Lu Ze, who was behind the screen, suddenly widened his eyes when he heard these four words, with a look of shock on his face.
At this moment, he seemed to suddenly understand everything.
Why did Wei Lianyi join the Zhenwu Division and complete his promotion in the Zhenwu Division along the way?
She is cultivating her own power!
Logically speaking, at her age, she should be old enough to get married.
But she didn't. Does this mean that His Majesty is also hesitating now?
In addition, he was also very confused in his heart. Now the battle between the eldest prince and the second prince had already reached a fever pitch.
He even heard that some time ago, the eldest prince and the second prince went to participate in a competition to recruit a bride in the Yaochi Holy Land.
Although the final result was beyond everyone's expectations, it was enough to show that the eldest prince and the second prince, in addition to maintaining harmony on the surface, had already reached the point where they could see each other secretly.
At this time, the Wu family did not choose to take sides. Instead, they sat on the mountain and watched the fight between tigers and tigers.
In the past, he didn't understand why Wu Chen didn't choose to take sides, otherwise no matter whether the eldest prince or the second prince came to power, he would settle with the Wu family.
Now he finally understands.
Because there is a third force vying for the crown prince's position in the court.
That is the group headed by Wei Lianyi!
Obviously, Wu Chen knew this secret news, so he did not choose to take sides.
In today's situation, before the situation becomes clear, who would put his money on the gambling table where there is still suspense?
"I really didn't expect that the third princess would also have ambitions for the throne."
"In the more than five hundred years since the founding of the Wei Dynasty, no woman has succeeded to the throne. Will I be lucky enough to see that day?"
"It's impossible, absolutely impossible. It's impossible for a woman to become emperor, neither the people of Kyushu nor the officials in the court will agree to this matter, even if she is the daughter of the queen."
"In such a situation where there are so many obstacles, if you stand on the side of the third princess, wouldn't you be risking the disdain of the world?"
Lu Ze frowned and couldn't help but hold his breath, fearing that he would miss every word of the conversation between the two.
For the nine major martial arts families in the Wei Dynasty that have been passed down for a long time, if they have the opportunity to join the transcendent forces, it will definitely rise to a huge level again.
But at this moment Wu Chen was still indifferent.
Every transcendent power has limitations, that is, business activities will be limited to one state and one place and cannot extend outside.
The reason why the other six transcendental forces can be passed down for a long time is because they each have a foundation behind them.
The Holy Land of Yaochi has the Black Water Pond, the Vermillion Bird Gate has the Red Sky Burning Divine Fire, the Qilin Gate has the Qilin Blood Spring, the Holy Land of Taixu has the Taixu Sutra, the Holy Land of Stars and Moons has the Star and Moon Book, and Yujian Villa has the Heavenly Soldiers and Fireflies.
It is precisely because of these things that the six transcendent forces can always stand firm.
Wei Lianyi's promise at this moment that he would promote the Wu family as one of the transcendent forces was nothing more than empty talk.
The Wu family cannot become a transcendent force simply by relying on two local martial arts skills.
The benefits Wei Lianyi gave were far from enough for what he had to pay.
Wu Chen chuckled and said: "Cousin, it's not that I don't want to help you. You must also know that since the founding of the Wei Dynasty, there has never been a case of a woman succeeding to the throne."
"If my uncle only has one child, then my cousin will be bound to support you in succeeding to the throne."
"But the current situation is that besides you, cousin, my uncle also has two princes."
"No matter whether it is civil or military officials or the common people of Jiuzhou, it is impossible for them to agree."
"Cousin, the great trend of the world cannot be controlled by one person."
Wei Lianyi frowned slightly when he heard this.
Obviously, this was just Wu Chen's refusal because he didn't give enough benefits.
But just like doing business, there is always a bargaining process.
Naturally, she also understood that what she had given was far from enough for the Wu family to risk their lives.
She said calmly: "The other six transcendent forces can only operate within the divided territory. The Wu family will not be subject to this restriction!"
Upon hearing Wei Lianyi's words, Lu Ze's expression suddenly changed as he was hiding behind the screen.
If it is true as Wei Lianyi promised, then the Wu family will most likely become the largest transcendent force in the Wei Dynasty in the future.
What a transcendent force values most is its ability to create wealth.
The reason why the other six transcendental forces cannot continue to develop and grow is because they are restricted to one state and one place.
If it is true as Wei Lianyi said, she will succeed to the throne and then open a back door for the Wu family.
