Happy life in the world of film and television

Chapter 1567 Arrangements for Liu Xiyin

"Who are you?" Mu Cang Hei Yun stared coldly at Jiang Chen, but there was no panic in his eyes.

At this moment, her composure was second to none.

"Me? You don't need to know who I am. The only reason I'm here is to ask you, Mu Cang Heiyun, if you want to become the Empress of Western Xia," Jiang Chen said with a smile.

Whether in the drama or in history, Hei Yun was a regent who ruled for eight years.

Jiang Chen recalled that after Li Liangzuo ascended the throne, the Mozang siblings held absolute power. During their rule, Mozang Heiyun personally oversaw the construction of Chengtian Temple, promoting the development of Buddhist culture in Western Xia. She maintained friendly relations with the Song Dynasty and ordered her brother, Mozang Epang, to return the Song Dynasty land across the Quye River that they had seized. She also commanded troops to repel the Khitan, but suffered three more defeats and was forced to sue for peace with the Khitan. During the war, Yuanhao's widow, Moyi, and others were captured. She also strengthened military preparedness, frequently sending envoys to pacify the various Dangxiang tribes, and maintaining a constant mobilization and training of troops throughout the country.

Although her family background played a part, a regent empress dowager was no less a potential candidate for empress. If Zang Heiyun hadn't cooperated, the Jiang family might have been able to cultivate a representative for the Western Xia.

"Are you talking nonsense?" Mei Cang Hei Yun looked at Jiang Chen as if he were an idiot.

“Nonsense? I’m not talking nonsense.” Jiang Chen walked up to Mei Cang Hei Yun and looked her up and down.

Mei Cang Hei Yun was actually Ye Li Du Lan's sister-in-law. She was the wife of Ye Li Yu Qi. After her husband was killed by Li Yuan Hao, she became a nun. Later, she was taken into Li Yuan Hao's harem, became his favorite concubine, and participated in politics. With her wisdom and strategy, she rose from nun to empress within five years and promoted political reforms in Western Xia.

The Western Xia dynasty has only just been established, and Yeli Dulan is still the Empress of Western Xia, while the Yeli family is still a noble family of Western Xia.

“I am Yeli Yuqi’s wife,” said Meicang Heiyun.

“I know, but Yeli Yuqi won’t live much longer,” Jiang Chen said.

"What did you say?" Mu Cang Hei Yun's expression changed slightly.

"Don't you understand?" Jiang Chen didn't think that Cang Heiyun was unaware of the danger the existence of the Western Xia nobles posed to Li Yuanhao. However, even if Li Yuanhao didn't intend to eliminate the Western Xia nobles, he could still allow him to.

“I don’t know what you mean,” said Muzang Heiyun.

“If Li Yuanhao can be emperor, you can be empress. Mei Cang Heiyun, you can consider it. Next time I come to see you, I hope you will give me an answer,” Jiang Chen said.

Mu Cang Hei Yun did not answer Jiang Chen's question, but just stared at him coldly.

Jiang Chen stepped forward and pinched the chin of the man who was not hiding his dark cloud: "You should think it over carefully."

"Let me go." Mu Cang Hei Yun struggled.

"Okay." Jiang Chen laughed and turned to leave.

Mei Cang Heiyun's face was ashen.

She never imagined that in this heavily guarded palace, outsiders could freely enter and leave without anyone noticing.

However, thinking of the empress that Jiang Chen had just mentioned, Mu Cang Hei Yun suddenly had a thought.

Because it was so tempting, and she didn't hide her true intentions; in fact, she was also a person with great ambitions.

But after thinking about it for a while, Hei Yun calmed down.

Because she knew it was wishful thinking, it was impossible.

……

the other side.

"If you don't have any hidden agendas, I'm not afraid that you lack ambition."

"I wonder what will happen when your ambitions finally erupt?"

As Jiang Chen continued to stroll through the Western Xia Imperial Palace, he kept thinking about the hidden darkness.

Based on the conversation with Meizang Heiyun just now, it seems that Meizang Heiyun's husband has not been executed yet, and the reason she is in the palace today is probably because of Yelidulan.

After all, as the sister-in-law of the emperor, Li Yuanhao was the wife of a powerful general, which was equivalent to a first-rank imperial consort in the Song Dynasty.

After strolling around the Western Xia Imperial Palace for a while, Jiang Chen met Xi Feng Simeng.

The system notification sounded the moment Xi Feng Simeng was seen.

"Sign in."

Jiang Chen silently recited in his heart.

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully checked in and received one set of Luo Wang's Handcuffs.]

"One Luo King's Handcuffs?"

