Chapter 91 Two Idiots (Seventh Day of the Evening)
Zi Lan Xuan was the most well-informed place in Xinzheng. What happened in the court of King Han's palace during the day quickly spread among the guests of Zi Lan Xuan. Zi Nu, the owner, naturally also got the news. Moreover, as she had other channels of information, she knew more than most people.
"Yang Chong, I didn't expect that he would actually defect to Ji Wuye, the commander of Sima Sect. Haha, he has completely boarded Ji Wuye's pirate ship this time, and he can only go down this path until the end." Zi Nu said slowly while adjusting a copper incense burner.
The young man who gave her a wreath by the Wei River left a very deep impression on her. At that moment, Zi Nu knew that a ripple had been stirred in her usually calm heart. Later, when she noticed Yang Chong's whereabouts in front of the Xinzheng city gate, she vaguely realized that Yang Chong was not as simple as she had imagined. But Yang Chong had now joined Ji Wuye, which made her feel a little regretful.
"Yang Chong? The Yang Chong from Xiliu Village?" Amidst Zi Nu's sigh, Wei Zhuang, who was standing by the window, took the initiative to ask a question, which surprised Zi Nu.
"Now he is Yang Chong from Xinzheng. Ji Wuye is really good at using his tricks to confuse right and wrong and to use his power to overwhelm others." Zi Nu smiled with a hint of sarcasm.
"If it really is him, that would be wonderful." After hearing Zi Nu's answer, Wei Zhuang was sure that whether it was Yang Chong from Xiliu Village or Yang Chong from Xinzheng, they were both the Yang Chong he met in Weijia Village.
"Why, you know him?" Zi Nu was startled when she heard this. Who is Wei Zhuang? He is the contemporary successor of Zongheng and a disciple of Guigu. And what about Yang Chong? He is just a young man from the countryside who has had some adventures. How could such a person have any connection with Wei Zhuang? And from what Wei Zhuang said, the relationship between the two is not as simple as a chance encounter.
"If it really is him, then Ji Wuye would be in danger. He is a real madman." Wei Zhuang recalled.
Yang Chong of Weijiazhuang was very weak, but Yang Chong's behavior of counterattacking Luo Wang's murderous intent left a deep impression on him. That kind of mentality and madness, although Yang Chong was a little weak at that time, was also worthy of his attention. What's more, Yang Chong's martial arts at that time were not weak, but he was not as good as disciples of famous masters like them.
Moreover, for someone like Yang Chong who can plunder other people's martial arts for his own use, his martial arts must have undergone tremendous changes in the past two years. It can be said that Yang Chong must have made up for his shortcomings at this time.
Yang Chong, who dared to plot against Luo Wang and succeeded when he was weak, is very much looking forward to what he can do now that he has stronger military force.
As for Ji Wuye, Wei Zhuang himself looked down on him, and he didn't think Yang Chong was really willing to serve under Ji Wuye.
"Madman?" Zi Nu pondered, interweaving the descriptions of Yang Chong and Wei Zhuang who sent her flowers in her mind. Even with her wisdom, she could not combine the two together no matter what. They were two completely different images.
"A madman who was able to count the former Grand Chancellor of Wei State, three Luowang's top assassins, and our fellow disciples as well." Wei Zhuang said.
"Is there really such a person? Is Yang Chong really so powerful?" Zi Nu said with emotion.
"He was very weak at that time. I can guarantee that I can kill him within ten swords." Wei Zhuang said. When Yang Chong first fought with Jiang Junbi, he had to exchange injuries with each other. In the end, he won by strategy. At that time, Wei Zhuang knew that Yang Chong's martial arts was not high. But even so, he absorbed the enemy's power in battle. In the end, Yanri, whom he and his senior brother had barely defeated, had most of his power absorbed by Yang Chong. At that time, Yang Chong was already qualified for him to take seriously.
"What about now?" Zi Nu asked. Wei Zhuang was her good friend, so she naturally knew how arrogant Wei Zhuang was. Yang Chong must have some abilities that she didn't know about for Wei Zhuang to look at him with admiration.
"My senior brother once said that as long as Yang Chong doesn't die, he can become our best opponent within three years, and I think so too." Wei Zhuang said.
"So you are saying Ji Wuye is in danger?" Zi Nu asked.
