It was midnight when I sneaked into the palace of the Xiyang Kingdom, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and it was a good time to commit crimes.
And I'm going to assassinate the young prince of Xiyang Kingdom, Lord Wumin.
When I was young, I learned Kung Fu from my master. At that time, they said to me, little princess, you learn these things to strengthen your body and protect yourself. Now that there have been years of war, the king of Xiyang country is eyeing Dongyuan country, and the emperor... All in all, if something unexpected happens in the future, you will not be powerless to resist.
When I was learning the Three Character Classic and Shuowen Jiezi, I learned very slowly, so my father and king believed that I was a girl with a little mental retardation, and he didn't care about all my discipline. Who knew that although I was not a literary student However, he is a person who learns martial arts. It only took ten years from squatting on horseback to being able to use various weapons with ease.
I once read a storybook before, in which the swordsman said, "I learned swordsmanship at the age of seven, and I have achieved success in seven years, and I have never met an opponent." At that time, I thought it was cool, but I didn't expect to have such a state one day. I learned martial arts at the age of six, and I have achieved success in ten years. I have never been defeated by anyone in the huge palace.
For my good martial arts, my father was overjoyed at the beginning, but later he became superstitious because he began to practice the art of immortality with a Taoist priest. I am so good at martial arts, it is probably the reincarnation of an evil star, and this calamity that has been relentless for many years is also inextricably linked to me.
Just because of this "evil star reincarnation", my father became very dissatisfied with me again. Fortunately, I am used to being treated with dissatisfaction by him, so I don't feel too uncomfortable. I just try not to use martial arts as much as possible, especially in the palace.
However, Xiyang Country has always had great ambitions, and this has not changed because of the restraint of my evil star. The emperor is obsessed with the longevity technique, the queen is playing with power, the ministers are sensual, and the Dongyuan country is not their opponent at all. The millions of troops are like the northwest wind that must come every winter. country.
They quickly broke through Liucheng. Liucheng is a place in the southwest of Dongyuan Kingdom. Most of them are the cloth from there, and the craftsmanship of Liucheng women.
Liucheng is not too far from Yuncheng, the capital of Dongyuan Kingdom. Judging by their mighty posture, they can attack within a month at most, at least half a month.
The emperor's health has long been weak due to taking medicine for many years. After learning the news that Xiyang country invaded Liucheng of Dongyuan country, he didn't slow down for a while, and died. My young brother ascended the throne in a hurry, and the empress—the empress dowager should be behind the curtain to listen to the government, but there is no good way to resist the army of Xiyang Kingdom.
The person leading the army in the Xiyang Kingdom is Prince Wumingjun. This name was not well obtained, because it led to his annihilation of humanity and no mercy for his opponents.
After breaking Liucheng, news about Lord Wumin spread, and the eunuchs talked about him in a panic, saying that he stood on a high place, arrogant, with a blurred face and a calm voice: "People from Dongyuan Kingdom, those who descended are not Kill. Those who do not surrender, regardless of women and children, will be executed on the spot."
Later, when he learned that his father died short-lived because of the longevity technique, he actually talked and laughed and recited poems: "Kong loves the longevity technique, not a long-lived person."
In just two sentences, the members of the Dongyuan Kingdom's royal family couldn't lift their heads. Regarding this point, I feel a little helpless, but I am not very sad. I have no feelings for Dongyuan Country, nor for Father. My impression of him is that when he was a child, he killed his mother at will, and threw me to be raised by an unfavored concubine. After the concubine died of illness, he didn't care about me anymore.
But the people of Dongyuan country need redemption, even if some of them surrender, they will be killed. Although the royal family of Dongyuan is cowardly and incompetent, the people are very strong. When the army of Xiyang country attacked, they were killed several times. Seeing the attack of the guards formed spontaneously by the people, the soldiers of Xiyang Kingdom hated these unarmed civilians and raped them wantonly.
The soldiers of Xiyang Kingdom are close at hand, but because the royal family of Dongyuan is still there, it has not been surrendered or destroyed, so it is not considered a broken country. But this situation can't last long.
Until a few days ago, the empress dowager, who was much older, called me to her and asked me: "Princess Changyi, do you hate me very much, and your father?"
"Father and empress gave birth to me, I have no hatred." I answered honestly.
"It's just that there is no emotion, is it?" She smiled helplessly, "I never expected that there would be such a day..."
She knelt down before me.
I'm not panicked, I know why she knelt down. In comparison, the cost of her kneeling down was not too great.
She said: "Princess Changyi, in Dongyuan, there are very few martial arts like you. I hope you can use this power to kill Lord Wumin and avenge your father and this country..."
I promised that even though I have no feelings for them, I am the princess of Dongyuan Kingdom after all. I have lived for sixteen years, but I was not born by my father, but raised by the people of Dongyuan Kingdom. The rice I eat comes from farmers in the countryside, the silk I wear comes from weaving girls in the workshop, and the palace I live in comes from countless people.
Apart from martial arts, I don't have any other abilities. If I throw it into the folk, I'm afraid life will be extremely difficult. But even though I am not favored, I still live a good life. All of this comes from the taxes paid by the people of Dongyuan Kingdom.
