Can't a girl be a traitor like Cao Cao?

However, the current storyline has deviated too much from the original.

Chi Junlin not only did not disband the Zhenbei Army, but also took over the imperial city, spent the night on the dragon bed, controlled the palace, and turned the entire inner garden into his own backyard.

The current emperor is undoubtedly a figurehead, and the success of any assassination attempt on him is highly questionable.

However, it is clear to anyone with discerning eyes that Chi Junlin is the one who truly holds the highest power in the Great Zheng Dynasty at this time.

Therefore, the remnants of the Lou clan changed their purpose.

They wanted to start with Chi Junlin and see if they could control her in order to seize control of the Zhenbei Army.

After learning about the other party's purpose, the next step is to see the role played by the male protagonist, Ding Xia.

Chi Junlin had a fairly good understanding of the martial arts sect to which Ding Xia belonged.

The sect has many rules and regulations, and has always required its disciples to be pure of heart and free from worldly desires, and not to be influenced by worldly affairs.

Chi Junlin knew that the assassination attempt on the emperor had nothing to do with Ding Xia's sect.

But their sect just happened to produce such a terrifying freak as Ding Xia.

Not only was he tricked into rebelling against the imperial court, but he was also forced to clean up Chi Junlin's messes every time.

It's fair to say he did almost nothing of note.

Furthermore, according to what Jiang Qianju said at this moment, this guy didn't remember any of the good things Chi Junlin had done for him in the past.

They actually thought of joining forces with the court traitors to deal with me.

Yang Yuru, who was listening to the two talking, did not know Ding Xia.

But from their brief conversation, I could still roughly picture in my mind this heartless, ungrateful man.

She was somewhat surprised.

He blurted out instinctively, "There are actually such heartless and cruel people in this world... It's truly a rare sight indeed..."

After hearing Yang Yuru's words, Chi Junlin couldn't help but laugh and said, "You don't know him now. If you did, you would know that his bottom line is far beyond your imagination, far less than a fraction of what we described."

Yang Yuru found it strange that she, as the empress of a country, would get to know such a bandit.

But if she knew that in another timeline, she would be sharing a husband with the princess, this scum of the earth…

I wonder what they'll think.

At this moment, Jiang Qianju seemed to notice Yang Yuru standing to the side, and gave her a very strange look.

His eyes held a mixture of mockery, pity, and even a hint of jealousy and annoyance.

Yang Yuru felt ashamed under their gaze and wished she could find a hole to crawl into.

Fortunately, Chi Junlin got up from the bed at this moment.

Suddenly, he appeared in front of Jiang Qianju.

He grasped her hand tightly and smiled, "Did you come all this way just to tell me this? Are you worried about my safety?"

Jiang Qianju's heart tightened, and she said awkwardly, "Who cares to tell you? I'd rather you were dead."

"Then what are you doing here?"

"Of course, it's to mock Jiang Hao, that incompetent and stupid emperor... Not only did he lose his throne, but his wife was also slept with by someone else... Hahaha..."

At this moment, Chi Junlin put his arm around Jiang Qianju's slender waist and said with a smile, "But compared to him, you don't seem to be much better? I've already stolen your heart."

Jiang Qianju was furious upon hearing this and immediately cursed, "Chi Junlin! I didn't... Waaah..."

Before she could finish speaking, her mouth was blocked.

Yang Yuru immediately realized what was about to happen.

If Chi Junlin were a man, she would never accept it, and would rather die than submit.

But Chi Junlin is such a dashing and heroic woman.

"I do not……"

Before Yang Yuru could finish speaking, Chi Junlin grabbed her around the waist.

This time, the flowers bloom in pairs, and the two sleep together under the same quilt.

Another silent night passed.

Chapter 15 Nighttime Infiltration of the Imperial Palace

Just as Chi Junlin was in the inner garden of the palace, sleeping with the Empress and the Eldest Princess, they were having sex.

at the same time.

Another secluded courtyard not far from the palace.

Ding Xia, filled with curiosity, was led into the courtyard by another bald man in monk's robes.

There were still three people in the courtyard at this time.

A man in flowing blue robes, holding a folding fan, looked every bit the elegant gentleman of this turbid world.

