Traveling alternately day and night to the third day, seeing that he was about to arrive in Chang'an City, Li Shimin finally woke up from his slumber. Seeing him trembling his eyelids and opening his eyes with difficulty, Zhao Cang couldn't help but weaken his legs and feet, and sat on the ground.

Mu Qing was sitting on the wheel, and when he heard the movement and looked back, he was also relieved.

"Where is this going?" Li Shimin darkened his throat, as if he couldn't remember how to speak, and let out a strange tone.

Mu Qingleng was unexpectedly asked by him, and a smile just appeared on his face, which gradually faded away, and he didn't know how to answer him. Answer truthfully, I am afraid that when he first wakes up, he will not be able to stand the anger of the attack. If you don't tell the truth, how can you say it?

Although Yinghua and Zhao Cang were on the side, Xu was also thinking about this layer, and they didn't dare to speak, so they all looked at her. Mu Qingshi was embarrassed, so he had to summon a soldier and ordered him to invite Du Ruhui quickly.

Du Ruhui was at the front of the team, and as soon as he heard the news that Erlang had woken up, he turned his horse's head and came to the team. As soon as he arrived at the side of the baggage car that Erlang was riding, he was about to tell him about the situation in the past few days, but before he could speak, the Xuanjia army at the end of the team was in a commotion, looking through the crowd, as if they were all excitedly holding their swords, as if they were going to meet the enemy.

Lu Aliu, who was in Xuanjia, urged the horse to run, looking anxious but not panicked, seeing Erlang sitting on the car with his eyes open, he was surprised, and then suddenly remembered that there was something important to do, "A carriage came from behind, walking very fast, holding high the banner with the word Xue, and went up to visit, only a driver who was driving, and there was no other soldier." ”

Li Shimin turned to Du Ruhui blankly, with a puzzled face, waiting for him to explain.

Another rider caught up after him, and another Xuanjia Lang said loudly: "The coachman and the car have been taught to detain us, he claimed that he was not in the army, but only sent something for Xue Gong, and there was indeed a big wooden box on the car, and he did not dare to move it." ”

Du Ruhui stopped the team, and several Xuanjialang escorted the coachman and drove forward. Where is the big wooden box placed on the car, it is clearly a thin coffin.

Yinghua rode a horse, circled around the thin coffin twice, looked carefully, it was only a coffin, and there was nothing abnormal, so he asked Du Ruhui, "Brother-in-law, do you want to open it and take a look?" ”

Du Ru hesitated for a moment and nodded.

There were several soldiers standing in front of him, Yinghua dragged the spear held in the hand of one of them, and knocked a few times on the coffin with the spearhead, making a dull knocking sound, the spearhead was on the coffin lid for a while, seeing that there was no abnormal movement, she used her strength with one hand, and inserted the tip of the spear into the crack of the cover, and the coffin lid was not dead, so Yinghua made it stronger, and the coffin lid flew out with a "click".

The contents of the coffin taught everyone present to gasp in unison, and in the middle of the summer of June, it actually made a cold current jump up the back of the spine.

Seeing a coffin full of flesh and blood, red, yellow and white, like pieces of minced meat with skin, the horse under Yinghua's seat was startled, and neighed and took two steps back. She twisted her two willow eyebrows, held the reins of the horse with one hand and covered her mouth and nose with the other, and returned to Li Shimin's car.

"That's a human nose!" One of the soldiers shouted sharply, panic in his voice.

"And, yes, and ears." Someone shuddered.

The car Mu Qing was sitting in was not in front of him, but fortunately it was separated by some distance, but he could still see patches of red. She turned her face away, trying not to let herself see the disgusting and terrible things, how could the pile of things be stuffy in the coffin for a while, and because of the hot weather, the moment the lid was opened, a foul-smelling smell of blood gushed out, although she could avoid it, but she couldn't avoid the disgusting smell, and for a while her stomach wanted to vomit, and she covered her mouth and retched.

Zhao Cang hurriedly took out a handful of dried ginger from the bag he was carrying, handed a slice to her, taught her to hold it under her tongue, and gave a few slices to the people around her, turned his head to look at Yinghua, hesitated, and handed her a slice of dried ginger with a little shrunk.

"Thank you, Doctor Zhao." Yinghua took the ginger slice and thanked him, Zhao Cang smiled unnaturally, and the hand he raised forgot to take it back. For all eyes were on the coffin, and no one noticed his embarrassment.

Li Shimin lowered his brows, his eyes were almost bursting with anger, a wisp of blood filled his throat, and he pointed to the coffin in front of him in a hoarse voice and asked, "What does this mean?" ”

No one dared to answer at the moment, and the driver who drove in was so frightened that he couldn't stand, knelt on the ground and supported the ground with his hands, trembling all over, and when he heard the questioning, he didn't know who the suppressed angry voice was asking, so he just leaned over and replied: "A general, say it...... said that it was under the account of Xue Gong, promised money, and ordered the villain to send this coffin to Daxing City, and he must personally give it to a second son surnamed Li to count, and the rest of the villains don't know anything, they don't know anything. ”

Li Shimin sneered suddenly, and turned his head to Du Ruhui, "It's the withdrawal of troops back to Chang'an, and the coffin that fills the ears and noses that have been cut off, and you don't need to tell you, someone must have ignored the order and fought against Xue Ju privately, and looking at this situation, it must be defeated." ”

