Luowang, although Yan Lingji had never had direct contact with it, she knew what kind of organization it was. If someone else was targeted by Luowang, they would have probably fallen into chaos due to worry and fear, but Yang Chong obviously did not.
"No, I'm not unlucky. On the contrary, I'm extremely lucky." Yang Chong said.
"You've been targeted by Luowang, and you still think you're lucky?" Yan Lingji sneered, thinking that Yang Chong was just being stubborn.
"Of course, you will understand it later." Yang Chong looked into the distance and saw a convoy passing through the stone road in the mountains in the distance, with the sound of carriages and horses rumbling.
"What is that?" Yan Lingji suppressed the doubts in her heart and followed Yang Chong's gaze to look at the convoy in the distance.
"It should be the taxes sent from all over Korea to Xinzheng. It's really the way of man, making up for the deficit with the surplus." Yang Chong replied.
As Yang Chong was speaking, a figure deep in his soul trembled slightly, as if there was a slight change, but when Yang Chong looked, he found nothing and thought it was just his illusion.
Chapter 20 Return
"You're talking nonsense. People from you seven countries just like to say these kinds of nonsense that no one can understand." Yan Lingji said sarcastically.
"Illiterate." Yang Chong retorted. For the time being, he had no plans to seduce Yan Lingji, so how could he be a bootlicker?
"I'm not illiterate, I'm a barbarian!" Yan Lingji glared and said angrily.
"Let's go, let's go, it's time to go home." Yang Chong greeted, the word "barbarian" was not easy to respond to.
"You are not my master yet." Yan Lingji frowned. She didn't like the feeling of being ordered around, and what was Yang Chong's attitude just now?
"So, Yang Chong, please let the beauty go first," Yang Chong asked back.
"That's more like it." Yan Lingji, who was always obedient, changed her color.
In the most luxurious mansion in Xiliu Village, Yang Lin paced back and forth anxiously. Yang Chong had disappeared. All the people who had entered Dalong Mountain to hunt had returned, but Yang Chong had not. What was the reason?
Could it be that he knew something? Thinking of this, Yang Lin became even more irritated. He had been planning on Yang Chong for sixteen years, and now the danger was imminent. He was about to use Yang Chong, but Yang Chong disappeared, disappeared in Dalong Mountain. His planning for more than ten years was about to go down the drain. How could he not be anxious?
"Brother Yang, don't worry. I think Yang Chong's martial arts are pretty good. The jackals, tigers and leopards in Dalong Mountain can't threaten him." Qin Ming, who was called in again to inquire about Yang Chong, looked at the anxious Yang Lin and could only comfort him.
"It's easy to guard against jackals, tigers and leopards, but it's hard to predict the human heart!" Yang Lin sighed. Of course, he couldn't tell Qin Ming the real reason for his anxiety. He could only pretend to be a father who cared about his son who had been away for a long time.
"Alas, this matter is also my fault. I thought at that time that with Yang Chong's ability, he should not encounter any accidents in Dalong Mountain. But I never thought that Yang Chong would actually... However, Yang Chong should just be playing around and may not have encountered any danger." Qin Ming said with a worried look on his face. After all, it was he who brought Yang Chong into Dalong Mountain. Until now, Yang Chong has not returned. If he really encountered an accident, how could he not be responsible and how could his conscience be at peace.
"How can you be blamed for this? Yang Chong is just willful." Yang Lin waved his hands and denied it.
While Yang Lin was feeling anxious because of Yang Chong's disappearance, there was also a girl in the house who was feeling uneasy.
"The young master will be fine. He is so powerful, so smart, and so lucky. How could he encounter any danger? Besides, even if the young master encounters danger, he will be able to turn it into safety." In the backyard, Jiang Nu was washing clothes that had started to smell rotten because they had not been worn for a long time. She let her little hands turn red from the cold in the wooden basin, and her little face was wrinkled with worry.
Yang Chong had been in the mountains for a long, long time. Now it was snowing heavily, so hunting was obviously impossible. But Yang Chong had not returned yet. What was holding him back? Jiang Nu thought about it, and became more and more irritated. She increased the speed of washing clothes in her hands. However, in less than a moment, the little girl was already panting with exhaustion.
Ms. Jiang threw her clothes aside in annoyance, looked at her reflection in the water, and suddenly thought of something.
