Chapter 406 Xue Linglong: It Seems that the Northern Palace Has Many Secrets

After Lu Yi sent Lu Chen to the door, he watched Lu Chen's carriage go away. At this time, Xue Linglong said beside Lu Yi: "Husband, didn't you say before that the Northern King was plotting the whole world? Then for him, wouldn't it be enough to go south directly in the name of serving the king? Why should he lend you troops?"

Hearing Xue Linglong's question, Lu Yi looked at the back of Lu Chen's carriage and chuckled, then said: "Because he can't be sure whether there are really celestial beings in the capital."

"The weapons of the Northern Kingdom are indeed powerful, but in front of the celestial beings, those weapons are useless."

"Although he has some relationship with Xuanyue Palace, the celestial being of Xuanyue Palace is unlikely to listen to him in everything, not to mention that if there is a celestial being in the capital, the celestial being of Xuanyue Palace may I am afraid that I will not take the risk to accompany him to the south to defend the king. "

"Although my mutiny failed, there are many people who support me. After all, I am still the eldest son. As long as I occupy Heyang County and call on people in the world in the name of defending the king, there will definitely be many forces to join me."

"At that time, I will be able to gather a huge force and lead troops to the capital again."

"And the force I have gathered can not only help the King of the North consume the military strength of the court, but also may test whether there are celestial beings in the capital, and the King of the North only needs to pay a very small price. I believe he should know how to choose."

After hearing Lu Yi's words, Xue Linglong thought to herself that she originally thought that Lu Yi was just a fool, but she didn't expect that he still had something in his mind.

But the King of the North may not agree.

If the King of the North is very confident in his own strength, then the King of the North will most likely lead his troops to the south to defend the king, and there is no need to let Lu Yi test the strength of the court for him.

Now it depends on what the King of the North thinks.

After Lu Chen returned to the Northern Palace, he immediately asked Zhuge Chongguang to come to the study and told Zhuge Chongguang what Lu Yi had just said to him.

When he heard Lu Chen say that Emperor Xia had an evil treasure that could directly allow people to break through to the Heavenly Man Realm, even Zhuge Chongguang was stunned. If Emperor Xia really had such a treasure, then there might be a Heavenly Man Realm in the capital now.

This is extremely unfavorable for the Northern Kingdom.

Although there are also Heavenly Men in the Northern Kingdom, there are too many unknown possibilities when Heavenly Men compete with Heavenly Men. No one knows whether the Heavenly Men in the Northern Kingdom are stronger or the Heavenly Men in the capital are stronger.

Moreover, that evil treasure may not only be able to create one Heavenly Man, but it is very likely to create more Heavenly Men. If the Northern Kingdom rashly sends troops to the south, it may kick against the iron plate at that time.

Zhuge Chongguang was silent for a moment and then said: "Your Majesty, if there really is such an evil treasure, then we may have to make a long-term plan."

Lu Chen asked: "Has Grand Secretary ever heard of a similar treasure that can make people break through to the Heavenly Man Realm?"

Zhuge Chongguang replied: "No, this old minister has lived for so many years, and this is the first time I have heard of such a treasure."

"If the news of such a treasure had leaked out before, I am afraid that the great masters of the world would have been boiling."

Since ancient times, there have been very few warriors who can break through to become Heavenly Man. Most people practice to become Grand Masters, and then they can only wait for death.

If those old guys knew that there are treasures in this world that can directly make people break through to Heavenly Man, those Grand Masters will definitely go to snatch them at all costs. After all, for those Grand Masters, they will not live for many years anyway.

If they can grab that treasure and help them break through, they will not only have the power to crush the warriors in the world, but also live for who knows how many more years.

Lu Chen thought about it, and then asked the system, "System, do you know if there is a treasure in this world that can directly make people break through to the heavenly man?"

[This question cannot be answered for the time being. ]

Lu Chen was a little speechless. What does it mean to be unable to answer for the time being? Yes, yes, no, no.

After the system noticed what Lu Chen was thinking, it continued to prompt.

[There is no such thing in this world, because the condition for becoming a heavenly man in this world is only to pass the assessment of the will of the heaven. Even if there is a shortcut to become a heavenly man, it is a treasure from other worlds, and if you force yourself to become a heavenly man by other means, there is a great possibility that you will be destroyed by the heavenly way. ]

After hearing the system's answer, Lu Chen fell into deep thought. So, if Emperor Xia really has a treasure that can make people become heavenly men directly, then this treasure cannot be from this world, but from other worlds.

Wait...

Lu Chen suddenly thought of something. The news he got was told to him by Lu Yi, and Lu Yi learned it from the heavy cavalry. Is there a possibility that the heavy cavalry that transported the treasure actually did not know what the specific function of the treasure was.

Maybe the so-called news that people can break through to the heavenly realm is just a rumor, and the treasure actually has other uses?

Thinking of this, Lu Chen breathed a sigh of relief. If that's the case, then there's nothing to worry about.

