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

Chapter 21: Don't even think about it

After leaving Li Jins place, Qian Yuan rushed to the palace barracks.

With the token in hand, Qian Yuan successfully met Yang Zhe, a twenty-three-year-old commander of the Imperial Army, who was well known throughout Yinjing.

Commander Yang, Prince Li Jin has asked you to go to the Spring Breeze Mansion with him.

Qian Yuan respectfully handed over Li Jins token.

Yang Zhe was wearing the armor of the Imperial Army, and his handsome face was imposing and heroic.

He took the token and saw that it was indeed Li Jins.

However, when he heard the words Spring Wind Mansion, he looked displeased.

This fool! Dont you think that your aunts father, me, is someone who goes to the Spring Breeze Mansion?

Li Jins aunt was the husband of the Princess, and this was a crime of disrespect. Although everyone knew that Yang Zhe was fond of the Princess, this was a matter of unspoken opinion, and must not be discussed in the open.

Even Yang Zhe himself only dared to think about it in his heart, and at ordinary times, he did not even dare to get too close to the Princess surroundings, lest he cause misunderstanding and resentment.

Seeing Yang Zhes face showing displeasure, Qian Yuan did not think deeper and only said, Does Commander Yang think that this token is fake?

Yang Zhe gave a cold snort of disdain and threw the token back at Qian Yuan.

This token was given to Li Jin by the Princess herself. How can it be fake? Or do you think that this commanders eyes are not good enough to distinguish between the real and the fake?

Yang Zhes oppressive spirit was no joke, and with his armor and ninth-grade cultivation, even a simple question caused Qian Yuan to break out in cold sweat on the spot.

Qian Yuan said, I dont dare. Its just that

Qian Yuan explained to Yang Zhe that he could use He Yunxiaos shoulder rubbing for a dancer in a Brothel to weaken the Wuqing General He Yuanhao, and by extension, the Prime Ministers power.

Of course, Yang Zhe knew this, but it was enough that Li Jin was there to do it. He didnt want to hang out with a brainless, dependent second generation like Li Jin.

If this person was not the cousin of the Princess, Yang Zhe would not even have bothered with this person.

There is a deeper reason why Yang Zhe must clean his image clean, otherwise he would not have any chance of getting his hands on the Princess.

But Qian Yuan obviously didnt think of this, nor did Li Jin, the second generation, and Yang Zhe himself couldnt say anything.

So, Yang Zhe said, Do you think this commander cant think of a way to use He Yunxiao to make an issue? Li Jin cant do such a small thing on his own? Do you need me to look into it?

With just these three words, Qian Yuan felt the terror of Yang Zhe, and he finally understood why Li Jin must ask Yang Zhe to see My Lords style of supporting the righteous way.

I guess Li must have been bullied by Yang Zhe a lot, right?

However, Qian Yuan was after all a retainer of the Minister of Rites and was still acting in favor of his own son.

Thinking about it, Qian Yuan said, Does your lord know General Du Lie?

Du Lie was convicted of treason, but the case file was unclear as to why he was treasonous.

In fact, Du Lies loyalty was known to everyone, from the court down to the common people. But after the death of General Du Lie and his beheading, few people would speak of him.

Of course, these people did not include former members of the Chu army or those who had received favors from Du Lie.

The most notable achievement of the Chu army was to drive the Northern Yan army back to the north of the Nioshan Mountains and to recover the lost territories in the western part of the river.

Qian Yuan thought to himself: since Yang Zhe was from a large clan in western Hexi, there was no reason why he would not come into contact with the Chu army.

As expected, Yang Zhe sighed and said, Back then, the two generals, Du Fan, taught me swordsmanship.

Qian Yuan was delighted and immediately said, Du Yinyun, the daughter of General Du Lie, is making her debut at the Spring Breeze Mansion today.

The three words Du Yinyun were like a stone falling into the pool of Yang Zhes memories, causing a ripple.

Five years ago, Yang Zhe was eighteen years old. In that year, his martial arts cultivation had reached the eighth rank, and he had entered the Qingyun ranking for the first time. And with his handsome appearance, all the girls in the western part of the country regarded him as the man of their dreams.

Whenever he went out, he rode his steed down the street. Often many unmarried girls stopping to look at him. Yang Zhe had long been accustomed to seeing such scenes surrounded by hundreds of flowers.

Until his father took him to Yinjing to meet an old friend.

