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

Chapter 86 Remnants of the Great Yu Dynasty

The North Prince's Mansion, East Courtyard.

Chen Wanrong and Lin Wanyun sat in the pavilion for an hour, but no maids or servants from the Northern Prince's mansion came to summon them to treat the Northern Prince's concubine.

This puzzled the two of them.

When the amniotic sac breaks, it is extremely dangerous, and in this era, it is very common for both mother and unborn child to die.

Why wouldn't the Northern King let the two of them go over and help take a look?

Both of them are from Xuan Yue Palace, and one of them is the palace master of Xuan Yue Palace. It would be no problem for them to treat a woman whose water has broken.

Does the Northern King not trust them?

At this moment, Lin Wanyun noticed that the maid who had gone to help in the north courtyard had returned. She immediately got up from the stone bench, walked over to the maid, and asked, "Young lady, how is your young Madam Zhou doing?"

The maid knew that some things couldn't be said, so she simply replied, "Madam Zhou is out of danger and has successfully given birth to a child for the Prince."

Lin Wanyun was somewhat surprised to hear the maid's answer.

It seems there are indeed some highly skilled people in the Prince's mansion.

Lin Wanyun then turned and went back into the pavilion. "Palace Master, it seems we will only have a chance after the barbarians retreat."

The opportunity Lin Wanyun was referring to was naturally the chance to show her face in front of the Northern King.

If Chen Wanrong wants to seduce Lu Chen into developing feelings for her, she needs to show her face in front of him more often.

When they first came to Beijun, they thought it would be easy to win over the lecherous King of the North, after all, Chen Wanrong's beauty was among the best in Daxia, and she was even on the list of beauties.

That lecherous man was not fooled when he saw Chen Wanrong.

However, after their conversation with Lu Chen, they realized that simply using their beauty to seduce the Northern King was probably not such an easy thing.

Even if the Northern King is lustful, he still has his brains. He might just discover that they have ulterior motives towards him.

Therefore, if they want to get close to the Northern King, they cannot just use their beauty to seduce him; they must also demonstrate their other values.

Ideally, they should be able to make the Northern King fall in love with their Palace Mistress without anyone noticing.

If the Northern King is to develop feelings for Chen Wanrong, it will take time to cultivate those feelings. However, with the barbarians about to invade the south, there is not much time left.

It seems we can only wait until the war is over to discuss this further.

However, whether the Northern King will survive in the end is still a big question.

Thinking of this, Chen Wanrong became slightly lost in thought.

She recalled the time when the Great Xia attacked the Chen Kingdom. Her father had also sent his wives and daughters away from the capital first, and then fought a decisive battle with the Great Xia army in the capital, ultimately dying on the city wall.

Although she was still young at the time, she still vividly remembers what happened.

Unexpectedly, not many years later, she encountered a similar situation to that year, except that the one fighting against the foreign invasion was no longer her father, but the son of her father's killer.

Chen Wanrong always felt that this scene was somewhat ironic.

……

After spending some time with Zhou Youyou and the child in her room, Lu Chen went to his study.

He was very concerned about the reward he had just received.

Upon entering the study, Lu Chen immediately asked the system, "System, where are the 50,000 Black Cavalry now?"

The barbarians are about to march south. Lu Chen had been thinking about how to defeat the 300,000 barbarian cavalry, but no matter how he analyzed the map, he found that defeating the 300,000 barbarian cavalry was an extremely difficult task.

Although he possessed powerful weapons like the 122mm howitzer, the barbarian cavalry were highly mobile, and once they fled, his men simply couldn't catch up.

The Northern Commandery only had 30,000 soldiers, of whom only a few thousand were cavalry, and these cavalrymen were not well trained.

If the barbarian army were frightened away by the howitzers, it would be unrealistic to send the small number of soldiers from the North County to pursue them or to surround the barbarian cavalry.

But things are different now!

He now has 50,000 cavalry, who can ambush the rear of the Wanning River Valley. As soon as the barbarian cavalry enters the Wanning River Valley, they will be able to surround all 300,000 cavalry.

If the barbarian cavalry tried to escape, their 50,000 cavalrymen could pursue them.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen couldn't help but praise the system in his heart. The system was really powerful; it provided exactly what he needed.

At this moment, the system notification appeared: "[Currently, 50,000 Black Cavalry are located at the foot of Yan'an Mountain in the northeast of North County. They have received your summons.]"

Lu Chen was taken aback when he saw the notification.

He knew that the subordinates he acquired through the system all had implanted identities in this world, meaning they were the original inhabitants of this world. Upon hearing that his 50,000 Black Cavalry were in the northeast of the Northern County, Lu Chen's heart skipped a beat.

Could his 50,000 Black Cavalry be implanted as barbarian soldiers in this world?

After all, the north only had barbarian tribes...

Lu Chen then asked, "System, are the Black Cavalry and 500,000 people I acquired all barbarians?"

[The host has been implanted with the identities of 50,000 Black Cavalry and 500,000 people as descendants of the Great Yu Dynasty. Five hundred years ago, they fled to the north to escape war and settled in a certain mountain.]

Now their sacrifices are in accordance with the will of Heaven, recognizing the Northern King as the Son of Heaven, and they will follow him to unify the world.

This……

Okay, this implanted identity isn't entirely unacceptable.

After all, the Great Yu Dynasty had been extinct for over five hundred years, and the Great Xia Dynasty was built on the foundation of the Great Yu Dynasty. The people of the Great Xia Dynasty today can be said to be the people of the former Great Yu Dynasty.

Lu Chen continued, "If the summons is issued now, how long will it take for the Black Cavalry to arrive?"

[At least half a month.]

Lu Chen muttered to himself, "Half a month? That's more than enough!"

……

Northland.

Yan'an Mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, there is a continuous cluster of buildings, the type of which is very similar to that of the Great Xia Dynasty, making it seem as if this place is within the territory of the Great Xia Dynasty.

However, this place does not belong to the Great Xia Dynasty, nor to any country or dynasty.

This is Dayu City.

At this time, the streets of Dayu City were bustling with pedestrians and vehicles, and looked very prosperous.

But at that moment, the pedestrians on the street suddenly stopped in their tracks, as if their bodies had been frozen in place.

The carriage came to an instant.

Everyone looked up in unison, gazing southward.

at the same time.

The City Lord's Mansion of Dayu City.

An old man stared intently at the tortoise shell before him, then addressed two burly men clad in black armor not far away: "Heaven's mandate is in the south, the Human Emperor has appeared in the world, it is time for us to enter the mortal realm!"

Immediately, the two strong men gathered the Black Cavalry and rushed to the Northern Prefecture of Great Xia.

……

night.

After having dinner, Chu Yuqin began patrolling the inner courtyard.

Although the palace was illuminated by many lanterns at night, the light was not bright, and the courtyard was still rather dim.

Suddenly, Chu Yuqin saw a dark figure slip into Bai Qingqing's courtyard. Chu Yuqin frowned, lightly pushed off with her legs, and jumped directly onto the courtyard wall, then quickly followed.

The other person was acting suspiciously; you could tell at a glance they weren't a good person.
