Chapter 186 It’s better to go back
Honglian got beaten!
When Yang Chong heard about this, he was very surprised, but when he heard that the person who beat Honglian was Niu Shang, he did not think it was an exception at all.

As Jingwei, the former top-ranked killer of Luowang, in Weichang's understanding, apart from her two children, there is probably only a difference between people who can be killed and people who cannot be killed. Honglian's so-called princess identity really does not go well with her.

So when Yang Chong arrived at the scene, he saw this scene: Honglian was squatting beside the stone table with her legs hugged, looking angry but not able to speak. Her beautiful peach blossom eyes had turned into peaches, and her curled up little body was trembling.

Only Niu Shang was completely unconscious and just stood there. She had every reason to defend herself against Honglian who suddenly rushed in with murderous intent. Moreover, Honglian was still alive now because she had gradually concealed her murderous intent, learned how to live, and was willing to abide by the rules except for being a killer. If it were the old her, she might have drawn her sword instead of just taking action.

"What's going on?" Looking at the scene in front of him, Yang Chong could only ask the question even though he knew the answer.

"I was beaten, you have to help me get revenge." When Honglian saw Yang Chong's appearance, she instantly found her courage and burst out with a speed that made Niu Shang look sideways. She rushed to Yang Chong's side in an instant and hugged Yang Chong's arm without saying a word. You Zi felt that she couldn't hold Yang Chong tight enough, so while using both arms, she also used deep and shallow towering to fix him, so that she felt that Yang Chong could not escape now.

"She suddenly broke in and looked like she wanted to kill someone." Niu Shang seemed to understand something at this time and explained, but even though she was explaining, there was no trace of guilt on her face. She didn't think she had beaten the wrong person.

"How could I? It was you who wanted to kill someone." Honglian raised her eyebrows, and she looked unruly and cruel. She had never been beaten by anyone in her life, but she was beaten today, and she was beaten very badly.

"It's all misunderstandings, all misunderstandings. Niu Shang doesn't know you, Honglian, and you can't be too impulsive!" Yang Chong acted as a peacemaker. It is not advisable to escalate the conflict.

When Niu Shang heard Yang Chong defending her, there was a slight fluctuation in her eyes, but no one knew what she was thinking.

"You have to help me teach her a lesson." Honglian still wanted to complain, but she couldn't care less about raising an army to accuse her.

"No." Yang Chong refused without thinking. How could Yang Chong bully Niu Shang for Hong Lian? He would only bully Niu Shang for himself.

"I am a princess." Honglian's stubbornness was aroused again. She came here today with grievances, but she never thought that she would experience even greater grievances.

"It's true that you are a princess, but Niu Shang is also a princess." Yang Chong said seriously. Although Honglian is cute and charming, a rare beauty, Yang Chong is about to leave Korea and there is no need to pamper her too much.

"Nonsense, she is obviously the killer, don't think I don't know her identity."

Yang Chong’s rejection made Honglian feel even more aggrieved, but as a princess, she had no habit of tolerating power. When she felt aggrieved, Honglian would just vent it. As for the cost of venting, she was a princess and could naturally afford it. This was the experience she gained from time and time again.

"It's true that Niu Shang is not a princess, but just like you are a princess of Korea, to me, Niu Shang is the princess of this family." Yang Chong explained.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yang Chong frantically improved Niu Shang's favorability.

Regarding this former top-notch killer of Luowang, Yang Chong did not think that Jingwei would really be loyal to him because of his deal with Qin Shi Huang.

The biggest reason why Niu Shang could appear in this family at this time should be his deal with King Zheng of Qin, followed by his two children, and finally because of Yang Chong. Yang Chong was aware of this.

As for Niu Shang's obedience at night, Yang Chong would not misunderstand anything.

Although he always felt that Niu Shang's acting skills were not that good, he could not deny Niu Shang's professionalism. When she played a role, she really devoted herself to it, just like when she was in Weijia Village. Even though Yang Chong was just a country boy at that time, when Niu Shang played the role of his wife, she still devoted herself to it, even when facing Yang Chong's excessive demands.

