Chapter 175 Are You Planning to Rebel?

Wangfu, Chunshengyuan.

There was light snow falling in the courtyard, and everything was peaceful.

Yelu Nanyan was sitting in the room with a hot pot of tea in front of her. While she was sipping the tea, she listened to the sounds coming from the yard next door.

"Your Majesty, please spare my life..."

"Your Majesty, I know I made a mistake..."

"Your Majesty...husband...good brother..."

…

At this time, Xiao Wenyao on the side whispered: "Sister Nanyan, I remember that the woman next door is also the prince's woman, right?"

Yelu Nanyan took a sip of tea and replied, "All the people living in the inner courtyard are his women."

Xiao Wenyao said: "Oh."

Xiao Wenyao thought for a moment, and then continued: "But I rarely see the prince going next door."

Yelu Nanyan said: "She is different from us. She is responsible for something outside and is not often in the palace."

Hearing this, Xiao Wenyao sighed, and then said: "It would be great if I was also responsible for something. Staying in the palace every day is so boring."

Yelu Nanyan smiled slightly, and then said: "The prince will go to your room later, so you won't be bored anymore."

Hearing this, Xiao Wenyao trembled and said with a red face: "Sister Nanyan, what are you talking about? The prince is still doing bad things next door, how could he come to me?"

Xiao Wenyao still had some expectations in her heart. After all, it had been more than two months since she had played horse riding with Lu Chen.

But she also knew that Lu Chen had many women, and Lu Chen might not come looking for her in a while. Even if Lu Chen came to Chunshengyuan, he would most likely go to Yelu Nanyan first.

As long as Lu Chen entered Yelu Nanyan's room, he would never go out every night. This was basically the case every time. Xiao Wenyao had already figured out the pattern.

Lu Chen seemed to like attacking Yelu Nanyan's weaknesses very much. Xiao Wenyao was actually a little curious as to why Lu Chen could stay in Yelu Nanyan's room for so long every time. Could it be because Yelu Nanyan was a ninth-grade warrior? In order to make her surrender, Lu Chen needs a longer period of suppression?

Seeing Xiao Wenyao's face flushed, Yelu Nanyan smiled slightly, and then said: "Yao Yao, you should give birth to a fat boy for the prince as soon as possible. Maybe you can go out if you want to."

Hearing this, Xiao Wenyao asked: "Is it true?"

Yelu Nanyan said softly: "The people of Daxia value heirs. If you give birth to an heir for the prince, your status in the Northern Prince's Mansion will also be improved to a certain extent. Naturally, you can go out if you want."

Xiao Wenyao said: "But I heard that it is very difficult for warriors to get pregnant, and it is not so easy to have children."

Yelu Nanyan smiled and said, "It's simple. As long as you take good care of the prince and let him go to your place a few more times, you may be lucky one day and you will get pregnant."

Hearing this, Xiao Wenyao curled her lips. She didn't want Lu Chen to run to her often.

Although being yelled at by Lu Chen would not make her uncomfortable, she would definitely not be able to handle it if Lu Chen often came to her.

Let alone her, there was no woman in the entire inner courtyard of the palace who could resist Lu Chen often having sex with them.

Her attitude towards Lu Chen was quite complicated. She was afraid that Lu Chen would not come to her, but she was also afraid that Lu Chen would come to her every day.

What she was thinking was that it would be best if Lu Chen came to see her every seven or eight days.

Just when Xiao Wenyao was lost in thought, the voices next door became louder and louder. Yelu Nanyan said with a smile: "It seems that the prince is very angry today?"

Hearing Yelu Nanyan's words, Xiao Wenyao couldn't help but clench her legs. She thought to herself that she must be obedient in front of Lu Chen in the future, otherwise she might be punished by the prince like the one next door.

I don’t know how long it took.

The snow in the sky is getting heavier and heavier, and the sounds in the inner courtyard of the palace are gradually obscured by the sound of wind and snow.

As time passed, only the sound of whistling wind and snow was left.

at the same time.

In a certain room.

Wang Qingci was lying on the couch, her hair disheveled, looking like she was beyond love.

