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

"So, can Yang Chong be called a legend now?" Moon Goddess took over the conversation.

At this moment, she had lost her loftiness and mystery. Her eyes, as deep as the stars, were rippling with a strange brilliance. She had already made up her mind to devote her life to the pursuit of the Way of Heaven. But now, Yang Chong was closer to the Way of Heaven than Donghuang Taiyi, the leader of their Yin-Yang School.

If Yang Chong did not have a destiny, how could he have done things that ordinary people would not even dare to think about.

The Moon Goddess likes destiny.

"If this is not a myth, then there is probably no myth. It seems that the secret of the Seven Stars of the Azure Dragon may really be revealed by him." Yan Fei said with a complicated expression.

The two sisters who saw the myth each had their own thoughts, and so did the people in Linzi city. The Qi army that fled back from the front line had already spread the terror of Yang Chong and the Dong'e army to the extreme. Soon, Yang Chong, who was invincible with the mandate of heaven, would lead his army to the city. Then, how could the safety of Linzi be guaranteed?

Is Linzi going to have a new owner?

"Why did the king fail?" The young man slumped in his seat as if he had lost his parents. This news was hard for him to imagine. Although he also felt that it was not reliable for King Jian of Qi to lead the army in person, he had never thought that King Jian of Qi would fail, and fail so miserably, with his army collapsed and himself becoming a prisoner of the enemy.

Hou Sheng is not a capable person, and facing such a situation, he is really helpless.

What's more, Yang Chong might not give him a chance. The vanguard of the Dong'e army, standing on the top of Linzi City, was already vaguely visible.

Even an army of 420,000 couldn't stop Yang Chong, so could the city walls of Linzi alone stop him? Although the population of the entire Linzi city has exceeded one million, how many of these one million people are willing to take up arms and fight a bloody battle with the Dong'e army?

While Hou Sheng was in panic, an uninvited guest appeared in front of him.

"Who are you?" Hou Sheng looked at the handsome young man in front of him with confusion in his eyes. He didn't remember knowing this person.

"My name is Bai Feng, the commander of the Night." Bai Feng looked at the fat man in front of him and had the urge to take action, but Yang Chong told him that a living Hou Sheng would be more useful than a dead one, so he came.

"Night? Yang Chong's night?" Hou Sheng instinctively wanted to call for the guards, but the words were blocked when they reached his throat.

"Prime Minister, don't make the mistake of misleading yourself." Bai Feng said coldly, but his simple words had already interrupted Hou Sheng's hope.

"Yang Chong, no, it's the King of Qi. What does the King of Qi want you to find me for?" Hou Sheng said, trying to calm himself down.

"Your Majesty wants Linzi City." Bai Feng said directly.

"I'm afraid that Linzi City can no longer stop the King of Qi's army." Hou Sheng said pessimistically.

"What my king wants is a complete Linzi City, a Linzi City that has not experienced the destruction of war." Bai Feng said.

Linzi City was managed by the State of Qi for hundreds of years. Its scale, population, and wealth were unrivaled in the world. Even Wei's Daliang and Qin's Xianyang were inferior to it.

Yang Chong was determined to capture such a city, but also because of this, he had to use a better way.

"I'm afraid I can't do anything about it." Hou Sheng still wanted to struggle. Everything he had came from Qi. Once Qi was gone, who would still look at him in the eye?

"My king promised that as long as the prime minister hands over Linzi City, the king will make you a marquis and give you five thousand households." Bai Feng put forward the conditions he brought.

"What if I refuse?" Hou Sheng asked back.

"I happen to be a killer." Bai Feng introduced himself with a strange look in his eyes. The look he gave Hou Sheng was like a hawk seeing its prey on the ground. Compared to the identity of a messenger, he actually preferred the profession of a killer.

"Is the King of Qi really willing to make me a marquis?" Hou Sheng was almost in despair. Did he have any choice now?