"You, you guys are ganging up on me!" Honglian was so aggrieved that she was about to collapse after hearing this. Why was she the outsider here?

Doesn't Yang Chong want to marry her? Then what about the news she got from Madam Mingzhu? Who is lying to her? Honglian thought aggrievedly, and felt that Yang Chong had never been so annoying as he was now.

Looking at Honglian with tears in her eyes, Yang Chong didn't say much.

Although Honglian has grown up, she still has the temper of a child because she was spoiled. If Yang Chong tries to coax her at this time, it will only have the opposite effect. Yang Chong has experience in this regard.

Only Niu Shang was looking at the scene in front of her, her eyes flickering, but she was not observing Honglian's reaction, but was staring at Yang Chong's reaction. Now she seemed to realize that she had caused trouble for Yang Chong, but she did not regret it.

She was just waiting for Yang Chong's reaction. She had already put herself into the role of a wife and would continue like this forever if possible. Then, could Yang Chong become a real husband?
Niu Shang didn’t know what kind of mood she was in, but she realized that deep in her heart, she had an expectation.

It would be wrong to say that Niu Shang had no feelings for Yang Chong, the first man in her life and the father of her two children. It was just that her killer instinct allowed her to hide those feelings well.

So, as a woman, Niu Shang still cares about how her man will react when a woman gets into trouble. And will Yang Chong give her an answer that satisfies and makes her heart move?
Honglian wanted to use the same method she used to deal with Han Wangan and Han Fei to deal with Yang Chong, but Yang Chong did not accept it, which made her feel even more wronged. When she was about to cry, Yang Chong finally spoke up: "I probably won't be able to stay in Korea for a few more days."

"What?" Honglian, who was preparing a big move, instantly ignored the grievance. Yang Chong wanted to leave? Compared to the fact that she was beaten, Yang Chong wanted to leave Korea, which was more important.

"Are you leaving Korea?" Honglian asked anxiously with a look of shock.

"Yes, all my goals in coming to Xinzheng have been achieved, and it's time to leave." Yang Chong said. The power of the night is constantly shifting to Zhao and Qi, and it makes no sense for Yang Chong to stay in Han, after all, time is running out.

"How can you leave South Korea? You are a great general of South Korea." Honglian spoke very quickly at this time, her soft lips opening and closing rapidly, just like her current mood.

"Becoming a general has never been my dream. My dream is not in Korea, and Korea is not my hometown." Yang Chong gave three reasons.

"Is there no one in Korea worthy of your staying?" Honglian looked at Yang Chong tremblingly.

This young and innocent princess had just grown up and understood some things. She had the worries of adults and the happiness that only adults could experience. However, this happiness had not yet fully blossomed and was about to die.

"Yes, but I also have my own life and my own ideals. Our lives are still long and we cannot stay in one place. I believe that in the future, fate will allow us to meet again." Yang Chong showed off his metaphysics, which was often very lethal to a girl like Honglian who was about to step out of youth but had not yet truly matured.

Which girl can withstand such teasing?

"Meet? Will it happen?" Honglian murmured uncertainly. Only then did she truly realize that she was just an ordinary girl. The identity of a princess brought her a lot, but it also made her have many constraints. She would not complain about these constraints, because compared to the constraints brought by this identity, she got more.

But this does not mean that Honglian will accept her fate. The princess may accept her fate, but Honglian will not. In the future, she will break free from her own shackles.

"We will be able to meet again in the future, I promise." Honglian, who knew that Yang Chong was determined to leave, no longer acted like a little girl. In an instant, she seemed to have matured a lot.

"Of course. Although the world is big, it is actually very small. How about I give you another gift before you leave?" Yang Chong looked at the Honglian in front of him. What kind of charm would a mature Honglian have?

Yang Chong was not clear about this, but he knew that Honglian would definitely not become Chi Lian because he was not Wei Zhuang.

"I don't want gifts, I want martial arts."

