Qin Dynasty: Sword Asks the Bright Moon

In Xianyang Palace, the young Qin Wangzheng listened to the imperial doctor's report, with a look of joy on his young and stern face.

"Go down. You have to be careful about Mrs. Mi." King Qin said.

"No." The imperial doctor bowed and excused himself.

Just now, the young King of Qin received the exact news from the imperial physician. The child Mrs. Mi was carrying was a boy, and everything was normal. He was expected to be born in the near future, that is, in about two months.

Thinking of this, Qin Wangzheng's mood became better and better. He was excited about becoming a father, and also felt the joy of having a queen and a successor. The heir was very important to Qin Wangzheng, because the appearance of the heir could make the court wait and see. People gradually understand their own power. At least they will realize that there will be no surprises if they turn to his Qin King's government. No matter what happens in the future, the Qin King's throne will be passed down in his lineage.

"Zhao Gao, has the reorganization of the Ganquan Palace guards been completed?" Qin Wangzheng, who was in a good mood, asked Zhao Gao, his chamberlain.

"Reporting to your Majesty, the formation has almost been completed." Zhao Gao replied cautiously.

"Who are they?" Qin Wangzheng asked.

"They are all brothers, descendants or relatives of the former guards of Ganquan Palace who were killed in the battle or retired due to disability." Zhao Gaodao.

"Is this all the case?" Qin Wangzheng said in surprise.

The combat power of the Ganquan Palace Guards has been fully demonstrated in the Battle of Qicheng. They can be regarded as the most elite in any Qin army. However, such a powerful force uses this method to replenish its troops. , will it really not affect its overall combat effectiveness?

"Yes." Zhao Gao nodded.

"Li Xin, you have a good relationship with Yang Ming. Do you know why he did this?" Qin Wangzheng looked at Li Xindao, who was standing under a pillar not far away.

"Reporting to the king, Yang Zhongcheng's move is to gain the loyalty of the guards, not only the old guards, but also the new guards." Li Xin replied.

"This is indeed a good idea, but will this really not affect the combat effectiveness of the Ganquan Palace guards? The guards are all elites, but not everyone can do it." Qin Wangzheng said thoughtfully.

"Your Majesty, this problem may not be a problem at all for Yang Zhongcheng. Maybe in his eyes, he can train even ordinary people into real elites."

"Do you believe in his ability so much?" Qin Wangzheng said in surprise.

Although in military reports, the Battle of Wucheng was extremely tragic, and Yang Ming's performance in the battle was even more stunning, after all, Qin Wangzheng did not visit the battlefield in person, and the description in words was not so intuitive, so his impression of Yang Ming Still very limited.

Moreover, who Li Xin is, how could Qin Wangzheng, who personally summoned him as a Langguan, not know clearly. It is not easy for a proud and arrogant person like Li Xin to say what he just said.

"I dare not say anything else, but Yang Zhongcheng's ability to control the military situation before the battle is among the best in the world. General Zhao is not a mediocre person, but even so, in the hands of Yang Zhongcheng, even if he has an absolute advantage in military strength, I never took any advantage." Li Xin said.

Although Li Xin was confident, he was not so arrogant as to cover his eyes. He truly admired Yang Ming.

"Tell me in detail what happened in the Battle of Qicheng." Qin Wangzheng said with a thought. He had become quite interested in Yang Ming because of Yang Ming's reorganization of the Ganquan Palace guards.

Because he had learned about the Daliang incident in the Wei State before, Qin Wangzheng, who had a full understanding of Yang Ming's use of vertical and horizontal methods, now wanted to have a deeper understanding of Yang Ming's ability in military science. After all, if his plan was For it to unfold, Yang Mingke still needs to play an important role in it. If Yang Ming is not capable enough, it will seriously affect his plan.

Is he just a genius who is proficient in the art of verticality and military strategy? What is the purpose of such a person staying in the Queen Mother's Ganquan Palace? Also, where did he learn from it? Could it be that he is a contemporary disciple of Zongheng? Doubts inevitably arose in Qin Wangzheng's mind.

Li Xin's narrative is indeed very different from the information in the military newspaper. The military newspaper only recorded the results of the war, but in Li Xin's narrative, Qin Wangzheng saw a real war.

"It seems that I have really underestimated the imperial guard captain of my mother." Qin Wangzheng pondered, only feeling that his plan had all the conditions for implementation.

"Li Xin, what else do you have to say?" Qin Wangzheng saw the hesitation on Li Xin's face while he was thinking, so he took the initiative to ask.

"Reporting to your Majesty, Yang Zhongcheng checked into his new residence today, held a dinner, and invited Beizhi to be a guest. Beizhi would like to take a day off tomorrow night." Li Xin did not dare to hide it.

"I see, the housewarming ceremony should indeed be celebrated. I'm sure, Zhao Gao, you go to my private treasury to pick out two gifts. Of course they are the gifts I will give to Yang Ming for my housewarming ceremony." King Qin Politics.

"No." Zhao Gao responded.

The plaque has been hung up again in Yang Mansion. In the night, the central courtyard hall is brightly lit, with the pleasant sound of silk and bamboo coming from inside, and the dancers invited from Jinghua Garden are dancing gracefully. As the owner, Yang Ming Listed on the main seat.

