Chapter 290: Meeting at Zhao

"This should be the center of the earthquake." In a valley in front of him that could no longer be seen at the northern foot of the Taihang Mountains, Yang Chong looked at the broken ground and cracked mountains around him. Through observations along the way, he was almost certain that the center of the earthquake in the northern border of Zhao State was here.

"Are you really looking for an earth dragon? Although there are many legends about that creature, no one has ever actually seen an earth dragon." Yan Lingji looked at the endless ruins spreading around her. Even though she was used to big scenes, her face turned pale at this moment.

After all, individual power is insignificant in the face of such great power of heaven and earth. Faced with such a disaster, anyone will feel deeply powerless.

"There's no such thing as an earth dragon turning over." Yang Chong denied. How could Yang Chong not know what an earthquake is?
The location of Taihang Mountain is a special node in the earth's crust. It is normal for earthquakes to occur in such a place. However, when Yang Chong was about to explain the cause of the earthquake to Yan Lingji, he suddenly stopped, because this is another world, and things in that world may not be applicable to this world.

In that world, science is king, but in this world, metaphysics is king. Apart from other things, can the cultivation methods of various schools of thought be explained by science? There are also mechanical arts represented by Mohism. This world has too many problems and phenomena that cannot be explained by science.

If someone told Yang Chong now that the sun was transformed from a golden crow, he wouldn't even be able to deny it immediately.

Yang Chong really wasn't sure whether the fireball hanging in the sky was similar to the star in his other memory.

Maybe there are really earth dragons in this world? Isn't this the purpose of Yang Chong's departure from Linzi this time? He wants to see whether science is king in this world or metaphysics is king. This is very important to him. Only by truly understanding this world can he clarify his position and do what he can do.

"What's wrong?" Yan Lingji saw that Yang Chong had not finished his words, so she became even more curious. Since it was not an earth dragon turning over, then what could it be?

"It's nothing. Maybe there really is such a dragon in some unknown place. Let's go. Now that we are here, we might as well look for it. Who knows, there may be a big surprise." Yang Chong put aside unnecessary thoughts. Although he occupied a part of the world, his understanding of this world was only a corner. In this world, humans are just one kind of living beings, not all of them.

"He's talking nonsense." Yan Lingji complained, but she still hurriedly caught up with Yang Chong. Although what she was doing now was very boring to Yan Lingji, it also depended on who she was doing such boring things with. When doing boring things with Yang Chong, Yan Lingji didn't feel bored.

"Many people like to show off their virtuous character in front of others. Isn't that what Han Fei and Wei Zhuang did in the past?" Yang Chong didn't think there was anything wrong with his behavior. Showing off is human nature.

"I noticed that you particularly like to make fun of Wei Zhuang and Han Fei. If I didn't know that you have a good relationship, I would definitely think that you are their enemy." Yan Lingji asked curiously.

"Don't you think Wei Zhuang and Han Fei like to pretend?" Yang Chong said.

Of course, Yang Chong was a friend to Wei Zhuang and Han Fei, but it seems that there is nothing wrong with using friends for fun, right? Of course there is no problem, a bad friend is still a friend.

"Are you trying to show off?" Yan Lingji suddenly realized that from Yang Chong, this evil woman who had always acted unscrupulously had learned a lot of jargon that did not belong to this world.

"Ji Yan Ling, it's not nice to swear." Yang Chong said with disdain.

"There's nothing I can do about it. I learned it all from you. If you dislike it, then you should dislike yourself." Not only did Yan Lingji refuse to admit it, she also put the blame on Yang Chong. So, who thinks that Yan Lingji's wisdom is not good?
"That won't work." Yang Chong shook his head.

While bickering with each other, Yang Chong and Yan Lingji walked among the ruins where even wild beasts could hardly set foot, searching for something that might not exist.

It's a pity that Yang Chong gained nothing in the end. However, gaining nothing also has its advantages. If Yang Chong had really found something, he would have had another worry.

