Getting Simulated By The Empress Is Not My Intention

  Chapter 80 Farewell

   "He...he rejected the widow?" At this moment, Ying Yiren suddenly felt a heavy blow in his heart!

  She originally thought that as long as she reinstated Officer Zhang Beichen, he would agree, and then go to the front line to resist the Chu army!

  But now, Zhang Beichen rejected her!

   "Doesn't he know that disobedience to the king's order is a capital offense?" At this moment, Ying Yiren felt very uncomfortable.

  She suddenly realized that she and Zhang Beichen were already so estranged! Complete strangers far away!

  Ying Yiren recalled that in the previous simulation, Zhang Beichen would rather die than avenge her, and she was also willing to avenge Zhang Beichen.

   But now, the two have become strangers!

  Her heart hurts like a knife!

   "Your Majesty, should I persuade him again?" Jing Ping tentatively asked.

   "No need, our country of Qin is full of talents, can we do without Zhang Beichen?" Ying Yiren said coldly.

  …

  【The Chu army was still attacking, and Ying Ge ordered people to build earthen fortresses on the border, which effectively defended against the enemy's attack. 】

  【Fan Lue ordered his soldiers to break the embankment, diverting water to destroy the earth fortress and city wall, and the Qin army was defeated. 】

  【The Chu army is pressing on every step of the way and has already occupied the land of Hexi. 】

  After Qin State annexed Wei State, it took back the original capital and the land of Hexi. So the capital was moved from Yongcheng to Liyang.

   Now, the Chu army has captured the land of Hexi, which is equivalent to reaching the door of the house. If the fight continues, the state of Qin will perish!

  …

  Chu army is in the formation.

  An old man with white hair and beard said to Xiong Zhitong: "Your Majesty, the Qin army has a tenacious will to resist, and forceful control is not advisable."

   "I heard that the old clan of the Qin State is dissatisfied with King Qin's reform. They can send secret envoys to contact them and let them rebel. If they cooperate internally and externally, Qin State will be destroyed!"

   This person is Xiong Zhitong's teacher, Fan Lue, a half-sage military strategist. Xiong Zhitong studied art with a teacher when he was young, but it's a pity that Xiong Zhitong didn't like to learn the art of war, but only loved martial arts.

   "The teacher is absolutely right!" Xiong Zhitong agreed, and Fan Lue ordered without authorization: "Send the order down, suspend the attack, and order the secret envoy to go to Qin to contact the old clan."

  Xiong Zhitong frowned slightly, he was the King of Chu, and before he could give the order, Fan Lue gave it first.

  Fan Lue is very talented, but because he was her teacher before, he often educates her in the tone of an elder.

  Even if she has become the king of Chu, it is still the same. Xiong Zhitong was dissatisfied, but considering the relationship between master and apprentice, he just pretended not to see it.

  …

  【The Chu army rested in place, and rumors arose in Qin. Your people have found out that the old clans have made some moves, and they seem to have close ties with the Chu people. 】

  Seeing the news, Yingyi people knew that under the oppression of powerful foreign enemies, cracks had begun to appear in the domestic forces that were originally united.

  If the Qin army continues to fail, the following outcome will definitely be the rebellion of the old clan.

  Although I have enough power in this bureau, I have the ability to suppress them. But there are foreign enemies! As long as there is chaos in the country, the Chu army will definitely take the opportunity to attack. At that time, Qin State will be destroyed and Chu State will rule the world!

  Jing Ping begged to see Ying Yiren again, and remonstrated: "Your Majesty, if Zhang Beichen is not invited out of the mountain at this time, my country of Qin will really perish!"

  Ying Yiren took a deep breath and said, "Come on, prepare your horse!"

  …

  In the small farmyard, Zhang Beichen is playing chess with his daughter. Wei Bi came back from his travels, already slim and handsome, with a bit of heroism on his body.

  Outside the fence, two galloping horses came galloping.

   Chasing Feng in the yard suddenly screamed, and it sensed its former owner.

   "Father, someone is here." Wei Bi reminded.

  Zhang Beichen naturally knew, he stood up and looked at the two of them.

  Ying Yiren got off the horse, and Jing Ping locked the horse for her. He didn't go in, but quietly waited outside.

   "The guilty minister has seen the emperor." Zhang Beichen cupped his hands and said.

  He looked at Ying Yiren, blessed by the fortune of the country, has the effect of retaining the face and can slow down aging. Unless they were dying, these queens looked radiant most of the time. Ying Yiren's peerless beauty remained unchanged, but the brows were a little more tired.

