Tang Dynasty

When everyone braved the heavy rain to cross the Yellow River from Longmendu, the rain was unknowingly much lighter than before.Even though the weather is still cloudy, the sky has brightened up.

Li Shimin turned his head and saw the scattered people following up behind him, so he let out a sigh of relief.Looking over the people and horses to the other side of the Yellow River, the city of Hedong is tall and majestic, and some vague shapes can be vaguely seen in the morning light.

A night of struggle and torture was finally left behind like this.

However, Li Shimin slowly grasped the rein in his hand.He will never forget this price, and sooner or later, he will get it back thousands of times.

Then he turned around and rode forward.

At the front of the line, Aggressive slowed down his horse.Even though the men who were sent to inquire about the position of the army had not yet returned, he knew in his heart that the disaster that lasted one night should finally be over.

He lowered his head and freed his hand to test the temperature of the person in his arms.The tentacles were still astonishingly hot, but the other party was just in a deep coma, and even during the jolting of the fast horse along the way, there was no movement at all.

If it weren't for the scalding hot breath that exhaled gently from his mouth and nose, he would have been mistaken for... Agbi frowned and let out a long sigh.He moved his body slightly forward, hugging the other party even tighter.

However, at this moment, the body of the person in his arms suddenly shook violently.Startled, he thought it was caused by the unsteady gait of the horse, but the trembling all over Li Jiancheng's body became more and more obvious.As if awakened suddenly, he put one hand on the horse's back, the other hand grabbed the lapel, and bent down in pain.

It was only then that he realized that something was wrong, he grabbed the opponent's shoulder and said anxiously: "Jiancheng, you are..."

However, the voice just fell, and only heard a high-spirited horse neighing behind him.As soon as Li Shimin lifted the reins, he stopped and hurriedly stopped by his side.

"Give me the eldest brother!" Even though he could hear the eagerness, the voice was not "Shizi" but "Jiangcheng", Li Shimin at this moment couldn't care too much.

After a moment of hesitation, his arms were suddenly empty.Li Shimin held Li Jiancheng into his arms vigorously, reached into his arms and groped for a while, but found nothing.

It suddenly occurred to me, after the big brother fought hard all night, even if he took the medicine with him and threw away his helmet and armor, how could he keep it?

Thinking of this, he knew that it was not too late, so he immediately turned his head and said to Tu Bi: "It's not too late, I'll take my eldest brother to find my father first, and the rest of the people will be able to work for Lao Zhuguo!" Has gone away.

Agbi lowered his head, looking at the empty arms.Shaking his head, he laughed self-deprecatingly.

----

The horseshoes were galloping like the wind, Li Shimin held Li Jiancheng's waist with one hand, and waved the whip almost non-stop with the other.

Li Jiancheng curled up, clearly in a weak posture of excruciating pain.Li Shimin didn't know how much sanity he had left at this time, he only knew that his elder brother was shaking so badly that he couldn't keep calm even with him.

This is not the first time he has seen such a big brother, but no matter how many times he has seen it, the throbbing in his heart will become more and more uncontrollable.He couldn't deny that Li Jiancheng's accidental vulnerability was too much temptation for him.He also couldn't tell clearly, at this time, how much strength he needed to use to resist the urge not to take this person into his arms and hug him tightly.

Taking a deep breath, Li Shimin leaned down and said slowly: "Brother, bear with me, we will be there soon!"

Finally, the shadow of the camp loomed ahead.Li Shimin was overjoyed, knowing that he had guessed correctly, Li Yuan's army did not enter the pass, but was stationed outside the pass, waiting for the two of them to return.

"Drive!" When he was approaching the camp, he whipped his whip vigorously, and he rushed over like an arrow with his men and horses.

"Who is it?" Seeing this, the guards outside the camp raised their spears and stepped forward to stop them.

"I'm Li Shimin," Li Shimin shouted without stopping, "Who dares to stop me?!"

