Happy life in the world of film and television

Chapter 1564 The Story of Anle: Princess Anning
"...However, if it touches on the interests of our Jiang family, then there's no need to be polite." Jiang Chen has always been ruthless towards his enemies, even at the cost of causing widespread suffering.

The women nodded.

"By the way, husband, are you not using the family teleportation talisman this time?" Jiang Lai suddenly thought of something.

"Yes, I've been flying on my sword lately. My goal is to better understand the situation in the air." Jiang Chen nodded.

Before coming to the Nine Rivers Continent, Jiang Chen had already been to many places.

However, flying on a sword is not an easy task.

After all, there are no reference points at high altitudes, and if you fly in the wrong direction, you'll be miles away from the destination.

The women exchanged bewildered glances upon hearing Jiang Chen's words.

"It seems that flying on a sword is really not an easy thing." Zhou Fang then realized that flying on a sword without radar or navigation would be even more challenging for a person.

"Flying on a sword requires a lot of memory and other skills. If you have a terrible sense of direction and fly in the wrong direction, you might really get lost. So, you can try it as often as you have time. However, flying on a sword is also dangerous. Even in the Second World, this danger still exists. Of course, there are natural risks you will encounter in the Second World," Jiang Chen said.

In Jiang Chen's view, the dangers encountered while flying on a sword in the Second World are similar to those encountered by airplanes in the First World, mostly due to weather conditions. For example, thunderstorms, hail, strong crosswinds, and low visibility directly affect flight safety.

"Now that you're a Martial God Realm warrior, if you encounter a storm or something in the Second World, are you able to withstand it?" Chen Qianqian asked.

“I usually avoid natural phenomena like thunderstorms, hail, strong crosswinds, and low visibility. So I don’t know if I can withstand them. However, the natural risks in the Second World should be lower than those in the Fourth World,” Jiang Chen explained.

Natural risks mainly include four categories: geological disasters, meteorological disasters, biological disasters, and compound disasters. These encompass specific manifestations such as earthquakes, floods, typhoons, and insect infestations, and their formation is directly related to irregular changes in natural forces.
"Is the natural risk in the Second World lower than that in the Fourth World because of the spiritual energy?" Tian Tian asked.

"Ah."

Jiang Chen nodded: "Spiritual energy is necessary for martial artists' cultivation. However, it also amplifies the dangers of nature. In the Fourth World, even stronger martial artists cannot withstand those natural risks. More importantly, worlds rich in spiritual energy have unique natural risks."

Jiang Chen thought of the natural risks mentioned in those fantasy novels.

Many fantasy dramas and martial arts dramas are adapted from fantasy novels, which means that these natural risks exist.

"Are you here in the Second World to explore new continents?" Chen Qianqian asked.

"Ah."

Jiang Chen nodded and said, "Now that many places have achieved stable development, it's time to explore new continents."

There are still many people on Baiyu Island. If these people have nothing to do, they might start engaging in palace intrigue or something, which is not what Jiang Chen wants. Therefore, exploring the new continent is inevitable.

Now that Jiang Chen can fly on his sword, he no longer needs a flying talisman, making it relatively easier to explore the new continent.

……

The Great Jing Dynasty, outside Jingnan City, a mountain villa.

“My lord, all the Imperial Guards who need training are here,” Li Yanshu said to Jiang Chen.

"Okay, I'll arrange the training right away." Jiang Chen nodded.

When they came to the Second World last time, Li Yanshu and the others arranged for the Imperial Guards to train, and this time the three thousand Imperial Guards who need training are ready.

Without further hesitation, Jiang Chen immediately used the Embroidered Uniform Guard training card.

Once these three thousand Imperial Guards have completed their training, the Great Jing Dynasty will be under their control.

After arranging the training for the Imperial Guards, Jiang Chen and Li Yanshu strolled around the manor.

This villa was bought by Li Yanshu and his group.

Including the surrounding fields, the estate covers a total of 4,000 mu.

“The land here is fertile; as long as we cultivate it next year, we are sure to have a bumper harvest,” Li Yanshu said.

"What's the grain price like in the Great Jing Dynasty right now?" Jiang Chen asked.

"The price of grain in the Great Jing Dynasty is relatively high." As Li Yanshu spoke, he recounted the situation in Jingnan City and the information he had gathered.