“Yes, Ji Wuye cannot control someone like him, and he will never be inferior to anyone.” Wei Zhuang said as he looked at the shark-tooth sword beside him. It had almost stopped moving, and it needed a good opponent.
"So, he has other intentions in joining Ji Wuye?" Zi Nu said.
"It must be. Xinzheng will become more lively in the future." Wei Zhuang said. He was ready. It was time to meet Yang Chong's old acquaintance. He just didn't know what surprise Yang Chong would bring him this time.
"Are you excited?" Zi Nu noticed the subtle change in Wei Zhuang's expression.
"Yes, I have a hunch that even if I don't go to find him, he will come to find me." Wei Zhuang said.
Wei Zhuang was obviously overthinking it. Yang Chong had no intention of looking for him in the short term. The only person he wanted to find was Madam Hu.
In the Yang Mansion today, Yan Lingji was yawning idly after dinner until Yang Chong walked in. She sat up straight with a little vigilance.
The two had been arguing about the bedroom, and in the end, Yan Lingji got the largest bedroom. However, she was not sure whether Yang Chong would sneak in in the middle of the night, because in her opinion, Yang Chong could do anything.
"Aren't you going to practice anymore?" Yan Lingji asked.
"I have to go out for something tonight, you should rest first." Yang Chong explained his purpose.
"Going out? You look like this?" Yan Lingji looked at Yang Chong suspiciously. Yang Chong was dressed in tight clothes at this time. He didn't look like he was going out for socializing. Instead, he looked like he was going to do something secret.
"Aren't you going to look for that Mrs. Hu?" Yan Lingji hesitated for a moment and suddenly thought of someone, that was the widow that Yang Chong mentioned.
"Yes." Yang Chong nodded.
"You..." Yan Lingji looked at Yang Chong and felt jealous in her heart. What was the purpose of a young man going to find a pretty widow whose husband had just died late at night? Do we need to guess?
"Can you not go?" Yan Lingji asked. She didn't want Yang Chong to go to see Mrs. Hu, but how could she stop Yang Chong? And what reason did she have to stop Yang Chong?
"I have something very important to do. You should rest first." Yang Chong left without further explanation.
"Don't go." Yan Lingji took a big step and blocked Yang Chong's way.
"What's wrong with you?" Yang Chong frowned and asked. Yan Lingji looked a little strange at this moment. "I don't allow you to go to that Madam Hu." Yan Lingji said with courage. Madam Hu's presence made her feel a certain crisis.
"Huh? What are you doing..." Yang Chong understood. He understood why Yan Lingji behaved so abnormally. Yan Lingji was jealous.
"Are you blaming me for not letting you live here?" Yan Lingji stared at her with her deep blue eyes, with a look of grievance in her eyes.
"No, no." Yang Chong denied.
"I asked you to stay, can you not go?" Yan Lingji put forward her conditions and asked with a little pleading.
Yan Lingji could ignore what happened with Jingwei before, because the relationship between Yang Chong and Jingwei was very complicated, and it happened before she appeared. More importantly, Jingwei was a killer who wanted to kill Yang Chong. Everything Yang Chong did was just out of helplessness, but Mrs. Hu was different.
"I didn't come to see Mrs. Hu for that matter." Yang Chong explained.
But Yang Chong's explanation turned into a sophistry in front of Yan Lingji who had preconceived ideas, so Yan Lingji didn't believe it at all. But she also knew that she had no reason to keep Yang Chong. She herself didn't want Yang Chong to stay, so how could she blame Yang Chong for finding another woman?
"You still say you are not blaming me?" Yan Lingji had a complicated expression. Yang Chong's behavior tonight made her realize a cruel reality. Although Yang Chong liked her, it did not mean that Yang Chong really belonged to her only.
"Actually, it's not that I don't want you to live here, it's just that I'm a little scared." Yan Lingji said as she grabbed Yang Chong's hand and held it tightly.
"Afraid?" Yang Chong was stunned. Wasn't Yan Lingji always lawless? Why should she be afraid?
"Actually, I like it every time I'm intimate with you." Yan Lingji got close to Yang Chong, leaned on his shoulder, and leaned forward to gently kiss the corner of his lips.
"Then you..." Yang Chong touched the corner of his lips that had been kissed by Yan Lingji. Although the two had been intimate many times, the number of times Yan Lingji took the initiative was very few.
