Chapter 301: Broken Foot
Chapter 325: Broken Foot
Changlepo is located to the east of Chang'an. This place is close to the canal, and the canal water brought by the cylinder car is used to irrigate this slope and produce 100 acres of fertile land.
At this time, spring ploughing has entered the stage of sweeping, and there are no ploughing cattle in the fields. Seeds had been sown under the turned soil, exuding the smell of earth.
At this time, the ploughing cattle used for spring ploughing are divided into two types: private cattle and official cattle. Private cattle are privately owned ploughing cattle, and official cattle belong to the government, and every year in the spring ploughing, the people only need to spend some copper coins, they can rent official cattle to plough for their own land. Of course, there are not many private owners who can own ploughing cattle, and farmers mostly rent official cattle for farming. At this time, the spring ploughing was almost over, so many of the ploughing cattle had been returned to the government.
When Li Chengqian rode a horse and dragged a carving cart to Changle Slope, he only saw patches of cultivated fields, and immediately turned his head to Yunping and asked, "Yunping, where are the ploughing cattle you are talking about?" It's empty around here, but there's nothing! ”
Yun Ping glanced around, and also said in a low voice: "It's strange, this spring ploughing is not over yet, why is there no cow industry?" Your Highness, if you don't do this, you and I will take two people and now go around, and the rest of the people are waiting to build a stove nearby and collect firewood, what do you think, Your Highness? ”
Li Chengqian nodded: "Okay, I'll wait and take a look!" ”
As he spoke, he led Yun Ping and the two guards to gently pinch the horse's belly and instigate the horse to walk slowly. Along the way, I saw many farmers planting seeds in the fields. Occasionally, I saw someone ploughing the ground with a ploughing ox, but he walked away with a wry smile. Could it be that Li Chengqian still rushed forward and said to the farmer: "Hello, I am Li Chengqian, the prince of the Tang Dynasty, and I am now requisitioning your ploughing cattle for food!" Today you are giving and giving, and you have to give if you don't give! "If he does, he will have to disgrace the whole royal family!
I walked around the neighborhood twice, but I didn't see any cattle or sheep to pick up.
Looking at the sky again, it was already three o'clock in the morning, and there was still an hour before the city gate was closed. So Li Chengqian's heart gradually became anxious.
Just when Li Chengqian and Yun Ping were about to go back, they suddenly heard a cow's cry coming from the woods next to the field. Li Chengqian looked in that direction and saw two ploughing oxen, one black and one yellow, gnawing on the grass on the ground with their heads down. Two ropes drawn from the nose are tied to a low tree.
As soon as he saw these two cows, Li Chengqian suddenly became excited, pulled Yunping's arm, pointed to the two cows and said, "Yunping, do you see it, there are two cows there, there are two cows there!" ”
Yun Ping looked at the two cows, and suddenly smiled bitterly. He could clearly see that the tree had a sign carved with a feather arrow, and the mark was as new as new, apparently not long after it had been carved out. Seeing this child-like expression of Li Chengqian now, although he couldn't bear it, he could only continue. If you don't do it, I'm afraid that you and your wife and children's lives will be lost, and if you do, maybe those people will spare their wives and children's lives for the sake of their own death.
Just thinking about it, Li Chengqian was already in the belly of a horse and walked over there. The two guards immediately followed. Na Yunping also followed behind on horseback.
Not far from the two oxen, the four dismounted and walked slowly in the direction of the oxen.
The two cows caught a glimpse of the four people gradually coming in this direction, and immediately let out a "moo-" cry, and then raised their heads uneasily, shook their heads and tails, and changed directions from time to time.
"No, Your Highness, these two cows seem to be extraordinarily irritable!" A guard couldn't help but say to Li Chengqian, "Your Highness, it's better to be careful!" With that, the guard stood in front of Li Chengqian responsibly.
However, Li Chengqian suddenly felt a slight sense of grievance. I was born so big, not to mention that I haven't been on the battlefield, even when facing the ploughing cattle, I will be covered by the guards, is it really bad for me?
Thinking of this, Li Chengqian said loudly: "Get out of the way!" There was an irrefutable momentum in his tone.
The guard was stunned for a moment, and then respectfully let the debut.
Seeing that the four of them were getting closer and closer to the two oxen, the two oxen finally let out a long roar: "Moo-" and began to raise their hooves and rushed towards the four of them.
Because of the ropes, the two oxen had not gone far before the nose of the cow that had been pulled hurt by it, so it had to stop, take two steps back, and return to the edge of the little tree.
When Li Chengqian saw this, he immediately chuckled, and then walked forward boldly, and said as he walked: "The two of you will work together later, slaughtering these two cows!" ”
The two guards had no choice but to agree.
Seeing that he was at the side of the two cows again, the guard was about to make a move, when suddenly a "pop-" sound came out of nowhere, and then a middle-aged man's voice sounded: "Straight mother thief, who is stealing my cow!" ”
The sound came from the opposite ridge, but it spread throughout Changle Slope.
When Li Chengqian heard this, he was immediately terrified, if people found out his identity as the crown prince, the consequences would be serious.
