Chapter 174: The Fall of the Golden City (9)

It wasn't until the afternoon of the next day that Liu Wenjing took the remnants of more than 100 horsemen and groped his way to the camp five miles outside Kaiyuanmen. Liu Wenjing felt ashamed, she had made up her mind, she didn't see King Qin, and went straight to Chang'an to ask for her guilt.

It's just that he didn't expect that under Li Shimin's thunderous anger, the generals who came to wait for him to escort him had to leave the camp and return to the city first, at this time Liu Wenjing had not yet entered the camp, and Du Ruhui had been waiting for him outside the camp for more than an hour.

Liu Wenjing and the more than 100 remnants led by him were covered with dark brown blood stains on their faces, and the blood lines in their eyes were entangled, almost turning red. Du Ruhan moved his brows, and he couldn't say anything to soothe him, so he silently led him to the big tent to see Li Shimin. While walking, he secretly complained in his heart, Liu Gong was confused, and this defeat was precisely to deliver the handle to Li Jiancheng's hands. The crown prince is busy cutting off the wings of King Qin, and I am afraid that this knife will fall on Liu Gong's head.

In the past two days, Li Shimin's condition has gradually stabilized, and he no longer needs to be cared for day and night, but his face is still ugly, and he still struggles to speak.

After reprimanding for a while, Li Shimin ran out of strength, and he couldn't breathe when he spoke. In the end, Yinghua couldn't bear it, and stepped forward to ask for two sentences, but it was not to excuse Liu Wenjing, in the final analysis, she was sorry that Li Shimin was recovering from a serious illness, and it was easy to wake up from a coma, but she was hit hard one after another, and her anger and anxiety continued, and if she continued like this, she had to toss and vomit blood.

After Yinghua opened his mouth, several other Lang generals in the tent knew that they could intercede, and they also echoed a few words, Li Shimin sighed deeply, waved his hand and sent everyone in the tent away, his tone was still stiff, but he slowed down his momentum and said to Liu Wenjing: "The injuries on the body are taught to Zhao Cang as soon as possible, and they will be raised for a few days, and they don't have to come to the big tent." ”

"Why are you so angry?" Everyone in the big tent dispersed in twos and threes, leaving only Yinghua and Li Shimin, Yinghua looked at his withered face and pouted, "It's not that you can't get back this game, when you're good, you have Xue Ju to bear, let's ......"

"Yinghua, come here." He didn't seem to hear what she was saying, and beckoned to her, not caring if she really followed his words.

Yinghua froze and stood still. She looked at his godless but hopeful eyes, and her heart suddenly moved, and her intuition told her not to pass, but to retreat with a salute, and turn and walk out of the tent behind her, but her legs did not obey the call and moved forward step by step, a total of five small steps, as difficult as five hundred miles.

Yinghua walked up to him, Li Shimin pointed to her side, she hesitated for a while, and finally sat down. The two of them sat in silence for a while, but they didn't know what to say.

The sun had deflected to the west, and the whole tent was shrouded in gold, so quiet that it didn't look like it was in a barracks. A neighing of horses came from nowhere, and it instantly tore through the silence. Yinghua seemed to have been suddenly woken up from his sleep, raised his head suddenly, and said, "Erlang Ruo...... If nothing else, I'll ...... first."

"Nothing. I just want to sit with you as before, and if you have something to do, I'll go first. Li Shimin's voice was low and tired, and he even felt frustrated when he listened, which really scared Yinghua, he was used to seeing his high spirits since he was a child, but at this moment he accidentally caught a glimpse of his dying, she seemed to have peeked into something that should not be seen, and her expression was extremely unnatural.

Yinghua bent his knees, sat with his knees hugged, put on a posture of wanting to sit here for a long time, put one side of his cheek on his bent knee, and looked at him sideways, revealing a little of the innocence of his youth.

Her casual appearance made Li Shimin's eyes trance, and he asked thoughtlessly: "Do you remember the first time we met, how old were you at that time?" ”

"Ten years old." She replied inexplicably.

"Eight years." He grabbed a short dagger on the case and said idly, "You never told me about the things before we met. ”

Yinghua became more and more puzzled, and muttered secretly in his heart, at this moment, he should be angry about Da Lang closing the city gate, and he should have said something to vent his anger, how could he think about this for no reason, tilted his head and thought about it, but felt that Wu Jun had become a vague shadow. "It's just a matter of brothers and sisters, children, and children who are entangled and fighting all day long, and it's not very interesting to think about it, so I haven't mentioned it."

"The Gu clan of Wujun is also a big family, and there are many brothers and sisters?"

"Many, much." This question reminded her of some old things, "Among the girls in the family, I am the only one who has been allowed to practice martial arts with a martial artist, and you also know that my father is a concubine, and my mother is the concubine that my grandfather rewarded my father, and it can be regarded as a special grace from my grandfather to practice with the serious young men in the Hou Mansion." After practice, they couldn't beat me in their fists and feet, so they often stumbled and taught me to be reprimanded, or face the wall in the ancestral hall all night...... Thinking of the past, she propped up her head, covered her mouth and nose with her hands, and sneered.

