Qin Dynasty: Sword Asks the Bright Moon

In the Qin army's camp, as the two most important prisoners in the battle to destroy Zhao, Zhao Qian's mother and son were detained not far from Yang Ming's Chinese army's tent. After Xue Nu briefly washed up in the morning, she left from Yang Ming's camp. She asked for a token in her hand and walked to the place where Zhao Qian's mother and son were imprisoned. Some things were just as Xue Nu said, and she needed to understand them herself.

In an ordinary large tent, the former Queen Mother Zhao and now Mother Zhao looked at the simple food on the table uneasily. It was not that she disliked these simple foods. When she was a child, she ate The food was not as good as these, and she was only worried about her fate.

Waiting is a terrible thing. It tortures a person and gradually amplifies her fear of the future. In the end, such fear will swallow up everything in her and make her collapse.

What will happen to a queen mother who has lost her country? Mother Zhao really couldn't imagine it, because there were so few lessons learned, and among the limited number of empress dowagers who lost their country, almost few of them had a good ending, either their country was destroyed and they died, or they fell into the hands of their enemies. It is said that when the State of Wu invaded the State of Chu, the Queen Mother of the State of Chu, who was also the princess of the State of Qin, encountered a similar thing.

If she was just being insulted, Mother Zhao would still be able to see it. She may have no other advantages from a humble background, but in terms of cherishing life, she has persistence beyond ordinary people, because she knows better than most people, Only by living can you have a chance.

Now Zhao's mother's only hope is to live, but it is really difficult to live, because now her identity is not just a queen mother whose country has perished, but also Yang Ming's enemy.

While Mother Zhao was not thinking about her meal, the closed tent suddenly opened, and a slender figure appeared in her sight.

The early morning sunlight passed over the figure and fell into Mother Zhao's eyes, making her subconsciously want to close her eyes, but at this time she opened her eyes wide and allowed the dazzling sunlight to stimulate her eyes to tears.

The person who came was just a girl who was no more than sixteen years old. She was tall but slender. It was difficult to see her face clearly in the sunlight, but Mother Zhao immediately thought of her identity because of her snow-white and beautiful long hair. The hair was too conspicuous, but it was also so dazzling to Mother Zhao.

In this world, there are many people with different hair colors. In addition to the vast majority of people with long black hair, there are also people with different colors such as purple, red, pink, and snow white. Of course, such long hair is extremely rare. But it was precisely because it was so rare that Mother Zhao was deeply impressed.

When she saw the long snow-white hair, Zhao's mother had already thought of the identity of the visitor: "Xue'er?"

"You should call me Xue Nu. You can't call me Xue'er." Xue Nu walked into the main hall and looked at the person in front of her who was actually her mother, but her expression was calm as usual.

"You hate me?" Mother Zhao's expression changed and she didn't know what kind of mood she was feeling.

"We can't talk about hatred, so we can't talk about forgiveness either." Xue Nu walked towards Zhao's mother and said, but she blocked the next words of Zhao's mother.

"Xue'er, my mother had no choice but to do so at the time. It was all the intention of the late king and Guo Kai." Today, of course, Mother Zhao cannot say that it was all her plan, whether it was to save her life or to maintain her image in front of Xue Nu. , she has to do this.

"Are you reminding me to take revenge on Prince Zhao and his son? If so, I have already remembered it." Xue Nu looked at her 'mother' indifferently. She already knew what happened back then, and Zhao had passed away. Although Wang Yan is not a good person, he is not that despicable.

"He is also your brother after all." Mother Zhao said with a stiff expression.

"Really? I don't remember that I am still your daughter." Snow Girl said calmly, and then took a look at the furnishings in the big tent, and said: "I understand what you want to say, so there is no need to say it, because those Those words will make me feel sick, and I’m here to see you off on your way in dignity.”

"Xue'er, can you really not forgive me?" Zhao's mother asked. She originally thought that Xue Nu's appearance would be an opportunity that she could seize, but Xue Nu's determination was far beyond her imagination, and she would not give any chance at all. An opportunity to act in an emotional drama.

"No, I have never hated you. As a daughter, my life is what you gave me. If you want to take it away, I naturally have nothing to say. The so-called resentment is out of the question, but the debt you owe It should be repaid, the living people can forgive you, but the living people are not qualified to forgive you on behalf of the dead people." Snow Girl said.

"I was also forced. You only remember how kind your grandmother was to you, but you don't know how harshly she treated me. She wouldn't let me enter the house, looked down on my origin, and wanted to take you away from me. "Mother Zhao scolded her former mother-in-law and found excuses for her past behavior.

