Chapter 278 I fell in love with Miss Qian at first sight

After hearing Wu Yunwan's words, Lu Chen smiled faintly, and then said: "Eldest Princess, you must have misunderstood, I have never coveted that position in the capital.

"My father loves the people like his son, is kind and wise, and he loves and cares about his children. I am his proudest child. How could I do such an unfilial thing as seeking power and usurping the throne?" .”

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Wu Yunwan chuckled, and then said: "King Bei is really good at joking. If the relationship between you and Emperor Xia is really as harmonious as you said, the Great Xia court will not be in Qi Dynasty." Even if the country garrisoned troops, the Northern Kingdom would not send a hundred thousand troops to confront the army of the Great Xia court at the border of Qi Kingdom."

Lu Chen said: "This topic does not need to be discussed. I will never take the initiative to provoke a civil war in Daxia. I would like to thank Dawu for his kindness here."

Seeing Lu Chen blocking the road with just one sentence, Wu Yunwan basically understood that Lu Chen would most likely not provoke a civil war in Daxia in a short time.

If Lu Chen is really the owner of Tingyu Tower, it means that Lu Chen has been very concerned about intelligence work from the beginning. Now Tingyu Tower has been spread over several dynasties, and it is easy to collect intelligence.

The more the rulers pay attention to the intelligence of the major dynasties, the smarter they are and not so easy to fool.

What's more, after the Qianhai Chamber of Commerce and Tingyulou cooperated, Tingyulou may have found out a lot of internal information about Dawu through the Qianhai Chamber of Commerce. The purpose of their mission to the North Kingdom was probably already known to the King of Bei. At this time, it is basically impossible to deceive the Northern King into civil war with the Daxia court.

The snipe and the clam compete for the fisherman's profit. It is not easy for Dawu to become a fisherman.

Now we can only settle for the next best thing, which is to reach some cooperation with the Northern Kingdom, and then stimulate the Great Xia court to send troops to the Northern Kingdom.

Then Wu Yunwan said with a smile: "I heard that King Bei and Dayue Dynasty signed a business cooperation agreement, which strengthened the trade between the two parties. I think you should pay great attention to business development when you come to King Bei. In my opinion, Dawu should also have What the Northern Kingdom needs, I wonder if Dawu can sign a business cooperation agreement with the Northern Kingdom like Dayue?"

After hearing Wu Yunwan's words, Lu Chen knew that Wu Yunwan had not given up yet and still wanted to mess up Daxia, but he didn't care at all.

Dawu wants to sign a business cooperation agreement with them, so just sign it. For the current Northern Kingdom, the import of some resources is still too single.

Although Northland has now added Northland to its own map, they have not started to exploit the resources owned by Northland on a large scale. They have not yet found some ore resources and have no idea where to mine them. Now they still have to rely on trade transactions. .

Dawu has a vast territory and numerous resources. Since Dawu is willing to conduct trade cooperation with the Northern Kingdom, it is definitely a good thing for the Northern Kingdom.

In this way, the Northern Kingdom would not be so dependent on Daxia's resources.

Of course, this is just a transitional period in the North, and it won't last long.

Lu Chen smiled and said at this time: "Of course there is no problem, but the eldest princess has only arrived in the North Kingdom today. It is not appropriate to discuss too many political affairs today. Let's leave the business cooperation letter to tomorrow."

Just as Wu Yunwan was about to say something, Lu Chen continued: "I heard that Dawu was able to quell the civil strife in the dynasty because of the eldest princess. It is Dawu's great fortune to have a woman like the eldest princess who can be both literary and military! "

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Wu Yunwan smiled slightly, and then said: "King Bei is joking, I was able to put down the rebellion in the southeast of Dawu only because the soldiers fought hard for Dawu and the rebels. How can I compete with the soldiers?" achievement.

Lu Chen said with a smile: "The eldest princess is humble. No matter how good the soldiers are, they need excellent commanders and command to be able to exert their combat effectiveness. I heard that before the eldest princess led the troops, there were two princes in Dawu who led Dawu's elite troops. Encircling and suppressing the rebels, the two princes not only failed to destroy the rebels, but instead caused Dawu to lose many elite soldiers."

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Wu Ming's face turned dark instantly next to Wu Yunwan.