"This is the sixth time I've checked in and received a Luo Wang handcuff."

"Wang kuai" means handcuffs.

The difference is that handcuffs are for ordinary people, while the King's Handcuffs, like the Tiger Handcuffs, are for martial artists. The Tiger Handcuffs are made of special materials, and even a grandmaster cannot break free once they are on the martial artist. More importantly, these Tiger Handcuffs are unlocked using fingerprints, iris scans, and the family head's seal. The user's fingerprints and iris scans are the lowest level of unlocking, while the family head's seal is the highest level.

The king's handcuffs and tiger's handcuffs are similar.

The difference is that once someone is handcuffed by the King's Shackles, even a Martial King realm martial artist cannot break free.

Like the Tiger Handcuffs, the King Handcuffs are unlocked using fingerprints, iris scans, and the patriarch's seal. The user's fingerprints and iris scans are the lowest level of unlocking, while the patriarch's seal is the highest level.

It can be said that these royal handcuffs, like the tiger handcuffs, are powerful weapons of the Qi Yun family.

"Good stuff."

After all, the Tiger Cuffs are only effective against Grandmasters at best, but now that we have the King Cuffs, they might have an unexpected effect.

Both the Embroidered Uniform Guard and the Plum Blossom Guard required tiger-handled and king-handled shackles.

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

Xi Feng Simeng is a character in "Helan Xue".

In the drama, she is a woman who goes from a lowly maid to a princess of Western Xia, and then to the queen of Tibet.

"Xi Feng Simeng in 'Helan Snow'?"

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

In the drama, Xi Feng Simeng is a maid who has served Yuan Hao since childhood. She is deeply in love with her master, but Li Yuanhao betroths her to his cousin. Later, during a war, Li Yuanhao abandons Xi Feng Simeng's fiancé to protect Yeli Yuqi, allowing him to be killed by the enemy. Out of guilt, Li Yuanhao marries Xi Feng Simeng, but betrays her when it comes to choosing an empress, making Yeli Dulan the empress instead.

Xi Feng Simeng and Princess Xingping were very close. On her way to visit her in the Liao Kingdom, she was abducted by Si Duo Du Nie, the younger brother of Li Yuanhao's nemesis. Instead of rescuing her, Li Yuanhao generously gave her to Si Duo Du Nie and even wrote a letter wishing them happiness. For a woman, encountering such a man is incredibly unlucky. Fortunately, Si Duo Du Nie treated her well, and she unexpectedly found true love. After Si Duo Du Nie's death, Li Yuanhao wanted to take her away, but Xi Feng Simeng chose to commit suicide.

"Compared to Hei Yun, Xi Feng Simeng is much worse."

"However, in this historical context, if a woman cannot prove her worth, then she is the value itself."

"This is exactly what Xifeng Si Meng is all about."

Jiang Chen glanced at Xi Feng Simeng and continued walking forward.

Well, today he just wants to tour Li Yuanhao's harem and sign in with all the female leads.

Fifteen minutes later, Jiang Chen met another female lead.

The system notification sounded.

"Sign in."

Jiang Chen silently recited in his heart.

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully checked in and received a portal fusion talisman.]

"A portal fusion talisman?"

As the name suggests, it is a randomized, directional portal fusion talisman for the film and television fusion world. With this portal fusion talisman, a randomized, directional portal for the film and television fusion world can be placed on the main gate of the Daming Palace.

The Daming Palace city wall has nine gates. The main gate of Daming Palace is Danfeng Gate, located in the center of the south side. Wangxian Gate and Jianfu Gate are located to the east and west respectively. Xuanwu Gate is located in the center of the north side. Yinhan Gate and Qingxiao Gate are located to the east and west respectively. Zuoyintai Gate is located in the east. Youyintai Gate and Jiuxian Gate are located to the north and south of the west side respectively.

Danfeng Gate connects to the First World, Zuoyintai Gate connects to Mulan Hunting Grounds, Youyintai Gate connects to the Spirit Realm, and Qingxiao Gate connects to the Jiang Family Medicine Garden.

"Now that we have the portal fusion talisman, we can randomly select one of the portals from the three film and television fusion worlds and place it at a gate of the Daming Palace."

"This means that you can still get portal fusion tokens by signing in in the future."

"When you want to travel to other worlds, you won't need to open the portal at East Suburb No. 1 in the First World. You can just open the portal directly after the randomly selected portal in the Film and Television Fusion World opens."

"However, after the portal fusion talisman was installed, the portals to other worlds were also fixed."

"This means that if a portal fusion talisman is placed at a gate in the Daming Palace, then the location where the portal to the film and television fusion world was placed when leaving the Second World will remain the same forever."

