Happy life in the world of film and television

Chapter 1326 Zhang Qiniang's shock, first meeting with Ruyue

Zhang Qinniang!

At this moment, the person talking to Gu Qianfan in the room was none other than Zhang Qinnan.

Zhang Qinniang in "The Secret Code of Along the River During the Qingming Festival".

"Zhang Qiniang and Gu Qianfan?"

"Is there something fishy going on between them?"

"No, according to speculation, the person behind Zhang Qiniang is Emperor Cheng Zhao."

"And her adoptive father Zou Mian is just her white glove."

"Gu Qianfan considers himself a clean person in the play."

"But neither the clear stream nor the turbid stream is the emperor's man."

"So, now that Gu Qianfan has come to see Zhang Qiniang, things may not be that simple."

Thoughts flashed through his mind, and Jiang Chen's figure flashed and approached the room.

Soon, the voices of Gu Qianfan and Zhang Qinnan clearly reached Jiang Chen's ears.

Judging from what Gu Qianfan and Zhang Qinniang said, Gu Qianfan got the funding from Zhang Qinniang.

"Gu Qianfan is from the Imperial City Division, so now he represents the Imperial City Division..."

Relevant information about the Imperial City Bureau emerged in Jiang Chen’s mind.

The Imperial City Division was one of the military divisions of the Song Dynasty's imperial guards, and its old name was the Wude Division.

The functions of the Imperial City Administration were very broad. Not only did it have to guard the imperial city, protect the royal family, and maintain public order in the capital, it also had to monitor the military, economy, political conditions, and customs, and foreign affairs. In general, the personal, political, and economic security of the emperor was consolidated and maintained by the Imperial City Administration.

To put it bluntly, the Imperial City Bureau is an institution that was established when emperors could not obtain intelligence through public channels and sent secret agents to conduct private reconnaissance and spying to meet their needs.

In the Song Dynasty, the Imperial City Division was not under the jurisdiction of the Three Yamen, but was directly under the government; the head of the division was appointed by special decree of the government; the personal officials and personal officials of the division were all selected from the imperial guards.

The Imperial City Administration was composed of officials, clerks, soldiers, departments and bureaus.

Among them, officials are the chiefs of the Imperial City Department, including the Imperial City Envoy, the Deputy Imperial City Envoy, the Imperial City Department, the Imperial City Department Supervisor, and the Imperial City Department Supervisor. The chief of the Imperial City Department is the Imperial City Envoy, which is the position of Lei Jing, the Imperial City Department Envoy who appeared in Meng Hua Lu.

It was originally named Wudeshi, and was renamed as the Ministry of Rites. The appointment and removal of this position was a special appointment, that is, it was appointed by the emperor himself. This position was generally held by military officials and eunuchs. Eunuchs were required to be of the sixth rank of Ruinei Yaban or Duzhi level; military officials were required to be of the seventh rank of Wugong Dafu or above.

The clerks of the Imperial City Department in the Song Dynasty included one official in charge of the hook and one official in charge of the department, four people in front, six people in the back, and two officials in charge of the contract. In addition, there were two envoys in charge of the text inspection, two envoys in charge of the law department, two officials in charge of the chief official, two officials in charge of the department, two officials in charge of the department, two officials in charge of the department, two officials in charge of the department, and two officials in charge of the department.

The soldiers of the Imperial City Administration included five personal officers commanding nearly 3,000 people, six personal officers commanding more than 3,000 people, 500 people entering the inner courtyard (reduced to 200 people in the Southern Song Dynasty), 100 people in the fast and long marches, and three people in the toilet. The Southern Song Dynasty added soldiers to guard the inner courtyard (there was a long-term shortage of soldiers) and thirty people in the Caosi.

Yu Zhongquan, the imperial family official of the Imperial City Department, and Kong Wu, the imperial family official of the Imperial City Department's Investigation Department, who appeared in "Dream of Splendor", were both imperial guards under the Imperial City Department. Gu Qianfan, as one of the commanders, whether he was a personal attendant or a commander of a family, his main job was to act as the secret and privileged eyes and ears and claws of the government, responsible for investigation, arrest and imprisonment. Although he was of low rank, he had great power!

"According to the intelligence from the Royal Guards, the funding for the Imperial City Department comes from four sources."

"The first is the imperial court's funding. As a secret agency of the imperial court, the Imperial City Bureau's funding is mainly allocated directly by the imperial court. The imperial court will regularly allocate funds based on the duties and mission requirements of the Imperial City Bureau to ensure its normal operation."

"The second is the income from fines and confiscations. In the process of performing its duties, the Imperial City Bureau will punish illegal and criminal acts and confiscate the illegal gains. This part of the income from fines and confiscations will also serve as part of the funding source for the Imperial City Bureau."

"The third is special project funding: According to the Jinyiwei's investigation, the Imperial City Division may receive additional funding support for some special tasks or projects. For example, during major events or wars, the court may increase funding for the Imperial City Division to ensure that it can successfully complete its tasks."

"And the fourth is that the emperor paid out of his own pocket."

"But the emperor paid out of his own pocket for something special."

"So, Gu Qianfan is now asking Zhang Qiniang for funds, which means he is the fourth one."

"Is this one of the reasons why Zhang Qiniang exists?"

Jiang Chen reacted.

After hearing the conversation between Gu Qianfan and Zhang Qinnan, Jiang Chen flashed and hid.

