Chapter 191 I am Yang Chong (beginning of the month, asking for monthly tickets)
In the following period of time, Yang Chong did not receive a reply from the Zhao Palace, but Yang Chong was not in a hurry. He stayed at home all day to train the martial arts of the women in Zi Lan Xuan. At the same time, he collected information about Rao'an and made his own plan based on the information.

One must eat one bite at a time and walk one step at a time. Although the situation is urgent for Yang Chong, he still has the necessary stability.

On this day, Yang Chong was teaching martial arts to the girls in Zilanxuan when a man from Zhao Palace appeared in the hall of Yang's house.

King Yan of Zhao couldn't wait any longer; half a month was his last chance.

"King Yan of Zhao is such a person. He is wise, but impatient and a bit eager for quick success. I thought he could endure it for a month, but he couldn't bear it after only half a month." Yang Chong said to Zi Nu before leaving.

"The process of King Yan of Zhao's ascension to the throne is quite controversial. People all say that he tampered with the will of the previous king of Zhao and seized the throne that belonged to his brother Zhao Yi. He is also a proud and conceited person. He has been wanting to prove himself over the years. He has been on the throne for several years and is in urgent need of proving himself and his ability. Your appearance just gave him the opportunity to prove himself. It would be strange if he could resist being tempted." Zi Nu explained to Yang Chong. During this period of time, under the cover of night, she had investigated a lot of things.

"So he is going to be tricked." Yang Chong smiled faintly. In the war in the eleventh year of King Zheng of Qin, Qin State tricked King Zhao badly. Not only did they lose soldiers and territory, but they even made themselves angry to death.

"Isn't that our chance?" Zi Nu, who already knew Yang Chong's plan, agreed.

"Now that you mention it, why do I feel like we are villains? Are we bad guys?" Yang Chong asked strangely.

"Of course we are good people." Zi Nu said righteously. Who would admit that they are bad people? Although they are indeed using Zhao Wangyan, isn't Zhao Wangyan also using them?
"It's easy to be a good person, but it's not easy to be a bad person. If possible, I also want to be a real villain. In this world, I may become an evil dragon that many people want to assassinate!" Yang Chong showed a complicated look while speaking. That road is not clean, but since he has decided to take that road, Yang Chong will not regret it.

People have desires after all. If it is said that Yang Chong chose that path for the sake of the people of the world, it would be a bit hypocritical. After all, he did it for himself. He coveted the power at the top. As a man, who doesn't have the desire to sleep on the lap of a beautiful woman when drunk and hold power in his hands when awake?
But if it is said that Yang Chong can sacrifice anyone for his own selfish reasons, that is not the case. He is just an ordinary man, how can he be so noble?
What he will do in the future is of course to satisfy his own desires. If he can do something good for the people of the world in the process, then it would be the best of both worlds.

Just as Yang Chong defined himself, there is a bottom line, but there are not that many bottom lines.

"Men's desires are really superficial." Zi Nu took the opportunity to sarcastically say that if possible, she only wanted to have her own home, but Yang Chong, as a man, wanted more. What could she do about it? She could only help Yang Chong realize his wish. After all, for her, a place with Yang Chong was a real home.

"After all, humans are animals too!"

……

After leaving the mansion, Yang Chong boarded a carriage from the Zhao Palace. Soon he arrived at the gate of the Zhao Palace, got off the carriage and walked into the palace.

Compared to the narrowness of the Palace of King Han, the Palace of King Zhao is much more grand, but in terms of refinement it is far inferior to the Palace of King Han. However, in terms of grandeur and magnificence, it still has to be the Palace of King Zhao. In the whole world, the only country that can compare with the Palace of King Zhao is probably the Qin State, which is of the same origin as the State of Zhao.

After passing through several palace walls, a side hall appeared in Yang Chong's sight.

"Mr. Yang, the king is waiting for you inside." The eunuch led Yang Chong to the steps in front of the hall and stepped back on his own initiative.

Yang Chong nodded in response, then walked directly into the hall. He could already feel that there were not many people in the hall.

Sure enough, after Yang Chong walked into the hall, he only saw three people. In addition to Guo Kai, the other two were an old man and a middle-aged man.

Needless to say, the middle-aged man is King Yan of Zhao. As for the old man, his hair and beard are all white, and his face is full of wrinkles. Although his eyes do not have the turbidity of an old man, this man is Pang Nuan, a veteran general of the State of Zhao who has been active for more than fifty years and whose age is a mystery.

Two years ago, Pang Nuan led the Zhao army from Hedong to break into the heart of Guanzhong, Qin State, and attacked all the way to the city of Zhicheng. His troops were only a hundred miles away from Xianyang, which was his peak moment and he became famous all over the world.

