Hu Baozong’s physical fitness was too good and he recovered too quickly, so it was a little late to remove the stitches.
Most of the silk threads had grown into the flesh, and less than half had begun to become inflamed, so Li Chengzhi had no choice but to pull them out.
He pulled one out, and Hu Baozong bared his teeth, pulled out another one, and bared his teeth again.
"Does it really hurt that much?"
Li Chengzhi was in a daze.
He remembered that when Hu Baozong's intestines came out, he could still talk and laugh with him.
"Is this a question of whether it hurts or not?" Hu Baozong said with sweat on his forehead, "I have never heard of sewing flesh with needle and thread..."
Li Chengzhi suddenly realized.
It turned out to be scary.
Only then did he remember that when he got the stitches, Hu Baozong was still unconscious, but Li Song and Hu Xin who were around him probably had the same look on his face at this time.
"You're not afraid of death, why are you afraid of this?" Li Chengzhi sneered, threw the last thread on the plate, and assigned a doctor to give him medicine.
"How?" Hu Baozong asked worriedly.
"It should be okay to get out of bed and walk, but you can't run, let alone ride a horse!" Li Chengzhi warned.
Is that great?
Hu Baozong was overjoyed and said gratefully: "I owe you a life!"
Li Chengzhi sneered: "More than just one life, do you owe more?"
While the two were talking, a muscular man wearing armor walked in.
The one who came was Li Feng, Li Shixian's personal soldier in his early years. He usually stayed in Xizhuang to help Li Bai.
During the war, he was the deputy of Li's infantry team C (a team of one hundred people), and the team leader was still Li Bai.
Li Song took Ding Zhuang of the Song family to the monk's village at the foot of Kongtong Mountain, and Li Bai moved the households in Lijiabao. Li Song sent Li Feng to lead two Shijia soldiers to protect Li Chengzhi, and he also listened to them.
Originally, this job should have been done by Li Zhang and Li Xian, otherwise they would not have been allowed to fight from childhood to adulthood, but Li Song always felt that the two sons were not very smart and could not adapt to Lang Jun's rhythm.
Let’s talk about it after two years of experience...
Li Feng clasped his fists: "Lang Jun, the elder of the Song family wants to see you!"
Li Chengzhi raised his eyebrows.
Haha, the troublemaker is here...
By now, Li Song might have tied up all the more than 400 members of the Song family, right?
Let me see how you are making trouble?
"Let them in!" Li Chengzhi said while wiping his hands.
Three people came in, two of them were the same old villagers, and there was a young man in his early twenties.
Although he is wearing coarse linen clothes, his appearance is very upright and his demeanor is very calm. He looks a bit like a pampered young man from aristocratic family.
Who is this?
While Li Chengzhi was wondering, the three of them knelt down in front of him, put their hands to their foreheads, and bowed down.
"Forgive me, Mr. Lang!"
Li Chengzhi was a little confused.
This is "knocking". In this era, it was only used during major court ceremonies or sacrifices. Normally, ministers would not bow like this when meeting the emperor.
It's completely different for Li Song to kneel to him without hesitation in peacetime. It's just a slightly heavier etiquette than bowing, and it's very common in the military.
It also has a lot to do with the fact that there were no chairs in this era and you could only sit on your knees.
What is the purpose of these three Song clan members giving such a big gift to themselves for no reason?
Head start?
First, you bow down and act small to show your surrender, and then tell yourself that you can’t harvest the food. Do you think you won’t blame them?
What are you dreaming about?
Sir, I originally only wanted to occupy the mountain and become the king, hide from the war for a while, and continue to be my eldest son when the rebellion is over. But now I have to drag my family and my family to be a nanny for nearly ten thousand people?
The Song family must take at least half of the credit for getting to this point. It would be merciful to give you a slap in the face before you come up.
Now you want to blackmail me with morality?
Li Chengzhi's face turned cold, he sat down on the soft couch leisurely, and asked solemnly: "What do you three mean by this?"
Hearing Li Chengzhi speak, the three of them straightened up. The two village elders didn't speak, they just looked at the younger one.
"Please Sir, please forgive my Song family for being involved in chaos!" This man kowtowed again.
Did you worship at the wrong temple door?
Li Chengzhi was confused.
I don’t even have an official status, how can you ask me to forgive you?
Hu Baozong is right next to you, can’t you see him?
Besides, not to mention Hu Baozong, even Hu Shichang, the governor of Jingzhou, probably would not dare to say the word "forgiveness"...
This is a rebellion...
Hmm?
He seemed to be talking about chaos, but also temporarily?
Doesn’t the word “obey” mean coercion and blind obedience?
Li Chengzhi's heart moved, and he looked at the three people on the ground with amusement: "How is the food collection going?"
The young man replied: "I said I would only keep three days of rations, so I would only keep them for three days. If there is one more grain, please punish me!"
"Hehehe..." Li Chengzhi couldn't help laughing.
It turned out that someone had discovered my thoughts?
Seeing that Ding Zhuangquan was transferred away, and there was no one from the Li clan to supervise their harvesting of grain, some people guessed that they were deliberately allowing them to make mistakes.
These people were not sure whether they really wanted to attack them, or whether they were just trying to collect food. In fear, they came to apologize.
It seems that the Song family has an expert, and he must be the one in front of him...
Li Chengzhi looked at the two village elders who still looked surprised, then at the younger one, and sneered: "How did you guess that?"
The young man bowed again: "The old soldier of the Li family bravely conquered Jingzhou. There is just a group of monks and thieves. Why does Chief Li need to recruit the young men of the Song family to suppress them?"
"Oh?" Li Chengzhi's eyes flashed, "How did you know?"
The place where Li Qi and Li Shixian were officials and fought in the past was thousands of miles away in Wuwei Town, and it was more than ten years ago. Not many people in Jingzhou knew their details.
In addition, Li, Qi, and Li Shixian were all convicted of defeat and deprived of their official titles, so most people only thought that the Li family's reputation for being powerful and brave was just the sedan chairmen carrying people, or that the Li family themselves were trying to put gold on their faces. Therefore, even fewer people know that the Li family has more than a hundred elite soldiers.
Otherwise, Yin Guang and Yin Zhen can still treat the Li family as a weak persimmon?
The young man raised his head slightly: "My father once served as Duke Huaide's jicao and joined the army!"
Duke Huaide was Li Shixian. Li Song told Li Chengzhi that the man who served his father as a soldier was Song Wenzhong, the second roommate of the Song family.
My concubine married this concubine...
Li Chengzhi was startled: "Are you the third brother's uncle?"
The young man made another question: "Isn't Song Lishen so talented?"
Li Chengzhi glanced at him sideways.
I don’t even remember what my father looks like. If you give me a name, can I know who you are?
Hu Baozong, however, looked surprised. He looked at Song Lishen and said, "Are you the concubine who was demoted from the main clan by the Song family in order to marry the daughter of Lehu?"
Song Lishen's face looked a little unnatural, but he still nodded: "Exactly!"
Li Feng also had a look of surprise on his face.
Li Chengzhi was surprised and happy.
Didn’t it mean that the head of the Song family had already been wiped out?
Is there anyone alive?
Not only is he alive, but he is also a close relative of himself, and he also looks quite smart?
What an unexpected surprise. Could it be that even God is helping me?
