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

"Trouble." Yang Chong circulated his true Qi to strengthen his strength to the extreme, pried open the metal cage with his bare hands, and punched the wall. With the power of the punch he punched out with all his strength after digesting the power of the Luowang Killer and practicing the Zhouliu Liuxu Gong, the power had already exceeded the previous limit. With a huge bang, the metal barrier was directly dented. Under the force of the impact, the metal plate let out a groan as if it could not bear the weight, and suddenly exploded.

In the original trajectory, Mo Ya had used the arrow shot by Ji Wuye to break the metal plate on the roof. With Yang Chong's current skills, there was no reason why he could not do what Ji Wuye could do.

"What a luxury." Yang Chong sneered. Although he could pretend that the blazing flames around him did not exist, the smell produced by the burning black liquid was not so pleasant. It was poisonous.

Yang Chong just thought it was an ordinary thing, but in the eyes of Ji Wuye who was outside Que Pavilion, it was a completely different matter. The Jedi he had carefully prepared could not even trap Yang Chong for a moment.

Is the power of the Grandmaster really so irresistible? Ji Wuye only felt his hands and feet cold. Yang Chong was no longer in a state of low health. He was at his peak, even better than the state during the battle of Zilanxuan. At this moment, Ji Wuye had no confidence, even though this was his territory.

"Yingge and Moya have misled me." Ji Wuye felt regretful in his heart, but once the arrow has been shot, there is no turning back. At this point, he and Yang Chong had completely broken off relations, and the only way out was to fight to the death. There was no other room for maneuver.

"Go." Ji Wuye's shocked expression gradually turned into determination. Now he had no choice but to try his best to kill Yang Chong. Only in this way could he have a chance of survival. Being targeted by a master, even a king of a country would have trouble sleeping and eating.

At Ji Wuye's command, armored soldiers holding large shields and long spears formed a solid wall, and swords and spears surrounded Yang Chong from all directions. Archers drew their bows and pointed arrows at the sky, and arrows were thrown towards Yang Chong like raindrops.

This is the power of the army. Ordinary masters will have no choice but to die when facing such a killing machine, but Yang Chong is not one of them.

At the moment the rain of arrows fell, fire dragons rose from Yang Chong's body, and violent flames shot straight into the sky. The arrow shafts were on fire, but they had lost their power before they hit the ground.

In the restlessness of the flames, it seemed that the air was also distorted by the scorching temperature, and the direction of the airflow changed, turning into wind. It seemed to be the sound of a breeze, very weak, but it made people feel a biting chill.

"It turns out that the wizard is the most noble." Yang Chong evolved wind power with one hand and fire power with the other. When the two powers were combined, a wind blade with a fiery red color spread out instantly with him as the center. Wherever it passed, the space seemed to be distorted, causing a ghostly howl of the wind.

Before the sound of wind and fire subsided, screams were heard among the soldiers in the General's Mansion.

"How could this happen? Are you a human or a ghost?" Ji Wuye looked as if he had seen a ghost. His rough and dark face turned very pale, but it was extremely pale. What did he see?

In Ji Wuye's sight, wherever the red wind blade passed, his armored guards were all cut in half, but no blood flowed out of the wounds. Instead, they were charred black. At the moment they were cut in half, their wounds had been sealed by flames.

The power of wind and fire combined together is so powerful?

At this moment, Ji Wuye thought of a natural disaster called the Burning Wind. In midsummer, there was a natural disaster that combined the power of wind and fire. Wherever the Burning Wind passed, the grass and trees withered and the farmers had no harvest. In this era, this was the most terrifying disaster.

However, the burning wind would only cause farmers to lose their crops and thus cause famine, but it would not directly take people's lives. But now what Ji Wuye saw was that all the personal guards he had carefully trained were actually shattered, while Yang Chong only used one move.

This is not martial arts at all, but the means of gods and demons. Ji Wuye was really scared at this time. He was not afraid of Yang Chong's martial arts, because no matter how high a person's martial arts was, it still belonged to the category of human beings, and the army could still surround and kill him.

Tonight, in order to capture Yang Chong, he not only prepared five hundred personal guards in the General's Mansion, but also left a battalion of three thousand soldiers outside the General's Mansion. These people will be able to arrive quickly, and with thousands of soldiers to surround and kill one person, even a master will suffer.

But now the methods displayed by Yang Chong are beyond his understanding, because the greatest fear of mankind comes from the unknown.

