Qin Dynasty: Sword Asks the Bright Moon

"It's so cold in your courtyard." Under the morning sunshine, the early morning chill had dissipated, but when a maid named Hongli walked into Hu Ji's courtyard, she shivered unexpectedly.

When she looked intently, she discovered that in this small courtyard that was familiar to her, there were actually many places where a thick layer of frost had condensed, reflecting the sunlight and seeming to make it feel a little colder. meaning.

"It's a bit cold, Sister Hong, what are you doing?" Hu Ji, who was packing her belongings in the room, raised her head and asked Hong Li through the open window.

"Help you pack your things. You and your master are moving out today. The eldest young master asked me to come over and see if there is anything I can do to help you." Hong Li said. She was what Hu Ji said last night. That good sister who taught her a lot, but taught her nothing in key areas.

As the eldest grandson of Meng Ao, the head of the Meng family, Meng Tian is already eighteen years old. According to the rules of this era, he is already half an adult. Therefore, Hong Li, the maid of the Meng family, was placed in Meng Tian's house. Around me, the meaning is self-evident. Such things are not uncommon in this era. Qin Wangzheng is about to marry the princess of Chu. Cheng Yu, who is more than one year younger than Qin Wangzheng, does not even have any children. Yes.

"Sister Hong, don't bother you. Master and I don't have much, just a few pieces of clothing." Hu Ji, who had already packed two packages, said.

"Just a few clothes?" Hong Li looked around the room, but his eyes inadvertently focused on two small clothes in front of another window.

"Little girl, are you going to wash your clothes this early in the morning?" Hongli asked.

"No." Hu Ji, who gradually understood what 'shyness' meant, replied.

"It's not washed? Then why do you have to dry it? Could it be that last night you..." Hong Li said with an enigmatic smile: "Did you succeed?"

"What's the success?" Hu Ji said blankly.

"These are the things I told you before. Have you tried it on your master?" Hong Li said with a gossipy look.

"I tried." Hu Ji replied. Although she already knew what shyness was, her shyness was limited. After all, some concepts cannot be completely overturned in a short time.

"How is the situation?" Hong Li asked. She has not succeeded yet. If she can get some surprises from Hu Ji, it can be regarded as learning from each other.

"I don't know either." Hu Ji said blankly.

"How could you not know? You tell me about the situation at that time, and I will help you with the details." Red Li said eagerly.

"I followed the method you said, Sister Hong, and helped the master press his shoulders. I also took off my clothes and got into the bathtub to help the master wipe his body." Hu Ji recalled.

"Then what?" Red Carp asked.

"What happened after that?" Hu Ji recalled: "The master seemed to like it very much, at least he didn't kick me out."

When Hu Ji said this, she glanced at Hong Li. Sure enough, there was a hint of blackness in Hong Li's expression.

"How can you tell?" Red Carp asked.

"Master, he hugged me." Hu Ji said.

"Then what?"

"He even kissed me," Hu Ji recalled.

"where?"

"Here, here, and here." Hu Ji pointed her finger at her forehead, and then pointed at her ears, slowly sliding over her face, lips, and neck, and then sliding down along the lines of her neck.

"You?" Hong Li looked at Hu Ji's dress that was deeply inserted into the soft flesh, and for a moment he felt envious.

"It seemed like it was bitten. It hurt a little at the time, but the feeling didn't seem to be painful. It was very strange anyway and made people feel dizzy." Hu Ji recalled.

Still bitten? Three simple words, but Hong Li thought of many pictures. Is this little bearded girl so powerful?

"What happens next?" Hong Li asked. She felt that she should be able to learn something from Hu Ji. After all, a master is a teacher.

"Then? Then nothing happened. Sister Hong, you didn't tell me what happened next, so I don't know. Then the water got a little cold. Master put on his clothes and went to practice martial arts." When Hu Ji said this, she only felt two His cheeks felt slightly warm, and then he seemed to have made a fool of himself.

But, I didn’t want to either. Obviously nothing like that has happened since I was four years old. Master, he shouldn’t have noticed, right? Hu Ji couldn't help but feel in a trance as she thought about it.

"Alas." A sigh came, and Hong Li felt that it was very difficult for his maid to advance to concubine.

"Forget it, I'd better help you pack your things." Hong Li said without interest. It turned out that it wasn't that Hu Ji was too powerful, it was just that the people they served were different.

When Hu Ji was packing up her belongings and preparing to move out of Meng's house, Yang Ming had already arrived at Ganquan Palace and took over his real job.

Wei Wei was worthy of being the Colonel of Ganquan Palace during the period of Empress Dowager Xuan. Even if Yang Ming was away, the official duties of the Colonel of Ganquan Palace were still familiar to him. He knew all the important places and secret places of Ganquan Palace very well, and he also knew the subordinates under his command. The training and scheduling of the six hundred soldiers were flawless. Having such a person under his command could save Yang Ming a lot of time.

