Chapter 279 Sooner or later she will become his woman

Wu Ming talked with Lu Chen for half an hour at Beiwang Mansion, and roughly discussed the contents of the business cooperation letter.

After Wu Ming left Beiwang Mansion, he was still extremely excited. He felt much more comfortable as he sat in the carriage.

At this time, he heard the words Lu Chen said before. He couldn't help but clenched his fists, and then said to himself: "How dare a mere vassal king dare to humiliate me like this? When I get on that Position, the first one to be wiped out is the North Country.”

Wu Ming also didn't expect that Lu Chen would actually tell Beiguo's fear of Wu Yunwan, and in front of him.

The Bei Kingdom was afraid of Wu Yunwan, so they chose to cooperate with him, the second prince. Doesn't this mean that in the eyes of the Bei Kingdom, the second prince himself was no threat at all?

When he thought of King Bei praising him for being an honest person, Wu Ming felt a ball of anger burning crazily in his heart.

What a bullshit honest man, King Bei just wants to say that Wu Ming is a fool! I really thought he couldn't hear it!

The more Wu Ming thought about it, the angrier he became, and the joy he felt just now gradually disappeared. He continued to talk to himself: "Today's humiliation, I will definitely repay in every possible way in the future!"

…

The next morning, Lu Chen sent someone to tell Wu Yunwan that they wanted Wu Ming to sign the business cooperation agreement this time.

Wu Yunwan instantly guessed Lu Chen's purpose for doing this. Lu Chen made it clear that he wanted to sow discord between her and Wu Ming.

Wu Yunwan felt that this was not going to work, so she went directly to Wu Ming and planned to have a good chat with him to prevent Wu Ming from being taken advantage of by Lu Chen.

Hearing that Wu Yunwan was looking for him, Wu Ming basically guessed what was going on, but he still went to Wu Yunwan's yard.

After entering the courtyard, Wu Ming asked: "I wonder what Sister Huang wants to see me for?"

Although the two of them do not have the same mother, Wu Ming still behaves relatively modestly in front of the eldest princess Wu Yunwan, and even calls himself "I" instead of "my king".

Wu Yunwan said calmly: "Did you meet with King Bei alone yesterday?"

Wu Ming smiled and replied: "Sure enough, I can't hide anything from Sister Huang."

Wu Yunwan said: "King Bei just sent someone to tell me that he wants you to sign this business cooperation agreement by name."

Wu Ming showed a surprised expression, "Is this happening?"

Wu Yunwan continued: "Third brother, you should understand that the reason why King Bei did this is to sow discord between you and me, so as to seek more benefits. If you agree to it in order to sign the business cooperation letter, If you fail to meet some of his conditions, it would be tantamount to betraying Dawu."

Faced with Wu Yunwan's warning, Wu Ming didn't take it to heart. He said with a smile: "Sister Huang, you don't have to scare me, and I am the prince of Dawu. What I should do and what I should not do, I I still have confidence in my heart, my father has sent people around me to monitor my every move, how could I possibly betray Dawu."

"The reason why King Bei asked me to sign the business cooperation letter, doesn't Sister Huang think it's because I'm a man?"

Wu Ming's words were very direct. What he meant was that Wu Yunwan was a woman and was not qualified to inherit the throne. To sign a certain contract with a country, of course, one must choose someone who is qualified to inherit the throne.

Wu Yunwan was not angry when she heard Wu Ming's words. She smiled and said: "It seems that I misunderstood the third brother. As long as the third brother did not betray Da Wu."

Wu Ming said at this time: "If Sister Huang has nothing else to do, I will leave first. Yancheng is very prosperous, and I want to visit Yancheng."

Wu Yunwan said: "Okay."

Wu Ming then turned and left.

Seeing his leaving figure, Pei Hong next to Wu Yunwan said: "Perhaps King Bei did not put any additional conditions."