In the Second World, Third World, and even Fourth World, food prices are the standard for measuring prices.

Although the Jiang family currently eats low-grade spirit rice, their development is still inseparable from this grain.

"It seems the situation in the Great Jing Dynasty is not optimistic," Jiang Chen said.

“Ren Anle has now reorganized Anle Village.” Li Yanshu glanced at Jiang Chen and said, “She’s ready to take action.”

"It seems Ren Anle has made up his mind." Jiang Chen smiled.

Ren Anle and Jiang Chen have always been groomed to be empresses.

As long as Ren Anle has the ambition to become empress, with tens of thousands of troops in Anle Village and the support of the Jiang family, it would be no problem for her to take over the southern part of the Dajing Dynasty in a short period of time.

"Yes, I've made up my mind. However, I don't know if the old subordinates of the Di family will support me," Li Yanshu said.

"Does that matter?" Jiang Chen countered.

Li Yanshu was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, but then he realized what she meant.

Whether the old guard of the imperial family supports it or not is not important, because their support now is just icing on the cake.

“I was the one who got stuck on this,” Li Yanshu said.

“However, if Ren Anle wants to start a rebellion, he must first complete the training of the Embroidered Uniform Guard and control a portion of the southern cities of the Great Jing Dynasty. There’s no need to rush now,” Jiang Chen said.

Half an hour later, Jiang Chen and Li Yanshu returned to the Jiang residence in Jingnan City.

In Jingnan City, besides Li Yanshu, there are also Song Xihu, Pei Yin, Xia Qing, and Zhao Chenxi.

When Jiang Chen and Li Yanshu returned, Song Xihu and the others were already there.

"Ladies, hello there." Jiang Chen greeted Song Xihu and the others with a smile.

"My husband is all smiles, has something good happened?" Pei Yin asked.

"Seeing you all is a good thing," Jiang Chen said with a smile.

The women rolled their eyes at Jiang Chen.

After chatting and having a meal, Jiang Chen took Li Yanshu into the room.

"Jiang Chen, you're in too much of a hurry," Li Yanshu said with a smile.

"After all, you're so beautiful," Jiang Chen said with a smile.

"Hmph, do you think I would believe that?" Li Yanshu rolled her eyes at Jiang Chen.

Before meeting Jiang Chen, Li Yanshu was confident in her looks. But now, Jiang Chen is surrounded by countless beautiful women.

“I’m telling the truth. I spotted you right away in Paris, France,” Jiang Chen said.

“So, you’ve been planning this for a long time,” Li Yanshu said.

"nature."

Jiang Chen smiled and said, "I've set my sights on you, so naturally I'm going to win you over." As he spoke, Jiang Chen swept Li Yanshu up in his arms.

……

Anle Village.

"Young Master." Ren Anle bowed to Jiang Chen.
"No need for formalities." Jiang Chen found a seat and then asked Ren Anle about the situation in Anle Village.

“I’ve reorganized Anle Village several times now, and it’s starting to have some fighting strength. However, I still need your help to train an elite force,” Ren Anle said after explaining the situation of Anle Village.

"Do you want an online army or something else?" Jiang Chen understood that Ren Anle wanted to train the Jiang family army, but Ren Anle was originally a member of the Jiang family.

“Five thousand naval troops and three thousand cavalry,” Ren Anle said.

Jiang Chen looked at Ren Anle.

"Is it not allowed?" Ren Anle asked. "Yes, you can get ready, I'll start training right away," Jiang Chen said.

"Okay." Ren Anle smiled. "I'll make the arrangements right away."

Jiang Chen nodded slightly.

An hour later, Ren Anle had made the arrangements.

At this moment, Jiang Chen is using a White Horse Cavalry Training Card and a Chaohu Naval Training Card.

"With these eight thousand elite troops, the rest is up to you," Jiang Chen said to Ren Anle.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. However, we'll still need your help with weapons, especially arrows," Ren Anle said.

"Don't worry, I'll bring it next time I come," Jiang Chen said with a smile.

The Jiang family now controls several countries in the Second World, especially those where Jiang Chen is the emperor, as they control the entire country's military industry. They produce a massive amount of weapons every day.

