Qin Shi: Sword Asks the Bright Moon

Chapter 121

Since the time of Yanmen, Li Wu has been in contact with Yang Ming. At that time, the soldiers in Yanmen City called Yang Ming the number one warrior in Yanmen County. Li Wu actually didn't have much feeling for such a title.

After all, she is a woman who is a main killer and a deputy dancer, and she doesn't know anything about the fights in the army, or she doesn't know at all.Li Wu knew that Yang Ming's martial arts were very high, even higher than her own, but that was all.

But at the moment, Yang Ming told Li Wu that she had killed the first-class killer of Luo Wang Tianzi, Jian Ri, and Li Wu still had a vague understanding of the strength of the hidden sun. Therefore, Li Wu at this time was completely into shock.

Even Yu'er, who has always been cold, looked at Yang Ming at this moment with emotional fluctuations. Biri and her are both first-class killers in Tianzi, and she is very clear about the strength of the other party. Above, and the position of the sun in the net must also be above oneself.

In particular, his next mission was planned by the sun, but it was such an existence who had the potential to be the second person in the net, but was beaten to death by Yang Ming.

In the shocked eyes of several pairs, Yang Ming said: "This can be regarded as revenge for you, Yu'er."

"Revenge?" Li Wu's heart trembled when she heard the words, was the person who did it last night really a trap?
And Yu'er also showed proper shock at this time: "It turns out that that person is hiding the sun, no wonder his martial arts are so powerful."

"That's why I have to thank Yu'er. If it wasn't for your help at a critical moment, I wouldn't be able to take that sword." Yang Ming laughed.

While Yang Ming was chatting with the women in the yard, Lu Buwei also got the news that Lao Ai was beaten to death in Ganquan Palace.

"Lao Ai actually died in the martial arts competition? How is this possible? He just said that he may not be able to win, but he didn't say that he was not Yang Ming's opponent? Moreover, Yang Ming was very measured in his moves during the martial arts competition yesterday. How could he do that today?" Would he do such a cruel thing? Could it be?" Lu Qi, who was ordered to be grounded by Lu Buwei, said in shock.

He has always regarded Lai Ai as his true friend. Although not long ago, because of the assassination, Lu Buwei thought that Lai Ai was constantly using him, but after many years of friendship, even when he has recognized the true face of Lai Ai , when I heard the news that Lai Ai was beaten to death, I still felt very uncomfortable.

"It's a good thing to be beaten to death. Speaking of which, it's a blessing in disguise for you." Lu Buwei twirled his beard and muttered.

"As the first-class killer of Luo Wang Tian Zi, he is in charge of the intelligence systems of South Korea and Wei, but he wants to use his friendship to seek the position of Captain of Ganquan Palace. What is he trying to do? He just wants to get close to the Queen Mother Zhao and use Zhao The Empress Dowager's power is to seek more things for him. If he really realizes his plan, he has a net to help him, coupled with the power of the Empress Dowager Zhao, maybe he can really set off a big storm in Qin. "

"And now, he happened to be beaten to death, but it was Yang Ming. I underestimated him." Lu Buwei pondered, as if thinking of something.

"Did he already know that the person who assassinated him last night was Lai Ai?" Lu Qi asked, after realizing that he already knew about the assassination last night, and he was completely used by Lai Ai.

"Is it difficult to know that it was Lai Ai who moved the hand?" Lu Buwei squinted at Lu Qi, and the disappointment in his heart deepened.

Lu Buwei didn't have many heirs. In order to make money in the early years, and later for his own plan to live with rare goods, he traveled around all the year round. He really ignored the teaching of his heirs, so that his few heirs were not very successful.

But Lu Qi, as his eldest son, he still cultivated at any cost. After all, if the Lu family wants to prosper, Lu Buwei cannot be the only one, and there are second and third generations who will pass on this family business. , but now it seems that the second generation of the Lu family has been completely abolished.

He thought that handing the snare net into Lu Qi's hands would enable Lu Qi to improve his skills during the experience, but he never thought that a sharp sword like the snare net would fall into the hands of someone who could not control him, like a child holding a heavy weapon that has not yet hurt the enemy. But he hurt himself first.

Thinking of this, Lu Buwei said: "Luo Wang, you are no longer suitable to be in charge, I will arrange other errands for you."

"Father?" Lu Qi was stunned, and then became depressed. He knew that he had let his father down completely.

He only started to take over Luowang three years ago. During these two years, he wanted to make some achievements so that his father would look at him with admiration.

For this reason, he recruited Lai Ai. With the assistance of Lai Ai, he worked out one grand plan after another. He recruited talents from all over the seven countries to enrich the net. He worked hard for three years, but he still disappointed his father. .

Lai Ai lived and died, and he lost the chance to prove himself. What is the purpose of these three years of hard work?For a while, Lu Qi felt disheartened.

"A snare is a double-edged sword. It can hurt the enemy as well as yourself, but you don't have enough ability to control it." Looking at his disheartened son, Lu Buwei's tone was a little slow. Anyway, this is also his eldest son. , is biological.

"Father, Lai Ai has always been in charge of Luo Wang's plans for Wei. Now that Lai Ai is dead, the affairs over there are still light. Father will arrange someone to take over as soon as possible." Seeing that the situation cannot be changed, Lu Qi can only accept that Realistic, but before completely withdrawing from the trap, there is one thing he must arrange.

A series of plans against the Wei State had consumed most of his and Lao Ai's energy in the past three years, and he didn't want this plan, which had cost him a lot of experience, to die prematurely.

