Chapter 101: Where the Heart Belongs (19)

The generals originally thought that Li Shimin was just making a gesture, and Changshi would not really punish him, even if Changshi was really up, wouldn't there still be a prince of the country, no matter how you say it, you should ask for a face, and see each other in the future.

Who would have thought that this long history has been rewarded, self-esteem is too high, and he often shows his dignity in front of others, and this time he took advantage of a reason to petition for the people, and he was so proud that he was dizzy. Needless to say, the two people who were tortured in front of him were Tang Guogong's second son and confidant, I am afraid that if he was Tang Guogong, he would still be able to wave his hand to let people be executed.

Mu Qingyuan also thought about it, and it wasn't until the second whip came down with a sharp whistling wind that she understood that she was afraid that she would have to suffer the flogging. The second whip was not as crisp as the first, not because the executioner had deducted some strength from his hands, but because the flesh on her back had already cracked a bloody wound, and she was unable to stand on tiptoe after a few circles, so the wound was not real, followed by another whip, and then a blood mark, looking at the past, the backs of the two were red.

She bit her lower lip and stared at Du Ruhui on the wooden frame, and she had already guessed a little bit of his intention in her heart, so she forced herself to turn her eyes to the generals behind her to see how effective this bitter plan was.

Halfway through the execution, sure enough, the generals looked directly at Tang Guogong, and a few even moved their feet, wanting to stop talking. There were also a few tigers with tiger faces, bowing their heads and saying nothing, and their dissatisfaction was overflowing. was even more bold and straightforward, and simply threw a disdainful glance at Tang Guogong, who was still sitting firmly behind the high case.

This prince of the country, first to protect Mingzhe's life, made the soldiers starving, but when something happened, he watched his son and his powerful henchman bear the guilt, and did not dare to speak out to protect each other. On the other hand, Li Erlang not only won a good reputation for strict military law in front of the people, but also showed his responsibility to live and die together in front of the generals. Mu Qing thought about it in his heart, his sin was not in vain, it was not a loss at all. Du Ruhui wants to suffer with him at this time, and from then on, his affection is better than his father and brother, and he is afraid that he will obey his words and rely on him wholeheartedly in the future, which is really a good strategy. Mu Qing sighed deeply, this move was very cruel to himself.

In the blink of an eye, the execution was over. The soldiers standing behind them rushed up, hurriedly lowered the two from the wooden frame, and helped them to sit on the high chairs on the side. Whether it was Zhang Changshi or Tang Guogong, Mu Qing didn't have the heart to take a look at others, and he didn't know where the strength came from, so he stretched out his hand to push away the crowd of onlookers, and squeezed his whole body desperately to Du Ruhui.

It was the height of summer, and the sweat on his forehead was falling down one by one, I don't know if it was hot sweat or painful cold sweat. There are several bloody cuts on his back, which are impressive. Mu Qing suddenly burst into tears.

He seemed to hear her voice, and when he looked up, she was really in front of him, his wide eyes were full of a bag of tears, sweat wet the emanation on both sides of his cheeks, and a lock of dampness stuck to his face, that look pitiful, Xu was horrified, he endured the sharp pain on his back, barely pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, and reached out to tuck the emanation on her cheek behind his ear, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, it's okay." The probe touched the wound on his back, and although he was still smiling, he frowned.

Over there, Tang Guogong called someone to support Li Erlang to return to the house to treat his injuries, and personally went to Du Ruhui to comfort him with kind words, assigned three or four followers, and ordered them to send him back to the house.

The crowd of onlookers has not yet dispersed, and they are talking in groups, seeing that Du Ruhui was helped out, he automatically gave way to a way, in the end, it was the matter of the official family, he didn't dare to say more, and he avoided it far away. Mu Qing followed behind them, walking back in a trance, but fortunately, the house was behind the mansion, and he arrived after a few steps.

Seeing this, Ah Liu saw this formation at the door, and shouted in shock. Ada walked out of the courtyard quickly, took over from the entourage, and helped him into the house with one hand. Mu Qing hastily thanked the entourage at the door, sent them away, and hurried into the house to see his injuries.

There are dressings such as Jin Chuang's daily preparation in the house, and because the wound is easy to collapse due to the heat, she doesn't dare to bandage him, so she only teaches Ah Liu to boil the water quickly, and puts the boiled cooked water in a few bowls to cool it faster. She went to fetch a few pieces of cloth, dipped them in cool cooked water, and carefully washed his wounds.

"This injury doesn't bother anything, just take care of it for a few days. When I was young, I practiced with the master of fists and feet, and the master was so good that he got a few injuries in three or two days, and he was used to it, so he didn't have to ......" Du Ruhui endured the pain and said to himself.

Mu Qing ignored him, and after saying a few more words, he was interrupted by her, "Let's just recuperate, if you talk too much like this, it really doesn't hurt?" As he spoke, he added a little force to his hand, and immediately heard his suppressed inhalation.

She put down the cloth in her hand and sighed: "In the future, no matter what you seek, don't hurt yourself again." Hurting the enemy and causing self-damage is not a coincidence. ”

As he spoke, there was a knock on the door like a torrential rain. Ada ran to open the door, Yinghua entered the door and stuffed the reins of the horse into Ada's hand, and ran into the house in a hurry. He was followed by another man, who handed Ada the reins in one hand and stretched out the other hand to the healer on horseback.