Seeing that it was the second son, the guards were in such a hurry, they dared not stop him when they heard the words, so they stepped aside to let the road pass.Li Shimin rushed all the way into the camp, grabbed a guard, leaned over and asked, "Where is the son's tent?"

The guard was taken aback by his momentum, and quickly pointed to the east.Li Shimin didn't even look at it, he just stared at the guard and said: "Go and invite the doctor to the son's tent immediately! If you dare to delay for a moment, your life will be in danger!"

The guard ordered him to say "yes", and Li Shimin left without saying a word.

Only now did he realize that there seemed to be another person there.Could it be... The guard was startled, knowing that the matter was of great importance, he hurried to ask for a doctor.

Li Shimin came to Shizi's tent recklessly, got off his horse first, then picked up the man on the horse, and quickly walked into the tent.The guard at the door looked at each other in dismay, and was about to follow up and fight, but was stopped by his sentence "no one can enter without my permission".

Although Li Jiancheng was not there at that time, the camp was still in good condition as usual.The interior is spotless, the beds, tables and chairs, bookshelves, cabinets... even the placement of them has not changed a bit.

Li Shimin laid the person flat on the bed, and pulled up the quilt to cover half of his body. Only then did he realize that Li Jiancheng was frowning, dripping with cold sweat.

He shook the other party's hand and called out, "Brother! Where is the medicine? Brother?"

However, after asking many times, the other party did not respond.Li Shimin stood up impatiently, went to the cabinet and rummaged around.Soon, he held a vial and stood up.He had seen this vial before, and he knew it should be the medicine he needed.

Li Shimin poured the pills in the bottle into the palm of his hand, went to the table and poured half a cup of tea. Although it was cold, he couldn't care less now.

He hurried to Li Jiancheng's bed and knelt down. After a pause, he stretched out his hand and gently pinched his jaw.Seeing that Li Jiancheng opened his mouth following his movements, he pushed the pill in his hand into it.

Then he held the tea in his hand and looked at Li Jiancheng silently.

Li Jiancheng's lips were thin, and the color was originally light. At this time, with several serious injuries, his entire complexion, including the color of his lips, became extremely pale.

Li Shimin's hands trembled unconsciously.He looked down at the tea in the cup, then raised his head suddenly, and drank half of the cup in one go.

Then, he leaned down and kissed Li Jiancheng lightly.

The tip of the tongue easily pried open the jaws, and soon found the pill that stayed between the lips and teeth.Li Shimin fed the tea in his mouth bit by bit, and with this momentum, the pill quickly slid to an untouchable place.Li Shimin stretched out his hand, clasped Li Jiancheng's shoulder from behind, and pulled the belt into his arms with a little force, so he vaguely felt the other party's swallowing.

It's just that the action just now made the lips and teeth of the two people who were already touching become even closer.Even though the other party fell into a coma and didn't respond in the slightest, the burning breath in his mouth was like an invitation to Li Shimin.However, Li Shimin closed his eyes, feeling as if he was trapped in a vortex, letting him drag him down, sinking down, unable to extricate himself...

Li Shimin's mind went blank, he just instinctively followed the desire in his heart and almost tossed around.The arms that were originally holding the other party kept tightening, wishing to integrate the other party into his body.

Until a voice suddenly sounded outside the door: "Second Young Master, the doctor is here!"

Li Shimin suddenly woke up, only to realize that he had changed to a kneeling posture at some point, and Li Jiancheng was lying on his back in his shadow, his clothes had been pulled back to his shoulders.As for the arrow wound on his left shoulder, the falling blood drew a bright red line along the white clothes, and finally a dark spot of blood accumulated on the bed sheet.

"Second Young Master?" At this moment, a tentative low call sounded from outside the door again.

Li Shimin was stunned for a long time, then suddenly came back to his senses, and arranged his and Li Jiancheng's clothes indiscriminately.Letting out a long breath, he didn't dare to look at the person on the bed anymore, but tried his best to calm his voice and said to the outsider: "Please come in, doctor."