"Oh no, could old man Li have starved to death?" Thinking of Yang Chong, Jiang Nu suddenly remembered the instructions Yang Chong gave her before he left. However, she had been worried about Yang Chong's safety during this period and had forgotten his instructions.
Thinking of the tragedy that the lame old man Li might starve to death because of her negligence, Jiang Nu's face turned pale and she quickly ran to the room to look for something.
In fact, this is not Jiang Nu's fault. In Xiliu Village, Old Man Li was an outsider. Without any relatives or friends, who would take care of him? It was just that Yang Chong was at the age of wild imagination at that time, and his subconscious was affected by the unawakened memories of his previous life, so he regarded Old Man Li as some kind of master and took great care of him.
As for Jiang Nu, Old Man Li was just a sloppy, lame old man who ate and drank for free. If it weren't for Yang Chong, she would not have wanted to have any contact with such a person.
But since it was Yang Chong's instruction, Jiang Nu felt that if she forgot, she would disappoint her young master. Besides, it was a human life. If anything unexpected happened due to her negligence, she would not be able to feel at ease.
Miss Jiang here collected some dry food, and then thought of her negligence, so she simply took out some of her own private money and bought a rooster from a familiar family. Then she carried more than 20 kilograms of things and walked towards the dilapidated house at the entrance of the village.
"You little girl, you were having fun when your master was not at home. You almost starved me to death. I thought I wouldn't even have a full meal before I died." Old man Li blamed Jiang Nu while looking at the rooster squatting in the clay pot.
"I forgot for a moment because I was worried about the young master. The young master has been out for two months! The people who went hunting with him came back a long time ago." Jiang Nu said embarrassedly. She was indeed in the wrong in this matter.
"Your young master is very cunning. He can turn danger into safety even when he encounters danger. There is no need for a little girl like you to worry about him." Old man Li said, not knowing whether he was comforting or mocking.
"Is the young master really okay?" Miss Jiang asked. She certainly didn't think that Old Man Li knew about Yang Chong's current condition. She just needed to find a reason to confirm that Yang Chong was fine. This reason could be a casual remark from others.
"Of course it's okay. Your young master will be very happy when he comes back. He may even bring you a gift." Old man Li said with certainty. Yang Chong had not come back for such a long time, and old man Li could naturally guess why Yang Chong was like this.
Yang Chong must have gone to find that cave, and he would definitely unravel the secret of that cave. How could he not be in a good mood after getting such benefits? Of course, the premise is that he could get the secret of that cave while being safe.
"As long as the young master can come back safely, I don't need any gifts. It's just that the young master can really... No, no, the young master must be able to come back safely." Miss Jiang hesitated for just a moment, and her eyes turned firm.
"You are very loyal." Old man Li smiled, his eyes drifting to the earthenware jar in front of him. It was already smelling good and almost cooked. It would be too miserable to be a starving ghost. Fortunately, he didn't have to worry about this problem at this time.
"Grandpa Li, why did you stew the whole chicken? You should save some food." Reassured, Jiang Nu now had the leisure to care about the rooster she had bought.
"I can't eat many meals now, so what should I save? Leave them for ghosts to eat?" Old man Li asked.
He had a premonition that he would not survive this winter, so he had to eat up any delicious food as soon as possible, otherwise it would have to be placed on his grave. But by then, what would be the point of these things?
Chapter 21 A loving father and a filial son
"Is this your home?" On a small hill, Yan Lingji looked at the village in the distance and couldn't help but become more suspicious of Yang Chong.
Could there be any real dragon hiding in such a place? Did Yang Chong really know the whereabouts of those Baiyue people?
"Small seclusion is in the wild, the most ordinary place can hide big secrets." Yang Chong said.
His understanding of the Red-browed Dragon Snake was based on his memories as a time traveler, but Yang Chong absolutely could not tell such a reason, so he could only use the illusory Six Tribes of Emperor Yan as an excuse. However, it did not seem easy to gain the trust of Yan Lingji.
"That's true. Since it's a treasure, the more ordinary it is, the better." Yan Lingji nodded, agreeing with Yang Chong's explanation.
