I, who disguised myself as a woman, turned out to be a queen! ?

Chapter 1274 The Turmoil in Shu (Part 2)
Everyone in the hall turned to look at that direction.
Right outside the main hall, on the steps, a large banner came into everyone's view.

The tiger-head banner has the character "典" (dian) printed on it!

Dian Junming's Tiger Warriors!

The guards outside the palace immediately retreated to the entrance of the main hall, lined up in a row, and stood ready for battle.

The remaining people in the hall all wore solemn expressions.

They arrived so quickly!?

Wang Mang simply opened the gate for him?
They really formed an alliance.

The remaining officials were prepared to die, but when the time came, fear inevitably showed on their faces.

Immediately, everyone saw Dian Junming riding up on horseback.

Dian Junming's armor was stained with blood; he held a large banner in one hand and the reins in the other.

Everyone looked at him.

He looked at the crowd.

And behind him
A group of blood-stained soldiers ascended the steps in unison, each holding a crescent-shaped halberd horizontally, exuding a murderous aura.

Snapped!
Dian Junming forcefully shoved the great banner in his hand into the stone in front of the main hall, while his gaze was fixed on the Shu King who was still drinking. He then dismounted with a smirk.

"You little beast!" Yan Yan strode forward, drawing his long sword from his waist.

Yu Taohua looked at Dian Junming with some surprise. What a skill he had in the art of fighting like a warrior.

When the old blind man saw Yu Taohua about to get up, he reached out and pressed her down, then shook his head.

Yu Taohua was puzzled, but she didn't ask any more questions and continued to sit at the table eating peanuts and watching the excitement.

Xia Tingyu walked quickly to Yan Yan's side, with the black tiger following closely behind. Having just killed someone, the tiger's fangs and lips were stained with blood again, and its eyes were bloodshot. It stayed close to Xia Tingyu's side.

"This humble general, Dian Junming, greets Your Highness and Your Highness the Princess."

When Dian Junming arrived at the door, he glanced at the dead bodies on the ground and thought, "Hey, not a single one of them is any good."

He then clasped his hands in a respectful bow.

"Are there enough people in this hall for you, Dian Junming, to show off your power?"

Yan Yan looked at Dian Junming without any politeness. She pulled aside the assassins at the door and looked at Dian Junming. The blade at her waist was already half drawn, and she seemed ready to fight to the death.

However, Dian Junming looked at Yan Yan and chuckled, "What the old man said is true, I..."

Snapped!
Yan Yan slapped Dian Junming across the face!

Upon seeing this, Dian Junming's soldiers stepped forward one by one.

But when Dian Junming raised his hand, everyone stopped.

Yan Yan roared, "Come on! I know I can't beat you, so kill me! Rebellion? Hmph, you, Dian Junming, are quite capable! If you don't kill me today, I'll kill you! A rebel has emerged from my army?! Impressive!"

Keng!
As he spoke, Yan Yan drew his sword.

But the sword is not fully drawn yet.

However, Xia Tingyu grabbed his wrist, preventing him from drawing the knife.

Seeing this, Dian Junming chuckled and looked at Xia Tingyu: "It's still the girl who cares about her uncle."

Xia Tingyu remained expressionless. After stopping Yan Yan, she turned her foxy eyes to Dian Junming and asked bluntly, "How are Master Yao and the others?"

Upon hearing this, Dian Junming immediately replied, "Everything is fine."

Xia Tingyu clenched her fists: "You're alright without your hand?"

Dian Junming smiled and nodded: "Uncle Xin is it, he's doing great."

As he spoke, he reached out and began to rub Xia Tingyu's skin.

"Hoo!" Black Tiger growled softly without saying a word.

Xia Tingyu simply sidestepped and dodged.

Dian Junming wasn't annoyed. He laughed and looked up at the Prince of Shu at the very front of the hall. "Your Highness, you won't let me in? Don't worry! I'll go in alone!"

The King of Shu looked at Dian Junming and said, "Then come in."

Upon hearing this, everyone glanced at the King of Shu, then remained silent.

