Chapter 563 Late, Your Highness!
~Date: ~October 27th~
(I came back this afternoon if I had something to do. When I opened the web page, I saw that everyone was concerned about me. I was really moved. I really had so many monthly tickets, so many rewards, and so many heartwarming words. My nose immediately became sore. A thirty-year-old man really wanted to cry... that was not embarrassing! Thank you, I went down to continue to write, thank you for your monthly tickets and rewards, and thank you for your support! I read every book review, and my heart was warm!)
Chapter 563 It’s too late to your Highness!
The tea cup on the table was steaming out. Because the window was closed, there was no wind in the room. The heat was rising and drilling into the nostrils. Even if the tea was not drunk, it would intoxicate people. But the person sitting next to the table had no intoxication expression. His fingers beat the table rhythmically, and the sound made was like the sound of a war drum stepping out from the four hooves of a war horse.
The weather was getting colder, and the young man sitting by the table put on a big cloak with a marten collar early on, so his already fair face looked even whiter, and it was a bit white like he hadn't sunbathed in a dark corner for a long time. It was a kind of sick white, unlike the white that was full of elasticity and luster of women. This kind of whiteness brought some yin energy that made people remember, especially the chill in his eyes.
"Uncle Changsun"
The young man who was hitting the table was Li Shimin. He stopped his hands and asked with a smile: "It seems that this is the sixth time that Uncle Changsun has gone to war with me?"
Changsun Shunde, who was sitting not far away, trembling slightly, and some kind smiles squeezed out from his wrinkled face. He was actually not very old. Perhaps he had done too much trouble over the years, so he seemed far older than his peers. His temples had been covered with frost and snow, and the wrinkles on his forehead were like those gullies on the Loess Plateau.
"Your Highness, I dare not."
He quickly stood up and leaned over, and said with his head down.
"Don't dare?"
Li Shimin repeated it and then smiled more meaningfully: "Uncle Changsun, although Gu is not like Big Brother and Xuan Ba Yuanji, he did not grow up next to his father, nor did he play on your lap when he was a child. But you know that since Gu returned to Taiyuan from the old house in Longxi, you will never respect Uncle Changsun less than Big Brother and others, and you seem to take special care of Gu. Gu still remembers the first day in Taiyuan, when you took Gu's hand and walked around the Li family's yard."
"Although Gu grew up in Longxi since he was young, his father taught him a lot. Gu still remembers that when Gu was nine years old, when Gu returned to his old house in Longxi, he told Gu that the people of the Li family who passed on their poetry and books are the most important thing about ethics, ethics, and the order of the elders and young people. You have always been in the Li family, just like a family member. Gu really treats you as an elder, so why don't you dare to accept it when you call you uncle? You never refused to call you like this."
Changsun Shunde opened his mouth, but he was bitter and didn't know what to say. Li Shimin didn't give him a chance to say anything. When Changsun Shunde was still a little embarrassed, he suddenly raised his voice and said, "If a person dares not do anything, he must be afraid of something. But if he doesn't feel guilty, he doesn't have to be afraid of anything. Uncle Changsun, what are you afraid of?"
"minister......"
Changsun Shunde suddenly sighed, straightened up and said in a solemn tone: "To say something offensive to Tianwei, do your best to be a minister. All you do is what Your Majesty needs me to do. I have never had any thoughts at all, so I have a clear conscience in my heart, even Your Majesty is not afraid of."
"oh?"
Li Shimin's eyes lit up suddenly, and then he asked with a smile: "Since that's the case, why should Uncle Changsun say he didn't dare?"
"I said I dare not. In fact, there is an answer in your words just now. Your Majesty once told you that you should talk about ethical hierarchy. In the past, I dared to call you uncle because you were not your highness at that time. But now it is different. Your Majesty is already the co-lord of the world. How can I still do things without hierarchy? You are the lord, so I dare not."
"It's interesting."