Yinghua rushed into the house, called a few "brother-in-law", and suddenly saw him sitting naked, but felt a little embarrassed, hurriedly turned around, pulled Zhao Cang, who was following in, and said hurriedly: "Hurry up and clean up those wounds, it's going to fester." ”

"Have you been to Erlang's place?" Mu Qing asked her thoughtlessly, Yinghua was slightly stunned, "I haven't gone yet." Another doctor had gone to pick up the whip wounds for him, so I followed Dr. Zhao here to see my brother-in-law first. ”

Mu Qing stood silently for a while, his heart wriggled for a while, and Fang Twelve Thousand was reluctant to say, "Go and see Erlang." ”

Yinghua looked at her strangely, with a strange expression on her face that seemed to be a smile but not a smile, and then nodded silently, turned around and went to the backyard to lead the horse.

Zhao Cang had neatly cleaned up the wounds on Du Ruhui's back, scrubbed his hands on one wall, and instructed Mu Qing how to take care of them. "Don't cover the wound too tightly, just a thin layer of fine yarn to make it breathable." Mu Qing nodded.

"In the middle of the summer right now, don't teach sweat stains to flow into the wound, and avoid the wound when bathing." Zhao Cang stopped thinking about it, and added, "If you don't wash it, don't wash it, you just wipe it for him every day." Mu Qing blushed slightly.

Zhao Cang didn't check at all, and still said with a casual look: "Before the wound scabs and peels off, don't exert force on the shoulders and arms, control them a little, and carefully tear the wound again." I don't know if he means what he called "moderation", Mu Qing blushed, lowered his head and whispered, his head was about to hang down to his chest.

It was so hot that even the cicadas were lazy and hissed, fainting one by one, falling from the high branches to the ground from time to time. Every day before the middle of the day, Ah Liu would fetch a few buckets of water from the well and splash the walls of the house to cool herself, and Ada could not bear her toiling in the sun, so he always did it for her. In the past half a month, Du Ruhui has been raising him, but he has been rare to be idle, but he was surprised when he saw this situation, and asked Mu Qing busily, "When is this?" ”

Mu Qing smiled and said: "When I don't know, when I realize it, it is on the way to Jincheng County, and it should have been a long time. ”

"When I return to the Eastern Capital, I'll do it for them." Du Ruyan said idly, "Can you give up Ah Liu?" ”

"How reluctant, left and right out of the house." For Mu Qing, this couldn't be better.

I hadn't gossiped like this for a long time, and after saying a few words, Ah Liu came in and said, "He Sui Ah Lang is here." ”

Mu Qing frowned, "You talk to him, I'll go and see your medicine later." ”

Du Ruhui knew that she was tired of He Suizhao, nodded with a smile, and watched her back curl towards the backyard.

He Suizhao didn't greet him politely when he entered the house, he found a seat to sit down, and only asked casually how the whiplash was, and then said: "Yang Xuangan's army has been defeated." ”

Du Ruhui sat up straight, held his back, and felt a faint pain. Mu Qing looked at the medicine, returned to the main house from the back, and walked behind the screen of the block, and listened to this sentence coldly, and was also taken aback.

I only heard He Suizhao continue: "The eastern capital can't be attacked for a long time, and he can't afford to delay, so he has to abandon Luoyang City and take Guanzhong directly." That Li Mi was really a very profitable person, and when he passed through Hongnong Palace, he coaxed him to stay, and dragged it for three days, until Yuwenshu led the troops to come up. Yang Xuangan was defeated repeatedly, and finally took his relatives and fled to Shangluo overnight. ”

"Can you catch him?" Du Ruhui asked.

He was forced to Jialushu by his pursuers, and seeing that he had no way to live, he did not want to be humiliated, so he ordered his brother to assassinate him. His brother was then captured and has now been escorted to Luoyang City along with Yang Xuangan's body. Alas, he can be regarded as a brave man, but alas. He Suizhao sighed, then turned the conversation and said: "Duke Li has received the official letter, and since the rebellion has been quelled, he is ordered to lead the troops back to the eastern capital in the near future." The number of soldiers originally reported was only 20,000, and the remaining 60,000 were not easy to bring back to the Eastern Capital. ”

Du Ruhui didn't hear it, and casually pulled another thing and asked, "Zhang Changshi's instructions for secretly communicating with the Turks can be sent together, but is there a mistake?" ”

Mu Qing was shocked again, secretly communicating with the Turks, how could the straw bag have such guts.

He Suizhao said with a smile: "The incriminating evidence I made with my own hands will never be flawed." The instructions came with the official letter, and ordered Li Gong to take it down and escort him back to the Eastern Capital. There were already people in the DPRK and China, and the newly assigned Changshi was Li Gong's proud protΓ©gΓ©. ”

It was originally planted that Zhang Changshi for collaborating with the enemy, so that the imperial court removed him, and took the opportunity to install his family in Honghua County as Changshi, so as to hide the Li family's private army. Mu Qing was secretly speculating in his heart, and suddenly heard Du Ruhan say coldly: "If that long history is about to make trouble, it will inevitably teach people to be suspicious, and it will be a bad thing." ”

"What does Brother Du mean?" He Suizhao asked hesitantly.

"Killed on the way." His voice was very different from his usual gentleness and elegance, so strange that Mu Qing didn't dare to recognize him, and for a moment a large piece of cold ice fell in his heart.