The gift can only make her happy for a while, but what Honglian wants is the power to break free from her restraints. Martial arts is the power that she can possess. After all, she is not Han Fei and cannot participate in the struggle for power and become the chess player. All she can do is practice martial arts. If she can have the strength like Wei Zhuang, a palace wall or a city will not be able to control her.

"Okay, then I will teach you martial arts." Yang Chong agreed readily. He had taught Honglian a lot of martial arts before. Now that he was leaving, he would naturally not be stingy. After all, although Chi Lian might not appear, he was still looking forward to a truly mature Honglian. A blooming red lotus flower does not necessarily have to experience the fire of hell.

In the next half month, Honglian went in and out of Yang Mansion every day to learn martial arts from Yang Chong. Yang Chong also fulfilled his promise and taught Honglian real martial arts and the complete Nine Yin Scriptures.

Following Honglian's actions, an unusual rumor appeared in Xinzheng, but before the rumor could spread, it was covered up by another piece of news.

General Yang Chong, who had been in office for less than three months, submitted his resignation to King Han An. This news appeared on the streets of Xinzheng like a bolt from the blue. For a time, the whole Xinzheng, from royal nobles to peddlers, was discussing this matter.

The general is the head of the military commanders and is on the same level as the prime minister. In the Kingdom of Han, he is truly second to none. How glorious was Ji Wuye in the past, and how powerful was the general. But even so, General Yang Chong has to resign from his position less than three months after taking office.

Are there such stupid people in the world?
“Of course there is no such stupid person in the world. In the eyes of people like us, the general is an extremely important person, but that may not be the case for Yang Chong. From the beginning to the end, his goal was not the Kingdom of Han, let alone the general of the King of Han. Now I realize that he was not bragging at the time!” Han Fei, who had returned from Xianyang, was also quite surprised to hear the news.

Although the position of general was originally part of the deal between the two, Han Fei was still quite surprised that Yang Chong resigned from the position so abruptly. He once thought it was just bragging, but now it couldn't be more true.

What else could Yang Chong have wanted if he had given up his position as the general of the Kingdom of Han? Of course, it could have been the throne.

"Only people who like to brag think that others also like to brag." Wei Zhuang's words were still sharp, and his words were like knives.

"You'd better not say that. It's a good thing that Yang Chong is leaving. Working with someone like him is too terrifying." Han Fei smiled. He would be the biggest beneficiary of Yang Chong's departure from Korea. After all, Wei Zhuang was the most suitable person to replace Yang Chong, and Wei Zhuang was his ally. The two of them had similar ideals, and their cooperation, one in literature and the other in martial arts, would surely create a brand new Korea.

"You think too highly of him. Compared to becoming a king, it might be more appropriate for him to be a passer-by in this world. He is just like you. Although he is smart, he has too many thoughts, which is not good. Moreover, he is different from you. You have a lot of thoughts but not your hands. You can only think about many things, so you don't spend too much energy on them. But he is different. He can not only think, but also do. In this way, he can get everything, but in the end he will get nothing."

Wei Zhuang thought he knew Yang Chong quite well. To some extent, Yang Chong and Han Fei were similar people, except that Yang Chong had martial arts skills that Han Fei could not even dream of.

"So, are you praising us or scolding us? But never mind. Today I have to visit our outgoing general. He is about to leave Korea. If I don't ask him something, I'm afraid I will never have the chance again." Han Fei smiled, and then put on a serious look.

Han Fei had more doubts about the problems that he once could not understand as Yang Chong stepped to the forefront step by step.

He only recovered half of the 100,000 gold military pay that was robbed. At that time, Ji Wuye suspected that he had embezzled the other half, and he also suspected that Ji Wuye had done something wrong. However, in the subsequent investigation, he found that Ji Wuye did not know the whereabouts of the other 50,000 gold.

In Xinzheng, there should be no one who could hide it from him and snatch food from Ji Wuye. Because of this judgment, he did not have any more doubts until Yang Chong's fangs gradually appeared in front of him.