Soon, Gu Qianfan left.

"Zhang Qiniang is indeed Zhang Qiniang. She spent two hundred thousand taels of silver at once."

After knowing the existence of Zhang Qinniang, Jiang Chen investigated Zhang Qinniang.

It’s a pity that even the Jinyiwei’s investigation did not know how much wealth Zhang Qinnan had.

"How about we talk to Zhang Qiniang?"

After meeting Zhang Qinnan last time, Jiang Chen wanted to conquer her.

The Jinyiwei's investigation is almost complete now. By chance today, can we get in touch with him?

Thinking of this, Jiang Chen disguised himself as a middle-aged man and walked in.

"Who?"

Zhang Qinnan felt Jiang Chen's presence at the first moment.

"Zhang Qi Niang."

Jiang Chen looked at Zhang Qinnan.

Zhang Qinniang in the play is cruel and ruthless, and takes human life lightly.

But Zhang Qiniang is in real estate.

Not to mention in ancient times, even in the first world, in Jiang Chen’s previous life, in those wild times, who among those engaged in real estate was not ruthless and merciless, and took human lives lightly?

Ye Jinyan, Xu Changye... Behind the scenes of these real estate tycoons, which one of them does not have a lot of bones?

"Who are you?" Zhang Qinnan immediately calmed down.

"My last name is Yu." Jiang Chen said.

"Yu?" Zhang Qiniang asked, "What can I do for you, sir?"

"I came here for you. I've heard that Zhang Qinnan from Kaifeng Prefecture is as beautiful as a flower. Today, when I see her, I find she is indeed so." Jiang Chen looked at Zhang Qinnan with an unscrupulous gaze, just like the way he looked at Shi Xiaoxiao when he went to the Jiaofangsi.

"What do you want?" Zhang Qinnan asked.

"I want to make a deal with you, Zhang Qinnan?" Jiang Chen said.

"Do you want to buy a house?" Zhang Qinnan asked.

"Hahaha." Jiang Chen laughed.

"Isn't it?" Zhang Qinnan asked.

"If I want to buy a house, do I need to look for you?" Jiang Chen glanced at Zhang Qiniang and said, "I'm here for your life."

"For my life? You are so funny, sir." Zhang Qinnan said.

"Zhang Qinniang of Kaifeng Prefecture controls half of the wealth of Kaifeng Prefecture. And you, Zhang Qinniang, are a woman, but you control such a huge fortune. The person behind you may not be Gu Qianfan who just left, right?" Jiang Chen found a place to sit down.

Zhang Qinnan’s beautiful eyes flashed.

Obviously, she didn't expect that Jiang Chen actually saw Gu Qianfan.

"Gu Qianfan is from the Imperial City Department, and the Imperial City Department belongs to the Emperor of Song, so behind you..." Jiang Chen chuckled and said, "But do you think you can rest easy knowing that he is the one behind you? No, it only takes one person and a knife to kill you."

"What do you want to say?" Zhang Qinnan said expressionlessly.

"Zhang Qinniang, you have offended many people in your development in Kaifeng Prefecture. Whether it is your opponent or the people behind you, if they want to kill you, they only need to find a few small characters. But are you willing to accept that?" Jiang Chen felt that Zhang Qinniang died at the hands of Chunxi in the play. Although it was because Zhang Qinniang was cruel and ruthless, it would have been impossible without the competition from the people behind her.

"so what?"

"I want to make a deal with you. At least I can save your life and let you live." Jiang Chen said.

"Will you save my life?" Zhang Qinnan seemed to have heard something funny.

"Not bad." Jiang Chen nodded.

"Just you?" Zhang Qinnan sneered.

"Yes, it's me." Jiang Chen grabbed Zhang Qinnan.

Crane control skill.

Zhang Qinnan was caught by Jiang Chen.

"You..." Zhang Qinnan was startled.

"Zhang Qiniang, I'll let you see my strength, and then you can decide whether to cooperate with me." Jiang Chen said.

"Are you from the underworld?" Zhang Qinnan was not panicked.

"Yes and no."

Jiang Chen brought Zhang Qinnan outside, then flew into the air and reached an altitude of two thousand meters above Kaifeng Prefecture.

"This is my strength." Jiang Chen said.

Zhang Qinnan was shocked and numb.

At this moment, Zhang Qinnan's eyes were full of disbelief.

In other words, Zhang Qinniang had never thought that someone could fly so high.

Are there any people in the underworld flying so high nowadays?

"Zhang Qiniang, I can save your life, not because I want to protect you, but because I want you to have the strength to protect yourself. As long as you are willing to trade with me, I will let you have my strength." Jiang Chen said.

"Taught me?"

"That's right." Jiang Chen nodded and said, "But you don't need to answer me now. I'll give you three days. If you think it through, we can make a deal."

"Okay." Zhang Qinnan did not refuse.

As a white glove, Zhang Qinnan had already prepared for death.

So, enjoy it when you should.

But if there is a glimmer of hope, she will not give up.

Although the emperor was powerful, a warrior who could carry people to such a high altitude obviously gave him hope of saving his life.

……

Jingxiu Villa.

"Qiu Min, what happened to you that makes you so happy?" Jiang Chen asked when he saw Qiu Min.

"Brother-in-law, why are you here?" Qiu Min asked.

"Can't I come?" Jiang Chen walked over.

"No, I'm asking you when you came to Kaifeng Prefecture." Qiu Min said.