In the future, the martial arts family can engage in commercial and trade activities throughout Kyushu, so it is almost foreseeable that the remaining seven martial arts families will eventually be cannibalized by the martial arts family.
It can be seen that the ultimate price Wei Lianyi gave for this condition was to give the Wu family an opportunity to cannibalize the other eight families.
As far as he knew, the previous member of the family, Wu Yuanpan, died at the hands of Hell Gate.
Since Hell Gate sells its life for money, someone must be secretly buying Wu Yuanpan's life.
As soon as Wu Yuanpan died, the other eight martial arts families broke out and took the animal trap as their own.
It can be seen that Wu Yuanpan's death is inseparable from the other eight martial arts families.
Wei Lianyi gave Wu Chen a knife to take revenge on the other eight families.
Of course, for Wei Lianyi, this is nothing to lose.
Except for the Wu family and the overthrown Xie family, the other seven martial arts families all chose to side with the eldest prince and the second prince.
Since they are enemies, using them to feed the Wu family is killing two birds with one stone.
Lu Ze couldn't help but admire Wei Lianyi's skills.
She paid almost no price related to herself, and the conditional promises she gave could only be fulfilled after she succeeded to the throne.
But unfortunately, this condition was something Wu Chen could not refuse.
If the other eight martial arts families were really the buyers behind Wu Yuanpan's life, they would now side with the eldest prince and the second prince.
Due to this grudge, the Wu family cannot stand together with them.
No matter who succeeds the throne, the eldest prince or the second prince, it is impossible to watch Wu Chen raise a butcher's knife against the family that supports him.
On the contrary, because the Wu family did not help each other, it would face a situation where the two princes would be liquidated after they succeeded to the throne.
It's not that Wu Chen doesn't want to join the team, but he is still waiting for Wei Lianyi to ask for help, and then he will take the initiative to get the maximum benefit for this team.
"how?"
Wei Lianyi looked at him and said slowly: "Apart from you standing by my side, neither the eldest prince nor the second prince has a place for you."
"As for if you want more, you need to grab it yourself!"
Wu Chen thought for a moment, then chuckled and said, "Although what you have given me is just empty words, the benefits after the project is completed are really hard to refuse."
"However, I, Wu Chen, am a person who falls in love with the gambling table. I will either lose everything and lose everything, or make a lot of money."
Wei Lianyi said calmly: "So, you agreed to the conditions I offered."
Wu Chen nodded, then smiled and said, "How do you want me to cooperate?"
"In half a month, my father will take the civil and military officials to the Qingtan Monster Forest for summer hunting."
Wei Lianyi's eyes flashed and he said slowly: "If there is any way to prevent Wei Zongyuan and Wei Zongyue from accidentally dying during the summer hunt, then there will be no suspense for me to succeed as the crown prince."
As the forces behind these two people kept trying to find ways to ambush him, Wei Lianyi, who was dormant in the dark, finally showed his fangs and launched a counterattack.
Accidentally died during a summer hunt?
Wu Chen couldn't help but be startled, and then smiled: "You mean, let them die in the mouth of the monster during the hunting process?"
"good."
Wei Lianyi nodded and said: "Under normal circumstances, the monsters in the Qingtan Monster Forest are all monsters below the seventh level and will not cause much casualties to those who participate in the hunt."
"We can make a fuss about this."
Lu Ze immediately understood that Wei Lianyi wanted Wu Chen to secretly release the sixth-level monsters into the Qingtan Monster Forest.
From now on, when the eldest prince and the second prince are hunting, they will definitely go deep into the Qingtan Forest in order to show off the leader of this summer hunt.
And this might lead to their 'accidental' death.
As long as the two of them die in this summer hunt, Wei Lianyi will naturally assume the position of crown prince without any suspense.
The Wu family has opened animal traps in both Jingyuan and Yuanzhou, and has captured a large number of monsters for use in trapped monsters. The team of monster hunters has also formed a large-scale industrial chain.
As long as Wu Chen gives orders, he can catch a dozen or twenty sixth-level monsters and put them into the Qingtan Monster Forest within five days.
Although sixth-level monsters are comparable to Yulei realm warriors, their combat prowess is quite different.
A sixth-level monster requires at least a Yulei Realm team of seven or eight people to have a chance to kill it.
If it were just a hunting activity, if a Yulei Realm warrior wanted to kill a sixth-level monster alone, the difficulty would be almost the same as that of a Hidden Dragon Realm warrior before crossing the border.
