He did get bored.

It was an endless struggle within the imperial court and a partisan struggle between the old and new courtiers.

The higher the official position and the greater his prestige, the more he can feel the suffocating oppression and gore that fills the air.

His brilliant talent and innate skills allowed him to move among the spirits of his father's generation, but he didn't really enjoy the process.

The rebels are still in turmoil, more than half of the world is in the middle of the war, and the Son of Heaven is hunting in the west -- who doesn't know that this is actually a westward escape?

But even so, there is still an endless fight for the benefits the size of sesame mung beans!

He sometimes wondered if he hadn't married Wu Cuicui and had not been bought by her for a penalty, what would his fate have been like after that?

Li Qiao could not deny the help that the Wu family had brought to him, but at the same time, he would also rationally think about another question.

If he hadn't married Wu Cuicui, if it hadn't been for the springboard of the Wu family that made him rise too quickly, perhaps the trouble he would have faced would not have been so tricky at this moment.

When the Wu family helped him to a high place, he may have encountered some problems that he was unable to solve at the moment, and the wonderful thing about fate was that perhaps this reversal of the order indirectly changed his original destiny......

It's just that there is no turning back when the bow is opened.

……

Li Shimin bid farewell to the dozens of brothers, disguised himself, and entered Gyeongju City in a grand manner with a piece of the waist card of the centurion of the Wei king's army.

Having just experienced a war, the city gate was full of ruins, and the streets were occasionally filled with people in tattered clothes hurrying by, and groups of homeless people taking advantage of the chaos to loot the shops......

Li Shimin frowned slightly, beat his horse and circled around the city of Gyeongju a few times, but without finding any clues, he went back to the city gate, picked up a piece of armor from the dead body that could still be seen by the Wei Wangjun, put it on, and easily touched the Wei Wangjun.

King Wei's army was already loose, and the reason why he was able to win this battle was because Li Shimin had helped him gnaw the hard bones before, and Gyeongju was purely a good battle.

Most of the people in the barracks were lone walkers, and when Li Shimin suddenly appeared, no one thought it was strange.

Not to mention that this thief who slipped in was so bold that not only did he not hide from people, but he also dared to take the initiative to stick into the crowd, and after he was pierced, he was almost like a man: "Brother, which general are you under the command of?" ”

And don't look at the other party's pockets with deep meaning: "After this battle, you can have a fat year!" ”

The other party laughed, but really started talking to him, and it didn't take long for him to be called brother eldest brother and brother shorter.

Li Shimin got the words he wanted to know from his mouth.

On that day, the imperial capital fell, Xiahou Ling led the army to plunder, in addition to the gold and silver treasures, many female dependents fell into his hands, and the most outstanding ones were left by the Xiahou family, and the rest were used to reward the soldiers.

When the city of Gyeongju was broken, these women fell into the hands of the King of Wei, and they were all imprisoned in a side tent to be disposed of.

After hearing this, Li Shimin's eyes couldn't help but glance at the remote tent, and the soldier saw what he was thinking, and laughed and said: "Brother, don't look at it, we don't have our share!" ”

He lowered his voice and said, "Don't you think about it, the daughters of the ordinary people want to feed pigs and dogs, and wash clothes, how many colors can there be?" Most of the people who can be left behind are the daughters of those big officials, and they can't afford to live with the relatives of the prince! ”

"If you're lucky, you might be able to find your own family, but you don't know if your family is willing to accept them!"

Li Shimin smiled and said a few vague words to him, then looked for a reason to say goodbye, and his eyes turned around, and suddenly he saw a certain burly young soldier, and he couldn't help but praise in his heart: "Good man!" ”。

Distraction was just a moment, he wanted to go to the vicinity of the tent to find out, but no matter how loose the Wei Wang's army was, this big tent was not paper-paste, loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and the circle outside could allow him to easily sneak in, and then it would not be possible to go inside.

Li Shimin was not frightened when he encountered difficulties, and his eyes looked around at the camping place, and when his gaze stayed on a certain place, his eyes suddenly brightened slightly.

He went to the stable and looked for the horse he had ridden, and stole a pot of arrows from the house, and followed the path to the high spot that he had just liked.

