Chapter 225 Don’t be afraid

Farming has always been a sword hanging over Yang Chong's head.

When Yang Chong first met Niu Shang, who was still Jing Niu, at Weijia Village, although he was afraid of Luowang's power at that time, he was not desperate. After all, Luowang had too many targets. Although he was one of them, he might not be that important. It was hard to say how much energy Luowang would invest in him.

And that is exactly what happened later, which was also confirmed in Yang Chong and Niu Shang’s night conversation in the boudoir.

According to Niu Shang's narration, Yang Chong knew that Luowang's plan against him was just a part of a larger plan. When Luowang's plan failed on him, Luowang was unable to mobilize enough forces to continue targeting Yang Chong.

After all, Yang Chong's martial arts skills were already quite strong at that time, and no one other than Luowang's top assassin could have taken him down.

As for Luowang, although it is powerful and its influence is spread across the seven countries, there are not many first-class masters like Luowang's first-class killer in Luowang, and each of them has his own mission. The force that can be assigned to target Yang Chong is really limited.

If the force dispatched is insufficient, it would be like sending food to the enemy. If the force dispatched is too much, it will hinder Luo Wang's other plans. After all, for the Qin State at that time, the biggest target is the six countries. Luo Wang serves the Qin State's goal of conquering the world. Compared with the six countries, Yang Chong's weight is really too light.

But the situation of the Nong family is different for Yang Chong. In one battle, Yang Chong almost wiped out all the elites of the Tian clan of the Nong family, making it very difficult for the Tian clan to continue to monopolize the power of the Nong family in the next few decades. This is the hatred of the Nong family, and the secret of Yang Chong's rapid rise undoubtedly makes the Nong family more convinced that the inheritance of the six tribes of Emperor Yan lies in him, which is beneficial.

Driven by hatred and interests, the Nong family and Yang Chong are determined to fight to the death.

The Nong family not only has enough reasons to target Yang Chong, but also has enough power. Not to mention the 100,000 disciples of the Nong family, just the six old guys of the Six Sages of the Nong family are a huge threat to Yang Chong.

Each of the Six Sages of the Farming Family is extremely close to being a master. Although they are not yet true masters, they are just one step away from becoming one. The martial arts of the six are of the same origin, and they are proficient in combined attacks. When they cooperate with each other, only the three masters can break them.

Such strength is enough to threaten anyone in the world. Even though Yang Chong's martial arts skills have improved rapidly, he still has to be cautious when facing the threat from the Six Sages of the Nong Family.

Although he was confident that he could defeat any one of the Six Sages of the Farming Family without getting hurt in a one-on-one situation, he would not have much confidence to face six of them unless he broke through to the Grandmaster level.

Facing such a master, sometimes even the army is useless. He comes and goes without a trace. Although Yang Chong himself can be fearless, the people around him and his subordinates cannot help but be afraid.

If the Six Sages of the Nong Family also learned Luo Wang's tactics, assassinating one of Yang Chong's generals today, one of Yang Chong's confidants tomorrow, and one of his women the day after tomorrow, Yang Chong himself would really be in a state of panic.

Therefore, how to solve the threat posed by farmers has always been a problem that Yang Chong needs to solve.

Moreover, not only did the farmers have sufficient reasons to take action against Yang Chong, but Yang Chong also had sufficient reasons to take action against the farmers.

Yang Chong was determined to rule the world, so he would not sit idly by and watch a force like the Nong family become his enemy. Moreover, the Nong family had sufficient capital, which made them worthy of Yang Chong's covetousness.

The farmers inherited from the six tribes of Emperor Yan, and have a long history. They have been cultivating the Huai and Si areas for hundreds of years. These places have always been the weak link in the Zhou king's feudal system. In the distant past, they originated from the Dongyi forces. Although they were successively occupied by the Xu, Wu, Song, Yue, Qi, Chu, and Wei countries, these countries have never established a ruling force similar to that of their core areas in this area.

The decline of official power has contributed to the growth of underworld forces. Among the underworld forces, what force can compare with the sects of the Hundred Schools of Thought that are centered on theory and supplemented by martial arts?

Therefore, in the Huai and Si areas, farmers successively established their sects in Daze Mountain, the Mohists built mechanical cities among the mountains, and even people from the Yin-Yang School often came and went here.

