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

"You know nothing about my strength." Yang Chong was very confident. He was even stronger now than when he was fighting with the Luowang killer in Zi Lan Xuan. Especially with the Zhou Liuxu Gong in his hand, he was least afraid of being outnumbered. Yan Lingji's speed in clearing out the miscellaneous soldiers was already fast enough, and the efficiency of the Zhou Liuxu Gong in clearing out the miscellaneous soldiers was even faster than Yan Lingji's fire. After all, fire was just a kind of power of the Zhou Liuxu Gong.

Mo Ya looked at the confident Yang Chong and didn't know what to say for a moment. Before coming to give Yang Chong the invitation, he also saw a similar look on Ji Wuye's face.

Once self-confidence turns into arrogance, disaster is not far away.

However, Mo Ya did not say much about this. Although he agreed to work for Yang Chong, he would not do anything except the work of a killer. If Yang Chong followed Ji Wuye's footsteps because of his arrogance in the future, he could be freed in advance. Naturally, he would be happy to see it happen. As for loyalty? What is that?

Otherwise, why is Mo Ya the killer of Ye Mu? His kindness is only reserved for a few people like Ying Ge and Bai Feng. As for Yang Chong, forget it. How can a killer be a good person? Especially for a top killer like Mo Ya, many people have died in his hands.

"Are you really planning to take action against Ji Wuye?" Zi Nu walked out of the inner room and looked at Mo Ya's departing back. She also heard what Yang Chong said to Mo Ya just now.

"The time has come. I have stayed in Korea long enough. Time waits for no one. Before Qin launches a large-scale attack on Zhao, I must take Shangrao through Zhao and control the northern capital of Qi." Yang Chong explained. There were some plans that Yang Chong did not need to explain to Yan Lingji, but he needed to explain to Zi Nu, because even if he told Yan Lingji, Yan Lingji would not understand. But it was different for Zi Nu, because she was a truly smart person.

Although Zi Nu's vision would be blocked by the man, just like the original plot, because Han Fei was involved in a bet that he could not win, Yang Chong is not Han Fei. He would let Zi Nu stand higher and see farther and better scenery.

"Qin is launching a large-scale attack on Zhao?" Zi Nu's face moved. She thought of what Yang Chong had said before. At that time, Yang Chong was mocking Han Fei's big talk, so he also made such a bold statement. However, since it was just a bold statement, whether it could be taken seriously was another matter. But now, Zi Nu clearly felt that Yang Chong was really going to take action.

"King Zheng of Qin is already 23 years old and has long passed the age of coming of age. He will definitely rule the country himself when he returns this time. You know what kind of person he is. The State of Qin will become a more powerful war machine in his hands. Unfortunately, the six countries now no longer have powerful rulers like Wei Wenhou, Zhao Wuling, Chu Weiwang, and Qi Weiwang. If nothing unexpected happens, Zhao will not be able to hold on for a few more years. Before Zhao perishes, I must use the power of Zhao to conquer Qi. Only in this way can I have the strength to fight against Qin." Yang Chong said.

King Zheng of Qin was lucky as he inherited a powerful Qin State. He was even luckier as he met a group of weak kings during the same period. The strongest king of Qin State faced the weakest kings of the six states. With the strength of Qin State, how could it not win?

"Isn't King Zheng of Qin the slightly silly Master Shang? Is he really that powerful?" Zi Nu asked hesitantly.

"Stupid? Are you sure you are talking about that Master Shang?" Yang Chong was stunned. When did Zi Nu become so sharp?

"Isn't he stupid? He dared to come to Han alone. If you hadn't helped, the king of Qin would have been replaced. A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. He is the king of Qin, but he puts himself in danger. And his reason is so childish. Doesn't he deserve the word 'stupid'?" Zi Nu was very concerned about the destruction of Zi Lan Xuan, and all this was caused by King Zheng of Qin. How could she have a good opinion of King Zheng of Qin?

"You're right, but it's better this way. If he wasn't a little stupid, I might not have been able to help but attack him. After all, he and Qin will be my biggest rivals in the future." Yang Chong said with a smile.

