The Great Tang.
On the fourth day of June, Wude years.
Chang 'an City, Lakeside Hall of Taiji Palace.
"Da da da"
With a burst of light horse hooves, two fast horses galloped to the front of the hall, one on the left and one on the right.
The Lakeside Hall was completely silent. The only difference was that not a single palace maid or eunuch could be seen.
The two men on the horses looked at each other and turned their horses around in tacit understanding.
"Brother Wang, the situation has changed. This isn't a safe place. Let's return to the Eastern Palace first.”
"In order to meet Imperial Father, this brother has already been extremely anxious. Now, it seems that we can only temporarily give up.”
If one paid attention, one would see that the two people on horseback were wearing golden armor and the other was wearing golden casual clothes. Their identities were self-evident.
One of them was Li Yuanji from Shangzhu Kingdom, who had made great contributions to the war. The other was the crown prince, Li Jiancheng.
Just as Li Yuanji and Li Jiancheng had walked a dozen steps, a familiar voice came from behind them."
"Big brother, fourth brother, please wait.”
Hearing this voice, the two of them subconsciously turned around and saw a red warhorse galloping rapidly behind them. On the back of the warhorse was the Heavenly Strategy General, the King of Qin, Li Shimin.
Li Yuanji, who was on horseback, did not reply. He quickly took out the longbow on his back and the bow in his quiver. He drew the bow and aimed at the King of Qin behind him.
"Fourth brother." Li Jiancheng exclaimed.
"We can't care so much. This time, Second Brother definitely doesn't come with good intentions. We can only strike first!”As soon as Li Yuanji finished speaking, an arrow flew out.
It was precisely because Li Yuanji was too nervous that the bow flew out before it was fully drawn.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The three arrows missed without exception.
"Looks like today's battle is inevitable!”Seeing this, Li Shi Min's eyes narrowed. He had already made up his mind and immediately drew his bow!
When the two people on horseback were almost in a straight line, he saw that the time was right and released an arrow!
Whoosh! The arrow shot out and went straight for the Crown Prince, Li Jiancheng!
Li Shi Min had fought in many battles, and this archery skill was something he was proud of!
"Ah!" The next moment, Li Jiancheng, who had been shot in the back, groaned and fell from his horse. He immediately fainted.
"Big brother!" Seeing this, Li Yuanji became even more nervous.
Looking behind the king, a heavily armored cavalryman holding a horse lance was also running toward him. Behind him, there were dozens of light cavalrymen running quickly.
Seeing this, Li Yuanji became even more flustered.
He was brave and good at fighting. He had won many battles in his life and had his own pride. However, when he saw the black-faced man chasing after the King of Qin, he felt a chill in his heart.
There was no other reason. Li Yuanji had fought with Yuchi Jingde many times. Even if Yuchi Jingde fought against his white blade empty-handed, he did not have much of a chance of winning.
"Whoosh!"
Yuchi Jingde ordered his cavalrymen to shoot arrows, and a dense rain of arrows came from behind.
In the next moment, Li Yuanji, who was wearing armor, was shot in the back. He lost his balance and fell off his horse.
However, just as he was about to lose all hope, Li Shiming's date red horse was frightened by his sudden fall and brought Li Shiming into the forest beside the Black Tortoise Gate.
Seeing this, Li Yuanji was overjoyed. He endured the pain in his back and chased after her.
Unexpectedly, Li Shiming, who was in the forest, fell off his horse because he was caught by a branch. At this moment, he did not even have the strength to get up.
Looking at Yuchi Jingde and the rest again, they were still some distance away from here!
"The heavens are helping me!" Li Yuanji threw his head back and laughed loudly, then quickly snatched the bow and arrow from Li Shiming's back.
"Second brother, just die in peace!”
Then, he aimed the bowstring at Li Shi Min's throat and pressed down with the weight of his body, trying to kill him with the bowstring.
"Don't even think about it!" Li Shiming was holding on to Li Yuanji's bowstring with all his might, but his body was drained of strength, and fresh blood was flowing out continuously. It was obvious that he could not hold on for much longer, and his eyes were filled with unwillingness!
"After planning for so long, could it be that it has failed just like this?”
"I fought bravely against the enemy and made many contributions to the Great Tang. I am unwilling to be treated like this…"
"I can't die like this."
Li Shi Min clenched his teeth and tried to gather all his strength. Unfortunately, even clenching his teeth was difficult.
"Big Brother has most likely died at Yuchi Jingde's hands, and now you're going to die too, hahaha!" Li Yuanji suddenly let out a low roar filled with ambition.
"Who else but me would be the Crown Prince?"
Then, he burst out with his strongest power, wanting to directly end Li Shiming's life.
" It's over..." Li Shiming had lost all his strength, and his mind was blank.
However, at this critical moment, a black figure suddenly descended from the sky!
Bang!
It actually landed squarely on Li Yuanji's back!
In the next moment, the bow and arrow behind Li Yuanji coincidentally pierced through his heart!
" Uh…" Li Yuanji grunted. His eyes were wide open like copper bells, and blood flowed out of the corner of his mouth. Even until his death, he still could not believe that he would die in such a way!
Li Shi Min turned his head at the critical moment and escaped the disaster. However, even though he was a veteran general, he was still stunned by the situation in front of him.
What was going on? Someone had descended from the sky at the critical moment? He even saved me?
Li Shiming, who had recovered some strength, tried his best to push Li Yuanji's body away.
Then, he looked at the figure who had smashed Li Yuanji to death with an incredulous expression.
It was a young man about 16 or 17 years old. His eyes were tightly shut at this moment. He checked his breathing and found that he was not dead. He was only unconscious.
"Your subordinate came late to save you. Please forgive me, King Qin.”Not long after, the valiant general Yuchi Jingde finally arrived. He dismounted from his horse and half-knelt on the ground with his horse lance in hand.
As for the cavalrymen behind him, they also dismounted and knelt on the ground from afar.
"He saved me." Li Shi Min lay on the ground and said weakly,"Otherwise, this king would have died at the hands of that scoundrel Li Yuanji.”
"The King of Qin is a lucky man." Yuchi Jingde put down his lance and carefully helped Li Shimin up.
Li Shiming stared at the young man on the ground and said,"
"Jing De, when this king was nine years old, a physiognomist in Jinyang City said that if I could meet a noble person in my life, not only would my fate change and I rule the world, but I would also be able to have a smooth sailing and peaceful country.”
"Then the physiognomist was right.”Yuchi Jingde smiled. With Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji dead today, the fate of the Great Tang was about to be reversed.
"At that time, the Great Sui Dynasty was flourishing day by day. I thought that the physiognomist was talking nonsense. Now that I think about it, this king was really young and frivolous.”Li Shi Min sighed and then said loudly,
"Pass down the order to send this unconscious young man back to King Qin's Mansion. He will be treated with the courtesy of a distinguished guest and will be carefully taken care of by a dedicated person.”
Finally, Li Shi Min regained his strength and jumped onto his horse in high spirits. He waved at the cavalrymen and said,
" Let's go, Taiji Palace!"
......
In the guest room of King Qin's residence, Li Chuan, the young man who had saved the king of Qin, was lying quietly.
In front of the bed, two young princesses stood there carefully. They curiously sized up Li Chuan on the bed while gently waving the scarves in their hands.