"It's not that I have no memory of what happened at that time, but the people I'm talking about who died are not just my grandmother, but also the old housekeeper, and those on the village." Snow Girl said.

"Who are those people? They are just slaves." Zhao's mother said loudly, asking her to pay for those people's lives? It doesn't make sense.

"But they are also human beings, and it is useless to talk. I am here to send you on your way in dignity. Don't let your brother come forward, otherwise you may lose all your dignity in the end." The Snow Girl remained unmoved.

"Even you want to force me?" Mother Zhao's expression was already distorted.

"Leave yourself something decent, and you always have to pay back the debt you owe. Compared with those who died before they understood anything in their sleep, you have already gained too much. From this point of view, , you are not at a loss." Xue Nu said, taking out a small medicine bottle from her sleeve and placing it in front of Mother Zhao.

Looking at the indifferent Snow Girl, Zhao's mother already knew that her last chance of survival was gone.

but……

Suddenly a flash of light flashed through Zhao's mother's mind: "You are forcing me so hard, are you trying to avenge those people, or are you just doing it for Yang Ming?"

This is a possibility that Mother Zhao suddenly thought of. Yang Ming had too many reasons to kill her, but her identity was there after all. Even the queen mother who lost her country was once the queen mother after all. It is not that easy to kill her. , and even cause a lot of trouble for Yang Ming himself.

"Both." Yuki-onna replied, not choosing to hide it.

"Oh, that's it." Mother Zhao smiled bitterly and understood everything. If it was just because of the dead people, she might still have a chance to quibble, but in front of the living people, she is nothing.

"Yang Ming is really just your brother. Does he really just treat you as a sister?" Mother Zhao asked. When her own end was determined, the worry about gain and loss gradually disappeared from Mother Zhao. The fear slowly dissipated, and instead became more Out of his former agility.

"I will be what he imagined." The snow girl replied ambiguously.

But this answer that was not the answer made Zhao's mother understand something instantly. She suddenly smiled and said: "That's it, that's it. If that's the case, I can rest assured. Okay, I'll make it happen." You, you are right, the debt you owe must be paid after all. My parents also said similar words to me when I walked out of the house." Mother Zhao said, who suddenly became cruel to herself.

Everyone is afraid of death, and Zhao's mother is no exception. However, when she chose to take that path, she considered the outcome of death. Over the years, there are not a few people who have been tricked to death by her. Queen Zhao, there are others, and now she has just become one of them.

"Xue'er, I didn't really want to kill you back then. You also know that I loved you the most at that time. Unfortunately, desire is a beast and it swallowed up all my conscience in the end." Zhao's mother said.

What responded to Zhao's mother was Xue Nu's silence. She had already remembered the incident back then, so she naturally knew that what Zhao's mother said at this time was not false.

"As a mother, let me give you the last words. This is the last teaching for you as a mother." In the silence of Xue Nu, Mother Zhao was not disappointed, but continued: "What I want For things, don’t expect charity from others, you have to fight for them yourself and work hard for them.”

"Thank you." Snow Girl's cold expression softened a little.

"I have accepted it, but if I die now, it will bring a lot of trouble to you and Yang Ming. When I leave this military camp, I will be on my way." Zhao's mother said.

"But, when the time comes, will you make a memorial tablet for my mother? You know, it is quite scary to be a lonely ghost." Mother Zhao continued.

"Debts are canceled after death. You are my enemy while alive, but you are just my mother after death." Yukionna replied.

Listening to Xue Nu's answer, a smile appeared on Zhao's mother's face. She had already gotten the answer she wanted from Xue Nu.

When Xue Nu delivered poison to Zhao's mother, Yang Ming came to the Southern Great Wall.

More than 80,000 Zhao troops were summoned by Yang Ming on the riverside plain under the Great Wall. The powerful army that could compete head-on with the Qin army was gone. Instead, they were lifeless. The people were still the same people as before, but their hearts were gone. They no longer have the heart they once had, and with their minds shattered, 80% of the combat power of this army has been lost.

Especially at this time, more than 80,000 of them were summoned here. If there were only about a hundred guards around Yang Ming, and if there were no people digging holes in their sight, they would even think that The Qin army, which has a long criminal record, is finally showing its evil side.

Fortunately, the generals they were familiar with, such as Yan Ju, were still there, which gave them a little sense of security.

After Yan Ju came forward and made a speech, there was gradually a discussion among the Zhao army. They were asked to select elites from among them to form a new army. What did such a thing mean to them?
