In order to protect the farm workers and the Qianzi camp from harvesting the last crops, Li Chengqian led the enemy away alone.
And didn't come back after that.
One day, two days, three days...
After Li Ji arrived in the Hetao area, he did almost nothing.
He did not go directly to the front line, nor did he command the army to fight.
He only directed those people to look for Li Chengqian everywhere.
But in the end, all that was found was the blood-stained silver gun left by Li Chengqian, and the white horse that ran away and came back from nowhere.
Looking at the spear in his hand.
Li Ji only felt bitter.
How can I explain this to Li Shimin...
But no matter what, he still wanted to report the news to Li Shimin.
When Li Shimin received the news, it was already morning ten days later.
On this day, Li Shimin listened to reports from various places as usual.
Then we will discuss the Northeast War.
That's when Li Shimin was discussing with everyone.
Suddenly a soldier from the Shenwu Army came in outside the door.
He knelt down on one knee facing Li Shimin and said: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from the border outside the palace gate!"
Li Shimin frowned, waved his hand and said, "Xuan."
The Shenwu Army went down, and soon a soldier holding a silver gun walked in.
When he reached the palace gate, he knelt down on his knees, and then used his knees as his feet to walk all the way to the palace.
"Your Majesty."
"Ten days ago, His Highness the King of Qin, in order to protect the farm, diverted the enemy troops away. He did not know where he ended up."
"Until five days ago, our army found traces of battle in Fanshan and found this blood-stained silver gun on the ground."
"After identification by His Highness King Qin's subordinates, this gun was exactly what His Highness was holding that day..."
"And according to the accounts of the prisoners captured by our army later, His Highness fought a bloody battle with the enemy in Fanshan that day."
He held up the silver gun in his hand and lowered his head: "When I was seriously injured, in order not to be captured by the enemy, I chose to jump off the cliff..."
Hearing these words, Li Shimin felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He was stunned on the spot for a long time and did not come back to his senses.
His lips trembled and he asked: "Where are they? Where are they now?"
The soldier raised his head and glanced at Li Shimin, then lowered his head again and gritted his teeth and said, "His whereabouts are still unknown."
Whereabouts unknown...
Isn’t this just what you say to comfort yourself?
He was seriously injured and jumped off a cliff. How could he possibly survive?
At that moment, Li Shimin could no longer sit still. If he hadn't used his hands to support him, he would have hit his head on the table.
After a long time, Li Shimin raised his head and looked at the crowd: "Now I want to go on a personal expedition, who will stop me?"
Everyone looked at each other and finally said nothing.
Li Shimin's eyes were filled with murderous intent.
"Instruct the three armies to set off tomorrow and follow me to Yanshan."
Li Shimin stood up slowly: "Even if we defeat Yanshan, I will still wipe out three tribes in the Northeast!"
After saying this, he suddenly turned around and walked towards the harem.
Eunuch Zhou was following behind him.
Looking at Li Shimin's back, which gradually began to become rickety, as if he had aged ten years.
Especially looking at his trembling shoulders, you can tell that his mood is not as calm as he showed in the court.
Since the Tang Dynasty was established in Chang'an, Eunuch Zhou has been with Li Shimin.
He had seen with his own eyes the joy he felt when Li Chengqian was held in Li Shimin's arms when he was born.
He saw with his own eyes the pride in Li Shimin's eyes when Li Chengqian could read and write.
He also experienced personally that as long as Li Chengqian made some achievements, Li Shimin would chatter to him for a long time.
Li Shimin's love for Li Chengqian is not revealed on the surface.
But he is not much worse than Li Tai, who favors all kings.
It's just that one is pampered inside and the other is pampered outside.
At this moment, only God knows how sad Li Shimin will be...
…
After Li Chengqian jumped from the cliff, he fell directly into the rushing Yellow River.
The person also fell asleep at that time, and before he could sink to the bottom, he was swept away by the rapid flow of the Yellow River.
He didn't know how long he had been unconscious. It seemed to be an hour or two, or a century or two.
When he regained consciousness and slowly opened his eyes, what he saw was an old and crude dome.
Not dead?
Or traveled through time again?
Li Chengqian was a little surprised that he could still open his eyes.
Although he had just regained consciousness, he was 100% sure that he was alive.
And there is no time travel, still in the Tang Dynasty.
If a person dies, he or she will feel the glare from the sunlight coming in from outside.
If he hadn't been in Datang, he wouldn't have felt the almost heartbreaking pain in his body.
It felt like there were millions of ants biting on me.
It felt like there were thousands of small saws cutting into my own bones.
He only opened his eyes for a moment, and soon passed out again.
When he woke up for the second time, it was still bright outside.
He didn't know how many more days he had been in coma, but the pain in his body had indeed eased a lot.
He took a few weak breaths and slowly rolled his eyes. After patrolling for a while, I finally got a rough look at where I was.
This is a simple hut, very small.
Apart from the kang he was sitting on, there was only one table in the room, not even a wardrobe or box.
The so-called family with four walls is nothing more than that...
He closed his eyes and calmed his mind.
Thinking about it, he should have been rescued by a family in the lower reaches of the Yellow River after he jumped off a cliff and fell into the Yellow River.
It's really lucky to say that.
This will also keep you alive.
But in the final analysis, this matter has something to do with his own previous operations.
After all, in order to avoid being beaten too painfully by Li Shimin, he bought Zhou Tai's anti-beating skill pack.
As mentioned above, Zhou Tai's vitality can be called an invincible Xiaoqiang.
And how could Li Chengqian die if he had his vitality?
There is no such thing as death to oneself.
Li Chengqian was still very happy.
He wanted to laugh three times to vent his excitement.
Unfortunately, he didn't have the strength.
Next, he wanted to move around and feel how serious his injuries were.
As a result, he just exerted a little force, and the sharp stinging sensation came swarming again.
The unbearable pain made Li Chengqian, who had Zhou Tai's ability to withstand beatings, unable to help but cry out in pain.
Immediately afterwards, he felt like the world was spinning and he fell into coma again.
When he woke up for the third time, he found that his eyes had become dim.
The window next to him was dark, except for the faint light of candlelight coming from the other side.
After learning a lesson, Li Chengqian did not dare to move his body anymore.
He lay there like a log, turning his eyes to look at the only light source in the hut.
There was a black oil lamp placed on the old wooden table. There was a person sitting at the table, a woman dressed as a village girl.
Li Chengqian couldn't see her appearance clearly, and couldn't guess how old she was.
"Well……"
Li Chengqian wanted to talk and asked her who she was.
The sound he made was as unpleasant as a cat scratching glass.
He didn't say anything, but the sound he made still startled the other party.
The village girl was shocked, stood up hurriedly and walked towards Li Chengqian.
She looked at Li Chengqian with concern.
After a while, she shouted excitedly: "Okay, okay, daddy, he's awake!"
Because she was standing against the light, Li Chengqian still couldn't see her clearly.
I only saw her pair of eyes that were comparable to the stars...
