: Human Killing

In early spring, it was getting dark quickly. Not long after the sun set, the sky was completely dark.

Compared with the brightness in the morning, the Lingbo warship seemed dim and gloomy at this time. Several candles had been lit in the cabin, and the swaying candlelight was floating, pulling the shadows of the few people in the cabin to a length, illuminating the bulkhead.

On the couch in the cabin, Li Shimin was lying on the couch with his teeth gritted tightly. One left leg was wrapped around the bandage and was still clamped with a few wooden boards outside. After the doctor wrapped the bandage, he turned around and picked up the pen, picked up the pen on the paper and wrote a prescription. He then handed it to Li Yuan, who looked at his son with concern at the couch, "Tang King, the second young master's leg bone was shot by an arrow, and he had already bandaged and tied him in time. After a while, the Tang King could send someone to take the medicine according to this prescription and decoct the second young master. Remember to stay in bed and rest, and do not move. The bones and bones are damaged for a hundred days. The second young master's injury must be maintained for at least one or two years before he can go to the ground. Remember, remember."

Li Yuan looked at Li Shimin on the bed, opened his mouth, swallowed the words again, sighed, and said to his eldest son Jiancheng beside him, "Dalang, you send the doctor back for your father."

"Yes, father." Li Jiancheng stood up and sent the doctor off the boat.

"Doctor, can my second brother be cured?" Li Jiancheng asked softly before the doctor left the boat.

The doctor was gray and was also a military doctor. His best attitude was to wound the swords, guns and arrows on the battlefield. However, even if he was experienced, he sighed at this time, "The arrow in General Li was not an ordinary arrow. I have also looked at it carefully. It was the force shot from the strong iron-body bow, and the force was magnificent. What's more, the arrow was not an ordinary feather arrow in the army. It was a special larger gold arrow, with gold and iron all over the body, which was extremely heavy. Such an arrow was actually not much worse than a bed crossbow. If Mr. Li hadn't just stood behind the deer, if the arrow hit Mr. Li's leg directly, I'm afraid that the leg would have been shot into two pieces at that time. Although bandages are timely now, even if it is done, they will inevitably be disabled in the future. I hope the young master will be prepared in advance."

"You said Shimin's leg will become lame in the future?" Li Jiancheng exclaimed in disbelief when he heard this.

"It's very rare to be able to protect your legs, alas." After the doctor said that, he shook his head, got off the boat and left in a boat.

Li Jiancheng returned to the cabin in a daze. Although this second brother had always been a little unruly, he even said that he was still pressing on his eldest son in the mansion. But no matter what, the two of them closed the door and were still brothers of a mother and a compatriot. Shimin had already broken his arms and disfigured before, and he was about to lame his legs again. He felt extremely heavy in his heart. He didn't know how to tell him the result. He was really afraid that he would not be able to stand the blow and do something more impulsive.

If his personality had not changed drastically after his arm was cut off, and his impulse and violent change would have caused trouble today.

Back in the cabin, Li Yuan, Li Shimin and several uncles from the Li family all looked over.

"Is my leg a lame?" Li Shimin on the bed asked first when he saw that everyone was not talking.

Li Jianchengqiang smiled and said, "Shimin, you can rest assured and recover from your injuries. Don't think about it. I asked him when I sent the doctor back just now. The doctor is a famous doctor who specializes in treating disabled bones and bones. He has rich experience. He has cured much more serious injuries than Shimin. This time it is nothing. He promised that as long as he stays for half a year, he will definitely be able to walk as fast as he can."

"Brother, stop coaxing me. We brothers have grown up together. Every time you lie, you will shiver your eyes. When you just talked, it was the same again. I'm afraid my leg is already lame." Li Shimin smiled with a little self-deprecating smile, "Actually, I could have seen it when the doctor bandaged me just now. The doctor shook his head while bandaging it, and I already knew that this would be the result. But so what? Anyway, I had broken my arm and the ugly scar on my face, so I still had to go through it. Now that I'm a lame leg, it's nothing."

"Bang!" Li Yuan, who had been sitting in front of the bed silently, suddenly clenched his fist and smashed it hard on the side.

Li Yuan's eyes were filled with fire and he said angrily, "Chen Pojun bullies us too much! He is trying to kill us all and will not give us a way out."

"Did my father just see it?" Li Shimin smiled coldly, "As early as Zhongtiao Mountain, the child had advised his father that everyone in the world could believe it, but he could never believe Chen Pojun. When we treated him so well, he could leave us alone on the wedding night with his third sister. Such people have always been mean and merciless, so how could they remember the old love?"

"It was like this back then, let alone now. We had been resentful for many years, so how could we resolve it in one go? He contacted us just to take over the power of our Li family in Hedong. Now our Li family has just reached an alliance with him and has submitted to him the foreign manifesto. As soon as the messenger sent to Taiyuan, Shangdang and other places set off, Chen Pojun couldn't wait to attack the child today. Today he broke one of the legs of the child, and it would probably be the life of his father in the future. Father, we can't sit like this and wait for death."

