I am a Big Villain

62. The traitorous general

Beyond the imagination of the people of the capital, in less than half a day, the faint sounds of killing in the imperial city, as well as the armored soldiers passing by in the streets and alleys from time to time, fell silent.

Originally, whether the King of Zhou wanted to get rid of General Yan, a hero, or General Yan wanted to rebel, he should not have been so quick. It was as if the battle ended without much fighting.

So who wins?

In the palace, the Zhou royal family and the ministers of the court, who had originally planned to come to congratulate Fu Cong on his triumphant return, were all kept in silence in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

They also couldn't understand that after leaving the palace, the Imperial Guards who were obviously going to "invite" Mrs. Yan in at the beginning kept shouting that Yan Chu was going to rebel and arrest the female family members of the Yan family, and Yan Chu also Because this matter is the opposite.

It seems that from beginning to end, they are like puppets being pulled by strings, and the person controlling the puppets is Yan Chu.

"You rebellious traitor."

The prince was protected by a few loyal guards behind him. He pointed at Yan Chu, who was walking towards the palace with a sword and wearing silver armor stained with countless blood, and cursed fiercely.

"Why do you, the Yan family, keep saying that you are loyal to the emperor and serve the country, but you are so loyal to the army and serve the country like this? Yan Chu, after you die, I will see what kind of face you have to explain to the ancestors under Jiuquan."

"laugh--"

Yan Chu chuckled, and the sound echoed in the empty and silent hall.

"Your Highness, do you need me to remind you, who bribed the left prison warden to break my hand tendons and hamstrings?"

Yan Chu walked slowly, his sword touching the marble floor, bringing out little sparks when it was rubbed.

"And the second prince, do you need me to remind you, who bribed the jailer who detained me and asked him to soak the whip with which I was whipped with chili pepper water, and mixed a large amount of it with the cold water that was poured on me. of salt?”

Yan Chu didn't need to give evidence, just the two people's expressions that suddenly turned pale could prove everything.

"Also, who put the so-called letter about my collaboration with the enemy and treason in my camp, Fu Cong? Or is it someone behind him?"

Everyone whose eyes came into contact with Yan Chu lowered their heads one by one. In fact, when things have reached this point, everyone can understand Yan Chu's mood. It is the turn of every family to devote themselves to the country and die, but in the end they have to If they end up being cooked by a cunning rabbit and a dead lackey, they will bottom out and rebound.

"Yan Chu."

King Zhou opened his mouth. He looked at his two sons. Combined with what Yan Chu said just now, could it be that they were the ones who framed each other for collaborating with the enemy and treason.

At this moment, the old emperor did not think of his well-behaved and sensible daughter at all. He only thought that his two sons were narrow-minded and could not tolerate the farce caused by Yan Chucai.

He thought that he should scold Yan Chu at this time, because no matter what, Yan Chu should not rebel and betray his trust in him, but think about it, if he really trusted the other person, why would he do it in the first place? Not listening to the other party's excuses, he directly sent the other party to the prison, giving his two sons such a convenient opportunity to take action.

He didn't have the nerve to say anything he wanted to say.

The soldiers of the Yan family army came in one by one and took the ministers and their wives and daughters from the Taihe Palace. The prince and the second prince refused to leave and tried to resist, but they were beaten unconscious and carried out.

Queen Zhou was a female dependent, and several female soldiers took her away. Her mouth was covered, and she could only let out endless screams, hoping that King Zhou would save her.

Soon, only King Zhou and Yan Chu were left in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. It was not until midnight in the east that the door of the Hall of Supreme Harmony opened again.

This time, Yan Chu had an imperial edict in his hand, and the king of Zhou voluntarily passed the throne to him.

After this day, King Zhou became King Xian of Zhou and moved to a relatively remote but extremely quiet palace in the harem. All expenses were the same as before, but all the people who served King Xian of Zhou were arranged by Yan Chu.

When Zhou Mingzhu married Fu Cong, she was supposed to have her own princess palace, but she believed that she was reborn and recognized her true heart, so she merged the princess palace with Fu Cong's general palace. Therefore, the original Queen Zhou and the two When a prince, now a commoner, was sent to be with Zhou Mingzhu, he was actually entering the general's palace.

