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

Chapter 318 Farmhouse Fun, Not Thinking of Qi
Two days later, Yang Chong and Xue Nu arrived at the foot of Daze Mountain. At this time, Daze Mountain had been under complete martial law. In order to compete for the position of the chief hero, the six halls of the farming family had brought out their elites. All the elites scattered everywhere were summoned to Daze Mountain, just to have a better chance of winning in the competition for the position of the chief hero.

So when Yang Chong and Xue Nu came to Daze Mountain, it would be difficult for them to enter Daze Mountain openly without Liu Ji's support.

At the Lieshan Hall headquarters deep in Daze Mountain, Yang Chong also met Liu Ji.

Liu Ji, who participated in the assassination attempt on Yang Chong with the Zhu family, has changed a lot over the years.

The young man who had just left Pei County and was curious about everything has now become more calm.

This uneducated but talented young man from Pei County has experienced many changes in his position as the steward of Lieshan Hall over the years. It can be said that he is fully competent for this job. Even his weakest martial arts skills have been compensated by the accumulated resources of Lieshan Hall. Although he is still far from being a first-rate master, he is no longer a weakling and can be respected as a master when traveling around the world.

As for the reason why Zhu Jia and Liu Ji were not on another trajectory and were in charge of Shennong Hall, Yang Chong knew it.

Back then, Yang Chong almost wiped out all the top leaders of the Nong family. Among the remaining three hall masters, he re-elected three hall masters after a competition to prevent the Tian family from continuing to expand their power in the Nong family. However, in order to achieve this goal, the non-Tian faction of the Nong family also paid a price. The exchange of the positions of hall masters of Shennong Hall and Lieshan Hall was one of the prices.

Shennong Hall, as the most senior of the six Nong family halls, has always been run by Nong family disciples who are not from the Tian family, while the heads of Lieshan Hall have always been from the Tian family. However, in the last round of competition for the position of hall head, Tian Mi, a member of the Tian family, became the head of Shennong Hall, expanding the influence of the Tian family to Shennong Hall for the first time.

Although the Zhu family also successfully served as the head of Lieshan Hall, Lieshan Hall had been run by the Tian family for hundreds of years, and everyone from top to bottom was a descendant of the Tian family. It was almost impossible for the head of the Zhu family to truly control Lieshan Hall.

However, the Zhu family's restraint in Lieshan Hall did not affect Liu Ji's success in Lieshan Hall. He was a man who knew how to handle things.

At this moment, Liu Ji was wearing a red robe that looked very sexy, but the smile that was always on his face had disappeared. Although he was known for being casual in the martial arts world, he really couldn't be so casual in front of Yang Chong.

The shadow that Yang Chong left on him back then was too great. From the Six Sages of the Farming Family, to the Chief of Knights, to the masters at the level of Hall Master, dozens of high-level leaders of the Farming Family were taken down by Yang Chong like cutting melons and vegetables. Those people who were regarded as unattainable by him in the past were killed like chickens and dogs in Yang Chong's eyes.

It was also during that failed operation that Liu Ji did something that could not be known to outsiders, either to save his life or to rescue the boss of the Zhu family. At this time, Yang Chong appeared in Daze Mountain, which made Liu Ji tremble with fear.

Now Liu Ji was afraid that Yang Chong would say: Go and get me the head of the leader of the peasant families.

When Liu Ji thought of Yang Chong's possible order, he regretted why he was so short-sighted back then. He just wanted to see the world. He was just a small shrimp, but he had to rush into the sea full of huge creatures.

As for betraying Yang Chong, Liu Ji had never thought about it. After all these years, Liu Ji is no longer the rookie Liu Ji. He has the knowledge that matches his current identity. Now he can understand the horror of Yang Chong better than before.

Especially in recent years, he has deliberately collected a lot of information about Yang Chong with the help of the farmers' intelligence system. Liu Ji has a better understanding of Yang Chong's strength, but it is precisely because of this that he is more afraid of Yang Chong.

Now he is considered a master. The term "grandmaster" was just a concept to him before, but now he can understand what a so-called "grandmaster" is.

As for betraying Yang Chong and mobilizing the farmers' power to surround and kill Yang Chong while Yang Chong came alone to Daze Mountain, Liu Ji didn't even dare to think about it.