At this time, Lu Chen was looking through the information about Dayue that Wang Qingci had given him.

At this time, the wind and snow drifted in from the window, but this room had already been transformed into a greenhouse, and there was no trace of cold.

Even if this room is not a greenhouse, it doesn't matter. Lu Chen can also use manpower to turn this room into a greenhouse. At this time, Wang Qingci is so hot that she is sweating all over her body.

At this time, Lu Chen glanced at the white area next to him and said with a smile: "Master Wang, aren't you here to report information to me? Why are you lying motionless?"

"There is a big problem with your work attitude. You dare to be so lazy in front of me, the prince."

"It seems that we need to train and train him well."

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Wang Qingci turned over slightly, turned sideways, and stared into Lu Chen's eyes with a look of resentment.

"My lord, you really like the bad guys to complain first. It's obviously you who doesn't let me report my work seriously."

"Next time you do this, the slave family will ask others to send information and never return to the palace."

Lu Chen said calmly: "Oh? As my slave girl, do you dare not come back and report to me in person?"

"Do you want to rebel?"

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Wang Qingci said quietly: "The prince is so fierce, how can the slave family dare to rebel?"

Seeing the resentful expression on Wang Qingci's face, Lu Chen raised his hand and slapped her on the buttocks, and then said: "Master Wang, you have to remember that it is your job to serve me."

Speaking of this, Lu Chen turned his head and looked at the intelligence in his hand again, "Okay, let's talk about business."

The anger in his heart was almost dissipated, and it was time to discuss business.

Wang Qingci then said: "Your Majesty, Tingyu Tower's business has expanded to the Dawu Dynasty, but it is not easy to inquire about the intelligence of the Dawu Dynasty."

"I heard that the eldest princess of the Dawu Dynasty is very powerful. The intelligence network she controls is spread all over Dawu. Any intelligence agency of any other dynasty that wants to enter the Dawu Dynasty will be discovered by her."

"Although Tingyu Tower has successfully opened several restaurants and inns in Dawu, I dare not let them inquire about anything."

Hearing Wang Qingci's words, Lu Chen immediately became interested, "Oh? A princess can still control such a huge intelligence network? Doesn't Dawu have a prince? How can a woman control such a huge intelligence network?"

This is an era that values ​​men over women. Even the princesses of the royal family generally have no power. Most of their roles are political tools used by the emperor to maintain the rule.

The intelligence network throughout the country is similar to the Shadow Guards in the hands of Emperor Xia. It is really hard to believe that a princess of a dynasty actually has an intelligence agency similar to the Shadow Guards.

Wang Qingci replied: "Of course, Dawu also has princes, and there are quite a few of them, but the eldest princess of Dawu is not simple, and those princes are not her opponents at all."

At this point, Wang Qingci suddenly thought of something, and then continued: "Speaking of women in power, I thought of another person, and that woman is relatively close to Beijun."

Lu Chen asked curiously: "Who?"

Wang Qingci replied: "The new Emperor Yue."

"Emperor Yue?" Lu Chen muttered to himself. Although the Great Yue Dynasty borders Beijun, he did not know much about the Great Yue Dynasty at first.

However, Tingyu Tower has collected a lot of information about the Great Yue Dynasty recently, but there is little information about Emperor Yue in these information.

Wang Qingci continued, "It is rumored that the new Yue Emperor is also a woman, but for some reason, other dynasties have little information about the new Yue Emperor."

"And there is no voice against the Yue Emperor within the Dayue Dynasty."

"Logically speaking, a woman becoming an emperor will definitely cause a shock to the dynasty and dissatisfaction among various forces, but Dayue is surprisingly quiet, and no one is discussing whether the Yue Emperor should be the emperor."

Hearing Wang Qingci's words, Lu Chen smiled and said, "This is quite interesting, the queen, I didn't expect that there are queens in this world."

Wang Qingci continued, "It's a coincidence that I heard that the eldest princess of Dawu and the Yue Emperor of Dayue Dynasty are old acquaintances, and they have a very good relationship."