Fa Yuan glanced at Dian Junming, then at the iron cavalry outside, before looking back at Dian Junming as he strode into the hall.

Now is the best time to kill him!
Even if we don't kill them, kidnapping them is a good option!

Fa Yuan then looked at Wu Qinhu and the others.

However, upon discovering that these individuals, who were capable of subduing Dian Junming, a Grandmaster of the Ultimate Realm, remained completely still, they immediately became somewhat anxious.

However, Dian Junming naturally saw Yu Taohua and the others as well. After bowing to Wu Qinhu, the old blind man, and Wu Mao, he looked at the old poisoner and Yu Taohua, chuckled, and said nothing. After bowing, he looked at the King of Shu.

The King of Shu raised his eyes: "What about Wang Mang's favor to Yao?"

Dian Junming said, "And then?"

Shen Yue stepped forward and looked at Dian Junming: "General Dian, the Prince has treated you well, why did you rebel! You should not be such a villain as Guo Fu and the others."

Dian Junming looked at Shen Yue and laughed, "I didn't rebel, Lord Shen. You're putting this big accusation on my head, that's not right."

Yan Yan was about to speak.

But Xia Tingyu stopped her.

But Fa Yuan couldn't hold back any longer: "They brought troops into the city and even went to the Shu Prince's residence. What else could this be but a rebellion?!"

Dian Junming smiled at Fa Yuan, then looked up at the Prince of Shu: "Your Highness, don't you have anything to say?"

The King of Shu picked up his wine cup, looked up at Dian Junming, and said, "I've thought about it for a long time, but I still can't figure out your reason for doing this."

Upon hearing this, Dian Junming couldn't help but smile: "If Your Highness could understand this matter, many things in the past would not have happened."

Dian Junming turned to look outside the hall: "Of course, if you could really figure this out, then you wouldn't be Xia Fengye."

The King of Shu remained expressionless, but looked at Dian Junming and said, "Yao's favor was due to this girl. Then, what about Wang Mang?"

Dian Junming glanced at Xia Tingyu and said, "They each have their reasons, who knows? But Wang Mang has been by your side for longer than I have. If you don't know, how would I know? However, you probably won't see those two anymore; they can't come up."

The King of Shu asked again, "You knew a long time ago that Azhi was Fang Wenhe's apprentice?"

Dian Junming turned around and said casually, "More than ten years ago, which means I knew about it quite early."

The King of Shu spoke up: "So that's when you started secretly contacting Fang Wenhe."

Upon hearing this, Dian Junming smiled slightly and turned around: "Your Highness, would you believe me if I said that I have only met with Mr. Fang three times in private?"

The King of Shu did not speak.

Dian Junming bowed to Wu Qinhu and the others again: "Gentlemen, I heard about Zhang Zi's matter from Wang Mang. Well done! I've disliked that old bastard for a long time. He's always been against my Tingyu family. He's been colluding with Yao Xisheng since before, and then it was Zhang Zi who took over. But unfortunately, I'm not capable enough to kill him!"

The old blind man faced Dian Junming and said, "I gave the chessboard to Wenhe, but he didn't play. So he gave the player's position to you."

Dian Junming gave an awkward smile: "I'm such a terrible chess player, this is the only method I can think of. Otherwise, I really have no other choice. I hope you'll forgive my poor performance."

The old blind man smiled and said, "Everyone has their own difficulties and their own tricks. You've done very well."

Dian Junming gave an awkward smile and then said, "Later, I'll have a hard time defeating those powerful figures in the Western Regions, especially since there are two women and three old men among them. They're incredibly strong, so I'll need your help."

Wu Qinhu seemed to understand something and said, "You do your thing, and we'll do ours."

Yu Taohua raised her eyelids: "Aren't you begging us to go out together? I see there are a lot of people outside the Prince's Mansion."

Dian Junming looked at Yu Taohua and guessed her identity. He smiled and said, "No need for you to trouble yourselves. You can handle those Grandmasters. We soldiers will take care of these soldiers. And we'll have to trouble you to protect Tingyu."

