Chapter 161: Slay the dragon?
The way women look at women is different from the way men look at women, just like Zi Nu and Han Fei now.
When Zi Nu heard that Jing Niu and Yang Chong were once husband and wife, her heart skipped a beat. In this era, a man could have many women, but he could only have one legal wife. So for Zi Nu, Jing Niu had a special meaning.
"Yang Chong has always been Luo Wang's target. At the beginning, Jing Niu probably wanted to get something from Yang Chong, so she lurked in Weijia Village. It seems that she met Yang Chong through a blind date. And Yang Chong seemed to know from the beginning that she was Luo Wang's person, but pretended not to know. So they got married as the result of luck." Wei Zhuang recalled.
Wei Zhuang didn't know much about the specific story between Yang Chong and Jing Wei, but through some clues shown by the two before, he could still guess and infer some of it.
"The relationship between the two is really complicated. Maybe they can divert the trouble to someone else, and maybe it can have a better effect." Han Fei smiled. The story between a young man and a Luowang killer more than two years ago must be very interesting. Han Fei would never believe it if he said that the two were just a killer and a mission target.
"Are you saying that the relationship between them is not that simple?" Zi Nu asked Han Fei. She could guess everything about what a woman was thinking, but she could not analyze what a man was thinking.
"Zi Nu, you are not a man, so you naturally don't understand a man's thoughts when facing his first woman. More than two years ago, Yang Chong was only sixteen or seventeen years old. No matter how smart he was, he was just a teenager after all. Jing Wei, who helped him transform from a boy into a man, must have left a place in his heart, no matter what her identity was. Moreover, with Yang Chong's methods, did he really leave nothing in Jing Wei's heart? Yang Chong is a real master of love. After all, he is a man who can make you, Zi Nu, fall in love!" Han Fei's analysis was very logical.
"So you have had such an experience too?" Seeing that Han Fei brought the conversation to herself, Zi Nu no longer cared about her complicated thoughts. She had no intention of joking with her good friend about this matter.
"This..." Han Fei's face was embarrassed. It was fun to talk about other people's things, but it was different to talk about himself.
"No matter what, the appearance of Jingwei should not be a bad thing for us." Wei Zhuang said. No matter what Jingwei's purpose is, if he wants to become their enemy, he must first get past Yang Chong.
……
"Jingniu? The Queen Mother does have such a top-notch killer in Luowang. As for whether she will betray the Queen Mother, it is probably not. Her two children are in Ganquan Palace, by the Queen Mother's side. But this does not mean that Jingniu is completely trustworthy. After all, it is hard to say how much weight her two children occupy in her heart. After all, she is a killer." When Wei Zhuang told Master Shang about the appearance of Jingniu, Master Shang said this.
"Jingwei has a pair of children?" Zi Nu, who was also here, became a little more curious.
Who could be the father of Jingwei's twin daughters? She couldn't help but be curious about this matter.
"She should be almost two years old now. According to the time calculation, she should be related to Yang Chong, if Jingwei had not performed other tasks during that period." Master Shang was not interested in answering the woman's gossip, but Gai Nie took the initiative to explain.
In Xinzheng today, Yang Chong has become a figure that cannot be ignored. He must tell Han Fei and others all the information he knows, so that Han Fei and others can make a better choice.
"They..." Zi Nu lowered her head and said nothing. She still underestimated the entanglement between Yang Chong and Jing Wei.
"That means Jingwei is very trustworthy." Han Fei pondered. If Jingwei really came to protect Master Shang, the role he could play would be greater than that of Wei Zhuang and Gai Nie. He might be someone who could hold Yang Chong back, or even get Yang Chong to help them.
"That should be the case, but we still can't completely trust her." said Master Shang.
He once had doubts about the twins who suddenly appeared in Ganquan Palace. After all, he had heard some rumors about his mother. It was also because of this that he conducted an investigation and was convinced that the twins were indeed born by Jingwei, and not the situation he worried about.
He was not interested in who the father of Jingwei's children was, but now, Jingwei and her children seemed to have become very important people.
……
When Zi Lanxuan was frowning because of the sudden appearance of Master Shang, another scene took place in the General's Mansion.
