Traveling through the troubled times of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Luo Cheng didn't sleep well this time. In his dream, for a while, Yu Wencheng was spitting blood, and for a while, it was the scene of him holding his hand in the grove and not letting him leave, his head was swollen.

But at this time, there were still quarrels in my ears.

"How do I know how he was injured? When I picked him up by the river, he passed out, or I snatched the ox cart halfway and dragged him here." The voice was uneven, and the speaker He shouldn't be too old, and he's still in the stage of changing his voice. It sounds familiar, and it's Li Yuanba's voice.

"Idiot! And mentioning your ox cart, since you've already snatched it, why don't you snatch a comfortable carriage?" The voice was exasperated, and it was Li Yuanji who could tell it apart after almost hearing it once.

However, Luo Cheng couldn't figure out why these two people were here and arguing endlessly.

"Then I haven't seen any carriages along the way."

"Okay, the bullock cart is just the bullock cart, but it's a big night, it's windy and cold, so it's fine if you don't cover him with a quilt or something. He's wet, so don't change his clothes. I was already worrying too much and my health was not good, but no, I contracted typhoid fever again.”

"That's how I came here, and I'm fine. I didn't know Brother Luo would get sick."

Li Yuanji snorted, and squinted at Li Yuanba: "Tch...you look like everyone, with rough skin and rough flesh."

Li Yuanba was really wronged this time, and brother Luo contracted typhoid fever, so he didn't say a word, and turned his body sideways angrily, letting Li Yuanji scold him.

Li Yuanji scolded for a while, but he lost his energy, and asked, "By the way, didn't you escort him with your father? How did you meet Luo Cheng?"

"Oh, that's terrible! I forgot about my father! Oh..." Luo Cheng was completely woken up by the two people's noisy voices, and opened his sleepy eyes.

"Third brother, why didn't you remind me! I still have something to tell you!"

Li Yuanji scoffed coldly: "You fool, what else can you do?"

Li Yuanba paced back and forth anxiously: "Didn't I protect that emperor with my father? As a result, the emperor insisted on climbing some mountain on the way. No, he was blocked by the eighteenth road against the king." , Yang Lin fooled me, saying that those people came to kill me and my father, and asked me to rush down the mountain with him to break through, and I agreed. I didn't expect to meet Brother Luo on the way, of course I couldn't beat Brother Luo, so I just He threw away his weapons and stopped fighting. Big brother Luo also said to let me go, but he didn’t allow me to reveal that there were rebels hiding on the mountain. They still wanted to kill the emperor, so of course I agreed. But as soon as I went down the mountain, I felt something was wrong. "Li Yuanba patted his thigh and said, "If I go back like this, the second brother will definitely not spare me, I lost my father! But I don't dare to go up the mountain rashly, I have promised Brother Luo. So, I will I waited for my father to come down at the foot of the mountain. I waited for two days, but I didn't wait for my father to come. Instead, I saw Brother Luo who was unconscious at the foot of the mountain. I shook him for a long time but he didn't wake up. "

"Why didn't you say something like this earlier!"

"Why are you yelling so loudly? Didn't I get disturbed by Brother Luo's coma?" Li Yuanba muttered, "If it weren't for the fact that Hedong County is so close, it would be inconvenient for me to drag Brother Luo, so I wouldn't come. I went directly to my second brother."

"Then why are you still here? Why don't you go back to your hometown in Jinyang to find your second brother? Get out, get out——with your big appetite, you want to make me poor in Hedong County."

"Third idiot, why are you so stingy! Why don't you just eat two more of your cornmeal steamed buns? You just poured brother Luo some thousand-year-old ginseng soup, and I haven't even drank my saliva yet."

"What water to drink? There's so much nonsense, seeing that you've swallowed several times, you've already quenched your thirst."

"I...I..." Li Yuanba stared round with a pair of tiger eyes, in a daze, obviously not Li Yuanji's opponent when it comes to eloquence.

"Okay, okay, tell Li An to prepare some dry food for you, go back to Li Shimin."

"You! You... Humph, I'm ignoring you." Li Yuanba pursed his lips aggrievedly, and with a wave of his hands, he really went to find Li An.

Li Yuanji looked at the back of Li Yuanba leaving, thoughtful, but when he turned around, he saw Luo Cheng sitting up with his hands on the mattress.

Seeing that he was awake, Li Yuanji was overjoyed, and hurried forward, not knowing where to put his hands, but felt too warm to support him, so he pretended not to care, turned his head and said, "Are you awake? What to eat? I have asked the kitchen to cook porridge for you, and the heat is just right now, and I have also made some easy-to-digest food, and I ordered someone to bring it in."

As soon as Li Yuanji clapped his hands, a servant girl came up with food immediately, her head was lowered, she just focused on serving the dishes, tremblingly, not daring to delay at all.

Li Yuanji hurried back and forth, pointing at this and pushing that, hoping to push them all in front of Luo Cheng.

Luo Cheng heard the two brothers talking, blinked and looked at a pile of delicious food in front of him, and said, "Call Li Yuanba here."

