Happy life in the world of film and television

Chapter 1576 "With Jin Chang'an" - Li Shuang
Amidst laughter and conversation, Jiang Chen and Lu Xin walked out of the Si Xu Medical Clinic.

"Miss Lu, that's enough for now. I'll take my leave."

After leaving the Si Xu Medical Clinic, Jiang Chen turned to look at Lu Xin.

"it is good."

Lu Xin nodded slightly.

at this time.

The sound of horses' hooves could be heard in the distance.

Jiang Chen's gaze sharpened as he looked toward the source of the sound of hooves.

next moment.

A valiant female general appeared in Jiang Chen's line of sight.

"is her?"

Jiang Chen's gaze sharpened.

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 set of Tiger Cuffs.]

"A pair of tiger shackles?"

"This is the fourth time I've checked in and received a Luo Tiger Cuff."

Tiger cuffs are handcuffs.

The difference is that handcuffs are for arresting ordinary people, while tiger handcuffs are for arresting martial artists.

The tiger shackles are made of special materials; even a grandmaster cannot break free once they are on them. More importantly, these tiger shackles can be unlocked using fingerprints, iris scans, and the family head's seal.

The user's fingerprint and iris scan are the lowest level of unlocking, while the head of the household's seal is the highest level of unlocking.

It can be said that these tiger shackles are the powerful weapon of the Qi Yun family.

"Good stuff."

"This is the lowest level of equipment."

"Although this thing is useless in the Fourth World, it is useful in the First World, the Second World, the Third World, and the Spirit World."

Thinking of this, Jiang Chen looked at the female lead who had signed in.

Li Shuang is a character in "With Jin Chang'an".

In the drama, she is the adopted daughter of General Li, a female general of the Taijin Dynasty, with a cheerful and decisive personality, guarding the frontier. She rescues Jin'an, who has lost his memory, and gives him a name. The two work together to fight against spies and enemy countries, ultimately resolving the crisis facing their family and country.

"Li Shuang in 'Letter to Chang'an of Jin'"

"She really is in this city..."

In the drama, Li Shuang, who comes from a military family in the Tai Jin Dynasty, is the adopted daughter of General Li Wei and the garrison commander of the Changfeng Army in Lucheng.

By a twist of fate, a pampered and arrogant prince, accustomed to a life of luxury and picky eating and dressing, unexpectedly encounters a free-spirited female general who is indifferent to such things. Having lost his memory after a severe injury, he finds himself besieged by enemy forces. She, through a blood oath, transforms from a royal general into a loyal bodyguard, serving the enemy general with unwavering devotion. However, when their paths finally cross again, the two lovers, once so deeply in love, ultimately find themselves on opposite sides.

After forgetting that unbelievable experience, his identity was trying hard to tell him that he and she were enemies, but his body kept telling him that he loved her very much.

Tai Jin and Yao State are neighbors, sharing borders, and frequent battles occur along their frontiers. Yao State's army is led by King Duan Aodeng of Annan, while Tai Jin's Changfeng Army is guarded at the border by the female general Li Shuang.

Duan Aodeng was of royal lineage, and even the dust and sand of the frontier and the bloodshed of battle couldn't conceal the noble and delicate air about him. Not to mention his face, which was both handsome and refined. It wasn't until I saw Duan Aodeng lose his memory and become Jin'an, extremely picky about the food at the general's mansion, preferring to eat only white rice, and having a discerning eye for everything from styles to fabrics at the clothing shop, that I understood why Duan Aodeng attacked Lucheng—it might really be for Lucheng's fine grapes.

Duan Aodeng and Li Shuang were supposed to clash on the battlefield, but an accident led to their premature encounter. Yao Guo had secretly planted spies within the Changfeng Army, causing Li Shuang to suffer heavy losses in the Battle of the River Valley, despite her victory, which sparked criticism from the court and the public and enraged the emperor.

General Li Wei, the Grand General of the Cavalry, incurred the Emperor's wrath and, along with his political enemies, took advantage of his misfortune. Li Shuang was ordered to investigate the spies as soon as possible and atone for her crimes. Meanwhile, General Duan Aodeng of the Yao Kingdom, who intended to personally lead troops to attack Lucheng, received a secret report that his elder brother, Emperor Duan Aozhe of the Yao Kingdom, had been kidnapped by Consort Qin and taken to a mysterious mountain cave.

Driven mad by love, Consort Qin plots to manipulate Duan Aoze with evil magic and seize control of the court. Her henchman, Jin Wujian, seeks to place the Jade Linglong, a supreme treasure of Mount Wuling, into Duan Aoze's body. Legend has it that the Jade Linglong is the most malevolent object in the world; when placed within the body, it can transform a living person into a puppet that obeys its commands. For a puppet to recognize its master, it must be bound by blood and nourished with the essence of blood, thus granting it immense power, capable of fighting against an army single-handedly.