The other two appeared to be a couple, dressed in black and white respectively. The woman in white, though sallow-faced and not particularly attractive, had an extremely alluring figure; her slender waist and legs suggested she was a seasoned martial artist. The man in black was burly and had a full beard, giving off an impression of being someone to be trifled with.

At this time, the four people in the courtyard, apart from Ding Xia, were all notorious villains and skilled fighters in the martial arts world.

The bald man in monk's robes who brought Ding Xia in was known in the martial arts world as "Thunderbolt Legs" Chen Tailai. Although he wore monk's robes, he was actually a fake monk. He not only indulged in drinking and eating meat but also frequented brothels. He met Ding Xia at the Mandarin Duck Tower. He was famous in the martial arts world for his violent temper, love of fighting, fierce moves, and superb leg skills.

The handsome young man, dressed in flowing blue robes, was known as "Young Master Liu," a notorious womanizer in the martial arts world. Because of his good looks and prowess in bed, the women he had raped often dared not speak out, yet were captivated by his skills. So much so that many women, after being violated by him, would turn around and throw themselves into his arms, enraging him. He, in turn, took pride in this, calling himself the number one lecherous thief in the world.

The last couple was known as the "Black and White Duo." Their name alone suggested they were a pair of notorious thieves who roamed the land. Their methods were swift and efficient. The White Duo would typically pose as a prostitute to lure wealthy merchants, and while the White Duo were engaged in their illicit affair, the Black Duo would break in, catch them in the act, and then extort money from them. Their infamous reputation stemmed from the fact that after extorting money, they would often kill their victims, leaving no survivors.

Although these four people were highly skilled in martial arts, they could not be considered righteous gentlemen; they could only be described as evil villains.

Normally, such people from the martial arts world are despised by the righteous path, and ordinary members of righteous sects would be ashamed to associate with them, or even want to get rid of them as soon as they see them.

However, these notorious bandits on the imperial court's bounty list were invaluable "talents" to the traitor Lou.

Anyone with ability, no matter how wicked, can be recruited by the Lou family with a large sum of money and put to use.

The main reason these people were here was that they were all quite skilled.

Although he wasn't considered the top martial arts master of his time, his lightness skill was indeed far superior to that of his peers in the martial arts world.

Therefore, during this turmoil in the capital, Lady Lou ordered several people to conduct a covert operation to gather information.

Ding Xia and the others were not originally acquainted, but when he asked the female manager of Yuanyang Tower to help him find information about a woman with the surname "Yuan", it happened to be learned by Chen Tailai, known as "Thunder Leg".

Although Chen Tailai did not recognize the woman, he knew that among Lou's many subordinates, there was a female strategist who was exceptionally quick-witted and had a brilliant mind, and whose surname was indeed "Wan".

Chen Tailai, unaware of Ding Xia's background, secretly sought an opportunity to meet with him and subtly probe his intentions.

They then learned that Ding Xia and the female strategist were indeed old acquaintances.

Furthermore, through their mutual questioning, they confirmed that they shared the same goal.

Chen Tailai's side wants to deal with the imperial court, while Ding Xia wants to deal with Chi Junlin.

The two sides hit it off immediately and decided to form an alliance.

Ding Xia was supposed to be a decent person, and he shouldn't have associated with evil people.

Unfortunately, this Ding Xia is also a despicable and filthy bastard.

Upon meeting these wicked people, I felt an instant connection with them, as if we were old friends.

Then Ding Xia introduced himself and recounted his grievances with Chi Junlin.

The group then decided to seize the opportunity to control Chi Junlin and use her identity to incite conflict between the Zhenbei Army and the imperial court, thereby profiting from the conflict.

Unfortunately, after inquiring with the Princess, Ding Xia did not learn of Chi Junlin's whereabouts.

But they don't intend to do nothing either.

Instead, they decided to take advantage of the darkness and wind tonight to investigate the situation inside the palace.

After Chen Tailai brought Ding Xia to the courtyard, the group chatted and laughed for a while.

Then they set off under cover of darkness, bypassing the patrol guards.

They climbed over an ancient tree and entered the inner garden.

