A Romantic Story of a Girl from the Qin Dynasty

Liu Bang's scolding did not allow Shimi to retort, and the soldiers outside the camp were so frightened that they stopped and did not dare to move.

Because of Shikiya's words, the expectations and pressure he was carrying also took the opportunity to burst out.

"My wife and children are still imprisoned by Xiang Yu! I also want to beg you to help me rescue them. You still want me to help you restore the country! Please save it!"

When Liu Bang finished scolding him, he came back to his senses. Shimi didn't even refute a word!

Seeing her helpless smile, Liu Bang felt that his words were too intense, so they both fell silent.

"Sorry, I got a little excited."

Liu Bang wilted, and both of them stopped talking.

It was reasonable to be rejected. Shimi did not get angry with Liu Bang because of this matter. Instead, he said helplessly

"It's reasonable for you to be angry. If you agree to my request, I'm afraid you won't be able to become the emperor."

Liu Bang shook his head and sighed

"Qin has become your inner demon. Come with me..."

The two of them rode horses and walked slowly along the stream. It was already the autumn season, the weather was still a little hot, and the red maples in the forest were dotted with lush trees. They rode horses all the way, but Shikiya didn't say a word.

Liu Bang rode forward a little. He turned around and saw Shimi with his head lowered and silent. After thinking for a moment, he slowly spoke.

"Let me tell you something that speaks to my heart..."

He slowed down the reins and walked alongside Shikiya's horse.

Liu Bang looked at the still green pines and cypresses in the forest and said

"I am no longer the Liu Ji who was idle and doing nothing all day long..."

He smiled at Shikiya

"During the years when you lived in the high walls of that deep palace, I also changed a lot..."

Liu Bang, who was usually impatient and not serious, was speaking very gently and modestly at this moment, sounding like a literati who had read poetry and books.

"So a large group of brothers are following me, risking all their wealth and lives. I can't abandon them. This is not the behavior of a gentleman. As for Xiao He, you have seen that back in my hometown, I was still a bastard with nothing. When I was a kid, he favored me and saved me from life and death several times. I don’t know why, but he said that I have the appearance of a dragon and a phoenix... I don’t understand why he likes me so much. Xiao He can enjoy the favor of high-ranking officials. He is rich, but he turned away these things and just followed me in the uprising... I can't live up to his expectations."

Shimi didn't speak, just listened silently. Liu Bang patted the horse's back, laughed a few times, and said

"Big Fan Kuai, have you seen him? I have known him since we were children. He has always treated me as his elder brother. He listens to everything I say and never refutes. Whatever I do, whether it is right or wrong, he They all followed me, and now they follow me all day long in the mountains of swords and seas of fire, dealing with life and death all day long. You said... If in the end I give you the world at my fingertips, how should I face him again? "

Speaking of sensibility, Liu Bang sighed

"There is also Han Xin, whom you have never met. This unruly hapless guy has been depressed several times. At this age, he was recommended to me by Xiao He. He also put all his hopes on me. You said... I should How to repay their expectations? Not to mention my wife, you haven't met her yet, right? She is such a good woman! I, Liu Bang, have been blessed for several lifetimes to be able to marry such a woman! You have never had a good life since you gave it to me. You know that I have no wealth and no virtue. I asked her, a girl from a good family, to suffer hardships and hardships with me. Now she has been under house arrest by Xiang Yu for several years. You said... I can Aren't you going to save her? If she knew that her years of hard work would end with her husband making a wedding dress for someone else, tell me... how desperate she would be!"

Shimiya finally calmed down. What he said just now was indeed a bit extreme. Who would give up this world to others? You can't find one in the whole world.

"So...you shoulder the expectations of too many people, and you also have your own ambitions and ideals. Now that you have come here, no matter whether things succeed or fail, you have to give it a try, right?"

"Ha ha--"

Liu Bang smiled and said

"It's not that I don't care about success or failure, but I have to win! Shimi, when everyone was optimistic that Xiang Yu could win the world, I went in the opposite direction. They said no, but I still wanted to do it. They thought I was just dreaming, so I just did it. Let’s make this dream come true!”

Shimi looked up at the blue sky and realized that the Qin Kingdom could not come back. It had become history in an instant, and it really could not come back.

Two lines of tears fell slowly. Shimi sniffed and smiled helplessly.

"Do you want to be the master of this world? What kind of emperor do you think you will be?"

"An emperor like your husband Ying Zheng."

Liu Bang confessed

"I admire him and admire him. If someone asks me who I admire, I will only name one person, and that is Ying Zheng!"

"I didn't expect that the powerful Qin State would pass like this and dissipate in just a dozen years... I feel that from the beginning when I came here, from having all the beauty in the world to now having nothing, it is like a long journey. A dream that I will never wake up from and will last throughout my life.”

Shikiya smiled a little sadly

"Liu Bang, what if your country also perishes? What will you do then?"

Liu Bang was very calm, he said bluntly

"There is no permanent country, and there is no permanent power. You and I should both know this. I created a country, then it will inevitably go from prosperity to decline. This is a situation that no one can change. If this country is bound to will decline, then I hope that it will be strong when I can see it. I hope that the descendants who inherit this country can live up to the trust of all living beings. As long as he can do this, even if my country dies, There will be no regrets.”

At this time, Liu Bang sympathized with Shimiya. Although his purpose of saving her at the beginning was not pure, Liu Bang had never said these heartfelt words to anyone else.

"The fall of Qin is not your fault. You don't need to take these responsibilities on your shoulders. The prosperity of a country cannot be achieved by one person, so the demise of a country cannot be achieved by one person. These are not your fault."

He patted Shikiya on the shoulder and said

"Let's go back and stop indulging in these rights and wrongs. If Ying Zheng was still alive, would he be willing to see you like this? He also doesn't want you to live in self-blame all day long."

Liu Bang's words had some effect, and Shimi's mood improved a lot. She had nowhere to go. As Liu Bang's large army moved forward, he said that he was going to rescue his wife and children, and he also wanted to make a final break with Xiang Yu. In such grand words, Shimiya got to know a new person. He had never met her before, but he already knew her name.
