The mountains hid the setting sun, and the sunset glow filled the vast sky, reflecting on the faces of the two people.
"Oh, I originally wanted to bring you here to see the sunset, but now I'll just have to see the remaining glow."
Shu Li and Zhao Zheng stood side by side on the boulder, looking at the red sunset in the sky.
"Who are those bosses?"
"If I guess correctly, they are lonely souls from Changping."
"Changping?" Zhao Zheng frowned.
That place should be completely uninhabited for a hundred miles.
"Don't the armors on them look familiar to you?" Shuli turned to look at Zhao Zheng, "They are all from the Zhao army. The weapons in their hands are almost damaged, but they are better maintained."
"They were the survivors of the Battle of Changping nine years ago?" Zhao Zheng thought, "That's why they said they wanted to take revenge on me."
Shu Li said playfully: "What? Are you scared?"
Zhao Zheng shook his head.
He is not afraid, nor will he be afraid.
I've been through it since I was a kid, and I've never been afraid of bullying, it's just life and death.
"It's just that the attendant died because of this." Zhao Zheng looked a little depressed.
Even though it was because of the relationship between master and servant, the attendant did his best to think of himself along the way, and when faced with danger, he immediately protected himself behind him.
"Are you sad? Are you blaming yourself for the death of your attendant?" Shuli punched Zhao Zheng, "Does it hurt?"
Zhao Zheng rubbed his painful chest and nodded, "It hurts."
"But you're not dead yet, are you?" Shu Li smiled.
Zhao Zheng felt that he was responsible for the death of the attendant, not her, so he still had to distinguish the relationship clearly.
She still remembered that she encountered bandits marauding on the border between South Korea and Wei, so she rescued the remaining people, but instead of being grateful, the rescued people blamed her for not taking action earlier.
whispering sound,
"If you become the king of Qin, there will not be just a dozen people who hate you, but hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands, millions of people! Who among the six countries in the world hates Qin?
If you become the King of Qin and your generals die, how many people will die because of your decree?
Now it’s just one, but in the future, there will be hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands, millions!
By then, will you blame yourself for everyone's death?
answer me."
Shu Li grabbed Zhao Zheng's collar and looked directly at him.
"I" Zhao Zheng pursed his lips, "I don't know."
"You must know!"
Shu Li didn't know what it was like to be an emperor, but she knew that every emperor had a heart of stone.
In their eyes, there is only supreme power and no weak feelings.
An emperor who is decisive in killing may not be a good emperor.
But indecisiveness never appears in a good emperor.
Tenderness is just a pretense to show the emperor's own compassion.
The emperor could cry while ordering the execution of his ministers and even his brothers.
The current Zheng Ge is not the Qin Shihuang who has been the emperor for eternity. He is just a little Zhengzi who has returned from a foreign country.
Without the support of power, he would not be able to reborn.
But Shuli now wants him to understand that the weak and the strong prey on the weak in this world, let him know in advance the cruelty of the world, and let him know that he must have a cold heart.
He can have tenderness and blame himself, but he can't show it in front of anyone.
Zhao Zheng looked into Shu Li's eyes, his eyes gradually became firm, and his hands clenched into fists, "I understand."
Shu Li let go of Zhao Zheng and looked at the last trace of light in the distant sky, lingering under the siege of night.
"Xiao Zhengzi, you will become the King of Qin, and you must also become the King of Qin."
Zhao Zheng turned around and looked at the remaining light in the sky that was eventually swallowed up by the night, "Boss?"
"uh-huh?"
"I want to know, did you know my identity early on, so you went out of your way to approach me?" Zhao Zheng clenched his fists. He wanted to know the answer, the real answer.
"Didn't I say it before?"
"Is that the real answer?"
"Yes."
"What does the boss want?"
"What?" Shuli looked at Zhao Zheng in confusion.
Zhao Zheng turned his head to look at Shu Li, his calm face making Shu Li panic for some reason.
"Not only you, the boss, but also the people in HD City, what do you want?"
Shu Li smiled, with a hint of disappointment, and then with a second thought, a hint of relief.
"Maybe, because I saw that you are the King of Qin."
"What's the meaning?"
What does it mean to see that you are the King of Qin?
"I saw you ascending to the throne at the age of thirteen, I saw you dominate the world, I saw you slaughter the six kingdoms, I saw you create achievements for eternity." Shuli raised her head and looked at the sky.
The earth is shrouded in night, the bright moon shines brightly, and the stars compete to linger around
"Is this really something I can do?"
"You don't believe in yourself?"
"I don't know. I'm not from Zhao, but I don't know if I'm from Qin. I was born in a foreign country, but I have never had a home of my own."
Zhao Zheng raised his head and looked at the shining star in the night,
"Boss, why did you choose me?"
"I didn't choose you, you chose yourself. I just installed an accelerator key for you."
Shu Li didn't want to see the Great Qin Empire that had perished in its second generation.
He created an unprecedented era, and his glory should not simply decline, should not be buried in the yellow sand, should not be remembered by ruins, and should not just appear briefly under the strokes of a historian.
The Six Kingdoms have long since declined.
"Me?" Zhao Zheng opened his palm to the sky and then shook it.
Shu Li caught a glimpse of Zhao Zheng's movements and smiled.
He has already made his choice.
Just like me, I made my own choice.
The way of an emperor is balance? That doesn't seem to be the case for him.
"So, can you tell me your true identity, boss?"
"You really want to know?"
"I really want to know."
"My surname is Li, and my name is Shu. I am the current junior sister Guiguzi after Li Mu, the prefect of Yanmen in the Zhao Kingdom, and the adopted daughter of Lord Chang'an." Shuli whispered the last identity.
Zhao Zheng was stunned.
No wonder that person would teach me knowledge and the way to survive. It turns out that he is really the father of the boss.
Suddenly, Zhao Zheng's eyes were attracted by the blue butterflies flying on Shuli's fingertips, "So it was the boss who attracted me here?"
Shuli waved her hand, and the butterfly turned into little stars and disappeared in the sky.
"Yes, but the appearance of those people was unexpected."
Shu Li was also guiding Zhao Zheng over and found many sneaky people following him.
"Oh, by the way." Shu Li said, "I brought you here originally to say goodbye to you, but don't say I didn't keep my promise."
Shu Li blinked at Zhao Zheng.
"I know." Zhao Zheng turned his head shyly.
"Well, originally it was quite artistic to say farewell under the sunset, but it's a pity that it took some time." Shuli stretched.
"Boss Ruoruo likes to watch the sunset." Zhao Zheng said to Shuli seriously, "In the future, I will definitely let the boss see the most beautiful sunset in the world."
"Pfft." Shu Li couldn't help laughing when she saw Zhao Zheng's serious look, "Then it's settled."
"Um!"
"It's time for me to leave."
"Is the boss leaving soon?"
"My trip is not over yet, my senior brother is still waiting for me."
"Senior brother, what about Guiguzi? Then boss, when can we meet next time?"
"When you ascend the throne, I will come to congratulate you. Oh, by the way, your attendant is not dead yet."
Zhao Zheng looked around, but Shu Li was nowhere to be seen. He lowered his head and looked at an extra jade token that had appeared in his hand at some point.
