Qin Dynasty: Sword Asks the Bright Moon

Hu Ji, who had her head lowered, raised her head and looked at Yang Ming with her golden and blue eyes. Yang Ming could even see his own reflection in them.

What is she expecting? Yang Ming thought about it and said, "Well, it was Zi Nu who told me, but I didn't know that Hu Ji, you are only fourteen years old."

Yang Ming felt a little ashamed when he thought of this. Because of the letter left by Zi Nu and other reasons, every time he saw Hu Ji sleeping in the cubicle in the early morning, Yang Ming had a tendency to make a move. Yang Ming was a little lucky at the moment. Fortunately, he There is still a bit of reserve, otherwise...

In the past half month, Hu Ji was not even fourteen years old. Thinking of this, Yang Ming quickly interrupted his thoughts and could not think about it any more. If he thought about it any more, there would be a real crisis of 'annihilation'. Today's 'Tiandao' has very strict supervision.

"Mistress?" Hu Ji, whose reaction was still a little slower, said in a daze.

Zi Nu, to her, is the real big devil. Although Yang Ming is more terrifying, he has never paid much attention to her. Hu Ji doesn't have any more feelings, but Zi Nu...

Hu Ji felt shuddering when she thought of the various cruel methods and coercion that Zi Nu used in her ears.

Everything that happened in Hengshan was like a dream to Hu Ji.

She is from Loufanhu, and her ancestors have lived on the land that is now the northern border of Zhao State for generations. However, decades ago, a talented and strategic hero appeared in Zhao State: Zhao Yong, King Wuling of Zhao.

Zhao Yong promoted Hufu cavalry and archery in the State of Zhao, changed customs, reformed the military system, and created the first powerful force in the world at that time, the Qingqi of the State of Zhao. With this powerful force, the State of Zhao destroyed Zhongshan, defeated the State of Yan, and then even more Based on Taiyuan County, we followed the march route taken by Zhao Wuxie, the ancestor of the Zhao State, when he destroyed the Dai State, and swept through the land of barbarians thousands of miles north of Hengshan Mountain and south of Yinshan Mountain.

The Loufan Hu people and the Lin Zhong Hu people who once lived here either died under the sword, or became slaves of Zhao State, or fled into the grasslands north of Yinshan Mountain and joined the Wolf Clan, and finally and least Part of them retreated into Hengshan Mountain. Relying on the danger of Hengshan Mountain, they were able to survive in the deep mountains.

Hu Ji had no feelings for the State of Zhao. When she was young, her grandfather told her that the fight between the Hu people and the State of Zhao was all about survival, and it had nothing to do with good or bad. When the Hu people had strength, they fought for survival. It would be better to invade Zhao State and plunder everything that can be plundered. If Zhao State becomes stronger, it can also invade their home and seize everything they have.

This is just the law of survival in the world. Their misfortune is not because of Zhao State, but because they are not strong enough.

Hu Ji's grandfather instilled in her a concept since she was a child: strength is everything.

One day after she grew up, a wolf tribe member from the grassland suddenly appeared in Hengshan Mountain. He said that the wolf tribe would go south to help them seize the land that the Zhao people occupied from their ancestors.

For a time, the barbarians in the entire Hengshan Mountain became restless, and one by one they regarded the wolf tribesman as an honored guest and the savior sent by God to them.

He is Touman, who claims to be the son of the Great Chanyu of the Wolf Clan. Under the orders of the Great Chanyu of the Wolf Clan, he unites with the barbarians in Hengshan to counterattack the Zhao people.

Hu Ji once thought so, because Tou Man had the most important power of the belief that her grandfather had instilled in her since she was a child.

At that time, she once regarded Touman as the most powerful person, and like the tribesmen in the village, she swore allegiance to Touman.

For this reason, they formed a coalition to attack the caravans that crossed Hengshan Mountain from the hinterland of Zhao State and entered the northern border of Zhao State. They did succeed at first.

But just as they celebrated their success with singing, dancing and banquets, nightmares followed.

The most powerful groups of bandits in Hengshan actually jointly attacked the mountain stronghold. They were killed and defeated before they could even call their friends.

Touman even changed from a wolf from the north to a running dog. But at that time, she had already followed her grandfather's instructions and became Touman's guard, because her grandfather told her that if they wanted to live, they would have to live. To be better, you must rely on more powerful power, and Touman and the wolf tribe behind him have such power.

It was also at that time that she saw a more powerful force. Whenever she thought of the scene when she was slapped down by a palm, Hu Ji felt a trembling and throbbing feeling.

She was trembling because she still knew fear, and her throbbing was because she saw a more powerful force.

From that day on, the savior whom the barbarians thought was the savior fled back to the grassland in embarrassment, and they were either killed by swords or became prisoners.

It was at that time that a woman appeared in front of her and took her into Heifeng Village. She forced her to take a bath every day. Even though it was still the cold weather of late winter, she also forced her to learn her own skills. Zhao Yu, who was barely able to speak, forced her to learn all kinds of things that she thought were completely useless.

For a Hu woman, this is the greatest torture.

When the woman returned to Heifeng Village again, she took her with her and told her before leaving to take care of the man who caught her. For this reason, she even threatened you: I don't want you either. Those tribesmen...

For such a thing, in fact, the woman does not have to threaten her. According to the Hu people's ideas, a woman caught like her is a trophy. No matter how the other party deals with her, as long as she does not commit suicide, then It means she chose to accept it.

Hu Ji, who had countless memories triggered by Yang Ming's words, looked at Yang Ming blankly, but Yang Ming didn't know what she was thinking, let alone that Zi Nu was such a terrifying image in Hu Ji's mind. .