"Oh, I came today." Jiang Chen replied.

"today?"

"Yes, Qiu Min, you haven't told me why you are so happy." Jiang Chen continued to ask.

"Nothing." Qiu Min's eyes flickered.

"What? You don't even want to tell me?" Jiang Chen looked at Jiang Chen curiously.

"Brother-in-law, this... you don't need to know yet. By the way, are you looking for my sister?" Qiu Min quickly changed the subject.

"Can't I just come to see you?" Jiang Chen said.

"Looking for me?" Qiu Min's heart trembled.

It was also at this time that she remembered that in the second world, Song Guo in the central continent was Jiang Chen’s concubine.

Even if Jiang Chen wanted her to sleep with him, he would not refuse.

"Isn't it possible?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Okay, but what do you want to talk to me about, brother-in-law?" Qiu Min asked.

"Do you know Zhang Qinnan from Kaifeng Prefecture?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Do you know that my brother-in-law has taken a fancy to her? Do you want me to arrange someone to propose marriage?" Qiu Min asked.

Boom!

Jiang Chen tapped Qiu Min on the forehead.

"What are you thinking?"

"Brother-in-law, you hit me." Qiu Min rubbed his forehead.

"Yes, so what?" Jiang Chen said.

"I'll tell my sister." Qiu Min said.

"Then what?" Jiang Chen asked.

"What then?" Qiu Min asked.

"What happens after you tell your sister?"

"After that, after that..." Qiu Min found that he couldn't speak.

"Qiu Min, if you tell tales, I will punish you." Jiang Chen said.

"Punish me? How?" Qiu Min asked subconsciously.

"Naturally..."

Jiang Chen approached Qiu Min and whispered, "Of course I want you to serve me."

"Brother-in-law." At this moment, Qiu Min felt her heart pounding.

"Hmm?" Jiang Chen looked at Qiu Min with a smile.

"I, I have something else to do..." As soon as he finished speaking, Qiu Min turned and ran.

Jiang Chen smiled.

In fact, Jiang Chen didn’t really want to do anything to Qiu Min.

However, it's also fun to joke around.

……

Daliang Continent, Daliang Dynasty, Imperial Palace.

"Your Majesty, these are my sisters, Sun Youde, Sun Yourong, and Sun Xiaoxian," Sun Youzhen introduced.

"I have met His Majesty."

Sun Youde, Sun Yourong, and Sun Xiaoxian bowed.

"Get up." Jiang Chen said.

Sun Youde and others are all characters in "Yu Lou Chun".

Sun Youde, the second daughter of the Sun family, married a man she didn't like and her husband died early. With the help of Lin Shaochun, she got rid of her evil mother-in-law and reunited with her lover. Sun Yourong, the third daughter of the Sun family, was not happy after marrying into a wealthy family, but with the help of Lin Shaochun, she finally reconciled with her husband's family and her life got better. Sun Xiaoxian, the fourth daughter of the Sun family, was born to Sun Xun's concubine.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Sun Youde's three daughters stood up.

"Please sit down." Jiang Chen looked at the three women.

Sun Youde and Xiao Yan were played by the same actor in the previous life.

Sun Yourong and Guan Juer were played by the same actor in their previous life.

As for Sun Xiaoxian, Jiang Chen thought of the beautiful and intelligent Xiao Li Ji in "The Legend of Qin", the female doctor Xiao Lin Xi in "Langya Bang: The Wind Rises in Changlin", and Xiao Yufei in "My Robot Boyfriend".

In this world of film and television fusion, Sun Xiaoxian is only in her teens.

"Your Majesty, I want to keep my three sisters by my side," said Sun Youzhen.

"Are you sure?" Information about Sun Youde's three daughters emerged in Jiang Chen's mind.

Sun Youde in the play has an excellent appearance. When he was young, he sneaked out to watch the lanterns, but he formed an indissoluble bond with Liu Wushuang, an actor from the Baixi Troupe. One was interested, the other was sincere, and after a few times, they promised to spend their lives together. However, the difference in family background became a natural barrier between people. In order to be together, Sun Youde decided to elope with her lover. Unexpectedly, she was caught by her father Sun Xun. From then on, one married far away, and the other pretended to be blind and promiscuous. The man Sun Youde chose was not up to her family background. And the merchant Sun Xun chose for her was a rare and good match? Who knew that she married into a den of wolves. Her husband died early, her mother-in-law was unkind, her brother-in-law was unrighteous, and she even had a sister-in-law who made trouble every day.

They coveted her money, forced her to marry far away, and forced her to commit suicide. All these things, one by one, a daughter of a minister, was treated like dirt by them.

Sun Yourong in the play has not been treated well by her family since she was born. A so-called bad fortune has sentenced her to death. When she is at home, she is ignored by her father and ignored by her sisters. The only one who treats her well is her third brother Sun Jinge. How can a daughter who is not loved by her parents get a good marriage? She is the daughter of the prime minister, but in the end, she married a white man.

The husband was incompetent, but also violent. He took out all his frustration and depression on Sun Yourong.

Will a daughter who marries a lower class have a good life?

That is impossible.

Others will only look down on you because you marry of a lower class.

Sun Xiaoxian is the youngest child of the Sun family, and the only one who was not born from the eldest lady's womb. However, she was able to survive under the control of the strong-armed eldest lady and give birth to a daughter. This aunt's means must be extraordinary. Perhaps it was because of the influence of her mother that although Sun Xiaoxian was young, she knew how to read people's expressions and was well versed in people's hearts.

