The villain system of Mingyue in Qin Dynasty

Autumn is deep.

In the bustling city, the lights are getting tired. On the long street, the flow of people gradually died down.

Since Qin unified the six kingdoms, there have been almost wars in the world.

In a house with a high gate and deep walls, there are always county guards patrolling in front of the door.

Although he doesn't wear fine armor, he still has an awe-inspiring look. Under the moonlight, the cold light shines.

At the corner of the eaves, dark shadows flowed.

A group of Qin soldiers patrolled by, and a pale woman walked out of the alley.

"Hall Master!"

Above the eaves, a dark shadow appeared, kneeling on one knee in front of the woman.

"Sanniang, are you ready?"

"Hall Master, Yang Kai's men have all been dealt with."

Mei Sanniang raised her lowered head, with a cold light flashing in her eyes.

As a peasant disciple who had personally experienced that dangerous night, Mei Sanniang had the pleasure of getting the answer on her face.

Mei Sanniang was born in the Pijia clan of Wei State, and she always enjoyed grudges and grudges. That night was almost between life and death. Even thinking about it now, Mei Sanniang still has lingering fears.

"Let's go!" Tian Yan said softly and walked out of the alley.

The patrolling guard had just passed by, and everything was under Tian Yan's calculations. She walked to the door of Yang Mansion, and without warning, the side door opened gently. The guards in the courtyard have all been subdued by the masters of Lieshan Hall. Tian Yan knows that she doesn't have much time tonight.

Yang Kai's cultivation level is not weak, but he is not famous among the Qin army. Up to now, he only holds the position of a school captain, and his title is only a sixth-level official.

In the entire empire, there are as many such middle-level generals as crucian carp crossing the river, and they are not conspicuous.

However, such a person led tens of thousands of Qin troops to encircle and suppress the wedding banquet. The heads of the four farm halls and countless martial arts masters all died in his hands.

It was late at night, and dim lights were still flickering in the house.

Tian Yan walked across the courtyard to the door of Yang Kai's study and gently opened the partition door in the corridor.

Yang Kai was not surprised when two beautiful women suddenly appeared in his home.

He was standing in front of the desk, but now he put down the bamboo slips in his hands.

"You don't seem surprised!"

Tian Yan walked into Yang Kai's study under the protection of Mei Sanniang.

As an official, Yang Kai has 700 acres of land, which is much more generous than the average wealthy family.

However, the decorations displayed in his study did not match his rank.

Simple, quite simple.

The book desks are all made of the most common elm wood, and the bamboo slips placed on them are also very leaky. The ropes tied to the bamboo slips are rotten, and the bamboo slips can only be tied up reluctantly.

"Whatever is supposed to come will come, but I didn't expect that you would be the first one to come to me."

Yang Kai sighed and said.

"Do you know me?" Tian Yan looked at the furnishings in his study and asked with interest.

"Master Lieshan Hall!"

"Since you know me, you should know my purpose of coming!" Tian Yan stopped his pace, stood in front of Yang Kai, and said.

The gentle woman smiled brightly, but Mei Sanniang behind her had an angry look on her face, waving the scythe in her hand and asking.

"Say it!"

"As a general of the empire, I am only following orders. Since you have become the master of the hall, why bother with it."

"Cut the nonsense."

Mei Sanniang waved the giant scythe in her hand and wanted to go up and teach this guy a lesson, but Tian Yan reached out to stop him.

"I originally thought that the army that attacked the wedding banquet that night was sent by Prince Qin, but I later followed the clues and found out that this was not the case." Tian Yan looked at Yang Kai with sharp eyes and asked.

"So who is directing behind the scenes?"

Yang Kai smiled, pulled out the long sword from the sword stand, and pointed it at Tian Yan.

Mei Sanniang dodged and stood in front of Tian Yan, watching him warily.

"Master Lieshan Hall, sometimes knowing more does not mean it is beneficial. I advise you to stop this matter with Yang!" After saying that, Yang Kai actually drew his sword and killed him.

Looking at Yang Kai falling to the ground. Tian Yan closed his eyes and let out a long sigh, seeming to feel regret.

"Hall Master, he died like this?"

Mei Sanniang's tone revealed disbelief.

"There are many chivalrous people in the land of Yan and Zhao. Yang Kai was originally a surrendered general of the Yan Kingdom. What a pity!" Tian Yan sighed.

"Master, look."

Mei Sanniang pointed at Yang Kai's body, and a foreign object was exposed in his sleeve.

Mei Sanniang brought it to Tian Yan, unfolded it, and saw that it was a brocade handkerchief.

