The Villain Becomes The White Moonlight

Qi Zi, a master of yin and yang, is a hermit who lives in the mountains all year round.If it weren't for the queen who accidentally met him when she was young, even the former royal family, he would not bother to do astrology and divination.

This is the first time in several years that the eldest princess went to the place where Qi Zi lived in seclusion to pray for the country instead of the queen.In order to reach the destination as soon as possible, Du Yan only brought more than a hundred guards, pretending to be merchants, and set off from the capital with light vehicles.

Although Cheng Yu is Cheng Yu's protégé, normally he is not allowed to step out of the capital of his original country, but Du Yan has always been an unreasonable and bullying character, and he made it clear that Cheng Yu would accompany him to serve him.

Yuan Wang also wanted to appease the Wu family more recently, so as to avoid accidents when the general was recalled, and with more than a hundred guards guarding him, Cheng Guo's proton alone could not cause any trouble.

Now five days have passed, and there are about two more days to go before arriving at the destination.

Sitting on the carriage, Du Yan felt that the speed suddenly slowed down a lot, and there was a faint sound of gurgling water.

He guessed in his heart that he should have arrived at the planned location, so he opened the partition on the side window and looked out.

The centurion was riding his horse to protect the side of the carriage. Seeing Du Yan lift the curtain, he bent slightly and said, "Eldest princess, this place is not in the capital city, please don't look around at will."

After all, without giving Du Yan any face, he reached out and closed the side window of the carriage.

"Where is the reckless man, when I go back, I want you to look good!"

An angry scolding sound came from inside the carriage, and the guards outside all stared straight away, they were used to the eldest princess's domineering behavior.

In fact, in the carriage, Du Yan's expression was calm and composed. He bent down slightly, picked up the note that the centurion had thrown into the carriage just now, and opened it to examine it.

"There are a hundred guards, more than ten of them are Yuan Jue's subordinates. At that time, the subordinates will try to move the guards around the carriage to make it easier for him to do it."

Earlier, Du Yan's eyeliner next to Yuan Jue had informed Mrs. Tong Hui of his plan, and they planned to do it here when they returned.

Yuan Jue sent someone to send a message to the local bandits, saying that in a few days later, a merchant would pass by, and the merchant would bring valuable goods.Just relying on the mob here alone, it is natural that these elite soldiers and strong generals cannot be dealt with.

All Yuan Jue needed was for these bandits to cause a commotion, and then the people he placed in the guard would take the opportunity to startle the eldest princess's horse.The carriage was frightened, or fell into a deep ravine, and his life and death were unknown, or fell out of the carriage, and he was either dead or disabled.

No matter what the consequences are, Yuan Jue feels that he has let out a bad breath, and the Wu family can only vent their anger on these bandits if they want to pursue it.

Relying on Yuan Jue's scheming, he couldn't think of such a plan to kill someone with a borrowed knife.All of this was Du Yan's handwriting, and it was all sent to Yuan Jue through the eyeliner he buried.

Worshiping the heavens and praying for blessings is related to the fate of the country. Even idiots like Yuan Jue know that they can't make mistakes, so they arrange the time to do it on the return journey.

The terrain here is narrow, with high cliffs on the left and deep streams on the right, which is the favorite place for bandits to set up ambush.

While Du Yan was thinking, he heard a soft knock on the door of the carriage.

He opened a gap and saw Cheng Yu who was sitting in front of the car, and looked back: "Princess, do you feel bored?"

Du Yan glanced at him: "What do you think? I was stuck in this narrow compartment for five days, unlike you who can still see the scenery on the road."

Cheng Yu lowered his voice and said, "I have prepared for it. There is something under the hidden compartment of the seat."

Going out this time is to worship the heaven and earth and pray for the blessings of the original country. Naturally, we must maintain sincerity and put an end to pleasure.Therefore, there is nothing long to go with you except for the necessary food and grass for the sacrifices to heaven and the clothes you carry with you.

Du Yan is also the honor of the princess, for the sake of safety, except when setting up camp, he can't ride on horseback.Even if Du Yan wasn't impatient, he still felt panicked.

He closed the door, reached out to the hidden compartment under the seat, and found a small wooden box with exquisite carvings. After opening it, there were some preserved fruits and a few books.

Looking at the books in his hands to pass the time, Du Yan suddenly felt a little melancholy. Cheng Yu had been with him for such a long time, and Cheng Yu was very fond of him.

Right now, we are going to part with Cheng Yu, and we may be enemies when we meet again in the future. Du Yan thinks about it and feels that he may still be a little uncomfortable.

It's just that Cheng Yu is an emperor who wants to rule the world, so how can he be a servant all the time.Maybe in the future, when he thinks about this experience, he would like to stab himself, the instigator, with a sword.

Du Yan picked up the preserved fruit, put it in his mouth, and sighed in his heart: "Eating a meal is really not easy."

A few days later, a group of people arrived at the place where Qi Zi lived in seclusion.

All the guards brought by the eldest princess were stationed outside the valley, and only the eldest princess was allowed to enter.

Du Yan burned incense and bathed in the camp, and after changing into the most solemn dress, he walked out of the tent slowly.

The eldest princess is always active and doesn't like accessories, and her clothes are always simple and light. This is the first time Cheng Yu has seen him do such a grand dress.

Solemn black brocade robe, red trim, red silk thread embroidered with the dark pattern of a hundred birds facing the phoenix, her black hair was just tied up with a jade hairpin.

Except for the jade hairpin and the miscellaneous pendants around the waist, there is no gold or silver thing.Qi Zi is a person who transcends the common world, and when he enters his residence, he cannot wear gold and silver or other vulgar things.