I will use my only strength - martial arts, to repay the people of Dongyuan country.
Even if I know, this time there will be no return.

Lord Wumin has returned to Xiyang Kingdom now, and there is no other reason. Emperor Xicheng of Xiyang Kingdom is critically ill. As the only crown prince, and a young general who has repeatedly made outstanding achievements, Lord Wumin is naturally the best candidate to succeed the throne. What's more, the wind and rain in Dongyuan country are turbulent, he no longer needs to defend the formation himself.
For him, it seems that the most important thing is to stay by Emperor Xi Cheng's side and wait for him to die.
After so many days of preparation, I know that Lord Wumin lives in the Palace of Palms, and just by looking at his name, one can tell how powerful this person is, Palace of Palms, he actually wants to hold the vast universe in his palm.
I carefully lifted the roof tiles, the sound was so soft that no one noticed. The huge palm hall was pitch black, I listened attentively, and heard subtle and orderly breathing, it should be Lord Wumin who has fallen asleep, if he is awake, his breathing will be more disordered.
I flew down and knocked out several guards before they could react. Things went smoothly beyond my expectation. I opened the door and entered quickly, with light, steady steps and without a sound. Then I approached Mr. Wumin's bed.
I can't see in the dark, I can only vaguely feel a tall and straight man lying on his side, drew out a dagger, I stabbed it, but the man who was supposed to be asleep turned over at the nick of time, I used all my strength It was too big, and the dagger was extremely sharp, so he escaped, and the dagger pierced the whole bed, and he couldn't lick it for a while.
While I was drawing the dagger, that person straightened up lightly, mercilessly swung his hand as a blade, and I bent down to dodge it, only to feel the wind blowing loudly in my ears, and the strength of Lord Wumin's hand It's really surprising that it's so big.
I couldn't pull out the dagger, so I had no choice but to give up, and the two of them fought bare-handed in the dark. Although I had never met an opponent before, Lord Wumin seemed to be the first opponent I met.
He has a nimble body, without any slowness that a person who just woke up should have, and he is strong but not blunt. In the dark, he can accurately attack my fatal point by relying on his voice. Not supporting, coming and going again and again, gradually fell into a disadvantage.
Forget it, if you can't avenge your country, then die for your country.
I thought helplessly.
Thinking so, the survival instinct still made me fight him as much as possible, until finally he showed a gap, and I immediately stretched out my legs to trip him, Mr. Wumin couldn't dodge, fell down, but also caught him The hem of my clothes, we both fell to the ground together, and unfortunately, we both landed head first.
***
When I woke up, it was already dawn, I felt a terrible headache, and I wondered if I should die, why did I still feel "painful"
However, when I opened my eyes, I was stunned, because I actually saw my "self", wearing the night clothes, staring at me with an extremely ugly expression. There is still a little blood on the head of "I", probably from yesterday.
This…
I lowered my head slightly, only to see that I was actually wearing the clothes of the prince of Xiyang Kingdom, a long-sleeved gown with a dark black base, with auspicious cloud patterns on the cuffs and neckline, low-key and heavy.
Look at the hands and feet again, they are slender and white, with calluses worn out from holding weapons for many years, but they are the hands and feet of a man.
I stared at "myself" dumbfounded, unable to say a word for a while.
I, Princess Changyi of Dongyuan Kingdom, actually switched bodies with the crown prince of my hostile country...

After being surprised, the "I" on the opposite side pulled out the dagger that was originally stuck on the bed, looked at the words on it for a while, and said, "Yun? Heh, the surname of Dongyuan country--you are from the royal family of Dongyuan , and martial arts, um, could it be Princess Changyi?"
I froze for a moment and said, "How do you know?"
To be honest, looking at my own face and speaking to myself with a strange tone of yin and yang, it feels really complicated. It's as if when facing the water, the water is suddenly hit by a stone, causing circles of blue waves to appear, which also makes his appearance weird and blurred.
"Changyi is good at martial arts, and a woman is brave..." The other party played with the dagger, smiled and read a few words that the civil servants praised me.
This sounds good, but it's actually the same. My imperial sister and the others are all "xx princesses, gentle and good-natured, skilled female craftsmen/calligraphers and painters, good at rhythm..." and the like. It’s just that I’m not gentle, at best I’m dull, I’m not good at female calligraphy and painting, and I can’t understand the rhythm, so the civil servant had to reluctantly talk about my martial arts to prove that I don’t know everything...
"And I also know that your name is Jiao. What a good name, Moonrise Jiaoxi..." he said leisurely.
"You are Lord Wumin?" I interrupted him.
He nodded: "Yes."
Without saying a word, I rushed up and snatched the dagger from his hand. He didn't dodge or dodge, and let me snatch the dagger.
It's weird, but I still put the dagger on his neck... or rather, mine.
Lord Wumin smiled: "Are you going to commit suicide?"
I said coldly: "It's a big deal and we will die together."
"Then have you ever thought that if your body dies, my soul will have nowhere to go, and I will return to my own body, and when you die, I will be safe... Huh?"
