More children, more blessings, starting from marrying a wife to fight for world hegemony

Chapter 137 What a big cake
After Lu Chen waited in the pavilion for a while, an old man with white hair in coarse clothes followed the little maid into the courtyard.

Seeing the white-haired old man in front of him, Lu Chen froze for a moment.

The old man looked like an ordinary citizen, not a person with any special status.

But Lu Chen is not a fool, since Bai Qingqing specially asked the maid to tell the person she wanted to see, it proves that this old man is definitely not as simple as it seems.

Lu Chen then used the system to identify it.

【Name: Situ Ce】

[Identity: National Teacher of the Great Xia Dynasty, one of the pillars of the Great Xia Dynasty, this time I went to Beijun, on the one hand, to test the Northern King, and on the other hand, to spread the word for the Emperor Xia. 】

[Strength: Great Master]

【Loyalty: 50】

Seeing the introduction of the system, Lu Chen frowned.

National Division?

As one of the national pillars, the national teacher didn't want to stay in the capital, so he went to Beijun to wander around.

At this time, Situ Ce said to Lu Chen: "The grass people see the prince, the prince is a thousand years old!"

Hearing this, Lu Chen laughed, and then said: "National Teacher, what are you doing all the time going to Beijun to pretend to be ordinary people? You don't think the king can't recognize you, do you?"

Seeing that Lu Chen recognized him at a glance, Situ Ce was slightly surprised.

Xiahuang's princes, except for the eldest prince, have never met him. It stands to reason that the Northern King does not know that he is the national teacher.

Situ Ce smiled, and then asked: "How did the prince recognize the old man?"

Lu Chen said lightly: "Although you hide your aura, you are the only person who can be neither humble nor overbearing in front of a grandmaster like this king, and who can make me feel threatened. In the whole Great Xia, you, the grandmaster, are probably the only ones."

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Situ Ce was stunned again.

Grandmaster!

The Northern King is already a master!

How can this be?

He remembered that when Bei Wang left the capital, Bei Wang didn't even have internal energy in his body, and he was just an ordinary person.

Practicing martial arts is different from playing power tricks. One can hide what one thinks when playing power tricks alone, but practicing martial arts is different. Whether you have internal strength in your body or whether you have practiced martial arts is easy to be seen by others.

Especially in front of people with a higher realm than oneself, it is difficult for warriors with a lower realm to hide their own strength.

Just when Situ Ce wondered if he heard it wrong, he felt the warrior's breath on Lu Chen.

The warrior aura on Lu Chen's body is very weak. If it is an ordinary person, or an existence in the same realm as Lu Chen, they cannot perceive Lu Chen's realm.

But Situ Ce is different. Situ Ce is a great master. Even if Lu Chen hides his aura, hides his strength, and tries to cover up the internal force in his body, he will still be noticed by Situ Ce.

That's why Lu Chen blew himself up as a master as soon as he came up. There was nothing to hide in front of the great master Situ Ce, and he couldn't hide his strength in front of the great master for the time being.

Situ Ce quickly came back to his senses. He praised and said: "As expected of the King of the North who can defeat the barbarian army of 30, he has already broken through to the realm of the master at the age of 17. It seems that Daxia will have a strong man in the realm of heaven and man sitting in his command soon."

An hour ago, Situ Ce was doubting whether the Northern King's own strength could support the Northern King's ambitions at the gate of the city. Of course, the strength in his mind refers to the military strength of the entire North County, and also includes the Northern King's own strength.

Now knowing that the Northern King is already in the realm of a master, Situ Ce instantly understood that the confidence from the Northern King had designated the entire Northern Land as his personal fiefdom.

A 17-year-old grandmaster is rare in the world, or it has never happened at all, at least there is no martial artist who became a grandmaster before the age of 20.

He became a Grandmaster at the age of 17, which means that King Bei has a terrifying talent for practicing martial arts. According to his speed of improvement, he may become a Grandmaster before he is 25 years old.

This is even more terrifying than Emperor Xia's talent in martial arts. Situ Ce always thought that Emperor Xia was the most talented martial artist he had ever seen, but he did not expect that Emperor Xia's son was even more talented than Emperor Xia.

You must know that when he was in the capital, no one knew that the Northern King knew martial arts.

If Bei Wang did not practice martial arts when he was in the capital, but only started to learn martial arts in Beijun, then Bei Wang can be said to be the most talented martial artist in the entire martial arts world for thousands of years.

It is no longer possible to use the word "genius" to describe him.

This is a monster!

After hearing Situ Ce's words, Lu Chen said with a smile: "I don't think that the National Teacher went all the way to Beijun just to praise me."

"What's the matter with the national teacher, let's just talk about it."

Hearing this, Situ Ce immediately said: "Before I get down to business, the old man wants to ask the prince a question. How does the prince view the world today?"

