First Minister of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 440
...

Seeing Li Shimin taming the fierce horse with a majestic appearance, Li Yuanji twitched his mouth and smiled sinisterly.

This scene happened to be caught by Gao Chong's eyes, and he felt awe-inspiring. He immediately looked at the horse, and saw that the horse was panting heavily, and there was a little white foam at the corner of its mouth, and the pair of eyes were even more frightening. It was blood red, kicking its hooves uncomfortably.

Sitting on the horseback, Li Shimin panted heavily, smiled to the left and right and said: "This horse is really strong."

"Second brother, let's go, let's go to the mountains for a comparison." Li Yuanji raised his chin and said with a smug smile: "Controlling horses on flat ground is not a real skill."

After going to the rugged mountainous area, the horse galloped up and went crazy, and it would definitely fall you to death, Li Yuanji's eyes were full of cruelty.

Li Yuanji rushed towards the forest first, and everyone followed closely behind. Gao Chong hurriedly followed, "My lord, there is something wrong with this horse."

However, the speed of the horse had already been raised at this time, and the brigade rushed forward.

The horse neighed and rushed forward suddenly.

Gao Chong's eyes widened when he saw this, and he exclaimed, "My lord, be careful...".

As the words fell, I saw the horse rushing to the right. There was a rocky ditch in front of it. When it came to the front, the fierce horse jumped high and kicked its hooves in the air. The hooves were tense and stiff. Gao Chong didn't care too much, he jumped on the horse and stretched out his hand.

Li Shimin's eyes were quick, his movements were quick, and he rushed towards Gao Chong, and Gao Chong pulled Li Shimin over.

With two thuds, the fierce horse spit from the corner of its mouth, and its limbs were stiff and fell into the pile of rocks.

Gao Chong sat down and his horse jumped in the air, overwhelmed by the load, his front hooves were folded in the rocks, hissing harshly, while Gao Chong and Li Shimin fell heavily to the side.

If Gao Chong hadn't made a timely move to buffer him, the fierce horse would have thrown Li Shimin to death among the rubble. Gao Chong and Li Shimin, who fell to the side, also grinned in pain.

The sand and gravel on the ground had worn Gao Chong's arm into a bloody mess, and Li Shimin was even worse, his forehead fell to the ground, dripping with blood.

"Your Majesty..." Gao Chong cried out in pain. If Li Shimin were to confess here, it would be a big game.

"Your Majesty...", everyone turned pale with shock when they saw this scene, and hurriedly stepped forward to help.

Li Shimin grinned and waved his hands: "No, nothing...".

Gao Chong rushed forward, seeing that Li Shimin's will was clear, it should only be a superficial injury, but seeing the crowd quickly surround him, Gao Chong had an idea, wiped the blood rushing from his hand on Li Shimin's forehead, and hurriedly whispered: "Pretend to be seriously injured".

The blood was so bloody that Li Shimin couldn't open his eyes. Hearing Gao Chong's words, Li Shimin didn't have time to think about it, so he lay down in Gao Chong's arms and closed his eyes tightly, as if he was dying.

"Your Majesty..." Gao Chong cried out sadly, "Imperial doctor, please hurry up."

Not far away, Li Jiancheng felt ecstatic when he saw this, and then shouted in feigned panic, "Erlang, what's wrong with you, Erlang?"

Seeing Li Shimin's head covered in blood, lying in Gao Chong's arms not knowing whether he was alive or dead, Li Jiancheng's heart throbbed, and at the same time he couldn't help feeling a little sad, so he couldn't help but blurted out: "Erlang...".

Chai Shao, Yu Wenshi and others carried Li Shimin to the tent in a panic, and shouted, some called the king, some called the imperial doctor.

Li Yuan was showing off his skills in the distance, when he heard a servant report: King Qin fell from his horse, and his life and death are unknown.

Li Yuan felt his eyes go dark, and he galloped to the front of the tent.

Seeing Gao Chong pacing anxiously at the door, the clothes on his arms were torn and dripping with blood, Li Yuan asked anxiously, "How is Erlang?"