Maybe because she had stayed in the inner house for too long, she actually regarded wealth and honor as passing clouds. When Concubine Sun was framed and the Sun family fell into trouble, Xiaoxian was sent to a farm in the countryside for refuge. Who would have thought that after the storm was over, Xiaoxian actually settled down with a cowherd boy. He was not a merchant, nor a fallen official, but a country bumpkin. Xiaoxian would have been fine if she had not deviated from the orthodoxy, but once she did, she actually became the first among Sun Xun's many children.

No matter how poor Sun Yulou was, the Lin Shaochun he married was at least a daughter of an official family.

Can Xiaoxian, who married down to such a low level, really be happy? According to the fate of her two sisters, it is probably a bit of a luxury to think of happiness.

When Jiang Chen first met Sun Youzhen, he wanted to meet Sun Youzhen's sister, but he didn't expect that Sun Youzhen would only come.

Will Jiang Chen refuse this?

Obviously not.

As for emotional issues?

Sun Youde and the others are not good people in the play, so there is no need for him to help others.

"Yes." Sun Youzhen had this idea as early as when she was in the first world, and this time after returning to the second world, she started chatting with her father.

However, her father was a big shot in the cabinet, and Sun Youde and Sun Yourong were both legitimate daughters, so they firmly disagreed.

She had to work very hard to get them to agree.

"It's good that you have made the decision. I support you. If you want to, you can train them after you go to Daming Palace." Jiang Chen did not refuse.

Sun Xiaoxian is fine.

Sun Youde and Sun Yourong both have good looks and figures.

"Okay, I'll arrange it." Sun Youzhen was delighted.

He has seen his own sister by his side. If Sun Youde and the others can be favored by Jiang Chen one day, the position of their Sun family in the Jiang family will be consolidated.

……

Mainland of the Qing Dynasty, Jiangning Mansion.

"Zhou Ying, how is business during this period?" Jiang Chen asked Zhou Ying.

"Young Master, during this period of time..." Zhou Ying recounted the business situation of the Star Caravan.

"It seems that the Star Caravan is developing better and better now." Jiang Chen said.

"We have inherent advantages, so it is reasonable that the Star Caravan has developed well," Zhou Ying said.

"There are advantages, but they are also inseparable from your management. I heard that you haven't even had much time to sleep during this period of time in order to develop the Star Caravan." Jiang Chen said.

"Sir, with my level of cultivation, it's okay to sleep less." Zhou Ying replied.

"Is your cultivation level as high as mine? I sleep all the time, but you don't? Zhou Ying, you need to combine work and rest." Jiang Chen said.

"I understand." Zhou Ying nodded.

"Come on, go out for a walk with me." Jiang Chen said. "Yes." Zhou Ying did not refuse.

After a while, Jiang Chen and Zhou Ying left the shop and came to the street of Jiangning Prefecture.

Jiang Chen and Zhou Ying talked as they walked.

"Is that Dexin?" Jiang Chen saw a shop.

"Well, the brand Dexin is very famous in Jiangnan." Zhou Ying said.

"Dexin belongs to the Xiao family, right?" Jiang Chen said.

"Yes."

Zhou Ying said: "That man is the boss of Dexin."

Jiang Chen looked carefully and saw Xiao Yuanfeng.

A character in "White Hand".

In the play, he is a famous businessman in Jiangnan. His "Dexin" brand is distributed in various industries in Jiangnan. He is rich and powerful, and his influence spans both the black and white worlds. His sworn brother and outsiders betrayed him, and died tragically after the failure, leaving behind Chu Yun, who was only 8 years old. He felt sorry for Chu Yun's orphanage at a young age, so he took him in as his adopted son regardless of past grudges and raised and taught Chu Yun to adulthood.

"I didn't expect it to be him."

"Another film and TV role."

The plot about Xiao Yuanfeng in the play in Jiang Chen’s mind.

"Sir, Dexin is an old brand and has a lot of competition with us," Zhou Ying said.

"Ah."

Jiang Chen nodded.

However, Jiang Chen did not say much to Xiao Yuanfeng and De Xin, and continued to move forward with Zhou Ying.

Along the way, Zhou Ying introduced Jiang Chen in various ways.

In terms of business, Zhou Ying is better after learning from other worlds.

She can even be compared with Su Tan'er and Liu Yuru.

But yes.

Zhou Ying in the drama is very powerful, and now that conditions are better, she is even more powerful.

Half an hour later, when Jiang Chen was about to return, he unexpectedly saw three people.

"It's them."

Jiang Chen recognized it.

Almost at the same time, the system prompt sounded.

"Sign in."

Jiang Chen thought silently in his heart.

[Congratulations to the host, you have signed in successfully and obtained a second-level inferior spiritual vein. ]

[Congratulations to the host, you signed in successfully and obtained ten thousand-year-old Tianshan Snow Lotuses. 】

"A second-level lower-grade spiritual vein?"

"This is the second time I signed in and got it."

"The first-grade inferior spirit vein is the lowest level spirit vein. The second-grade inferior spirit vein is the spirit vein second only to the first-grade inferior spirit vein."

"A first-grade lower-grade spirit vein can produce one hundred lower-grade spirit stones a year, while a second-grade lower-grade spirit vein can produce four hundred lower-grade spirit stones a year."