The Huai and Si areas, which now span the three kingdoms of Qi, Wei, and Chu, are a very important piece of the puzzle in Yang Chong's future plans, that is, the world structure he is building to compete with Qin in the east and west.

Although the combined strength of Qi, Yan and Zhao could compete with Qin, they could only be on the defensive. If Yang Chongruo only wanted to coexist with Qin, it would be enough to gather the strength of the three countries. However, if he wanted to compete with Qin for hegemony over the world, the land of Huai and Si would be very important.

The importance of the Huai and Si areas gave the Nong family, who had considerable influence in the region, a different status in Yang Chong's eyes. For Yang Chong, if he wanted to truly rule the Huai and Si areas in the future, the Nong family was a hurdle he could not avoid.

Moreover, Yang Chong is now a descendant of the Jiang family and the successor of the six tribes of Emperor Yan. The Nong family has usurped the sacred artifacts for so long, it is time to set things right and let the Nong family restore the glory of the six tribes of Emperor Yan.

In short, while the Nong family was always thinking about how to take down Yang Chong, Yang Chong never relaxed his vigilance against the Nong family.

At this time, Yang Chongyi already knew the news that the Six Sages of the Farming Family, along with the chivalrous leader Tian Guang and a group of elite disciples, had appeared in Dong'a City.

Although Tian Mi went out today on a whim, who knows if Yang Chong was behind it and fanned the flames.

There are many masters in the farming family. Although Yang Chong himself is not afraid, he has to be on guard against the masters of the farming family attacking people around him. Facing threats, the best way is to accurately eliminate the people who pose a threat.

How to eliminate the six sages of the farming family in one battle? Using himself as bait became one of the few options Yang Chong had.

Fortunately, Yang Chong had made a breakthrough not long ago, and it was no longer impossible for him to deal with the Six Sages of the Farming Family alone.

What Yang Chong is doing now is to lure the Six Sages of the Farming Family to attack him, and Tian Mi is a very important part of it.

After all, Yang Chong is not alone now. The Six Sages of the Nong Family are confident of their superb martial arts and can kill even a master, but Yang Chong also has a large army under his command. With sufficient protection from the army, even a master may not be able to kill Yang Chong, let alone six pseudo masters.

Tian Mi returned to Yang's house worriedly, feeling her stomach churning. Although she had used her sweet talk to the fullest in front of Tian Guang and Liu Xian, they did not really believe her.

In order to force Tian Mi to work for them wholeheartedly, Tian Guang and others naturally used some means to prevent Tian Mi from betraying them.

As for the means, for Tian Mi, who is afraid of death, is there anything more direct than the threat of death?
So at this time, Tian Mi's stomach was full of poison, and the poison had already penetrated her whole body. If there was no antidote, she would die miserably.

Farmers are good at playing with medicine, and poison is naturally one of them. Thinking of the coercion of Tian Guang and others, and comparing it with Yang Chong's kindness to her, especially Yang Chong's gentleness and consideration to Yan Lingji, Zi Nu, Nanyue, Niu Shang and others, Tian Mi felt bitter and felt that she had lived a very boring life in the past twenty years.

Since her parents passed away, there has never been anyone around her who truly cares about her.

Do you care about me?

Since I have never treated him sincerely, how can I expect him to treat me like he treats Yan Lingji and the others? Tian Mi, who has not yet calmed down from what happened just now, thought bitterly.

Sometimes she herself knows why she is alive. It seems that she is living just for the sake of living. But is there really any meaning in living just for the sake of living?

But Tian Mi couldn't think too much at this time. Tian Guang and others ordered her to lure Yang Chong out as soon as possible and take the opportunity to ambush and kill Yang Chong. She didn't have much time left.

Thinking that her life was in the hands of Tian Guang and others, Tian Mi felt desperate. She didn't want to change anything now. Although she didn't have much friendship with Yang Chong, she liked the life that Yang Chong brought her. But such a comfortable life was going to be gone now.

Even if I complete the mission, I may not be able to survive. And even if I can survive, but my life and death are controlled by others, and I am forced to do things I don’t like to do. Do I really like that kind of life?
Tian Mi walked into the backyard with a heavy heart, and walked around a corridor to Yang Chong's study. Yang Chong did not have his own bedroom. At night, he stayed in the rooms of Zi Nu, Yan Ling Ji and others. During the day, if Yang Chong did not go out, he usually stayed in the study, either practicing, or sorting out data from all parties, and approving various official documents.

