Chapter 065 One Arrow 2
I won't let you die. I want you to live well.
This is also what I want to promise you.
Li Shimin carefully supported my body, laid me on his lap, and his eyes wandered: "For more than ten days, I have tried to forget. I finally understand that I should not hesitate and be indecisive. There is desperate in the world. You can hate me or blame me. I will never think about it so much from now on! Fortunately, God gave me another chance..." He slowly turned his eyes to the arrow and couldn't help complaining, "But I almost destroyed it with my own hands!"
I pulled a pale smile and whispered, "Your Highness, I am satisfied with your words. The slave can live until now because of the protection of His Highness everywhere, this life has not been his own for a long time. Now, it's worth it for Your Highness to untie the knot. It doesn't matter whether God let the maidservant continue to live. I just hope that Your Highness will not lose peace of mind because of this. He will continue to fight against bandits, protect his family and country, and continue his brotherhood. I tried to reach out to pull his sleeve. Li Shimin quickly took my hand and listened to me carefully. "Your Highness, brotherhood must be repaired. This can make you walk like water, and it can also make you hate it early!"
Li Shimin's eyes sank and said, "I know. I will definitely fall in love with my eldest brother again this time!" But what I said was more than that. I wish I could be frank and hold his hand tightly and say it, but he pulled out his hand and began to untie my armor: "Now don't talk anymore. Everything has me. Don't move around, or this arrow will hurt more deeply."
He took off my helmet, sprinkled the green silk and drooped from his knee. In July, it was sultry, and there was only one inner shirt in the armor. When I unbuttoned the last two buttons, I pressed his hand uneasily. When the military doctor wanted to undress and pull out the arrow, Li Shimin should have thought of this, so he was not allowed to draw arrows for me, and at the same time, he just hid my identity. But after all, I didn't undress in front of the man. At this time, I looked at the warm yellow tent and became ambiguous. Although it was a matter of life and death, I couldn't help but feel ashamed.
Li Shimin saw my concerns and was gentle with infinite firmness: "I will be responsible, and you must also be strong."
Strength... If I can continue to live, does it mean that I can accompany him without hesitation? This seems to be good! I nodded and asked, "Your Highness, I just saw you tremble on the high platform. Are you careless?"
The arrow entered only a little away from the heart, and Li Shimin's archery was excellent. At that time, if he hadn't trembled and moved the arrow a little, I'm afraid I would have already pierced my heart with an arrow.
Li Shimin shook his head and said, "Because I heard your call, but I still couldn't stop the arrow flying out. I thought I had a hallucination, but when the soldier presented the jade pendant, I could no longer suppress my ecstasy, and at the same time, I was extremely regretful.
"So it is." I smiled and said, "It's really not right to call Your Highness's name. I thank Your Highness first and don't blame you." Li Shimin hugged me slightly, took a small scarf and rolled it into a circle and put it on my lips: "What's the responsibility? After that, you can also call my name. Well, this arrow will hurt a little. You have to hold back before you call me like this later.
I was silent, opened my mouth and bit the scarf, closed my eyes nervously and waited for him to draw arrows with his own hands. But I thought to myself that I had always called him "Your Highness" and never called him that name. If a person who never calls me by name suddenly calls me by name, I can't quickly realize who it is. How can he recognize me in an instant? This only shows that he is born with the ability to know people, or for another reason. No, what Li Yuanji once said really exists?
Li Shimin has cut off my armor at the wound. I dare not look at the place where the arrow was injured. It must be so painful that it will only make me more afraid. The warm fingers surrounded the wound with white strips, and the slight touch made me unable to speak, so I had to bite the scarf on my mouth tightly. His men pulled the robe on his knees and endured bursts of sweat on his forehead. Two pieces of gentleness touched my forehead. Li Shimin whispered gently and distressed: "Think about what I can do with you in the future. Be strong, nothing can happen!"
I locked my eyebrows deeply and nodded fixedly. Will I be separated from you in the future? There was a sharp pain of meat grinding in my chest. I frowned and clenched my eyes and bit the scarf under my mouth, but I still couldn't help scratching Li Shimin's knee under my body. There was a slight sound of flesh and blood. I clearly felt the rapid withdrawal of the long arrow in my chest and scratching the skin. I want to be white-headed with him, and I don't want to be separated from him again!