Having said that, he clasped his hands in a fist and bowed deeply.

Then he turned to look at Xia Tingyu, who looked completely bewildered.

In fact, many people in the hall were a bit confused after listening to the conversation between Dian Junming and the King of Shu.

How did Mr. Fang get involved?

Mr. Fang is rebelling too?

But there's a strange feeling that something's not quite right about this.

As Xia Tingyu watched Dian Junming walk towards her, she couldn't help but frown.

But I haven't finished yet.
Inside the hall, everyone heard the sound of iron hooves and the marching of the army once again.

Subconscious!
All eyes turned to the outside of the main hall.

"Don't worry, they can't get in." Dian Junming looked at Xia Tingyu and said with a smile, "We can't alert Wang Mang, so this is the only way for me. Otherwise, we won't be able to bring a single soldier into the city."

Xia Tingyu frowned and looked at Dian Junming with a puzzled expression: "You..."

But before she could finish speaking, Xia Tingyu seemed to suddenly remember something and immediately looked at Dian Junming, "Did Master ask you to do these things?"

But Dian Junming laughed loudly, "Mr. Fang didn't tell me this stupid idea; I came up with it myself. But let's not talk about that. Uncle came up here just to see you, to see our beautiful little daughter, Tingyu. And to leave these people here for you. From now on, they'll listen to you. Our niece can't be outshone by those bastards in the capital, Zhang Junyi!"

Upon hearing this, the deputy general who had replaced Dian Junming standing on one side of the banner immediately clasped his hands in greeting: "This humble general, Zhang Junyi, a Tiger Warrior, pays his respects to Your Highness!"

One person kneels!

The others followed Dian Junming and knelt on one knee.

This sudden scene.
This once again left everyone in the hall stunned.

These people didn't come to kill them?
Wasn't he brought up by Dian Junming's rebellion?

this.
What's going on here?

Xia Tingyu looked at Dian Junming and suddenly understood something, though some things were still unclear, such as why Dian Junming did these things.
Looking at Dian Junming, Xia Tingyu pursed her lips.

Dian Junming raised his hand and rubbed Xia Tingyu's head: "Princess, I'll be right at the door, I won't go anywhere, don't worry."

After saying that, he looked at Yan Yan, clasped his hands in a fist and smiled, and said there was nothing more to say.

He strode straight towards the door.

Yan Yan looked at Dian Junming, seemingly understanding something, and immediately frowned.

Dian Junming strode out of the main hall.

As Xia Tingyu watched Dian Junming's retreating figure, something suddenly flashed through her mind, and she quickly caught up with him.

But at this time.
Dian Junming turned around and closed the hall door, but it wasn't completely closed yet.

Seeing Xia Tingyu rushing over, Dian Junming looked at her and said, "Your eyes are beautiful, just like your mother's."

boom!
After saying that, Dian Junming closed the door directly. "Remember, don't come out!"

Then he turned around and walked to the steps, looking down.

Wang Mang and Yao Zhi'en rode their horses into the Shu King's Palace, which was actually inside the palace gates. Their foot soldiers cleared the way, and there were many corpses on the ground.

His men were already lined up in front of the steps.

One person lowered their eyes.

The two looked up.

Six eyes met.

Dian Junming's lips twitched.

Yao Zhi'en, clad in bright silver armor and wielding a long spear, narrowed his eyes slightly: "So, just as you said at the beginning, Dian Junming will betray the two of us."

Wang Mang smiled softly, looked at Dian Junming, and murmured, "The mountain has trees, but the trees have no branches; I love you, but you do not know. Dian Wei, so you still miss the Queen Consort."

Yao's grace was directed at Wang Mang.

Wang Mang laughed and said, "They're feigning an alliance with us so they can bring their troops into Yizhou City right under our noses and then protect it."

At this point, Wang Mang changed his tune: "Protect the princess. But it's a pity, Dian Wei, I'm certainly no match for you in terms of martial prowess, but you're a bit lacking in intelligence. But it doesn't matter, just kill him. We're already here, aren't we?"