In that year, Du Yinyun was only thirteen years old, and it was not long before the name Yinjing Spring Orchid had spread throughout Yinjing.

When Yang Zhe was at Dus house, he was amazed at the appearance of Du Yinyun.

At the age of thirteen, her beautiful face had already blossomed, and with her indifferent nature and outstanding temperament, she looked like a fairy who had stepped out of a painting.

More importantly, Du Yinyun was not interested in Yang Zhe at all. Whether it was his previously unbeatable handsome looks, his superb martial arts talent, or his belly full of ink and articles. (Notes: Means, even when flattered with poetry or whatnot, she remained indifferent.)

This kind of indifference, in turn, stimulated Yang Zhes liking for Du Yinyun even more.

Even when he was about to leave Yinjing, he went to beg his father to ask General Du for his hand in marriage.

Du Lie did not refuse outright. He only said that he would see him when Yinyun was older.

After Yang Zhe returned to the western part of the country, when he was exposed to all kinds of beautiful women throwing themselves at him, he subconsciously compared them to Du Yinyun, and the result was boredom.

After thinking about it day and night and waiting for it, he didnt expect to wait for Du Lies consent, but for the Du family to have an accident.

After the Du familys accident, Yang Zhe did not stop thinking about it. He asked around, and some said that Du Yinyun had killed herself. Some said that Du Yinyun was imprisoned, and some said that Du Yinyun was being held in the Department of Education

It was only at this point that Yang Zhe gave up completely.

It was not until he took part in the examinations and saw Meng Qingqian on the Phoenix carriage that the love that had been extinguished at the bottom of his heart began to burn again.

Now, Qian Yuans words, Du Yinyun and Spring Breeze Mansion together, immediately caused Yang Zhes face to grimace.

He grabbed Qian Yuans collar and shouted, Youre talking nonsense!

Qian Yuan did not expect such a strong reaction from the commander, so he immediately explained, Commander Yang, why would I lie to you? Originally, the Du family was in ruins and Du Yinyun was taken to the Ministry of Education to kill herself. At that time, Du Lie had just died and no one wanted to touch the imperial courts brow. Those who could save Du Yinyun did not want to do so, and those who wanted to did not have the means to do so. Later on, I dont know what kind of source the owner of Spring Wind Mansion used, but he surprisingly bought her out of the Department of Education and Training.

It was three years ago, and its normal for Commander Yang to not know since it was only two years ago that he came to Yinjing. Even if they were from Yinjing, if someone wasnt particularly concerned, they wouldnt even know about such things.

Yang Zhe continued to ask, What happened after that!

There was no news after that, it was said that she was locked up in study music, then not long ago the Spring Breeze Mansion let it out that there was a new girl, Du Yinyun. Only, Du Yinyun disappeared for almost three years, and fewer people cared about her.

Yang Zhe let go of Qian Yuans collar, and tossed him aside, turning to shout angrily, Prepare the horses!

Dressed in civilian clothes, Yang Zhe rode his steed and galloped through the nighttime streets of Yinjing City.

The cold wind blew constantly on his face, calming his excited mood slightly.

It was an impulsive decision to go to Yinjing City to look for Du Yinyun, but at that moment, Yang Zhe was no longer able to calm down.

When he thought of Du Yinyuns cool and outstanding appearance, it was like a fire burning in his heart.

That indifferent and cool girl was the woman who almost became his fiance.

At the beginning, she was the daughter of a general, and he was the son of a prestigious family, and the two were a good match.

Now, one was a girl from a brothel, and the other was a commander of the forbidden army.

Yang Zhe, who had calmed down, had already seen the end of the Du Yinyun affair. The reason Du Yinyun had been bought out of the Department of Education by someone else was likely the old ministry left over from the Chu Tianzhu incident ten years ago, operating in secret.

After Chu Tianzhus death, Fan Yu retired and the upright Du Lie was the head of all the Chu family forces.

So even though Du Lie was only a fourth-ranking general, he could still be right in line with the second-ranking He Yuanhao.

Yang Zhe, on horseback, had already found a good reason for his visit to the Spring Wind Mansion.

For the sake of the Princess, he wanted to bring in the old members of the Chu family army.

Of course, only he himself knew that his actual purpose was to take this relic of the Du family into his possession.

A bunch of trash dudes wanting to touch my Yang Zhes woman? Dont even think about it!