One of the two princes Lu Chen mentioned was Wu Ming himself, which made Wu Ming feel that Lu Chen was trying to blame him.

Although he felt very unhappy, considering that their mission to the North Kingdom was for a purpose, Wu Ming had no choice but to endure it no matter how uncomfortable he felt.

At this time, Wu Yunwan was also aware of Lu Chen's intention. She didn't believe that Lu Chen didn't know that Wu Ming was one of the two princes. However, Lu Chen brought up the matter at this time, and even used it to She is a woman compared to Wu Ming.

Obviously, Lu Chen was trying to drive a wedge between her and Wu Ming.

In order to prevent Lu Chen from continuing to sow discord, Wu Yunwan said quickly: "By the way, there is something I forgot to tell King Bei. I heard that King Bei likes beautiful women, so when I came to the North this time, I specially prepared something for King Bei. A great gift.”

Hearing this, Lu Chen smiled and said, "Oh? Is the gift that the eldest princess prepared for me a beautiful woman?"

Wu Yunwan smiled slightly, and then said: "Of course there is not just one, but ten stunning dancers. I wonder if we can let them in?"

Lu Chen said: "Of course."

After hearing this, Wu Yunwan then said to the members of the mission next to her: "Go and bring them in."

After a while, the members of the mission next to Wu Yunwan entered the hall with ten stunning dancers.

Wu Yunwan asked: "What does King Bei think of them?"

Lu Chen did not answer immediately. He swept his eyes around the girls and used the system to identify their ratings. He found that basically the ratings were above eighty, but did not reach ninety. The highest one was only Eighty-nine, it fails to meet the standards specified by the system.

These dancers are beautiful, but they don't have much effect on him. Lu Chen then said with a smile: "These dancers are all beautiful, but..."

Having said this, Lu Chen paused for a moment, and then continued: "It's just that they are not the type that I like. Thank you to the eldest princess for your kindness."

Seeing that Lu Chen refused directly, Wu Yunwan was slightly stunned. She thought that even if Lu Chen didn't like these dancers, he would accept them because they were gifts from the Dawu Mission. She didn't expect that Lu Chen actually refused.

However, this also shows that Lu Chen is indeed different from the rumors. He is not a lecherous person. If you think about it, if he is really a lecherous person, how could he break through to the grand master realm at this age.

Just when Wu Yunwan was thinking this, Lu Chen said, "I like one of your Dawu women."

Hearing this, Wu Yunwan came back to her senses and asked with a smile: "I wonder who this woman is, and she can be favored by King Bei. When I return to Dawu, I will definitely send that woman to Prince Bei's Mansion. "

Lu Chen sighed and looked very sad, "I once met the daughter of the president of the Qian Family Chamber of Commerce. I fell in love with Miss Qian at first sight. It's a pity that the beauty is unlucky. I want to find a way to make her After the Qian family moved to the North, they heard from President Qian that his daughter had passed away."

As soon as these words came out, Pei Hong, who was sitting behind Wu Yunwan, instantly clenched the sword in his hand, and Wu Yunwan's eyebrows also slightly raised.

Although she had already guessed that Lu Chen was the owner of Tingyu Tower when she entered the city, she did not expect that Lu Chen would actually talk about it at this time, and also said that he fell in love with her at first sight.

Could it be that King Bei was teasing her?

Wu Yunwan laughed in her heart,

A young man of seventeen or eighteen years old actually teased her, a eldest sister in her thirties.

Ha, that's interesting.

Then Wu Yunwan said: "King Bei, please express your condolences. There are countless beautiful women in the world. With your ability, King Bei, you can get any kind of beautiful woman. There is no need to mourn for a beauty who has passed away."

Lu Chen took a sip of wine and said, "The eldest princess is saying that this king is too pretentious."

"But having said that, I discovered that the eldest princess looks very similar to Miss Qian."

Wu Yunwan was not very touched in her heart. She said calmly: "Perhaps King Bei misses Miss Qian too much and has an illusion."

Lu Chen smiled and then said: "Okay, this is the first time the eldest princess has come to the North Country. Let's not talk about these sad things. Let's continue drinking and tasting delicious food."

Having said this, Lu Chen said to the piano player and dancer in the hall: "Keep playing music, keep dancing."

