Chapter 242 The North King you are talking about is Lu Chen?

After Wu Yuan brought Wei Siyuan to Lu Chen's study, Wei Siyuan immediately knelt down and said to Lu Chen: "General Wei Siyuan, pay your respects to the prince. The prince is a thousand years old!"

Lu Chen immediately got up from his seat, then held Wei Siyuan's shoulders and said: "General Wei, please get up quickly, I have finally waited for you.

Wei Siyuan then stood up and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After Wei Siyuan got up, Lu Chen asked, "General Wei, do you know how many large warships there are on Fengyun Island now?"

Hearing this question, Wei Siyuan was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "Your Majesty, the ships on Fengyun Island are all medium-sized ships, and there are relatively few large ships, so they are not warships."

After Wei Siyuan arrived in the North Kingdom, he saw the large merchant ships of the Dongfang family. In order to do business and conduct maritime trade, the Dongfang family built extremely large merchant ships.

Before Wei Siyuan saw the Dongfang Family's large merchant ship, he always thought that their Fengyun Island ship was the largest. However, as soon as he arrived in the North Country, he saw a large merchant ship that was one ship taller than them. This immediately made them feel that they were on The boats built on Fengyun Island are all fishing boats.

Now Wei Siyuan was embarrassed to tell Lu Chen that the ship they built was a warship. How could a warship look like a small fish boat in front of a merchant ship?

The understanding of this era is that the bigger the ship, the stronger the power it represents. If it is modern, it is normal for merchant ships to be larger than battleships. We are still in the era of measuring combat effectiveness by tonnage.

After hearing Wei Siyuan's words, Lu Chen thought for a moment. It seemed that if he wanted to build a naval army, he would need to build ships. However, they did not have the technology to build large ships yet.

I will ask people from the Dongfang Family later. The merchant ships built by the Dongfang Family are so big, so they must have shipbuilding craftsmen and shipbuilding skills.

At this time, Wei Siyuan asked: "Your Majesty, when my subordinates arrived in the North Kingdom, they heard that the master of Xuanyue Palace lives in the North Palace?"

Lu Chen was stunned for a moment when he heard Wei Siyuan ask this question. Does it have anything to do with Wei Siyuan having the palace master of Xuanyue Palace living in Beiwang Mansion? How could Wei Siyuan solve this problem?

Lu Chen asked curiously: "Why did you think of asking this question?"

Wei Siyuan asked directly: "I wonder if the prince knows that the owner of Xuanyue Palace is actually the princess of Chen Kingdom?"

If Wei Siyuan was based on his identity as a survivor of the Chen Kingdom, then he would naturally not tell Lu Chen about Chen Wanrong, but now that the Wei family has waited for the birth of the destined son, the Northern King will be their master from now on, so They no longer need to be loyal to the Chen royal family.

Wei Siyuan simply sold Chen Wanrong. After all, Chen Wanrong was the princess of the Chen Kingdom, and Lu Chen was the vassal king of Daxia. Chen Wanrong, a princess of the Chen Kingdom, came to live in Beiwang Mansion. It was obvious at a glance that she was the princess of the Kingdom of Chen. Evil intentions.

As Lu Chen's subordinate, Wei Siyuan naturally wanted to tell this matter, and also asked Lu Chen if he knew about these things.

Hearing Wei Siyuan's words, Lu Chen was stunned again.

How could Wei Siyuan, a person who stayed on Fengyun Island, know about this?

Nowadays, very few people know that Chen Wanrong is the princess of Chen Kingdom. Even the women in Lu Chen in the inner courtyard of Beiwang Palace do not know Chen Wanrong's true identity. Most of them think that Chen Wanrong is just the palace owner of Xuanyue Palace.

After Lu Chen came to his senses, he asked curiously: "How did you know her identity?"

Wei Siyuan said: "To be honest with the prince, the relationship between the Wei family and the Chen royal family was relatively good back then, and they were reused by the Chen royal family. Later, after the Chen Kingdom was destroyed, the Wei family moved to Fengyun Island and waited for the prince's order. .

"In the beginning, the Wei family planned to help Chen Guo recover, and over the years, there have been letters between the subordinates and Princess Chen."

"But since we have received the order from the prince, we will naturally assist the prince in achieving hegemony from now on. The restoration of the Chen Kingdom has nothing to do with the Wei family."

Hearing this, Lu Chen smiled and then said, "So that's what happened."

