Qin Dynasty: Sword Asks the Bright Moon

After parting ways with the old hunter in front of the village, Yang Ming took Little Snow Girl with no intention of resting, but headed north in the afterglow of the setting sun.

The hinterland of Zhao State is still dangerous for them, and only by entering Yanmen County as soon as possible can they get temporary respite.

The obsession with three thousand gold made Yang Ming very cautious, and he and Xue Nu were also very lucky. They did not encounter any dangers or accidents along the way, except for sleeping in the open air, which was not a good thing.

When the time came to December, Yang Ming finally crossed the frozen river and came to a city in the Zhao Kingdom that once belonged to the Zhongshan Kingdom: Dongyuan.

This name seems very ordinary, but in the future, it will have a famous name: SJZ.

Dongyuan connects the north and south of Zhao State, connects Qi Di to the east, can enter Jingxing Fortress in the west, and goes straight to the west of Taihang Mountain.

Here there is salt from Qi State, various metals from South Korea, and lacquerware and silk from Chu State.

All caravans traveling from north to south that need to go west will gather here to form a larger caravan, and jointly pay for the hiring of warriors to guard the caravan. They will pass through Jingxing Pass, enter the west of the Taihang Mountains, and then go north. After passing Hengshan Mountain, he entered the land of Daijun and Yanmen, sold the materials in hand, and then bought back the specialties of Daijun and Yanmen, such as horses, furs, and animal sinews.

In the past, these caravans did not need to hire such large-scale guards as long as they paid enough protection fees for the garrisons in various places. However, more than ten years ago, the situation changed.

After the Changping Battle more than ten years ago, the Qin State took advantage of the situation and captured Zhao State's Taiyuan County. In the following years, Zhao State and Qin State fought for Taiyuan County many times. The most recent one was four years ago. , the current king of Qin. When King Qin Zheng first ascended the throne, everyone in Taiyuan County rebelled, and was later suppressed by General Meng Ao.

In addition to the tens of thousands of casualties caused by the years of competition between the two countries in Taiyuan County, another result is that there are many more bandits in the mountains to the north of Taiyuan County.

Every time the Zhao people failed to resist, the defeated soldiers and refugees would enter the vast mountains and turn into bandits. After more than ten years of accumulation, it had already become a paradise for bandits.

Therefore, if these caravans want to pass there smoothly and enter Dai County and Yanmen County, the only option is to cooperate with each other and jointly pay for the hiring of guards. Only in this way can they bargain with the endless bandits on the trade road.

The purpose of Yang Ming's arrival was precisely for this matter. The caravan was the best cover for Yang Ming and Xue Nu.

Yang Ming, who was walking on the street, looked at the caravans that were recruiting people, and chose the right caravan for him.

At this time, Snow Girl was riding on Yang Ming's neck, holding Yang Ming's head with one hand to stabilize his body, and pressing the bearskin hat on his head with the other hand to prevent the hat from falling off and exposing something that should not be exposed.

In the past half month, Xue Nu has grown a light layer of hair. Unfortunately, compared to the knife skills used in hunting and killing, Yang Ming is really not very good at shaving her head. Therefore, at this time The snow girl's little head was covered with stubble of different shades, which gave the little girl a look of decadence when she faced him.

Although she is still young, she also knows about beauty and ugliness, especially about herself.

After finding the target, Yang Ming directly found a pretty good Yuelai Inn that chained the entire world, and stayed there directly.

In the past period of time, he had been sleeping rough all the way, but he really had no resistance to a hot bath and a warm and soft quilt.

In the room occupied by Yang Ming, behind the screen, white water vapor evaporated, making the dry thing a little more moist. After taking off all the clothes that he had not changed for a long time, Yang Ming tested the water temperature and left directly. After entering the tub, his arms and legs, which were much slender than those of an ordinary fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy, could only curl up in the tub.

"If you have money, the first thing you should do is to buy a big house, and then build a big bath, a bath where you can swim." Yang Ming thought to himself, enjoying the gentle feeling from the hot water.

The obsession with the house came from his previous life, and the obsession with the bath came from this time.

"Well, ah!" When Yang Ming fell into fantasy, a slight intoxicated sound came from the other side of the screen.

Yang Ming looked around and saw that in the reflection on the screen, Little Snow Girl was stepping on a bench with a pair of round short legs, and plunged her head into the small bathtub prepared for her. She looked even more naughty. After spitting out a few bubbles, he immediately moved into the tub and submerged himself into the hot water.

In the past few days, Yang Ming had been miserable enough, but what was even more miserable was Snow Girl. She was a young lady from a wealthy family, and she had never experienced the hardship of sleeping in the open air.

In the steaming heat, a faint red color soon appeared on Xiao Xue Nu's round face, and a pair of small hands were stirring in the tub, scrubbing her miserable little body.

Yang Ming leaned on the edge of the tub, thinking about what was going to happen next.

After sending Snow Girl to Yanmen County, you can get three thousand gold, which is a huge sum of money. The next step is to go to Qin State, or go to Linzi, try to worship Jixia Academy, and join a hundred families for yourself. What is the identity of a disciple?

As for keeping Xue Nu by his side, Yang Ming has never thought about it. Whether it is Guo Kai or Queen Zhao, Yang Ming's current strength cannot bear the things that Xue Nu is involved in. Besides, his future is still uncertain. How could he take care of a five or six-year-old girl without a place to live?

Yang Ming, who had put on clean clothes, lay lazily on the soft couch near the window. The afternoon sunlight shone on his body through the pager, making all the bones in his body feel itchy.

On one side of his body, the little snow girl curled up into a ball and fell asleep. However, a pair of small hands tightly held Yang Ming's two fingers, as if she could get a sense of security in her sleep.

For Xiao Xue Nu, the experience of less than a month has been too long and too pitiful. In a short period of time, she has experienced the disaster of family destruction and death, and the murderer was her own mother. In this way Of course, it is difficult for adults to bear, let alone a child.

Therefore, even in her sleep, the snow girl's brows were tightened and she was mumbling something.

"What is the connection between Yanmen County, Snow Girl, and Feixue Pavilion? What will you experience next? How will you become the number one dancer in the land of Yanzhao?" Yang Ming stretched out his palm. Place it between the snow girl's brows, and smooth the tight brows with your fingers.