"This is good stuff."

"The Jiang family needs such a spiritual vein to build a system for obtaining spiritual stone resources."

"Ten thousand-year-old Tianshan snow lotuses?"

"I signed in and got ten thousand-year-old Tianshan Snow Lotuses from Ning Meng, Yuan Lai, Feng Zhiwei, Song Yudie, Yi Wenyan, Liu Yanping, Lin Shaochun, Jiang Tian, ​​Zhao Baner and others. So far, forty-five of them have been used up. Adding the ones my family got when they were promoted to the Celestial Clan, there are only one thousand and fifty thousand-year-old Tianshan Snow Lotuses left in the system space. Today, I finally signed in and got ten."

"However, this is only the twelfth time I signed in to get the Ten Thousand Year Old Tianshan Snow Lotus."

"Compared with other ten-thousand-year-old medicinal herbs, the ten-thousand-year-old Tianshan Snow Lotus doesn't get much."

At this moment, Jiang Chen looked at the signing hostess.

Shangguan Yan, a character in "White Hand Storm".

In the play, she is Chu Yun's childhood sweetheart. She is smart, cute and lovely. Her father is a bodyguard of Jiangnan Escort Agency. She has formed an indissoluble bond with Chu Yun in the process of growing up. She secretly falls in love with Chu Yun. Even after learning that Chu Yun loves Hai Qingqing, she still treats them as friends.

Hai Qingqing, a character in "White Hand Storm".

In the play, she is Chu Yun's wife, gentle and beautiful. She has been sharing the joys and sorrows with Chu Yun during his growth. When Chu Yun was blinded by hatred and took revenge at all costs, she was heartbroken many times and finally left in despair.

"Shangguan Yan from "White Hand Storm"? Hai Qingqing?"

"I didn't expect it to be them."

"The person next to them is Chu Yun?"

Chu Yun in the play is the son of Chu Tao and the adopted son of Xiao Yuanfeng. He is skilled in martial arts and familiar with business. He and Hai Qingqing fall in love and promise to spend their lives together. When he was young, he witnessed the tragic death of both his parents. When he grew up, he could not tell the truth and was used by bad people. He mistakenly identified his uncle Xiao Yuanfeng as the enemy who killed his father. Driven by the motive of revenge, he embarked on a road of no return. His benefactors suffered heavy losses because of him, his good friends lost their families because of him, his children died before they were born because of him, the people who loved him died because of him, and the people he loved left him.

"But why is Chu Yun with Shangguan Yan and Hai Qingqing?"

In the play, Xiao Yuanfeng, a wealthy businessman in his prime, is accompanied by his beautiful and capable wife Shen Qin. The "De Xin" brand he opened is distributed in various industries in Jiangnan. He is very wealthy and well-known in the business world. His influence spans both the black and white worlds. He is in a time of great success and complacency.

At this time, Duan Tianyi, a wealthy businessman in Beijing, colluded with the government and had great power. He wanted to take all the wealth in the world. He planned to use Xiao Yuanfeng's power in the south to form a strong alliance, but was rejected because of their different interests and opinions, which planted the seeds of hatred. Duan Tianyi colluded with Xiao Yuanfeng's sworn brother Chu Tao and wanted to bring Xiao Yuanfeng down. However, the conspiracy was exposed, Chu Tao and his wife died tragically, and his son Chu Yun became an orphan overnight, and his life changed from then on.

Duan Tianyi was unwilling to give up and tried every possible means to sabotage Xiao Yuanfeng's business. Xiao Yuanfeng responded by fighting back and resolved the crises one by one, and finally forced Duan Tianyi back to Shuntian Prefecture.

While their parents were fighting against each other, Chu Yun met Shangguan Yan and Hai Qingqing - one was smart, cute and lovely; the other was gentle, beautiful and extraordinary. The three children supported each other outside the adult world and formed an extremely deep relationship.

Twelve years later, under Xiao Yuanfeng's careful teaching, Chu Yun has grown up. He is not only skilled in martial arts, but also familiar with business. He is the biggest contributor to Dexin's business expansion and is deeply appreciated by Xiao Yuanfeng. He and Hai Qingqing fall in love with each other and promise to spend their lives together. However, under the peaceful life, Chu Yun's desire for revenge is surging.

Similarly, in the past twelve years, Duan Tianyi has not really given up the Jiangnan market. He has been scheming and waiting for an opportunity to counterattack. He knows that Xiao Yuanfeng has transferred all his guilt towards Chu Tao to Chu Yun, and he has tried his best to make Chu Yun believe that Xiao Yuanfeng is his real enemy. Chu Yun is blinded by the desire for revenge and turns against his adoptive father, who has been so kind to him. A new round of competition has begun.

As the saying goes, business is like a battlefield. Once Chu Yun stepped into it, he was on a road of no return. Misunderstandings, betrayals, deceptions, calculations, murders...

"Chu Yun in the play can be said to be a disaster star."

"In the play, his benefactors suffered heavy losses because of him, his good friends lost their families because of him, his children died before they were born because of him, the people who loved him died because of him, and the people he loved left him..."

"You could say this is a business war drama."

Relevant information from the play flashed through Jiang Chen’s mind.

"Young Master, what's wrong?" Zhou Ying noticed Jiang Chen's abnormality.

"Is that person Chu Yun from Dexin?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Yes." Zhou Ying nodded.

