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

Yang Chong stroked his forehead with his hand, speechless at such a silly child. Kneel down? How could that be possible?

"Hurry up and kneel down, or I will punish you for disrespect." The red lotus pointed at Yang Chong. The look in Yang Chong's eyes that showed concern for the silly child had made her unable to tolerate it anymore.

Isn't he just Ji Wuye's lackey? When did even lackeys become so arrogant?

"It's time to go off duty now. Princess, you can have fun by yourself. I'm taking my leave now." Yang Chong was too lazy to pay attention to a little brat and jumped off the city wall directly.

"Hey, don't jump." Honglian was shocked when she saw this and hurried forward. She came to make things difficult for Yang Chong, not to take his life. If Yang Chong died, how could she make things difficult for him?

However, Honglian did not see the scene she had imagined. She only saw Yang Chong landing steadily on the ground. He took a step forward, and the ground seemed to shorten under his feet. When his foot landed, he was already several feet away. On the long imperial road in front of the palace gate, only residual shadows appeared. In a blink of an eye, Yang Chong's figure could no longer be seen.

"Are Ji Wuye's lackeys so powerful?" Honglian stared in amazement at Yang Chong, who had disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye. He actually has such martial arts skills?

Honglian knows martial arts, although her skills are only mediocre. That's only because she is a girl and has not spent much time on martial arts. However, her talent for martial arts is far beyond that of ordinary people, and she is also aware of learning martial arts. When she saw Yang Chong's almost supernatural martial arts skills, she was shocked, but couldn't help feeling a desire.

I also want to learn this kind of martial arts. Honglian's eyes flickered. At this moment, while she was thinking about making things difficult for Yang Chong, she already had other thoughts.

Zi Lan Xuan was still bustling. Although King Han's 100,000 gold had been robbed, it could not affect the pleasure-seeking of the wealthy people in Xinzheng. After Yang Chong left King Han's palace, he went to Zi Lan Xuan in the same direction as usual.

"Where is your sister Zi Nu?" Yang Chong, who was still being received by Nong Yu, took the initiative to ask about Zi Nu.

"Sister feels a little unwell today." Nong Yu said to Yang Chong as she closed the door.

"Are you feeling unwell? Are there any special days in a month?" Yang Chong's eyebrows jumped and he asked jokingly.

"Brother Yang, you shouldn't say such things. It's very rude." Nong Yu reminded him softly, feeling a little hot on her face. It was inappropriate to discuss the most private topic between women with a man.

"What's the big deal? Normal women can't escape this problem. However, Zi Nu might be more than just that." Yang Chong laughed. He didn't care much about this kind of thing. Besides, Zi Nu might not really be feeling unwell. Maybe she is doing alchemy now?

Thinking about the first and most important clue Han Fei obtained when he solved the case of the ghost soldiers' robbery was the piece of water-melting gold refined by Zi Nu, Yang Chong even guessed that if Zi Nu was fast enough, she would have left Zi Lan Xuan and gone to attend the farmers' meeting. She would be waiting there for Han Fei, the ninth son of the Korean state chosen by Wei Zhuang. Of course, he might also be the person she chose.

"Why did Brother Yang say that?" Nanyue was shocked when she heard that. Although she had already regarded Yang Chong as a good friend, the secret of Zilanxuan could not be known by Yang Chong.

"Forget it, forget it. I won't ask about the secrets of your Zi Lan Xuan. Come on, let's continue with yesterday's song." Yang Chong didn't want to compete with Nong Yu, so he went straight to the point.

Chapter 103: Clouds move in all directions, Yang Chong is also the protagonist

"Brother Yang, do you like Sister Zinu very much?" Nanyue asked Yang Chong while making tea for him and taking a break.

Before, every time Yang Chong came to Zi Lan Xuan, he would show up at Zi Nu's place. But today, Yang Chong just casually asked about Zi Nu and nothing else. This behavior surprised Nong Yu, who had always been observing him.

"I'm afraid there is no man who would not like a woman like Zi Nu." Facing Nanyue's question, Yang Chong did not hide anything and admitted it directly.

"Then you today..." Nanyue asked in confusion. It seemed that Yang Chong had no intention of going to see Sister Zi Nu today, which was a bit abnormal.

