Qin Dynasty: Sword Asks the Bright Moon

Xianyang is called Xianyang because the Wei River runs through it to the south and Mount Wei stretches to the north. It is a land with both mountains and rivers and sunshine.

Under the early morning sun, carriages came from afar and formed a long queue in front of the city gate, slowly waiting for the defenders to verify their identities.

When Yang Ming's carriage entered Xianyang City, the sun had already risen high.

Li Wu, who was sitting opposite Yang Ming in the carriage, couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. Although she still hadn't figured out why Yang Ming came to Xianyang, after all, her mission had been completed. As for the rest, she didn't need a little help. The killer went to care.

But, there seems to be one more thing? Thinking of this, Li Wu subconsciously looked at Yang Ming who was rolling up the car curtain and looking at the street scene outside the car.

Although the transportation from Hua County to Xianyang is convenient, it is still hundreds of miles away. It still takes two days on the road. During these two days, the two of them were in the same carriage. Although this era is The defense between men and women is not very particular, but there is still some discomfort.

However, in addition, Li Wu became more familiar with Yang Ming. It was no longer the familiarity that was limited to the text of Luowang intelligence. Yang Ming's image also became more three-dimensional in Li Wu's mind. .

A young man who is mature in some places, but still naive in others.

But, what exactly does he think of me? Was what he said before asking me to invite him to Jinghua Garden a joke, or was he serious?

In the past two days of contact, Li Wu had already seen that Yang Ming sometimes liked to joke and was not as gloomy as the intelligence showed.

However, after Zi Nu left, there were beauties like Hu Ji and Ying Ge beside Yang Ming. This inevitably made Li Wu have a new judgment. What if he thinks about me?

Li Wu admitted that although he was not as good as the purple girl, he was still not inferior to Hu Ji and Ying Ge, and his color was even better than the two girls. If Yang Ming had any thoughts about him, he would It's just a normal thing.

But he is a killer, and he is not willing to have too much contact with people outside of his mission, especially men. For a killer, it is an unknown but potentially fatal trouble.

But Yang Ming was a person in the name of the Prime Minister's Mansion, so Li Wu was in a dilemma regarding the previous invitation.

The reason why Li Wu agreed so happily before was because she didn't think too much about it at all. After all, when she was in Yanmen, she knew that Yang Ming and Zi Nu had a deep relationship. After visiting the two of them that day, she knew even more The relationship between the two is more subtle.

After observing along the way to Luoyi, Li Wu was even more convinced that Yang Ming and Zi Nu had that kind of relationship, and their relationship was much deeper than that of ordinary men and women. Therefore, when Yang Ming said he wanted to go to Jinghua, , Li Wu agreed without hesitation.

But right now? However, Li Wu felt that she had misjudged her affection for Yang Ming. When she came into contact with him, Yang Ming did not seem to be an affectionate and dedicated person, but more like an ordinary man... ··

Why is he going to Jinghuayuan? Does he have any thoughts about me? If that were the case, things would become very troublesome. Li Wu felt a little irritable in her heart.

When she was in the State of Zhao, as a famous dancer in the capital of Zhao, dancing with long sleeves was something she was extremely good at, but in front of Yang Ming, her sleeves tore.

However, this female killer did not realize that her troubles did not come from Yang Ming at all, but from herself. It was her own heartbeat that led to countless speculations and worries.

"Miss Li Wu, are you familiar with Xianyang City?" In Li Wu's sorrow, Yang Ming lowered the car curtain and asked Li Wu.

"Not too familiar, but I have been here before when I was young, so I still know the main places." Li Wu, who was brought back to reality by Yang Ming's words, replied.

"My eyes are completely dark now. Does Miss Li Wu know where the Meng family is?" Yang Ming asked.

"Meng family? General Meng Ao?" Li Wu asked subconsciously.

Meng Ao, an important official of the four dynasties of the Qin State. Since Bai Qi was killed in the late period of King Zhaoxiang, Meng Ao has almost become the number one person in the Qin army. Especially in the past ten years, Qin State has used Meng Ao more or less as the leading force in its foreign troops. Generals, even Lu Buwei, must win over them to consolidate their power.

Meng Ao's son Meng Wu, although not as talented as Meng Ao as a military strategist, is still a qualified military disciple and can lead tens of thousands of troops in external battles. Although it is impossible to surpass Meng Ao, he can maintain the Meng family. It is still possible to keep the lintel from falling after being defeated.

It can be said that in the next twenty years, the Meng family will be one of the core generals in the Qin army. It would be even more remarkable if a military master like Meng Ao appears again in the third generation.

But why should he go to the Meng family?

"Yes, there is probably only one Meng family in Xianyang City." Yang Ming said.

If possible, Yang Ming did not want to have any contact with Wang Ye. As for using Wang Ye's connections to gain a foothold in Xianyang City, it was something he had never thought about.