Li Shimin asked with a smile: "But I heard that my elder brother has never changed his name to you. Why? My elder brother asked you Uncle Changsun to make it, but I can't make it?"
"Your Highness the Crown Prince is the future king. If you have a destiny, your ministers dare not refuse to obey."
Changsun Shunde replied in a humble tone but not humbly.
"So that's the case, because the eldest brother is the prince, and the Lone is just a king."
Li Shimin's smile gradually became colder. He stood up and walked to Changsun Shunde. Looking at the old and sad face, he asked word by word: "Just just because I am a king, Uncle Changsun wants to abandon me?"
"Why did your Highness say this?"
Changsun Shunde bowed his head again and said, "I am afraid."
"You are not afraid!"
Li Shimin said angrily: "If you are afraid, you would not do such a thing! How about Lone to you? Treat you as your heart and obey your words, but what about you, as soon as Chen Yinshou died, you immediately post to the eldest brother. Is the rice on the prince's side fragrant, tea on the tea on the side fragrant, and even the farts fragrant?"
"Where is the prince?"
Changsun Shunde suddenly raised his head and asked, "I have been by Your Majesty's side, in the Tang Dynasty. So I can't understand what Your Highness means. Of course, I didn't remember it, and I will forget it if I go out."
"You threaten me?"
Li Shimin sneered and asked, "Ju said half of what he said just now. My father told me that the people of the Li family should talk about the elders and the inferiority of their elders. If the father gave me, I can't help but not even think about what the father didn't give me."
He looked at Changsun Shunde and said coldly: "But the father now has the intention to give him to the orb... Even if the father never thought about giving him to the orb, since Gu was born in the imperial family, he always had to fight. You ran to the eldest brother's side because he was the prince. You said just now that the prince is the king of the future, but are you sure about the future?"
"Gu hates people who do things wrong the most and don't think they are wrong. For such people, Gu always has to teach them some lessons."
Changsun Shunde raised his head suddenly, looked into Li Shimin's eyes and said, "Your Highness dare not!"
"Don't dare?"
Li Shimin laughed to the sky, laughing happily: "Since Gu said so clearly to you today, what else can I dare not? Some words are not something that anyone can listen to casually."
......
......
Changsun Wuji wiped sweat from his forehead and looked down at his fingers that had been strangled with blood. There were only two feather arrows left in the quiver bell, but the people besieged outside showed no sign of retreating. Most of the more than 100 guards around him had been killed or injured, but the losses outside were not very large.
With the strong dark night, the well-trained soldiers outside the courtyard kept approaching the courtyard gate. Their cooperation was extremely skillful, with five people in groups and several groups covering and supporting each other. Moreover, their hard bows and crossbows were all equipped, and their combat capabilities were actually stronger than those of the soldiers under Changsun Wuji.
"Do you want to extinguish the torches in the yard?"
Changsun Hao asked hurriedly.
The people outside were in the dark, effectively hiding their bodies. They suddenly attacked the gate of the courtyard, and then came from a wall to kill them. While there was a torch in the courtyard, Changsun Wuji's people were in the bright spot.
"Can't be destroyed!"
Changsun Yong interrupted him: "The enemy can hide in the night, but we can't. Once the torches in the yard are extinguished, we can't see the enemy when they come in from outside!"
"What should I do?"
Changsun Hao said angrily: "If we are so passive and be beaten, our people won't last long!"
"You have to persist even if you can't hold on!"
Changsun Wuji tore off a corner of his clothes and wrapped his fingers, took the quiver that his personal soldiers handed over and said, "As long as you persist until dawn, no matter how powerful the enemy you can see is, the people in your face are more anxious than us. After the night retreats, their advantage will be gone! If there is no cover for the night, how many arrows in our hands will be lost?"
"But our arrow may not last until dawn!"
"Then demolish the house and use stones!"
