Tang Dynasty

The kiss was lingering yet powerful, almost taking away the breath.Li Jiancheng raised his face slightly, grabbed the other side's skirt, and responded slowly and meticulously.

After the kiss was over, Li Shimin's breathing became disordered, and he approached again with his face lowered, obviously unwilling to let all this be interrupted.

However, Li Jiancheng avoided it without a trace, looked at the wine jar held by the other party with one hand, and said, "Didn't Shimin come to find elder brother to drink today?"

Li Shimin was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, but he suppressed his agitated mind and said with a smile, "Naturally."

Li Jiancheng looked up at him, said nothing, just turned around and entered the room.Li Shimin hurriedly followed, put the wine jar on the table, emptied the teacups on the table, and replaced them with wine.

When Li Jiancheng closed the door and turned around, he handed over a glass of wine in his hand, looked into the other's eyes, and said word by word: "Shimin respect big brother three glasses!"

After finishing speaking, he raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.

Li Jianjian stood in place, quietly watching the other party fill the empty glass again and again, and drink it up again and again.Until the end, he vigorously pressed the empty cup on the table, looked up at Li Jiancheng and said with a smile, "From today on, Eldest Brother is my Tang Dynasty's crown prince. Shimin, congratulations, Eldest Brother."

There was a pure and sincere joy in his eyes, and when he said the word "Congratulations", he even revealed a bit of rare restraint.Li Jiancheng watched intently, but after all, he couldn't detect half of the falsehood from that gaze.

And this kind of gaze made his heart tighten a little bit suddenly.

However, after a pause, Li Jiancheng smiled indifferently on his face. He looked at Li Shimin and asked slowly: "Shimin, is this true... but sincerely?"

A trace of surprise flashed across Li Shimin's face, but he quickly smiled and said, "Don't you believe in Shimin?"

"Of course I believe it," Li Jiancheng said calmly, "but I don't know how long I can believe it."

"That's exactly what elder brother said," Li Shimin said with a smile when he heard the words, "the future is unpredictable, but at this moment, Shimin treats elder brother with sincerity."

In his words, he quietly changed what the two said. Li Jiancheng heard it, but he just lowered his eyes and smiled.

True.The world is fickle, but who can guarantee the future?

——It's just Shimin, if there is a day when brothers will fight against each other, I will definitely accompany you to the end!

After a long time, he lowered his eyes to look at the wine in his hand, but saw that the color in the glass was clear and sparkling under the candlelight.After a little hesitation, he raised his head and drank it all.

"Shimin, I will return you three cups, brother."

He walked to the table, lifted the wine jar, and immediately filled a bottle of wine.Just like what Li Shimin did just now, like this three times, he raised his head and drank it all.

Li Shimin stared at his elder brother intently, but saw that under the dim candlelight, the fine nectar in the cup shimmered, crystal clear, slowly dripping down the corners of his reddish lips, sliding across his slender neck, winding Winding through the thin collarbone, finally, submerged in the depths of Shengxue's skirt...

His eyes followed and circled down, and he was fixed there, unable to move away.

Li Jiancheng drank all three cups, put down his cup, raised his sleeve to wipe off the spilled wine, but someone grabbed his arm suddenly.

Li Shimin was already standing very close in front of him, with a slightly taller stature, which made him just look down slightly at this moment.

"Brother, let Shimin help you..." He opened his mouth, his voice has become hoarse and deep.After finishing speaking, he clasped Li Jiancheng's shoulders and leaned over.But when the lips and teeth were almost touching, they suddenly parted a bit, and the tip of the tongue lightly licked the corners of the other's lips.

Contaminated with the residual alcohol, it instantly turned into kisses as fine as rain, and they could never be separated again.

The corners of the lips, the jaw, the side neck, the collarbone, the front chest... linger and meander along the direction of the wine dripping.Where the lips and teeth pass, the clear alcohol smell is taken away, leaving behind bright red marks.