"Compared with Linzi City and the entire Qi State, five thousand households are probably nothing, right?" Bai Feng asked back.

"It's really nothing." Hou Sheng calculated.

In Hou Sheng's plan, the army of Dong'a City had already blocked the four gates of Linzi City. Although Dong'a's military force was limited and could not surround the entire Linzi, it was still possible to cut off its internal and external traffic.

The mobilized people of Linzi had no choice but to climb onto the top of the city walls, take out unfamiliar weapons and look at the enemy troops below the city. It seemed that there were not that many of them, but these people won the war and were now at the gates of the city.

The Qi army generals on the city wall encouraged the morale of the soldiers and civilians defending the city. They really needed to guard Linzi City. After all, this was their home!

Just when the soldiers and civilians of Linzi were ready for a big battle, a carriage drove out from the Dong'e army's formation. The carriage was not luxurious, but the people sitting on it?

"Is it the king?" The guard on the city wall recognized who the person in the carriage was at a glance.

"Open the city gates quickly and let the king of Qi and his army in."

Under the gaze of countless people, King Jian of Qi actually shouted such words in public.

Chapter 249 Qi Wang Chong

The Linzi city wall, which had been extremely quiet due to tension and fear, suddenly exploded because of the voice of Qi Wangjian. What did they hear? Were those words shouted by their king?

"Open the city gate quickly." King Jian of Qi shouted again.

It is not surprising that he behaved like this. Being strong and tough is not something that he, who is good at dealing with women, can do. After falling into Yang Chong's hands, he did not think of resisting to the end.

Moreover, even if King Jian of Qi was really a man of iron will, Yang Chong had enough means to make him obey his orders.

If it were in another world, controlling a person's mind might still be impossible, but in this world, there are too many similar means, and what's more coincidental is that Yang Chong is a master in this area. Not to mention that King Jian of Qi is not good at martial arts, even if he is a master like Wei Zhuang, Yang Chong has enough means to turn him into his puppet.

In this world, although there is no such magic that can add tremendous power to oneself, the grandmaster's methods are almost beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

At this time, Prince Jian of Qi was just a puppet of Yang Chong, but Yang Chong did not use those means, so Prince Jian of Qi became cowardly.

As King Jian of Qi shouted, there was already obvious commotion on the city wall of Linzi.

"Open the city gate." In the chaos, Hou Sheng appeared on the top of the city wall with a team of soldiers. His many years of career as prime minister gave him some prestige in Linzi City. When he gave the order at this time, some people did want to take action.

"No, since Tian Jian has recognized Yang Chong as the King of Qi, he is no longer our king. Why should he ask us to open Linzi City? Linzi City belongs to our King of Qi, it belongs to us." Just when someone was about to take action because of Hou Sheng's order, a young man dressed as a low-level general stood up.

As the young man's words echoed on the city wall, many people were moved.

Yes, is a king who surrendered after being defeated still worthy of their loyalty? Can a person who gave up his throne, a person who recognized his enemy as his king, still use his royal power to command them? Is it necessary for them to listen to the orders of such a person?

"Who are you?" Hou Sheng glared at the young man who was causing trouble. He saw that as the young man spoke, many people on the city wall showed expressions of approval. If this young man really incited the soldiers and civilians of Linzi City, both he and the current Tian Jian would be in danger. What's more, Yang Chong, the new King of Qi, had promised him a fiefdom of 5,000 households. Whether the situation was beyond his control or he was simply attracted by the temptation, Hou Sheng had enough reasons to surrender.

"My name is Tian Heng, and I am also a relative of the royal family." The young man took a step forward and faced Hou Sheng's questioning without showing any fear, only determination.

"I think you have ulterior motives and want to murder the king so that you can become the King of Qi, you traitor." Hou Sheng scolded harshly.

Tian Heng's self-introduction reminded him of another person who, decades ago, had also experienced a crisis that almost led to the destruction of the country in the State of Qi.