Fu Cong was not dead, but he was almost dead. He had gone through all the sins that Yan Chu had suffered, and now he was lying in the general's mansion with his hands and feet broken.

A group of people gathered together, but it was a pity that Yan Chu's people were guarding the outside of the general's mansion, and not even a fly could fly out. Even if they had many crooked ideas, they were just thinking about it in their hearts.

"Sister, we all depend on you now."

The first prince looked at Zhou Mingzhu, his younger sister, and had high hopes for her.

"Brother, don't worry. After Yan Chu marries me into the palace, I will find a way to kill him and regain the great Zhou Dynasty that he took away."

Zhou Mingzhu felt heartbroken when she looked at her lover who was lying on the bed with a broken body.

"Mingzhu, don't feel like you've let me down. You did this for Da Zhou, for all of us. It was your sacrifice that gave us our freedom and happiness. No matter what, I only love you."

Fu Cong's eyes were affectionate, but he looked a little embarrassed now. When he made this expression, he was not as intoxicating as before.

But Zhou Mingzhu didn't care. She felt that Fu Cong's behavior was only temporary. Didn't Yan Chu also have his hands and feet broken at first? But now he is still alive and kicking, and he has destroyed her empire.

It can be seen that the words of the imperial doctor cannot be believed. Fu Cong is better than Yan Chu. Since the other party can do it, Fu Cong can also do it. Sooner or later, he will return to his former handsome and unrestrained appearance.

Furthermore, Fu Cong's words also touched on her itch. She didn't agree to marry Yan Chu because of fear of death, but for Da Zhou and for everyone present, she sacrificed herself and fulfilled everyone's needs. .

Fu Cong's words made her feel that her greed for life and fear of death had become great, and the other party's frank and passionate confession also made Zhou Mingzhu happy. At least in her previous life, Yan Chu had never said such things to her.

The reason why this group of people have such thoughts is because Mrs. Yan San, who has been named the empress dowager, sent an endless stream of good things to Zhou Mingzhu by name. The few servants in the house ignored Fu. Cong and others would never go against Zhou Mingzhu's wishes, except for things like letting her out or helping her pass on messages.

Everyone thought of Zhou Mingzhu's previous identity and felt that this was Yan Chu's unresolved love for her. Otherwise, how could they explain the Queen Mother's behavior.

They decided to retreat in order to advance, using Zhou Mingzhu's false show of goodwill to find an opportunity for Yan Chu to relax his vigilance, and then kill him with one blow and regain the kingdom of Zhou Dynasty.

They waited for a month, and then they heard that the new king had gone to attack Jiang State. Everyone thought that the other party might want to conquer the whole world and use the country as a betrothal to marry Zhou Mingzhu, including Zhou Mingzhu himself. Think so.

As time passed, Fu Cong's injuries not only showed no signs of improvement, but worsened. Yan Chu's hamstring was broken, but he still insisted on rehabilitating every day, and Fu Cong simply couldn't. I couldn't bear this crime. Every time I hit the ground, I fell directly to the ground, and I didn't have the courage to stand up again.

He began to become more and more irritable. Even if he did not dare to lose his temper in front of Zhou Mingzhu, his expression could not help but began to distort. Coupled with the increasingly gloomy and thin face, Zhou Mingzhu couldn't help but think of Yan Chu in his previous life. good.

In the last life, although the other party did not say those sweet words to make her happy like Fu Cong, he gave her countless honors. Even the queen's sister-in-law had to respect her.

In this life, Yan Chu was even more infatuated and wanted to use his country as his betrothal and marry her as his queen. Even though Zhou Mingzhu hated him for taking away her kingdom, she couldn't help but be a little moved.

Especially in comparison with Fu Cong, Zhou Mingzhu realized for the first time that Yan Chu was such a strong and persevering man.

She thought that maybe she could spare the other person's life this time, as long as he promised to return the world to her imperial brother.

Since she had this idea, Zhou Mingzhu has reduced the number of visits to Fu Cong, accepted the things sent by the Queen Mother more and more calmly, and dressed herself carefully every day, for fear that after Yan Chu returned from the victory, she would grow old and change her appearance. Ugly.

The servants in the house were always obedient, and Fu Cong was a cripple paralyzed in bed. No one helped him, and even basic excretion was a problem. Unable to hold it in, he could only poop and urinate on the bed. Only that day Zhou Zhou Mingzhu suddenly remembered to visit him, and the servants who served him tidied up his room.