Li Shimin frowned, "Don't you complain?" ”

"Resentment, how not to complain. It's just that every time she is angry and doesn't want to go to the house again, my mother will say that if she can't bear this grievance, she will be a humble person here, and when she is old, she will be married to an ordinary family, or sent to the big portal to be a concubine, and endure the grievances forever. Speaking of this, Yinghua's face flushed slightly, but fortunately, at this time, the golden sun covered the one in the tent, and her blush could not be revealed, "Whoever is willing to suffer those grievances forever, I will say to myself, go, just stay up for a while." ”

When she said that she was excited, she suddenly paused again, and said with a smile: "Look at me, what you say and do with Your Highness, it is all some childhood foolishness." ”

Li Shimin put down the short dagger in his hand, and pinched a small handful of sand stones in the sand table, his expression was already much more stretched than that of Fang Cai, but when she said the word "Your Highness", she moved her brows slightly. "Anyway, I'm willing to listen to your nonsense."

Yinghua sighed, "There's nothing more to say later." My sister returned from Yuhang, and my father wanted to give her to Du Yan as a concubine, but she refused, so my mother begged her to escape from Wu County with me. At that time, my sister was not very old, and she was still timid and cowardly, so we fled to Jiangdu with trepidation all the way, and joined my brother-in-law before we made up our minds. Subsequently, he followed his brother-in-law to the Eastern Capital. ”

Li Shimin looked at her fixedly for a moment, and the question of "can you marry now" turned around in his heart a few times, and he swallowed between his mouthpieces three or two times, and finally wanted to ask her for an answer.

The word "now" was about to exit, and Zhao Cang's voice came from the door of the big tent, "The decoction has been completed, Your Highness should not miss the time for the medicine." ”

"If I want to take medicine, I'll go first." Yinghua bent his knees with a smile, obviously wearing a single robe, but he curtsy, looking quite strange, Li Shimin eliminated the unhappiness of being interrupted by Zhao Cang, and couldn't help but bow his head and smile, "Go." ”

Yinghua walked to the door of the big tent and met Zhao Cang who came in with a soup bowl, and happened to be followed by Li Shimin's posthumous sentence, "In the future, you are not allowed to be called 'Your Highness' again." When he looked up, he saw Zhao Cang's puzzled and instantaneous expression, and he suddenly felt annoyed, and walked quickly outside the tent without looking back.

Li Shimin's malaria recovered for more than half a month, and as Zhao Cang said, there was no evacuation of his strength, and he was tired, and he was young and strong, and his body was strong, and his recovery was even more refreshing than Zhao Cang expected.

For most of the month, Mu Qing has not had such a good time. It was the middle of July, the weather was so hot and scorching that Mu Qing had to talk to Du Ruhan almost every day about Li Jiancheng's evil behavior of refusing to open the city gate.

Du Ruhui knew that she was affectionate, and she was not like this, and she went to the city gates a few times, but the city gates were closed, and there were only a few people who entered and exited the city gates every day.

"Da Lang took the opportunity to make waves, could it be that Li Gong didn't know? It is clear that he connived at the eldest son to do the unrighteous thing. Mu Qing walked back and forth in the tent angrily.

Du Ruhui frowned, "It's just a matter of saying this here, and you can't say it when you go out." Talking about the government in vain, and then increasing the disrespect, if the teacher listened to it with ulterior motives, it immediately became a rebel, and it was not enough to cut off the head of the He clan. ”

"But according to the current shape, when will I be able to return to the city?" When Mu Qing thought of the young and white and fat Xiao Shilang in the Chang'an City Mansion, he seemed to have changed as if he had changed and was anxious. It's been three months since Shiro, and it's time to turn her bright eyes to recognize her mother, but she is trapped less than five miles outside the city, close at hand, and out of reach.

"I can only wait for Erlang to recover, lead the troops to regain the high jaw, break Xue Ju, and return to the city with great fanfare." Du Ruhui said.

These words suddenly reminded Mu Qing that a few days ago, there was a doubt in his heart, but for several days, his mind was full of Shiro's small appearance, and he forgot about this stubble for a while, "It is said that Liu Gong suffered a fiasco, and Erlang has also abandoned Gaojaw and withdrawn to Chang'an......"

"Xue Ju should take Chang'an in one go." Du Ruhui said, "But more than 20 days have passed, and he has not made the slightest movement, which is inevitably noticeable." ”

Mu Qing nodded again and again, "Exactly, I don't know what's weird about it." ”

"There's no need to guess, now Erlang is healthy as usual, and it will be these two days, and he will go to the high jaw again." Du Ruhui pressed her shoulder, between her shoulder and her collarbone, the tentacles only felt that the collarbone was concave, and he had lost a lot of weight in more than a month, and a dull pain rose in his heart, "Follow me for all these years, but I have taught you to suffer so much." ”

"The good one said it again." Mu Qing glanced at him and smiled slightly, "If I hadn't come out with you, I would be living like a puppet in Buza now, and there would be so much fun in living." ”R1152
