Qin Dynasty: Sword Asks the Bright Moon

After some discussions, Qin Wangzheng also knew that he could not suppress the turmoil in the Western Chu State, so he decided to send Xiong Qi, a man with deep connections with the Chu State, to Suiyang to take charge of Dang County and Runan County. As well as the government affairs of the three counties of Surabaya County divided from Dong County.

After walking out of Xianyang Palace, Yang Ming was about to leave, but was stopped by Xiong Qi.

"Lian'er misses you as a foster father very much. I always clamored to visit you before, but I always stopped him." Xiong Qidao walked with Yang Ming on the road in front of Xianyang Palace.

"You, as a father, can't stop this matter?" Yang Ming said. Speaking of which, Mi Lian seems to be quite young. Is she twelve or thirteen years old this year?

Thinking of the famous prostitute from Zuimenglou in East County, Yang Ming felt dazed for a moment. Xiong Qi's choice in the future seemed really speechless. It was just a pity that a girl like Mi Lian didn't know anything. , but it has to be the price Xiong Qi pays for his own choice.

"It's not like you just came back. You must be busy with a lot of things at home. It's not appropriate for Lian'er to bother you again," Xiong Qi explained.

"Then I really want to thank you for considering me, but the little guy didn't bother you?" Yang Ming said speechlessly.

"It's definitely a quarrel, but it's useless, because I have a valid reason. Otherwise, our two families are not far apart. If Lian'er can't be persuaded, she can secretly run to your house." Xiong Qi As he spoke, he even showed a loving look. He was very satisfied with the woman's well-behaved and sensible nature, and he had been training his daughter to be a noble girl.

"You seem to be showing off?" Yang Ming glanced sideways at Xiong Qi, but was completely indifferent to his words. Are you proud of raising a well-behaved daughter? Even if you don’t see it, half of it belongs to you?

"No, no, but you should be free during this period. How about taking your adopted daughter back with you? Otherwise, even if she is as well-behaved as Lian'er, I'm afraid she won't be willing to do it." Xiong Qi suggested, When it comes to goddaughters, Xiong Qi is quite principled.

"This is your goal, right? But it's also true that I haven't seen her for a long time. If it takes a while, I'm afraid I won't recognize her anymore." Yang Ming muttered, already agreeing with Xiong Qi's proposal.

"What do you think of the land of Western Chu?" After finishing one topic, Xiong Qi asked another topic.

"Don't you already have an idea? What are you asking me to do?" Yang Ming asked.

In the Xianyang Palace before, there was a tacit understanding between Qin Wangzheng and Xiong Qi, the right prime minister. Xiong Qi's Chu bloodline could dilute the hostility of the Western Chu land to Qin and thus appease people's hearts. How can we say this? It can only be said to be whimsical, and the final result also proves it, because the final result is not that Xiong Qi influenced Chu Di, but that the people of Chu Di assimilated Xiong Qi.

Unfortunately, Yang Ming does not have a big say in this matter, because the distance between Yang Ming and Qin Wangzheng has become farther and farther away in Yandi. What Qin Wangzheng wants is to push forward with force in a short period of time. The great unification, while Yang Ming is thinking about gradual progress. In the power structure, the differences in political opinions can be said to be extremely far apart.

Fortunately, Yang Ming has already thought about retiring into seclusion. Donghuang Taiyi's proposal is also very tempting for Yang Ming. It is truly invincible strength, a strength that transcends the rules of this world, especially the prospect of immortality. , the ultimate fear of death may be able to be defeated. In Yang Ming's view, this is the most urgent thing.

Because the situation in the world is about to change drastically. The Chu State will not be able to survive for three years, but the Qi State will fall overnight. Within five years, Donghuang Taiyi will take that step, and Yang Ming will also take that step within five years. Raise your own power to the limit within.

Living in this world, you can never see the truth of this world. Only by going out can you truly understand this world. In officialdom and on the battlefield, Yang Ming has almost reached the extreme, and he has no knowledge of higher things. ?

This is a paradoxical world. It is actually far different from the Qin Kingdom in Yang Ming's memory. They are not even two similar flowers. Yang Ming's sense of mission is naturally not very deep. So I really have no interest in anything with a higher level of power.

Yang Ming wants to practice Taoism now.

"Actually, I still think your policy strategy in Yan is very good, and it is also the most suitable for the Qin State. Especially after the Qin State destroyed the Six Kingdoms, force can destroy the courts of the Six Kingdoms, but it is not enough to conquer the hearts of the people. , we can use force and Qin law to make the people of the Six Kingdoms do something, but we dare not do anything, but we cannot control what they think. If we cannot conquer the hearts of the people, in a powerful country, it is just a false shell. , It looks bright and beautiful when the weather is good, but once it encounters any violent storm, it is easily destroyed." Xiong Qi said.