After all, there are very few warriors in this world who can possess as many trump cards as Su Yu.
Once the eldest prince and the second prince encountered a sixth-level monster during hunting, they would most likely be buried in the Qingtan Monster Forest if they did not escape in time.
Wei Lianyi's strategy can be said to be the expression of killing with a borrowed knife to its extreme.
Wu Chen nodded and said with a smile: "This is indeed a good idea."
"By the way, cousin, I just want to introduce you to someone who can handle this matter."
After saying that, Wu Chen looked towards the screen and said, "Come out."
When Wei Lianyi heard this, her pretty face couldn't help but change. Is there anyone else in the study?
Her eyes suddenly filled with murderous intent. She would never allow the news to get out about such a confidential matter.
At this moment, Lu Ze walked out from behind the screen.
"Lu Ze, one of the first hundred households in the humble Zhenwu Division, has met Mr. Wei."
Lu Ze cupped his fists and bowed, and said respectfully.
"Lu Ze?"
Wei Lianyi's pretty face was startled, and she couldn't help but feel a little confused.
It was just a hundred households, and he had never served under her, so how could she remember it?
However, the first one hundred households shows that he once served as the one hundred households of Zhenwu Division, but now he defected to Wu Chen.
She couldn't help but wonder, no matter in terms of status or status, how could a man from a hundred households in the Zhenwu Division be more comfortable than working under Wu Chen?
She said calmly: "Which Lord Qianhu have you ever worked under?"
Lu Zedao: "Back to Mr. Wei, my humble position was once a hundred households under Mr. Su."
"Is it you?"
After hearing about Su Yu's appointment, Wei Lianyi finally thought about it and said, "Are you the Lu Ze who killed two hundred households in the Zhenwu Division and was wanted after that?"
"good."
Lu Ze nodded and said: "It is a humble position, but there is another hidden reason in this matter. Back then, these two people killed my father and occupied my mother. When my mother learned that they were the culprits who killed my father,
Later, they killed people and silenced them."
"I have been thinking about revenge all these years!"
Wei Lianyi's pretty face was a little complicated. She had already learned about Lu Ze's deeds from Su Yu.
I just didn't think of it for a while.
She said: "I have heard a lot about you from Su Yu's mouth. If the truth of the matter is really as Su Yu said, it is indeed excusable for you to kill your enemy with your own hands!"
Then she changed her voice and said: "However, due to insufficient evidence, the Zhenwu Division cannot rehabilitate you, and you will always bear the name of being wanted by the Zhenwu Division."
Lu Ze smiled freely and said: "As long as I can kill my enemies with my own hands and avenge my parents, just living in darkness, this is already a very lucky thing for me."
Wei Lianyi nodded and said nothing more.
Wu Chen chuckled and said, "Cousin, Lu Ze is a close confidant of mine. I can still trust him."
"Currently, he is working as a steward at the Yuanzhou Animal Trap Farm."
"I'm going to give him full responsibility for the plan you mentioned before!"
Then Wu Chen looked at Lu Ze and said, "Lu Ze, you also heard everything I discussed with the third princess just now."
"I'm going to leave this matter to you!"
Lu Ze responded: "Master, don't worry, Lu Ze will definitely live up to his mission!"
This is not a difficult thing for him.
It is nothing more than asking people to capture the sixth-level monsters in the nearby monster forest, and then put them into the Qingtan Monster Forest.
Then he looked at Wei Lianyi and said: "But if Mr. Wei goes hunting then, he must be careful to avoid being accidentally injured."
Wei Lianyi said: "You don't need to worry about this, I have my own sense of discretion."
After discussing some relevant details, Wu Chen asked Lu Ze to go down to work.
Seeing Lu Ze's back as he was about to walk out of the study, Wei Lianyi seemed to have remembered something and asked, "Wait a minute."
Lu Ze paused and then asked, "I wonder if there is anything else Mr. Wei has to do?"
Facing Lu Ze's confused gaze, Wei Lianyi said slowly: "I suddenly remembered something."
"I once read a file about a strange mission you went to complete."
"The target person of the mission is Guo Yuantao. The Zhenwu Division dispatched several teams of people before, but in the end they were unable to complete the mission."
"Every time he dies, he comes back to life after a while. I am very curious about the details of this mission."
"And this mission was finally completed by you."
"I would like to ask, how did you complete the Guo Yuantao case?"
