When I was in Qin Dynasty, I really didn't want to make progress

Yang Chong naturally didn't know that Zi Nu had regarded him as a weirdo. He hurried back home and went straight to the bedroom.

"You're back?" In the darkness, Yan Lingji stretched out her hand and held up a ball of fire to illuminate Yang Chong.

"I'm back, let's go to sleep." Yang Chong jumped onto the bed and got into the quilt.

"Ah." Yan Lingji instinctively dodged to the inside, but was still held in Yang Chong's arms.

"Let's take a break." Yang Chong whispered in Yan Lingji's ear.

"Okay." Yan Lingji took a deep breath and found that she was not as nervous as she had imagined.

As the two hugged each other, feeling each other's breath, Yan Lingji felt it was pretty good. Yang Chong did not take any further action, but just hugged her, and soon a slight snoring sound was heard.

"This is great." In the darkness, Yan Lingji looked at Yang Chong who had fallen asleep and arched her head towards Yang Chong's shoulder. She was also sleepy.

The early morning sun shone into the room, creating a hazy glow on the floor.

Yan Lingji's eyelashes trembled, and then slowly opened their eyes. She slept soundly and peacefully. She had never slept as peacefully as she did last night. However, she felt uncomfortable all over, and she could not move her hands and feet.

Yan Lingji is a person who likes freedom. She hates the feeling of being bound. But at this moment, Yan Lingji does not feel disgusted with the comfort on her body. Instead, she likes it very much, because she knows that those restraints are nothing but Yang Chong holding her hands and feet.

"Ha..." Yan Lingji yawned deeply and hugged Yang Chong tightly. It was still early and she didn't want to get up.

Sharing a bed together is pretty good. Yan Lingji slowly closed her eyes, feeling very comfortable, a sense of peace and stability she had never experienced before.

At this moment, the two of them did nothing but sleep in each other's arms, but Yan Lingji felt that she was more obsessed than when they were intimate.

Just when Yan Lingji fell asleep again in a daze, Yang Chong had already woken up. He pulled out his hand that was being squeezed by Yan Lingji. Yang Chong opened the curtain and could feel the presence of sunlight between his skin. It was daybreak and it was time to get up.

Yang Chong's action startled Yan Lingji: "Are you going to get up?"

"I have to stand guard now. After all, I have a job now." Yang Chong said as he sat up.

"Stand guard? Go to King Han's palace?" Yan Lingji asked. She didn't know what the job was, but she could understand standing guard.

"Yeah, I didn't expect that in a new world, I would still have to do such things. Interesting, interesting." Yang Chong smiled. He didn't think there was anything humiliating about going to Sima Gate to serve. On the contrary, he had a slight expectation. He could find some similar feelings in similar things. That was his life in his previous life. Although he couldn't say that he liked it, he missed it to some extent.

"Well, I almost forgot that King Han An is really a big shot." Yan Lingji also struggled to crawl over Yang Chong's body and sat down beside the bed.

Yan Lingji, who was only wearing a small shirt on her upper body, showed her smooth back in front of Yang Chong, faintly visible under her long hair. The almost perfect curve was gathered into a line at the waist, and then expanded to both sides in a circular shape, leading to another beauty.

Yang Chong admired the beautiful scenery in front of him and for a moment he had no intention of getting up. The feeling of falling asleep and waking up together was really good, far better than just physical indulgence.

Yan Lingji put on her coat and tied her belt casually, then walked to the clothes rack beside her, on which hung Yang Chong's clothes and the well-made armor. However, in Yan Lingji's opinion, the armor was a little ugly. Although it was bright silver, Yan Lingji did not like this color.

"Should I wear this?" Yan Lingji asked Yang Chong after picking up a set of clean inner clothes.

"Yes." Yang Chong responded lazily. After sleeping in the same bed for a night, Yan Lingji seemed to become more gentle. Although she was not the wild and charming that Yang Chong was familiar with, this gentleness that belonged to him was more intoxicating. The former Yan Lingji could be as charming as fire or as gentle as water, but that kind of Yan Lingji was beautiful but always gave people a false feeling. The Yan Lingji that Yang Chong was looking at now was the real Yan Lingji, who had let down all her guard and whose every frown and smile came from the heart.

"Hey, do you really think you are the master?" Seeing Yang Chong waiting for her clothes lazily, Yan Lingji could no longer maintain her image as a good wife and mother, which had lasted for only three minutes, and said angrily with a puffed face.