"King Zheng of Qin? He is really bold, but also really willful. Is Xinzheng really a place where you can come and go as you please?" Ji Wuye laughed wantonly.
Ji Wuye really didn't know how to describe the Qin Wangzheng who appeared in Xinzheng. Did Qin Wangzheng think of himself as King Wuling of Zhao? He followed King Wuling of Zhao and lurked in the delegation from Zhao to Qin to spy on Qin's strengths and weaknesses.
King Wuling of Zhao's actions back then were bold enough, but he was following the Zhao delegation to Qin. The Zhao delegation already had a strong defense force, and King Wuling of Zhao himself was also a top master. Even so, King Wuling of Zhao was in danger on his way back to Zhao from Qin.
Now King Zheng of Qin actually came to Xinzheng alone. He is even bolder than King Wuling of Zhao back then.
Did King Zheng of Qin really think that Xinzheng was Xianyang and no one dared to kill him?
"I have killed many people, but never a king. I really want to try killing one, especially the king of Qin." Ji Wuye rubbed his short beard. He was very interested in the deal that Luowang proposed to him.
If King Zheng of Qin died, the State of Qin would inevitably fall into civil strife. At that time, the pressure on the State of Han would be much less, and he could be at ease as his general.
"King Zheng of Qin can die at the hands of the Qin people, but he cannot die at the hands of the general." Yang Chong said. Now the defenders of Xinzheng are nominally under the command of Yang Chong. If Ji Wuye wants to blockade the entire city, he will have to help.
"Yes, he can't die in our hands, he can only die in the hands of the Qin people. However, the Qin people are here now!" Ji Wuye was very happy. Luowang's deal was too tempting. As for whether Luowang would turn against him, Ji Wuye was not worried. After all, if Luowang succeeded, he would have Luowang's handle, and the crime of assassinating the king was not a small one.
"Who is the person sent by Qin this time?" Yang Chong asked. Yang Chong was still somewhat interested in the power struggle within Qin.
In the original trajectory, it was Ba Linglong who assassinated King Zheng of Qin, and the mastermind behind the scenes was pointed at Yanri. However, in this time and space, because he had tricked Yanri, there is no so-called Lao Ai in the Qin State now, so Yanri naturally would not be able to plan to assassinate King Zheng of Qin. But without Lao Ai, Luowang's killer still appeared.
Given the status of King Zheng of Qin, the killer who assassinated him must have been ranked first among the top ranks of Luowang. There were not many killers of this rank, even in Luowang.
"You don't need to know these. What you need to do now is to block Xinzheng and never let Qin Wangzheng leave Xinzheng." Ji Wuye ordered. He did not have absolute trust in Yang Chong. "This is not difficult. Xinzheng only has a few city gates." Yang Chong did not care about Ji Wuye's vigilance. In his eyes, Ji Wuye was already a dead man.
Yang Chong was tired of playing this game and it was about time to send Ji Wuye to death. Ji Wuye was a general of the Kingdom of Han who cooperated with Luo Wang and planned to assassinate King Zheng of Qin. No one in the Kingdom of Han dared to protect him. By then, countless people would kneel down and beg Yang Chong to kill Ji Wuye.
"I'll let Mo Ya and Bai Feng cooperate with you when it comes to hiding. They are more professional and can help you find and fill in the gaps." Ji Wuye said.
"The general has made a good arrangement." Yang Chong did not comment, but he could not understand Ji Wuye's logic. He considered himself to be not stupid, but he still could not see through Ji Wuye's train of thought. He could only say that Ji Wuye was a great genius, and it was difficult for ordinary people to understand him.
"If this task can be accomplished, Sima Yang will have accomplished a great feat." Ji Wuye bewitched. He had said such words to many people before.
"We are just doing things for the general." Yang Chong smiled faintly. If he believed what Ji Wuye said, he would be naive.
Now he is the Sima of Han State. In terms of military position, he is second in the army. Only Ji Wuye's position of general ranks ahead of him. He has also made a great contribution. Could it be that Ji Wuye is going to give his position of general to Yang Chong?
Even if Ji Wuye dared to say it, Yang Chong would not dare to believe it!