I don't know if it was because of the drink, or because the other party insisted on teasing, Li Jiancheng panted lowly, and felt that the breath he exhaled between his mouth and mouth was getting hotter and hotter bit by bit.

Consciousness became a little trance, and self-control was slowly dissipating.Until the clothes were pulled up to his shoulders, and the hot lips and teeth of the other party followed closely, Li Jiancheng felt as if a fire was ignited all over his body, which made him almost paralyzed.He stretched out his hand, grabbed Li Shimin's skirt, pulled it towards him vigorously, and leaned forward to kiss him in the slight astonishment of the other party.

Li Shimin didn't have time to be surprised, and instinctively kissed him together.In the kiss that was almost biting and biting, the two quickly lost their clothes.When they pushed and fell on the bed together, Li Shimin leaned over, lowered his head, and looked very closely at the person completely covered by him, his eyes turned red, and his breath changed little by little. heavy.

——This man... is the crown prince of all the people in the world, but he is also his eldest brother alone.

——There is no one else who can fully own him like himself.nobody.

Every time I think about it, my heart is full of uncontrollable ecstasy and impulse.

However, Li Jiancheng was deeply trapped in the quilt, but during this short period of blankness, he had already recovered a bit of sanity.He raised his eyes, and slowly moved his gaze away along the roof of the tent above his head, over the broad and bare shoulders in front of him, and finally, he slowly met those eyes full of desire.

To be so honest and undisguised, it made people's heart suddenly tighten again.

After a while, the gaze began to bully him, and then turned into a lingering light bite on his neck.Feeling that the other party's touch has already fallen to his lower body, Li Jiancheng closed his eyes, and with a slight force of fingertips, he clasped the other's shoulder, as if waiting for that moment to come.

Extremely painful, but also extremely beautiful that moment.

Even though he was already too used to each other's bodies, the moment he entered, the almost burning temperature between them made him involuntarily raise his jaw and slightly opened his eyes.

In sight, the roof of the tent was shaking slowly.Every time they fit together, it was as if a fire was ignited in the body, burning both body and mind, and the rationality gradually collapsed, replaced by... an inextricable addiction.

When did it all start?

Was it from the time he blocked Song Laosheng's sword for himself, or was it the rainy night when he braved the heavy rain and brought him back to the camp?

Is it from the moment when he returned to the sea of ​​flames with injuries to take medicine for himself, or the moment when the phrase "this battle is only for you" rang in his ears?

Was it from the time when he tirelessly searched for famous doctors for himself, or...

Everything is already unknown.

Under the violent blows under his body one after another, Li Jiancheng only felt that his mind had gradually become unable to think.The all-too-familiar voice "Big Brother" in the ear is still calling in a low voice, the voice is mixed with heavy panting, hoarse and deep, but it also carries the most incomparable temptation.

Feeling the kiss from the other party again, Li Jiancheng closed his eyes and responded confusedly during the exchange of breaths.

——Shimin, remember what you said today.

——In this life, this crown, I will not allow anyone to take it away again.

——If there comes a day... Shimin, even if it is you, I will never show mercy.

Thinking of this, he stretched out his hand again, wrapping his arms around the opponent's shoulder, almost holding on tightly with all his strength.

----

Only one month after Li Yuan proclaimed himself emperor, the urgent military situation of Babaili spread to Chang'an.Xue Ju, Xue Renguo and his son, who had been repulsed by Li Shimin last year, attacked again. Wherever the army went, they burned, killed and looted, and the areas of Jingzhou, Binzhou, and Qizhou were in danger.

After hearing the news, Li Yuan made a decisive decree, still ordering Li Shimin to lead an army to conquer.On the day of the expedition, it was raining lightly, and Li Yuan led all the officials out of the city to see him off.