Hearing Wei Lianyi's inquiry about Guo Yuantao's case, Lu Ze smiled bitterly and said, "This task was completed in a blur even for a humble person."
"This task is for Beizhong and Lin Canglan to work together as a team to complete."
"This mission is the most evil mission I have ever encountered since I took office in the Zhenwu Division."
"The reason why Guo Yuantao has immortality is because he can create clones."
"What's shocking is that the clone he created is no different from an ordinary person and has the same martial arts cultivation as him."
"Clone?"
After listening to Lu Ze's explanation, Wei Lianyi's pretty face changed drastically, her mind was like a thunderous explosion, and she murmured.
At this moment, all the disconnected threads were connected together again.
She finally understood everything and finally knew the true identity of that guy.
Su Yu!
She looked through the files on Su Yu's mission. In the case of Guo Yuantao, Su Yu participated in the case as the Zhenwu Guard under Lin Canglan.
After the mission, Su Yu was promoted to captain under the exception and served under his command because he provided the whereabouts of Yin Bing and Huang Jingyan.
In Tianyao City, she led her lieutenants to search for the map hidden by Huang Jingyan, but was unexpectedly ambushed by three Hell Gate judges.
She used secret techniques to kill Meng Po and City God, but that guy showed up and took everything away from her.
Subsequently, Su Yu killed Jingzhe, one of the twenty-four solar terms of the Nian organization, and was promoted to a hundred households under the exception, and continued to serve under her.
Then he helped her put down the rebellion of King Wu of Yanzhou, and temporarily took over the position of Qianhu!
There is also a line of Soul-Destroying Forest.
In all of this, when that person appeared, Su Yu appeared.
She finally understood everything.
The people who robbed her before and the people who rescued her were all clones created by Su Yu!
This can also clearly explain why Lu Ze said that Guo Yuantao escaped successfully, but there was no news that he continued to commit crimes in the world.
Because he didn't really escape in the end, but died in the hands of Su Yu, who got the secret of his clone and used it against himself.
Her pretty face was extremely complicated. After knowing the truth, she couldn't come to her senses for a long time.
She didn't even know whether she should expose him or continue to pretend she didn't know anything.
Although the two had a grudge, Su Yu rescued her twice and became married to her in the Soul-Destroying Monster Forest.
She suddenly realized that she didn't know how to face this matter.
I remember that the first time the two met was because Chu Xuan owned the Tiandao Jade. At that time, he was just a small Zhenwu Guard.
At that time, she didn't take the lives of the people below her seriously at all, they were just tools that could be squandered for her own meritorious deeds.
She ordered Su Yu to lead the way to search for Chu Xuan's whereabouts.
"Maybe it was that time that I put him in danger and offended him secretly, so he used his clone to rob me when I was weak."
Thinking of the relationship between the two of them, Wei Lianyi couldn't help but sigh.
At that time, he was just a small town military guard. In just over a year, he had grown to a point where she could only look up to him.
She had guessed about Su Yu before and even investigated him secretly.
But this guy discovered his actions and directed the scene in Longxuling where he was killed by her.
This can also explain why he couldn't find his body after falling into the cliff of Longxuling.
Because it was a clone he created in order to prevent himself from continuing to trace it.
That was also the closest I got to the truth.
Because the other party died due to Longxuling and his party, she stopped the investigation again.
If she hadn't found Wu Chen tonight and accidentally bumped into Lu Ze, she might still have been kept in the dark by Su Yu.
How should we face him in the future?
Although really speaking, with her pride, she will only marry a man who is better than herself in this life.
And in this world, it seems that he is the only one worthy of her.
It's just that he has already married Wu Ling and Yaochi Saint Yu Nanshuang, and has four concubines.
How could she be willing to work with the same husband because of her inner pride?
He may not even know that he now fully knows his identity.
But how should she break this relationship?
Or should he continue to pretend not to know and wait for him to reveal himself?
Looking at the extremely complicated expression on Wei Lianyi's pretty face, Lu Ze asked tentatively: "Master Wei, if there is nothing else, I will go back first."
Wei Lianyi put away her divergent thoughts and nodded: "Okay."
After Lu Ze left, Wei Lianyi discussed other details with Wu Chen before leaving the Wu family with a complicated heart and walked towards the palace.
Regarding the fact that the guy was Su Yu, she still needed some time to digest and accept such a fact that was beyond her expectation.
At the same time, she also has to consider how she will deal with the relationship if the secret is exposed later.
