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

Chapter 119 We Can Be One

Yang Chong did not eavesdrop on the conversation between Lady Hu and Honglian, so he did not know what the two of them said. Yang Chong only saw that Honglian seemed to have changed. There was something more in her clear and stupid eyes. In a trance, Yang Chong even saw a trace of Chi Lian's shadow.

In the end, Yang Chong left with Concubine Hu.

"What did you say to Honglian?" Yang Chong asked in a low voice as he was walking in the palace with Concubine Hu.

"This is a secret between women, so don't ask about it." Lady Hu glanced at Yang Chong and was speechless about his lack of understanding. Is he still the little thief who dared to steal the beauty and enter Zuo Sima's mansion?

Yang Chong responded to Lady Hu with silence.

Lady Hu looked at the two shadows cast by the sunlight on the ground. As the two people walked, they occasionally intertwined, and then separated. Her thoughts couldn't help but drift away, and the memory of that night resurfaced in her mind. There are some things that, if you have never tasted them, you won't have any desire for them, but after trying them, it is very difficult to forget them.

Lady Hu suppressed her thoughts and said, "It would be a good thing for you if you could marry Honglian."

"You don't have to worry about this matter. I have my own plans." Yang Chong interrupted Lady Hu directly. Korea was a big pit. Yang Chong didn't want to stay here for too long. Honglian was delicious and tempting, but that was all. There were so many beauties in the world. Could Yang Chong pursue them all?

Now that Yang Chong has got the money, the next step is people. As long as these two goals are achieved, Yang Chong will leave home for South Korea.

However, he did not expect that what he said to Concubine Hu that day was actually taken seriously by Concubine Hu. What surprised him even more was that Concubine Hu was actually going to help him. This surprised him even more. He did not think that Concubine Hu was convinced.

"You men." Lady Hu rolled her eyes at Yang Chong, somewhat angry at his ignorance, but still said, "My sister is in a bad mood today. I will go to her place today and stay tonight."

After saying this, Lady Hu left without giving Yang Chong a chance to speak, and Yang Chong also turned in another direction.

"Is that Yang Chong, the commander of my Sima Gate?" On a high building in the harem, King Han An looked at Yang Chong's back. Although it was blurry and almost invisible, the only person leaving the harem at this time was Yang Chong.

"Yes, your majesty, that is Yang Chong." Concubine Hu replied.

Today she went to find Honglian, actually it was also on the order of Han Wangan. After all, Han Wangan was still a father. His daughter brought a man back to his bedroom. As a father, how could Han Wangan not care about such a thing.

"What is his relationship with Honglian? Was he the one who took the initiative to approach Honglian?" Han Wangan asked.

Yang Chong was used as a tool by Ji Wuye to humiliate Han Wangan. Han Wangan had no good impression of Yang Chong. Now that Yang Chong was very close to Honglian, Han Wangan's murderous intention towards him became even stronger.

"From what I have observed, it was not Yang Chong who approached Princess Honglian on his own initiative, but Princess Honglian who wanted to learn martial arts from Yang Chong," Lady Hu explained.

"Honglian is really fooling around. If she wants to learn martial arts, I can find another teacher for her. Yang Chong is nothing." Han Wangan was stunned when he heard this. While he was surprised, he also felt it was natural, because in his understanding, this was indeed something his daughter could do.

"Your Majesty, Yang Chong's martial arts are very good. He must have his own strengths to be noticed by Ji Wuye." Lady Hu said tentatively.

"No matter how good your martial arts are, you are still Ji Wuye's lackey." Han Wangan sneered. In front of a woman like Concubine Hu, Han Wangan naturally didn't have to worry about anything.

"Your Majesty, although Yang Chong is Ji Wuye's man, he may be able to be used by Your Majesty." Lady Hu said.

"What do you mean?" Han Wangan asked back.

"Yang Chong is a tool for the king and Ji Wuye to compete with each other. Ji Wuye can use him to humiliate the king, so why can't the king use the same method to humiliate Ji Wuye? If the king can let Yang Chong change his position and serve the king, I think Ji Wuye will be very angry, right?" Lady Hu said with a smile. She was trying to let King Han An take the initiative to accept Yang Chong.

