Chapter 230 The real reason
Several people entered the big tent and sat down separately among the guests of honor.
Li Shimin asked: "I wonder what the important matter is for Fangxian Lieutenant to come here this time?"
"Of course I'm here to seek refuge with you." Wang Yu interrupted. It's so obvious. Do you still need to ask?
Li Shimin resisted the urge to hit her and glared at her without leaving any trace.
Unexpectedly, Wang Yu's eyes never met his. Her eyes were always on Fang Xuanling.
Fang Xuanling felt uneasy, so she forced a smile and said: "This young gentleman..."
"Call me Xiao Yu'er."
Facing Wang Yu with a charming smile, Fang Xuanling changed her mind unconsciously: "...Xiao Yu'er is right. Fang heard that Li Erlang was benevolent and tolerant and treated soldiers and civilians like brothers, so he wanted to come and seek refuge with him.
"If Li Erlang doesn't mind that Fang is just a small Xicheng county captain, Fang is willing to do his best."
"I don't dislike it, I don't dislike it." Wang Yu smiled and shook his head.
"Xiao Yu'er!"
After interrupting twice, Li Shimin couldn't bear it anymore and scolded him.
Wang Yu turned his head and smiled flatteringly at Li Shimin, made a gesture to seal his mouth, and then sat down obediently.
Fang Xuanling saw that Li Shimin just laughed it off in the end, guessing that this handsome young man must be Li Shimin's sibling, otherwise Li Shimin would never indulge her like this.
Li Shimin put on a friendly smile and said to Fang Xuanling: "Li is very happy that Fangxian Lieutenant can come. I wonder what Fangxian Lieutenant is good at?"
Wang Yu was about to move and speak, but when he saw Li Shimin's eyes turning sideways, he quickly shut up and sat down.
Fang Xuanling stood up with a very humble attitude: "Fang is not talented. He has a brief knowledge of Confucian classics and history, and he also has some experience in calligraphy."
People who are often said to be knowledgeable are actually people with a lot of background.
Li Shimin became interested: "I wonder if Fangxian Lieutenant could compose an impromptu poem?"
Hearing this, Wang Yu took the initiative to get pen, ink, paper and inkstone, which made Li Shimin look at her twice more.
Fang Xuanling walked behind the desk, picked up the pen and started writing, without hesitation or pause, just with one stroke.
Seeing his cool movements, Li Shimin already appreciated it more.
When I walked over and saw his calligraphy, my eyes suddenly lit up: "The writing is strong and strong, the finishing force is decisive, the style is majestic, not limited to one style, and the calligraphy is good."
After reading the poem again, he couldn't help but praise: "Good poem, good poem, Fang County Wei is a great talent."
After hearing such high praise, Fang Xuanling's expression was not arrogant, but still gentle, neither humble nor overbearing.
He was indeed a model of virtuous ministers, and Wang Yu secretly admired him in his heart.
"If Fangxian Lieutenant doesn't mind, how about joining my army as a reporter first?" Li Shimin closed the paper and asked with a smile.
Fang Xuanling crossed his hands and saluted: "Thank you so much, Lord Qin."
Another member was added to the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion. Wang Yu excitedly ordered Li Shimin's bodyguard: "Go to the kitchen and give instructions to cook more dishes for noon today."
Li Shimin looked over again, this little girl is very happy today.
------
Li Shimin was also very happy about the new talent. He introduced Fang Xuanling to the generals, and then everyone gathered together for lunch.
Just after lunch, when everyone was about to disperse, the envoy from Chang'an arrived.
"Dong Guo of Qin, Qin Emperor Xue Ju sent Crown Prince Xue Rengao to besiege Fufeng, aiming at Guanzhong. The King of Tang ordered you to go to Fufeng immediately to conquer Xue Ju."
Everyone's expressions changed drastically.
Li Shimin glanced at everyone and immediately ordered: "Changsun Shunde, Liu Hongji, and Li Jing, you stay and continue to attack Hedong City. Half of the Xuanjia Army will be left for you.
"I will take ten thousand people with me and leave the rest with you."
"Shubao, Xuanling, Xiao Yu'er, you follow me."
Wang Yu said, "No, I want to stay here."
Li Shimin sternly said: "Now is not the time for you to fool around. Only if you stay with me can I feel at ease."
"I've been feeling weak lately, so I shouldn't travel long distances." Wang Yu looked weak and his tone was a little vain.
Li Shimin: "..."
"Come here, ask the military doctor to come over."