"Have you ever fought with Chu Yun?" Jiang Chen asked.

"We have had several rounds of cooperation and competition with Dexin, but we have never had a direct confrontation with Chu Yun. After all, in Jiangnan, Dexin's development has not been too aggressive..." Zhou Ying replied.

"Then have you heard of Duan Tianyi?" Jiang Chen asked.

"I've heard that Duan Tianyi is a very famous businessman in the north." Zhou Ying replied.

"According to the intelligence from the Imperial Guards, Duan Tianyi is very ambitious and had a business war with Dexin many years ago..." Jiang Chen briefly recounted the story of Duan Tianyi and Xiao Yuanfeng.

"Sir, do you think Duan Tianyi will make a comeback?" Zhou Ying asked.

"Yes, and this is an opportunity for us." Jiang Chen doesn't care about the grudge between Xiao Yuanfeng and Duan Tianyi, nor does he care who is right or wrong. In Jiang Chen's view, if one day Duan Tianyi and Xiao Yuanfeng break out in a business war like in the play, then this will be an opportunity for the Jiang family.

"Young Master, if Duan Tianyi really wants to do this, I'm afraid our Star Caravan will not be able to escape danger." Zhou Ying said.

"Zhou Ying, what you said may be true, but it depends on how we respond." Jiang Chen said.

"That's right." Zhou Ying nodded.

With the Jiang family as a backing, there will be no problems with the Xingchen Caravan and Huanyu Bank. What's more, Jiang Chen is still the ruler of the Qing Continent.

"Let's go, let's continue shopping." Jiang Chen said.

"Yes." Zhou Ying responded.

"By the way, don't forget to return to the first world." Jiang Chen said.

"Sir, don't worry. I also want to see other worlds." If he had not seen the scenery of other worlds, he might not care. But after seeing the scenery of other worlds, Zhou Ying didn't want to stay in the second world anymore.

An hour later, Jiang Chen and Zhou Ying returned to the Jiang Mansion.

"My husband is back?" Shen Cuixi came forward when she saw Jiang Chen.

"Well, are you back from Suzhou Prefecture?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Just got back." Shen Cuixi said, "This time I bought a lot of silk from Suzhou Weaving House. Mainly from the First World."

"Well, with this batch of silk, it can be of great value even in the spirit world." Even if the Jiang family army that traveled through various worlds is included, there are only more than 10,000 people, so the Jiang family can't use much silk. Most of the silk taken to the first world, Jiang Chen plans to sell in the first world and the spirit world. After all, reselling in the two worlds can make a lot of profit.

Now the Jiang family lives in No. 1 East Suburb of the First World, and their life in the Daming Palace is much more luxurious than those emperors. There has never been a shortage of luxury goods in the First World. However, because they have seen all kinds of luxury goods, they are now simple and unpretentious when dealing with the outside world.

This is also the reason why Jiang Chen only drives Bentley Mulsanne in the first world.

"By the way, when will Miao Cuihua, Li Xiaohuan and the others return to Jiangning Prefecture?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Tomorrow, my husband, don't worry, they will return in time." Shen Cuixi said.

"That's good." Jiang Chen nodded.

Even if they do not return to the first world, the time will not change when they come back after leaving the second world, but for those who stay in the second world, they will have less than a year of training time, and for warriors, this time is the most precious.

……

Qing mainland, Shuntian Prefecture, Eastern Palace.

"Your Highness, these are from the Grand Council." Ruolan pointed at the memorials and said.

"Okay, I will handle it. By the way, is there anything big happening during this period?" Jiang Chen asked.

"No, nothing happened in the past few days." Ruolan said.

"Well, the day after tomorrow is the day we return to the first world. Ruolan, how are your preparations going?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Everything that needs to be prepared has been prepared, but Your Highness, are you really going to take those beauties with you directly?" Ruolan asked.

"Well, after all, we don't have time to train them in the Qing mainland. What's more, they will have no choice after entering the palace." Jiang Chen actually didn't want to do this, but the concubines were not selected all at once, but sent in batches.

However, it is for this reason that I can sign in several heroines every time I come to Shuntian Prefecture in the Qing mainland.

"That's right." Ruolan nodded.

As soon as you enter the palace, the gate is as deep as the sea.

Wasn't she like this at the beginning?

If it weren't for the fact that Yinzhen was Jiang Chen, and Jiang Chen was not limited to the Qing mainland, now she could only rely on her own abilities to fight with others in the palace. And now in the Jiang family, although there are many competitors, they are just competitors.

In the Jiang family, everyone’s job besides practicing is to manage the business.

If you want greater power, you need more ability.

To some extent, this has eliminated most of the palace fighting.

"Your Highness, a new batch of beauties were delivered yesterday. You can go and see them later." Ruolan said.

"Okay." Jiang Chen did not refuse.

Who doesn’t like looking at beautiful women?

Every maiden who entered the palace was a beauty.

The ones who are at the class beauty level are ordinary, while those who can stand out from the beauties are at least at the school beauty level.

This is probably the reason why the genes of royal families in every dynasty are the best.

“By the way, Your Highness, you should also bring back the Eagle Armor Guards in Shache,” Ruolan said.

"Don't worry, flying from Shuntian Prefecture to Shache is very fast by flying on a sword," said Jiang Chen.

"That's right. Now your cultivation is getting higher and higher, and your sword flying speed is getting faster and faster. I don't know when you can achieve this." Ruolan said.

