Qin Dynasty: Sword Asks the Bright Moon

"Why is the Queen Mother looking at me like this?" While Yang Ming was studying swordsmanship, Zhao Ji, who returned from Huayang Palace, did not return to the palace, but appeared directly in front of Yang Ming.

"The Ai family came to see you and see how far your hands can stretch." Zhao Ji said in a sinister tone.

"Are my hands very long?" Yang Ming looked at his palms. Although he didn't know why Zhao Ji was like this, he thought he could not escape her recent trip to Huayang Palace.

"If your hands were not long, why would there be anyone in Huayang Palace to help you?" Zhao Ji glared at Yang Ming and said.

She went to Huayang Palace just to ask the Queen Mother Huayang to help her push Yang Ming to the position of leading general in the battle to destroy the guards. Originally, she was thinking about how to bargain with the Queen Mother Huayang?

But she never expected that things went surprisingly smoothly. While Zhao Ji persuaded the Queen Mother Huayang, she actually made an unexpected friend, a maid beside the Queen Mother Huayang.

Thinking of that young maid, Zhao Ji had an unpleasant feeling. That maid was too young, very beautiful, and her temperament was dignified and elegant. Although she was a maid, in terms of charm and cultivation, she was not inferior to the princess of the country. , How could a maid like that help Yang Ming speak for no reason?

On the way back, Zhao Ji thought about it and could only point all kinds of speculations at Yang Ming.

"People from Huayang Palace speak for me?" Yang Ming thought, could it be Lord Changping? However, Lord Changping should not appear in front of the Queen Mother Huayang and Zhao Ji. Could it be Lord Changping's wife, that is? Princess of Qin, but it should not be so. If she were the wife of Lord Changping, Zhao Ji would not be as evil as she is now.

Yang Ming thought about it over and over again, and a figure that looked like a fairy appeared in his mind. It seemed that it could only be her.

"Why, who did you remember?" Zhao Ji, who had been paying attention to Yang Ming's expression, sneered. She had already gotten the answer she wanted from Yang Ming's expression.

"Now that I think about it, if there is anyone else in Huayang Palace who can speak for me, she is probably the only one." Yang Ming said.

"So, Yang Zhongcheng, your hands are really long." Zhao Ji said sourly.

"Queen Mother, are you jealous?" Yang Ming took Zhao Ji in his arms and gently stroked her perfectly curvy back. At this time, Zhao Ji was like a kitten with explosive hair, and she had to be comforted.

"Would the Ai family be jealous?" Zhao Ji sneered, but under Yang Ming's comfort, she had no intention of breaking away. "What is the relationship between that woman and you? Why does she want to help you?"

"The Ai family saw that although she is a maid, she seems to have a lot of status in front of the Queen Mother Huayang. She must not be an ordinary woman, right?"

"Is she called Concubine Yan? It should be her. She is from the Yin Yang family, and her status in the Yin Yang family is quite good. She has the title of Dongjun. In the Yin Yang family, nominally speaking, she should be The second person after Donghuang Taiyi, her coming to Xianyang should mean that the Yinyang family has reached some kind of agreement with the Queen Mother of Huayang." Yang Ming explained without hiding anything.

"Concubine Yan, the master of the Yin Yang family, this is really a big deal. Tell me, why is she helping you?" Zhao Ji asked.

"This is easy to say, because she owes me a favor." Yang Ming said half-truthfully.

"Favor?" Zhao Ji said in surprise. The answer was far from what she expected.

"Before, a yin and yang man broke into my mansion at night and was caught by me. Later, I betrayed Concubine Yan and let him go." Yang Mingdao.

"Really? When did you become so gentle?" Zhao Ji said hesitantly, with a look of disbelief on her face.

"My tenderness will only be given to you, Queen Mother." Yang Ming kissed Zhao Ji gently on her forehead.

"It's okay for you to deceive the Frightened Salamander, but you're still far from deceiving the Ai family." Zhao Ji sneered. She didn't believe Yang Ming's words, but what happened to her stretched eyebrows? ?

"The Yin Yang family is a giant even among hundreds of families. Under the protection of the Queen Mother, although I have no fear, I don't want to cause too much trouble. Besides, one more enemy is not as good as one more friend. That person doesn't mean anything to me. The threat will naturally give Concubine Yan some face, won't this be rewarded?" Yang Mingdao.

The money and goods from the previous transaction have been cleared. As for why Concubine Yan helped him, Yang Ming really didn't know, but Zhao Ji must know the reason. He knew what would happen if a woman with Zhao Ji's temper got entangled. Yang Ming, who was in trouble, could only make up a reason.

"I see, but you should stay away from the Yin Yang family in the future." Zhao Ji's expression softened, but she still warned.

"They are not related people at all." Yang Ming said nonchalantly.

"Weiguo's affairs have been 90% successful. With the joint efforts of the Ai family and the Queen Mother Huayang, even Lu Buwei can't cause too much trouble." After getting an answer that satisfied her, Zhao Ji's mind Great, so he told Yang Ming about his guardianship during this trip.

"What if there is someone from the Prime Minister's Mansion?" Yang Ming asked.

