I, living in the Qin Dynasty, never intended to advance.

"The word 'kill', the third level? Is there such a saying?" Mo Ya asked curiously. Yang Chong's statement was revolutionizing his cognition.

"That's right, the first level of killing. At that time, people were killed with force and sharp weapons. That's the way of killing that soldiers and assassins used." Yang Chong said.

So I only occupy the first level of the word "kill"? Mo Ya pondered and asked, "What about the second level of the word "kill"?"

"The second level of killing is to gauge people's hearts, guide the situation and gain benefits, and kill people with the heart. That's how I led Li Kai to kill Liu Yi." Yang Chong explained.

Killing with the heart? Mo Ya's face changed.

"What a great way to kill people with your heart, how wonderful!" Ji Wuye clapped his hands and laughed. At this moment, he also felt curious. The second level of the word "killing" was already so interesting, so what kind of mystery would the third level of the word "killing" have?

"What about the third level of the word 'kill'?" Mo Ya asked in a changing color.

“The third level of killing is to kill with power and to kill with influence. No matter it is to kill with martial arts or weapons, or to kill with the heart, they are just minor ways. Only to kill with power and to kill with influence is the highest level of killing. Like a great general, he does not need to do anything himself, but can decide the life and death of tens of thousands of people with just one word.” Yang Chong said slowly.

"Kill with power, kill with influence? Good, good, a good one to kill with power, kill with influence." Ji Wuye's face was about to be crooked with smile, full of complacency. No matter how evil Mo Ya and Yang Chong were, they were just his tools. Only he was the one who stood at the highest level of killing.

He was so pleased with Yang Chong's third level of killing that his other plan for Yang Chong became clearer.

Emerald Tiger also looked at Yang Chong with burning eyes. He saw huge investment value in Yang Chong.

Chapter 88: The Indulgence of the Widow (Day of Riwan)

After Yang Chong left the General's Mansion, he identified the direction and headed directly towards the Zuo Sima Mansion.

Thinking about what he had done in the past few days, Yang Chong felt somewhat guilty. After all, he took advantage of a woman's ignorance.

Li Kai's killing of Liu Yi was entirely directed by him, because Yang Chong knew very well that in this world, no matter who killed Liu Yi, the first person that people in Xinzheng would suspect was Ji Wuye, with Li Kai being the only exception.

So Yang Chong used the information about Nanyue to get close to Mrs. Hu and make her let down her guard against him. This in turn aroused Liu Yi's suspicion. While Liu Yi was suspicious, Yang Chong took Mrs. Hu to Zilanxuan, and when she was excited when she saw her daughter, he took the opportunity to do something even more excessive in front of Liu Yi next door.

Liu Yi had no idea that his so-called tracking and peeping were within Yang Chong's sight from beginning to end, and what he saw was what Yang Chong wanted him to see.

All Yang Chong did was to provoke Liu Yi, to provoke Liu Yi to hurt Madam Hu and kill Madam Hu. Only in this way could he force Li Kai to take action against Liu Yi.

The appearance of Li Kai was also the result of Yang Chong's guidance. Li Kai often followed Mrs. Hu. When Yang Chong inadvertently revealed some information to him through others, he was worried that Mrs. Hu would be harmed by Liu Yi, so he followed in secret.

So, when Liu Yi stabbed Mrs. Hu with the sword, he took action.

In the end, Liu Yi died at the hands of Li Kai, and Li Kai used his own life to make a final explanation to the King of Han.

What Yang Chong said in the general's mansion about the second level of the three levels of killing, killing with the heart, is a complete description of this process.

Throughout this assassination, Yang Chong took advantage of Mrs. Hu's affection for her daughter, Liu Yi's jealousy and anger, and Li Kai's love for Mrs. Hu.

It was a perfect plan, but it was also a dirty one.

Mrs. Hu must be very sad now. I should go visit her.

The main hall of Zuo Sima Mansion, where high-ranking officials and dignitaries used to come and go, has now become a mourning hall. Liu Yi's coffin was placed in the middle, and the white linen fluttered in the night breeze, making the entire mourning hall look even more eerie.

Mrs. Hu, the widow, knelt beside the deceased in mourning clothes, looking at Liu Yi's coffin with sadness on her face. However, in her eyes, there was hatred that was hard to conceal. She mourned her own fate and hated Liu Yi and Li Kai.

In the quiet mourning hall, there was a ticking sound of footsteps hitting the floor. Mrs. Hu looked over and saw someone she knew.

"Why are you here?" Mrs. Hu looked at Yang Chong who walked in, without any panic, only a hint of resentment.

"I came to see Madam. I was a little worried when I heard that you had encountered such a shocking incident." Yang Chong said as he came to Madam Hu's side.