Lu Chen thought to himself that he didn't expect that Chen Wanrong's person would now become his own. He didn't know what Chen Wanrong would think after knowing this.

At this time, Wei Siyuan continued: "Your Majesty, Princess Chen must have some agenda when she comes to the North Palace. You must be careful."

Hearing this, Lu Chen said calmly: "You don't have to worry about this. Soon, she will become my concubine and give birth to children for the Northern King."

"You old ministers of Chen State don't have to worry too much."

this……

Wei Siyuan was slightly startled.

To be honest, the conflict between Chen Wanrong and Lu Chen is really not what Wei Siyuan wants to see, because the Wei family had a very good relationship with the Chen royal family back then, and the Wei family is what it is today because of the Chen royal family. Support, if it were not for the help of the Chen royal family, the Wei family might not be able to wait for the son of destiny to appear.

It would be great if Princess Chen could be united with the Son of Destiny.

Wei Siyuan came to his senses and said, "I understand."

Lu Chen continued: "Also, you should go and tell her later about your Wei family's surrender to me. It's time for me to have a showdown with her."

Wei Siyuan said: "I understand."

What Lu Chen was thinking was that it had been delayed for so long. This was a good opportunity. The Wei family must be a very important force for Chen Wanrong. Now that the Wei family has joined the Northern Kingdom, this must be a good opportunity for Chen Wanrong. It was a huge blow, which would make Chen Wanrong lose sight of the hope of returning to the country.

In addition, Chen Wanrong already knew about his affair with Lin Wanyun, and it was not a day or two for her to spy on her and Lin Wanyun's affair. Chen Wanrong should have guessed that she and Lin Wanyun's secret was known to her.

When she finds out that Chen Wanrong's old ministers have come to seek refuge with her, then Chen Wanrong will definitely have a nervous breakdown, and she can't help but come directly to find her. All he has to do is wait.

Wei Siyuan then reported to Lu Chen the situation on Fengyun Island. After the report was almost complete, Wei Siyuan went to Yunrong Courtyard under the leadership of the servants of the palace.

At this moment.

Lin Wanyun and Chen Wanrong were discussing the affairs of Chen Guo's old ministers in the pavilion.

Chen Wanrong said: "The Wei family should arrive in Yancheng in the next few days."

Lin Wanyun asked with concern: "Palace Master, are these Wei family members really reliable? After all, the Chen Kingdom has been gone for so many years, and people's hearts can change. What's more, they have 100,000 elite soldiers on Fengyun Island. They may have some troubles." The thoughts you should have.”

Since ancient times, when the royal family is weak, generals with military power may have the idea of ​​becoming emperor. What's more, the Chen Kingdom has been destroyed long ago, and the Chen Kingdom's royal family only has one princess left, not even a prince. In a royal family that doesn't even have a prince, why should others help you restore the country? You might as well become the emperor yourself and forcefully marry the princess of the royal family. perform

Chen Wanrong said: "The Wei family has always been loyal to the royal family of the Chen Kingdom. Many members of the Wei family died in battle for the Chen Kingdom. It was also thanks to the Wei family that I was able to escape from the imperial capital of the Chen Kingdom. Now I am a member of Xuanyue Palace. Palace Master, with the power of Xuanyue Palace, they will not change their minds."

Chen Wanrong naturally understands why Lin Wanyun is worried. If she is just a princess who has no power to control the chicken, the Wei family is likely to wait for the restoration of the country under the banner of restoring the country, and then forcibly marry her, then steal the country, and finally become He became the emperor of the Wei family.

But she is not a powerless princess. She has the entire Xuanyue Palace behind her. It is impossible for the Wei family not to know what kind of power Xuanyue Palace is. With Xuanyue Palace as a super sect, Chen Wanrong does not believe that the Wei family dares to have such power. The thought of stealing the country.

After hearing Chen Wanrong's words, Lin Wanyun thought about it and felt that it made sense. After all, Chen Wanrong was the master of Xuanyue Palace, and Chen Wanrong himself was a master. The Wei family might still be loyal to the Chen family and to Chen Wanrong.

Just when Lin Wanyun was thinking this, a maid from the palace suddenly entered Yunrong Courtyard. Seeing the maid coming in, Lin Wanyun and Chen Wanrong were stunned at the same time and became alert instantly.

Normally, the maids of the palace would not enter the Yunrong Courtyard directly without their permission. The two of them have a special status. They are guests in the palace, so the maids always stand outside the Yunrong Courtyard. With.

At this time, the maid said: "Palace Master Chen, there is a guest named Wei who wants to see you."

