What To Do if You’re the Villain and the Heroine Likes You

Chapter 20

He Yunxiao was taken aback when he saw Yang Zhe.

Who was Yang Zhe, he naturally knew.

It could be described like this, if there was no protagonist Chu Fan. This person, Yang Zhe, was the brightest star in the entire Yinjing City.

At the age of twenty-three, his martial arts cultivation was at the peak of the ninth grade.

He is only slightly inferior to the protagonist, Chu Fan, but he is still good enough to stand proudly over countless peers of his age. He has even crushed the villain He Yunxiao by many avenues.

He is ranked fifth on the Fenglou Qingyun Ranking, and he is ranked third among young Junior talents.

Of course, this is not counting Chu Fan and Chu Xiaoxiao, two outrageous existences.

Especially Chu Xiaoxiao, this woman was number one in the world at the age of sixteen, which was simply the biggest bug that existed in the novel.

He Yunxiao cursed in his heart that the author was retarded, how could he write such an outrageous setting, even if he started practicing martial arts from an embryo, he would not be able to be the number one in the world in 16 years!

But there was no way to justify it, because this was originally the world of the novel, and Chu Xiaoxiao, the bad witch, was so popular in the novel that she was basically a rival to the eldest princess, Meng Qingqian.

Thinking of Meng Qingqian., He Yunxiao sat on the carriage and turned his gaze back to Yang Zhe.

Yang Zhe was not wearing the armor of the Imperial Army, but was dressed in civilian clothes.

His years of martial arts practice and his confidence as a martial arts genius made him look heroic.

In terms of appearance alone, in the whole of Yinjing City, apart from He Yunxiao, who dared to say that he was head and shoulders above Yang Zhe, no one else had such confidence.

The carriage slowly left the Spring Breeze Mansion. He Yunxiao sat in the carriage and saw Yang Zhe dive headlong into the Spring Breeze Mansion.

Strange, why did Yang Zhe come to the Spring Breeze Mansion instead of honestly following Meng Qingqian.?

He Yunxiao lowered the curtains in the sedan chair, clasped his hands to his chest, and raised his eyebrows in thought.

Yang Zhe was born into the Yang Clan of Hexi, a prestigious clan in the northwest. The Yang family was one of the best, having produced many warlike generals, and even in the Jianghu area, the Yang clan had considerable influence.

What is even more valuable is that, over the years, the imperial court has placed an emphasis on literature rather than martial arts, and the Yang family has made a decisive transition, relying on imperial examinations and producing many important civil officials. For example, Yang Xingguang, a second-ranking official in the Ministry of Works, was Yang Zhes brother.

Yang Zhe himself was even more impressive, winning both the literary and martial arts titles in the last examination, which was a rarity in the entire history of Qi.

He was a rare person in the history of Qi. Originally, Chancellor Han Wenxin wanted to draw him in and offered him a third-ranking general. but Yang Zhe did not hesitate to join the Princess and became a fourth-ranking commander of the forbidden army.

The difference between a third-ranking general and a fourth-ranking commander of the forbidden army is only one rank, but the difference is vast.

The General had real military power and could build a private army of 50,000, and could mobilize up to 200,000 court troops in times of war. The most important thing is that the General and the Grand General are military posts, although they are the same as the Commander of the Imperial Army. But generals were allowed to lead troops into battle.

It was only when they fought that they could be promoted.

The total number of soldiers in the Imperial Palace was only 20,000, and the Grand Commander and several other commanders were divided into 3,000 soldiers and horses each.

Most importantly, the Imperial Army had no opportunity to fight and their daily task was to watch the gates open.

The other people thought that Yang Zhe had lost his head and was a small commander watching the gate instead of a big official.

But He Yunxiao, who had read the novel, knew exactly what he was doing. It was clear that he had gone for the eldest princess, Meng Qingqian, from the very beginning.

According to the power of the Yang clan in Hexi, and Yang Zhes own talent and potential, he would be more than capable of marrying a princess. But the current emperor is only eleven years old, not to mention a princess, and there is no empress.

The princesses of the previous dynasty, as we all understand, were the eldest princess Meng Qingqian, written as eldest princess and read as female emperor. The entire Meng royal family, together with the Li family, a prestigious family in the south of the Yangtze River, relied on her to fight with Prime Minister Han to keep the kingdom intact. At a time like this, she would never be married off to the west of the river.

The more difficult it is, the more Yang Zhe is interested.

This is not to blame Yang Zhe, he is a famous young and handsome talent in Qi, his literary and martial arts skills, clothing and appearance are all first class, and his family background is extraordinary, belonging to a high family name. If the emperor is in power in the future, and the princess retires to the background, who can marry Meng Qingqian at that time, he is really one of them.

He was on call to give advice, to reward his subordinates from his own pocket, and even openly recruited dead soldiers for the Princess in the Imperial Army.

The two years of repeatedly tossing and turning down, the entire Qi court. Yang Zhes love for the eldest princess is well known.

In the words of He Yunxiao, this Yang Zhe is also an old leche.

The crux of the matter is this: what is he doing at the Spring Wind Mansion?

If he had an affair with a woman from the brothel, there would be no more chance for the immaculate princess to be with him.

Youve slept with a flower girl and you want to sleep with a princess? Dont even think about it.

Yang Zhe, as the Scholar of Literature and Martial Arts, certainly knew this, and he was not a fool.

Unless

The bumpy rocking of the carriage didnt disrupt He Yunxiaos thoughts.

He tapped his head!

Unless the girl Yang Zhe is looking for is Du Yinyun!

It all came together when he thought about it like that!

The reason the Eldest Princess had protected Chu Fan after he had killed He Yunxiao and when He Yuanhao wanted to move him was that apart from considering checking the power of Prime Minister Han, there was also the expectation of the martial arts genius Chu Fan.

When the former emperor died and ordered the empress and the prime minister to support the state, the two were somewhat equal in power. But after the current Empress Dowagers tumult, when she passed on her power to the eldest princess, Meng Qingqian, the Empress Dowagers side was much weaker than that of the Prime Minister.

The greatest weakness was military power.

Almost all the generals of the court, except for a few, were on the side of the Prime Minister, including He Yunxiaos father, He Yuanhao.

Over the years, the eldest princess has been able to secure the military power of the imperial city with Yang Zhe, but she still lacks power regarding external military power. She was absolutely vulnerable.

But the emergence of a genius such as Chu Fan made up for it. With such martial talent, if he were to join the military, it was entirely possible for him to become a great general within a few years.

If the Eldest Princess could get Chu Fan to stabilize external military power, then she would be able to turn her disadvantage into an advantage in the struggle against Prime Minister Han.

That is why, when Chu Fan killed He Yunxiao, the Princess spared no effort to protect him.

If one wanted to control military power, apart from supporting the generals themselves, collecting old troops was also a good way to do so.

Back then, when Chu Tianzhu was killed, the Chu family army was scattered, and dispersed into various ranks, but even so, the old Chu family army still maintained frequent contact with each other.

The three great generals of the Chu Family Army, with Chu Tianzhu gone and Fan Yu retired, Du Lie was naturally the only head of the Chu Family Army.

Now that Du Lie was also gone, Du Yinyun, Du Lies daughter, was the best connection between the various departments of the Chu Family Army.

Through a series of deductions, He Yunxiao figured out Yang Zhes motive for coming to Spring Breeze Mansion, but he didnt care what methods Yang Zhe and Meng Qingqian used to regain power.

In a word, hitting on my woman is a no-no!

He Yunxiao lifted the curtain and said to the coachman, Go back! Someone is trying to steal the wife from Laozi! (Notes: Laozi~ Means Master)
