Having many children brings many blessings; the struggle for power begins with marriage.

Chapter 326 Wu Junwan's Second Mission to Dayue

Upon hearing Chai Jiliang's words, Wu Junwan did not speak immediately.

Seeing that Wu Yunwan did not speak, Chai Jiliang assumed that Wu Yunwan was worried about the Cloud Piercing Bow, so he continued, "Your Highness, although the Cloud Piercing Bow and Cloud Piercing Arrow are powerful, the materials used to make these two weapons are very rare, and the Northern Kingdom's army cannot equip them on a large scale."

Wu Junwan then came to her senses and said worriedly, "If it were just the Cloud Piercing Bow and Cloud Piercing Arrow, I would naturally not be worried. As far as I know, the mysterious weapon that the Northern Kingdom possesses is not the so-called Cloud Piercing Bow and Cloud Piercing Arrow."

"The Cloud Piercing Bow and Cloud Piercing Arrow are weapons manufactured by aristocratic families in Jiangnan, Great Xia. Although they are very powerful, they are not easy to use."

"But the weapons of the Northern Kingdom are different. It seems that even ordinary people can use the weapons of the Northern Kingdom, and their power is not much weaker than the so-called Cloud Piercing Bow."

Upon hearing Wu Yunwan's words, Chai Jiliang was taken aback, and then he frowned. "So, the Northern Kingdom is a greater threat than we anticipated."

"Then Your Majesty should indeed destroy the Northern Kingdom before it grows strong, otherwise once the Northern Kingdom develops, it may turn around and attack other dynasties."

Originally, Chai Jiliang did not approve of attacking the Northern Kingdom, because he always felt that the Northern Kingdom had some kind of conspiracy. However, when he heard that the weapons used by ordinary people in the Northern Kingdom had the power of the Cloud Piercing Bow, he felt a great sense of crisis.

Some time ago, a spy from Da Wu obtained a Cloud Piercing Bow and several Cloud Piercing Arrows from Da Xia. He personally tested the power of the Cloud Piercing Bow and Cloud Piercing Arrows.

With the Cloud Piercing Arrow fired from the Cloud Piercing Bow, killing a Grandmaster wouldn't be a problem. If even ordinary people in the Northern Kingdom possess the strength to kill Grandmasters, and the Northern Kingdom accumulates more and more weapons, the future situation of the Great Wu Kingdom will become extremely dangerous.

Moreover, the Northern King has already revealed his ambition to conquer the world. With such ambition and such terrifying weapons, it's impossible for him not to launch a war once the Northern Kingdom grows stronger.

Therefore, it would be best for Great Wu to eliminate this threat at all costs. If it fails to do so this time, Great Wu may never be able to destroy the Northern Kingdom again.

Just as Wu Junwan was about to say something, a maid's voice suddenly rang out at the door, "Your Highness, His Majesty requests your presence in his study."

Seeing that Wu Yunwan had something to attend to, Chai Jiliang immediately said, "Since Your Highness has other matters to attend to, then I will not disturb you any longer. I will take my leave."

After saying this, Chai Jiliang turned and left Qingyun Palace.

After Chai Jiliang left, Wu Yunwan slowly got up from her chair, then had her maid tidy her clothes before heading to Emperor Wu's study.

Wu Yunwan had a pretty good idea of ​​why her father wanted to see her at this time. Clearly, her father wanted her to go to Dayue again and continue to seek an alliance with Dayue.

When Wu Yunwan arrived at the study, Emperor Wu didn't beat around the bush and directly told her about the attack on the Northern Kingdom. He hoped that she could go on a diplomatic mission to Dayue again and then join forces with Dayue to destroy the Northern Kingdom.

As the eldest princess of the Great Wu, Wu Yunwan naturally had to participate in important events that happened in the Great Wu, and she agreed without hesitation.

If this can lead to an alliance between Dayue and Dawu, it will undoubtedly enhance her prestige once again.

However, Wu Yunwan was somewhat worried. Although she and Emperor Yue were good friends, Emperor Yue was no longer the same Emperor Yue of the past. Emperor Yue's most important identity was still the Lord of Great Yue.

