Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Princess Is Seriously Injured (Ask for Recommended Collection)
"Where are you, boy, hurry up and get me out!" The knight on the horse shouted in a hoarse voice.
"Uncle Ma?" Li Xiu also ran out of the room at this time, but he was a little uncertain and shouted, judging from the tone of the other party's speech, it should be Ma Sanbao, but because his voice was too hoarse, and his face was full of mud formed by sweat and dust, he couldn't see his original appearance at all, so he didn't dare to be sure for a while.
Seeing Li Xiu come out, the knight who immediately suspected of being a horse master immediately showed a look of ecstasy, and urged the horse to rush directly to Li Xiu, which scared him and wanted to hide but couldn't dodge, but he didn't expect the horse to rush directly next to him, and the knight on the horse bent down and actually held him under the armpit, and then slapped the horse again and jumped over the wall, and ran quickly towards the official road.
"Uncle Ma, aren't you fighting on the front line, and suddenly you came back to arrest me, what are you doing?" At this time, Li Xiu finally determined that this knight was Ma Ye, and the armor he was wearing was the one he wore when he left, but compared to the original brilliance, now this armor is full of dust and blood and sweat, and there are many scars from swords and axes, which looks indescribably tragic.
However, Ma Ye did not answer Li Xiu's words, only to see him holding Li Xiu with one hand, and beating the horse's buttocks with a whip with the other, making this good horse also run forward with his life, Li Xiu only felt that his ears were full of "whirring" wind, and he felt like riding a motorcycle in later generations, and he didn't know where Ma Ye was so anxious to catch himself?
As soon as he went to the official road, Li Xiu saw Lao Qi and the others also galloping on horseback, followed by a carriage, and then Ma Ye rushed to the side of the carriage, threw Li Xiu into the carriage and shouted: "Go all your way, be sure to return to the barracks tonight!" ”
"Whoa!" Lao Qi and the others responded violently, and then turned the horse's head and followed Ma Ye and ran back, Li Xiu sat down in the carriage at this time, looked at the anxious Ma Ye in front of him, and then looked at Lao Qi not far away, and couldn't help but ask again, "Lao Qi, what's going on, Uncle Ma?" ”
"Help!" Lao Qi was still as simple as ever, and after finishing speaking, a whip was whipped on the back of the horse pulling the cart, which made the two horses scream in pain, and the exertion of their limbs increased the speed again, which also made Li Xiu of the carriage suddenly lean back and almost fell into a fight.
"Saving people? Can make Ma Ye so anxious, is it ......" Li Xiu suddenly thought of a possibility, and whispered to himself at the moment, only that person would make Ma Ye so anxious.
But then Li Xiu suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, since it was to save people, it must be someone who was sick or injured, the reason why Ma Ye thought of himself must be because of his wound suturing technique before, but apart from this, he really didn't know any medical skills, what if he couldn't save the other party when he got there?
Thinking of the above question, Li Xiu couldn't help but get nervous, he had known that if this was the case, he shouldn't have taken out the wound suture technique in the first place, the ancients said: Don't pretend to be forced, pretend to be forced to be struck by lightning! Now retribution has come.
The carriage bypassed Chang'an and galloped all the way to the north, in order to maintain speed on the way, Ma Ye and they also changed horses at a post station, among which the post man did not know Ma Ye's identity at first, thinking that they were just a group of ordinary soldiers, so he wanted to make it difficult for them, and even said that there were no horses in the post station, so they waited for a few days, but they were beaten by Ma Ye with a whip on his head and face, and then led people directly into the stable, grabbed dozens of horses and galloped away, which is also fortunate that Ma Ye was in a hurry, otherwise the post man would not be as simple as a whip.
The army pays attention to the order, Ma Ye said that he returned to the camp that night, then he would definitely not wait until tomorrow, even if they were tired and sleepy, but no one complained, but they all gritted their teeth and persisted, some of these people were still injured, and they couldn't hold on to the road, so they got off the horse, but Ma Ye and the others didn't even look at it, and it was not nice to say, even if Ma Ye fell off the horse, the others would not care at all, for them, the most important thing was to send Li Xiu to the barracks in time.
When it was about two watches in the evening, Li Xiu and the others finally came to a towering city, but at this time, because the sky was too dark, Li Xiu couldn't see what words were written on the city gate, and he didn't know where it was. Then Ma Ye and others rushed to the city gate and shouted a few words to the people at the head of the city, and then the city gate was opened, and the group rushed into the city as fast as possible.
Although it has been two watches, but there are still people in the city shouting horses, and the streets are full of patrolling soldiers, which makes Li Xiu's heart sink again, this is estimated to be Gyeongju, which is not far from Chang'an, last time Ma Ye left, he said that he was coming to Gyeongju, it seems that he has really reached the front line of the confrontation between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks.
The carriage pulled Li Xiu all the way to the center of the city, which was a well-guarded mansion, Ma Ye and a group of people came here with murderous spirit, which immediately aroused the vigilance of the guards, but when they saw that Ma Ye led the team, everyone relaxed, and then Ma Ye jumped off the horse, pulled Li Xiu off the carriage and went to the house.