However, when Yang Ming came to the watchtower where the captain of Ganquan Palace handled official duties, Wei Wei still moved out a large pile of bamboo slips.

"These are my investigations of the 600 imperial guards over the past few days. It contains their names, place of origin, martial arts, abilities, temperament, family and other aspects." Wei Yu pointed to the bamboo slips piled up like a hill. road.

"With someone like you helping me, I can't rest assured." Yang Ming picked up a volume and read it.

"I thought you would think there are too many of these things and they are useless." Wei Wei said unexpectedly.

It is not a simple matter to keep the information of 600 people in mind. It requires a lot of energy, and spending so much energy just to understand the information of 600 guards is something that some officials cannot do. In the eyes of people, this is not a wise thing to do. After all, officials are very particular about employing people. If you have to do everything yourself, then you will not be exhausted.

Especially young people like Yang Ming who are in high positions are the most impatient. It is even more difficult for such people to do something that takes a long time and does not see any value in a short time.

But Yang Ming looked at it without hesitation, which somewhat surprised Wei Wei.

"If there were information for six thousand people here, I would reject it directly, but there are only six hundred people, so it doesn't matter." Yang Mingdao.

"Besides, whether I can go further in the future may depend on these 600 people." Yang Ming said meaningfully.

The position of Captain Ganquan Palace is important. It can be said to be a humble and powerful position, but there is no such thing as taking advantage of all the good things in the world. This position also has flaws, that is, it is extremely difficult to be promoted through meritorious service.

If Yang Ming wants to truly have his own power in the Qin State, it is not enough to just rely on Zhao Ji's protection. In the entire Qin State, military merit is the most important, and if Yang Ming wants to get what he wants, military merit must be obtained. s things.

But although the captain of Ganquan Palace is called a captain, it is extremely difficult to obtain military merit. After all, as a guard of the Queen Mother, can't he go into battle and fight?

And if the guards of Ganquan Palace really need to go into battle, the enemy will often attack at the doorstep. If that happens, Yang Ming may have to consider whether the Qin army's military exploits are still valuable.

But Yang Ming was not without a chance. In his memory, during the sixth year of the Qin Dynasty, the five countries jointly attacked Qin. The allied forces directly bypassed the main force of the Qin army and attacked the most powerful city, which was less than a hundred miles away from Xianyang. The city, to a certain extent, really hit the doorstep of the house. The guards Yang Ming used to look after the house really needed to look after the house at that time.

At that time, the opportunity came for Yang Ming.

But before that, we still need to train the 600 people under our command into a truly strong army. After all, to forge iron, you need to be strong. If you are not strong enough, you will not be able to seize the opportunity even if it is presented in front of you.

In one morning, Yang Ming dealt with the bamboo slips. When noon was approaching, as usual, Yang Ming needed to enter the inner palace to patrol. When Yang Ming came to the inner palace, he happened to see Zhao Ji.

At this time, Zhao Ji was lying on the soft couch that had been moved to the corridor in front of the palace. When Yang Ming saw Zhao Ji, Zhao Ji obviously also saw Yang Ming. Zhao Ji, who was not in a good mood, directly asked the palace maid next to her. He called Yang Ming to him.

Only then did Yang Ming see that Zhao Ji looked gloomy, her eyes were a little black, and she could even see some bloodshot eyes.

"Queen Mother, have you had a good rest?" Yang Ming asked.

"It's not your fault." Zhao Ji looked sideways at Yang Ming, her words filled with resentment.

"This?" Yang Ming couldn't answer this.

Zhao Ji looked at the bewildered Yang Ming and immediately noticed her gaffe. Thinking of what happened last night, a faint blush appeared on her cheeks, and she felt a little guilty for a moment.

After all, she is the Queen Mother, and she still needs to have the majesty of the Queen Mother, but the dream last night?

Damn it, it’s all because Yuan Li told it too clearly. Even if the Ai family wanted to expel such scenes from their memories, they couldn’t. Things that were once suppressed because of their identity had a tendency to go out of control.

Ganquan Palace is large and gorgeous, but it is precisely because of this that it is easier for a person to notice his loneliness when he lives here.

"Forget it, forget it." Zhao Ji waved her hands in disinterest. There are some things that others cannot know, "That beauty killer in your family is still waiting for you, so don't say that the Ai family is unkind."

"Thank you, Queen Mother." Yang Ming said sincerely.

Looking at Yang Ming who left happily, Zhao Ji's eyes showed a hint of sadness. In Yang Ming and Jing Salamander, Zhao Ji saw what she was about to lose. Time had worn away too much of her belongings. Zhao Ji's mark, she is now the Queen Mother.