Could it be that Brother Yang was saddened by Sister Zi Nu's rejection, so he gave up? Thinking of this possibility, Nong Yu felt empty in her heart, and she actually felt a kind of excitement that made her a little scared.

"We have to give her some time, and some things are better off too much or too little," said Yang Chong.

"Too much is as bad as too little?" Nanyue was puzzled.

"I just used random punches to kill the master. Your sister Zi Nu had never seen such a method from me, so she was confused for a moment. Wasn't Zi Nu very cute before?" Yang Chong recalled the embarrassment of Zi Nu time and time again before. She was really very cute.

"Sister Zi Nu is indeed flustered in front of Brother Yang. I have never seen Sister Zi Nu so flustered." Nong Yu nodded. It was the first time she saw Sister Zi Nu like that, and it was all because of Yang Chong.

"But things are different now. Zi Nu has regained her composure. If I go there again, I will only see the Zi Nu that the guests of Zi Lan Xuan can also see. That kind of Zi Nu is meaningless." Yang Chong said with a look of regret.

"Are you going to give up, Brother Yang?" Nanyue asked for some reason.

"It's not giving up, it's just that the first step has been completed, and the second step requires a different strategy." Yang Chong explained.

"Brother Yang, are you treating the pursuit of Sister Zi Nu as a war, and have you changed your strategy? But, what is this first step that Brother Yang is talking about? What is the second step?" Nong Yu had no thoughts in her mind now, only curiosity.

"The first step is to leave a mark of Yang Chong in your sister Zi Nu's heart. Although it won't have any effect, it can guarantee one thing." Yang Chong approached Nong Yu and said mysteriously.

"Promise what?" Nong Yu was nervous. The distance between her and Yang Chong was too close at this moment, but in order to know the secret, she had no choice but to do this. Besides, she didn't hate the aura of Yang Chong.

"Make sure Zi Nu doesn't fall in love with someone else in a short period of time. Make sure she won't be attracted to other men for a considerable period of time. Increase her resistance to men. If this is guaranteed, I will have a chance in the future." Yang Chong said.

Yang Chong had never expected to win over Zi Nu, a knowledgeable woman, by relying on the previous somewhat clumsy means. Zi Nu was not an inexperienced girl. Although those means could make her confused for a while, she would be able to quickly regain her rationality and composure. And the rational and stable Zi Nu was not so easy to win over.

Therefore, Yang Chong’s real purpose was not to make Zi Nu fall in love with him, but to prevent Zi Nu from falling in love with another person easily. As long as he could do this, Yang Chong would have enough time to do the work slowly and carefully until he could completely win over Zi Nu.

"Brother Yang is so cunning." Nong Yu said helplessly. She had already understood what was going on, but she couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

"Since ancient times, deep love cannot be retained, only routines can win people's hearts. Things between men and women are mostly like this." Yang Chong said to himself, with a proud look on his face, but he did not notice the slight change in Nongyu's expression.

"Brother Yang, aren't you worried that I will tell Sister Zinu these words?" asked Nong Yu.

"do not worry."

"why?"

"Because you are Nanyue!"

"What's the reason?"

At this time, Zi Nu was indeed not in Zi Lan Xuan. If Yang Chong rushed in rashly, he would only expose this fact, but why did Yang Chong need to do this? He knew what he should know. If he rashly exposed Zi Nu's details, it would only make her more wary of herself.

The same city, Qianlong Hall.

Situ Wanli, a disciple of the Farmer family, as the head of Qianlong Hall, invited distinguished guests from the southeast, northwest, northeast and southwest to gather here in the name of Yibao Banquet. Among them are Yan Dan, the prince of Yan State, Touman, the young master of the wolf tribe in the north, Yan Chunjun of Yan State, Jing Ke, the swordsman of Wei State, Han Fei, the ninth son of Han State, and Zi Nu, the owner of Zilanxuan.

These people were either local dignitaries, or wealthy people, or people of high status. Situ Wanli was able to bring them together, which showed his remarkable ability. Of course, he was also the most skilled in business among all the disciples of the farming family.

Under the chairmanship of Situ Wanli, the Yibao Banquet went smoothly. Everyone got what they wanted, and Situ Wanli also achieved his goal.

He took the trouble to gather so many people together, not only because of the need to run Qianlongtang, but also because he needed such an opportunity to contact people he could contact, hoping to use their power to kill someone.