At the critical moment, Duan Aodeng arrived in time and rescued his elder brother from the blood pool, but he himself fell into the pool and was possessed by Yu Linglong. Because of Duan Aodeng's sudden appearance, the puppet refining program malfunctioned, and Duan Aodeng was not bound by a blood pact. He still retained his sanity and escaped after rescuing his elder brother.

Meanwhile, while investigating Yao Jun's spies, Li Shuang fell into a trap and was ambushed and attacked by Yao Jun. In the critical moment, Li Shuang, who was seriously injured, dripped blood from her fingertips, which then flowed down the roadside grass and into the mouth of the unconscious Duan Aodeng. Awakened by the blood, Duan Aodeng transformed into a child, but went berserk and knocked out Yao Jun, who was attacking Li Shuang, with a single palm strike before collapsing unconscious in front of Li Shuang.

Although Li Shuang didn't know who the suddenly appearing child was, she still brought him back to the military camp. She had some doubts about his identity, but couldn't bear to leave a child to fend for himself, so she took care of him personally. Furthermore, the child claimed to have lost his memory and didn't even remember his own name.

Li Shuang named him Jin'an, meaning "May the Jin Dynasty enjoy lasting peace and stability." Unexpectedly, one night, the originally small child grew into a seven-foot-tall man. A tall man, with a childlike and aggrieved expression, looked at Li Shuang, who had drawn her sword and pointed it at him, and declared that he was Jin'an. That scene was truly unbelievable to Li Shuang.

Although he had lost his memory, Jin An did not give up. Instead, he used the limited resources he had to search for his origins. Li Shuang went from doubting Jin An to trusting him, simply because of his repeated acts of risking his life to save her.

During this time, Jin'an helps Li Shuang capture Yao Kingdom spies during the day and assists people who lost their homes due to the war in rebuilding their dwellings. When night falls and Li Shuang is in danger, Jin'an's special abilities are activated, transforming him into a shadow puppet in black armor to protect Li Shuang.

Meanwhile, in the capital of Yao Kingdom, Emperor Yao remained unconscious, and Duan Aodeng was missing and held hostage by Consort Qin. Consort Qin falsely claimed that Emperor Yao had died and that the Prince of Annan had been killed in battle, and then ascended the throne with the new emperor, ruling as regent in a time of crisis. Outside the capital of Yao Kingdom, Jin Wujian repeatedly plotted to frame and capture Jin An, but each time Li Shuang joined forces with him to overcome the difficulties.

Overwhelmed by their emotions, Jin An revealed his true identity to Li Shuang and helped her kill Yao Guo's general. As Li Shuang and Jin An searched for his past, they discovered clues pointing directly to Wuling Mountain.

They went through life and death in the forbidden area of ​​Wuling Mountain, and their relationship deepened.

However, as the Jade Linglong was removed from Jin An's body and his memories gradually returned, he finally remembered his identity as the Prince of An Nan, but at the same time, he forgot his experience as Jin An. Therefore, this loving couple was torn apart by fate, ending up on opposing sides, former lovers now facing each other with swords drawn. But memories may fade, but love remains. So when Li Shuang was captured by Yao's army and subjected to torture, Duan Aodeng outwardly cruelly tormented her, but in reality, he was secretly plotting to help her escape.

With border conflicts still raging, the courts of both nations are also rife with undercurrents. The struggle for succession in Taijin and the plot to assassinate the emperor in Yao both threaten the very existence of both countries. Duan Aodeng ultimately falls in love with Li Shuang, but is forced to break with her and push her towards her childhood sweetheart, Crown Prince Su Muyang.

They pretended to no longer love each other, while secretly protecting each other under the guise of a black-clad knight. They were enemies from past lives, yet also lovers destined to be inseparable.

The Taijin royal family's faction, led by the Crown Prince and Prince Li respectively, saw the struggle for the throne intensify. Ultimately, the Crown Prince, in alliance with the Prime Minister, broke through the encirclement and seized the throne. Consort Qin, to save Duan Aoze, risked her own life for him. However, as Duan Aoze gradually regained his senses, Consort Qin began a conspiracy to imprison the emperor, forge imperial edicts, and seize control of the court.

Duan Aodeng never imagined that the pacification of the conspiracy between the two countries and the cessation of hostilities would come at the cost of the lives of Li family father and daughter. General Li Wei went to Yao Kingdom to negotiate peace, but was killed by a hail of arrows. The crown prince ascended the throne as emperor, but it was Li Shuang's time to die.

What Duan Aodeng didn't know was that, on the surface, it was Li Shuang who volunteered to die for the greater good of the world, but in reality, it was Su Muyang who used a fake death drug to keep Li Shuang alive. Knowing that Li Shuang was not dead, he still announced to the world that Li Shuang should be buried with the honors of an empress, just to lure Duan Aodeng here alone.