"Yang Chong is a wanted criminal." Han Wangan said in a serious tone, but he did not blame Concubine Hu at the first time. This in itself is a kind of attitude.

"Does a dead person still have value? And Your Majesty does not have to subdue Yang Chong, it is enough to just show some gesture. By then, Ji Wuye will surely be furious and will certainly attack Yang Chong. At that time, if Yang Chong is killed by Ji Wuye's men, Your Majesty will just be venting his anger. Of course, if Yang Chong can withstand the revenge from Ji Wuye, it means that he has the strength to fight against Ji Wuye. Your Majesty can take advantage of the situation and recruit him under your command, which will just be a good opportunity for Ji Wuye to find an opponent." Concubine Hu analyzed for Han Wangan. Of course, the real purpose was to induce Han Wangan to turn a blind eye to the contact between Honglian and Yang Chong.

Sure enough, when Lady Hu finished speaking, King Han An fell into deep thought. He was thinking, and thinking means hesitation. In hesitation, he would make the choice that is most beneficial to himself.

"I never thought that you, my beauty, are so wise." Han Wangan looked at Lady Hu beside him while thinking. Her petite yet soft body was his favorite, and now he liked Lady Hu's attentiveness even more.

"I just want to share the king's worries. Please don't blame me." Lady Hu hurriedly lowered her head and said in a low voice. She knew Han Wangan's character very well. She knew that Han Wangan didn't like people or things that he couldn't control. Han Wangan, who lacked power, was particularly concerned about controlling this thing.

"I can still distinguish right from wrong. You are right about this matter. Let's leave it at that for now." Han Wangan was very satisfied with Lady Hu's tact, and the slight dissatisfaction in his heart completely disappeared.

"Your Majesty, my sister has been unwell recently due to excessive grief. I want to visit her today. Your Majesty also knows that in this world, besides you, my sister is my only relative." Concubine Hu cried slightly. Her acting skills, which were the best in the King of Han's palace, were indeed extraordinary.

"You go, Mrs. Hu is also a poor person." Han Wangan thought of Li Kai's loyalty and the entrustment before his death, so he agreed to Mrs. Hu's request.

……

"Are you going to Zi Lan Xuan to see your sister Nong Yu tonight?" In the dark night, Yan Lingji fiddled with the wick and asked Yang Chong beside her.

"Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?" Yang Chong asked back, but he thought of Concubine Hu's reminder before they separated.

"Of course it's true." Yan Lingji approached Yang Chong and stared at him closely, not missing even the smallest detail.

"Go find Lady Hu." Yang Chong said directly, and what he said was indeed the truth.

"Madam Hu? Are you still going to look for that widow?" Yan Lingji was stunned. Yan Lingji knew about Madam Hu's affairs, but could Yang Chong not say it so confidently?

"Go and comfort her. I heard that she hasn't been in a good mood recently." Yang Chong said.

"How can you be so shameless? You are still comforting others, but why don't I see you comforting me?" Yan Lingji grabbed Yang Chong's face and said hatefully. Do you really think she won't be jealous?

"Are you sure?" Yang Chong looked at Yan Lingji. Although he was already very familiar with her, Yan Lingji's body would always be extremely attractive to Yang Chong.

"What are you thinking about?" Yan Lingji said with disdain, but she was still pulling Yang Chong's cheek. Although she would not stop Yang Chong, she still had the necessary emotions. One should not be too indulgent towards men. Yan Lingji understood this truth.

"Mrs. Hu has a line that connects to King Han's palace. We might need her help in the future, so we have to maintain this relationship." Yang Chong explained, giving a reason that was not a reason.

"Do you think I will believe it?" Yan Lingji rolled her eyes at Yang Chong. She had actually been prepared for that matter a long time ago, but she had already agreed with Yang Chong at the beginning. Now she was asked to take the initiative to say it, and Yan Lingji felt embarrassed, so she could only be stubborn. However, there was some resentment in her stubbornness, resentment that Yang Chong was obviously a bad guy, but he acted as a gentleman who kept his promise in front of her.