Yao Zhi'en frowned slightly, not quite understanding, but looking at Dian Junming at the top of the steps, he raised the tip of his spear slightly: "If you dare to be a traitor like Dian Junming, I will kill your whole family."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yao Zhi'en looked at the array of halberd-wielding wolf riders and charged straight at them.

Wang Mang watched the retreating figure of the silver-clad general, then looked up at Dian Junming, the ever-calm general, and drew his broadsword from the side of his horse: "I am not a sentimental fool like Dian Junming."

"kill!"

One word falls!

Right behind Wang Mang, the infantry charged forward bravely.

Among them, many people from the Western Regions can be seen.

On the steps, Dian Junming looked at Zhang Junyi and the hundred riders, and immediately knelt down on both knees: "I'll be your slave in my next life!"

After saying that, he kowtowed to Zhang Junyi and the others with a loud bang.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Junyi and the others immediately knelt down on one knee, but no one spoke.

Without further ado, Dian Junming turned to look down, and the instant he drew his two crescent halberds, he leaped up and plummeted down the steps towards the two armies that had already joined forces!
His eyes were fixed on Wang Mang, filled with murderous intent!
……

"I'll raise an army, and you'll act as my inside ally in the city. Young Master Yao, keep an eye on the old man, okay?"

……

"After I enter the city, I will go directly to the Prince's residence. You can come back after you have gathered your men."

……

Dian Junming looked at Wang Mang in front of him and inexplicably recalled the two sentences he had said to Wang Mang before.

But right now.
Fuck it!

boom!
Just as the two crescent halberds were about to fall and smash directly into Wang Mang,
Two Grandmasters at the pinnacle of cultivation suddenly appeared and stood in front of Wang Mang.

Wang Mang, somewhat flustered by the imposing presence, leaped off his horse and looked at Dian Junming, asking, "Worth it!?"

Dian Junming looked at the two figures before him and said, "Your Highness, you gave me a life. Tell me, was it worth it?"

Wang Mang gripped his long sword tightly: "Then you should kill Xia Fengye! He's the one who made the princess look like that! He's the one who ruined the princess!"

Dian Junming looked at Wang Mang, "But he is also Tingyu's father. If he dies, Tingyu will cry too."

Wang Mang gripped his sword tightly: "I thought you were like me! Dian Wei! So even if I saw through it, I pretended not to! But I didn't expect you to be such a fool! Since that's the case, you shall die! And I've already sent people to intercept your backup plan, those tens of thousands of troops on the border!"

Dian Junming withdrew his gaze and laughed: "Wang Mang, you stopped my army, but you didn't lose any men yourself? And where do you think Mr. Fang went!"

Wang Mang's expression froze.

But Dian Junming laughed and said, "Don't use the princess as an excuse. Your ambition is your ambition, and the princess is the princess. Besides, I won't let you make Tingyu cry! That girl's smile is the most beautiful!"

The words just fell!

Dian Junming unleashed his aura and shouted, "Brothers! I'll be your slave in my next life to pay off my debts!"

Upon hearing this, the wolf cavalry and tiger warriors looked even more closely at the general wielding two halberds, who was trapped in the encirclement and had ventured deep into enemy territory alone.

"kill!"

The single word was shouted from the mouths of all the wolf riders wielding halberds and the tiger warriors.

rebel!?
Our general would never lead us in a rebellion!

"Why aren't you making a move yet!?" Wang Mang looked outside the palace.

But he had only just opened his mouth.

However, what they saw was Qin Ya, An Xi, and seven or eight other Grandmasters who were now the only remaining members of the Fire Worship Cult and its tribes standing on the gate of the Prince's Mansion.

Their gazes all turned toward the main hall on the steps.

Wang Mang turned his head to look.

There were two people standing there.

Wu Qinhu.

Peach blossoms.

Yu Taohua looked at the people below and laughed, "I think I understand now. So they pretended to rebel in order to protect this area, but in reality, they just wanted to bring troops from the areas they controlled so as not to alert the enemy and then protect this area. Right?"

