A Romantic Story of a Girl from the Qin Dynasty

Ying Zheng was a little tipsy tonight, Shimi saw that his cheeks were slightly red, and his smile was not ordinary. This kind of unguarded and carefree smile was rarely seen anymore.

"You haven't spoken a word all night, and you haven't left the camp to celebrate. Do you have something to tell me?"

After being drunk, Yingzheng was very perceptive and could tell at a glance that Shimiya had something on his mind.

"what's up?"

He smiled and sat down next to her, holding her in his arms.

"It's nothing important. It's just that your big celebration tonight shouldn't delay the important event."

"No, no, no... everyone is tired from fighting for days. It doesn't matter if we celebrate a little bit."

Ying Zheng stroked Shimi's hair and asked again

"If you have anything to say, just say it... The way you hesitated tonight is not like you at all."

"This……"

Shimi was held in Ying Zheng's arms, still a little hesitant, but before she could make up her mind to say it, Ying Zheng asked with a smile.

"You want to ask about Li Mu?"

Ying Zheng smiled a little freely, and seemed to clean up his muddy cuffs indifferently, turned his head and stared into Shimi's eyes, and asked again

"You want me to spare his life, don't you?"

Caught firmly by his eyes, Shimiya couldn't dodge at all. Although there was a slightly frivolous smile on his face, his eyes always showed a trace of murderous intent.

"I……"

"I know you have been thinking about this all the way. From the time you left Xianyang to now, you have not mentioned Li Mu once. The more you don't mention it, the more I know you care about it."

Ying Zheng's eyes examined Shimi's eyes, as if hoping to find a glimmer of truth in her eyes.

"It's impossible...is it?"

Her slightly sad eyes made Ying Zheng sober up.

"Of course you can't..."

Ying Zheng let go of Shimi's arms and returned to his normal appearance.

"Now he is leading the Zhao army to fight to the death against the Qin army. If it weren't for him, I would have conquered Zhao long ago! How could I spare him for making me work so hard!"

"but……"

Ying Zheng smiled again and said

"If he is willing to surrender to Qin with Zhao soldiers, I can spare him!"

This sentence is a little redundant. Shimi understands that Li Mu is a human being. Even if he is the only one left in the battle at the end, he will never surrender!

"So...if we conquer the Kingdom of Zhao, can we spare the people in the city?"

Ying Zheng nodded.

"I came to attack the city and capture the Kingdom of Zhao, not to massacre the innocent people in the city. Even if you don't say it, I understand... I have given an order that anyone in the city who surrenders will be allowed to live. If any soldiers dare to kill indiscriminately, If you are innocent, you will be punished severely!"

On the night when the last city of Zhao Kingdom was captured, everyone seemed to have something on their mind, including Shi Mi and Wang Jian. He hid his sadness in his heart, but was still captured by the people closest to him.

"Are you still sad about Shi Yi?"

Wang Yi saw him sitting aside without saying a word, as if he was thinking about the march.

"Tomorrow we will attack Handan. You are about to fight Li Mu. How can you still think about the love between your children?"

Wang Jian said calmly

"The king said that if I capture Zhao, he will agree to my request. I have asked him a few days ago. When I win the world for him, he will be the co-owner of the world. Until that day... I will resign and retire, and will no longer be involved in the affairs of the court."

Wang Yi was not surprised. He sat not far away and looked at Wang Jian, as if it was the first time since he was born that he was observing him seriously.

It's not that he didn't know the life Wang Jian wanted. Even though he used his father's authority to force him to assist Ying Zheng, his heart still longed for freedom.

"Is it because of Shi Yi's death that you have such a plan?"

Wang Yi coughed lightly and felt a slight sweetness in his throat. He looked at Wang Jian and found that the candlelight around him was a little hazy.

"This is the life I have always longed for. Originally... I wanted to see the whole world with Shi Yi."

Wang Jian looked at his old father not far away. Today, Wang Yi has gray hair and skinny bones. It was only at this moment that Wang Jian realized that his father was so old. He looked like an ordinary little old man. Although he was thin, he was full of energy. Why did he look a little tired now?

"Father, you don't like Shi Yi, right? Even if she dies, you don't like her, right?"

"I don't dislike her."

Wang Yi took a sip of tea and said

"You have always thought that I dislike Shi Yi's humble birth. How could your father be someone who dislikes the poor and loves the rich? When I say I don't like it, I mean that I don't like her cunning and insistence on her own way. This kind of recklessness that does not consider others will sooner or later drag her down. Yours. That's all I'm worried about. If she is sensible and knows how to advance and retreat, how can I not like her? Why should people be restricted by their status? It's just... I didn't expect... this child would be so fateful Thin……"

Seeing that Wang Jian was silent, Wang Yi asked

"Do you hate me for this? Do you hate me for delaying you?"

"no……"

Wang Jian shook his head

"She and I have not achieved enlightenment and have no connection. How can I resent others."

"Are you confident about attacking the city tomorrow? If you are still in the same state of mind tomorrow, something will go wrong!"

"child……"

Wang Yi put down the tea cup and walked up to Wang Jian. He held Wang Jian's hand tightly and said

"I know that you are in pain. I know that you have reached this point without any volition. It was because of your father who forced you. But... the world needs you more than the love between children. You look at the melee between the seven countries now. It goes on and on, but there must be a capable person, someone who can lead the seven kingdoms. Do you know? The king you are assisting now is a person with this ability! And you... will help him step by step to become the leader of the world. position, this is your mission, you can’t shirk it..."

Wang Yi's eyes were a little moist. He looked at the heartbroken Wang Jian and naturally felt uncomfortable.

"When that day comes, you can choose your own life to your heart's content. But Shi Yi... the two of you are destined to be in love, destined to be destined to be in love. If she were here... how could she bear to see you so sad for her? ?”

Wang Jian held his father's hand tightly, feeling the rough skin and texture of his palm. Although he was sad because of Shi Yi's tragic death, he also understood that the most important thing at the moment was the future of Qin.

"You have always been my proud son. I never said such things before because I was worried that you were too conceited. Now... you have grown into a man who is upright and upright. As a father, I have always wanted to see you wearing battle armor. Now that I have seen the majestic appearance of marching and fighting, I feel relieved. Now that I have seen the scene of the capture of Zhao State... Speaking of which, I have no regrets in this life!"

Wang Yi patted Wang Jian's thick shoulder and said

"My child, please rest early. The future of Qin is in your hands!"

In the early morning of the second day, it was slightly bright. When Wang Jian went to the camp to wake Wang Yi up, he found that he had already lost his breath.

Wang Yi died on the night before Zhao was destroyed. He did not die on the battlefield, and he did not die with great vigor. In his last days, he was like an ordinary little old man sleeping in a warm bed and having sweet dreams. In his dream, he saw Qin's strong and prosperous future. With good wishes for Qin and Wang Jian, he died with a smile on his face...
