Qin Dynasty: Sword Asks the Bright Moon

When Zhao Ji returned to the palace, the scene she had just seen in the garden kept replaying in her mind, and the words Yang Ming once said to her appeared in her ears from time to time.

"The Ai family's face." After thinking about it, Zhao Ji couldn't help but sigh, feeling it was boring.

"What's wrong with the Aijia?" Zhao Ji reached out and touched her heart, pressing the soft target into a deep dent. She seemed to want to touch her heart and see what was going on in her heart. an idea.

In front of Zhao Ji was the fact that Yang Ming, who seemed different to her, seemed to be no different from those who flattered her and wanted to get something from her.

Zhao Ji has seen many such people. If she is in a bad mood, she will punish such people. If she is in a good mood, she does not mind letting such people get some benefits.

But Yang Ming? Thinking of Yang Ming's possible deception, Zhao Ji found that she couldn't get angry at all when she should have been angry, and she only felt empty.

It was a feeling of disappointment, disappointment replaced anger, and this was the first time for Zhao Ji.

Thinking of the young man she saw in Qilin Pavilion that afternoon, Zhao Ji couldn't help but feel disappointed.

Thinking back on the contact between the two, from the idle chat, to the competition for the position of Captain of Ganquan Palace, to that afternoon, the blood flowing under the sword blade, and the sound of "little aunt". Zhao Ji suddenly realized that she had had so much contact with Yang Ming.

In Zhao Ji's mind, a fact was clearly presented, a fact that she had not been able to discover before. She understood why she was not angry, only disappointed.

"Huh? It's really funny. Who is the Ai family like that?" Zhao Ji smiled, but the smile was very strange. It was a sad smile, a bitter smile, or something else.

"If you want to get something from the Aijia, then the Aijia will give it to you. However, if you lie to the Aijia again, the Aijia will never let you go again." Zhao Ji thought, falling into In a long-lasting memory.

Yuan Li, who never left Zhao Ji more than ten steps away, looked at Zhao Ji in fear. It was really that Zhao Ji was so abnormal now, so abnormal that it gave her an unknown fear.

Yuan Li couldn't help but feel sympathy for Yang Ming. In Ganquan Palace, if anyone made Zhao Ji feel bad, she could make that person feel bad.

"I thought I heard something just now?" In the garden, Jing salamander said to Yang Ming while adjusting his wrinkled dress.

"Not everyone can enter a place like this." Yang Ming, who felt refreshed, said as he looked at the charming Jing Salamander with jade-like cheeks.

"But there are still people who can get in and out." Jing Salamander suddenly seemed to have become much more alert, and he caught the loophole in Yang Ming's words in just a moment.

"It's nothing, it's just that someone saw it." Yang Ming stretched his arms, picked up the Frightened Salamander, and placed the soft ball on his lap.

"Is it the Queen Mother and the others?" Jing Salad said in astonishment, and immediately felt worried. A killer might not care about Zhao Ji's power, but as Yang Ming, the woman of Ganquan Palace's captain, Jing Salad had to make herself think about it. Lots and lots of stuff.

"Yes." Yang Ming nodded.

"Then we were all seen just now?" Frightened Salamander's expression was already more than a little panicked.

"I'm afraid so, but don't worry, they won't see too much. You belong to me, and I don't want others to take advantage of you, not even women." Yang Ming was half joking, half acknowledging Zhichi said.

"Is there really no problem?" Jing Salamander still said worriedly.

"Don't worry, the Queen Mother didn't rush over immediately. She won't say anything else after that," Yang Ming said.

"Really? Just, husband, how do you know that the Queen Mother will not pursue it later?" Jing Salad asked suspiciously. Although she had absolute trust in Yang Ming, just like she did in Daliang, the Queen Mother Zhao and Yang Ming were involved. How could Ming be so sure?

It has to be said that no matter what kind of female killer she is, she is still a woman, and some female talents are flowing in her blood. As long as there is a suitable opportunity, these potential talents will turn into reality.

"Because she is the Queen Mother Zhao." Yang Ming said.

Dealing with a woman like Queen Mother Zhao requires a lot of strategy, and the relationship between Yang Ming and Zhao Ji is now a process of testing each other intentionally or unintentionally. However, Yang Ming's testing is proactive and manifests unintentionally. But Zhao Ji's temptation was passive, but manifested intentionally.

This process is a see-saw process, and it depends on who can figure out the opponent's background first. At that time, the person in the lead will be able to take the initiative in this game.

"What answer is this?" Jing Salamander asked with slight dissatisfaction in confusion. She felt that Yang Ming was perfunctory with her.

"Okay, let's practice swordplay now." Yang Ming took the initiative to change the subject.

"Rest for a while, rest for a while." Frightened Salamander said slightly panicked.

