Qin Dynasty: Sword Asks the Bright Moon

The first day of September in the fourth year of the Qin Dynasty is auspicious and good for moving.

After the marriage date between Qin Wangzheng and the Chu princess was officially agreed upon, Zhao Ji left Xianyang Palace on the first day of September and moved into Ganquan Palace.

This palace, which had been deserted twenty years ago, has once again regained its former splendor and popularity.

Just for all kinds of palace maids, Zhao Ji brought 500 people from Xianyang Palace, including cooks, musicians, dancers... Although they did not include 360 ​​lines, there were still 100 lines. of.

At this time, Yang Ming, the captain of the Ganquan Palace, has become truly worthy of his title. There are countless various matters, large and small, in the meantime. Fortunately, Wei Wei has this person during the period of Empress Dowager Xuan. The current No. 1 General of the Ganquan Palace Guards, who serves as the captain of Ganquan Palace, is assisting him, so Yang Ming is still qualified.

At least in the three days since Zhao Ji moved to Ganquan Palace, Yang Ming and his guards have not made any mistakes.

Although the years in Ganquan Palace were peaceful, the Prime Minister's Mansion in Xianyang City received a piece of information that caused quite a shock.

"All Luo Wang's intelligence network in Daliang has been destroyed, 80% of the killers are dead, Black and White Xuanjian's life and death are unknown, and 40% of Luo Wang's branches in the entire Wei State have been destroyed." Lu Buwei, who took back control of Luo Wang from Lu Qi, looked at his hands Luo Wen's brows were already knitted together by the information coming from Wei State.

"Father, Zhanri was previously in charge of the Wei State's snare affairs. His death temporarily caused the Wei State's snares to lose their unified command, which is why the current predicament arose." Lu Qi, who was accompanying him, said.

Although Lu Buwei was extremely disappointed with Lu Qi because of Lao Ai's incident, and even removed Lu Qi's control over Luo Wang, as Lu Qi's eldest son, Lu Buwei still did not completely give up on cultivating Lu Qi, but took him with him. By his side, Lu Qi was taught by words and deeds when dealing with daily official duties.

"Are you aggrieved for Lao Ai?" Lu Buwei said calmly. Luo Wang's heavy damage to Wei State did not cause him too many mood swings.

"I don't dare. What I mean is that my father should send a person who can take charge into the trap as soon as possible to clean up the current mess." Lu Qi said.

"Bianri is the person in charge of Luowang in Wei State. The problem at hand can only be solved by Zhanri. Since the Sword of Zhanri is with the Queen Mother, we should leave this problem to her." Lu Buwei said.

"Father, you?" Lu Qi said in astonishment, and then he suddenly felt that he was taller than his father.

Empress Dowager Zhao asked for the Sun-Shielding Sword before, and her father gave it to her without saying a word. Was this the situation she was waiting for? There was no one in the Empress Dowager Zhao who could clean up the current mess. She couldn't find anyone, so she had no choice but to send the Sun Covering Sword back to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Her father was not only tall, but also tough. Even if it was the Empress Dowager Zhao, she would still be there. He bowed his head in front of his father.

Lu Qi, who thought he had seen his true thoughts, had a mysterious smile on his face.

In the afternoon, Yang Ming, who was on duty, came to the back hall of Ganquan Palace and met Empress Dowager Zhao Ji who angrily chopped down the chrysanthemum bushes in front of the palace that were used as scenery.

At this time, Zhao Ji was obviously in a bad mood, with an angry face, wearing only socks on her feet, stepping on a messy chrysanthemum bush, holding a sharp sword, her hair was messy, and her bulging chest was rising and falling violently. There was a lot of anger pressing down on the area.

The surrounding maids hid aside, obviously knowing that Zhao Ji was in extreme danger.

"Yang Ming, come here." Zhao Ji pointed at Yang Ming with the sharp sword in her hand when she saw Yang Ming changing the guard.

"Yes, Queen Mother." Seeing this, Yang Ming quickly ran towards Zhao Ji from the palace gate.

"Why is the Queen Mother so angry? It's really not worth it to be so angry that it ruins your health." Yang Ming came to the five steps in front of Zhao Ji and saluted.

"Not that old man Lu Buwei." Zhao Ji gritted her teeth.

"Lu Xiangguo, Lu Xiangguo, who came here just now, made you angry?" Yang Ming said in shock.

"Who else could be there besides that old man? Luo Sheng was severely damaged in Wei State, and someone needed to be sent to clean up the mess. Lu Buwei, the old man, said that many people in Luo Sheng did not know each other, and they always only recognized tokens, not people. Only those who can wield the Sun Covering Sword can take over Luo Wang's Wei branch." Zhao Ji, who finally found someone who could speak, said quickly.

"Lu Xiangguo offered the Sun-Shielding Sword so simply and generously before. It turned out that he dug a trap for you, the Queen Mother, in this place." Yang Ming suddenly said.

"That's not true. What is this old man trying to do? Now Luo Sheng may be destroyed at any time in the Wei Kingdom. If the Ai family holds on to the Sun-hiding Sword and refuses to return it, then the Ai family is ignorant of the general situation and is treating national affairs as a trivial matter. ." Zhao Ji said angrily.

"But if the Sun-covering Sword is sent back, where will the Ai family's face be put? They took the Sun-covering Sword back in an aggressive manner, and now they send it back in despair?" Zhao Ji stared at her eyes, and gathered all the people in front of Yang Ming. All my thoughts were expressed.

Yang Ming also fell into silence.