Although the opponent is not a newcomer, but this is the first battle of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan naturally dare not take it lightly.After handing over the wine to practice, he patted Li Shimin on the shoulder and said: "The safety of the river and the mountain will be guarded by the guards of honor. Shimin, be sure to triumph!"

I heard the same thing from that person.Hearing this, Li Shimin forgot to return the gift for a while, instead he instinctively looked behind Li Yuan.

Li Jiancheng was still wearing the fiery red cloak, and inside he was all in plain white.Facing the gaze he cast, he raised the corners of his lips slightly, revealing a faint smile.

As the crown prince of a country, he will no longer have to do everything by himself when it comes to marching and fighting.Therefore, in this battle, Li Shimin went alone.

Seeing that smile clearly, Li Shimin also smiled unconsciously.Staring blankly at the other party, Liu Wenjing who was beside him coughed softly, then came back to his senses and clasped his fists at Li Yuan and said, "I will definitely live up to your majesty's expectations."

After all, the army waved away.

The light rain was cold, and the army moved a little slowly.As a lieutenant general, Liu Wenjing rode with Li Shimin on horseback. Under the hood, his facial features and hair were a little wet, but his eyes looking into the distance were particularly deep and deep.

After surrendering Na Qu Tutong and returning from Yongfengcang, when Liu Wenjing saw Li Shimin again, she felt that although it was only half a year, the other party had changed a lot.

Even with such bottomless eyes at this moment, he is no longer the slightly impulsive boy he was back then.

However, at a young age, he has already become a marshal in the west and sent troops to fight against the enemy.The experience in the army, after all, is what inspires people to grow.

Liu Wenjing looked back at the other party, suddenly remembered something, but looked over again.

Under the rain, a slightly swollen mark on the corner of Li Shimin's lips could be seen faintly.If ordinary people saw this scar, they might not take it seriously, but for Liu Wenjing, after going to the mansion several times at night to find him but failed, it was obvious what this scar represented.

Withdrawing his gaze, he smiled bitterly.This time, he was noticed by Li Shimin on the side.He turned his face sideways, looked at Liu Wenjing and said, "Zhao Ren has something to say?"

Liu Wenjing suddenly came back to her senses, but smiled very quickly, and brought up other topics: "I'm just curious, I don't know what plan King Qin has in mind for this trip to fight Xue Ju and his son?"

Hearing this, Li Shimin frowned slightly and said, "But we haven't seen each other for a few months, how come Zhaoren has become so different?"

Liu Wenjing was startled, but quickly understood, then smiled lightly, and repeated: "I don't know what plan Shimin has in mind for this trip to fight Xue Ju and his son?"

Li Shimin just smiled, raised his eyes to look at the road ahead, and only softly said four words: "Later strikes."

"Last attack?" Liu Wenjing looked at his profile, and for some reason, she felt that his expression resembled Li Jiancheng for a moment.He frowned and said, "Shimin, have you ever thought that this battle is the first battle of the founding of the Tang Dynasty. His Majesty personally sent my army to the outskirts of the city, and he also hoped that we would bring an exciting battle as soon as possible." Come back with a big victory. This battle needs to be fought quickly, and it cannot be delayed for a long time."

Still looking into the distance, Li Shimin shook his head and said, "After first occupying Chang'an, I have fought against Xue Renguo, and I know that his father and son are irritable and conceited. Rather than a quick battle, it is better to delay until the end Break through in one fell swoop when you are restless." After a pause, he turned his head to look at Liu Wenjing and said, "So in this battle... you must strike late in order to win."

Liu Wenjing looked at him, and wanted to persuade him again, but Li Shimin stopped and said: "Zhaoren doesn't need to say anything, I have made up my mind at this moment."

Looking at him, Liu Wenjing could only shake her head and sigh.

A few days later, the army was stationed in the Gaochai area, and Xue Ju's army on the other side was staring at each other, and there was a momentum of confrontation.

