When Situ Ce came to the palace, he said a few words to Lu Chen, and then left directly, without staying too much in the North Palace.

Lu Chen was a little suspicious that Situ Ce's visit to Beijun was not just to bring a message to himself, he had read Situ Ce's information before, and it was also written that Situ Ce's purpose was to test him.

Just asked a few words, how can you test his bottom line?

Situ Ce was afraid that he had already come to Beijun, but he didn't know it, so he immediately asked Bai Qingqing to come to the courtyard.

Bai Qingqing is the deputy commander of the shadow guards, and after she returns to Yancheng, she will definitely receive information from other shadow guards to her, and ask her if she estimates how long Situ Ce has been in Beijun.

After a while, Bai Qingqing came to the courtyard, and after entering the courtyard, Bai Qingqing saluted and said, "The slave has seen the prince." ”

Lu Chen directly grabbed Bai Qingqing's jade hand. helped her up and said, "Xiaobai, do you know how long the national teacher has been in Beijun?" ”

Bai Qingqing replied expressionlessly: "About half a month." ”

Hearing this, Lu Chen thought that as he thought, Situ Ce had already come to Beijun.

However, this can't be blamed on Situ Ce, after all, he went to the Northland Grassland to negotiate with the Sirius King tribe for more than half a month.

Lu Chen continued to ask at this time: "He came to Yancheng, he should have brought you a new task." ”

Speaking of this, Lu Chen hugged Bai Qingqing's willow waist and stood behind her, his paws swimming around Bai Qingqing's body.

Being hugged by Lu Chen like this, Bai Qingqing's body couldn't help but tremble, and a red cloud appeared on her cold face.

"The national teacher asked the slave maid to investigate the evidence of the collusion between the Eighth Emperor and the family to the barbarians, and then send the collected evidence back to the capital."

Hearing this, Lu Chen smiled slightly, and sure enough, as he thought, after the threat of the barbarians in the north was over, his father was ready to make a move against the family.

Once the evidence of the collusion between the family and the barbarians is in hand, it is likely that his father will use this as an excuse to directly clean up the family's power in the court.

Situ Ce also hinted at himself just now, Situ Ce's intention is obvious, that is, he hopes that he will not rebel when Emperor Xia cleans up the family, and that position will most likely be his own in the future, so Situ Ce is reminding himself that cleaning up the family is also good for him.

In fact, there was no need for Situ Ce to deliberately remind him of this, and Lu Chen did not plan to rebel while Emperor Xia was dealing with the family.

The times create heroes, although the undercurrent of Daxia is surging, but it has not been completely chaotic, if he rebels at this time, he is looking for death.

And Lu Chen is not a fool, Lu Chen also hopes that Emperor Xia will quickly clean up the family, if the family does not clean up, when he controls the entire Great Xia one day, it will definitely be another mess.

In fact, every dynasty will give birth to some powerful families, but many families in Great Xia are not ordinary families, these families control the court, control a large amount of resources in Great Xia, and it can even be said that they control the lifeblood of Great Xia.

This kind of family is no longer comparable to those newly born big families.

The families that Emperor Xia wants to eliminate are those families that control the court, and they have nothing to do with some emerging big families, on the contrary, Emperor Xia will not only not suppress those new big families, but will also support them, so that they can become a force against the old families in the court.

After pondering for a while, Lu Chen decided not to think about the affairs of the capital for the time being, and to build the northern county first.

Now that there are 100,000 captives of the barbarians, and there is also a method of making cement, the construction of the straight road in North County can be started.

At this moment, a maid came to the courtyard, "Lord Wang, the two ladies have finished washing." ”

Hearing this, Lu Chen came back to his senses, and the two ladies pointed to by the maid were naturally Yelu Nanyan and Xiao Wenyao, who had just entered the Beiwang Mansion.

Lu Chen then let go of Bai Qingqing, and then patted her buttocks again, "Xiaobai, you go and get busy with your business." ”

Bai Qingqing suddenly felt a sense of shame, she couldn't understand why Lu Chen always liked to do something to her buttocks.

"Yes, lord."

Bai Qingqing's voice fell, and she hurriedly left.

At this time, Lu Chen said to the maid who reported: "Which courtyard are the two ladies in?" Take the king with him. ”

The maid immediately said, "Yes, prince, please come with the slave and maid." ”

Immediately afterwards, the maid took Lu Chen to Yelu Nanyan and Xiao Wenyao's courtyard.

The rooms of the two of them are in a courtyard, the courtyard is not big, there are only two rooms, and next door is the courtyard where Wang Qian lives.

At this time, Wang Qianci was sitting on the courtyard wall, unscrupulously looking at the two barbarian Meiji brought back by Lu Chen.

At this time, a man's figure appeared in the courtyard of Yelu Nanyan and Xiao Wenyao, and the two hurriedly got up from the stone bench in the pavilion.

"I've seen the prince."