Looking at his back, Cheng Yu suddenly had an illusion in his heart that the person in front of him seemed to be going to an unknown place and never returning.

This sense of panic that the other party was about to lose control made him take a sudden step forward and stop in front of Du Yan.

Du Yan was not used to the grand court clothes, layer after layer, which made his shoulders hurt a little, and he couldn't walk a little bit.

He was concentrating on the situation under his feet, so as not to accidentally trip over the hem of the skirt or debris on the road, when his eyes were suddenly covered by black shadows.

Du Yan looked up and saw Cheng Yu standing in front of him with an unpredictable expression, looking over intently.

He thought that the other party had something to say, so he waited for a while, but he saw Cheng Yu just stared at him blankly, without saying a word.

Du Yan frowned slightly: "Cheng Yu, how are you doing?"

Cheng Yu seemed to have just recovered, and said, "Princess, be careful on the road."

"Whispering." Du Yan glanced at him and continued on his way.

Du Yan walked all the way into the valley, and suddenly became enlightened after a while.In the valley, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and the stream is gurgling, like a place outside the square.

Above the central open space, there is a tall stone altar.Beside the stream is a simple bamboo house, in which the sound of piano curls out.

Du Yan stood quietly outside the bamboo house, did not make a sound, but quietly listened to the sound of the piano.

After a while, the song ended, and an old voice came from inside the bamboo house.

"But Young Master Yan?"

"Yes." Du Yan saluted.

The door of the bamboo house opened with a creak, and an old man in gray robe came out from it.

After a little preparation, the two boarded the observatory and began the long ceremony of offering sacrifices to the sky.The ceremony came to an end when the night was getting dark and the stars had all ascended to the sky.

Du Yan's shoulders were sore from the weight of the heavy dress on his body, and he felt in his heart that it was a good thing that the queen was a general's daughter, and she also practiced martial arts when she was not married.Otherwise, after the end of this long sacrifice ceremony, I am afraid that I will be sick for a few days.

Tonight is the night of the new moon, the moon is dim and the stars are shining, which is the best night for stargazing.

The old man knelt on the altar, looked up, and held a bone carving knife in his hand.

"The emperor's star is gradually brightening, and it has reached the mid-heaven, and the world will unite."

Both the queen and Qi Zi thought that the emperor star was Du Yan, and because of the former king's suspicion, they could only show others as a woman, so it was unclear.Now is the time to act, to restore the identity of the original prince, and only then will there be signs of the emperor's star becoming brighter.

However, Du Yan knew that this Emperor Star was referring to Cheng Yu, the hostage of Chengguo, and it was unclear before that because he was a hostage in Yuanguo and suffered all kinds of setbacks.Now that he is about to return to Chengguo to ascend the throne and embark on a journey to unify the world, it is gradually becoming clear.

"The old man made a new discovery a few days ago. A companion star suddenly appeared next to the Emperor Star, and its brilliance is enough to compete with the Emperor Star."

Du Yan said: "Is this companion star assisting the emperor star or competing with the emperor star for the star of the world?"

The turtle shell used for divination has been baked for a long time before, and it is covered with cracks.Qi Zi picked up the tortoise shell, looked at it carefully for a long time, and then said: "Two stars are competing for glory, the situation in the world is unclear. I hope you should pay attention to this matter after you return to the capital."

After finishing speaking, he raised his hand and used a carving knife to inscribe the words of divination on the shell of the turtle, and handed it to Du Yan.

Naturally, this piece of tortoise shell would not be seen by the original king.Before Du Yan set off, he had already prepared a forged tortoise shell to deal with the original king.

He bid farewell to Qi Zi and returned directly along the same road.

In the early morning of the next day, Du Yan left with a group of people and returned to the capital.

Two days later, the team went to the dangerous road on the mountainside again. Du Yan casually flipped through the books in his hand, waiting for the bandits to appear.

Halfway through the journey, the carriage stopped.

Du Yan pushed open the door and called out, "What's the matter?"

The centurion rode forward and replied, "The road ahead is blocked by fallen trees. Please wait a moment, princess."

The eyes of the two met, and Du Yan nodded slightly, signaling the centurion to act according to plan.

"Go and have a look, don't delay the trip."

"Promise." The centurion cupped his hands and left as promised.

Du Yan thought for a while, and then instructed: "Cheng Yu, I'm a little uneasy, don't leave the carriage."

Cheng Yu promised that the current situation is unclear, and he did not intend to leave the princess half a step.

Just a moment after the centurion left, rocks rolled down from a side cliff.

The team escorting the eldest princess are all experienced people, and they also know that the terrain here is dangerous, so they did not walk close to the cliff.Therefore, the falling rocks only scattered the neat team, and did not cause much loss.

Those who ambush were only using falling stones to create momentum.Their purpose is to rob money, if a falling stone destroys the property, then they will return in vain.

So just after a wave of falling rocks, a figure appeared on the top of the mountain, shouting and rushing down.

According to the information obtained by the bandit, this is just an ordinary caravan, even if it has some guards, it will not be too many.These bandits thought that after this wave of falling rocks threatened, the people in the caravan would obediently hand over their belongings.

They never thought of those ordinary-dressed caravans. They all drew their weapons and adjusted their formation extremely quickly to prepare for the battle.

It's just that the matter has come to this point, and the bandit has no choice but to bite the bullet and fight.

Naturally, these mobs are no match for well-trained soldiers, but they have already subdued most of them in a short time, leaving only a few stubbornly resisting.

Just when the battle gradually subsided, a arrow flew out from the scuffle, and happened to be right in the middle of the horse that was pulling the princess Che Yu, who was surrounded by a group of guards.

The arrow was not going fast, and the horse was not seriously injured, but it was frightened.The horse neighed and galloped uncontrollably along the road.