The luncheon finally lasted for about an hour, which was an extremely long hour for Pei Hong. He was always worried that King Bei would do something detrimental to Wu Yunwan.

Wu Yunwan also felt that Lu Chen's eyes were staring at her from time to time, especially after Lu Chen said that he fell in love with Miss Qian at first sight, Lu Chen's eyes seemed to be scanning her body all the time.

Wu Yunwan suspected that she was too nervous and had an illusion. After the luncheon, Wu Yunwan couldn't help laughing at herself. It was really ridiculous that she would be so nervous because of a word from a seventeen or eighteen-year-old man.

Lu Chen was obviously reminding her that he already knew that Qianhai Chamber of Commerce was hers, and asked her not to try to play tricks. As for the words "falling in love with Miss Qian at first sight", it was obviously false.

After the luncheon.

The Northern Palace arranged the members of the Dawu Mission in a residence in the north city of Yancheng, and they would all live here in the next few days.

At this time, Wu Yunwan was sitting in the pavilion in the courtyard, seeming to be thinking about something. At this time, Pei Hong said to the side: "Your Highness, I'm afraid the Qian family can no longer be trusted."

Hearing Pei Hong's words, Wu Yunwan thought for a moment, and then said: "Not necessarily."

"Although King Bei knew that Qian Dahai was from the palace from the beginning, he still dared to use Qian Dahai, which proved that King Bei was very confident in himself. Now Qian Dahai has moved the Qian family to the North, and it seems that he has completely surrendered to him. Beiguo, this may seem to the King of the North that he has poached Qian Dahai from my hands."

"Of course, whether the Qian family can be trusted depends on what kind of information they can provide us."

"Now that Qian Dahai's two sons are still in the Qianhai Chamber of Commerce, Qian Dahai can only listen to me. I believe that he will not dare to betray me. It depends on whether the King of Bei will let Qian Dahai have access to the secrets of the North. "

In Wu Yunwan's view, Qian Dahai's two sons are still in his hands, and his two sons have secretly expressed their allegiance to him. Qian Dahai will not betray easily. The key is to look at the attitude of King Bei. Let’s see if King Bei really trusts Qian Dahai.

If King Bei really trusts Qian Dahai, then the Qian family can continue to play a role. If King Bei doesn't trust Qian Dahai, then the Qian family can still help Qian Hai Chamber of Commerce run various businesses in Beiguo.

In other words, for Wu Yunwan, no matter whether Qian Dahai can obtain more information from Beiwang Mansion, Qian Dahai and the Qian family are of great use to her, and she has no plans to give up Qian Dahai yet. Home.

After hearing Wu Yunwan's words, Pei Hong also realized that the Qian family was still useful to Wu Yunwan, so he stopped mentioning the Qian family's affairs. At this time, he thought of what the other King Bei said at the luncheon. Then he reminded: "Your Highness, I saw King Bei staring at you many times at the luncheon. In addition, he said that he fell in love with Miss Qian at first sight. I think he is really coveting your beauty. It’s better for us to guard against him.”

The reputation of the Northern King was not very good to begin with. People said that he was a womanizer. Even the people of the Northern Kingdom thought that the Northern King was more romantic.

Wu Yunwan smiled lightly, and then said: "Pei Gong is worrying too much. What he said at the luncheon was just to remind me that he already knew that Qian Hai Chamber of Commerce belongs to me, and to warn me not to use Qian Hai. The Chamber of Commerce is just causing chaos in the North Country."

Pei Hong did not continue to speak, he fell into silence.

At first, Pei Hong thought that Lu Chen's words were just to warn them not to use the Qianhai Chamber of Commerce to cause destruction in the North Kingdom. However, as a person who has experienced this, he always felt that there was something wrong with the way Lu Chen looked at Wu Yunwan.

Maybe he was overthinking it.

Wu Yunwan said at this time: "What we should be most careful about now is that King Bei takes this opportunity to sow discord between me and the second prince."

Wu Yunwan saw it at the luncheon. Lu Chen had been belittling Wu Ming in various ways. It was obvious that he was sowing discord and trying to make Wu Ming hate her.

As a woman, she not only led this visit, but Wu Ming, as a fellow traveler, was also compared in various ways. Wu Ming must be very unhappy now.