"Of course, being ordinary is something only someone like me can achieve, but you absolutely can't." Yang Chong looked at Yan Lingji in front of him. Of course, the look was just a pretense, and Yang Chong's real purpose was to directly appreciate Yan Lingji's beauty.
"Huh? Why is this? Why can't I do it?" Yan Lingji didn't hate Yang Chong's gaze. After all, Yang Chong had seen more intuitive things before and even measured them with his hands. Now Yan Lingji was only curious about Yang Chong's words.
"How can you be ordinary if you just stand there?" Yang Chong said.
Although there was no word "beautiful" in his words, Yan Lingji's charm was fully expressed. There is no woman in the world who doesn't like to be told that she is beautiful by someone she doesn't hate. So at this moment, Yan Lingji's eyes were already bent with a smile, her thin lips were slightly raised, her watery blue eyes were full of light, and she looked like water: "You have a good eye."
"So you have to hide well." Yang Chong went on. This was his real purpose. If he brought Yan Lingji back directly, God knew what kind of trouble it would cause. Yang Chong himself was already in trouble. If the cause and effect of Yan Lingji were added, he really couldn't imagine how he would survive.
After all, in Korea, the threat of Night is no less than Luowang. Although Luowang is strong now, it is not at its strongest. As a parasite on the body of Qin, Luowang's peak moment was after Qin unified the world. Now? It is not that strong yet.
In Korea, you still have to watch the night scene.
"So I want to hide!" Yan Lingji nodded, and then said in a long tone: "Hey, this is your purpose, right?"
But she realized that Yang Chong's praise was probably a prelude to asking her to hide.
"You have a keen eye." Yang Chong followed Yan Lingji's words.
"Really, but you are not honest at all. However, my eyes are really full of fire. If you dare to lie to me, be careful." Yan Lingji gritted her teeth. What? Do I look like a fool? I actually let you seduce me with such shallow words.
"I know." Yang Chong looked directly into Yan Lingji's eyes. Her azure eyes were crystal clear. How could a person with such clear eyes have any complicated thoughts?
After settling Yan Lingji outside the village, Yang Chongxin walked into the village. As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the village, he met an acquaintance. Amidst a burst of concern, Yang Chong was able to get away and walk towards his home. At this time, Yang Lin had also received the news and rushed out directly from the inner house.
In the sight of the villagers, he grabbed Yang Chong's arm, his eyes were earnest and his expression was moving: "My son, you are back. I was worried to death."
"I encountered a small accident and made my father worried." Yang Chong said with some embarrassment that only teenagers would have, but he was already very fed up in his heart. He knew that Yang Lin didn't care about his life or death. What he was really worried about was that if he didn't come back, there would be no one to be the scapegoat for their family.
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm glad you're back, I'm glad you're back." Yang Lin naturally didn't know what was going on in Yang Chong's mind. At this moment, he and Yang Chong looked like a loving father and a filial son.
"Go home quickly, go home quickly. My son has suffered a lot in the mountains recently. Look at the wind and snow. Your father is so heartbroken." Without saying a word, Yang Lin pulled Yang Chong and walked towards the house.
The time when Yang Chong was missing had given him a reminder that Yang Chong had grown up, and it was impossible to completely control Yang Chong like before. Of course, he had vaguely realized this before, so he arranged for Yang Chong to get married. After all, the best way to control a person is to grasp his weakness. If that person has no weakness, then help that person grow one, and the newlywed wife is the weakness that Yang Lin prepared for Yang Chong.
But Yang Lin would never have imagined that the weak spot he prepared for Yang Chong was not a weak spot at all, but a newt, and a mermaid at that, with a mouth full of bloodthirsty teeth.
The village was small, so Yang Chong quickly returned to his familiar courtyard.
"My son met a master in the mountains?" Yang Lin, who had already learned some information from Yang Chong during the conversation, asked in surprise.
Over the years, he only let Yang Chong learn some basic external martial arts, and did not teach him their family's unique skills. However, he never thought that Yang Chong would have such a fortuitous encounter.
“It should be a master. That master taught me a palm technique called Heart-Destroying Palm. I heard it is very powerful.” Yang Chong said like a stupid son of a landlord.