As for King Yan of Zhao, he looked quite heroic. Most of the nobles of this era were blood nobles, and had been passed down for hundreds or thousands of years. During this long period of time, their appearance genes had long been selected to be extremely excellent. Therefore, among the nobles, the probability of being born ugly was very small, and King Yan of Zhao was obviously not one of those people with such a small probability.

He looked to be in his thirties, with strong facial features and a rather flamboyant demeanor, but he was very hot-tempered, and it was a false fire. It was obvious that he had taken too many tonics. There was no effect for the time being, but if the false fire accumulated in his body was stimulated and exploded, he might die suddenly.

When Yang Chong was looking at Zhao Wangyan and Pang Nuan in the hall, the two were also looking at Yang Chong.

At such a young age, could he really split off from Qi and even replace Qi? Zhao Wangyan looked at Yang Chong and felt that Yang Chong was too young, probably just an adult. How could such a person replace Ji Wuye in Han in half a year? Or was Han already so weak that a young man could stir up the situation? Zhao Wangyan pondered and doubted the plan he had made with Guo Kai.

Compared with Zhao Wangyan, Pang Nuan remained calm, but he got more information from Yang Chong than Zhao Wangyan.

This is a master, a young master, a real master, someone who could even become invincible in the future. The Jiang family and the Lu family have been frustrated for so many years. Could it be that a great figure has really emerged? Pang Nuan pondered and became more and more curious about Yang Chong.

Although martial arts cannot represent everything, the fact that Yang Chong can master such powerful martial arts at his current age shows that there is no problem with his talent and character. Such a person will not be too bad at doing anything. After all, Yang Chong is too young and has enough time to do one thing well.

If he had his own foothold, he might really be able to overthrow the Tian State of Qi and restore Qi to its former name.

"Yang Chong greets King Zhao." After taking a quick look, Yang Chong took the initiative to bow and salute. After all, this was someone else's territory, and he had to show enough respect to King Zhao Yan as the host.

After all, everyone lives under someone's roof. Isn't everything Yang Chong is doing now just to allow himself and his family to stand upright in front of anyone?
"Should I call you Yang Chong or Lu Chong?" Zhao Wangyan asked without much emotion.

What he wanted to raise was a wolf that could tear apart the State of Qi, not a tiger that could bite back.

In the past half month, he did not summon Yang Chong, not only to control him, but also to take advantage of this time to collect as much information about Yang Chong as possible. After all, he would invest a lot in Yang Chong in the future, and hoped to get a greater return. If he did not investigate Yang Chong thoroughly, he would not be at ease.

This investigation was not a big deal. After the investigation, King Zhao Yan himself was surprised. He only knew that Yang Chong became the general of Han in less than half a year, but he didn't know how Yang Chong became the general. After the investigation was clear, King Zhao Yan felt a chill down his spine. After all, the relationship between Yang Chong and Ji Wuye was indeed complicated, and their feud was also very subtle.

But King Yan of Zhao did not need to understand the subtleties. He just needed to know that Yang Chong was suspected of being a traitor. The difference in identity made it easy for him to put himself in the role of Ji Wuye.

Some things are just like that. Once you do them, you will get the benefits as well as the disadvantages.

This is what Ji Wuye’s death meant to Yang Chong. It has cast a shadow over his considerable reputation, which can bring huge harm at certain times.

"Lü Chong is only referring to Qi State. Now I am just Yang Chong." Yang Chong replied.

People like Zhao Wangyan only thought that Lü Chong was Yang Chong's real name. They didn't know that Yang Chong was Yang Chong's real name, because this name was not only his name in this life, but also his name in his previous life.

"The Prime Minister has told me your demands. Now I want to know what you can give me in return." Zhao Wangyan asked. He was concerned about Yang Chong's specific character, but not much. What he wanted was tangible benefits.

"The resources of Qi." Yang Chong replied.

"Zhao State has it too." King Yan of Zhao was unmoved. He couldn't reveal his cards too early.

"But it's not enough. Zhao is no match for Qin."

"What do you mean by the resources of Qi?" King Yan of Zhao continued to ask. What he wanted to know now was Yang Chong's attitude. It was true that Qi was a piece of fat meat now, but if this piece of fat meat was eaten by Yang Chong and it allowed Qi to revive its former martial arts and made Zhao a powerful enemy in the east again, then he would not even be in a hurry to cry.

"The land of Jibei, the State of Yan, and countless money and grain every year." The conditions offered by Yang Chong were very generous, but they were all empty words anyway.

"Yan State does not belong to you." King Yan of Zhao's expression changed, but he didn't know whether Yang Chong had understood anything when he mentioned Yan State.

"It belongs to the king. If I become the King of Qi, I can help the king to seize Yan. Then, with the combined forces of Zhao and Yan and the wealth of Qi, the king will be able to stand side by side with Qin in the east and west, or even defeat it in battle."