“Humans always call the existence they cannot understand ghosts and gods. However, your misunderstanding is a good one.” Yang Chong walked towards Ji Wuye step by step. At this time, it was not only Ji Wuye who was frightened, but also the surviving soldiers. Their courage was not even as good as Ji Wuye’s.

"This is a misunderstanding." Ji Wuye's heart was trembling, he no longer had the courage.

"Then let this misunderstanding continue." Yang Chong said.

Seeing Yang Chong approaching, Ji Wuye's last bit of courage disappeared: "Go, go, kill him for me."

But he turned and ran away.

However, he was not the only one who was frightened. When he chose to escape, he also took away the last bit of courage of the soldiers in the General's Mansion. A general is the courage of the soldiers, and if he escapes, the soldiers' morale will dissipate.

In the chaos, Yang Chong didn't bother to pay attention to the small fry and went straight towards Ji Wuye. But how could Ji Wuye's speed be faster than Yang Chong's?

Ji Wuye ran wildly all the way, but found that the scenery in front of him was getting farther and farther away from him. He was clearly rushing forward, but his whole body was moving backwards.

No, no, it's that kind of martial arts, that kind of martial arts. Ji Wuye wanted to shout, but found that he could no longer control his body. At this moment, he only felt that his body, his blood, his skills, and even his soul were being pulled by a huge devouring force from behind.

He already understood. He had learned about similar methods from Ye Mu's intelligence. It was a kind of martial art that could eat people, and now he was the one who was going to be eaten.

Ji Wuye wanted to admit defeat and beg for mercy, but Yang Chong didn't give him any chance. Until Yang Chong's palm was on his neck, he was still thinking about begging for mercy, but unfortunately, the only response he got was the loss of his vitality.

In a moment, Ji Wuye was thrown away by Yang Chong like a piece of garbage.

“If you can muster up the courage to fight me, you can hold on for a while, until the army you ambushed outside arrives. Unfortunately, you are too cowardly. Years of pampering have made you arrogant and conceited. Once your arrogance is exposed, you will become as timid as a mouse, going from one extreme to another.” Yang Chong said with disdain. He thought Ji Wuye could hold on for a while under his hands, but he didn't expect Ji Wuye to be so unbearable.

"Please spare my life, please spare my life. I can give you whatever you want, including my position as general. As long as you can let me go, everything I have will be yours." Ji Wuye begged humbly. Now he only wanted to survive.

"Is the general so honorable? He is just a small general of the Kingdom of Han, and you think he is precious. Let alone the general, even the king of Han is nothing." Yang Chong sneered.

The territory controlled by the King of Han was not even as big as a county of Qin. To be king here was even worse than being a frog in a well, because although an eagle would fly over the well, it would not be concerned about the frog in the well trying to unify the country. But it was different for the King of Han. There were people around him who really coveted his throne.

"Yes, yes, yes, the King of Han is nothing to him." Ji Wuye said repeatedly. Now he only wanted to keep his life. Not to mention admitting defeat, he would even be willing to be called father.

"After all, you are a great general and you have been kind to me, so I should treat you with respect." Yang Chong's attitude seemed to soften.

Ji Wuye was overjoyed when he heard this. He saw hope of survival, but the next moment, the joy on his face froze. Yang Chong waved his hand and a sword energy slashed across Ji Wuye's neck.

This is not the dignity I want. This is Ji Wuye's last thought in this world.

But this is the dignity that Yang Chong wants to give him. After all, he is a great general of the Kingdom of Han. He humiliates the ministers and bullies the King of Han. It is really a disgrace to him to be so servile and uncaring about his image. However, Yang Chong is a grateful person. Although he wants to kill Ji Wuye, his benefactor, he will not allow his benefactor to be humiliated too much. Therefore, as a grateful person, he decides to fulfill Ji Wuye's final dignity.

Ji Wuye's head fell to the ground. His square face and round head rolled on the ground, but this was his last dignity.

At this time, Han Fei and Wei Zhuang also came to the General's Mansion with the imperial edict of King Han An. On the opposite street, teams of soldiers were rushing towards them. Inside the General's Mansion, there were still flames burning, and billowing black smoke rose straight into the sky.

"Has it started?" Han Fei looked at the soldiers on the opposite side, and then at the fireworks in the general's mansion. There was only one person that these information pointed to, and that was Yang Chong.

"Something's wrong." Wei Zhuang's perception was sharper than Han Fei's. He felt that the General's Mansion was too quiet at this moment. There must be something wrong.