"Damn old man." Zhao Ji said and struck the chrysanthemum remains in front of her with her sword. However, she accidentally struck the stone slab under the chrysanthemum remains. The huge force of the shock made Zhao Ji's palms ache. She held the sword. Her grip on the handle was unsteady, and the sword actually fell from her hand.

The sharp sword blade glowed coldly in the sunlight, and it hit Zhao Ji's feet that were only wearing socks.

"Ah!" Zhao Ji exclaimed, but she was already unable to dodge, and she watched helplessly as the sword blade was about to make close and eager contact with her feet.

At the critical moment, Yang Ming stepped forward. Just when the sword was about to hit Zhao Ji's feet, he caught the blade with his hand.

Zhao Ji looked at Yang Ming who jumped in front of her. She was frightened and looked a little dazed. It wasn't until the warm liquid fell on her feet that Zhao Ji suddenly realized that in her sight, Yang Ming grabbed her The palm holding the sword blade was already dripping with blood.

"Are you okay?" Upon seeing this, Zhao Ji quickly pulled Yang Ming's arm. In her sight, Yang Ming's palm had turned blood red.

"It's nothing, as long as the Queen Mother is fine." Yang Ming said without changing his expression, showing no sign of pain, as if the blood staining Zhao Jiluo's socks did not belong to her.

"Let Aijia take a look." Zhao Ji took Yang Ming's arm, carefully took the sword, and then threw it aside, looking at Yang Ming's palm nervously.

"What a long cut." Zhao Ji, who pulled Yang Ming's hand closer, subconsciously felt a severe pain. She quickly took out a piece of silk from her sleeve and carefully wrapped it around Yang Ming's cut. on the palm of your hand.

"Why didn't you kick the sword away just now? Aren't your kicks very good?" Zhao Ji asked with a reproachful tone.

"It is too unsightly to use your feet in front of the Queen Mother, and it is disrespectful and offensive to the Queen Mother." Yang Ming looked at Zhao Ji who was close at hand and said with a slight embarrassment. This time, it seemed that he had done it since he was in Qilin. The closest Ge was to Zhao Ji after seeing her was so close that Yang Ming could even feel her warm breath hitting the skin on his neck.

"Tell the truth." Zhao Ji said with a straight face.

"Reporting to the Queen Mother, I didn't think too much about my position just now and forgot that my leg skills were pretty good." Yang Ming said seriously.

"Aren't you a little fox? Why did you suddenly become stupid?" Zhao Ji sneered, a smile appeared in her eyes unconsciously, as if she was not the one who was angry just now.

"Queen Mother, in fact, there are no other solutions to the Sun-Shielding Sword issue." Yang Ming tried.

"Let's not talk about this now. The Ai family is no longer angry." Zhao Ji waved her hands and then seemed to realize that she was too close to Yang Ming and was losing her status as the Queen Mother. She quickly wanted to take a few steps back, but forgot. At this time, she should ask Yang Ming to retreat.

However, many times, it is the unconscious actions that can better show a person's true state of mind, just like Zhao Ji at this time.

"Queen Mother, I have a way of dealing with it that can save the Queen Mother's face and make Lu Xiangguo steal the chicken but lose the rice." Yang Ming said.

"Really?" Zhao Ji asked suspiciously.

"Since Lu Xiangguo said that the Luowang people didn't know each other, so they only recognized the sword but not the sword. Now that the Sun-hiding Sword is in your hands, why don't you send someone to Wei with the Sun-hiding Sword to take over Wei's Luowang headquarters. In this way The Queen Mother does not have to return the sword, but she can also take back control of Luowang Wei's troops from Lu Xiangguo, which can be said to be the best of both worlds." Yang Ming suggested.

"Is this your way to deal with it?" The expectation in Zhao Ji's eyes has turned into disappointment. She thought Yang Ming had some brilliant idea?

"The Ai family has also thought of this strategy, but it's useless. What the people in Luo Wen do is really beyond the reach of laymen. Although Yuan Li beside the Ai family was once a first-class killer in Luo Wen, he is just a A killer who knows how to kill people is not good at things like commanding, coordinating, and making sudden changes, so the Ai family can't find a suitable person around them." Zhao Ji explained.

"Queen Mother, what do you think of me?" Yang Ming also recommended himself.

"You?" Zhao Ji looked at Yang Ming. She still had that familiar face, smiling and full of youthful vigor, but a snare?

"Do you know what situation Luo Wang is facing in Wei State now?" Zhao Ji reminded, she only thought that Yang Ming was ignorant.

"I know, in the face of Wei Guo's full strangulation, you just said that," Yang Mingdao.

"Then you still want to go? Do you know that when you go there, the enemies you face are the entire Wei State. Not to mention that if you are not careful, your life will be in danger. Even if you are careful at all times, you still dare not say that you can escape unscathed. ." Zhao Ji said.

"If this thing doesn't work out, you should stay in the Ganquan Palace of the Ai family and be your captain with peace of mind. The Ai family should send the Hidden Sun Sword back to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Isn't it just a loss of face? The Ai family just doesn't care."

"Queen Mother, please also give the Sun-Shielding Sword to Bei Shi. He is willing to go to the Wei Kingdom, even if it means nine deaths and no life." Yang Ming said firmly.

"Why?" Looking at Yang Ming with a determined look on his face, Zhao Ji asked intently.

"The Queen Mother's face is more important than the life of her humble position." Yang Ming said solemnly.

At this moment, Zhao Ji saw the presence of light in Yang Ming in a trance, which was the light that shined into her heart.
