I'm full of rebellion against fate

Chapter 185 New forces

Just as the two princes were fighting each other, trouble struck the north of the dynasty. A powerful Jie tribe army suddenly marched south, plundering and looting. The dynasty's army was defeated! The general was killed by the enemy, and there was no general to replace him.

Who to send to lead the troops to fight has become a very headache issue in the court. Crown Prince Xuanyuan Feng did not think that he would be sent to fight, so he looked at Xuanyuan Pu.

If the other party was a petty thief, Xuanyuan Pu would still like to show his courage to his father, but if the other party was a powerful Jie tribe, he would not dare to risk his head.

Just when the court was in complete silence, the always cynical Xuanyuan Jun stood up and said, "Father, the country is in danger. As the prince, I am willing to lead the troops to fight!"

The emperor looked at Xuanyuan Jun, who was full of righteousness, and suddenly realized that he had not really known this son in depth.

Xuanyuan Jun was actually nervous, but he was not completely unprepared. Jin Xiaotian would bring his men to fight against the Jie tribe with him, and what would happen after that would be up to fate!

At the beginning, Xuanyuan Jun and his men were beaten and fled everywhere by the Jie tribe after they arrived at the battlefield, but luckily Chang Ningchen arrived in time, and then crushed them with cannons and grenades. Later, the Jie tribe kept running north and disappeared without a trace.

Jin Xiaotian is the son of General Jin. He and Xuanyuan Jun have been playmates since childhood. Unfortunately, he disappeared in a battle against foreign invaders. Everyone believed that he had died on the battlefield.

Chang Ningchen returned to everyone's attention by using the excuse that he survived a disaster, met a god, made a magic weapon, and then gathered a large number of followers.

Although this matter cannot be verified, Jin Xiaotian is really powerful. It didn't take long for him to defeat the invincible Jie army and force them to flee in panic. Just looking at this strength, if he doesn't absorb it himself, it will be a huge threat to others!

The emperor was very happy when Jin Xiaotian and Xuanyuan Jun returned from the battlefield together, and he appointed him as a general.

This battle also changed everyone's impression of Xuanyuan Jun, from a romantic and unruly prince to a good prince who was loyal to the country.

Chang Ningchen, who had returned to the court to be conferred the title, received a system connection prompt as soon as he stepped into the main hall of the imperial palace.

"Z--the system has been connected and is starting up..."

Soon the system screamed, "Ahhhhh! You actually entered a main-chasing story?! And the protagonist is gentle, devoted, mature, and powerful, a peerless hero?!"

No wonder I'm so calm, smart, and powerful in this world. Turns out I'm following the main storyline. Wait, why does this feel so wrong?!

Chang Ningchen heard the system's words and asked, "Can the peerless fierce number one still be abused?"

Stop struggling, you're just a bottom. The system replied: "The more devoted you are, the more abuse you'll suffer. After all, the protagonist's lover is the king of a country, and it's impossible for him to openly be in love with the protagonist and grow old together. In addition, the emperor must marry an empress and take concubines in order to have children. Emperors are very suspicious and will gradually lose trust in even their lovers, so this story is very abusive!"

Chang Ningchen nodded. Fortunately, he didn’t like Xuanyuan Jun very much, and his wife was Dongfang He, so he didn’t have to worry about these things!

The system checked the plot and found that Chang Ningchen's main task was to have a third party interfere in his relationship with Xuanyuan Jun. The completion rate reached 80%.

It seems that Chang Ningchen completed the task very well even without the assistance of the system plot!

Chang Ningchen stood in the court with a handsome appearance to accept the reward. The emperor was very happy to see this tall and handsome man. He wanted to win him over, so he asked him what reward he wanted.

What do I want? If I tell you, I'm afraid you'll scold me! Chang Ningchen frowned and said, "I'm afraid that if I tell you the reward I want, His Majesty will be angry."

The emperor was very happy. He stroked his beard and said, "My dear minister, please feel free to speak. I promise I won't be angry."

Chang Ningchen took a breath and said, "Your Majesty, I don't like gold, silver, or money. I only like beautiful women."

Isn't this normal? Everyone looked at Jin Xiaotian in confusion. Isn't the story of a beautiful hero a timeless tale?! Thinking of this, everyone was eager to try. They already had a daughter and a sister who weren't married yet! If His Majesty granted them a marriage, they would be so successful!

The emperor didn't hear anything wrong. He touched his beard with a confused look on his face and then saw Jin Xiaotian looking at Xuanyuan Jun, and Xuanyuan Jun looked at Jin Xiaotian excitedly.

Wait… He said beauty, but didn’t say whether it was a man or a woman?! Could it be that he likes the Fifth Prince?! The Emperor frowned and said, “My dear, you are still unmarried. If you find someone you like, I will grant you a marriage, but it is limited to unmarried people in the palace.”

The emperor has given Jin Xiaotian a scope. His princes have all married and had children. Jin Xiaotian must not set his sights on them!

Chang Ningchen knew that the emperor had understood what he meant, so he immediately thanked him and returned to the general's mansion given to him by the emperor. The door of his mansion was crowded with matchmakers, and the table in the main hall was already filled with portraits. Chang Ningchen felt that some people acted really quickly!

Dongfang He calculated that he would have a day off tomorrow and would return to the yard tonight. He dressed up as a cook and slipped out the back door.

After Chang Ningchen returned to Dongfang He's yard, he started cooking. When Dongfang He came back, he had just prepared a table full of dishes.

Dongfang He saw Chang Ningchen cooking for him, and he asked with a bit of amusement: "General Jin, you are a cook in the home of an insignificant little reviewer. What are you up to?"

Chang Ningchen said calmly, "Didn't I sign a five-year contract? I've already received my wages, and then someone finds out and accuses me of breaking my promise. How bad would that be?"

Dongfang He felt that this matter was not that simple, but seeing that Chang Ningchen was fighting enemies outside and now cooking for him, he was still very touched, so the two of them sat down together to have dinner.

Chang Ningchen looked at the moon outside the door and said, "Ah, the calligraphy in this world is very beautiful, right? I want to ask for a painting to hang in my study."

Dongfang He frowned and said, "As a general, you should just hang a sword in your study. Why do you need to write anything?" Although he was nagging, he still stood up and took a pen and paper.

Chang Ningchen was grinding on the side, then thought for a moment and said, "I just like the line: 'In the sky, I wish to be a pair of wings, on the ground, I wish to be a pair of branches. Remember to sign it! And a personal seal!"

Dongfang He blushed a little as he wrote, "These are love words. As a general, don't you feel awkward hanging them in your study?"

Chang Ningchen said happily: "This is Ah He's handwriting! Consider it a gift to celebrate my promotion and salary increase!"

Dongfang He finished writing quickly, and Chang Ningchen picked it up before the ink was dry. He put it aside carefully and then put it away carefully again after it dried.

The man looked at Chang Ningchen being so cautious, and he found it funny but also felt warm in his heart.

As a new force in the court, Chang Ningchen became the object of competition between the other two princes, and Xuanyuan Jun also became the object of their wooing. The struggle between the two princes reached a white-hot stage.