Seeing that Lu Chen didn't speak for a long time, Zhuge Chongguang said beside him: "Prince, why don't you temporarily agree to the eldest prince to help him occupy Heyang County, and then help him gather forces. When the eldest prince and King Zhao attack the capital, we will naturally know whether there are heavenly beings in the capital."

Lu Chen came back to his senses, "Okay, then I will agree to the eldest prince to help him occupy Heyang County."

"However, I don't think that my father already possesses a treasure that can directly make people become gods. I suspect that he must have obtained some kind of weapon."

Lu Chen wanted Lu Yi and other vassal kings to test Emperor Xia to see what tricks Emperor Xia could play.

And he is not in a hurry now. Yelu Nanyan and Xiao Wenyao still have children in their bellies. He can make two preparations. On the one hand, he will let Lu Yi test Emperor Xia. On the other hand, after the child is born, Beiguo's strength will inevitably increase. was further improved again.

The system once said that the more heirs he has, the richer the rewards he will receive in the future. The system has previously rewarded him as a strong man in the heavenly realm.

If there is good luck here, maybe the children in Yelu Nanyan and Xiao Wenyao's wombs will also be able to obtain heavenly beings when they are born.

Of course, this is just Lu Chen's guess.

After all, there was still nearly a year left, and Lu Chen could still afford to wait for this year.

However, although he had decided to help Lu Yi occupy Heyang County, Lu Chen did not plan to send troops south immediately. He planned to delay for a while and let Lu Yi wait.

For the next few days, Lu Chen just kept ignoring Lu Yi.

Lu Yi was very confident at first, thinking that after hearing what he said, Lu Chen would probably immediately agree to send troops to help him occupy Heyang County.

As a result, a few days passed, and there was no movement at all at Beiwang Mansion. As time passed, Lu Yi couldn't stay in the mansion any longer, so he thought of a good way and sent Xue Linglong to take the initiative to go to Beiwang Mansion. , pretending to have a good relationship with Lu Chen's female family members, and then took the opportunity to inquire about Lu Chen's attitude.

North Palace.

Mu Zixuan was checking the account books in the yard. At this time, a maid suddenly entered the yard and said: "Princess, there is someone outside who claims to be Miss Xue asking to see you. She said she is an acquaintance of yours."

Hearing this, Mu Zixuan was stunned for a moment.

Miss Xue?

Who is that?

But Mu Zixuan soon realized that there seemed to be only one person named Xue that she knew, and that was the Crown Princess.

Although the prince and princess came to the North, the prince was still a traitor after all, so he could not appear in public.

Therefore, if Crown Princess Xue Linglong wants to meet her, she cannot directly say that she is the Crown Princess. She can only give her a surname.

Thinking of this, Mu Zixuan said: "Take her to Baiyuan Garden, and call Mrs. Chu and ask her to meet Miss Xue with me."

"Yes, Princess."

Then the maid turned around and left the yard.

Mu Zixuan also stood up from the chair at this time and tidied up the account books in front of her.

When Mu Zixuan walked out of Fengyun Courtyard, she happened to meet Chu Yuqin. Chu Yuqin asked curiously: "Zixuan, I heard the maid said that you asked me to meet someone with you?"

Mu Zixuan said directly: "Well, let's meet the eldest princess."

Hearing this, Chu Yuqin's face instantly became serious, and she said thoughtfully: "It seems that she wants to find out some information."

Chu Yuqin continued to ask: "Where is she now?"

Mu Zixuan replied: "I asked the maid to take her to Baiyuan Garden to wait. Let's go there now."

After finishing her words, Mu Zixuan walked directly towards the Baiyuan Garden in the outer courtyard.

"good."

Chu Yuqin followed without any hesitation.

Soon, the two came to Baiyuan Garden. At this time, Xue Linglong was already waiting in the pavilion of Baiyuan Garden. When she felt someone arriving, she immediately stood up from the stone bench.

Just when she looked at Chu Yuqin, she was suddenly startled.

Grandmaster?

Xue Linglong had naturally met Chu Yuqin. Back then, Chu Yuqin was called the female sword fairy by many people in the capital and was very famous.

But at that time, Chu Yuqin was only at the ninth level.

When Chu Yuqin came to the Northern Kingdom with King Bei, she had not even reached the level of a half-step master. How could she become a grand master so quickly?

How did she do it?

Xue Linglong immediately calmed down her inner shock and hurriedly walked towards Mu Zixuan and the others. Mu Zixuan and Chu Yuqin walked up to Xue Linglong, saluted and said, "I have met the Crown Princess!"

Hearing this, Xue Linglong quickly held the arms of the two of them and said, "You two sisters, please don't. Now that I am a guilty person, there is still some kind of crown princess there. I can't bear your worship."

Mu Zixuan said with a smile: "As long as His Majesty does not appoint another crown prince, then Sister Xue, you will still be the crown princess."

Xue Linglong said: "Nowadays, this identity is quite sensitive, so my sister should not call me the Crown Princess. From now on, we should still refer to each other as sisters.

