A Romantic Story of a Girl from the Qin Dynasty

Li Mu supported Shimi and wanted her to mount the horse, but Shimi stood still with a confused look on his face.

"What's wrong?"

Shimiya smiled awkwardly before saying

"I, I was frightened just now, and now I am so weak that I can't even climb on the horse's back."

Li Mu looked embarrassed when he saw this scene, and then hesitated for a moment before carrying Shimi on the horse.

"General Li, I'm sorry, I'm really bothering you tonight."

The two of them walked on the deserted street, Li Mu holding the horse and Shimi sitting on the horse, both speechless.

After walking a long distance, there was only the sound of horse hooves. Shimi felt that the two of them were too quiet, and instead there was an awkward atmosphere.

"Do you know who the person who wants to harm you tonight is?"

Li Mu finally spoke. This man cherished his words like gold and would never say much.

"Isn't the person who killed me today not Prince Zhao Yan?"

When it came to the prince, Li Mu spoke more.

"It was not the prince's fault."

"Why are you so sure?"

"Although the prince likes to cause trouble and is a bit naughty, he will never hurt anyone's life, and he will not go to great lengths to call assassins to kill you. If he really wants to kill you, why go to such great lengths? You have no power in Zhao State. It's as easy as cutting down a tree to kill you. If you want to do it, you can kill Zhao Zheng when he is far away, why wait until nightfall."

Seeing that what he said was clear and logical, Shimi also felt that it made some sense.

If not the prince, then who would be willing to take his own life?

When he arrived at Li Mu's residence, he called a maid to check for any wounds on Shimi's body, and sent someone to bring him a bowl of soothing soup. He left without saying much.

Naturally, he was safe in Li Mu's mansion. It wasn't until Shimi lay on the bed again that he felt at ease.

I wanted to recall the days with Ying Zheng, but my thoughts were confused and I fell asleep soon after lying on the bed.

It wasn't until the second day that Shimi woke up at three o'clock in the morning. It’s been a long time since I slept so deeply, maybe it’s been a long time since I slept so peacefully.

She saw several maids standing in the house. Seeing that she was awake, she came forward and shouted in unison.

"Miss Shikiya."

Shimi was stunned on the bed, his mind went blank and fragmented. She forgot that she had been in the Warring States period for a long time, and she also forgot about the shocking experience last night. It was not until the maid brought a basin and asked her to wash up that she remembered that she was already a person of this era, and that she had abandoned everything modern. Became a veritable 'ancient man'.

After breakfast, no, it can be said to be breakfast and lunch.

"Excuse me, is your General Li still in the mansion?"

I was so scared last night that I didn't even say thank you.

"My general is practicing martial arts in the backyard at the moment. If anything happens to the girl, please let me know."

"Do not……"

Shikiya quickly refused

"If something happens to him, how can I disturb him? He helped me a lot last night. I have to go in person and say thank you to him in person so that I can feel at ease."

Li Mu's mansion was quite grand, which showed that King Zhao valued him very much. He was generously rewarded with all kinds of houses and money. Shimi saw that there were only maids in the mansion, not his wife. But it is quite strange that Li Mu, who is a talented person and a famous general of the Zhao Kingdom, has not yet gotten married in his late thirties.

She followed the maid to the backyard and saw him waving the long sword in his hand. Each move was very majestic and powerful. The sword flowers he waved were even more superb, which made people admire him.

Shimi did not interrupt, but stood in the distance and waited until Li Mu finished practicing before stepping forward.

"General Li, I was lucky that you helped me out last night, otherwise... I might have died!"

Li Mu said nothing, but put the sword in his hand back into its scabbard, and then said

"What are your plans from now on? Are you still going to live alone?"

Shimiya frowned. She had to admit that she had underestimated the bloody turmoil of the Warring States Period. In this era, killing was prevalent. How could a little girl like herself live alone? ! It's really overestimating one's capabilities.

"I haven't thought about my future plans yet."

Seeing her worry, Li Mu asked

"The Crown Prince of Yan has made good friends with you, and Zhao Zheng has entrusted you to him. You can go to the Crown Prince of Yan."

"Yan Dan...he is also living in dire straits, and he wants me to bother him. Actually, it's a little hard to say."

Shimi knew Yan Dan's difficulties. Now that Zhao Zheng had returned to Qin, leaving Yan Dan alone in Zhao, how could he feel better?

Although Li Mu was taciturn, he also knew the reason for Shimi's hesitation. Seeing her lowering her head, he felt helpless.

"Although the crown prince of Yan State is serving as a hostage in Zhao State, his situation is different from that of Zhao Zheng. He is the confirmed crown prince of Yan State. No matter what, our Zhao State will definitely not harm his life. If he dies in our Zhao State, We will also have trouble in the country, so don’t worry, the Prince of Yan is safe."

Seeing that she was silent, Li Mu added

"Although Prince Zhao is naughty, he has never embarrassed Prince Yan, so you can rest assured that if Prince Zhao makes things difficult for you, Yan Dan will also come forward to intercede on your behalf."

"Yes, General Li's analysis makes sense. Now, in this moment of life and death, I cannot act recklessly. I don't know who wants to harm me, and I don't know if he will send another killer. Living alone is really dangerous."

After Shimi saluted Li Mu, he said

"General Li, Shikiya will never forget your life-saving grace last night! Thank you for taking me in for one night. It's getting late, so Shikiya will leave first."

Probably because she was worried that she wouldn't be able to save face and go to Yan Dan's place. Li Mu hesitated for a moment and said

"Just wait for me for a moment, and I will go with you to the Prince Yan's house."

The two of them were walking in the busy market. Li Mu did not ride a horse today, but walked side by side with Shiya. The two of them were not familiar with each other and had never talked about anything else. Seeing the crowds in front of them, the two of them were surprised. Seems a little out of place.

Shimiya wanted to find some topics to talk about, but Li Mu's serious appearance couldn't cut into any topics. He didn't even say a word along the way. It would be too difficult to chat with him!

The two of them also kept a certain distance. Seeing that Li Mu had no intention of chatting, Shimi stopped talking.

When the two of them passed a stall, Shimi seemed to be attracted by something, and she stopped.

Li Mu didn't notice. After walking a few steps, he realized that there was no one around him. He turned around and saw her standing in front of the stall, motionless.

"what happened?"

He walked closer and looked in the direction Shikiya was looking at. It turned out to be a small vendor selling syrup.

"what is this?"

Although he had been in the Warring States Period for several months, Ke Shimi still didn't understand the modern eating style. When he saw a person constantly scooping out spoonfuls of juice from the wine jar, he only felt that there was a sweet aroma, which made him feel happy.

"This is slurry."

"Slurry...what is it made of?"

"It's a juice made from rice."

Seeing her curiosity, Li Mu asked again

"Have you never seen that?"

"Yes, this is my first time seeing you."

Li Mu took out two cloth coins from his arms and said to the shopkeeper

"Please give me some syrup."