Wu Qinhu glanced at Yu Taohua. "Everyone else noticed it just now, and you noticed it now?"
Wu Qinhu was too lazy to say anything more. "We'll fight outside the city later. Those guys have already gone all out and are probably about to break through the Baihui acupoint. There are many people in the city, so we mustn't hurt them."

Yu Taohua stretched and said, "Ever since I left my wife and children, I've felt like I've been fighting all the time. You'll have to praise me a lot in front of the Empress later."

As she spoke, Yu Taohua looked down at the general, who was truly surrounded and fighting with twin halberds, and said, "He's a loyal and righteous man. But with these numbers, we're in trouble."

Looking around, Yu Taohua saw that the army opposite her numbered at least tens of thousands. Not to mention those inside the palace, the streets outside were also packed with people.

"Never mind, let's kill them first." Yu Taohua smiled gently.

The voice just fell
Yu Taohua took a step forward!
Qin Ya, An Xi, and the others were on high alert when Yu Tao Hua disappeared!

But the next moment!
Then they saw Yu Taohua appear in front of them without them even noticing, "Go fight outside the city, or you're a dog!"

……

Fight!

roar!

Weapons clashed!

All sorts of sounds could be heard clearly inside the main hall.

Everyone in the hall now understood.

Dian Junming is a good person.

The real rebel was Wang Mang, who had shown favor to Emperor Yao!

The details remained unclear to everyone, but listening to the commotion outside, they looked at each other in bewilderment.
Xia Tingyu wanted to leave!
But there at the entrance.
Zhang Junyi and his elite cavalry stood at the entrance, preventing Xia Tingyu and the others from leaving.

Even when facing Yan Yan, Zhang Junyi only said, "The general ordered that you are not allowed to leave unless you kill us."

Yan Yan gripped his knife, listening to the sounds of fighting outside.

Xia Tingyu looked at Zhang Junyi and said, "Everything here with Uncle Dian is fake!"

Zhang Junyi looked at Xia Tingyu: "Yes."

Xia Tingyu pressed further, "What about Master Yao, Li Ziyu, and the others?"

Zhang Junyi said, "The general said that Wang Mang is cunning and scheming. If he were to take action, these two would surely die. It would be better for him to play the villain. But right now, both of them are in a safe place. The old master wanted to cut off his own hand, but the general stopped him."

Xia Tingyu looked at Zhang Junyi, "Why didn't you say so sooner? If you had said so earlier..."

Zhang Junyi gripped the knife at his waist: "Because we can't stop them."

Xia Tingyu was stunned for a moment.

Zhang Junyi continued, "Moreover, the general does not want you to be in danger, because this time, Wang Mang really will kill people, and Yao Zhi'en really intends to force you to marry him."

After saying that, Zhang Junyi glanced at the King of Shu, "Wang Mang and Yao Zhi'en's troops, plus the Western Region troops that Yao Zhi'en secretly sent into Shu, can instantly gather 47,000 people in Yizhou City. If we alert them, they can quickly gather 20,000 people. This is what they prepared half a year ago. However, his and General Yan's troops are all outside, so this is the only way."

Fa Yuan looked at Zhang Junyi: "Forty-seven thousand people. This is the Second Prince. They used the Second Prince's methods to secretly send those Western Region people to the vicinity of the capital and hide them!"

Zhang Junyi did not answer.

Yan Yan, however, said, "Patrol Battalion."

Shen Yue disregarded all that and looked at Zhang Junyi: "And what about you guys?"

Zhang Junyi looked at Xia Tingyu, "Four thousand three hundred and seventy-six men followed the general into Yizhou City to protect Her Highness the Princess!"

Upon hearing this, the officials in the hall turned deathly pale.

Four thousand people against forty thousand people.
What's the difference between that and courting death?
Even if all the grandmasters in this hall were to leave, it would still be courting death!
Zhang Junyi looked at Xia Tingyu and said, "The general told us that you look beautiful when you smile, so he didn't want anyone to make you cry. This was something he promised the princess."

Xia Tingyu looked at Zhang Junyi, then subconsciously looked towards the door.

It's as if I can see the soldiers fighting.