The best way to hide a lie is to use three parts of the truth to disguise seven parts of lies. Yang Chong understood this truth. Yang Lin knew martial arts, and it would be difficult to hide the fact that he had practiced the Nine Yin Scriptures in front of him. But it was impossible to admit it. In this way, it would be a good idea to take the initiative to tell the secret of the Heart Destroying Palm in the Nine Yin Scriptures. Anyway, the Heart Destroying Palm was his weakest martial art now, and the Nine Yin White Bone Claw was his killing weapon. Even if Yang Lin knew the secret of the Heart Destroying Palm, it would not be a big deal.
"Heart-Destroying Palm? This kind of palm technique doesn't seem to be a righteous martial art." Yang Lin frowned.
Variables, variables!
"It's just that the name sounds bad. There is no such thing as righteous or evil palm techniques. When I become a peerless master, it will be a great martial art." Yang Chong said confidently.
"A peerless master?" Yang Lin's eyes twitched. Yang Chong's ignorance made him let down his guard.
This is good, it makes them look more like each other! Yang Lin thought to himself that although he had tried hard to create the illusion that Yang Chong was his biological son over the years, he had not taught Yang Chong anything in terms of martial arts. It was not that he did not know that this was a possible flaw, but that he was unwilling to pass on the only remaining thoughts of the Lu family to Yang Chong.
But what was surprising was that Yang Chong had actually obtained martial arts from other channels. Although the Heart-Destroying Palm sounded like a sinister martial art, it was still a martial art after all!
Chapter 22: Night Raid of Yan Lingji (Please read and recommend)
While the father and son were talking, they had already walked into the hall. At this time, Jiang Nu was preparing meals with the cook. It seemed that because Yang Chong had been away for a long time, the meals prepared were extremely rich, especially in a small place like Xiliu Village, it was even more luxurious.
There is all kinds of meat, including mutton, chicken and fish. As for beef, forget it. You can’t eat it.
"Ms. Jiang, you've grown up again!" Yang Chong pulled over the little maid who was about to return to the kitchen. After a long separation, the originally quiet Ms. Jiang looked even more charming in Yang Chong's eyes. Of course, maybe it was just because the fire in Yang Chong's heart was ignited by Yan Lingji, which made him feel a certain bonus when looking at Ms. Jiang.
"Really?" Jiang was delighted to hear that. She was still at the age of growing up and cared about this the most.
"Of course, but we'll have to wait until tonight to see how much it has grown." Yang Chong took the opportunity to whisper in Jiang Nu's ear.
Although it can't be eaten, it doesn't mean that it can't be played with. It should still be good. Yang Chong, who has long been led astray by the decadent values of this world, can no longer suppress his nature.
"Why at night?" Jiang Nv asked puzzledly, her expression mostly confused, but of course there was a little expectation that she didn't understand but existed.
"We'll talk about this tonight." Yang Chong smiled meaningfully. After working hard in the mountains for several months, it was time to enjoy himself. Of course, enjoyment was one thing, but indulgence was absolutely not allowed.
Jiang Nu, who was a little confused by the two nights, wanted to ask more, but Yang Lin on the other side did not give Yang Chong a chance.
"Ms. Jiang, don't just sit here and do nothing. Go help Mrs. Zhang." Yang Lin saw that Ms. Jiang was being lazy and scolded her.
"Yes, that's right." Jiang Nu shuddered with fear when she heard that and ran away quickly. She was still very afraid of Yang Lin because Yang Lin was the leader of their village. Otherwise, she would not have been a maid in the home of the Yang family, a rich country man. Whoever is in your own home is a treasure, right?
Seeing that Yang Chong's eyes were always on Jiang Nu, Yang Lin said, "If you like Jiang Nu, just take her into your room after you get married."
"Isn't this a bit a bit embarrassing?" Yang Chong pretended to be embarrassed.
"What's the big deal? Her father owes me so much money and he can't pay it back. Using his daughter to pay off the debt is a good deal for her." Yang Lin said nonchalantly. This is probably what a so-called landlord bully is like. Lending money is a necessary process for every landlord to grow and develop.
"Father, aren't we supposed to be good people?" Yang Chong said as if he was very young and naive.
"Will you treat Ms. Jiang badly in the future?" Yang Lin asked back.
"That won't happen." Yang Chong denied. He is a good man.
"That's it. Alas, in the blink of an eye, you are all going to get married and have children. Time flies so fast." Yang Lin suddenly became sad.
