Chapter 125: The Queen Mother's face
On the first day of September in the fourth year of the reign of King Qin, Ji and Li moved to a housewarming.
After the marriage date of Qin Wangzheng and the princess of Chu was officially agreed, Zhao Ji left Xianyang Palace on the first day of September and moved into Ganquan Palace.
The palace, which had been deserted since 20 years ago, has once again regained its former splendor and popularity.
Just all kinds of palace maids, Zhao Ji brought five hundred people from Xianyang Palace, including cooks, musicians, dancers, ......, although it includes three hundred and sixty lines, but there are still one hundred and ten lines.
And Yang Ming, the captain of Ganquan Palace, can be regarded as a real deserved name at this time, and there are countless affairs of all kinds during this period, but fortunately, there is Wei Fu, who served as the captain of Ganquan Palace during the Empress Dowager Xuan, and the first general of the Ganquan Palace Guard, so Yang Ming is quite competent.
At least in the three days since Zhao Ji moved to Ganquan Palace, Yang Ming and the guards under his command have not made the slightest mistake.
Although the years of Ganquan Palace were quiet, the Xiangguo Mansion in Xianyang City received a piece of information that caused a lot of shock.
"All the intelligence networks of the nets in Daliang have been destroyed, eighty percent of the killers have died, black and white Xuanjian does not know whether he is alive or dead, and forty percent of the Luo Nets in the entire Wei State have been destroyed." Lu Buwei, who took back control of the net from Lu Qi, looked at the information from the Wei State in his hand, and his brows were already furrowed.
"Father, in the past, he was in charge of the affairs of the Wei State, and his death made the Wei State's Luo Net lose its unified command for a while, so the current predicament appeared." Lu Qidao, who was waiting on the side.
Although Lü Buwei was extremely disappointed in Lü Qi because of the incident before, and even deposed Lü Qi's control of Luo Net, but Lü Qi, as Lü Buwei's eldest son, Lü Buwei still did not completely give up the cultivation of Lü Qi, but took him with him and taught Lü Qi by word and deed when dealing with official affairs in his daily life.
"Are you screaming for Chang Yu?" Lü Buwei said calmly, Luo Net's heavy blow in the Wei State could not cause too many fluctuations in his mood.
"Don't dare, I mean that my father should send someone who can take charge of the matter into the net as soon as possible to clean up the mess now." Lu Qi said.
"The occult is the ruler of the net in the Wei State, and the immediate problem can only be solved by the occult sun, and the occult sword is in the queen mother's place, so leave this problem to her." Lu Buwei said.
"Father, you?" Lu Qi was stunned, and then it was a kind of suddenness, high, and sure enough, his father was tall.
Before, Empress Dowager Zhao asked for the Sun-Covering Sword, but her father sent the Sun-Covering Sword without saying a word, and what she was waiting for was the current situation, right? Empress Dowager Zhao has no one who can clean up the mess at the moment, she can't find anyone and she can only send the sun-covering sword back to Xiangguo Mansion, her father is not only tall, but also hard, even if it is Empress Dowager Zhao, she has to bow her head in front of her father.
A mysterious smile appeared on Lu Qi's face, who thought he had seen what he really wanted.
In the afternoon, Yang Ming, who was on rotation, came to the apse of Ganquan Palace, and met the Empress Dowager Zhao Ji, who was angrily slashing the chrysanthemum bush used as a decoration in front of the palace.
At this time, Zhao Ji was obviously in a bad mood, with anger on her face, only Luo socks on her feet, stepping on a messy chrysanthemum bush, holding a sharp sword, her sideburns were messy, and her bulging chest was even more violently undulating, and there was a lot of anger suppressed.
The surrounding palace maids all hid to the side, obviously knowing that Zhao Ji was in an extremely dangerous state now.
"Yang Ming, come here." Zhao Ji saw Yang Ming who had changed the guard, and pointed at Yang Ming with the sword in his hand.
"Yes, Queen Mother." Seeing this, Yang Ming hurriedly ran towards Zhao Ji from the palace gate.
"Why is the Queen Mother so angry? It's really not worth it to be careful of getting angry. Yang Ming came to five steps in front of Zhao Ji and saluted.
"It's not the old puppet of Lü Buwei." Zhao Ji gritted her teeth and said.
"Lu Xiangguo, Lu Xiangguo, who came here just now, made the Queen Mother angry?" Yang Ming was stunned.
"Who else but the old horseman? Luo Wang was hit hard in Wei State, and it was necessary to send someone to clean up the mess, and Lü Buwei said that people in Luo Net did not know each other, and they had always only recognized tokens, not people, and only those who were in charge of the sword of covering the sun could take over the Luo Net in the Wei State Branch. Zhao Ji, who finally found someone who could speak, said quickly.
"Lu Xiangguo presented the Sun Covering Sword so simply and sharply before, it turned out that he dug a trap for the Queen Mother in this place." Yang Ming said suddenly.
"That's not it, what is the old man trying to do? Now that the net may be destroyed at any time in the Wei State, if the mourning family does not return the sword that covers the sun, the mourning family does not know the general situation, and the national affairs are like child's play. Zhao Ji said resentfully.
"But if you send the Sun Occultation Sword back, where will the face of the mourning family go, and the sun will be taken violently before, and now it will be sent back in disgrace?" Zhao Ji glared at him, and said all his thoughts in front of Yang Ming.
Yang Ming also fell silent.
