I am a Big Villain

Five full days have passed since that time when he broke through the boundaries of his identity. After that night, Yan Chu never had the opportunity to have private contact with the eldest princess alone. The other party seemed to be avoiding him and unwilling to meet him.

At this time, there were only four or five days before they reached the border of Jiang State.

Yan Chu has been thinking these days about what kind of feelings the eldest princess has for her original body, and whether the words she said came from the bottom of her heart or had ulterior motives.

After all, he has no memory of the original person, and it seems that the eldest princess does not exist in the other person's memory of the first sixteen years. If the eldest princess likes the original person, this really makes Yan Chu puzzled.

However, the pious, happy, desperate and calm eyes of the other party when they kissed him that night have been recurring in his mind these days. If such strong feelings that cannot be vented are just acting, then he is definitely better than the actress. With his acting skills, Yan Chu intuitively felt that those feelings were real and pure.

Combined with the performance of the second princess, Yan Chu felt that the princess that King Zhou told his grandmother and mother was probably the eldest princess who was sitting in the marriage procession to Jiang State, rather than the princess who had suffered all kinds of hardships. The second princess who is loved by thousands of people.

On the contrary, the second princess tried her best to suppress her dislike of him, and the other party's behavior in being accused of marrying Fu Cong immediately after he lost power made him have to suspect that the other party was responsible for him being framed for treason. Didn't he also put in a lot of effort?

After all, anyone who can imitate the original handwriting must be someone who is extremely familiar with his original handwriting. As Zhou Mingzhu, who grew up with Yan Chu, she might have such an ability.

Therefore, Yan Chu is indeed the host that 007 is optimistic about. Without the memory of the original person and the general plot of the world, he can still connect the general main line of the story through some details that others cannot detect at all.

That night, he read the note handed to him by the eldest princess. It was densely packed with names of people. Several of them had an impression on him. They were all around King Zhou, Queen Zhou, and several princes. The serving maids and eunuchs.

I'm afraid that what was written on that piece of paper were all the connections Zhou Mingli had developed in Zhou State over the years. If he hadn't seen this piece of paper with his own eyes, no one would have believed it. He had always been secretive and was often ignored by everyone. The eldest princess actually managed such a power in Zhou Kingdom.

Although it seems that all she gives are little Luoluo, but the ants bite the elephant to death, and sometimes the big shots are defeated by these inconspicuous people in the past.

This favor was so great that Yan Chu didn't know how to repay it for a while.

Especially after the kiss a few nights ago, Yan Chu suddenly felt that it was a bit unpleasant to ask him to personally send the girl to marry the old man from Jiang Guo.

He thought that before reaching Jiang Country, he still had to meet Zhou Mingli again. If she didn't want to, he might be able to help her leave.

Although there are still many follow-up problems that will affect his plan, he is a man and has not yet reached the point where he has to rely on a woman to sacrifice his own happiness to win.

Therefore, although it was a bit immoral, on a dark and windy night, Yan Chu still chose to visit the princess's boudoir at night.

"who?"

Zhou Mingli's vigilance was higher than he thought. Almost as soon as he entered the room, Zhou Mingli woke up immediately. She quickly picked up the dagger under the pillow and was about to call.

Fortunately, Yan Chu moved quickly and quickly arrived at Zhou Mingli's bedside and covered her mouth.

As a result of this, I turned myself into a flower-picking thief.

Looking at this familiar figure even in the dark, Zhou Mingli immediately recognized the person and put down the dagger originally hidden behind her.

Yan Chu felt the other person's relaxed expression and knew that the other person had recognized him, so he immediately put his hand down because he knew that the other person would not call anyone.

"What are you doing here?"

Zhou Mingli's fists were clenched and she avoided looking at him.

"If you don't want to marry King Jiang, I can take you away."

A familiar voice sounded in Zhou Mingli's ears. After hearing what the other party said, her eyes were a little sore, but she still refused without hesitation.

"As long as you marry me, I will be the dignified Queen Jiang. Why would I be unwilling?"

The other party is the leader of the escort team this time. If something happens to her, Yan Chu will be blamed. Therefore, she must not let the other party behave irrationally. What's more, in Zhou Mingli's view, this may just be what the other party sees. It was just compensation for the list of people she gave him.

She was not so pretentious that the other party fell in love with her just from a kiss that day. After all, in her heart, Yan Chu loved her family and the military camp the most, and the second favorite was probably Zhou Mingzhu.

