Qin Shi: Sword Asks the Bright Moon

Chapter 160 The Big Deal
Xianyang City is brightly lit at night. Although there is a curfew in this era, it does not start as soon as night falls. On the contrary, as the capital of Qin State, Xianyang City's curfew time is very late in the entire Qin State.

The cool wind at night somewhat dissipated the summer heat, giving the people of Xianyang a temporary respite after enduring the heat for a day. Therefore, there were quite a lot of pedestrians on the street.

Among these passers-by, there were two ordinary figures among them. The hazy lights made passers-by occasionally miss these two figures, and then moved away. Here, no one is more special than the other.

"My husband has a certain smell." The startled salamander held Yang Ming's hand and followed Yang Ming's side.

This is a reward from Zhao Ji. Since returning to Xianyang from Daliang at the end of last year, this is the first time Jingxi has left Ganquan Palace.

"Huh? What's the smell?" Yang Ming, who was playing with the soft ball in his palm, asked back.

"The taste belongs to the Queen Mother." The startled salamander lowered his voice a little while speaking.

"How do you know?" Yang Ming asked, of course he smelled like Zhao Ji, just like the current Zhao Ji also smelled like Yang Ming, but the small nose of the startled salamander was too sensitive. .

You know, with the characteristics of Fengshen legs and cloud-dispelling palms, Yang Ming's five senses are far more sensitive than ordinary first-class experts. Yang Ming still feels that he has hidden well enough, so how can he be discovered by the startled salamander?
"Killers need to hide their whereabouts and pursue one-hit kills. Third-rate killers try to hide their bodies, second-rate killers try to hide their voices, and first-rate killers hide their breath." Surprised salamander looked at Yang Ming's expression. Said sideways.

Being able to become the youngest Tianzi first-class killer in Luowang, the talent of Jingxi is naturally beyond doubt, and among these talents, IQ is also included.

The reason why the previous amazed salamander looked a little dull was because she was not interested in things other than killers. When she was interested in a thing or a person, she would become extremely intelligent. woman.

Just like the current frightened salamander is to Yang Ming's matter.

"Then you are a first-class killer?" Yang Ming scratched the palm of the startled salamander. It was hard to imagine that a small hand that had practiced swordsmanship to perfection could still have such a soft touch.

"En." The startled salamander nodded unreservedly, and said: "So, although the breath of the queen mother on the husband is very faint, so faint that it is impossible for most people to notice it, but I can still detect a trace of it. abnormal."

"The salamander is still amazing." Yang Ming praised exaggeratedly.

Faced with Yang Ming's exaggerated expression, the startled salamander just pursed his lips slightly and said, "But you don't have to worry about it, it's impossible for others to find out, even if it's the first-class killer of Tianzi in Luowang, your martial arts for hiding your breath can definitely be regarded as the best. It is unique in the world, if you are not too familiar with your husband, it is impossible to find the abnormality in it."

"What do I have to worry about?" Yang Ming said frankly.

"That's what I said wrong." If it was another woman, she might have already argued with Yang Ming at this time, but the startled salamander is different. As long as it is what Yang Ming said, no matter whether it is true or not, she will believe it, even if it is true. Ming knew that Yang Ming was lying to her.

Looking at the still expressionless pretty face of the startled salamander, Yang Ming felt a sense of guilt for a moment, not because he was afraid, but because he didn't want to. He probably felt very guilty about lying to such a woman who believed in him so much. one thing.

"Actually, what you said is not wrong, I will indeed leave the breath of the queen mother on me." Yang Ming said.

"Well, I know." The startled salamander nodded.

"How do you know everything? Can you let me finish my sentence? If you do this again, I can punish you when you get home." Yang Ming threatened viciously with his dejected hand.

Hearing Yang Ming's threat, panic appeared on the face of the startled salamander for an instant, and her left hand subconsciously shielded her back. Obviously, she has experienced the punishment Yang Ming said more than once, and even made her suffer. The body formed an instinctive reaction.

Seeing that the cold startled salamander showed a frightened look in an instant, Yang Ming couldn't help laughing. This is not something that I have firmly grasped. To make the startled salamander show such a demeanor, probably a It's something to be proud of.

Thinking of what he was proud of, Yang Ming's laughter was no longer controlled, but he just laughed out loud, and for a while, he was extremely eye-catching even on the street with people coming and going.

Yang Ming put away his laughter and said to the startled salamander: "I will tell you about the Queen Mother later."

"I know, the Queen Mother is our protector." Jing Xi said.

"Yes, she is our protector." Yang Ming looked at the startling salamander. From the startling salamander's words, Yang Ming already knew that he didn't need to explain anything anymore. She knew everything the startling salamander should know. , although she is not good at words, it is precisely because of this that she can calmly observe everything around her. Although she does not speak, she can see it more clearly than most people.