The paintings on it are exquisite, the knitting is delicate, and the embroidered patterns appear to be something for women. This expensive brocade handkerchief obviously formed a sharp contrast with the simple furnishings in the room, and was somewhat out of place.

Mei Sanniang said a little strangely: "This Yang Kai can be considered a man after all, how can he bring a woman's belongings with him?"

Tian Yan looked at the blood-stained brocade handkerchief, frowned, and said, "This doesn't seem to be a folk thing?"

"Master, what do you mean?" Mei Sanniang has practiced martial arts since she was a child and has never cared much about things between women.

"Looking at the materials and stitching of this brocade handkerchief, it seems to come from the Shaofu." Tian Yan rubbed the brocade handkerchief in his hand and said.

"What does the hall master mean?" Mei Sanniang asked.

"I'm not sure yet. I'm going to ask Xiaolan. Before she was assigned to the eldest son's residence, she used to be a maid in the weaving room. Maybe she knows."

….

"Yes, this is indeed from the Orihime."

Xiaolan looked at the brocade handkerchief Tian Yan handed over, nodded and said. "But this is just the most common fabric in the weaving room. Basically every maid in the room has a personal item like this."

"Oh?" Tian Yan raised his brows and said, "So, the owner of this brocade handkerchief should also be the maid in the weaving room."

"It should be." Xiaolan said in a deep voice, "But the background of the Weaver Maid is complicated. Princesses, concubines, maids of the Six Kingdoms, wives of criminal officials, and clan girls are all filled in. If you want to find the owner of this brocade handkerchief, you will be afraid. It’s not that easy.”

Although Tian Yan is the master of Lieshan Hall and is very famous in the world, he cannot investigate the affairs deep in the palace.

"Hall Master, if we want to continue the investigation, it seems we can only rely on the power of the eldest son."

Mei Sanniang said.

"Yes, this is indeed the best choice." Tian Yan murmured, his words drawn out. There is a different meaning in the words.

Mei Sanniang and Xiaolan looked at Tian Yan and were very surprised. Why should they hesitate? I saw her pacing in the room, seeming to be thinking about something. After a long while, she asked: "Where's the news from the cloud?"

Mei Sanniang said in a deep voice: "After Prince Qin came out of the fortress, the Jianghu forces in various places in Yunzhong were very active. Not long ago, the dark spots of other forces in Yunzhong were surrounded and suppressed by the Xuance Army of Wei Zhuang. Ours was also implicated and was They were forced to withdraw from Yunzhong. However, the last news came that Prince Qin had not yet returned with his army."

"Prince Qin left fortress in midsummer, and it's already late autumn. Could it be that there was an accident on the way?" Tian Yan said softly, but his breath was a little hurried.

Xiaolan was slightly startled, but did not speak and lowered her head slightly. Mei Sanniang waved her hand carelessly and said nonchalantly: "Who knows? Those places in the north of Saibei have complex terrain and are very desolate. Even barbarians dare not set foot in some places easily. While the army was marching, People often get lost in the wind and sand."

Xiaolan looked at Mei Sanniang who was showing off and asked doubtfully: "Sanniang, when did you become so knowledgeable and know so many things about Saibei?"

"Haha!" Mei Sanniang touched her head and said awkwardly: "I listened to the old men in the hall. They discussed it all day long, studying the march route, supplies, success or failure, etc... "

Tian Yan understood that Prince Qin's departure from the fortress was attracting everyone's attention to a certain extent. Because this military operation was different from the previous ones, it was a pure cavalry battle. Among the hundreds of schools of thought, many scholars who are proficient in military affairs are watching.

However, unlike their pure research and theater-watching mentality, Tian Yan felt more concerned in his heart.

"Don't spread this matter out yet, I have my own idea." Tian Yan said.

"Yes! Hall Master!"

…

Stuffed with first snow.

The Great Wall has been covered with a layer of white frost.

The defenders of the Great Wall were patrolling as usual, but today, the situation was different.

The rumble of horse hooves could be heard in the distance, and a group of Great Wall defenders stopped in their tracks and stopped to watch.

"Fifth Commander, look, a large group of cavalry is coming towards us!"

The soldiers in the team had obviously not experienced any major battles, and they said in surprise, with a hint of nervousness in their tone.

"It's rare to see this, but it's strange!" The corps commander looked at the new soldier who had just arrived from the garrison, and scolded him: "Go and report to the Five Hundred Lord!"

"Yes!" The recruit quickly ran into the beacon, and a burly man walked out of it, who was the highest officer guarding the mountain pass.