"It's because I see that you are so gentle and considerate that I want to cooperate with you!" Yang Chong laughed and jumped up from the bed. With a flash, he appeared next to Yan Lingji and took the inner clothes from her.

"I am who I am. I won't be a good wife or mother." Yan Lingji glared at Yang Chong and said, but she couldn't help but feel relieved in her heart. In fact, if Yang Chong really liked her like that, she would cooperate with Yang Chong. It's just that after a long time, she would not care about it to some extent.

Fortunately, Yang Chong is still the same Yang Chong.

"So Yan Lingji will always be Yan Lingji. You don't have to learn from anyone else." Yang Chong, who had put on his inner clothes, pinched Yan Lingji's little face and shook it. Yan Lingji's head could only shake with it. When she turned her head to the side, her cute eyes revealed a kind of clear stupidity that made Yang Chong laugh.

Yan Lingji, who always calls herself a witch, is actually simpler than most women. Her eyes are cleaner and clearer than most people's.

"Of course I know." Yan Lingji broke free from Yang Chong, touched the cheek that was pinched just now, gnashed her teeth, and looked at Yang Chong now. She really wanted to take a bite!

Chapter 95: Red Lotus Needs to Grow a Brain

"Go and stand guard well. I'll wait for you to come back." Yan Lingji leaned on the door frame and said to Yang Chong with a smile, just like a wife who asked her husband to "work" well. However, she emphasized the word "stand guard" in her tone, which made her request have other meanings.

"Just be naughty." Yang Chong patted Yan Lingji's shoulder helplessly. She, who once thought of herself as a big sister, now seems to enjoy this status and is getting smaller and smaller.

"Let's go quickly. Be careful that Han Wangan may find a reason to make things difficult for you. You are Ji Wuye's man now." Yan Lingji moved aside and urged Yang Chongdao.

"We have to go, but before we leave, we have one thing to do." The hand that Yang Chong had patted on Yan Lingji's shoulder had turned into a hug.

"What is it?" Yan Lingji asked curiously.

"Of course it's a kiss of blessing." Yang Chong said without giving Yan Lingji time to react, and had already bitten her thin and soft lips.

"I knew it would be like this." Yan Lingji muttered, but still responded very cooperatively. Perhaps she had already gotten used to it, or perhaps it was because they slept in the same bed together last night that made her open up the last layer of her guard. This time, Yan Lingji was particularly submissive. Although she was not as fierce as fire, she was as gentle as flowing water.

"Okay, okay, I'm leaving. Just wait for me to come back." Yang Chong, feeling the sweet taste in his lips, let go of Yan Lingji, waved his hand, and walked forward.

"Be good? Will I?" Yan Lingji looked at Yang Chong's departing back, chuckled, then leaned lazily against the door frame, watching Yang Chong's back become blurred little by little until it disappeared at the end of the street.

"Is this home? It feels really good." Yan Lingji smiled, she felt that the current state of getting along with Yang Chong was still a little strange, but this feeling...

There is no need for sweet words or fiery passion, all that matters is spontaneity. There is no need to consider the other person's feelings, all that matters is spiritual ease and satisfaction in the ordinary.

"Tian Mi, life is so good now." Yan Lingji, who could no longer see Yang Chong's back, withdrew her gaze and walked back to the yard.

"If the master thinks it's good, then it's really good." Tian Mi replied with a smile, but in her heart she had a completely different idea.

What's good about such a life? A small courtyard? A small official position? Standing guard in the palace? Tian Mi sneered at what Yan Lingji said was good.

Although I have evil intentions, I must admit that you are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. You have a charm that is enough to amaze the world, and you have powerful martial arts, but you like to stay in a small courtyard like this, waiting for your husband to come back like an ordinary woman? It's simply a waste of your talent. Tian Mi looked at Yan Lingji with disdain in her heart.

In Tian Mi's opinion, if she had the charm and martial arts of Yan Lingji, she would have become the head of the sixth hall in the farming family, and could even have aspired to the position of the chief hero. How could she just be a little woman waiting for her husband to return?

Unfortunately, Yan Lingji is so disappointing. All she wants is someone who can make her feel at ease and whom she can rely on.

"That's all, ha. Let's go back and have some sleep first." Yan Lingji stretched and walked towards the bedroom. She would still have to practice after waking up. Yang Chong had a lot of things to do, and she had to help. Martial arts was Yan Lingji's best asset now.

