Li Ji's prestige in the army can be said to be extremely prosperous. After the death of the God of War Li Jing, Li Ji became the well-deserved number one person in the Tang army.
Li Qinzai knew that on the battlefield where the smoke had not cleared, the soldiers prayed in unison, all from the bottom of their hearts.
They sincerely prayed for this famous general in the world and wished him safety and long life.
Although he was in a sad mood, Li Qinzai still felt a sense of pride in his heart at this moment. As Li Ji's grandson, he felt very honored.
It was a full five days' journey when we arrived, but it was only less than three days when we returned.
Three days later, Li Qinzai and his troops arrived at the Tang Army camp outside Wugu City.
The camp was heavily guarded inside and outside. Countless Tang army cavalry were patrolling outside the camp. After Li Ji was injured, Qi Bi Heli took over the command. The first order was to break camp and retreat twenty miles.
The coach was in a coma, and the original siege plan had to be postponed. Qibi Heli was also a famous general, but he knew very well the dangers of war.
Li Ji was injured, and the right time, place, and people were all unfavorable to the Tang army. If we forcefully attack the city at this time, there may be a chance of defeat, so the commander must be cautious.
So in the past few days, the Tang army was forced to switch from offense to defense, and the camp was in a state of contraction inside and outside the camp.
As soon as Li Qinzai stepped into the camp gate, he immediately felt the tense atmosphere in the camp.
After entering the camp, Li Qinzai hurried towards the commander's tent. After walking a short distance, Qibi Heli, Xue Rengui and other generals came to greet him.
Li Qinzai saluted the two of them, and as soon as he bent down, Qibi Heli held his arms with both hands.
"Since when do we still pay attention to these false etiquettes! Come on, hurry up and enter the handsome tent." Qibi Heli grabbed Li Qinzai's arm and walked back.
Li Qinzai then asked in a deep voice: "Grandpa Qibi, I wonder how my grandfather is doing now? Has he ever woken up?"
Qibi Heli looked solemn and sighed: "The young man fell into a coma after falling from his horse. I don't know what evil he committed this year. He suffered this disaster and was in a coma for two days. After the doctor in the army diagnosed and treated him, the young man woke up for a while, and later I got lost in the lake again, and kept going like this intermittently, waking up and falling asleep, and it remains the same to this day."
Li Qinzai's heart sank. Li Ji's condition was more serious than imagined. For an old man in his seventies to suddenly suffer such a disaster, it was as if he had entered the gate of hell.
"Grandpa Qibi, my great-nephew was busy on his way, and when the scouts came to report, they were vague. I wonder why my grandfather suddenly fell off his horse. Is there any reason for this..."
The words were not finished, but the meaning was very clear.
Li Qinzai first had to rule out the possibility of man-made conspiracy. If it was really an accident, there would be nothing to say. He could just accept his fate whether he would live or die.
If it was a massacre set up by Goguryeo, then Li Qinzai would really turn into a black man, and he would not hesitate to massacre his country.
Of course, Qibi Heli understood what Li Qinzai meant, and sighed: "After Ying Gong fell from his horse, I also suspected that it was the Goguryeo people who did it, so I immediately investigated thoroughly."
"But the result was... Marching from Liaodong City to Wugu City, on the day of the accident, the road was indeed very windy and sandy. All the soldiers in the army covered their faces and walked with their heads bowed. The British Duke's mount was an old horse that had been following him for many years. Later, After checking, we found that the beast was indeed blinded by the sand and went crazy."
"My father-in-law was riding on a horse at that time. When the horse went crazy, he tried hard to rein in the horse and tried to calm it down. However, the wind and sand were too strong. The horse was in pain and became manic. After jumping several times, he finally knocked his horse off the horse."
"Not only that, after Yinggong fell from the horse, he was accidentally trampled by the horse, and his head was injured when he hit the ground, so he broke his leg and fell into coma."
"I ordered a thorough investigation several times, but I couldn't find any signs of man-made damage. I can only think of it as an accident."
Li Qinzai's face turned pale and he pursed his lips and said nothing.