Because Yang Chong has already appeared in Xinzheng.

Originally, it was Situ Wanli who first discovered Xiliu Village, and it was he who reported the news of Xiliu Village back to Daze Mountain. However, the people surnamed Tian from the farming family excluded him, a disciple from another surname, when they took action.

At that time, Situ Wanli was still very indignant. He felt that Tian Meng, Tian Hu and others were eating in an ugly way and were trying to snatch the credit that should have belonged to him.

But when Tian Meng, Tian Hu and others disappeared without a trace, Situ Wanli could only be thankful that he did not participate in the mission of Xiliu Village, otherwise it would not only be Tian Meng, Tian Hu and others who disappeared, but also him.

Who could have thought that among the remaining few people of the Lu family there was actually a master who was able to kill Tian Meng and his men. As a result, Yang Chong's name appeared on the desks of the senior management of the Nong family.

The deaths of Tian Meng and others also made the farmers completely certain that the inheritance of the Lu family was in Yang Chong. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for Yang Chong to possess martial arts far superior to Tian Meng and others at the age of twenty.

Whether it was the blood feud of Tian Meng and others, or the inheritance of the six tribes of Emperor Yan, Yang Chong became the person that the Nong family must kill.

But after the incident in Xiliu Village, Yang Chong disappeared and completely disappeared from the sight of the world. The Nong family always has thousands of disciples, but they cannot find Yang Chong and are powerless to do anything about him.

Until recently, Yang Chong appeared again, and he showed up in Xinzheng in a swaggering manner. He defected to the Han general Ji Wuye and became a small Sima Gate commander.

Situ Wanli didn't know why Yang Chong dared to show up in Xinzheng so brazenly, but he knew that his chance had come.

Situ Wanli knew very well that as long as he could capture Yang Chong, the inheritance of the six tribes of the Yan Emperor would be his. Even if he could not keep the inheritance of the six tribes of the Yan Emperor, but handed it over to the Hero Chief and the Six Sages, it would also be a great achievement.

Therefore, after learning the news about Yang Chong, Situ Wanli's first thought was how to capture Yang Chong, but he knew his own strength. In terms of martial arts alone, he was not as good as Tian Hu, but Tian Hu and others died at the hands of Yang Chong. He did not think that his martial arts could defeat Yang Chong.

Therefore, Situ Wanli decided to borrow the power of others to take down Yang Chong, and the Qianlongtang he ran just provided him with the opportunity.

In order to resist the pressure from Zhao, Yan had to form an alliance with Qin. The condition was to send its own crown prince Yan Dan to Qin as a hostage. Yan Chunjun, the king's uncle, was the person in charge of this matter. Therefore, Yan Dan and Yan Chunjun, who were thousands of miles away, appeared in Xinzheng.

As for Jing Ke, he was also a local swordsman. He learned from General Gongsun Yu of the State of Wei. Although he was young, he was extremely skilled in swordsmanship. After the State of Wei was conquered by the State of Qin, he wandered around the countries and made a great name for himself in just a few years.

They are all the people that Situ Wanli is preparing to borrow strength from.

Even Touman, the young master of the wolf clan, has a group of wolf warriors and strange people under his command.

If he could gather these people together, Situ Wanli believed that no matter how powerful Yang Chong was, he would not be able to escape his clutches.

"Master Situ has kept us here. Could it be that there are some rare treasures that he hasn't taken out yet?" The humorous Jing Ke teased Situ Wanli who had kept him here.

"Master Jing Ke guessed correctly. I really have a rare treasure from ancient times." At the Yibao Banquet where several people had already left, Situ Wanli said with a smile.

"Ancient times? Wouldn't that be an antique?" Jing Ke became interested when he heard that.

"It's not only an antique, but also a magical artifact. It is a magical artifact that allows people like me who practice martial arts to glimpse a higher realm." Situ Wanli said. His purpose was to lure Yan Dan, Jing Ke and others to attack Yang Chong, so naturally he had to exaggerate the inherited item on Yang Chong's body as magical.

"Could it be some martial arts secret book?" Yan Dan asked, but his expression did not change. He was not only the crown prince of Yan State, but also the descendant of a great master of Mohism. The martial arts he practiced were the highest mental method of Mohism, and his martial arts were also treasured by the royal family of Yan State. He had limited interest in the so-called martial arts secret books.

