Qin Dynasty: Sword Asks the Bright Moon

Shouchun, Ling Yin's Mansion, and Li Yuan entertained the envoys from the Qin Army in a private name, and redeemed the Tenglong Army with money and goods. After all, it was not very good-looking, so Shouchun everyone treated this matter, although On the one hand, they tried their best to promote it, but on the other hand, they tried their best to deal with it in a low-key manner and minimize its subsequent negative effects as much as possible.

Among these envoys, another person quietly left Ling Yin's mansion and entered the Chu Palace under the leadership of Li Yuan's confidant maid.

"There are people like you among the Qin army?" In the Chu Palace, Queen Mother Li looked at Li Wu in front of her with a look of surprise. Among the wolves and tigers of the Qin army, there was someone like Li Wu. The beauty? Those are two worlds that don't mix.

"I am not a member of the army, but a person who works in the net. I belong to the captain of the Qin State Guard Army." Li Wu, who had other tasks, also looked at Empress Dowager Li and said, she was looking at the end of Empress Dowager Li. Is there anything worthy of Yang Ming's attention?

pretty? identity? There are others...

In Li Wu's sight, the image of Queen Mother Li gradually appeared. In a place like the Chu Palace, to be able to become the Queen Mother, in addition to luck, one's own strength was also extraordinary.

"Captain of the Qin Guard Army? Yang Ming?" Empress Dowager Li whispered. The name Yang Ming has become quite famous in Shouchun recently. The former Yang Ming was just a name in rumors. How the two countries Zhao and Wei were invincible is still someone else's story for Chu. Although they know it, they have no personal experience, but it is different now.

This battle between Qin and Chu in the tenth year of the Qin Dynasty made the Chu State really empathize with what happened to Zhao and Wei. Although the Qin army and the Chu army did not break out in a true sense, there was a Pengcheng and a Tenglong. The army has already made everyone in the Chu Kingdom feel the pain of having their hands broken.

The Qin army only tried their skills in a small way, but the Chu army had to give up its initial combat strategy and had to abandon the important land of Suiyang, causing the Chu state to face the worst situation imagined before the war.

"What did he ask you to do?" Queen Mother Li put away her thoughts and asked Li Wu. She couldn't care about other things now.

During this period of time, there were many letters exchanged between Empress Dowager Li and Yang Ming surrounding the affairs of the Tenglong Legion. She also had a preliminary understanding of Yang Ming, a Qin general whom she had never met before. After all, words are important to a certain extent. It is also a portrait of a person. Although it may not be reliable, it is also a good reference.

"Meet Queen Mother Li, nothing else." Li Wu said.

"That's it?" Queen Mother Li asked in surprise, what kind of reason is this? Do you have to send a confidant like Li Wu for such a reason that is not a reason?

"This is very important." Li Wu said. Although she didn't know what Yang Ming said was important, since it was Yang Ming's order, she would naturally carry it out without reservation and write down Empress Dowager Li's order. Every word and deed was finally reported to Yang Ming.

"This is interesting. From the letters of your guard captain, the Ai family saw that he can write Zhao very well. Could it be that he is also from Zhao?" Queen Mother Li asked, in this world, although there are differences in writing between countries It is huge, but it is not that there are people who are proficient in the scripts of the Seven Kingdoms. However, considering Yang Ming's identity, this inevitably makes Queen Mother Li a little curious. Among those texts, there is a person who has long used the scripts of the Zhao Kingdom. If he had not been exposed to it since he was a child, , it is difficult to write the character Zhao to such a beautiful level.

"Master Hujun grew up in the State of Zhao since childhood. Later, due to some changes, he was not allowed to leave the State of Zhao, and then he came to the State of Qin." Li Wu, who had received Yang Ming's permission before coming, naturally faced the problem of Queen Mother Li at this time. There is no need to hide it.

"What a pity." Empress Dowager Li said inexplicably. Probably only she knew what she meant by pity.

"This is the letter the Lord Protector asked me to give to the Queen Mother." Li Wuyao, who couldn't understand why, took out a volume of silk writing from his sleeve and said.

"This is strange, hasn't the transaction been completed?" Queen Mother Li took the silk book in surprise and opened it in front of Li Wu.

It was still the familiar handwriting of Empress Dowager Li, but there was no mention of the Tenglong Legion in it, and the first sentence was actually an old friend of the Zhao Kingdom.

An old friend of Zhao? Looking at these words, Empress Dowager Li couldn't help but have a feeling of intimacy in her heart. She lived in the State of Zhao when she was a child, and her family background was not very good at that time. If not, her brother Li Yuan would not have brought her with her. When she left her hometown and came to Chu State to seek life, the memories left to her by Zhao State were naturally not so good, but now that she had everything, those not so good memories had a different flavor with Queen Mother Li.

Suffering, although it is still suffering for ordinary people and not worth the slightest recollection, but for successful people, it is something else. Only successful people are qualified to recall suffering, because at that time they saw in suffering It is no longer the suffering that continues endlessly until now, but looking down on the suffering of the past with the pride of a successful person, and even giving birth to self-satisfaction in the heart.

