"You have something on your mind?"

Ying Zheng saw that she was reading so seriously that she didn't even notice that he had entered.

"These past few days, I have always felt stressed and panicked, and I always felt that something big was going to happen."

When Shimi saw Ying Zheng sitting down next to him, he also put down the book in his hand.

"I heard from Li Xin that you are going to send troops to attack Zhao again in a few days? Wang Jian just returned and sent troops again a few months ago. Isn't it too hasty?"

"I won't ask Wang Jian to lead the troops this time, I will replace him with someone else..."

Ying Zheng took a sip of tea and said

"I appointed Huan Jue as general, but I will not let Wang Jian go on an expedition this time."

"Why? Is it because Wang Jian didn't meet your expectations last time, so you replaced him?"

Seeing Shimi's excitement, Ying Zheng smiled and said

"It's not what you think. Although Wang Jian failed to achieve my goal, I didn't blame him. How could I deliberately not let him lead the army? It was because I wanted to find out what the strength of Zhao was. Although Huan Jian did not have Wang Jian He is so famous, but he is also a rare general in the Qin State. Don't underestimate him. I just want to know if Zhao State will let Li Mu go to war if I send troops to attack in such a short period of time. If it is really Li Mu... That proves that Zhao State has no other generals except Li Mu!"

Going out again in such a short period of time is not because Ying Zheng is impatient, but because Ying Zheng is deliberately testing him. No matter how invincible Li Mu is, going out again in such a short period of time will be a huge test, both physically and mentally. Besides, Li Mu is no longer able to fight. No matter how young he is, no matter how hard he clings to the city wall, one day he will be overthrown by Qin.

In order to save Wang Jian, Huan Jue led his troops to fight head-on with Li Mu's Great Wall Army. He was chased and beaten for a day and a night. If he hadn't been lucky, he would have been captured by those strong soldiers! Now that he was asked to lead the troops to fight against Li Mu head-on again, Huan Jue, who was considered a veteran, actually panicked.

But the king's orders have to be obeyed, and he is such a warlike king. If he is timid in fighting, he may be eliminated by the king before he even goes to the battlefield! When Huanjue heard that he was the main force in this battle, although he felt that the monarch's arrangement was inappropriate, he did not dare to refute, so he nodded in agreement.

The tug-of-war with the State of Zhao was raging. Almost all the generals of the State of Qin had gone to the battlefield. Even the youngest Meng Yi had followed Meng Tian on several expeditions. However, Li Xin remained on guard all day long. By the Queen's side, let alone going to the battlefield, there are not many chances to encounter enemies!

When will the monarch send me to charge into battle? I'm no weaker than Wang Jian Mengtian! Why do you ask me to guard the queen every day to pass the time!

When Li Xin heard that Huan Jue had been appointed as a general, he was even more anxious. If he missed the opportunity to make great contributions, wouldn't he be unable to get ahead in his life? !

Everyone has his own joy, everyone has his own sorrow, and Li Xin's gloominess all fell into Shimi's eyes.

"I see you've been feeling unhappy these past few days. Is there anything that's bothering you?"

Now that spring is blooming, it is the season of recovery for all things. The spring sunshine is shining warmly on the body. It was originally the season for laziness and snoozing, but Li Xin's face looks particularly heavy, and he who doesn't like to talk even more... Indifferent.

Shimi saw that although he was guarding himself, his soul seemed to have drifted elsewhere.

"No, Wei Chen is not worried about anything, making the empress worried."

Li Xin is an upright person, and his emotions and sorrows are almost all expressed on his face. How could Shimi not see it? She looked at Li Xin's solemn expression and saw that the sun was just right. She wondered if this child was in good time. In spring, my heart gradually longs for the love of a man and a woman.

"The weather is nice these days. How about you take a few days off and find some friends for an outing to enjoy the scenery?"

"No... no need..."

Li Xin repeatedly refused

"If you want to protect the safety of your empress, how can you be lazy and go out to play in the palace?"

"But……"

Shikiya said worriedly

"I see that you have a frown on your face. You look like you are worried."

Just as Zhu Cui came up to pour tea, Shimi glanced at Zhu Cui and asked in an amused tone.

"Li Xin, you are not young yet, but you are always by my side and you don't have time to have fun with people of your own age. You have been with me for many years, but I have never seen you get along with any woman. Could it be that...I am worried today Which woman are you thinking of?"

As soon as these words came out, even Zhucui was stunned, and Li Xin was so frightened that he waved his hands repeatedly.

"Empress! Wei Chen is not Sichun! Wei Chen... Wei Chen has no interest in anything between men and women at all."

Shimiya saw that Li Xin's expression was a bit too exaggerated. He was so young that he could blush when talking about women, which made him even more amused.

"But you have reached the age of starting a family. It is not a shameful thing to like a woman. If you want to marry the woman of your choice, just tell me and I will be willing to come forward and ask her about her wishes on your behalf."

"No, no, no! Wei Chen is not doing it for this matter..."

How could I like women! Li Xin hurriedly explained, his heart roaring!

I have never forgotten the bloody scene when you pulled the young master out from under me, all these years later! How could he still be interested in women! If I marry a wife and start a family, I would rather not see my wife go through such bloody hardships as giving birth to a child!

"Wei Chen is not here for women!"

Li Xin looked at the maids in the courtyard looking at him and snickering, and felt even more embarrassed.

"Wei Chen... I just feel that General Wang Jian Huanjue has already led troops on expeditions, and Meng Tian has been entrusted with important tasks by the monarch many times. Even that young boy Meng Yi can follow Meng Tian and lead troops many times, but... But I can only stay in the palace... I am really unwilling to do so."

"Oh~ That's it..."

Shikiya joked with a smile.

"Isn't it an important responsibility to keep me safe?"

"No! That's not what I meant!"

Li Xin was a little helpless

"It's just that men are supposed to go into battle and kill the enemy. I...protecting the empress is of course important, but Weichen also wants to defeat the enemy."

"There is nowhere to vent your ambition."

Seeing that the day of Huanjue's expedition was approaching, Li Xin had no intention of doing his job well. Seeing that there was no way for him to continue like this, Shimi had no choice but to ask Yingzheng to fulfill his wish.

"Li Xin wants to go on an expedition together?"

Ying Zheng had never heard of Li Xin having such a wish. Seeing Shi Mi speak for him, he found it even more incredible.

"Isn't it good for the boy to keep you safe in the palace? Why do you want to go into battle to kill the enemy?"

"At this young age, it is really boring to have a woman accompany me every day. If Huanjue is willing, can Li Xin be made deputy general?"

Ying Zheng thought for a moment

"But marching into the Kingdom of Zhao is not a trivial matter. Li Xin... can he do it?"

Seeing Shi Mi open his mouth to petition for him, even though he felt something was wrong, Ying Zheng still nodded and agreed.

"It just so happens that if Li Xin leads the army well this time, you might as well let him go on an expedition next time. Maybe he will be a good general!"