The King Zheng of Qin in this world is not invincible. After all, this world is not the world in history. The King Zheng of Qin is not impeccable. Not to mention anything else, in real history, the King Zheng of Qin wanted to see Han Fei, but he just sent an edict to the State of Han, and he didn't have to do anything else. King An of Han could only send Han Fei to Xianyang obediently. It was unlike this world. He actually brought Gai Nie to Xinzheng, under the pretext of seeking talents, which was simply a joke.

If I hadn't been lucky, I would have died in Xinzheng.

"You've gone off topic again. Once King Zheng of Qin seizes power, he will definitely use military force against the State of Zhao. With the fighting power of the State of Zhao, it can probably hold out for five or six years. During these five or six years, I must control the State of Qi. Only in this way can we have the strength to fight against the State of Qin in the future." Yang Chong withdrew his thoughts. The King Zheng of Qin in this world brought him limited pressure. After all, this was a world that seemed to be true but was not.

"What if you don't control Qi by then?" Zi Nu questioned. Although Qi is very weak now, it is still a big country and is by no means comparable to Han. If it were easy to seize such a country, it would not be Yang Chong's turn. Yan and Zhao would have taken action long ago.

Over the years, Zhao's military strength could be said to be no less than that of Qin, but it always won fewer battles than it lost in its battles with Qin. Isn't it because its overall territory was weaker than that of Qin and it could not last long on the battlefield?

Zhao had long coveted Qi's resources, but Qin was weak but not empty, and behind it was Qin pulling it back, so Zhao could not annex Qi. Even so, Zhao had not encroached on Qi's territory over the years, but it could only encroach on it. No country in the world today could conquer Qi.

Can Yang Chong do what even a country cannot do? Although Zi Nu has sufficient confidence in Yang Chong's martial arts, serving the country requires more than just martial arts.

"If I fail to do so, I will naturally take you and escape to a secluded paradise. Do you think I will really run into you head-on?" Yang Chong spread his hands, looking relaxed. He is a man with aspirations, but he has many aspirations, not just to dominate the world. Success is certainly exciting, but if it fails, he will not be too disappointed. He can just wait for the opportunity.

The one who wins in the end is the real winner. No matter how many times you win in the process, if you fail at the last time, it is still not considered a success. Isn’t there Xiang Yu in later generations?

Anyway, Yang Chong would never make things difficult for himself. When living, the most important thing is to be happy.

"I have seen your failure." Zi Nu looked at Yang Chong like this and really didn't know what to say. Is this a person who wants to struggle? He doesn't look like that at all!

"Zi Nu, you are wrong. You are cursing me." Yang Chong was speechless. Where is Zi Nu's understanding? When did she become so sharp? Yan Lingji was still better. She believed whatever Yang Chong said.

"I didn't, it's just you. You just don't look like someone who can do great things." Zi Nu looked at Yang Chong. In her eyes, Yang Chong was just a somewhat 'cute' vulgar man. As for those who left their names in history books, all of them were ruthless people, but Yang Chong was not such a ruthless person. If a person is not ruthless, he will have many concerns, and it is difficult for people who have many concerns to succeed.

"Then what kind of people are capable of doing great things?" Yang Chong asked.

Of course Yang Chong knew who he was, but Zi Nu did not really understand Yang Chong's mentality. It could be said that no one in this world could truly understand Yang Chong's mentality.

Yang Chong, a person who does not belong to this world, looks down on this world. Yang Chong is proud of being a time traveler. Although he will not become arrogant because of this, he will look at anyone in this world with a somewhat detached attitude, even if that person is Qin Wangzheng.

“People who achieve great things must be thick-skinned, cruel, and unscrupulous in order to achieve their goals. Although you are not thin-skinned, your heart is not cruel enough. You seem to care about nothing, but in fact you care more than most people.” Zi Nu looked at Yang Chong. If she hadn’t seen through Yang Chong’s true nature, how could she have pinned her future on Yang Chong? If Yang Chong was really one of those people who achieved great things, she would have to think carefully about her choice.

"I'll take it as a compliment." Yang Chong said with a smile, then his face changed, and he continued: "I'm going to a banquet tonight, you have to be careful at home, Mo Ya is not worthy of our absolute trust."

"So in Ji Wuye's understanding, we are your weak spot now?" Zi Nu's face became serious when she heard this. She could not help Yang Chong now, but precisely because of this, she could not hold Yang Chong back.

