A Romantic Story of a Girl from the Qin Dynasty

"no, I'm fine……"

When Shiya saw Li Mu paying for something for him, he quickly refused.

"I'm just curious, I don't want to drink it."

While the words were still on his lips, the bowl of juice was already handed to him.

Seeing the pure jade-white syrup, Shimi felt a little ashamed. Did he really want to drink it? Even Li Mu discovered it.

"You don't have to be polite."

Seeing Shimi's hesitation, Li Mu said again

“If you haven’t tasted it, it doesn’t hurt to try it.”

Seeing that he had already said this, how could Shimi have the nerve to refuse?

When I got close to the bowl of slurry water, there was a slightly aroma of naturally fermented wine, which smelled particularly like the lees of modern wine.

Shimiya took a brief sip, and a sweet taste flowed down his throat. Then, the aroma of wine filled his mouth, refreshing his heart and mind. Although this slurry tastes similar to modern sake lees, it is richer and more mellow, and the sweetness is more intense.

"The taste of this syrup is really good. I have been here for several months and this is the first time I have tasted something so delicious."

Shiya smiled at Li Mu and took another sip.

"This stuff smells like alcohol. If you like it, don't be greedy. It would be bad if you get drunk on the street."

The two of them broke the awkward situation of being speechless just because of a small bowl of syrupy water.

After Shimi was greedy, he went to Yan Dan's house with Li Mu.

Yan Dan was very surprised when he saw Shimi and Li Mu walking together. They hadn't seen each other for only a day. Could it be that these two people were already familiar with each other? Li Mu has always had difficulty communicating, so it was a strange sight to actually walk with Shimiya.

Although Yan Dan didn't know the purpose of their visit, he quickly greeted them.

"General Li is so lucky to be here at this humble residence. Please come in quickly."

But Li Mu didn't want to get involved in the matter between them at all. When he saw him, he shook his head and said

"I'm just sending her to your place, so I won't bother her too much."

Before Yan Dan could say a few more words, he walked away on his own.

Yan Dan looked at the direction Li Mu was walking and saw his figure getting further away, so he asked

"Why did you end up walking with him?"

Shikiya looked confused and replied in a low voice.

"Please tell me in the house."

The two were talking in the room, Shimi told Yan Dan what happened last night, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead!

"Do you know who the person who harmed you is? Is it Prince Zhao?"

Shikiya shook his head

"I also asked General Li Mu, but he said it was definitely not Prince Zhao. If he wanted to get rid of me, why go to such trouble."

Yan Dan thought for a moment and then said

"Not long after you came to the Kingdom of Zhao, if you have any grudge against anyone, it will only be Prince Zhao..."

He thought for a while and said slowly

"Could it be that...this person originally came to kill Azheng? I heard that he was going back to Qin and wanted to get rid of him!"

Shimi's neck felt cold after hearing this.

"It's really possible. Could it be that... that person was ordered to eliminate everyone in the house, no matter who was there?!"

Both of them knew very well that when Ying Zheng returned to Qin, he embarked on a more difficult and dangerous road. Whether the end of that road would be full of thorns or a prosperous road, everything could only depend on Ying Zheng himself.

This is a road to becoming an emperor, lonely but full of temptations. Ying Zheng can only move forward and never look back.

There was silence in the room, but Shimi was hesitant about how to say this. Ying Zheng's house could no longer be lived in. Being alone, no one could guarantee whether he would encounter such a terrible thing again. She thought about going to Peng Shuanglin, but this guy's situation was worse than hers. The tiles in the dilapidated courtyard were almost gone, and she was living a life of one meal and one meal. How could she bother him? Besides, ...Peng Shuanglin didn't want to be with others. After much thought, Yan Dan was the safest place.

Just when Shimi was hesitant and didn't know how to ask Yan Dan to take him in, Yan Dan spoke first.

"Your residence must not be safe now. The current situation is turbulent. It would be inappropriate for you to live alone. This time, you were lucky. Li Mu happened to pass by and rescued you. If there is a next time, could it be that Li Mu happened to pass by like this again? ?”

Yan Dan sighed and said again

"Although my residence is a bit dilapidated now, if you don't mind, you can move in with me. Since I promised Azheng to take good care of you, how can I let you be in danger?"

Yan Dan's words broke Shimi's embarrassment. She knew she was too thin-skinned to say this, but she didn't expect Yan Dan to take the initiative to invite her.

Seeing Shimi being silent, Yan Dan smiled helplessly.

"What's wrong? Do you think it's not suitable? Don't worry, I don't live alone. My breast milk still lives in the room next door."

"Where."

Shimi wiped his tears and felt warm. Yan Dan was kind and good at observing people's hearts. He must have known the purpose of his visit. He was afraid that he would be embarrassed to speak, so he took the initiative to mention it. His thoughts were really delicate.

Seeing that he was only two years older than me, but yet he was meticulous and thoughtful in his work and spoke well, I couldn't help but admire him secretly.

Yan Dan saw her blushing, crying and laughing, and didn't know why.

"What's going on? Are you missing home? Or... are you missing Azheng?"

Shimi shook his head and answered with a smile.

"Not really, I just feel that you are very kind to Yan Dan. I came to Zhao country with no one to rely on. If you hadn't taken such good care of me, I would have felt that this year would have been a bit difficult."

Yan Dan smiled a little shyly

"I'm a little embarrassed that you praise me so much. If you don't mind, you can call me brother Yandan. I have always regarded Azheng as my younger brother. Since you are in love with him, you are naturally my sister. Although life in Zhao country is a bit harsh, you and I...should also go all out and enjoy the hardships."

Yan Dan smiled

"It's really embarrassing to ask me to say these things."

He looked at Shimiya and suddenly saw a thin wound on her neck.

"Did you suffer last night?"

His expression was a little anxious, and he quickly got up and walked outside the house.

"I'll go find a doctor for you."

Shimi quickly grabbed him

"No need to bother, it's just a small wound. I applied medicine to General Li's house last night."

Shikiya's eyes filled with tears, feeling warm

"Thank you, brother Yan Dan."

Ying Zheng was still on his way to the Qin State. This time he had a bad start. Although the soldiers brought by Lu Buwei were carefully selected, they were unable to withstand the surprise attack by assassins. Although he lost a lot of troops, fortunately Ying Zheng lost a lot of troops. Zheng and Zhao Lijiang were fine, so this incident was a blessing in disguise, allowing him to meet two generals, Wang Yi and Wang Jian.

Originally, they arrested a few remnants and tried to interrogate who had done it, but these people were very loyal. Before Lu Buwei could ask more questions, they all chewed up the pills hidden under their tongues, took the poison and died.

This assassination also made Lu Buwei more cautious. On his way back from Zhaoxun Yingzheng, he had already guessed that something like this would happen.

It looks like the journey home will not be smooth sailing!

But now Lu Buwei has an even bigger headache, and that is Zhao Lijiang. Ever since he forgot about her because he was eager to save Ying Zheng, this woman has been showing all kinds of displeasure and temper, which has made him helpless!
