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

Zhao Ji no longer dared to imagine it. At this moment, she only felt her hands and feet getting cold, and she smelled danger.

"It's been three days. According to the king's itinerary, he should have passed Hangu Pass by now." The eunuch said tremblingly.

The King of Qin ran away from home. As long as he could return safely, no one would hold him responsible because he was the master of the country. But it was different for these people. They would really die.

Especially now that the truth had been revealed, how would Queen Mother Zhao deal with him? He no longer dared to imagine.

For people like Queen Mother Zhao, killing them is easier than crushing an ant, and their fate is not necessarily more precious than that of an ant.

"Santian, you are really my good son. Even I had to hide it from you." The Queen Mother Zhao's face was as gloomy as water at this time. Her son Qin Shihuang had grown up after all and had his own ideas. He was no longer the child who depended on her in Zhao State.

"Who else knows about this?" Queen Dowager Zhao calmed her thoughts and knew that now was not the time to think about these things. What she needed to do most now was to help her son hide the news. Only in this way could Qin Shi Huang, who had run away from home, be as safe as possible. The biggest danger for Qin Shi Huang was that the news of his escape would leak out.

"There are only a few people in the king's bedroom. They are all his confidants and will never leak any information. The king has made careful arrangements before leaving." The eunuch replied tremblingly.

"Zhou Mi! What the hell is Zhou Mi?" When Queen Mother Zhao heard the word "Zhou Mi", her tense heartstrings completely exploded. What did her son, Qin Wang Zheng, think of her? He ran away without permission, not caring about the consequences at all, and even hid it from her. If she hadn't suddenly wanted to meet Qin Wang Zheng today, she would have known nothing until now.

What if something unexpected happened? Queen Mother Zhao felt terrified. She didn't know much about what was going on in the court, nor did she have much interest in learning about it. Her greatest hobby was to stay in Ganquan Palace and enjoy everything that the Queen Mother of Qin could enjoy.

She didn't want to interfere in outside affairs, but now, she couldn't ignore it. However, she couldn't take any big actions, otherwise it might only backfire.

"Right now, I can only help Zheng'er hide his whereabouts. I have to send people to look for him, but I can't send too many people, lest those old foxes find out any flaws." Zhao Ji held her forehead. Such a complicated matter was really too much of a test of her IQ.

Zhao Ji analyzed it, but couldn't figure it out for a while. This was not something she was good at.

"Go back and pretend nothing happened. Once the news is leaked, the king may forgive you, but I will not let you go." Zhao Ji said coldly. She was upset and couldn't think of any good ideas.

"Yes." When the eunuch heard this, he felt as if he had been pardoned. He knew that his life was temporarily saved.

After everyone left, Queen Mother Zhao looked at the empty palace and suddenly said, "Jingwei."

"Queen Dowager." As Queen Dowager Zhao's voice echoed, a palace maid appeared in front of her.

"I have a task for you to do." Zhao Ji looked at Jingwei in front of her. She couldn't mobilize more forces. All she could do now was to send Jingwei, a non-staff member, out. Maybe he could play a role.

"Please give your orders, Queen Mother." Jingwei said respectfully. To Queen Mother Zhao, she was not only loyal but also grateful. It was Queen Mother Zhao who gave her everything she had now. Although she had never thought about her own life, whether being a killer or being a palace maid, there was actually no difference to her. But now she was not alone. She and her children needed a stable living environment, and these were what Queen Mother Zhao could and was willing to give them.

"Go to Xinzheng and find the king, and make sure he returns safely." Zhao Ji explained the situation to Jingwei and finally gave this order.

"Yes." Jingwei responded. This was her destiny and she had never thought of resisting anything. Now she only cared about one thing, which was to let her two children live healthily.

In the past, Jingwei didn’t know why she was living. She only knew how to carry out her missions. But now she has understood the meaning of her life. She lives not only to kill people, but also to continue her life.

She had known death since childhood, and now she understood the meaning of life.

