The Moon in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 206 Qing Ke (Please read and vote~)

After Gongsun Li entered the Xianyang Palace, she found that life was quite peaceful and no one disturbed her.

The palace has all the necessities of life, including slaves and maids. Even if you want to go out of the palace to play, you can, but it is a bit troublesome.

There must be eunuchs and maids accompanying him, and secret guards to protect him.

Fortunately, it’s not that we are not allowed to leave the Xianyang Palace.

I have to say that the luxury of life in the Xianyang Palace surpasses life anywhere else in this life. It's a pity that there are too many rules, which makes it uncomfortable. The human touch is too weak, and everyone has a clear identity. It's not as warm and comfortable as home.

The King of Qin was very good to her and prepared a separate palace for her. This was good as she was used to being alone. From what Pu Yuan had heard, she knew that she was treated like a beauty in the King of Qin's harem and was an extremely favored one. The King of Qin was really generous.

He also often called me to eat and practice together.

I really can't understand why being a king would make one more tired and more hard-working.

The king is different from the senior brother. The senior brother is sometimes lazy and sometimes hardworking, but he is definitely not comparable to the king.

The king's daily life seems to be unbearably hard. His diligence and perseverance are truly admirable. No wonder he can govern such a large country in such an orderly manner. He truly deserves to be the legendary monarch favored by heaven.

The king also has one bad point. Uh, he seems to be quite fond of women. But that’s nothing. After all, he is the king. The king is destined to have no shortage of women.

And he is so good.

The Queen Mother was also very nice. She often called me to play with her. Mahjong was fun, as was chuiwan, and there were many other games. The palace was truly worthy of being a palace.

I also met Yan Dan. Since I was already here, I might as well make the best of it. I had already met the King of Qin, and since Yan Dan was also in Xianyang, there was nothing wrong with meeting Yan Dan again.

Yan Dan is no longer the same child as he was back then. He is now a hostage in Qin State, but the king treats him with great courtesy. His life in Qin State is much better than that in Handan. He vaguely remembers that he was more greedy than himself and his senior brother at the dinner table.

Yan Dan treated me very warmly, but when he heard that I now lived in Xianyang Palace, his eyes became a little strange. Although it was only for a moment, I was very sure of it.

In addition, I always felt that Yan Dan's behavior was a little strange, and there was always a sense of awkwardness.

Yan Dan is obviously handsome and dignified, but there is always a sense of disharmony between them. He has a temperament that does not belong to him.

It seems as if he is deliberately imitating the king's temperament and manners, but the imitation is totally insufficient, it's a bit like trying to draw a tiger but end up with the wrong look. It's probably like this.

It's too presumptuous to think so. I hope I'm wrong.

After all, the king has a unique temperament. The king is confident and proud, heroic and majestic. He has absolute self-confidence and the confidence that he can do everything. Everything is under his control and he can solve everything easily.

He has the courage to embrace the world and swallow mountains and rivers, the domineering attitude of being the only one and looking down on everything, and yet he is humble and kind. He is really like a flying dragon in the sky.

Anyone who has seen the king would feel that he is a sage king who is destined to be the king. It is only natural for a man like you to be the king.

It’s a pity that I have been in Daqin for two months. I really don’t know when I can go home. This is the first time in so many years that my senior brother can’t see me for such a long time. He must be worried.

Gongsun Li had a vague thought that she dared not have, that perhaps she would never be able to return home, and never, ever return to the State of Qi.

This was a thought that Gongsun Li subconsciously avoided, but she also knew in her heart that the King of Qin treated her so well, and he must not really be doing it just to repay his kindness.

High probability.
The King of Qin is an extremely charismatic great man. He has a majestic figure, is handsome and heroic, and can be described as having the appearance of a dragon and a phoenix. He is both civil and military, and has a noble character. He is also the most powerful man in the world. If we talk about the King of Qin's merits in detail, it would take more than a page to write them all.

But the King of Qin was too high, he was high above everyone else, he was both great and terrible.

I'm just a little woman and don't want to get close to such a person.