Wu Yunwan said: "For the Northern King, no matter how many favorable conditions are obtained in the business cooperation agreement, it is not as profitable as disrupting the entire Dawu Dynasty."

Pei Hong said: "Your Highness, are you planning to give all the credit for your mission to the North to His Highness the Second Prince?"

Wu Yunwan pondered for a moment, and then said: "Send someone to tell King Bei that I want to talk to him alone."

Although Wu Yunwan knew that Lu Chen wanted to drive a wedge between Wu Ming and her, she had to talk to Lu Chen in order to prevent the diplomatic results from this mission to the North from falling into Wu Ming's hands.

King Bei likes to sow discord, so let him sow discord. Anyway, if she, a woman, wants to ascend to the supreme position, it will not be easy for the Chen family. When the time comes, not to mention Wu Ming, the other princes of Dawu will also They are her enemies on the way forward.

She and her brothers would fight sooner or later, and there was no need for Lu Chen to sow discord.

As for the diplomatic achievements of this mission to the North, they certainly cannot be given to Wu Ming.

North Palace.

study.

Lu Chen was processing official documents when Wu Yuan came in and said, "Your Majesty, Xuanyuan Chaoge has arrived in Yancheng."

After hearing Wu Yuan's words, the corners of Lu Chen's mouth raised slightly, he finally came, and now he didn't have to worry about Xuanyue Palace coming to trouble him.

Wu Yuan continued to ask: "Does the prince want to see him? He has now moved into the mansion you arranged for him."

Lu Chen said: "Let him come to the palace. It just so happens that I have some questions that I want to ask him."

"Yes, I will send someone to inform him now."

Then Wu Yuan turned around and left the study.

After a while, Wu Yuan brought Xuanyuan Chaoge to Lu Chen's study.

Xuanyuan Chaoge immediately saluted and said: "Old minister, I pay my respects to the king!"

Lu Chen said with a smile: "Master Xuanyuan City, you don't have to be polite."

Lu Chen then asked directly: "Master Xuanyuan City, I am a little curious, how did you break through to the heavenly realm?"

"I remember that in order to break through to the realm of gods and humans, you still need to pass the test of this world. If you fail to pass the test of this world, you will not be able to break through.

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Xuanyuan Chaoge was stunned for a moment, and then he said: "The test of the world? Your Majesty is right to say that, but we usually call this Hedao."

"Although people all follow the martial arts path, there are many branches on the martial arts path. Everyone has his own path. Only by understanding his own path can he break through to the realm of heaven and humanity."

"After the king came to Dayu City for inspection, the old minister's heart knots for many years finally disappeared, and the old minister also understood his own Tao, so the old minister successfully merged with the Tao and reached the realm of the unity of nature and man."

Hearing Xuanyuan Chaoge's words, Lu Chen thought that Xuanyuan Chaoge's ability to break through to the heaven-human realm was indeed related to him.

Lu Chen then said: "There is a minister in Yancheng who is a great master in the ultimate realm. He suddenly caused a vision of heaven and earth some time ago, but he did not successfully merge with the Tao. Instead, he only realized the method that could allow him to break through to the heaven and human realm. ,How is this going?"

"Since he already knows how to break through to the Heavenly Realm, it stands to reason that he has understood his own way, so why hasn't he been able to break through to the Heavenly Realm?"

Xuanyuan Chaoge said: "The king should be talking about Zhuge Chongguang! I have also heard about him."

Xuanyuan Chaoge heard about Zhuge Chongguang's deeds when he was still in Dayucheng. Nowadays, the exchanges between Dayucheng and Yancheng are very frequent. The caravans from Dayucheng go in and out of Yancheng almost every day, so what happened in Yancheng Xuanyuan Chaoge soon knew what was going on.

At first, he thought that a strong man in the Heavenly Realm came out of Yancheng, but when he entered the city just now, he did not sense the so-called strongman in the Heavenly Realm. He also quickly realized that this was just the King of the North. Layout.