Just when Yang Chong was about to leave Taihang Mountains, a wolf caravan came out from the mountains. Although each of the members looked extremely embarrassed, there was excitement on their faces.

It seemed like walking out of there was a big deal.

In fact, it was indeed a very remarkable thing. They were able to walk out of the mountains after the earthquake. It was not only a matter of great hardship, but also of boundless luck. If they lacked one of the two, they would not be able to walk out of the mountain road full of obstacles, and they would even be killed by huge rocks rolling down from the mountains from time to time before they even walked out.

It was full of hardships and crises.

Fortunately, everything is over, they have seen the light of day again, and there is a smooth road ahead.

However, I have to thank two people, one is Han Fei and the other is Bai Feng.

Han Fei, a scholar who had never seen an earthquake, was the one who knew the most about earthquakes among the group. It was precisely because of Han Fei's guidance that they were able to save their lives in crisis after crisis.

As for Bai Feng, when nothing could be seen in the mountains and forests, it was precisely because of Bai Feng's superior lightness skills that he was able to find paths for them to pass through when even the monkeys found it difficult to find a path.

The survivors greedily breathed in the air outside the mountains and forests. It was not just a different kind of air, but the breath of life.

"It's not easy, but we have finally escaped this time." Han Fei let out a long sigh. This was the breath of freedom.

"Maybe he's walking into a trap." Han Fei's excited smile hadn't yet spread across his face when a cold voice came from a distance.

"Who is it?" Han Fei was startled and looked around suddenly, but there was no one around.

Han Fei looked around in doubt, but saw that everyone looked normal, as if they had not heard the voice.

Is he a human or a ghost? Han Fei's heart suddenly lifted. They had just escaped death, could it be that they had been contaminated by something unclean?
After seeing the true horror of death between life and death, Han Fei was no longer as calm in the face of danger as before. At that time, he spoke as if everything was under control, but now he has recognized himself.

"Look how scared you are! He is your brother-in-law now." Just when Han Fei's face was about to turn pale, a clear and charming female voice came.

At first, Han Fei only felt that the female voice sounded familiar, but he couldn't figure out who the owner of the voice was. But when the woman called out "brother-in-law", Han Fei immediately understood. His sister Honglian had just married Yang Chong not long ago, so wasn't he Yang Chong's brother-in-law?

Moreover, as the name Yang Chong appeared in Han Fei's mind, Han Fei also remembered the owner of the vaguely familiar female voice. It was the Baiyue enchantress Yan Lingji who had followed Yang Chong back then.

"King Qi, since you are already here, why do you have to hide your head and show your tail?" Han Fei asked loudly.

"King of Qi?" As Han Fei shouted, many of the wolf people around him were surprised. There was a reason why they were chosen by the wolf tribe to go to Qi. Some of them were good at fighting and were warriors of the wolf tribe. Some of them were proficient in the Chinese language and were familiar with the rules between the seven countries, so some of them knew what Han Fei's words meant.

"You, all you know is to tear down towers." Yang Chong said helplessly. As Yang Chong's voice fell, he and Yan Lingji appeared not far from Han Fei.

Han Fei was also surprised when he saw the figures of Yang Chong and Yan Lingji. Yang Chong was less than fifty steps away from him. At such a close distance, he did not notice Yang Chong and Yan Lingji. How did Yang Chong do it?
When Han Fei looked intently, he seemed to see that the sunlight around Yang Chong was distorted and had not yet completely calmed down.

This kind of method is beyond our comprehension, and people in the world like to attribute things they cannot understand to miracles. Han Fei thought so in his heart.

"Mr. Nine, I haven't seen you for many years. How are you?" Yang Chong greeted Han Fei. Little did he know that his behavior just now had caused Han Fei so much psychological activity.

"People are fine, but things are different." Han Fei looked at Yang Chong, whom he hadn't seen for many years, and said with a complicated expression.