"Please inform the general that Han Fei would like to see him." Han Fei did not care about anything else and shouted directly to the gatekeeper of the general's mansion.

"No need. I'll bring the general to see you." Before the doorman could answer Han Fei, the door of the general's mansion opened from the inside, and Yang Chong's figure appeared in the sight of Han Fei and the others.

"You..." Han Fei wanted to ask something, but his eyes fell uncontrollably on Yang Chong's hand, which was holding a bloody human head. The face was not good-looking, but Han Fei recognized the head at the first time. He also believed that in Xinzheng, few people would not recognize this head.

"Where is the imperial edict?" Yang Chong did not respond to Han Fei, but extended his other hand to him.

"Here." Han Fei said in a daze, and almost subconsciously took out the imperial edict from his sleeve and handed it to Yang Chong.

Ji Wuye died, just that easy?

You know, in order to defeat Ji Wuye, he tried various methods, but none of them worked.

He had to admit that Ji Wuye was a very powerful person. No one who could become a powerful official was simple. Ji Wuye held the military power in one hand and controlled the night sky with the other. He managed a huge force from the official to the civilian level. It was extremely difficult to defeat such a person.

But now, this person, who he didn't know how to defeat, was held captive by Yang Chong.

That's a head, not a ball!

While Han Fei was shocked to the point of numbness, Yang Chong looked at the oncoming troops. He was familiar with the leader, as he had seen him at Ji Wuye's banquet.

"I am ordered by the king to kill the traitor Ji Wuye. Do you have any objection?" Yang Chong's clear voice responded on the street, but the soldiers on the opposite side felt a biting chill.

In their minds, the invincible general Ji Wuye was actually dead, and now Yang Chong was holding his head.

The leader looked at Yang Chong and the head in his hand, his expression struggling and changing. Finally, he jumped off his horse and said, "When I received Ji Wuye's order, I immediately thought he was going to cause trouble, so I decided to take advantage of his trick and send troops here to put an end to the chaos and restore order."

"Yes, we are all loyal subjects of the king." Yang Chong said with a smile.

Han Fei felt sad when he saw the scene in front of him. Is this the loyal minister and general of Han?

Chapter 178 I am also a general

Ji Wuye died, and his head was carried into the palace by Yang Chong.

He looked at Ji Wuye's head with a sigh in his heart. Although he hated Ji Wuye, Ji Wuye was a great general of South Korea after all. He and he were both civil and military officials, and they were both very powerful officials in South Korea. To some extent, they were people of the same identity.

But now Ji Wuye is dead, and died in a very undignified way. His head was placed in a wooden box and will be sent to the State of Qin soon.

If the general can be killed so easily today, what about him as the prime minister tomorrow?

The saying "birds of a feather flock together" is exactly what Zhang Kaidi felt at the moment.

"Now Ji Wuye is dead, but the general is an important official of our Han Dynasty. Han Dynasty can do without Ji Wuye, but it cannot do without the general. Now that you are all here, who do you think is suitable for the position of general?" Han Wangan's eyes moved back and forth between Zhang Kaidi, Han Fei, Yang Chong and others. Ji Wuye is dead, but how to distribute the inheritance left by Ji Wuye is a problem that must be solved.

The death of Ji Wuye was also a good thing for King Han An. Powerful ministers like Ji Wuye had committed the above crimes repeatedly. If Ji Wuye had not been so powerful, he would have taken action against Ji Wuye long ago. Now, Ji Wuye offended the State of Qin due to fate and met an unreasonable person like Yang Chong, so he died. This was a good thing for him, but a good thing cannot turn into a bad thing. After one Ji Wuye passed away, there cannot be a second Ji Wuye.

Therefore, the selection of the new general became crucial to King Han An.

"Father, Wei Zhuang is a disciple of Guiguzi. He is a martial arts expert and is proficient in military tactics. He can be a great general." Han Fei said. He knew that what he said at this time would make his father think too much, but he didn't care about that.

Han has a powerful enemy on its side. If it falls into endless internal strife, what will Han use to fight back when Qin attacks? Therefore, he must seize enough power as soon as possible. Only by seizing power can he display his ambitions and talents and make Han strong as soon as possible.

"Father, although Wei Zhuang is Guiguzi's disciple, he still has little experience. His senior brother was only the swordsmanship teacher of King Zheng of Qin in Qin State. In our Han State, there is no reason for Wei Zhuang to be directly appointed as the general." Before King Han An could respond to Han Fei's sword intention, Han Fei's brother Han Yu spoke.

