Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 18 The Crown Prince's Solicitation

In the sleeping hall of King Qin's residence in Chang'an City, King Qin Li Shimin was lying on a soft couch with his eyes slightly closed.An imperial doctor over half a century old with gray beard and hair was carefully feeling Li Shimin's pulse.

The imperial physician sometimes shook his head, sometimes nodded, and sometimes frowned.

Princess Qin's eldest grandson Wugou who was beside her asked nervously: "Physician Chen, King Qin...how is his illness...how is it?"

The imperial doctor's face showed a look of surprise, and he muttered happily: "His Royal Highness, the pulse is steady and powerful, and there is no serious problem!"

Li Shimin suddenly opened his eyes and shouted sharply, "Nonsense!"

Although the eldest grandson Wugou didn't know much about medicine, he was very angry when he listened to Li Shimin's words, and he didn't look like he was sick at all.

Li Shimin also felt that he had lost his composure, and put his hands on his head pretendingly: "Why is the lonely king feeling sore and limp in his hands and feet, and his limbs are weak, and he has no appetite for many days... Insomnia and dreams."

The imperial doctor looked at Li Shimin, who was red and dissatisfied, from the corner of his eyes. He didn't believe that Li Shimin had no appetite at all, not to mention that Li Shimin dropped a sheep bone a few times in front of his bed.The imperial physician tremblingly said: "This..."

Although Changsun Wugou didn't know why Li Shimin pretended to be sick, she knew that like Li Shimin would only make things worse.The eldest grandson Hougou got up and picked up a longevity lock made of pure gold from the dressing box in front of the bed, and handed it to Imperial Physician Qin.

"I heard that in a few days it will be your grandson Baisui (that is, Baitian). I really can't get away from it. A small gift is not a respect!"

"What's so funny about that?"

Although Imperial Physician Qin said he was embarrassed, the hand that took over the longevity lock was not at all embarrassed.

Seeing Imperial Physician Qin accept the golden lock, Changsun Wugou said, "Does Imperial Physician Qin know what to say?"

"I know... I know!" Qin Taiyi said: "His Royal Highness the King of Qin has invaded by evil winds, and it is difficult to go down to the ground. He needs to rest for a while..."

After Qin Imperial Doctor left, Changsun Wugou pursed his lips and said displeasedly: "Second brother, why are you pretending to be sick to scare this slave? Do you know how I got here these days? I can't eat and sleep. Can't feel it."

"Avalokitesvara, it's worrying!" Li Shimin sighed helplessly and said, "I can't do anything about it. Qianshuiyuan's defeat has to be someone who has to stand up and take this responsibility."

The eldest grandson Wugou said: "Didn't the father reprimand Liu Wenjing? I heard that he will give up his position! This responsibility will never fall on your head!"

"The maidservant Guanyin doesn't know something!" Li Shimin said: "Although there are many criticisms in the imperial court about the defeat of Qianshuiyuan, these are not the most critical issue. Xue Ju."

The eldest grandson Wugou is so smart, after a little thought, he understood the reason why Li Shimin pretended to be sick. Li Shimin was shadowed by Xue Ju, and he didn't dare to take command to fight against Western Qin again.

At this moment, Lei Yongji's voice suddenly came from outside the door: "I have something important to report in secret!"

Li Shimin said: "Come in!"

The eldest grandson Wugou was about to leave with his maid, Li Shimin said: "They are all from my own family, so you can listen!"

"Is there news from Jingyang?" Li Shimin looked at Lei Yongji and asked anxiously, "Is there news from Jingyang!"

"Reporting to His Royal Highness King Qin, there is news from Jingyang!" Lei Yongji said: "The brother who went to Jingyang with Princess Pingyang, the news came back that Jingyang is guarding."

"It has been defended?" Li Shimin said in surprise, "How is this possible? With the fifty defeated generals in Jingyang, how could it be possible to defend Jingyang? Could it be that Guan Yingyue has such a great ability?"