"When I was in the Zhou Kingdom, I was not valued by everyone, so a long time ago, I wanted to experience what it was like to be a superior person, and King Jiang can satisfy me, even if he is old, as a Queen, no matter which prince succeeds to the throne, I will be the legitimate empress dowager, one person inferior to ten thousand people."

Zhou Mingli forced herself to make a arrogant and aloof expression. She was used to doing this kind of expression in Prince Zhou's palace, and she had already become accustomed to it.

"Then why did you kiss me that day?" Yan Chu asked in a muffled voice.

"Because you used to be Zhou Mingzhu's fiancé. I just want to know what it was like for the man she once liked."

Zhou Mingli licked his lips and showed a disdainful smile, "It's a pity, it's nothing more than that."

She was acting ruthlessly now, and just as she wished, Yan Chu took a deep look at her, turned around and left, never saying a word again.

After he left, Zhou Mingli buried her face in the quilt. She knew how proud and confident the other party was. Now, the other party could accept her gifts with peace of mind and would not do anything stupid again.

As expected, Yan Chu never came to see Zhou Mingli again. She told herself that this was the best result, but her mood still became depressed day by day.

When she arrived at the capital of the Jiang Kingdom, she had lost several pounds and lost the trace of childishness she still had, making her even more stunningly beautiful.

The Jiang State is different from the Zhou State. It was originally formed by the merger of many foreign countries, including the royal family, all of which have foreign blood. Zhou Mingli's appearance was questioned in the Zhou State as having impure blood, but in the Jiang State, no one Will care.

Therefore, when Zhou Mingli appeared in the palace, not only the king of Jiang State was very satisfied with his new wife, but also several princes of Jiang State were somewhat ready to make a move.

You must know that the customs of the Jiang Kingdom are barbaric, and they have always maintained the tradition of succession after the death of the father. The inheritance here not only inherits the wealth of the ancestors, but also includes the wives and concubines. Of course, all this is based on the consent of the wives and concubines. .

You must know that King Jiang is no longer young, and may not live for a few more years, but at that time, the princess of Zhou Kingdom in front of her was still as beautiful as before, and had experienced the nourishment of men, and was most mature and attractive.

King Jiang is also a man. Why can't he see the meaning of his sons? He is a little unhappy, not that he is unhappy that the other party covets his women, because some of his old concubines are also inherited from his father. He is not happy. The only thing I'm happy about is that he's not dead yet, and the other person is already expecting him to die.

For this reason, King Jiang lost his temper on the wedding day and severely scolded several princes.

Zhou Mingli was currently sitting in the palace prepared for her by King Jiang. Looking at the magnificent palace and herself wearing a red wedding dress, she thought that Yan Chu should have left the capital of Jiang Kingdom at this moment. .

In addition to the dowry personnel, the wedding team will leave after delivering the princess to Jiang State. Because Zhou State brings many people to marry, Jiang State may not be happy to keep so many soldiers of Zhou State in its capital, and all the time Thousands of elite soldiers are not that few. The purpose of drawing such a large number of men from the garrison is just to express the importance Zhou attaches to this marriage. Now they have to rush back.

"M-Princess."

Zhou Mingli's eldest maid hurried in, her face a little panicked, "Prince Jiang - passed away -"

"What!" Zhou Mingli lifted her hijab and stood up. Before she could take action, the other party died.

Seeing her surprised expression, the palace maid just thought it was the shock of being widowed just after she got married, and she was still thinking about how to comfort her poor princess.

The original bright red decorations were removed one by one, and Zhou Mingli also followed the wishes of the Jiang Kingdom palace ladies and changed out of his red wedding clothes and put on black and white mourning clothes regulated by the Empress Dowager.

She was already the queen before King Jiang died, so when he died, she naturally became the queen mother. No one who becomes emperor can change this.

The cause of King Jiang's death is also strange. On the day of the wedding, perhaps because he was happy to marry a beautiful lady, he couldn't help but drink a few too many drinks. When he was drunk, he dragged a few dancing girls and slept in the back hall. .

King Jiang was extraordinarily brave that night. He asked for more than a dozen dancers in succession, regardless of his aging body that needed to be taken good care of. Until finally, he foamed at the mouth and fell on the belly of a dancer.

Such a death was so disgraceful that insiders suspected that King Jiang had taken some kind of aphrodisiac. However, dozens of examinations by imperial doctors found no problems. The only result was that King Jiang drank too much and had no symptoms for a while. Temperance will soon become popular.

