After Lu Chen waited in the pavilion for a while, a white-haired old man in coarse cloth clothes followed the little maid into the courtyard.

Seeing the white-haired old man in front of him, Lu Chen was stunned for a moment.

This old man looked like an ordinary person, not like a person with any special status.

However, Lu Chen is not a fool, since Bai Qingqing specially asked the maid to tell the person he wanted to see, it proves that this old man is definitely not as simple as it seems.

Lu Chen then used the system to identify it.

[Name: Situ Ce]

[Identity: National teacher of the Great Xia Dynasty, one of the pillars of the Great Xia Dynasty, this time I went to Beijun, on the one hand, to test the North King, and on the other hand, to pass the word for the Xia Emperor. 】

[Strength: Grand Master]

[Loyalty: 50]

Seeing the introduction of the system, Lu Chen frowned.

National teacher?

As one of the national pillars, the national teacher didn't stay in the capital well, and went to Beijun to wander around.

At this time, Situ Ce said to Lu Chen: "The grass people see the prince, the prince is a thousand years old, a thousand years old!" ”

Hearing this, Lu Chen laughed, and then said, "National Teacher, what are you doing when you come to Beijun to pretend to be an ordinary person?" You don't think this king doesn't recognize you, do you? ”

Seeing that Lu Chen actually recognized himself at a glance, Situ Ce was slightly surprised.

The prince of Emperor Xia, except for the eldest prince who has seen him, the other princes have never seen him, and it stands to reason that the king of the north does not know that he is the national teacher.

Situ Ce smiled, and then asked, "How did the prince recognize the old man?" ”

Lu Chen said lightly: "Although you have hidden your aura, but in front of a grandmaster of this king, you can still be neither humble nor arrogant, and you will also make this king feel threatened, I am afraid that there is only you as a great grandmaster in the entire Great Xia." ”

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Situ Ce was stunned again.

Master!

The North King turned out to be already a grandmaster!

How is this possible?

He remembered that when the North King left the capital, the North King didn't even have internal strength in his body, and he was just an ordinary person.

Practicing martial arts is different from playing with power, a person playing with power can also hide what he thinks in his heart, but practicing martial arts is different, whether he has internal force in his body, whether he has practiced martial arts, it is easy to be seen.

Especially in front of people with a higher realm than themselves, it is difficult for a martial artist with a lower realm to hide his strength.

Just when Situ Ce wondered if he had heard it wrong, he felt the martial aura on Lu Chen's body.

The martial aura on Lu Chen's body is very weak, if it is an ordinary person, or an existence in the same realm as Lu Chen, he will not be able to perceive Lu Chen's realm.

But Situ Ce is different, Situ Ce is a great grandmaster, even if Lu Chen hides his breath, hides his strength, and tries to hide the internal force in his body, he will still be detected by Situ Ce.

This is why Lu Chen took the initiative to blow himself up as soon as he came up, he had nothing to hide in front of Situ Ce, the great grandmaster, and he had no way to hide his strength in front of the great grandmaster for the time being.

Situ Ce quickly came back to his senses, and he praised and said: "It is worthy of being the Northern King who can defeat the 300,000 army of the barbarians, and he has already broken through to the Grandmaster Realm at the age of seventeen, and it seems that it will not be long before Great Xia will have a powerhouse of the Heavenly and Human Realm." ”

An hour ago, Situ Ce was still at the gate of the city doubting whether the Northern King's own strength could support the Northern King's ambitions, of course, the strength he had in mind referred to the military strength of the entire Northern County, and also included the Northern King's own strength.

Now that he learned that the Northern King was already in the Grandmaster realm, Situ Ce instantly understood that the confidence from the Northern King had divided the entire Northern Land into his personal fiefdom.

A seventeen-year-old grandmaster, this is rare in the world, or there is no one at all, at least on the surface, there is no martial artist who became a grandmaster before the age of twenty.

He became a grandmaster at the age of seventeen, which means that the Northern King has an extremely terrifying talent for martial arts, according to the speed of his realm ascension, maybe he may become a great grandmaster before the age of twenty-five, and he has great potential to become a powerhouse in the realm of heaven and man in the future.

This is even more terrifying than Emperor Xia's martial arts talent, Situ Ce always thought that Emperor Xia was the most talented martial artist he had ever seen, but he didn't expect that Emperor Xia's son was even more talented than Emperor Xia.

You must know that when you are in the capital, everyone doesn't know that the Northern King knows martial arts.

If Beiwang didn't practice martial arts when he was in the capital, but only started to get in touch with martial arts when he arrived in Beijun, then Beiwang can be said to be the most talented martial artist in the entire martial arts world for thousands of years.

It is no longer possible to describe him as a "genius".

It's a demon!

After hearing Situ Ce's words, Lu Chen said with a smile: "This king doesn't think that the national teacher has gone all the way to Beijun, just to praise this king for a few words. ”

"If there is anything going on with the national teacher, let's just say it."