Hearing this, Chen Wanrong frowned slightly.

A guest named Wei?

Then it’s just Wei Siyuan?

Why did Wei Siyuan come to the North Prince's Mansion to see him?

Chen Wanrong and Lin Wanyun both turned their heads at the same time and looked at each other. Lin Wanyun asked: "Palace Master, you didn't ask him to come to Beiwang Mansion to find you, right?"

Chen Wanrong didn't say anything. This was the North Prince's Mansion. How could she let Wei Siyuan, an old minister of the Chen Kingdom, come to the North Prince's Mansion to look for her? If she asked him to come to the North Prince's Mansion to look for her, Lu Chen would have discovered it.

Lu Chen had already seen through their plan. If Lu Chen knew that Chen Guo still had 100,000 elite soldiers on Fengyun Island, who knows what would happen.

If something went wrong, there must be a monster. Chen Wanrong didn't believe that Wei Siyuan was a man of several decades. He had no brain at all. He came to Beiwang Mansion to look for her. Something must have happened.

Chen Wanrong then asked the maid, "Where is he now?"

The maid replied: "It's in the palace."

Chen Wanrong immediately said: "Bring him over."

"Yes, Palace Master Chen."

Then the maid turned and left. Not long after, a middle-aged man appeared at the door of Yunrongyuan.

Seeing Wei Siyuan's appearance, Chen Wanrong was stunned again. Although she had not seen Wei Siyuan for more than ten years, she could still recognize Wei Siyuan at a glance. The middle-aged man in front of her was indeed the one who protected her in the first place. Wei Siyuan escaped from the Imperial City of Chen State.

Wei Siyuan is almost the same as he was more than ten years ago. Except that his beard has grown thicker and he has become more mature, his whole person has not changed much.

After Wei Siyuan entered the courtyard, he recognized Chen Wanrong at a glance. Although Chen Wanrong had changed a lot from a little girl to an older girl, Chen Wanrong looked very much like the former Empress Chen, so she still looked very similar. Easy to recognize.

Wei Siyuan immediately walked outside the pavilion, half-knelt down and said: "Old minister Wei Siyuan, pay my respects to the princess! The princess is a thousand years old!"

Hearing this, Chen Wanrong and Lin Wanyun were startled.

This is how Wei Siyuan can perform such a courtesy in the Northern Palace. Although the name of the palace master and princess have the same pronunciation, if you add "Qiansi Qianji Qianqiansui" after it, others will be able to tell at once that you are calling "Princess".

Chen Wanrong was a little puzzled. Why was Wei Siyuan not vigilant at all?

Chen Wanrong then said coldly: "Get up."

Wei Siyuan immediately got up from the ground and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, Princess."

Um?

Chen Wanrong raised her eyebrows again and just called her princess. She also added "Your Highness". Was she afraid that others wouldn't know that she was a princess?

Chen Wanrong said at this time: "I haven't seen you for more than ten years. Mr. Wei has changed a lot."

Wei Siyuan said: "Compared with Her Royal Highness, the changes in the old minister are nothing."

Seeing Wei Siyuan talking about His Royal Highness, Chen Wanrong couldn't bear it any longer. She asked directly: "Why did Mr. Wei come to the North Prince's Mansion to look for me? What happened?"

Hearing this question, Wei Siyuan said with a smile on his face: "Returning to your Royal Highness, the old minister did not come to see you specially. It's just that the old minister happened to come to the North Palace for business, so he stopped by to see you."

this……

Hearing Wei Siyuan's answer, Chen Wanrong and Lin Wanyun suddenly had a bad feeling in their hearts.

Wei Siyuan came to Beiwang Mansion for something? What could happen to him, a minister of the Chen Kingdom, who came to Beiwang Mansion?

Soon Chen Wanrong guessed the meaning of Wei Siyuan's words, and she said coldly: "You betrayed Chen Guo?"

At this point, a cold air was released from Chen Wanrong's body, and the entire courtyard became extremely cold, as if there was a layer of frost on the inside and outside of the pavilion.

Wei Siyuan still said with a smile on his face: "What are you saying, Your Highness Princess? The old ministers have never betrayed the Chen Kingdom, because the old ministers and the Wei family were members of the Northern King from the beginning."

this……

As soon as Wei Siyuan said these words, Chen Wanrong and Lin Wanyun were stunned.

Especially Chen Wanrong, she was extremely shocked.

People from the Northern King?

Lu Chen’s people?