At first, Fu Cong thought about complaining to Zhou Mingzhu, but when he realized that complaining was useless and would only make Zhou Mingzhu more annoyed with him, he stopped this move and instead complained to Zhou Mingzhu. Zhuang Zhong and Hao were not shy about analyzing his inner uneasiness and deep love for her, which made Zhou Mingzhu feel proud and able to visit him a few more times.

Day after day, the autumn was cold and the spring was hot. When Zhou Mingzhu was almost impatient with waiting, the news came that Yan Chu had conquered the Jiang Kingdom and returned victoriously. Along with this, the news came that Yan Chu planned to marry him. The former princess of Zhou Kingdom shared the news of this prosperous era.

Zhou Mingzhu was determined in her heart, including the first prince and others who had been waiting for nearly a year, and regarded Zhou Mingzhu as the hope for their freedom.

For one day, two days, and three days, Zhou Mingzhu kept waiting, waiting for someone from the palace to welcome her into the palace, waiting for the embroiderer to sew the most beautiful wedding dress for her, and waiting for the craftsmen to create the most dazzling phoenix crown for her.

She was tired of staying in this small square world, and she wanted to stand on a high place. For the first time, she felt that being a queen was actually better than being a princess.

But for ten days, she didn't wait for anyone to come to the palace, including the Queen Mother, who had been sending her things, and seemed to have forgotten her existence.

Zhou Mingzhu was a little angry. She felt that Yan Chu was too procrastinating in handling matters. Since the other party liked her, he should have left her in the palace when he left to fight, instead of staying in this miserable place.

She decided that if Yan Chu came to ask her to marry him, she would have to give him a hard time before she could forgive him. After more than a year of subtle indoctrination, Zhou Mingzhu deeply believed that Yan Chu loved her and couldn't help but love her.

She and her brothers waited and waited, and hoped, but never expected the appearance of Yan Chu, or even anyone in the palace, until one day, the noisy sound of joy came from outside the princess mansion. It is a piece of music that can only be played during the emperor's wedding.

She, the queen, hasn't even put on her wedding clothes yet, so how come she is bursting with joy?

Zhou Mingzhu was curious, and so were others in the mansion.

They all came out of their respective rooms and ran towards the outermost wall of the house.

"The eldest princess is the former empress dowager of the Jiang Kingdom. The old emperor died on the first day she married into the Jiang Kingdom. Do you think the new emperor will be killed by her if he marries her?"

"Bah, you don't want your life."

"Before marrying the eldest princess, the new emperor promised that he would not be dissatisfied with anything for the rest of his life. This shows how much the new emperor likes the eldest princess. If anyone hears you saying bad things about the eldest princess, be careful to have your tongue plucked out. "

Zhou Mingzhu's ears were pressed against the wall. She felt that she was hallucinating. The eldest princess, shouldn't it be her second princess? Why would Yan Chu's bride be the woman Zhou Mingli.

"Who says otherwise? The relationship between the emperor and the empress was also rough. In fact, the two of them had liked each other since they were children. It was just because King Zhou Xian messed up the rules and promised the poisonous second princess to the new emperor that the two could only reluctantly separate. , who knew that the poisonous woman was not satisfied with having such a good fiancé as the new emperor, so Hongxing went out and got in love with Fu Cong, and teamed up with him to frame the new emperor, causing him to be wronged by everyone, if it weren't for the eldest princess using If I beg for mercy as a price for marrying Jiang Guo, I’m afraid I’ll be dead a long time ago.”

This was a rumor that suddenly spread across the entire continent during this period, but because it was so true and was one of the most popular gossip materials, it was believed by many people to be true.

"If it weren't for that poisonous woman, the new emperor wouldn't have suffered so much, but we have to thank her. It is precisely because of her existence that the new emperor has achieved the achievements and status he has today. Now the world is unified, and we, the common people, We can also suffer less from the war.”

Outside the wall, there was noisy and lively, but inside the wall, everyone's heart felt cold. At first, they still had hope, but now they are completely desperate.

"What do those people mean? Were you the one who made that letter?"

The second prince grabbed his sister's collar and asked her.

