Qi Tongwei is reborn, and he changes his fate by striking the bell

In the vast river of time and space, an unexpected energy fluctuation drags Qi Tongwei, an elite lawyer in modern society, into an ancient dynasty called "Apocalypse", an era where power and conspiracy are intertwined. Here, he is no longer the lawyer who argued and acted righteously in court, but has become the son of a powerful official, a figure destined to be remembered by history but passed down through the ages as a villain - Qi Tonghui (the name is slightly changed here to distinguish between ancient and modern times).

When Qi Tonghui opened his eyes, he found himself in a magnificent mansion, wearing gorgeous clothes, surrounded by kneeling servants and maids. Everything seemed strange and familiar. He soon realized that he had not only traveled through time, but also inherited all the memories and identity of the original owner of this body - a nobleman who seemed to be in a prosperous situation but was actually deeply involved in the vortex of power struggle.

“Now that I’m here, I’ll make the best of it.” Qi Tonghui said to himself. He quickly adjusted his mindset and decided to use his modern knowledge and wisdom to turn the tide and rewrite his destiny in this era.

At first, he carefully observed the rules and relationships of this era, and found that there was a young and promising prince in the court named Yun Che, who was regarded as the future crown prince, and his father was one of Yun Che's biggest political enemies. According to the original owner's memory, this road was full of thorns and dangers, and would eventually end in the destruction of the family.

Qi Tonghui decided to change all this. He not only wanted to protect his family, but also wanted to stand at the pinnacle of power and let everyone see that even a villain can write his own glorious chapter.

He first used his deep understanding of the law to secretly reform the family business, making it more legal and compliant, reducing competition with the people, and winning the secret support of the people. At the same time, he began to emerge in the court, and with his keen insight and unique insights, he resolved crises many times and won the emperor's appreciation.

However, the real challenge comes from Yun Che. This prince is not only extremely intelligent, but also has a group of loyal counselors and generals. Qi Tonghui knows that if he wants to completely defeat Yun Che, a head-on confrontation is far from enough. He began to make plans and secretly cultivate his own forces. At the same time, he took advantage of the information asymmetry and put Yun Che in trouble many times, but lent a helping hand at the critical moment, making Yun Che hate and respect him.

Once, Yun Che was framed for treason due to a conspiracy and faced a life-and-death crisis. Just when everyone thought Qi Tonghui would add insult to injury, he stepped forward and used his wisdom and connections to expose the real mastermind behind the scenes and save Yun Che from the dire situation. This move surprised everyone and made Yun Che look at him with new eyes.

“Why did you save me?” Yun Che looked at Qi Tonghui with complicated expressions in his eyes.

"Because, what I, Qi Tonghui, want is to keep pace with you, not to step on you." Qi Tonghui smiled faintly, with confidence and ambition flashing in his eyes.

As time goes by, a delicate balance is formed between Qi Tonghui and Yun Che. The two grow together in struggle and cooperation, and gradually become the indispensable heroes of the Apocalypse Dynasty. In the process, Qi Tonghui gradually changes his fate as a "villain". He proves with his actions that even a soul that travels through time can shine brightly in this era.

Finally, as the wheel of history rolled forward, the Apocalypse Dynasty ushered in a new era, and Qi Tonghui and Yun Che joined hands to write a legend together. Those who had tried to look down on him, laugh at him, or even want to defeat him could only look at his back helplessly, and sigh at the extraordinary charm and wisdom of this villain protagonist.

As the Apocalypse Dynasty entered an unprecedented period of prosperity, the cooperative relationship between Qi Tonghui and Yun Che became closer, but the undercurrent between the two never stopped. Qi Tonghui knew that the real power struggle was often hidden under the surface harmony, and he must always be vigilant in order to be invincible in this war without gunpowder.

One day, the Tianqi Imperial City suddenly received an urgent report from the border that the barbarian coalition forces in the northern border were invading in a massive manner. The important border towns were lost one after another, and the people were displaced. The situation was critical. The emperor was furious and summoned all the civil and military officials to discuss countermeasures. There were different opinions in the court. Some advocated peace talks to protect the country; others advocated going to war and defending the territory to the death.

