After Wu Yuan took Wei Siyuan to Lu Chen's study, Wei Siyuan immediately knelt down and said to Lu Chen: "The last general, Wei Siyuan, meet the prince, the prince is a thousand years old, a thousand years old!" ”

Lu Chen immediately got up from his seat, then put his arm on Wei Siyuan's shoulder and said, "General Wei, please get up quickly, this king has finally waited for you." ”

Wei Siyuan then got up, "Thank you, Lord Xie!" ”

After Wei Siyuan got up, Lu Chen asked, "General Wei, I don't know how many large warships there are on Fengyun Island now?" ”

Hearing this question, Wei Siyuan was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "Lord Wang, the ships on Fengyun Island are all medium-sized ships, and there are relatively few large ships, so they are not warships. ”

After Wei Siyuan arrived in the north, he saw the large merchant ships of the Dongfang family, and the Dongfang family engaged in maritime trade in order to do business, so the merchant ships were built very large.

Wei Siyuan had always thought that their ship on Fengyun Island was the largest before he saw the large merchant ships of the Dongfang family, but as soon as he arrived in the northern country, he saw a large merchant ship that was one ship higher than them, which suddenly made them feel that the ships they built on Fengyun Island were all fishing boats.

Now Wei Siyuan is embarrassed to tell Lu Chen that the ship they built is a warship, how can any warship be like a small fish boat in front of a merchant ship.

The perception of this era is that the larger the ship, the stronger the power it represents, and if it is modern, it is normal for a merchant ship to be larger than a warship, and it is still an era in which combat effectiveness is measured by tonnage.

After hearing Wei Siyuan's words, Lu Chen thought about it for a while, it seems that if they want to build a naval army next, they need to build ships, but they don't have the technology to build big ships yet.

When I go back and ask the people of the Dongfang family, the merchant ships built by the Dongfang family are so big, there should be shipbuilders and shipbuilding technology.

At this moment, Wei Siyuan opened his mouth and asked, "Lord Wang, when his subordinates arrived in the Northern Kingdom, I heard that the palace master of Xuanyue Palace lived in the Northern Palace?" ”

Hearing Wei Siyuan ask this question, Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, does the palace master of Xuanyue Palace have anything to do with Wei Siyuan living in the North Palace? How could Wei Siyuan do this?

Lu Chen asked curiously, "Why did you think of asking this question?" ”

Wei Siyuan asked directly: "I don't know if the prince knows that the palace master of Xuanyue Palace is actually the princess of Chen Guo?" ”

If Wei Siyuan was standing on the identity of the remnant of Chen Guo, then he would naturally not tell Lu Chen about Chen Wanrong, but now that their Wei family has waited for the birth of the Son of Destiny, the King of the North will be their master in the future, so they no longer have to be loyal to the royal family of Chen State.

Wei Siyuan simply sold Chen Wanrong, after all, Chen Wanrong is the princess of Chen Guo, and Lu Chen is the vassal king of Great Xia.

As Lu Chen's subordinate, Wei Siyuan naturally wanted to tell this matter, and also asked Lu Chen if he knew these things.

Hearing Wei Siyuan's words, Lu Chen was stunned again.

How could Wei Siyuan, who stayed on Fengyun Island, know about this?

There are very few people who know that Chen Wanrong is the princess of Chen Guo now, and even those women in Luchen in the inner courtyard of the Beiwang Mansion don't know Chen Wanrong's true identity, most of them think that Chen Wanrong is just the palace master of Xuanyue Palace.

After Lu Chen came back to his senses, he asked curiously, "How did you know her identity?" ”

Wei Siyuan said: "Don't hide it from the prince, the relationship between the Wei family and the Chen royal family was relatively good, and they were reused by the Chen royal family. ”

"At the beginning, the Wei family planned to help Chen Guo restore the country, and his subordinates have been in correspondence with Princess Chen Guo over the years."

"However, since we have received the order from the prince, we will naturally assist the prince in achieving hegemony in the future, and the restoration of the Chen State has nothing to do with the Wei family."

Hearing this, Lu Chen smiled, and then said, "So that's the case. ”

Lu Chen thought in his heart, he didn't expect Chen Wanrong's person to become his own person now, I don't know what Chen Wanrong will think in his heart after knowing about this.

At this time, Wei Siyuan continued: "Lord Wang, Princess Chen Guo must have a plan when she comes to the Northern Palace, you have to be careful. ”

Hearing this, Lu Chen said lightly: "You don't have to worry about this, it won't be long before she will become the side concubine of this king and give birth to children for the king of the north." ”

"You old ministers of the Chen State don't have to be too entangled."