Changsun Wuji gritted his teeth and said, then leaned out of the wall again to aim at the enemy. However, he was obviously too lucky, so he stood up. An armor-breaking cone flew over and shot on his shoulder. The armor-breaking cone was extremely strong, and the arrows drilled in from the shoulder hole and came out from the back. He shook his body violently, and he fell down from the table he was stepping on, and threw it on the cold and hard bluestone floor with a thump.
Changsun Wuji, who landed on the ground, subconsciously yelled: "Don't shout!"
Changsun Hao and others were frightened, but they understood what Changsun Wuji meant at the first time. They jumped off the table and quickly helped Changsun Wuji up. Changsun Wuji grinned in pain, and said with a hoarse voice: "Help me up, don't let the soldiers see that I was injured."
Changsun Hao's nose felt sour, and he helped Changsun Wuji climb onto the table again.
"Young Master, bear with it!"
Changsun Yong lowered his voice and said, then held the arrow shaft with one hand and slashed the feather arrow exposed outside with one knife. Changsun Wuji trembled in pain and scolded: "Who is the fucking arrow so erratic!"
Changsun Liuqi, who was standing at the door of the house, kept looking at Changsun Wuji. He was startled when he saw him falling. He subconsciously rushed out but was pulled by Changsun Wuji. Changsun Wuji, who had tears in his eyes, slowly shook his head: "Don't go..."
Changsun Liuqi smashed the wall with red eyes and punched his eyes, and his eyes turned red. It was not the first time he went to the battlefield, so he naturally knew what Changsun Wugui meant. The soldiers would rely entirely on one breath. Once Changsun Wuji could not support him and retreated, the morale of the soldiers would immediately collapse. Now the morale was as thin as a layer of paper. Once the desire to resist was lost, the people outside would immediately pour in like a wolf, tearing everyone in the yard to pieces.
“Let the torch more!”
Changsun Wugui suddenly said hurriedly: "The more you want, tear your clothes, light a torch and throw it out, and throw it as far as you can! There is wood in this yard. When the fire starts, throw all the burning wood out!"
Changsun Liuqi's eyes lit up, and he responded and quickly called someone to light the fire.
...
...
"Your Highness dare not!"
Changsun Shunde roared with anger that could not be suppressed.
"Don't dare?"
Li Shimin smiled, walked back to the chair and sat down, and said in a plain voice: "Uncle Changsun, do you say I dare not? You are the chief of the army. I guess Gu transferred two regiments of the Tiger Camp's personal guards to go out and hide them from you. Of course, Gu did not intend to hide them from you. But do you know, where did Gu transfer the Tiger Camp's personal guards of the Tiger Camp of the two regiments go?"
Li Shimin pointed northward and said with a smile: "The auxiliary machine has just crossed the Yellow River. Do you know, it is close to Wang Shichong's territory. Who knows if there will be any refugees and bandits? What danger will the auxiliary machine encounter? If he dies at the hands of the bandits, wouldn't it be unfair? Therefore, Gu transferred two guards from the regiment to pick up the auxiliary machine."
"you!"
Changsun Shunde's eyes suddenly widened, and his face turned pale in an instant: "You are confused!"
"Silent?"
Li Shimin was stunned, and then his face changed: "You make it clear!"
"I have been approaching you, why did I suddenly lean towards the prince? I have reminded you again and again, everything I did is for Your Majesty, why don't you understand? If you don't have the intention of Your Majesty, how could I get closer and closer to the prince! You... your heart is too poisonous, Li Shimin! If you can become the marshal of this Eastern Expedition, the reason why I will go there is because of Your Majesty's intention. Don't you understand Your Majesty's actions?!"
"His Majesty?"
Li Shimin was shocked and suddenly woke up.
Your Majesty asked me to be a marshal to make my elder brother feel urgent. But Your Majesty didn't want me to be too strong, so he sent Changsun Shunde to his elder brother! After all, he was still for his elder brother!
"Hurry up, send someone to transfer the Tiger Camp back!"
Li Shimin shouted anxiously.
"It's too late... Your Highness"
Li Jing shook his head, his face turned a little pale.