You use force, use force, if you don't use force, how can you know if I will resist? This is what Yan Lingji is thinking at this moment.

"Yan Lingji is so easy to fool, she will definitely believe it." Yang Chong smiled, full of disdain for Yan Lingji's intelligence.

"Go away. I sleep more comfortably alone." Yan Lingji snorted coldly and pushed Yang Chong away. "Damn ugly man, sooner or later, when you can't stop wanting me, I'm going to drive you crazy."

"Okay." Yang Chong responded, climbed out of the window and disappeared into the night.

"Bah, he's so skilled at climbing through the window, you can tell at first glance that he's a thief." Yan Lingji made a "Pah" sound and closed the window directly. Out of sight, out of mind, she went to bed.

Zuo Sima’s Mansion, the rear residence.

Mrs. Hu, who was lying on the bed, was already sleepy, but her sister beside her kept tossing and turning, showing no intention of sleeping at all.

"You are here to accompany me, not to torment me, right?" Lady Hu turned over again. Mrs. Hu finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"How could my sister bother you? If you want to say it's a bother, it must be someone else." Although it was late at night, Lady Hu's eyes were still wide open and she looked very energetic.

"What are you talking about!" Mrs. Hu pushed away her sister who was about to get close to her, her face already blushing with embarrassment in the dark.

"Sister, you really don't know? Damn Yang Chong, he's already well, why hasn't he come yet?" The first half of Lady Hu's sentence was still teasing her sister, but the second half turned into resentment.

"What did you say?" Yang Chong's name made Mrs. Hu sit up immediately. The thin fur coat slid down her skin, revealing her mature figure.

"Yang Chong, we had an appointment, but you haven't come yet so late." Lady Hu said dissatisfiedly.

"Are you crazy?" Mrs. Hu asked in a low voice.

"Who's crazy?" Mrs. Hu's body tensed up and her heart almost jumped out. It was a man's voice.

Chapter 120 I am a guest at night and a friend during the day

Who is crazy?

Mrs. Hu felt that she was crazy, and her sister was crazy too.

The morning sunlight shone through the curtains onto the bed, and the two sisters' already delicate skin was glowing with a faint halo. Looking at her younger sister's lazy and contented sleeping posture, Mrs. Hu sighed and felt that she must be crazy for doing such a thing with her younger sister.

But the ecstatic feeling in her body had not yet disappeared, and she could not deny her feelings against her will. But it was precisely because of this that Mrs. Hu felt even more uneasy. It would be okay for her, as she was just a widow. Even if there were any rumors, it would only ruin her reputation at most. But her sister was different. She was a member of the palace. Once this matter was exposed, Mrs. Hu could not imagine what would await her sister.

"Sister, wake up, wake up." Mrs. Hu pushed her sister. She felt that as an elder sister, she should persuade her sister.

"Sister, why are you awake? Isn't it still early?" Lady Hu turned over lazily, presenting her chest completely to her sister. Fortunately, there were no marks on it.

Mrs. Hu herself? Mrs. Hu's eyes turned from her sister to herself. The same places on her body were blue and red. The force exerted on them last night had not completely disappeared, and seemed to have been kneaded into her soul.

"How disgraceful you are now, sister. Don't forget who you are." Mrs. Hu's sister's attitude made her even more uneasy, and this uneasiness turned into anger. She slapped her sister on the chest in anger. While she was trembling, Mrs. Hu's eyes widened.

"Sister, are you teaching me a lesson? I remember you seemed to enjoy it more last night?" Lady Hu sat up reluctantly, grabbed a thin shirt beside her and put it on.

"You're still blaming me. It wasn't you who called him here." Mrs. Hu said angrily.

"But you eat more, right?" Lady Hu stretched lazily, not caring about her sister's anger.

"You still say that." Mrs. Hu was embarrassed and angry this time, and slapped her sister on the waist.

