Chapter 112 The sweet spring water is also hot (additional update 7 for first order)
Empress Dowager Zhao wanted to set up an arena in Ganquan Palace and select the imperial guards of Ganquan Palace through a competition. For a time, the whole Xianyang and even the entire Qin State became restless.
People who originally had no expectations for the post of captain of Ganquan Palace could not help but become excited.
Only a very small number of people had the intention to pursue this position before. After all, the position of Lieutenant of Ganquan Palace is too important. Even if you have the strength, people who don't care can only cut off their thoughts. Only those who think they have strength and connections can
Only people will actively seek this position.
But things are different now. The Empress Dowager Zhao personally ordered that positions be determined by military force. Doesn't this mean that anyone with strength will have a chance?
Suddenly, the entire Qin Kingdom became heated again, and countless people wanted to use their martial arts to carve out a future for themselves and their families.
"Isn't this the Queen Mother's nonsense? The captain of the Ganquan Palace is in charge of the imperial palace. The affairs of the outer palace are all big and small, and they have their own responsibilities and powers. Such a position requires both wisdom and courage, and it is definitely not something that a reckless man can do.
, that is Ganquan Palace, not a grassroots team in the Jianghu." Lu Buwei received the news from Xianyang Palace and was helpless for a while.
Fortunately, after all, he was just a small captain of Ganquan Palace, so it was not that Zhao Ji could not be allowed to misbehave.
"Father, the position of Lieutenant of Ganquan Palace is humble and powerful. Since the Empress Dowager has let the news out, can we also make arrangements?" Lu Qi asked carefully.
"What are your plans?" Lu Buwei asked. Since his son asked this, how could he not hear another meaning.
"Arrange our people to participate in this competition." Lu Qi said.
"What about Yang Ming? Haven't you been planning to win over him during this period of time?" Lu Buwei questioned.
"Father, I got the news from Li Wu that Yang Ming has never been very interested in the position of captain of Ganquan Palace. He even thought about transferring him out of Ganquan Palace. We can help him with the operation and transfer him to Sanchuan County.
While stationed in the army, he seems to be very interested in South Korea." Lu Qi said.
"He is already a captain now. He can find a suitable position by placing him in the garrison of Sanchuan County. However, are you really sure that he is not interested in the position of captain of Ganquan Palace?" Lu Buwei asked doubtfully.
How tempting it is for ordinary people to serve as the captain of the Ganquan Palace and then become the confidant of the Empress Dowager Zhao. Is there anyone who would not be interested in this position? Lu Buwei has deep doubts about this.
"I'm preparing to have direct contact with him through Li Wu. I'll find out when the time comes," Lu Qi said.
"You can handle it yourself, don't mess up." Lu Buwei warned and said no more.
There is no need for him, a dignified prime minister, to worry about Yang Ming's affairs.
Lu Qi left the Prime Minister's Mansion and went straight to a wine shop, where someone was already waiting for him.
"Brother Lu." Seeing Lu Qi walk into the wine shop, a man who had been waiting here stood up and said.
"The business of your wine shop is not very good." Lu Qi walked over and said.
"It's just a place to stay, and I don't expect it to make much money." The speaker is in his mid-thirties, has a Chinese character face, thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a strong body. He can be said to be extremely masculine.
gas.
"Father has already agreed to that matter. I will help you participate in this competition in Ganquan Palace." Lu Qi looked at the person in front of him and said.
His name was Lao Ai. Lu Qi had known him as early as when Lu Buwei was still in the capital of Zhao. He was good at swordsmanship. After Lu Qi participated in the trap as Lu Buwei's power expanded, Lu Qi recruited Lao Ai into the trap.
Seven years have passed since he became his confidant. The once unknown swordsman in Zhao Du has now become a top-notch killer in Luo Wang, and is Lu Qi's true right-hand man in Luo Wang.
"Thank you, Brother Lu, for making it happen." Lao Ai said.
"You're welcome, I'm helping you, and I'm also helping me. Our interests are actually the same," Lu Qi said.
"Lao Ai was a trapper for one day, and will be a trap for the rest of his life." Lao Ai said firmly.
Lu Qi pinched his short beard and naturally believed deeply in Lao Ai's words. He believed that what Lao Ai said was true.
Of course what Lao Ai said is true, but unfortunately, Lu Qi fell into a misunderstanding. Although he has been in charge of Luo Sheng for several years, he is not the same as Luo Sheng.
Similar stories happened in every corner of Xianyang and even Guanzhong. There were countless pairs of eyes staring at it from that location.
"Brother Yang, you are in big trouble this time. I am afraid that all the brave warriors of the Qin State will participate in this competition." In Yang Ming's small courtyard, Meng Tian, who was dressed in civilian clothes, was a guest.
"So, I probably won't be able to become a captain, and I will have to ask you to help me arrange a good position in the army." Chen took advantage of Meng Tian's reminder, and Yang Ming said miserably.
"If there is anything I can do to help Brother Yang, please just ask." Meng Tian agreed generously.