Besides, Ji Wuye regards the position of general as his life, but to Yang Chong, it is just like that. If he wants it, why does Ji Wuye have to give it up? Anyone can take his place.
Looking at Yang Chong's departing back, the smile on Ji Wuye's face disappeared. He felt a dangerous aura from Yang Chong. The young man who had come to Xinzheng alone and needed his protection now had the power to threaten him.
With Bai Yifei's previous experience as a lesson, he had to be on guard against Yang Chong.
Fortunately, now is an opportunity, an opportunity to use the power of Luowang to eliminate Yang Chong and Han Fei's gang at the same time.
"I hope you won't let me down. When you successfully assist the people of Luowang to kill King Zheng of Qin, that will be the time for me to push you out and use the Qin State to take your life." Ji Wuye was thinking about his plan.
Through Yingge, he has found out some details about Yang Chong, and the information from Luowang also allowed him to verify the news sent by Yingge.
Ji Wuye has developed a keen interest in Yang Chong's martial arts. He knows very well that although he is known as the most powerful general in Korea in the past hundred years, his martial arts are far from being top-notch in the world. There are too many people who are stronger than him. He can run rampant in Korea, but when he meets those truly top masters, he is completely no match for them.
Yang Chong's martial arts gave Ji Wuye hope for further progress. After all, Yang Chong was able to kill Bai Yifei at such a young age. If this strength was purely based on talent, Ji Wuye would never believe it. No matter how strong a person's talent is, it takes time to realize it. Wei Zhuang was born in Guiguzi, and his talent is unquestionable, but his current strength is still not enough because he still lacks time to settle.
But Yang Chong seemed to not need time. Although he was about the same age as Wei Zhuang, he possessed the strength that Wei Zhuang needed to have when he was in his prime.
All this is because of the mystery of the six inheritances of Emperor Yan. Ji Wuye believes that if he can obtain the six inheritances of Emperor Yan from Yang Chong, he will go further than Yang Chong.
In addition, Ji Wuye was deeply wary of Yang Chong. He was worried that if he allowed Yang Chong to continue to develop, sooner or later he would follow in Bai Yifei's footsteps.
Ji Wuye was wary of Bai Yifei, but he was not afraid of him. It was precisely because of this that, although he knew that Bai Yifei might have other intentions, he was still able to cooperate with Bai Yifei.
But Yang Chong is different, because Yang Chong has proved that he is more terrifying than Bai Yifei.
No matter what his considerations were, Ji Wuye had his reasons to take action against Yang Chong. What's more, there was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity right now.
King Zheng of Qin actually ran away secretly and appeared in Xinzheng. He had never even thought that such a thing would happen, let alone happen.
"Is this Yang Chong? He is indeed extraordinary. I thought the six tribes of Emperor Yan had completely disappeared in the long river of history. I never thought that such a person would appear after so many years." While Ji Wuye was thinking, an old man appeared in front of Ji Wuye, as if he appeared out of thin air.
"He is indeed extraordinary. A young man who can remain safe and sound in the fight between Luowang and the farmers is not an ordinary person. But it is precisely because of this that the secret in him has greater value." Ji Wuye looked at the old man in front of him with a deep fear in the depths of his pupils. Even though this is the general's mansion and his territory, he still felt a dangerous aura from the other party. The old man in front of him could threaten his life.
Hundreds of elite soldiers in the General's Mansion were not enough to make him feel safe.
"Indeed, I haven't met such an interesting person in many years." The old man smiled, without the slightest murderous intent. He was ordinary, just like the old man at the village entrance, lazy and lifeless. However, such people are often the ones picked by time. They can be ordinary, but definitely not mediocre.
"He should be a prey that could interest the senior." Ji Wuye said with a smile.
“I guess so.” The old man smiled indifferently and disappeared again, leaving only Ji Wuye with a gloomy face. He hated people who were stronger than him.
On the streets of Xinzheng, a horse-drawn carriage was moving slowly, followed by a team of soldiers guarding it.
The carriage belonged to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and its owner was Zhang Liang, the grandson of Prime Minister Zhang. It seemed that the Prime Minister's grandson was about to leave the city late at night.
However, the city gate seemed to be closed a little early that night.
