Qin Dynasty: Sword Asks the Bright Moon

"Because I also have my own things to do." Xue Nu replied, Zhao State is also her hometown, and she has to settle some things in person. This trip to Zhao State is inevitable for her.

"You are so serious for a little girl. Tell me, do you have anything important to do?" Zhao Ji asked curiously.

Among the women in the Yang family, Zhao Ji only has the best relationship with Jing Salamander, but she also knows a few of the others, especially the Snow Girl, who seems to be a bit special. Zhao Ji naturally has a deep impression on her. .

With Xue Nu insisting on coming to Zhao Di, the women of the Yang family were naturally worried about letting Xue Nu go on the road alone. It happened that Zhao Ji was also coming to Zhao Di. What better place to visit than the King of Qin and the Queen Mother? Is the frame safer?

So Jing Salamander brought Xue Nu into Ganquan Palace. Zhao Ji would not refuse Xue Nu, Yang Ming's sister. After all, it was just one more person. For Zhao Ji, it couldn't be simpler. Besides, Xue Nu is also Yang Ming’s sister, so it’s natural to thank Zhao Ji for taking care of her.

"Send someone on their way." Xue Nu, who was still not used to dealing with Zhao Ji, replied. She was not a shy person, but Zhao Ji was too enthusiastic, especially considering that Zhao Ji was the Queen Mother of Qin. Her identity made the snow girl feel uneasy.

Xue Nu was sure that she and Zhao Ji only knew each other, but otherwise, especially when leaving Xianyang, Jingyu once said in her ears that there was no need to be too restrained around Zhao Ji, and there was no need to have anything. It's taboo, but when you say it like this, it seems like it's already taboo.

"Sending someone on the road? It sounds murderous. Is it possible that you, a little girl, still want to kill someone?" Zhao Ji smiled slightly and felt that the snow girl seems to be more lively now. She is obviously so delicate and cute. To be able to be so full of killing intent, the contrast gives people a very novel sense.

But then again, there don't seem to be many normal women in his family, right? The Dongjun of the Yin Yang family, the killer of Luo Wang, the female boss of Zilanxuan, the enchantress of the Baiyue clan, there are no normal women except Gongsun Li, who is considered a lady of the family. Is it possible that you also have some secrets? ?

"If necessary, I will kill her with my own hands." Xue Nu said. There was no hint of coldness in her voice. It was just an ordinary word, but in Zhao Ji's ears, it had a completely different meaning.

It seemed that Ai Jia was right. There was no normal person in his family, and the most normal person was himself. Zhao Ji thought strangely while looking at the snow girl.

The debt between Yuki Onna and her mother is actually not difficult to settle. As a daughter, Yuki Onna has no reason to take revenge on her mother. Even though her mother hired a killer to kill her, as a granddaughter, Yuki Onna has reasons to take revenge on her mother. , she herself can forgive her mother for what she did back then because of her status as a daughter, but she is not qualified to forgive her mother for her grandmother, and she is even less qualified to forgive her mother for the old housekeeper and so many lives in Zhuangzi.

At the same time, Xue Nu also knew that Yang Ming would not let her mother go, but her mother's identity was too special after all. If possible, Xue Nu did not want Yang Ming to take action, because that would bring a lot of trouble to Yang Ming. , and Xue Nu didn’t want to cause any more trouble for Yang Ming because of her mother, so she wanted to send her mother on her way in person. If she had to, she could even take action herself, just like what she just said to Zhao Ji.

"Who are you going to kill?" Zhao Ji asked curiously.

It's not good to talk about murder at such a young age. Living in such a home, Zhao Ji is a little worried that her daughter will get into some bad habits because of this.

What responded to Zhao Ji was the silence of the snow girl.

At the end of May in the 16th year of Qin Wangzheng's reign, Qin Wangzheng officially arrived at the capital of Zhao, which already belonged to him.

"Captain of the Guards, you asked me to come here much earlier than I expected." Qin Wangzheng walked out of the carriage and looked at Yang Ming with satisfaction. In terms of combat, Yang Ming was indeed a worthy person for him. For those who are at ease, wars that often seem extremely difficult will often be won in unexpected ways as long as Yang Ming takes the lead.

"It's all thanks to the soldiers who sacrificed their lives on the battlefield to fight for Qin and the king that they were able to capture the capital of Zhao so quickly." Yang Ming also said good things. , and there is indeed no need to be reserved.

"I like to hear this. Have you sorted out the residence I asked you to sort out?" Qin Wangzheng asked.

Since Qin Wangzheng has arrived in the capital of Zhao, the former Zhao Wang Palace is naturally the best place to stay. However, Qin Wangzheng does not want to live in Zhao Wang Palace, because he also has his own former residence here. Compared to Zhao Wang Palace, Qin Wang Zheng Zheng Geng wanted to live in the former residence where he had lived and recorded his childhood. Although it was just a small courtyard, in Qin Wang Zheng's mind, it was no less important than Zhao Wang's palace.