Anyone who wants to leave their name in the history books is already thinking about these things. In the court of Qin State, there are also many people who are speculating on the future direction of Qin State. It's just that some people are like this They do it so that they can better stand on the side of Qin Wangzheng and then become prosperous, while some people do it purely to make Qin a better country.

"It's useless to talk about this now. There is only one thing I have to do now." Yang Ming interrupted what Xiong Qi wanted to say.

"Huh?" Xiong Qi said in surprise.

"Study the changes in heaven and earth, and understand the way to immortality." Yang Ming said inscrutably. The lofty and ethereal momentum displayed at that moment reminded Xiong Qi of when he met the head of the Taoist Tianzong when he was a child. a feeling of.

"Yes, your path is not just in the court." Xiong Qi said to himself. At this moment, he suddenly remembered that Yang Ming was not only the Zuo Prime Minister of Qin, but also the strongest in the world. One of the great masters, Chaotang, only occupies a part of Yang Ming's life, and whether this part is big or small is uncertain.

The two chatted, and soon a low-key yet imposing mansion appeared in front of Yang Ming. It was Xiong Qi's mansion.

The two of them turned around the front yard and saw a slender figure walking out of the backyard. It was Xiong Qi's only daughter Mi Lian.

The light blue dress on her body made her look like a green lotus. Her slender figure looked frail, but she had her own tenacity.

"Lian'er has met her adoptive father." With steps that were brisk but still polite, Mi Lian walked up to Yang Ming and greeted him with a smile.

"You've grown so big after not seeing each other for several years?" Yang Ming patted Mi Lian's head. A woman of Mi Lian's age would have grown the fastest. Yang Ming had been away for more than three years and was shocked when he saw her again. Jumping up is a completely normal thing.

"Is my adoptive father reminding me of something?" Mi Lian said with a smile.

"What did I remind you of?" Yang Ming asked curiously.

"My adoptive father has ignored me for several years." Mi Lian said even more angry. In this matter, Yang Ming was the one who was wrong no matter what, but it seemed to be understandable. Original.

"Really?" Yang Ming pretended to be confused. Yang Ming was better at dealing with women, not girls. Besides, Mi Lian had her parents by her side, so it was not Yang Ming's turn to care.

"Father, look at me, can't you see the answer?" Mi Lian walked up to Yang Ming and raised her little face. For a moment, Yang Ming could only see a solemn expression, and could not see anything at all. There is no component of sunset.

"What did the adoptive father see?" Mi Lian asked with a sullen face.

"What did you see? Of course it's Mi Lian." Yang Ming also said solemnly.

"No, no, it's serious, serious." Mi Lian corrected. She would not let Yang Ming get away with it so easily. Now was the time to make various demands while Yang Ming was in the wrong. Missed Given this opportunity, I don’t know when I’ll have to wait until next time.

"You're a kid, there's nothing serious about it. Can you be serious at your age?" Yang Ming sneered.

Before Mi Lian could protest, Yang Ming had already stretched out his hand and turned his serious face into a grimace. With such little thought, could Yang Ming still be fooled?

Amid Mi Lian's grief and anger, Xiong Qi could no longer stand it. His good daughter would always be misled by Yang Ming.

Yang Ming stayed in Xiong Qi's Mansion for a long time and did not leave until the evening. However, compared to when he came, when he left, Yang Ming had already brought Mi Liandao, the only local product of Changping Jun's Mansion.

"It's better to live here with my adoptive father." Seeing the lively Yang family, and thinking about her parents who always treated each other with respect, Mi Lian didn't know which way of getting along was better for a while, but if she could choose, Mi Lian would prefer it. The atmosphere in the Yang family is at least really relaxing.

"If your father hears what you said, you have to be careful." Yang Ming stretched his muscles and was already thinking about nightlife.

"I'm not afraid. My father never beats me. Of course, this is also because I am very good." Mi Lian said.

Before Yang Ming could say anything, a voice came from outside the door: "I know you can't control your nature, so you are still bullying men and dominating women? Where did you snatch this little girl from?"

"Who is this?" Hearing the voice coming from outside the door, Mi Lian thought in surprise that this voice was young, but it didn't even feel familiar to her.

"Xiao Meng, your skin is itchy again, isn't it?" Yang Ming frowned as Xiao Meng heard his voice before seeing him.

This little guy seems to be extremely insecure and likes to show his presence the most, even if this method is very childish and even thorny. This is her sensitive and stupid mind. Yang Ming thought.

"So what if my skin is itchy?" Xiao Meng opened the door and stared at Yang Ming, but showed no sign of weakness.

"Just give him a good beating." Yang Ming spread his hands and said.
