Qin Shi: Sword Asks the Bright Moon

Chapter 127 My Little Aunt

Zhao Ji looked at Yang Ming in a trance, and Yang Ming's resolute voice kept echoing in her ears: the empress dowager's face is more important than the life of a lowly official.

Zhao Ji, as the Queen Mother of the State of Qin, is full of power, if it is not because she really does not know how to use it, she will never be under Lu Buwei, but even if Zhao Ji is not good at power, she is still no one in Qin State. An existence that no one dares to ignore.

There are too many people who show loyalty in front of her, sincere, false, with other motives, people with all kinds of thoughts, and the hands they use are all kinds of strange things. Zhao Ji has long been used to this, even numb up.

But Yang Ming's words were heard in Zhao Ji's ears and fell into her heart, but they caused a violent shock in her mind. Seeing that there was still childishness in the eyebrows and eyes in front of her, and her upper lip had already appeared more Looking at Yang Ming with a light beard, Zhao Ji fell into silence.

At this moment, she is willing to believe Yang Ming's loyalty to her, even if it is false, she is willing to believe it.

But when the words came to her mouth, Zhao Ji asked, "Why? Because Ai's family is the queen mother of Daqin, who can determine your prosperity and wealth?"

"No." Yang Ming denied.

"Why is that?" Zhao Ji said coldly, there was a trace of fear in her heart.

"Because the queen mother looks like a person." Yang Ming said.

"Who?" Zhao Ji asked.

"A deceased relative in a humble position." Yang Ming replied.

"who is it?"

"My humble little aunt." Yang Ming said frankly.

"Your little aunt? Your little aunt is very similar to Ai's parents?" Zhao Ji asked in surprise, she never expected that Yang Ming's answer would be such an answer.

"It's not like, Queen Mother, you are like a phoenix in the sky, with unparalleled appearance, while the humble little aunt is just an ordinary peasant woman in the manor, how can your appearance compare with that of Queen Mother?" Yang Ming denied.

"Then you just lied to Ai's family?" Zhao Ji said coldly, seeming to be angry from embarrassment.

"I don't dare. The similarity mentioned by the humble official is not the similarity in appearance, but another kind of similarity, which is spirit and rhyme." Yang Ming explained in a flustered and appropriate manner.

"Listen, Aijia, if you dare to lie to Aijia, Aijia will let you serve as a servant. It just so happens that your martial arts are not bad." Zhao Ji threatened.

"Because you said something to the humble queen mother, and when you said that sentence, the queen mother was almost exactly the same as the humble aunt." Yang Ming said.

"What?" Zhao Ji asked suspiciously, she and Yang Ming had a lot to say, how could she remember every word.

"At that time when the humble official was assassinated, the Empress Dowager, whoever dares to touch the Ai family, the Ai family will definitely let him die without a place to bury him." Yang Ming said.

"Aijia said this to you?" Zhao Ji recalled, as if she had to tell the truth from the falsehood of Yang Ming's words.

"At that time, Zhao Gaozhao's servant relayed your words, Queen Mother." Yang Ming said.

Amid Zhao Ji's doubts, Yang Ming continued: "Although I don't know the way the Queen Mother said these words at that time, I can imagine your love and love for the Queen Mother, just like my little aunt. , my little aunt also protects me like this."

Zhao Ji, who had already recalled that she did say that sentence just now, softened her face and asked, "Were you ever bullied when you were young?"

"Yes, Queen Mother, you also know that my humble father was a soldier captured by Zhao Jun after the Battle of Zhao Du. Although my father and those people later married wives and had children in Zhao State, the hatred between Qin and Zhao has not disappeared. Your Excellency also knows Restraint, but children will be unscrupulous. When I was a child, I was often bullied by my peers because half of the Qin blood flowed through my body. Every time at this time, my little aunt would stand up to protect me and break up those people .” Yang Ming showed the color of memory, and wrote the story in the memory.

"Aijia can understand what you said. Back then, Aijia and the king were also in Zhaodu, and Aijia also experienced your situation." Zhao Ji said, with a look of sadness in his eyes.

Stories need empathy, and for Yang Ming's story, the person who can empathize most is Zhao Ji in front of him.

She was also in Zhao State back then, and it was almost at the time in Yang Ming's story. At that time, she and the young Qin Wangzheng were thrown in Zhao Du, and the situation she faced was even more bleak than what Yang Ming suffered. When the Battle of Changping was over, it was the time when Qin and Zhao's hatred was the strongest and most intense, and the living conditions of her and Qin Wangzheng who stayed in Zhaodu can be imagined.

"Little aunt was the only one who protected Humble Job when he was young, and you, Queen Mother, are also the only one who protected Humble Job when Humble Job grew up." Yang Mingqing said sincerely.

"I see, but do you know that maybe Aijia said this because he was angry and didn't really want to protect you?" Zhao Ji's expression became more serious.

"That's not important for a humble job." Yang Ming said.

"It's not important. Do you really want to take over the affairs of Wei Guo's subordinates?" Zhao Ji asked.

"Yes, Empress Dowager, the strength of Luo Wang is no small matter, and the power of Wei Guo is even more so. If he can save him from life and death, it will definitely be a great contribution. After returning, he will be promoted and get rich. How can he not be tempted by a lowly position? ?” Yang Ming said half-truthfully.