"Am I stupid?" Mrs. Hu raised her head and looked at Yang Chong who was standing beside her.

"Madam is just pure-minded and doesn't know how dangerous the world is." Yang Chong said.

Mrs. Hu said, "I know now, and I won't be so stupid again."

"Madam, please accept my condolences." Yang Chong knelt down.

“Actually, I’m not sad. I never liked Liu Yi. I was just grateful for his protection over the years. But when he stabbed me with the sword, I no longer had any feelings for him. And Li Kai, he used to be the man I loved the most, but he lied to me from the beginning. Everything was fake. The things I cherished for so many years are just a joke.” Mrs. Hu was crying as she spoke. She felt aggrieved, weak, and filled with deep hatred.

"In a relationship between a man and a woman, whoever cares more will be hurt more deeply," said Yang Chong.

"Yes, but I have let it go now." Mrs. Hu murmured.

At this moment, Yang Chong completely understood why the devil had such a change in Mrs. Hu.

Yang Chong's purpose for coming here today was not pure.

"Are you afraid of that damn Liu Yi?" Mrs. Hu said with determination and madness.

"Afraid? Did Madam misunderstand something? I'm just... too excited, that's all."

……

"Where did Yang Chong go last night?" Ji Wuye asked Mo Ya while sitting in the carriage heading to the palace.

"After Yang Chong left the General's Mansion last night, he went to the Zuo Sima Mansion." Mo Ya replied with a strange look.

“Zuo Sima Mansion? Hiss…” Ji Wuye couldn’t help but gasp when he heard that.

As a general, he had played with many women, but playing like this? This was the first time Ji Wuye had heard of it.

"Hey!" Ji Wuye's expression became as weird as Mo Ya's. In the end, he could only say this one sentence, but then he burst into laughter.

"What kind of person is he?" Mo Ya was also thinking, after all, Yang Chong would be considered Ye Mu's man in the future.

"I didn't expect that." Ji Wuye said with a smile.

Chapter 89 The murderer was Yang Chong from Xiliu Village, Yang Chong from Guanxinzheng.

What is it?

Yang Chong left Zuo Sima's mansion in the early morning. The indulgent widow was indeed not easy to mess with, but correspondingly, it also allowed Yang Chong to experience a kind of happiness that he had never experienced with Jingwei. Both Jingwei and Yang Chong were pure theorists. In practice, they could not compare with Madam Hu, who had experienced it.

Afterwards, Yang Chong left Xinzheng and headed towards the agreed place. Now that the matter had been settled, he naturally could not let Yan Lingji sleep in the open air anymore. Soon Yang Chong saw Yan Lingji, who was idly fiddling with some weeds, and Tian Mi, who was busy roasting a rabbit.

"Done?" Seeing Yang Chong appear, Yan Lingji threw away the weeds in her hand, jumped up, and rushed in front of Yang Chong.

"Is there anything I can't handle?" Yang Chong said with a proud smile. It would be so boring if he couldn't show off his small achievements.

"I knew you were the best." Yan Lingji's eyes sparkled, as if she was conquered by you. The two of them had been together for so long that they had long become the closest people to each other in the world. Yan Lingji naturally knew what Yang Chong wanted to hear from her at this moment, and she was happy to satisfy Yang Chong's little hobby.

Although Yang Chong doted on Yan Lingji, Yan Lingji was also very fond of Yang Chong.

"It's just normal. We should remain humble and cautious." Yang Chong put his arm around Yan Lingji's waist and playfully touched her belly with his fingers.

"It's itchy." Yan Lingji pressed Yang Chong's hand that was doing something wrong.

"Are you okay these days?" Yang Chong could only stroke Yan Lingji's waist.

"Not bad, I eat well and sleep well." Yan Lingji said.

"If that's the case, should we stay here for a few more days?" Yang Chong asked.

"Okay, as long as you accompany me." Yan Lingji said. She didn't have any feelings for Xinzheng. She came here just because Yang Chong was coming here.

"Forget it. I have already bought a house in Xinzheng. We already have a home, so why should we live in the open air?" Yang Chong said.

"Home?" Hearing this word, Yan Lingji was slightly startled, then she smiled lightly and asked, "Our home?"

"Yes, our home." Yang Chong affirmed.

"Then I want a big room." Yan Lingji said.

"Then I want your room." Yang Chong said.

"You wish. I won't live with you." Yan Lingji glanced at Yang Chong. She knew what Yang Chong was thinking.

"But I can live with you." Yang Chong took over.

"Is there any difference?" Yan Lingji asked back.

"Isn't it okay for me to offer myself voluntarily?" Yang Chong said with a flattering tone.