"This time, the Dayue Dynasty stationed 200,000 troops in the border area with Beijun. It is very likely because Dawu asked the Yue Emperor for help and asked Dayue to guard against the 50,000 heavy cavalry of Beijun."

"But all this is my guess, and there is no evidence to confirm it."

Lu Chen pondered for a moment and said, "Your guess is not unreasonable Reason. "

"Da Wu was able to mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops to attack Da Xia the moment Da Xia provoked a dispute, which shows that they were prepared long ago. It also proves that they may have already greeted the countries or dynasties with good relations with Da Wu, so Dayue's 200,000 troops were mobilized in advance to the border area with Beijun to monitor Beijun's heavy cavalry. "

"Of course, speculation is speculation after all."

At this point, Lu Chen looked at Wang Qingci's beautiful eyes and said: "Since it is easier to be exposed when gathering intelligence in Da Wu, you should not collect too sensitive information, just collect what you hear from the people. "

"Next, Tingyu Tower will focus on the Dayue Dynasty. I am more interested in the empress of the Dayue Dynasty. "

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Wang Qingci said coquettishly: "Prince, you are not going to kidnap that empress to give birth to your children. "

Lu Chen laughed, and then slapped Wang Qingci's buttocks again, and Wang Qingci couldn't help but let out a whimper.

"What do you know? A woman who can make no man in the country oppose her becoming the empress proves that she must be very powerful and resourceful. In addition, the Great Yue Dynasty itself borders our Beijun. Isn't it right for me to want to know her?"

"By the way, how old is the new Emperor Yue this year?"

Originally, Wang Qingci believed what Lu Chen said, but when she heard Lu Chen asking about her age, Wang Qingci immediately looked at Lu Chen with suspicion, but she still replied: "It seems that she is only in her thirties. I don't know her exact age. Her age should be about the same as the eldest princess of Dawu. Since they are friends, I guess their ages will not be different. Too many. "

Wang Qingci immediately reminded: "Although I don't know what the prince thinks, I still want to remind the prince. I heard that Emperor Yue has many concubines, and she is not like the prince's women who are still innocent. "

Hearing Wang Qingci's words, Lu Chen looked at Wang Qingci and said: "Why are you telling me this? You don't really think that I have any interest in the Emperor Yue, do you?"

"No matter how stupid I am, I can't have that kind of interest in an empress. A woman who can have such great power must rely on men to a certain extent. Even men who become emperors have to consolidate their positions through marriage, let alone women as emperors. "

"The reason I want to understand her is that I am worried that she will become a great enemy of Beijun in the future."

"Master Wang, you actually think of me as a man who can only think with his lower body. You are maliciously speculating on me."

In this era, women have a relatively low status and must pay attention to the three obediences and four virtues, but this is relative.

Any rules are made by people with power. When women have power, they can completely ignore those rules.

Men can have three wives and four concubines in this era, and women with power can also have several men.

Not to mention the empress, even those married princesses in the capital of Daxia are more playful than one another. It is normal to keep a face. As for those sons-in-law, they dare not speak out, unless the son-in-law is from a big family, otherwise they can only bear it.

Even princesses, who are used as tools for political marriage by the emperor, will keep a face and a little white face, let alone the empress of a dynasty.

The empress of a dynasty has so much power in her hands that she can get any man she wants. If someone says that she is still pure and has never had contact with a man, who would believe it, not to mention that Yue Huang is already in her thirties, unless Yue Huang is a person who devotes herself to martial arts.

Only martial artists will abstain from sex, and there are also people who abstain from sex for a lifetime.

However, Lu Chen does not think that Yue Huang is the kind of woman who will abstain from sex. A woman who is at the center of power and has such great temptations around her, can she abstain from male sex? This is unlikely.

Lu Chen obviously did not go for Yue Huang's beauty, but Wang Qingci actually thought of him as a man who would have evil thoughts as long as he heard about women, which made Lu Chen very angry.

He is a gentleman, but he was regarded as a lustful person.

The little slave girl is simply lawless. She dared to slander him. She must be severely punished!