Hearing this, Situ Ce immediately said: "Before getting down to business, the old man wants to ask the prince a question, I don't know how the prince thinks of today?" ”

Hearing this question, Lu Chen instantly reacted, Situ Ce was testing himself.

Situ Ce is a national teacher and the pillar of Great Xia, even Emperor Xia respects him very much, and he does have this qualification to test any prince in the school.

Lu Chen then asked rhetorically: "Does the world that the national teacher refers to in Great Xia, or does it mean the world that includes other dynasties?" ”

Hearing Lu Chen's question, Situ Ce's brain was stunned.

Obviously, all he wanted to ask was Da Xia.

Situ Ce didn't expect that anyone would jump out of his preset scope, and the "world" that people often refer to Bactria and will not refer to other dynasties or countries.

After a while, Situ Ce continued to ask, "Does the prince think that all the dynasties and countries in the world add up to the world? ”

Hearing Situ Ce's question, Lu Chen was a little confused, why do the people of Great Xia think that the world only refers to "Great Xia"?

Ordinary people just think so, but Situ Ce is the national teacher of Great Xia, and obviously they also know that there are many dynasties and countries outside Great Xia.

Lu Chen then said: "The National Teacher will ask this question, which makes this king a little difficult to understand, aren't the other dynasties and Great Xia in the same world, under the same sky?" Naturally, the world should include all dynasties and nations. ”

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Situ Ce smiled, and he suddenly saluted Lu Chen and said, "The old man has been taught." ”

This......

Lu Chen was stunned for a moment.

Is this teachable?

He just explained what he thought was the world.

Situ Ce continued: "The height of the prince's thinking has surpassed the old man by too much. ”

The world in the eyes of the Northern King is not Great Xia, but the whole world.

The ambition of the North King is far greater than he imagined!

Emperor Xia back then did not have such ambitions.

Lu Chen felt that Situ Ce's words were a little inexplicable, and he couldn't help but think that maybe it was because of Situ Ce's age, so what he said would make people feel a little incomprehensible.

At this time, Situ Ce continued to ask: "The old man wants to ask the prince another question, since the prince has such insight and martial arts talent, why didn't he choose to participate in the succession when he was in the capital, with the prince's knowledge and martial arts talent, it will not be too difficult to get the crown prince." ”

With Lu Chen's martial arts talent and his knowledge, as well as the Chu family behind him, it is indeed easy to get the position of the crown prince, and there is no need to go to a bitter cold place like Beijun to develop.

Hearing Situ Ce's words, Lu Chen asked with a smile: "Does the national teacher think that when a painter paints a painting, it is easier to achieve the effect he wants by painting on a blank piece of paper, or is it easier to make modifications on other people's paintings to achieve the effect he wants?" ”

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Situ Ce instantly understood what he meant, and then Situ Ce said: "I see, no wonder Your Majesty asked the prince to come to Beijun, and you agreed without hesitation." ”

Today's Great Xia is controlled by the major families, and any reforms and orders of the Xia Emperor will be hindered by the family, but Beijun is different, Beijun is too poor, there are no big families, at most there are only some small families, and the decrees of the Northern King can be unimpeded in Beijun.

The king of the north can toss as much as he wants in the north county, which is like painting on a blank piece of paper, and he can draw as much as he wants.

Lu Chen said: "What you said is not accurate enough, whether this king will come to Beijun or not is not something that this king can decide, but His Majesty decides." ”

Situ Ce said: "What the prince said is true. ”

Lu Chen continued: "Okay, let's stop here, the national teacher came to find this king, I think it is also your majesty's intention, the national teacher still directly tell this king, what will your majesty gave to this king." ”

Situ Ce said: "Your Majesty asked the old man to tell the prince that he intends to make the prince the crown prince, and the prince should encourage him not to live up to His Majesty's expectations." ”

Hearing Situ Ce's words, Lu Chen laughed, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to eat such a big cake.

Although he thought so in his heart, Lu Chen didn't say it in front of Situ Ce, but said: "Thank you for coming to Beijun to convey my father's words, and please go back and tell my father, I will definitely work hard, and I will definitely not disappoint his expectations." ”

Situ Ce said with a smile on his face: "Okay, the old man must tell His Majesty for the prince." ”

"But before the old man leaves Beijun, the old man wants to say something from the heart to the prince."

Lu Chen said: "National teacher, please speak." ”

Situ Ce said: "It is indeed not easy to achieve the desired effect by painting on other people's paintings, but if someone is willing to help the prince change to a larger blank paper, I hope that the prince has enough patience to wait, and I think that the prince's pen will be able to outline the world in his heart on that blank paper more easily." ”

Hearing Situ Ce's vague reminder, Lu Chen glanced at Situ Ce's loyalty and found that his loyalty had actually reached eighty-five.

It's kind of outrageous.

After just a few words, a great grandmaster's loyalty to himself has actually increased so much.

Lu Chen then said: "Thank you for the reminder of the national teacher, this king must keep it in mind." ”

Originally, Situ Ce wanted to find out something about those big pits, but Situ Ce finally gave up.

After listening to Lu Chen's answer, it didn't matter what caused those big pits.