"I will definitely succeed. A woman like her has too many weaknesses." Tian Mi looked at Yan Lingji's lazy back with fire flashing in her eyes. If the previous Yan Lingji made her feel heavy pressure, then the current Yan Lingji seemed to her to be full of flaws.

Yan Lingji was really too relaxed.

When Yan Lingji was already sleeping on the bed, Yang Chong also came to King Han's palace. After verifying his identity, Yang Chong also saw his future "position".

This Sima Gate Commander is really standing guard! Yang Chong looked at the palace gate and the guards in front of him and complained secretly. It seems that he can only pursue progress as soon as possible. Whoever likes to do the guarding can do it. Anyway, Yang Chong will never let himself do it for too long.

Yang Chong, standing on the watchtower of the palace wall, leaned on the railing and looked at Xinzheng in front of him, wondering how his plan in Xinzheng would unfold.

It was calculated that the ghost soldiers were about to rob the money, so he should start with the 100,000 taels of gold, and take advantage of the situation. After all, it was necessary to spend money for future things, and money was also a man's waist. Yang Chong thought about it and decided to get the money first.

By the way, there is also the boss of Zilanxuan. Although there are many smart people in Xinzheng City, people like Han Fei and Zhang Liang are even famous in history, but no matter how powerful they are, they can never be used by Yang Chong.

But Zi Nu is different. She is a woman and smart enough. Of course, she is also very rich. Most importantly, Yang Chong can take advantage of her.

There is also the matter of cultivation, but to practice Fuxi Shentianxiang one must first be proficient in music, which is a bit troublesome. One also needs to practice music in advance, and a teacher is indispensable. Who can one ask for advice on music?

A lot of noisy thoughts flashed through Yang Chong's mind.

"That's Yang Chong, Ji Wuye's lackey?" While Yang Chong was planning his own affairs while on official business, a girl in pink palace clothes was observing him inside the palace wall.

"Princess, he is Yang Chong. I have already asked him." A little palace maid said mysteriously.

"Well, he looks like a decent human being, but why did he join that ugly guy Ji Wuye." Honglian put her hand on her forehead. She heard from her brother Han Fei that doing so would help her see further.

Honglian had heard about Ji Wuye and Yang Chong from her father before. Honglian, who could obviously feel the anger from her father, naturally thought that Ji Wuye and Yang Chong had offended her father. Honglian felt that she could not deal with a man like Ji Wuye, but she felt that she could still deal with a small commander of the Sima Sect.

Honglian, the princess of Korea and the apple of the eye of King Han An, has grown up and it is time for her to share the worries of her father.

"Princess, that's not how things work." The palace maid listened to Honglian mumbling and reminded her in a low voice.

"How could I not know?" Honglian, who was thinking about her revenge plan, was interrupted. She was angry and looked at the palace maid viciously. "You are so smart, aren't you? You interrupted my good thoughts. I had almost thought of it just now."

"Princess." The maid felt a little aggrieved, but there was nothing she could do. After all, she was a maid and she was the princess.

"Shut up and don't disturb me." Honglian scolded. Where is her dignity as a princess?

"Yes, yes, yes." Seeing that Honglian was really angry, the palace maid hurriedly smiled and said.

As Han Wangan's favorite daughter, Honglian's personality is not very good. Her willful nature makes her like a little devil in the palace. In the eyes of people like Han Wangan, Honglian may be cute, but palace maids like them suffer greatly from her. How dare she offend Princess Honglian?

"What should I do?" Honglian muttered. She was smart, but she didn't have much wisdom. She had an intuition about what was going on in the court, but there were many other things that she couldn't analyze.

Honglian scratched his head and felt his scalp itchy. He had some ideas but couldn't grasp the key.

……

When the moon was high in the sky, Yang Chong finally waited until the time came to get off duty. After completing the handover with a deputy commander of Sima Gate, Yang Chong changed into casual clothes and left Han Wangan. As for who the deputy commander was, Yang Chong did not know the details, but only vaguely heard that he was a member of the Zhang family.

There are so many wealthy and powerful families in Xinzheng that any one of them has a great background, but that's all.

Yang Chong walked on the street, slowly heading towards Zilanxuan, which was a good place.

All Yang Chong can rely on now is his own martial arts, and Fuxi Shentian Xiang is the most advanced martial arts in the world, so how could Yang Chong waste it? However, to practice Fuxi Shentian Xiang, one must first learn the art of playing the zither, which Yang Chong knows nothing about, so he needs to find a teacher. In the whole Xinzheng, is there any zither player who has the attainments of Zi Lan Xuan Nong Yu in playing the zither?