"Sister, you are a widow now, why do you still care about these things? Wasn't it the same between you and Yang Chong when Liu Yi was alive? Now that Liu Yi is dead, you care about it instead. Is the dead Liu Yi more important than the living Liu Yi?" Lady Hu rubbed her waist. It was still sore, and after being slapped, it became sore and painful again.

"Am I talking about me? I'm talking about you, sister. You are a member of the palace. How could you do this? If the king knew about this, would you still want to live?" Mrs. Hu said in a low voice.

"Sister, I understand this matter better than you. Over the years, I have served carefully in the palace and walked on thin ice. Occasionally, I also want to indulge myself." Concubine Hu said.

The women in the palace seem to have no worries about food and clothing, and can enjoy material things that are difficult for ordinary people to reach, but in order to obtain those things, they must pay a price.

Lady Hu was certainly not complaining. She was very clear-headed. Ever since the destruction of Fire Rain Villa, she knew very well what she needed. So she did serve Han Wangan carefully. If nothing had changed, she would have continued to do so until Han Wangan no longer needed her. But an accident happened, and after the first accident, there would often be countless accidents.

"Sister, I know it's not easy for you, but we really can't do this." Mrs. Hu said. She understood her sister's helplessness, but people are always helpless in life, and these have to be endured. It is difficult for people who only know how to indulge themselves to survive.

"Don't worry, sister. I know my limits." Mrs. Hu said and lay down again. She didn't want to move before the morning.

"Oh." Mrs. Hu sighed. She has never been a person with strong opinions, not in the past nor now.

……

In Zi Lan Xuan, the sun was at its highest point in the sky. Zi Nu just got up and sat by the window, overlooking the hustle and bustle of the street. She yawned out of boredom. This life of sleeping during the day and going out at night was really boring.

Zi Nu thought aimlessly, slowly leaned her arms on the windowsill, supporting her small face, and the things that happened in the past few days gradually emerged in her mind.

A man broke into her life in an almost brutal way, especially since this man was very likely her enemy.

There is also Han Fei. In the contacts between Wei Zhuang and Han Fei, Zi Nu has already seen the ambitions of both men. As a young woman, Zi Nu is still very interested in the ambitions of men, but it seems that apart from curiosity, she has no more emotions.

Why did he rush into Xinzheng so recklessly? Zi Nu pondered and suddenly found that her understanding of Yang Chong was still very limited. It could even be said that she had never really understood Yang Chong from the beginning to the end.

"So what kind of person is he? What exactly does he plan for me?" Zi Nu said to herself.

In Zi Nu's cognition, Yang Chong is a strange person, but also a scheming person. He has stronger martial arts than Wei Zhuang, and can kill people without blinking an eye. He also has talents and attainments in music that impress Nong Yu. Could such a person really be the one who is entangled with her?

Zi Nu regretted it as she thought about it, because she found that some people didn't care about what she was saying. Just as she thought of Yang Chong's sight, Yang Chong's figure appeared on the street downstairs.

Seeing the figure downstairs, Zi Nu almost instinctively wanted to close the window, but it was obviously too late. Amid the exclamations of passers-by, Yang Chong actually jumped directly up from downstairs. When he reached a height parallel to the window, his body actually used the force of the air and turned around to get into Zi Nu's room.

"Why did Miss Zi Nu hide when she saw me?" Yang Chong, who had landed in Zi Nu's room, looked at the surrounding decorations. It was a very exquisite room, and he could even see some things that belonged to a girl in it. Obviously, under the mature mind of this Miss Zi Nu, there were still some marks of a girl that had not completely faded.

"Zi Lan Xuan does not accept guests during the day." Under Yang Chong's gaze, Zi Nu subconsciously took a step back, then barely managed to calm herself down and said.

"I know." Yang Chong sat leisurely in the place where Zi Nu had just sat. The cushion under his butt seemed to still have the residual warmth of Zi Nu.

"Why don't you leave?" Zi Nu glared at Yang Chong.

"When I come here at night, I am a guest, and when I come here during the day, I am your friend. Don't you, Miss Zinu, consider me a friend?" Yang Chong asked back.

