I, living in the Qin Dynasty, never intended to advance.

"Stupidity comes from caring too much, and cowardice comes from carrying too much." Yang Chong said.

"Are you stupid because you care? Are you timid because you bear too much?" Upon hearing this, Zi Nu couldn't help but look at Yang Chong, with a bright look in her eyes, because Yang Chong's words touched her heart, which was a place that had never been touched by others.

She panicked when facing Yang Chong because she had never been confessed love by anyone. Yang Chong was special to her. For Zi Nu, facing Yang Chong's pursuit, she knew that she could not agree because she had never been moved. However, the special meaning of Yang Chong to her made her subconsciously not want to hurt Yang Chong, so many methods could not be used on Yang Chong. It was precisely because of this that she was at a loss as to what to do.

And why is she timid because of caution? Zi Nu not only has herself, she also has the sisters of Zi Lan Xuan, all of whom need her protection. How can she let the sisters face dangers that they cannot face because of her likes and dislikes? She is timid because she is responsible for the lives of her sisters. She dare not act recklessly and can only walk on thin ice.

"So sister is really stupid and cowardly?" Nanyue, who had been playing the role of a nobody from beginning to end, looked at Zinu with emotion. At first, she just wanted to watch the fun, but now she has no intention of doing so.

"You are very good at coaxing women, but what I want to see now is whether your martial arts are just as powerful." Wei Zhuang said.

"That's what I want, but I dare not ask for it. I also want to see how powerful I am now." Yang Chong smiled. He hasn't had a good fight for a long time. What's the point of practicing martial arts if he can't defeat enemies one after another? Is it just for self-entertainment?

"Are you confident?" Wei Zhuang said, the confrontation had already begun.

"Everything I work hard for is to make myself confident when facing anyone, just like I am standing confidently in front of Miss Zi Nu now." Yang Chong said.

"Why are you talking about me again?" Zi Nu walked to the side of Nanyue, and there was nothing for her to do next.

"Let's go." Wei Zhuang took the shark-tooth sword beside him, jumped out of the window, and landed on the roof by using the force of air.

"Don't fight here. If the roof is damaged, it will cost money to repair it." Seeing this, Zi Nu followed him closely. She didn't dare to overestimate what the man would do if he got too excited in a fight.

In the night sky above Xinzheng, three figures kept shuttling back and forth, and finally came to a desolate place.

The moment Yang Chong landed, Wei Zhuang had already swung his sword at him. The sharpness of the shark-tooth sword reached a terrifying level under the blessing of Wei Zhuang's sword energy. Facing Wei Zhuang's sword that could cut gold and jade in half, Yang Chong circulated his power through his ten fingers, and the Nine Yin Divine Claws went straight to meet it, turning into a claw shadow that prevented the shark-tooth sword from falling three inches away from his palm.

After his sword failed, Wei Zhuang immediately changed his sword moves, from chopping to slashing, but the suction force from Yang Chong's claws disrupted his sword moves. In just a moment, Yang Chong's other hand had already grabbed Wei Zhuang's chest.

"That's amazing. Your hand can catch the shark-tooth sword." Yang Chong's strength made Wei Zhuang happy instead of surprised. He twisted the sword blade and held it horizontally to block Yang Chong's attack.

"It's a good sword." Yang Chong said, activating the Zhen character technique under his claws. The moment he really opened up Wei Zhuang's way, he leaped back to distance himself from Wei Zhuang. Under the Nine Yin Divine Claws, the wind from the claws was fierce and turned into a violent storm to attack Wei Zhuang.

"Is this guy so powerful?" Zi Nu, who had just caught up, couldn't help but widen her eyes at the scene in front of her. She saw that wherever Yang Chong's claws passed, everything was either cut open or pierced. Under the support of powerful internal force, the Nine Yin Divine Claws directly turned into a death forbidden zone with a radius of five feet.

Even with the domineering power of Wei Zhuang and the Shark Tooth Sword, it was difficult to break through for a while.

Zi Nu even saw Yang Chong's pair of claws clasping the shark-tooth sword, sparks flying. A human pair of hands could actually do such a thing. Could it be that Yang Chong was practicing the horizontal martial arts?