----

When Li Yuan heard the news and rushed to the tent, Li Jiancheng's wounds had been treated properly, and he was lying on his back beside the bed with a pale and calm expression.

Seeing this, the doctor who was taking the pulse by the bed hurriedly got up to salute.Li Yuan waved his hand to him, signaling that there was no need for it, so he walked up to him.

Seeing Li Jiancheng's condition up close, he sighed, turned to the doctor, hesitated for a while and asked, "How?"

The doctor replied: "His Royal Highness was injured by an arrow on his back. It is not a serious problem at all, but because of the heavy rain outside all night, he was weak for a while and caught the wind and cold." Seeing Li Yuan's face was worried. He added, "However, the son has some background in martial arts. If he takes care of it properly, it should not be a serious problem. I have treated the wound for the son just below, and I will take a few doses of decoction and cultivate for a few days. Can wake up."

Only then did Li Yuan show a slight look of relief, and said: "That's good." Just as he finished speaking, he saw a person who had opened the tent door and walked in, but it was Li Shimin.

Li Shimin just returned to the account with another doctor to treat the wound, and after the matter was over, he couldn't help but come back here.Unexpectedly, Li Yuan was here, at first he was startled, then he stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Father, before Shimin sent troops rashly without his father's approval, I hope father will punish him for the crime of violating orders."

Li Yuan stared fixedly at Li Jiancheng on the bed, but upon hearing this, he just shook his head and didn't speak.

Li Shimin followed his gaze to look there, seeing that Li Yuan was silent, he said anxiously: "Father... elder brother disobeyed his father's order and led the army to stay in the east of the river to buy time for the army to cross the river. If father wants to blame him, Please punish the people of the world together!"

Li Yuan raised his head and saw that his second son had new injuries of various sizes all over his body. He was full of blame, but he didn't know where to say it.

"It's a great blessing for the father that the two of you have come back in one body." He sighed heavily, and said, "It's built to take care of the overall situation and not hesitate to be alone and take risks. How can a father not know? You wholeheartedly sent troops for your elder brother, even though you were reckless, you saved people and returned them, so how can you punish your father?"

Li Shimin heard that Li Yuan didn't want to pursue this matter, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief.Immediately, he cupped his fists at Li Yuan and said, "Shimin thanked father on behalf of elder brother!"

Li Yuan stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, suddenly remembered something, and said, "I heard that when you returned to the camp, you were single-handed, and you only brought Jiancheng with you?"

Li Shimin said: "Brother is not injured enough, so there is no delay, so Shimin will take the first step." After a pause, "The rest of the troops have been delivered to the Turkic Pillar Kingdom, and they should return soon."

"Kang Jiaoli?" Li Yuan was startled when he heard the words, and said, "Why did he also cross the river?"

Li Shimin nodded slightly, and said in a low voice: "He... went to save Eldest Brother." But he didn't want to tell Li Yuan that he was the one who rescued Li Jiancheng before him.

Hearing this, Li Yuan's expression gradually changed from surprise to doubt.After a pause, he said, "How...how did you hand over all the troops to him?"

Li Shimin was taken aback, only now did he realize something was wrong.Although the Turks are their own alliance, they should not be trusted in the end. In his desperation, he had no worries and handed over the troops to him.Looking back at this moment, it was really a bit reckless.

However, for some reason, he just felt that the man would never leave with his troops.After all, the Li family's worship of the Turks has never been wrong. After all...the eldest brother is still here, and he has not recovered from his serious injuries.

Even though he was quite unwilling, he knew that if he were himself, he would definitely come back at this moment.Will not leave, will not leave.

Li Yuan saw that he was silent, so he sighed and said: "There are not many people, even if he takes him away, it's no problem, it's enough for the two of you to return." After a slight pause, he said, "Huayin Yongfeng Cang, Jingzhao Wannian, Liquan and other places have already sent people to contact the same father, expressing their intention to join us. Our army will rest outside this pass for a few days, and then we will settle down in Chaoyi and discuss again."

