Chapter 126: My Little Aunt
Zhao Ji looked at Yang Ming in a trance, and Yang Ming's firm voice kept echoing in her ears: The face of the Queen Mother is more important than the life of the humble position.
Zhao Ji, as the empress dowager of the Qin State, is in authority, if it weren't for the fact that she herself really doesn't know how to use it, she will never be under Lu Buwei, but even if Zhao Ji is not in power, she is still an existence that no one in the Qin State can and no one dares to ignore.
There are too many people who show loyalty in front of her, sincere, false, and have other intentions, people with all kinds of thoughts, and the hands they use are even more varied and strange, Zhao Ji has long been accustomed to this, and even numb.
But Yang Ming's words were heard in Zhao Ji's ears and fell on her heart, but it caused a violent shock in her heart, looking at Yang Ming, who still had childishness between her eyebrows and eyes, and Yang Ming, who didn't know when her upper lip had an extra layer of shallow beard, Zhao Ji fell into silence.
At this moment, she is willing to believe Yang Ming's loyalty to herself, even if it is fake, she is willing to believe it.
But when the words came to her mouth, Zhao Ji asked, "Why?" Because the mourning family is the queen mother of Great Qin, can you determine your glory and wealth? ”
"It's not." Yang Ming denied it.
"What's the reason for that?" Zhao Ji said coldly, there was a trace of fear in her heart.
"Because the Queen Mother is very much like a person." Yang Ming said.
"Who?" Zhao Ji asked.
"A deceased relative of the lowly position." Yang Ming replied.
"Who is it?"
"Despicable little aunt." Yang Ming said frankly.
"Your little aunt? Your little aunt is very similar to the mourning family? Zhao Ji was surprised, she never expected Yang Ming's answer to be such an answer.
"No, the Queen Mother, you are like a phoenix in the sky, your appearance is unparalleled, and the lowly little aunt is just an ordinary manor peasant woman, how can your appearance be compared with the Queen Mother." Yang Ming denied it.
"Is that the one lying to the mourning family?" Zhao Ji said coldly, as if she was annoyed and angry.
"The lowly position does not dare, the likeness that the lowly position says is not the similarity in appearance, but another kind of likeness, which is God and rhyme." Yang Ming explained in a panicked manner.
"Listen to the mourning family, if you dare to deceive the mourning family, the mourning family will let you be an internal servant, it just so happens that your martial arts are not bad." Zhao Ji threatened.
"Because the Queen Mother said a word to the lowly position, the Queen Mother, when you said that sentence, you were almost exactly the same as the lowly little aunt." Yang Ming said.
"What?" Zhao Jihu said suspiciously, she and Yang Ming didn't have a lot of words, how could they remember every sentence.
"At that time, the lowly position was assassinated, and the Queen Mother, who dared to touch the mourning family, the mourning family would definitely let him die without a place to bury." Yang Ming said.
"The mourners said this to you?" Zhao Ji recalled that it seemed necessary to distinguish the truth and falsehood of Yang Ming's words.
"At that time, Zhao Gao and Zhao Neishou relayed the words of the Queen Mother." Yang Ming said.
In Zhao Ji's suspicions, Yang Ming continued: "Although I don't know what the Queen Mother said at the time, I can imagine that the Queen Mother's love for the lowly is just like the lowly little aunt, when the lowly was a child, the little aunt also protected me like this. ”
Zhao Ji, who had already recalled that she had indeed said what she had just said, softened her face and asked, "Were you still bullied when you were a child?" ”
"Yes, the Queen Mother, you also know that the lowly father was a soldier captured by the Zhao army after the battle of Zhaodu, although the father's people later married a wife and had children in the Zhao State, but the hatred between Qin and Zhao has not been eliminated, adults still know restraint, but children will be unscrupulous, when I was a child, because of the relationship with half of the Qin blood flowing in my body, I was bullied by my peers, every time at this time, the lowly little aunt will stand up to protect me and break up those people." Yang Ming showed the color of memories and wrote stories in his memories.
"The mourning family you said can understand, the mourning family and the king were also in Zhaodu back then, and your situation and mourning family have also experienced it." Zhao Ji said, there was already a sad look between her eyebrows and eyes.
Stories require empathy, and for Yang Ming's story, the person who can empathize the most is Zhao Ji in front of him.
She was also in Zhao State back then, and it was almost at that time in Yang Ming's story, when she and the young Qin Wangzheng were left in Zhao Capital, and the situation they faced was more bleak than Yang Ming's experience.
"The little aunt is the only person who protects the lowly when she is young, and the Queen Mother, you are also the only person who protects the lowly when she grows up." Yang Ming said sincerely.
"I see, but do you know that maybe the mourning family said this just because they were angry, and they didn't really want to protect you?" Zhao Ji's expression also became more serious.
"It doesn't matter to the lowly position." Yang Ming said.
"It's not important, you really want to take over the affairs of the Wei State Department?" Zhao Ji asked.
"Yes, Queen Mother, the strength of Luo Wang is not trivial, and the strength of Wei is even more extraordinary, if it can be saved from life and death, it will definitely be a great credit, and it is indispensable to be promoted and rich after coming back, how can you not be tempted?" Yang Ming said half-truthfully.