After all, what Jiang Wangzhong has is the golden gun produced by the system that will never fall. This thing is better used on young and strong young people. But if it is used on this old man who is over fifty years old, it is not a good thing, but a deadly thing. .

However, apart from Yan Chu and his several spies in Jiang State, only Zhou Mingli now knows about this matter.

At this moment, Zhou Mingli looked at the letter that an unknown maid handed to her when she was changing clothes, and couldn't help but feel relieved.

As a queen, unlike other concubines in the harem, she must observe mourning for King Jiang for three years. During these three years, it would be impossible for the next emperor to marry her.

What's more, King Jiang died suddenly. Did he ever leave any edicts and last words for the crown prince? The older princes are almost fighting with each other. With the dominance of the country ahead, who has the thoughts to care about who will get it sooner or later? The beauty of the mouth.

Zhou Mingli's life just calmed down.

In fact, this is also the result of Yan Chu's careful consideration. He has many things to do in the future, and he may not necessarily take Zhou Mingli into consideration. As the missing princess, wherever she is hidden, countless people from Zhou and Jiang will be looking for her. , and marrying to Jiang Guo also has various problems, at least in terms of basic safety issues, there is no need to consider them for the time being.

Men in this era have an inexplicable confidence and look down on women. They don’t know that women are often more cruel than men. However, based on this, as long as Jiang Guo and Zhou Guo are not in conflict, they will not touch Zhou Guo. The princess's, and when that time comes, Yan Chu will not let the other party suffer any harm.

In six months, many things happened, such as Princess Mingzhu marrying Fu Cong, and Fu Cong set off for the border town of Zhou in the second month after becoming the consort.

Another example is that the King of Zhou wanted to reuse General Yan, but General Yan refused because he was seriously injured. He is still recuperating in the palace, but it took a long time to recuperate, and outsiders seemed to have gradually forgotten his existence.

"Dong-dong-dong-"

I don’t know when Mrs. Yan became obsessed with eating fast and chanting Buddha’s name. At this moment, she was in the Yan family’s ancestral hall. The old lady beside her walked in quietly. When the other party stopped what she was doing, she got closer. She whispered in her ear.

"Old lady, the young general is gone."

"Okay, I get it."

A complicated look flashed across Mrs. Yan's eyes. She looked at the ancestral tablets in the ancestral hall that were engraved with the words "heroes and martyrs" inscribed by successive emperors. She sighed softly, closed her eyes, and continued the sutra she had just finished reciting.

Almost not long after, Mrs. Yan San also came in. She knelt on the mat next to the old lady, also holding a string of Buddhist beads in her hand and chanting something.

The person who knows you best is your family. Although Yan Chu didn't say anything, Mrs. Yan and Mrs. Yan still knew about it, but they chose to indulge in it after all.

Because of that incident, it was not only the hearts of their grandchildren/sons that were hurt, but also their hearts.

*****

Ancient times were different from modern times. If you have any news, you can go online and make a phone call. In ancient times, when communication was trustworthy, it often took half a month to a month to convey a message over a longer distance. If someone blocks it, it will take even longer.

The Ming Dynasty is now at its most proud. Originally, they were passively caught in the surprise attack of the young general named Yan from the Zhou Kingdom. Who knew what was wrong with the Zhou Kingdom's people? They suddenly withdrew their troops and took that young general Yan. The general was arrested. It is said that he was suspected of colluding with Jiang Guo and that he was maimed.

Just because the young general was fighting so hard on the battlefield, it was said that he was a spy of the Jiang State. The Zhou people were right, but this was a good thing for the Ming State. They lost a powerful enemy and gained ten more cities for nothing.

In the first few months, the Ming Dynasty was still vigilant, but then they gradually became more and more relaxed. After all, the impression given to them by the Zhou Dynasty was that they had a problem with their brains. Now that even the only Yan Chu they could use was destroyed by themselves, what's the point? Out of fear, the only option is to recover the national strength and capture the Zhou Kingdom.

The city defenders were careless. Faced with the sudden appearance of Zhou's army, the ten cities they had originally captured fell in almost no time. On one side was the Ming army, which had neglected military training and was not very impressive. , on one side is an army that has been training hard for who knows how long and has won several games in a row, and has high morale. It is obvious who will win and lose.

When word of the war at the border reached the Zhou capital, there were several good news accompanying it.

"Why did Fu Cong imitate Yan Chu and start a war with the Ming Dynasty without telling me?"