This......

Wei Siyuan was slightly stunned.

To be honest, the conflict between Chen Wanrong and Lu Chen is really not what Wei Siyuan wants to see, because the relationship between the Wei family and the Chen royal family was very good, and the Wei family can have today, it is also because of the support of the Chen royal family, if it were not for the help of the Chen royal family, their Wei family may not be able to wait for the appearance of the Son of Destiny.

If Princess Chen Guo can be combined with the Son of Destiny, it will naturally be great.

Wei Siyuan came back to his senses and said, "My subordinates understand. ”

Lu Chen continued: "In addition, you can go and tell her about your Wei family's defection to this king later, and it is time for this king to have a showdown with her." ”

Wei Siyuan said: "My subordinates understand. ”

What Lu Chen thought in his heart was that it had been delayed for so long, this was a good opportunity, the Wei family must be a very important force for Chen Wanrong, and now that the Wei family has taken refuge in the northern country, this will definitely be a huge blow to Chen Wanrong, which will make Chen Wanrong unable to see the hope of recovering the country.

In addition, Chen Wanrong already knew about him and Lin Wanyun, and it was not a matter of a day or two for her to spy on her and Lin Wanyun's fornication, Chen Wanrong should have guessed in her heart that her and Lin Wanyun's secret was known to herself.

When she knew that Chen Guo's old ministers came to take refuge in her, then Chen Wanrong would definitely explode in her mentality, and she couldn't help but come directly to her, he just had to wait.

Wei Siyuan then reported the situation on Fengyun Island to Lu Chen, and after the report was almost over, Wei Siyuan went to Yunrong Courtyard under the leadership of the people of the palace.

At this moment.

Lin Wanyun and Chen Wanrong were discussing the affairs of Chen Guo's former ministers in the pavilion.

Chen Wanrong said: "The Wei family should arrive in Yancheng in the next few days. ”

Lin Wanyun asked with concern: "Palace Master, are these Wei family members really reliable, after all, the Chen State has been gone for so many years, and people's hearts are changeable, not to mention that they have 100,000 elite soldiers on Fengyun Island, they may have some thoughts that they shouldn't have." ”

Since ancient times, when the royal family is weak, the generals with military power may have the idea of becoming the emperor themselves, not to mention that the Chen State has long been destroyed, and there is only one princess left in the Chen royal family, not even a prince, the royal family without a prince, why should others help you restore the country, it is better to be the emperor yourself, and by the way, the princess of the royal family will be forcibly married.

Chen Wanrong said: "The Wei family has always been loyal to the royal family of the Chen State, for the sake of the Chen State, many members of the Wei family died on the battlefield, I was able to escape from the imperial capital of the Chen State back then, thanks to the Wei family, now I am the palace master of the Xuanyue Palace, with the power of the Xuanyue Palace, they will not change their minds." ”

Chen Wanrong naturally understood why Lin Wanyun was worried, if she was just a powerless princess, the Wei family would probably use the banner of recovering the country, and after Chen Guo returned to the country, he would forcibly marry her, and then steal the country, and finally become the emperor of the Wei family.

But she is not a powerless princess, there is the entire Xuanyue Palace behind her, it is impossible for the Wei family not to know what kind of power Xuanyue Palace is, there is a super sect of Xuanyue Palace, Chen Wanrong does not believe that the Wei family dares to have the intention of stealing the country.

After hearing Chen Wanrong's words, Lin Wanyun thought about it and felt that there was some truth, Chen Wanrong was the palace master of Xuanyue Palace after all, and Chen Wanrong herself was a grandmaster, the Wei family might still be loyal to the Chen family and Chen Wanrong.

Just when Lin Wanyun was thinking so, a maid from the palace suddenly entered Yunrong Courtyard, and when she saw a maid coming in, Lin Wanyun and Chen Wanrong were stunned at the same time, and instantly became vigilant.

Normally, without their permission, the maids of the palace will not directly enter the Yunrong Courtyard, the identity of the two of them is relatively special, and they are guests in the palace, so the maids are standing outside the Yunrong Courtyard.

At this time, the maid said, "Palace Master Chen, there is a guest surnamed Wei who wants to see you. ”

Hearing this, Chen Wanrong's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

A guest with the surname Wei?

Isn't that just Wei Siyuan?

