"I am from Feixue Pavilion, and I hope to serve the young master."
The last ray of the sun disappeared under the horizon in the west outside Handan City.
The room turned dark. Yan Lingji carried a scent of fragrance and walked to the small table beside her. She knelt on the table, reached for the fire on the side and lit the exquisite jade-like oil lamp.
.
She met Gu Cheng's gaze.
In the light, the girl's focused bright eyes turned into two round and bright rare sapphires, which were also graceful and graceful. If a woman from the Central Plains is graceful and elegant, she is passionate and bold in her movements.
"In troubled times, my body is like duckweed and my heart is like a rock. I will protect my concubine up and down the Snow Pavilion. Those who enter the Qin Dynasty safely, go back with peace of mind."
Gu Cheng closed his eyes again and said softly.
This tenderness made Yan Lingji's heart tremble.
How wonderful it would be if, when Wu and Yue destroyed the country, there was such a prince who could turn the tide and save his people from the fire and water.
Unfortunately not.
"Thank you for your pity, Sir, but is there peace in the Qin Dynasty?"
Therefore, Yan Lingji knew that she had to rely on her own efforts to fight for a chance for the subjugated country to come back to life. She lowered her head slightly and said.
I felt pity for her voice, it was heartwarming, and in contrast to her previous enthusiasm, it had an irresistible charm.
However there was no response.
Yan Lingji was startled, and looked towards the bed, and saw that the young master's chest was rising and falling gently, and he was sleeping soundly.
She held her little hands and her expression gradually became ferocious.
You work so hard and you actually sleep
"Just sleep, no one is afraid of whom"
Yan Lingji's heart skipped a beat.
There is only one chance to sneak into the side of the Great Qin Master with the help of Feixue Pavilion. The opportunity mentioned by the King of Hundred Poisons has not yet been understood, and the inexplicable failure of the poison technique has not been found out. How can we back down?
Having made up her mind, she also lay down, testing the edge of the bed, turning her body left and right, stiffly closing her eyes, thinking wildly for a long time, and fell into a deep sleep.
"Ouch"
A burst of pain hit her. Yan Lingji subconsciously jumped up and touched the bridge of her straight nose. Only then did she realize that she had fallen to the ground. Even if it was a soft felt blanket, it would be very painful if it landed in the wrong place. It was already bright outside the window.
"I just slept like this all night."
She stared blankly at the empty bed in the room, the quilt still warm on her body, and felt incredible.
Since the destruction of the country, she had never slept peacefully. Unexpectedly, she had a dreamless night here and slept peacefully like never before.
"Where is Mr. Qin?"
Yan Lingji straightened her green hair and walked out of the house. Along the way, she saw that there were no maids walking around in the mansion, which seemed a bit deserted. It was not until she saw a girl in red sitting next to the young master in the hall.
From Yan Lingji's point of view, she happened to see her drooping head, slender jade neck, and white and delicate pink back exposed from the back neckline. She was waiting for the meal. Mr. Qin was holding a bamboo slip and was watching very intently.
.
Yan Lingji was not surprised by this. Not to mention the Seven Kingdoms of the Central Plains, even the patriarchs and princes of various tribes in Baiyue had countless wives, concubines, and beautiful maids to wash and change clothes. They didn't even have to move a finger to have everything in order.
In comparison, having only one person serving is very frugal.
Thinking of the indulgence of Baiyue's archenemy, Chu State, Yan Lingji felt a hint of admiration, stepped forward and saluted, "Young Master."
"You're awake, sit down"
Gu Cheng nodded slightly, keeping his eyes on the bamboo slips, but Kong Sang narrowed his eyes and glared at Yan Lingji with a fierce expression as if his territory was being invaded.
"snort"
Yan Lingji blinked her eyes and showed a provocative look. Not only was she not afraid, she was actually happy.
She prefers this kind of fighting to Mr. Qin sleeping directly.
"Madam is worried that after entering the Qin Dynasty, she will encounter danger again, isn't she?"
Gu Cheng put down the bamboo slips and asked about the unfinished topic from last night.
"yes"
Yan Lingji turned her eyes and said quickly, "My concubine, there are thousands of dancers, musicians, and servants in the Snow Pavilion. This is just in Handan. If the dancers from all over the world are recalled, there will be thousands more. Qin
The land does not value rituals and music. I dare to ask you how to arrange it."
As soon as these words came out, even Kong Sang looked thoughtful and immediately frowned.
Previously, everyone only talked about the number of dancers, but ignored the musicians and maidservants. To feed so many people, the expense is huge, which is simply unimaginable.
Then a problem arises. The Qin State is not like the six eastern countries. It does not pursue dance music as much, and it is impossible for the princes, nobles, and wealthy merchants of Handan to spend huge sums of money just for a seat.
Therefore, when Feixue Pavilion opened its doors to Qin State, there was even a risk of losing money.
Even Gu Cheng ignored this. After all, he did not accept Concubine Xue Pavilion for money. Now Yan Lingji mentioned it and raised his eyebrows: "What are your ideas?"
"I heard the teacher say that since the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty, rituals and music have always been valued. In the past, the Chu State had no worries about female widows and high music. The spring was white and the snow was white. It was me and other musical ancestors who passed down a kind of song and dance troupe to travel around.
He performs in various countries and is welcomed everywhere."
These are what the master of Feixue Pavilion said, and what follows is what Yan Lingji thinks about herself. "If the young master can turn Feixue Pavilion into a Feixue dance troupe, touring various countries, which is also diplomacy, and can also be escorted by the Great Qin cavalry, who would dare to do so?"
If they offend, hit them."
"Eh"
Gu Cheng couldn't help but look at him with admiration.
The four people from Baiyue have always been led by the King of Hundred Poisons and the Exorcist. Yan Lingji only knows how to follow orders. Now that she has no suppression, she has shown her ice and snow intelligence. She is more than just an eye-catching vase.
Although her ideas are still very naive, she is working hard to prove herself. Gu Cheng nodded and said, "The musicians don't need to convince people with force, but they can use songs and dances to influence them, carry forward the poems, dances and music passed down by the sages, and even conquer them without fighting."
Bing, you are fine"
“Thanks for the compliment”
Yan Lingji stood up happily, turned around lightly, and came to stand behind Gu Cheng, knowing that she had passed the first test and was able to successfully stay by his side.
"The guests are coming soon. You should also eat. Don't go hungry."
When Duan Murong walked in and winked, Gu Cheng nodded slightly. After finishing the meal, laughter came from outside as expected: "Young Master, not seeing you for a day is like three autumn days. We came here uninvited. I hope you will forgive me."
"Doctor Guo Kai, General Lecheng"
Gu Cheng stood up and saw Guo Kaile walking in proudly. In addition to his personal entourage, there was also a cynical young man holding thatch in his mouth.
Seeing Master Qin's eyes falling on him, Guo Kai raised the corner of his mouth and introduced, "Master, this is Jing Ke, a disciple of Lord Xinling. He is ambitious and brave, and will never tolerate injustice."
When Jing Ke heard this, he stared angrily, his eyes shining brightly, and his hand was on the hilt of the sword.
Whoosh
The figure flickered, and Gai Nie appeared, protecting Gu Cheng's side, looking at Jing Ke calmly, Jing Ke felt a shiver in his heart and looked away.
However, the purpose of deterrence has been achieved. Guo Kai laughed, eased the atmosphere, stepped back, and said straight to the point, "I have only one request here. How do you plan to get rid of Li Mu?"
