Qin Dynasty: Sword Asks the Bright Moon

"Outside the game?" Lu Qi looked at Lao Ai with a murderous look on his face and couldn't react for a moment. Is this his friend?

"Yes, tomorrow's martial arts competition is imminent. It is impossible to improve my martial arts. The only thing I can do is to weaken Yang Ming's strength, so that I can be sure of victory." Lao Ai said.

"You want to use the power of the net to assassinate Yang Ming and injure him?" Lu Qi had already reacted: "No, I have other plans for Yang Ming, so I can't offend him."

"Brother Lu, must he have forgotten that I am also caught in the net? How could I not know the 'strange goods' that Brother Lu is interested in? By doing this, I actually kill two birds with one stone. It will not only allow me to get the position of captain of Ganquan Palace, but also Let Brother Lu take Yang Ming under his command." Lao Ai said as if I had calculated everything.

"How do you say this?" Lu Qi asked.

"Brother Lu, if I become the captain of Ganquan Palace, what else can Yang Ming do? He is very strong in martial arts. Judging from his previous behavior, he seems to be cautious, but in fact he is arrogant. Such an extremely confident person "Human, after his failure, he must have been frustrated. He also lost his position as captain of Ganquan Palace, which can be said to be a real low point in his life. At this time, Brother Lu took action to win over him. How can he not be grateful for Brother Lu's favor?" Lao Ai stated.

"It is difficult to win over a young man who is full of energy, but it is very simple to win over a young man who is frustrated." Lao Ai said bewilderedly.

In Xianyang, it is still taboo to use a snare killer to assassinate people with official positions, even if it is just to stab the person instead of actually killing the person. If it weren't for Lu Qi, the eldest son of the Prime Minister, With his approval, Lao Ai really didn't dare to act rashly.

"Are you sure?" Lu Qi muttered, he was already shaken.

"Of course there is. Brother Lu, has he forgotten the story of the Prime Minister in the capital of Zhao? If the late king had not been a hostage in the capital of Zhao, forgotten by the Qin State, and bullied by the Zhao people, how would the Prime Minister's actions have been remembered by the late king? I will never forget the kindness of Lord Xiangguo throughout my life."

Lao Ai, who knew that Lu Qi had always followed his father Lu Buwei as a role model and imitated his father Lu Buwei in everything, knew how to persuade Lu Qi.

"Okay, I'll leave it to you on this matter." Lu Qi nodded.

"It's done, Prime Minister Lu has some rare things to live in. How can I, Lao Ai, let you be more beautiful than me? I'm going to get my 'exotic things' too." Seeing Lu Qi's promise, Lao Ai couldn't help but smile.

While the conspiracy was brewing, Yang Ming had returned home. Hu Ji, whose cooking skills had improved a lot recently, was roasting mutton. This weather was most suitable for eating such food.

Smelling the aroma filling his nostrils, Yang Ming became even hungrier.

On the side, Yingge, who was wearing single clothes, was sitting next to Yang Ming, gently shaking his cattail leaf fan. At this time of year, the mosquitoes had not completely disappeared, which was extremely annoying.

Soon, with the scimitar flying up and down in Hu Ji's hand, a plate of fragrant barbecue was placed in front of Yang Ming.

Yang Ming picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks and put it directly into Hu Ji's mouth in anticipation: "Here, I'll reward you with this piece."

Hu Ji, who had her mouth full, hesitated and covered her mouth, her eyes already narrowed in comfort.

"This second piece..." Yang Ming picked up the second piece of meat and looked at Ying Ge.

In Yingge's expectation, Yang Ming stuffed the meat directly into his mouth: "Of course it is for your master. Today your master defeated all the heroes of the Qin State in Ganquan Palace. The so-called heroic appearance , nothing better than this.”

"Master has always been the most powerful." Hu Ji muttered, chewing the food in her mouth with difficulty.

"Yes, the master is the most powerful." Yingge, who had been teased by Yang Ming, did not show the slightest hint of embarrassment, but complimented with a smile.

"You two have to work hard, otherwise when I, your master, become rich, I will have to change my maid." Yang Ming joked.

"Isn't it true that the master wants to give up after all?" Ying Ge said with Yang Ming's sad eyes.

"Begin with chaos and end with abandonment? This word is wrong." Yang Ming said.

"Wrong? No, I just saw this word today, that's what it means." Hu Ji said confused.

In the past few months, Youying Ge taught her Qin language and writing on a daily basis. Now she is no longer like before, and she has to spend a long time in her mind to switch between the two languages ​​​​when chatting.

"Hu Ji, please stop talking nonsense." Facing Yang Ming's teasing eyes, Yingge quickly stopped Hu Ji and said.

Hu Ji couldn't hear the joking in Yang Ming's words, but she could tell that if Hu Ji continued to cooperate with Yang Ming as his master in such a daze, Ying Ge was sure that she would be the one who got hurt in the end.

This is the result of countless painful lessons learned over the past few months.

"I didn't." Hu Ji said innocently.

"It smells so good. It seems we came at the right time." At this time, two people came uninvited.

