Chapter 142 one four one

All eyes in the hall turned to Li Shimin, waiting for his response, when the door was suddenly pushed open, and a girl's voice said: "Master Wei, do you think that Father can't guess the truth?" Wei Zheng Looking up, it was Princess Ankang standing at the door.It turned out that Ankang was concerned about Mu Yikuan's life and death, and had been keeping an eye on the case. When she heard that Wei Zheng had intervened in the matter and escorted Suni back to Chang'an to expose the truth in front of her father, she was anxious. When he came to the Ministry of Punishment, he stepped forward to challenge Wei Zheng, who is highly respected, regardless of the rules that women cannot interfere in politics.

Ankang looked at Wei Zheng excitedly and said: "Namu Yikuan is just a commoner who has never received a salary from the court, but he can so selflessly share the Lord's worries and sacrifice himself to defend the dignity and life of the princess, brother prince He's going all out, fighting Donggong not to save his sister! Perhaps more truthfully, they broke the law, but they uphold the principles of human relations, don't you have any compassion?" Wei Zheng was a little at a loss, Li Shimin suddenly spoke from the side: "Yes, Xuan Cheng, I am not afraid of you scolding me, in front of you today, I also want to say something, I thank the prince and Mu Yi from the bottom of my heart Wide! I am the Son of Heaven and also a father. Which father can endure such humiliation for his daughter? Even if I am willing to die in peace, how can I be willing to make her life worse than death? To be honest, the prince has done what I want to do but can’t do. , he is not only showing righteousness to all brothers and sisters, but also showing filial piety, Xuan Cheng, fortunately, the food did not fall into Hu Kou's hands, can you put this matter aside for now?" Li Shimin said earnestly, Wei Zheng already understood everything, and he was deeply moved by the love between father and daughter, brother and sister, and fell to his knees with tears in his eyes: "Your Majesty, stop talking, it's my fault!"

The wind roared, and the surrounding fields were in darkness.A bonfire was burning in the wilderness, and the haggard Jieli was sitting by the fire leaning against a cart. His robe had been torn during the escape, his face was still stained with mud, his hair was disheveled, and he looked devastated. His expression looked very bleak in the strong wind.Shi Luodie sat at the side, and there were only a few remnants of soldiers behind them. Botie brought a piece of roasted meat to Xieli: "Khan, you can eat some." Xieli shook his head and asked him to give it to the prince first.Bo Tie came to Shi Luodie again and handed him the meat.Shi Luodie took a bite and immediately spat it out, frowned, threw the meat on the ground, and cursed, "What is this?" Bo Tie replied that it was horse meat.Shi Luodie pointed at Botie's nose and scolded: "You bastard, who am I? How dare you give me this kind of food? Don't you know that I only eat lamb?" Botie swallowed his anger and said, "Your Highness, this wilderness Where can I find a lamb among them!" Shi Luodie lashed Bo Tie with a whip, and scolded him even more fiercely: "You dog slave, how dare you talk back."

Xie Li said from the side: "Enough! It's time for you to show off your prince's record!" Shi Luodie threw down his whip and said in frustration: "Father sweat! My son is really not in the mood to eat. The front is the desert, and the back is the desert." The pursuit of the Tang Dynasty, our tribe has been beaten to pieces, what should we do in the future?" Jieli stared and said, "What should I do? As long as you have breath, don't bow your head. Twenty years ago, I fought a fierce battle with Tuyuhun, and I was defeated with only seven people around me. Three years later, I had seventy thousand people under my command." People. On this prairie, as long as you don’t put down your guns, you will be able to stand up again sooner or later.” Then, he walked to the cart behind him, lifted the top cover of a box, and revealed the dazzling treasure inside. He picked up a handful of beads and said to Shi Luodie: "With these things, I will definitely make a comeback in a short time!"

At this time, there were several fighting sounds in front.Jieli asked, "What's the matter?" A small school came over and reported, "Khan, a group of cavalry came over, and we shot them away with a flurry of arrows." So fast?" Xiaoxiao said: "It seems that it is not Tang Jun, but a scout from Xue Yantuo's department." Jieli's face changed, and he scolded: "Yi Nan, a bastard, has come here after him. Get on your horse and camp twenty miles ahead. I'm not afraid of the Tang army, but be careful with these rebellious officials who lure wolves into the house." , They are too familiar with the grassland!" That night, Xieli set up some more guard posts to guard against the barbarians before falling down and falling asleep.He had walked more than 200 miles during the day, so he slept very deeply this time, and he didn't open his eyes until dawn appeared on the horizon.As usual, he yelled: "Bo Tie—" and waited for Bo Tie to come to wash him up, but after a long time, no one answered.