How could Wei Siyuan come to the Beiwang Mansion to see him?

Chen Wanrong and Lin Wanyun both turned their heads at the same time and looked at each other, Lin Wanyun asked, "Palace Master, you shouldn't have asked him to come to the North Palace's Mansion to find you, right?" ”

Chen Wanrong didn't speak, this is the Beiwang Mansion, how could she let Wei Siyuan, an old minister of the Chen Kingdom, come to the Beiwang Mansion to find herself, if she let him come to the Beiwang Mansion to find herself, wouldn't Lu Chen find out.

Lu Chen had already seen through their plan, and if Lu Chen knew that Chen Guo still had 100,000 elite soldiers on Fengyun Island, he didn't know what he would do.

There must be a demon when things go wrong, Chen Wanrong didn't believe that Wei Siyuan was a person who was dozens of years old, he didn't have any brains at all, he came to the Beiwang Mansion to find himself, something must have happened.

Chen Wanrong then asked the maid, "Where is he now?" ”

The maid replied, "It's in the palace." ”

Chen Wanrong immediately said, "Bring him over." ”

"Yes, Palace Master Chen."

Then the maid turned to leave, and not long after, a middle-aged man appeared at the door of Yunrong Courtyard.

Seeing Wei Siyuan's appearance, Chen Wanrong was stunned again, although she hadn't seen Wei Siyuan for more than ten years, she could still recognize Wei Siyuan at a glance, the middle-aged man in front of her was indeed Wei Siyuan who had covered her escape from the Imperial City of Chen Guo.

Wei Siyuan is almost the same as more than ten years ago, except that his beard has become more and more mature, the whole person has not changed much.

After Wei Siyuan entered the courtyard, he also recognized Chen Wanrong at a glance, although Chen Wanrong has changed a lot from a little girl to a big girl, but Chen Wanrong looks very much like the previous Empress Chen Guo, so it is still easy to recognize.

Wei Siyuan immediately walked outside the pavilion, half-knelt down and said, "Old minister Wei Siyuan, meet the princess!" Princess Chitose Chitose Chitose! ”

Hearing this, Chen Wanrong and Lin Wanyun were stunned.

This is in the Beiwang Mansion, how can Wei Siyuan do this kind of ceremony, although the palace master and the princess have the same sound, but you add a "Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose", and others can immediately judge that you are calling "princess".

Chen Wanrong was a little puzzled, why didn't Wei Siyuan have any vigilance at all?

Chen Wanrong then said coldly: "Get up." ”

Wei Siyuan immediately got up from the ground and said, "Your Royal Highness Princess Xie." ”

Well?

Chen Wanrong raised her eyebrows again, just call the princess, and add a "Your Highness", is she afraid that others will not know that she is a princess?

Chen Wanrong said at this time: "I haven't seen you for more than ten years, but Lord Wei has changed a lot. ”

Wei Siyuan said: "Compared with Her Royal Highness the Princess, the old minister's change is nothing. ”

Seeing that Wei Siyuan was a princess, Chen Wanrong couldn't bear it anymore, and she asked directly: "Why did Lord Wei come to the Beiwang Mansion to find me, did something happen?" ”

Hearing this question, Wei Siyuan said with a smile on his face: "Back to Her Royal Highness Princess, the old minister didn't come to you on purpose, it's just that the old minister happened to come to the Northern Palace, so I asked you by the way." ”

This......

Hearing Wei Siyuan's answer, Chen Wanrong and Lin Wanyun suddenly had a bad premonition in their hearts.

Wei Siyuan came to Beiwangfu for something? He, a courtier of the Chen Kingdom, what can he do when he comes to the Beiwang Mansion?

Soon Chen Wanrong guessed the meaning of Wei Siyuan's words, and she said indifferently: "You, betrayed Chen Guo? ”

Speaking of this, a cold aura was released from Chen Wanrong's body, and the entire courtyard became extremely cold, as if a layer of frost had formed inside and outside the pavilion.

Wei Siyuan still said with a smile on his face: "Your Royal Highness Princess, what are these words, the old minister has never betrayed the Chen State, because the old minister and the Wei family were the people of the Northern King from the beginning. ”

This......

As soon as Wei Siyuan's words came out, Chen Wanrong and Lin Wanyun were stunned.

Especially Chen Wanrong, she was extremely shocked in her heart.

The people of the North King?

Lu Chen's people?

How old is Lu Chen this year?

How could Wei Siyuan be Lu Chen's person from the beginning?

