When I was in Qin Dynasty, I really didn't want to make progress

Chapter 313 The cruel truth

Yang Chong was just curious, but Mrs. Li had a completely different feeling.

How could Yang Chong be here? Madam Li had just discovered the abnormality of Guo Kai's death, and she realized that the person who killed Guo Kai was definitely not Xue Nu, but someone else. But even if she racked her brains, she could not imagine that the person who killed Guo Kai was Yang Chong.

Yang Chong's martial arts were certainly enough to kill Guo Kai easily, but what was Yang Chong's identity? He was the lord of Qi. How could such a person do something like an assassin? This was too outrageous.

The ruler of a country traveled thousands of miles deep into the enemy country just to kill Guo Kai. Although Guo Kai had a distinguished status, it also depended on who he was talking to. In front of Yang Chong, did Guo Kai really have such a big face?

Although Madam Li hated Guo Kai very much, she did not think that Guo Kai deserved such face.

Xue Nu was also shocked, but she had encountered too many shocks tonight, so she was a little numb. But how could her master be Madam Li? It was really difficult for her to associate the identities of the two people together.

"King Qi, why are you here?" Shocked by the appearance of Yang Chong, Madam Li subconsciously took a few steps back. Facing Yang Chong, even though this was not Qi, no one could not help but feel the pressure. It was the oppression from the master. The so-called invincible in the world was exactly used to describe people like Yang Chong.

"I'm here to take a few things. Madam Li, what's your relationship with Guo Kai? Why do you hate him so much? Also, what's your relationship with Xue Nu? Why do you know so much about Xue Nu?" Yang Chong stepped closer and said. He could already guess some things from Madam Li's words and reactions, but guesses are just guesses after all, and they still need to be confirmed by Madam Li.

"We have no relationship. I just want revenge for Zhao. Guo Kai betrayed Zhao for his own selfish reasons. Any Zhao person would have reason to kill such a person." Mrs. Li said.

"I'm afraid it's not that simple?" Yang Chong looked at Mrs. Li. There were many stories about this night's avenger. After all, she was the core character of this story, although she was not the protagonist.

"What does the King of Qi want to say?" Madam Li asked sternly. She was afraid that Yang Chong had seen something.

"It is indeed surprising that Guo Kai is Xue Nu's biological father, but who is Xue Nu's biological mother? Wouldn't this be even more surprising?" Yang Chong said. Although he was asking, he had actually confirmed the answer.

"I don't know what the King of Qi is talking about." Madam Li denied it firmly, but her firmness was just to cover up her guilty conscience, and her guilty conscience betrayed more things.

"If my guess is correct, the biological mother of the Snow Girl is you, Madam Li, right?" Yang Chong ignored Madam Li's toughness and directly gave his answer.

After hearing what Yang Chong said, Xue Nu's face changed beyond all change. If it was understandable that Madam Li wanted to use her as a tool to take revenge on Guo Kai before, but now, her own mother actually wanted to use her to avenge her father, and the means were so vicious. Is this really something a mother can do?

The Snow Girl couldn't believe it, and was even more unwilling to believe it.

"Prince Qi..." Xue Nu couldn't believe the fact she was facing, and Madam Li couldn't believe that Yang Chong could actually see the relationship between her and Xue Nu.

"Let me think about it. There must be a story between you and Guo Kai, so the Snow Girl came into being. But Guo Kai is just a fame-seeker after all, so I don't need to say more about the rest of the story." Yang Chong said.

Yang Chong's current speculation is not just his own conjecture and speculation, but also his own certain truth, because Yang Chong has a definite source of information about the relationship between Lady Li and Guo Kai, that is, Queen Dowager Zhao.

As Lady Li's best friend, Queen Dowager Zhao knew about the entanglement between Lady Li and Guo Kai. Of course, she didn't know about the relationship between Xue Nu, Lady Li and Guo Kai, but what Yang Chong already knew was enough to deduce more.

For example, why did Mrs. Li appear here at this time?

