Help! The system forces me to support a man to become a royal concubine

Tan Yue was startled, and turned to look at the imperial concubine, with a complicated look on his face, "How could this happen? Is it so unsafe outside the palace?" Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, followed by a guard who hurried in, knelt on one knee, and anxiously reported: "General, according to the spies' report, the bandits seem to be preparing to gather their forces and intend to attack the village at night."

Hearing this, Xiao Jidan's eyes flashed with worry, and he looked at Tan Yue: "What should we do now? We are short-handed. If there is a head-on conflict, I'm afraid that innocent people will suffer."

"We must take action immediately." Tan Yue said in a deep voice, and then ordered the guard, "Strengthen patrols and make sure there are guards in every corner of the village. At the same time, notify all villagers to evacuate as soon as possible. We may have a tough battle tonight."

"General, you are wise!" The guard took the order, quickly left the room, and began the intensive deployment work.

Yun Fu and Little Egg looked at each other, and there was a tacit understanding in their eyes. Yun Fu said softly to Tan Yue: "Little Egg and I can help you. Some of my special abilities may come in handy in this situation."

Tan Yue nodded, his gratitude overflowing with words: "Then I'll have to trouble you two. This concerns the safety of the villagers, and we can't afford to make any mistakes."

At this point, the imperial concubine finally mustered up the courage to speak, her tone full of shock and fear: "I never thought that life outside the palace would be so difficult. General Tan, I am willing to tell you everything I know in order to seek your help."

Tan Yue frowned slightly, then relaxed: "You mean the information about those bandits? Any clue is crucial. Now, we need to unite all our forces."

"It's not just the bandits." The imperial concubine lowered her voice, her eyes flickering, "It's about the palace, about...some undercurrents."

As they talked, the night outside the window became darker and darker, and the wind seemed to become restless, bringing waves of oppressive air. Tan Yue took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "There is no time to lose, we must act. Imperial Concubine, please wait here, we will take care of everything."

Just as the group was about to leave, a breathless servant rushed in: "General, it's bad! Someone discovered the bandits' secret camp at the west end of the village!"

Tan Yue's eyes flashed, and he gave a decisive order: "Gather the people, we will set off now. Imperial Concubine, please stay here, it is our responsibility to ensure your safety."

The imperial concubine quickly grabbed Tan Yue’s sleeve and said, “Please be careful. If there is a chance, I would like to go with you, even if I can do something insignificant.”

Tan Yue looked back at her with a firm gaze: "Please rest assured, Concubine. We are sworn to protect this land and its people until death. When dawn comes, everything will be fine."

After that, Tan Yue, Yun Fu, Xiao Jidan and the village warriors quickly disappeared into the night, leaving Guifei alone with worry and determination in her eyes.

The moon is hanging high in the sky, the night is as dark as ink, and a silent battle is about to begin. In this quiet night, everyone's heart is inevitably stirred, with both fear of the unknown and expectation for tomorrow. In the upcoming challenge, can they protect the peace of this land and become true heroes?

"Yun Fu, do you think we can really win?" Little Egg asked in a low voice, with anxiety flashing in his eyes.

Yun Fu's lips curled up into a faint smile, but her eyes were filled with unquestionable determination: "Justice will eventually triumph over evil. As long as there is light in your heart, no matter how long the night is, dawn will always come."

As the two figures gradually blend into the night, an unknown and challenging journey quietly begins. At the end of this story, suspense is like a thread that pulls at the fate of each character, leading readers to look forward to the next chapter.

"Do you think they can really find and destroy the bandit camp?" Passerby A in the village looked at the direction where the three people were going away, and talked with B beside him, "General Tan and his men can always create miracles."

B nodded, his eyes full of admiration: "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, who would have thought that the imperial concubine, who is usually gentle and elegant, would have such a heroic side. It's really exciting." "General Tan, where are you going? Do you need my help?" The old stonemason in the east of the village put down the hammer in his hand, hobbled to the side of the road, supported his knees with his calloused hands, and asked with concern.

"Old man, please go back and have a rest first. Protecting yourself is the greatest help you can give us." Tan Yue responded as he walked, with firm steps, but he did not forget to turn back and give the old stonemason a comforting smile.

The lights in the village were sparse, and the occasional barking of dogs was particularly abrupt in the tense atmosphere. The group walked through the narrow alleys. Although the villagers had taken refuge according to Tan Yue's instructions, a few people still hid behind the door and quietly observed the scene.

"Look, that's General Tan. I heard he used to be an invincible general." A child lay on the windowsill and whispered to his sister, with admiration shining in his eyes.

"Brother, I also want to be a hero like General Tan." The younger sister blinked her eyes with a look of longing.

"Oh, it would be great if our village also had a powerful wizard, like Miss Yun Fu. I heard she can do magic." The child sighed, his words full of envy.

At the same time, Yun Fu and Xiao Jidan walked at the front of the team, discussing tactics in a low voice as they walked.

"Little Egg, you must find the right time to use your archery. Our goal is to disrupt the enemy formation and buy time for General Tan and his men." Yun Fu reminded, with a calm look in her eyes.

"Don't worry, Yun Fu. As long as it's for everyone, I will never fail." Little Egg patted the quiver behind him, his tone firm and full of confidence.

In the night wind, Tan Yue frowned. Not far ahead was the reported bandit camp, with flickering firelight, reflecting an ominous sign. "Are you ready, brothers?" He whispered to the warriors around him, with unquestionable power in his tone.

"Always be prepared!" The warriors' answer shocked Ye Feng, and their eyes burned with the same determination as Tan Yue's.

Just as the team was about to reach the edge of the camp, a mysterious man in a cloak blocked their way. "General Tan, slow down." The man's voice was low and somewhat elusive.

"Who are you? Why are you blocking my way?" Tan Yue asked warily, his hand quietly tightening the hilt of the sword at his waist.

The mysterious man slowly lifted a corner of his cloak, revealing half of his stern face: "I come from a place you would never expect, but I am here only to lend you a hand. There are many traps in the bandit camp. Without me, it will be difficult for you to break through easily."

Tan Yue looked at the person in front of him and finally decided to trust this unexpected help. "In that case, let's go together. However, I hope you can keep your promise."
