Happy life in the world of film and television

Chapter 1566 The Great Song Youth Chronicles 2: The Hidden Black Cloud
"What is it?" Jiang Chen looked down at Xiao Qing, but his hands did not stop moving.

"I want to go and see the Great Xiao Kingdom." Xiao Qing sensed Jiang Chen's movement, but didn't say anything.

If Xiao Qing hadn't known that Jiang Chen was leaving tomorrow, she would have preferred to wait until tomorrow to discuss it.

"The Great Xiao Kingdom? What's there to see in the Great Xiao Kingdom?" Jiang Chen remembered that the Great Xiao Kingdom was located in the western part of the Zhufeng Dynasty. Although the Jiang family had been developing in the Zhufeng Dynasty for a long time, they didn't have many businesses in the Great Xiao Kingdom.

“I’ve heard that the real estate market in the Great Xiao Kingdom is developing quite well, something that other countries in the Second World don’t have. So I’d like to go and take a look,” Xiao Qing said.

“The Great Xiao Kingdom has a very developed commercial sector, which may be the best place for our Jiang family to develop,” Jiang Chen said.

“I think so too.” Xiao Qing nodded.

"However, is there something else you haven't told me?" Jiang Chen felt that if Xiao Qing simply wanted to go to the Great Xiao Kingdom, she wouldn't need to tell him. The fact that she's saying this now means there must be something else going on.

"I plan to visit the Great Xiao Kingdom before heading to the Tanxiao Mountains," Xiao Qing said.

"Tanxiao Mountains?"

Jiang Chen was slightly taken aback, clearly not expecting Xiao Qing to want to go to the Tanxiao Mountains.

“Yes.” Xiao Qing nodded.

"I know quite a bit about the Tanxiao Mountains..." Jiang Chen recounted his previous trip to the Tanxiao Mountains.

"I didn't expect the Tanxiao Mountains to be so vast?" A hint of surprise flashed in Xiao Qing's eyes. She hadn't realized that Jiang Chen had already explored the Tanxiao Mountains using sword flight. However, this was also good news, as it would save her a lot of trouble.

“Yes, the situation in the Tanxiao Mountains has surprised me greatly. The northwest of the Central Continent is like the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Even if there are countries there, they are only like the Tubo Kingdom in history. Therefore, if you want to enter the Tanxiao Mountains, you must consider all aspects,” Jiang Chen said.

Although the martial arts forces in the Second World are not of a high level, it does not mean that the Second World is without danger.

Especially in the Tanxiao Mountains, a plateau that has existed for countless years, there are countless hidden dangers.

"Well, I'll think it over carefully before going to the Tanxiao Mountains." Xiao Qing had thought there was a country on the other side of the Tanxiao Mountains, but she hadn't expected it to be like this. However, Jiang Chen was right. The Tanxiao Mountains are a primeval forest with countless ages of history. Even if there were people there, they would probably be no different from savages.

"Is there anything else?" Jiang Chen asked.

"No, what happened?" Xiao Qing asked.

"What do you think?" Jiang Chen countered.

Xiao Qing then realized what was happening and immediately wrapped her arms around Jiang Chen's neck: "Honey, I love you..."

Jiang Chen could no longer hold back and pounced on him immediately.

Soon, indescribable sounds rang out.

……

Zhao Rong'an's room.

"Husband."

Upon seeing Jiang Chen enter, Zhao Rong'an quickly stood up and went to greet him.

"Have you been waiting long?" Jiang Chen smiled and put his arm around Zhao Rong'an's waist.

"No, I was just studying the formation," Zhao Rong'an said.

"Oh, how's the research going?" Jiang Chen asked.

"There's still a lot I don't understand." Zhao Rong'an explained the problems he encountered while researching the basics of formations.

Jiang Chen answered them one by one.

Jiang Chen's understanding of the fundamentals of formations is far superior to Zhao Rong'an's.

"Husband, am I particularly stupid?" Zhao Rong'an asked.