Lu Chen nodded and said, "Well, it's him."

Xuanyuan Chaoge continued: "His ability to cause visions of heaven and earth proves that he is not far from the union of the Tao. The reason why he cannot achieve the unity of heaven and man may be because he does not understand the Tao he pursues enough."

"When the old minister learned that the king was in the North Kingdom, it also triggered a strange phenomenon in the world. At that time, a voice told the old minister that if you want to break through the realm of heaven and man, you must run Dayu City well."

After hearing Xuanyuan Chaoge's words, Lu Chen thought about it and felt that it was a bit too mysterious.

Lu Chen finally understood that from the first-level warrior to the grand master realm, as long as the skill continues to accumulate, one can continue to break through the realm.

But when the great master reaches the realm of gods and humans, the improvement of skills is useless. Breakthrough in this realm must rely on consciousness.

How to achieve a breakthrough is as mysterious as it is mysterious. Everyone is different anyway.

At first, he and Zhuge Chongguang thought that in order to break through to the realm of gods and humans, they needed to be recognized by the world. Now that they think about it, this seems to be their own idea.

Lu Chen rubbed his temples and stopped thinking.

Forget it, it's useless to think about it now. Anyway, he just needs to know that it's not that easy to break through the realm of heaven and human beings.

Lu Chen then said: "I will go back and ask Grand Scholar Zhuge to come to your place to study. You can tell him about your experience of breaking through to the realm of heaven and humans, and see if he can understand anything."

Xuanyuan Chaoge said: "Yes, Your Majesty."

At this time, Xuanyuan Chaoge said: "Your Majesty, what position does that veteran hold in Yancheng?"

Although people like Xuanyuan Chaoge have already broken through to the heavenly realm and no longer have to work, Xuanyuan Chaoge is the lord of a city after all and has long been accustomed to the life of management. Now he is suddenly free. , but he couldn't stay any longer.

Hearing Xuanyuan Chaoge's words, Lu Chen pondered for a moment, and then said: "I wanted you to be a great scholar at first, but after thinking about it, I thought it was not appropriate to expose your existence now, so I can only wrong you. For a while, you will be in charge of the firearms manufacturing in the North, including the manufacturing of steam engines and trains."

Before Zhuge Chongguang broke through to the realm of heaven and man, Xuanyuan Chaoge was a trump card. The reason why the trump card was a trump card was that it was the last card to be played. Naturally, Xuanyuan Chaoge could not be exposed to outsiders so quickly. middle.

Xuanyuan Chaoge immediately said: "I am not wronged. It is an honor for me to be needed by the king."

At this moment, a servant of the prince's palace said at the door of the study: "Your Majesty, Princess Dawu sent someone to deliver a letter."

Lu Chen immediately said: "Bring it in."

Then the maid at the door delivered Wu Yunwan's letter to Lu Chen. Lu Chen opened the letter, glanced at it, smiled, and then said to the servant at the door: "Ask the person who sent the letter to go back and tell them about the eldest princess. I will be free at the end of today."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

…

afternoon.

In the pavilion in the outer courtyard of the North Prince's Mansion, Wu Yunwan, wearing a purple dress, sat on the stone bench in the pavilion, looking at Lu Chen opposite the stone table, and then smiled, "My third brother should have been sitting there yesterday. In the position where I sit now, right?"

Lu Chen said with a smile: "Unfortunately, the eldest princess guessed wrong. He is sitting on the stone bench to your right."

Lu Chen then asked: "I wonder why the eldest princess asked me to meet with you alone?"

Wu Yunwan said: "The King of the North sent people to the place where I live, and asked my brother to sign the business cooperation letter. Now he comes to ask me why I am here? Isn't this asking knowingly?"

Lu Chen smiled faintly, and then said: "His Royal Highness Wu Ming is the second prince of Dawu, and he is the person qualified to inherit the throne of Dawu. There should be no problem if I ask him to sign, right?"

