Chapter 175 Hunter and Prey

"I have received the general's invitation. You go back and tell the general that I will be there on time." At the Yang family, Yang Chong accepted the invitation sent by Mo Ya. Ji Wuye finally got the news he wanted and has started to act.

"I will bring the message, but you still need to be careful. Ji Wuye is planning to lure you into the General's Mansion under the pretext of a night banquet, and then ambush and kill you." Mo Ya, who had already reached a deal with Yang Chong, directly told Yang Chong Ji Wuye's true purpose.

"It's rare that Ji Wuye has made up his mind, how can I not cooperate? Han Fei will be entering the city soon, right?" Yang Chong has been looking forward to Ji Wuye's so-called plan for a long time. Now everything is ready, only Han Fei is missing. With what Han Fei has in his hands and his eloquence, it should be an easy thing to convince Han Wangan.

"Ye Mu has been keeping an eye on Han Fei's movements. Han Fei will be able to enter Xinzheng around dusk." Mo Ya replied.

"I hope he won't let me down. What else does Ji Wuye plan to do besides inviting me?" Yang Chong asked.

"He ordered me to mobilize troops to besiege Sima Mansion in addition to taking action at the General's Mansion, in order to control Sima Yang's family." Mo Ya replied. Now as Yang Chong's subordinate, he controlled thousands of troops in Xinzheng through Sima Mansion. In addition, the person behind him was Ji Wuye, which gave him extremely strong control over these troops. Without the king's order, he could really mobilize a lot of troops.

“Ji Wuye is Ji Wuye after all. Even though he’s a bad guy, he’s also a cunning one. No wonder he’s been a general for so many years.” Yang Chong was happy. If he hadn’t been the one pushing all this, he might have really been tricked by Ji Wuye. This is the power that cannot be replaced by personal martial arts.

No matter how strong a person's martial arts skills are, he is still a human being after all. The people in this world have their own limits and cannot do things that only gods can do. Power is the power to control people and can do things that humans cannot do.

"He is very interested in your martial arts." Mo Ya said. To some extent, he was Ji Wuye's confidant, and he knew some of Ji Wuye's thoughts.

"There are many people who are interested in this, and Ji Wuye is just one of them. But coincidentally, I am also very interested in his horizontal training skills. Although it is not as good as the hard skills of the Pijia Sect, it can also be regarded as a first-class horizontal training method in the world." Yang Chong was not surprised. Ji Wuye could plot against his martial arts, and he could also plunder Ji Wuye's skills. After all, he was also a bad guy, and a stronger bad guy than Ji Wuye.

"The General's Mansion is full of traps and ambushes with elite soldiers. Although your martial arts are high, you should be cautious. I don't want to see you fail." Mo Ya reminded. Although he had agreed to work for Yang Chong, the prerequisite was that Yang Chong could really defeat Ji Wuye.

"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 Qin King Zheng in this world is not invincible. This world is not the world in history after all. The Qin King Zheng is not impeccable. In real history, the Qin King Zheng wanted to see Han Fei, but he sent an imperial edict to Han State directly. He did not need to do anything else. Han Wang An could only send Han Fei to Xianyang. It was not like this world. He actually brought Gai Nie to Xinzheng, under the pretext of seeking talents. It was a joke. If it were not for good luck, he would really die 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.