Only an arrow sounded on the ground, and the wound on the chest was immediately covered with thick gauze, and Li Shimin's nervous cry came to his ear. I didn't dare to breathe. I gently opened my mouth to breathe. I opened my eyes slightly and saw a bloody arrow slanting on the ground, which was not shivering. Slowly moved my eyes and met Li Shimin's worried eyes. I pulled a smile and said helplessly, "I'm fine."
As if immersed in his eyes, he felt that his body was constantly sinking, and the people in front of him became blurred, and finally fell into darkness and struggled endlessly. I could still hear someone's call in my ear, but I couldn't grasp the momentary consciousness to listen carefully to what he said.
I slept deeply, but it was the most reassuring in a few days. This may be the word "blessed by misfortune". If I hadn't been framed for murdering the little son, I wouldn't have faked to die; if it hadn't been for faked death, Li Shimin would not have completely lost his inner contradictions and indecision to me; if it hadn't been for Li Yuanji, I wouldn't have been alive; if it hadn't been for Li Shimin's almost fatal arrow, I wouldn't have heard his monologue.
Thinking about what Li Shimin said to me, I couldn't wait to wake up immediately, but I could only struggle little by little and regain consciousness little by little. Finally, I gradually woke up from the darkness. I vaguely heard someone asking for see. When I opened my eyes in confusion, a figure stood up from the couch and lifted the curtain out.
Consciousness finally woke up. I recognized that the figure who left was Li Shimin. Has he always been by my side? A shallow smile appeared on his face. The pain came from my chest. I reached out and touched it. Layers of cloth were tied to the wound, and the inner shirt was also changed intact. Could it be... I was stunned, and it turned out to be hot on my face again.
There was a dialogue outside the tent. I listened to the voice and recalled that in addition to Li Shimin, there should be another person who should be Changsun Wuji.
"Your Highness, the march has been suspended for a day, and the soldiers do not know why, and they are suspicious. In order to protect His Highness's prestige, the army will not disperse, and the last general implores His Highness to start immediately!" After Changsun Wuji said a word, the echo of several other soldiers suddenly came.
Li Shimin outside the account was speechless. I knew that he stopped the march because of my injury. This time, the soldiers came to invite him to start. If he doesn't agree, I'm afraid he will really lose his prestige and disperse his military heart, which is not in line with Li Yuanji's intention! I once thought that I could reject his trick if I didn't die, but Li Yuanji's trick was so deep that no matter how he turned around, he couldn't get around.
I can't help worrying about how many ways Li Yuanji has thought of so that we can achieve the purpose he wants no matter where we go. This time, it's really unpreventable!
At this time, Changsun Wuji said, "I heard that Your Highness rescued a soldier yesterday. Do you dare to ask if it has anything to do with him?"
Changsun Wuji's question should not be known. He must be full of doubts about me, a soldier who broke into the army at night. Coincidentally, Li Shimin did not march today, and naturally thought that it had something to do with me. I can't help worrying about Li Shimin. It is strange to suspend the march for an injured soldier. Moreover, there can be no woman in the army. If my identity is exposed, Li Shimin will definitely suffer two crimes. First, he violates the military law and steals a woman; second: he is appointed for selfish abandonment and has no virtue!
They all blame me for being too impulsive. I just want to beware of Li Yuanji by his side and don't want to push him into Li Yuanji's conspiracy faster. When he was extremely regretful, he heard Li Shimin calmly ask, "What is the purpose of asking for the thief this time?"
Changsun Wuji said, "Regine the world, security peace."
Li Shimin asked, "How can you make the people return to your heart after asking for the thief?"
Changsun Wuji said, "With human kindness and justice, this is the love of the Tang Dynasty to the people!"
Li Shimin raised his voice and asked, "When the king of Japan came out of the palace to observe the people's conditions, this person sacrificed his life to save him and never gave up. May I ask, now that he is seriously injured, if I look on coldly, should I still be the commander-in-chief of this army? Where did the thief and the people come from? Or do you want me to have a fake name?"
The generals and soldiers were shocked and couldn't answer. Finally, Changsun Wuji said, "So it is!" The last general did not have the intention to observe His Highness. The greatest kindness is that only in this way can eliminate violence and peace. It is the last generals who misunderstood Your Highness. But please estimate that it is difficult for the military to break up. The last general suggested to send this person back to Chang'an to recover from his injuries, so that the army can leave as soon as possible!"