"Of course it's a weak point, but it's not easy for Ji Wuye to break into our house. The White-Armored Soldiers are not vegetarians either. I will tell you how to control the White-Armored Soldiers before I leave." Yang Chong said.

Bai Yifei is dead, but the white-armored soldiers refined by Bai Yifei fell into Yang Chong's control. Although their number is not large, they are all first-class elite soldiers. Each of the white-armored soldiers refined by witchcraft has strength that is not inferior to the Night Killer. With mutual cooperation, they can even deal with the Black Crow.

"Don't worry. Although I can't help you kill Ji Wuye, I can protect your home for you." Zi Nu promised. She was not a delicate lady. She was also a wanderer in her early years and had seen all kinds of dangers.

"Whose home?" Yang Chong caught Zi Nu's mistake in the question.

"It's our home." Facing Yang Chong's teasing gaze, Zi Nu rolled her eyes. She knew why Yang Chong said that. Although she was a little shy, she still replied, "Our home."

"That's right, this is our home." The shy Zi Nu made Yang Chong in a good mood. He stretched out his arms and hugged her directly into his arms. He kissed her delicate lips, leaving a lingering fragrance on his lips, and then he strode away.

"Look after the house and wait for me to come back."

"Is this home?" Zi Nu looked at Yang Chong's departing back. She did not retract her gaze until Yang Chong completely disappeared from her sight. She looked at everything around her. She had not lived here for very long and still felt a sense of unfamiliarity. However, in this strangeness, she also felt a sense of comfort that she had never felt before.

The feeling of home is not something Zilanxuan can give you.

Chapter 176 Night Banquet

When Yang Chong left home for the banquet at the General's Mansion, Han Fei had already arrived at the Palace of King Han with the letter from Qin and presented it to his father, King Han An.

King Han An looked at the letter in his hand, and a look of surprise and doubt appeared on his pale face. King Qin Zheng had actually been to Xinzheng, and Ji Wuye had the audacity to attack King Qin Zheng. What was even more surprising was that Ji Wuye failed in Xinzheng, and now, King Qin Zheng wanted to take Ji Wuye's head. There were not many words in the letter, but the information contained in it was too rich.

As the King of Han, he didn't even know that so many things had happened in Xinzheng more than half a month ago.

"You were involved in this from the beginning to the end?" Han Wangan put away his shocked thoughts and turned his gaze to Han Fei. What role did Han Fei play in this matter? What role did he play?

Was the appearance of this letter the result of Han Fei's instigation?

There are too many stories of loving fathers and filial piety in the royal family. For King Han An, Ji Wuye is certainly an annoying powerful minister, but his descendants like Han Fei are people he needs to be more wary of, because no matter how powerful Ji Wuye is, he is still a minister after all, and it is very difficult for him to usurp the throne. But Han Fei is different. As his descendant, people like Han Fei are naturally very close to the throne.

"How is that possible? My father knows me. I am most afraid of trouble. How could I take the initiative to cause such trouble? Everything is just a coincidence." Han Fei explained. He was very smart, so he knew what his father was most taboo about. He had to explain it clearly to prevent his father from thinking too much. Moreover, he was the most unlucky one from beginning to end of this matter.

"The King of Qin's letter is now here. What should I do?" King Han An looked at Han Feishao and felt that although Han Fei was smart enough, he was not so cruel. Therefore, he let down his guard. However, the head of Ji Wuye mentioned in the letter made him feel troubled again.

Ji Wuye is a martial arts master himself, and he has Ye Mu as his eyes and ears, and the elite soldiers in the army acting as his minions. It is not an easy task to take his head. If one is not careful, South Korea will fall into civil strife.

But now South Korea is already very weak and can't withstand any more turmoil.

"Sima Yang and the general are now at loggerheads. I got the news that the general invited Sima Yang into his mansion tonight and planned to ambush and kill him," Han Fei said.

"Yang Chong is Ji Wuye's man, why would Ji Wuye want to kill him?" Han Wangan said in shock.