Yun Che stood up, his eyes were firm and his voice was loud: "Father, I am willing to lead the troops to fight and swear to drive the barbarians out of the country and protect the peace of Tianqi!"

The emperor was pleased when he heard this. Just as he was about to agree, he saw Qi Tonghui slowly walk out of the queue, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I have a plan that may resolve this crisis."

Everyone was shocked and looked at Qi Tonghui, wanting to know what good plan this son of a powerful official, who was known for his wisdom, had.

Qi Tonghui continued calmly, "The reason why the barbarians dare to be so arrogant is because our border defenses are loose and our armaments are insufficient. If we send troops directly, although we can solve the problem temporarily, it may not last long. I suggest that we should first strengthen the border defenses and improve the armaments, and at the same time send envoys to the barbarians to divide and alienate them in the name of peace. Furthermore, I am willing to go to the northern border in person to discuss countermeasures with the border generals to ensure that nothing goes wrong."

After hearing this, the emperor pondered for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement. He appointed Qi Tonghui as the imperial commissioner with full responsibility for the affairs of the northern border.

After receiving the order, Qi Tonghui immediately set off for the northern border. Along the way, he went deep into the people and learned about their sentiments. He found that the people in the border areas lived in poverty and had many complaints about the court. He knew that to win this war, he had to win the hearts of the people first. So he ordered tax reductions and exemptions, opened warehouses to release grain, and organized the people to build fortifications to improve the combat effectiveness of the army.

In the northern border, Qi Tonghui fought side by side with frontier generals and discussed tactics together. He used his understanding of modern warfare to propose many novel and practical strategies, such as establishing an intelligence network to keep abreast of the movements of the barbarians; implementing guerrilla tactics to defeat the enemy with fewer troops and consume the enemy's strength; and taking advantage of the terrain to set up an ambush circle and give the enemy a fatal blow.

Under Qi Tonghui's careful planning, the Apocalypse army gradually reversed the situation, and the barbarian coalition began to retreat. However, at this moment, a shocking news came - Yun Che accidentally fell into an ambush while chasing the enemy, and his life and death were uncertain.

Qi Tonghui was horrified upon hearing the news. He knew that if Yun Che died, he would be doomed. He immediately summoned elite troops and led them to rescue. After a hard and arduous battle, Qi Tonghui finally found Yun Che, who was seriously injured and unconscious, in a valley.

"Yun Che! You can't die!" Qi Tonghui picked up Yun Che, his eyes full of anxiety and worry. He quickly checked Yun Che's injuries and found that although they were serious, they were not incurable. He immediately ordered someone to find a military doctor to treat Yun Che.

After a night of intensive treatment, Yun Che was finally out of danger. When he woke up and saw Qi Tonghui guarding his bedside, a complex emotion surged in his heart. He had never thought that this person who had been his biggest rival would save his life at a critical moment.

“Why save me?” Yun Che’s voice was hoarse and low.

Qi Tonghui smiled slightly, his eyes sparkling with sincerity and determination: "Because we are brothers. No matter how many grievances we have had in the past, in the face of national justice, we are always comrades in arms."

Yun Che was shocked when he heard this. He had never thought that he and Qi Tonghui would have such an emotional bond. He held Qi Tonghui's hand tightly, tears flashing in his eyes: "Thank you, Tonghui. From now on, I, Yun Che, owe you my life."

Qi Tonghui shook his head and said with a smile: "There is no need to thank you between you and me. As long as we can work together, the future of Tianqi will definitely be better."

However, for Qi Tonghui, this victory is just a stop on his journey of life. He knows that the real challenge has just begun. In the days to come, he will continue to contribute to the prosperity and stability of the Tianqi Dynasty with his wisdom and courage. And the story between him and Yun Che will also become an immortal legend in the history of Tianqi.

After defeating the barbarian coalition, the Tianqi Dynasty ushered in a rare period of peace and prosperity. The cooperation between Qi Tonghui and Yun Che not only stabilized the border, but also brought about subtle changes in the power structure in the court. Although the two had their own thoughts, they maintained a deep friendship and cooperation on the surface, jointly assisting the emperor and governing the country.

