Chapter 158 The Devil in the Song, King Qin Comes from the West

"This chapter is about Fuxi in the zither, and the next chapter is about the Demon Saint in the strings." Under Zi Nu's curious gaze, Yang Chong's fingering changed, and the sound of the zither also changed, becoming high-pitched and passionate.

"This is unworthy of the title of Demon Saint among Strings!" Zi Nu looked at it carefully and found that only the tune had changed, but nothing else seemed to have changed.

"Demon Saint?" Unlike Zi Nu, Nong Yu, who already had a certain understanding of Fuxi Shen Tian Xiang, noticed something unusual and couldn't help but look at a vase opposite Yang Chong.

"Invisible sound blade?" As Nanyue observed, she saw that the originally intact vase seemed to have some changes. The mouth of the vase was still the same, but at its bottom, there were wisps of white silk threads.

"That's not silk thread, but cut porcelain?" Nanyue's eyes flashed, her heart was shocked, and she thought of a possibility.

Zi Nu also noticed the abnormality of Nanyue. Following Nanyue's gaze, she also saw a number of "white lines" on the ground.

"What is this?" Zi Nu's heart was shocked. Her martial arts skills were higher than Nanyue's, and her knowledge in martial arts was also higher than Nanyue's. Seeing the white line on the floor in the distance, how could she not understand the reason?

"Is this an invisible sonic blade? What kind of sonic attack technique is it that has such power?" As Zi Nu talked to herself, she felt a chill in her body.

The vase is made of porcelain, which is hard and brittle. It is easy to break. It will fall to the ground and break into pieces with just a slight push. This is its brittleness. But it is harder than gold and iron. On the one hand, it will break at the slightest touch, but on the other hand, it is harder than gold and iron. When these two properties appear on an object at the same time, it brings a special property to the object.

It is easy to break it, but it is extremely difficult to cut a piece from it without damaging the overall shape.

Wei Zhuang's sword can cut stone with one blow, but it may not be possible to cut a thread from a vase without damaging other parts of the vase.

A sword that can achieve such an effect must be both hard and soft, and both external and internal strength must be cultivated to the limit. It requires a person to control his or her strength to a minute degree, and the sword must be extremely fast.

It can be said that the swordsman who can wield this sword must have practiced swordsmanship to the pinnacle.

Wei Zhuang might be able to do it now, but he definitely can’t do it as easily as Yang Chong. It’s just ordinary.

What's even more terrifying is that the zither used by Yang Chong, the strings plucked by his fingers, is a musical instrument, not a sharp sword, which makes it exponentially more difficult.

"Such a sound blade is invisible and intangible. What if it is aimed at a person?" Zi Nu shuddered at the thought of this. She seemed to have seen the broken limbs and arms all over the ground.

This was not just her delusion, but something Yang Chong could really do.

This is nothing! Honglian realized it later and was about to say something, but she saw that both Nongyu and Zinu had solemn expressions on their faces, as if they had heard or seen something, and quickly swallowed the words that were about to come out.

Everyone else seemed to have discovered something, but she was the only one who didn't notice anything. If she told others about it, wouldn't it be embarrassing? Was she the dumbest one?
Honglian's hesitation to speak meant something completely different in Han Fei's eyes. Han Fei was helpless towards his silly sister and could only hope that she would have fewer setbacks in the future.

Does such a person really have the strength to plot against a country? But whether he does or not, the people around him will never be quiet. Han Fei thought about it, and his eyes also fell on the broken vase.

At this time, Wei Zhuang walked into the room. He also heard the sound of the piano in the next room, and even heard the murderous intent in it. He was not very interested in music, but he was very interested in the murderous intent.

Under the short white hair, his cold eyes turned and fell on the vase in the first moment. He felt the fluctuation of the air, which was a kind of energy, similar to the existence of sword energy.

Is this the Le family's trick? While Wei Zhuang was staring, he kicked the table next to him away.

At this time, Honglian also noticed it.

When the case flew to a place, it suddenly stopped. The doubt in Honglian's eyes had not yet bloomed, but it had already turned into shock. The case made of high-quality wood was broken into pieces in an instant, and pieces fell to the ground, as if it was cut by a mysterious force.

"Is it the sound of a piano? Can the sound of a piano have the same effect as a sharp blade?" Honglian's doubts were resolved, but he immediately fell into even greater confusion.

At this time, Yang Chong also withdrew his hand. The strings of the zither were still vibrating and the sound of the zither had not completely dissipated, but Zi Nu felt a deep chill. If she were replaced in the position of the vase, would she be able to deal with it?