Let's not talk about whether he can succeed or not. Even if he succeeds, what will happen? What good will this traitor of the Nong family have? Besides, Liu Ji didn't think that these people from the Nong family could trap Yang Chong. Even the masters of the Nong family couldn't do it back then. With the current strength of the Nong family, Liu Ji didn't want to have too many ideas against Yang Chong, who was even more powerful than before.

And there was a hidden hope in Liu Ji's heart.

In Pei County, the villagers all thought he was the most promising person. Even the magistrate of Pei County treated him with courtesy. However, he knew that his achievements were far behind those of another fellow villager.

Xiao He suddenly disappeared in Pei County that year, and later his parents also disappeared. Others didn't know where Xiao He went, but Liu Ji knew that Lord Xiao, the most outstanding minister of Qi State and the one in charge of the three counties in Yan, was the Xiao He who disappeared that year.

Based on Liu Ji's understanding of Qi's power structure, he knew that Xiao He had reached this level of official position. The next step would be to become the Prime Minister of Qi. That was such a high position and it was impossible for someone like him who was still working as a farmer to compare with him.

People, no matter how well they do in the underworld, are still not as good as becoming an official. Only by becoming an official can they achieve a transformation of their identity and allow the entire family to escape from the original class.

Therefore, after meeting Yang Chong, Liu Ji was intimidated by Yang Chong's majesty on the one hand, but on the other hand he was also considering his own future. He also wanted to be an official. He did not ask for a too high position, but only hoped that he could eventually reach the level of a county governor in this life, and he would be satisfied.

"I'm sorry for the inconvenience here. Please forgive me for my rudeness. How should I address you here? How should I introduce your and your wife's identities to outsiders?" Liu Ji led Yang Chong to a side courtyard and asked with some restraint.

"We are now a couple from Yan State. We met you in Daliang, Wei State many years ago. This time, I was invited by you to help the Zhu family compete for the position of the chief farmer. As for the name..." Yang Chong made up an identity for himself, and he could say that he came up with it off the top of his head, but he was hesitant about the name. What kind of name should he make up for himself to make himself seem more impressive?
"Your husband can use the fake surname Lu." Seeing that Yang Chong was hesitant for a moment, Xue Nu gave her suggestion.

A big part of the reason why Yang Chong was called the King of Qi was because he was a descendant of the Jiang clan and the Lu clan. However, after occupying Qi, Yang Chong did not restore his surname. Now that he was traveling abroad, he needed a fake surname. What could be more suitable than his real surname, Lu?
"Lu?" Yang Chong couldn't help but reveal a strange look when he heard this surname. In this era, Lu is a very interesting surname. There was Lu Buwei before and Lu Zhi after. However, it is obviously impossible for Yang Chong to use these two names. But apart from them, who else is more interesting about the Lu family?
Yang Chong, who had completely let himself go after leaving the Qi Palace, was thinking about something. An interesting name appeared in his mind: Lu Bu.

"What the Snow Girl said is right. In Daze Mountain, I am called Lu Bu. Unfortunately, I have the Shuihan Sword in my hand instead of the Fang Tian Huaji. Otherwise, it would be more perfect. If there is a chance in the future, I can use the Mohist Overlord Spear." Yang Chong said something that seemed a bit confusing to the Snow Girl and Liu Ji. "Lu Bu, this name is a bit vulgar, but we are originally people of the martial arts world, so it is just right." The Snow Girl savored Yang Chong's new name. She naturally couldn't hear the other meaning behind this name. She just thought that Yang Chong was too lazy to think too much, so he simply gave him such an ordinary name that couldn't be more ordinary.

"Then I will be King Lu from now on?" Liu Ji asked tentatively. He was a man who was very good at making friends, and now he saw a way to get closer to Yang Chong.

"Here, you are the host, I am the guest, and I am just a spectator." Yang Chong naturally had no objection to Liu Ji's proposal. His biggest purpose in coming out this time was just for the suspected replica of the Soldier Demon God. As for other things, he just came to watch the fun.

"Yes." Liu Ji said with discretion.

Later, under Liu Ji's arrangement, Yang Chong and Xue Nu settled down in Daze Mountain.