Jieli stood up abruptly and looked around, only the embers of the bonfire were left, and some sleeping soldiers lay in disorder.Jieli's eyes were trying to find something, when suddenly his body was shaking and he yelled, "Botie, you bastard!" Shi Luodie opened his eyes and asked, "Father, what's wrong?" Ahead: "Car, the car we used to transport treasures—" Shi Luodie looked around, and the cars full of treasures were gone!Jieli cursed with pain on his face: "Bo Tie must have done it! Who are the people around me? I used an incompetent general for Wu, and a treacherous villain for Wen! I am really blind, I What a blind eye!"

Losing his treasure, Jieli's confidence in making a comeback was hit hard, and the road to Shaqi was blocked by Yinan's men again. On the other hand, after a fierce battle, only dozens of people, including his son Shi Luodie, were left beside Xieli.There were shouts of catching Jieli alive on all sides. Jieli rode his horse and galloped forward. After passing a mountain pass in the north, there was an endless desert. After passing the mountain pass, a long arrow caught up with him, shot on his back, pierced his armor, and the horse neighed. He struggled a few times on the horse, and finally rolled off the saddle.

Shi Luodie jumped off his horse, hugged Jieli, and shouted, "Father Khan, how are you doing?" Thanks to the good armor, the arrow wound was painful but not fatal. Jieli gasped heavily. He said with difficulty: "Help me on the horse." Shi Luodie had been running for days, he was hungry, and he had no strength in his body. He used all his strength to help his father stand up and put one foot into the stirrup, but , Waiting for Jieli to twist his waist, the two of them sat down heavily on the ground again. The sound of Tang Jun's killing was getting closer and closer, Shi Luodie glanced back, showing fear, he raised his head and shouted at the personal guards who were speeding past from left and right: "Stop quickly, and help Da Khan mount his horse. "The horseshoes galloped past in disorder, and no one dismounted.Shi Luodie's voice turned into a cry: "Are you all deaf, come and help your profuse Khan on his horse!" Still no one stopped.Shi Luodie put down his father, and cried desperately at the back of the group of defeated soldiers: "Come back quickly, bastard, how can you throw your sweat here?!"

Jie Li said sadly: "Don't shout, they won't come back. Come, Shi Luodie, come here and help me stand up." Shi Luodie came to Jie Li and helped Jie Li to stand up with difficulty.A gust of wind blew, and Jie Li's messy hair and beard trembled, and his body with an arrow on his back swayed, as if he was about to be blown down. He swayed twice, leaning his shoulder against a dead tree, Finally did not fall. Jieli pointed to his sword and said: "I can't lift my arm anymore. This sword has killed countless heroes. Use it to send your father Khan on the road. Let me die standing up. Don't let those Central Plains people look at me." What a joke!" Shi Luodie's eyes fell on the sword, with a look of fear on his face: "No, Father Khan, I can't." Jieli scolded: "You are also my son? Let me down. You go, escape to the horizon, escape to a place where the Tang army can't catch you!" Shi Luodie asked: "Then what do you do?" Jie Li stared at the blood-red eyes and said: "I will Standing here waiting for them to kill me, I have been fighting all my life, and I am satisfied to die on the battlefield—what are you still doing here? Go away!" Shi Luodie fell to his knees and hugged Xieli tightly Legs: "No, I will never leave! If I die, I will die with Father Khan."

Jieli suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed: "Hahaha—God, you finally opened your eyes, there is still one person in this world who refuses to betray me. Hahaha—" He suddenly stopped laughing and shouted: "If you don't go, who will burn incense on my grave in the future? Go!" Amidst his father's roar, Shi Luodie stood up and walked towards a horse with tears in his eyes. Get on the horse and gallop away. With the sound of horseshoes, a group of soldiers from the Tang army rushed up and surrounded Jieli.Zhang Baoxiang, deputy chief of the Datongdao marching, walked out of the queue holding a long spear and beating his horse. He took a look at the bloody enemy and asked loudly, "Who are you?" , gazed at the sky, and replied arrogantly: "The supreme Khan of this grassland!"

A gust of wind swept across the wilderness around Xieli, rolling up snowflakes and dust all over the sky, and also blowing his loose gray hair into the sky. His very weak body was trembling, making people seem I think he has become a rotten tree too.But his burning eyes are telling everyone that he still has a hero's heart under his weak appearance.