"I already have a candidate to replace Zheri, and your plan in Wei State will be implemented smoothly." Lu Buwei said.

"I was worrying too much." Lu Qi then said again: "Father, what about the assassination last night?"

Although Lao Ai is dead, the assassination is not over yet, and the people from the Lieutenant's Mansion are still investigating.

"Everything is Lai Ai's own initiative, and she privately mobilized the power of the net to assassinate court officials. Now that Lai Ai has been beaten to death by Yang Ming, it can be considered that the case is closed." Lu Buwei said indifferently.

"Father, will the Lieutenant's Mansion and Tingwei's Mansion believe it?" Lu Qi asked.

"If they don't believe what the old man said, they have to believe it. You don't need to worry about this matter." Lu Buwei said.

Taking advantage of the night, Li Wu and Yu'er followed Yang Ming and others back to the Garden of Mirrors. Although Yang Ming said he was stingy before, after arriving in the Garden of Mirrors, he still ordered several famous prostitutes to accompany him.

In the sound of singing and dancing, Meng Tian kept a serious face, even if there were famous prostitutes by his side, he still kept a proper distance, which made it difficult for the famous prostitutes around him to hide their gloomy expressions.

Meng Tian doesn't like places like Mirror Garden, but this is Yang Ming's invitation, and it's inconvenient for him to refuse.

The two brothers Li Xin and Li Jue were free-spirited, drinking and having fun with the famous prostitutes who accompanied them. Obviously, they have sufficient experience in places like Jinghuayuan.

On the other hand, Yunze was a little cautious, even nervous, raising the wine cup several times to toast Yang Ming, but in the end, for some unknown reason, he still poured the wine into his own mouth.

"The Empress Dowager is about to move into Ganquan Palace. Before that, the six hundred guards of Ganquan Palace need to be formed in advance." Yang Ming put down his wine cup and said.

Following Yang Ming's movements, Meng Tian, ​​Li Xin, Li Jue, and Yun Ze put down the wine cups in their hands at the same time. They knew that Yang Ming had more to say.

"Li Jue, Yun Ze, we have also fought against each other before, you two are very good at martial arts, I wonder if you are interested in becoming a guard in Ganquan Palace." Yang Ming asked Li Jue and Yun Ze.

The Ganquan Palace imperial guard organization is different from the ordinary Qin Army infantry organization, but is completely organized according to the cavalry organization. After all, this imperial guard guarded the palace city when Zhao Ji was in Ganquan Palace, but when Zhao Ji went out At the same time, it is also a casual follower, and every imperial guard must have both the ability to be off the horse and on the horse.

For the guards of Ganquan Palace, five people set up a chief, ten people set up an official, hundreds of people set up a leader, and 200 people set up a general. Above the general, Yang Ming, the school lieutenant of Ganquan Palace.

Yang Ming promised the two of them that he would be the leader of a hundred people, which was enough to show his sincerity.

"Lieutenant Yang thinks highly of me, Li Jue, how can I, Li Jue, not know how to flatter me, not to mention being straightforward, even if I am a small pawn, I, Li Jue, have nothing to say." Li Jue took the lead in expressing his opinion.

But Yunze didn't speak, but clenched his fists tightly, his face was red, as if he was drunk.

"Could it be that Yunze has other plans?" Seeing Yunze's situation, Yang Ming asked.

In the sight of everyone, Yun Ze suddenly stood up from his seat. Amidst everyone's doubts, he actually came to the field, knelt down, and said excitedly: "Thank you, Captain, for your kindness."

After all, he bowed his head to the ground.

Kneeling is not respected in this era, even if you meet a Shangguan in the officialdom, you don't have to perform such a grand ceremony, but Yunze...

Seeing Yunze's fierce reaction, Yang Ming was slightly startled, but Li Xin looked at Yunze with contempt, while Meng Tian showed a thoughtful expression. As for Li Jue, This person only felt that Yunze's reaction was a bit exaggerated, but what else?He didn't feel anything else.

No matter how surprised Yang Ming was at this time, in the face of such a situation, he still stepped forward to support Yunze, and said: "From now on, we will serve the Queen Mother loyally, as colleagues and comrades-in-arms, why should we be so generous."

"My lord's kindness, Yunze will remember it all his life. In the future, if Yunze has even the slightest disloyalty, he will be punished by heaven and die." Yunze swears.

Yang Ming looked at Yun Ze who had a serious face that didn't seem to be hypocritical, and vaguely understood something.

Yunze, born in Nanjun, his ancestors were a low-level official in Chu State. When Bai Qi led the Qin army to attack Yingdu of Chu State, after Qin established Nanjun, even this small official status was lost. His father wanted to revive him. Family, resolutely joined the Qin army, but after nearly 20 years of struggle, he was only appointed as a centurion, and there was no chance to go up.

He came to Xianyang from Nanjun, and it can be said that he brought the hope of the whole clan. If he couldn't gain a foothold in Xianyang, he would disappoint the clan when he returned home.

After failing in the competition, he was already in despair, and was about to go back to Nanjun in despair, but he never thought that Yang Ming would give him a chance right now.

This opportunity was never obtained by his ancestors for hundreds of years, and it was an opportunity that his father did not get after nine deaths in the army. It was an opportunity for him and the family behind him to realize the leap from civilian to real official.

Such an opportunity may be worthless to people like Li Xin and Meng Tian, ​​but to people like Yunze, it is a precious thing that generations of people have worked hard for.