"No, why do you say that?" Jiang Chen looked at Zhao Rong'an in confusion.

“I…” Zhao Rong’an expressed his concerns.

“Why do you think like that? You’re not stupid. Different people have different understandings of formations and talismans. You can ask me if you don’t understand something in the future. You can also communicate with other people.” Jiang Chen understood Zhao Rong’an’s concerns.

Zhao Rong'an's problem is something many people in the Jiang family have.

However, Jiang Chen was not worried about this.

The issue of cultivation was not kept secret within the Jiang family. When Jiang Chen had time, he even shared his insights with everyone.

"Mm." Zhao Rong'an nodded.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore, it's getting late." Jiang Chen smiled and unbuckled Zhao Rong'an's belt.

“My husband, I will serve you…” Zhao Rong’an said.

……

The next day, after getting up from Miao Ying's bed, Jiang Chen left the capital of the Zhufeng Dynasty and flew to Zhongxing Prefecture.

Zhongxingfu was the capital of Western Xia.

However, it is different from the Western Xia in previous history.

In this world, the Western Xia Dynasty was newly established, and Zhongxing Prefecture did not yet possess the grandeur of a capital city.

Jiang Chen encountered the Song Kingdom's wedding procession as soon as he arrived in Zhongxing Prefecture.

"What a coincidence..."

Jiang Chen also felt that he was incredibly lucky.

They encountered the Song Kingdom's wedding procession so quickly.

"It's time to go and take a look."

Jiang Chen's eyes flickered.

Liu Xiyin, like Xu Qin, Ruan Liuzheng, Sang Wen, Su Yuehua, and Zhang Bihua, was played by the same actress in her previous life.

Sang Wen, Su Yuehua, and Zhang Bihua were all by Jiang Chen's side.

"Ok?"

Just then, Jiang Chen saw a figure.

"is her?"

Jiang Chen's gaze sharpened.

Almost simultaneously, a system notification sounded.

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully checked in and received one hundred mid-grade spirit stones.]

"One hundred mid-grade spirit stones?"

"This is the twelfth time I've signed in and received one hundred mid-grade spirit stones."

"After refining a low-grade spirit stone, strength increases by 10 points, constitution increases by 15 points, and agility increases by 5 points. After refining a mid-grade spirit stone, strength increases by 130 points, constitution increases by 180 points, and agility increases by 60 points."

"This is a good reward."

At that moment, Jiang Chen looked at the female lead.

Liang Maixiang is a character in "Young Blood 2".

In the drama, as a member of the Eight Scholars, she serves as the Junior Commander of the Military Supervisory Office of Youzhou, and demonstrates a courageous and resolute character in the mission to fight against Yuan Hao.

"Liang Maixiang in 'The Great Song Youth Chronicles 2'".

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

In the drama, Liang Maixiang and Xue Ying collaborate: Xue Ying helps Liang Maixiang reclaim the Youzhou army, consolidating her position in the Military Supervisory Division. The two develop a deep relationship of trust while fighting together, but ultimately have to part ways due to their respective missions.

Later, Liang Maixiang joined forces with Wei Yanei to assassinate Yuan Hao, during which their feelings for each other became complex and intertwined. At the climax of the mission, her subordinates brought Pei Jing and Wang Kuan to the altar, revealing Lu Nanshan's conspiracy. Liang Maixiang, however, longed for a peaceful life and hoped that after Yuan Hao's death, she could live the life she desired.

"I didn't expect Liang Maixiang could also sign in."

"What an unexpected surprise."

"However, Liang Maixiang's appearance in Zhongxing Prefecture, does it mean that Emperor Chengzhao still intends to take action against Western Xia?"

Jiang Chen thought about it and wondered if Emperor Cheng Zhao wanted to take action against Western Xia.

wrong!

Now, the Song Dynasty's northern expedition against the Liao Dynasty is still undecided. Emperor Chengzhao is old, and with the Shengjiao Rebellion in turmoil and the northern expedition unsuccessful, he can probably only stabilize the northwest. Perhaps Liang Maixiang was sent by someone else.

