Chapter 86: The Chu Army's Retreat



After leaving Xuanzheng Hall, Li Yin was always worried.

Even Li Shishi felt a little nervous just now.

She never thought that she would be nearly frightened to death by just a few words from someone.

And that person was Ying Yuan.

Li Yin left the palace at a very fast pace.

Li Shishi followed closely behind him.

At this moment, both father and daughter wanted to leave this troubled place as soon as possible.

"Shishi, I'm afraid we can't leave the capital yet. His Majesty's words today have a deeper meaning. We need to inform your uncle as soon as possible."

Li Yin said with lingering fear.

Li Shishi nodded quickly.

The former continued, "His Majesty asked us to bring a message to your uncle. I'm afraid his intention is to make your uncle stop before it's too late.

Otherwise, not only your uncle, but even our entire Li family will probably face unprecedented disasters."

Li Shishi was shocked again.

Once upon a time, she believed that the current emperor was weak, incompetent and foolish.

Only now did she realize how ridiculous and childish it was to have such an idea.

Such an emperor is by no means weak and incompetent.

The Great Qin may soon usher in a wise emperor unprecedented in history!

The Office of the Minister of Personnel.

Li Yin told Li Linfu what the emperor had said, and also shared some of his own insights.

After hearing the sound.

Li Linfu's eyes were dull and he sat down on the chair with a thud. Even his limbs felt weak.

I wanted to drink some tea to calm my nerves.

However, when he raised the teacup, his hands were shaking.

The tea splashed out.

Seeing this, Li Yin comforted him, "Brother, I think this time, His Majesty is just reminding you.

But in the future, you must not abuse your power and position to pave the way for the future generations of our Li family."

Li Linfu nodded in a daze. After a moment, he said earnestly:

"Let's just pretend this never happened, and it's best to keep it to ourselves.

When you go back, tell the elders and younger generations of the Li family.

From this day forward, our Li family swears allegiance to Your Majesty. Anyone showing second thoughts will be expelled from the family."

......

Half an hour later.

Li Shishi and others left Xianyang City.

At the city gate, I met Cai Wenji and Cai Jing.

The latter came to see the former off.

The former also knew that Li Shishi was leaving Beijing today.

So I just waited here.

In order to ensure Cai Wenji's safe return to Jiangnan, Cai Jing sent many additional guards.

Seeing the Li family caravan approaching, Cai Wenji immediately stepped forward to greet them.

At this time, Li Shishi also noticed the other party, and hurriedly got off the carriage. She took the initiative to hold Cai Wenji's delicate hand, reluctantly saying:

"Sister, after we part today, I don't know how long it will take for us to meet again."

Cai Wenji smiled and said, "I will go to Longxi to find you someday, or you can go to Jiangnan."

Li Shishi nodded solemnly and said, "I will definitely go to find my sister."

Although the two were in Xianyang City, they had only known each other for a few days.

However, they have become good sisters who can talk about anything.

Li Shishi suddenly pulled Cai Wenji aside and asked in a low voice:

"I've heard a lot about my sister before, and recently, I've talked a lot with her about the past.

The younger sister discovered that since her elder sister left Xianyang City, she had never left Jiangnan except for traveling around with her uncle.

My sister has never been to the Empress Dowager's birthday before. Are you here this time because you want to see His Majesty the Emperor?

It can't be true, as my uncle said, that he hopes you can find your ideal husband in Xianyang City, right? "

The uncle she was referring to was naturally Cai Wenji's father, Cai Yong.

Cai Wenji remained silent.

Silence is better than words at this time.

As everyone knows, this year's Qin Dynasty has almost been plunged into war.

She was far away in Jiangnan and heard what Ying Yuan said.

'The Son of Heaven guards the national gate, the King dies for the country.'

It was because of this sentence that she traveled thousands of miles to Xianyang City.

Just worried about his safety.

Now, after seeing him, I feel content.

Cai Wenji looked up at Xianyang City.

When I left, he was there to see me off.

Now, only the memories of my childhood remain in my mind.

"Are you willing, sister?"

Li Shishi asked.

Cai Wenji shook her head and smiled:

"Silly girl, nothing in this world can be perfect, and we can't choose between being willing or unwilling.

Just as summer cicadas cannot see the winter snow, spring grass becomes withered in autumn.

There are always some people who will amaze us, and there are always some people who will plunge us into the abyss.

I think it’s worth it as long as we live up to our encounter and remember the past.”

"What if it's not worth it?"

Li Shishi frowned.

"Sister, have you ever met someone you like? Or, do you know what love is?"

Cai Wenji asked with a smile.

Li Shishi shook her head.

Cai Wenji looked at the tall, ancient city wall and seemed to murmur:

"The purest love in the world is to like what you love and love what you like. You are the best and the most beautiful. The good is in my heart and the beauty is in my heart.

Not all sentimentality needs to be soothed by drinking, and likewise, not all love needs a perfect ending."

There was something else she kept in her heart and never said.

In fact, the distance from knowing each other in life to forgetting each other in the world is not very far.

She let out a long sigh, then turned and left without looking back.