At that time, 99% of Qi's territory was occupied by the enemy, with only two cities left struggling to hold on. Even the king was dead. But at this moment of national crisis, a man emerged. He relied on a city to resist the attack of Yan army for several years. After struggling to hold on, he finally found an opportunity, counterattacked, and finally defeated Yan army and recovered Qi.

The man's name was Tian Dan, the most courageous man in Qi State in recent decades.

At this time, Hou Sheng saw the shadow of Tian Dan in Tian Heng. As for Tian Heng's low status at this time, it was not very important. You must know that Tian Dan was just a minor official in Jimo City back then, and he could not even be called an official.

Therefore, facing Tian Heng, even though Tian Heng's status was completely different from his own, Hou Sheng would never dare to be careless, especially since he was already feeling guilty.

"Prime Minister, are you going to sell out your country?" Facing Hou Sheng's questioning, Tian Heng had only resoluteness. After all, in the original time and space, Tian Heng was the last real man in Qi State. The legend of Tian Heng's five hundred men could be regarded as a ripple in the long river of history.

Hou Sheng was at a loss for words, but at this moment, a man suddenly rushed out from beside him, and before anyone could react, the man swung his arm towards Tian Heng's neck. The afterimage of the arm fell, and the top of the city became silent.

Then, there seemed to be a sound of dripping blood in the silent city. As the bloody smell gradually spread, everyone realized who the owner of the blood was. It was Tian Heng.

"You arrogant fellow, how dare you disregard the safety of the king and defy the order of the Prime Minister." Bai Feng coldly wiped the blood off the blade on his arm and glanced at the soldiers and civilians on the city wall. When his eyes passed Hou Sheng, there was a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes.

In Bai Feng's opinion, Hou Sheng was such a loser. He was forced to such a point by a small person. He was even more foolish to debate with the other party. He completely forgot his own identity. It was obviously just a matter of one knife, but he almost let the other party lead the situation into an uncontrollable situation.

However, Bai Feng didn't know that the person he had just killed would be a headache for the overlord in the future. Of course, there was no point in saying this. After all, even Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang, was compromising at this time.

Bai Feng's daring action quickly calmed down those who had been getting agitated by Tian Heng's words. Below the city was Tian Jian knocking on the gate, and above the city was Hou Sheng, who had accumulated great prestige in the past. Now there was the death threat from Bai Feng. Was there any need to continue this war?

After all, the enemies under the city are a terrifying existence that was able to defeat the 420,000-strong Qi army with only 70,000 soldiers. Could it be that just these people could be stronger than the 420,000-strong Qi army?

Moreover, it was the king who asked them to surrender at this time, and it was Prime Minister Hou Sheng who opened the city gate. As for whether Yang Chong and his army would burn, kill and loot after entering the city, some of the smart people had already figured it out.

Yang Chong was also the King of Qi. This war was just a war between King Chong of Qi and King Jian of Qi for the throne and the State of Qi. Although there are many wars in the world, there should be no king who plunders his own people, right?

What King Chong of Qi wanted was Linzi and the State of Qi, so why would he destroy them? After all, both Linzi and the State of Qi would soon belong to King Chong of Qi. Who in the world would not cherish his own property?

So after figuring out this point, some people have already run down the city wall, and opening the door should also be a great achievement, right?

The movements in Linzi City naturally fell into Yang Chong's eyes, but in order to prevent the Qi army on the city wall from using the crossbows that could kill top masters from a long distance, he kept a safe distance from the city wall of Linzi. Although he could roughly see what was happening on the city wall of Linzi, the specific details were difficult for him to grasp.

However, these were not very important, because he had seen that the gate of Linzi had loosened. A crack appeared in the tightly closed gate, and then gradually widened. It was very narrow at first, but gradually it became passable, and finally it was enough for several chariots to enter side by side.