Li Yuanji immediately understood his intentions, thinking that since the moment he saw him unconscious, he was frightened first, then carried him into the wing room, found the best doctor to treat him, and took the time to order The kitchen prepares the freshest ingredients, and cooks him some delicious food in different ways, just in case he will be hungry after waking up. Fortunately, he cares about others as soon as he wakes up. Well, he said angrily, "What do you want him to do?"

"So much, I can't eat it, isn't he still hungry?"

Li Yuanji's face immediately became gloomy: "If he can't eat enough, I will eat it. Even if he eats hay, he can grow like a cow. Why are you worried about him?"

Luo Cheng wanted to refute, but just as he opened his mouth, he felt a severe tightness in his chest, so he had to cover his chest with one hand and support his body with the other.

"What's wrong? Is your chest uncomfortable?" Seeing his appearance, Li Yuanji immediately remembered what the doctor said, and secretly blamed himself for being so unbearable. He knew that he was depressed and worried too much, so he still told him Out of anger, he quickly compromised, "Okay, okay, I'll get someone to prepare lunch for that fool, but after eating, he has to go back to Jinyang."

"you--"

"Let that idiot go back and inform Erhu. He has many ideas. It's not a question of whether he can be saved. Eighteenth Road against the king... My Li family will not be that cannon fodder. As for the father, the person the rebels want to kill is Yang Guang, my father is smarter than our four brothers. When a disaster comes, he will weigh the pros and cons. Li Yuanji's words were not wrong, Li Yuan's scheming was obvious to all, otherwise, he would not have survived the repeated embarrassment of the late emperor and the emperor.

On weekdays, my father often shut up with Erhu in the study and whispered. Who knows what the two of them are plotting, even the eldest brother knows little.

With such an event today, maybe my father and the second fox had already prepared and had a plan, so it would be better to talk to Li Shimin, Li Yuanji thought so.

Luo Cheng remained silent, and didn't know if he listened or not. He held the spoon that Li Yuanji stuffed into his hand, but there was no movement.

After a short pause, he put down the spoon in his hand and raised his head to look at him.

Li Yuanji was taken aback: "What are you looking at me for? You haven't eaten for two days. Look, these are all your favorites." Li Yuanji said with a seldom smile on his face, "Li An said you I have a sweet tooth, I didn't know it before, but I know it now."

But after finishing speaking, he pretended to be serious and added: "But you are not in good health yet, so you can't eat so many sweets, it's okay to eat a little bit."

"Li Yuanji."

"kindness?"

"Can you lend me a horse?"

Li Yuanji's original good mood disappeared without a trace, the smile on his face faded away, and he said with a dark face: "Do you want to go back?"

Luo Cheng nodded.

"No, isn't there still an Eighteenth Route against the king in such desperate things? It's no use for you to stand out."

Luo Cheng twitched his thin lips and said, "Although the Sui army's reinforcements have arrived and the two sides are evenly matched, I'm not very worried. The Sui Dynasty is at the end of its strength, and there are many capable men and strangers among the rebels."

"Then what are you going back for?"

"I'm going to find Yuwen Chengdu." Luo Cheng closed his eyes, "He was knocked off the cliff by Pei Yuanqing, and his life and death are unknown." Li Yuanji was dumbfounded, and soon came to his senses. I was overjoyed, but didn't show it on the face: "The doctor said that you worry too much and get angry, is it because of this?"

"I'm fine." As soon as Luo Cheng finished speaking, he couldn't help coughing violently, obviously not convincing.

Without hesitation, Li Yuanji clasped his hands behind his back, turned his back, and resolutely refused, "I don't have any horses here."

Luo Cheng frowned, lifted the quilt, stepped on the ground with both feet, only felt top-heavy, finally stabilized his body, lifted his feet and was about to walk out the door, when a voice came from behind: "In my Hedong County, whoever dares Sell ​​your horse, and I will immediately put him in jail."

"you!"

"Anyone who dares to let you go out, next time I practice archery, I will use him as a living target, no matter male or female, young or old."

"Li Yuanji!"

Li Yuanji raised his eyebrows and said, "You know, I'm used to being an asshole, there's nothing I can't do. It's up to you to decide whether to walk out of this door or not."

Luo Cheng bit his lip and continued walking.

"Luo Cheng, aren't you afraid of implicating innocent people? Don't you pity those unarmed ordinary people the most?"

Luo Chengsheng said coldly: "If I don't have a horse, I'll go. I can't walk anymore. Even if I climb, I have to go back."

Li Yuanji strode forward and pulled his arm back. He never thought that he could not shake Luo Cheng's strength in the past, but at this moment, his thin body was being pulled by him. He was about to fall, and Li Yuanji let it go quickly. hand, stared straight into his eyes and said: "Look at your own body, can you still drive? The typhoid fever is just getting better, so don't die, right? What's good about Yuwencheng, is he Sui Jun, you are an anti-army, the two of you could never be together, so what if he likes you? His liking is worthless in my eyes, and it is impossible for him to resist Yang Guang for you. He is dead It's dead, and it's clean to die, so you don't have to worry about it."