On both sides, there were brothers Meng Tian and Meng Yi who had been invited, subordinates of the Ganquan Palace guards such as Wei Wei and Yun Ze, Yang Xiong, a tribesman, and Wang Ben, who had fought alongside Yang Ming in Jingshui. Wang family.

Halfway through the banquet, an unexpected person came to the hall. It turned out to be Changping Lord Xiong Qi, Yang Ming's nominal superior.

"Yang Zhongcheng, please don't be offended if you come uninvited." Xiong Qi said with his fists in his arms. Although he was wearing a long robe, he had a heroic spirit. It must be said that a person like him who came from a royal family was really honest in his words and deeds. Quite elegant, it is a kind of cultivation that has been integrated into the blood.

It's hard to dislike such a person.

"Where, where, Mr. Changping can come, my place will be really prosperous." Yang Ming stood up and greeted him.

After Xiong Qi and the others greeted each other, he naturally sat in the seat given by Wei Wei, but he did not leave his seat and instead sat side by side with Wei Wei.

Even the cunning old man on Wei Wei's side couldn't help but feel good about Xiong Qi at this moment. He was neither shy nor arrogant, which was pretty much how he described a person like Xiong Qi.

Time passed quickly between pushing cups and changing cups, but Xiong Qi was not the only unexpected guest. When Li Xin and Zhao Gao appeared together, even Xiong Qi showed a surprised look.

Especially after seeing a scimitar and a tiger-shaped pendant, everyone looked even more surprised.

The scimitar is a good knife, and the tiger-shaped pendant is also made of top-quality Lantian jade. If it were just that, it wouldn't make everyone treat them differently, but if they take into account their former master, everything becomes interesting.

Qin Wangzheng, what was his consideration in sending such a thing at this time? For a time, all thoughtful people considered this issue.

"Brother Zhao, take me to thank the king after you go back. I like these two gifts very much." Yang Ming took the scimitar shaped like a crescent moon and a name could not help but appear in his mind.

Thinking of this, Yang Ming slowly drew out his scimitar. Under the light, the blade reflected snow-white light. There are many famous swords in the world, but there is no scimitar like this, because the real master swordsmith has no interest in forging it. Such a scimitar.

Everyone was slightly surprised when they saw Yang Ming's reaction, but it didn't seem to matter. The ministers of a country in this era were not the slaves of the monarch, but more like collaborators. Yang Ming seemed to have no problem saying these words.

In the sight of everyone, Yang Ming looked at the scimitar in his hand, and suddenly he made a vertical slash forward, using the halberd's slashing method on the scimitar. Under the powerful and domineering power, there was a sound of howling. Come on, that's the sound of the air being cut.

"If such a knife cuts a person's body, it will probably be a real cut in two." Many people thought in their hearts.

When the banquet dispersed, it was almost late at night. After seeing off the guests, Yang Ming left Yunze alone.

"What are your plans next?" Yang Ming, who was standing with Yunze in the courtyard enjoying the cool air, asked.

Yunze had half of his arm broken, so he definitely couldn't stay in the army. Although his title was high enough to serve as an official, he was still considered half-disabled after all, and it was difficult to obtain official status. The key to a suitable position is that Yunze is a very ambitious young man with his own pursuits, and not a small official position can make him give up his ideals.

The death of his ideal is the greatest pain and regret for Yunze now.

"I'm going back to Nanjun, and I asked Zhongcheng to help me find a good position." Yunze said with a smile, as if he didn't care about his broken arm at all.

"Nanjun, I heard that Yunmeng Daze there is a good place. I must go and see it if I have the chance. I don't know if I can see the Yunmeng Goddess then." Yang Ming said yearningly.

A place like Yunmeng Daze is really the most beautiful only in this era. As for another time and space, that is already a matter in the pile of old papers.

"There are many goddesses in Yunmeng. According to ancient legends, within almost ten years, someone claimed to have seen the goddess in Yunmeng Daze. If Zhongcheng had gone there, with Zhongcheng's grace, he might really be able to impress the goddess Yunmeng. ." Yunze complimented.

There are indeed many people living around Yunmeng Daze who say that they saw the goddess in Yunmeng Daze. Some of them are false, but some of them are indeed true. It’s just that the goddess Yunmeng is a human being. Or a goddess, that might be another question.

"When goddesses enter the mortal world, are they still goddesses? Let them stay in myths and legends." Yang Ming said indifferently.

Yang Ming has some guesses about the so-called Yunmeng Goddess, because according to his understanding, the sect of the Yinyang family is in Yunmeng Daze. If the people around Yunmeng Daze see her in Yunmeng Daze, Those women of the Yin Yang family who have developed their aesthetics beyond this era would really regard them as the legendary Yunmeng goddess.

After all, in terms of appearance, the Yin and Yang family has always been the strongest among the hundreds of families. Coupled with the special temperament and gorgeous clothes that were born out of Taoism, they really fit people's imagination of the Yunmeng goddess.

"The good mood of Zhongcheng is beyond the reach of a mortal like me. To be honest, for those of us who grew up in Yunmengze, about nine out of ten people will marry a Yunmeng goddess as their wife when they are young. wish.”
