Chapter 142: The Family Comes From
During the daytime yesterday, Yelu Nanyan was still in some sad mood, thinking that she would be the slave girl of the Northern King in the future, and she felt extremely pessimistic about her future.
But after what happened last night, Yelu Nanyan's pessimism in his heart completely dissipated, and Yelu Nanyan only felt extremely ashamed at this time.
She practiced martial arts for decades, but was defeated by a little man who was a teenager.
However, if the so-called slave girl is just treated like this, it seems that it is not a big deal to become Lu Chen's slave girl.
But then again, Lu Chen, the grandmaster, is definitely not an ordinary grandmaster.
Although Yelu Nanyan was in contact with those things for the first time, she was the princess of the Sirius King after all, and she was already in her thirties this year, so she naturally understood everything she should understand.
Even if Lu Chen is a grandmaster's physique, it stands to reason that he can't be so fierce.
At this time, Yelu Nanyan wanted to move, but he had no strength at all, the whole person was completely soft, and a nine-rank martial artist could be pounded like this by a grandmaster, which was really incredible.
It can be said that she was defeated very completely.
She lost the war of the Sirius King tribe against the North Commander, and in the personal battle with the North King, she lost again.
Not only was she defeated, but her heart was also completely conquered by Lu Chen, and Yelu Nanyan knew very well in her heart that she might never be able to do without the North King in the future.
Human desires are like rolling rocks in a mountain, once they start, it is difficult to stop.
If she hadn't been in contact with Lu Chen before, she might have been uninterested in men all along.
But Lu Chen helped her open the door to a new world, and if she wants to control herself in the future, I'm afraid it will be very difficult, especially when she thinks of Beiwang, she probably can't help but think of those things that happened yesterday.
Thinking of this, Yelu Nanyan sighed slightly, and then she asked, "Lord Wang, it's already dawn, aren't you up yet?" ”
Staying in this state all the time, Yelu Nanyan always felt weird, as if he were an animal.
Lu Chen smiled slightly, and then said: "I was busy all night yesterday and didn't have much rest, you can't just drive me away now, right?" ”
Yelu Nanyan didn't say much, forget it, this little man can do whatever he wants.
After that, Lu Chen hugged the big pillow of Yelu Nanyan and closed his eyes, and soon fell asleep.
……
Chu Yuqin patrolled the inner courtyard early in the morning and didn't see Lu Chen, she came to the outside of Yelu Nanyan and Xiao Wenyao's courtyard and looked inside.
At this time, Chu Qingli also came here.
Seeing that Chu Yuqin had been looking inside, Chu Qingli immediately asked, "Sister, what are you looking at?" ”
After hearing Chu Qingli's words, Chu Yuqin coughed, and then said, "Hasn't Chen'er gotten up yet?" ”
Chu Yuqin didn't patrol much yesterday, mainly Chu Qingli was patrolling, but Chu Yuqin knew that Lu Chen had come to this yard.
After hearing Chu Yuqin's words, Chu Qingli laughed and said: "I haven't slept for a night, how can I get up so early, what's the matter with looking for him?" ”
Chu Qingli passed by this courtyard several times last night, and every time she passed by this courtyard, she would always hear a voice coming from inside, anyway, Lu Chen's identity as an animal in her heart was already confirmed.
After hearing Chu Qingli's words, Chu Yuqin said, "In this way, then let him sleep a little longer." ”
Chu Yuqin is indeed a bit of a matter to find Lu Chen, but it is not a big deal, it is still Lu Chen's body that is the most important, let him rest first.
After Chu Yuqin glanced at the courtyard in front of him again, he turned around and left directly.
Chu Qingli also hurriedly followed, away from this courtyard full of sins.
It was almost noon when Lu Chen left Yelu Nanyan's room, and after Lu Chen got up, Yelu Nanyan suddenly felt a sense of emptiness in his body, and his heart was suddenly a little reluctant.
However, as soon as she thought of what happened yesterday, Yelu Nanyan's delicate body couldn't help but tremble, and she hurriedly used her internal force to quickly calm herself down.
After Lu Chen left, Mu Zixuan asked people to send a lot of supplements, and Yelu Nanyan sat at the table, looking at the supplements on the table, and there was an indescribable feeling in his heart.
She hadn't heard of a woman needing so many supplements after doing that kind of thing.
But I have to say that the princess is really good to her.
It seems that the North Wangfu is not the Longtan Tiger's Den as she thought, but I don't know if the North King and the North Princess will be so good to her when she is old and decrepit.
……
Meanwhile.