The current Emperor Yue certainly doesn't just consider personal relationships when it comes to issues. This can be seen from the fact that the Emperor Yue refused her alliance with Da Wu last time. For the current Emperor Yue, their friendship is clearly not as important as the national interests of Da Yue.

Wu Yunwan was unsure whether this mission to Dayue would necessarily lead to an alliance with Dayue.

However, even if she cannot form an alliance with Dayue, she will try to persuade the Dawu army to pass through Dayue.

The Dayue Dynasty and the Northern Kingdom share a large border. If they want to attack the Northern Kingdom, they cannot just attack from Yong'an County. Yong'an County is too small, and it is guarded by the Northern Kingdom's heavy cavalry. Once war breaks out, the Northern Kingdom will definitely send reinforcements to Yong'an County and set up defenses there.

The best way to destroy the Northern Kingdom is to bypass Yong'an County, pass through Dayue, and then directly attack the Northern Kingdom's homeland.

Since Yong'an County is heavily guarded, we should send troops to hold off these soldiers and prevent them from returning to their posts.

Therefore, Wu Yunwan has a heavy task on her mission to Dayue this time. She must obtain Dayue's support no matter what.

A few days later, Wu Yunwan was sent as an envoy to Dayue again.

……

North.

Lu Chen finished processing the official documents early today. The documents that were sent up were all relatively important matters. Most of the remaining tasks were left to Zhuge Chongguang, so Lu Chen was not as busy as before.

After finishing his official business, Lu Chen went to Wang Qingci's courtyard immediately.

Before he even entered the courtyard, he heard Wang Qingci holding and comforting the child.

After Lu Chen entered the courtyard, Wang Qingci seemed not to have noticed his arrival and continued to coax the child in her arms in the pavilion.

Wang Qingci said to the child in his arms, "Zhi'er, when you grow up, you must behave yourself and not be like your father, who goes around philandering."

Hearing this, Lu Chen chuckled and then said, "When have I ever been a womanizer? Mrs. Wang, you're ruining my reputation in front of the children!"

Upon hearing Lu Chen's voice, the maids beside Wang Qingci snapped out of their daze and quickly bowed, saying, "Greetings, Your Highness!"

Wang Qingci quickly picked up the child and said, "This servant greets Your Highness."

Wang Qingci didn't care at all about what she had just said; let Lu Chen hear it if he wanted to.

Wang Qingci, holding the child, said, "Your Highness must have misheard. I was just telling Zhi'er that she should learn more from Your Highness in the future."

Lu Chen smiled, then walked up to Wang Qingci, put his arm around her waist, and said, "Really? So I must have been hallucinating?"

At this point, Lu Chen's claws began to roam over Wang Qingci's body.

"Lord Wang has rested for so long, I wonder how well he has recovered? I still have a lot of work to entrust to Lord Wang."

Upon hearing Lu Chen's question, Wang Qingci knew what this wicked fellow had come for. She quickly replied, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I have almost fully recovered."

With Lu Chen's help, Wang Qingci's body recovered to its previous state after giving birth. However, considering that the child was still young and Wang Qingci would have to take care of the child, Lu Chen did not come to see her.

But now that the child has a wet nurse to take care of him, Wang Qingci has become more free.

Lu Chen then said, "Is that so? Then I'll have to examine it carefully."

At this point, Lu Chen said to the wet nurse in the pavilion, "Take good care of the child. I have something to discuss with Lord Wang."

Upon hearing this, the wet nurse immediately walked up to Wang Qingci, ready to take the child.

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Wang Qingci sighed inwardly, but had no choice but to hand the child over to the wet nurse.

As soon as she handed the child in her arms to the wet nurse, Lu Chen picked up Wang Qingci's soft and delicate body in a princess carry and headed straight for the room.

This made the maids in the pavilion blush. Seeing this, the wet nurse chuckled softly. In their eyes, this was a sign of the deep affection between the prince and his wife.
