Chapter 251: The Apocalypse King's Army Marches Eastward

After the Chu family's letter of withdrawal of engagement was published in the newspaper, the news of the withdrawal of engagement soon spread in the North Country. However, people's focus was not on Chu Yuqin, the victim of the family marriage, but on the separation of the Chu family and the Wang family.

Of course, it is also a good thing for Lu Chen that people's attention is not on Chu Yuqin. The fewer people discussing it now, the fewer rumors will be spread when Chu Yuqin marries into the Wang Mansion in the future. At that time, people will only remember that Chu Yuqin is just a victim of the Chu family for marriage.

It was another morning with warm breeze blowing on his face. Lu Chen got up from Yelu Nanyan's soft jade and warm fragrance, and glanced at the beautiful woman in front of him who had been hugged for a night.

During this period of time, Lu Chen focused his energy on Yelu Nanyan and other women with skills. Mu Zixuan and other three ordinary people gave birth to two children for him, and it was time to take a break.

But then again, it is too difficult for warriors to get pregnant. Yelu Nanyan cooperated with him so much. He tried all kinds of methods, but Yelu Nanyan just couldn't get pregnant.

Of course, this is not just a problem for Yelu Nanyan, but for all the women with skills in the palace.

Lu Chen had some doubts, whether it was because women’s body structure changed after practicing martial arts, so it was difficult to get pregnant, but he used the rejuvenation hand to check Yelu Nanyan and the others, and their bodies seemed to be not much different from ordinary women. Except that their meridians were more developed and they had skills, their body structure did not seem to have changed.

After seeing Lu Chen wake up, Yelu Nanyan said with a blush on her face: "Prince, there is no small court meeting today, how about sleeping a little longer?"

Seeing the white in front of him, Lu Chen really wanted to sleep a little longer, but he remembered that he had to go to the new city today to see the construction of the new city.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen smiled and said: "Nanyan, things should be done in moderation, and you can't be too greedy."

At this point, Lu Chen's claws gently slid over Yelu Nanyan's soft body.

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Yelu Nanyan's cheeks became even redder.

Of course she knew that Lu Chen was teasing her, but she was trembling when she thought of what happened at night.

At this moment, the voices of the maids came from outside Chunsheng Courtyard, "Commander Bai, is the prince in Chunsheng Courtyard? Commander Qin wants to see him for something important."

"The prince is still sleeping, let him wait a while."

"I think Commander Qin is very anxious, there must be something important."

"Okay, I'll call the prince for you."

Then Bai Qingqing, who was at the gate of the courtyard, came to the outside of Yelu Nanyan's bedroom, "Prince, Commander Qin wants to see you for something."

After hearing this, Lu Chen said directly: "Let Commander Qin wait for me in the study, I will come right away."

"Yes, Prince."

Lu Chen immediately got up from the bed. Seeing Lu Chen get up, Yelu Nanyan also got up quickly and dressed Lu Chen.

The clothes of this era are the kind of long clothes that are wrapped and tied with belts. For people like Lu Chen who have people to serve him, it is easier for him to put on clothes, but if it is an ordinary person, it will take some time to put on clothes.

Looking at Yelu Nanyan who was tying his belt, Lu Chen thought to himself that he had to find a way to guide the dressing style of the people in the north.

There was nothing wrong with wearing this kind of ancient style clothes for Lu Chen. Women wearing this kind of long skirt looked like fairies and very beautiful. However, Lu Chen felt that wearing clothes of this era would waste too much time in some scenes, such as in the military camp.

Lu Chen thought to himself that he had to find an opportunity to talk to Mu Zixuan and ask her to set up a factory to make clothes. In the future, all the clothes of the soldiers in the military camp will be changed to the kind that can be put on at once.

When Yelu Nanyan helped Lu Chen tie the belt, he found that Lu Chen was in a daze. Yelu Nanyan asked in confusion: "Prince, what's wrong?"

Hearing Yelu Nanyan's voice, Lu Chen came back to his senses. He smiled and said: "It's okay. I suddenly thought of something just now."

At this point, Lu Chen supported Yelu Nanyan's cheek, lowered his head and kissed Yelu Nanyan deeply.

Lu Chen has this habit. He often kisses the woman he slept with last night after getting up in the morning. Although I don’t know where Lu Chen’s habit comes from, Lu Chen’s women are very cooperative with him.

After Lu Chen finished kissing, Lu Chen smiled and said, "I’ll be busy first, you should have a good rest."

As soon as the voice fell, Lu Chen turned and left. Yelu Nanyan immediately said, "My lord, take care."