"Then work hard tonight?" Jiang Chen said.

"Your Highness." Ruolan naturally understood what Jiang Chen meant by working hard, so after hearing Jiang Chen's words, she wanted to make it come true immediately.

"Hahaha."

Jiang Chen laughed.

A quarter of an hour later, Jiang Chen began to meet with the concubines.

Soon, the first concubine came in front of Jiang Chen.

"Greetings, Your Highness." Niuhulu Ruyue bowed.

"Get up."

Jiang Chen's gaze fell on Niu Hulu Ruyue.

Almost at the same time, the system prompt sounded.

"Sign in."

Jiang Chen thought silently in his heart.

[Congratulations to the host, you have signed in successfully and obtained ten griffins. ]

[Congratulations to the host, you have signed in 10 female protagonists in a row, and are rewarded with attribute points, cubic meters of space ring expansion, stacks of intermediate-level talisman paper, and pieces of intermediate-grade spirit stones.]

"Ten griffins?"

"This is the ninth time I've signed in and received ten griffins."

According to the system introduction, this griffin is the griffin in "Fights Break Sphere", a fourth-level magical beast.

Griffins have sunny plumage and fur. Their lion-like hindquarters are covered in yellow-brown fur, and their eagle-like head and forelimbs are covered in golden eagle feathers, but they may also be creamy white with crimson spots. Their head and wing feathers may be blue or green, their chest feathers are vermilion, and their eagle-like beaks and feet may range from transparent yellow to brilliant gold, with black claws.

Because of its large weight, the Griffin cannot turn and circle as lightly as a bird, but it can still perform quite a lot of aerial tricks without a rider. It can fly in any weather and has an instinct to sense weather changes. One of the reasons why the Griffin is difficult to tame is that it has a strong confidence in its ability in the air and will not accept unreasonable orders from its rider.

At the same time, the griffin has superb hunting skills. With its speed, agility, and natural claws, the sight of a griffin swooping down from the air to prey is quite astonishing.

"The fourth-level magical beast, the Griffin, possesses the strength of a fighting spirit."

"This means that the Griffin has the strength of a Martial Emperor."

"This is an incredible treasure."

Although Jiang Chen already has a puppet at the Martial God level, the more Martial Emperor level griffins the better.

"The sign-in reward this time is good."

"There are now a total of ninety griffins, but if you want to control a griffin, it is impossible without the strength of a Martial Emperor."

"From Wei Yingluo, Chen Wanyin, Bai Ruiji, Chu Yue, Shen Miao, Lu Ying, Le Qianqian, Shangguan Yan, Hai Qingqing, to now Niu Hulu Ruyue, I have signed ten more female protagonists without realizing it."

"Attribute points 10, space ring space expansion of cubic meters is a basic special reward."

"Ten stacks of intermediate-level talisman paper?"

"This is talisman paper that can be used to draw intermediate-level talismans."

"This is the sixth time I signed in and got it."

"Golden Armor Talisman, Immobilization Talisman...these are all intermediate-level talismans."

"The primary level talisman corresponds to the first-class warrior, the primary level talisman corresponds to the innate warrior, the primary level talisman corresponds to the master warrior. The intermediate level talisman corresponds to the grand master."

"The intermediate-level talisman corresponds to the Martial King realm."

"Ten middle-grade spirit stones?"

"This is the thirteenth time I signed in."

"Okay, although there are quite a few mid-grade spirit stones now, it is not difficult to get mid-grade spirit stones by trading in the Tiannan Continent of the Fourth World, but the more the better."

“It would be nice to check in a few more times.”

At this moment, Jiang Chen looked at the signing hostess.

Niu Hulu Ruyue, a character in "Beauty at War" and "Beauty at War 2".

In "Beauty at War", she is the concubine of Emperor Jiaqing, mature, cold, intelligent, and far-sighted. She appears to be ruthless, but in fact she is emotionally fragile and loyal to the emperor. Ruyue was once the most favored concubine in the harem, and her popularity was almost equal to that of the empress. After Yuying, Erchun and other beautiful girls entered the palace, she was framed and her status was far lower than before. After experiencing the warmth and coldness of human nature, she was finally vindicated with her indomitable character and regained her title of concubine.

In "Beauty's Rival in Palace", Ruyue is the most favored concubine in the harem. However, there has been a rumor in the palace that a maid offended Ruyue and was forced by her to have sex with an old eunuch as punishment. The rumor was spread by her younger sister Wanxiu.

"Niu Hulu Ruyue in "Beauty at War"?"

"I didn't expect it to be her."

When Ruyue in the play entered the palace, she was just a beautiful and innocent girl who didn't know how to guess people's hearts and didn't participate in the harem struggles. However, people with simple nature are definitely not suitable for survival in the harem. Where there are many women, there are many disputes. Where there are many concubines, there are naturally all kinds of open and secret struggles. Although she suffered a lot at the beginning, she was kind by nature and didn't care about others, but just endured it.

Later, Ruyue found out that she was pregnant. She was very surprised but also very cautious. She just wanted to raise the child well. However, after accepting the Queen's congratulations, the fetus died in her womb for no reason. According to the diagnosis of the imperial physician Sun Qinghua, it was due to Ruyue's physical weakness, but Ruyue was convinced that she was murdered by the Queen. She hated him and believed that Sun Qinghua was the Queen's man and would no longer trust him.

