Chapter 157: Life and Death Are Unpredictable
Chapter 157 Life and death are unpredictable
"Take the cloth off his mouth. Let him look up ......". Li Shimin couldn't see the appearance of the person who came, and immediately ordered in a deep voice. Since Guanyin wants to deal with the aftermath first, then let her wish.
The two guards complied, straightening the face of the young man with the disheveled hair, and then tearing off the rag from his mouth. As soon as he ripped it off, the young man coughed violently. After finally relieving himself, he brushed his hair with both hands and raised his head to face everyone in the field.
"Jiang ...... River...... Aiqing? ”。 Li Shimin was dumbfounded, and even stammered and shouted in disbelief:
"If I'm not mistaken, you should ride a horse proudly and praise the streets at this time, right? Why did the few characters appear in front of me as such a virtuous character? ”
Jiang Zhixuan had a hard time, he had repeatedly identified himself, but these fierce royal guards didn't care about his call at all. Before entering the palace, the guards, who had been tired of arguing, finally pulled a rag and gagged him tightly......
Opening his mouth, Jiang Zhixuan was about to explain. saw a guard next to him take a step forward and reported in a deep voice:
"Your Majesty, after a bloody battle, the last general and others finally escorted the mother to the carriage. Just as he was about to set off, he saw this guy riding a white horse, rushing towards Niangniang's car like crazy. The last general cut off the leg of this guy's horse, and this guy fell straight into the group of guards led by the last general. Keep saying that he is the new champion of the new department......"
Li Shimin already roughly understood what was going on in his heart, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but smile and asked:
"Since you said that he rammed into his mother's car, why didn't you kill him on the spot? And bring him to the palace to see me? ”
When the man who looked like the commander of the guards heard this, a look of guilt flashed on his face, and he knelt down and clasped his fists with both hands and said:
"The last general is guilty, please punish your majesty heavily, the situation was chaotic at that time. The shieldmen's defenses were flawed, giving the Assassins an opportunity. If it weren't for this...... The boy "> fell into the pile of guards when he happened to hit one of the guards holding a shield. Let the shield she was holding just enough to block the arrows fired by the Assassins, and the lady would "be killed in >......". As he spoke, he pointed to Xiaoxiao, and then continued:
And according to the judgment of the last general, the bow and arrow used by the assassin were at least six stone or more. At that time, this lady "> used her body to protect the king of Jin, and according to the power of the arrow, it will definitely shoot through the body of this lady" > and cause ...... to His Royal Highness the King of Jin Significant injury ......".
"Humph! In vain, you and other elites who claim to be the elite on weekdays, what kind of army is known as the first army in the world? You don't even pay attention to the Xuanjia Army, but at such a critical moment, there is such a mistake, what is the use of you waiting? Li Shimin didn't wait for him to finish, and then scolded angrily. He was really angry, at such a critical moment, he was protecting his most nervous Guanyin maid and little son, and even gave the assassin a chance to release arrows, he shuddered when he thought about it.
When the commander of the guard heard this, he was even more frightened, and he did not defend himself, but bowed his head heavily. The right hand pounded heavily on the breastplate:
"The last general is guilty, please punish Your Majesty!"
Li Shimin snorted again:
"I don't need you to say it, I will punish you too. Fortunately, you finally rescued the queen and my pheasant slave and son safely. If not, I'll cut off your head...... How many people were hurt? ”
Although there was a mistake, the bloodied deputy commander in front of him finally rescued Guanyin, the pheasant slave, and the son. After Li Shimin's stern reprimand and beating, the anger had subsided, and he naturally wanted to care about the situation of the guards, so he slowed down his tone and asked out loud.
When the commander listened to Li Shimin's inquiry, his eyes turned red, and he replied with a choked voice:
"Back to Your Majesty, it was too chaotic at that time, and the last general was in a hurry to escort Niangniang back to the palace, and he had time to make detailed statistics in the future. However, there were only nine people left in the first battalion of guards led by Qin. The second battalion of the last general, there are only eighteen people left......"
"What ????"
Li Shimin exclaimed in disbelief, two battalions of guards, that is a full hundred people. As the commander of the guard said, deal with six assassins. More than 70 elite royal guards were killed or wounded! How dare he believe it?