"It's like fixing a random, directional portal between the film and television worlds."

Jiang Chen felt that with the existence of this portal fusion talisman, the Daming Palace was like the center of several worlds.

Jiang Chen also understood that there must be a reason for signing in and obtaining the portal fusion talisman, which also meant that he needed to establish a base camp in another world, and a fixed base camp at that.

However, Jiang Chen didn't think too much about it at the moment, and instead looked at the female lead who had signed in.

Wang Lijiayu is a character in the novel "Helan Xue".

In the drama, Wangli Jiayu is the daughter of the Wangli clan chief, and the wife that Li Yuanhao stole from his half-brother, Siduo Dune. This woman is very scheming and domineering, willing to do anything for fame and fortune, and ultimately meets a bad end. In the words of Master Xuanji, greed made her lose her footing and ultimately led her into a dilemma.

"To profit from fine jade?"

Jiang Chen sized up Li Jiayu.

He felt that Li Jiayu was too unfamiliar to him.

After all, this TV series, "Helan Snow," is too old.

There is very little known about Li Jiayu's role in the drama.

However, Li Yuanhao's half-brother is the King of Tubo, but Tubo in this world is the area south of the Zhufeng Dynasty, north of the eastern part of the Dadong Empire, northwest of Yongqing Kingdom, and west of Chengdu Prefecture of Song Kingdom.

This area is where the Tanxiao Mountains branch and the Xiya Mountains intersect.

There are deserts, plateaus, and mountains.

Therefore, although the country here is called Tubo, it is actually an alliance of tribes.

After meeting Li Jiayu, Jiang Chen wandered around for a while but didn't encounter any other female leads.

Immediately, Jiang Chen left the palace and found Liu Xiyin. "You, you are the Duke of Yongguo?" Liu Xiyin stood up in shock upon seeing Jiang Chen.

“It’s me, but you’re surprised to see me?” Jiang Chen said.

"Why has the Duke of Yongguo come?" Liu Xiyin asked.

“I heard you were involved in an arranged marriage, so I came to check on you,” Jiang Chen said.

"Is there anything I can do for you, Duke Yongguo?" Liu Xiyin asked.

"Do you want to take control of your own destiny?" Jiang Chen asked.

"What?" Liu Xiyin looked at Jiang Chen with some confusion.

“If you don’t want to submit to Western Xia, you can cooperate with me…” Jiang Chen explained his plan.

"Is this alright?" Liu Xiyin asked hesitantly.

"Whether it's possible or not isn't important; what's important is that the consequences are better than what you're experiencing now," Jiang Chen said.

Liu Xiyin remained silent.

"Liu Xiyin, do you like Ye Zhao?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Ah..." Liu Xiyin exclaimed in surprise.

“Ye Zhao is a woman,” Jiang Chen said.

"What?" Liu Xiyin was stunned.

“Ye Zhao is a woman,” Jiang Chen said again.

"How is this possible..." Liu Xiyin looked at Jiang Chen in disbelief after she came to her senses.

“I’m telling the truth.” Jiang Chen nodded and recounted how Ye Zhao had disguised herself as a man.

"How could this be, how could this be..." Liu Xiyin staggered backward, unable to bear the blow.

"Be careful."

Jiang Chen strode forward and embraced Liu Xiyin.

It took Liu Xiyin a while to come to her senses.

It was at this moment that Liu Xiyin realized she was in Jiang Chen's arms.

"Duke Yongguo?" Liu Xiyin's face flushed slightly.

"Have you accepted it?" Jiang Chen asked.

"I...I haven't thought it through..." Liu Xiyin couldn't accept it.

“Ye Zhao is also a person with a tragic fate,” Jiang Chen said.

"..." Liu Xiyin.

"Do you want to cooperate with me now?" Jiang Chen asked.

"I think so." Liu Xiyin nodded.

"Then I'll tell you about the plan." Jiang Chen explained his plan.

"I... I can't do it alone," Liu Xiyin said.

“You’re just an ordinary person now, so it’s impossible for you to successfully execute a plan in Western Xia. However, if you were a martial artist, your success rate would be much higher,” Jiang Chen said.

"A martial artist?" Liu Xiyin looked at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen said, "Yes, as long as you are willing, I can make you a martial artist."

"I can become a martial artist?" Liu Xiyin looked at Jiang Chen in shock.

“Yes, I have a kind of pill that can make you a martial artist,” Jiang Chen said.

“Even if I could become a martial artist, it wouldn’t be something that can be done in a short time, would it? Right now in Western Xia, so many people are watching me,” Liu Xiyin asked.