Lei Yongji said: "It wasn't Guan Yingyue. This bad guy saw that Zong Luohu was leading the attack. He abandoned the city and fled without firing an arrow. Zong Luohu chopped off his head with one knife. Just one meeting, 43 of the fifty Tang soldiers died Finally, there was a newcomer named Chen Ying who hid a broken arrow in his hand and approached Zong Luohu with a false surrender. Taking advantage of his unpreparedness, he captured Zong Luohu and forced the Western Qin army to lay down their weapons. Afterwards, this Chen Ying led the people of Jingyang and wiped out more than [-] troops under Zong Luohu, beheading more than [-] troops!"

"God bless Datang!" Changsun Wugou secretly startled.

Li Shimin said: "Even if Zong Luohou is killed, Western Qin still has hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, I'm afraid they won't let it go? Sanniang only used [-] soldiers to defend Jingyang?"

Lei Yongji said: "One day later, Xi Qin Crown Prince Xue Renguo led more than [-] soldiers and horses to the city of Jingyang, and Chen Ying used the captured armor of the Western Qin Army to form a brave battalion in Jingyang Township with more than [-] people. Chen Ying claimed to be the manager of Jingyang, and led Jingyang Township Yong, Princess Pingyang and Xue Renguo to fight Jingyang. This Chen Ying was really vicious. He deliberately sent messengers to pretend to surrender Xue Renguo. Chen Ying's envoys were really clumsy in acting. He ordered Yao Damu, the general under his command, to attack Jingyang. Who would have thought that Chen Ying's feigned surrender was a lie, but that it was true to lure the West Qin army into the city. Chen Ying dug into the city and squinted his eyes with raw ashes. Annihilate the more than [-] Qiang wolf soldiers under Yao Damu..."

Li Shimin said: "This Chen Ying is really a talent!"

"Who says it's not!" Lei Yongji said: "This Chen Ying is not only good at fighting, but also very smart. Xue Renguo lost half of his troops in the attack on Jingyang and retreated unexpectedly. Chen Ying deduced that there was a major change in the Western Qin Dynasty. Ju is either seriously ill, or already dead... As expected, just got the news, Xue Ju died of madness immediately after he got it, and Xue Renguo has already ascended the throne as the Overlord of the Western Qin Dynasty!"

"Such a talent, how can he not be used by this king?" Li Shimin said: "Xue Ju's death is too good, Xue Ju is dead, Xi Qin is nothing to worry about. Lei Yongji, get ready to drive, this king is going to enter the palace! "

……

Chen Ying and the others were a full day late for Princess Pingyang, and they arrived at Jingyao's gate in the West City of Chang'an when the gate of Chang'an City was about to close.

Before Chen Ying entered the checkpoint where the guards were guarding the city in a carriage, a man in Tsing Yi came up and asked, "May I ask you, are you General Chen Ying Chen?"

"It's a mere lack of talent!" Chen Ying hurriedly jumped off the carriage and cupped his hands, "I don't know who you are?"

The man in Tsing Yi said: "Wei Ting is in the East Palace, and by order of the Crown Prince, I hereby welcome General Chen and his party!"

Li Shimin took a fancy to Chen Ying's talent, and Li Jiancheng also took a fancy to Chen Ying's talent.In fact, it was Wei Ting's strategy to let Xue Wanche be transferred from the right-leading Wei Duwei in the East Palace to the Jingzhou Zhechong Duwei.

In fact, Wei Ting paid more attention to Chen Ying's ability. He is a genius, he can turn a group of mob into fierce tigers, and he can fight Xiqin Xueju on equal terms.This is not only a talent, as long as Chen Ying becomes the disciple of Donggong, he can slap Qin Wang Li Shimin severely.

Li Shimin led 15 elites of the Tang Dynasty, lost [-] soldiers, and was defeated. However, the disciples of Donggong were able to win more with less and defend Jingyang. It will be clear at a glance who is better and who is worse.

How did Chen Ying know about the nasty affair between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin brothers? He still worried that he would not have a place to settle down. The guards of Pingyang Princess' Mansion, Zhao Wang's Mansion and Qin Wang's Mansion would naturally return to their respective mansions, but he and Zhang Huaiwei and You Ziying Not even a place to stay.

Unexaminedly following Wei Ting towards the city, Chen Ying asked puzzledly: "Mr. Wei, where are we going?"

"Go back to your residence, General Chen."