Hearing this question, Lu Chen instantly realized that Situ Ce was testing himself.

Situ Ce is the national teacher and the pillar of Great Xia. Even the Emperor Xia respects him very much. He indeed has the qualifications to test any prince.

Lu Chen then asked back: "The world mentioned by the national teacher refers to the Great Xia, or does it mean the world including other dynasties?"

Hearing Lu Chen's question, Situ Ce's brain froze.

Obviously, what he wanted to ask was only Da Xia.

Situ Ce did not expect that anyone would jump out of his preset range. The "Tianxia" that people often say refers to the Great Xia, and does not refer to other dynasties or countries.

After a while, Situ Ce continued to ask: "Does the lord think that the sum of all the dynasties and countries in the world is the world?"

Hearing Situ Ce's question, Lu Chen was rather confused. Why do people in Daxia think that the world only refers to "Great Xia"?
It's okay for ordinary people to think so, but Situ Ce is the national teacher of Daxia after all, and they also know that there are many dynasties and countries outside of Daxia.

Lu Chen then said: "It's hard for the King to ask this question. Don't other dynasties and Great Xia live in the same world, under the same sky? Naturally, the world should include all dynasties and countries."

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Situ Ce showed a smile, and he suddenly saluted Lu Chen and said, "The old man has been taught."

This……

Lu Chen froze for a moment.

This is taught?
He just explained what he thinks is the world.

Situ Ce continued: "My lord's level of thought is much higher than that of this old man."

The world in the eyes of King Bei is not the Great Xia, but the whole world.

Bei Wang's ambition is far greater than he imagined!

The Emperor Xia back then did not have such ambitions.

Lu Chen felt that Situ Ce's words were a bit inexplicable, and he couldn't help thinking that maybe it was because of Situ Ce's age that people didn't understand what he said.

At this time, Situ Ce continued to ask: "The old man would like to ask the prince one more question. Since the prince has such insight and martial arts talent, why didn't he choose to participate in the succession when he was in the capital? With the prince's knowledge and martial arts talent, it is not too difficult to get the crown prince."

With Lu Chen's talent in martial arts and his knowledge, as well as the Chu family behind him, it is indeed easy to get the crown prince, and there is no need to go to a bitter cold place like Beijun to develop.

Hearing Situ Ce's words, Lu Chen asked with a smile: "Guoshi thinks that when a painter draws a painting, is it easier to achieve the effect you want by painting on a piece of white paper, or is it easier to achieve the effect you want by making changes on other people's paintings?"

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Situ Ce instantly understood what he meant, and then Situ Ce said, "So that's the case. No wonder you agreed without hesitation when His Majesty asked you to come to Beijun."

Today's Great Xia is controlled by major families, and any reforms and Emperor Xia's orders will be hindered by the families, but Beijun is different. Beijun is too poor, there are no big families, at most there are only a few small families, and Beijun's government orders can be unimpeded in Beijun.

Bei Wang can do whatever he wants in Beijun. It's like drawing on white paper, and he can draw whatever he wants.

Lu Chen said: "What you said is not accurate enough. It is not up to the king to decide whether the king will come to Beijun or not, but His Majesty."

Situ Ce said, "What the prince said is true."

Lu Chen continued: "Okay, let's stop here for the chat. The national teacher came to look for the king, and it was probably His Majesty's intention. The national teacher should tell the king directly, what will your majesty give the king?"

Situ Ce said: "Your Majesty asked the old man to tell the prince that he intends to make him the crown prince. The prince should encourage him not to disappoint His Majesty's expectations."

Hearing Situ Ce's words, Lu Chen laughed out loud. It's such a big cake that he might not be able to eat it.

Although he thought so in his heart, Lu Chen didn't say it in front of Situ Ce, but said: "Thank you, the national teacher, for coming to Beijun to convey my father's words, and I trouble you to go back and tell my father, I will work hard, and I will definitely not disappoint his expectations."

Situ Ce said with a smile on his face: "Okay, the old man will definitely tell His Majesty on behalf of the prince."

"But before the old man leaves Beijun, the old man wants to say something from his heart to the prince."

Lu Chen said: "Master, please tell me."

Situ Ce said: "It's really not easy to achieve the effect I want by painting on other people's paintings, but if someone is willing to help the prince change a bigger blank paper, I hope the prince will have enough patience to wait. Presumably the pen of the prince will be able to outline the world in his heart more easily on that blank paper."

Hearing Situ Ce's cryptic reminder, Lu Chen glanced at Situ Ce's loyalty, and found that his loyalty had actually reached 85.

Kind of outrageous.

With just a few words, a great master's loyalty to him has increased so much.

Lu Chen then said: "Thank you for reminding me, Master, I will definitely keep it in mind."

Originally, Situ Ce wanted to find out about those big pits, but Situ Ce finally gave up.

After listening to Lu Chen's answer, it doesn't matter what caused those big pits.