Han Fei wanted to promote Wei Zhuang to the position of general because Wei Zhuang was his good friend and ally, and Han Yu prevented Wei Zhuang from taking the position of general also because Wei Zhuang was Han Fei's good friend and ally.

Han Fei aimed at the Kingdom of Han, while Han Yu aimed at the throne of Han. Although the two seem to be the same, they are actually very different.

"Prime Minister, what is your opinion?" Han Wangan looked at his two sons for a while. He did not respond to them immediately, but turned his gaze to Zhang Kaidi.

"Your Majesty, the general is a high-ranking official with great power. The decision must be made by Your Majesty yourself." Zhang Kaidi played tricks and threw the question to Han Wangan.

"Yes, the position of general is related to the safety of our Han state, so we must be cautious." Han Wangan pondered, but his eyes inadvertently glanced at Yang Chong.

According to Han Wangan's analysis, Yang Chong should have reached some kind of deal with Han Fei. After all, Yang Chong is now the Sima of Han State, and is only one step away from the position of general. As for what Han Fei said that Yang Chong fell out with Ji Wuye because of a woman, Han Wangan did not believe it. He believed that he could not do such a thing, and he also believed that Yang Chong would not do such a thing. But now Han Fei did not recommend Yang Chong to be the general.

And Yang Chong? He also looked like he had nothing to do with it.

Didn't they reach some kind of deal? Han Wangan analyzed and tried to find some clues. If Yang Chong and Han Fei reached a deal, he would never let Yang Chong be the general. But if the relationship between the two was just ordinary, then Yang Chong would be a very suitable candidate for the general.

As for the reason? First, Yang Chong was strong enough. Although a person with excellent martial arts skills is not suitable for the position of general, it is at least a necessary condition for being a general. Second, Yang Chong had no foundation in the court of Han. Such a person could become a general, but not a powerful minister.

Coincidentally, what King Han An needed was a great general, not a powerful minister.

As for people other than Yang Chong? Han Wangan thought about it and thought of Wei Zhuang. Wei Zhuang could never be appointed as the general, at least for now.

But apart from Yang Chong and Wei Zhuang, there are very few people who are suitable to be the general. If Zhang Kaidi is allowed to recommend, it is inevitable that the prime minister and the general will be from the same family. But if the existing generals in the army are promoted, there is no way to say whether there is a suitable candidate. Even if there is, there is a high probability that the person was once loyal to Ji Wuye, and now that Ji Wuye's death is so aggrieved, it is inevitable that the person will have other ideas.

Han Wangan weighed the pros and cons and could not make up his mind for a moment, so he could only say: "This matter is of great importance, I still need to think more about it. Let's leave it here for now. However, Ji Wuye's head is what Qin Wangzheng wants, and someone needs to deliver it to Xianyang."

"Father, my ninth brother gets along well with King Zheng of Qin and is the best candidate." Han Yu said impatiently.

Although the matter of the general was temporarily shelved by Han Wangan, in order to avoid any complications, Han Yu still had to send Han Fei to Qin temporarily, to prevent Han Fei from stirring up trouble in Xinzheng and really pushing Wei Zhuang to the position of general.

Although he just said that Wei Zhuang's qualifications were too inexperienced and not suitable for the position of general, he was just saying it.

You should know that Wei Zhuang is a disciple of Zongheng and Guiguzi. With this identity alone, Wei Zhuang can enter and leave the court of any of the seven countries in the world. Among all the schools of thought, the identity of a disciple of Zongheng is the most valuable. After all, there are only two disciples in each generation of Guiguzi. Moreover, judging from past history, every disciple of Zongheng is a brilliant person, and even the losers among them have once been feared by the world.

Just like Pang Juan, although he was a ridiculous loser, he just couldn't beat Sun Bin. Before Sun Bin served the State of Qi, Pang Juan was a general who could shock the world.

Relying on the reputation gained by successive generations of Guiguzi disciples, it is really possible for Wei Zhuang to directly become the general of the Kingdom of Han.

Therefore, in order to avoid complications, Han Yu must remove Han Fei from Korea and finalize the candidate for the new general before Han Fei returns to Korea. Only in this way can he rest assured.

At this point, in Han Yu's opinion, anyone could be the new general, except Wei Zhuang.

In the end, Han Fei had to go to Qin again, taking Ji Wuye's head with him, while King Han An returned to the harem. As for the candidate for the general, he still couldn't make up his mind for a while.

