Sui and Tang Dynasties: Beginning with Overlord Inheritance

Just when the members of the Li family were searching for Li Shimin along various waters and jungles.

At this time, Li Shimin, dragging his seriously injured body, chose to return to Taiyuan by taking the mountain road.

Staying away from the official road in this way can avoid being chased by the Sui army.

It can be seen how vigilant Li Shimin is at this time.

This also means that he is destined to pass by the search army of the Li family.

"call"

After walking for a long time, Li Shimin's physical strength was completely overdrawn.

He couldn't hold it any longer, and fell directly to the ground, panting heavily.

Li Shimin's consciousness is slowly passing away.

"I'm dying?"

he murmured.

You must know that Li Shimin jumped into the river from Longmen at the beginning.

After being impacted by the Yangtze River, I came to the river, and finally exhausted all my strength before I was able to go ashore.

After a day's rest, I supported myself with a wooden stick and chose to advance along the mountain road.

Otherwise, he might return to Taiyuan before Li Jiancheng.

Moreover, Li Shimin's injuries were heavier than Li Jiancheng's, and it was not easy to persist until now.

"I'm not reconciled!"

Li Shimin clenched his fists.

He was the proud son of heaven, he didn't do anything, why did he just die like this?
And it has not been proved to his grandson Wugou that these will turn into his endless resentment.

"Hey, what's there, it seems to be a person?"

Just when Li Shimin was about to lose all consciousness, a voice came.

Immediately afterwards, he vaguely saw two figures approaching.

Before Li Shimin could say anything, he passed out.

When he woke up again, he had already arrived in a dilapidated thatched hut.

Li Shimin lay on the hard bed, staring blankly at the dead man.

"hiss"

He moved his body and wanted to stand up, but the wound was involved, and he gasped in pain.

But this also made Li Shimin fully awake.

"where am I?"

He looked around blankly.

"rustle."

At this moment, there were two footsteps.

Immediately afterwards, a man was seen walking in.

Judging from the man's attire, he is an honest farmer with a simple and honest smile on his face.

Beside him was a peasant woman, with dark skin and a strong body.

"Little brother, are you awake?"

The farmer came up and asked.

"who are you?"

Li Shimin asked warily.

Then the farmer introduced himself and said his name was Old Man Li.

It was a woodcutter in this area. He saw Li Shimin who was unconscious and seriously injured while chopping firewood.

"It turns out that they were the ones I saw before I lost consciousness."

Only then did Li Shimin understand.

"Thank you for this big brother."

Li Shimin cupped his hands.

"You're welcome, little brother, how did you make it look like this?"

The old man Li asked curiously.

Li Shimin hesitated, and made up an excuse at will.

He said that he met a bandit on the way to Taiyuan, which made him look like this.

Old man Li sighed and comforted, and finally helped Li Shimin apply some herbal medicine.

Later, Li Shimin was provided with delicious food and drink, which restored Li Shimin's vitality.

Li Shimin also saved his life, and he was still thinking about rewarding old man Li well after returning to Taiyuan.

However, there is only a thin line between this kind of thinking and evil thoughts.

"It feels like there are a lot of troops under the mountain?"

The old man Li put down the basket and said.

"Yeah, it's frightening."

The peasant woman replied.

Hearing this, Li Shimin's heart tightened.

The old man Li saw Li Shimin's reaction in his eyes, and he also had a guess in his heart.

But he recalled that he got along well with Li Shimin during this time, and the other party didn't have any airs or bad intentions, so he didn't take this matter to heart.

But Li Shimin didn't think so. He was a smart man and knew that old man Li had already guessed something.

"No, I cannot fall into the hands of the Sui army."

Li Shimin thought to himself.

He guessed that such a search in the court would definitely require arrest warrants and rewards.

This old man Li is a woodcutter and lives a hard life.

Who can make it clear that they won't use themselves to receive the reward?

The more he thought about it, the more Li Shimin thought about it.

"Let's get something delicious tonight."

Old man Li told his mother-in-law.

"okay."

Mrs. Li responded.

In fact, at this time, the atmosphere between Li Shimin and this family has become strange.

When it was dark and having dinner, Li Shimin quietly put away a sickle in his hand.

During the meal, Li Shimin and Old Man Li were talking and laughing.

After eating, everyone went to rest.

Li Shimin didn't fall asleep, but got up slowly after hearing a snoring sound.

Holding the sickle, he walked up to Old Man Li and his wife.

"Don't blame me for being ruthless, it was you who were unrighteous first."

Li Shimin said coldly.

After saying that, he suddenly raised his sickle and slashed at Old Man Li and his wife fiercely.

"what!"

With a scream, old man Li died on the spot.

Mrs. Li was awakened, and looked at Li Shimin in horror.

When Li Shimin wanted to attack, Li Shi also came back to his senses and fled out scrambling.

"Our family treats you so well, why are you so cruel?"

Can't run anymore, Li asked in grief.

"it is good?"

Li Shimin sneered.

"So good that you want to use me for bounty money?"

he asked again.

"What did you say?"

Li was at a loss.

In the next second, Li Shimin's sickle struck up.

With an expression of extreme resentment, Li directly poured into the pool of blood.

After doing all this, Li Shimin finally slumped on the ground.

At this moment, flames lit up all around, and many people raised torches and approached.

Li Shimin suddenly became vigilant and looked around anxiously.

When the flame approached, a group of armored soldiers jumped out and surrounded Li Shimin.

"It's over!"

Li Shimin let out a mournful cry, thinking that the Sui army had killed him, and the old man Li and his wife really did so.

"Second son?"

It wasn't until a call came that Li Shimin withdrew his thoughts.

He looked in the direction of the voice and saw a familiar face.

Isn't this face exactly Duan Zhixuan?
It turned out that he just searched here and heard that there were woodcutters on the mountain, so he came here to look for it.

Unexpectedly, Li Shimin was found.

"Duan Zhixuan?"

Li Shimin was in doubt.

"It's me, that's great, Second Young Master, you are indeed alive!"

Duan Zhixuan said excitedly.

In addition to being happy, he looked at the corpse on the ground in doubt. It was just a peasant woman.

Li Shimin also realized that he had misunderstood the old man Li and his wife.

They didn't betray themselves at all, and the troops under the mountain were all from the Li family.

"I"

Regret came like a tide.

For the first time, Li Shimin blamed himself so much.

"No, it's not my fault!"

Soon, he comforted himself again.

"It's better for me to betray the world than for the world to defeat me. I want to be like Cao Cao!"

Li Shimin muttered.
