Before Cheng Qianye traveled through time, she had a twin brother. The two siblings had a very good relationship since they were young, and grew up playing and fighting every day.
One of Cheng Qianye’s favorite pranks as a child was to dress up as his brother, imitate his brother’s words and actions, and sneak out of the house impersonating his brother.
For this reason, she deliberately kept the same neutral hairstyle as her brother Cheng Qianluo.
Whenever those friends who mistook her for Cheng Qianluo and were having fun with her saw the real Cheng Qianluo coming towards them with jaw-dropped expressions, Cheng Qianye would hold her stomach and laugh from ear to ear.
Therefore, when she traveled through time, Cheng Qianye thought it would not be too difficult to let her disguise as a man and pretend to be her twin brother who was poisoned to death, and take his place as Duke Yue of Jin.
But she overlooked one thing: she crossed the era, an era full of war and killing.
Before Cheng Qianye traveled through time, the nomadic people Quanrong in the northwest of this area broke through the capital, killed the nominal emperor, and the powerful tribal cavalry killed their way into the interior all the way to Bianzhou.
As a result, the whole country was in chaos, and many heroes emerged, claiming to support the royal family and expel the Tartars. In fact, everyone wanted to take advantage of the war to expand their own power.
Li Wenguang, the governor of Liangzhou, issued a manifesto to attack the Quanrong tribe. All the princes responded by leading their civil officials and military generals to gather together.
Marquis Yue of Jin had just succeeded his father and was full of energy and ambition. Seeing such a good opportunity, he led his generals and troops and hurried to the alliance meeting excitedly, hoping to make a name for himself in front of the princes of the world.
Who would have thought that before he even stepped out of his own door, he would fail and die at the hands of his own brother.
Cheng Qianye, his twin sister who looks similar to him, was given the task of disguising herself as a man and replacing Cheng Qianyu, the Marquis of Jinyue.
He gathered the panicked troops and captured Prince Zhang who had rebelled, narrowly saving his own life and the lives of his female relatives.
Originally, Cheng Qianye and Yang Ji wanted to pack up quickly and return to their own nest first.
However, Xiao Jin, a close friend of Jin Yuehou, made a private suggestion:
The lord has just taken office and his foundation is not yet stable. Although the princess and the lord look similar, their manners and words are inevitably different in the rush. If she returns to the capital at this moment, with so many close friends around her, she might be noticed and something might go wrong.
Secondly, my lord has just ascended the throne at a young age. If he turns back at this moment, he will lose faith with all the princes. He will be ridiculed by the people of the world and the heroes will covet the lord of the Great Jin who is weak and can be bullied.
It would be better not to return to Beijing for the time being and continue on to the alliance meeting.
After hearing what Xiao Jin said, Cheng Qianye had no choice but to send Yang Ji and his pregnant sister-in-law back. However, he was forced to take the position of lord without knowing what was going on, leading a huge army to participate in the war against the Quanrong.
At this moment, Cheng Qianye was standing on a high platform with many princes, looking at the real, bloody ancient battlefield before them.
Cheng Qianye had seen many war scenes on the screen, all kinds of magnificent, with continuous gunfire, and magnificent.
However, at this moment, standing here, facing the bloody sandstorm, she realized that the real battlefield could not be expressed in any film or television works.
The lives of countless soldiers and slaves were piled up on the front line like worthless ants.
She watched helplessly as a young soldier stumbled during the charge, and the horses of his companions behind him could not stop and trampled over his stomach.
The living body raised its hands and screamed in pain.
However, the huge war machine cannot see the humble suffering of individuals.
One after another, the fierce horses of his own people galloped over him mercilessly. The arm that was raised high was soon submerged in the dust.
A warrior who rushed to the city wall was hit by a huge boulder and fell to the ground just as he raised his weapon. A streak of red and white substance mixed with blood and brain matter instantly spread on the ground, and the body pressed under the boulder was still twitching violently.
…
Cheng Qianye turned his head and vomited.
One of her staff patted her back and said in a gentle voice, "My lord, are you okay?"
This man's surname is Zhang and his name is Fu.
Although she is young, she is the first aide to her father, Marquis Jinwei.
His face was like a full moon, his eyes were like ink, and he looked at Cheng Qianye with concern.
However, Cheng Qianye knew that at this moment his heart was full of contempt for himself.
In her eyes, Zhang Fu's whole body exuded a beautiful and transparent purple glow, but a thick iron blue color rose clearly in the light.
Livid represents intense disappointment and contempt.
Cheng Qianye looked at Zhang Fu's gentle face right before his eyes. He couldn't tell at all that he was so strongly dissatisfied with himself.
Yes, after traveling through time, a system interface appeared in Cheng Qianye’s mind.
As long as she concentrated, a silent screen would appear in front of her eyes, through which she could see a colored light on everyone.