Seeing Yelu Nanyan and Xiao Wenyao's latest dress, Lu Chen was slightly distracted.

They have all changed into Daxia's clothes now, and they have been carefully dressed by the maids, which is very different from before.

Yelu Nanyan is wearing a light gauze long skirt embellished with lotus flowers, and a belt is tied around the waist, which perfectly reflects her full and plump figure.

Lu Chen glanced at Xiao Wenyao again, Xiao Wenyao was wearing a white dress inside, dark green clothes on the outside, black and bright hair draped around her waist, and a hairpin tied on her head, which looked no different from Miss Daxia's deep boudoir.

Yelu Nanyan and Xiao Wenyao stood together, just like a mother with a daughter.

After coming back to his senses, Lu Chen smiled slightly, and then said: "I didn't expect the two of you to become more beautiful and moving after dressing up, it seems that this Wang Yanfu is not shallow." ”

Hearing this, a trace of blush appeared on the faces of Yelu Nanyan and Xiao Wenyao.

This was the first time they had completely dressed up in Great Xia, and they didn't expect that they would become more beautiful after changing into Great Xia's clothes.

When they were looking at the bronze mirror just now, they were also amazed by their own beauty for the first time.

In the past, they used to wear fur coats on their bodies, wrap themselves tightly, and then occasionally wear fur hats on their heads, which could not show their figures and beauty at all.

At this time, Wang Tian, who was sitting on the courtyard wall on the side, said with a smile: "Congratulations to the prince, you have gained two more beauties!" ”

Hearing this, Lu Chen turned his head to look at Wang Tianci who was sitting on the wall of the courtyard, and then said: "The lord of the Wang Mansion is not busy taking care of the affairs of the Yulou, and he came here to see what is lively." ”

Wang Tianci looked like a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water, "The prince is so fierce, and the slave family is so afraid." ”

"Didn't the slave family hear that the prince took in two female slaves, so I wanted to see what the sisters of the slave family looked like."

Hearing the conversation between Wang Tianci and Lu Chen, Yelu Nanyan and Xiao Wenyao were a little surprised.

This dissolute woman in red sitting on the courtyard wall is actually the slave girl of the Northern King?

Are the female slaves of the Northern Palace's Mansion so bold that they dare to talk to the Northern King as the master like this?

Xiao Wenyao remembered those slaves she used to have in the royal court, if any slave dared to talk to her like this, I am afraid that without waiting for her to do it, the other slaves would beat the slave who spoke to her like this half to death.

At this time, Wang Tianci glanced at Yelu Nanyan and Xiao Wenyao, and continued with a smile: "It seems that the prince has always remembered the sentence that the slave family said that there are beauties in the barbarian royal court. ”

When Lu Chen came to Beijun, Lu Chen once asked if there were any beautiful women in Beijun, and at that time, Wang Tianci told Lu Chen, saying that there were beautiful women in the royal court of the barbarians.

Wang Tianci was the owner of the Baihua Building at that time, the holy daughter of the Yanyu Pavilion, and a large amount of information passed through her every day, so she had some understanding of the situation of the barbarian royal court, and knew that the princess of the Heavenly Wolf King was particularly beautiful.

When she saw her today, Wang Tianci was also surprised by Yelu Nanyan's appearance, and she felt that she couldn't compare with Yelu Nanyan at all.

The charm of a mature woman on Yelu Nanyan is something she doesn't have, and she knows very well in her heart that Lu Chen just likes Yelu Nanyan and Chu Yuqin.

Every time Chu Yuqin was mentioned in front of Lu Chen, Lu Chen became very fierce as if he had been beaten with chicken blood.

Wang Tianci jumped down from the courtyard wall at this time, her light body slowly landed, and then she came to Lu Chen, and said in his ear: "Lord Wang, I don't know if there is any news about the Dayue Dynasty in Jinyiwei, there have been some changes in the Dayue Dynasty recently. ”

Wang Tianqi came here, naturally not to chat with Lu Chen, she is now the owner of Tingyu Building, and she is responsible for collecting information from major dynasties and countries for Lu Chen, how can she have time to come here to chat with Lu Chen about women.

Hearing Wang Tian's words, Lu Chen was stunned for a moment.

At present, most of the Jinyi Guards are distributed in the territory of the Great Xia Dynasty, and there are not many people in other dynasties, and he really hasn't heard of any changes in the Great Yue Dynasty.

The Dayue Dynasty is next to Beijun, just in the southwest corner, although the Dayue Dynasty is a dynasty that has only been created recently, and it is also relatively poor, and its strength is not very good, but it is good that Beijun is a neighbor, and Lu Chen is bound to grasp their movements.

Lu Chen has been dealing with the affairs of Beijun recently, and he has hardly paid attention to the Dayue Dynasty, but he didn't expect that not long after Tingyulou was established, he infiltrated into the Dayue Dynasty, and Wang Tianci's work efficiency was quite high.