Yang Chong was able to ascend to the position of Sima of Han State in less than half a year and replace Bai Yifei's position in the Han army system, ranking second. It was Ji Wuye's promotion behind the scenes. In Han Wangan's opinion, Yang Chong and Ji Wuye should be in the same group, but now Han Fei told him that Ji Wuye was planning to ambush and kill Yang Chong in the mansion. This matter was really too weird.

"Because Yang Chong is too strong, so strong that Ji Wuye has to be wary of him, and Yang Chong is too lawless. He could have killed Bai Yifei before, and he can also kill Ji Wuye later. More importantly, in the matter of King Qin Zheng, Yang Chong chose to stand on our side." Han Fei said.

"Why does Yang Chong want to help you? He is your collaborator?" Han Wangan looked at Han Fei with more scrutiny. Just now, Han Fei did not tell him how Qin Wang Zheng escaped from Ji Wuye's hands, and he did not know the role Yang Chong played in it. But now Han Fei told him that Yang Chong had helped Qin Wang Zheng escape from Han State, which made this matter even more intriguing.

"Yang Chong took action only because the woman he liked happened to be Ji Wuye's enemy." Han Fei explained hurriedly. Although Han Wangan's guess was the truth, he could not let Han Wangan think that was the truth. He knew what his father was taboo about. If Yang Chong really cooperated with him, his suspicious father would be unable to sleep or eat.

He could tolerate the existence of a great general like Ji Wuye, but he might not be able to tolerate the alliance between a prince and Sima.

"Woman?" Han Wangan was stunned. He did not expect this answer. Although he was also lustful, he preferred his power. If power and beauty conflicted, he would choose power without hesitation. But with Yang Chong?

"It's a woman. Yang Chong and Miss Zi Nu, the owner of Zi Lan Xuan, love each other and are a couple. Miss Zi Nu has a good friend named Wei Zhuang, and Wei Zhuang has a senior brother named Gai Nie, who is the swordsmanship teacher of Qin Wang Zheng. When Qin Wang Zheng came to Xinzheng, he brought no one with him but Gai Nie. If Ji Wuye wants to kill Qin Wang Zheng, he must kill Gai Nie first. And Wei Zhuang can't just sit back and watch his senior brother being killed, so he was also involved. As a result, Zi Lan Xuan also became Ji Wuye's target." Han Fei explained.

"Yang Chong fell out with Ji Wuye because of a woman?" Han Wangan was stunned. He felt it was absurd. His logic made it difficult for him to understand such a description.

Although there has always been a lot of people who are willing to risk their lives for the women they love, they are a minority after all. How come he happened to meet this one?

"Although this reason is far-fetched, it is true. Although Yang Chong is a martial arts master who is unrivaled in the Kingdom of Han, he is actually just a young man who has just reached adulthood in his twenties." Han Fei continued to make up lies and mixed them with the truth, which only made Han Wangan feel that there was some truth in them.

"Right now, what do you think I should do?" Han Wangan pondered and temporarily chose to believe Han Fei, so he asked this question. This question was also his final test of Han Fei.

"Everything depends on my father's decision." Han Fei stopped showing off his intelligence at this time. He understood the principle of "too much is as bad as too little". Excessive behavior would only deepen his father's suspicion. After so many years, he also understood his father's psychology and naturally knew how to deal with it.

"We can't afford to provoke the Qin State, and we can't act rashly with the general..." Han Wangan pondered, trying to find a way to have the best of both worlds.

Han Fei just waited quietly and never spoke a word, but he already knew that Han Wangan would come up with his own solution.

"You go to the General's Mansion with my edict. If Ji Wuye really fights with Yang Chong, you can wait and see. If Ji Wuye kills Yang Chong, then don't show the edict. We will find a way to explain to King Qin Zheng. If Yang Chong kills Ji Wuye, you show the edict and send Ji Wuye's head to Xianyang." After thinking for a long time, King Han An thought he had come up with a solution that would satisfy both parties.

As expected! Everything was in Yang Chong's plan. Han Fei sighed when he heard this. His father might not be so stupid. If it were a peaceful and prosperous era, he might be able to enjoy a lifetime of wealth and glory. But in this era of great contention, he is dying a slow death.