Not to mention using it for himself now, Jiang Chen even wants to go into the arms trade!
"It's good that you remember, young master," Ren Anle said.

Jiang Chen smiled and started chatting with Ren Anle.

After chatting for a while, Jiang Chen left Anle Village.

However, Jiang Chen did not leave the Great Jing Dynasty, but went to the capital of the Great Jing Dynasty.

This was Jiang Chen's first time visiting the capital of the Great Jing Dynasty, but he arrived in less than an hour after leaving Anle Village.

"The Great Jing Dynasty has only been established for a few decades, but its capital city is not bad."

Jiang Chen walked along, looking around the street.

Just then, the sound of horses' hooves came.

"Ok?"

Jiang Chen turned his head to look.

I saw a female general leading a group of people walking in from outside the city.

"is her."

Almost simultaneously, a system notification sounded.

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully checked in and received one hundred griffins.]

"One hundred griffins?"

"This is the fourteenth time I've checked in and received one hundred griffins."

According to the system introduction, this griffin is the griffin from "Battle Through the Heavens", a fourth-tier magical beast.

Griffins have sun-like plumage and coat colors. Their lion-like hindquarters are covered in yellowish-brown fur, while their eagle-like head and forelimbs are entirely covered in golden eagle feathers, though they may also be creamy white feathers with deep red spots. The feathers on their head and wings may be blue or green, the feathers on their chest are vermilion, and their eagle-like beak and feet may range from transparent yellow to brilliant gold, with black claws.

Because of their larger size, griffins cannot turn and circle as nimbly as birds, but they can still perform a considerable number of aerial maneuvers without a rider. They can fly in any weather and have an instinct for sensing weather changes. One reason griffins are difficult to tame is their strong confidence in their aerial abilities; they will not accept unreasonable commands from their riders.

At the same time, griffins possess superb hunting skills. With their speed, agility, and naturally sharp claws, griffins are truly astonishing when they swoop down from the sky to hunt.

"The fourth-tier magical beast, the Griffin, possesses the strength of a Battle Spirit."

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

"This is an extraordinary treasure."

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

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

"There are now a total of 1,600 griffins, but it is impossible to control them without the strength of a Martial Emperor."

"However, building an army of griffins is not easy; not everyone has the strength to do so."

At that moment, Jiang Chen looked at the female lead who had signed in.

Princess Anning, a character in the TV series "The Legend of Anle".

In the drama, she plays Princess Anning of the Great Jing Dynasty. Anning is forthright and unpretentious. She began fighting on the battlefield in her teens, achieving numerous feats and becoming Emperor Jiachang's most prized daughter. From a young age, she and Emperor Ziyuan were like sisters. As a young girl, Anning was actually shy, admiring the dashing Emperor Ziyuan and aspiring to be like her. After the Di family suffered a tragedy, out of unease over the unjust deaths of 80,000 soldiers and a sense of responsibility to her country, Anning chose to be stationed in the Northwest as a general defending the nation.

"Princess Anning from 'The Story of Anle'?"

"I didn't expect to see him here."

In the drama, An Ning is Han Ye's younger sister and a likable girl. Despite being a princess, she has no airs of arrogance. As a princess, she not only lives as she pleases but is also a valiant and heroic female general, defending the borders against enemies. An Ning is a very cool and sassy character. An Ning and Di Ziyuan were best friends when they were young, and An Ning greatly admired Di Ziyuan. However, after the Di family was massacred, although Han Ye protected Di Ziyuan, they were separated by great distances, and An Ning lost contact with Di Ziyuan.

As a princess of the Great Jing Kingdom, Princess Anning was also a female general on the northwestern border, bearing the mission and responsibility of protecting her country and its people. When the Northern Qin army launched a massive invasion of the northwest, she did not choose to flee or surrender, but instead chose to defend Qingnan City and fight the enemy to the bitter end. She knew her chances of victory were slim, but she still chose to exchange her life for the safety and time of the Great Jing Kingdom. She was a heroine who was fearless in the face of sacrifice, fulfilled her mission, and upheld the dignity of her nation.

As someone who knew about the Di family tragedy and a close friend of Ren Anle, she possessed the conscience and morality to reveal the truth and clear the Di family's name. Ten years ago, the Di family was exterminated for treason, and their 80,000-strong army was shot dead. But all of this was a conspiracy by the Empress Dowager and the Emperor; the Di family was innocent. Princess Anning overheard the Empress Dowager and a eunuch's secret conversation and learned the truth.