Everyone has a different color, some people are turbid, some are clear, most people are very dim, and only a very few people have an exceptionally dazzling and bright light.
For example, Zhang Fu, the man in front of him, has a beautiful bright purple color like amethyst, but this purple is often mixed with another color because of some sudden emotion of his.
His face almost always maintained a gentle and polite expression. If it weren't for this system interface, Cheng Qianye would probably never know that his inner emotions were so harsh and changeable.
And Xiao Jin, the only man who knew Chen Qianye's identity, had a bright and warm terracotta color on his body. Whenever he looked at Chen Qianye, the edge of this light would be mixed with a faint gold, which was the color representing loyalty. He transferred some of his loyalty to Gongzi Yu to Cheng Qianye.
The attendant general He Lanzhen wore a bright cobalt green, while another young general Yu Dunsu, who was recently promoted by Cheng Qianye, wore a bright orange-yellow.
At this moment, the two generals' eyes were fixed on the battlefield, with light rising from their bodies with a hint of red, and it was obvious that they were both eager to fight.
Cheng Qianye traveled through time and space, knowing nothing and groping in all directions.
Since there was only this system, she would just gather around herself the people who were visible and had beautiful colors, although she was not very clear about the meaning of these colors.
But she found that people with pure and bright colors were extremely rare, almost rare to the extreme.
For example, at this moment, on the general platform, except for the four people around him, Cheng Qianye only saw General Feng Suyan behind Li Wenguang, whose body was dyed with a flaming red, and General Gongsun Nian beside Beigong Hou, who was wearing a bright peacock blue.
The light of these two generals was surrounded by a circle of firm golden edges, showing their absolute loyalty to their lord.
Most people, no matter how imposing or well-dressed they appear, have a dim or even turbid light in them.
Sitting next to her was Weibei Hou Hua Yuzhi, who had a rosewood face, a square face, and inverted eyebrows, and looked quite dignified.
But Chen Qianye could clearly see that the color on his body was extremely dirty. Once she got close to talk, the mixed colors made Cheng Qianye so disgusting that she wanted to vomit again. She quickly shut down her system.
"Duke Yue of Jin is so young. This is his first time on the battlefield. He must be a little uncomfortable with it, right?" Hua Yuzhi said with a smile.
"Okay, okay." Cheng Qianye responded.
"I heard that Master Yu is one of the most elegant and refined men in Jin, and all his attendants are handsome young men. I have a few beautiful concubines in my account. When we take over Bianzhou City, I will invite you to gather in my account, have fun, and relax. Haha."
"… "
Cheng Qianye looked at the battlefield in front of him, which was littered with corpses and blood.
I really can't figure out what kind of person can look at a picture like this while thinking about those obscene things about their lower body.
The siege has reached a white-hot stage. The allied soldiers keep climbing up the city walls, but are shot down by the enemy like rain.
At the foot of the city wall, corpses, no, broken bodies, continued to pile up. Dark red blood permeated the entire soil.
The tragic war drums stirred the blood in everyone's heart. Even Cheng Qianye, a visitor from another world, couldn't help but clench his fists.
Hurry up, rush up, break through the city wall and end it all.
She saw a warrior in black armor who nimbly dodged numerous rolling stones and arrows and quickly climbed to the top of the city wall.
Come on! Cheng Qianye couldn't help but cheer for him, hoping that he wouldn't fall down.
The soldier finally stepped onto the top of the city wall.
At the same time, an enemy spear pierced his shoulder.
However, he was not afraid. He rushed forward to meet the enemy, raised his hand and swung his sword to cut the enemy off the city wall.
Then he pulled the spear from his shoulder and stabbed it into the body of another enemy.
With the gap he opened, soldiers followed him one after another and climbed up to the top of the city wall.
The long-lasting stalemate finally tilted in favor of the Allied forces.
There was a cheer from the stage.
"Good, good, well done!" Weibei Hou Huayu laughed and asked his staff, "This person seems to be from my department. Do you know who he is?"
His staff replied, "From what I see, it seems to be a slave named Mo Qiaosheng, who was bought by the lord himself. He was promoted to centurion not long ago because of his bravery in battle. The lord is wise and knows how to recognize talent!"
"Haha, great, if you take down Bianzhou, I will personally reward him!"
The siege lasted for several days and finally ended with the victory of the Allied forces.
For ordinary soldiers, they may look forward to promotion and rewards with joy.
But for the slaves at the bottom of the society, being alive is the best reward.
Perhaps the host is so happy that he would add two or three pieces of meat and a few more pieces of firm bread to today's dinner, which would be a pleasant surprise.
Mo Qiaosheng covered his wound and walked step by step back to the camp. There was noise and chaos on both sides of the muddy road in the slave camp.