Ji Wuye's shadow has dissipated, but King Han An, who is troubled by another problem, comes to Madam Mingzhu's bedroom. Now he is no longer able to pursue women, but as a king, he cannot let the outside world know that his body is no longer good, so there are still a few favored beauties in the harem, such as Concubine Hu and Madam Mingzhu.

With such a beauty by his side, he can send a signal to the outside world that his body is still healthy.

So he often stayed in the bedrooms of several beauties, and today was no exception.

"Is there anything troubling your king?" Madam Mingzhu closed the lid of the incense burner and walked towards King Han An with light lotus steps.

"Now that Ji Wuye is dead, the position of the general cannot be vacant. But who will be the general is a troublesome problem." King Han Ando said, not knowing whether it was because of the incense or something else that he was in a particularly relaxed mood.

He didn't hide anything, of course, he didn't think there was any need to hide anything. After all, Madam Mingzhu was his, and the harem was a world of its own. Even if Madam Mingzhu knew something, it would not have much impact.

"Your Majesty should have already had a few candidates, right?" Madam Mingzhu showed a little more curiosity.

"Yes, there are two people who are more suitable at the moment, one is Yang Chong and the other is Wei Zhuang." Han Wangan said.

"Yang Chong and Wei Zhuang? They are both very powerful people!" A hint of strangeness appeared in Madam Mingzhu's eyes that Han Wangan had not noticed.

"They are all young talents, but Yang Chong's mind is unpredictable. In just half a year, Bai Yifei and Ji Wuye both died at his hands. Seeing him always makes people feel inexplicably chilled." Han Wangan recalled that Yang Chong made him feel very dangerous. Even though he was the king of Han, he found it difficult to feel at ease. After all, there was the precedent of Bai Yifei and Ji Wuye.

"If that's the case, we might as well let Wei Zhuang be the general. He is a disciple of Guiguzi and I think he is capable enough." Madam Mingzhu followed Han Wangan's words.

If possible, Madam Mingzhu would certainly hope that Yang Chong would become the general. After all, the more powerful Yang Chong became in the future, the more security she would get. But she couldn't say it directly, otherwise it would easily arouse Han Wangan's vigilance.

"No, Wei Zhuang..." Han Wangan denied Madam Mingzhu's proposal, but he did not state the specific content. He could not say that it was because Wei Zhuang was on good terms with Han Fei, and he was afraid of his own son, right?

Han Wangan may have such fears, but he must never say it out loud, because that would be too embarrassing.

"Your Majesty, I shouldn't interfere in matters outside, but there is one matter concerning the inner palace, and it is also Your Majesty's family affair. I think I should tell Your Majesty." Madam Mingzhu said, observing Han Wangan's expression.

"What's going on?" Han Wangan's mind was tense. What could have happened in the harem? Could it be that someone had cheated on him? Thinking of this, Han Wangan's face turned ugly.

"It's about Princess Honglian." Madam Mingzhu turned the topic to someone who had nothing to do with the previous topic.

"Honglian, what's wrong with her?" Han Wangan felt relieved when he heard this. He thought that Honglian was just being willful again. It was just a small matter, at least compared to the fact that he was cuckolded.

"Your Majesty knows that Honglian once learned martial arts from Yang Chong." Madam Mingzhu said tentatively. She was using appropriate words to reveal the connection between Honglian and Yang Chong.

"I know about this. Yang Chong's martial arts are unmatched in South Korea. I feel at ease with him teaching Honglian martial arts." Han Wangan nodded.

"Your Majesty has a keen eye. Honglian's martial arts have indeed made great progress during this period of time. However, Your Majesty also knows that Honglian is still a girl after all, exactly the age of the young boy Mu Ai, and Yang Chong is only a few years older than Honglian and is also very brave. The more they interact with each other, naturally there will be more thoughts between a boy and a girl." Madam Mingzhu said.

"Did Yang Chong have evil intentions towards Honglian?" Han Wangan frowned and clenched his hands into fists. Although he was the King of Han, he was more of a father. When he heard that the precious woman he had raised for fifteen or sixteen years was being spied on by a man, how could he not react?

"I don't think so, but he should have a good impression of Honglian. I have also tried to probe him from Honglian's words and found that Yang Chong has not done anything inappropriate towards Honglian. Instead, Honglian seems to be in love and has placed all her love on Yang Chong." Madam Mingzhu was definitely not setting a trap for Yang Chong at this time. She was trying to help Yang Chong get the position of general.