Lu Chen was drinking the big tonic porridge made by Mu Zixuan himself in the study, while looking at the information sent by Jin Yiwei yesterday.
At this time, there was a knock at the door.
Lu Chen took a sip of porridge, and then said, "The door is not closed, come in." ”
The next moment, Chu Yuqin, who was wearing a purple dress, pushed the door and entered the study.
Lu Chen raised his head and glanced at the peerless Chu Yuqin, and there was no fluctuation in his heart.
It's not surprising that he didn't sleep all night last night, and his energy was sucked up by Yelu Nan's smoke.
"Aunt Chu, do you have anything to do with me?"
Chu Yuqin said: "Chen'er, the Chu family sent someone to look for me yesterday. ”
Hearing this, Lu Chen was stunned for a moment.
Since he came to Beijun, except for Chu Qingli, the Chu family has not sent anyone here.
And Chu Qingli is also a dispensable person for his safety, when he came to Beijun, if he hadn't had a system by himself, he would have died on the way to Beijun.
Did the Chu family send someone here at this time?
What are you doing?
Could it be that the Chu family plans to continue to support their participation in the succession?
Lu Chen didn't have much resentment towards his grandfather, after all, Chu Xiong had his own difficulties, and Chu Xiong let Chu Yuqin stay by his side all the time, which was a big favor for Lu Chen.
Lu Chen is not used to the rest of the Chu family, he recently learned about the internal division of the Chu family through the intelligence of Jinyiwei, and now there are two factions in the Chu family, one is the Northern King faction headed by his grandfather, and the other is the Eight Emperors faction.
The Eight Princes faction now has the upper hand in the entire Chu family, if it weren't for its own rise and defeat the 300,000 army of the barbarians, with the people of the Eight Princes' faction, Chu Xiong would definitely not easily send people to Beijun.
The current Chu Xiong is basically equivalent to being in a state of being hollowed out in the Chu family, and whether or not he is the head of the family does not have much impact on the Chu family.
Lu Chen then asked, "What did the Chu family come to you for this time?" ”
Chu Yuqin said: "This time it is not only the Chu family who came, but also the people of the Wang family, they hope that you can reconcile with the Eighth Prince." ”
"The Wang family said that the two of you represent the interests of the Jiangnan family, there is no reason to fight to the death, and if the eighth prince succeeds in winning the throne in the future, it will be of greater benefit to you, and the Wang family also hinted that my eighth prince is likely to assign King Qi's fief to you in the future, so that you can build a country alone."
……???
Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing.
He thought just now that the Chu family sent people to continue to support the succession, but it turned out to be the Chu family of the Eight Princes' faction.
"Huh...... Hehe, the Eighth Prince sent someone to assassinate me first, and now he actually says that we don't need to fight to the death? ”
"What is in the minds of this Wang family?"
"It's come to this time, and the Wang family still wants to help the Eighth Prince to win me over? Don't they know that my relationship with the Eighth Prince has reached the point where it is incompatible? ”
Lu Chen didn't believe that the Wang family didn't know about the Eighth Emperor sending assassins to assassinate him, the Eighth Prince had always been protected by the Wang family's grandmaster, and the Wang family must know what the Eighth Prince did.
Sending assassins to assassinate him repeatedly, only to have the cheekiness to come and reconcile with him at this time, it is simply a fool's dream.
Seeing Lu Chen's reaction, Chu Yuqin knew that Lu Chen had no intention of reconciling with the Eighth Prince at all, and it was right to think about it, who would have a good relationship with a person who had sent assassins to assassinate him many times, as if nothing had happened.
Chu Yuqin continued: "Chen'er, my grandfather may have completely lost control of the Chu family, this time the people sent by the Chu family not only did not help you speak, but their position was to support the Eighth Prince's succession, and more to persuade you to reconcile with the Eighth Prince." ”
"If your grandfather is still in control of the Chu family now, it is impossible for him not to support you as the crown prince at this time."
Chu Xiong is Lu Chen's grandfather, Lu Chen has now achieved such great feats in Beijun, and now the people don't know how many people want Lu Chen to be the prince, Chu Xiong will inevitably stand up at this time and stand on Lu Chen's side.
As a result, the people sent by the Chu family were from the Eight Princes' faction, which means that Chu Xiong has completely lost control of the Chu family, and now the entire Chu family is probably from the Eight Princes' faction.
