Great Tang princess

Chapter 355
Since the execution began, the screams of Xu Jingye and others have not stopped.

At first it was just yelling, but then it turned into begging for mercy, hoping to die quickly, and then it turned into gibberish.

Shout out to my parents, admit my mistake, beg the queen to let the princess go...

Li Yuechen next to him acted as if he hadn't heard it, and didn't give the order to stop.

The punishment continued until dusk, the throats of several people shouting were already hoarse, and almost no sound could be heard.

However, they kept talking about something, some begged for mercy, some regretted it, and some hoped that their heads would be cut off quickly.

Perhaps they all thought that they could withstand such a punishment at first, but the facts have proved that few people can maintain this kind of punishment.

The crowd of onlookers had already left quite a few, but there were still some people with strong psychological endurance who were still watching. Not far from the execution ground, there were still a few luxurious four-wheeled carriages parked.

At present, those who can afford this kind of carriage in Dongdong are basically dignitaries.

It seems that they are also curious about this kind of punishment, so they also came to the scene to watch today.

It's just that judging from the gentle shaking of the carriages and the occasional people who look like servants coming in and out, it seems that the conditions of the people inside are not much better.

The executioners in charge of the execution had almost reached their limits. In the February weather, beads of sweat gradually fell from their heads.

An executioner suddenly cut the femoral artery unsteadily with the knife, and a large amount of blood sprayed out from his thigh and splashed his face.

He was suddenly a little terrified, seeing the convulsed body of the prisoner and the blood gradually beginning to smear under his body, he knew that this person might not survive.

However, only more than [-] knives have been cut now. If this continues, I am afraid that he himself will be punished.

Li Yuechen next to him shook his head, it was the first time he was in charge of this kind of execution, and she didn't expect to be able to complete it at all.

The human body is actually very fragile, and there are too many vital points. It is not so easy to cut a thousand knives.

Rather, it was beyond her expectations to be able to cut more than two hundred knives for the first time today.

She said to the beheading officer next to her: "It's their first execution, so there's no need to punish them, as long as they can be better next time."

"Yes! Follow His Highness's order!"

Finally, after the sun went down, the soldiers packed the bodies of several masterminds into bamboo baskets and prepared to take them back to the barracks.

Li Yuechen gave an order from the side: "After going back, disembowel the corpse, and then smear it with quicklime for embalming treatment...Starting tomorrow, all medical soldiers must participate in training!"

"Yes!"

……

Li Yuechen didn't know if the shocking Ling Chi scene had a deterrent effect, but at least after the news got out, people with rebellious intentions had to think carefully about whether they could bear the consequences.

The next morning, other soldiers continued their training, while all the medical soldiers were gathered and came to the laboratory of the Academy of Engineering.

Several embalmed corpses were placed on the test bench, surrounded by medical soldiers, completely surrounding the place.

Li Yuechen was standing next to the corpse, his black eyes swept across the audience: "The antiseptic time of quicklime is limited, so you should take advantage of this time to study more. The various structures inside the human body are convenient for future rescue use."

"For example here." Li Yuechen pointed to the cut muscle on the thigh and explained, "There are arteries and veins in the human body, which are blood vessels that transport blood. Once cut..."

In the end, Li Yuechen was just a half-assed person, and he couldn't give them a complete lecture at all, so he could only speak out what he understood.

For the rest, they can only study slowly by themselves.

Anyway, the development of medicine does not happen overnight. It requires the efforts of generations, a lot of time, energy and even life, in order to continue to develop.

Li Yuechen can't improve the medical technology of this era all at once, but he can point out the direction for them so that they can be at the forefront of the future medical technology.

……

After this matter was settled, Li Yuechen was relieved.

Now that Xu Jingye's treason case is basically over here, he can finally have a good rest. Let's go back to the princess mansion for dinner tonight.

Li Yuechen got on his horse, and while going back, he was thinking about whether he should eat hot pot tonight...

As soon as he walked out of the barracks, he saw a man galloping towards him on horseback.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Zhang Chengxin.

After arriving in front of him, Zhang Chengxin quickly jumped off his horse and said, "Your Highness!"

"Is something wrong, Madam?" Li Yuechen asked.

"No!" Zhang Chengxin shook his head and replied after taking a breath, "The Shangguan commander received an urgent report that Mr. Liu is critically ill in Chang'an! I'm afraid...the time is running out..."