However, undercurrents often surge beneath the calm. A dark force quietly rises within the Tianqi Dynasty. They are dissatisfied with the status quo and attempt to overthrow the emperor and seize the throne through a coup. The leader of this force is actually an old friend of Qi Tonghui, Li Yu.

Li Yu was originally an important official in the court, but due to a political disagreement, he was exiled by Qi Tonghui. Full of resentment, he unexpectedly gained the support of a mysterious force during the battle with the barbarians on the border, and thus embarked on the road of rebellion. He secretly colluded with some officials in the court who were dissatisfied with the status quo and secretly planned a coup.

Qi Tonghui soon noticed Li Yu's unusual behavior, but he did not take action immediately. He knew that direct confrontation would only make the situation more chaotic, and he had to find the right time and strategy to destroy the rebels in one fell swoop.

So he began to make secret arrangements. On the one hand, he strengthened the guard of the imperial city to prevent rebel raids. On the other hand, he secretly sent his confidants to the border to collect evidence of Li Yu's rebellion and unite with border generals to form a pincer attack from both inside and outside.

At the same time, Yun Che also noticed something strange in the court. After discussing with Qi Tonghui, he decided to jointly investigate the matter. The two divided the work and cooperated, Qi Tonghui was responsible for the internal investigation, while Yun Che was responsible for the military deployment of the border to prevent any accidents.

After a period of careful preparation, Qi Tonghui finally got solid evidence of Li Yu's rebellion. He immediately reported the matter to the emperor and asked the emperor to authorize him to handle the matter. After hearing this, the emperor was furious and immediately issued an order to order Qi Tonghui and Yun Che to jointly suppress the rebellion.

After receiving the order, Qi Tonghui and Yun Che quickly mobilized the army and marched towards the location of the rebels. Along the way, they overcame many difficulties, repelled the rebels' ambushes many times, and finally successfully surrounded the rebels' main camp.

On the day of the decisive battle, the two armies fought fiercely on the vast plain. Qi Tonghui and Yun Che led the elite troops to charge and break through the enemy lines, and were invincible. Although the rebels were numerous, they were quickly defeated under the heroic command of the two.

Seeing this, Li Yu knew that the situation was hopeless, so he led a few trusted men to break out and escape. However, he was unable to escape Qi Tonghui's careful layout. In a narrow valley, Qi Tonghui had already set up an ambush, waiting for Li Yu to fall into the trap.

When Li Yu led his troops into the valley, there was a sudden roar of killing and arrows raining down from all directions. Li Yu's confidants fell one after another, and he himself was seriously injured and captured alive by Qi Tonghui's personal soldiers.

"Tonghui... why do you treat me like this?" When Li Yu was brought in front of Qi Tonghui, his eyes were full of unwillingness and resentment.

Qi Tonghui looked at him coldly, his tone calm and firm: "You are wrong. It's not about how I treat you, but how you treat Tianqi and the people. Power and status have never been tools to satisfy selfish desires. You betrayed the country and the people. You have brought this upon yourself."

Upon hearing this, Li Yu's face turned pale and he said nothing. Qi Tonghui immediately ordered him to be escorted back to Beijing to await the emperor's decision.

After the war to suppress the rebellion, the Tianqi Dynasty once again ushered in peace and tranquility. The achievements of Qi Tonghui and Yun Che were highly praised by the emperor. Not only were they named princes, but they were also granted more power and glory.

However, for Qi Tonghui, these honors and powers are nothing but passing clouds. He knows that the real power lies in the hearts of the people and in the ability to bring real benefits to the country and the people. He continues to contribute his wisdom and courage to the prosperity and stability of the Tianqi Dynasty.

At the same time, his friendship with Yun Che also deepened. Not only did they cooperate well in the court, but they also became close friends who could talk about anything in private. They had experienced countless ups and downs together, witnessed the rise and fall of the Tianqi Dynasty, and also witnessed each other's growth and transformation.
