Chapter 60: Incense Brothers
Li Shimin ran all the way until a cliff appeared in front of him, and he stopped.
At this time, there was only Qin Qiong by his side.
Ashina Dubi chased after him with someone and surrounded the two of them, "Li Shimin, I advise you to surrender, you can't escape." ”
"Not necessarily." Li Shimin raised his lips and smiled, without the slightest embarrassment and fear of the turtle in the urn.
He stood side by side with Qin Qiong, holding the hilt of the sword tightly in his hand, and after assessing the current situation, Li Shimin whispered to Qin Qiong: "The two-month period has arrived, if you can live today, you can leave Taiyuan, I will not stop you." ”
Qin Qiong's eyes stared at the front, and said in a deep voice: "If I can leave here alive today, I won't leave." ”
Li Shimin paused for a moment, and then his eyes lit up: "With your words, we will definitely be able to leave here alive today." ”
As soon as the words fell, the two flew out like arrows from the string, and a melee was about to break out.
Li Shimin is the son of Guan Longxun, usually good at bows and arrows, likes to play, and is still mighty, and does not like to read, but he can play the bow and arrow, riding and archery skills very exquisitely, and his martial arts should not be underestimated.
Taking advantage of the gap, he removed the bow from his back and quickly shot an arrow.
Arrows to the ground, one arrow at a time, the precision of the archery shocked the Turks.
Ashina Dubi glanced at his subordinates, then also took off his bow, bent his bow and shot at Li Shimin.
Seeing this, Li Shimin immediately shot an arrow.
The two arrows met in the air and both fell.
Li Shimin wanted to take arrows and shoot again, but was attacked by the Turkic soldiers who surrounded him, and had to put down his bow and arrows and fight in close combat.
After a moment, he looked in the direction of Ashina Dubi, only to find that Ashina Dubi was gone.
He quickly glanced around and found that Ashina Dubi had quietly come to Qin Qiong's back under the cover of the Turkic soldiers, and was about to make a black move.
"Uncle Bao, be careful."
Li Shimin let out a loud shout and threw the bow out hard.
Qin Qiong looked back and saw Li Shimin's bow hit Ashina Dubi's head, Ashina Dubi exhaled in pain, his body was unstable, and he fell backwards.
Seeing this, one of his subordinates hurriedly ran to help Ashina Dubi, but he was so anxious that he stepped on a stone under his feet, and immediately fell forward.
Ashina Dubi staggered for a while, and as soon as he stabilized his body, his subordinates collided, and the impact was too great, and Ashina Dubi was knocked out of the air.
Behind him is the cliff.
"Ahh
Ashina Dubi felt his body cut through the air in a parabola, and then fell off the cliff. In desperation, he reached out to grab the grass on the cliff.
But the grass was hard, and when he grasped it, the roots and the soil were pulled out and fell down with him.
Is he going to die here today?
No, he didn't want to die.
It seemed that God heard the cry in his heart, and suddenly a hand appeared and firmly grasped his wrist.
He looked up, but saw Li Shimin's face.
Ashina Dubi's face was full of consternation, how could the person who saved him be Li Shimin? Aren't they enemies?
Will Li Shimin just play him and let go in the end?
Countless expressions of Li Shimin laughing at him flashed in his mind, and the more he thought about it, the more desperate he became, and the fear of dying in the depths of his heart became stronger and stronger.
Ashina Dubi's subordinates were stunned, what was the situation?
Aren't they at war?
Why is the enemy saving his master?
They were in such a state of utter shock that they completely forgot that their master was still waiting for their rescue.
Qin Qiong was also shocked, but he only reacted after being shocked for a moment, and hurriedly went to help Li Shimin.
With Qin Qiong's help, Li Shimin quickly pulled Ashina Dubi up.
Then there was an eerie silence.
Ashina Dubi: "......"
Li Shimin: "......"
The two looked at each other, but they were extremely embarrassed.
Especially Li Shimin, what he did just now was almost subconsciously, and it wasn't until he grabbed Ashina's hand that he clearly realized what he had done.
However, he is an open-minded person, and since he has done it, he has done it to the best of his ability.
In the end, it was Ashina Dubi who spoke first, after all, he was the one who was saved, and he should say thank you, "Thank you for saving me." ”
Li Shimin tugged at the corners of his mouth: "You're welcome." ”
At this point, there is no need to fight this battle again.
Ashina Dubi is a person who has a favor and must repay it, he looked at the withered grass that was still in his hand, and said to Li Shimin: "I, Ashina Dubi, have clear grievances and grievances, you saved me, and you are my life-saving benefactor."
"This battle is no longer fought."
With that, he squatted down, dug a small pit in the cliff, and transplanted the dead grass into it.
After doing all this, he looked back at Li Shimin with a resolute gaze: "Li Shimin, if you want, we will become incense brothers." ”
In a flash, Li Shimin's mind had already turned several corners, but in an instant, he had already agreed: "Okay." ”
After Li Shimin finished speaking, he plunged the blood-dripping sword into the ground and knelt down in front of the dry grass.
Ashina Dubi also knelt down in front of the dry grass, and Lang Lang read: "Today, the grass is used instead of incense, and I, Ashina Dubi, am willing to become incense brothers with Li Shimin, and from now on, we will help each other." ”
Li Shimin continued: "I, Li Shimin, am willing to marry Ashina Dubi as an incense brother, and from now on, I will help each other." ”
The two kowtowed to the dead grass, and when they got up, they looked at each other and smiled.
"We don't know each other anymore." Ashina Dubi patted Li Shimin's shoulder and laughed.
Li Shimin smiled back: "Yes." ”
"Let's go, go back."
......
Li Yuan on the other side was trapped.
After Cheng Zhijie and others went to carry out Li Yuan's order to pursue the Xiaoguo army, Li Yuan was outnumbered and surrounded by Ashina Gulifshe's men.
"Wait."
When the Turkic soldiers approached, Li Yuan hurriedly shouted to stop.
He glanced around, Zhao Cai didn't know where to go, Cheng Zhijie and other fierce generals were not around, and Erlang didn't know what the situation was, and the uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger.
Now there are only three people around him, and there is only one way to die if he fights hard with each other.
Li Yuan thought for a while and decided to sue for peace: "You guys are just going south to loot some supplies for the winter, I can satisfy you, as long as you withdraw from the army." ”
Ashina Gulfershe's eyebrows raised when he heard this, he lost a lot of people in this battle, but he didn't grab much things, if he could get it without a fight, it would be the best.
When he returned with supplies, the khan would definitely praise him.
Ashina Gulfersh curled the corners of his mouth and said briskly, "Okay." ”
So, the two sat down to discuss.
After some bargaining, when the conversation was almost over, Li Shimin and Ashina Dubi came over.
After learning the result, Li Shimin didn't say anything, but quietly instructed Qin Qiong: "What happened on the cliff, please keep Shubao tight-lipped." ”
Qin Qiong thought for a moment and agreed.
As night fell, the Turkic army withdrew from the border, and Li Yuan led the army back to Mayi.
As soon as he arrived in Mayi, Li Yuan questioned Zhao Cai: "General Zhao sent someone to assassinate me on the battlefield, is it secretly colluding with the Turks to subvert the Sui Dynasty?" ”