"Snapped--"

He slapped Zhou Mingzhu hard: "Poisonous woman, poisonous woman, if it weren't for you, Yan Chu would have conquered the Ming Dynasty by then. He would not have been arrested for treason, and naturally we would not have taken action against him. Chances are, with the Yan family’s loyalty to the royal family, he will not rebel. It’s all because of you. It’s all because of you that we are like this.”

They couldn't get out at all. What a hopeless situation. What kind of bullshit brother-sister relationship, the second prince could not care about it at all. He punched and kicked Zhou Mingzhu like crazy.

The prince and Queen Zhou stood stiffly by the wall, their eyes blank, showing no intention of stopping them.

Great joy and great sorrow, nothing more than this.

*****

Zhou Mingli is sitting in a palace full of gold and red. This is her second time as a bride. Different from the first time, this time she is both looking forward to it and shy. She looks at the burning dragon and phoenix candles, and the warmth on her face It also rose accordingly.

Yan Chu didn't know when he walked in. The palace was empty except for the two of them.

Zhou Mingli raised his head slightly, looking at the emperor in red wedding clothes. His neck was a little sore, but he stubbornly refused to lower his head.

The scenes that happened these days were like a dream. She didn't expect that the other party not only brought her back to her hometown, but actually gave her a home.

She didn't dare to think about whether Yan Chu liked her more or felt guilty when he asked her to marry him. At that moment, she was selfish. Even if it was just compensation, she wanted to be that person's wife. I want to stand by his side openly, even if it's just for a year, a month, or a day.

For Zhou Mingli, everything she has now was stolen from her.

Yan Chu didn't know what the other person was thinking at this time, but it didn't matter, she could steal this happiness for a lifetime.

A lifetime of drinking together will last until the end of the spring.

*****

"Ziziz——"

A strange machine failure or a sound like poor electromagnetic reception came from Yan Chu's ears. Yan Chu, who had just fallen asleep, suddenly opened his eyes, and his consciousness appeared in the consciousness space.

"007, you finally showed up."

Yan Chu almost fell to his knees because of this unreliable system. For so many years, no matter how he called the other party, he would not come out. When he completed the task in his own way, the other party came out immediately.

"When you entered this space, it happened to be the system maintenance time once in a thousand years, so there were some small probability failures. The rewards for completing tasks in this world are doubled, and there is no penalty for failure."

It's also strange that 007 ignored it. It originally didn't expect that Yan Chu could complete the task in the previous world so quickly. It thought that it would be too late to wait until it completed the repairs before sending the other person to the next world. Unexpectedly, the other person came out early and did not wait for it. Then we entered the next world.

This is a host that it is very optimistic about, and it will still feel distressed if something happens to it, but now it seems that the other party seems to be coping well.

"Let me see how well you have completed your mission."

Without receiving the main plot and the original memory, 007 thought that Yan Chu's mission completion rate should not be particularly high, but looking at it, he found that he still underestimated the other party.

"Ding - Main mission one: Unify the Three Kingdoms and proclaim the emperor as king. Completed 100%, reward points 800. Side mission one: Save the lives of the entire Yan family. Completed 100%, reward points 600. Side mission two: Repay Zhou Mingli, completed The other party’s wish is 100% fulfilled and the reward points are 600. The third side task: revenge on Zhou Mingzhu, Fu Cong and others is 100% fulfilled and the reward points are 600.”

"The total reward points are 2,600. Therefore, the world system failed and the rewards were doubled. The total remaining points are now 6,700."

This mission can be said to be a great harvest. When 007 finished talking about this mission, the memory of the small world that was originally lacking also appeared in Yan Chu's mind.

There is nothing wrong with the fact that the person entrusting the world this time is the body he possesses, but to be precise, it should be Yan Chu in the world after Zhou Mingzhu was reborn.

In that world, because Yan Chu did not appear, the original person, who had very unclear memories of his childhood, did not notice the subtle difference in the inkstone on the so-called treasonous letter. Therefore, under irrefutable evidence, he became everyone People talk about treasonous sinners.

At that time, Yan Chu's hands and legs were all broken. Because of his past military exploits, he was sentenced to be exiled to Qianmo, the coldest place in the far north of the Zhou Kingdom. Although the original person at that time felt that he had a wish, it did not reach the level of hatred. , until he heard that his mother was unjustly accused of adultery and committed suicide due to unbearable humiliation. His grandmother became ill because of his mother and his affairs, and passed away soon after. His eldest aunt and cousins ​​suffered all day long because of his affairs with his mother. Pointing at her, the original body became angry after her youngest cousin was raped and killed by several children of a family who had an old grudge against the Yan family, but no results were obtained.