You can see Dian Junming leading from the front.

Zhang Junyi's hand holding the knife was trembling. "The general also said that you shouldn't be afraid, that he was guarding outside the door, and that no one could hurt you."

Xia Tingyu's expression froze.

Memories inexplicably surfaced in my mind.

She was very young then, and had no one to rely on.

She had just arrived in Yizhou City, and on her very first day there, someone tried to kill her.

It was thanks to Dian Junming that he survived.

And that night.

Teenage Xia Tingyu, clutching a pillow, leaned against the doorframe, too afraid to sleep, and called out, "Uncle."

Outside the door, Dian Junming, who was also leaning against the gate with two large swords at his side, immediately smiled and said, "I'm here."

Little Xia Tingyu hummed in agreement.

Dian Junming laughed: "You brat, go to sleep. Your uncle is here, guarding the door. No one will dare to hurt you!"

Xia Tingyu hugged her pillow and huddled in front of the door, leaning against it, 'Hmm!'

Dian Junming glanced at the door behind him, gripped his knife tightly, his gaze softened, but the next moment, a murderous glint appeared in his eyes as he looked around, "Uncle has always been watching over you."

And now.
Tears welled up in Xia Tingyu's eyes as she listened to the sounds of battle outside. Four thousand against forty thousand—how could they possibly fight?
"I want to get out! We're not incapable of fighting! Don't stop me!" Xia Tingyu looked at Zhang Junyi.

Zhang Junyi spoke up: "The general ordered that you are not allowed to leave. Unless Mr. Fang returns, he said he will not allow anyone to approach this place. He will do what the general says!"

Xia Tingyu shook her head, completely unconcerned, and was about to skip over Zhang Junyi.

However, they were firmly blocked by Zhang Junyi and the other Tiger Warriors, each with a resolute expression.

Their brothers are fighting outside.

Their generals are fighting.

They wanted to get out more than anyone else!
But not!
Because the general gave the order!
Protect the princess!

Swish!
But it was also at this time.
An arrow pierced through the doors and windows of the main hall and embedded itself in a wooden pillar.

And the next moment!
The second one!
The third one!
In an instant, a rain of arrows pierced through the doors and windows.

"Use a table to block it!" Zhang Junyi said immediately upon seeing this.

At the same time, he pulled Xia Tingyu and ran quickly into the main hall.

弓箭
Forty thousand men were fighting against four thousand men, and they all used bows and arrows!
hum!
But just as everyone in the hall was dodging arrows, the old blind man gently raised his hand, making a move as if to place a piece.

In an instant, the rain of arrows was swatted away!

The old poison master looked at Zhang Junyi and said, "Open the door."

……

In the mountains not far outside Yizhou City.

Upon seeing Yizhou City, Lu Yuanzhi quickly looked at his martial uncle and said, "Martial Uncle, we've arrived!"

The two are not currently riding horses.

Because we needed to get somewhere quickly, we decided to abandon the horse and take the mountain path instead.

But in the end, even the wisest man can make a foolish mistake. Fang Wenhe overestimated his own physical strength and underestimated the difficulty of the Shu Road!
It took half a day to get there.

And now we see Yizhou City.

Fang Wenhe also smiled.

But the next moment...
Fang Wenhe's expression froze for a moment. He looked at the mountains and forests outside the city, then back into the city: "They've made their move!"

Having said that, without further ado, he shouted, "Yuanzhi, hurry! They've already made their move!"

Although Lu Yuanzhi was only at the ninth rank, he could sense that there were Grandmasters at the peak of cultivation fighting outside the city, and he could also smell the blood stench coming from inside the city. He immediately nodded.

But looking at Fang Wenhe, she said, "Uncle-Master, Junior Sister and Master."

Fang Wenhe shook his head: "It's alright. With Dian Junming here, and it seems that the old poison master and the others have arrived, everything will be fine!"

That being said, their foot speed increased considerably.

Lu Yuanzhi tried his best to follow, but when he thought of Dian Junming, he immediately asked, "When I was with General Zhu Huang and Lord Wen before, I heard General Zhu say that Dian Junming has a rebellious nature."

