend his father.

However, Chu Xiong found that Lu Chen didn't seem to care at all about what he just said.

Lu Chen said at this time: "I also know that it is related to my father, but I want to know some details of this matter."

Chu Xiong said: "Your Majesty, what happened in the past is in the past. Your mother probably doesn't want you to be trapped in what happened back then."

"Now that you are the leader of a country, you'd better look forward."

Lu Chen said: "That's true."

Speaking of this, Lu Chen asked with a smile on his face: "Grandpa comes to Beijun this time. How long do you plan to stay in Beijun? How about I give grandpa a house and he can retire in Beijun from now on? Anyway, the Chu family has deprived you of the head of the family. There is no need for the Chu family to go back."

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Chu Xiong understood that Lu Chen was planning to recruit him. Chu Xiong did want to stay in Beijun for a while, but it was only for a while. He still had to go back.

Chu Xiong then said: "I came to Beijun this time mainly because I wanted to see you, and then I would stay for a month or two before returning to the Chu family. Although I am no longer the head of the Chu family, I am still a Chu family after all. If the Chu family is in trouble, I I can’t just sit back and watch.”

Hearing Chu Xiong's answer, Lu Chen frowned slightly. It seemed that his grandfather was still on the side of the aristocratic family, which conflicted with his own attitude towards the aristocratic family.

After all, his grandfather was from a wealthy family, and he was the same type of person as Emperor Xia, so their positions were opposite.

Lu Chen then said: "Grandpa, you should be very clear about the current situation of the Chu family. If you return to the Chu family, I am afraid that like the Chu family, you will be eliminated by my father. Why are you suffering?"

Chu Xiong did not respond to Lu Chen's words, but said, "Your Majesty, I want to ask you a question."

Lu Chen said: "You say it."

Chu Xiong then asked directly: "In the eyes of the aristocratic families, the 50,000 heavy cavalry in Beijun are Emperor Xia's private soldiers, and you are Emperor Xia's pawn, so I want to know whether the truth is like this?"

Lu Chen didn't beat around the bush and answered directly: "Grandpa, please don't worry, I am not my father's pawn. As for how those 50,000 heavy cavalry came, I can't tell you that yet. I can only tell you that I There is a very mysterious and powerful force behind him, and even Xuanyue Palace can only be regarded as a small role in front of this force."

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Chu Xiong was stunned.

Is there another powerful force behind my grandson?

this……

real or fake?

But judging from the tone and demeanor of his grandson's words, he didn't seem to be lying.

Is it possible that there really is another mysterious force behind him?

But there are probably not many forces in this world that are more powerful than Xuanyue Palace, right?

Lu Chen actually said that Xuanyue Palace was just a small role in front of the mysterious force behind him?

After Chu Xiong came to his senses, he asked with certainty: "Your Majesty, did you not lie to me?"

Lu Chen said: "This is natural. It is simply impossible for my father to build 50,000 sets of heavy armor under the eyes of the aristocratic family. The aristocratic family would actually think that the 50,000 heavy cavalry in Beijun are my father's private soldiers." ."

After hearing what Lu Chen said, Chu Xiong thought about it and felt it made sense.

Now the entire Great Xia is under the control of the aristocratic family, and now Emperor Xia only has military power. Whether it is the court or the economy of Great Xia, they are basically under the control of the aristocratic family.

If Emperor Xia wanted to build heavy armor, it was impossible for them to have no information at all, and it would still be 50,000 sets, not 500 sets.

Five hundred sets might still be hidden, but once the number reaches tens of thousands, there is no way there will be no signs at all.

Moreover, building 50,000 sets of heavy armor did not happen overnight. Under the surveillance of the family, the news that Emperor Xia had built 50,000 sets of heavy armor was not leaked at all. This was obviously unreasonable.

Chu Xiong frowned at this time, and then he said: "My lord, that mysterious force gave you 50,000 heavy cavalry all at once. I'm afraid it has ulterior motives."

There are only 20,000 heavy cavalry in the entire Great Xia, but the mysterious force is actually so kind to a nominally useless prince, and they attack with 50,000 heavy cavalry. If there is no other intention, no one will believe it.

Lu Chen said calmly: "Grandpa, there are some things I can't tell you in detail, but you can rest assured that this mysterious force has no intentions against me, at least not yet, and I have absolute control over this mysterious force. force."

Hearing what Lu Chen said, Chu Xiong was stunned again.

Does his grandson have absolute control over that mysterious force?

real or fake?

That is a huge force that can produce 50,000 heavy cavalry!

If Lu Chen had absolute control over that mysterious force, wouldn't that mean that he himself was an important figure in this force?

But Lu Chen is only seventeen years old, right?

How did he secretly connect with such a huge force in just a dozen years?

Chu Xiong couldn't believe it.

But he also felt that Lu Chen did not mean to lie to him.

He is no longer the head of the Chu family, and he has nothing to lie to.

Lu Chen continued at this time: "Grandpa, I heard that a large number of people in the Chu family actually support you. How about you let those people come to the North Country too."

"I have a hunch that once the war between Daxia and Dawu ends, the civil war in Daxia will inevitably break out. My father has been able to endure it for so many years mainly because he does not have military power. Now that he has military power, plus this time The aristocratic family secretly provoked the war, which has most likely angered him, and I'm afraid he can't bear it anymore."

The split Chu family poses no threat to Lu Chen, and once the Chu family comes to the North, Lu Chen can legitimately marry Chu Yuqin and Chu Qingli.

Chu Yuqin and Chu Qingli are obviously members of the Chu family. As for Chu Yuqin's marriage to the Wang family, it would be fine as long as Chu Xiong publicly annuls the marriage between Chu Yuqin and the Wang family. As for whether the Wang family recognizes it or not, that has nothing to do with the Wang family. Chu Yuqin didn't even see what the man she was going to marry looked like. How could such a marriage count?

As long as Chu Xiong brings another Chu family out, the marriage will not be annulled casually, and Chu Yuqin and Chu Qingli are both Chu Xiong's adopted daughters in name.

After hearing Lu Chen's words, Chu Xiong thought for a while and then said: "Your Majesty, let me think about it again. I will give you an answer in half a month."

Chu Xiong was a little shaken in his heart. He actually didn't want to have a head-on conflict with Emperor Xia. Once the civil war broke out, it would be neither good for the Chu family nor Great Xia.

Most of the people who supported his faction did not support provoking a war at first, but his two brothers still secretly provoked a war between Dawu and Daxia.

Chu Xiong even felt that they not only wanted to provoke a war between Dawu and Daxia, but their real purpose might be to force Emperor Xia to abdicate.

If you follow the Wang family and mess around, sooner or later it will be over.

However, Chu Xiong couldn't completely believe his grandson. He wanted to see the situation in the North Country again. If the North Country didn't have much potential, then the Chu family might as well move to Dawu or Dayue.

Anyway, it's better than being in Daxia.

When he thought of this, Chu Xiong's emotions became more complicated. When did his thoughts become the same as those of his unfilial son.

This was what his son had thought at the beginning. If a civil war broke out in Daxia, he would take Chu Yuqin directly to Dawu or other dynasties.

As a result, now I also have the idea of ​​​​escape from Daxia.

Seeing that Chu Xiong was tempted, Lu Chen said with a smile: "No problem, when grandpa wants to settle down in the North Country, you can tell me at any time. The door of the North Country will always be open to the outside world."