"Yes." Han Fei responded. Han Wangan's words were enough, because he was sure that Ji Wuye would definitely not be a match for Yang Chong, because Yang Chong knew Ji Wuye's background very well, while Ji Wuye didn't know how strong Yang Chong was.

Not long after, Han Fei left the palace, met up with Wei Zhuang who was waiting outside the palace, and headed directly to the General's Mansion, where the show had probably already begun.

The General’s Mansion, Quege.

As the owner of this place, Ji Wuye prepared the most delicious wine, the most delicious food, the most beautiful music, and the most beautiful dancers for Yang Chong. Although Ji Wuye was not very generous to the living, he was very generous to the people he thought were dead, because the living might take away his things, but the dead could not, and in his eyes at this moment, Yang Chong was a dying person.

"I remember the first time I came to the general's mansion, the general met me here." Yang Chong shook the wine glass in his hand. The wine was like blood, rippling with amber light. It was a fine wine that even the Han Palace might not have.

"Who would have thought that in less than half a year you would have become our Korean Sima. When I was your age, I was still working hard to practice martial arts and was thinking about making a name for myself one day." Ji Wuye recalled, looking at Yang Chong with envy in his eyes.

Yang Chong was far too young. At the age of twenty, he already possessed a power that most people would never possess in their entire lives. How far could he go in the next few decades? Ji Wuye found it difficult to imagine this, but he would definitely go further and be stronger than him.

"It's all thanks to the influence of my ancestors." Yang Chong said modestly. Of course, he had a good talent for martial arts, but he was able to surpass young geniuses like Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang and reach the level of a master in just a few years, all thanks to his golden finger. Without the magic of the energy-absorbing technique, he would not have been able to make such rapid progress. Without the magic of the Zhouliuxu technique, he would not have been able to suppress the sword intent in his body and he really would not have dared to come to the General's Mansion tonight.

"The influence of ancestors is really enviable." Ji Wuye smiled, but there was murderous intent in the depths of his eyes. He not only envied the influence of Yang Chong's ancestors, but also wanted to take it into his hands. After tonight, what Yang Chong had would belong to him. He would use this to break through the Grandmaster realm, possess stronger strength, and seek greater power.

"I also envy the general's power, second only to the general." Yang Chong was also laughing. Ji Wuye was plotting against his martial arts, and he was also trying to break through Ji Wuye's status as a general.

Ji Wuye is a big bad guy, but Yang Chong is not a good guy either.

"You can't envy other people's things anymore. If you really want to envy them, you have to take them back." Ji Wuye changed the subject, and there was a grim look in his words.

"What do you mean, General?" Yang Chong's face changed color, as if he was frightened by the murderous intent in Ji Wuye's words.

"Yang Chong, half a year ago you were just a wanted fugitive, but now you are the Sima of South Korea. All this is given to you by me." Ji Wuye said, his palm pressing on an ornament on the table.

As Ji Wuye pressed down his hand, a cage fell from the sky and directly covered Yang Chong.

"General, what do you mean?" Yang Chong looked at the metal cage that trapped him. His not-so-great acting skills made him appear somewhat panicked and confused.

"I have given you power and status, so shouldn't you repay me in return?" Ji Wuye looked at Yang Chong in the cage and smiled. He knew that Yang Chong's martial arts were very high, but now Yang Chong was trapped in a cage, and there were dozens of crossbows pointing at Yang Chong inside Quege. But how could Yang Chong, in such a small space, resist the shooting of powerful crossbows?

Even if Yang Chong could rely on his horizontal training skills to hold on for a while, he would be captured by the strong attack and consumption of the powerful crossbow. Human power has its limits. Moreover, the wine Yang Chong just drank was also spiked with something.

"General, just tell me what you want. Why do you have to do this?" Yang Chong said helplessly, with a hint of pleading in his words.

"Weren't you very arrogant in Zi Lan Xuan that day? Why are you so cowardly now?" Ji Wuye was very proud. He was scared away by Yang Chong in Zi Lan Xuan last time, and he was really angry. Fortunately, he was going to get his revenge tonight.

"Aren't I just cooperating with you? As you said, everything I have now depends on your help, and now, you are about to die, so naturally I have to fulfill your wish." Yang Chong touched his forehead and acted helpless this time. He was not acting, it was a completely real mentality, so it looked more real in Ji Wuye's eyes, but also more annoying.