Fang Wenhe said, "I have only spoken to him three times in a real sense, but Yuanzhi, as they say, physiognomy is determined by man, not by fate! In this entire Shu region, anyone could rebel, but only Dian Junming would not!"

As they were talking, Fang Wenhe grabbed Lu Yuanzhi's shoulder, leaped down from the mountain, and sped towards Yizhou City.

The closer.

Fang Wenhe could clearly sense that Dian Junming was fighting, and that the old poison master had also joined the battle. Outside the city were Yu Taohua and Wu Qinhu.
Master!

They've taken action too!

But most importantly
The difference in numbers!

Fang Wenhe was faster, but he glanced at the direction of the official road out of the corner of his eye. Zhu Huang! You said you wouldn't arrive later than me by half a day at the latest!
I'm half a day late now!
Where are you!
Thinking this, Fang Wenhe's face showed anxiety.

Dian Junming!
We haven't even had the tea we agreed on yet!
……

Yizhou City more than ten years ago.

Fang Wenhe had only been at the Prince of Shu's residence for less than a year.

That rainy night, someone knocked on his door.

A raincoat on a rainy night.

But Fang Wenhe recognized the person at a glance.

Dian Wei, Dian Junming!

"Sir," Dian Junming bowed to Fang Wenhe, then looked into the room and said, "No one noticed I came."

Fang Wenhe found it strange, but invited Dian Junming in.

Dian Junming looked at Fang Wenhe and got straight to the point: "I'm bothering you so late at night, but I've come to ask if Tingyu has become your apprentice."

Fang Wenhe was taken aback, but since he had been found out, he simply nodded: "Yes."

Dian Junming looked at Fang Wenhe and immediately clasped his hands in a fist salute: "I can't stay in Yizhou City all the time. I sneaked in this time. Even the Prince doesn't know. But since you are Tingyu's master, please accept my bow. Please take good care of Tingyu."

They came suddenly and left in a hurry.

After saying this, Dian Junming left immediately.

It was as if they were afraid of being discovered by someone.

But in fact it is
The prince's men will find out.

This matter must not be discovered by the prince's men.

……

When they met for the second time, Fang Wenhe had already moved to a manor outside the city.

It was still night.

Dian Junming climbed over the wall and entered.

Upon seeing Fang Wenhe, Dian Junming clasped his hands in a bow and said, "Thank you, sir, for your many years of guidance to that girl Tingyu!"

Fang Wenhe looked at Dian Junming.

Among the five great generals of Shu, he was the most unruly and fiercest in battle.

The previous situation left Fang Wenhe completely bewildered.

So far
They were even more confused.

Fang Wenhe didn't waste any time and asked directly, "General, rest assured, no one noticed this time, so... could you tell me the reason for this?"

Dian Junming smiled and sat down directly opposite Fang Wenhe, saying, "There's no rush this time, but Mr. Fang, would you like to hear a story?"

Fang Wenhe nodded and looked at Dian Junming.

……

Outside Yizhou City, there are many villages where people are so poor that they sell their children.

One of the children's families had a father who died of illness, and the mother sold herself to raise money for her father's funeral.

But the child was left at home to live with his grandmother.

He usually makes a living by cutting grass and feeding cattle, sometimes going hungry and sometimes full, but he manages to survive.

Later, a wealthy young lady was traveling with other children, and that's how she met the children.

A person of the same age, eating a snack alone.

No one had ever seen that thing before, and didn't even know what it was called.

A young master saw the boy cutting grass and noticed his tattered clothes, so he decided to play with him.

But the child ignored him.

The young master got angry and immediately stepped forward to break the child's legs.

Unexpectedly, although the child ate little, he was very strong because he had been working all the time, and the young master was thrown out.

The young master was furious at being humiliated in public and immediately ordered his men to beat that lowly peasant to death!

The child picked up the stone and looked at the adults.

Fortunately, the wealthy young lady arrived in time. After learning what had happened, she scolded the young master and apologized to the child.

The child has seen the woman.