If you dare to slander him today, you don’t know what he will do tomorrow!

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Wang Qingci's face changed slightly, and she said quickly: "Prince, I know I'm wrong... Uh-huh..."

Lu Chen didn't care about anything, and threw the information in his hand aside, then leaned down and blocked Wang Qingci's red lips.

At this time, the snow was still falling outside the window, but it was much smaller.

The servants of the palace had already started shoveling snow. When they heard the sound coming from a certain courtyard, they all tactfully avoided that courtyard.

Yelv Nanyan and Xiao Wenyao were still sipping dragon and phoenix tea in the room. Hearing the sound coming from next door, Xiao Wenyao said: "Sister Nanyan, that woman will not be killed by the prince, right?"

Yelv Nanyan took a sip of tea lightly, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the prince knows the limit. This has just begun, and it's not dark yet."

Xiao Wenyao said with a hint of regret: "Oh."

It seems that Lu Chen will not go to other courtyards today, and probably won't come to their Chunsheng Courtyard.

…

Winter is long for most people. Most people can only stay at home. There are no entertainment activities in this era.

But for Lu Chen, time passes very quickly. Because there are fewer political affairs in Beijun in winter, he basically looks at intelligence in the study every morning, and then runs to Chunshengyuan to teach Xiao Wenyao how to ride a horse and drink tea with Yelu Nanyan. He stays in Chunshengyuan for a whole day.

In the evening, Lu Chen returns to the main courtyard and sleeps with his beloved concubine. He lives a very fulfilling life every day.

Half a month later.

Daxia, the capital.

The palace.

Although Beijun is snowing heavily, the capital of Daxia is still like autumn. It is not obvious that winter has come.

Emperor Xia, wearing a yellow dragon robe, stood in the pavilion of the imperial garden, looking at the fallen leaves in the distance, frowning and listening to the report of the shadow guard leader.

After the Shadow Guard Commander finished his report, Emperor Xia said to the eunuch beside him: "Go and see if the two prime ministers have arrived."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

At this time, Situ Ce in the pavilion said: "This old minister believes that this news is most likely true."

Hearing this, Emperor Xia said: "Is the Imperial Master joking? In the last battle in Wanning River Valley, Beijun was able to defeat the 300,000 troops of the Sirius King. As a result, facing the 200,000 troops of the Northern Xian King, not only did it fail to defeat the opponent, but it also lost 50,000 heavy cavalry."

Situ Ce said: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten the suspected appearance of a grandmaster in Wanning River Valley last time?"

"This old minister believes that if there is really a grandmaster in Beijun, it is unlikely that the grandmaster will stay in Beijun forever. "

"The victory in the battle of Wanning River Valley was most likely due to the help of the grandmaster. Without the grandmaster, the heavy cavalry of Beijun would still be vulnerable."

"These heavy cavalry have only appeared recently. It is still unknown how strong they are and whether they can compare with the heavy cavalry of the imperial court. We pay too much attention to the armor on those heavy cavalry and ignore their true strength."

"Even if Beijun has the armor of heavy cavalry, it will not be a matter of a day or a night to train a heavy cavalry and make it combat-effective. Your Majesty should be very aware of this."

After hearing what Situ Ce said, Emperor Xia did not speak, but the expression on his face kept changing.

What Situ Ce said made sense. All of them were frightened by the heavy cavalry that appeared in Beijun. The main reason was that they subconsciously regarded the Beijun black cavalry as the same army as the 20,000 well-trained heavy cavalry in Daxia.

Although they had obtained information about Beijun's black cavalry, neither Lin Xiuming's battle report nor Bai Qingqing's information mentioned the strength of those black cavalry.

They had never thought about whether the heavy cavalry that appeared in such a short time had the same combat effectiveness as the heavy cavalry of the Daxia court.

Now think about it, if those heavy cavalry were not soldiers from other forces who directly entered Beijun, but soldiers recruited from Beijun, just because they put on heavy armor and then formed a heavy cavalry, then their combat effectiveness would definitely not catch up with the real heavy cavalry.