After all, the State of Song was dominated by civil officials.

"I wonder if Liu Xiyin knows Liang Maixiang's identity."

"However, given Liu Xiyin's status, it would be impossible for her to know Liang Maixiang's identity."

Jiang Chen recalled the details of "Oh My General" in his mind.

After watching the Song Kingdom's wedding procession leave, Jiang Chen headed towards the palace.

After all, it's perfectly normal to explore the Western Xia imperial palace when you come to Western Xia.

Even during the day, the Western Xia Imperial Palace was like Jiang Chen's own backyard. More importantly, Western Xia had only been established for a little over a year, and the so-called Western Xia Imperial Palace was not yet fully completed.

This made it easier for Jiang Chen to enter the Western Xia imperial palace. Shortly after entering the palace, Jiang Chen met Emperor Li Yuanhao of Western Xia.

Li Yuanhao is a character in "Dunhuang".

In the drama, Li Yuanhao has long coveted Dunhuang. Using the pretext of seeking revenge for Khotan, he requests passage from Cao Shunde, the leader of the Guiyi Army guarding Dunhuang, putting Cao Shunde in a difficult position. Li Yuanhao had once pursued Cao Shunde's wife, Zhenniang, but Zhenniang ended up marrying Cao Shunde, making Li and Cao rivals in love.

"The Great Dunhuang?"

"I didn't expect it to be this drama, it's really a surprise."

Jiang Chen thought that there would be no sign-in upon arriving in Xixia, but he didn't expect to encounter people from two different dramas in just one day.

"Li Yuanhao is a character in 'Dunhuang'..."

"This also means that there are quite a few female characters to sign up for in Western Xia."

With this in mind, Jiang Chen continued his exploration of the Western Xia Imperial Palace.

Soon, Jiang Chen found Li Yuanhao's empress, Yeli Dulan.

Almost simultaneously, a system notification sounded.

"Sign in."

Jiang Chen silently recited in his heart.

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully checked in and obtained a second-tier, low-grade spiritual vein.]

"A second-tier low-grade spiritual vein?"

"This is the sixteenth time I've checked in."

"A first-grade low-level spiritual vein is the lowest level of spiritual vein. A second-grade low-level spiritual vein is the second lowest level of spiritual vein."

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

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

Yeli Dulan is a character in the novel "Helan Snow".

In the drama, she was born into the Yeli tribe of the Tangut people. She was initially the queen of Li Yuanhao. After Li Yuanhao established his country and became emperor, she was made empress and was favored for a time. Later, she was banished to the cold palace and eventually executed.

"Helan Snow?"

"I didn't expect it to be this drama."

“Yeli Dulan…”

In the drama, Yeli Dulan comes from the Yeli tribe of the Dangxiang people. She was initially just a concubine of Li Yuanhao, but became his first empress after he ascended the throne. Her "achievement" was primarily due to the meritorious service of her family. Her two elder brothers, Yeli Yuqi and Yeli Wangrong, were both generals of the Western Xia, considered pillars of the dynasty. Yeli Yuqi, in particular, was shrewd and skilled in warfare; his "Shanjie" soldiers were renowned for their fighting prowess, striking fear into the hearts of Song soldiers. He and his brother Yeli Wangrong commanded the left and right wings of the army, respectively, and were known as "Great Kings," eventually reaching the rank of Ningling. He frequently participated in military strategy during the wars against the Song. Another relative, Yeli Renrong, was known for his extensive knowledge and familiarity with classical texts; Yuanhao called him a "right-hand man."

Secondly, Yeli Dulan was beautiful and intelligent, and bore Yuanhao three sons, making her the wife with the most children among Yuanhao's concubines. Thirdly, Yeli Dulan was also intelligent and cunning, and she slandered and killed Li Yuanhao's principal wife, Wei Mushi.