Moreover, he has so many women. I can’t imagine what the scene would be like with so many women competing for one man. Gongsun Li feels scared just thinking about it.

Senior brother is better. He takes care of himself in everything and can play with anyone. It is the easiest to be with him and you can enjoy the most ordinary and comfortable life.

The King of Qin, such a big man, who is destined to control the world, is not someone I should get close to. He is too dangerous.

Hope to go home soon.

As for Qing Ke, he has now gone through a series of colorful experiences including wandering around, challenging masters, making good friends, doing justice, drinking and singing, refusing to pay debts when he has no money, strangling bandits, going back to pay debts, taking the wrong road, and taking the wrong road again, and he has successfully moved up a few places on the Qingjun list.

After nearly four months away from home, I finally arrived in Xianyang City.

If we really rely on him to save people, it would be too late. Of course, it is also because he is not in a hurry.

Qing Ke is a playboy. He is chivalrous, generous, unrestrained, optimistic, and somewhat humorous and lively.

He possesses extraordinary charm, extraordinary chivalry, and extraordinary courage; he is not fussy about details and does not discriminate between high and low status. As long as they can get along, he can become friends with everyone. To be his friend, you can trust your back to him. He will never hesitate to take risks for his good friends, even at the risk of his life.

Such a prodigal son can be generous and tragic, and can face death with equanimity, but he will never be a qualified family member.

Because the prodigal son has no home.

And he was an alcoholic.

When Qing Ke arrived at Xianyang City, he was dusty and unkempt, but he was in very high spirits. Along the way, he had a very good impression of the Qin Dynasty.

In other countries, beggars can be seen everywhere in any big city. As for the nobles bullying men and women and acting recklessly, it is even more common.

But in the Qin Dynasty, there were no beggars, and it was even more impossible for aristocratic officials to run rampant on the streets.

The people were honest and warm, the officials were clean and capable, and the nobles were modest and low-key. People said that the Qin Dynasty was fierce and fierce, but this was only to the outside world. Internally, as long as they did not break the law and worked hard, the peace of ordinary people was much better than that of the six states in Shandong.

Although it is hard, in this world, it is a blessing to be able to live a peaceful life just by doing hard work.

In the past, when Mengchangjun passed through the State of Zhao, Pingyuanjun of Zhao treated him as a distinguished guest.

When the people of Zhao heard that Mengchangjun was a virtuous man, they all came out to see him. When they saw him in person, they saw that he was short and laughed at him, saying, "We thought Mengchangjun was a big man, but now we see that he is just a skinny little man."

When Mengchangjun heard the mocking words, he got off the car in a rage. His followers followed him and killed hundreds of people, destroying an entire county before leaving.

Even so, Mengchangjun was considered benevolent enough among the nobles. One can imagine what kind of people the other noble officials were.

After entering the heartland of Qin, Qing Ke didn't even have the chance to act as a hero. The Qin State was truly peaceful, and ordinary people would help each other when they encountered thieves.

Of course, Qing Ke was also dissatisfied. That was because the Qin Dynasty's management was too strict. Even though he was a foreigner and many things were beyond his control, the rules and regulations for foreigners were extremely complicated and too restrictive, which was really unhappy.

The most important thing is that alcohol is also a controlled item in the Qin State, and people cannot drink it at will. This is really sad.

Fortunately, Qing Ke still knew the importance of the matter and knew that he had entered Qin for a purpose. He did not dare to act recklessly in Qin and knew to abide by Qin laws.

Although Qing Ke had a good impression of the Qin State, he was absolutely unwilling to live in Qin.

It's so unpleasant.

When Qing Ke arrived in Xianyang City, he was extremely excited. On the one hand, he could see his junior sister again. He hadn't seen her for nearly four months. This was the first time in more than ten years. He really missed her.

On the one hand, Xianyang City is really lively. I wonder if there are any masters I can make friends with. Now that Qin is the strongest of the Seven Kingdoms, there must be many masters in Xianyang City!

Come to think of it, this is the first time I’ve seen a city without walls, and it’s the capital!