Chapter 159: Plots in the Dark

People in Xinzheng are very busy fighting for power, but some people fight for power to satisfy their own desires, while others fight for power to realize their ideals.

But Xinzheng is not short of idle people who like to live a life of drunkenness and indulge in the pleasures of life, such as Yang Chong.

It was on such a day that envoys from the State of Qin appeared in Xinzheng, bringing the shadow of Qin to this city of decadence and decadence.

"Actually, the Qin envoys should thank me for being able to appear safely in Xinzheng." By the stream outside Xinzheng City, Yang Chong glanced at the motionless fishing float, turned his head and said to Yan Lingji beside him.

"Thank you? You are so shameless." Yan Lingji, who was pulled out to fish, said unhappily. She didn't hate fish as an animal, but she hated water, just like a prison. If water and prison were combined, that would be something she hated even more.

"Don't disbelieve it. If I hadn't appeared, this envoy from Qin would really have become an unlucky guy." Yang Chong laughed happily. This was a story only he knew, but now he wanted to tell it to Yan Lingji. Since he couldn't catch any fish, he could only find something else to do.

"Then tell me what you want to say. I want to see what kind of flower you can describe." Yan Lingji pulled the cushion under her hips and moved towards Yang Chong, pretending to listen attentively.

"If I had not appeared, Tianze would not have died. But that madman would do anything to retaliate against South Korea. Do you think he would take the opportunity to assassinate the Qin envoy and then put the blame on South Korea? He is not a match for the entire South Korea, but Qin can retaliate against South Korea. Once Qin knows that its envoy was assassinated in South Korea, they will have a reason to launch an attack on South Korea." Yang Chong said.

"What you said is just if, but you exist, you really exist." Yan Lingji pondered Yang Chong's words and felt that they made sense, but Yang Chong was there, so why make such an assumption?

"I was just an accident." Yang Chong said in words that only he could understand.

"Are you trying to say that it's just a coincidence that you can't catch any fish?" Yan Lingji glanced at Yang Chong and mocked him mercilessly.

"You've changed." Yang Chong said helplessly with a sad face. The woman in front of him was no longer the sweet-talking Yan Lingji.

Of course, it is also possible that the Yan Lingji in Yang Chong’s memory is fake, and the Yan Lingji in front of him is her true appearance.

"Oh, you're sad now? Come, sister loves you." Yan Lingji laughed exaggeratedly, opened her arms and hugged Yang Chong's shoulders. Without much effort, she had already held Yang Chong in her arms. The soft embrace made Yang Chong unable to think of resisting.

It has to be said that in the process of Yang Chong constantly trying to trick Yan Lingji, Yan Lingji also learned how to control Yang Chong. This process can be described as a two-way process.

"Comfortable." Yang Chong, who was held in Yan Lingji's arms, rubbed himself to find a more comfortable position, which made Yan Lingji giggle. She felt a little itchy, but she had no intention of letting Yang Chong go.

"I don't believe what you said about coincidence. I think your appearance is inevitable. To me, you are destined." Yan Lingji rubbed Yang Chong's forehead. In the past, she lived just for the sake of living, but now there is more meaning to living.

"That's right. Now that I've appeared, there will be no coincidence for you and me. But how will the story develop next?" Yang Chong held Yan Lingji's hand and placed it on his forehead.

In the present time and space, because of his appearance, although Yanri did not die, he was seriously disabled. There was also Heibai Xuanjian. It was said that after he personally tortured Wei Yong in Wei State, he disappeared with the Black Widow. Now Qin Shihuang is almost in Xinzheng. In the original trajectory, Ba Linglong, who was responsible for assassinating Qin Shihuang, no longer existed before it was formed.

If Qin Wangzheng still appears in Xinzheng, will there be assassins from Luowang who will attack him? If there are assassins from Luowang who will attack Qin Wangzheng, who will they be?

In this matter, how should I, who is planning the night, stand on the side and maximize my own interests?