"Enter the city." Yang Chong gave an order, and the cavalry around him swarmed forward. One third of the elite Qi army was in the city in front of them. As long as he controlled this city, Qi would be in Yang Chong's pocket. As for what happened next, it would only take a little effort. Compared with the temptation of the entire Qi, this little bit of energy was nothing.

As for Tian Heng who was killed by Bai Feng, if he were alive, Yang Chong might have paid more attention to him, but since he was a dead man, Yang Chong was not even interested in hearing his name. After all, he was just an insignificant person.

As the Dong'a army entered the city and quickly took control of Linzi and the Qi Palace, this war in which both sides mobilized nearly 500,000 troops ended in such a ridiculous way.

"This is the palace of the King of Qi!" In the inner city of Linzi, Yang Chong looked at the palace in front of him and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. This is the foundation that a great country should have.

The Palace of the King of Qi was the best in the State of Qi, both in terms of scale and in terms of exquisiteness and luxury.

After all, Qi, Qin, Zhao, Wei and Han all started too late and moved their capitals many times, so the time for building royal palaces was limited. But the Qi Palace was different. Linzi had been the capital of Qi since the founding of the State of Qi. After 800 years of operation, the scale and exquisiteness of the royal palace can be said to be the pinnacle of the world.

As for the states of Yan and Chu, they also have a history of 800 years. Why can't their royal palaces be compared with the palace of Qi? The reason is even simpler. During the attack of Qin, Chu moved its capital several times, so how could it still manage its former royal palace? As for Yan, it was too weak after all. Even though it plundered Qi back then, its foundation was ultimately limited.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty. From now on, everything in Qi will belong to Your Majesty." Bai Feng flattered Yang Chong with admiration.

Bai Feng said these words sincerely and they were not flattery at all.

Although Bai Feng is a proud young man, there are few people who truly respect him in his life, not even Ji Wuye in the past, or Mo Ya, who is both his teacher and friend.

But when facing Yang Chong, Bai Feng did not feel the slightest bit of pride.

What pride could he have in front of Yang Chong?

Yang Chong is of similar age to him, but his martial arts skills are better than his, and his wisdom is beyond his reach. Ji Wuye, who he once thought was unshakable, was easily killed by Yang Chong. Han Guo, who was already his world in his eyes, was discarded by Yang Chong. Now, Yang Chong has done what most people thought was impossible, which is to capture Linzi City.

You should know that only the State of Yan had done such a thing in those days. But at that time, Yan had the armies of four other countries leading the main force of the Qi army from the outside, which allowed the Yan army to accomplish the feat of capturing Linzi. However, Yang Chong accomplished this feat single-handedly.

So how could Bai Feng be proud in front of Yang Chong?

"This is just the first step, Bai Feng. Qi is just a stop on our journey. In the future, our journey will cover the entire world." Yang Chong said with high spirits, looking at the tall and majestic gate of the Qi Palace.

Power is a man's greatest courage. This is the case for Yang Chong at this moment. Being the king of a country is a great temptation for the people of this world. In the past thousand years of history, there have been countless historical books, but in the final analysis, no one can escape the pursuit of royal power. This is the main theme of history books.

And now Yang Chong has done it. If he really belongs to this world, then he can enjoy life now. But Yang Chong does not simply belong to this world. He has higher vision. Even becoming an emperor is not the ultimate goal for Yang Chong. What he wants is to create his own world according to his ideal.

The State of Qi was just a temporary goal for him.

"The world?" Bai Feng was silent. Everyone has his own world. He once thought that South Korea was the world, but now?

Is the world that Yang Chong is talking about really this world? Bai Feng is not sure about this.

"Disperse the intelligence personnel of Night. We need to control Linzi in the shortest time possible. Although there will not be any more major wars like before, small-scale wars will continue. The seventy-two cities of Qi are not so easy to occupy. Qi still has some brave people." Yang Chong said.

"Yes." Bai Feng responded.