As an emperor, he should have seized the opportunity to kill Yao's only war god general. However, as someone who also deeply loved Li Shuang, he had to admit that Duan Aodeng loved Li Shuang even more than he did. In order to win back Li Shuang, Duan Aodeng did not hesitate to take the Jade Linglong again and place it inside his own body, just to break into the imperial mausoleum and reclaim his beloved.

But Duan Aodeng never expected that Li Shuang was still alive, and that Su Muyang would choose to let them go. From then on, Tai Jin and Yao Guo ceased hostilities, coexisted peacefully, and shared a prosperous era. Li Shuang and Duan Aodeng were finally able to leave the battlefield and live a carefree life.

From a loyal prince and a general from an enemy state to an ordinary couple who have retired to the mountains, Li Shuang is no longer the garrison commander of Changfeng Army, and Duan Aodeng only wishes to become Li Shuang's Jin'an.

"Li Shuang's affection for Duan Aodeng is like a Chinese general falling in love with a Japanese prince during a war between China and Japan."

"The Great Jin Dynasty and the Great Yao Dynasty were sworn enemies."

"From the perspective of national righteousness, Li Shuang and Duan Aodeng are enemies."

"In the drama, Li Shuang and Duan Aodeng have a sweet love story, but in reality, this is impossible."

"Even if it's possible, it's still a tragedy."

Jiang Chen felt that the incident involving Li Shuang and Duan Aodeng proved that one should not pick up men on the street.

A saintly heart is undesirable.

However, Jiang Chen was still quite surprised to encounter Li Shuang here.

According to Jiang Chen's original plan, he wanted to visit Li Shuang at the Changfeng Army's camp. After all, having come to Lucheng, he should at least check in with the two leading ladies of Lucheng.

Just as Jiang Chen was recalling the plot related to Li Shuang, Li Shuang had already arrived in front of the Si Xu Medical Hall with her entourage and dismounted.

“Li Shuang.” Lu Xin said happily when she saw Li Shuang.

"Lu Xin." Li Shuang greeted Lu Xin warmly.

Li Shuang and Lu Xin are best friends and are very familiar with each other.

After chatting for a while, Lu Xin remembered Jiang Chen who was standing next to her.

“Young Master Jiang…” “Oh, Miss Lu, is this General Li Shuang, the General Who Guards the North?” Jiang Chen asked Lu Xin after regaining his senses.

"Yes, this is Li Shuang."

Lu Xin nodded and said, "Li Shuang, this is Young Master Jiang Chen. Young Master Jiang is proficient in medicine."

"Proficient in medicine?" A glint flashed in Li Shuang's eyes.

She knew Lu Xin's dedication to medicine; someone she called a master of medicine was certainly no ordinary person.

"I only know a little bit," Jiang Chen said modestly.

Li Shuang, Su Tan'er, Liu Yuru, and others were played by the same actor in their previous lives.

Unlike Su Tan'er and the others.

When she was in Li Shuang's place, she exuded a more heroic and battle-hardened aura.

"Miss Lu, General Li, I'll take my leave now." Jiang Chen understood that Li Shuang must have something to discuss with Lu Xin. He and Lu Xin might be able to talk about medical skills, but he and Li Shuang had only just met, so there was naturally nothing to talk about.

"Young Master Jiang, please take care," Li Shuang said.

Jiang Chen nodded, turned and left.

"Is Jiang Chen's medical skill really as amazing as you say?" Li Shuang asked after Jiang Chen left.

"Yes, I just talked to him and found that Jiang Chen's medical skills are much better than mine." As Lu Xin spoke, she recounted what had just happened inside.

"So, he appeared out of nowhere?" Li Shuang asked.

"Yes." Lu Xin nodded.

“This person’s background is unknown, you should be careful,” Li Shuang said.

“He said he was from Yunzhou City,” Lu Xin said.

"Yunzhou City? Should I send someone to investigate?" Li Shuang asked.

“There’s no need,” Lu Xin shook her head and said, “We’ve only met by chance, and we might never see each other again.”

"Then forget it." Li Shuang said nothing more, and instead pulled Lu Xin into the Si Xu Medical Clinic.

……

the other side.

"Now that we've met Lu Xin and Li Shuang, let's go see Changfeng Army."

"The exact number of Changfeng Army soldiers in the drama is unknown. However, the Changfeng Army, stationed in the north of the Great Jin Dynasty, numbers at least several hundred thousand."

Jiang Chen charged toward the Changfeng Army.

Lucheng was the garrison of the Changfeng Army, but not all Changfeng Army troops were stationed in Lucheng.

After entering the Changfeng Army camp, Jiang Chen observed that there were as many as 80,000 Changfeng Army soldiers in Lucheng.