"You?" Yang Ming looked at the Frightened Salamander on his legs in astonishment. He could clearly feel that the temperature of the Frightened Salamander's body had risen a lot in an instant.

"I'm talking about this sword." Yang Ming took the two long swords placed on the stone table and said.

"That's what I said." Jing Salamander calmed down. For a moment, even Yang Ming couldn't tell what Jing Salamander was really thinking at this moment.

As time went by, Yang Ming's life was very peaceful. In the morning, he would deal with official duties or practice with the guards on their rotation. In the afternoon, he would learn swordsmanship with Jing Salamander. In the evening, he would go to the Meng family every ten days. On this trip, he and Meng Tian studied the art of war with Meng Ao. In such a monotonous life, the time soon came to the fifth year of the Qin Dynasty.

However, during this period of time, Yang Ming saw Zhao Ji less and less.

In the early spring of the fifth year of King Qin's reign, the spring breeze gradually blew away the coldness of winter, and the Guanzhong Plain became a little more vibrant and green.

After a month, Yang Ming met Zhao Ji again and met the owner of Ganquan Palace.

There is a small wooden bridge built on the river inside Ganquan Palace. This is a separate courtyard of Ganquan Palace. There is flowing water on the small bridge and wooden house fences. There are swans gathering on the river to play, and fish swimming around in panic. escape.

It is said that this place was a piece of land specially designated by the Empress Dowager Xuan. In the Ganquan Palace with tall buildings and halls, a wooden house that was no different from ordinary people was built.

No one knows why a woman with such a high position as the Empress Dowager Xuan would build such an ordinary small courtyard in a place like Ganquan Palace. However, some people know that the Empress Dowager Xuan often came here in her later years and stood alone on the small bridge. , look at the flowing water under the bridge, caressing the railing alone and thinking deeply, it seems to be reminiscing, and also seems to be paying tribute.

One afternoon, Zhao Ji came to this place alone, a place that had no owner for a long time.

Looking at the small bridge and flowing water in front of her, Zhao Ji suddenly understood why the Queen Mother Xuan came to such a place to be alone in her later years.

Ganquan Palace is too big, too magnificent, and there are too many people, but it is also because of this that it is easier to feel lonely in a place like Ganquan Palace.

The palace is too high and too big, so that people in front of it are so small. There are too many people, but there are so many people, but no one can truly communicate with them. The more people there are, the more lonely they feel in contrast. The heavier.

"Sometimes, it's really not a good thing for people to be too smart." Zhao Ji looked at the running water and rubbed her forehead in distress.

In her sight, a group of patrolling soldiers patrolled past the palace wall in the distance. Seeing those guards, Zhao Ji couldn't help but think of the person who seemed to have deceived her.

The distance was too far, so Zhao Ji couldn't see anything, but suddenly, she saw a figure jumping down from the palace wall. The height of almost five feet seemed to not exist under the person's feet. Zhao Ji There was only time to see an afterimage, and the man was already on the ground.

Immediately, an afterimage flashed in the distance from time to time, getting closer and closer.

This was obviously a master, a master coming towards Zhao Ji. Such a master with unknown intentions approached Zhao Ji so quickly. Normally, Zhao Ji might have instinctively called for help, but at this time, she did not come out. Sound means.

The figure moved so fast that even a person with martial arts skills would have difficulty identifying the person coming, but Zhao Ji showed no signs of panic because she knew who the person coming was. In Ganquan Palace, she dared to do this. There is only one person who runs around unscrupulously.

"I have met the Queen Mother in my humble position." Yang Ming came under the bridge and saluted Zhao Ji.

"Colonel Yang, running so unscrupulously in the palace grounds has violated the prohibitions of Ganquan Palace. As the Colonel of Ganquan Palace, you should know what kind of crime this is." Looking at Yang Ming who appeared in front of her, Zhao Ji looked calmly. said.

Zhao Ji once wanted to tame Yang Ming, just like taming a pet. Later, as Zhao Ji's taming plan began, she regarded Yang Ming as her descendant. The words "little aunt" echoed in her mind countless times. , imprinted in her heart.

At that time, she didn't think much about it, but as time passed and with the appearance of Jing Salamander, Zhao Jicai suddenly realized a fact, a fact that even she did not dare to face.

It was precisely because of this that even though she had begun to suspect that Yang Ming was probably just cheating on her, she still couldn't get angry, but instead felt a sense of relief.

If everything is false, Zhao Ji will be disappointed, but she will not have any more emotions, such as anger. But what if everything is true?

"Then please punish the queen mother." Faced with Zhao Ji's calmness, Yang Ming smiled without any sense of dignity.

At this time, the sunlight was shining on Yang Ming's body, making Zhao Ji feel the temperature of the sun from Yang Ming's body. At this moment, Zhao Ji suddenly had an impulse. She hoped that these were true.