The group of cavalry quickly entered everyone's field of vision from far to near. The five hundred masters squinted their eyes and looked closely, with joy on their faces. As the group of cavalry approached, one of them escaped, came to the city fortress, and shouted: "I am the Cavalry Commander under His Royal Highness, open the city gate quickly and prepare, Your Highness is coming."

There was joy on the face of the Five Hundred Lord, but he still asked cautiously: "Do you have any proof?"

The captain was skilled in bow and horse. He took the long bow on the horse and shot an arrow at the city gate.

The five hundred masters pulled out the long arrow and took out the talisman on it. After confirming it, he said to the soldiers beside him: "Switch!"

The soldier pulled the winch with difficulty, and the thick rope was pulled inch by inch. The huge and heavy copper door slowly opened, leaving a small gap.

The captain rode in alone. After dismounting, he walked up the city wall and said to the Five Hundred Masters: "His Royal Highness is coming, prepare the switch quickly."

"General, I understand!" The five hundred masters took the order and asked, "Why did it take so long for His Highness to come out of the fortress?"

"Hey! It's not those barbarians who are causing trouble. We sneak attacked Shanyu Wangting, and those barbarians bit us, and it took a lot of effort to escape."

"What!"

The five hundred masters were startled and asked: "What?"

"It doesn't matter, we lost some men and horses, and the Huns were not much better. But the results were not bad, especially in that battle, we copied a lot of good things from the court of Shan Yu!" The cavalry captain showed off his face said.

"We used to say that the barbarians were wolves of the prairie, but now it seems that they are nothing more than that. The empire's cavalry is not much worse than them!"

A loud horn sounded, with a heavy and simple sound, and it came clearly.

The captain of the cavalry guarded the crenel and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's army is here. Open the city gate quickly and get ready."

The leader of the five hundred people looked at the obvious flag among the cavalry and shouted: "Open the city gate!"

The red-armored cavalry quickly filed in through the huge stone statue gate, passed through the mountain road between the two peaks, and entered the pass behind.

"It's so cold!" Ying Ziyi exhaled and rode his horse slowly into the fortress. But he didn't expect that a woman was already waiting in the fortress.

"Shi Lan!"

Ying Ziyi called softly. The face of the woman in front of her became more and more beautiful. There were tears in the corners of her eyes, but the corners of her mouth were raised. She seemed to be crying but not crying, and seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

Until behind Ying Ziyi, a horse walked out. A beautiful woman in a Hu skirt was riding on a horse and asked with a smile: "Your Highness, who is this sister?"

The woman's words were full of tenderness, but the gaze she cast on Shi Lan made Shi Lan's heart feel inexplicably tight and a little aggrieved.

"This is Shi Lan!" Ying Ziyi got off his horse and introduced to Tuo Ba Yue.

"This is Tuoba Yue!"

Ying Ziyi pulled Tuo Ba Yue off the horse, and the close and intimate look made her feel even more aggrieved in Shi Lan's eyes.

I have been waiting for him here for several months, but this bastard came back with a woman!

At that moment, Shi Lan had the urge to turn around and leave, but after thinking about it, wouldn't she be lowering her head in front of this woman?

Shi Lan ran over, happily pulled Ying Ziyi's arm, leaned on his shoulder, and said with a smile: "Ziyi, you are finally back."

All the soldiers looked at the people hugging each other, but they all kept silent. Anyone who had some understanding knew that the water was very deep. They lowered their heads and said nothing. Remove armor when it's time to remove it, pull horses when it's time to pull them, arrange weapons when it's time to do them, and do your own thing.

Of course, Ying Ziyi, who was in the center of the whirlpool, was in a dilemma at this moment.

"It turns out to be Sister Shi Lan! Yue'er is so polite here!" Tuoba Yue pursed her lips and looked at Shi Lan, gnashing her teeth.

Along the way from the city fortress to Yunzhong City, the two women competed with each other. Ying Ziyi finally understood what Shura Field was.

After bidding farewell to everyone who came to greet them, the three of them went straight to the Yunzhong Temple.

Ying Ziyi listened drowsily until Tuoba Yue said: "Your Highness promised to marry me."

Shi Lan loosened her grip on Ying Ziyi's shoulders and looked at Ying Ziyi, feeling aggrieved. She angrily walked into her bedroom next to Yunzhong Hall.

Only Tuoba Yue was left holding Ying Ziyi, smiling triumphantly.

On the bed, Shi Lan was crying while packing her luggage.

At this time, Xiaohe walked in.
