Chapter 95: Red Lotus Needs to Grow a Brain

"Go and stand guard well. I'll wait for you to come back." Yan Lingji leaned on the door frame and said to Yang Chong with a smile, just like a wife who asked her husband to "work" well. However, she emphasized the word "stand guard" in her tone, which made her request have other meanings.

"Just be naughty." Yang Chong patted Yan Lingji's shoulder helplessly. She, who once thought of herself as a big sister, now seems to enjoy this status and is getting smaller and smaller.

"Let's go quickly. Be careful that Han Wangan may find a reason to make things difficult for you. You are Ji Wuye's man now." Yan Lingji moved aside and urged Yang Chongdao.

"We have to go, but before we leave, we have one thing to do." The hand that Yang Chong had patted on Yan Lingji's shoulder had turned into a hug.

"What is it?" Yan Lingji asked curiously.

"Of course it's a kiss of blessing." Yang Chong said without giving Yan Lingji time to react, and had already bitten her thin and soft lips.

"I knew it would be like this." Yan Lingji muttered, but still responded very cooperatively. Perhaps she had already gotten used to it, or perhaps it was because they slept in the same bed together last night that made her open up the last layer of her guard. This time, Yan Lingji was particularly submissive. Although she was not as fierce as fire, she was as gentle as flowing water.

"Okay, okay, I'm leaving. Just wait for me to come back." Yang Chong, feeling the sweet taste in his lips, let go of Yan Lingji, waved his hand, and walked forward.

"Be good? Will I?" Yan Lingji looked at Yang Chong's departing back, chuckled, then leaned lazily against the door frame, watching Yang Chong's back become blurred little by little until it disappeared at the end of the street.

"Is this home? It feels really good." Yan Lingji smiled, she felt that the current state of getting along with Yang Chong was still a little strange, but this feeling...

There is no need for sweet words or fiery passion, all that matters is spontaneity. There is no need to consider the other person's feelings, all that matters is spiritual ease and satisfaction in the ordinary.

"Tian Mi, life is so good now." Yan Lingji, who could no longer see Yang Chong's back, withdrew her gaze and walked back to the yard.

"If the master thinks it's good, then it's really good." Tian Mi replied with a smile, but in her heart she had a completely different idea.

What's good about such a life? A small courtyard? A small official position? Standing guard in the palace? Tian Mi sneered at what Yan Lingji said was good.

Although I have evil intentions, I must admit that you are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. You have a charm that is enough to amaze the world, and you have powerful martial arts, but you like to stay in a small courtyard like this, waiting for your husband to come back like an ordinary woman? It's simply a waste of your talent. Tian Mi looked at Yan Lingji with disdain in her heart.

In Tian Mi's opinion, if she had the charm and martial arts of Yan Lingji, she would have become the head of the sixth hall in the farming family, and could even have aspired to the position of the chief hero. How could she just be a little woman waiting for her husband to return?

Unfortunately, Yan Lingji is so disappointing. All she wants is someone who can make her feel at ease and whom she can rely on.

"That's all, ha. Let's go back and have some sleep first." Yan Lingji stretched and walked towards the bedroom. She would still have to practice after waking up. Yang Chong had a lot of things to do, and she had to help. Martial arts was Yan Lingji's best asset now.

"I will definitely succeed. A woman like her has too many weaknesses." Tian Mi looked at Yan Lingji's lazy back with fire flashing in her eyes. If the previous Yan Lingji made her feel heavy pressure, then the current Yan Lingji seemed to her to be full of flaws.

Yan Lingji was really too relaxed.

When Yan Lingji was already sleeping on the bed, Yang Chong also came to King Han's palace. After verifying his identity, Yang Chong also saw his future "position".

This Sima Gate Commander is really standing guard! Yang Chong looked at the palace gate and the guards in front of him and complained secretly. It seems that he can only pursue progress as soon as possible. Whoever likes to do the guarding can do it. Anyway, Yang Chong will never let himself do it for too long.

Yang Chong, standing on the watchtower of the palace wall, leaned on the railing and looked at Xinzheng in front of him, wondering how his plan in Xinzheng would unfold.

It was calculated that the ghost soldiers were about to rob the money, so he should start with the 100,000 taels of gold, and take advantage of the situation. After all, it was necessary to spend money for future things, and money was also a man's waist. Yang Chong thought about it and decided to get the money first.

By the way, there is also the boss of Zilanxuan. Although there are many smart people in Xinzheng City, people like Han Fei and Zhang Liang are even famous in history, but no matter how powerful they are, they can never be used by Yang Chong.

But Zi Nu is different. She is a woman and smart enough. Of course, she is also very rich. Most importantly, Yang Chong can take advantage of her.