It seemed that this shock effect was not enough, and the commander of the guards continued to report:
"In addition, Lord Li Rusong, the young man of Jingzhao Mansion, personally led some of the guards and the soldiers of Jingzhao Mansion to participate in the rescue, and he was seriously injured! I'm afraid that the number of soldiers in Jingzhao Mansion will not be less than the casualties of the guards......"
Li Shimin was already completely stunned, and only six mountain assassins actually killed more than 100 of his elite soldiers and guards of the Tang Empire, and seriously injured a high-ranking fourth-rank official. This is simply a slap in the face of Li Shimin in front of everyone in the world......
Immediately waved his hand to let the guard lead and lead people down to heal first, as for the bereavement and reward, that would be later.
After the commander of the guards left with the guards, Li Shimin turned his head, with a gloomy face, and asked Jiang Zhixuan:
"Why did you suddenly turn back in the middle of the procession? And crashed into the mother's car? And even in such a dangerous situation, if I let my pheasant slave ...... Or your wife and children have three longs and two shorts, I'll see how you end! ”
Jiang Zhixuan had completely calmed down at this time, pondered it in his mind, hid his true thoughts at that time, and replied with righteousness and awe:
"Your Majesty, when the students passed by the Zuiyue Tower, they saw Niangniang and His Royal Highness King Jin, as well as Neiko and others in the guest room of the Zuiyue Tower. At that time, I didn't feel anything other than a deep honor. But not long after passing through the Zuiyue Tower, the student suddenly felt uneasy. couldn't help but look back, but saw Jiayue with more than a hundred guards going straight to the Zuiyue Tower. The student was worried about the comfort of Niangniang, His Royal Highness, and Neiko, so he ignored the etiquette system and returned to Zuiyue Tower, wanting to find out......
As a result, when the students rushed back to the Zuiyue Tower. I happened to see the mother getting into the carriage under the escort of the guards. However, there was a gap in the guards' guards, and the students looked around for some reason, just in time to see the Assassin's bow and arrow aimed at the carriage below. At this time, the students saw His Royal Highness King Jin and Neiko from the gap exposed by the guards. At that time, the students were almost heartbroken, their minds were blank, and they only thought about rushing over to fend off arrows for His Royal Highness King Jin and Neiko. And it turned out ......"
Needless to say, Li Shimin already knew that as a result, his horse's leg was cut off and he fell into the guards' pile. By mistake, he saved the lives of the pheasant slave and his wife, but was arrested as fellow assassins by the nervous guards. After figuring out that he was not an assassin and knowing that his unintentional actions saved two lives. The guards twisted him to themselves and took the trouble to themselves......
Li Shimin couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly:
It's really troublesome! violated the etiquette system, slipped in the middle of the parade, and drove the queen's car behind. These two things, the former is enough to make him lose the fame he has won so hard, and the latter is a felony that can kill his head. However, with this move, he accidentally saved the life of his pheasant slave at a critical moment! How should this account be calculated? Li Shimin is also a little uncertain......
But soon, the news brought by one of the guards made him make a decision:
"Your Majesty, the six mountain assassins of the Drunken Moon Tower. All of them! ”
Li Shimin was not surprised by this result. Even the royal guards and the Royal Guards were dispatched, if they couldn't take down just six mountain assassins. Then he's too boring as an emperor, he cares about casualties:
"What are the final casualties?"
"Back to Your Majesty, seventy-one royal guards were killed and two seriously wounded; Sixty-six soldiers of Jingzhao Prefecture were killed and 16 were seriously wounded. In addition......". Speaking of this, the guard suddenly stopped, causing Li Shimin to frown:
"What does mother-in-law do? Say! ”
In addition, Li Rusong, the young Yin of Jingzhao Mansion, went into battle in person. Seriously injured! The doctor said that it is likely that he will not survive today......"
Xiaoxiao listened to it for a while, and then felt that the world was spinning, and he exclaimed sadly: "Daddy, ......", and fell down softly, and Jiang Zhixuan on the side was also stunned at this time. He never imagined that he accidentally rescued his wife and His Royal Highness the King of Jin, but his father-in-law was seriously injured and his life hung by a thread......
The beard was standing next to Xiaoxiao, but at this time she was holding the tiger's head in her hand, and she couldn't support Xiaoxiao. Fortunately, the eldest grandson queen was quick with her eyes, and when she saw that she had a little mental breakdown, she immediately reached out to support her. I called out twice eagerly, but I didn't see any response from her, and I became anxious. Seeing this, Li Shimin hurriedly shouted:
"Pass on the Imperial Doctor!"
