Chapter 21 Knowing the Origin
After drinking a half-night wine in relative silence, early the next morning, Li Zhifeng rushed to the county government of Yangding County in accordance with what Shan Zhuokun said. As a senior catcher, firstly, she knew that it was impossible for the leader to give her a long vacation, and secondly, it was also to better increase her weight in the hearts of Li Yuanchang and others, and prepare for the next things.
After Li Zhifeng left, Shan Zhuokun first simply ate some compressed biscuits in the tent, and then slowly came to the tent where Li Yuanchang lived while humming a brisk little song.
Sure enough, after a night's rest, Li Yuanchang at this moment has recovered his former spirit. Not only did his pale face become ruddy, but even his breathing, which was so rapid from his injuries, stabilized again. It's just that people are still in a groggy sleep, and they haven't woken up for the time being.
Suddenly, Shan Zhuokun walked into the tent, and after going straight to the bedside to examine Li Yuanchang's injuries, he leaned down, put his mouth to Li Yuanchang's ear, and shouted 'ah' in a loud voice.
Li Yuanchang was startled by this sudden shout in his dream, opened his eyes suddenly, and sat up straight. When he saw the appearance of the person in front of him clearly, his frightened expression relaxed.
"King Han, did you sleep well last night?" Shan Zhuokun came to the table and sat down, lifted the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea, looked at Li Yuanchang, and said with a smile, "No matter how this dream goes?" At the very least, it's long enough. ”
A blank look appeared on Li Yuanchang's face, and he didn't understand the meaning of Shan Zhuokun's words. Just as he was about to ask, the wound on his chest was painful because of this cold and hard pulling, and a slight cry of pain came out of his mouth. He hurriedly looked down, and then he remembered what happened last night in a trance, and hurriedly raised his head and asked:
"Shangxian, ...... this king last night?"
Shan Zhuokun waved his hand and joked with a smile: "It seems that King Han is really a noble man who forgets things, but he just slept and even forgot yesterday's heroic deeds." But don't worry, this immortal has all been disposed of. ”
Li Yuanchang nodded suddenly in realization, got up with a smile and gave a deep salute to Shan Zhuokun: "Thank you for the life-saving grace of the immortals." Shangxian, don't worry, when we return to Chang'an, this king will explain this matter to his brother and let him reward you well. ”
Shan Zhuokun put the teacup on the table, got up and came to Li Yuanchang's approach, and stretched out his hand to help the other party: "King Han, don't be polite to me, these are just a gesture." Moreover, even if you want to thank me, you can't just thank me, there is another person who plays a greater role. ”
"Oh?" Li Yuanchang looked at Shan Zhuokun in surprise and asked, "Who is it?" ”
Shan Zhuokun was about to inform the other party about Li Zhifeng's blood transfusion to Li Yuanchang the night before, when he heard a burst of strong footsteps suddenly sounded outside the tent. Knowing that it must be that Wei Chi's father and son were not worried about Li Yuanchang's injury, they came to visit early in the morning. So, I also changed the topic:
"King Han, it may be that the Duke of Eguo and General Wei Chi have come to see you. You sit down first, and we'll talk about it later. ”
Li Yuanchang was already curious, but when he heard Shan Zhuokun say this, he also came to the table, sat down steadily, and waited for Yu Chi's father and son to enter the tent to talk.
After a while, when the footsteps were getting closer and closer, Yu Chi Gong and Yu Chi Baolin walked into the tent one after the other. Seeing that Li Yuanchang had woken up, the father and son were drinking tea with Shan Zhuokun as usual, and their faces suddenly showed joy, and they hugged their fists and said:
"Wechen has seen King Han."
Although he didn't say it, Li Yuanchang also knew that Wei Chi's father and son must have been tired of their own affairs last night and didn't have a good rest. Therefore, he got up with a smile and came to Wei Chigong's face, and said slowly:
"Duke E and Brother Baolin worked hard last night, don't worry, this king's injuries have been healed, and he will be healed in a few days."
Yu Chi's father and son glanced at each other, their smiles couldn't help but get bigger, and their eyebrows were full of joy. Yu Chi Baolin first helped Li Yuanchang to sit down at the table, and then lifted the teapot and poured tea for the four of them. After putting the teapot in its place, he sat down and said to Shan Zhuokun beside him:
"Shangxian is really profound, King Han's injury last night was obviously extremely serious, I don't want to get better this morning. Could it be that this is the method of blood transfusion you mentioned? ”
Shan Zhuokun pursed a smile on his lips, nodded, and affirmed: "General Wei Chi is not wrong at all, I did use a blood transfusion to treat King Han last night. ”
Yu Chi Baolin snorted lightly, with a convincing look on his face: "It seems that this blood transfusion method is really good." It's just that we are all resting, and who is the blood transfused for the king of Han? By the way, didn't the Immortal say that it is better to use the blood of your loved ones? But the royal family and clan are all far away in Chang'an, who will Shangxian ask to help? ”
Shan Zhuokun smiled at Yu Chi Baolin, but did not answer the question directly. Instead, he moved his gaze to Wei Chigong, who was sitting next to Li Yuanchang, and said in words:
"This question should be asked to answer Brother Baolin."
Li Yuanchang and Wei Chi Baolin heard Shan Zhuokun say this, and their curiosity couldn't help but become stronger. After quickly exchanging a look, he looked at Wei Chigong at the same time. But seeing that he was staring down at the teacup at the moment, he frowned slightly, looking thoughtful.
