King Zhao died and Zhao Yan came to power. It seems that the power of the Zhao Kingdom in the past is gone forever.

Although Zhao Yan is uneducated and incompetent, he also knows that he has no ability to be king. Nowadays, there are very few people in the court who support him as king. Although he is unhappy that Li Mu also loves Shimi, he also hates him for letting Shimi go. But now that the Qin army is attacking, how can we still talk about the love between children who have passed away many years ago! Only by entrusting it to him, this country may be able to survive for a while!

After being dismissed, Li Mu lived as a soldier for several years, unable to serve the country, and knowing that he was ostracized everywhere. Seeing that the disintegration of the Zhao State was imminent, but with no room for maneuver, he felt naturally sad and angry. In his depression, he was afraid of seeing the Zhao State. When the day of collapse came, Zhao Yan resumed his former position as general! And asked him to lead the army immediately to go out and kill Da Qin without leaving a single piece of armor behind!

Although he was reused again, Li Mu also knew that the dispute with Zhao Yan could not be reconciled. Shimi had returned to Qin for so many years without any news, and Li Mu did not know whether it was good or bad.

This time I attacked Qin, I naturally had mixed feelings in my heart!

He was walking alone in the market of Zhao State just like before. But now this market is not as prosperous as it used to be. The suffering, injury and fear of the people have all become fearful and uneasy because of the troops of Qin. .

Walking through this street that Shikiya had walked through countless times, he felt as if he had returned to the past. He looked at the old soup stall, as if Shikiya was still sitting there, talking and laughing with him.

Suddenly, he seemed to find a familiar figure, wearing a white dress, with his hair disheveled, hurriedly passing by in front of him...

Shikiya?

Li Mu was stunned and thought he had seen it wrong!

He rubbed his eyes and saw the profile of the girl not far away, looming under the loose hair. How could he remember this face wrongly? She is Shikiya! She lowered her eyes, lowered her head, and her steps were a little hurried, not knowing where she was going!

"Shikiya?"

Li Mu felt his heart beat faster and froze in place for a long time, not believing that Shiya would be in Zhao country! There's no way she could appear here! But, the person in front of me is indeed her!

"Shikiya..."

Li Mu followed her footsteps and took her arm. There was a bit of surprise in his voice, and he couldn't hide his surprise.

"Why are you here in Zhao country? Why are you alone?"

The woman seemed to be frightened. When she was pulled by Li Mu, she trembled all over, and then slowly turned around.

Her deer-like eyes blinked at Li Mu with a look of horror. Her confusion and doubts made Li Mu almost cry!

It's Shikiya! Even though we have been separated for many years, this face has never left my mind! Her appearance was exactly the same as before, without any change. Her frightened expression and puzzled look remained unchanged at all!

"Why are you here in Zhao country? Why...why are you alone? Where is Ying Zheng?"

When Li Mu asked this question, he realized that he was extremely stupid! How could Shimi come alone? Even if she didn't hate Zhao Guo, she shouldn't be alone! How could Ying Zheng let her fall into the trap again?

Li Mu grabbed her arm and looked her up and down, only to find that her hair was disheveled and her skirt was a bit shabby. It was not until this moment that Li Mu noticed that she was barefoot.

"You...what's wrong with you?"

"Shimi" didn't respond. She just stared at Li Mu with those frightened eyes.

Nowadays, the streets in winter are not a place to talk, not to mention that she was only wearing a single coat and her feet were bare.

"Come with me...we can talk about it after we get home!"

This girl, who looked exactly like Shimiya, was taken home by Li Mu without saying a word or resisting. She was like a puppet.

The former general's mansion was a bit less luxurious. Li Mu dismissed many servants, leaving only a few people. When they saw the general returning with a ragged woman, they were all shocked.

"You... go prepare some food and bring it to my room!"

Li Mu said and pulled "Shimi" towards the house, but just as he was about to take a step forward, he found that "Shimi" had stopped moving.

"what happened?"

he asked

"Shimi" seemed to be a bit unspeakable. She lowered her head and stood timidly, not daring to move.

"what happened?"

When Li Mu asked again, he realized that her feet were worn and bleeding.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry...I, I was so surprised to suddenly see you in Zhao Country! I completely forgot that it would be uncomfortable for you to walk barefoot!"

Li Mu apologized and picked him up.

"excuse me……"

Under everyone's surprised gazes, Li Mu carried this unknown woman into the house.

She was like an abandoned wild cat and dog. When Li Mu put her on the bed, she still didn't say a word and just huddled in a corner timidly.

"You...what happened to you? Why didn't you say anything? Why did you suddenly return to Zhao Country? Where is Ying Zheng? Did Ying Zheng send you here? You...had a quarrel?"

Li Mu had too many doubts and puzzles. Looking at the woman in front of him who was exactly the same as Shiya, he always felt that they were similar, but not similar.

"Have you forgotten me? I am Li Mu... We haven't seen each other for many years..."

"Shimi" hugged her knees with both hands and looked timid. She looked at Li Mu in front of her and the surrounding environment, and still said nothing.

"I'm going to see if the food is ready. You look like you've been hungry for many days."

Li Mu stood up and was about to leave, but she held him back.

"what happened?"

She looked like she was about to cry, shook her head, and held on to Li Mu's sleeves.

"You don't want me to leave? Do you want me to stay?"

She nodded fearfully, and it wasn't until Li Mu sat back on the edge of the bed again that she huddled up again.

The two of them sat without speaking. Li Mu looked at her carefully. After so many years, she was still the same as before. She had not changed at all, but her lively and cheerful personality seemed to have changed. She had become timid and... alert.

"Shouldn't you be in the Qin Palace? If you two reconcile, you should be Ying Zheng's favorite concubine! How come... you are in such a miserable state?"

"Shimi" ate the food in big gulps, as if she hadn't eaten in many days. Li Mu just watched from the side, arranging the broken hair on her cheek.

"Slow down... I still have a lot at home. If it's not enough, I'll ask someone to bring more!"

This encounter was filled with so much confusion and confusion that Li Mu couldn't believe it, but he had to believe it.

When night fell, Li Mu got up and prepared to leave again

"You have a good sleep, and when you recover, you can tell me what happened to you..."

"Shikiya" grabbed him and shook his head, looking pitiful.

"You told me not to leave?"

She just nodded.