When I looked back halfway, I saw a few close servants who had seen King Wei before, and they brought a few maids to this side.

As soon as the attendants gave the order, some of them dispersed the nearby soldiers and opened a road to the remote place to the east, but the maids went to the side tents.

Li Shimin's heart jumped slightly, and then he realized what was about to happen, and his eyes quickly turned around, bypassing the current hillside and turning to the eastern front one step ahead.

After a while, he heard movement ahead, and several maids he had seen before led the way to a group of haggard-looking young women to a clearing not far away, and the leader had a goose-egg face, but his cheeks were not as abundant as he remembered, and even the dimple on his right cheek seemed to become conspicuous.

Among the group of anxious and uneasy girls, she was the only one who stood at the forefront with a calm look, a frank gaze, and no fear.

A few maids led them over, and then quietly retreated, and after waiting for a moment, the gloomy figure of the King of Wei appeared in front of everyone.

Although it is a big victory, although it is a reunion after a long absence, but this reunion is as good as nothing for King Wei!

He came to the many girls with a grim expression, and his gaze swept over them one by one, and finally he could not hide his sneer at the girl who stood at the front, his face was full of carelessness.

"Yes, that's great, I never thought I'd see you here!"

Among these girls, King Wei didn't know much, but he still tried his best to point out the people he had seen and could match their faces with their identities: "The daughter of Liu Yingwen, the servant of the ministry, the daughter of the late Duke of Yu, the niece of Jiang Cheng, the right servant of Shangshu, and you—"

He pointed his fingertips at the person standing at the front, and said hatefully: "This king's good niece, Xiao Mingze!" ”

"Without exception, you are all noble and high-ranking officials, and there are even people who have the blood of the imperial family, such a noble background, and are treated in every way by the family, but in the end you have no sense of shame, do you not think about the reputation of your family, and stoop down to serve thieves - after reading so many books of sages, don't you even know how to write the word shame?!"

When the girls heard this, they couldn't help but redden, or lowered their heads, or turned their faces away to wipe away their tears, only Xiao Mingze looked at King Wei calmly, his face was as usual.

"What is there to be ashamed of when ants are still stealing their lives, and people bow their heads in order to survive?"

King Wei was furious: "Shut up! Even now, he can still say such shameless words! ”

Xiao Mingze then asked him rhetorically: "Where is the sin in stooping to serve the thief?" ”

King Wei said angrily: "You still have the face to ask me, where is the sin? You have simply lost the face of the Xiao family and your mother! ”

A hint of mockery appeared on Xiao Mingze's face, and he asked rhetorically: "In this case, the country with a million troops is still unable to resist the traitors, so that the Son of Heaven fled westward in a hurry, discarded his ancestral industry, and neglected the ancestral tomb in vain. ”

"Uncle, as a descendant of the Li family, you did not shed the last drop of blood for the Li family, but fled in a hurry with your belongings, and where did you leave the ancestors and the Li family behind?"

"Now that the country has become like this, the society is in turmoil, and the people are suffering, the Son of Heaven and the Manchu ministers do not reflect on themselves, but they want to use this to reproach our group of weak women?"

"In that case, please punish the Son of Heaven first!"

Chapter 122

King Wei didn't expect her to say such a thing, and he didn't want her to be so bold as to dare to openly criticize the Son of Heaven!

And the few interrogations before "please punish the Son of Heaven" made him stammered on the spot, and he was speechless for a while.

When he came back to his senses, the King of Wei was embarrassed and angry: "I originally wanted to save your life because you called me uncle, but now you are full of nonsense, but you can't leave you to come!" ”

King Wei said sharply: "Pull this crazy woman down and kill her!" ”

Xiao Mingze didn't panic when he heard this, and the ridicule on his face became more and more intense: "Where does my uncle want to save my life, it is obvious that he wants the world, but he also does not want to completely tear his face with the Son of Heaven, so he wants to leave us as a group of people, cover up our past past as Xiahou's wife and concubine, so as to marry our family and leave a way back for himself, right?" ”

Once again, the king of Wei was speechless.

Obviously, he was in a high position, and he could easily lead to the rest of his death, and he was the one who had the advantage, but the king of Wei did not dare to speak to him, and only urged his attendants in a loud voice: "Don't hurry up and take her down!" ”

Xiao Mingze raised his voice and laughed, fearless, and let the two soldiers come close to grab her arm and push her forward.

