A bolt from the blue, the sky of the Li family collapsed.
The backyard fell into a panic. The maids carried Jin Xiang, who had fainted, back to the wing. Cui Jie stood in the yard and burst into tears.
The news could not be concealed, and soon everyone in the Duke's mansion knew that Li Qinzai was seriously injured and did not know whether he was alive or dead.
The whole house was in chaos, and panic spread quickly like a plague.
Li Qinzai's mother Li Cui rushed to the backyard and saw Cui Jie still standing in the yard with a blank expression. Li Cui stepped forward and hugged her, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law burst into tears.
Half an hour later, after learning the news, Li Siwen hurried back to the house from the official office. Li Cui seemed to have seen a life-saving straw, and she started crying while pulling Li Siwen.
Li Siwen's eyes were red, he gritted his teeth and tried to stay calm.
Li Ji and Li Qinzai are away, and other brothers in the family are serving as officials. Now, he is the only one in charge of the Duke's mansion.
"Has the news been confirmed? Is it really Qin Zai who was seriously injured?" Li Siwen asked Butler Wu with a trembling voice.
Butler Wu wiped away his tears and said: "The news just came from the palace, the memorial written by my husband, clearly stated that the fifth young master was seriously injured and unconscious, and he does not know whether he is alive or dead."
Li Siwen's body swayed, and his face instantly turned pale, but he still stood firm.
But Mrs. Li Cui cried more and more uncontrollably, grabbing Li Siwen's arm and beating her constantly.
"Why are you crying! I haven't seen anyone alive or a body after death. My father only said he was seriously injured, not that Qin Zai was dead." Li Siwen said in a more serious tone.
Mrs. Li Cui stopped crying, and when she raised her head, her eyes were filled with the light of hope.
"Yes, Aweng only said that he was seriously injured and did not say that Qin Zai was dead. The serious injury must still be treated!" Li Cui murmured.
Then he turned around and hugged Cui Jie. Li Cui said hurriedly: "Jie'er, Jie'er, don't panic. The news has not been confirmed yet. Even if it is confirmed, Qin Zai is only seriously injured. He must be fine."
A glimmer of light finally appeared in Cui Jie's lifeless eyes.
Li Siwen said in a deep voice: "Steward Wu, tell the servants in the house that the news of Qin Zai's serious injury is not allowed to spread everywhere. In addition, he will send troops to Dengzhou Port to find out the news immediately. If there is no news in Dengzhou Port, we will cross the sea. Go to Goguryeo to inquire and find out whether Qin Zai is alive or dead."
Butler Wu saluted and left in a hurry.
Li Siwen looked around at Li Cui's family, Cui Jie and others, and said, "Don't be impatient for a moment. I will repair the book and send it to my father immediately to ask about Qin Zai's situation. Don't cry until the news is confirmed. The Li family will not fail!"
Cui Jie wiped her tears, lowered her eyelids and saluted Li Siwen, and said, "Ah Weng, I want to go with Bu Qu to Dengzhou Port to inquire about my husband. Please agree."
Li Siwen hesitated and said nothing.
However, seeing Cui Jie's firm expression, as if she was determined to go to Dengzhou, Li Siwen had no choice but to sigh and said: "The journey is long and the carriage is difficult to travel..."
"When I was still unmarried, my mother's master taught me how to ride a horse. Don't worry about it."
Li Siwen could only sigh and wave his hand. Cui Jie saw that he had acquiesced, so she bowed and said goodbye.
…………
Li Ji went to Beijing with a memorial, but he didn't know that it had caused a storm in Chang'an.
The news that Li Qinzai was seriously injured not only shocked the British government, but also shocked Li Qinzai's disciples.
After receiving the news, Li Sujie, Li Xianqi, Bi Zhen and others were shocked. In grief, they immediately rushed to the British government to inquire.