To be fair, the group's lightness skills were indeed remarkable, befitting their status as seasoned bandits who had roamed the martial world for many years. However, Ding Xia's martial arts skills were not yet fully developed, and his mediocre lightness skills held the others back.

On several occasions when they moved on the eaves of the palace, the four of them had to wait for Ding Xia for a moment.

Sometimes, when Ding Xia couldn't get through a certain place, Chen Tailai would have to give him a ride.

Young Master Liu then chuckled, fanning himself with a folding fan, "Brother Ding Xia, your agility is truly lacking. If I were to take you to pick flowers and enjoy their fragrance, you'd probably fall into the courtyard and have your legs broken by the owner."

Ding Xia was a little embarrassed, but still shamelessly said, "I am not as good as you, Young Master Liu. I hope you can give me some guidance. I can count on you to teach me those flower-picking skills."

Young Master Liu said smugly, "Picking flowers is nothing. When I have the chance, I'll take you to the famous Pleasure Cave of the Joyful Sect. That will truly broaden your horizons."

Ding Xia's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked, "Is Young Master Liu's statement true?"

"It's true."

Shh, be quiet!

Chen Tailai suddenly gestured for them to hide.

The group, hiding high in the palace, saw a group of guards below carrying torches as they walked over.

Chen Tailai then asked suspiciously, "That's strange. I've never seen such tight security when I came to the palace before. Why are there guards patrolling even at night now?"

Upon hearing this, Ding Xia asked Chen Tailai, "Brother Chen, are we in any danger? Or would it be best to be cautious during this operation?"

Upon hearing Ding Xia's words, Chen Tailai revealed a contemptuous expression and said, "In this imperial city, there is only one person who can be considered a master of the world, and that is the Grand Eunuch Jiang Wanqian!"

If he were in the inner garden, we certainly wouldn't be able to freely enter or leave the palace.

But that little girl Chi Junlin, in her self-righteousness, used her cavalry guards to tear Jiang Wanqian apart with five horses, effectively cutting off her own arm.

"Without Jiang Wanqian, wouldn't we be able to come and go from this palace whenever we want? What's there to be afraid of!"

Chen Tailai's words were immediately agreed upon by the other three.

Clearly, in their eyes, the soldiers below were nothing more than a bunch of chickens and dogs.

Even if there are many of them, they are just a bunch of mediocre people who pose no threat to them.

Ding Xia nodded, agreeing with what he said.

However, I also feel it's a pity at this moment.

If only we knew Chi Junlin's whereabouts on this trip. Otherwise, with the help of these four "peerless masters," we could probably take down Chi Junlin in no time.

Then we'll see if that woman still dares to give me attitude!

However, Ding Xia was unaware that Chi Junlin was actually not far from him.

At this moment, Chi Junlin was actually in Jiaofang Palace, not far away.

He was having a wonderful time with the Princess and the Empress on the dragon bed.

Chapter 16 Fire the arrows! Fire the arrows!

The group of people hid on the roof for a while, and after the patrolling guards left, they straightened up and looked around.

Their infiltration of the palace was certainly not for sightseeing.

The primary objective was to locate Emperor Jiang Hao.

The group gazed at the palace from its top for a long time. At this moment, Black Fiend, one of the Black and White Duo, frowned and said, "Although we can come and go freely in this inner garden, there are many pavilions and towers within the palace."

If we keep searching place by place, when will we ever find the emperor's residence?

After a moment of silence, Young Master Liu suddenly laughed and said, "It doesn't matter if we can't find it. In fact, I'm more interested in knowing where the world-famous Huachun Palace is than the Emperor Dazheng."

Upon hearing this, Ding Xia asked curiously, "What kind of place is Huachun Palace? What's so special about it?"

Young Master Liu replied with a look of longing, "Huachun Palace itself is nothing special, but the people who live in the palace are very special."

Did you know that the peerless and stunningly beautiful Consort Yu resided within the Huachun Palace?

Ding Xia was also moved when he heard what Young Master Liu said.

The other men also subconsciously turned their attention to this.

As the most favored concubine of Emperor Jiang Hao, Consort Yu's beauty was renowned throughout the land.

Jiang Hao showed him great favor, showering him with gifts after he entered the palace.