When Yang Chong and Xue Nu settled down in Daze Mountain, the atmosphere inside Shennong Hall, which was located on another peak deep in Daze Mountain, became solemn.

Tian Mi originally thought that with her martial arts, abilities, and status, she shouldn't have any problems competing for the position of the chief knight. However, something unexpected happened. Just because she was a woman, different voices emerged within the Tian family.

If she cannot rely on the power of the Tian family and can only rely on the Shennong Hall that she barely controls, it will not be easy for her to succeed the leader of the heroes.

So Tian Mi asked Yang Chong for help. In order to get Yang Chong's support, she even revealed the biggest secret of the farming family. She had been with Yang Chong for several years and knew some of Yang Chong's hobbies. She knew that Yang Chong had an extraordinary interest in mechanical engineering.

Sure enough, everything happened just as Tian Mi had expected. After receiving her letter, Yang Chong sent people, two night-level killers.

The combined strength of the two killers is enough to fight against most of the farmers' masters, but the problem arises. Although the killer's martial arts are high, he can only be a killer. What Tian Mi needs is the position of the chief hero. When the killer and the position of the chief hero, these two unrelated things are linked together, what will people think of?

Tian Mi only thought of one answer while thinking, which was to use the power of the killer to eliminate her competitor.

If the answer was not so, Tian Mi really couldn't figure out why Yang Chong, with so many talented people under his command, chose two killers who only knew how to kill people.

However, killing is a technical job. In the execution process, one must be able to kill the competitor without letting others suspect oneself. It is very difficult to achieve both at the same time.

Because of this, Tian Mi was very worried. She had a sharp sword in her hand, but she didn't know how to use it, which made her feel very unhappy.

Sometimes Tian Mi even doubted whether she was really not suitable for doing these conspiracies. Compared with the intrigues of Daze Mountain, was the Qi Palace her holy place?
However, Tian Mi also knew that it was meaningless to think about these things now. What she could do now was to strive for the position of the leader of the heroes and then completely control the farmers. Only in this way could she occupy her own position in Yang Chong's future plans.

Apart from anything else, if Yang Chong wants to expand Qi's power to the Huai River area in the future, the Nong family will be a very important force. Moreover, the Nong family is divided into six divisions. After so many years of inheritance, they have accumulated a large number of talents in various fields. These talents are also needed by Qi.

Therefore, in order to strengthen her position beside Yang Chong in the future, Tian Mi was determined to obtain the position of the chief hero, but the process was really too difficult.

"Although this Zhu family member looks like a good guy and even funny at times, I have never underestimated his martial arts skills. According to my observation, he has almost mastered the Thousand Faces Technique to the highest level, and has the strength of a first-rate master. According to the characteristics of the Thousand Faces Technique, although it will greatly reduce the power each time it is used, and it can only be used a few times in total, once the Thousand Faces Technique is activated, even a first-rate master will find it difficult to stop it. Therefore, it is extremely difficult to assassinate him."

Tian Mi analyzed the situation. There was no consensus within the Tian family, and there was also a competitor like the Zhu family outside. The situation she faced was really too difficult.

"Assassination is just a means. This means can be to take the target's life, or it can be for other purposes." Facing Tian Mi's hesitation, Zhuanhun, one of the two sisters Zhuanhun and Duopo, said.

"What do you mean?" Tian Mi seemed to be touched by something.

"Force the Zhu family to take action, consume their strength, and make them lose the power to compete with Madam for the position of the leader of heroes." Zhuanhun said.

"In that case, won't others suspect me? After all, I am the Zhu family's competitor. If anything unexpected happens to the Zhu family, the first person the farmers will suspect will be me." Tian Mi said.

"What if we sisters assassinated you, Madam?" Zhuanhun asked.

"What do you mean?" Looking at Zhuan Hun's determined expression, Tian Mi seemed to understand something in a trance.

"You mean, if you attack me with the Zhu family present, then the Zhu family will also encounter the dilemma I just mentioned, so no matter what his thoughts are at that time, he must rescue me, and then you can force him to use his Thousand Faces?" Tian Mi was also a cunning person. After a slight hint from Zhuanhun, she had quickly constructed a complete plan in her mind.

"Madam is wise." In addition to being a killer, the soul-transferring being who also had talents in other areas replied to Tian Mi.