"What?" Li Yuechen was shocked, "My master?"

"Yes!" Zhang Chengxin nodded, panting heavily, "The Empress ordered my servants to come and inform His Highness..."

I didn't say anything later, Li Yuechen pulled the reins after making sure, and ran directly into the barracks.

After entering the barracks, he immediately waved to the soldiers next to him: "Tell Liu Huang to come over as quickly as possible!"

After speaking, he went straight to the engineering institute and ran over.

Master suddenly became critically ill, Li Yuechen had to rush to Chang'an as quickly as possible.

After all, he is already over eighty years old, and it is not very likely that he will leave suddenly. If this is the case, he must rush there as soon as possible to see the master for the last time.

The hang glider has always been placed in the Academy of Engineering for them to study. If you want to say that the fastest way to reach Chang'an now is to fly there.

At the same time, Li Yuechen also planned to bring Liu Huang with him. As for the rest of the people, they just had to hurry up and go there.

After arriving at the engineering institute, they were asked to take out the hang glider. Li Yuechen checked the side very carefully and found no problems, so he asked the soldiers to take it to the top of the mountain.

"Your Highness, Your Highness..."

Just after the inspection, Liu Huang has already come running: "I, Aunt..."

"Don't talk, you and I will fly directly to Chang'an!"

"Yes!"

Liu Huang did not lose his composure, and nodded very seriously.

After arranging things here with Fulai, Li Yuechen and Liu Huang immediately came to the top of the mountain, and then began to assemble the hang glider.

At the same time, I checked the weather. It has not snowed recently, and the wind is not bad today. I should be able to fly over within two hours!

……

While assembling the hang glider, Li Yuechen instructed Liu Huang to put on the winter clothes and windproof glasses, and then got into the bag.

After assembling the hang glider, Li Yuechen checked it carefully again, then put on the winter clothes and glasses, and got under the hang glider.

"After taking off for a while, grab my shoulder!" Li Yuechen turned his head and ordered, "Don't move yourself, you just need to lie in the bag."

"Yes!" Liu Huang agreed, "Your Highness, Ah Weng... are you alright?"

Li Yuechen didn't answer, he was really not sure about this question.

Master is now over eighty years old, and in this era, he is already an extremely rare long-lived person.

But at this time, he was suddenly seriously ill. With the medical conditions of this era, it was almost hopeless...

She shook her head: "Okay, get ready! We will fly very high, the sky is windy, so don't talk! Relax and don't move around!"

After speaking, he licked his fingers to feel the direction of the wind.

After waiting for a while, he suddenly felt a gust of wind rushing up the cliff in front of him. Taking advantage of the situation, he grabbed the landing gear and rushed straight towards the cliff in front of him.

The moment it rushed out of the cliff, the hang glider dived directly to the ground.

Then Li Yuechen pushed the landing gear forward, and under the action of the updraft, the hang glider raised its head and began to rise rapidly.

It flew up to a height of [-] meters almost in an instant, and was still climbing upwards at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Liu Huang, who was behind him, grabbed her shoulders and looked at the gradually shrinking Mangshan Mountain and Dongdu City with horror on his face.

Although he has always longed for training such as skydiving, he is still a rookie and has no experience in flying into the sky.

The first time I went to the sky today was not a hot air balloon, but a faster hang glider. It is normal to feel frightened for a while.

After Li Yuechen rose to a certain height, he gently pulled back the landing gear, changing from ascending to diving, and the flying speed increased a lot in an instant.

Perhaps because of God's face, the wind direction is good today, which is very suitable for flying.

The two quickly moved towards Chang'an. As long as the altitude allowed, Li Yuechen would pull up the hang glider and dive from time to time, saving a lot of time.

Liu Huang also gradually got used to the high altitude, he was not as scared as before, and subconsciously observed the scenery in the sky.

Normally, he would feel very excited, but now he just hopes to hurry up and go to Chang'an to see what happened to his grandfather.

But he didn't dare to urge him, he knew that the princess as an apprentice must be as anxious as himself.

After about an hour and a half, Li Yuechen suddenly began to lower the height, and the scenery on the ground gradually revealed.

The huge city of Chang'an also began to gradually enlarge in front of his eyes, and the two of them had already flown over Chang'an.

