A Romantic Story of a Girl from the Qin Dynasty

"Wait a minute!"

Shimi struggled in the air, but Li Mu didn't seem to react yet. He hugged her tightly with one hand and warned her nervously.

"You shouldn't be someone who would seek death and live for trivial things, right?!"

"I'm not going to die! How could you tell that I wanted to jump into the river?"

Shimiya wanted to put aside Li Mu's arm around his waist, but found that this man was too strong and could not be shaken at all. He had no choice but to flutter with his feet in the air.

"I, I'm going to be strangled to death by you!"

After saying that, Li Mu finally reacted.

"Aren't you going to jump into the river?"

"My shoes fell into the river. Just now I was thinking about how to fish them up, but now that you've stirred them up, my shoes have floated away!"

Shikiya pointed to the shoes that had already sailed away.

After knowing that he had misunderstood, Li Mu hurriedly put it down and saw her bare right foot stepping on the slightly muddy road, looking angry but speechless.

As a general of the Zhao Kingdom, Li Mu has lived for more than thirty years. He has never encountered such an embarrassing thing. He misunderstood other people's thoughts. In the moment of panic, he lost his sense of propriety.

Li Mu showed an embarrassed expression for the first time and said rather embarrassedly

"I'm so sorry...I thought you were lonely in Zhao country and couldn't think about it..."

"I'm not going to commit suicide because of these things, right? Besides, when someone pulls it out of the river, it will be completely changed. I don't want to die in such an ugly way!"

When Shimi saw the troubled look on his face, he didn't blame him. He had good intentions, so why was he wrong?

"But thank you for caring about me."

Li Mu saw that her bare feet were a bit miserable in the winter, and her toes seemed to be a little red from the cold. He hesitated for a moment before asking cautiously.

"I misunderstood what happened today. If it's convenient for the girl, I'll give her a pair of shoes? You can go to the store and choose for yourself."

"General Li is also kind-hearted. I accidentally dropped my shoes into the river. How can I let you spend money?"

Shimi waved her hands, and before Li Mu could respond, she turned around and started to leave. However, before she had taken a few steps, the stone-strewn road was a bit rough for her feet. She had no choice but to retreat to Li Mu and asked timidly.

"You just said you wanted to buy me shoes, are you serious?"

Although Li Mu thought her reaction was very interesting, he did not laugh at her and still nodded in affirmation with a sullen face.

"You ride on my horse, and I will go with you."

The two of them went to buy shoes together. When they left the store, Shimi smelled a sweet aroma, which was very familiar.

It's the aroma of syrupy water I've drunk before.

Seeing that although she didn't say anything, she was very interested in the aroma, Li Mu remembered that it was summer and invited her to drink it.

"Would you like to drink a pot of syrup to warm yourself up? It's also a way to apologize for what happened today."

Shimi, who was originally in a low mood stimulated by Wang Yi's words, urgently needs to find other things to distract his attention at this moment, so as not to think about those helpless and tragic things.

"okay!"

Without much thought, she agreed.

The syrup in winter has a different flavor, not as cool and refreshing as summer. The warm, sweet syrup healed Shikiya's confused and helpless heart. It wasn't until she finished a bowl that she felt her mood improved slightly.

"General Lee, will you forget Shimiya?"

Hearing this nonsense, Li Mu couldn't catch his breath, and the liquid in his mouth almost spurted out.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

He quickly wiped his mouth, not knowing what he meant. Shimi's eyes looked dim, as if he was worried.

He wanted to pick up the words he heard to comfort him, but these were not what Li Mu was good at. After thinking for a moment, he had no choice but to say something.

"I, Li Mu, don't have a bad memory, right?"

Shimiya looked at the gray sky outside, with many thoughts. As Ying Zheng went from spring to summer night, and then to the autumn wind, now he was about to spend the cold winter alone. He was so lonely and lonely until the end of his life. Everything will return to zero again, and she can't help but feel sad when she thinks that Ying Zheng will not remember her.

"Did you... encounter any difficulties? I heard someone mentioned that you don't seem to be playing the piano in the teahouse anymore?"

Shimi nodded and smiled helplessly.

"Brother Yan Dan won't allow it."

She took a sip of the liquid in her hand and said

"I don't know what's wrong with brother Yan Dan now. He always looks worried. She objects to anything I want to do, like playing the piano in a teahouse, which made him lose his temper. After several days, His anger has just subsided."

"It's probably because I'm not willing to give in."

Li Mu, who was originally taciturn, saw that Shi Mi was really lonely today. He originally wanted to ignore her and didn't want to talk to her anymore, but he saw that she was young and was alone in the Zhao Kingdom to keep Ying Zheng's promise, with only Yan Dan by his side. , thinking about it, I am also lonely and helpless, and I can't help but feel some sympathy in my heart.

I saw Li Mu hesitate for a moment, as if he was doing some mental construction. He took a sip of liquid to moisten his throat, and then slowly spoke.

"The country of Yan is now weak, and the country is in dire straits. If King Yan hadn't sent his prince to our country as a hostage, we wouldn't have just given up when we invaded Yan. You also know... King Yan The country will not be strong in the hands of such a king. Prince Dan knows this truth, but he is trapped in the Zhao country and has no intention at all. He wants to go back, but he can't. He stays here and does nothing. . Now that Zhao Zheng is not here, he is probably very unhappy. Therefore... his emotions are a little out of control. "

Do we have to fight? Do you have to fight to the death?

The answer to this question can only be "of course". Where there are people, there is competition, and where there are countries, there is killing. Let alone the seven kingdoms competing for hegemony. The kings of these seven kingdoms all have wolfish ambitions. They want to annex other countries, want to dominate other countries, and want to become the strongest empire! There is nothing wrong with this idea, it is just instinct!

"General Li, tell me, is it possible for Yan Dan to go back? Will your Zhao country let him go?"

Seeing that she was eager to get a recognized answer, although Li Mu couldn't bear to destroy her hope, he couldn't fabricate the facts.

He shook his head and said

"According to the current situation, if King Zhao had not personally proposed to send Prince Yan back..."

The topic suddenly became a little serious again. Yan Dan had been emotionally unstable for many days. He was under his strict supervision and had no chance to show off his talents. Now that Wang Yi told him such an outrageous thing, he was already Shikiya was in a bad mood and became even more depressed.

"I heard that you want to find something to do? But your life is tight?"

Li Mu asked, but he had already taken out a bag of silver from his sleeve and put it on the table, and said to Shimi

"I don't have much to take with me today. If you have any difficulties in the future, you can come to the house to find me."

Hearing what he said, Shimi felt even more ashamed and waved his hand to refuse.

"How can I ask for General Li's money? This is not my intention."