Hearing Chu Yuqin's words, Lu Chen pondered for a moment, and then said: "Even if he loses control of the Chu family, it won't affect me much, anyway, I don't plan to rely on the Chu family, but then again, the Wang family is so eager to let me reconcile with the Eighth Prince this time, I'm afraid it's because they're worried that their little bit of bad things will be exposed." ”
The Wang family and the Eighth Prince maintained close cooperation with the Heavenly Wolf King tribe before the 300,000-strong barbarian army went south, and the Heavenly Wolf King led the barbarian army south, which was inseparable from their cooperation.
The Wang family originally wanted to take advantage of this barbarian army to go south to force Emperor Xia not to dare to make a move against the family.
Emperor Xia was not a fool, he must have known that once there was internal chaos, the barbarian army would likely go south directly, and the entire Great Xia would be in turmoil at that time.
So when the time came, Emperor Xia had to bow his head.
But what no one expected was that the king of the north not only held the entire northern county, but wiped out the 300,000 army of the barbarians.
Now that the pressure from the outside of Great Xia has disappeared in an instant, the knife that Emperor Xia has been sharpening for so long is probably about to fall.
Once the evidence of the collusion between the barbarians and the Wang family is transmitted to the capital, Emperor Xia will definitely take the Wang family first, and the Wang family will have to send someone to the North King to sue for peace at this time.
Thinking of this, the corners of Lu Chen's mouth rose slightly, and then he said: "It seems that the Wang family doesn't want me to hand over the evidence of their collusion with the barbarians to my father, so they sent someone to sue for peace, but they are too insincere, at this time, they actually want to support the Eighth Emperor to seize the heir, but instead draw a cake for me, let me build a country in a bitter cold place like Beijun?" ”
"They're taking me for a fool."
Chu Yuqin asked at this time: "Chen'er, they are still in the restaurant opened in Xuanyue Palace, do you want to meet them?" If not, I'll let them go back. ”
Lu Chen said: "It's gone, so as not to affect my mood." ”
Lu Chen also wished that his father would hurry up and destroy all the families in Great Xia, so as not to leave a mess for himself in the future.
If the family is not destroyed, it will be difficult to concentrate imperial power, which is not a good thing for Lu Chen, who is about to implement reforms.
However, for now, Lu Chen's implementation of reforms in Beijun will not be too hindering, fortunately, there is no big family in Beijun.
At this time, Chu Yuqin said: "Okay, I'll let them leave Yancheng now." ”
Speaking of this, Chu Yuqin turned around and left.
Watching Chu Yuqin leave Qianying, Lu Chen rubbed his temples, thinking in his heart that his father was going to use the knife, and his opportunity had come, should he seize the time to promote the reform of Beijun.
……
After a while.
Xuanyue Restaurant, in a private room.
As soon as Chu Yuqin entered the private room, a man in cyan clothes immediately greeted him and said, "Mrs. Chu, I don't know if the prince agreed to see us?" ”
Chu Yuqin said lightly: "You all go back, the prince doesn't plan to see the Wang family for the time being." ”
Hearing this, Wang Yong was stunned.
The main purpose of their visit this time is to reconcile the North King and the Eighth Prince, if they can't even see people, then how can they reconcile the North King and the Eighth Prince.
Now it's in trouble.
Wang Yong then said, "Mrs. Chu, didn't you tell the King of the North what we said?" ”
Chu Yuqin said lightly: "I told you, the prince thinks that your Wang family is not sincere, so he doesn't want to see you." ”
This......
Wang Yong instantly understood what Chu Yuqin meant.
The condition they put forward was for the North King to support the Eight Princes to seize the throne, and when the Eight Princes inherited the throne in the future, they cut a few maps to the North King and let the North King establish a country alone.
If the Northern King thinks that this condition is insincere, then it can only prove one point, the Northern King is very ambitious, and his goal is the entire Great Xia, so the land they promised is not rare at all.
In this way, there is no room for easing the relationship between the Northern King and the Eighth Prince.
The reason why the Wang family sent people to Beijun was because they thought that the 50,000 heavy cavalry in Beijun was definitely not the king of Bei, and these heavy cavalry were most likely the hole cards secretly prepared by Emperor Xia, and the king of Bei was just a chess piece.
The Wang family thought that as long as they were individuals, they would not be willing to be pawns, so they thought of using the land as bait to win over the North King and make the North King their person, so that they could not only monitor the 50,000 heavy cavalry in the North County, but also get a powerful helper politically.
However, it seems that the North King may not recognize his status as a chess piece, could it be that the North King really thinks that the 50,000 heavy cavalry is his?
Thinking of this, the Chu family and the Wang family present felt a little ridiculous, thinking that the king of the north didn't know what to do.