"I don't know the birthday customs of the Hu people. However, since you have come to Qin, of course you have to follow Qin's customs. Yingge, in Qin, are there any conventions for celebrating birthdays? Are you used to it?" Yang Ming asked Xiang Yingge.

"I don't know about this. My previous activities were usually in the Three Jin Dynasties, but this is my first time here in Qin State." Yingge also said in confusion.

Hu Ji is only fourteen years old? Thinking of this, Yingge subconsciously crossed her arms across her chest: Does this look like she is fourteen years old?

"Then you have to follow my rules, Yingge. After dinner, you take Hu Ji out for a walk and maybe buy some gifts." Yang Ming said.

"Yes." Yingge nodded.

Fourteen? Hey, no? Don't be ridiculous!

Zhao Ji was still a resolute person. When Yang Ming came to Ganquan Palace the next day, Zhao Ji had already sent the servant of Xianyang Palace to deliver the official office of the captain of Ganquan Palace and the appointment document.

After all, only Wei Wei and Yang Ming knew what happened in front of Qilin Pavilion yesterday, but when the chamberlain read out the appointment document in front of all the guards, it caused quite a stir.

How long has Yang Mingcai been in Ganquan Palace? How come he became the Colonel of Ganquan Palace? What happened? For a time, countless doubts plagued the minds of the guards.

Fortunately, those who can serve as guards in Ganquan Palace are all the best among their peers. Although they have doubts and confusions, they can still distinguish the important from the important, at least they will not show too much emotion on the surface. .

Wei Wei accompanied Yang Ming to see off the chamberlain and said to Yang Ming: "Congratulations, Lord Captain. You must remember that you still owe me three taels of gold."

"Why do you need me to return the gift you gave me?" Yang Ming squinted at Wei He and asked.

When sending off the chamberlain just now, Wei Wei gave some small gifts on Yang Ming's behalf. This was an unwritten rule.

"Who am I giving that gift to?" Wei Wei choked back. At this time, he was already regretting it. Did he misjudge the person?

"How can you remember such little things so clearly?" Yang Ming said nonchalantly.

"Go to Jinghua Garden to celebrate tonight?" Wei Wei suggested.

"You went there to have a crush, what would I do if I went there? I won't go." Yang Ming shook his head and refused.

"You really don't want to go? Don't you have a oiran friend there?" Wei Wei said. Now he still remembers Li Wu helping Yang Ming pay the bill. If the relationship wasn't good enough, how could such a thing happen?

"Oiran friend, you mean Li Wu? Her? Let's call them friends." Yang Ming pondered, but the figure that appeared in his mind was not Li Wu's figure, but a pair of eyes.

"You're too pretentious. Now you have an official status. What's more important is that you have caught the eye of Queen Mother Zhao. You have a limitless future. If Miss Li Wu is really interested in you, you will I can catch it." Wei Wei said.

"Then let's go to Jinghua Garden tonight." Yang Ming responded.

It would be a good idea to go and see the maid. Although Li Wu had a lot of troubles, he thought he could handle the troubles caused by one maid.

In Xianyang Palace, in the West Palace, Zhao Ji, who was dressed in light clothes, listened with piercing eyes to the report from the chamberlain who had returned from Ganquan Palace.

"He also gave you money? Is this a way of doing things that a stupid man knows?" Zhao Ji asked curiously when she heard about the servant receiving gifts.

"This was given by Wei Wei, but Wei Wei said it was given on behalf of Captain Yang," the chamberlain replied.

"It makes sense to say this. Wei Yu is an old man." Zhao Ji pondered, showing a look of understanding.

However, at that moment, Zhao Ji's expression changed as she suddenly thought of something: No, the Ai family was planning for the two of them to fight among themselves. In this situation, no matter how it looked like Wei Wei was helping Yang Ming. Boy, doesn't this mean...

Thinking of this, dark emotions appeared on Zhao Ji's face: Could it be that the Ai family was deceived again?

No, according to normal circumstances, they should have started fighting by now. Is Wei Wei really willing to do so? Can Yang Ming really make Wei Wei, his former boss, listen to him?

In her imagination, Yang Ming, a young man, was definitely no match for an old fox like Wei Wei. Yang Ming would be in a terrible state in Ganquan Palace. Then she would help Yang Ming conquer Wei Wei and let Wei Wei assist Yang Ming. Really secure the position of captain of Ganquan Palace.

In this case, Yang Ming is still not grateful to Zhao Ji.

Especially since the Ai family will move to Ganquan Palace this year, the post of Ganquan Palace Imperial Guard Colonel will become the Ganquan Palace Lieutenant. The importance of his position cannot be compared with that of even ten Ganquan Palace Colonels. Instead of letting those people They are struggling to arrange their own people, why can't the Aijia train their own people to fill this position?

Moreover, Yang Ming has such martial arts skills at a young age and does not seem to have too many connections behind his back. The use of such a person also puts the Ai family at ease.

Of course, there is another point. If Yang Ming is left in Ganquan Palace, there will be many opportunities to train such a little tiger in the future.

Zhao Ji's plan is very good, but the current situation seems to be somewhat different from what she imagined. The friendship between Wei Yu and Yang Ming seems to be unusual.

For a time, countless guesses emerged in Zhao Ji's mind, but among these guesses, none of them satisfied her.

"Yang Ming, Wei Wei, we should check it out carefully." Zhao Ji muttered, and her thoughts that were once about having fun have become a little more serious.

It's about the Ai family's face, so we have to take it seriously. If the Ai family is really fooled... Zhao Ji thought, her phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, already showing a bit of murderous intent.