"You all come from extraordinary backgrounds. How can ordinary martial arts secrets be of interest to you? I'm talking about the inheritance of Emperor Yan." Situ Wanli said.

"The inheritance of Emperor Yan? What is that?" Touman asked. Coming from a wolf clan, he knew very limited things about Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang.

"One thing made Taigong Lü Shang successful and opened up the supreme inheritance of the Zhou Dynasty that lasted for 800 years." Situ Wanli explained to Touman, but added the word "barbaric" in his heart.

"Taigong Lu Shang?" Yan Dan's face changed when he heard that. If it was really that thing, then it would be really worth his effort.

"Yes, that thing is now in the hands of a man named Yang Chong. Two years ago, our elite disciples from the Farmer Family came out together to seize that thing, but in the end we failed. All of our disciples were killed by Yang Chong." Situ Wanli narrated.

"Is it him?" Yan Dan looked surprised. He had heard of the name Yang Chong.

Chapter 104: Nongyu's Night Escape

This world is big, so big that it covers thousands of miles and has tens of millions of living beings, but this world is small, so small that it is just the intrigue of seven people. Therefore, although the name Yang Chong is unfamiliar to the vast majority of people in the world, for Yan Dan, a small group of people who are qualified to stand at the top of the world, the name Yang Chong is not unfamiliar.

Although the State of Yan did not invest too much energy in the Central Plains where the States of Han and Wei were located, the situation was different for the Mohist School. As a prominent school among the Hundred Schools of Thought, the Mohist School had influence throughout every corner of the Seven States. Prince Dan of Yan did not know what happened to Yang Chong, but Yan Dan, the descendant of a Mohist master, knew about it.

As a descendant of the Lu family of Qi State, he was the only one who could survive the stranglehold of the Luowang and the Nong family. These three points alone were enough to make Yan Dan take Yang Chong seriously, even though Yang Chong was now only the commander of the Sima Gate of the King of Han's Palace.

In Yan Dan's opinion, whether it is Yang Chong's identity or his martial arts that can break through the stranglehold between Luo Wang and the farmers, Yang Chong has great value to him.

Prince Dan of Qi was very interested, as were the six tribes of Emperor Yan and the descendants of the Mohist masters.

Therefore, when Situ Wanli talked about Yang Chong, Yan Dan was moved. This person who was about to go to Qin as a hostage was moved.

However, Yan Dan's excitement was not the kind that Situ Wanli expected.

Situ Wanli wanted to invite these people in front of him to attack Yang Chong together without going through the Nong family, and then get what the Nong family wanted, but he underestimated Yan Dan, and Situ Wanli was not qualified to ask him to take action.

But Yan Dan also believed that he had to meet Yang Chong. At that time, whether he used Yang Chong to exchange for the friendship of the farmers, or to win over or even subdue Yang Chong, it would be a gain for him.

In particular, Yan Dan thought of a way to have the best of both worlds, which was to let Situ Wanli seize the inheritance of the six tribes of Emperor Yan from Yang Chong. In this way, the Nong family would have to owe him a favor, and he could use Situ Wanli to force Yang Chong into a desperate situation, and then take action to subdue Yang Chong.

So when faced with Situ Wanli's invitation, Yan Dan agreed.

"Are you going to kill people for treasure?" Jing Ke spoke while Yan Dan was considering the pros and cons.

Although Jing Ke did things according to his own preferences, he never did evil. Situ Wanli invited these people to obtain the inheritance of the six tribes of Emperor Yan. In Jing Ke's opinion, this was just killing people and stealing treasures. He had no interest in such things. If he had not had some friendship with Situ Wanli, he would have left at this time.

"Not really, not really. The most important purpose of me doing this is to avenge my brothers Tian Meng and Tian Hu. Yang Chong is an extremely vicious person. He not only killed my disciples from the farming family, but also abducted our female disciples for sexual pleasure. Even if I don't have the inheritance of the six tribes of Emperor Yan, I will take action to avenge and rescue such a heinous person." Situ Wanli said.

"I can help Brother Situ rescue the female disciple from your farming family, but I will not get involved in anything else." Jing Ke thought for a moment and replied.