At this time, Mo Ya had been transferred to become the captain of Yecheng, guarding Yecheng together with Xiao He. Ying Ge was left in Handan by Yang Chong to oversee the intelligence systems of Night in Yan and Zhao, in preparation for Yang Chong's subsequent plans for the two countries. The Night intelligence system scattered in Qi was managed by Bai Feng. In the future, these intelligence personnel would infiltrate the Wei and Chu states on both sides of the Huai River, take over the land north of the Huai River with Pengcheng as the core, and eventually form an east-west confrontation with Qin in the Central Plains.

"Let's go into the palace. We should also see what is unique about this eight hundred year old palace and how it differs from the Palace of King Han and the Palace of King Zhao." Yang Chong swaggered into the palace gate. Now everything here belongs to her, whether it is the treasures or the beauties inside.

Now Yang Chong just wants to indulge in everything. In other words, I have been fighting for so long, so what's wrong with enjoying myself.

The current Yang Chong is no longer the young boy who was just starting out. He would be shy when seeing a beautiful woman and would talk about feelings when encountering matters between men and women. Now, as he has left more and more marks on the world, the world is also constantly changing Yang Chong imperceptibly.

Yang Chong also has some of the problems that men of this era have.

As Yang Chong walked into the palace, eunuchs came forward to greet him. They were servants, and to them, there was no difference between Qi Wang Jian and Qi Wang Chong. If there was any difference, it was probably that Yang Chong was younger and more powerful than Qi Wang Jian.

When Yang Chong entered the palace, the whole city of Linzi had fallen into fear. Although not all the Dong'a troops had entered Linzi city, they had tightly controlled the city from top to bottom. The people of Linzi felt a suffocating atmosphere on the armor that still faintly glowed with blood.

Chapter 250: The World Discusses Martial Arts

The city of Linzi was uneasy. Although the people here had done sufficient psychological preparation when the city gates were opened, their fate was no longer in their own hands. How could they not be a little nervous? This was a matter of life and death, and even the prosperity and decline of the entire clan. If they were not careful, they might end up in disgrace.

Therefore, even though all the powerful families were confined to their mansions by the Dong'a Army, they still tried their best to find out the news about Yang Chong's entry into the city.

After all, Linzi City is too big. Even though Bai Feng has mobilized the troops and the power of Night to control every place, there are still some fish that slip through the net, so they really managed to find out some information.

For example, Yang Chong never came out after entering the Palace of King Qi.

It was normal for Yang Chong to enter the Prince of Qi's palace at this time, but the fact that he did not come out had other meanings.

The kings of the seven kingdoms, in addition to their supreme power, the beauties in their harems are also the envy of all men in the world. What can a man do when he enters such a place?

For a moment, some so-called smart people have figured it out.

In addition to some rumors that had occasionally been heard before, it was rumored that Yang Chong's family had a brothel owner and an oiran, a Yue ethnic seductress, and a killer of the night. Naturally, these women's identities were not worthy of Yang Chong, but Yang Chong still took them in, and even made the owner of Zi Lan Xuan his principal wife. Such a thing had a lot of implications.

Why does Yang Chong not care about a woman's identity? The reason is probably not difficult to imagine. Since he doesn't care about her identity, he can only care about her looks. Yang Chong has been labeled as a lustful man.

These people in Linzi City are not afraid of Yang Chong's lust, but they are afraid that Yang Chong is not lustful. If Yang Chong really has no weaknesses, how can they show goodwill to Yang Chong?

The powerful people in the city have too many reasons to please Yang Chong, the new master of Linzi City. However, pleasing others is a technical job and they have to please others in every way possible.

However, what surprised them was that although Yang Chong lived in the Palace of Prince Qi, he did not enter the harem that once belonged to Tian Jian.

It seems that Yang Chong entered the palace of King Qi just to show his status to the world, and he had no interest in sexual pleasure.

Could it be that we have seen it wrong? Or are those women in the palace not enough to satisfy the new King of Qi? After all, according to rumors, the women in the new King of Qi's harem are all stunningly beautiful.