With such confidence, the Qin State must have a strong military spirit. If the army is not strong and there are not many experts, how could the Qin State dare to be so arrogant?

But the excited Qing Ke now encountered the first fatal problem.

He has no money.

Apart from a sword and a skinny horse, he had no other property.

He brought a lot of money with him when he went out, but he always treated money as nothing and had no concept of money. He lived day by day and spent money everywhere along the way. Now, he was left with nothing.

Qing Ke scratched his head, which was like a chicken coop, and was at a loss. A penny can make a hero fall. It is not easy to live in Xianyang. Without money, it is impossible to take a single step.

As for stealing, robbing, cheating, and deceiving others, Qing Ke would never do that.

He prayed silently in his heart, hoping that his junior sister had money, otherwise it would be difficult to bear. It would be okay to be hungry, but it would be really uncomfortable to have no money to buy wine.

While Qing Ke was asking around for Gongsun Li, he had already been targeted by someone from the Xuanyu Guard.

This man is so suspicious. He is dressed in rags and has unkempt hair, but his cultivation is quite good. He keeps asking about things in the palace. What does he want to do?
After the secret guard called for help, everyone rushed forward immediately. Although Qing Ke had been hungry for a day, his cultivation was still good. The reinforcements from the Xuanyu Guards were not really high-level masters, so they were unable to capture him for a while. The group was in a stalemate. Qing Ke didn't know what was going on, so he asked hurriedly:

"Everyone, I have just arrived in Xianyang. I wonder how I have offended you? Is there any misunderstanding?"

The leader of Xuanyu Guard is a master of 2500 men. Xuanyu Guard is called a thousand-man leader, which is already a middle-level leader of Xuanyu Guard.

He opened his mouth and shouted sternly, "I am the captain of the Black Feather Guard. The Black Feather Guard is responsible for arresting and convicting criminals. You, a foreigner, surrender immediately and cooperate with the Black Feather Guard's investigation. Once the investigation is complete, if you are truly innocent, we will release you. If you continue to resist, the Black Feather Guard has the right to kill you without mercy."

Qing Ke quickly replied, "My Lord, this must be a misunderstanding. I just arrived in Xianyang today to look for my relatives. I have absolutely no bad intentions. Please understand clearly, my Lord."

"In this case, you can rest assured that the Black Feather Guard will never wrongly accuse anyone. Please put down your sword and cooperate with my questioning."

Qing Ke felt that the Qin officials were very good and reliable. After hesitating for a long time, Qing Ke put his sword back into its sheath and slowly placed it on the ground. The secret guards at the side slowly stepped forward, carefully took Qing Ke down, pressed his acupoints, and tied up his upper body.

The captain secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This man was quite skilled in martial arts. If he resisted stubbornly, even if they could capture him, their brothers would probably suffer some casualties.

I let down my guard a little. This person surrendered himself, so it seemed that there shouldn't be any big problem. However, I still had to investigate him in detail.

After bringing Qing Ke back to Xuanyu Guard for detailed questioning, Qian Chang adopted a serious attitude.

This matter needs to be reported.

Commander Zhongqi was ordered to personally bring back a noble lady from Qi State. Now the noble lady has entered the palace, and this noble lady must be extremely noble. The standards of Lord Zhongqi's reception were really too high.

Now that this noble man's senior brother has come to look for his relatives, this matter is no longer something that a small captain like us can decide.

The matter of Qing Ke was reported up the chain of command until it reached Yan Jin.

Yan Jin hesitated for a moment, and asked his subordinates to entertain Qing Ke well first, but also not to let him run around freely.

This Miss Gongsun must be the king's concubine. She has not been canonized yet, and I don't know what the king is trying to do, but the result is inevitable.

The king thinks highly of this Miss Gongsun.

But now that Miss Gongsun, my childhood sweetheart, has come to visit, it may not be appropriate to deal with this matter directly. As for how to deal with it specifically, I should report this matter to the king and then see what the king thinks.

This person didn't look smart back then, and now he seems a bit stupid.