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Wu Yunwan showed no expression on her face. She naturally heard that Lu Chen was implying that she was just a woman and not qualified to inherit the throne.

Wu Yunwan then said: "King Bei really thinks that Dawu's future emperor can only be a man? Didn't Dayue also have a queen? Since Dayue has one, why can't Dawu have another one?"

Lu Chen said: "I don't care whether the emperor of Dawu is a man or a woman. Since the eldest princess wants to sign the business cooperation letter, she must show her sincerity."

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Wu Yunwan smiled slightly, and then said, "I wonder what kind of sincerity King Bei wants?"

Lu Chen smiled, then picked up the tea cup on the stone table, took a sip of tea, and then said slowly: "Eldest Princess, do you still remember the eldest daughter of the Qian family that I mentioned at yesterday's luncheon?"

Hearing this, Wu Yunwan frowned slightly. She didn't know what Lu Chen was doing to mention the eldest daughter of the Qian family at this time. It was already this time. What else could Lu Chen pretend to be? Wasn't the so-called eldest daughter of the Qian family what she was doing last time? A false identity created by Yancheng.

Wu Yunwan immediately said: "King Bei, it's already this time, why don't we tell you straight to the point?"

Lu Chen smiled faintly, and then continued: "Although the Qian family told me that Miss Qian has passed away, through some gossip, I learned that Miss Qian is not actually dead. She is in Dawu Qian Maritime Chamber of Commerce. I am interested in Miss Qian fell in love with her at first sight and really liked her very much. I wonder if the eldest princess can give up her love and give Miss Qian to me as my concubine."

Wu Yunwan's face was a little serious. She stared into Lu Chen's eyes, trying to tell from Lu Chen's eyes that what he just said was just a joke.

However, Lu Chen was smiling and staring into her eyes. It didn't look like he was joking at all.

Wu Yunwan said: "It is said that King Bei is a romantic man and loves beauty. I didn't believe it at first. But after seeing him today, he is indeed well-deserved."

Wu Yunwan originally thought that Lu Chen could break through to the realm of Grand Master at this age, and he must not have much interest in beauty. However, he actually said such words to herself, so lightly, and looked like a playboy.

This guy actually has his mind set on himself, the great martial princess!

Lu Chen said: "My fair lady, a gentleman is fond of lust, and I am not lustful. I just like beautiful things."

Seeing that Lu Chen actually compared herself to a "thing", her impression of Lu Chen became even worse.

Wu Yunwan then said: "You should know that it is impossible for Miss Qian to marry you. Please ask King Bei to change the conditions."

"The eldest princess has collected a lot of information about me through the Qianhai Chamber of Commerce. It should be very clear that my only hobby is women. No matter what conditions the eldest princess puts forward, in my eyes, Miss Qian is not more valuable."

Hearing these words, Wu Yunwan felt vaguely angry in her heart, and a trace of blush appeared on her jade cheeks.

This young man of seventeen or eighteen years old actually really had an idea for her?

Wu Yunwan then said: "Miss Qian is already in her thirties and is not suitable for King Bei."

Lu Chen said: "Several of my women are already in their thirties, and one is even pregnant with my child. What I like most are mature women in their thirties like Miss Qian."

Wu Yunwan said coldly: "Please, King Bei, please stop joking."

Lu Chen said calmly at this time: "Since the eldest princess is not willing to give Miss Qian to the king, then let's forget about it. Please come back, eldest princess."

Seeing that Lu Chen issued an order to expel guests, Wu Yunwan thought to herself, could it be that Lu Chen never thought of negotiating terms with her from the beginning? So you said this on purpose?

She asked how could King Bei have taken a fancy to her beauty.

Wu Yunwan immediately stood up and left the pavilion. Looking at Wu Yunwan's graceful body, the corners of Lu Chen's mouth raised slightly.

The eldest princess of Dawu, right? Sooner or later she will become his woman.