"I'm a little scared. I've always been afraid that you will suddenly dislike me. In this world, no one cares about me except you. If one day, even you don't care about me anymore, what should I do?" Yan Lingji said slowly.
Yan Lingji always felt that she was very strong. Even when she was imprisoned in a dark water dungeon, she was never afraid, because she was disgusted with this world at that time. She didn't care about anything, so naturally she didn't care about gaining or losing it.
But when she really had someone she cared about, Yan Lingji discovered that she had something to be afraid of and she had her own weakness.
"Your head is not smart, why do you want to think about so many things?" Yang Chong held Yan Lingji's shoulders and pushed her away. He always thought that Yan Lingji was a witch, but he never realized that Yan Lingji was weaker than most people in this world.
Charm is just a weapon she uses to protect herself. In essence, she is just a person abandoned by this world.
Let me ask you, a person who has experienced misfortunes since childhood, was trained to be a killer at a very young age, and spent six or seven years in a dark dungeon in a life of only twenty years, can she really feel safe?
No matter how Yan Lingji changes, at her core, she is just a woman who lacks security.
"There are many things you do that I cannot understand. I just like to think too much." Yan Lingji said aggrievedly. She once thought of herself as Yang Chong's elder sister, but now she no longer thinks about such things.
"You are Yan Lingji, who would not like you? I should be the one who is worried about this problem." Yang Chong said.
"Who said that? First it was that Jingwei, then Jiangnu, and now there's Madam Hu. Who knows who will be there in the future..." Yan Lingji muttered. She was certainly irreplaceable in Yang Chong's eyes, but Yang Chong was also unique in her eyes.
"Alas, I didn't realize that we are both idiots. We both think we are smart, but are actually very stupid. I don't know what you are really afraid of, and you don't know how important you are to me." Yang Chong said.
"Then can you not go tonight? You can stay, the bed is very big." Yan Lingji said hurriedly.
"You misunderstood. I didn't go to see Mrs. Hu for what you thought. It's because someone might do something bad to Mrs. Hu in the next few days. The changes she is experiencing now are all caused by me. If any accidents happen again, I will feel bad. In the next few days, I will stay with her and try to resolve the last hidden danger in her body." Yang Chong explained.
Although Liu Yi is dead, the cause and effect of Liu Yi has not been resolved. Back then, Liu Yi teamed up with the Three Broken Hair Wolves to destroy the Fire Rain Villa for the treasure of Fire Rain Villa. But later, Liu Yi tried to silence the Three Broken Hair Wolves, but he never thought that one of them was not dead. Over the years, he even joined Night Curtain and became the Vulture of the Night Curtain Hundred Birds Killer Group. Now that Liu Yi is dead, it would be strange if the Vulture did not have any ideas.
It can be said that the vultures could attack Madam Hu at any time, and how could Yang Chong bear to watch that poor woman suffer misfortune again.
"Really?" Yan Lingji asked doubtfully.
"How could I lie to you? Sleep well, warm your bed, and wait for me to come back." Yang Chong patted Yan Lingji's forehead. He was in a good mood. He had gained a lot before setting out tonight.
"That, that..." Yan Lingji's eyes became evasive again. Was she impulsive just now?
"What? Do you want to go back on your word? You just said that the bed is very big." Yang Chong said seriously. He was just kidding. It was not easy to get Yan Lingji to agree on her own initiative. How could he miss this opportunity? Otherwise, with Yan Lingji's shyness and pretentiousness, who knows where the next chance will be.
"Who's afraid of who? That's it!" Yan Lingji said viciously with a determined heart. It's just a stab. Who is afraid? She, Yan Lingji, is not even afraid of a knife, so how could she be afraid of that?
"I'm leaving. Have a good rest." Yang Chong kissed Yan Lingji on the forehead and disappeared at the door.
Looking at the empty doorway, Yan Lingji let out a long sigh, then touched her forehead and felt a little hot there, even her face seemed to be hot.
"It's so embarrassing, why did I..." Yan Lingji covered her cheeks, recalling the scene in her mind, and she actually said such words.
However, Yan Lingji immediately began to feel a sense of anticipation. She was finally going to take that step. What would be different in the future? I would have a family? But would I be a good wife? How could I be a good wife? In the future, I would have to serve him, cook for him, wash his clothes, and even give birth to children?