But she lacked the courage to speak the truth, for doing so would threaten the Han family's rule and hurt her grandmother who had raised her. She carried a heavy burden of guilt and remorse, even volunteering to guard the Northwest as a way of atonement. When Ren Anle arrived in the capital to exonerate the imperial family, Princess Anning finally mustered the courage to stand up and accuse the Empress Dowager and the Emperor of their crimes, thus clearing the imperial family's name.

But this also led to the Empress Dowager's suicide and the Emperor's injury. Princess Anning felt even more guilty and remorseful.

She is the only princess of the Great Jing Kingdom and a female general guarding the northwestern border. She is bold and skilled in martial arts, and she and Ren Anle became fast friends. She also once harbored feelings for Leng Bei, a spy from the Northern Qin Kingdom, but ultimately discovered his true identity and conspiracy.

She fought to the last moment against the Northern Qin army in Qingnan City, only to be struck by a hail of arrows and die. Before she died, she left a letter for Ren Anle, telling her that she knew the truth about the Di family massacre and that she felt guilty for not being able to stand up and clarify things. She also told Ren Anle that she had always considered her a sister and wished her happiness.

"Princess Anning? Her full name is Han Anning."

"Han Anning (from now on Princess Anning will be called Han Anning) and Ren Anle are about the same age now."

Jiang Chen sized up Han Anning.

She truly deserves to be called the eldest princess who guards the northwest.

Having spent many years on the frontier, her aura was far stronger than Ren Anle's when they first met.

"Heroic and valiant, Han Anning is a quintessential female general. And according to the plot, she's even developing into a female commander..."

"However, when Ren Anle starts his rebellion, Han Anning and Ren Anle will inevitably become adversaries."

"I wonder if Han Anning's fate will change in this world where film and television are integrated."

"If we let Ren Anle go, I wonder if we can make Han Anning a member of the Jiang family."

A series of thoughts flashed through Jiang Chen's mind.

The Han family and the Di family are political enemies, and under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for them to shake hands and make peace. However, Han Anning is a woman, so it is different.

In the drama, Ren Anle still marries Han Ye.

Although Ren Anle was able to live thanks to Han Ye, she was forced to marry the son of her enemy and call him "father" and "grandmother."

Is this what they mean by "sleep can resolve a thousand grudges"?
Being favored by the son of one's enemy—if you put it bluntly, wouldn't that be... too indescribable?
This is almost the same as abducting a woman.

I wonder if the ancestors of the Di family in the drama would be furious if they knew?
Of course, for Jiang Chen, who is a man, conquering the daughter of his enemy would be an achievement.

However, Jiang Chen would try his best not to kill the family members of the woman he loved. Even Pang Tong of the Liang Dynasty in the Great Liang Continent used others to kill them.

"By the way, in the cold north of Northern Qin, which Han Anning likes."

"According to the timeline in the drama, Leng Bei is currently by Han Anning's side."

Jiang Chen remembered that Leng Bei was Mo Bei, a 34-year-old prince of Northern Qin who had infiltrated the Great Jing Dynasty under the alias "Leng Bei" to serve as Princess Anning's bodyguard. His true identity was to shoulder the heavy responsibility of strengthening Northern Qin. Mo Bei was handsome and taciturn, secretly plotting the massacre of the imperial family and remaining infiltrated into the Great Jing for ten years. He gained the princess's trust by arranging her rescue, using the opportunity to gather intelligence on the Great Jing, colluding with the Left Prime Minister to frame the Marquis of Zhongyi, and stealing the border defense map, thus triggering a war between the two countries. To achieve his dual goals of seizing control of the Great Jing and vying for the throne of Northern Qin, Mo Bei ultimately caused Princess Anning's death in the Northwest.

Jiang Chen was somewhat inclined to tell Han Anning about Mo Bei's (Leng Bei's) identity, but upon closer reflection, he realized that Mo Bei was an undercover agent, and his presence could cause chaos in the northwest of the Da Jing Dynasty.

"Maybe we can add fuel to the fire."

"Wouldn't I be able to..."

Jiang Chen looked toward the direction of the palace.