When Bu Qu from the Duke's Mansion told them that Cui Jie was about to go to Dengzhou with Bu Qu to inquire about Li Qinzai's situation.
Outside the door of the mansion, Li Sujie and others surrounded the door, all anxiously wiping away tears and at a loss what to do.
The news has not been confirmed to be true or false, but it is obviously not good news.
The two princesses of Xuancheng and Yiyang were also in the crowd. The two sisters held hands tightly. Their faces were covered with tears and they didn't bother to wipe them. They stood on tiptoes and looked into the door of the mansion, trying to hear whether the news that their husband was seriously injured was a rumor. .
A group of people, plus followers from each family, surrounded the Duke's mansion.
After a long time, Cui Jie, dressed in plain clothes, walked out of the mansion with a solemn expression. The disciples were startled and hurriedly stepped forward to salute and greet her, and then asked about Li Qinzai's condition.
Of course, Cui Jie didn't know. She concealed her sorrow and calmly comforted the disciples, telling them that she would rush to Dengzhou Port soon and might even enter Goguryeo.
Li Sujie was the oldest, and he had the deepest relationship with Li Qinzai's master and apprentice. When Cui Jie said that he was going to Dengzhou, Li Sujie gritted his teeth and firmly told Cui Jie that his disciple was willing to go to Dengzhou with his master's wife.
Li Sujie took the lead, and the other disciples expressed their willingness to go together.
Before Cui Jie had time to stop them, she saw everyone turning around and telling her followers to go home and report the news. She, her teacher's wife, and her classmates would immediately leave Chang'an for the east.
They left immediately without even bothering to pack their luggage. Everyone got on a horse and headed out of the city with Cui Jie surrounded.
There were more than two hundred members of the Li family, plus the entourages and servants of each family. Unconsciously, the team heading to Dengzhou numbered more than a thousand, and the group left the city in a mighty manner.
At the same time, Li Zhi's imperial edict also left Chang'an and flew towards the battlefield of Goguryeo.
…………
After more than ten days of rest, Li Qinzai's injuries improved a bit, but the fractures and internal injuries in his legs were still not healed.
In order to treat his injury, Jin Dayan tried her best and used her lifelong skills.
Therefore, although the injury has been recovering slowly in the past few days, it is still relatively optimistic. According to Jin Dayan's analysis, there will be no serious sequelae after the injury.
After more than ten days, Li Qinzai was able to sit up from the bed, but the bone injury in his leg was still recovering and he could not walk.
Li Qinzai's temperament could not keep him lying on the bed, so he drew a drawing and asked the army craftsmen to build a wheelchair with wooden wheels.
It is not difficult to build a wheelchair. It has two wheels on a horizontal axis, a set of shock-absorbing iron plates on it, and finally a soft seat cushion and backrest.
After the craftsmen finished building it, Li Qinzai was carried into a wheelchair by Buqu, with Xiao Baga pushing him behind him.
Li Qinzai was in a particularly good mood today. He had not left the camp for more than ten days. He finally breathed the fresh air outside and saw the sunshine, white clouds, green mountains and green water.
Jin Dayan also followed behind the wheelchair. She had a worried look on her face and kept telling Xiao Baga to be gentle.
He already had serious internal injuries, but if his internal organs were slightly bumped while sitting in a wheelchair, it would be another troublesome matter.
"Golden Divine Doctor has great medical skills," Li Qinzai looked at the scenery in the camp and couldn't help but praise: "After this battle, will Golden Divine Doctor be willing to return to Chang'an with me and be a tribute to my Li family?"
Jin Dayan hesitated and said nothing.
Xiao Baga chuckled and helped: "Doctor Jin, don't hesitate. I believe you also know very well that Goguryeo will soon be the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and the people of Goguryeo will also be the people of the Tang Dynasty in the future."
"Since we are all from the Tang Dynasty, why not give your skills to the prince's family? You have known my husband for a long time, and you know his character well. I believe that your husband will treat you well."