Lu Chen immediately asked: "I haven't sent Jinyi Wei to the Dayue Dynasty for the time being, if there is any change, you can just tell me directly." ”

Wang Qian said: "The Dayue Dynasty has been mobilizing troops for half a month, and now it has 200,000 troops stationed at the junction of Great Xia and Beijun. ”

Hearing this, Lu Chen laughed, and then he said, "Could it be that the Dayue Dynasty thinks that this king is going to attack them?" ”

Lu Chen didn't think that at this time, the Dayue Dynasty was going to invade Great Xia, and the 300,000 barbarian army was wiped out by Beijun, and the Dayue Dynasty, as a dynasty that had only been created for a short time, they didn't have the courage to suddenly send troops to Great Xia.

The approach of the Dayue Dynasty is most likely to be guarding against Beijun.

Suddenly a behemoth appeared to their north, and they couldn't be without worrying at all.

Not to mention that the Dayue Dynasty has 200,000 troops, even those vassal kings inside Great Xia have stationed troops in the northern county and the places bordering them.

For example, King Qi, more than a month ago, Lu Chen sent to pick up Mu Zixuan and their 5,000 heavy cavalry had just left Anping City, and after King Qi got the news, he transferred all the 50,000 troops in the fief to the north overnight.

The 50,000 troops didn't make any moves, anyway, they just stayed opposite Anping City, monitoring Beijun.

Obviously, the appearance of 50,000 heavy cavalry shocked all dynasties, especially the forces around Beijun, and they were all afraid that Lu Chen would suddenly send troops to attack them, so they hurriedly transferred troops to the north to defend Beijun.

Seeing that Lu Chen seemed to disagree, Wang Qian said: "Lord Wang, the slave family thinks that Da Yue's transfer of troops to the north is not just to prevent Beijun. ”

Hearing Wang Tian's words, Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, in his opinion, as soon as the 50,000 heavy cavalry of Beijun came out, there would definitely be no forces around that would dare to come to find trouble for him.

If the Dayue Dynasty didn't transfer troops north to defend Beijun, then what were they for?

Could it be that they really want to come and attack Beijun?

Lu Chen then said, "Tell me what you think." ”

Wang Tianci then said: "As far as the slave family knows, not only Da Yue is transferring troops, but other major dynasties are also secretly transferring troops, and they are all stationed in places bordering Great Xia. ”

"So the slave family thinks that it is unlikely that the Dayue Dynasty is transferring troops just to guard against Beijun, and the major dynasties are more like they have reached some kind of tacit agreement and are ready to move troops against Daxia."

Lu Chen fell into deep thought, he had been paying attention to what was happening in Great Xia, and he almost didn't know about the news of the transfer of troops from several major dynasties.

It is also possible that I went to the Northland in the past half a month, and the information was piled up in my study.

But then again, this is just a test of Tingyulou's ability to gather intelligence.

At this time, Wang Tianci continued: "After the 50,000 heavy cavalry of Beijun came out, several major dynasties are likely to think that these heavy cavalry are His Majesty's, plus the original heavy cavalry of the imperial court, and now Great Xia has nearly 80,000 heavy cavalry, which may make other dynasties mistakenly think that His Majesty has ambitions for foreign expansion." ”

Lu Chen thought for a while, and thought that what Wang Tianci said was right, although these 50,000 heavy cavalry were the remnants of Dayu that he had summoned through the system, but others didn't know about these things.

What other dynasties saw was that the whole of Bactria had nearly 80,000 heavy cavalry.

Great Xia suddenly increased 50,000 heavy cavalry, what is this for? It seems to have gone without saying.

Originally, the major dynasties were evenly matched, and suddenly one day one of them began to expand its army vigorously, and without the other dynasties knowing, others will only think that you are ready to start a war.

In this way, the major dynasties will tacitly think about solving the strongest one first.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen showed a smile, and then said to Wang Tianci: "Lord Wang's intelligence work is doing well, continue to work hard in the future, and pay more attention to the movements of the major dynasties." ”

Wang Tianci then said, "Yes, my lord." ”

Speaking of this, Wang Tianci jumped lightly and jumped directly to the courtyard wall, "Lord Wang, if there is nothing to do, the slave family will leave first." ”

Lu Chen said, "Well, okay. ”

Then Wang Tianci's figure quickly disappeared.

At this time, Lu Chen came back to his senses and looked at Yelu Nanyan and Xiao Wenyao.

Yelu Nanyan said without humility or arrogance at this time: "Lord Wang, I want to go and see the soldiers of our barbarian race, I don't know if it's okay?" ”

Lu Chen said: "No problem, come with me." ”

Lu Chen originally planned to take Yelu Nanyan and Xiao Wenyao to meet those barbarian soldiers, so that those barbarian soldiers could completely calm down and avoid some undeserved thoughts in their hearts.
