The Moon in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 203 See You Soon
Before they knew it, the third year of Qin Shi Huang's reign was coming to an end, and Gongsun Li, who was feeling mixed emotions and anxiety along the way, also arrived in the unfamiliar Qin country.

Although Qi was rich, it had suffered a war of annihilation and was almost destroyed, so its momentum as a powerful country was far inferior to that of Qin.

Although Linzi City has a strong commercial atmosphere, the people of Qi are wealthy, and the market is more prosperous than any other country, its majesty and grandeur are far inferior to those of Xianyang City, not to mention the small Sanghai City.

The sea is a display of natural magnificence, but the city of Xianyang is a feat of human effort.

Although Gongsun Li came from an extraordinary family and had some knowledge, she was just a little girl after all. When she first saw the majestic Xianyang City, she couldn't help but feel both fear and curiosity.

It was not until she entered Qin that she realized that the group of people who came to pick her up were all of extraordinary status, especially the leader, Lord Zhongqi, who treated her with great respect and courtesy. He must be a top figure.

The journey was truly peaceful and the group was extremely alert, but they didn't even encounter a petty thief, which is quite rare in this world.

But when they were about to leave Qi, a strong wind suddenly blew up, sand and stones flew everywhere, making it impossible to see, there was thunder and lightning, and heavy rain fell from the sky. It rained for a full three quarters of an hour, and the road was muddy and impassable. We were delayed for some time because of the heavy rain, but other than that, no other accidents occurred.

When Zhongqi was approaching Xianyang City, he immediately sent someone to report to Yan Jin. Yan Jin had already prepared a residence for Gongsun Li, which was a quiet courtyard near Xianyang Palace. Not long after the group arrived in Xianyang City, Yan Jin was already waiting at the door when they arrived at the prepared residence.

Gongsun Li saw Zhongqi respectfully bowing to a rather dignified elder. The elder looked somewhat familiar, but Gongsun Li really couldn't remember who he was.

The two talked for a while, and then the elder walked to the front of the bicycle frame with a friendly attitude.

Gongsun Li hurriedly got off the carriage and said respectfully, "My humble daughter Gongsun Li pays respect to you, sir."

Yan Jin took a quick look at Gongsun Li and praised her in his heart as truly a peerless beauty.

He returned the greeting with his hands and smiled kindly, "Miss Gongsun, there is no need to be so polite. I wonder if you still remember me?"

Gongsun Li hesitated for a moment, then replied softly, "Please forgive my impoliteness. I can't remember it right now. May I ask your name?"

Yan Jin laughed and said, "It has been more than ten years. You were still young at that time, so it is normal that you don't remember. Do you still remember the assassination attempt that you helped in Handan?"

"I am the master's bodyguard."

Gongsun Li suddenly realized, and her vague memory seemed to become clear. She quickly apologized: "Please don't blame me, sir. I remember now. You are Mr. Yan Jin, right?"

Yan Jin smiled gently: "Miss, you have a good memory. You still remember my nickname. Yes, I am Yan Jin."

He extended his hand and led her to the courtyard: "Miss, please come in and talk first."

Gongsun Li bowed and said, "Thank you, Lord Yanjin, for tolerating my impolite behavior. Your Excellency is the master, please go in front."

Yan Jin didn't say anything too polite. He smiled kindly and walked into the yard. He felt a little better about Gongsun Li.

After Gongsun Li followed with her maid, Zhongqi and his group followed in.

Yan Jin brought Gongsun Li directly into the main hall. Yan Jin asked Gongsun Li to take a seat. Gongsun Li refused again and again, but Yan Jin insisted. Gongsun Li sat down upright while the others were busy cleaning up.

Yan Jin smiled and said, "I wonder if the young lady is satisfied with the journey? Did Zhongqi and the others serve her well?"

Gongsun Li nodded and smiled, and replied: "Thank you Lord Yanjin for the arrangements. Lord Zhongqi has provided all the necessary supplies along the way, and nothing is missing. Lord Yanjin, please thank Lord Zhongqi on my behalf."

Yan Jin nodded: "As long as the girl is satisfied."

"You must know that the person you helped in the past was the most respected and noble ruler of the Great Qin in the world today."

As he said this, Yan Jin respectfully bowed in the direction of the Xianyang Palace.

Gongsun Li nodded.

Yan Jin continued, "It was the King who sent me to invite the young lady to Qin. The King values ​​the young lady very much. Now that the young lady has arrived safely in Qin, I am relieved."

"After the young lady is settled, I will report to the king. Although the king is busy with government affairs, I believe he will summon the young lady soon. Please don't worry."

"You have been traveling a lot for a while, young lady, you can take a rest for a while. You can also stroll around Xianyang City on weekdays to experience the customs and culture of Daqin."

"Also, I have asked an old maid in the palace to teach you. After all, there are many rules in the palace, so please learn some etiquette."

Gongsun Li nodded slightly, hesitated for a moment, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Lord Yanjin, for arranging and taking care of me. I am very grateful."

"Please forgive me for being so rude, but I have something to ask you. Is it convenient for you?"

Yan Jin nodded: "Please speak up, young lady. I will tell you everything I know."

Gongsun Li said softly, "It's been a long time since the past happened. I have never thought of repaying a favor. Besides, it's not much of a favor. Even if it weren't for Grandfather and my brothers, with Master Yan Jin's high level of cultivation, those inferior assassins would not be able to hurt the king."

"I really don't know why the king summoned me. I wonder if Lord Yanjin could tell me."

Yan Jin smiled and shook his head: "Young lady, you are really too modest. You are indeed a gentleman who defends the country. You act chivalrously and do not ask for anything in return."