"Miss Liwu." Yingge saw the person coming and quickly stood up to greet him.

"Sister Yingge, we haven't seen each other for half a month." Li Wu took Yingge's hand and said with a smile.

"Exactly half a month." Ying Ge replied.

"Miss Yu'er is here too." Yang Ming looked at the two masters and servants who came uninvited, and finally focused on Yu'er beside Li Wu.

In the past few months, Yang Ming and Li Wu seemed to have really become good friends. After all, no man could refuse the enthusiasm of a beautiful woman, not to mention, beside Li Wu, there was someone who made Yang Ming feel... A very special fish girl.

"Yang Ming." Yu'er responded, her voice was very soft, and there was a kind of coldness in it, but that kind of cooling was not the kind of cold in winter, but like the coolness in the hot summer, giving people a refreshing feeling.

When Li Wu saw this scene, she couldn't help but have strange emotions on her face. In the past few months, she had been in contact with Yang Ming a lot. After all, she was tasked with setting up a trap, so she couldn't be more enthusiastic. There's nothing wrong with that.

But every time they came into contact, Li Wu found that Yang Ming paid more attention to her 'maid'. Thinking of this, Li Wu didn't know how to describe her mood.

Jealous? Of course there is no such thing. Li Wu knows her identity very well. Moreover, her biggest pursuit is to leave Jinghua Garden, leave the net, and take shelter by Yang Ming's side as a concubine. Jealousy is not a matter of course. It's not her turn. At most, she just has a little doubt about her own charm.

Besides, she didn't dare. Although she didn't know why Yang Ming was interested in Yu'er, who had an average appearance except for his slim figure, she didn't dare to question it. Yang Ming was the person she needed to win over, and Yu Er is the one who scares her.

However, there was a big doubt in Li Wu's heart, why Yang Ming fell in love with a fish, and this fish was fake.

"Have you heard a lot about the Ganquan Palace martial arts competition today? Congratulations, Yang Ming, for winning more than 20 games in a row." Li Wu did not regard herself as an outsider at all, and pulled over an empty bench next to her. Sat down.

"It's hard to say what will happen tomorrow. If the remaining three are not protected, there will be experts who are difficult to deal with." Yang Ming said.

"But Yang Ming, you are also a great master." Li Wu said, flaunting his charm.

"In this world, I don't know how many Li Wu masters you mentioned will die in a year." Yang Ming sneered.

"It's not fun to say this, it's too unlucky." Li Wu took the chopsticks handed over by Hu Ji and started eating. Her proficiency showed that this was not the first time she had done this kind of thing.

"But speaking of this master, your opponent tomorrow does have a master." Li Wu said.

"Lao Ai?" Yang Ming directly reported the name of the person.

"You also know?" Li Wu said in astonishment.

"I don't know how high his martial arts is, but I know that he is definitely not ordinary."

The name Lao Ai is really too famous. In the power structure of Qin State in the next five years, this person will be a dominant presence.

"Yes, as far as I know, twenty years ago, he was a very powerful young swordsman in the Zhao capital. Now that twenty years have passed, no one knows what level his strength has reached, but it must be different. Fanxiang should be your biggest enemy tomorrow." Li Wu stated.

"It's indeed troublesome, but there's no need to talk about such things now. We have delicious food ahead of us, so we can't let it down." Yang Ming, who didn't want to say more, moved his chopsticks and said.

"That's true. Miss Hu Ji's barbecue skills are indeed outstanding. Next time, I will bring a fish. I think the fish can also be grilled." Li Wu said.

"Didn't you already bring a fish with you?" Yang Ming said.

"Huh? Fish?" When Li Wu heard this, he was slightly startled, and then he wanted to laugh, but when a cold and faint gaze passed across, Li Wu, who had received professional training, froze in time.

In the story told by Yang Ming, time passed so quickly, it seemed that it was just a blink of an eye. The crescent moon in early August was already hanging high in the night.

"I still haven't finished listening to it today. I have to wait until next time." Yang Ming walked from the small study room separated from the living room. Li Wu, who had never heard the ending, stood up regretfully. It was time to leave, otherwise he would not be able to make it before the curfew. Back to Jinghua Garden.

"I'll see you off." Yang Ming also stood up.

"No need to bother with this, right? Is it possible that someone could kidnap me on the way?" Li Wu refused.

"That's not certain." Yang Ming had already walked out of the room before Li Wu continued to refuse.

"Okay, I understand." Li Wu looked at Yang Ming's back and understood in an instant that the gift to himself was a lie, but the gift of fish was probably the real thing.

Seniors are indeed seniors, I can’t learn this method.

Li Wu, who knew that it was impossible for Luo Yu to drop a first-class killer on Yang Ming, would not think too much about it. She would only find it interesting.

Under the night, Yu'er drove a carriage with Yang Ming sitting next to her. Yu'er had long been accustomed to this, and although Yang Ming often appeared in front of her, he never ran out of things to say. When she didn't want to speak, Yang Ming would stay silent with her, but in the silence, she could really feel Yang Ming's presence.

Yu'er has always felt strange about this feeling, but couldn't explain why.

It's just not annoying.