……
Zhenguan's eleventh year of Xinke Jinshi's official street parade had to be hastily ended because of Jiang Zhixuan's sudden departure and the subsequent commotion in Zuiyue Tower. As for the later climbing of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda and the tour of Qujiang Pond, the Ministry of Rites announced that it would be rescheduled at a later date.
After the procession dispersed, Li Qin also hurriedly pulled Feng Gongmin straight to Zuiyue Tower. Jiang Zhixuan is his brother-in-law and a classmate, so he naturally cares about it very much. Feng Gongmin is even more so, if it weren't for Jiang Zhixuan's righteous help, he wouldn't know where to ask for food at this time! How is it possible to wear this Jinshi and the first uniform, and parade the streets with boundless glory?
By the time Li Qin and the others arrived at the Zuiyue Tower, the Zuiyue Tower had already been surrounded by soldiers from the Jingzhao Mansion and the Imperial Forest Army, and no idle people were allowed to enter or leave. Some servants and doctors hurriedly busied inside, treating the wounded and restraining the dead. The corpses of the six Mountain Assassins were placed aside, with a jet-black longbow next to the tallest of them. The man's chest was a blur of flesh and blood, which was left by nearly a hundred sharp arrows through his chest......
Li Qin tried his best to go in to see the excitement, but he never entered. finally found a familiar leader of the Jingzhao Mansion soldiers, hoping that he would be accommodating. Unexpectedly, as soon as the leader of the Nafu soldiers saw him, his eyes turned red all of a sudden:
"Childe" >, it's better not to go in yet. My lord, he ......"
Li Qin's face changed suddenly: "Daddy, what's wrong with him?" ”
There was a cry in the voice of the leader of the Nafu soldiers: "The adults are seriously injured. Lives are in danger! The doctor is doing his best to save the day! Don't go in and make a mess now! ”
"Get out of here!". Where can Li Qin listen? Unable to control his emotions, the true colors of the little overlord were suddenly revealed, and he pushed away the leader of the government soldiers, ignoring the sound of the blades coming out of the sheath behind him, and rushed straight towards the drunken moon building in despair.
Just as he rushed to the gate, he heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him. As soon as he turned his head blankly, he heard a male duck's voice that dragged on a lot:
"Your Majesty has arrived at !!"
Li Shimin took the best three imperial doctors of the Tai Hospital, and under the protection of more than a dozen guards, he galloped on a healthy horse. The three imperial doctors rarely seemed to ride horses, and their faces turned pale from the jolts. Fortunately, their medicine boxes were all carried on the guards, otherwise they might have been turned upside down.
Li Shimin ignored everyone who knelt on the ground to greet him, and rushed into the gap left by the Imperial Forest Army, until he stopped at the door of the Zuiyue Tower, jumped off his horse, and commanded in a deep voice:
"Rescue with the fastest speed, Li Aiqingsheng, you and other officials will be promoted to one level and rewarded for one year; Li Aiqing is dead, so let's go home and farm! ”
The three imperial doctors glanced at each other, didn't speak, and arched their hands towards Li Shimin. took the medicine box from the guard's hand and hurriedly ran into the Drunken Moon Tower.
……
In the Taiye Pool of Daming Palace, Xiaoxiao, who had come to his senses, sat in a pavilion in the royal garden in despair. The beard sat quietly with the tiger's head in his arms. The tiger head was a little dazed, staring at a pair of big black eyes, looking at the mother who was full of sadness and rolled out two crystal tears from time to time. A pair of small hands kept stretching out, wanting to touch the mother's face, but they couldn't get close to being held by the mustache, and they screamed anxiously.
Empress Eldest Sun, Li Zhi, and the little son all sat around the table. At this time, the little son snuggled obediently in front of the little knee, and kept saying:
"Little aunt, you can say something! Auntie, you can say something! ”
Li Zhi, a stuffy gourd who usually rarely speaks, also opened his mouth at this time, with a little guilt: "Mrs. Jiang" >, Lord Li was injured to save the pheasant slave and the queen mother, and the father had already taken the best imperial doctor to Zuiyue Tower. This king believes that Ji people have their own natural appearance, and Lord Li will be fine! Don't worry about your body......"