After a while, Lu Chen appeared in the study. As soon as he arrived at the courtyard where the academy was located, he saw Qin Yushan holding a bow and a few arrows and fiddling with them.

"Qin Yushan, is that the Piercing Cloud Bow in your hand?"

Lu Chen knew the news that the court had created the Piercing Cloud Bow a long time ago. The Piercing Cloud Bow was a special weapon created by the Ministry of Industry under the leadership of Lu Shuyun. It is said that it is very powerful and can easily kill warriors below the eighth rank.

Lu Chen asked the Jinyiwei to send several sets of Piercing Cloud Bows to the Northern Kingdom a long time ago, but the Piercing Cloud Bow was a weapon that was strictly controlled, and even Liang Zong, a master, could not get it.

Seeing Lu Chen coming, Qin Yushan immediately put the bow on the desk, then bowed and said: "Greetings, Your Majesty!"

Lu Chen nodded and said: "No need for courtesy."

Qin Yushan continued: "Your Majesty guessed correctly, this is the Cloud Piercing Bow and Cloud Piercing Arrow."

"Commander Liang came back with a message. Half a month ago, when the imperial army and the rebels were fighting, both sides used the cloud-piercing bow and cloud-piercing arrow for the first time. The Jin Yiwei also seized this opportunity to get one."

Hearing Qin Yushan's words, Lu Chen immediately came to the desk, picked up the Chuanyun Bow on the desk and looked at it carefully. He pulled the bow string, and the bow string was very elastic.

However, the power of a bow and arrow does not only depend on the quality of the bow, but also on the quality of the arrow. Lu Chen then picked up the Cloud Piercer Arrow on the table and scratched the scissors with his fingers.

Just like this, Lu Chen's fingers were scratched.

Seeing this scene, Lu Chen frowned slightly.

What material is the arrowhead of this cloud-piercing arrow made of? Why is it so sharp? He was a Grand Master. Although he didn't use spiritual energy just now, with his Grand Master's physique, it would be difficult for an ordinary sword to cut through the skin with gentle force.

Lu Chen then asked the system in his mind, "System, can you identify the materials used to make the Cloud-Piercing Bow and Cloud-Piercing Arrow?"

[It has been detected that the materials used to make the Cloud-Piercing Bow and Cloud-Piercing Arrow come from outside the world and do not belong to this world. 】

Lu Chen was immediately speechless. It was as if he hadn't said anything. He actually guessed that the materials used to make the Cloud-Piercing Bow and Cloud-Piercing Arrow were unlikely to be from this world.

At this time, Lu Chen said to Qin Yushan: "Have you ever tried the power of the Cloud Crossing Bow?"

Qin Yushan replied: "After my subordinates got these two things, they rushed to the North Palace immediately, before they had time to test the power of the Cloud-piercing Bow.˜"*°•.˜˜.•°*"˜"

Lu Chen immediately took the Cloud-Piercing Bow and Cloud-Piercing Arrow, and said, "Let's go to the backyard to test it out."

Immediately afterwards, they came to the martial arts training ground in the backyard of the palace. Lu Chen asked his servants to prepare several sets of armor worn by the black cavalry and lined them up in a row.

Then Lu Chen took up his bow and shot an arrow. With Grandmaster Lu Chen's strength, he easily opened the Cloud-Piercing Bow. The moment Lu Chen let go, the Cloud-Piercing Arrow flew out with a bang.

The next moment, all the armors lined up in a row were pierced by the cloud-piercing arrows. Fortunately, Lu Chen just realized that the power of the cloud-piercing arrows might be relatively strong, so he had someone put some more steel plates on the back of the armor, otherwise the cloud-piercing arrows would I was afraid that it would shoot directly through the courtyard wall and hurt the people outside.

At this time, Lu Chen's face became a little serious. The moment he released the arrow, a sonic boom was actually produced. The rebound force of the bowstring of the Cloud-piercing Bow was actually greater than the kinetic energy generated by the gunpowder explosion?

Is that an exaggeration?

Lu Chen thought that he was a Grand Master, and even if a Grand Master used ordinary bows and arrows, they would be very powerful, so he immediately handed the Cloud-Piercing Bow to Qin Yushan who was standing aside, "Commander Qin, come and try this How powerful is the Cloud-piercing Bow?"

Qin Yushan immediately understood what Lu Chen meant. He took the bow and arrow, picked up a cloud-piercing arrow, and shot it at the armor in the distance.

Lu Chen discovered that Qin Yushan did not draw the bow string to the full moon state. Even the master could not draw it to the full moon. This bow was obviously not something ordinary people could use.

