There was a slight "bang" sound, and Pei Xingjian's dozed head touched the armor he was wearing, waking him up.
After waking up, Pei Xingjian immediately raised his head and looked at the tall figure. Sure enough... he was still standing there, like an unstable tree.
It seemed that the watchman had already struck the clock just now. Your Highness... has been standing for five hours. Is this something a human can do?
Pei Xingjian was a little worried. The guards had been sitting and resting for several rounds.
"Third brother...I was wrong...Third brother, please, go and take a rest. It was my fault. I just kneel here by myself. I will kneel well. Third brother, please keep standing like this." Go down, something is going to happen." Li Min's lips were a little chapped. He didn't drink water or eat, and Li Ke was the same as him.
But Li Min knew that he spent most of the time sitting and his legs could relax, but even so, the bones in his body hurt as if they were falling apart, and his third brother... really didn't eat or drink or move. , just stood upright for so long.
Li Min was scared. It wasn't like he didn't understand anything. He was sitting here kneeling and taking all kinds of breaks. He couldn't stand it anymore, but his third brother... he had been standing all the time without taking a break. He knew that the third brother was warning him, but he didn't want anything to happen to the third brother. He knew that although the third brother had been strict with him since childhood, he actually cared about him.
He was even more concerned about him than Li Shimin. In his heart, the third brother was more like his father.
"Shut up." Li Ke spit out two words.
Li Min closed his mouth, but he couldn't hold back the tears in his eyes and fell directly.
"Hold back that bit of cat urine in your eyes. You were a mastermind when it came to playing with women, but not now?" Li Ke asked expressionlessly.
Li Min didn't say anything, he just sobbed and wiped away his tears, then stubbornly knelt there again.
The captain standing at the entrance of the alley looked at the situation inside, gritted his teeth, and made a decision, "Go and report the situation here to the captain, and report it to the top. If it doesn't work, report it to your majesty. If this continues, His Highness King Qin I can't bear it. Five hours has already exceeded the limit. If I continue to stand, His Highness King Qin's legs will become useless."
"Yes!" The Jinwu Guards soldier standing behind him raised his head and glanced at Li Ke with admiration, then turned and ran away.
The captain looked at the tall figure in the alley with admiration on his face. To be honest at first, he felt a little helpless and a little bit complaining. After all, the two princes were tossing these things in his town.
Moreover, His Highness the King of Qin did not hide this matter. Naturally, the people around him were talking about it, and he naturally knew the ins and outs. In his opinion, His Highness the King of Qin was playing the piano to an ox. If the King of Liang was so good at educating people, he would have educated him long ago.
Moreover, His Highness King Qin's trick may not work, after all, how long can one person stand alone.
But as time went by, the complaints in his mind disappeared and turned into admiration. He came here when he knew about it. They also stood together at the beginning. After all, the prince was still standing inside.
It's just... they couldn't hold on anymore. Their legs felt like they were filled with lead, as if they were no longer their own, and they had only stood for two hours at most.
But what about His Highness the King of Qin... It has been five hours now. It can be said that this group of soldiers has long been impressed by His Highness the King of Qin.
Therefore, he could not see anything happen to His Highness the King of Qin. In his heart, it didn't matter to King Liang that he was lame, but not His Highness the King of Qin.
Chang Lin was shocked when he received the news. It would take half an hour to report all the way from Yankangfang to here. He did not dare to neglect it, although it would not be good to call His Majesty at this point. Your Majesty has just rested for a short time, but now no one can persuade His Highness King Qin, except Your Majesty.
Li Shimin was a little unhappy when he was woken up by Chang Lin. Anyone who had just fallen asleep would also be unhappy when he was woken up, let alone the emperor.
But after listening to Chang Lin's report, everyone in Li Shimin was shocked, "Are you right?"
"Your Majesty, the Jinwu guards from Fangshi have been standing guard. They saw with their own eyes that His Highness King Qin did not move a muscle for five hours." Chang Lin also had admiration on his face. His Highness King Qin became ruthless... He was really ruthless. , He is indeed the King of Qin who was beaten to pieces with a military stick by His Majesty but refused to let go.
"Nonsense!" Li Shimin was also anxious.
"Change clothes, prepare horses, and leave the palace." Li Shimin said.
"Yes!" Chang Lin did not dare to neglect. Fortunately, His Majesty was resting in Liangyi Hall today, otherwise this would definitely alarm the harem.
By the time Li Shimin arrived with Chang Lin, another hour had passed, which meant that Li Ke had been standing here for six hours. It was actually nothing to him, although these hours were spent standing solidly. He came here, but he was not tired and could even stand for a few days.
But when he heard that Li Shimin had arrived, Li Ke was a little surprised. He didn't expect that his father would actually come running over in the middle of the night.
When Li Shimin walked in from the alley, he saw Li Ke, who was still standing there motionless. He felt distressed and angry, but he was definitely not angry at Li Ke at this moment. He had already heard Chang Lin report on Li Ke's handling of the matter. Yes, he was angry with Li Min right now.
To be honest, Li Min was really scared right now. He was afraid of his father. Normally, he would have run over and apologized and begged for mercy. However, the third brother hadn't moved yet, and he...he He also stood firm and motionless.
"Dad, why are you here?" Li Ke asked when Li Shimin came up.
"Let me see you two bastards. Do you have such an education? Don't you want your legs anymore?" Li Shimin was still very angry when he heard what he said, so he breathed a sigh of relief, but he still cursed.
"Dad, he did something wrong. As an elder brother, I have a non-negotiable responsibility. You are busy with state affairs all day long and have no time to care about him. This is my responsibility as an elder brother. So he made a mistake and I deserve this punishment. Dad, I will stand here until dawn." Li Ke said in a calm tone.
In a word, Li Shimin was also made speechless by him. He couldn't even curse him. What else could he say? If he continues to scold him, wouldn't he be scolding himself?
"Okay, even punishment is enough. Stand here until dawn. Do you want your legs? Go back quickly. Chang Lin will go see if Dr. Zhang is here?" Li Shimin said helplessly, and Chang Lin over there agreed. He turned around and left.
That's right, Datang already has the title of doctor. Doctors of medicine are the people with the highest medical achievements in Datang.
"Father, Third Brother, please take Third Brother back. It's my fault. I will kneel until dawn." Li Min said.
"You should kneel until dawn!" Li Shimin looked at him and cursed angrily.
"Yes!" Li Min said honestly.