Li Yuechen wondered whether to land in the Daming Palace or directly in the master's mansion.

The two places are a bit far apart, if possible, she wants to save a little time and land directly at the master's mansion.

But the problem is that if the subordinates haven't seen this thing before, it will be troublesome to shoot him down before he lands.

After thinking about it, he decided to land directly at the mansion, as long as he landed and circled a few more times, so that the people inside could see himself and Liu Huang behind him clearly.

So he turned his head slightly while descending the height: "Take off the mask and glasses!"

"Yes!" Liu Huang agreed, and took off his glasses and mask, revealing his face.

Li Yuechen drove the hang glider down quickly, and soon hovered next to Liu Rengui's mansion.

Many people around looked up one after another, pointing at the same time, a lot of soldiers quickly poured into the mansion.

However, Li Yuechen obviously thought too much. This is not the first time this hang glider has appeared in the world. Many people still have an impression of it, and they didn't take out their bows and arrows to aim.

Not to mention that someone found Liu Huang behind her and had already called out loudly from below.

Seeing that it was almost done, Li Yuechen immediately adjusted his direction and started to land at the fastest speed under the premise of ensuring safety.

When the hang glider was about to land, Li Yuechen pulled his feet out of his bag, stood upright on the hang glider, and gradually pulled it down.

In the end, the hang glider landed steadily in the yard.

Li Yuechen immediately began to disassemble the skeleton of the hang glider, while Liu Huang quickly got out of the bag.

Many soldiers rushed over, and the steward quickly came over to salute: "I have seen Her Royal Highness, I have seen..."

"Hurry up and lead the way!" Li Yuechen interrupted with a wave of his hand.

"Yes! Your Highness, please follow me!"

The butler said, and quickly turned around and trotted into the inner room.

Li Yuechen followed behind, took off his glasses and mask as he walked, and probably tidied his hair.

When the two entered the inner room, they saw Liu Rengui lying on the bed, with silver needles pierced on his chest near his heart, and his breath was like a gossamer.

"Aon!"

Liu Huang yelled, and immediately ran to the bed and knelt down, holding his hand in his.

For a moment, I couldn't help but my eyes were red, and tears burst out of my eyes in an instant.

There were many people standing beside him, including doctors and servants... including Liu Huang's father, Liu Jun.

Seeing Li Yuechen, Liu Jun hurriedly saluted: "I have seen Her Royal Highness!"

The woman next to him who was also wiping tears seemed to be his wife, and she hurriedly saluted after hearing this.

"All free!"

Li Yuechen waved his hand, took a few steps forward, and asked softly, "How is Master?"

Before Liu Jun could reply, Liu Rengui on the bed slowly opened his eyes and said weakly, "His Royal Highness is coming..."

Speaking of getting up.

"Okay, Master lie down in peace!" Li Yuechen immediately stopped him, and then sat on the edge of the bed, "Have a good rest."

"Hehe..." Liu Rengui smiled softly, "I knew it, I would definitely be able to last until His Highness came..."

Li Yuechen's eyes were a little red, and he sniffled: "Well, Master must be fine!"

Liu Rengui shook his head lightly: "Your Highness, you don't need to comfort me. I'm an old man. It's about time. If you still have some concerns..."

Speaking of this, he slightly turned his head to look at Liu Huang: "It's this kid, in the future, I hope His Highness will take care of you a little more..."

"En!" Li Yuechen nodded, raised his hand to wipe the tears from his eyes, "Master, don't worry!"

Hearing her promise, Liu Rengui smiled slightly: "Your Highness, please let me explain a few words to my family..."

Li Yuechen nodded, got up and walked out of the house, casually beckoned to the doctor next to him to follow him out.

When he came to the courtyard, without waiting for the other party to salute, Li Yuechen asked directly: "What kind of illness is Master?"

"Returning to Your Highness, it's not a disease." The doctor saluted, "The five viscera are exhausted, the qi and blood are weak...this is...the qi has been exhausted. The acupuncture two days ago protected the heart, qi and blood, but... that's the only way to go .”

Hearing his answer, Li Yuechen nodded to show that he understood.

Indeed, the master didn't look like he was in any pain. Maybe it would be like the doctor said, and his life would come to an end.

Li Yuechen raised his head and looked at the sky, his red eyes filled with tears.

After taking a deep breath, he waved to the doctor and sat on the steps alone...