Pei Hong reminded: "In order to prevent His Highness the Second Prince from having a grudge against you, I think it would be better for you to have a few words with His Highness the Second Prince to prevent him from stumbling upon you when we negotiate a business cooperation agreement with the Northern Kingdom. "

Wu Yunwan said: "There are people watching around him, so he won't bother me just because of this matter, unless..."

Before Wu Yunwan could finish her words, a soldier from the mission hurriedly entered the courtyard, "Eldest Princess, I'm sorry, the Second Prince went to the Prince's Mansion to meet with the Prince."

Hearing this, Wu Yunwan's face instantly darkened, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and then she asked: "Did the old man next to him follow him?"

The soldier replied: "We went together too."

Wu Yunwan pondered for a moment, and then said: "It seems that my father still doesn't want me to accumulate too many achievements."

"Forget it, since the old man is also by Wu Ming's side, he probably won't do anything detrimental to Da Wu."

Wu Yunwan did not know the old man next to Wu Ming, but she found out through various channels that the old man was the grand master sent by her father to protect Wu Ming.

Of course, while protecting him, he was also controlling Wu Ming to prevent Wu Ming from doing anything outrageous.

Pei Hong said at this time: "His Royal Highness the Second Prince is a little too anxious."

They had just arrived in Yancheng today, and the luncheon had just ended. As a result, Wu Ming ran to find King Bei. What else could Wu Ming do if he went to find King Bei? Obviously he went to see King Bei to discuss the business cooperation letter, and he wanted to take credit.

Going to find King Bei in such a hurry will give people the feeling that they are begging Bei Kingdom to sign a business cooperation agreement.

at the same time.

North Prince's Mansion, inside the pavilion in the outer courtyard.

Wu Ming and Lu Chen were sitting opposite each other.

Lu Chen poured a cup of tea for Wu Ming, and then said with a smile: "I didn't expect Wu Ming to come to see me so soon. Wu Ming came to see me for the business cooperation letter, right?"

Wu Ming said: "It seems that the Northern King has long expected that I will come."

Lu Chen picked up the tea cup on the stone table, took a sip of tea, and then said: "Dawu has such a strong eldest princess, and you younger brothers will have a hard time."

Wu Ming said: "King Bei seems to know Da Wu's situation very well?"

Lu Chen said: "I can't say that I understand him very well, I can only say that I know a little bit."

Having said this, Lu Chen asked: "Tell me, how does His Highness Wu Ming want me to help you?"

Wu Ming was stunned when he heard Lu Chen's question.

help?

King Bei said he wanted to help him?

There is no free lunch in the world. Although he does not have as strong a personal ability as Wu Yunwan, he is not a fool either.

Wu Ming said: "King Bei, please tell me what you want first."

Lu Chen said: "To be honest, I don't have many requirements. It's just that your eldest princess has brought a lot of trouble to me, so I can't stand her."

Speaking of this, Lu Chen asked: "Your Highness Wu Ming should know who the Qianhai Chamber of Commerce belongs to, right?"

Wu Ming replied: "This is natural."

Lu Chen continued: "Princess Dawu asked the Qian Hai Chamber of Commerce to infiltrate the Northern Kingdom and unscrupulously inquire about the secrets of the Northern Kingdom, which made me feel a little uncomfortable."

Wu Ming said: "Why do I feel that you think she is a difficult woman to deal with, so you want to cooperate with me?"

Lu Chen smiled and then said: "Your Highness Wu Ming can also think so. Compared with a woman who is proficient in calculations, I prefer to deal with honest people like Your Highness Wu Ming."

Lu Chen's words instantly made Wu Ming feel insulted, but Wu Ming didn't care. Since the North King was afraid of Wu Yunwan, it was a good thing for him. He could take advantage of this to fight with the North King. Reach cooperation and then seize the credit for this mission to the North.

Lu Chen continued: "This business cooperation book will be signed by His Highness Wu Ming. I wonder what Wu Ming thinks?"

Wu Ming was startled. If he could sign the business cooperation letter, then the results of this mission would be his.

Wu Ming immediately said: "Thank you very much, King Bei."

I will update once every few days, take a short break, and wait for the update on the 3rd depending on the situation. In addition, my first update also has 5,000 words, which is more than those authors who have two updates. I am not lazy.