At that moment, Ruyue's previous innocence and kindness was like a dream. After waking up from the dream, she became the Concubine Ru, who was feared by the concubines in the harem. She became cruel and ruthless. She wanted to return the injuries she had suffered to those who hurt her. Those who blocked her way would have only one end - being completely eliminated. In front of the emperor, she was still the gentle, beautiful and virtuous Ruyue. Facing the empress with a snake's heart, she would be sharp-tongued and aggressive, ready to counterattack at any time. In the eyes of other concubines and noble ladies, "Concubine Ru" was a person who was more careful to please than the queen, could not see the crime, and held the power of life and death.

The three-year selection of concubines has begun again. The new concubines entering the palace pose a threat to Concubine Ru's position. Concubine Ru is about to give birth, so there is not much she can do. It just so happens that concubine Yuying violates the rules because she is not familiar with the rules of the forbidden palace. This gives Concubine Ru a chance to show off her power to the concubines. Yuying's beauty also makes Concubine Ru realize that a strong rival has appeared.

Before Concubine Ru could deal with Yuying, the baby in her belly became unstable again. As the saying goes, the past is a lesson for Concubine Ru, who was afraid that the Queen would take advantage of her and poison the fetus again, concealed the illness with the help of the imperial physician Sun Baiyang. Baiyang was ordered to take the premature fetus out of Concubine Ru's belly at the critical moment. In order to save the child, he took the risk of inducing labor to remove the premature fetus from Concubine Ru's belly. In the end, Concubine Ru gave birth to a little princess, but she was relieved that both mother and daughter were safe, and regarded Baiyang as her confidant.

During the period when Concubine Ru was recuperating, the concubines were fighting each other. As Concubine Ru expected, Yuying's beauty really made her stand out among the concubines, and her reputation for beauty gradually spread to the emperor's ears. At this time, Concubine Ru's close maid Baochan stole Concubine Ru's property because of her mother at home. Concubine Ru was furious, but she did not want to kill her. But soon, Baochan was found drowned in the lotus pond in the palace. Concubine Ru was convicted, and the little princess was taken away by the queen, and mother and daughter were separated. Concubine Ru's glory was gone.

Baochan's death caused a rift between the emperor and Concubine Ru, and rumors about her having an affair with a Taoist priest made the emperor ignore her even more. Concubine Ru was not discouraged, and she continued to show her favor to the emperor, but to little avail, so she turned her attention to the little princess whom the emperor loved the most.

Although the Queen bribed the little princess's nurse to secretly manipulate the milk film, the cause was that Concubine Ru deliberately made the little princess cry in order to regain her favor. We can also imagine that there are many ways to make a little baby cry, such as starving him. But as a mother, how could she bear to let her premature and weak child suffer even a little bit of grievance?

In this battle, Concubine Ru was defeated and could no longer see her daughter.

When she saw her daughter again, Concubine Ru was no longer the same Concubine Ru as before. With the help of the imperial guard Kong Wu, she dared not make a sound and sneaked into the prince's residence, and finally held her daughter again. At this moment, we saw the maternal radiance in her eyes for the first time. We also believe that at this time, even if the position of queen was exchanged for the little princess, Concubine Ru would definitely not agree.

If Xiaogege hadn't died, perhaps Concubine Ru would have lived quietly and low-key, with Kong Wu by her side, often seeing her daughter, and not being in the middle of intrigues. Concubine Ru seemed to have returned to the days when she first entered the palace. Perhaps it was karma, Xiaogege was born prematurely and was already weak and sickly. Although the queen did not intervene to harm her, she ignored Xiaogege's illness, and the poor child finally died in Concubine Ru's arms.

Ru Fei held her daughter in her arms and knelt in the snow, praying to the heavens with all her might, willing to sacrifice her life for hers, but the only response she got was the whistling cold wind. She was extremely sad, but her heart was clear. Having lost her child, she could not lose anything else. She placed a hand warmer in the little princess's swaddling clothes and took her to see the emperor, making the emperor mistakenly believe that the little princess had just died. She wanted the emperor to remember forever that a princess had died in his arms. She wanted the emperor to remember that he would always owe her, Niu Hulu Ruyue.

The grief of Concubine Ru being ignored is far less than the pain of being separated from her daughter. Concubine Ru's longing for her daughter is seen by the guard Kong Wu who patrols the palace that night. In order to relieve Concubine Ru's pain, Kong Wu takes the risk of arranging for Concubine Ru to meet with the little princess, and gives her help and care. Concubine Ru, who knows the fickleness of the world, finally tastes a little warmth in the world, and gradually falls in love with Kong Wu.

However, the little princess died, and Concubine Ru was extremely sad. In addition to her grief, she took the opportunity to regain the emperor's favor. The Tianli Sect broke into the palace, and Concubine Ru reluctantly let go of Kong Wu's hand and let him and An Xi be together. She stayed in the palace and continued to fight with the queen.

"Everyone who can stand out in the palace fight has gone through hardships."

"But it's true. If you're not a ruthless person, you probably won't even know how you died."

Jiang Chen looked at Ruyue.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Ruyue stood up.

"Look up." Jiang Chen said.

Hearing this, Ruyue looked up at Jiang Chen.

"Ruyue."

Jiang Chen looked at Ruyue and said, "Are you the daughter of Niuhulu Shanqing? Why did you enter the palace?"
