Qin Dynasty: Sword Asks the Bright Moon

Li Wu had been in contact with Yang Ming since the time of Yanmen. At that time, the sergeants in Yanmen City all called Yang Ming the number one warrior in Yanmen County. Li Wu actually didn't feel much about such a title.

After all, she was a woman whose main job was an assassin and her second job was a dancer. She didn't know anything about the fighting she saw in the military formation, and she had no idea at all. Li Wu knew that Yang Ming's martial arts was very high and even better than hers, but that was all.

But now, Yang Ming told Li Wu that she had killed Luo Wangtianzi's first-class killer Zhi Ri. Li Wu still had a vague understanding of Zhi Ri's strength. Therefore, at this time, Li Wu was completely Fell into shock.

Even Yu'er, who had always been cold and cold, showed emotions when looking at Yang Ming. Zhan Ri and she were both Tianzi first-class killers. She knew the opponent's strength very well, and Zhan Ri's overall strength was still greater than her own. above, and the position of the covering sun in the snare must also be above oneself.

In particular, his next mission was planned by Zhan Ri, but this person who had the potential to be a second person in Luo Wang was beaten to death by Yang Ming.

In the eyes of several pairs of shocked eyes, Yang Ming said: "This can be regarded as revenge for you, Yu'er."

"Revenge?" Li Wu's heart trembled when she heard this. Is the person who did it last night really Luo Sheng?

And Yu'er also showed appropriate shock at this time: "It turns out that man is hiding the sun. No wonder his martial arts are so powerful."

"That's why I have to thank Yu'er. If you hadn't helped me at the critical moment, I wouldn't have been able to take that sword." Yang Ming said with a smile.

While Yang Ming was chatting with several women in the courtyard, Lu Buwei also got the news that Lao Ai was beaten to death in Ganquan Palace.

"Lao Ai actually died in the martial arts competition? How is this possible? He just said that he might not be able to win, but he didn't say that he was not Yang Ming's opponent? Moreover, Yang Ming was very measured in his moves during the martial arts competition yesterday. How come today? Would you do such a cruel thing? Could it be?" Lu Qi, who was ordered to be grounded by Lu Buwei, said in shock.

He has always regarded Lao Ai as his true friend. Although not long ago, because of the assassination, Lu Buwei thought that Lao Ai was constantly using him, but after many years of friendship, even after he has recognized Lao Ai's true face , when I heard the news that Lao Ai was beaten to death, I still felt uncomfortable.

"Being beaten to death is a good thing. Speaking of which, this incident can be regarded as a blessing in disguise for you." Lu Buwei twirled his beard and muttered.

"As a first-class assassin in Luowang Tianzi, he is in charge of the intelligence systems of South Korea and Wei, but he wants to use your friendship to seek the position of captain of Ganquan Palace. What is he trying to do? He just wants to get close to the Queen Mother Zhao and use Zhao The power of the Queen Mother can help her get more things. If he really realizes his plan, he will have the help of the net. Coupled with the power of the Queen Mother Zhao, he might really be able to cause a big storm in the Qin State. "

"And now, he happened to be beaten to death, but Yang Ming, I underestimated him." Lu Buwei pondered, seeming to be thinking of something.

"Did he already know that the person who assassinated him last night was Lao Ai?" Lu Qi asked. After realizing it, he already knew about last night's assassination. He was completely used by Lao Ai.

"Is it difficult to know that it was Lao Ai who moved the hand?" Lu Buwei glanced at Lu Qi sideways, and the disappointment in his heart deepened.

Lu Buwei didn't have many children. In the early years, in order to make money, and later for his own plan to live in rare goods, he traveled all year round, and indeed neglected to teach his children, so that several of his children were not very successful.

But as his eldest son, Lu Qi was trained at all costs. After all, if the Lu family wants to prosper, Lu Buwei cannot be the only one. There are second and third generations to pass on the family business. , but now it seems that the second generation of the Lu family has been completely ruined.

He thought that handing the snare into Lu Qi's hands would allow Lu Qi to improve his skills through experience, but he never thought that a sharp sword like the snare, falling into the hands of someone who could not control it, would be like a child holding a heavy weapon without hurting the enemy. But he hurt himself first.

Thinking of this, Lu Buwei said: "Luo Wang, you are no longer suitable to be in charge. I will arrange other errands for you."

"Father?" Lu Qi was stunned, and then became depressed. He knew that he had completely disappointed his father.

He only started to take over Luowang three years ago. During these two years, he was determined to make some achievements so that his father would look at him with admiration.

To this end, he recruited Lao Ai. With Lao Ai's assistance, he formulated one grand plan after another. He recruited talents from all over the seven countries to enrich his network. He worked hard for three years, but he still disappointed his father. .

Lao Ai's life and death, he lost the chance to prove himself, what is the purpose of his efforts in the past three years? For a moment, Lu Qi felt frustrated.

"A snare is a double-edged sword. It can hurt the enemy as well as yourself, and you don't have enough ability to control it." Looking at his frustrated son, Lu Buwei's tone softened slightly. After all, this is also his eldest son. , is biological.

"Father, Lao Ai has always been in charge of Luo Wang's plan against the Wei State. Now that Lao Ai is dead, the affairs there are still light. Father, please arrange the person to take over as soon as possible." Seeing that the situation could not be changed, Lu Qi could only admit that He knew the reality, but before he could completely withdraw from the trap, there was one thing he had to arrange.