But this is the first time I've seen such a beautiful girl.

But he couldn't care less about that; the child was scared and picked up the bamboo basket to run away.

The rich heiress wanted to apologize, but the child had already run away. However, she also noticed that the child's clothes were torn and covered in patches.

The child didn't tell his grandmother about it, afraid that she would worry.

If you offend someone as important as that, you lose everything.

He's young, but he's seen a lot, so he understands a lot too.

After a night of trembling
The next morning, the child saw the young lady arrive in the village, accompanied by some people.

He was so frightened that he wanted to run away with his grandmother.

Unexpectedly, when they returned home, someone from the young lady's family had already arrived and was talking to her grandmother.

He was scared.

And then came the thousand-gold prize.

Although they were about the same age, the young lady looked at him and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here to apologize."

As he spoke, he had some things brought into the courtyard, then said loudly to him, "I won't leave you any money. Use these things if you can, and for the rest, I'll arrange with the pawnshops in town. They all bear the Chen family mark; you can pawn them for some money. What happened yesterday was my brother's fault for being ignorant. What's your name?"

'Dian Wei!'

Without saying much, Qianjin left, smiling at Dian Wei as she went, saying, "Smile more, and things will get better."

Relying on those things
The child and his grandmother's lives have improved; at least they can have a hot meal every day.

And no one in the village dared to bully them anymore.

later
When the child grew up, he understood that the rich girl deliberately spoke loudly for others to hear.

And he
They also learned that the person was the eldest daughter of the Chen family.

The child was strong from a young age. Later, he learned some martial arts from the hunters in the village and went to work as a guard for the Chen family.

But he wasn't selected.

But somehow he ended up in the patrol battalion.

Later, he went to the side of the King of Shu.

He thought to himself that he would never see that person again in this lifetime.

Unexpectedly, she was going to marry the prince.

He was genuinely happy because life would be even better after becoming a princess.

but
He noticed that the person in question never smiled.

Later, when they arrived in the capital, the prince asked him to stay by her side. He would often stare at her blankly, but he never smiled.

He asked around and found out what had happened.

but.
There was nothing he could do.

He wanted to suggest that they take her to find the scholar, and then they could run away together.

But she was pregnant.

The days passed by.

After having children, she started to smile, but only when she was with her children.

He just stared at her.

The prince failed and is going back.

He was left behind by the prince to protect the princess and the county princess.

Then one day...
The princess looked at him and said, "Dian Wei, take Tingyu out for a bit."

Dian Wei immediately clasped his hands in greeting, but the next moment, he looked at the princess.

Because his name is Dian Junming, everyone only knows him by that name.

Nobody knew his name was Dian Wei.

The princess looked at Dian Junming, puzzled. "What's wrong?"

Dian Junming asked cautiously, "You still remember me?"

The princess smiled and said, "Yes, I recognized it the moment I saw it."

Dian Junming looked at the princess, not knowing what to say. He just felt a strange feeling in his heart as he looked at this increasingly thin woman.

After Dian Junming finished telling his story.

Fang Wenhe didn't say much, but just watched as Dian Junming bowed.

……

This was our third meeting.

It was five months ago.

It was still night, and no one knew.

Dian Junming spoke up: "Sir, I have to do this! The King of Shu was so bewitched by Yao Xisheng that he even attempted to assassinate the Emperor! Is the Emperor capable of rebellion now?! I cannot let Tingyu be implicated by him! I would rather rebel and kill Xia Fengye, and have a bad reputation tarnished on me! I would rather be hated by Tingyu for the rest of my life for killing his father! I cannot let anything happen to Tingyu! I will not allow Tingyu's reputation to be tainted by Xia Fengye!"

Fang Wenhe looked at Dian Junming: "I said before that I would help you, General, protect Tingyu, and I still will."

Dian Junming looked at Fang Wenhe: "I have a worthless life, I lived for the Princess. The Princess is gone, but I live on for Tingyu. You can take it, sir!"

Fang Wenhe looked at Dian Junming and said, "We need to deal with not only Xia Fengye, but also Wang Mang and his group."
