Qin Shi: Sword Asks the Bright Moon

Chapter 456 The Real Ruthless Man

Lu Wen and Liu Ji wandered around Xianyang City for a long time before they found an inn to stay in. They were going to rest for the night, tidy up their appearance and then visit Yang Ming. Their decision was a coincidence, because Yang Ming happened to be staying in Ganquan Palace that day.

The next day, Liu Ji walked out of the room and happened to meet Lu Wen who was about to take his daughter out. Rao was already familiar with Lu Wen along the way, and he was not unfamiliar with Lu Wen's daughter. At this time, Liu Ji still felt a sense of amazement. After so many years, it seemed that only the oiran he saw there when he was in Daliang City and went to Zuimenglou with his friend Zhang Er was able to win.

It's just that the age is too young, Liu Ji greeted warmly in memory, and in the address of Liu Xiandi and uncle, the three of them walked out of the inn together, ready to visit Yang's mansion.

Although Xianyang City is large, Yang's Mansion is quite a recognizable mansion in this city, so after the three of them set off, they didn't waste too much time. They arrived in front of Yang's Mansion in the morning sun. After being passed by the guards, Lu Wen, father and daughter, and Liu Ji were brought into the hall of the front yard.

The three of them looked at the surrounding scene curiously. They didn't seem to be as rich and powerful as they had imagined. As the sound of footsteps came from the corridor beside the hall, Lu Wen and Liu Ji quickly put away their curiosity in order to show themselves more solemn.

But Lu Zhi, who was a little girl, couldn't help but cast a curious look at the source of the footsteps.

As Lu Wen's eldest daughter, in fact, Lu Zhi is not very old now, and she is only 11 years old now. She has red lips and white teeth, phoenix eyes and peach cheeks. Although she is young, she is quite beautiful. If it is a few years later, she will be another beauty.

More importantly, Lu Wen, a daughter, was born with intelligence, and her aptitude and potential were even higher than that of her elder brother Lu Ze. As long as she had a chance, she might not be able to achieve the same achievements as men.

This is also the reason why Lu Wen brought his daughter to Xianyang so eagerly after receiving Yang Ming's biography.

Although Yang Ming said in his letter that it was only to choose a companion for his eldest daughter to enter the Taoist Tianzong Academy, but Lu Wen saw other opportunities.

As the companion of Yang Ming's eldest daughter, he entered the Tianzong of Taoism to study art, and he also got the opportunity to study in Tianzong of Taoism. This opportunity is unimaginable for his family background. The world is very big, and there is no shortage of so-called geniuses, but among these geniuses, how many people can really become talents? What is really lacking is not genius, but opportunity.

Didn't the Taoist Tianzong hide in Zhongnan Mountain, and even in the Jixia Academy in Qi State, there are few low-school people?
Once he gets the opportunity to study in Taoist Tianzong, Lu Zhi's life will change completely. At that time, relying on Lu Zhi's ability and appearance, is he afraid that he will not find a good home in Xianyang City?
There is even a bold idea in Lu Wen's heart, but...

Of course, Lu Zhi didn't know that her father had so many thoughts. All she had now was curiosity. Curiosity only sent her father to bring Yang Ming, who came all the way from Shan County, with a single letter.

The magnificent and rich mansion along the way fell in the eyes of Lu Zhi, but it made her see another thing, that is power. In this Xianyang city where every inch of land is expensive, it is possible to have a mansion with such a huge area, and this mansion is not far from Xianyang Palace. Apart from power, wealth alone is not enough to support it.

At this moment, in Lu Zhi's precocious mind, a concept called power has clearly appeared.

As the footsteps approached, a figure stepped over the threshold. The tall body almost blocked all the sunlight projected into the hall, giving people a great pressure. It was just an ordinary gray cloth, without any so-called identity, but it seemed too casual. A black hairband bound his long hair casually. Except for a jade pendant hanging around his waist, there was nothing else on his body.

He is Yang Ming, the captain of Qin's army guard?While Lu Zhi followed his father to get up, his gaze passed over his father's side and landed on the figure walking into the hall.

"You guys came faster than I imagined." Yang Ming looked at Lu Wen and Liu Ji who hadn't seen each other for many years, and said without much surprise.

"We don't dare to neglect your lord's affairs. This is the time to come." When Lu Wen was still thinking about how to answer more appropriately, Liu Ji had already answered for him. In terms of thick skin and familiarity, Liu Ji's ability was superior to Lu Wen's.

"Are you deciding to change your way of life?" Yang Ming looked at Liu Jidao in front of him. He had to say that the rich life of the past few years made the former Liu Ji more tolerant. Of course, he was more tolerant when he was silent.

"My lord, please give me a chance." Seeing Yang Ming straight to the point, Liu Ji naturally stopped being polite. Although he still had doubts about the friendship between him and Yang Ming in Daliang City, Liu Ji could tell that Yang Ming was friendly to him.