"No, you must know that the tiger talisman for mobilizing troops and horses is in the hands of the Ai family, with the help of the Queen Mother of Huayang. In this matter, Lu Buwei has to admit it even if he doesn't admit it." Zhao Ji said domineeringly.

Zhao Ji's power could be said to be the most powerful in Qin before King Qin took charge. The reason why she was restrained in everything she did was purely because she didn't know how to manage her own power, so she didn't have enough confidants to control her. The power has just become actual power, and the help of Queen Mother Huayang can just allow Zhao Ji to make up for this shortcoming.

After all, although the people of the Chu clan no longer have the same power as before, there are still many people left behind, touching all aspects of the military, politics, and finance of the Qin State.

If not, in the future, after Qin Wangzheng quickly cuts off the influence of Lu Buwei's lineage in the Prime Minister's Office, Qin will not allow the Qin State to have an excessive power so smoothly, and there will not be even a trace of chaos from beginning to end.

"In this battle of Weiguo, you have to fight well. As long as you can successfully destroy Weiguo, the Ai family can push you to the position of Jiuqing." Zhao Ji warned.

"Jiu Qing, that's really tempting." Yang Ming smiled.

"Work hard, the Ai family likes you to stand in front of everyone and get those people's awed looks." Zhao Ji expected.

"Forget it. Compared with the eyes of people like that, I still care more about the way you look at me, Queen Mother." Yang Ming continued to drink Yang's Ecstasy Soup for Zhao Ji.

"You're fooling the Ai family again." Zhao Ji muttered, but it was very useful. Although she was the Queen Mother, the way to get happiness was very simple. As long as she found the right method, she was a woman who was easily satisfied.

In the Huayang Palace, Concubine Yan's pair of jade hands were placed on Da Siming's lower abdomen, and threads of the inner breath of the sun spirit shuttled through Da Siming's Dantian, blending into the cloud energy that suppressed Da Siming's entire body. middle.

With the influx of Concubine Yan's inner breath, the cloud energy in Da Siming's dantian was slowly consumed.

After a long time, Concubine Yan retracted her palm, and there was already sweat on her forehead. Helping Da Siming to kill the cloud energy just now was a big drain on Concubine Yan, both in terms of skill and energy.

Concubine Yan closed her eyes and began to explore the situation between her meridians. She felt that while she was helping Da Siming eliminate the troublesome clouds, her inner strength of the sun seemed to have undergone subtle changes.

The previous inner breath of the sun spirit was too overbearing, and there was always a tingling feeling when it wandered between the meridians. It is precisely because of this that whenever it hits the first-class realm, the tingling feeling will affect her. His mental state makes it difficult for him to break through to the first-class level in one go.

But when the cloud energy in Sun Ling's inner breath and Da Si Ming's dantian blended with each other in the process of consumption, the domineering power in Sun Ling's inner breath seemed to be weakened a bit, a bit less domineering, and a bit more gentle.

Sun Spirit is not just about high temperatures. When it passes through the layers of clouds in the sky and scatters on the ground, it is also one of the basic vitality that nourishes all things.

Thinking of this, Concubine Yan's heart couldn't help but move slightly, and she had already thought of a possibility.

"Could it be that his inner strength can really remove the three-point domineering power of my Sun Spirit Inner Breath and make it more gentle? So that I don't have to resort to the secret technique that will leave huge drawbacks after reaching the master level. "?" Concubine Yan was thinking, the expression between her brows changing.

"Such a discovery may not be a good thing for me. It's okay if I can't see hope. At least I won't think too much about it. But when I see hope, it's hard to reach. This is the most distressing thing." Concubine Yan thought and let her mind go.

That possibility was really tempting to her, but what did that have to do with her? After all, Yang Ming was not familiar with her, so why did he have to help her?

When Yang Ming was worried about how to master the art of gazing, Concubine Yan was also worried about her delay in breaking through to the first-class level.

In the following days, as punishment for the five-nation coalition's joint attack on Qin in the spring, a plan to destroy the Wei State and complete the last piece of the Qin State's strategy of isolating the Three Jins appeared in the Qin State's court.

Soon, the Qin court reached a consensus to send troops from Xianyang and mobilize some soldiers and horses from Hanoi County and Hedong County, totaling 50,000 soldiers and horses to destroy the guards.

But on the issue of who should lead the army, Qin Chaoyang was caught in a lot of controversy.

Lu Buwei pushed out Meng Wu, who is now the governor of Dongjun and the legitimate son of former General Meng Ao. In the face of such a candidate, even if Zhao Ji and Queen Mother Huayang teamed up to push out Yang Ming, it would be difficult to pull Meng Wu down. .

After all, Meng Wu was originally the governor of Dongjun, and Dongjun was connected to Weiguo. In addition, Meng Ao had just resigned from the position of general, so everyone in Qin State had to give Meng Ao some face.

But just when Lu Buwei thought he had a chance to win, something unexpected happened, because Meng Ao, who had already removed his armor and returned to his fields, stepped forward and took the initiative to reject the appointment for his son Meng Wu, and recommended Yang Ming for this appointment. The leader of the Destroyers.

As the saying goes, there is a twists and turns, and when Meng Ao comes forward, even Lu Buwei is helpless.