Should I help Ye Mu and Luo Wang kill King Zheng of Qin, or help Han Fei and others send King Zheng of Qin away from Han?

It has to be said that Yang Chong’s next choice will be enough to affect the future direction of this time and space.

King Zheng of Qin in this time and space was not invincible. Not only him, but also people like Han Fei and Zhang Han were invincible.

In another memory of Yang Chong, there was a joke about Zhang Han, saying that if Zhang Han did not have the historical halo, he would have died long ago.

And wasn't it the same for King Zheng of Qin who dared to leave Qin alone with only Gai Nie and came to Xinzheng?

The king of a country, for a ridiculous reason, actually disregarded his personal safety and came to another country. What is the difference between such behavior and seeking death?

Yang Chong doesn't even need to do much. He just needs to add fuel to the fire behind the scenes to cause the young King of Qin to die in a foreign land. What will be the future of the world then?

I have to say that Yang Chong is a little impulsive now. He is an anomaly in this world. It is normal that this world has been changed beyond recognition because of him.

But do I really need to kill Qin Wang Zheng? Yang Chong was thinking in his mind that Qin Wang Zheng would play an important role in his future plans.

Although it is very tempting to strangle Qin Shi Huang in his early stages of growth before he fully grows up, in Yang Chong's plan, Qin Shi Huang's role is indispensable. Without the pressure from Qin Shi Huang and the State of Qin, how could he realize his plan to annex Qi, Zhao, and Yan and stand side by side with Qin in the east and west?

Moreover, the inertia of this world for eight hundred years is too strong. If one wants to reverse this inertia and end the tradition of enfeoffment of the countries by violence and blood, it will cost a huge price, and King Zheng of Qin is the most suitable person to do this.

Although Qin Shi Huangdi has received mixed reviews in later history, one thing must be acknowledged: what he did can be said to benefit future generations, but it was too cruel for people of his time.

In the past, Yang Chong could talk about this freely. No matter whether his contributions would be remembered for generations or his crimes would be punished in his own time, he was just a bystander. But now it is the same, because he is also a contemporary. When Qin Shihuang's butcher knife is about to fall on him and his relatives, when he and his relatives are about to become the so-called price, will he be willing?

"Actually, our life is pretty good now." Yan Lingji said. She could see that Yang Chong had a lot on his mind. Men are always ambitious, but is the future really more important than the present?

"It's very good, but it's not very safe. It's too difficult for a person to truly control his own destiny. However, this reason doesn't seem to be very good. Human desires are always endless. Those who have no money want to be rich, and those who have money want to have more money. The same is true for power. Even if you have the highest power in the world, you will still hope for a longer life. How can people be satisfied?" Yang Chong shook his head and laughed.

"Anyway, I'm very satisfied now." Yan Lingji looked at the river in front of her. The water was sparkling and very quiet. It was not very beautiful, but it was very pleasing to the eye. Just like life, it didn't need to be thrilling, as plain as water.

"That won't do. Although salted fish are comfortable, they are dead fish!" Yang Chong cheered up. In this era, there is no chance to even be a salted fish.

"You can't even catch a dead fish." Yan Lingji laughed, which greatly destroyed her temperament.

"Who said I can't catch any fish?" Yang Chong's face changed when he heard that. For a fisherman, such words would cause too much harm and no fisherman could tolerate it.

"The fish basket is still empty. It looks like we're going to go hungry at noon today." Yan Lingji pinched Yang Chong's nose. She seemed to like the feeling of holding Yang Chong in her arms like this. She felt that everything about Yang Chong belonged to her now, and she could completely control Yang Chong.

"Who says you have to use a fishing rod to fish? I can use my hands as well." Yang Chong stood up stubbornly and slapped the stream in front of him.

The water surface exploded instantly, and the fish that were originally swimming freely suddenly encountered an unexpected disaster. They were blown out of the water one after another, and the fattest one among them fell directly onto the shore.

"How about it? Didn't I catch it?" Yang Chong pointed at the big fish under his feet and said, it is impossible not to catch fish, it's just that he used a different method.