"..." My hand holding the dagger froze, "Is this possible?"
"What do you think?" He had a calm demeanor, and smiled at me meanly in my face, "Even body swaps are possible, I don't think there is anything impossible in this world."
Actually, I also think...
I slowly retracted the dagger, and then pressed it against my neck: "Then I'll just commit suicide, your body is dead, and your soul can't come back."
Lord Wumin raised his eyebrows: "The determination is not small, Dongyuan is a doomsday country, is it worth it for you?"
"If you hadn't allowed the soldiers to wantonly massacre the people in the occupied land, I would not have come to assassinate you."
Mr. Wumin thought for a while, and said: "If you commit suicide, I really can't go back, but don't forget, even though I'm in your body, I can still write the same handwriting as before - if you die, I will return to you." They will forge a blood letter, saying that the people of Dongyuan country killed me, and ask the soldiers of Xiyang country to avenge me—once the capital of Dongyuan country is captured, the city will be massacred immediately, regardless of surrender or not.”
That was my voice, it was my tongue, but it was controlled by Mr. Wumin, and I uttered such vicious words, I was anxious: "You are too shameless!"
"It's your face anyway." He smiled at me.
"..."
I kind of want to die with him desperately...
The next moment Lord Wumin restrained his smile, and said solemnly: "Princess Changyi, no matter what, we should not be hostile, but should cooperate--my father is critically ill, and my uncle, King Xiuyi, is eyeing the throne covetously. Confidence, but now that something has happened, if he wins the throne, then the people of Dongyuan Kingdom will really be hopeless."
"Then what should we do?"
"I'll marry you."
Lord Wumin looked at me and smiled slightly: "Or - you marry me."
"..." For the first time in my life, I felt the feeling of being struck by lightning. From the top of the sky, it went numb all the way to my neck, and it was horrible and painful...
"Princess Changyi came to Xiyang Kingdom, and accidentally met the prince of Xiyang Kingdom, Mr. Wumin. The two fell in love at first sight and met each other for a lifetime. Mr. Wumin wanted beauties and not mountains and rivers, and was willing to give up the easy-to-get Dongyuan Kingdom for her." Lord Min read a few long sentences like reciting, "Princess Changyi, do you think this story is convincing enough?"
I said slowly: "This depends on the appearance of 'Princess Changyi'..."
Lord Wumin nodded in agreement, then straightened up, walked a few steps stiffly and uncomfortably, fetched the bronze mirror, and took a picture.
Then the bronze mirror fell to the ground.
He turned his head and looked at me saddenedly: "Princess Changyi, you look too ordinary... You don't have the appearance of harming the country and the people at all."
I picked up the bronze mirror and said apologetically, "I'm so ugly, I'm so sorry..."
In fact, I don't have any special concept about my own appearance, but compared to those imperial sisters who are like flowers and moons, at least I know that I am much worse than them. And I have never dressed up, I have always been naked, and the clothes are simple, as long as they are tight and comfortable, so that it is convenient for martial arts. As for the headgear, I have never worn it, because it is tinkling, completely revealing my whereabouts.
I took a picture of myself with the bronze mirror, and I was shocked when I saw it. The man in the mirror was as white as jade, with phoenix eyes and sword eyebrows. Although there were bloodstains and stains on his forehead, it did not affect his appearance at all. He was dressed in black. Like a mortal, I couldn't help sighing: "Mr. Wumin, you have the appearance of disastrous to the country and the people..."
Lord Wumin snatched the bronze mirror with a dark face: "Just say one more word and we'll die together."
"..."
"Forget it, if you look three-quarters and dress seven-parts, even if you look ordinary, you are not ugly, and you can still meet people when you dress up." Mr. Wumin sighed, "Anyway, we can't do this, and we will go to see Emperor Father in a while. Somebody come in and help us clean up."
I nodded: "Yes, yes, but there is a more serious problem right now."
Lord Wumin's face was not very good-looking: "I know what you are going to say, because I am the same."
After waking up in the morning, there will inevitably be filth that has been deposited overnight in the body waiting to be discharged. Uh, right now, we are facing this problem.
He thought for a while and said, "I'm fine, I promise not to watch it."
I said, "I promise not to watch it either."
Lord Wumin shook his head: "Do you want... the one in the front or the one in the back."
I am a little embarrassed: "The one in front."
"Men have to stand when they go to the toilet." He explained, "And to align, you have to hold it with your hands..."
I was stunned for a while, then shook my head violently: "I don't want to help! Me, I just squat down..."
Mr. Wumin wondered: "But, it will be spilled like that."
I was so angry that I said, "Why are you men so wretched!"
Mr. Wumin's face turned pale: "What's so wretched... how about this, or if you close your eyes, I'll help you up..."
The corner of my mouth twitched slightly: "Then my hands are dirty..."
Lord Wumin said angrily: "Then what do you say?!"
I hesitated for a long time, and finally came up with a solution... That is, I took a rope, closed my eyes, and got it from under there, holding one side of the rope with both hands, so that I can count as supporting...
In the end, we all agreed on this method, but I don't know why, I feel a murderous aura emanating from Mr. Wumin...