"You little fox doesn't have a few words of truth in his mouth." Zhao Ji sneered, and naturally didn't believe the reason Yang Ming said at this time, and at this time, there was only one sentence in Zhao Ji's mind: The face of the Queen Mother is more important than the life of the humble position.
"You are careful, as long as you can come back safely, even if the mission fails, the mourning family can protect you, and you can also be promoted and rich." Zhao Ji admonished.
It's done. Yang Ming was determined in his heart, he was not interested in the Sun Covering Sword, but the authority behind the Sun Covering Sword, Yang Ming was very interested.
As for the deception of Zhao Ji, in fact, it is not completely a lie, at least half of what Yang Ming said is true, although the little aunt in her childhood does not exist, but the little aunt in front of her can make her a real existence.
Besides, even if the so-called only half of the deception is actually nothing, it is better to deceive Zhao Ji by yourself than others, at least I will not pit her, pit my own 'little aunt'.
In this era, what is terrifying is its powerful killer organization, but in Yang Ming's eyes, the place where Luowang should really play a role, in addition to the killer organization, is more important than intelligence.
Although many rules have changed in time and space, there are also unchanging rules, and if you can use intelligence to the extreme, it still has unimaginable power.
For such a force, how could Yang Ming not covet it, the position of the captain of Ganquan Palace is important, and it is really good to be able to play a role, but the net can provide Yang Ming with a more grand stage.
Besides, whether it is the matter of the purple girl or the matter of the salamander, the best solution is to meddle in the net, or even control the net.
Zhao Ji, who returned to the dormitory, took off the blood-stained Luo socks on her feet, looked at the extraordinarily bright blood stains on them, looked confused, and didn't know what she was thinking for a while.
"Queen Mother, did the slave wash these socks, or did they burn them?" The palace maid who was serving Zhao Ji asked cautiously.
"Burn it." Zhao Ji said casually.
"Yes." The palace maid took the net and prepared to walk out of the hall.
"Wait." Zhao Ji suddenly stopped the palace maid again.
"The Queen Mother?" The palace maid was surprised.
"Put it away for the mourners." Zhao Ji said, "You have to put it away." ”
"Yes."
Mirror Garden.
The startled salamander looked at the rouge box on the table, and fell into confusion, such a thing, she had never bought such a thing, this is something sent by Yang Ming today, since that night, Yang Ming has never been to Jinghua, but every day he will send someone to 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's is the rouge box in front of the salamander at this time.
"I'm leaving." The startled salamander retracted his gaze and said to Liwu.
"Is my sister going on a mission?" Liwu asked, but then realized his gaffe, and inquiring about other people's tasks is a real taboo in the net.
But this time, the startled salamander replied: "Yes." ”
"What about Yang Ming?" Liwu asked.
The only response to the departure was the silence of the salamander.
When Yang Ming came to the Mirror Garden every ten days according to his usual habit, he couldn't see the startled salamander in the room where he left the dance.
"She's gone?" Yang Ming asked.
"Well, I left today." Liwu replied, although Yang Ming didn't say 'her' name, Liwu still knew who Yang Ming was talking about, although this Mirror Garden can be described as a beautiful woman, but only that one can enter Yang Ming's eyes.
Li Wu carefully observed Yang Ming's expression, but all she saw was Yang Ming's calmness, like the calm of a pool of water.
Looking at Yang Ming like this, Liwu couldn't help but sigh softly, she still failed, in the face of Luo Wang's order, even a first-class killer like the startling salamander had no choice, could she really get rid of Luo Wang's fate?
"She took all the gifts you gave her before." In a wordless silence, Liwu spoke.
"Fortunately, what I gave was all small things, and if it was a big object, it wouldn't tire her out." Yang Ming smiled, and couldn't see even a trace of sadness at all.
"Snort, Yang Ming, you ......" Hearing Yang Ming's words, Liwu's slender figure couldn't help but appear in Liwu's mind carrying a huge burden, which overwhelmed her, and she couldn't help but laugh when she thought of the cold startled salamander carrying such a big burden.
"This is what she left for you, well, although she didn't say it explicitly, I know that this is a gift she left for you." Li Wu walked to the wardrobe next to him as he spoke, took out a small wooden box from it and sent it to Yang Ming.
Yang Ming took the wooden box, gently opened the lid of the box, and a silver metal mask appeared inside, Yang Ming picked up the mask and buckled it on his face, and found that the mask fit perfectly with his facial features.
"This mask is pretty good." Li Wu looked at Yang Ming's mask, but couldn't help but think of another mask, although the two were not the same size, but the format was exactly the same, because they were originally made by one person.
"Liwu, I'll let you see one thing, too." Yang Ming said and opened the wooden box he brought.
"What is this?" Liwu said curiously, the wooden box brought by Yang Ming was very long, Liwu thought it was Liwu given by Yang Ming to the startled salamander, but it didn't seem to be at the moment.
As Yang Ming pushed the wooden box open, a sword hilt appeared in Liwu's sight: "This! "It's hard to hide your surprise when you leave the dance.
As the wooden box was fully opened, a long sword appeared in Liwu's sight.
"I've seen Lord Occult Sun." Liwu suddenly knelt down in the tunnel.