How old is Lu Chen this year?

How could Wei Siyuan be Lu Chen's person from the beginning?

Of course Wei Siyuan knew that Chen Wanrong would not understand why he said that. After all, Lu Chen was only eighteen years old this year, and the Wei family had already been in the Chen State when the Chen State was founded. The Wei family had a long history in the Chen State. It's been hundreds of years.

Even if Chen Wanrong couldn't figure it out, Wei Siyuan couldn't tell Chen Wanrong some of these secrets casually. He came mainly to explain his position to Chen Wanrong. As for other things, he didn't need to tell Chen Wanrong.

After Wei Siyuan finished speaking, the Yunrong Courtyard instantly became extremely quiet, and the sound of fish turning over the water in the lotus pond became extremely loud.

Chen Wanrong never thought that Wei Siyuan would be Lu Chen's man.

After a while, Chen Wanrong confirmed: "The Northern King you are talking about is Lu Chen?"

What Chen Wanrong was thinking at this time was that maybe the Northern King Wei Siyuan was talking about was not Lu Chen, but another person. The Northern King was just a title for a prince, and anyone could use this title. Maybe Daxia had it before. A Northern King they didn't know.

However, Wei Siyuan said at this time: "Yes."

Seeing Wei Siyuan's admission, the expression on Chen Wanrong's face became even colder. She had always thought that Chen Guozhongliang, the important force that she had been waiting for to help her regain her country, now came to tell her that they were Lu Chen's people. ?

Are you kidding me?

After an unknown amount of time, Chen Wanrong said coldly: "The Wei family was almost exterminated for the sake of the Chen Kingdom. Now you tell me that you were from the beginning King Bei. Was King Bei born at that time?"

Wei Siyuan noticed Chen Wanrong's anger and felt chills, but Wei Siyuan remained calm. He said with a smile: "Your Highness, the Wei family has indeed paid a lot for Chen Guo, but that is just for To repay Chen Guo, there are some things that I cannot tell you too much, but I can tell you that the master of the Wei family has only been King Bei from the beginning."

Chen Wanrong said: "So, when I came to the Northern Kingdom, your Wei family told the Northern King everything about me?"

Wei Siyuan said: "That's not true. This is the first time that the old minister has come to the Northern King's Mansion. Today is also the first time that the old minister has met with the Northern King. However, judging from the conversation between the old minister and the Northern King just now, the Northern King has indeed known about you for a long time. identity of."

"The reason why the old minister came to see you now is also the intention of King Bei."

After the words fell, there was another long silence.

Chen Wanrong didn't think Wei Siyuan would deceive her as a fool. After all, what Wei Siyuan said was a bit too weird. Lu Chen hadn't even been born yet, and the Wei family belonged to Lu Chen. Such words could only deceive fools.

But in Lu Chen's case, the more something goes against common sense, the more likely it is to be true.

Chen Wanrong and Lin Wanyun have been in the Northern Kingdom for such a long time, and they have already seen all kinds of magic in Lu Chen. They have also heard rumors in the palace that Lu Chen is a disciple of the immortal.

In addition, Chen Wanrong has a master with extraordinary strength. She has seen many strange things in the world, so Chen Wanrong quickly accepted Wei Siyuan's words in her heart.

If everything Wei Siyuan said is true, then it proves that someone was paving the way for Lu Chen before he was born.

Thinking about it this way, all the things that happened after Lu Chen came to the Northern Kingdom seemed to be driven by an invisible hand. Lu Chen was probably not an ordinary prince. Coupled with the rumors of the immortal disciple, this further illustrates Lu Chen's Identity is very special.

What kind of force is behind Lu Chen?

Chen Wanrong suddenly felt powerless, and she felt like she had hit a thick wall.

Lin Wanyun, the person closest to her, was tricked by Lu Chen, and now Wei Siyuan told her that the important force she was waiting for to restore the country was also Lu Chen's.

Ever since she came to the North Country, she felt as if everything in the world revolved around this man, Lu Chen.

Seeing that Chen Wanrong had not spoken for a long time, Wei Siyuan continued: "Your Royal Highness, there is no need for you and King Bei to be on opposite sides. Although he is Emperor Xia's child, he is not just Emperor Xia's child. You two have a lot in common. Benefit, and as far as the old minister knows, his mother is the goddess of Xuanyue Palace, and he is the son of Xuanyue Palace."

Hearing this, Chen Wanrong said coldly: "You don't need to be his lobbyist, you can go out."
