Chapter 1 I am a shadow
"Your Majesty, what do you think of this person?"
“The resemblance, the resemblance, it’s almost carved from the same mold.”
In a daze, two completely different voices suddenly sounded in Zheng Yi's ears.
One is sharp, the other is hoarse.
"Hehehehe, Your Majesty, we have found this person after all the hard work. With this person, Your Majesty can rest easy."
A sharp voice sounded, obviously in a flattering tone.
"Hehehe... I have done a good job in this matter, and I will have my own reward. Ahem..."
The hoarse voice coughed dryly, and then said: "It's just a little darker, and the body is thinner, and the temperament is a little different from mine."
"Your Majesty is the True Dragon Emperor. It is a great blessing for a villager in the mountains to look like your Majesty. How can he really be compared with your Majesty?"
The sharp voice continued: "Your Majesty, don't worry. If you raise this person for a while, he will become just like your Majesty."
"I will find someone to teach him some common sense of etiquette. If I train him a lot, I will be able to relieve your majesty's worries..."
"So good."
Zheng Yi struggled for a while, and finally a faint light shone in front of his eyes, and he soon woke up.
Only then did he realize that in front of him was a very exquisite room with carvings of dragons and phoenixes.
And in front of him, there were two completely different figures standing.
He is about forty years old, with a fair face and no beard. He is wearing a purple python robe, holds a whisk in his hand, his waist is slightly bent, and his face is smiling, making him look like a proper eunuch.
The other person was about twenty years old, with a thin figure and a ruddy complexion. He was actually wearing a bright yellow five-clawed dragon robe. His eyes were very bright and he was looking at himself curiously.
"Who are you?"
"Your Majesty, this person is awake."
The figure of the eunuch stepped forward and said: "Bold! Have you forgotten what we told you before you came here? Why don't you meet His Majesty soon!"
Zheng Yi's head shook, and then a strange memory quickly filled his mind.
It turns out that I... traveled through time!
The night before, I was playing games in the dormitory all night, and the next second I appeared in this country called 'Dayu'.
In my memory, 'I' was just a mountain villager, and my name was actually the same as myself, also called Zheng Yi.
One day when he was selling firewood in the city, he was suddenly kidnapped and taken away. He was supervised by a special person and was brought here masked all the way.
Later I found out that because my appearance was very similar to that of His Majesty Dayu, Wang Zhongyi, the eunuch beside King Zheng, took notice of me and secretly arrested me into the palace to do the work of the emperor's shadow!
The so-called shadow is a substitute who specializes in handling things and places where the emperor does not need to be personally involved in danger.
According to Zheng Yi's own understanding, this world is somewhat similar to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in his previous life. More than a dozen countries fought against each other and wars often occurred.
Some emperors, princes, and princes will specially cultivate or find people similar to themselves as shadows to ensure their own safety.
At this time, Zheng Yi is undoubtedly the shadow found by Zheng Yuanluo, the current emperor of Dayu, ‘Zhengyong Emperor’!
Isn't this just like the movie I watched in my previous life?
"Oh~ Don't be nervous, my dear friend."
Emperor Zhengyong waved his hand and said: "This person will become the shadow of me, how can I do something humble and kneel down? If I get used to it in the future, how can I replace me?"
"Your Majesty is wise!"
"It really looks like, I have never seen anyone so similar."
Emperor Zhengyong clicked his tongue in surprise, and then said: "Zheng Yi, right? From now on, you will be my shadow. As long as you are obedient, I will guarantee you prosperity and wealth for the rest of your life."
Zheng Yi also came to his senses at this time. He took matters into his own hands and got through the current crisis first. He couldn't let the two people in front of him find out that he was no longer the original Zheng Yi.
He could only pretend to be panicked and said nervously: "Yes, the grass-roots people know."
"Well, yes, the voice is somewhat similar, but the intonation is lowered and it looks more like it."
Wang Zhongyi said humbly: "Your Majesty is wise."
"By the way, Your Majesty, I have already called the manager of the Jingsi Room, who will personally perform the palace torture on Zheng Yi. I guarantee that he will be able to get out of bed in three days. At that time, I will personally lead people to teach Zheng Yi."
< br>
What? !
Castration?
Damn it!
This old boy wants to castrate me?
Only then did Zheng Yi realize that in the palace, apart from the underage prince and the guards on duty, there could only be one man, and that was the emperor!
And I... If I want to become the emperor's shadow, I have to stay in the palace.
If you want to stay in the palace, you can't be a man, you can only be...a eunuch!
No, I'm still a virgin.
"This..."
Emperor Zhengyong spoke: "What will happen if this person is discovered?" The shadow should be hidden, and now there are only three people who know Zheng Yi's identity except Emperor Zhengyong and the eunuch Wang Zhongyi in front of him.
The guards who invited Zheng Yi had already been secretly eliminated.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. All you need to do is put a mask on this person, and no one will be allowed to find out his identity..."
"So..."
Emperor Zhengyong said: "If you don't purify your body first, this person will still be of great use."
Zheng Yi breathed a sigh of relief. He had saved his brother, and everything else was easy to talk about.
"This...is!"
Wang Zhongyi hesitated for a moment, then quickly remembered something and fell silent.
"Da Mian, I will leave this person to you. From tomorrow on, I will teach this person some rules."
Emperor Zhengyong said: "In three months, I will go to the Ancestral Temple to offer sacrifices and pray for blessings. This person will go there."
"Yes! Your Majesty."
Emperor Zhengyong left, and the eunuch Wang Zhongyi also left after leaving a few words of half promise and half threat.
Before leaving, he also gave an order to the guards stationed around the room to kill anyone inside if anyone tried to leave.
"Oh...it's such a headache. How did you get to this world?"
Zheng Yi rubbed his head and fell on the bed.
After thinking about it for a while, I learned from my memory that this world is actually a world of martial arts.
There are warriors flying over eaves and walls, flying flowers and hurting people.
There are also legendary innate masters who can penetrate the rainbow, wield swords and kill people, and it is easy to take the head of an admiral among thousands of armies!
Xia uses force to break the ban!
Precisely because of the existence of these martial arts masters, numerous murders were often committed, and even emperors were assassinated by martial arts masters.
The late emperor... died at the hands of assassins.
Because of this, the importance of shadow is proven.
"I am in the palace, not a eunuch or an emperor, what should I do?"
"Waiting online, it's quite urgent."
Zheng Yi raised his head slightly: "System?"
As someone who stays up late and is a hardcore bookworm, of course I know the essential magic weapon for time travellers!
After a few breaths, there was no response.
He raised his arm again. There was no ring, and there were no jade pendants or jade beads on his waist.
"Grandpa?"
No response.
"Fairy?"
Looking at my body, I don’t have any tattoos.
"Monster?"
After a few breaths, Zheng Yi's expression changed and he tried again: "This... dark blue?"
"The main god space?"
"Travel!"
The whole person is like a dancing master, jumping up and down without any reaction at all.
Just when Zheng Yi was feeling a little desperate, a bright black and white light suddenly burst out in his mind.
That's... a mirror!
Or...an ancient bronze mirror!
At the same time, a weak mental fluctuation appeared in his mind.
【Name: Yin Yang Treasure Mirror】
[Heel: The first ancient mirror conceived in chaos can grow with the passage of time, absorb the two qi of yin and yang, travel through the long river of time, reflect the heavens and the world, and give the host infinite power. 】
【Lord: Zheng Yi】

"This...Yin Yang Treasure Mirror? Golden Finger!"