Alas, I didn’t expect that one day I would have to study, study, study... Yang Chong thought aimlessly, and soon Zi Lan Xuan appeared in front of him.

"Sister, I suspect that guy came just for you." In the corridor on the top floor, Caidie looked at Yang Chong who was walking through the lobby. He came here yesterday and came again today. Wasn't he here to have fun? Didn't he think that he had too much money and had no place to spend it?

"Don't talk nonsense. He is Ji Wuye's man now. It is hard to say whether he is an enemy or a friend. Don't act rashly and don't expose our background." Zi Nu stopped Cai Die who wanted to say something.

Caidie only thought of Yang Chong as the country youth she met by the river that day, but Zinu knew more. She was not sure about the true character of a man who had surrendered to Ji Wuye and whose purpose was unclear, especially since such a person was regarded as an opponent by Wei Zhuang.

"Him?" Caidie was stunned. Was it really that complicated? She just regarded Yang Chong as an interesting person, but Sister Zinu was telling her that Yang Chong was a dangerous person.

"Don't do anything rash because of your curiosity." Zi Nu warned. She found that Cai Die seemed to be particularly curious about Yang Chong because of her. This was not a good thing, especially for the women of Zi Lan Xuan.

"Sister, I remember." Seeing that Sister Zinu was serious, Caidie quickly put away her intention of watching the fun.

It is not easy for Sister Zi Nu to maintain and run Zi Lan Xuan. Cai Die knows that what she should do is to help Sister Zi Nu instead of hindering her.

Chapter 96: People who learn from a master in the land of romance

On the third floor of Zi Lan Xuan, Nong Yu opened the door holding her zither. There was no unruly sound in the room that Nong Yu was familiar with, nor was there the smell of alcohol filling her sense of smell. There was only silence.

In other places, such a room would not make people have any thoughts, but in Zi Lan Xuan, such a box made Nong Yu secretly alert. Zi Lan Xuan welcomed and sent off too many people, and some things could not be solved by her saying that she would only sell her art but not her body. Even with Zi Nu's protection, Nong Yu often encountered difficulties in such a place.

Zi Lan Xuan was a place of romance and pleasure. In such a place, which woman could say that she could stay away from trouble? Moreover, Nong Yu was not an ordinary woman. Although she was the youngest among all the women in Zi Lan Xuan, her appearance was among the best. She was also good at music, so she was very famous in Zi Lan Xuan at a young age.

Today, she was pointed at again. Although she didn't like this kind of life, she also knew that it was extremely difficult for Sister Zi Nu to provide a place to live for the sisters. How could she ignore Sister Zi Nu's hard work just because of her own ideas?

Nong Yu breathed a sigh of relief. Today's guests were a bit strange, and there might be trouble again.

Taking a few steps forward, Nanyue saw the guests from the past few days.

"Miss Nanyue is here?" Before Nanyue could say anything, the guest had already spoken. There was no politeness, no flattery, and no condescending scrutiny. There was only a sense of calmness. Nanyue had met all kinds of guests and heard all kinds of ways of greeting, but today's guest surprised her a little. This kind of calmness carried a kind of incomprehensible familiar greeting.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time." Nanyue bowed slightly while holding the zither and walked towards the table beside her. However, she couldn't help but glance at the guest sitting at the upper seat out of the corner of her eye.

This was a very young guest, not much older than her, a very quiet and clean young man. Nongyu didn't feel that she disliked such a person.

After kneeling down, Nongyu adjusted the strings of the zither and then asked the guest, "What song would you like to listen to today, sir?"

"I'm not here to listen to the music today." Yang Chong looked at Nong Yu in front of him. She was still dressed the same as last time, and she exuded a very clean and quiet aura. She didn't give people a stunning feeling, but she was very attractive. She was the kind of girl who became more beautiful the more you looked at her. Her beauty was not a visual experience, but a kind of beauty that could be felt in the soul.

Yang Chong thought about it and found it difficult to find the right words to describe the beauty of Nong Yu due to his lack of knowledge about this world. If he had to find a word to describe the charm of Nong Yu, Yang Chong could only use the description from his previous life: This was a boy in middle school. He was impatient with his teacher's long lecture, and his sight turned to the window as his mind wandered. He happened to see a very quiet girl passing by the window. Although he did not know her, she decorated his boring teenage years.