"The strength of the Changfeng Army is about the same as that of the Ye Family Army of the Song Kingdom."

"However, that's all."

After touring the Changfeng Army camp, Jiang Chen left.

However, as Jiang Chen was leaving the Changfeng Army camp, he suddenly thought of Yu Linglong from the drama.

"Yu Linglong is the most evil magical artifact in 'With Jin Chang'an'. It has the ability to control and transform living people into puppets, and bind them to a destiny through a blood pact. It is also an evil object created by Consort Qin and a sorcerer of the Dayao Dynasty, which can transform living people into puppets without their own consciousness through blood."

"Shadow puppets need to recognize their master through a blood pact. The master can nourish the shadow puppet with their blood energy to give it extraordinary combat power. For example, it can appear as a child during the day and transform into a masked person at night."

"In the drama, Duan Aodeng (alias Jin An) falls into a blood pool while rescuing his brother and accidentally merges with Yu Linglong to become a shadow puppet. He needs to rely on Li Shuang's blood to maintain his life and repair his wounds. The blood pact makes the two have a telepathic connection. Jin An will instinctively protect Li Shuang, forming a "mutual redemption" relationship. However, the conflict between family and country and the conflict of identities foreshadow a tragic love story."

"At the same time, it is also a tool for game theory."

"Yu Linglong was used to control the emperor and manufacture weapons of war, reflecting the power class's manipulation of technology and human nature in the drama."

Jiang Chen remembered that after Yu Linglong was implanted into the body, it could grant the host extraordinary abilities, such as increased strength, instant healing of injuries, and even the ability to nourish the shadow puppet with blood energy to enhance its combat power. At the same time, the host would gradually lose their original memories and form a "blood pact" with the implanter (bound through a blood contract), causing the host's behavior to be controlled.

However, there are also many side effects after implanting the Jade Pendant. Because the Jade Pendant is not fully integrated, the host may experience changes in physical age (such as sometimes being an adult and sometimes a child), fluctuations in power, and other phenomena. The host and the implanter form a dependent relationship, causing complex emotional bonds to develop between originally hostile characters (such as Jin An and Li Shuang).

"There is no Jade Linglong in the Third World, or even in the Fourth World."

"I wonder how the Second World was made."

"I must find an opportunity to figure out how to refine the Jade Linglong."

Jiang Chen felt that both the Jade Linglong and the Life and Death Talisman had their own advantages and disadvantages.

If the Jade Linglong and the Life and Death Talisman could be combined, it would be a great help to the Jiang family.

However, to combine the Jade Linglong with the Life and Death Talisman, a solution must be found to break the cycle.

Jiang Chen remembers that the key steps in the drama to break the Jade Linglong included using the Ink Guide to retrieve the Jade Linglong, breaking the blood pact, and the subsequent processing of emotions and memories.

Combining the methods to remove the Jade Linglong curse with the methods to remove the Life and Death Talisman is not an easy task.

"Next, we'll head to Yunzhou City..."

With that thought in mind, Jiang Chen headed towards Yunzhou City.

……

"This is Yunzhou City..."

Jiang Chen surveyed Yunzhou City from high above.

Yunzhou City is surrounded by water on three sides and backed by mountains on one side. Its city walls are sturdy, and its walls are high and its moats are deep, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Yunzhou City was a brick city with additional crenellations and gate towers on the walls. The city walls were roughly rectangular, with a perimeter of about eight kilometers, a height of eight meters, and a width of ten to fifteen meters.

Yunzhou City has six city gates, each with a barbican and an inner city. There are corner towers at the four corners of the city. There are guard posts along the city wall. There are more than 4,000 crenellations on the city wall. The lowest point of the city wall is seven meters high, and the highest point is eleven meters high.

A river runs around the city wall of Yunzhou, which also serves as the city's moat. It has an average width of 250 meters and a maximum width of 280 meters.

"This Yunzhou City is quite nice..."

"It is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is also adjacent to four countries."

Is this a no-man's-land? Or a battleground?

"It's probably because the Great Jin Dynasty, Southern Chu, Great Yao Dynasty, and Great Wei Dynasty all want Yunzhou City. But none of them want the other to occupy Yunzhou City. That's why Yunzhou City has become a no-man's-land."

Jiang Chen's figure flashed and appeared in an empty alley in Yunzhou City.

"Next, we'll buy a house."

At present, Jiang Chen found a brokerage firm in Yunzhou City.

An hour later, Jiang Chen bought a large five-courtyard house in the Dongcheng District.

According to the broker, this house belonged to a nobleman of the Daqi Dynasty.

The property prices here are not low; Jiang Chen spent tens of thousands of taels of silver to buy it.

After Ya Zi left, Jiang Chen strolled around the house and then set up the family teleportation talisman.

"It's time to go back."

Jiang Chen took a deep breath and stepped into the family teleportation talisman.