"What did you say?"

After Li Yuanji vented, he realized that he had talked too much. It stands to reason that he should not know the relationship between Yu Wencheng and Luo Cheng.

Li Yuanji staggered his eyes, not daring to meet his gaze.

"How did you know, who told you?"

Li Yuanji said with a guilty conscience: "Last time you beat that idiot Yuanba, after he passed out drunk, he said it in your room. I didn't intend to eavesdrop. I wanted to visit you."

At this moment, Luo Cheng didn't have the heart to pursue Li Yuanji's eavesdropping or not. His mind was full of Li Yuanji's words now.It turned out that the most dull person was himself. Yu Wencheng had expressed his heart to himself long ago, but he hadn't noticed it all the time, and he still regarded him as a good brother.

Luo Cheng knew that he had a lot of thoughts, and as a person, when he discovered his thoughts, he must be very contradictory, that's why he didn't see anyone for several days and hid from himself.

Luo Cheng suddenly regretted why the grove didn't answer him directly. It's not that he didn't have feelings for him, but now, even if he wanted to tell the truth, there was no one he wanted to talk to.

Thinking of this, Luo Chengbei came from it. He wanted to see people when he lived, and he wanted to see corpses when he died. He would never give up no matter what.

Luo Cheng staggered and walked forward. His forehead was hot and his head was dizzy. It must have been caused by typhoid fever. As soon as he took two steps, he couldn't help reaching out to support the table. Beads of sweat Rolling down from his forehead, he was out of breath after just a few steps.

Li Yuanji frowned and looked at the pale Luo Cheng, and said negatively: "With your current body, if you can get out of this room, I won't stop you."

Luo Cheng looked up at him, and replied weakly: "Okay."

Seeing that he was so persistent, Li Yuanji gritted his teeth angrily. If he could take back the words he had said and the water he had spilled, would he still have face?

Every time Luo Cheng took a step, he wobbled, as if he had exhausted all his energy. Li Yuanji felt uncomfortable when he walked hard, and felt like a cat scratching his heart. Submissive, even if he wanted to help him, there was no excuse.

Seeing that Luo Cheng was walking slowly but was about to reach the door, Li Yuanji became even more impatient. Could it be possible to let him go?What a joke, with his appearance, what if he fainted on the road.

Just as Luo Cheng held his breath, put his whole body on his legs, and walked forward with his body propped up, when his right leg just crossed the threshold, there was a bang, and his whole body leaned forward. He hugged himself behind him.

"I said I won't stop you, but I didn't say I didn't let others stop you." Li Yuanji said to himself.

He picked up the person horizontally, and put him back on the bed. Then he turned around and looked at the person standing next to the door, and reprimanded him: "I said what's wrong with you? Who told you to hit me so hard? They all heard the echo."

Li An blinked aggrievedly, held the stick that stunned Luo Cheng and said: "Luo Shaobao is so powerful, am I afraid that I won't be able to knock him unconscious? If I attack again, it will be difficult for him to be prepared."

Li Yuanji gave him a disgusted look: "You think it's useful to hit hard? If he hadn't been sick and let down his vigilance, you would have succeeded so easily?"

Li An murmured in his heart, dare to love me, this is thankless work, it is not right to keep Luo Shaobao for you, it is not right not to keep Luo Shaobao for you.

"Third Young Master, I suddenly remembered something. Do you think Luo Shaobao saw clearly who beat him?"

"Why are you asking this?"

"I'm afraid that after Luo Shaobao recovers, he will know that I beat him and won't let him go, so beat me up."

"Beating you is better than beating me." Li Yuanji glanced at him, "Go back to the accountant and pay the medical fee first."

Li An had a bitter face. After following the third son for Mao, he was always paying for the consultation fee.

Let's not talk about how Li Yuanji tried to trap Luo Cheng so that he could recover from his injuries at the mansion, and let's say that Li Yuanba rushed all the way to Jinyang, and Li Shimin encountered a problem after explaining the whole story like this.

He and his father had discussed it, and now they are going ahead with the imperial decree, recruiting troops, recharging their energy, and turning against Yang Guang when the time is right.But right now, when Yuanba came back and said this, it stumped him. Is this against or not?To rescue or not to rescue?

Li Shimin asked his staff to close the door of the study, and after two days of discussion, they did not come up with a good or bad idea, but the time could not be delayed.

If you rebel now, don't forget, Dad is still in his hands; if you don't rebel, knowing that Yang Guang was besieged by the Eighteenth Route Rebel King, whether to send troops, whether to save him or not?If they are rescued, they will have to lose troops and generals, and become enemies with Wagang Village; if they pretend not to know it, and Yang Guang finds out about it afterwards, they will definitely not be able to spare the Li family.Rao is as shrewd as Li Shimin, he thought about it, but he didn't come up with a way.

The final decision was to send troops to rescue Jia first, regardless of whether Yang Guang could be rescued or not, at least the old man would be rescued.

Unexpectedly, before the Li family's army was deployed, Li Yuan actually returned home by himself!
