Chapter 326 Dawn before the battle
"Did you promise to give Yi Xin a pony for her birthday? And also asked Meng Tian to teach her how to ride a horse? Is this true?"
Shimi said, and Yingzheng finally remembered this matter. If Shimi hadn't mentioned it, he would have completely forgotten it!
"I really forgot! It's really..."
Ying Zheng held his forehead and then remembered that he had broken his promise to Yi Xin a few months ago!
"I've been so busy in recent months that I've forgotten all about it!"
He shook his head, helpless
"I broke my promise to her. That child didn't like to get close to me. Now is she even more angry with me?"
The two of them were sitting and chatting. Ying Zheng asked while eating. He was worried that Yi would annoy him, so he asked again.
"But she came to complain to you?"
Shikiya nodded.
"Then, tomorrow I will go to the stable to pick up a good horse and send it to Yi Xin! I have to come to apologize to this little guy. If I call Meng Tian together, Meng Tian will not be busy these days. If after this I'm afraid I'll be too busy for a while."
The two were chatting, talking about each other. After a long time, Ying Zheng asked
"Why don't you ask me about my attack on Zhao?"
He still couldn't help but asked proactively.
"How can it be that I alone have the final say on such a big matter? If I said no, wouldn't you stop attacking?"
"Of course not..."
Ying Zheng's temptation is obvious.
Shimi knows what Ying Zheng cares about. He cares about whether he will worry about Li Mu's safety, and is also afraid that he will ask him to let Li Mu live. But when the country is in crisis, Li Mu will never abandon Zhao.
"I received a report from the front that the two countries Yan and Zhao are at war. Now Zhao's rear is empty, and the main forces have been transferred out to attack Yan. If I don't take advantage of this moment to capture Zhao, wouldn't it be difficult to wait for such a good opportunity? Already?!"
"But the Qin army has just captured South Korea and is going to attack Zhao so soon. Will it make the soldiers tired? Will they be unable to devote themselves to the battle?"
"How could the old Qin people be so useless?! This is the first battle to attack Zhao. I plan to send Wang Jian as the main general and Huanjue and Yang Ruihe as deputy generals to take down Zhao in one fell swoop!"
Ying Zheng is full of confidence, the battle has begun, and there is no way back! It would be great if I could take advantage of Yan and Zhao's fight to wipe out these two countries in one fell swoop!
At this time, Ying Zheng never expected that the battle with Zhao would last for more than ten years!
He was immersed in the joy of his impending victory, drinking millet porridge from the bowl, picking up a piece of roasted mutton and chewing a few mouthfuls, and looked at Shimi again, looking like he was hesitant to speak.
Ying Zheng thought and looked at his lover in front of him. The queen of Qin was peeling apricots for herself. She lowered her head and only looked at the fruit in her hand without looking up at him.
As expected, she had not changed at all. She was exactly the same as when she first met her in Qin. It is said that a woman will have another face after giving birth, but Shimi still has the appearance of a girl. At this time, Ying Zheng was thinking about these ten things. In the past few years, she has never been sick once, not even a small cold.
Probably... it was caused by eating an unknown blood scab as she once said, right? Coupled with the Pisces jade pendant, maybe she will still look like this in her old age.
Ying Zheng thought about it and couldn't help but feel a chill. He wanted to ask the truth, but he didn't know how to ask, so he had to give up.
"You don't want to ask any more questions about Zhao Guo?"
Ying Zheng smiled a little stiffly and pretended to take two mouthfuls of porridge. Although his tone was casual, Shimi had already guessed what he was thinking.
"You want to ask Li Mu?"
She raised her eyes and handed the apricots in her hand to Ying Zheng. A pair of beautiful eyes looked directly at him, calmly and without any disturbance, but it embarrassed Ying Zheng who was constantly testing!
He didn't answer immediately, but said something without thinking.
"Tonight's mutton is a bit old. It's time to change the cook..."
"This is a newly born lamb. The meat is the most tender. How can it be old?"
Shimi spoke calmly and stuffed the apricot into Ying Zheng's mouth. The slightly sour fruit made Ying Zheng frown and swallow it indiscriminately.
"From the moment I sat down until now, you have always been hesitant to speak. Do you want to ask me what I think of Li Mu, who is about to be plunged into war? Do you hope that he will be safe? Do you hope that he can survive?"
Shimi's calmness left Ying Zheng speechless, so he could only smile awkwardly, and then immersed himself in picking up the remaining porridge in the bowl.
"Of course I want him to live."
From the beginning to the end, Shikiya never hid his gratitude to Li Mu, nor did he deliberately avoid the topic of Li Mu.
"Ying Zheng, let me tell you frankly, although there is no way to sort out the grievances between Qin and Zhao, I also know that your determination to destroy Zhao has no intention of turning back, and no one can control it. But you have to know that during the years I was in Zhao State, without Li Mu’s care, I would never have been able to sit here and have children with you. Indeed... Qin and Zhao have enmity, but Li Mu has a grudge against me. Well, there is no conflict with this. If you want to ask me whether I want Li Mu to die or live, of course I would want him to live! I hope he can escape the war between Qin and Zhao, and I hope he is not so loyal and can surrender to Qin. country, but I also understand...even if Li Mu surrenders, you will not let him live, right?"
The thoughts buried in his heart have long been seen through by the woman in front of him. Ying Zheng has no secrets at all in front of Shimi. This is terrifying to everyone, including Ying Zheng himself.
He naturally likes Shimi to understand his likes and irritations, but he also hopes that she will not see so clearly and leave him some privacy. But now that the war between Qin and Zhao is about to begin, Shimi has revealed what is in Ying Zheng's mind. .
yes! Even if Li Mu surrenders, the final result will be to kill him!
"He has a debt of gratitude to you and me. I am not an ungrateful person, but I cannot tolerate the loyal people of Zhao State living. Personally, he is my benefactor. As a country, he is my enemy. I can't stand it for a moment. I will neither forget nor be confused. As long as Zhao’s loyal ministers are alive, I will not destroy their country..."
Ying Zheng's expression changed from the embarrassment just now to one of oppression. He put down the bowl and chopsticks and suddenly took Shimi's hand and said
"Do you know what needs to be destroyed to destroy a country?"
Shimiya looked at his red and phoenix eyes, with the same sinister look as when he was a child, but now he has a little more desire for power.
"Destroying a country means not only destroying their dynasty, destroying their walls, and killing their soldiers. More importantly... destroying their beliefs. Li Mu... is the belief of Zhao!"
Ying Zheng slowly let go of Shimi's hand and gave an unexplained sneer.
"I love you, but if the general of the Qin State captures Li Mu and you dare to plead a word for him, my relationship with you will definitely be like smoke and never be found again!"