Although Madam Li hated Guo Kai so much that she even destroyed her own daughter as a tool for revenge on Guo Kai, she was still a mother after all, and she made the decision out of extreme hatred. But when she thought about it, she couldn't help but regret it, so she appeared.

But Mrs. Li did not want to admit this, at least she did not want to admit it in front of Yang Chong.

"Master, are these all true?" Snow Girl asked Madam Li tremblingly. Reality was too cruel for her. It was hard to compare which was crueler, being used by the master or being used by her mother. But neither of them was so wonderful.

"So what if it's true?" Madam Li said firmly. She must not show any sign of weakness in front of the Snow Girl.

"Xue Nu, are you still willing to leave with me now?" Yang Chong was too lazy to care about the tragedy in front of him. He also didn't want Xue Nu to have too many entanglements with Madam Li, because Madam Li was obviously not a normal person. Could a normal person do such a thing?
I'm afraid the word "extremely cruel" cannot describe Mrs. Li's behavior. It can only be described as perverted and twisted.

"Let's go." It was Xue Nu's firm voice that answered Yang Chong. The things she was facing had been distorted beyond recognition. Leaving might not be the best choice, but it was definitely the most appropriate choice at the moment.

"You can't leave." Seeing this, Mrs. Li actually wanted to stop Yang Chong and Xue Nu from leaving.

"What? Do you still want to avenge Guo Kai?" Yang Chong said indifferently. At the moment when Madam Li was about to take action, he had already restrained her. Then he lifted Madam Li's neck with one hand and held the Snow Girl with the other hand and disappeared into the darkness.

At this point, although Madam Li is really perverted, she is Xue Nu's mother and master after all. In order to prevent Xue Nu from regretting this matter in the future, Yang Chong took Madam Li away with him. As for what choice Madam Li will make after leaving Guo's Mansion, it has nothing to do with Yang Chong.

In the darkness, Handan City fell behind Yang Chong. Madam Li had been left in Handan City by Yang Chong. This woman was very good at making a living. In the order of the Qin State, as long as she did not commit suicide, it would be easy for her to find a way to make a living.

"Don't be sad, she still cares about you after all. If not, she wouldn't have shown up." Yang Chong saw Xue Nu staring back at the direction of Handan, and knew that the girl's mood was not as calm as she looked. If what Xue Nu experienced tonight was placed on another girl, she would have collapsed. Xue Nu was still able to maintain her apparent calmness, and her state of mind was enough to make Yang Chong take a look at her.

"Is it true?" Upon hearing this, the Snow Girl's eyes lit up.

"Under extreme hatred, a person will do things beyond imagination, but after she calms down, she will regain her sanity. No matter how many years she has been planning, her final appearance at least proves that at the last moment, she has regretted coming here, and it is precisely because of regret that she appears." Yang Chong explained.

"Master..." The Snow Girl was speechless for a moment.

Even though she already knew that Madam Li was her mother, she still found it difficult to call her by this title. Not only was the title too far away from her, but also because what she had experienced tonight had already thrown her thoughts into chaos. She simply couldn't make sense of it, and she didn't know what attitude she should take towards Madam Li's transformation from master to mother, especially since the other party was not pure yet.

"As for Guo Kai, I killed him. You, Xue Nu, won't hate me, right?" Yang Chong suddenly turned the topic to Guo Kai. It turned out that Guo Kai was Xue Nu's biological father. This was indeed beyond Yang Chong's expectations. If he had known this earlier, Yang Chong could have used more flexible means to take Guo Kai's life, such as killing someone with a borrowed knife.

However, since Yang Chong had already killed Guo Kai, he would not feel any regret for it. He just cared about Xue Nu's feelings, but that was all he cared about.

"Father is just an illusory concept to me, but the king is a real existence to me. I can feel the king's warmth." Facing Yang Chong's question, the Snow Girl took the initiative to hold Yang Chong's hand.

Yang Chong felt the coldness in his palms, but the Snow Girl felt the warmth belonging to Yang Chong.

"You are a real existence to me, no longer an illusory name." Yang Chong said so. Perhaps he was the only one in the whole world who could understand this sentence.

