A Romantic Story of a Girl from the Qin Dynasty

By the time Li Mu was released from prison, the Zhao State had long been in a different situation. The loss of a large territory made him heartbroken, and the court was even more chaotic. Some ministers who saw the decline of the Zhao State left in time to find another way and defected to other countries, and Guo Kai has been secretly communicating with the Qin State for a long time, and the Qin State has long had a panoramic view of Zhao State's every move. Now that they are all in power, Li Mu can no longer turn the tide!

The one who makes her heartache the most is Li Xi. Her temperament has changed drastically since she entered the palace! I originally thought that she understood her and could persuade him in front of the king to work hard and put the governance of the country first, but now the adopted sister I saw in front of me has become what everyone calls a demon concubine!

She seemed to have given up on her miserable life, but she did not let others control her and drift in the wind. She and Zhao Yan lived in intoxication all day long, and Zhao Yan was so fascinated that he abandoned the country. The Qin army attacked for the third time, and Zhao Yan knew that he was powerless. He resisted and directly ceded a large area of ​​land to Qin. This was unacceptable to Li Mu, who had always been strong. In anger, he actually fell ill.

"My brother was not sick in prison. Why did he fall ill after he was released from prison?"

Li Xi held the medicine bowl and looked at his pale face and lack of energy, feeling sad and distressed.

"Brother, please take the medicine. If you don't take it, how can you feel better?"

Li Xi came to visit her house. Now her only thought was of Li Mu. If it weren't for him, she would have died long ago! Spending all day with a man she doesn't love and having to be docile and low-browed in front of him is like a year for Li Xi. She hopes to return to Yanmen with all her heart, but such a wish will never be realized in this life.

"Why did you become like this? I heard that you conspired with Guo Kai to persuade the king, so that I did not catch up with the battle against Qin. Don't you know that I hate Guo Kai and want to cut out his heart and liver?! "

Li Mu's words were slightly harsh, but Li Xi just smiled, took a spoonful of soup and said

"The efficacy of the medicine will be reduced by half when it cools down..."

"Is what those people outside said true? Are you and Guo Kaihang colluding?"

"Brother, people have to bow their heads under the eaves! Brother, don't you even understand this truth?! If the monarch wants you to work hard for Zhao, you have to work hard! If you want to put you in jail, put you in jail. If I demote you to Yanmen, I will demote you to Yanmen! This... bullies are not bullies like this! Don’t you hate it, brother?! The king is not suitable to govern the country. This Zhao country will die sooner or later. Other ministers know why When is the time to advance, when is the time to retreat! Now that the Qin State is under your nose, these ministers have disappeared long ago! Why do you still insist on defending the Zhao State?! The Zhao State is not worth it! The king of the Zhao State It’s not worthy of allegiance either! Why...don’t you understand?!”

Li Xi spoke softly and smiled a little sadly.

"I heard that even Guo Kai has prepared an escape route and is planning to run away while Zhao is still alive! Brother... we also..."

Li Xi's remarks aroused Li Mu's anger. He pushed the medicine bowl in front of him hard, and the medicine was scattered all over the floor. Li Mu looked at Li Xi coldly with eyes that hated iron and steel. said

"Loyal ministers have nothing to do with the two masters! Don't you understand this truth?! What's wrong with me being loyal to my country?! If you had known that I brought you back, you would have such dirty thoughts! I, I might as well You abandoned it!"

Some sharp words made Li Xi burst into tears. She shed tears and smiled bitterly.

"Brother, you and I have been relying on each other for many years. Don't you still understand who I am? You clearly know my friendship for you, but you always turn me away. Do you know that I accompany the king who I don't love day and night? What does it feel like?! If it weren't for you, my brother...I would have committed suicide with a white silk scarf! Now that the Zhao country is in danger, what's wrong with me wanting to escape to another country with my brother to save my life?! Could it be that...in my brother's eyes, I am just... Are you the one who covets glory and wealth?"

"As long as I have one breath, I will not leave the State of Zhao! Now the important officials in the imperial court only know how to protect themselves, and they don't even care about the survival of their own country! They can do it! I, Li Mu, can't do it! As long as I have one breath, I will still I will lead troops to fight against the Qin army! No one can persuade me! Although the king is not like a king! But I, Li Mu, am also a dignified man who is loyal to the king and the country! How can I compare with those villains?!"

Li Xi saw Li Mu turning sideways and no longer looking at him, putting down the medicine bowl with tears in her eyes. He saw her crying and laughing at the same time, and her words contained unspeakable helplessness and sadness.

"Brother, don't you want to see Shikiya again? I'm afraid this wish will soon come true."

Li Xi wiped away his tears and raised a smile. Seeing that Li Mu didn't look back, he felt even more sad.

"It is said that the king of Qin personally led the troops to the expedition this time, probably because he wanted to conquer Zhao in one fell swoop. If the prince personally led the troops, his beloved queen would probably go with him."

"How do you know? Who told you!"

Speaking of Shimi and Ying Zheng, Li Mu sat up again. He saw Li Xi's eyes were red and asked again

"How do you know about Qin's affairs!"

"Now that the country is in ruins, I have nothing to worry about. Guo Kai has been secretly communicating with Qin for many years, and he has informed Qin of Zhao's every move. Otherwise, do you think the timing of Qin's every attack is just right? It turned out that the Qin State, who had figured out every move of the Zhao State, was bound to win when they came back, but it was because my brother was too strong that he blocked them back!"

Li Xi did not tell the truth. After the showdown with Guo Kai, she also collaborated with Guo Kai and passed the secrets of the Zhao State to the Qin State. She wanted to destroy the Zhao State, which she deeply hated! Only when Zhao is destroyed can he escape from this suffocating life! Only when the Zhao Kingdom is destroyed can he and Li Mu go to a new country and start a new life!

But because of this, Li Xi, who wanted to use ruthless means, and who longed for Li Mu's love and care, forgot about the meaning of overturning the nest without leaving the eggs!

The Qin State sent troops this time, personally led by Ying Zheng, to attack the Zhao State on a large scale for the fourth time. Ying Zheng had made full preparations, and before he even went out to fight, he saw himself returning victoriously! At that time, the whole country will be celebrating!

"I want to go on an expedition with you, how about it?"

When Shiya offered to attack Zhao together, Yingzheng was naturally surprised.

"How can I bring the queen with me to this war? Isn't it a joke to other countries?"

"No way! Then you should be the first king to fight a war and bring a queen! Maybe other countries will follow suit in the future!"

"This attack on Zhao is very important. Zhao has only one breath left. I absolutely cannot make any mistakes at this moment. The force gathered in this attack is unprecedentedly huge. It is really inconvenient to take you with me..."

"Since I came to Qin, I have never been separated from you. Now that you are leading troops to attack Zhao for the first time, I naturally want to accompany you. You can march with peace of mind and don't worry about me. I will protect myself."