"Your Majesty, the King of Qin was seriously injured and unconscious, and the imperial doctor is treating him now." Gao Chong lowered his head, his eyes were red, and sobbed, "I regret letting the King of Qin ride that crazy horse, I really hate it."

"Crazy horse?" Li Yuan frowned and shouted, "What's going on?"

Gao Chong glanced at Li Jiancheng, "His Royal Highness gifted King Qin a crazy horse. This horse was rebellious and already mad. When the horse was leaping across the ditch, it suddenly died suddenly, and King Qin fell off."

Li Jiancheng panicked when he heard this and said: "Youzhi, you can't talk nonsense. It is clearly a BMW. Animals will inevitably kick their hooves. Who would have expected that."

"That's right, you can't call it a crazy horse just because it kicks its hooves." Li Yuanji couldn't see any sadness and anxiety, but was faintly happy.

Li Yuan stared fiercely.

Gao Chong continued: "That crazy horse is there, Your Majesty can take a look, it is foaming at the mouth, red eyes, it is obviously a crazy horse, a sick horse."

Li Yuan didn't say a word, waited for the attendant to lift the dead horse up with great effort, Li Yuan squatted down to take a closer look, his expression was gloomy.

Turning around and entering the account, Li Shimin was lying on the couch, unconscious, and the imperial doctor was treating the wound. Li Yuan staggered and stared at him, dazed.

"The war horse kicked its hooves, and the King of Qin accidentally fell off the horse. He ordered the imperial doctor to do his best to treat him. If there is any news, please report it in time."

After a long silence, Li Yuan said in a hoarse voice, then left without looking at the crowd.

"Your Highness, you are so ruthless," Gao Chong said in a deep voice while covering his injured arm, looking at Li Jiancheng with an uncertain expression.

Li Yuan, who was not far away, paused when he heard these words, "Declared the decree, Gao Chong, the young minister of Dali Temple, joined the Dianjun of the Prince of Qin's Palace."

Gao Chong was startled, and bowed to accept the order.

There is one more official position on his body, Wangfu Dianjun, ranked in the fifth rank, in charge of the guards of the Wangfu, which is equivalent to the role of the head of the guard.

Li Yuan knew very well that Gao Chong and Li Shimin had a deep friendship, and the intention of his post as a Dianjun was obvious, which was to protect Li Shimin by Gao Chong. It seemed that Li Yuan already knew everything in his heart.

Li Jiancheng stared at Gao Chong with a gloomy expression, "Youzhi, what did you mean just now?"

"Gao Chong, don't talk nonsense." Li Yuanji's face was fierce, "If you dare to say something nonsense again, I will never forgive you."

Gao Chong sneered, wiped the blood on his arm, and shrugged nonchalantly, "I hope King Qi will remember the blood today."

After the words fell, regardless of Li Yuanji's furious rage, Gao Chong turned around and paid for it.

This imperial doctor was the one who set Du Ruhui's bones that time. His surname was Hu. He was good at trauma and knew Li Shimin well.

Gao Chong took out a small token from his pocket, "Doctor Hu, King Qin was seriously injured and unconscious, thank you for your hard work."

While talking, he stuffed the token into Imperial Doctor Hu's arms, and said in a low voice: "The VIP card of the Hero Pavilion in Dongshi City can be used to withdraw ten thousand guan."

Physician Hu was startled when he heard the words, and covered his chest, "Gao Shaoqing is serious, this is the old man's business, I just hope King Qin wakes up sooner."

Li Shimin was lying on the couch, watching the two quietly with his eyes open.

After seeing off Doctor Hu, Gao Chong looked at Li Shimin and sighed, "Your Majesty, they're going to kill you."

Li Shimin's eyes were full of grief, and he sighed: "They were born from the same root, so why rush each other, I never thought of killing them."

"Your Majesty is benevolent, but now there is no room for redemption," Gao Chong said bluntly.

Li Shimin didn't answer, just asked: "You let me pretend to be seriously injured, but to win the sympathy of the saint?"

Gao Chong nodded, "The sage has always wanted brothers and sisters to respect each other, but this time, they have gone too far, and the sage will definitely do something."

Li Shimin remained silent.