"You little fox doesn't have a few words of truth in your mouth." Zhao Ji sneered, and naturally didn't believe the reason Yang Ming said at this time. At this time, there was only one sentence in Zhao Ji's mind: The empress dowager's face is better than that. Humble life is important.

"Be careful, as long as you come back safely, even if the mission fails, the Ai family will keep you and make you rich." Zhao Ji urged.

It's done.Yang Ming was determined, he was not interested in Hiding Sun Sword, but Yang Ming was very interested in the authority behind Hiding Sun Sword.

As for the matter of deceiving Zhao Ji, it is not completely deceitful. At least half of what Yang Ming said is true. Although the little aunt in childhood did not exist, the little aunt in front of her can make her become real. The presence.

Besides, even if the so-called half-deception is actually nothing, it is better to deceive Zhao Ji by yourself than others, at least I will not deceive her, my "little aunt".

Luo Wang, in this era, it is its powerful killer organization that is frightening, but in Yang Ming's eyes, the place where Luo Wang really should play a role is not only the killer organization, but also intelligence.

Although time and space have changed, many rules have changed, but there are also unchanging rules. If intelligence can be used to the extreme, it still has unimaginable power.

For such a force, how could Yang Ming not covet it? The position of Colonel Ganquan Palace is of course important, and it is a great place to be able to play a role, but Luowang can provide Yang Ming with a more grand stage.

Moreover, whether it is the matter of the purple girl or the matter of the startled salamander, the best solution is to intervene in the trap, or even control the trap.

Back in the bedroom, Zhao Ji took off the blood-stained socks on her feet, looked at the extraordinarily bright blood stains on them, and looked confused, not knowing what she was thinking for a while.

"Empress Dowager, did this pair of socks be cleaned by the maidservant, or burnt?" the maid serving Zhao Ji asked carefully.

"Burn it." Zhao Ji said casually.

"Yes." The maid took the net and was about to walk out of the hall.

"Wait." Zhao Ji suddenly stopped the maid again.

"Empress?" The maid asked in surprise.

"Put it away to Ai's family." Zhao Ji said, "Put it away."

"Yes."

Mirror Garden.

The startled salamander looked at the rouge box on the table, and fell into confusion. She had never bought such a thing. It was sent by Yang Ming today. After that night, Yang Ming never came Jinghua, but every day someone will send a small gift.

It will be a silk scarf, it will be a pair of earrings, it will be a simple hairpin, and today it is the rouge box in front of my eyes.

"I'm leaving." The startled salamander said to Li Wu, looking away.

"Is my sister going to perform a mission?" Li Wu asked, but immediately realized her slip of the tongue, inquiring about other people's missions is a real taboo in the trap.

But this time the startled salamander answered Li Wu: "Yes."

"Then Yang Ming?" Li Wu asked.

The only response to Li Wu was the startled silence of the salamander.

When Yang Ming came to the Mirror Garden every ten days as usual, he couldn't see the startled salamander in Li Wu's room.

"She left?" Yang Ming asked.

"Well, I left today." Li Wu replied. Although Yang Ming didn't say her name, Li Wu still knew who Yang Ming was talking about. Yang Ming only had that one in his eyes.

After Li Wu finished speaking, she carefully observed Yang Ming's expression, but all she saw was Yang Ming's calmness, like the calmness of a deep pool of water.

Seeing Yang Ming like this, Li Wu couldn't help but sighed softly. She still failed. Facing Luo Wang's order, even a first-class killer like the startling salamander had no choice. Get rid of the fate of the snare?
"She took away all the gifts you gave her before." In the wordless silence, Li Wu said.

"Fortunately, all the gifts I gave were small things. If it was something big, it wouldn't tire her out." Yang Ming smiled, without even a hint of sadness.

"Chichi, Yang Ming, you..." Hearing Yang Ming's words, Li Wu couldn't help but see the slender figure of the startled salamander carrying an extremely huge burden, which made her overwhelmed. The cold startled salamander Li Wu couldn't help laughing while carrying such a big burden.

"This is what she left for you, um, although she didn't say it explicitly, but I know that this is a gift she left for you." Li Wu said as she walked to the closet next to her, took out a small wooden box and gave it to Yang in front of Ming.

Yang Ming took the wooden box, gently opened the lid, and a silver metal mask appeared inside. Yang Ming picked up the mask and put it on his face, and found that the mask fit perfectly with his facial features.

"This mask is quite nice." Looking at Yang Ming's mask, Li Wu couldn't help but think of another mask. Although the two masks are different in size, they have exactly the same style, because they were originally made by one person.

"Li Wu, I'll show you something too." Yang Ming said as he opened the wooden box he brought.

"What is this?" Li Wu asked curiously, the wooden box that Yang Ming brought was very long, Li Wu thought it was the Li Wu that Yang Ming gave to the startled salamander, but now it seems that it is not.

As Yang Ming pushed the wooden box away, a sword hilt appeared in Li Wu's sight: "This!" Li Wu couldn't hide her shock.

With all the wooden boxes opened, a long sword appeared in Li Wu's sight.

"Luo Wang Sha Zi has seen Mr. Zhe Ri." Li Wu knelt down in the tunnel in astonishment.