Speaking of this, Xue Linglong grabbed Mu Zixuan's wrist and said: "Sister Zixuan, you were still relatively young when you left the capital. Unexpectedly, after just a few years, you have become more and more temperamental. The charm of a mature woman.”

"King Bei is so lucky to marry you!"

Mu Zixuan said: "Sister is joking, I am very lucky to be able to marry the prince."

The Xue family and the Mu family are both well-known families in the capital, and the two families had some contacts in the past, so Mu Zixuan and Xue Linglong have met many times, but they are not particularly familiar with each other.

Seeing sister Xue Linglong coming and going, looking like she had a good relationship with her, Mu Zixuan became more vigilant.

At this time, Mu Zixuan took Xue Linglong's hand and walked towards the pavilion. As she walked, she said, "Sister Xue, let's go to the pavilion and sit and chat."

Xue Linglong said: "Okay."

Then the three of them came to the pavilion and sat down. Mu Zixuan said to the maid beside her: "Xiao Rou, quickly ask someone to make tea. I want the best tea in the palace."

The maid understood what Mu Zixuan meant instantly, "Yes, Princess, I will go right away."

Mu Zixuan said at this time: "Sister Xue, you must have experienced a lot of hardships on your way to the North Country."

Hearing this, Xue Linglong sighed and did not speak, with a sad look on her face.

Mu Zixuan quickly comforted her and said, "I'm sorry, Sister Xue, I shouldn't have mentioned this. Sister Xue, don't be sad, it's all over."

Xue Linglong grabbed Mu Zixuan's hand and said, "Sister Zixuan is right, it's all over."

"This is all thanks to my ninth brother. If it weren't for my ninth brother taking us in, I'm afraid that dozens of people in our East Palace would end up with their heads chopped off."

Speaking of this, Xue Linglong looked into Mu Zixuan's eyes, "Sister Zixuan, I really envy you. After marrying the Queen of the North, you came to such a prosperous and beautiful place in the North Country, lived a happy life of raising children with your husband, away from disputes, and didn't have to worry every day."

Mu Zixuan said, "Sister, you don't know, when we first came to the North Country, the North Country was not like this. The North Country can become so prosperous, all thanks to the prince."

Xue Linglong said, "Alas, when the Beijing Everyone in the city has misjudged the ninth brother. No one can match his talent. If the ninth brother had not left the Northern Kingdom, perhaps the position of the crown prince would have been his, and Daxia would not have ended up with the current situation of treacherous ministers in power. "

Mu Zixuan said: "Sister Xue is joking. The prince does not have that mind. Compared with the position of the crown prince, the prince prefers to marry more wives and concubines and then be a free and easy king."

Speaking of this, Mu Zixuan asked: "Sister Xue has also been in the Northern Kingdom for a few days. I wonder if you are used to everything in the Northern Kingdom?"

"If you need anything, you can always ask."

Xue Linglong replied: "I am used to food, clothing, housing and transportation, but after coming to the Northern Kingdom, I don’t even have anyone to talk to in Lu Mansion."

Xue Linglong’s social circle is within the scope of the capital. Now that she has left the capital and come to the Northern Kingdom, there are almost no people she knows, let alone any friends.

Mu Zixuan immediately said, "If Sister Xue feels lonely in the North Country, you can come to the North Palace to talk to me more often."

Xue Linglong sighed slightly, "Fortunately, I know Sister Zixuan. If Sister Zixuan is not in Yancheng, I really don't know who to talk to."

At this time, the maid came to the pavilion with a kettle, quickly brewed tea, and poured a cup for each of Mu Zixuan and the other three.

Mu Zixuan said, "Sister Xue, this is the best tea in the palace. This tea has the function of refreshing the mind. Try it."

Hearing this, Xue Linglong was not at all alert. As a member of the Demon Sect, she was more sensitive to poison. She could instantly feel whether there was poison in this tea.

Xue Linglong picked up the teacup, covered it with one hand, and took a sip.

The next moment, Xue Linglong's heart trembled. This tea actually had the function of refreshing the mind, and even made the circulation of spiritual energy in the body smoother.

Xue Linglong then put down the teacup and said to Mu Zixuan: "Sister Zixuan, such precious tea must be very rare. It's a pity to brew it for me."

Mu Zixuan smiled and said: "This tea is indeed more precious, but that is compared to people outside. People in our palace drink this tea."

Xue Linglong thought to herself, no wonder Chu Yuqin was able to break through to the Grandmaster level in such a short time. It seems that there are many secrets in the Northern Palace.

It was right to follow Lu Yi to the north.

At this time, Chu Yuqin looked at Xue Linglong seriously. She was a little confused. Lu Chen told them that Xue Linglong was a Grandmaster. Why didn't she detect any Grandmaster's aura on Xue Linglong, as if Xue Linglong was an ordinary person?

Could it be that she practiced some kind of technique to hide her aura?

To be able to hide the aura of a warrior so thoroughly, the technique she practiced could only come from a very powerful force. The force behind Xue Linglong was not simple. Chu Yuqin became more vigilant, fearing that Xue Linglong would be bad for Mu Zixuan. (End of this chapter)
