Competing

Chapter 214 The Faith to Live
While Xiang Yu was happily marching towards Xian and Yangcheng, Li Si clenched his fists in a forest outside the Hongmen barracks and was listening to Du Shang's report.

"Master, the subordinates are useless, they failed to rescue the king!" Although it was not his fault, Du Shang did not intend to shirk in the slightest.

"Where's Ziyingren?" Li Si asked hoarsely.

Du Shang lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty was shot dead by Chu General Longqie!"

what!Li Si's mouth was opened wide, and his old body couldn't help shaking, as if the sky was falling and the earth was falling.The sunken eye sockets were moist instantly, and tears flowed freely. When he heard the news of his son Li You's death, he had never felt such sadness!

Ying Shiman who rushed over also cried into tears, Ziying died like this, and the two sons were firmly under house arrest by Liu Bang, so how could Xiang Yu be alive when he enters the city?As for those side clans, there will be no chance of being spared.The lineage of male incense in the Ying family was cut off, and the only descendants of the first emperor Yingzheng were Ying Shiman and Ying Ziyegu's niece.

Because of Fusu's death, Li Si felt deeply guilty towards Ziying's brother and sister and his son Li You. Yongqiu, who Li You died in battle, had a deep misunderstanding with himself until his death.What Li Si wants to do is to make up for Ziying, and at the same time, revive the Qin Kingdom can be regarded as making up for the mistakes and guilt of the past!
But God didn't give him this chance. After all, many actions could not change the destiny. Now he just wanted to save Ziying, but it turned into nothing.And ruined the life of the grandson, the white-haired old man sent the black-haired grandson away, it is probably the most tragic thing in the world!
Li Si found out that there was a misunderstanding with Deng Lingmo's people, so that the rescue operation failed, and he couldn't help feeling very regretful.Although the direct mistake was caused by Deng Lingmo, Zhong Yin and Liu Cheng did not know of his existence, and it was reasonable to organize people to rescue Ziying.

I can only blame myself for not calculating well beforehand and ignoring the existence of Deng Lingmo, otherwise it would not be the case.In the end, he had neglected it, because of his negligence and hesitation in the past, he ruined the life of his son-in-law Fusu and the fate of the Great Qin Empire.Today, because of this, the life of his grandson and the last hope of Daqin were ruined.Is it really destiny?For a moment, the strong sense of guilt made him breathless, and suddenly everything was destroyed.

The only one who remained calm was Wei Liao, in comparison he didn't have much direct emotional burden.However, as the master planner of Qin's unified plan in the past, the sadness and regret in his heart are real.

With the death of Ziying, Qin's great cause of restoring the country is all over, so what should we do next?Wei Liao was better, Ying Shiman was the only one who left Qin to live in seclusion, but Li Si was different.

All that Li Si can survive to this day, there are only two thoughts that support him to survive, one is the guilt towards Ziying brothers and sisters, and the other is to revive Qin.But now, why should he live?
Sure enough, Li Si's already wrinkled face became even older, and all Li Si's hopes and beliefs were destroyed.He could no longer find a reason to support himself to live, he was like a walking dead!
Amid the repeated blows and guilt of the death of his relatives, the former mighty Prime Minister of Qin State was so miserable...

Wei Liao and Du Shang wanted to comfort them, but it was a pity that all words were useless. If a person lost the belief in living, any external force would be useless.Du Shang was very worried, if the old master left like this, he would have no face to live in this world.

Now all of Du Shang's hopes were pinned on Zhong Yin. From the moment Ziying was hit by the arrow, Du Shang knew how Li Si would react.After thinking about it, the only consolation is Princess Ziye.But Biansheng Ziye disappeared, so Du Shang felt very sad, so he stayed outside for half a day, waiting for news from Zhong Yin, otherwise he really didn't dare to go back.

But when it was dawn, Zhong Yin still didn't come back, so Du Shang had no choice but to come back and report to Li Si.There was no mention of the news about Midnight, otherwise Li Si might have collapsed on the spot.Of course, he also revealed the route to Liu Cheng, hoping that good news will come in time...

Seeing that the morning sun was already in the sky, but there was still no news, could it be that Princess Ziye also... Seeing Li Si's old sneer, Du Shang was very worried.

"Old guy, can't you keep going?" The voice suddenly sounded from behind, Du Shang was inexplicably surprised, and Zhong Yin appeared again without anyone noticing, just like last time.Seeing that Zhong Yin's expression was relatively relaxed, Du Shang guessed that Princess Ziye was safe and sound, and his inquiring gaze drifted over, only to get an affirmative answer from Zhong Yin's nod.

Only then did Du Shang feel relieved, rushed to Li Si, and said, "Master, the king is gone, and there is Princess Ziye, who is your granddaughter, your only family member!"

"Midnight?" Li Si was immersed in the great grief of Ziying's death, and even ignored his granddaughter. At this moment, a glimmer of hope ignited in his heart!
Raising his head, he saw Zhong Yin standing in front of him, and said in a trembling voice: "Old man Zhong? It's all my fault, Fusu and Ziying... kill me and take revenge!" Seeing Zhong Yin, he said to his son-in-law and grandson The strong guilt of the family suddenly came to my heart again.

Zhong Yin shook his head and said, "Can the father and son survive after killing you? Besides, I have already forgiven you!"

"Really?" Li Si couldn't believe it, but the guilt in his heart was reduced a bit.

Zhong Yin nodded and said: "Yes, what happened today... If my apprentice hadn't been reckless... Young Master Ziying wouldn't have..."

Li Si chuckled, full of helplessness, and said bitterly: "I don't blame others for this matter, maybe it's because God didn't bless Daqin!"

Zhong Yin nodded and said: "Ziying is gone, Ziye is still here, don't you want this granddaughter anymore?"

Hearing this, Li Si's eyes finally brightened up, yes!There was also midnight, subconsciously he seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and naturally gained a belief in living.

Du Shang looked very happy, great, fortunately Mr. Zhong Yin arrived in time.Seeing this, Wei Liao nodded slightly, knowing that Li Si's belief in living had been ignited again, and it was time to strike while the iron was hot.

A midnight is indeed a great spiritual support, but Wei Liao thought it was far from enough, got up and walked closer and said: "Yes, Ziye is still there, Li Xiang should think about her more, she is just you A relative. Let Ziying die in vain like this? Will the Qin Kingdom perish like this?"

Li Si raised his head, there was still some unusual meaning in his dim eyes, he looked at Wei Liao suspiciously, and asked, "You mean...?"

Before he finished speaking, Wei Liao nodded lightly and said firmly: "Yes, we should take revenge!"

Zhong Yin also walked up and said, "That's right, it's time to avenge Young Master Ziying!"

"Revenge?" Li Si murmured, and a deep hatred suddenly flashed in his eyes.Indeed, he couldn't die, not only for Ziye, but also to avenge his grandson Ying and Qin.

Midnight and revenge are the new pillars for the weather-beaten old man to survive, and the hope of life is burning in Li Si's heart again!