There is also the matter of cultivation. However, to cultivate the Fuxi Divine Heavenly Sound, one must first be proficient in rhythm, which is a bit troublesome. It is also necessary to practice rhythm in advance, and a teacher is indispensable. Who can I ask for advice on rhythm? A lot of thoughts flashed in Yang Chong's mind.

"That's Yang Chong, Ji Wuye's lackey?" While Yang Chong was planning his own affairs while on official business, a girl in pink palace clothes was observing him inside the palace wall.

"Princess, he is Yang Chong. I have already asked him." A little palace maid said mysteriously.

"Well, he looks like a decent human being, but why did he join that ugly guy Ji Wuye." Honglian put her hand on her forehead. She heard from her brother Han Fei that doing so would help her see further.

Honglian had heard about Ji Wuye and Yang Chong from her father before. Honglian, who could obviously feel the anger from her father, naturally thought that Ji Wuye and Yang Chong had offended her father. Honglian felt that she could not deal with a man like Ji Wuye, but she felt that she could still deal with a small commander of the Sima Sect.

Honglian, the princess of Korea and the apple of the eye of King Han An, has grown up and it is time for her to share the worries of her father.

"Princess, that's not how things work." The palace maid listened to Honglian mumbling and reminded her in a low voice.

"How could I not know?" Honglian, who was thinking about her revenge plan, was interrupted. She was angry and looked at the palace maid viciously. "You are so smart, aren't you? You interrupted my good thoughts. I had almost thought of it just now."

"Princess." The maid felt a little aggrieved, but there was nothing she could do. After all, she was a maid and she was the princess.
"Shut up and don't disturb me." Honglian scolded. Where is her dignity as a princess?

"Yes, yes, yes." Seeing that Honglian was really angry, the palace maid hurriedly smiled and said.

As Han Wangan's favorite daughter, Honglian's personality is not very good. Her willful nature makes her like a little devil in the palace. In the eyes of people like Han Wangan, Honglian may be cute, but palace maids like them suffer greatly from her. How dare she offend Princess Honglian?

"What should I do?" Honglian muttered. She was smart, but she didn't have much wisdom. She had an intuition about what was going on in the court, but there were many other things that she couldn't analyze.

Honglian scratched his head and felt his scalp itchy. He had some ideas but couldn't grasp the key.

……

When the moon was high in the sky, Yang Chong finally waited until the time came to get off duty. After completing the handover with a deputy commander of Sima Gate, Yang Chong changed into casual clothes and left Han Wangan. As for who the deputy commander was, Yang Chong did not know the details, but only vaguely heard that he was a member of the Zhang family.

There are so many wealthy and powerful families in Xinzheng that any one of them has a great background, but that's all.

Yang Chong walked on the street, slowly heading towards Zilanxuan, which was a good place.

All Yang Chong can rely on now is his own martial arts, and Fuxi Shentian Xiang is the most advanced martial arts in the world, so how could Yang Chong waste it? However, to practice Fuxi Shentian Xiang, one must first learn the art of playing the zither, which Yang Chong knows nothing about, so he needs to find a teacher. In the whole Xinzheng, is there any zither player who has the attainments of Zi Lan Xuan Nong Yu in playing the zither?
Alas, I didn’t expect that one day I would have to study, study, study... Yang Chong thought aimlessly, and soon Zi Lan Xuan appeared in front of him.

"Sister, I suspect that guy came just for you." In the corridor on the top floor, Caidie looked at Yang Chong who was walking through the lobby. He came here yesterday and came again today. Wasn't he here to have fun? Didn't he think that he had too much money and had no place to spend it?

"Don't talk nonsense. He is Ji Wuye's man now. It is hard to say whether he is an enemy or a friend. Don't act rashly and don't expose our background." Zi Nu stopped Cai Die who wanted to say something.

Caidie only thought of Yang Chong as the country youth she met by the river that day, but Zinu knew more. She was not sure about the true character of a man who had surrendered to Ji Wuye and whose purpose was unclear, especially since such a person was regarded as an opponent by Wei Zhuang.

"Him?" Caidie was stunned. Was it really that complicated? She just regarded Yang Chong as an interesting person, but Sister Zinu was telling her that Yang Chong was a dangerous person.

"Don't do anything rash because of your curiosity." Zi Nu warned. She found that Cai Die seemed to be particularly curious about Yang Chong because of her. This was not a good thing, especially for the women of Zi Lan Xuan.

"Sister, I remember." Seeing that Sister Zinu was serious, Caidie quickly put away her intention of watching the fun.

It is not easy for Sister Zi Nu to maintain and run Zi Lan Xuan. Cai Die knows that what she should do is to help Sister Zi Nu instead of hindering her.