"Another way of living may be fatal." Yang Ming said.

"If he really died, it would be me, Liu Ji, who was poor, and I can't blame anyone." Liu Ji said bluntly.

This seemingly inconspicuous person has never lacked decisiveness at critical times. In the future, whoever can take advantage of the situation in the troubled times is not a ruthless person. In those wars for the world, the princes and grandchildren are the descendants of the rich and powerful. There are countless troubled times, but in the end it is Liu Ji who gets everything.

At the critical moment, Liu Ji's ruthlessness is able to be ruthless to himself, which is much more ruthless than those ruthless people who can only be ruthless to others.

"Since that's the case, you should stay and find an errand in the Habayashi Guard, and learn more about the skills of marching and fighting from others." Yang Ming said.

"Thank you, my lord." Liu Ji heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this, and this matter was considered a success.

Liu Jiyou is so powerful that he can make him value him so much?Lu Zhi looked at the scene in front of him, and it was hard to imagine that someone like Liu Ji had such a relationship with Yang Ming.

But then again, Lu Wen can also become a guest of this mansion, isn't it also because of Tongtian's relationship?But, what is the father's support?Lu Zhi's eyes fell on his father in front of him again. Although Liu Ji didn't have much to offer, his father didn't seem to be able to either.

"This is your daughter, right? I haven't seen her for a few years, but she has grown up a lot." After arranging Liu Ji's affairs properly, Yang Ming focused on Lu Wen, or more precisely, Lu Zhi behind Lu Wen.

She wasn't very old, but her courage was impressive. When Yang Ming looked at her, he could actually look at Yang Ming.

"Pheeter, I haven't seen you yet." Seeing Yang Ming directly asking about his daughter, Lu Wen immediately got out of the way so that Lu Zhi could face Yang Ming.

"Lu pheasant has met Lord Guard." Lu pheasant jumped past his father, imitating the way of a soldier in the army, and gave a military salute to Yang Ming.

"He's a clever little guy." Yang Ming chuckled, as if he had seen through the young girl in front of him.

Lu Wen couldn't help feeling a little nervous, but Liu Ji felt that the eldest lady of the Lu family seemed to be quite a big deal, and she had such means at such a young age. He only thought that the Lu family might really be a big deal in the future.

During some chatting, Yang Ming asked the maid to bring Lu Zhi to the back house. After all, his apparent purpose of bringing Lu Zhi here was to let Lu Zhi accompany his daughter to the Taoist Tianzong to study art. As for other plans, he still needed to see Lu Zhi's qualifications.

After all, Yang Ming's plan for Lu Zhi not only requires wisdom, but also martial arts. Although Lu Zhi, a woman who can influence an empire in the future, has no problem with wisdom and temperament, but if her talent in martial arts is not good, then Yang Ming can only use her in other places.

After lunch, Lu Wen was arranged in a courtyard in the Yang Mansion. As for Liu Ji, he returned to the inn on the grounds that he wanted to see the prosperity of Xianyang City.

"That little girl Lu Pheasant seems to be quite a big deal." In the dead of night, as Yingying's nominal mother, the startled salamander who had indeed raised Yingying for so many years lay in Yang Ming's arms, and told Yang Ming the result of the 'interview' with Lu Pheasant just now while slightly panting.

"How do you say it?" Yang Ming asked, who was playing with the soft part of the startled salamander with one hand.

"I can't say it, but Yingying likes her very much. There are so many maids in Ganquan Palace, how many of them want to please Yingying, but Yingying mostly treats them with honest words, but this little girl Lu Zhi, it only took a moment for Yingying to eliminate her rejection. This ability is already amazing." Startled salamander said and turned her body, but now she can't fight because she still has her daughter to worry about.

Although Yingying was not her own, she had been raised since she was a child, and she was also Yang Ming's daughter, so she naturally put a lot of affection into her.

"If it's just ordinary, why should I find her, but you don't have to worry about anything, I have my own plans for Lu Zhi." Yang Ming said.

"I'm thinking too much, you always see more than I see." Startled Salamander said, a trace of disappointment appeared in his expression, and in a blink of an eye, the child was about to grow up.

"Now we should talk about something else." Yang Ming hugged the startled salamander's waist and said.

"What?" The startled salamander asked back in a daze.

"Yingying is going to Taoist Tianzong to learn art. You, mother, have nothing to do for the time being. Shouldn't it be time to have a child between us?" Yang Ming pecked the startled salamander's forehead.

"Our child?" The startled salamander was startled for a moment, and then a look of emotion appeared on his expression. Even though he had been married for many years, his still-clear eyes were already rippled.

The startled salamander didn't answer Yang Ming's question with words, but directly pressed his palms on Yang Ming's body. His dexterous body turned against the guest before turning over. He sat up, with his palms resting on Yang Ming's chest, and his waist moved slowly until he was blocked by a place.