"What's the difference? In the end, you benefit from it, don't you?" Yan Lingji broke away from Yang Chong and pointed at Tian Mi and said, "If you can't bear it anymore, go find Tian Mi. I think he should be willing to do it, don't you think? Tian Mi."

"Master, I dare not go before you." Tian Mi smiled sweetly. Between Yang Chong and Yan Lingji, she knew that Yan Lingji was more difficult to deal with because she was a more beautiful woman than her. She also knew that Yan Lingji was just being tough in words.

In Tian Mi's eyes, Yang Chong was also a fool. He always asked for Yan Lingji's opinion. Was it necessary to ask for her opinion? He just went ahead and did it. Yan Lingji, whose mind was completely on him, would refuse? He even asked for her opinion. It would be strange if Yan Lingji, who was arrogant and stubborn, would agree.

Tian Mi couldn't bear to watch the tug of war between Yang Chong and Yan Lingji. They both thought they were masters, but in fact they were just two novices.

"Is the rabbit roasted?" Yan Lingji asked. Perhaps because Tian Mi was knowledgeable in pharmacology, she was very good at controlling the seasonings for barbecue, so this kind of work fell to Tian Mi.

"It's almost done, we can eat it." Tian Mi said, shaking the golden roasted rabbit in her hand.

"Then let's eat. I'm starving."

The Palace of King Han, above the court.

"Your Majesty, today I have discovered a talented person and would like to recommend him to Your Majesty." Ji Wuye, a great general, rarely took action in person.

"A good talent? Anyone who can be called a good talent by the general must be extraordinary. I just don't know who can catch the general's eye?" asked Han Wangan, who was sitting on the throne.

"This man's name is Yang Chong. He has excellent martial arts skills and is almost as good as mine." Ji Wuye said.

"There is such a person? The general is already the strongest general in Korea in the past hundred years, yet there is actually someone who can compete with the general in martial arts?" Han Wangan said calmly. He was analyzing what Ji Wuye wanted to do.

"Yang Chong has great talent and had a fortuitous encounter, so he learned a lot of martial arts. The army needs such talents." Ji Wuye said.

"In the army?" Han Wangan was shocked when he heard this word. Liu Yi had just died, and the position of Zuo Sima was temporarily vacant. Was Ji Wuye going to put his own people in this position? And who was Yang Chong? He was a wanted criminal in South Korea. Could it be that Ji Wuye was so arrogant that he dared to tie the position of Zuo Sima to a wanted criminal like Yang Chong?

Han Wangan would never allow such a thing. Zuo Sima was in charge of 10,000 elite soldiers, and was an important means for Han Wangan to balance Ji Wuye's power in Xinzheng. He would never let Ji Wuye get involved in the position of Zuo Sima. Otherwise, in the whole Xinzheng, Han Wangan would only be able to control a few thousand soldiers in the Han Palace, and then he, as a king, would be in great danger.

"General, if I heard correctly, the Yang Chong you are talking about is not the one who killed Captain Zhang Wu of Yangdi?" The Prime Minister stepped forward and said.

"Is it that Yang Chong?" Han Wangan cooperated and opened his mouth.

"Your Majesty, there are more than one person named Yang Chong in our Han State. Yang Chong from Xiaxiliu Village, Yangdi County, killed someone. What does this have to do with Yang Chong in Xinzheng? The Yang Chong I am talking about grew up in Xinzheng since childhood. He is definitely not the wanted criminal Yang Chong." Ji Wuye argued.

It would have been better if Ji Wuye didn't know, as King Han was not sure whether the Yang Chong he was talking about was the Yang Chong who killed officials. But when he said this, his cunning look was telling King Han An nakedly that the Yang Chong from Xinzheng was the Yang Chong from Xiliu Village.

"Yeah yeah!"

"The general is right"

Upon seeing this, some of Ji Wuye's people in the court quickly agreed. It didn't matter whether what Ji Wuye said was true or false, they just had to agree. As long as they could discern and think, it didn't matter.

"Since the general admires Yang Chong so much, what position do you think is more suitable for me to assign to him?" Seeing that many people in the court agreed with Ji Wuye, King Han An could only hold back his anger and said.

"Your Majesty, the safety of the entire Han State rests on your shoulders. Because your safety is of vital importance, you must use the most elite and bravest warriors to guard the safety of the royal city. I believe that Yang Chong is a man of great martial arts skills and is suitable for the position of commander of Sima Gate. With him guarding Sima Gate for Your Majesty, Your Majesty can rest assured." Ji Wuye said.

"Commander Sima Men?" Han Wangan's eyes narrowed when he heard this.

As a royal palace, the Palace of King Han is actually a small city. There are twelve palace gates in the east, south, west and north, but among these twelve palace gates, the most important one is Sima Gate.