"Damn old puffer." Zhao Ji said that a sword slashed at the chrysanthemum wreckage in front of her, but it accidentally split on the stone slab under the chrysanthemum wreckage, and the huge anti-shock force made Zhao Ji's palm hurt, and the hand holding the hilt of the sword was unstable, and the sword fell from her hand.
The sharp blade glowed with a faint cold glow in the sunlight, and smashed directly towards Zhao Ji's feet with only Luo socks.
"Yikes!" Zhao Ji exclaimed, but he couldn't dodge, and saw that the blade was about to make an intimate and eager contact with his feet.
At the last moment, Yang Ming stepped forward, and at the moment when the sword was about to cut into Zhao Ji's feet, he saw that he grabbed the blade with his hand.
Zhao Ji looked at Yang Ming who threw himself in front of him, and his expression was a little dazed in fright, until the warm liquid fell on the surface of her feet, Zhao Ji reacted suddenly, and in her sight, Yang Ming's palm that grabbed the blade was already bloody.
"Are you alright?" Seeing this, Zhao Ji hurriedly grabbed Yang Ming's arm, and in her sight, Yang Ming's palm had turned blood-red.
"It's nothing, as long as the Queen Mother is okay." Yang Ming said without changing his face, without the slightest hint of pain, as if the blood that stained Zhao Jiluo's socks did not belong to her.
"Let the mourners see." Zhao Ji pulled Yang Ming's arm, carefully took the sword, and then threw it aside, looking at Yang Ming's palm with a slightly nervous expression.
"It's a long opening." Zhao Ji, who pulled Yang Ming's hand closer, subconsciously felt a sharp pain, and hurriedly took out a silk silk from his sleeve and carefully wrapped it around Yang Ming's cut palm.
"Why didn't you kick the sword away? Aren't your legs amazing? Zhao Ji asked in a reproachful tone.
"In front of the Queen Mother, it is too unsightly to use your feet, and it is unruly and offensive." Yang Ming looked at Zhao Ji who was close at hand, and said with a little embarrassment, this time, it seemed that he was the closest to Zhao Ji since he saw her in the Qilin Pavilion at that time, so close that Yang Ming could even feel her warm breath on the skin around his neck.
"Tell the truth." Zhao Ji said with a straight face.
"Back to the Queen Mother, I didn't think so much about my humble position, and I forgot that my leg technique was not bad." Yang Ming is colorful.
"Aren't you a little fox? Why did you suddenly become stupid? Zhao Ji sneered, and a smile was already unconsciously revealed in her eyes, as if she was not the one who was angry.
"Queen Mother, in fact, there is no other solution to the matter of the Hidden Sun Sword." Yang Ming said tentatively.
"Don't talk about this now, the mourning family is no longer angry." Zhao Ji waved her hand, and then seemed to realize that she was too close to Yang Ming and lost her identity as the queen mother, so she hurriedly wanted to take a few steps back, but forgot that at this time, she should have let Yang Ming retreat.
However, many times, it is the unconscious actions that can show a person's true state of mind, just like Zhao Ji at this time.
"Queen Mother, I have a way to save the face of the Queen Mother and make Lu Xiangguo steal chickens and rice." Yang Ming said.
"Really?" Zhao Jihu said suspiciously.
"Since Lu Xiangguo said that the people of Luo Net don't know each other, so they only recognize the sword and don't recognize it, and now the Sun Covering Sword is in the hands of the Queen Mother, why don't you send someone to Wei with the Sun Covering Sword to take over the Luo Net Department of Wei State, so that the Queen Mother does not have to return the sword, but also can take back the control of the Wei State Department from Lu Xiangguo, which can be described as the best of both worlds." Yang Ming proposed.
"That's how you deal with it?" The expectation in Zhao Ji's eyes had turned into disappointment, what did she think Yang Ming had a brilliant idea?
"This strategy Mourning family has also thought of it, but it's useless, what those people do in the net, laymen really can't do it, although Yuanli around the mourning family was also a first-class killer in the net, but he is a killer who can only kill, and he is not good at things like command and coordination in the middle and changing at the opportunity, and he can't find the right person around the mourning family." Zhao Ji explained.
"Queen Mother, what do you think of me?" Yang Ming also recommended himself.
"You?" Zhao Ji looked at Yang Ming, still with that familiar face, smiling, with the vigor of a young man, but in the net?
"Do you know what situation Luo Wang is facing in the Wei State now?" Zhao Ji reminded that she only knew the depth of Yang Ming.
"I know, in the face of the all-out strangulation of the Wei State, you said it just now." Yang Ming said.
"Then you still want to go? Do you know that when you go there, the enemy you face is the entire Wei State, not to mention that your life is in danger if you are not careful, even if you are careful everywhere, you still dare not say that you can retreat with your whole body. Zhao Ji said.
"This matter can't be done, you still stay in the Ganquan Palace of the mourning family and be your captain with peace of mind, and the mourning family of the Covering Sun Sword should be sent back to the Xiangguo Mansion, isn't it just to lose some face? The mourners don't care. ”
"Queen Mother, please also give the Sun Occultation Sword to the lowly position, and the lowly position is willing to go to the Wei State, even if it is nine deaths and no life." Yang Ming said firmly.
"Why?" Looking at Yang Ming with a determined face, Zhao Ji asked intently.
"The face of the Queen Mother is more important than the life of the lowly position." Yang Ming said awe-inspiringly.
At this moment, Zhao Ji saw the existence of light in Yang Ming in a trance, and it was the light that shone into his heart.