Li Shimin nodded, and listened to Li Yuan again: "Although my father said that he didn't want to punish the crime, he never said that he would not punish you two." The military power of the two of you. You two only care about recuperating your wounds, and you are not allowed to interfere in military affairs."

Li Shimin was moved when he heard the words, and thanked Li Yuan immediately, and the two went out of the tent together.

As soon as Fang stepped out, he saw a pair of people entering the camp head-on.The leader is Kang Jiaoli.When Kang Jiaoli saw Li Yuan, he got off his horse and saluted.Li Yuan was startled at first, but then his face showed joy, and he stepped forward and said, "How could this old man have never expected that Zhu Guo led his men and horses to the north to save the dog, Zhu Guo is really a loyal person!"

Kang Siaoli expressed his appreciation upon hearing the words.His eyes touched Li Shimin behind him, he just smiled and looked away.

Li Shimin was staring at him sharply, but when he saw him avoiding his eyes, he said goodbye to Li Yuan, turned around and left.

After walking a few steps, I vaguely heard Kang Jiaoli say: "To tell you the truth, when the Duke enters Chang'an, it will be the day I leave."

Li Shimin was stunned, stopped and turned around, only to see that the two had gone away, and their voices could no longer be heard.

----

The next day, the army pulled out the stronghold and went to Chaoyi.

Although Li Shimin's old injuries were affected by the fight in the middle of the night, but for him who is a martial arts practitioner, it is not too serious.At this time, he was sitting on the horse, holding the rein with the other hand, but his eyes were fixed on the distance.

The men and horses have gradually assembled, and the camp is almost empty at this moment.Only a carriage came slowly behind the people and horses walking around.

Li Shimin rode his horse over to stop, and softly called "Brother" to the carriage.

The coachman stopped the carriage, and the curtain had been gently lifted from the inside.Li Jiancheng revealed half of his face from inside, and his complexion was too pale, showing an unusually soft and gentle expression.He looked at Li Shimin and said with a faint smile, "Shimin."

Li Shimin's heart tightened. Today, after hearing that his elder brother woke up, he has been walking around outside his tent on horseback.However, recalling the out-of-control behavior at the bedside yesterday, I feel a little ashamed to see him, but dare not get close to him rashly.

However, seeing Li Jiancheng's calm expression at this time, the same as usual, he relaxed his tense heart, and quickly smiled: "Shimin heard that brother woke up, so I came to see."

Li Jiancheng nodded and said, "I heard that Shimin sent me back yesterday?"

Li Shimin hesitated, but finally he only said "yes".After all, in front of the coachman, it was impossible to mention Li Jiancheng's angina pectoris.

And Li Jiancheng seemed to understand it already, he just said softly: "Brother thanked the people of the world." He was originally a gentle person, but now that his injuries were not healed, he spoke more and more slowly, like a breeze, sweeping his heart lightly.

Li Shimin looked at him intently, and was about to say something, but a small school had already arrived at the same place, and only Dao Guogong looked for the second son to go there.

"Shimin, let's go." Li Jiancheng looked at him and said.

"Brother, please be careful on the road." Li Shimin said, and then rode away.

Li Jiancheng didn't move, and watched his figure go away.It wasn't until the figure merged into the crowd that he let go of his hand and closed the curtain.

"Let's go." He said to the driver.Then he relaxed his body, closed his eyes, and leaned against the car wall on his back.

He reached out and touched his lower lip lightly.Finally, he shook his head and chuckled to himself.

The author has something to say: Er Dao's heartfelt voice: Drag that damn doctor out and chop him up! ! ! ! !

PS. When checking the information, I mistook the place names called "Feng Yi (YI)" as people's names, and even mistook them as "Feng Xu (XU)", so there was a person who should not appear ...So I edited it, made him disappear, and changed it to "(Feng Yi Taishou) Xiao Zao".In fact, it has no effect, just changed the name of a supporting role, I have to say something about obsessive-compulsive disorder... ╮(╯▽╰)╭