The two guards obviously thought the same way, but they all put away their swords, helped Li Chengqian up from left to right, turned around and ran in the direction of the horses.
But just as they turned, the two cows rushed towards them. The momentum was so strong that it broke the small tree.
The black bull rushed to the front and rushed straight towards Li Chengqian, who was retreating.
Seeing that the horns of the cow were about to hit Li Chengqian, one of the guards swooped back and blocked the black bull with his body. However, the black bull didn't know what to eat, and his strength was so great that he saw the bull's head raised, and he knocked the guard into the air.
Then. The black bull continued to rush again.
Finally, when Li Chengqian was about to get on the horse, the black bull suddenly hit his back and knocked him to the ground. Then the black bull stepped mercilessly over Li Chengqian's left ankle.
only heard a soft "click", and Li Chengqian suddenly let out an earth-shattering roar: "Ah-"
After the black bull passed, the scalper followed and stepped on Li Chengqian's ankle again impartially.
"Wow-" The huge pain made Li Chengqian's roar rise again, covering his ankles with both hands, and curled up on the ground without any image.
The two oxen that rushed past turned around and were about to trample the people on the ground again when a horizontal knife flew out and pierced the black bull's neck. Suddenly, the blood of the black cow that had been cut through the artery spurted like a spring, and it fell to the ground without running two steps. Blood flowed out, staining the land a dark red. This knife was like the guard who was hit by the black bull first, and in a hurry, he threw the horizontal knife, and then killed the black bull.
Although the black bull died, the scalper still rushed over.
At this time, another guard waved the horizontal knife in his hand and rushed out at the scalper. A man and a cow crashed together. The guards were knocked high and fell to the ground. And the ox was stuck in the head from top to bottom with a horizontal knife.
The two guards were also seriously injured, and were hit by the bull, breaking at least three ribs.
At this time, Na Yunping rushed over, looked at Li Chengqian, who was curled up on the ground, and hurriedly came over to support: "Your Highness, Your Highness, what's wrong with you?" ”
Li Chengqian pointed to his ankle, gritted his teeth, and let out a faint moan from his mouth.
Yun Ping hurriedly took off Li Chengqian's boots in a hurry, lifted his trouser leg, and saw that the blood stain on the ankle of his left foot was flowing down, dyeing the trouser leg red. This is only a flesh wound on the outside, and its ankle is obviously swollen, and I don't know what the bones inside have become.
Yun Ping picked up Li Chengqian, carried him on his back, and walked back with a brisk walk.
Seeing this, the two guards hurriedly shouted, "Horse, Yun guard, there are horses here!" ”
However, Yun Ping had already run away.
The two guards had no choice but to ride two horses and chase Yunping away with two horses.
After catching up with Yun Ping, Yun Ping suddenly became in a trance, complaining about himself repeatedly, he was so anxious that he even forgot about the horses!
Helping Li Chengqian onto his horse, Yun Ping then rode on his horse, and then galloped towards the place where the guards were.
After arriving at the place where the guards were, the guards who were collecting firewood and burying the pot saw that their Royal Highness's leg was injured like this, they panicked immediately, dropped the work in their hands, helped Li Chengqian off the horse, sent him to the carriage, and then ran in the direction of Chang'an City with a guard with superb driving skills.
At this time, it is the hour of the unitary hour, and as soon as the time comes, the gate of Chang'an City will be closed.
So a carriage was followed by several cavalrymen galloping on the official road to Chang'an.
It was a rampage along the way, regardless of whether there were people or cars in front of him, and he yelled "The horse is frightened, get out of the way!" Speeding past.
The people or carts who had let them look at these knights and carriages as if they were in proper control, and there were traces of half of the horses' startles!
When everyone came to the gate of the city, the soldiers guarding the gate saw the horses galloping and the carriage galloping, and were about to come up to stop them, but the guards of the East Palace in front threw a waist card from afar.
The soldier took it, and immediately said nothing, and told the way to be made for the knights and carriages to pass.
At the moment when he staggered past the guards of the city, the guards in front of him grabbed back the waist card that he had thrown out.
Galloping on Chang'an Avenue and seeing that he had arrived at the Imperial City, the guard who was driving shouted: "Go to the Tai Hospital or to the East Palace?" ”
"Too Hospital!" Yun Ping roared out first. The rest of the guards were also silent, and no one objected.
The guard who drove the car shook his whip and controlled the horse to run in the direction of the hospital.
Just on the edge of an intersection, the carriage whizzed past Zhang Yunwen.
Outside the Tai Hospital, the first guards rushed into the Tai Hospital, came straight to the hall, looked at the Tai Doctors who were studying medical skills or preparing herbs, took a deep breath, and solemnly shouted: "The prince has arrived!" ”
These imperial doctors hurriedly went out and gathered in the hall, bowed in unison and said, "Welcome to His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”
What they saw next, however, was a shocking sight.
I saw a tall guard appear at the door of the hall with Li Chengqian on his back. The trouser leg of Li Chengqian's left foot was already blood-red.