“It is with this kind of power that you succeeded in pleasing me.” Wei Zhuang, who was once suppressed by Yang Chong, suddenly changed his momentum and turned from offense to defense. In his excitement, his sword energy and sword momentum became more domineering, and he directly broke through the death field transformed by Yang Chong's Nine Yin Divine Claws. One sword turned into four and rushed straight towards Yang Chong.

Chapter 101: Ghost Soldiers Robbed Pay? All Mine

Wei Zhuang has never been a person who knows how to show mercy, and this sword that cuts across all directions is just like that. His sword is both domineering and tricky, and with one sword, it almost blocked all of Yang Chong's retreat routes.

At least in Zi Nu's opinion, there are not many people in Xinzheng who can calmly take on Wei Zhuang's sword. Will Yang Chong be one of them?

In Zi Nu's sight, Yang Chong's figure suddenly split into four, with claws and palms coming out at the same time. Wherever the sword energy passed, his figure dissipated, leaving only the claw power, palm power and sword energy colliding.

"What a superb body movement." Zi Nu stepped back a few steps. Both Wei Zhuang and Yang Chong were much better at martial arts than her, and she didn't want to be involved in them.

But there are some things that she cannot avoid just by hiding. Wei Zhuang's sword was ineffective, and his next sword was already close to Yang Chong, but Yang Chong directly grabbed Zi Nu.

Yang Chong's action startled Zi Nu for a moment, and the next moment she flew towards Yang Chong uncontrollably. When she came to her senses, her waist had already fallen into Yang Chong's palm.

"You..." Zi Nu was shocked, but not panicked. She didn't think that Yang Chong would do anything bad to her at this time, but what exactly was Yang Chong going to do?

While Zi Nu was wondering, Yang Chong had already pushed her away, and in Yang Chong's hand there was something familiar to her: a chain sword.

Yang Chong shook the chain sword that originally belonged to Zi Nu, and it turned into a giant silver python. It twisted and shot out directly, stabbing at Wei Zhuang who was attacking with a sword.

The White Python Whip Technique, one of the external skills of the Nine Yin Scriptures, is strange yet domineering.

"How did he know I had a sword?" Zi Nu touched her waist and confirmed that the chain sword held by Yang Chong was hers, but how could Yang Chong know? Did Yang Chong peek?

However, Zi Nu soon had no time to worry about her doubts, because the battle between Yang Chong and Wei Zhuang had entered its most intense stage.

The shark-tooth sword burst out with an unprecedented light, and the raging sword energy seemed to destroy everything. However, in Yang Chong's hand, the chain sword turned into a swimming dragon, circling around his body, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws. It possessed the strength of a dragon and the cunning of a snake. The shark-tooth sword obviously had the sharpest teeth in the world, but it could not tear apart the territory that belonged to Yang Chong.

Just when Zi Nu thought that Yang Chong and Wei Zhuang would fight for a long time, the situation suddenly changed.

"It's that move again." Zi Nu's eyes focused, and saw Yang Chong stretched out his hand again, with his five fingers stretched out, and there was a faint purple energy rotating in the palm of his hand, facing far behind Wei Zhuang. An abandoned stone platform in the distance turned into a stream of light and hit Wei Zhuang's back.

"Be careful." Zi Nu couldn't help but remind him.

Wei Zhuang gathered his energy on his back, withstood the blow head-on, and with the help of the impact of the stone pillar, flew towards Yang Chong. His speed was extremely fast. Wei Zhuang used himself as bait, and was about to make the final decisive move on Yang Chong.

With the help of Yang Chong's strength, Wei Zhuang's last sword was extremely fast. With the flash of sword light, he picked up the chain sword piece by piece, and finally turned it into a fatal sword to chop Yang Chong's ribs.

"This sword is good, but that's all for today. I have other important things to do. Bye." Yang Chong placed one palm under his ribs and directly grasped Wei Zhuang's swordsmanship. He did the same thing as Wei Zhuang. He took advantage of the opponent's attack and flew sideways. He stepped lightly and leaped high into the sky. Before the sound had completely dissipated, the man had completely disappeared into the night sky.