The Yan family has guarded this territory for the people of the Zhou Dynasty for generations. They thought he was collaborating with the enemy and treason, and it didn't matter to them that they scolded him and humiliated him. But his mother, his grandmother, and his cousins ​​were so innocent. Those who were killed by them What have their sons, their husbands, and the people their fathers protected with their lives done to them?

Those arrogant people are just living demons.

Qianmo is a place very close to the Jiang State. Since everyone says that he is collaborating with the enemy and treason, he will betray them. He will help the Jiang State to regain the land that was once guarded by the Yan family. Since they If they choose to spurn their protective god, then the god will also withdraw all the protection he once gave them.

The original person changed his name and surname and sneaked into Jiang State. He scratched his face and appeared in Jiang State as a disabled counselor. At the same time, he also began to search for the true reason why he was framed in the first place, and Discover Zhou Mingzhu's role behind the scenes.

For ten years, wars broke out frequently in this territory. The Jiang and Ming states seemed to have famous people to guide them, and they were like divine help on the battlefield. Soon the Zhou state was cannibalized by the two countries, but it happened that the Ming and Jiang states originally belonged to the Zhou state. There is a stalemate in the territory. Today you take away two of my cities, and tomorrow I will take back three more. There will never be a winner, which makes the people of this country miserable.

Hundreds of thousands or millions of Zhou people were displaced. They experienced wars, famines, and epidemics. Facing the defeated Zhou State and the Ming and Jiang States that were raging on Zhou's land, they began to miss their original majesty on the battlefield. The illustrious Yan family remembers that in the past, there was a group of people who led the Zhou army on the battlefield countless times to resist the invasion of other countries and defend their country.

Now the Yan family is gone, and so is their home.

At that time, the original person had already gone crazy. It was in response to the sentence Yan Chu heard: "My Yan family is full of loyal people. Since God wants to destroy my Yan family, then I will destroy this world." The Zhou Kingdom had been defeated. , Ming Kingdom and Jiang Kingdom should not exist in this world, and everything will be destroyed.

Because of the original instigation, the Ming and Jiang Kingdoms fell into an endless war of resistance. Their national power was extremely scarce. Due to the huge war losses, the people in the country had almost no food to eat and no clothing to wear.

Until one day, the new emperor of the Jiang Kingdom came to inspect the border with the queen mother. That queen mother was none other than Zhou Mingli.

Like this world, Zhou Mingli in that world chose to marry King Jiang in order to give him a chance to overturn his verdict. This time, King Jiang also died on the wedding night.

Zhou Mingli's method was very clever. After the seventh prince had the last laugh, she secretly encouraged the other princes' mothers' families to join forces, pull down the seventh prince, and support the thirteenth prince, the youngest, who was only three years old, to be the puppet emperor. .

Several major families in the Jiang Kingdom checked and suppressed each other. In the end, it was Zhou Mingli, the nominal empress dowager, who reaped the benefits.

She recognized at a glance the disfigured man who always haunted the military camp with a cane.

Zhou Mingli took him to a place where he met several surviving cousins ​​​​of the Yan family and their children.

After that day, both the Ming and Jiang states lost a mysterious counselor who was always stirring up trouble. In the courtyard of a certain house in the original Zhou state, there was a girl named Mingzhu and a girl named Mingzhu who had an unstable temper and beat themselves up from time to time. A disfigured man who was Fu Cong's servant.

Five years later, Jiang State swallowed up the territory of Ming State. When Emperor Jiang State was nine years old, Queen Mother Jiang launched a coup to depose the young puppet emperor, proclaimed herself the queen, and changed the name of the country to Yan.

Historical records record that Empress Jiang Zhou worked hard to govern, and during her reign, the country was peaceful and the people were peaceful. She died at the age of sixty-eight. Before her death, she adopted an heir, King Qin.

The King of Qin was the son of the former deposed emperor, and his biological mother was Jiang Yan. According to rumors, she was a child of the Yan family, a famous general of the Zhou Dynasty.
