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 said 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 by one, and the fattest one 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.