The chain sword fell and landed in Zi Nu's palm.

"You run pretty fast." Zi Nu retracted the chain sword, only to see many gaps on it. Her sword was very good, but it was still insufficient when it came into a head-on confrontation with the shark-tooth sword.

"You won?" Zi Nu looked at Wei Zhuang, only to see Wei Zhuang staring at the sword of Shark Tooth without saying a word.

"No win." Wei Zhuang said.

"Didn't you win? I saw that you clearly hit him with your last sword. If you hadn't shown mercy, he would have been broken into two pieces by now." Zi Nu asked puzzledly. She knew how sharp the shark-tooth sword was. Yang Chong had already lost because he used his hands to fight with him in the end.

"I didn't hold back on that strike." Wei Zhuang took back the shark-tooth sword.

"Then why is Yang Chong fine?" Zi Nu asked in shock and curiosity.

"He practiced Henglian martial arts and achieved great success." Wei Zhuang said.

"Practicing martial arts horizontally?" Zi Nu was stunned.

"Ji Wuye is blessed." Wei Zhuang smiled, looking forward to what was to come more and more.

"I'm afraid Ji Wuye doesn't want such a blessing." Zi Nu said. Ji Wuye just wanted a running dog and would never have thought that he would attract a ferocious tiger to his side.

"Stupid woman, it's time for you to wake up." Wei Zhuang reminded her that what he wanted was a collaborator, not a woman who was deeply in love and could not extricate herself.

"Am I stupid? But who can tell what is true and what is false?" Zi Nu sneered, and a subtle emotion had been scattered into the corner of her heart.

I am a coward! Zi Nu laughed at herself, and the smile that belonged to the boss of Zi Lan Xuan appeared on her face again, elegant and calm.

……

Nongyu stayed in Zinu's room. Yang Chong and the others left too quickly for her to follow them, but she could hear from their conversation that Wei Zhuang wanted to compete with Yang Chong. Nongyu didn't know how good Yang Chong's martial arts were, but she knew how terrifying Wei Zhuang was.

Will Yang Chong get hurt in a fight with Wei Zhuang? Nong Yu is deeply worried about this.

"Nongyu, you haven't gone back to rest yet?" Zi Nu jumped into the room and was surprised to see that Nongyu had not left yet. She had been out for quite a while this time.

"Sister Zi Nu, have they finished their competition?" Nong Yu stepped forward.

"The competition is over. It was a very exciting duel." Zi Nu said as she subconsciously touched her waist. She was actually controlled by Yang Chong in an instant. The suction force was so strange that she couldn't even muster the strength to resist at that time.

At this moment, Zi Nu recalled and realized that at that moment, she was controlled by that strange gravitational force. At that moment, the true energy around her body came to a standstill, and it seemed that there was an uncontrollable trend rushing towards Yang Chong. It was because of this that she was flying towards Yang Chong.

At that moment, he controlled all the Qi in my body, and even if he wanted, all my Qi would burst out of my body? Realizing this possibility, Zi Nu felt cold all over.

What kind of martial arts could be so weird? And was Yang Chong, who practiced such an evil martial arts, really the one he saw? At this moment, Zi Nu, who had regained her composure in front of the name Yang Chong, became more scrutinizing and suspicious.

"Then who won?" Nanyue didn't know what Zi Nu was thinking at this moment, all she felt was concern.

"You want to ask whether Yang Chong won?" Zi Nu looked at Nanyue in front of her. Unknowingly, the little girl had grown up.

"Did Brother Yang win?" Under Zi Nu's scrutiny, Nanyue looked guilty, but still asked stubbornly and expectantly.

"Didn't win." Nanyue's face changed. If she didn't win, she lost. So was Yang Chong injured?

"Nongyu, Wei Zhuang is one of us. Is it appropriate for you to care about an outsider so much?" Zi Nu observed Nongyu's reaction and was shocked again. She had been distracted by Yang Chong during this period of time, but she ignored the changes in Nongyu. Compared with her own danger, Nongyu, who had the most contact time with Yang Chong, was probably in more danger.

