Chapter 12: Encountering King Qin by chance?
In the evening, on the quiet official road, a group of cavalry with a hundred cavalry escorted a carriage running wildly on the road. A knight dressed as a general at the front looked back anxiously at the carriage from time to time. It is not difficult to imagine that the carriage There must be someone on there that he cares about very much.
"Your Highness, please rest for a while! So far, more than ten sergeants have collapsed on the road from exhaustion. You see, all the horses have begun to foam at the mouth. If this continues, before we reach Chang'an, we ourselves will I fell down tired."
A big man with a beard on his face and wearing bright light armor shouted loudly to the person who was galloping in front of him.
"You know it, but you can't! The third sister is in critical danger right now. If we don't return to Chang'an in time to find the imperial doctor for treatment, I'm afraid. I'm afraid." The general, who was called His Highness, could no longer speak at this time, but the sadness and pain on his face showed There is no way to hide it.
"Your Highness, be careful!" Just when His Highness was distracted, the good horse under his feet fell forward for some reason, and a sergeant with an upright face on the other side warned loudly.
The knight behind heard this and immediately pulled up the reins. "Hey! Hey!" and controlled the horse to run in both directions, fearing that it would hit the people in front. Judging from this reaction, it is not an exaggeration for the cavalry pair to praise their elite soldiers. .
His Highness was not an easy person to deal with. The moment the war horse fell, his body rose up from the ground and threw himself towards the grass on the side.
"Your Highness! Your Highness!" The sergeant behind him was shocked when he saw this. He ordered everyone to stop and immediately ran towards the His Highness.
"King Qin!" "Your Highness!" "His Royal Highness King Qin!" There was an endless stream of shouts!
"Your Highness, are you okay?" Everyone asked anxiously.
"Ha! I didn't expect that I, Li Shimin, would have such an embarrassing day!" The person called His Highness said bitterly.
That's right, the person in front of you is His Highness Li Shimin, King Qin of the Tang turned out that during the war with Liu Heitai, her third sister, Li Xiuning, who was known as the heroine among women, was injured by the enemy's hidden arrow. Li Xiuning did not treat her in time for the sake of her own morale. Now she was in danger! I originally wanted to enter Guanzhong from Hedong, but I didn't expect that there were enemy troops blocking the road ahead. I had no choice but to enter Guanzhong from the trip lasted day and night, without any rest for three whole days. Now everyone has reached their limit, and this is the scene just now.
"Your Highness! Your Highness! The princess is awake, the princess is awake, and the princess has asked the maid to come and call your highness over!" Just when Li Shimin was bald, a maid who was placed next to his third sister hurriedly ran to him and shouted urgently. said.
"Quick! Quick! Take me there!" Li Shimin didn't care much, and hurriedly got up from the ground, enduring the severe pain of falling off the horse, and walked towards the carriage.
"Third sister! How are you feeling? Don't worry, we will arrive in Chang'an soon. The imperial doctor will diagnose and treat you then, and the medicine will definitely cure the disease. You must endure it first, and you must hold on!"
Li Shimin walked into the carriage and looked at the originally heroic third sister, who was now extremely thin and emaciated. She still had the spirit of a heroine! "Second brother!" Li Xiuning said with difficulty as his whole body trembled.
"Second brother is here! Don't say anything yet. We will arrive in Chang'an later. Just be patient!" Li Shimin looked at his third sister and held back his tears.
"I know everything. I'm afraid I won't be able to reach Chang'an. Second brother, please let me finish. I know my own condition. I'm very happy to see second brother."
"When my father raised an army, I was trapped in Chang'an. I was destined to die, but I, a woman, conquered Chang'an. As a woman, it is rare in the ages to be able to do what I am now. I have suffered and been tired in this life. , it has been glorious, and I am satisfied! Ahem!" Li Xiuning said, suddenly coughing.
"Third sister, please stop talking. Second brother is begging you!" Li Shimin couldn't help crying anymore. His sister was really suffering. During the time he was trapped in Chang'an, who knew what he had done? My sister has suffered so , I heard from her maid that there was almost no good skin on her sister's back and there were all kinds of scars. However, she never said that she used to be at home caring for her husband and raising children, but she put on her military uniform and went on horseback to kill the enemy. Now she has become It's all useless for me as an older brother to look like this!
A slight smile appeared on Li Xiuning's pale face, and Seisheng said: "Don't let the children see me like I am now. I must be very ugly now. I want their impression of my mother to remain forever when I was riding a horse on the battlefield. .”
"Stop! Who is that?" At this moment, a loud shout came from outside, which made Li Shimin's anger no longer suppressed, and he turned around and walked out of the carriage.
"What's going on?" Li Shimin said, suppressing his anger, but the coldness radiating from his body was something that even the generals on the battlefield next to him couldn't bear.
"Your Highness, there are two carriages coming from the opposite side. Our team is blocking the way. They asked us to make way." The sergeant said with some annoyance.
Just when Li Shimin was filled with anger, a familiar voice came from the carriage opposite: "Is this His Highness the King of Qin in front of you?"
At this time, the curtain of the carriage opposite opened, and a scribe with a simple appearance walked out, accompanied by a scribe in his thirties.
With the afterglow before the sun went down, Li Shimin saw the other party's face clearly and was immediately stepped forward and said: "It turns out that Master Li is in front of you, so the people of the world are polite!"
The person coming across from him turned out to be Li Gang, the Minister of Rites of the dynasty. Li Gang was the tutor of the prince of the dynasty, and he was a respected scholar. Even Li Shimin did not dare to neglect him, so after seeing the person clearly, he saluted immediately. .
"The King of Qin is too polite, I don't dare to accept it!" Li Gang stepped forward to help Li Shimin up and said hurriedly.
"In a humble position, Xie Lian and Xie Zizheng, doctors of Taixue, have met His Highness the King of Qin!" A scribe next to him stepped forward and saluted.
Li Shimin nodded slightly, said no courtesy, stopped looking at him, and said to Li Gang, "I wonder where Master Li is going?"
"The old man just listened to what Zizheng said. There is a young doctor here. Not only does he study and do knowledge without a teacher, but his medical skills are also rare in the world. Although Li did not believe it, he was also a little curious. Recently, due to physical discomfort, he took a vacation at home and had some free time. It's okay to come here, but the quilt is clamoring to come here to take a look." Li Gang explained to Li Shimin.
"What? There is a doctor here? Are you telling the truth?" When Li Shimin heard that there was a doctor to control himself any longer, he stepped forward and took Xie Lian's wrist, saying with red eyes.
It seemed that if the other party dared to say no, the consequences would definitely be disastrous.
"I don't dare to lie in my humble position. When I passed by here last year, a child suddenly contracted an emergency. It was the young doctor here who saved the child." Xie Lian endured the severe pain in his wrist and said quickly.
"King Qin, let go of Zizheng quickly, you are going to break his wrist." Li Gang, who was standing aside, could see clearly. He didn't know what kind of stimulus the King of Qin received to react so violently.
