Chapter 212: The Ensuing Crisis

See his smug look.

Li Chengqian was a little unconvinced.

As we all know, Li Shimin's biggest hobby is collecting famous horses and treasures.

For example, now that Li Shimin is riding this horse under his crotch, it is not an ordinary war horse.

The name of this war horse is Baiho Wu, one of the famous Six Horses of Zhaoling.

And the horse under Li Chengqian's crotch was casually pulled out of the barracks by Cheng Huailiang.

If this is compared to the horse under Li Shimin's crotch, it is simply a heaven and an underground.

It's no wonder that Li Chengqian is not convinced.

When he caught up with Li Shimin again, he said directly: "If the horse under the crotch of the sons can have half of the treasure horses under the crotch of the emperor, the sons and ministers will ......."

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly heard a thud.

Immediately afterwards, Li Chengqian's whole person turned to the side.

Now the war horse is in a state of galloping, and if he plants the war horse, the consequences are unimaginable.

Not to mention being directly killed by a fall, it will definitely end up with broken bones and tendons.

Li Shimin on the side couldn't help but be shocked and shouted: "Qian'er! ”

Li Chengqian, who lost his balance, could only pull the reins of the war horse to stabilize his body, so that he would not fall off the war horse.

But the reins are in the horse's mouth.

Li Chengqian grabbed it so hard, the war horse must have suffered pain.

I saw that the war horse suddenly stopped and slid forward for a long time.

When the body was stable, the horse raised its front hooves and neighed loudly.

At the moment when the war horse was about to topple, Li Chengqian's waist twisted and turned over and dismounted.

As his feet landed on the ground, the horse fell in front of him.

I don't know if Li Chengqian was stupid by the sudden change or what.

After flipping off his horse, he stared blankly at the leather saddle.

The stirrup on the right side of the saddle had broken, and he wouldn't have nearly fallen off his horse if it hadn't been for that.

Because of the craftsmanship problems of this era, it was not uncommon for stirrups to break.

It's just that Li Chengqian found that there was an obvious cut mark where the stirrup was broken.

Obviously, the stirrup was cut......

Doesn't this make it clear that someone is trying to harm him?

At this time, Li Chengqian finally remembered the history of Li Chengqian in his previous life.

After becoming the crown prince, Li Chengqian also received great attention from Li Shimin.

Li Shimin also tried his best to train him to be a prince.

But then, it was different.

It is said that it was because Li Chengqian fell off his horse and broke his leg when he was riding a horse.

Since then, although Li Shimin has not said anything, he has begun to become increasingly disappointed in this lame son.

didn't treat Li Chengqian like he did at the beginning, but instead gave his favor to his second son Li Tai, who was outstanding in literature.

And after Li Chengqian was lame, bad luck also came to him.

Now this history seems to be playing out on its own again......

"Qian'er?"

It was also when Li Chengqian was stunned.

Li Shimin galloped on horseback, and when Li Chengqian approached, he hurriedly turned over and dismounted.

Li Chengqianzai looked at him carefully, and when he saw that he was fine, he was relieved.

He looked down at the stirrup, his brow furrowed slightly.

"What's the matter with this stirrup?"

"Nothing."

"It's just that it takes too long, and there is no regular maintenance."

Li Chengqian had a smile on his face, and he didn't care about the smile.

But Li Shimin is not a fool, how could he not notice the cut marks on the stirrups?

Li Shimin said with a gloomy face: "In this case, let's hurry up and go back." ”

"If it's too late, your queen mother will have to wait in a hurry."

"Hmm."

Li Chengqian didn't say much about this matter, and led the war horse and Li Shimin to move forward in the direction he came.

Because of the cut marks on the saddle, the father and son were very heavy.

Although they were walking side by side, no one spoke.

After being silent for a long time, it was Li Shimin who took the lead to speak.

"There are no outsiders here."

"I, as a father, just want to ask you one thing."

"You must answer me honestly."

Li Chengqian glanced at Li Shimin: "Father, please ask." ”

"Why are you so resistant to being a prince?"

Li Shimin has been struggling with this issue for a long time.

But he never asked.

He just felt that Li Chengqian was too young and playful, and he didn't want to take on the responsibility of being the prince.

But as he got to know Li Chengqian more and more, he realized it profoundly.

Li Chengqian doesn't want to be the prince, it's not as simple as it seems on the surface.

And for Li Shimin's question.

Li Chengqian was silent for a moment, and then said: "I just don't want to fight, I don't want to rob." ”

Hearing this, Li Shimin's heart moved.

Immediately after, he stopped and looked back at Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian also stopped and looked at Li Shimin.

"The position of the crown prince seems to be high, and he will inherit the throne in the future."

"But have you ever thought about it, father, sitting on the crown prince is equivalent to being an enemy of your brother and an enemy of everyone."

"I really don't want to one day make a fuss in front of you and let you watch your flesh and blood kill each other."

"If I had to choose, I'd rather give it up."

"I'd rather be mediocre, and I'd rather be scolded by my father for the rest of my life as a waste."

"Only in this way can I always be by my father's side and laugh with him."

"Only in this way can I always be by my mother's side and be coquettish with my mother......"

Li Chengqian looked at Li Shimin and smiled bitterly.

He is a dead man from the twenty-first century.

He lost his family.

It was not easy to integrate into this era and into the current family.

He cherishes his own life and his current family.

He didn't want to die because of the word prince.

He didn't want to lose everything he cherished because of these two words.

Li Chengqian pursed his lips and looked at Li Shimin: "In my eyes, being a prince is far less important than my relatives. ”

"So the sons and daughters implore their fathers and emperors not to force the sons and daughters anymore."

"Erchen just wants to be a son, he really doesn't want to be a prince."

After speaking, he didn't care what Li Shimin thought, he just took steps and continued to move forward.

Look at his lonely back.

Li Shimin wanted to cry and laugh at the same time.

I want to cry because he once killed so many relatives for the crown prince and for the throne.

I want to laugh because his son can really get out of the mud without staining in the royal dyeing vat, which has been stained with the heart of battle since birth.

Li Shimin shook his head and sighed.

Just as he was about to step forward to catch up with Li Chengqian.

Suddenly, the alert nerves that had grown from years of playing on the battlefield suddenly tightened.

Li Shimin subconsciously shouted: "Qian'er, something is wrong here." ”

It was at the moment when he said this.

I only heard the sound of a breaking wind coming from all directions.

Hearing this voice, Li Chengqian's mind had not yet reacted.

But the body has already made a move to evade.

The next moment, I saw that the war horse that was moving forward with Li Chengqian had been shot into a hedgehog by arrows.

Li Chengqian stuck to the ground, rolled again and again, and rolled to a boulder on the side of the road, and finally escaped the rain of arrows.

Even though he reacted so quickly, his shoulder was still cut by the flying arrows.

At that moment, Li Chengqian's painful cold sweat came down.

Li Chengqian hid behind the boulder.

Temporarily dodged the crisis.

But at this time, he suddenly remembered that Li Shimin was still outside.

Just as he was about to probe out to look for it, someone suddenly grabbed his shoulder.

Looking back, who else could this be Li Shimin?