"You are still so arrogant when you are about to die. I hope you can still be tough next time. Shoot." Ji Wuye gave an order, and all the crossbows that came out from various corners of the room shot towards Yang Chong.

"You can't dodge, you can only take it." Ji Wuye looked at the motionless Yang Chong and not only did he not feel anything unusual, but he thought that it should be so.

He trapped Yang Chong in a cage in order to maximize the attack power of the crossbow.

However, Ji Wuye's confidence soon turned into shock. He saw Yang Chong still sitting in the same place, not moving a muscle, allowing the crossbow arrows to shoot at him. However, when the crossbow arrows reached Yang Chong, their directions were strangely twisted, and they missed Yang Chong one by one.

"What kind of method is this?" Ji Wuye was stunned and shocked, and vaguely felt something was wrong.

He seemed to see the wind around Yang Chong. The wind changed the airflow and the attack direction of the crossbow arrow.

"Isn't this what you want, General?" Yang Chong was still drinking, ignoring the danger around him.

“Then you need to perform better and don’t die so easily.” Ji Wuye calmed himself down. He didn’t believe that Yang Chong still had a chance to counterattack under such circumstances.

"You think too much. You want to kill me with just this little thing." Yang Chong laughed and waved his hand. There was no fluctuation of true energy, but flashes of lightning flashed in the space, destroying all the crossbows.

This is the method of Zhouliuxu Gong, which takes one's own vital energy as the negative pole and regards the vital energy of heaven and earth as the positive pole. The negative pole attracts the power of the positive pole, mobilizes the power of heaven and earth, and thus achieves a mythical means of attack.

The first of the so-called time, situation, method, technique and tools is to regard yourself and the world as tools.

However, although this method of using one's own negative pole to attract the positive pole of heaven and earth is powerful, it will constantly and passively strengthen one's own negative pole during use, and will eventually exceed its own limit. When the uncontrolled negative pole attracts stronger positive energy from heaven and earth, it will put oneself in a desperate situation. This is the so-called heavenly calamity of the Zhouliu Liuxu Gong.

However, these are still far away for Yang Chong. Now he only needs to know that Zhou Liuxu Gong is very powerful, enough for him to kill Ji Wuye tonight. As for the future heavenly tribulation, that is a matter of the future.

"What?" Ji Wuye was shocked when he saw this. When did Yang Chong have such a skill? In his intelligence, Yang Chong had never shown his current martial arts.

Not good!

Chapter 177 Ji Wuye's Death

At this time, Ji Wuye has realized that the intelligence he collected was wrong. Why was the intelligence collected by Ye Mu wrong? Did Mo Ya and Ying Ge betray him, or did Yang Chong keep something from the beginning to the end?

No matter which situation it is, Ji Wuye doesn't want to see it.

One bow and crossbow after another was destroyed by lightning. This unexpected change in the plan made Ji Wuye very uneasy. Fortunately, he had made sufficient preparations to ambush and kill Yang Chong.

The general simply abandoned the Quege that he had carefully built and jumped out of the window. The moment he left, metal plates rose from the roof and the surrounding walls. Even the floor was covered with metal plates. Ji Wuye was really fully prepared.

"Yang Chong, no matter how high your martial arts skills are, it is wishful thinking to escape from the cage I prepared for you. Just go on your way with peace of mind. As for your martial arts, I will find them in your home." As Ji Wuye's voice disappeared, the last metal plate fell down and sealed the last window.

"How can there be such a thing in a place like Xinzheng? Where on earth was it dug out from? But it would be such a waste to use it like this." Yang Chong looked at the black liquid seeping from the gaps in the metal plate. He had no idea what this thing was.

Perhaps no one in this world knows more about these black liquids than Yang Chong.

"Light a fire." Ji Wuye said ferociously outside Quege. His original intention was to capture Yang Chong alive, but the error in intelligence made him lose the confidence, so he could only use the last resort. As for Yang Chong's martial arts, he could not care about it for the time being. He only hoped to find some useful things in Yang Chong's home afterwards.

"Yes." With an order, torches were thrown towards Quege. The flames penetrated into the interior through the gaps in the metal plates and instantly ignited the black liquid.