Qi Biheli sighed: "It can only be said that Ying Gong is old after all. When he was strong, such twists and turns would not be a big deal, but this time he failed."
"Grandpa Qibi, have you ever sent someone to deliver a message to the emperor?"
"Sent it off. On the day of the accident, I sent a messenger back to the Tang Dynasty on a navy ship to report urgently to the emperor in Chang'an City. He was probably still on the road at this time. If he waited for the emperor's order, he would have to wait ten more times. How many days."
Li Qinzai had nothing more to ask, so he quickened his pace and walked towards the commander's tent.
The group of people soon arrived at the handsome tent.
Outside the handsome tent, Li Ji's tribesmen were guarding him one after another. Their eyes were red. Seeing Li Qinzai's arrival, the tribesmen seemed to have found a backbone and stepped forward to salute one after another. Choking and sobbing could be heard one after another.
Li Qinzai frowned and shouted: "Cheer up, everyone! People are not dead yet, and they are all crying and mourning. If you don't think it's bad luck, get out!"
The tribesmen hurriedly got out of the way.
In front of the troops, Li Qinzai was not a military commander, but the young master of the Li family.
His words are much more effective than others. The person who cannot be commanded by Qi Bi is Li Qinzai.
Li Qinzai quickly walked into the handsome tent, and the first thing he saw after entering the tent was Li Ji lying on the bed.
There were several doctors beside the bed, sitting opposite each other with gloomy faces. Next to them stood Kono Sanliang, and Xiao Baga also had red eyes. It was obvious that he had cried many times in the past few days.
Li Qinzai walked to the bed and looked at Li Ji lying on the bed, feeling increasingly sad and uncomfortable.
Li Ji only wore a white undershirt, and his face became increasingly thinner, so thin that even the cheekbones on his face protruded. His old face was covered with age spots, and his hair was completely white.
The man was unconscious, and only the slight rise and fall of his chest proved that he was still alive. His right leg was splinted and wrapped in layers of cloth. There were faint scratches and bruises on his body.
Li Qinzai held back his grief, turned to look at the doctors, and whispered: "How is my grandfather doing?"
A doctor sighed and said: "The hero's right leg was broken. It hurts the muscles and bones. It can be cured after a while. What's more serious is that his head hit the ground. There may be congestion inside, so he wakes up and faints. This has been the case for the past few days." in this way."
Li Qinzai frowned and said, "If there is congestion in the brain, why not treat it?"
The doctor smiled bitterly and said: "We are all doctors in the army. We are good at treating the external injuries of soldiers. If we want to treat this intracranial injury, the risk is extremely high. We really don't dare to do it for fear of harming the life of the hero. We will do it later." He has become the eternal sinner of the Tang Dynasty and will never be able to atone for his sins even if he dies a hundred times."
Li Qinzai wanted to get angry, but he endured it after taking a few deep breaths.
Reason told him that the military doctors were right. They were not good at treating intracranial injuries. If he did it reluctantly, it would only hasten Li Ji's death.
"Then we can go find a doctor with excellent medical skills and invite him from Tang Dynasty. Can't you?" Li Qinzai asked again.
The doctor shook his head: "I'm going to Datang from here, even if I don't stop, the round trip will take at least a month. The Lord Ying's injury... I'm afraid I won't be able to wait that long."
"What about the local area? Isn't it possible that the huge country of Goguryeo can't find a wise doctor?"
The doctor murmured: "General Qibi has sent countless scouts to search for horses. It is said that all Baiqisi have also mobilized and are looking for doctors with superb medical skills. However, the other country is in deep war. In just a few days, Today, there is no result yet..."
An evil fire burst out of Li Qinzai's chest, and he couldn't hold it back even if he took a deep breath.
So he hurriedly waved his hand and ordered the doctor and Kono Sanliang to exit the handsome tent.
I am already an adult, and venting anger on others is really not what I should do at this age. Even if I spread evil fire on innocent people, it will not change any facts. It can only prove my incompetence and rage, which is not only meaningless. Instead, you will be criticized and ridiculed.