Yang Chong is actually a very homely person. If possible, he seldom goes out. This was the case when he was in Xiliu Village.

Tian Mi knew that Yang Chong did not go out today.

When Tian Mi came to Yang Chong's study, she saw Yang Chong wiping his sword alone.

The sword in Yang Chong's hand is heavier than an ordinary sword. There are mysterious golden inscriptions on the sword body, exuding a powerful aura that transcends time and space.

The name of the sword is Tai'a, a sword without a soul, but in the hands of Yang Chong it is endowed with new spirit.

Tian Mi knew that Confucianism also had a Tai'a sword. She didn't know what kind of sword the Confucian Tai'a sword was. She only knew that if Confucianism did not deliberately keep a low profile, the Tai'a sword might have been given the title of the best sword in the world.

The Confucian Taia Sword does have such qualifications. Even in another time and space, the Taia Sword is ranked third among the best swords in the world. However, its third place in the world does not mean that it can only be ranked third in the world as a sword.

The best sword in the world is Tianxia Sword, and the second best sword is Dragon Guardian Sword. These two swords have additional bonuses beyond the sword, so they are ranked before Tai'a. But judging from the attributes of the sword alone, the best and second best swords in the world are not necessarily stronger than the third best sword, Tai'a Sword.

Tian Mi did not know about the Confucian Tai'a, but was familiar with the Tai'a sword in Yang Chong's hand. The Tai'a, which had lost its sword soul, was almost reduced to a relatively sharp and heavy sword, but in Yang Chong's hands, it had been nurtured by Yang Chong over the years and regained its divine light, and was no weaker than the two swords of the farmers' Gan Jiang and Moye.

If we only talk about swordsmanship, Yang Chong is an extremely powerful swordsman, but his other martial arts skills are even stronger, so much so that people always have the illusion that he is not good at swordsmanship.

Moreover, this will soon change. Yang Chong will not only be a very powerful swordsman, but will also become the most terrifying swordsman in the world.

"You're back." Yang Chong wiped the Taia sword and asked without raising his head.

But Yang Chong's casual attitude made Tian Mi's eyes red. She was a very realistic woman, and her code of conduct had always been utilitarianism first. She always felt that she had no feelings and she didn't need the so-called feelings.

But Yang Chong's words, which seemed extremely nonchalant at this moment, broke her heart in an instant.

Yang Chong's words were really too ordinary, but precisely because they were too ordinary, they seemed extremely different. This was a conversation that only family members would have, ordinary, but in the ordinariness it contained the most genuine feelings.

"Yeah." Tian Mi walked to Yang Chong and knelt down beside him with a heavy body. She turned her head to look at Yang Chong who was concentrating on wiping the sword. She was already familiar with this face, but at this moment, maybe because the threat of death broke down her psychological defenses, when she saw this face again, her heart was easily touched.

"Are you having fun? I'm free lately, would you like me to go for a walk with you?" Yang Chong continued to busy himself with his own things.

"Not bad. If the master is free, I really want the master to go with me. By then, everyone in Dong'a City will know that I am the master's woman, and they will definitely envy me to death." Tian Mi put away her confused thoughts. Now she just wanted to survive.

"Okay, come to think of it, we have been together for several years." Yang Chong said with a smile, then sheathed his sword. The sword was ready, and it was time to kill.

"Yes, it's been several years." Tian Mi responded sweetly.

"You are a very interesting woman and a very powerful woman." Yang Chong looked at Tian Mi. Under her long pink hair was an exquisite smiling face, and a little teardrop mole made her look even more charming. Such a woman was a real beauty. Unfortunately, Yang Chong had to destroy such a beauty with his own hands.

"Me?" Tian Mi asked in surprise. She didn't know why Yang Chong said that.

"A woman who cherishes life." Yang Chong said.

Yang Chong knew Tian Mi's background very well. It could even be said that Yang Chong knew Tian Mi better than Tian Mi did.

"I'm very afraid of death." Tian Mi glanced at Yang Chong coquettishly. This was her usual tactic.

"Don't be afraid, I will protect you in the future." Yang Chong rubbed Tian Mi's long pink hair as if he was rubbing a kitten, but Tian Mi was stunned.