“That’s easy, I can find someone to impersonate you first,” Jiang Chen said.

"A fake?" Liu Xiyin was slightly taken aback.

“Yes.” Jiang Chen nodded.

The Western Xia Dynasty had the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

As long as the Imperial Guards are around, finding a double is very easy. With Jiang Chen's disguise skills, he could easily run into his enemy.

“Then I’ll listen to you,” Liu Xiyin said.

"Okay, then I'll take you somewhere first." Jiang Chen clapped his hands.

The next moment, a figure walked in.

"This……"

Liu Xiyin stared at the other person in shock.

Because this person looks almost exactly like her.

"This is the stand-in I found for you," Jiang Chen said.

"I'm sorry to trouble you, Duke Yongguo." Liu Xiyin didn't want to marry into the Western Xia, but her family was in the Song Kingdom, so she had no choice but to come. Now that Jiang Chen had assured her, she felt at ease.

"Let's go." Jiang Chen left with Liu Xiyin.

A moment later, Jiang Chen led Liu Xiyin to a courtyard.

"Everyone here is one of our own."

Jiang Chen said, "Liu Xiyin, let me teach you cultivation first."

"Is it to take a pill?" Liu Xiyin asked when she saw Jiang Chen take out a pill.

“Yes, this is one way to become a martial artist.” Jiang Chen nodded, and then taught Liu Xiyin how to cultivate.

After taking the Biling Pill, Liu Xiyin became a third-rate martial artist as she wished.

"Is this what it feels like to become a martial artist?" Liu Xiyin found it very strange.

“Yes.” Jiang Chen nodded and said, “Right now you are only a third-rate martial artist, your strength level is still a bit low, and you have no combat experience. So, I will find some time to arrange for you to train for a period of time.”

Jiang Chen felt that Liu Xiyin was perfectly capable of becoming a member of the Embroidered Uniform Guard or the Plum Blossom Guard.

However, there are still five spots left on the previously cut-off Plum Blossom Inner Guard training cards, and enough players are needed to use them.

"Can it quickly improve my strength?" Liu Xiyin asked.

"No."

Jiang Chen shook his head and said, "Cultivation is something that can't be rushed. But don't worry, I can arrange it."

Based on Liu Xiyin's performance in "Oh My General," it means that Liu Xiyin is a capable person. Such a person, after systematic training, will definitely demonstrate even stronger abilities.

"Duke Yongguo, does the Emperor know that my cousin (Ye Zhao) is a woman?" Liu Xiyin asked.

"Hmm." Jiang Chen looked at Liu Xiyin with surprise.

He never expected that Liu Xiyin could figure this out just from what he had just said.

After a pause, Jiang Chen said, "After Ye Zhao returns from his northern expedition, Emperor Cheng Zhao will bestow a marriage upon him, and it will inevitably be with a dissolute member of the imperial family."

"The emperor wants military power?" Liu Xiyin asked pointedly.

“Yes.” Jiang Chen nodded: “If Emperor Cheng Zhao had been more ruthless, Ye Zhao might have died in battle.”

"What, killed in battle?" Liu Xiyin's face turned pale.

She was a smart woman and naturally understood the meaning behind Jiang Chen's words.

More importantly, Jiang Chen, the Duke of Yong of Song, was someone who had broken away from the Song state.

“That’s normal, after all, the Ye family army is too strong,” Jiang Chen said.

"Then... what should we do?" Liu Xiyin grabbed Jiang Chen's hand.

“I will take action,” Jiang Chen said.

"Really?" Liu Xiyin looked at Jiang Chen.

“Of course.” Jiang Chen nodded slightly. “As long as you follow my plan in Xixia, you and Ye Zhao will definitely be fine.”

"So I'll be staying here from now on?" Liu Xiyin asked.

“Yes, I’ll come to see you in a while,” Jiang Chen said.

"Okay." Liu Xiyin nodded.

Jiang Chen clapped his hands.

Two women walked in.

“They are also from the Song Kingdom. Next, they will be your maids. You can ask them to do anything you need. Even if you want to go outside, you can have them disguise you,” Jiang Chen said.

"Can I go out?" Liu Xiyin looked at Jiang Chen in surprise.

“Of course, I’m not imprisoning you. You can certainly go out, but there are many Song spies in Zhongxing Prefecture, so we can’t let them recognize you,” Jiang Chen said.

"I understand." Liu Xiyin nodded.

“If you want to contact me, you can have them let me know. I’ll come over whenever I have time,” Jiang Chen continued.

"Okay." Liu Xiyin nodded gently, then looked at Jiang Chen, seemingly wanting to say something but hesitating.