"I really don't know what the young lady is asking. As a subject, how can I speculate on the king's thoughts? I am just following orders. The king never said much, only asking that the young lady must be invited to Qin without any mistakes. The only thing I can be sure of is that the king values ​​the young lady very much."

"Also, I ask you not to worry too much. The King is a benevolent and holy monarch. The King will surely like your character very much. Your trip will definitely be beneficial and harmless."

Gongsun Li nodded and smiled gently: "I have heard for a long time that the king is favored by the saint. It is true that I have been worrying too much."

Yan Jin smiled and nodded: "In that case, I will take my leave for now. I still need to go to the palace to report the good news that the young lady has safely arrived in Qin." Gongsun Li hurriedly stood up to see him off, and walked him to the door, bowing and saying goodbye: "Master Yan Jin, please take your time."

Yan Jin returned the gift, mounted his horse and hurried to the Xianyang Palace.

Zhongqi and his group also finished packing, and now they came to say goodbye: "Miss Gongsun, the luggage has been packed, and Master Yanjin has prepared everything you need, including maids and servants. We still have official business, so we'll take our leave first."

"Qiu Zhi will secretly protect the girl for the time being. The girl is in Xianyang City, and with Qiu Zhi's protection, no one in the world can hurt the girl. If the girl needs anything, please tell the housekeeper."

Gongsun Li bowed deeply to everyone and thanked them sincerely: "I am very grateful for your care along the way. Thank you very much."

Zhongqi and the others hurriedly returned the gift. Along the way, everyone had a very good impression of this Miss Gongsun. Along the way, this Miss Gongsun was indeed a person of noble character, humble and polite, knowledgeable and righteous, gentle and kind to others, and considerate.

He does not keep a distance from others because of our unfamiliarity, nor does he look down on others because of his high position. He is truly a person of noble character and a kind-hearted person. It is like a spring breeze to be with him. Everyone admires and praises him.

Zhong Qi sincerely said: "We are lucky to meet you, it is a great honor. I wish you all the best, good health and success, and we will meet again if we are lucky enough!"

After seeing everyone off outside the door, Gongsun Li looked at the people coming and going on the street and suppressed her thoughts. In this Xianyang City, only Pu Yuan was with her.

I'm really tired after traveling so much this month. I'll take a two-day break and then go sightseeing in Xianyang City.

Xianyang City is really big, completely different from Sanghai!
Let’s talk about Yan Jin who hurried to Zhangtai Palace to meet Ying Zheng.

After Yan Jin bowed, he said, "Your Majesty, Miss Gongsun Li has arrived in Xianyang. She had a safe journey. I have already arranged a place for Miss Gongsun to stay. She has just settled down."

Ying Zheng nodded and said with satisfaction: "Okay, it's good when we get there."

"Did you have a smooth journey?"

Yan Jin replied, "In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, I sent two top-level secret guards and a dozen experts. The journey was safe and smooth, except for a few days of delay due to wind and rain when we first left Qi."

Ying Zheng nodded and said, "Okay, you have all worked hard after the journey. I will reward you well."

"I'm afraid this girl must have been through a lot on the way. Let her rest for a few days. I will summon her again in a few days."

"Tell her to relax and have a rest. Also, be sure to send someone to protect her!"

Yan Jin replied solemnly: "I obey your order. I have sent a top-level secret guard to guard in secret and will definitely keep Miss Gongsun safe."

Ying Zheng nodded with satisfaction. Yan Jin had made rapid progress over the years, and he was careful and thorough in his work, and he had never let him down.

"You met her, didn't you? What did you think?"

Yan Jin replied: "I just helped Miss Gongsun settle down. I only met her once. I can't say more about the details."

"I only heard from my subordinates that Miss Gongsun is smart and beautiful, with noble character and a noble demeanor."

"From what I have seen, he is indeed quite modest and polite."

Ying Zheng shook his head and smiled: "Okay, let's get busy first."

"My minister retire."

After Yan Jin respectfully withdrew, Ying Zheng slowly walked out of the hall, looked up at the sky, and raised the corner of his mouth.

When Gongsun Li heard the news from Yan Jin, she felt relieved and stopped thinking about it. There was no point in thinking about it, so she just enjoyed herself in Xianyang City.

I was very excited for several days. Qin and Qi are really different. Although Qin's industries are not as prosperous as Qi's, the people are simple and honest, the materials are real, and the people are peaceful and hardworking.

The nobles did not dare to bully the people, and the officials were honest in their work and kind to others.

No wonder the Qin State was so powerful. How could it not be strong if both the government and the people were righteous?

Gongsun Li had some respect for the King of Qin. This King of Qin, who was about the same age as herself, was really amazing. He had been in power at a young age and governed such a large country so well. It was really amazing.

My grandfather said that he had a bright future ahead of him, so his talent was naturally limitless.

Just when Gongsun Li was happily shopping on the streets of Xianyang with her maid Pu Yuan, someone from the Xuanyu Guard came hurriedly and said that the king would summon her tomorrow, and asked Gongsun Li to be prepared, as a eunuch would come to pick them up tomorrow.

Gongsun Li's heart tightened, but she smiled and thanked politely. She no longer had the heart to wander around, so she returned to her residence, sat in the hall, and stared blankly, holding the pendant tightly in her hand.

For several days, I have been trying hard to recall what the young master looked like, but I just can't remember it.

But everything is different now. That young master is now the most powerful person in the world. He is the king of Qin who holds the power of heaven. He is supreme and noble, and no one in the world can ignore his any move.

Even if there is still a little bit of favor, you must be careful with this king.