"What do you think? Is my song worthy of the Demon Saint among the Upper Strings?" Amid the shock of several people, Yang Chong smiled complacently, without any trace of his previous demeanor.

"Well deserved." Zi Nu said. Tonight, her impression of Yang Chong was refreshed again.

"Nongyu, you will be able to master the external music very quickly. From now on, I will teach you the method of internal cultivation." Yang Chong's gaze fell on Nongyu. This young woman from Zi Lan Xuan is not as fragile as she looks. She is much stronger than ordinary women. At the right moment, she can do something earth-shattering.

Naturally, Yang Chong would not treat her as a mere vase. Even if he would not let Nongyu help him do anything dangerous in the future, the people who followed him would inevitably be in danger. What he had to do was to make sure that Nongyu, Zinu and others had the ability to protect themselves.

Compared with the sorrow and melancholy of separation between life and death, Yang Chong prefers a story with a happy ending.

"Brother Yang, this kind of martial arts must be extremely precious. I cannot learn it." Upon hearing this, Nanyue showed no surprise, but only fear.

Even though she had never been in the martial arts world, she knew that every kind of superior martial arts was regarded as a treasure by the wealthy and powerful families and the various schools of thought. Ordinary people could never encounter it, let alone learn it. Moreover, the means that Yang Chong had just displayed were beyond her ability to describe. Such martial arts could be called divine skills. What qualifications did she have to be taught by Yang Chong?

"I've said that this is a unique family skill. From now on, we just need to be a family. What's the matter, Nanyue? Are you calling me Brother Yang falsely?" Yang Chong said with a serious face.

"This..." Yang Chong's serious tone made Nanyue hesitate. She was delighted that Yang Chong valued her, but also terrified that Yang Chong loved her by mistake. She wanted to be close to Yang Chong, but was afraid that her behavior would make Yang Chong think too much. For a moment, the girl's heart was filled with worries, which she couldn't sort out or explain.

"Just learn from what he teaches you. He will not do business at a loss." Zi Nu hugged Nong Yu's shoulders. Compared to Nong Yu's sensitivity, the boss of Zi Lan Xuan was much more mature. Tonight was what she fought for Nong Yu.

This is the era we live in. It is too friendly to men.

"He taught you such powerful martial arts. Even if you want to run away in the future, he won't let you." Zi Nu whispered in Nanyue's ear. Her sister was too stupid. In order to avoid being eaten up by Yang Chong, she, as an elder sister, had to stand up.

"Master, Master, if Nanyue doesn't want to learn, I will. Can you teach me?" Honglian didn't have the same concerns as Nanyue. She wanted to pounce on Yang Chong at this moment. The sound of the piano was really amazing. Nanyue's eyes were attracted by Honglian's words. Looking at the confident and lively princess in front of her, Nanyue's pride was aroused. Why can't I do it? Big brother taught me, not you.

Nong Yu thought about this and said, "Brother Yang, I will learn."

Yang Chong also laughed: "That's it!"

"What about me?" Honglian was unhappy when she saw that Yang Chong ignored her. She also wanted to learn more powerful martial arts.

"Didn't I say I would teach you another martial art? Sound attack is not suitable for you. You can't just learn the strongest martial arts, you have to learn the one that suits you best." Yang Chong said.

"Okay." Honglian muttered. Although she was a little envious of Nanyue, she was more looking forward to the new martial arts that Yang Chong would teach her.

At this point, Yang Chong got a new job.

……

In the same time and space, Qin State, Ganquan Palace.

"What did you say? The king left Xianyang and went to Han?" Queen Dowager Zhao, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes, didn't care about her etiquette and directly grabbed the eunuch in front of her by the collar and pulled her in front of her.

"Yes, Queen Mother. Before the king left, he told us not to leak the news. It was not that we intended to conceal it." The eunuch was about to cry, but what could he do?

He was just a eunuch serving the king in the Xianyang Palace. Among the eunuchs, his status was already very high, but he was not just a slave in essence. He had no choice but to obey the orders from the king, even if they were enough to take his life.

"How many days has the king been gone?" Queen Mother Zhao left the eunuch and felt a splitting headache. Even though she did not understand the struggle for power, her years of experience allowed her to see many things. The King of Qin was not in the Xianyang Palace, but left Qin secretly and went to another country. Even if he traveled secretly, it was absurd enough.

As a country, there is no room for any mistakes, and if you go to South Korea privately, there are more than just mistakes along the way.

Although the King of Qin is the most powerful king in the world and has millions of subjects, there are also countless people who want him dead. What if the news leaks out that the King of Qin is not in the Xianyang Palace but in the Kingdom of Han?

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.