Meng Tian didn't have many friends in Xianyang, and Yang Ming was undoubtedly the most important one among them. Moreover, Meng Tian also learned a lot from Yang Ming.
After all, for Meng Tian, Yang Ming had actually been on the battlefield. Compared to Meng Tian studying hard behind closed doors at this time, Yang Ming's knowledge was even greater than his.
"I will inevitably cause trouble for you." Yang Ming said.
"Brother Yang, does the injury on your hand matter?" Meng Tian looked at Yang Ming's bandaged palm as he spoke. Now the competition is imminent, and Yang Ming is the one guarding the competition, although Yang Ming is indeed against Ganquan Palace.
The captain didn't mean to do it, but many of his losses were ugly in front of the public.
"It's just a minor injury. Besides, besides myself, who else can make me lose this competition?" Yang Ming said confidently.
Although the Paiyun Palm and Fengshen Legs cannot exert the overwhelming power in another world due to the upper limit of energy in this world, they are still the top secret skills in this world, and when they are completed, they will be enough for Yang Ming to dominate his whole life.
It's not that easy to win against him.
"Brother Yang, arrogant soldiers will be defeated." Meng Tian reminded.
"That's because it's not strong enough." Yang Ming said.
In Meng Tian's silence, Yang Ming continued: "This world is very big. If you can't get over the current difficulties, how can you appreciate the wonders of this world."
"A sword has no eyes, so one should be cautious." If Meng Tian were an ordinary friend, after hearing what Yang Ming just said, Meng Tian would know enough is enough, but in Meng Tian's view, Yang Ming is his true friend, and there are some things he would rather have said.
, can’t be said to be less.
"You, you are good at everything, but your temper is too upright and you can't stand a little joke." Yang Ming shook his head and laughed.
He is not an ignorant person, how could he not see Meng Tian's good intentions, but Meng Tian's temperament will ultimately lead to a lot less fun.
Of course, this is not important. If you want to find fun, there are so many places to find it, such as Jinghua Garden, so why do you have to find it in your own friends?
"Brother Yang is joking?" Meng Tian said in shock, and then suddenly realized: "Yes, Brother Yang is a person who has experienced the battlefield, how could he make such a mistake."
"Yes, you really can't make mistakes in this matter, because you are gambling with your own life." Yang Ming said, this world still belongs to the world of martial arts. A hidden arrow and a cup of poison can kill the so-called master.
How can you be careless about your life?
"By the way, Brother Yang, I heard my grandfather talk about something today. Thirty thousand Zhao State's border troops came out of the Taihang Mountains to attack Yan." Meng Tian suddenly mentioned something.
"Yan State? It seems that Zhao State is going to open up the passage between Taihang Mountain North Road and Yan Mountain this time." Yang Ming said without any surprise.
It is common sense for Zhao's border troops to attack Yan. Should Yan be allowed to plot against Zhao but not Zhao be allowed to attack Yan?
Over the years, the State of Yan has thought a lot about taking advantage of the war between Qin and Zhao to get some benefits from the State of Zhao. Unfortunately, it has always been taught by the State of Zhao how to behave.
"Brother Yang, my grandfather thinks so too. When the northern border of Zhao State is connected with the hinterland, tens of thousands of border troops can go south to fight. For us, Qin State, we will have another powerful enemy." Meng Tian said with admiration.
Said with color.
"What you said is fair. I don't have that ability myself. I just know the local terrain, so I can see this." Yang Ming said.
"Brother Yang, why are you so humble again?" Meng Tian joked in a not funny way.
"In this aspect, I really have no desire to show off." Yang Ming said.
When it comes to marching and fighting, Yang Ming is far behind compared to Meng Tian who has been trained by Meng Ao since childhood. But when it comes to the grand strategy of war and attack, I am afraid that no one in the world can compare with Yang Ming.
Because Yang Ming really has a heavenly perspective in this world, but he is very interested in using such things to show off in front of strangers, but if it is still like this in front of a friend like Meng Tian, Yang Ming feels that he is
It's boring to bully people.
"Why is this?" Meng Tian, who was confused, asked.
"Because that's bullying."
As time went by, warriors from various families in the Qin State and from all over the country appeared in Xianyang City. In the eyes of Yang Ming, Ganquan Palace was a deep pit, but in the eyes of others, it was indeed a real ladder to the sky.
On the fifth day of August, the sky was clear with few clouds. Under the blue sky, in front of the main hall of Ganquan Palace, a huge arena had been built. Surrounding the arena were challengers from all over the Qin Kingdom.
The most interesting thing is that at the end of the steps in front of the main hall, there are seats arranged one after another. Zhao Ji even invited many family members of Qin's important officials to watch the battle.
The already somewhat absurd Captain Arena competition reached its peak of absurdity with the appearance of ladies and ladies one after another.
Only people like Zhao Ji can think of such absurd things.
Amidst the sound of bells and drums, Zhao Ji, dressed in fine clothes, walked out of the hall, surrounded by dozens of gorgeously dressed ladies.
The first seven additional chapters have been ordered and will be followed by additional updates from the alliance leader.