"Sister, you misunderstood. Brother Yang is our guest after all. It would not be good if he was beaten." Nong Yu explained hurriedly, with a hint of urgency in her words.

"Nongyu is still so sensible. Don't worry, Yang Chong is not hurt. He is hiding very well. It is not certain that anyone can hurt him in Xinzheng." Zi Nu observed Nongyu. She was awakened and the more she looked at Nongyu, the more she felt something was wrong.

"That's good." Nanyue breathed a sigh of relief, and her heart finally settled down.

"Nongyu, do you like Yang Chong?" Zi Nu looked at Nongyu and asked suddenly.

"Ah!" Nanyue was startled, and there was panic in her eyes when she looked at Zinu.

"I forgot that you have grown up." Zi Nu pulled Nong Yu over and looked at the sister she had raised with her own hands. There was a lot of nostalgia and love in her eyes, but a man like Yang Chong...

"Sister, I..." Nong Yu wanted to deny it, but how could she lie in front of her sister Zi Nu? And she also knew that she couldn't lie to herself.

"Among my many sisters, you have always been the one that I feel most at ease with. I believe that you know your own limits in this matter." Zi Nu said while hugging Nong Yu.

"Sister, I know." Nong Yu sighed. In the Zi Lan Xuan, they were not the only ones there. There were also sisters around them. They had no right to be willful, and Zi Nu was not the only one who was timid.

……

Xinzheng was still a place of decadence and extravagance, and under the cover of night, all kinds of dark things were still happening. That night, dark clouds blocked the bright moon, and gusts of cold wind blew, and it looked like it was going to rain.

"Those adults are really good at choosing days. There are so many other times to escort the military pay, but they have to do it at this time." In the Korean treasury, teams of soldiers carried out boxes of gold from the vault, but the weather changed, and the escort task became troublesome.

"Stop complaining and get to work. Be careful if the adults hear us, we can't afford to offend them." Another soldier reminded.

"Ugh."

Amidst sighs and groans, they could only bury their heads in their work.

Soon after, a team of carriages and horses escorted by hundreds of soldiers drove out of the treasury.

"You don't want to rob the military pay, do you?" In a corner outside the treasury, Yan Lingji looked at the passing convoy and asked Yang Chong in a low voice.

"This batch of military pay is fake. Our target is another batch." Yang Chong said.

"Another batch? Aren't the 100,000 gold military pay all here?" Yan Lingji asked puzzledly.

"Take another look." Yang Chong held Yan Lingji's shoulders to prevent this fire-type woman from doing anything rash.

Soon, in Yan Lingji's sight, another convoy drove out from a side door of the treasury. There were only a few horse-drawn carriages, and the people escorting them were no longer Korean soldiers, but a group of people in black.

Chapter 102 The curtain opens, Honglian strikes

With the failure of South Korea's foreign wars, its land area continued to shrink, and the people in this country became petty and cowardly. Even Ji Wuye, who had the title of the most powerful general in South Korea in a hundred years, was no exception. He clearly possessed the highest power in the whole of South Korea except for King Han An, but he set his sights on military pay.

Ji Wuye seemed to have a very magical understanding that his power was gained by his own efforts, and was not built on the existence of South Korea.

However, these did not matter to Yang Chong. Ji Wuye could take action against the Han army's 100,000 gold military pay, and so could Yang Chong. After all, compared to Ji Wuye, Yang Chong was more short of money.

A man cannot become rich without unexpected wealth, and a horse cannot become fat without night grass. The 100,000 gold military pay of Han State was Yang Chong’s night grass.

Yang Chong followed the real military pay escorted by the Night Killer, and his figure disappeared in the falling rain until he stopped outside an inconspicuous house outside the city of Xinzheng.

"Are we going to take action now?" Yan Lingji, who was covered in water, rubbed her hands and said.

Since entering Xinzheng, Yan Lingji has stayed at home all day long. Apart from practicing, she is waiting for Yang Chong to come home. This kind of boring life is not what Yan Lingji likes.
