Lin Yi looked dull, lying on the bed with his swollen buttocks bulging. His wounds had been treated with medicine and he had changed into clean clothes.
Li Chengqian, who was sitting next to him, didn't like his current appearance. He felt too lifeless, like an old man in his twilight years, so he touched his butt for a while and watched with enjoyment his expression of squinting his eyes and grinning in pain.
But Li Chengqian didn't notice that Lin Yi's eyes were not focused at all. He just reacted instinctively, and his mind was not on it.
Li Ke resumed his aristocratic posture and drank ginger soup without any problems. He tried his best to stay calm, but judging from his trembling hands, he was not very successful in maintaining his composure.
Li Tai was so excited that he came over to pat him twice. He was the most embarrassed this time. His two brothers were frightened to tears. He not only cried, but also peed. Facing the stern face of the guard,
He was simply ashamed.
He didn't like Lin Yi. Although he admitted that Lin Yi was very capable, he still didn't like him. He decided to keep a distance from Lin Yi after returning this time. However, he thought that because of Lin Yi's personality, his eldest brother and Lin Yi would not like each other.
Being with him is quite good, at least he can get into a lot of trouble, and he can be a good boy. However, Lin Yi caused him to lose his composure, and he still has to remember this grudge.
Ginger soup was a must. They had been freezing for several hours, and their bodies were very cold. Li Chengqian, who had had enough, fed Lin Yi the ginger soup bit by bit.
Lin Yi swallowed subconsciously.
Yuchi Gong came in after reporting, first met with several highnesses, and then came to Lin Yi's bedside.
"Hey, kid, thanks to you, I can catch someone today!" He slapped Lin Yi on the butt.
With a sound of "Ouch.", the absent-minded Lin Yi instinctively jumped up and spilled the ginger soup he was drinking all over Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian stood up as if nothing had happened and said respectfully to Yuchi. "Please, General Yuchi, please ask his subordinates to bring some burn ointment."
Yuchi Gong's eyes lit up, and he looked Li Chengqian up and down, thinking: What a boy! If nothing else, his bearing is just like that of an emperor!
Little did he know that Li Chengqian was really a little numb. Lin Yi often got into trouble, and he was the unlucky one every time. If it was normal, he might have jumped up and screamed, but today after being frightened all day, he
I feel like this little thing is nothing.
Lin Yi, who had woken up, tilted his head and stared blankly at this sturdy man with splayed eyebrows, big eyes, a wide mouth, a dark face, and a beard. Those who knew him were a general, but those who didn't thought he was a mountain king!
Yuchi Gong looked this dull child up and down. He knew who he was, and he also knew that the emperor wanted to make him a prince. Qin Qiong had just told him that this child was very smart, but his brain was lacking in some things, but
His nature is good, and the scars all over his body really prove that he has realized his mistake.
If he hadn't heard these words, Yuchi Gong would have wanted to kill him. It was because of the Kongming Lantern he made that he had to go out of the city to fight the Turks head-on. As a result, three thousand people were killed and injured! Three thousand men!
Yuchi Gong was heartbroken, these were all good men! According to his plan, he could have survived at least half of them, but they were gone like this. How could he not hate them?
However, looking at the child in front of him, there was fear, regret, and a hint of apology in his clear eyes. He was just a child, and no matter how smart a child was, he would never have imagined that there would be such consequences. Who could he blame for an unintentional mistake?
!
Yuchi Gong suddenly lost his mood to punish Lin Yi, looked at him deeply, and walked out a little lonely.
Lin Yi looked at his back, feeling suddenly sour in his heart. Why? He didn't understand!
In the quiet night, Lin Yi couldn't sleep. He forced himself out of bed and limped outside. Suddenly his arm was held up. When he turned around, he found that Li Chengqian was supporting him...
"If you want to go to the toilet, just push me to wake me up. What if you fall in like this?" Li Chengqian complained softly, but still carefully moved the stool blocking the way for Lin Yi.