Xue Jujun was at a time when he was full of arrogance, and when he saw Li's army coming to meet him, the leader was Li Shimin, who was young, so he sent troops outside the camp the next day, doing his best to harass and provoke.

The young generals in the tent couldn't hold back, they were already furious.After several pleas for orders, he only said to go out and kill the enemy in one fell swoop.

However, as the chief general, Li Shimin, who always advocated quick battles and quick decisions, was extraordinarily calm this time.He pressed down the young generals' request to go to battle, and let Xue Ju's troops yell and insult him for several days, but he was unmoved.

Liu Wenjing originally intended to take the lead in the battle, but when she saw this, she felt extremely anxious.However, he has known Li Shimin for several years, but he also knows that his temperament has always been the most assertive.Even if no one agrees with the decision you make, you must stick to it to the end.

However, seeing the passing of time day by day, the army was sitting in the city, but they did not have the slightest attitude to meet the enemy.He finally couldn't restrain himself, and after discussing with Yin Kaishan, another lieutenant general, he decided to go to Li Shimin's account together to persuade him.

In the early morning of the next day, the two met to go to Li Shimin's big tent, but the other party was not in the tent, but stood alone on the edge of a remote cliff, quietly watching from afar.The mountain wind whizzed past him, making his blue cloak flutter.

Liu Wenjing and Yin Kaishan looked at each other, walked forward, and said in unison, "His Royal Highness King Qin!"

Li Shimin didn't turn around when he heard the words, but raised his face slightly, and asked, "What's the matter, you two?"

"His Royal Highness the King of Qin," Yin Kaishan's temperament was more anxious than Liu Wenjing's, and he didn't even have to make an opening statement when he came here. Consuming the enemy's strength, food and grass, but I'm afraid it will be delayed for a long time, and on the day of the battle, our army's vigor will not be much left."

"Your Highness, this battle is the first battle of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and it is of great significance." Liu Wenjing also echoed her words when she heard the words, "We not only need to win this battle, but also need a hearty and hearty victory to be able to do so." Settle down the four corners of the world!"

"This matter is mentioned to me by several people every day." Li Shimin was silent for a long time, and said slowly, "I have made my own decision, and you don't need to persuade me. When the time comes to send troops, I will definitely teach you to know."

For some reason, Liu Wenjing only felt that his voice was unusually low and hoarse when he heard what he said just now.He looked up at the back of the other party, then bowed his hands and continued: "Your Highness... please think twice!"

But this time, when Li Shimin heard the words, it was as if he had never heard of them. Not only did he not reply for a long time, but he did not even move.

Knowing that the other party might be a little annoyed, Liu Wenjing has already decided to remonstrate to the end.In a blink of an eye, he and Yin Kaishan looked at each other again, and the two took a step forward together, still repeating the words just now: "Your Highness! Your Highness Wanwang think twice about going to war!"

Li Shimin stood tall in the wind, but he remained motionless when he heard the words.

The unusual silence made Liu Wenjing feel a little strange.He raised his eyes, stretched out his hand towards Li Shimin, lightly touched Li Shimin's arm, and asked tentatively, "...Your Highness?"

However, the moment he touched the opponent's arm, Li Shimin suddenly staggered and took a step back, his body softened, and he almost bumped into Liu Wenjing.

Shocked, Liu Wenjing and Yin Kaishan hurriedly helped him up.However, it wasn't until he held the opponent's arm that he realized that Li Shimin's whole body was completely icy cold.Looking at his complexion, there was no trace of blood on his cheeks and lips.

"Your Highness is ill," Yin Kaishan hastily stood up, raised his voice to call a few soldiers, then he turned to Li Shimin and said, "Your Highness, hurry back to the camp, and call the doctor to go!" Let's go in a hurry.

"No, there's no need..." Li Shimin said hastily, struggling to get up.Liu Wenjing couldn't stop him, but saw that he hadn't stood still, but his legs and feet were weak, and he fell back to the original place heavily, and passed out completely.