Even though the King of Zhou was a good-tempered emperor, he was a little unhappy this time. If it hadn't been for the news that this time he had recovered the ten cities originally ceded and also captured two cities of Zhou Kingdom. Good news, I'm afraid King Zhou is not just unhappy.

"Father, in fact, my husband's actions this time have already been discussed with my son."

Zhou Mingzhu's eyes were filled with joy. She knew that the man she liked was as capable as that person. In addition, before the other party set off, she and he analyzed the marching characteristics of the generals of the Ming Dynasty and how to deal with them, and conquered the Ming Dynasty. It's just a matter of time.

Zhou Mingzhu didn't think there was anything wrong with teaching Fu Cong the secrets she had heard from Yan Chu before. She seemed to have seen that Fu Cong was famous, and she was pregnant with the bitch of theirs who was unfortunately killed by the bitch of the Yan family in her previous life. children, and then a family of three living happily.

In front of her father and brother, Zhou Mingzhu explained her and Fu Cong's plan in detail, and repeatedly stated that Fu Cong did not have a deep foundation in the military and would not shake the Zhou royal family's rule like the Yan family did. After the prince's brother's suspicion, Zhou Mingzhu settled in the palace with a happy mood. Anyway, she was the only master in the general's mansion and the princess's mansion now. It didn't matter whether she went back or not.

The good news came day by day, and the faces of the people of Zhou were filled with joy. Everyone praised General Fu and thought he was really a great general.

Because it was already a month later when the Zhou royal family received the news. When the news of the war between Zhou and Ming reached the ears of Jiang, it was delayed by another month, forming a full two-month time lag. When they learned about this, Zhou's army had almost reached the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

It has been eight months since Jiang Guo passed away.

The eldest prince born by the first empress, the third and fifth princes born by the second empress, the seventh prince born by the late emperor's most favored concubine when he was alive, and the fourth prince and ninth prince whose mother's family background is equally prominent.

Everyone wants to be the emperor, and no one is convinced. Everyone thinks that they are the most qualified. At this time, Jiang Guo can't care about other countries at all. After all, his own affairs have not been settled yet.

For eight months, the Jiang Kingdom had not been able to establish a new emperor. The third and ninth princes, the least powerful among the six princes, were assassinated. Everyone knew that it was probably the other living princes who did it. Their mother's family was not The prince who was happy to be born in his own family died so unclearly, and he hated the few who were still alive in his heart.

Of the remaining four, the fifth prince was lame in one leg, the fourth prince was blind in one eye, and only the eldest prince and the seventh prince were left as the two healthiest princes. After knowing that the Zhou Kingdom and the Ming Kingdom were fighting, the two princes were somewhat lucky. , because the Jiang State was in chaos due to internal strife, and originally they were worried that the Zhou State and the Ming State would collude to attack them, but now it seems that they are consuming each other, which is not enough evidence at all.

At this time, the news they knew was that the war between Zhou and Ming had just begun. In their minds, the two countries were evenly matched. Neither Zhou nor Ming would be easily invaded by the other side. How could they know that there were only two of them? Within a month, Zhou's army had already reached the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

When the seventh prince finally defeated his much older eldest brother with a slight advantage, the capital of the King of Zhou Dynasty was already decorated with lights and decorations, preparing to welcome the arrival of their hero, General Fu Congfu.

Zhou Mingzhu stood outside the city wall early, looking at the distant army with a joyful expression. She knew that the man riding on the tall horse who was about to be supported by thousands of people was her husband and her sweetheart.

As the army got closer and closer, the figures became clearer and clearer, and the expression on Zhou Mingzhu's face changed from the joyful and shy expectation at the beginning to cold and pale.

Similar to her, there were many other people watching.

Didn't it say that it was General Fu who led them to victory? So the leader now seems to be General Yan, who has not been seen for a long time and is rumored to be hiding in the mansion.

The people who had been looking forward to it suddenly became mute. They were still excited, but suddenly they didn't know what to cheer for.

Zhou Mingzhu's mind was spinning very fast. Even when she was in the most complicated mood at the moment, she had already guessed the current situation. Should we say that the man was indeed the man who was feared by his imperial brother in his previous life? He could actually be in such a situation. Fighting back under desperate circumstances, it can only be said that she was too soft-hearted and left such a disaster.

But she was very glad that she did what she did at that time. Yan Chu might have done this for revenge, but in the other person's heart, she was still the girl who loved him deeply, but because of the imperial power, she had to change her mind to others.

Zhou Mingzhu took several deep breaths and forced herself to show joyful and excited eyes. She had not lost yet, she still had a chance to come back.