In a hidden corner of Handan City, Madam Li stared blankly at the bright moon in the sky. It was difficult for her to calm down about what happened tonight.

Just as Yang Chong said, in the end, Madam Li finally softened her heart. Faced with the hatred for Guo Kai and the guilt towards her daughter, she finally chose the latter. And now that Guo Kai is dead, to some extent she has avenged her great hatred, her resentment has disappeared, and her daughter has found her home. Logically, she should be satisfied, but at this moment she only felt a sense of emptiness, and felt that everything was dull, and even the world seemed to have no color.

"I hope you can live well, forget your parents who should not be remembered, and just live well as the Snow Girl." Mrs. Li said to herself. She could not do anything now. Her only hope was that the Snow Girl's future would not be as bumpy as hers. This was her last blessing as a mother.

Because he brought the Snow Girl with him, Yang Chong finally broke his promise to Zi Nu. He did not return to Linzi the next afternoon as he promised.

It was already dusk the next day when Yang Chong appeared in the Palace of Prince Qi again.

So when Yang Chong met Zi Nu, he was blamed a lot. Fortunately, Yang Chong also had his own reinforcements. Han Fei, who had been on a diplomatic mission to the State of Chu for a long time, returned to Linzi from Shouchun. Of course, he also brought good news to Yang Chong.

"The King of Chu agreed to form an alliance with our State of Qi, but the people of Chu also have their own conditions." In the palace of the King of Qi, Han Fei, who was summoned to the palace after a long journey and had no time to rest, said this to Yang Chong. In Yang Chong's hand at this time was the letter from the State of Chu brought back by Han Fei.

"The State of Chu wants the former land of the State of Song? They really can't forget it." Yang Chong browsed through the state letter of the State of Chu in his hand, which recorded the various demands of the State of Chu.

"The Chu State has had an almost obsessive desire for territory since ancient times. Otherwise, the most inconspicuous vassal state at that time would not have become the Chu State, which was once larger than the Qin State in terms of the size of its territory," Han Fei replied.

"We can agree to Chu's request. Our goal is to occupy all the territories of Zhao including Jinyang, and use the Yellow River as the border with Qin. The former land of Song has little to do with our interests. However, if we want to return it to Chu, they can take the former land of Song. But we, Qi, want the land of Lu. In the future, there needs to be a clear boundary between Qi and Chu." Yang Chong said.

"The land of Lu is small and is nothing compared to the rich land of Song. I hope that the people of Chu will agree to the king's conditions." Han Fei replied.

Yang Chong had mentioned his plan for the world in front of Han Fei more than once, but what might have been just boasting at the time had now been realized by Yang Chong. After Han Fei recognized the reality, he had a pretty good mental state working for Qi. Being an official in Qi was much better than being the ninth prince in Han.

"Even if the State of Chu doesn't want to, it has to agree. The situation in the world has come to this point today. It's not easy to be the one who reaps the benefits." Yang Chong said.

The State of Chu must face up to reality. If it wants to waver between Qi and Qin and think that while the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits, it is a big mistake.

Neither Yang Chong nor King Zheng of Qin was a fool. How could they allow a third big country to stay out of the decisive battle between the two countries, giving them the opportunity to reap the benefits?

When a good idea becomes known to everyone, it is no longer so good.

"The people of Chu are able to recognize this point, that is why they will cooperate with our Qi State. Today, Han, Zhao and Yan are either destroyed or in ruins, and the people of Chu have realized that the coming war will be different from the previous one. The future war will be a real war of annihilation of the nation, and they will not be able to have any luck. What's more, the current Chu State has moved its capital several times. If they cannot put themselves in the right position, they may have to move the capital again." Han Fei talked freely.

"It's just that there is no suitable place in the territory of Chu for Chu to move its capital again, unless Chu is willing to cross the river to the south and completely settle in the southeast corner, becoming a real barbarian. It took Chu so many years to get rid of the name of barbarians. They can't go back to the old ways." Yang Chong responded.

He actually had the State of Chu under his control firmly.