Of course, Wei Siyuan knew that Chen Wanrong would definitely not understand why he said this, after all, Lu Chen was only eighteen years old this year, and the Wei family was already in the Chen State at the beginning of the establishment of the Chen State, and the Wei family's history in the Chen State was almost a hundred years.

Even if Chen Wanrong couldn't figure it out, Wei Siyuan couldn't tell Chen Wanrong some of the secrets casually, he mainly came to explain his position to Chen Wanrong, as for other things, he didn't need to tell Chen Wanrong.

After Wei Siyuan's words fell, Yunrong Courtyard instantly became extremely quiet, and the sound of fish turning over the water in the lotus pond became very loud.

Chen Wanrong never thought that Wei Siyuan would actually be Lu Chen's person.

After a while, Chen Wanrong confirmed: "The North King you are talking about, is it Lu Chen?" ”

What Chen Wanrong thought at this time was that maybe the North King that Wei Siyuan was talking about was not Lu Chen, but another person, the North King was just a prince's title, and anyone could use this title, maybe there was a North King they didn't know about in Great Xia before.

However, Wei Siyuan opened his mouth at this time and said, "Yes." ”

Seeing Wei Siyuan admit it, the expression on Chen Wanrong's face became even colder, she had always thought that after Chen Guozhongliang, she had been waiting for an important force to help her restore the country, and now she actually came to tell her that they were Lu Chen's people?

Are you kidding?

I don't know how long it took for Chen Wanrong to open her mouth and say coldly: "The Wei family was almost wiped out for the sake of Chen Guo, and now you tell this palace that you were the people of the North King from the beginning, and the North King was born at that time?" ”

Wei Siyuan sensed Chen Wanrong's anger and felt a chill, but Wei Siyuan still didn't change his face, he said with a smile: "Your Royal Highness Princess, the Wei family has indeed paid a lot for Chen Guo, but that is just to repay Chen Guo, there are some things that the old minister can't tell you too much, but the old minister can tell you that the master of the Wei family has only been the king of the North from the beginning." ”

Chen Wanrong said: "In this way, when the palace came to the northern kingdom, your Wei family told the northern king all the things about the palace?" ”

Wei Siyuan said: "This is not true, this is the first time that the old minister has come to the North Prince's Mansion, and today is also the first time that the old minister has met the North King, but judging from the conversation between the old minister and the North King just now, the North King has indeed known your identity for a long time." ”

"The reason why the old minister came to see you now is also the meaning of the King of the North."

The words fell, and there was a long silence.

Chen Wanrong didn't think that Wei Siyuan would treat himself as a fool to deceive, after all, what Wei Siyuan said was a little too weird, Lu Chen had not been born yet, their Wei family was Lu Chen's people, this kind of thing could only deceive fools.

But in Lu Chen's case, the more things that violate common sense, the more likely they are to be true.

Chen Wanrong and Lin Wanyun have been in the northern country for so long, they have long seen all kinds of miracles of Lu Chen, and there are rumors in the palace that Lu Chen is an immortal disciple, and they have also heard of it.

In addition, Chen Wanrong herself has a transcendent master, and she has seen many strange things in the world, so Chen Wanrong quickly accepted Wei Siyuan's words in her heart.

If what Wei Siyuan said is true, then it proves that someone is paving the way for Lu Chen before he was born.

Thinking about it this way, all these things that happened after Lu Chen came to the northern country seemed to be pushed by an invisible hand, Lu Chen was probably not an ordinary prince, coupled with the rumors of the immortal disciples, this further showed that Lu Chen's identity was very special.

What kind of force is behind Lu Chen?

Chen Wanrong suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness, and she felt that she had hit a thick wall.

Lin Wanyun, the person closest to her, was smashed by Lu Chen, and now Wei Siyuan told her that the important force she was waiting for to restore the country was also Lu Chen's people.

Ever since she came to the Northland, she felt as if everything in the world was revolving around the man Lu Chen.

Seeing that Chen Wanrong didn't speak for a long time, Wei Siyuan continued at this time: "Your Royal Highness Princess, there is no need for you and the Northern King to be on opposite sides, although he is the child of the Xia Emperor, he is not just the child of the Xia Emperor, you have a lot of common interests, and as far as the old minister knows, his mother is the goddess of Xuanyue Palace, and he is the god son of Xuanyue Palace. ”

Hearing this, Chen Wanrong said indifferently: "You don't have to be a lobbyist for him, you can go out." ”