And the shock is happening in an instant.

At that time, the king of Wei was still angry, his face was gloomy, and he was about to order his attendants to escort the rest down, but he heard a sharp sound of breaking the sky not far away, followed by the muffled sound of arrows entering flesh and bones.

Although the King of Wei had never actually been on the battlefield, he had always seen the pig run, and he immediately reacted and shouted: "There are assassins!" ”

The attendants around him reacted quickly, and immediately protected the king of Wei to take refuge on the inner side of the hillside, and at the same time blew the porcelain whistle of the enemy's attack—

The group of girls gathered here were frightened, and could not help but let out a burst of exclamation, and also scattered and fled, but the attendants did not care about them at this time, but only gathered in a circle, sheltering near the King of Wei.

However, the assassin did not come at them, and fired an arrow to kill the man who had held Xiao Mingze to death, and then drew his bow full of strings, holding several arrows, and at the same time urging the horse forward, he fired arrows to suppress the crowd and not get close.

This place is adjacent to the barracks, and the attendants did not ride horses at all when they went out, let alone carry crossbows, and for a while, it was really difficult to cope.

The sound of porcelain whistles sounded all around, and the nearby soldiers moved when they heard the sound, and in the chaotic and heavy footsteps, Li Shimin's eyes were quick, and he suddenly stretched out his arms to lift Xiao Mingze, who was stunned in place, to lift his horse, and left without looking back.

King Wei originally thought that this assassin was coming for him, but at that moment, he thought a lot, a lot in his mind, such as what if he died, what should he do if he left such a big inheritance, and for example, who sent this assassin?

It can't be his good nephew in the west!

If you dare to be the first year of junior high school, I will dare to be fifteen, and immediately disguise yourself as if you were seriously injured by an assassination, and sell yourself miserably in front of the world, saying that you, a little turtle grandson, are not authentic in doing things.

Na Cheng thought that the assassin didn't glance at him from beginning to end, and after suppressing the crowd, he kidnapped people and left, he thought so much before, it was purely to show the blind man!

King Wei's posture changed from cautiously curled up to stretched, and then roared in annoyance: "This kind of thing happened in the military camp, why don't you catch that thief?!" ”

He also drew inferences from one case to another: "Immediately order all departments to count the number of people, and the centurion and ten-division commander to check whether the soldiers under their command have any fresh faces, and if so, they must be meticulous and take them down immediately!" ”

Left and right to lead the order and obey.

Li Shimin's situation at this time is really not good, and there is no other reason - this place is too close to the military camp of the King of Wei!

As soon as the porcelain whistle was blown, some people gathered in this direction and chased after him, and although the horse under him was good, it was a mortal after all, and he carried two people......

But well, it's worth it!

I rescued people!

He thought happily: Li Erfeng, you are awesome!

Xiao Mingze was ready to die, but she didn't want the change to come so suddenly, she didn't even react, the person had already come to the horse, and she didn't even see the face of the person who mentioned herself, and her body left the place a few meters in an instant.

It was clearly a grown man, and she sat in front of him, half leaning against his chest, and could feel that it was a burly man......

She didn't want to cry.

When the imperial capital fell and was captured by the Xiahou clan before, she didn't cry.

The daughter of the princess and the famous family were forced to serve as concubines and stoop to be thieves, but she did not cry.

When she saw King Wei's uncle, she didn't cry when she was reprimanded by him in person.

Just now, even when she was about to be killed, she didn't cry.

But now, when she was sitting on a horse with her back against a strange man and galloping for her life, her eyes suddenly turned red.

This is the only bit of warmth and protection she has received since the fall of the imperial capital.

"Who are you," Xiao Mingze choked up and asked, "Why did you come to save me?" ”

Li Shimin's hand holding the reins briefly loosened, shook the back of her cold hand, and said helplessly: "Don't cry." ”

After a pause, he said gently, "How could I ignore you." ”

Xiao Mingze's long-held tears finally fell at this moment.

She whimpered and cried.

How can you not be wronged.

She is a person, she has feelings, and her heart is also made of flesh!

But, but!