I'm afraid that to use this Cloud-piercing Bow, you need at least the strength of a fifth-grade warrior.

Qin Yushan let go at this time, and the cloud-piercing arrow flew out with a whoosh, but this time the cloud-piercing arrow was obviously not as powerful as before. This time the cloud-piercing arrow only penetrated six sets of armor.

After seeing this, Lu Chen thought for a moment, and then said to the guard of the seventh-grade palace on the side: "Come and try."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The guard immediately took the Cloud Chuan Bow from Qin Yushan, picked up the last arrow, and aimed it at the armors.

At this time, Lu Chen found that the seventh-grade guard was obviously struggling to pull the bow. It was exactly as he thought. The Cloud-Crossing Bow was a weapon made for warriors. Ordinary people, or low-grade warriors, could not use the Cloud-Crossing Bow.

As the palace guard let go, the Cloud-Piercing Arrow flew out again with a whoosh. This time, the Cloud-Piercing Arrow only penetrated three pieces of armor.

Lu Chen thought to himself that if that force had such powerful bows and arrows, they might not have to worry about heavy cavalry at all.

The heavy cavalry's armor was shot through at once, and before the heavy cavalry could get close, the heavy cavalry turned into hedgehogs.

Lu Chen felt a little lucky. Fortunately, their northern country had entered the age of firearms. Even if they faced this kind of cloud-penetrating bow, they didn't have to be afraid. During the war, if they encountered a hard nut that they couldn't chew off, they could completely cover it with firepower.

The form of war will definitely change in the future, even if there is a grand master in this world. No matter how powerful the grand master is, he can only deal with some people, and the power in the grand master's body will be exhausted.

Facing the rounds of cannon bombardment, no matter how powerful the grand master is, he cannot withstand it, unless he is a strong man in the heaven and human realm. However, at present, even the grand masters of the major dynasties do not often show their faces, let alone the strong men in the heaven and human realm.

At this time, Lu Chen asked: "Commander Qin, what is the current war situation in Jiangnan?"

Qin Yushan replied: "Currently, the imperial army has the upper hand, and the Jiangnan rebels are retreating steadily. This is why the Jiangnan rebels use the Cloud-piercing Bow."

Lu Chen said: "I didn't expect that after the battle with Dawu, the fighting power of the imperial army would still be so strong."

Qin Yushan said from the side: "Maybe it's not because the imperial army is too powerful, but because the Jiangnan rebels are too weak. Now the Jiangnan rebels fight based on their own families. Those families have their own territories, and others They are very unhappy when the family forces enter their territory. In this case, it is difficult for them to have any fighting power. "

Lu Chen said: "That's right, I overestimate those aristocratic families."

At this moment, a palace guard entered the backyard and said, "Your Majesty, Jinyi Guard Wu Qianhu wants to see you."

Lu Chen said: "Let him come directly to the backyard."

"yes."

Soon, Wu Yuan appeared in the backyard. After taking a look at Qin Yushan, he said to Lu Chen: "Meet the prince!"

Lu Chen asked: "What's the matter?"

Wu Yuan took out a piece of paper intelligence from his sleeve, and then said: "The news just arrived, people from the Jiangnan family have appeared in Qi State. The Jiangnan rebels seem to be planning to win over King Qi and let King Qi lead his troops south."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen took the information from Wu Yuan and asked, "How did King Qi treat those people?"

Wu Yuan replied: "King Qi arranged them in the best restaurant in Qi State and met with them many times. As for King Qi's attitude, Jin Yiwei has not been able to find out yet."

Lu Chen opened the information in his hand and glanced at it.

Lu Chen did not think that King Qi would follow the Jiangnan family in rebellion. Although the vassal king of Daxia had long been dissatisfied with the royal family, the current vassal king's strength was not as good as before.

If you rebel rashly, not only will your current glory and wealth be gone, but you may also lose your life.

But it's hard to say. Power is too tempting, and no one can tell whether King Qi has dreams of becoming an emperor.

But if King Qi wants to rebel, he will definitely send envoys to the Northern Kingdom. The Northern Kingdom is close to the Qi Kingdom and is now an existence that the Qi Kingdom cannot ignore.

Qi State's troops are basically in the north, obviously guarding the Northern Kingdom. If Qi State wants to send troops south to attack the capital, then King Qi will have to consider the possibility of Northern Kingdom going south to King Qin.

Just when Lu Chen was about to return to the study, the palace guards entered the palace with a soldier carrying a red flag.