Empress Eldest Sun nodded with satisfaction on the side, and the pheasant slave's words were young and old, and they were also very reasonable. The current interface says:
"The pheasant slave is right, so don't worry too much about my sister. Beware of the baby in your belly......"
Xiaoxiao still didn't say a word, and there were too many sad negative emotions in her heart. Although Li Rusong is only her stepfather, since he came to this world and knew them. This father-in-law and stepmother have always taken sincere care and care for themselves and the Jiang family. It can be said that if it weren't for the care of his father-in-law and mother-in-law, the Jiang family farm would definitely not have been so smooth sailing if it wanted to develop, and it would not have been so smooth sailing for Fu Jun Zhixuan in the imperial examination......
Now, seeing that her husband is the top student in high school, the Jiang family's farm is also booming, and she can feed her father and mother. But in order to save the queen mother and himself, his father was seriously injured and his life was in danger.
"The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop, the child wants to raise but the parent is not there......"
The more I thought about it, the more sad my heart became. Finally, I couldn't hold back anymore and cried out. The eldest grandson queen on the side saw her crying, but she breathed a long sigh of relief:
"It's good to cry, when you're done crying, quickly clean up and get ready to go back to take care of your father and mother!"
This sentence is more effective than anything else, and it makes Xiaoxiao sober up all of a sudden: yes, if my mother learns the news, she may be sad. And Brother Qin, if he does something out of the ordinary under impulse, how can he be good? Thinking like this, quickly force yourself to calm down. Wipe away your tears, stand up and say goodbye!
Empress Changsun did not stay, and personally got up and took the pheasant slave and the little son, sent her all the way to the palace gate, and watched her board the carriage of the Li Mansion, and then slowly turned around and returned to the palace. In the eyes of Empress Eldest Sun, there is no inappropriate treatment for Xiaoxiao in the slightest. The little couple has saved themselves and their children three times and twice. And she herself and Xiaoxiao get along very happily and complement each other......
……
In the Li Mansion, Mrs. Li's "> has already received the news that Li Rusong led his troops to conquer the mountain assassins in Zuiyue Tower. At this time, she was burning incense and praying in the Buddhist hall, and the news behind her, under the blockade of people with hearts, she didn't know it for the time being! Just when she was getting more and more worried, the servants hurried to the Buddha hall and told her that the young lady "> is back."
At this time, she was the only one in the entire Li Mansion. Xiaoxiao entered the palace to accompany the queen, her son and son-in-law went to the celebration, and her husband maintained law and order. After learning the news, she was a bit of a godless. Hearing that his daughter was coming back, he hurriedly ran out, and as soon as he took his daughter's hand, he began to ask long and short questions:
"Xiaoxiao, I heard that there are mountain assassins living in the Zuiyue Building, and your father has led troops to arrest them, have you heard any news when you come back all the way? Is your dad okay? Have you ever caught an assassin? ”
This series of questions, coupled with the anxious and concerned eyes on her mother's face, made Xiaoxiao unable to open her mouth no matter what, telling her the news that her father was seriously injured. Turn your head away and force yourself to squeeze out some smiles:
"Rest assured, when my daughter returned, she heard that all the assassins had been ambushed, although she had never heard of her father. However, at this time, my father should have entered the palace to report the situation to His Majesty. However, this matter is very important, maybe my father was delayed in the palace, and it was too late to send someone home to report his safety......"
Mrs. Li> hearing her say this, her hanging heart relaxed for a while, and she hurriedly beckoned Xiaoxiao to the hall to speak......
Outside the Drunken Moon Building, Li Qin walked back and forth restlessly, shaking Li Shimin, who had just persuaded him for two sentences, was dizzy, and couldn't help but scold:
"Calm down, you're the head of the new branch. With such a frizz, how dare I let you shepherd a side of the people? What good is it for your father that you go about like this? Trouble only increases......"
Li Qin had no choice but to stop when he heard this, but his hands kept rubbing uneasily.
Not long after, the door of the Drunken Moon Tower opened, and an imperial doctor slowly walked out of it. Li Shimin was about to ask, but saw Li Qin like an arrow from a string, ran over quickly, held the shoulder of the imperial doctor, shook violently and asked loudly:
"Doctor, my father is ...... How's it going? ”