"You are still such a scoundrel. Let's go and take the fish back for dinner." Yan Lingji bent down, grabbed a handful of grass, and then braided it a few times to make a small rope. She put the fish on the rope and held it in her hand.

"Let's go, let's try your cooking skills tonight." Yang Chong also put away his fishing rod. Fishing was indeed not something he could do, at least not something he could do at his age. It was too much of a test of his patience.

……

In the night, Yang Chong strolled in the city of Xinzheng, with Nongyu by his side. This girl who seldom went out could not refuse Yang Chong's invitation after all. Walking on the streets of Xinzheng at this time, she was no longer as quiet as she was in Zilanxuan. She seemed to be infected by the noisy sounds around her and became more lively.

At this time, Nongyu was standing in front of a stall selling pendants, choosing them with great interest. She had no interest in buying things, but she was very interested in buying things for Yang Chong.

Yang Chong was also happy to watch Nongyu bargaining with the vendors. The peerless zither girl in Zi Lan Xuan was not as adorable as the current Nongyu.

However, Yang Chong's gaze shifted away from Nong Yu. In the distant direction, he felt a strange breath.

Where is it? Yang Chong's eyes narrowed slightly. Is that the so-called Tianshu?

Interesting. Yang Chong smiled. He had understood that the King of Qin had finally arrived.

At this time, Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang, the two brothers, should be fighting there.

Such an outrageous thing still happened. Yang Chong thought and retracted his gaze. He had no interest in the Zongheng brothers who were fighting at the moment. They were just two swordsmen, not people like Sun Bin, Pang Juan, Su Qin, and Zhang Yi. In terms of martial arts, Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang could not arouse Yang Chong's interest. Nanyue was still more adorable.

"Brother, what do you think of this?" Nong Yu held a pendant made of silk thread in front of Yang Chong.

"Not bad, but I think it would be more beautiful if Nanyue made it herself." Yang Chong said.

"Should I weave it myself?" Nong Yu looked at the pendant in her hand and didn't think she could weave it well, but Yang Chong had already said so...

Nanyue frowned slightly, then opened her brows and said with a smile, "Okay, but big brother, you have to wait for me for a few days."

She has decided to practice first and will definitely give Yang Chong a beautiful pendant.

The two chatted and strolled through the night market in Xinzheng, enjoying themselves.

It was not until the curfew was approaching that Yang Chong sent Nong Yu back to Zi Lan Xuan. When Nong Yu walked into Zi Lan Xuan, a carriage slowly drove into the backyard of Zi Lan Xuan.

There were many carriages traveling to and from Zilanxuan every night, but no carriage could enter the backyard. But tonight, such a carriage appeared.

A young man jumped off the car, looking around cautiously with restrained eyes. Seeing that there was nothing unusual, he opened the carriage.

"Master Shang, we've arrived."

"Thank you, sir." A deep male voice came from the carriage. Judging from the voice, he should be young. From his tone, it seems that he has been in a high position for a long time and has a certain majesty.

As soon as he finished speaking, a tall, stern-faced young man leaned out of the carriage, glanced at Zi Lanxuan in front of him, and then got off the carriage.

……

Is this Xinzheng? Outside the city of Xinzheng, Jingwei, wearing leather armor and a silver face, looked at the city gate in front of her. She knew she had reached her destination, but where would Qin Wangzheng go after arriving in Xinzheng?

Also, that person seems to be here too. Jingwei thought about it, and a ripple appeared in his calm eyes.

Although she lived in Ganquan Palace and accompanied Zhao Ji, she was not completely out of the net. People like the Queen Mother Zhao were not serious people. They loved to have fun, and her experiences were fun in the eyes of the Queen Mother Zhao.

Therefore, with the help of Luowang's intelligence system, she also learned some of Yang Chong's subsequent movements.