When the red damask messenger saw Lu Chen, he immediately knelt down and handed over the mailbox containing the information in his hand, "Your Majesty, the barbarian King Tianqi led an army of 400,000 people to march eastward. Some of the vanguard cavalry have already arrived in the North. In less than half a month, they will Will arrive in the North Country!”

After hearing this, the faces of everyone in the courtyard instantly became extremely serious. Lu Chen immediately took the mailbox from the Hong Ling messenger, and then took out the information from it. At the same time, he said to Wu Yuan and Qin Yushan: "Commander Qin, Wu Qianhu, immediately ask the generals from Yancheng to go to the Yizheng Hall."

The two said in unison: "Yes, Your Majesty!"

Then the two of them immediately left the North Prince's Mansion, while Lu Chen stood there and carefully read the battle report in front of him.

After reading the information sent from the Northland, Lu Chen suddenly remembered something.

This so-called Apocalypse King seems to have attacked the Dayue Dynasty not long ago, but was defeated by the empress of the Dayue Dynasty.

Unexpectedly, after being defeated by the Dayue Dynasty, they did not settle down, but came to the Northland, and might even attack the Northland.

Lu Chen came to the North with an army of 400,000 people. Lu Chen didn't believe that they were just here for tourism. Most likely, King Apocalypse felt that it was a bit embarrassing to lose in the Dayue Dynasty, so he wanted to regain his confidence from Daxia.

Moreover, the barbarians originally liked to go south to plunder. They did not grab too many things they needed in the Dayue Dynasty, so they would naturally plunder other places. Lu Chen judged that King Apocalypse was most likely coming to the Northern Kingdom.

Some time ago, he learned from the intelligence collected by Wang Qingci that after the Dayue Dynasty defeated the barbarian coalition, it had been on guard against the eastward march of the barbarians from the northwest. Unexpectedly, they actually came, and an army of 400,000 people arrived.

Their people were able to collect such accurate intelligence, all thanks to the barbarians living in the North. It seems that his initial approach of integrating the Northland barbarians into the North Country was indeed of great use.

After reading the urgent information in his hand, Lu Chen immediately went to the Council Hall and waited for the arrival of the generals.

At the same time, not far away from Beiwang Mansion, some people were staring at the door of Beiwang Mansion.

These people are the shadow guards. Wang Jiantao has been looking for opportunities to assassinate Bai Qingqing recently, but because he is afraid of Zhuge Chongguang, he has never dared to sneak into the North Palace directly.

Although he had practiced the art of hiding his figure, he was not confident that he would not be noticed by Zhuge Chongguang, the great master, after taking care of Bai Qingqing.

If he is an ordinary grand master, maybe he can give it a try. An ordinary grand master may not be able to detect him when he enters the stealth state, but Zhuge Chongguang is a grand master who is about to break through to the realm of heaven and man.

It is easy to kill Bai Qingqing, but after killing Bai Qingqing, he, Wang Jiantao, may have to stay in Beiwang Mansion.

Wang Jiantao thought that he was only here to get rid of the traitors, not to be a dead soldier, so there was no need for him to risk his life and break into the Beiwang Mansion to carry out assassinations.

Just when Wang Jiantao was looking at the gate of Beiwang Mansion in a daze, the shadow guard behind him reminded in a low voice: "Commander, look, there are two grandmasters coming to the door of Beiwang Mansion!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Jiantao's eyes instantly locked on the two people at the door of Beiwang Mansion.

The two men were riding black horses and wearing thick armor. The aura of their master could be clearly felt from their bodies.

Wang Jiantao frowned slightly. He noticed that the strength of these two grandmasters was very unusual, even stronger than the grandmaster who just left the palace, so that he felt a little trembling in his heart after seeing those two people.

He himself was a person who did dirty work for the emperor, and many people died in his hands, but the murderous aura on him was nothing compared to those two people. Those two people seemed to have walked out of the underworld, and the murderous aura on their bodies was so strong that they felt palpitations even from such a distance.

At this time, Xuanyuan Chen got off his horse at the gate of the palace, then turned his head to look in a certain direction, and did not enter the palace for a long time.

Seeing this scene, Wen Renlie, who had already stepped into the gate of the palace, asked: "What's wrong?"

Xuanyuan Chen turned his head and said: "I just felt someone was watching us."

Wen Renlie said lightly: "It's normal, there are many scoundrels staring at the Beiwang Palace every day."

The North Country is no longer the North Country of the past, and the North King is no longer the North King of the past, so there are many spies from other countries who monitor the North King's every move every day. This is nothing new.

Xuanyuan Chen said as he walked towards the palace: "Yes, those scoundrels can be dealt with by the Jinyiwei, and business is more important."