"That area has been cleaned up. The king and the queen mother can move in at any time." Yang Ming said.

"I really miss it a bit." Qin Wangzheng recalled.

Under the guidance of Yang Ming, Qin Wangzheng's carriage quickly arrived at a rather remote area in Zhao Capital City. Unlike other places in Zhao Capital City, this place was like the dark side of Zhao Capital City. Unlike Zhao Capital City, The capital city of a country seems out of place, but here, it bears many memories of the Qin Dynasty.

With the arrival of the Imperial Guards, the once deserted place has gained a lot of popularity.

Qin Wangzheng and Zhao Ji came to a house, with Yang Ming accompanying them. As for safety issues, with Yang Ming around, Qin Wangzheng and Zhao Ji felt relieved.

"It's different, but it's been twenty years." Compared to Qin Wangzheng, who is better at hiding his emotions, Zhao Ji doesn't have too many worries, and she can still find a little bit of familiarity in the past when looking at the person in front of her. In the courtyard, Zhao Ji's expression already showed a deep look of sadness.

"It's not too late after all." King Qin said.

Soon, there were more things that did not belong to them in the old courtyard. On a large carpet placed in the courtyard, there were several small cases listed. After the initial emotion, Qin Wangzheng came from Qin Wangzheng. His rationality once again dominated his thinking. Ying Zheng was just a name that occupied a very small part of his life. Most of the time, he was just King Qin Zheng.

"I have been traveling all the way and saw that the catastrophe in Zhao territory has become a foregone conclusion. How do the guard captains think our Qin country should face this drought?" Qin Wangzheng asked.

"For us in Qin, although the drought is extremely troublesome, it is also an opportunity." Yang Ming said.

"What do you mean by the guard captain?" Qin Wangzheng asked rhetorically.

"We can provide relief through work. There are currently hundreds of thousands of prisoners of the Zhao army. If these people are released directly, some changes will inevitably happen. But if they are kept together, it will also cause turmoil in people's hearts, and it will also cost a lot of money." A large amount of food is supplied to them, so the king can organize these soldiers to change the weapons in their hands into tools and build facilities such as water conservancy and roads in Zhao territory..." In Yang Ming's words, a story centered on the surrender of the Zhao army The work-for-relief plan was presented to Qin Wangzheng.

"The plan is not much, but will it consume too much food? Such a large-scale work-for-relief project may require us to use up the Qin State's two-year treasury savings. This will affect the The follow-up plan to attack other countries." Qin Wangzheng expressed his doubts.

"It should be more than two years, but three years." Yang Ming said.

Although the Qin State's annual tax revenue is the highest among all other countries, its expenditure is as huge as the consumption of foreign wars. The food that can be saved in a year is actually very limited. If you want to implement the work-for-relief program throughout the Zhao State, even if it is With Qin's understanding, three years of accumulation is not enough.

However, when Qin Wangzheng faced the situation of defeating Zhao in the first battle, he was so satisfied that he was ready to continue his efforts. He was preparing to push forward the original plan by two years, which was to destroy all the countries and unify the world in eight years. Now he has to spend three years in Zhao Di, and he is not willing to do so.

"Is it too much?" Qin Wangzheng asked.

"Your Majesty, in my estimation, this is just the consumption of work-for-relief. It will take at least four to five years to completely digest the Zhao land." Yang Mingdao.

"Now we have occupied Zhao State." Qin Wangzheng reminded, if it takes so much time for just one Zhao State, then it will take twenty years to conquer the other five countries, and Qin Wangzheng cannot wait.

"Occupying the Kingdom of Zhao is just the beginning. However, if the king feels that five years is too long, there is no better way." Yang Ming said.

"What can we do?" Qin Wangzheng asked. Qin Wangzheng had too many things, and it was difficult for him to pay attention to ordinary things. Only time made Qin Wangzheng particularly concerned about it.

"Attack the Yan State and use the accumulation of the Yan State to supply Zhao's needs." Yang Ming said.

"So that's it. It seems that the guard captain's thoughts have long been on Yan." After hearing Yang Ming's answer, Qin Wangzheng showed a look of surprise.

"However, if we suddenly swallow up two countries, even with the size of our Qin State, we will have indigestion for a while. Not to mention other things, just in terms of the appointment of officials, we will not be able to find enough suitable candidates for a while. ." Qin Wang Zhengdao.

With the power of Qin State at this time, especially after the destruction of Zhao State, except for Chu State, the remaining states of Wei, South Korea, and Yan State were only equal in strength, but Qin State was extremely unlucky, because Occupying it too quickly will not only not enhance Qin's national power, but will continue to disperse Qin's power. This is something Qin Wangzheng will not do.