After all, Yang Chong was on Luowang's list when he was just a teenager in Xiliu Village. And after what happened in Weijiazhuang, Yang Chong, who caused Yanri's defeat, was put on Luowang's kill list, ranked first. Naturally, information about Yang Chong became Luowang's key target.

Therefore, Luowang had a clear grasp of Yang Chong's movements in the past two years. Jingwei, who was Luowang's top-ranked killer, naturally knew about it as well.

If Yang Chong was just her mission target before, then as their blood merged together and as two cute little people appeared in her life, there seemed to be an extra layer of bond between them.

She could no longer be so calm towards Yang Chong, but right now she had more important things to do, not for herself, not for the people, but for the two children.

Jingwei threw aside the messy thoughts in his mind, jumped onto the city wall, and disappeared into the night.

Chapter 160 They were once husband and wife

Zi Lan Xuan, Han Fei looked at the guest who suddenly appeared, the smile on his face was a little stiff, he realized that he was in trouble, this sudden visitor was not just a guest, but a huge trouble.

However, this guest was interesting. Han Fei saw some kind of similar aura from that person. The two of them had common topics and the feeling that they could talk freely was something he had never experienced even when he was studying in Qi State.

But the pleasure is only temporary, what about the trouble that follows?

"The trouble we are in this time may be a bit big." Han Fei said to Wei Zhuang beside him.

"Aren't you the biggest trouble?" Wei Zhuang said. When his senior brother Gai Nie came here, the trouble had already appeared, just like after Han Fei returned to Xinzheng. It can even be said that the current trouble was caused by Han Fei. After all, if there was no Han Fei, King Zheng of Qin was far away in Xianyang and would not have appeared here. In the final analysis, the source of the trouble still lies with Han Fei.

"Brother Wei Zhuang, this is a blatant slander. You don't have the honesty of your senior brother at all." Han Fei covered his forehead exaggeratedly. He was very good at finding joy in adversity. Honglian liked to be silly and happy, but he, as an elder brother, liked to be optimistic.

Wei Zhuang just glanced at Han Fei coldly without answering. At the moment, Han Fei had retreated to third place in his eyes, because his senior brother and the person chosen by his senior brother were already here. As for Han Fei? He was already an old friend.

"We need to send Master Shang away safely now." Han Fei didn't mind Wei Zhuang's coldness. Having been together for so long, he naturally knew Wei Zhuang's temperament.

"Before sending them away, we should first determine the identity of the possible enemies. Only in this way can we make plans before taking action, instead of sending them out of Xinzheng in a hurry. If we cannot solve the possible enemies, even if we send them out of Xinzheng safely, they may not be able to leave Korea safely." Wei Zhuang said.

Wei Zhuang not only didn't care about the safety of the so-called Master Shang, he even had the urge to take the opportunity to kill him. But now the fate of his senior brother and Master Shang were tied together, so he had no choice but to take it seriously.

"No matter who the enemies from Qin are, I know that as soon as they come to Xinzheng, they will have to deal with another force, and that person will definitely know who the enemies from Qin are." Han Fei said.

In Xinzheng, the real local tyrant is Ye Mu. In this regard, no other force can compare with him. If there are really enemies from the Qin State who want to attack Master Shang, whether Ye Mu intervenes or not, they will be the first to discover the clues. What's more coincidental is that they happen to have people among Ye Mu.

"Are you talking about Yang Chong?" Wei Zhuang asked.

"Yes, it is him. Now he is our ally." Han Fei said with a smile.

"He and you are allies in the matter of destroying Ji Wuye, but not necessarily in other matters. He has ambitions to rule the world, so how do you know he won't take action against Master Shang? By the time Yemu hasn't found out anything, you will have revealed all your secrets." Wei Zhuang said.

Wei Zhuang did not completely trust Yang Chong, although he knew Yang Chong earlier than Han Fei, but it was precisely because of this that he understood Yang Chong better. He knew that although Yang Chong was very similar to Han Fei and both of them were relatively "insolent" in speaking, unlike Han Fei who only said some of his words, Yang Chong could do anything.