There was silence in the tent, and even breathing became rapid. I don't know why, at this moment, Li Yuanchang suddenly had an inexplicable worry, as if a major event related to his fate was about to happen.
After a while, Wei Chigong raised his head, and after taking a deep breath, he said to Li Yuanchang in a relaxed tone:
"King Han, you are nineteen years old now. According to the royal ancestral system, the government can be opened next year. There are many things that you must be able to accept as well, and since this is the case, the minister will directly state it. ”
Yu Chi Baolin was stunned at first, in his memory, because his father was a military general, he always liked to speak to others in a tone of absolute command. It's the first time I've seen such a gentle state, so I guess this thing must be extremely different. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at Li Yuanchang again, only to see that a thin layer of sweat had oozed from the other party's forehead, and his expression was also very nervous, so he urged:
"Dad, what the hell is going on? Just say it. Otherwise, even if you are not shocked by the incident, you will be scared to death by your momentum. ”
Yu Chi Baolin originally wanted to use witty words to make this solemn and embarrassing atmosphere more relaxed, but what he didn't want to attract was his father's fierce glare. He knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he stuck out his tongue and quickly lowered his head and said no more.
"Eguogong, what is the matter? But it doesn't hurt for you to say it. After a moment of silence, Li Yuanchang spoke, "Don't worry, no matter what important things are, this king can bear it." ”
Li Yuanchang's words are not unreasonable. Although he is the eighth son of Emperor Li Yuan, the biological brother of Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, and the king of Han, he has the position of a high prince, and he enjoys endless glory and wealth. However, in all fairness, there has always been an emotional alienation from others. It's like being wrapped in an invisible piece of ice, always like that.
The reason why it became like this is not only because Li Yuanchang was born with a weak temperament, he was proud of himself, and he was unwilling to make friends with others. is also because his mother, Concubine He, is always surprisingly polite to him, even when he was a child, he quarreled with other brothers, and his mother only punished ordinary people, but for him, he was still just a spring breeze and a smile.
However, this state is like an extinct volcano waiting to erupt at any time, the more pleasant he is, the more it seems that the contradictions that will erupt at any time are enough to tear him apart, and Li Yuanchang vaguely feels panic and fear.
Sure enough, the contradiction is in the next second.
"King Han, you are not Concubine He's biological son......" Wei Chigong struggled for a moment, and finally chose to let the truth of the matter surface.
Li Yuanchang's body shook, the expression on his face suddenly became complicated, and his voice trembled unconsciously due to this sudden change:
"This king is not Concubine He's biological son?"
He looked at Wei Chigong with empty eyes, and couldn't help but sneer in his heart, hehe, I'm really afraid of something. Li Yuanchang, I didn't expect you to really fall from a high place one day, how tragic and tragic it will be. Does it hurt? There seems to be a little, but why is there something to look forward to in my heart, it's like a mystery that has been hidden for many years, waiting for the moment to finally be revealed.
"Yes." Yu Chigong nodded, "King Han is not Concubine He's biological son, your mother's name is Gan Lingsu, she is a member of the Gan family in Longxi, and the sister of Taifu Ganchen's compatriots. In addition, you also have a twin sister named Li Zhifeng. ”
This time, Wei Chigong's words not only frightened Li Yuanchang, but also made Wei Chi Baolin stunned. He quickly stood up, his eyes widened, and he said in a loud voice:
"Dad, you have this Li Zhifeng, could it be that she is Zhifeng girl?"
"Yes." Shan Zhuokun didn't wait for Wei Chigong to speak, so he preemptively said, "It's her." ”
Yu Chi Baolin couldn't help but be stunned, in order to completely dispel the doubts in his heart, he asked anxiously again:
"That'..... That means that she was the one who gave King Han a blood transfusion last night? ”
Shan Zhuokun didn't speak, just nodded affirmatively.
Yu Chi Baolin gasped heavily, his body weakened, and he sat down. This is really a shocking secret that he has never thought of, although after this period of time together, he really admires this heroic and capable, not to let the bearded female catch fast, but no matter what, he can't imagine that people still have the extremely noble identity of the princess, this can't be the legendary crow turned phoenix, right?
Wei Chigong looked at Li Yuanchang with concern, knowing that his heart must be up and down at the moment. However, as the saying goes, the arrow has to be sent on the string, and since this is the case, it is better to make it clear now, and save yourself from having a knot in the future.
"King Han, now that your injuries have improved, then you should go to Yangding County to see Miss Zhifeng as soon as possible. The reason for this is so that the old minister can explain it in front of the two of you. ”
Li Yuanchang lowered his head slightly, silent in thought. For some reason, he actually felt a sense of homesickness at the moment. It's no wonder that he and Li Zhifeng only met for a short time, but they invisibly had an indescribable closeness to her, as if they had not seen an old friend for a long time. This may be the providence in the underworld and the tacit understanding of the twin brothers and sisters.
Shan Zhuokun smiled at Li Yuanchang, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and said slightly teasingly: "King Han, you are a dignified man, don't be so twisty." Rest assured, we will go with you. ”
Li Yuanchang breathed a sigh of relief gently, and under the gaze of everyone, he quickly got up and went straight out of the tent.
"Brother Yuanchang, where are you going?" Yu Chi Baolin asked.
Shan Zhuokun stretched out his hand and pulled Yu Chi Baolin, and before he could speak, he heard the person outside the tent say:
"Yangding County."
Shan Zhuokun patted Yu Chi Baolin, stretched out the thumb of his right hand and shook it in front of him, and then turned his head to look at Yu Chi Gong. The two men came to their senses, followed him, and walked together towards the tent door.