Wang Yu sat down and looked at Li Shimin with a faint look: "The military situation is urgent, won't my second brother set off immediately?"
Li Shimin told Qin Shubao: "Shubao, you go and organize the army. In half an hour, the army will set off."
"The rest of the people, just go and do what you have to do."
In the blink of an eye, only Li Shimin and Wang Yu were left in the tent.
Wang Yu was now not only physically weak, but also mentally weak.
"Ahem..." Wang Yu coughed and tried to ease the embarrassment: "Well, I'm really not feeling well. Think about me as a six-year-old child.
"Oh, I'm seven years old, but I'm still a kid and can't stand traveling long distances..."
"Didn't you always like to follow me before? This time you followed me secretly to Hedong." Li Shimin stared at Wang Yu closely.
"Ah..." Wang Yu was a little confused, why did he suddenly say this?
"Well...I just feel bored and like running around."
Li Shimin followed her words: "You should be tired of staying in Hedong for more than ten days. Don't you want to go to Fufeng with me?"
"I don't want to." Wang Yu shook his head: "I just want to stay in Hedong and see how Qu Tutong surrenders."
Li Shimin: "..."
At this time, the military doctor came.
"Check Xiao Yu'er's pulse to see if her cold is gone?" After Li Shimin finished speaking, he poured a cup of hot tea leisurely and drank slowly.
Wang Yu was a little depressed because he knew her coldness was fake, but still said that. He stretched out his hand and winked at the military doctor desperately.
The military doctor looked puzzled: "Xiao Yu'er, what's wrong with your eyes?"
When Wang Yu saw Li Shimin looking over, he quickly sat up and coughed, "...it's okay, my eyes just cramped."
"Oh." The military doctor continued to check Wang Yu's pulse.
Wang Yu quietly went to see Li Shimin and saw that he was holding a teacup and drinking tea attentively, not paying attention here.
She quickly pulled off the pouch from her waist and stuffed it into the arms of the military doctor.
Military doctor: "..."
Seeing Li Shimin's face turning around, Wang Yu, who had no time to stop, immediately put her right hand on the arm of the military doctor who was checking her pulse, and said with profound meaning: "Doctor, I feel very tired these days, and I don't even want to walk.
After leaving, I just want to sleep."
Li Shimin's eyes lingered on the slightly disheveled chest of the military doctor for a few more times, and he said: "Just in time, you come with me to Fufeng. You ride with me on the way, and I will take care of you."
"If you don't want to walk, I'll ask someone to carry you."
Wang Yu: "..."
She secretly exerted force with her right hand: "Doctor, how are you doing? Is my body very weak? Am I not suitable for riding horses?"
"Um..." The military doctor looked at Li Shimin and then at Wang Yu.
Feeling the hard object in her arms, she thought of Wang Yu's quirkiness. If he didn't get what she wanted, she didn't know what weird ideas she would come up with to torment him...
The military doctor took back his hand and said respectfully to Li Shimin: "To the Duke of Qin, Xiao Yu'er's body is indeed a little weak, but there is no problem in riding a horse..."
Wang Yu's eyes widened and he didn't want to help her?
"It's just that it's okay to ride for two or three miles. If the journey is longer, I'm afraid my body won't be able to bear it."
Wang Yu had no expression on his face, but he was secretly happy in his heart. He was indeed a good person.
After hearing this, Li Shimin was silent for a moment, "Since the military doctor said so, then you should stay in Hedong and take good care of yourself."
Then he said to the military doctor: "Go down first and wait for me outside the tent."
The military doctor carried the medicine box and left anxiously.
Li Shimin looked at Wang Yu and suddenly asked an irrelevant question: "How do you know Fang Xuanling is a talent?"
Wang Yu's heart skipped a beat, but his expression remained unchanged, "We are both from Shandong. I, Aye, have mentioned him to me."
Li Shimin seemed to believe her, saying "Take care of yourself, I'll come back to pick you up" and left the tent.
Arriving outside the tent, Li Shimin looked at the military doctor silently.
The military doctor took the initiative to offer the pouch in his arms: "Qin Guogong, this is what little Yu'er gave me just now. Her body is indeed a little weak, and it is still a problem caused by the fetus.
"But running a long distance is no problem."
After all, this is how she came to Hedong from Chang'an.
Li Shimin said calmly: "Take what she gave you, prepare some medicinal food, and give her a good health."
The medic retreated.
Li Shimin then ordered his guards: "You guys go to the big tent to pack your things, and you two stay to protect little Yu'er.