"Friends? I don't have any friends." Zi Nu rolled her eyes at Yang Chong. She didn't know whether she agreed or disagreed with Yang Chong's "sophistry", but at least she didn't say anything about driving Yang Chong away.

"Is Ninth Master Han Fei your friend?" Yang Chong picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip. The taste lingered on his lips and teeth, but it was also a bit sour. This is how the world is. One's birth can determine 99% of the problems.

"Are you familiar with Han Fei?" Zi Nu asked, with a tentative look in her mind. After all, Yang Chong was Ji Wuye's man. In reality, she and Yang Chong were enemies, but because of the pursuit relationship between the two that was unclear whether it was true or false, this hostility became even more confusing.

"A man who wants to rule the world, who can be familiar with him?" Yang Chong said with disdain. In his opinion, Han Fei in this time and space was just like that. He was good at academics, but extremely naive when it came to political struggles. He could be said to be unqualified. He was even worse than his elder brother Han Yu, who was a man with lofty ambitions but overly naive. This was probably what the so-called scholar's ambition was like.

"Did Nanyue tell you these words?"

Yang Chong's unintentional words made Zi Nu's face change. Han Fei once mentioned his ambition during their chat, which was that he wanted ninety-nine out of the seven kingdoms. But this was just the content of a private conversation among a few people. How could Yang Chong know about it?

Zi Nu recalled the scene at that time. Was Nong Yu there at that time? Did Yang Chong know about it from Nong Yu? If so, it would be easier to explain. If not, then the meaning behind it is hard to say. Did Ye Mu know everything about their actions? If Ye Mu knew even their private conversations, then their situation could be imagined.

However, with Wei Zhuang present, it was impossible for anyone to eavesdrop without being discovered, not even Yang Chong. Zi Nu analyzed and could only think of Nong Yu. In Zi Lan Xuan, Nong Yu was the one who was most familiar with Yang Chong, and the two of them often stayed together.

Could it really be Nanyue? Zi Nu thought of this and quickly denied it. She believed that Nanyue was a person who knew the importance of things. Even if she had a good relationship with Yang Chong, she would not reveal the secret of Zi Lan Xuan to Yang Chong.

"I never ask Nongyu about Zi Lan Xuan, and Nongyu won't tell me your secrets. You should trust Nongyu." Yang Chong said with an unhappy look on his face. Is this Zi Nu still the resourceful boss of Zi Lan Xuan in his impression? Why does she look a little stupid? Could it be that she has already set her mind on Han Fei?

"Then where did you know that?" Zi Nu asked.

"Is this important?" Yang Chong asked back.

"Very important." Zi Nu's expression was full of solemnity.

"That's only for you. To me, it's not important at all. Miss Zinu, you just need to manage Zilanxuan well. There are some things that a woman like you cannot participate in. It will not do you any good." Yang Chong warned.

"What do you mean?" There was more vigilance in Zi Nu's eyes.

"I don't know why you want to participate in those things, and I don't know what you want to achieve. It's a man's game, why would a woman like you participate? Even if you win, what can you get? How can a woman like you become an official?" Yang Chong said.

"Did Ye Mu say these words to me, or did Yang Chong say them to me?" Zi Nu was now completely certain that Yang Chong was definitely not as simple as he appeared.

Chapter 121 Let's Get to Know Each Other Again

"I just said that I came to your place during the day just as a friend." Yang Chong said.

"Thank you for your concern, but I also have things I need to do." Zi Nu sighed, accepting Yang Chong's kindness. However, when she was in Xinzheng, especially running such a large Zi Lan Xuan, there were some things she couldn't avoid. If she didn't want to be swallowed up, she could only take the initiative to join in.

If possible, Zi Nu also wanted to be a woman who lived in peace with the world, but reality did not allow it, and she was not qualified for that.

"I thought you were doing this because of Han Fei." Zi Nu's words made Yang Chong feel a lot more at ease. Women are creatures that once fall in love, it is not easy to pull them back.