Only pride can make suffering sweet; otherwise, difficulties are just difficulties.

The current Queen Mother Li is like this. If the current Queen Mother Li is not the Queen Mother Li, but just Li Yanyan, she will never recall her life in Zhao State, but the current Li Yanyan is the Queen Mother Li.

In the letter, what Yang Ming wrote was not about major events between countries, but just memories of the State of Zhao. Empress Dowager Li, who had similar experiences to Yang Ming, was naturally drawn into the memories.

However, when Empress Dowager Li read half of the letter, the handwriting was still familiar to her, but the content talked about Empress Dowager Li's experience in Chu. Of course, what Yang Ming knew was hearsay, but it was precisely because of hearsay that among them The meaning seems extremely sincere.

Looking at the wording between the lines, Queen Mother Li actually saw a vague figure in it. She left her hometown due to some changes when she was young and had to live in a foreign land. A person walked into the palace step by step in the Chu Kingdom and boarded the palace. Only Queen Mother Li herself would know the hardships involved in the position of Queen Mother, while the other person also experienced various hardships in the Qin State and fought for his life again and again on the battlefield to achieve his current status.

Empress Dowager Li, who knew how difficult it was for her to have everything she had now, couldn't help but feel a similar sense of identification with Yang Ming, who had a similar experience, and with the enemy she had never seen before.

The similarity of experiences aroused emotional resonance, but just as Empress Dowager Li was gradually immersed in this emotional resonance, the wording of the letter suddenly changed and turned into an analysis of the internal situation of Chu State.

In the few words in the letter, some internal conditions of the huge Chu State that were unknown to outsiders were completely presented to Queen Mother Li.

"Those people?" Looking at the silk book in her hand, Queen Mother Li subconsciously said to herself.

Empress Dowager Li was very aware of the threats from within the Chu State. Even though she was now the Empress Dowager, and her brother Li Yuan even held the position of Ling Yin, she still had a strong sense of insecurity.

The large and small nobles in the Chu Kingdom are really too scary, and these brothers and sisters are outsiders. Thinking of the various struggles surrounding the throne of the Chu Kingdom in the past hundreds of years, Empress Dowager Li woke up countless nights. come over.

The King of Chu's internal struggle for the throne revolves around the elder brother killing the younger brother, the younger brother killing the elder brother, the father killing the son, and the son killing the father. There are too many such things. Even the King of Chu has to face such dangers, let alone her. Such a queen mother.

Facing the undercurrents within Chu State, Queen Mother Li was not ignorant, but she could only bury those things deep in her heart without daring to expose them. In a place like Chu State, as a superior person, you can be mediocre. You can be cruel, but you can't be weak. Weakness only makes those with ulterior motives think they have an opportunity.

Empress Dowager Li tried her best to hide her fear, but at this time, the vulnerability that she least wanted to let others know was so clearly exposed in front of the enemy of Chu, and this enemy was so special. For a time, under Empress Dowager Li's In her heart, various emotions that even she found incomprehensible were constantly intertwined.

At this moment, Queen Mother Li even had the illusion that there was a pair of eyes watching her around her, and she had no secrets in front of these eyes.

Someone who knew her fears.

Queen Mother Li wanted to put down the letter in her hand, but her eyes were still fixed on it. As her eyes moved, the words Tenglong Legion appeared in her sight.

Empress Dowager Li once wondered that the Qin army would use the captured soldiers of the Tenglong Legion to trade, and now she got the real answer.

That reason turned out to be Aijia himself? Looking at a sentence in the letter, Queen Mother Li subconsciously looked away. At that moment, she felt a frightening feeling, a kind of throbbing that she had only experienced ten years ago.

The answers to the doubts surrounding the captured soldiers of the Tenglong Legion gradually emerged in front of Queen Mother Li.

The brutality of the Qin army has reached its peak since the beginning of the Qin Dynasty. No one in the world is afraid of the Qin army. Most of the Tenglong army was captured. Everyone in the Chu country, no matter what their thoughts, unanimously believed that the Tenglong army would take advantage of the Chu army. Removed from the establishment.

But the development period of the facts exceeded everyone's expectations. The Qin army was actually willing to release the captured soldiers of the Tenglong Army. This was the first time the Qin army had done such a thing in decades. Although the Chu State was financially demanding for this, It cost a lot, but if you can redeem an elite army with money, Chu State will make a profit no matter how you look at it.

Precisely because it was the Chu State that benefited, Empress Dowager Li wondered why the Qin army would do such a thing to benefit the Chu State, and this question has now been answered.

"Is it because of the mourning family?" Queen Mother Li looked at the letter in her hand, and an inexplicable emotion lingered in her heart.

He couldn't bear the internal situation of Chu State to collapse and endanger the people in his hometown.

Such a reason?

Queen Mother Li put away the letter and was speechless for a moment.