"Uncle Ma, is the princess injured?" Li Xiu finally had the opportunity to ask at this time, if Ma Ye could tie him up to the barracks like a bandit, I am afraid that there is only Princess Pingyang in the world.
"Yes! Princess...... Princess, she was seriously injured, and all the doctors in the army were helpless, and the King of Qin sent people to look for famous doctors, but it was too late in time, so I had to bring you! Ma Ye said in a heavy voice, and when he said the end, a pair of tiger eyes were also full of tears, as the so-called 'men don't flick when they have tears, but they haven't reached the sad place', for Ma Ye, who has always been loyal to the princess, he would rather die than let the princess suffer any harm!
Li Xiu couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, he also wanted to save Princess Pingyang, but he only knew some basic medical knowledge in later generations, although sometimes it may play some unexpected appointments, but it was not orthodox medical skills after all, and Li Xiu was not a professional doctor, so he was not sure whether he could save Princess Pingyang.
And at this time, Li Xiu is not allowed to retreat, with Ma Ye's current mood, if he dares to say half a word, I am afraid that he will immediately cut himself with a knife, maybe even Li Yuan's father and son will think that he will not be saved when he dies, and then he will not want to mix in Datang. But if he goes to treat it, if Princess Pingyang is killed, the final fate is estimated to be very miserable, which makes him also in a dilemma.
Ma Ye took Li Xiu to the inner house of the mansion, which is a relatively quiet courtyard, but the courtyard and the outside are guarded by some heroic female soldiers, they are all the personal guards of Princess Pingyang, although the women's army is also an army composed of men, but Princess Pingyang is a woman after all, and there are many inconveniences in the army, so there will be guards composed of these women around her, these are also what Li Xiu has heard from Ma Ye before.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, Li Xiu immediately smelled a strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine, and the main room was also brightly lit, and even some quarrels could be faintly heard, which made Li Xiu a little strange, no matter what kind of injury, the injured should need to recuperate, how could there be a quarrel?
At that moment, Ma Ye took Li Xiu into the living room, only to see several elders dressed as doctors arguing around the table, as if no one could convince anyone. In addition to these doctors, there is also a person in the hall who cannot be ignored, I saw that this person is about twenty years old, tall and heroic, in fact, as soon as Li Xiu came in, he noticed this person at first sight, even if the other party was haggard at this time, and his long sword eyebrows were locked, but he still couldn't hide the terrifying light on his body, such a person should be the focus of the crowd wherever he went.
"The last general has seen His Royal Highness the King of Qin, and I have already brought the people!" I saw Ma Ye walking quickly in front of the heroic young man, and then bowed deeply.
"Sure enough, it's him!" Li Xiu also showed a clear expression when he heard Ma Ye's words, before Ma Ye was helping Princess Pingyang with Li Shimin, and now Princess Pingyang is seriously injured, so he guessed that he was likely to meet Li Shimin, and now it seems that this is the case.
"To Captain Li Xiu, meet His Royal Highness King Qin!" At the suggestion of Ma Ye, Li Xiu also had to step forward to salute Li Shimin, don't forget that he is still an official, as long as he is in the army, he has to obey Li Shimin's orders.
"He's that Li Xiu?" Li Shimin didn't pay attention to Li Xiu's words, but turned his head to Father Ma and asked, this obviously somewhat contemptuous attitude made Li Xiu quite unhappy in his heart.
"Your Highness, this person is Li Xiu, and the method of suturing the wound last time was also created by him, and now the princess is seriously injured, and the other doctors are helpless, so the last general wants to ask Li Xiu to give it a try!" Ma Ye also said very respectfully, as a military general, he also has great respect for Li Shimin, who has made great achievements.
"General Ma, it's not that I don't believe you, it's just that he's a little too young!" Li Shimin said softly at this time, this is also for Ma Sanbao's sake, if it were someone else, I am afraid he would have been blasted out a long time ago.
"King Qin is wise, he only invented wound suturing by coincidence, in fact, he doesn't know much about medical skills, so he won't make trouble for His Royal Highness King Qin!" Li Xiu was not sure to heal Princess Pingyang's injuries at all, and when he heard that Li Shimin didn't believe him, he hurriedly borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, it's not that I can't cure it, but you don't believe me, and I can't blame Princess Pingyang for anything in the future.
After Li Xiu finished speaking, he wanted to say goodbye and leave, but he was grabbed by Ma Ye, and then he saw this arrogant man suddenly "plop~" knelt down in front of Li Shimin and said loudly: "His Royal Highness King Qin, the princess is seriously injured, and it is really delayed, and the last general is willing to use the head of the item to guarantee that Li Xiu can cure the princess's injury!" ”
Hearing Ma Ye's words, Li Xiu next to him was about to cry, this simply drove him to a dead end, it is estimated that Li Shimin no longer believes in himself, I am afraid there is no way to refuse.
Sure enough, Li Shimin hurriedly helped Ma Ye up at this time, hesitated for a moment on his face, and finally nodded: "Okay, then let Captain Li give it a try!" ”
