   Chapter 365 Seriously Injured (3)

   Hearing the name taboo of Crown Prince Li Jing, the eldest prince's expression suddenly stiffened.

  The two brothers have fought openly and secretly since childhood, and there is still a little bit of brotherhood left, and they know each other well.

Before the    army set off, Li Jing once came to him and told him to take good care of the soldiers and not fall into the trap of ambush because of meritorious deeds.

   What was his reaction?

Pi Xiaorou twitched the corners of his mouth without smiling, and a contemptuous smile flashed in his eyes: "I have gone on several expeditions with my father, and I have personally led soldiers to fight, so I am quite proficient in warfare. already."

  Li Jing's expression was rather complicated at the time. For some reason, he endured his anger and warned again: "There is a general named Yuerong in the Chu army. He is cunning and resourceful. If you encounter him, you must be extra careful."

   He chuckled and replied casually.

   After that, the army was divided into two groups, and he and Li Jing also had no chance to meet. In the past six months, Li Jing has written three letters, each time mentioning the general Yuerong.

   Once or twice, the name was particularly impressive in his mind.

   A month ago, he led the Meng family army to meet Yuerong. He thought that he must quickly defeat the Chu army, kill Yue Rong himself, and let Li Jing open his eyes and take a good look at his ability.

   Never thought about it, Yuerong had already made a plan to lure the enemy and led him into an ambush step by step. Instead of beheading Yuerong himself, he was cut off by Yuerong's leg, almost losing his life.

   The news that he was seriously injured must have reached Li Jing's ears!

   When Li Jing wrote to him, he must have ridiculed and ridiculed him for losing a battle and losing a leg!

   The eldest prince's expression changed and changed, but he never made a sound.

   Liang Erlang coughed and reminded in a low voice, "The messenger is still outside the military tent. Your Highness, please see the messenger first!"

   The discord between the two brothers is a private matter and should not be made public. Not even the messenger was missing, which was too dignified.

   The eldest prince came back to his senses, and said in an obscure voice: "Let the messenger come in."

   After a while, the prince who delivered the letter entered the army tent, knelt down and kowtowed. The state of Yan and Chu are both at war, and the two armies have penetrated into both places of Yan and Chu, gathering for hundreds of miles. Sending a letter is not easy.

   The prince's personal soldiers put their hands on the faith and said respectfully: "His Royal Highness ordered Xiao to send a letter to His Highness. If His Highness wants to write a reply, Xiao will just take it back."

   The eldest prince cheered up and said, "You go down and settle down first, and I will have someone send the reply letter to you before tomorrow."

  The prince's personal soldiers, who had been running around for several days, retreated to rest.

   The eldest prince's leg injury was serious, but his hands were not injured. He was holding the letter that was not very thick, as if he was holding a scalded caltrop with an expression of wanting to throw it out.

Liang Erlang couldn't help but whispered: "His Royal Highness, please listen to me. In any case, His Royal Highness is His Highness's brother. In the past, there was some estrangement between brothers, and now His Highness is injured. Why don't your Highness take this opportunity to reconcile with His Royal Highness the Prince?"

   In other words. In the past, the eldest prince and the crown prince had competed against each other, but they had never fought. Now that the crown prince has frequently made meritorious deeds, the eldest prince has injured his leg and has become a half-crippled person. In the future, even if His Royal Highness's storage position is unstable, it will not be the eldest prince's turn.

   If you don’t bow your head at this time, what are you waiting for?

   As long as the eldest prince is willing to bow his head, the prince's mind may not be able to tolerate an eldest brother with a broken leg!

  It is also fortunate that Liang Erlang is the eldest prince's brother-in-law. If someone else said such things, the eldest prince would have turned his face and expelled others.

  Rao is like this, the eldest prince's face is not good, and it takes a long time to squeeze out a few words: "I want to read the letter, you go back first!"

  The heart of the eldest prince is too narrow.

Liang Erlang sighed inwardly and answered in a low voice. Before he got up and left, he couldn't hold back, and he persuaded two more words: "His Royal Highness takes care of brotherhood, and His Highness writes a good reply. Brothers, there is nothing that can't pass. Hom."

   The main reason is that you can't get over the hurdles in your heart.

   The eldest prince was silent.

   Liang Erlang had to say goodbye and strode away.

  After Liang Erlang left, the eldest prince did not open the letter, but threw the letter to the ground and closed his eyes.

   Eunuch Zheng stepped forward quietly, picked up the letter, and gently placed it beside the eldest prince's pillow.

   I don't know if the first prince fell asleep. In short, the first prince kept his eyes closed until it was dark. The two imperial physicians came again to ask for a pulse change.

   Every time the dressing is changed, the wound will be touched, like torture.

   The eldest prince was sweating profusely on his forehead, and his face was contorted with severe pain.

   After the medicine was changed, the eldest prince also seemed to have lost half his life, breathing heavily, enduring no pain.

   Little Zheng Gonggong brought a bowl of warm porridge, but the eldest prince had no appetite at all: "I won't eat it! Take it out!"

   Eunuch Zheng put the bowl aside, picked up the letter on the ground, put it in the hand of the first prince, and reminded in a low voice: "His Royal Highness, the prince's letter has not been opened yet."

   "A servant, you dare to teach your master!" The eldest prince suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes burning with anger: "Get out!"

   Eunuch Zheng was scolded and fled.

   The more the eldest prince thought about it, the more angry he became. He picked up the envelope and tore it in half with force.

  …

  In another tall and spacious military tent, all the generals gathered, and Emperor Yongjia Shen Sheng discussed the next battle with the generals.

   Liang Dalang Liang Erlang was guarding outside the military tent.

  The weather in Chu is hot and humid, even in winter, it is not too cold.

Both    brothers are tall and strong, standing side by side like two iron towers.

   "I heard that His Royal Highness Prince has sent a letter." Liang Dalang did not turn his head, and a very low voice entered Liang Erlang's ears.

As soon as Liang Erlang heard it, he knew what the eldest brother was going to ask, and sighed softly: "Yes. However, His Highness does not seem to appreciate it. I persuade His Highness to read the letter and write a reply to His Highness the Prince, so that it can be repaired. His Highness does not listen at all. , then drove me back."

   Liang Dalang was silent for a moment, then spit out a few words: "Your Highness is too narrow-minded."

Yes!

  It's all at this time, and he is still fighting with the prince for his face. Not only is he narrow-minded, but he can't see the situation clearly.

   Having such a brother-in-law is really enough.

   "Forget it, we have done our best." Liang Erlang whispered: "Father is right. Our brothers are dedicated to serving the emperor, and the affairs between the princes have nothing to do with us."

   Liang Dalang nodded slightly.

  It is his business for the eldest prince to die, and the Liang family can't follow along.

   In the past, the two brothers had a little thought. Now, that little thought has long since vanished.

  The Liang family was a loyal minister and a slave to the emperor's family. They are loyal to the emperor now, and when the prince succeeds the throne in the future, they will be loyal to the prince again. This is the path the Liang family has to take, and it is the safest and safest.