At this moment, the pedestrians in front of the street suddenly rushed toward both sides of the street like separated flowing water. In a blink of an eye, the street that was originally full of people was empty.

At this time, Yang Ming also saw the scene ahead. There were cavalry clearing the way, armored guards and black swordsmen guarding a luxurious carriage coming from the north.

Under the dim lights on both sides of the street, the flag with the word Lu can be seen.

With such ostentation, plus the word Lu, who is the person sitting in the carriage, the answer is self-evident.

Yang Ming and the startled salamander retreated to both sides of the street with the pedestrians, watching the cavalry and armored guards pass by.

However, when the carriage passed in front of Yang Ming, the carriage stopped suddenly, and an old swordsman sitting in the driver's seat had already jumped out of the carriage and came to Yang Ming: "Master Xiangguo, please."

In an instant, Yang Ming could feel that countless eyes were focused on him. Lu Buwei, in today's Qin State, is the most attention-grabbing existence, and who would be the person who can be invited by Lu Buwei?

Right now, Yang Ming stepped forward without any hesitation, and he had no room for hesitation at all. In the eyes of both, Yang Ming pulled the startled salamander onto Lu Buwei's carriage.

"Yang Ming, I've heard your name for a long time." After Yang Ming walked into the carriage, Lu Buwei looked at Yang Ming and said.

"Xiangguo's name is even more impressive in Yang Ming's ears." Yang Ming cupped his hands.

"Sit down." Lu Buwei pointed to the banquet spread in the carriage.

"Thank you, Xiangguo, for your seat." Yang Ming sat beside him holding the startled salamander.

What followed was a wordless silence. Lu Buwei flipped through the bamboo slips in his hand, ignoring Yang Ming, and Yang Ming naturally didn't have any impatience or fear, he could hold his breath very well.

"This is a gift list from Lord Yanchun of Yan State to this old man. Do you think this old man should agree to let this old man go out of the city to form an alliance with Qin Yan?" Lu Buwei put down the bamboo slip in his hand and suddenly asked Yang Ming.

"I'm afraid that a small person like me can't talk too much about national affairs." Yang Ming, who still couldn't figure out Lu Buwei's real intention, naturally became a little more cautious.

After all, last year's incident of Lai Ai and concealing the sun, to some extent, he had offended Lu Buwei.

"You are not a small person." Lu Buwei looked at Yang Ming, and continued: "Didn't you arrange the chaos in Wei Guo?"

"I don't dare to take credit for the chaos in the Wei Kingdom. It's just that at the right time, I made use of it to fuel the flames." Yang Ming said modestly.

"Guiding the situation and guiding the interests, adding fuel to the flames? That's not something everyone can do. At your age, I'm not as good as you." Lu Buwei praised Yang Ming.

But Yang Ming didn't feel a sense of excitement. If he praises too much, he must have something in mind.

"Master Xiangguo praised you absurdly, but Yang Ming can't afford it. How many people dare to compare with Lord Xiangguo in today's world?" Yang Ming replied.

"You are cunning, but don't worry, the old man won't plot against you." Lu Buwei laughed.

The meaning between the words is naturally self-evident: You are a small person, and you are worthy of my majestic Great Qin Regent's calculations.

"Are you a startled salamander? Although you have worked under the old man's command all year round, today is the first time I see you. You are indeed a beauty hard to find in thousands of miles. I am so sorry that Yang Ming will kidnap you in Daliang City." Lu Buwei said He looked at the startled salamander.

Compared with Yang Ming's 'politeness', the startled salamander is much colder, but it is precisely because of Yang Ming that the startled salamander clasped its fists at Lu Buwei and said, "The startled salamander has met Mr. Xiangguo."

Seeing that Lu Buwei brought the topic to the startled salamander, Yang Ming subconsciously raised his vigilance. The startled salamander is still making up killers.

"How about making a deal with you, old man?" Lu Buwei looked at Yang Ming again and said.

What responded to Lu Buwei was Yang Ming's silence, deal?Yang Ming didn't think he had the capital to trade with Lu Buwei.

"I'm exchanging South Korea's Luowang Office for your Zangri and Wei Guo's troops, what do you think of this deal?" Lu Buwei said.

"I'm very interested in the Luowang intelligence system you rebuilt in Wei. Besides, when it comes to South Korea, you have no reason to refuse. What you want to do, you have to use Luowang's South Korean department. In the transaction, although the old man took advantage, you are not at a loss." Lu Buwei said as if I had already found out your details.

Sure enough, the relationship between Zi Nu and himself, for an existence like Lu Buwei, as long as he has the heart to investigate, it is impossible to hide it from him.

If Zi Nu wanted to save those survivors of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, information was an indispensable thing. If she could get the help of the South Korean troops who were ensnaring her, it would definitely save a lot of time.

It has to be said that Lu Buwei did propose a condition that Yang Ming could not refuse.
