Qin Shi Huang: Swordsmanship begins with picking up Xiao Meng

Chapter 21 Jingwei's Repayment, Dongjun's Discovery

into the night!

"Send it back to Xianyang as quickly as possible!"

Changping Jun finally finished his day's work and handed a sealed scroll to the officer. After watching the latter leave, he chose to go back.

At this moment, Jingwei, who had been hiding in the dark to protect Changping Jun, came out and said:
"Lord Changping, do you know that Jiang Yu is no ordinary ranger?"

"Oh?"

Changping Jun raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

When riding with Jiang Yu, Changping Jun once tried to recruit Jiang Yu, but after Jiang Yu's clear refusal, he gave up the idea and only temporarily kept Jiang Yu to protect his daughter.

After all, he is just a knight with strong martial arts skills. Considering Changping Jun's status and vision, he is not an important figure. It would be best if he can be recruited, but it doesn't matter if he can't.

In addition, he was busy dealing with the political affairs of Chang'an Township, unlike Wei Wuji who had nothing to do before, so he really didn't have much time to waste on Jiang Yu.

"I once met him at Lord Xinling's residence. At that time, Wei Wuji condescended to address him respectfully as 'Sir' and gave him a seat of honor."

Jingwei knew very well how much Wei Wuji valued Jiang Yu. After all, don't forget how her undercover plan failed.

But now when he thought of this, there was no longer any anger at the failure of the plan in Jingwei's eyes. Instead, there was an indescribable emotion.

This is because Jingwei, who had no "heart" before, only cared about whether she could successfully complete the mission, and she could pay any price for it, including her own body.

But now!
Jingwei was actually somewhat relieved that the plan failed and thanked Jiang Yu for interfering.

"Is there such a thing?"

Changping Jun couldn't help but look surprised when he heard this.

Xinling Jun Wei Wuji, even though the two sides were enemies, Changping Jun still admired Wei Wuji from the bottom of his heart and believed that he was no match for him.

Otherwise, if they could have won the battle head-on, Qin would not have had to resort to dirty tricks to get rid of Wei Wuji.

Therefore, if Jiang Yu really received such attention from Wei Wuji, then he must have other outstanding qualities, which made Changping Jun feel that he had to reconsider Jiang Yu.

"According to my Luowang investigation, he should be the descendant of Taigong!"

Jingwei pointed out the direction for Changping Jun.

"After the grandfather!"

Connecting the two sentences of Jingwei, Changping Jun naturally understood the meaning.

That is, Wei Wuji took a fancy to Jiang Yu not simply because of his martial arts, but because of his extraordinary talent.

"If that's the case, then it makes sense!"

Because this is exactly the talent that feudal lords or wise monarchs such as Wei Wuji and Changping Jun value most.

It can only be said that Jiang Yu greatly underestimated the weight of the four words "descendant of Taigong". If Jiang Yu could include these four words before introducing himself, he would be looked up to wherever he went, including Changping Jun.

Just like Liu Bei in later generations, he always prefixed his self-introduction with "descendant of King Jing of Zhongshan" to show his identity as a relative of the Han royal family.

Of course, this identity only makes people look up to you when they first meet you. If you don’t have real talent, you will only become a joke and bring disgrace to your ancestors.

"Why are you telling me this?"

Changping Jun then asked with some doubt:
"Shouldn't we tell the Prime Minister?"

Luowang belonged to Lü Buwei, so logically, he should have reported any talent he had found to Lü Buwei. "Now Luowang is hunting him down!"

Jingwei recalled what Jiang Yu had said to her when he was trying to persuade her to break away from Luowang:

"He once said that the Prime Minister's ship was about to sink!"

After Jingwei finished speaking, he disappeared into the darkness again.

"Is the Prime Minister's ship about to sink?"

Changping Jun frowned. How did Jiang Yu come to this conclusion?
You know, in today's Qin State, the power of the Prime Minister is at its peak. Even the Chu faction, which has controlled the Qin government for more than a hundred years, now has to stand aside in front of the power of the Prime Minister.

Therefore, today's Lu Buwei can be called the uncrowned king of Qin.

This inevitably made Changping Jun more interested in Jiang Yu, and he immediately hurried back.

When they meet you, they will first throw out a shocking theory to you, such as saying that you are about to die. This is an old trick used by civil officials and counselors.

"I hope this helps."

Jingwei returned to the darkness and whispered.

As long as Jiang Yu can gain the attention of Changping Jun and be regarded as his confidant, Luo Wang will naturally have to think twice before trying to assassinate Jiang Yu again.

After all, it's just a sword, not worth it. Just like the Taoist Tianzong before, didn't they also have a famous sword in the top ten of the sword list? Why didn't Luo Wang try to snatch it?

Secondly, Jingwei felt that since Jiang Yu had approached Wei Wuji before, it meant that Jiang Yu wanted to enter the officialdom and seek a bright future, which was indeed much better than being a wanderer.

He also had a part in Wei Wuji's death. Now, he could use Changping Jun to make up for Jiang Yu. In addition, Jiang Yu's life-saving grace to Changping Jun would surely allow Jiang Yu to rise to a high position.

This was while he was serving in the powerful Qin State, which was much stronger than the weak Wei State.

"This is my way of repaying you for saving my life!"

Jingwei finally looked up at the starry sky, her beautiful eyes gradually became distracted, and the hand reaching out to her was gradually reflected in her pupils.

In Jingwei's heart, he really wanted to hold the hand that Jiang Yu extended.

But thinking of the horror of the net, Jingwei had to stop at his imagination.

In the original plot, Jingwei decided to rebel against Luowang because he had a daughter and wanted to prevent her from becoming the next her.

Now, Jingwei doesn't want to implicate Jiang Yu.

Because if Luo Wang just wanted to steal Jiang Yu's sword, with Changping Jun's help, saving Jiang Yu would not be a problem. In return for saving his life, there would be no need to pay too high a price. Changping Jun was also willing to protect Jiang Yu in order to gain a good reputation of repaying a favor.

But if she accepted Jiang Yu's help, it would be different. Luowang has always eliminated traitors at all costs.

Changping Jun has to carefully consider the pros and cons, and whether he is willing to go head-to-head or not, he has to protect Jiang Yu.

Even if Changping Jun is still willing to protect Jiang Yu, whether he can keep him is another matter. Facing the prime minister standing behind Luo Wang, Jiang Yu has no chance of developing in Qin.

Jingwei, who was lost in his memories, did not notice that in a shadowy corner, a little bird blinked and took in everything the two of them did.

This bird actually has three very special legs, and its whole body is black and gold. It looks very magical, just like the three-legged golden crow in mythology and legend.

The person who sent it was none other than Dongjun who was observing in secret.

After receiving feedback from the Three-legged Golden Crow, Dongjun murmured as if he had realized something:
"Could it be that this butterfly, like Taigong, has the power to influence world affairs? No wonder Lord Donghuang values ​​him so much."