"Brother Jing, you are so righteous." Situ Wanli bowed and said, feeling a little annoyed at Jing Ke's indifference, but he could not force Jing Ke to do anything. After all, Jing Ke was a stronger swordsman than Tian Meng and the others, and the success or failure of his plan depended on him.

"Revenge, rescuing your female peasant disciples, I have no interest at all. However, I am very interested in the inheritance of the six tribes of Emperor Yan." Touman touched his curly beard. As the young master of the wolf tribe, he was very interested in the top martial arts of the seven countries. However, the most advanced martial arts were the secrets of hundreds of schools. A foreigner like him had no chance to come into contact with them. But now the opportunity was in front of him.

"Then I'll have to trouble you all." Seeing that Jing Ke and Touman had given in, Situ Wanli breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that his plan had succeeded.

While Situ Wanli was plotting against Yang Chong, Zi Nu, who had come out of Qianlong Hall, had already returned to Zilan Xuan.

"Is it settled?" Wei Zhuang asked.

"The things have been delivered to Han Fei. Do you think highly of this Ninth Young Master?" Zi Nu stretched her waist which was a little stiff from sitting in the carriage for a long time, showing her perfect figure.

But Wei Zhuang didn't even look at her. She was just a woman and couldn't affect him.

"Han Fei, who was accepted as a disciple by the Confucian Xunzi, is not an ordinary person. However, this only makes him worthy of my attention. Whether he is qualified to be my collaborator depends on how he performs in the case of the ghost soldiers' robbery." Wei Zhuang said.

In Korea, Wei Zhuang has his own ambitions, just like his senior brother Gai Nie chose Qin. However, in Korea, there are not many people who can become Wei Zhuang's partner. The crown prince is a piece of mud and cannot be helped. Ji Wuye is his target. The fourth prince Han Yu is qualified as a prince, but his ability is limited and he cannot support Wei Zhuang's ideals. Therefore, Han Fei, who has studied abroad for ten years, becomes Wei Zhuang's candidate for cooperation.

However, before that, Han Fei still needs to go through his test, and the case of the ghost soldier robbery is the test question that Wei Zhuang prepared for Han Fei.

"I hope he won't let you down." Zi Nu said. At this time, the door of the room was pushed open, and it was Nanyue who came in carrying a wooden basin for washing.

"Nongyu, you haven't rested yet?" Zi Nu looked at Nongyu with a little surprise. Nongyu was not Zi Lanxuan's maid, so she didn't have to do these things.

"Not yet. Sister Zi Nu, you have worked hard along the way." Nanyue walked towards the dressing table beside her. Because of Yang Chong's appearance, she was resting later and later because she had concerns in her heart.

"You are becoming more and more sensible." Zi Nu looked at Nanyue. Time flies so fast. The little girl back then has grown up now and has her own worries that she cannot let others know.

"Sister, wasn't Nanyue sensible before?" Nanyue handed the face towel soaked in hot water to Zinu and said coquettishly

"That's not what I meant." Zi Nu said as she put the towel on her face. The heat made the pores on her face relax, and she couldn't help but let out a comfortable sound.

"Behind the Qianlong Hall is a farming family. Situ Wanli kept Yan Dan, Jing Ke and others here, and it seems that he has other plans." After a while, Zi Nu took off the face scarf.

"Situ Wanli has been in Xinzheng for such a long time, always thinking about making money. Now he has a plan. What is it? Can you imagine it?" Wei Zhuang asked back.

"Yang Chong. Situ Wanli doesn't dare to attack Yang Chong himself, so he wants to borrow his strength." Zi Nu said with a smile, and did not forget to look at Nong Yu.

At first, under Yang Chong's tricks, Zi Nu's emotions dominated her rationality. Now, she has let her rationality overcome her emotions again, and she can face Yang Chong calmly.

"Yan Dan and Jing Ke are both good opponents. If Situ Wanli can invite them to attack Yang Chong, Yang Chong will be caught off guard and it's hard to say what will happen." Wei Zhuang said.

Yan Dan and Jing Ke were both rare masters of the young generation in the world at that time. Although Wei Zhuang had not yet fully tested Yang Chong's strength, he also believed that Yang Chong's strength should be on par with his. It would not be easy for Yang Chong to defeat Yan Dan, Jing Ke and more people at the same time, especially since Situ Wanli invited more than just Yan Dan and Jing Ke.

"So Yang Chong is in danger?" Zi Nu asked.