After all, the cause and effect involved in Wang Ye's body was too great. Although Yang Ming was not afraid, he still did not want to cause trouble.

But some things are difficult to say after all. It is obviously impossible to convince people in the present with what happened in the future. Bai Po and others reestablished contact with Wang Ye, and Yang Ming could only watch but could not say anything.

However, now that things have happened, Yang Ming will naturally not blame others. After all, he is already here, and everything in the future is full of variables. Whether the future can kill the present head is still a matter of time.

Moreover, as Bai Po said, although the high-gate palace walls in Xianyang are not as high as those of the Six Kingdoms, they still have the doors that should be there. If Yang Ming were to rush in blankly, he would have to spend a lot of effort to get here. A foothold, and connections are the most effective antidote to avoid these troubles.

"The Meng family is a famous family in Xianyang City. How come Li Wu doesn't know that? Speaking of which, Jinghuayuan is located at the intersection of the north and south of Xianyang City. To the north are the royal palaces and the mansions of powerful people, and to the south are the wealthy households in the city. , so it’s really not too far from the Meng family.” Li Wu said with a smile.

"With such a geographical location, it's no wonder that Jinghua Garden has become a famous building in Xianyang. However, I have to trouble Miss Li Wu to show the way."

"It's not even a small thing, it's just a little finger, so why should I thank you?" Li Wu covered her mouth and laughed, feeling a sense of relief in her heart.

Since Yang Ming is going to the Meng family, he doesn't have time to go to Jinghua Garden. Even if he goes there in the future, he can be more relaxed. Li Wu thought about it in her heart, and her heavy heart became more and more comfortable.

Under Li Wu's guidance, Yingge drove through the streets and walked onto a spacious avenue.

Amidst the sparkling sound, the carriage arrived in front of a tall and wealthy house in less than half an hour.

This mansion is not that big, and it is not necessarily that gorgeous, but Yang Ming can still see its extraordinary features at a glance, because compared to other mansions, there are armored soldiers standing guard in front of this mansion, no matter how high it is. The bright door means nothing in front of the eight armored soldiers standing guard.

Because they represent power, and they are not a powerful family, how can they be qualified to use armored soldiers as guardians of the courtyard.

"Ying Ge, you take Hu Ji and send Miss Li Wu away, and then come back." Yang Ming ordered Ying Ge.

"yes."

Amidst the sound of the carriage leaving, Yang Ming stepped forward, took out his letter of recommendation, and explained his purpose of coming.

It didn't happen that the bloody thing that often happened in various stories was that a soldier took the letter of recommendation and went to the palace, while Yang Ming was waiting at the side door.

On the side of Meng's courtyard, there are no houses here. There is only a huge martial arts field. An old man with white hair and beard is holding a spear and sparring with a burly young man.

The young man's spear was extremely powerful, and there were violent attacks like a storm under the shadow of the spear. However, although the old man seemed to be old and frail, the spear in his hand was slow and fast, powerful and heavy, and the defense was splashing water. He didn't move forward, and despite the young man's attack being as fierce as the wind and the blazing fire, he remained motionless.

The soldier waited with Yang Ming's letter of recommendation. It wasn't until a quarter of an hour later that the old man and the young man stopped sparring, then they stepped forward and informed the old man of what happened in front of the mansion.

"Wang Ye, the old guy wrote the letter of recommendation himself? This is strange." The old man took the letter of recommendation, and what he saw was familiar handwriting.

He is Meng Ao, now the general of the Qin State. Although he is old, he can still fight abroad. His reputation in the army is so deep that even the Prime Minister Lu Buwei, who has the power of regent, wants to win over him with courtesy without asking for anything. Meng Ao surrendered to him, only asking that Meng Ao would not go against him and turn to his political enemies.

Looking at the handwriting on the bamboo slips, Meng Ao couldn't help but think of Wang Yan's old face that he hadn't seen for three years.

Wang Jue, a veteran of the Qin State, was one of the few people who escaped unharmed in the Bai Qi case. He was four or five years younger than Meng Ao, but he was already over sixty years old and had a withdrawn personality. The relationship with his colleagues in the military is not very good, and he has almost no friends.

It was probably because of this that Wang Ye was able to command one hundred thousand heavy armored soldiers to guard the area all year round.

"It's just, what kind of young man can actually make this old guy Wang Ye put aside his dignity and enter into a relationship with me?" Meng Ao pondered, and couldn't help but feel a little curious about the young man waiting outside the door of the house.

"Since he is Wang Yan's descendant, we can't neglect him. Grandson, go and bring him in." Meng Ao thought about it and said to his grandson Mengtian who was panting at this time.

"No." Meng Tian responded. Although he was at home, the Meng family had always been governed by military laws.
