The Bodyguard King's CEO Wife-Chapter 1346: Heartfelt Thoughts

"This young lady really looks exactly like me." He Linghan held a phone, looked at Su Qingyu inside, dressed in a white evening gown, looking like a fairy. In contrast, He Linghan, as an ordinary citizen, wore coarse cloth clothing. Ye Shikai noticed the envy in her eyes, which made him feel uncomfortable too. If possible, he really wanted to take her to see the modern world.

"But how can this be? I’ve never heard of it." He Linghan was still shocked by the woman in the photo. Of course, she was also very curious about this thing called a "phone," but she trusted Ye Shikai’s words, believing that since he really came from a time over two thousand years later, then what was in his hand must be different from the Qin Dynasty, no wonder his clothes, shoes, and pants looked so peculiar.

"Indeed, before meeting you, I never believed there could be two people in the world who look so alike." Ye Shikai nodded, truly the world is vast and full of wonders, just like he’d never imagined one day he’d time travel.

"Mr. Ye said she is your ex-wife, then... did you divorce her?"

"You could say that." Ye Shikai nodded. In ancient times, women basically couldn’t divorce; only the men could, writing a letter of divorce meant completely ending the marriage relationship.

"Then... was there something she did wrong that displeased Mr. Ye?" He Linghan continued to ask.

"Ling’er, why don’t you ask, did I do something wrong that made her unhappy?" Ye Shikai turned his head, quietly looking at He Linghan, and after a long time, he finally said.

"Mr. Ye is straightforward and honest, so he should treat his wife well." He Linghan was first startled, perhaps due to the different era concepts between them. In modern times, both parties in a marriage have the same rights; a man can propose divorce, and a woman can too.

"Then you’re wrong, I made a mistake, a terrible mistake." Ye Shikai sighed, faced with the innocent He Linghan, he suddenly felt his heart was too dirty, he had wronged too many people, especially Su Qingyu.

"Really, what mistake did Mr. Ye make?" He Linghan asked curiously, but the next second she realized she was being inappropriate.

"Sorry, it’s your private matter, I was too nosy."

"Ling’er, seeing you this time, I’m very happy." Ye Shikai gently shook his head and turned to gaze at He Linghan. If he really was trapped in the Qin Dynasty, unable to return to the modern era, he hoped to live with He Linghan. This was his heartfelt wish; He Linghan was like Su Qingyu. He had time-traveled to the Qin Dynasty, where no one knew him, and no one held grudges against him, and there were no complicated interpersonal relationships.

Yet Ye Shikai ultimately didn’t voice these thoughts. After all, he had known He Linghan for less than a day, and saying it directly would be too frivolous, even if in modern times, rarely anyone would start a relationship after knowing each other for just one day.

"Ahem, Mr. Ye, it’s late, I’ll be leaving first, you should rest early." He Linghan dared not face Ye Shikai directly, turned red and walked away, taking two steps before suddenly turning back.

"Mr. Ye, I’ll definitely keep this secret for you."

..................

The next day.

"Hey, kid, are you ready?" Just at dawn, Shangguan Jian came with people to Master He’s door. Ye Shikai put on armor, grabbed the bronze longsword, and walked out of the house.

"I’m ready." Ye Shikai nodded and said.

"Let’s go."

"Village chief, please wait a moment." At this time, He Linghan suddenly came running quickly from the side, walked up to Ye Shikai, and stuffed a small linen bag into his arms.

"I prepared some dry food for you, if you’re hungry you can take it out to eat." He Linghan mumbled, then quickly walked away, half covering her face, seemingly worried about being seen by a group of soldiers.

"Not bad, kid’s quite capable." Shangguan Jian cast an eye, Ye Shikai understood his meaning, but didn’t explain much, and left with the team from Master He’s house.

The training ground is ten miles away, not too far. Ye Shikai looked at the soldiers around him; many were wearing simple cloth armor and leather armor, some even without helmets, with only a weapon in hand.

"Are these your soldiers?" Ye Shikai asked curiously.

"Of course, otherwise how would they follow me?" Shangguan Jian turned to look and said lightly.

"Then why don’t they have armor?" Ye Shikai countered. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

"The empire has hundreds of thousands of troops, how is it possible for everyone to have iron armor and swords? I can see your kid has good skills, don’t want you to go to battle empty-handed."

"I see." Ye Shikai sorted out his equipment; indeed, Shangguan Jian still took "extra care" of him, including the copper coins inside.

"If you can make a name for yourself on the battlefield, you can earn military honors and titles. If you make a name for yourself, you might even be promoted." Shangguan Jian introduced the Qin Army system to Ye Shikai along the way. Indeed, in this chaotic world, being able to eat enough is like peace, so many people join the army, at least they have a chance to earn rewards.

The crowd arrived at the training location, Ye Shikai looked around, there were as many as four to five hundred people, undergoing training under the officer’s command.

"Aren’t you the village chief, where did so many people come from?" Ye Shikai asked curiously. A village chief normally has only fifty people under them, clearly not this many.

"Fifty people can protect a village, but this is the county’s training location, did you see that person?" Shangguan Jian pointed to the officer in the center on the stage.

"He is the Five Hundred Master and the chief guard officer of this small county; I’m under his banner." Shangguan Jian continued, "Alright, you’re new here and don’t know anything, I won’t blame you, but since you came here, don’t speak too much, be careful with your life."

"I understand."

"Alright, follow me." Shangguan Jian instructed Ye Shikai to follow alongside him, and the two of them came to the front of the stage. Shangguan Jian bowed in front of the officer, and Ye Shikai followed his lead by bowing his head.

"Shangguan, my young brother, is here." The officer slowly walked down with a smile, gently patted Shangguan Jian’s shoulder.

"I heard about the robber intrusion at Shangshui Village yesterday, fortunately, young brother arrived with people in time."

"Sir, actually I was merely lucky."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Actually, the one who repelled the robbers yesterday was this warrior beside me." Shangguan Jian pointed at Ye Shikai, "It was him alone who repelled yesterday’s robbers."