Leveraging these advantages, Yeli Dulan became the most favored concubine in the harem. Li Yuanhao had a deep affection for her, both loving and fearing her. Therefore, when Li Yuanhao officially became emperor, Yeli Dulan unsurprisingly became empress, and her eldest son, Li Ningming, was made crown prince.

Behind her seemingly boundless glory, disaster was slowly creeping towards Nori, gradually eroding her advantages and ultimately leading to her tragic end.

"It can be said that Yeli Dulan lost power because Li Yuanhao consciously weakened the power of the Yeli family and other Dangxiang nobles in order to consolidate his imperial power."

"However, now that Western Xia has suffered a major defeat, Li Yuanhao will inevitably rely on the Western Xia nobles."

"But if we want to weaken Western Xia, we still need to let Li Yuanhao deal with these Western Xia nobles."

Information about Yelidulan flashed through Jiang Chen's mind.

However, Jiang Chen was not familiar with Yeli Dulan, so he only glanced at him and left.

The Western Xia imperial palace was not large, and soon, Jiang Chen encountered another of Li Yuanhao's concubines.

Almost simultaneously, a system notification sounded.

"Sign in."

Jiang Chen silently recited in his heart.

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully checked in and received one Orange Spirit Fruit.]

[Congratulations, host! You have checked in with 1,710 female protagonists consecutively. Rewards include 10 attribute points, a 100-cubic-meter expansion of your space ring, a high-grade low-level spirit field modification blueprint, and a high-grade spirit fish pond modification blueprint.]

"A Luo of Oranges?"

"This is the eighth time I've checked in and received the Orange Fruit."

The Orange Spirit Fruit is a spiritual fruit used to cultivate spiritual power, and it is of a higher grade than the Crimson Spirit Fruit. Although the Orange Spirit Fruit and the Crimson Spirit Fruit differ by only one character, they are worlds apart. It can be said that this is the fourth thing to increase spiritual power, besides the Elementary Spirit Nourishing Pill, the Intermediate Spirit Nourishing Pill, and the Crimson Spirit Fruit.

"After refining the Crimson Thought Fruit, the Spirit attribute can be increased by 24 points, while after refining the first Orange Thought Fruit, the Spirit attribute will be increased by 240 points, and after refining the second Orange Thought Fruit, the Spirit attribute will be increased by 120 points."

"This is an extraordinary treasure!"

"Although only martial artists at the Spirit Abyss Realm can refine the Orange Thought Fruit, it is an extraordinary thing."

"Starting with Chang Jixiang, Wan Ruyi, Lin Pinpin, Ji Fulei, Shangguan Jing, Princess Anning (Han Anning), Lin Lang, Liang Maixiang, Yeli Dulan, and now Meicang Heiyun, I've signed up for ten more leading ladies without even realizing it."

"10 attribute points and an expansion of 100 cubic meters in the space ring are the most basic special rewards."

"A high-grade low-level spirit field transformation plan?"

"This is the sixteenth time I've checked in."

The Low-Grade Spirit Field Transformation Plan transforms existing land into Low-Grade Spirit Fields, with a total of ten acres of Low-Grade Spirit Fields that can be transformed.

The intermediate-grade low-grade spirit field transformation map is an upgraded version of the low-grade low-grade spirit field transformation map, and can transform one hundred acres of low-grade spirit fields.

The advanced low-grade spirit field transformation map is an upgraded version of the intermediate low-grade spirit field transformation map, and can transform 1,000 acres of low-grade spirit fields.

"This sign-in reward is pretty good."

"High-grade spirit fish pond renovation plan?"

This is the sixteenth time I've checked in.

According to the system introduction, the advanced spirit fish pond renovation blueprint transforms an existing fish pond into a spirit fish pond. The basic spirit fish pond renovation blueprint can renovate ten acres of spirit fish pond. The intermediate spirit fish pond renovation blueprint is an upgraded version of the basic spirit fish pond renovation blueprint, which can renovate one hundred acres of spirit fish pond.