"Master, I'm just the zither player of Zi Lan Xuan. I'm not responsible for other things. If you have any other requests, I can call other sisters." Nanyue replied with a faint smile, but there was more vigilance in her eyes. Was she really coming with bad intentions?

"Miss Nongyu, you have misunderstood. My name is Yang Chong. I currently live in Xinzheng and work as the commander of the Sima Gate." Yang Chong took the initiative to introduce himself. The last time he came, he used the same appearance he used when he approached Madam Hu, but Nongyu did not recognize him.

"Commander of the Sima Gate, Yang Chong?" Hearing Yang Chong's self-introduction, Nanyue was a little surprised. She had heard the name Yang Chong from Caidie. Was he the weirdo that Sister Caidie mentioned, the one who had expressed his love to Sister Zinu?

Nanyue then looked at Yang Chong seriously. He did not look like those noble sons of Xinzheng, but he did not look like a country boy either. There was no air of nobility or roughness about him. Instead, he had a natural aura that was neither overbearing nor overly enthusiastic. He gave people a very comfortable feeling.

“Although Sima Mentong’s official rank is not high, his position is extremely important. Yet he described him as a servant. This is almost how the waiters in Zi Lan Xuan introduced themselves. So, he is not as serious as he looks.” Nong Yu analyzed quickly from Yang Chong’s limited words. In a place like Zi Lan Xuan, observing people’s words and expressions is the most basic survival skill.

"Recently, Nong Yu heard in Zi Lan Xuan that General Ji Wuye recommended a talented person to the king. I never thought it was you, sir." Nong Yu said with a smile, showing the style of Zi Lan Xuan.

"I'm not a talented person at all. I'm just a lackey. I think many people in Xinzheng would say the same thing. I'm not showing off my official position to Miss Nongyu. I just want her to know my background so that she doesn't have to be too wary of me." Yang Chong waved his hand. He would show off to Yan Lingji even the smallest things, but in front of outsiders, no matter how important the matter was, Yang Chong would not want to show off because there was no need.

"Everyone who enters Zi Lan Xuan is a guest. How could Nong Yu be wary of a guest?" Nong Yu responded. Zi Lan Xuan is supposed to make guests feel at home, and their vigilance must not and would not be shown openly.

"In Zi Lan Xuan, girls like Nong Yu must learn to protect themselves. Well, let's not talk about this. I came here today to learn from a master." Yang Chong was too lazy to talk more and directly stated his purpose.

"Become a disciple and learn skills?" Nanyue was slightly stunned when she heard this. Even with her calmness, she could not control her surprise at this moment. Things like becoming a disciple and learning skills can happen in many places, but happening in Zi Lan Xuan?

A grown man like Yang Chong came to Zilanxuan to learn from a master? What kind of master did he learn from, and what kind of skills did he learn? How could the two be connected?

"Yes, I am very interested in the art of music. I heard that Miss Nanyue's piano skills are extraordinary, so I hope Miss Nanyue can teach me the way of music." Yang Chong said. Fuxi Shentianxiang entered the Tao through music. If Yang Chong wants to practice, he must master the basic music skills, otherwise he can't even get started.

There may be many musicians who are good at music in Xinzheng, but with Nongyu already in the open, Yang Chong was too lazy to look for anyone else. What's more, asking a little beauty for advice on music is much better than facing a so-called master with white hair and a dry face. Moreover, Nongyu's own attainments in music are enough to surpass those so-called masters.

So Yang Chong came to Zilanxuan.

“This…” Nanyue looked at Yang Chong hesitantly. Yang Chong’s request, no, it should be a request. This request was really too outrageous. For a moment, she couldn’t tell whether Yang Chong was sincere or just had more sophisticated means and just wanted to get close to her in this way.

"Master Yang, I'm just a zither player in Zi Lan Xuan, and I'm not responsible for teaching." After a little consideration, Nong Yu decided to reject Yang Chong. Yang Chong might be sincere in wanting to be his disciple, but Nong Yu didn't want to take the risk because it was unnecessary and she didn't want to cause trouble.

"Miss Nanyue, don't be in a hurry to refuse. I will still pay the money that should be paid, and it won't take up too much of your time every day. Only one hour a day will be enough." Yang Chong said.

"Lord Yang, I'm really sorry, this matter is not something I can decide." Nanyue still shook her head and refused. Although Yang Chong said it was harmless, she was still instinctively alert.