"Gong Liu, who led 20,000 horses to go, has not returned yet." Du Ruhan's face was solemn, and he glanced at the bloody coffin, "I won't go back if I want to." At that time, I was afraid that Xue Ju would pursue and affect the remaining half of the people, so I had to withdraw the camp in a hurry, and Erlang had been asleep, so I had to make an assertion. ”

"My sister went to persuade her, but she couldn't persuade her after arguing for a long time." Yinghua saw the anger on Li Shimin's face, and hurriedly added, "Erlang and don't be angry, he just woke up, and this anger can teach Doctor Zhao to work in vain." Moreover, since this is already the case at the moment, it is important to withdraw to Chang'an first, and then take care of the rest. ”

Li Shimin gritted his teeth, his nose was slightly inciting, he was silent for a long time, and roared in a muffled voice: "Go." ”

The team then rushed to Chang'an, but Lu Aliu didn't know how to take care of the coachman and the objects of this car, he only knew that the king of Qin was angry at this time, and he didn't have any eyes to see, so he rushed forward to ask about it, which was absolutely inconsistent. Du Ruhui followed closely beside King Qin, and he couldn't ask.

After hesitating and stomping for a long time, he caught a glimpse of Mu Qing riding behind with Yinghua, which made him grasp the life-saving straw, hurriedly stepped forward, and pointed to the carriage behind him, "Qi Niang, you have an idea for me, those, how to live?" ”

Mu Qing didn't want to look back, and when he muttered for a while, he sighed: "I can't die without a whole corpse, and I have suffered such humiliation, in the end, I am so pitiful, I am buried, dig deeper in the pit, and don't teach jackals and wild things to turn out." The coachman had nothing to do with him, and drove away. ”

Lu Aliu received the words and was about to do it, the reins of the horse shook off and ran two steps, and was called again, and when he turned around, he saw that it was Du Ruhui who rushed over from Li Shimin, so he turned the horse's head and asked, "What else does Mr. Du command?" ”

"That coachman, I don't know if he is a civilian, or a soldier, he has entered our army, knows the number of people in the army, and sees the illness of King Qin, so he can no longer let him go back, if he is through the wind to Xue Ju and pursues all the way, where is there still a chance for us to live." Du Ruyan said indifferently, his tone cold.

Mu Qing raised his eyes and looked at him dumbfounded, "He...... Or just an ordinary person...... "Having said that, the confidence is insufficient, after all, this matter cannot be determined.

Lu Aliu arched his hand again with a calm face, "I understand below." ”

Du Ruhui nodded, "It's also a good burial, and the Mojiao exposes the corpse wilderness." ”

Mu Qing's heart was unspeakable, he sighed repeatedly, sat on the horse speechlessly with his eyes down, and focused on the reins in his hand. Du Ruhui slowly approached her, Fang Cai's coldness and harshness were completely gone, and he was as gentle and elegant as usual, "Mu Qing, don't complain about my ruthlessness, this matter is not a fluke, there are more than 20,000 lives here, compared with him, which is more important, you should be able to tell." ”

"I understand, I have never complained." She lowered her head and whispered, "I just don't want to see you do these things, if I can, I'd rather do it for you." ”

Du Ruhui suddenly felt that there was a foreign object rolling in her heart, and wanted to reach out to shake her hand and look around, but after all, it was inappropriate, so she only moved her arm and didn't really stretch out her hand.

After walking a little further, a soldier came behind him with an object in the shape of a wooden sign, claiming that it had fallen from the coachman during his execution. Du Ruhui took it and looked at it in the palm of his hand, Mu Qing and Yinghua also leaned over their necks to see, it was actually a military card, with the name, surname, age, and battalion clearly engraved on it.

Mu Qing shrank her neck and twitched her brows, if it weren't for Du Ruhui rushing to stop her, she would have almost let go of the fine work and caused a big disaster. At the moment, he was ashamed and whispered, holding the reins close to him and whispering, "It's dangerous, it's a loss......"

Du Ruhui took a deep look at her, flexed his index finger, and pressed it on his lips.

Mu Qing immediately understood his intentions, and pressed these words without mentioning them.

……

The Kaiyuan Gate of Chang'an City was only ten miles away, and Li Shimin sent scouts, went to report with his signal, and ordered the city gate guards to prepare to open the city gate. After a while, the scout galloped back to return the signal, only to inform the defenders, and when they reached the city, they opened the door and put it in.

An hour later, the far gate could be seen clearly, but half a mile, finally all the way was not pursued, and the soldiers were slowly putting their hanging hearts into the distance.

But the people who saw it saw about five people, and they rode their horses from the direction of the far gate, and estimated that they had come to meet them, thinking that they were about to return to the city immediately, and everyone in the army hastened their pace under their feet.

The five horsemen who came at a gallop ignored everyone and galloped straight into the team, until they reached Li Shimin, only then did they take the reins, and the person who was the leader was a famous team, turned over and dismounted, strode to the front of the baggage car where Li Shimin was sitting, hugged his fists and bowed, "The prince has an order, in order to reject the Xue army, the gates of Chang'an are strictly closed, and no one is allowed to come." He also asked His Royal Highness the King of Qin to withdraw from the city and camp five miles away. In addition, we were ordered to escort the criminal Liu Wenjing back to the city. ”

Li Shimin was holding the decoction handed by Zhao Cang in his hand, and after listening to these words, he staggered from the car and got off the ground, paused, raised his hand suddenly, and smashed the soup in the bowl on the ground, shook his body, and sat on the car board for a while. R1152