The advanced spirit fish pond renovation plan is an upgraded version of the intermediate spirit fish pond renovation plan, and can renovate 1,000 acres of spirit fish ponds.

"Therefore, the difference between the advanced spirit fish pond renovation plan and the low-level and intermediate spirit fish pond renovation plans is the number of acres to be renovated."

"The advanced spirit fish pond renovation plan is ten times that of the intermediate spirit fish pond renovation plan, and one hundred times that of the low-level spirit fish pond renovation plan."

"This sign-in reward is really good."

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

Mei Cang Hei Yun is a character in "Young Blood 2".

In the drama, she is the mistress of Emperor Jingzong of Western Xia, Li Yuanhao, the mother of Emperor Yizong of Western Xia, Li Liangzuo, and the sister of the powerful minister Mozang Epang. She was once the wife of the Western Xia general Yeli Yuqi. After Yeli Yuqi was killed, she entered the palace and gained Yuanhao's favor. Empress Yeli expelled her from the palace to become a nun, but she continued to secretly meet with Yuanhao and gave birth to Liangzuo. After Yuanhao's assassination, she was honored as Empress Dowager and assisted her son. Later, she and her lover Baobaochiduo were assassinated.

"Logically speaking, there is no need for Mei Zang Hei Yun in 'The Great Song Youth Chronicles 2' to sign in."

"However, in 'Helan Snow,' Mo Cang Hei Yun is one of the female protagonists."

"So, although Hei Yun is a character in 'Young Blood 2,' you can still sign in."

In the drama, Li Yuanhao, the King of Western Xia, is most fond of Mei Zang Hei Yun, and is willing to offend everyone and give up everything for her.

The ethereal beauty of Meizang Heiyun was Yuanhao's childhood dream; only she could calm him from his violent temper. However, she also possessed the resilience and fierce spirit of a Tangut woman. Yuanhao expressed his feelings for Meizang Heiyun when he was 12 years old. This relationship between an older woman and a younger man was not easily understood. It wasn't until his uncle, Wei Mushanxi, rebelled and occupied the city, leaving Yuanhao penniless and ready to take a gamble, that Meizang Heiyun clearly expressed her willingness to elope with him, abandoning worldly concerns.

Meizang Heiyun was Li Yuanhao's spiritual pillar and the only person capable of stopping his killing spree. Her place in his heart was irreplaceable. Li Yuanhao could love and possess many women, but his love was reserved only for Meizang Heiyun. Meizang Heiyun always appeared when Li Yuanhao was most vulnerable and conflicted, but undeniably, her support for him was not fair when it conflicted with her family's interests. Meizang Heiyun did not marry Yuanhao during his lifetime, yet she bore him a posthumous child and became Empress Meizang and later Empress Dowager.

"I never expected that dark clouds were hidden in the Western Xia imperial palace."

"Could it be that Hei Yun hasn't become a monk yet? Or... hasn't Hei Yun joined forces with Li Yuanhao yet?"

Jiang Chen sized up the dark clouds that were not hidden.

The actors who played Xie Yunzhi and Meng Lanzhi were the same as those who played Hei Yun in their previous lives.

Compared to Yelidulan, Jiang Chen thought Cang Heiyun was much prettier.

"Want to go have a look?"

Jiang Chen's eyes flickered.

Perhaps due to the fusion of film and television worlds, Hei Yun didn't appear to be more than twenty years old. However, he could tell that...

After waiting for a while, Jiang Chen saw that there were far fewer people serving Mei Cang Hei Yun, so he came out from his hiding place.

"Who?"

Hei Yun noticed it immediately and looked over at Jiang Chen.

As Mu Cang Hei Yun's voice rang out, the maids also looked over at Jiang Chen.

However, before these maids could even get a good look at Jiang Chen, he knocked them unconscious with a wave of his hand.

"No hidden dark clouds?" Jiang Chen walked towards No Hidden Dark Clouds with a smile.