   "The daughter of the people has met the emperor." Wei Bi's attitude towards Ying Yiren was very cold, and she knew her own background. Although her mother was not killed by Ying Yiren, if Ying Yiren hadn't put her under house arrest, how could Wei Yao commit suicide?

  Ying Yiren looked at Zhang Beichen quietly. Zhang Beichen is now middle-aged, and he looks more stable.

  Ying Yiren really wanted to greet him and ask him how he has been these years? But when she saw Wei Bi next to her who looked almost like Wei Yao, she felt a tingle in her heart!

   "Prime Minister, I have something to tell you." Ying Yiren said.

   "Bi'er, you go into the house first!" Zhang Beichen said in a low voice, and Wei Bi entered the room obediently.

  Zhang Beichen and Ying Yiren walked towards the country road, neither of them spoke.

   After a long time, Ying Yi said, "The widow asked you to reinstate me last time, why didn't you come?"

   "The criminal minister has limited ability, how can he take on the big responsibility?" The more flat Zhang Beichen's tone was, the more Ying Yiren felt panicked in his heart!

   It shouldn't be like this, they should be the closest people! Why are we strangers?

   "You're still blaming the widow!" Ying Yiren suddenly stopped and looked at Zhang Beichen with tears in his eyes.

  Zhang Beichen didn't speak.

  Ying Yiren continued: "Do you know that when the news of your victory over Wei came, the widow wanted to celebrate your victory, make you a prince, and let you sit with the widow!"

   "But it came along with the news about you and Wei Yao. You actually have a daughter! Do you know how heartbroken the widow is?"

   "You and Wei Yao are in love with each other, and I have no right to control you. What makes me angry is that you, as the prime minister of Qin, have a private life with the king of Wei, and you are hiding it from me!"

  Zhang Beichen sighed, "Your Majesty, I am at fault."

   "It's the widow's fault!" Ying Yiren's suppressed emotions broke out for a long time, her shoulders were shaking, and her chest heaved: "The widow admits that I deliberately dismissed you because I was jealous in my heart! Jealous Wei Yao actually possessed you!"

   "The widow likes you. As a woman and a king, how do you let the widow accept sharing a husband with other women?"

   "I have wronged you all these years, and I apologize to you."

  As a monarch, Ying Yiren put down her face and really apologized.

  Zhang Beichen sighed, and said: "Things are different, people are different, it is useless to say these things now."

   "I know." Ying Yiren held back her tears and said, "I have finished what I have to say. I am not here to invite you out of the mountain, but to say goodbye to you."

   "As a monarch, the widow cannot sit back and watch the Qin Dynasty perish."

  After speaking, Ying Yiren turned and left, she had already made up her mind to survive with the country.

   "Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of a country. Brother Beichen, let's go." Jing Ping got on his horse without looking back.

  …

  【The news soon came that Ying Yiren personally put on armor and went into battle to resist the Chu army. Jing Ping died in the battle, and Qin State lost several lands. In order to attack the city, Fan Lue broke the embankment of the Yellow River, causing the Yellow River to flood, and the land of Qin was devastated. 】

  The village where Zhang Beichen lives was also affected.

  The flood flooded the fields, and all the people became disaster victims. But they did not flee from famine, but prepared to take up arms and go to the battlefield.

   "Uncle Liu, do you still want to go to the battlefield when you are old?" Zhang Beichen stopped a neighbor, he was an old man with gray hair.

   Uncle Liu held a fork and said angrily, "My old Qin people have never flinched from the enemy. How much blood did our ancestors shed to give us this land of survival, how can we give it up?"

   "But you are just going to die like this!" Zhang Beichen persuaded, "We can stay far away to avoid the chaos of war."

"Hiding?" Liu Bo stared and said, "My old Qin people don't bleed dry, and don't stop fighting! Zhang Beichen, you were not born here, you can go, I can't! I'm leaving, my Future generations will all become slaves of the enemy, and become the ghosts of their sword!"

   After finishing speaking, Uncle Liu pushed Zhang Beichen away and rushed to the battlefield with the large army.

   And this so-called large army is all a group of refugees, including old people, children, and women. Some of them are holding forks, some are holding sticks, and some are picking up stones, and rush to the battlefield.

   They sang together in their mouths: "Jiu Jiu Lao Qin, we will go to the country together, blood will not be shed, and death will not cease!"