Li Yuan sighed with a hammer with his hand, "I regret it. If my father had heard you, it would have been great if he hadn't come to Mengjin to join Chen Pojun. Now, we will fall into the trap and come to their door to slaughter them. Now we have to kill and cut them. We have nothing to do with them." While saying that, Li Yuan also took his eyes to look at the civil and military officials in the cabin.

Even if today's incident didn't happen, Li Yuan and Li Shimin and his son had already discussed it and wanted to join forces with Wei and Yan, and together with Chen Pojun, so that the situation in the Central Plains would change again, so as to save a troubled waters and win in chaos. However, only the father and son knew about that. Even Li Jiancheng had not told him. Now that Li Shimin had this incident, Li Yuan and his son happened to use this matter to arouse the worries of their subordinates and ministers, and let them all be in danger, so that they could continue to follow their father and son on the same boat.

Sure enough, the performance of Li Yuan and Li Shimin and his son immediately made the civil and military officials who had gradually become tempted to surrender to Hebei and felt a scent of blood coming to their faces. They were all Li Tang's confidants. If Chen Pojun really couldn't tolerate Li Yuan and his son, and had to get rid of them quickly, and his methods were so cruel, no one would be able to yearn for Hebei or Chen Pojun anymore. No one knew when such a fierce Chen Pojun would put the knife on their necks. After all, not long ago, the bloody battle of the aristocratic rule under Chen Pojun in Shandong, Huaibei and other Chen Pojun was still vivid in his mind, and no one wanted to do the next one.

Since they could not surrender to Chen Pojun, they could only continue to follow the broken ship of Li Yuan and his son. Although Li Tang's ship had been damaged and watered, it had not completely sunk after all.

"Man killed me, I am fish. King Tang, now we are under the control of Chen Pojun, so what can we do?" Chen Shuda, the general's mansion, said worriedly.

Chen Shuda said that it was actually Chen Pojun's uncle. When the Chen State was destroyed, he was only over ten years old, but he had already been king. Later, after entering the Sui Dynasty, he was quite famous for his literary reputation and was released as an official after becoming an adult. He had an old age. When Chen Pojun fled to the Eastern Capital, Chen Shuda was the prefect of Jiang County in Hedong. He was originally involved and was exempted by Li Yuan's efforts to protect him. Later, Li Yuan won the battle in Taiyuan. Chen Shuda returned to Li Yuan with Jiang County, which was deeply trusted by him and held his secret matters with Wen Daya.

For Chen Shuda, although he is brother and Chen Shen, who is now an emperor in Jiangnan, he actually has little feelings for him. Although he is an uncle and nephew with Chen Pojun, Chen Pojun almost implicated him to death. Moreover, the uncle and nephew have never had any interaction, not to mention that Chen Shuda's eldest son even married a daughter of Li Yuan, and the two families were in-laws. Therefore, Li Yuan trusted him very much and did not have any distantness because of his relationship with Chen Pojun.

Pei Ji was silent. In fact, since Li Yuan defeated Longmen, several other branches of the Pei clan in Hedong had surrendered to Yang Hung. He even received a secret letter from his clan members on behalf of Yang Hung. The letter mentioned that as long as he could surrender to Yang Hung, Yang Hung would be willing to be the third-rank Shangshu position as the tiger position and the empty position. However, Pei Ji was not optimistic about Yang Hung. He used to be optimistic about Li Yuan, thinking that Li Yuan was born into a noble family in Guanlong and had been in Hedong for a long time and was deeply supported by the Hedong clan. Moreover, Li Yuan planned for others and kept a low profile, and was actually a hero. But things in the world were unpredictable. Li Yuan was defeated so quickly, which was something he had never expected.

This time when he arrived in Mengjin and saw Chen Kefu, he had a new view on the general trend of the world. Compared with Li Yuan and Yang Ming, he found that Chen Pojun, a warlord soldier who had not paid much attention to in the past, was the one with the most bargaining chips in his hand.

Whether to continue to follow Li Yuan, who is now uncertain, or to choose Yang Ming or Chen Pojun, is the question he has been thinking about these days. As a person from a clan, although he has had many years of friendship with Li Yuan, he is very clear about which one is more important than the family inheritance.

Originally, he had gradually tended to submit to Chen Pojun's Hebei court, but now, the situation of Li Yuan and his son had to remind him that although Chen Pojun is powerful now, Hebei is definitely not the paradise for the powerful people of the aristocratic race. Now, where have the ten counties under Chen Pojun ruled by Chen Pojun? Most of them have become ghosts under the sword.

He suddenly woke up in his heart, and Pei Ji sighed. Although Hebei is good, it is not my paradise after all.

If Hebei cannot go, Yang Ming from Jianghan had nothing to think about and put away his chaotic thoughts. Pei Ji bowed and said to Li Yuan, "King of Tang, although Hebei is strong, it is only strong that Chen Pojun. If Chen Pojun dies, then all this will be over."