A series of plans against Wei State have consumed most of the energy of him and Lao Ai in the past three years. He does not want this plan that has consumed a lot of his experience to die.

"I already have a candidate to replace Zhiri, and your plan in Wei will be implemented smoothly." Lu Buwei said.

"I am worrying too much." Lu Qi then said: "Father, what happened about the assassination last night?"

Although Lao Ai died, the assassination was not over yet, and the people in the Lieutenant's Mansion were still investigating.

"Everything was done by Lao Ai on her own initiative, and she secretly mobilized the power of the net to assassinate court officials. Now that Lao Ai has been killed by Yang Ming, it can be considered that the injustice has been done and the debtor has the owner, and the case can be closed." Lu Buwei said nonchalantly.

"Father, will the Lieutenant's Mansion and Tingwei Mansion believe it?" Lu Qi asked.

"If they don't believe me, they still have to believe what I said. You don't have to worry about this matter." Lu Buwei said.

Taking advantage of the night, Li Wu and Yu'er followed Yang Ming and others back to Jinghua Garden. Although Yang Ming said he was stingy before, after arriving at Jinghua Garden, he still ordered several famous prostitutes to accompany him.

Amidst the singing and dancing, Meng Tian kept a serious expression on his face. Even if there was a famous prostitute by his side, he still kept the proper distance, making it difficult for the famous prostitute beside him to hide his gloomy look.

Meng Tian didn't like places like Jinghua Garden, but Yang Ming invited him and he couldn't refuse.

The two brothers Li Xin and Li Jue were quite dissolute, drinking and having fun with the famous prostitutes who accompanied them. Obviously, they had sufficient experience in a place like Jinghua Garden.

Yunze, on the other hand, was a little reserved, even nervous. He raised his wine cup several times and wanted to toast Yang Ming, but in the end, for some unknown reason, he poured the wine into his mouth.

"The Queen Mother is about to move into Ganquan Palace. Before that, the 600 guards of Ganquan Palace need to be organized in advance." Yang Ming put down his wine cup and said.

Following Yang Ming's actions, Meng Tian, ​​Li Xin, Li Jue and Yun Ze put down their wine cups at the same time. They knew that Yang Ming had something more to say.

"Li Jue, Yunze, we have fought against each other before. You two are good at martial arts. I wonder if you are interested in joining the Ganquan Palace Guards and serving as a leader." Yang Ming asked Li Jue and Yunze.

The imperial guards of Ganquan Palace were different from the ordinary Qin army infantry establishment, but were completely organized according to the cavalry establishment. After all, this guard was the guard guarding the palace when Zhao Ji was in Ganquan Palace, but when Zhao Ji was out, At that time, he was also a casual follower. Every guard must have both the skills of riding and riding.

The guards of Ganquan Palace have one commander for five people, one official for ten people, one commander for one hundred people, and one general for two hundred people. Above the general, there is Yang Ming, the captain of the Ganquan Palace.

Yang Ming promised the two men the position of leading a hundred people, which was enough to show his sincerity.

"Colonel Yang thinks highly of me, Li Jue. How can I, Li Jue, not know how to praise me? Not to mention being straight-forward, even if I am just a pawn, I, Li Jue, will not hesitate." Li Jue was the first to express his stance.

But Yunze did not speak, but clenched his fists tightly, his face red, as if he was drunk.

"Could Yunze have other plans?" Seeing Yunze's condition, Yang Ming asked.

In the sight of everyone, Yunze suddenly stood up from his seat. Amid everyone's doubts, he actually came to the field, knelt down directly, and said excitedly: "Thank you for your kindness, sir."

After saying that, he bowed his head to the ground.

Kneeling is not a common practice in this era. Even if you meet a superior in official circles, you do not need to perform this ceremony, but Yunze...

Seeing Yunze's fierce reaction, Yang Ming was slightly shocked. However, Li Xin looked at Yunze with a look of contempt, while Meng Tian showed a thoughtful look. As for Li Jue, This person only felt that Yunze's reaction was a bit exaggerated, but what else? He didn't feel anything else.

No matter how surprised Yang Ming was at this time, faced with such a situation, he still stepped forward to help Yunze up and said: "We will serve the Queen Mother loyally from now on, as colleagues and comrades-in-arms, so there is no need for such a big gift."

"Yunze will remember your kindness for the rest of his life. If Yunze shows any disloyalty in the future, he will be punished by God and die." Yunze swore.

Yang Ming looked at Yunze, who had a serious face that didn't seem to be hypocritical, and vaguely understood something.

Yunze was born in Nanjun. His ancestor was a low-level official in the Chu State. When Bai Qi led the Qin army to conquer the capital of Chu, Ying, after the Qin State established Nanjun, even this small official status was lost. In order to revive his father, Yunze Jiamen resolutely joined the Qin army, but after struggling for nearly twenty years, he could only hold the position of captain of a hundred, and there was no chance for him to go up.

He came to Xianyang from Nanjun with the hope of the whole clan. If he could not establish himself in Xianyang, he would be so disappointed when he returned home.

After failing in the martial arts competition, he was already in despair and was ready to return to Nanjun in despair, but he never thought that Yang Ming would give him a chance now.

This was an opportunity that his ancestors had not had for hundreds of years. It was an opportunity that his father had not received despite nearly dying in the military. It was an opportunity that allowed him and the family behind him to make the leap from civilians to real officials.

Such an opportunity may be worthless to people like Li Xin and Meng Tian, ​​but to people like Yunze, it is a precious thing that generations of people have struggled to obtain.