"I just couldn't sleep and wanted to go for a walk."
"Are you thinking about torturing yourself? Your butt is swollen like that, and there are so many injuries on your body, and you still go out for a walk?" Li Chengqian really didn't understand his thoughts. In fact, he couldn't sleep either. He could see it as soon as he closed his eyes.
There were scenes of armies fighting or being hung from a tree, so he insisted on sleeping with Lin Yi on the pretext of taking care of his brother, but in fact he was afraid.
"Come with me for a walk, I feel so stuck in my heart." Lin Yi didn't know why, but since he met General Yuchi, his heart not only hurt, but also felt like there was a big stone blocked in his heart. He believed in his intuition,
This feeling must be reasonable, so he wants to seek the answer now.
Li Chengqian supported him and walked around the yard. Lin Yi stretched out his mental energy and looked around for General Yuchi.
Finally, I found two people drinking in the courtyard next door. One figure looked very much like Qin Qiong, and the other must be General Yuchi. Apart from him, no one could drink with Qin Qiong on an equal footing. Lin Yi wanted to
Knowing what they were talking about, he pulled Li Chengqian and walked slowly over. As he walked, he did not forget to use wind elements to cushion his feet to reduce the sound of his footsteps.
The two found someone guarding the front door, so they went around to the back of the small courtyard. The earthen wall of the small courtyard was not high. Lin Yi and Li Chengqian climbed into the courtyard lightly, squatted under the window, and listened carefully to the conversation in the house.
Li Chengqian was a little excited. This was the first time he heard other people's opinions.
"Jingde, I know you feel uncomfortable, but your health is important and you can't drink so much wine!" Qin Qiong's voice sounded in the room.
"Don't worry about me, I...I'm not drunk...I'm not drunk..." Lin Yi recognized the voice of General Yuchi, but his words were a little slurred, he must have drunk too much!
"You have done a great job in capturing Qijin of the Turks this time. Moreover, those men also made a lot of contributions and killed many Turks, so they deserved their death." Qin Qiong advised with a wry smile.
"A well-deserved death? Hum, Qin Qiong! Qin Shubao!... You are also a leader, don't you feel guilty for saying this!" Yuchi Gong sneered.
"Don't tell me those big things. I only know that my soldiers don't have to die, but now they have to die for a sky lantern. I know... I know that the sky lantern is a great invention, and it will definitely be used in the hands of our emperor.
It should have the effect. I understand these! But you should also understand... what is it like to watch your soldiers... go to die one after another?! Are our soldiers in the Tang Dynasty strong? You said... compared with the Turks, they are stronger
Is it? It's not that I look down on my own soldiers... But compared with those Turkic savages, we are indeed worse. If we hadn't trained diligently during these days, more people would have died... We fight with brains and hardness.
Fight?! That's what only a fool would do...and today...I just made a fool once...hehe...what a fool...wow..." Yu Chigong slapped the table in excitement and roared, and after he yelled, he leaned on the table again.
He was sobbing and crying, and he could only vent his anger after drinking too much. He was a general, and no matter how painful he felt, he could not break down. Even if he cried, he did not dare to let the soldiers guarding outside hear him.
Qin Qiong was speechless, he was also a leader, he understood! Compared with life, all words are pale.
Patting Yuchi Jingde on the shoulder, he drank alone.
Li Chengqian and Lin Yi outside the window had already burst into tears. Only now did Lin Yi know what the trouble he had caused had caused so many serious consequences.
The two of them gritted their teeth to prevent themselves from crying. Lin Yi tugged on Li Chengqian's sleeves and quietly walked towards the courtyard wall.
After returning to the hut and lying on the bed, Lin Yicai let his tears flow and choked up.
Li Chengqian stood close to him, holding his hand and crying silently.
Lin Yi was tired from crying, and before falling asleep, he told himself that he was willing to do anything as long as he could remedy the situation.