Yang Chong had fulfilled the boast they had made in Xinzheng, but what about him? He almost died in Qin State, and it was all thanks to Yang Chong that he was able to escape from Qin State. Now that they met again, they were completely different.

"Things are changing, so naturally they are different," Yang Chong joked.

Although a person like Han Fei has many shortcomings, he is also a talented person. A person who is loyal to his ideals and is willing to sacrifice his life for them is worthy of respect in any case.

As for whether Han Fei could be loyal, Yang Chong was not worried at all, because Han Fei was not a person who could accomplish great things. He could be a good minister, but he could not be a good boss. He was too sentimental and too idealistic.

To deal with such a person, it is very easy as long as you find the right method.

Yang Chong just had the right approach. He understood Han Fei's ideals better than Qin Shi Huang, and his Red Lotus was also Han Fei's softest spot.

"I hope things will get better. Is Honglian okay in Linzi?" Han Fei asked. He didn't know whether Han would survive or not, so Honglian became the person he cared about most at this moment.

It was really hard for Han Fei to imagine that Honglian, who was still a child in his memory, was now married and might become a mother next year. When he thought that when he saw Honglian again, the Honglian he saw might be a completely unfamiliar Honglian to him, Han Fei felt a chill.

Time is really too mysterious.

"You'll know whether it's good or not when the time comes." Yang Chong did not directly answer Han Fei's question, but looked Han Fei up and down and continued, "Master Jiu and his group seem to be in a rather embarrassing situation!"

"After escaping death, how can I not be embarrassed? Fortunately, I am still alive." Han Fei said with a wry smile.

Yang Chong was somewhat surprised by Han Fei's behavior. Perhaps, as Han Fei said, after escaping death, people become more mature.

While the two were talking, the wolf tribe had already understood what had just happened and also figured out Yang Chong's identity.

As for why the King of Qi was not in the Qi Palace but appeared in the wilderness, they were not surprised at all, because the Great Khan of the Wolf Clan was the same.

The place where the Wolf Tribe's Great Khan is located is the Wolf Tribe's royal tent. How could the Great Khan be bound by a royal tent? A similar logic seems to be applicable to Yang Chong, at least in the minds of the Wolf Tribe.

After knowing Yang Chong's identity, the leader of the wolf tribe naturally approached Yang Chong. The destination of their trip was to go to Linzi to pay homage to Yang Chong in order to obtain Yang Chong's further support for their tribe, and then achieve further growth of the tribe. It can be said that these people are not only businessmen, but also messengers of their tribe, and they are going to Qi with the hopes of the entire tribe.

Now that I have met Yang Chong, I naturally have to be careful to please him.

So while Yang Chong and Han Fei were talking, the wolf girl came to Yang Chong and said, "Wolf girl Hu greets the King of Qi."

Yang Chong looked when he heard the voice, and saw a wolf girl with a wolfskin waist standing in front of him with her back bent over. Her back curves were almost perfectly revealed as she bent over. Her black hair was braided into small braids, which covered some of her color. However, through the gaps between the braids, one could see a pair of golden-blue eyes.

In the slightly deep eye sockets are a pair of large and bright eyes, flashing two completely different colors. Even if it is just a glimpse through the slits, it is enough to attract the attention of any man.

Especially her skin was completely different from that of the girls in the Seven Countries. It was a rare white color. Although some girls in the Seven Countries were naturally beautiful with skin as white as snow and as smooth as jade, they still had to use words like "seemingly" and "as if". However, the white of this wolf girl was real white, without any description.

She has the wildness of a prairie girl like a wolf, the charm of a fox under the moon, and the vitality that is unique to girls of her age. It can be said that this is a good wolf girl.

"Interesting." A smile appeared on Yang Chong's lips.

To this day, Yang Chong, who has seen the most beautiful women in the world, naturally would not be bewitched by the beauty of a woman, even if this girl is so different.
