It was rare for Xiao Baga to say so many careless words to him. It seemed that he had never done so before.
There were political factors and hatred between the country and the family when he was with her, but they lacked the most basic love between a man and a woman.
Li Qinzai always thought that she had succumbed to reality and had to be with him.
Now it seems that he has already entered her heart?
Lying on the bed unable to move, Li Qinzai still showed a confident smile.
Xiao Baga talked for a long time, but didn't hear his voice. She looked up just in time to see his smile.
"why are you laughing?"
Li Qinzai maintained his confident smile for a long time, and then slowly said: "As expected of me, everyone loves me. Yo West!"
Xiao Baga suddenly turned red with anger: "You...they were indeed right."
"Who were they? What did they say?"
Xiao Baga glared at him and said: "They are them. They said you are a bastard... Humph!"
Li Qinzai laughed again, can these words hurt me?
He was about to open his mouth to say something, but Xiao Baga covered his mouth.
"Okay, my husband is seriously injured and has not recovered yet. Recuperate more, talk less, and don't worry about it."
Li Qinzai looked at her puzzled, and then began to think about the inevitable conflict between recuperating and speaking.
"I stay with you every day, waiting for you to drink medicine and eat. Grandpa said that my husband has been recovering from an injury recently and I am afraid that he will not be able to lead the army. Maybe..."
Li Qinzai frowned: "Maybe what?"
Xiao Baga was silent for a moment and said: "Grandpa said that the news that my husband was seriously injured has been sent to Chang'an. Maybe the emperor will be heartbroken and call my husband back to Chang'an from the battlefield."
Li Qinzai opened his eyes wide and his expression suddenly became calm.
Xiao Baga whispered: "My husband's life and death is no longer your business alone. You are very important to the Tang Dynasty, to the emperor, and to the Li family."
"This time my husband was attacked and refused to retreat. He almost died in battle and martyred his country. The few days you were unconscious affected many people's hearts. Grandpa said that General Qibi blamed himself very much and even apologized to the emperor."
"Most of my husband's life has been given to the Tang Dynasty. It is enough. No matter now or in the future, my husband is a great hero of the Tang Dynasty, enough to shine in history."
Xiao Baga said cautiously: "If the emperor really calls your husband back, he will obey. Even if your husband is unwilling to withdraw from the battlefield, you are seriously injured and you really can't mount your horse and lead the army..."
Li Qinzai was silent for a long time and said: "How long did Jin Dayan say I need to recuperate before I can recover as before?"
Xiao Baga whispered: "Doctor Jin said that your husband should rest for at least half a year. During this six months, he can only rest, not get angry, not do strenuous activities, and not..."
Li Qinzai sighed and said: "In short, I will just be a waste for half a year."
Xiao Baga glared at him again and said: "My husband's mouth is so cruel that he won't even let me go. What's the word 'trash'? It's so unpleasant. Serious injuries should be rested. Doctor Jin is right."
Li Qinzai calculated silently in his mind that according to the current progress of the Tang army, it would not take about half a year to destroy Goguryeo, and the result would be almost two to three months.
The 20,000 foreign cavalry who attacked him from behind a few days ago were probably Goguryeo's last trump card for surprise.
Now that this trump card is gone, all that's left is an offensive and defensive battle on the frontal battlefield.
The humiliating city has been conquered, and the capital Pyongyang has been completely exposed to the Tang army's front. The next step is to attack and defend the capital.
After this battle, the war to conquer Goguryeo has basically come to an end. If the capital is captured by the Tang army, some cities in the south of Goguryeo will no longer be in suspense, and the country's strength will be exhausted by this time.
As for the battle to destroy Silla immediately after the destruction of Goguryeo, there seems to be no suspense.
As long as you make up a random reason, it is a good time to send troops. It is even easier to capture Silla than Goguryeo.
Therefore, whether Li Qinzai participates in future wars does not seem to be that important, and he has no interest in proving himself on the battlefield.
The only regret is that this is the final battle of Li Ji's life. It's a pity that he can't witness it in person. It seems to lack a sense of ceremony.
Then Li Qinzai suddenly laughed, what's wrong with being a waste?
Is it because he has been so prominent in recent years that people seem to have forgotten that he is a salty fish to begin with?
The difference between salted fish and trash is just whether it can be turned over or not.
Li Qinzai slowly closed his eyes and said: "No matter what the emperor's decree is, I will obey him obediently. From the battlefield of swords and shadows to the flower-filled Chang'an, who wouldn't be happy?"
"My mother-in-law and children are all waiting for me in Chang'an. They miss me so much that they'd better call me back as soon as possible."
Xiao Baga breathed a sigh of relief. She originally thought it would take a long time to persuade her, but she didn't expect her husband to be so cooperative. He agreed to return to Chang'an without much persuasion.
Even if you don't agree, you can't do anything with your seriously injured body. It's better to go back to Chang'an to recuperate and not cause trouble to the Tang army.
Xiao Baga said happily: "Don't worry, husband, I will serve you wholeheartedly. With me here, your husband's injury will definitely heal quickly..."
His face suddenly turned red, and Xiao Baga shyly whispered: "I am still waiting to give birth to a baby for my husband."
Li Qinzai was startled, and his face suddenly turned red, but it was not because of shyness.
"What's wrong, husband?"
Li Qinzai suppressed his blush and said, "I need to pee."
Xiao Baga hurriedly picked up a chamber pot from the bed, carefully lifted the quilt, and untied his belt.
The two of them are an old married couple, and they are not shy at all. They have seen what they need to see countless times. They not only met each other before, but also appreciated and played with each other. Now this scene can only be said to be trivial.
Seeing how neatly Xiao Baga moves, it's obvious that she has become very skilled in doing this in the past few days.
Li Qinzai warned uneasily: "Control your expression, be sure to respectfully invite it out with both hands, and then send it back with respect."
…………
The days of recuperation were like nothing.
Li Qinzai thought about recuperating from his injuries too easily. He originally thought that he only needed to lie on the bed and not move, while someone would take care of him, such as eating, drinking, and sleeping.
For a salted fish, in theory this should be a dream life.
But in reality, lying in bed motionless would kill you.
Now, he is a disabled person who is paralyzed. He has suffered internal injuries. His internal organs seem to be involved in the slightest movement, and there is burning pain in his chest and abdomen.
These days, Jin Dayan kept adjusting the prescriptions, pouring various unknown medicinal decoctions into his mouth every day, and he also had to be pricked with needles, and his body was covered with various smelly ointments.
Li Qinzai suddenly realized that being a salted fish was not as happy as he imagined.
The salted fish hangs under the eaves, and at least it can turn over occasionally. What about him? Like a poached egg spread out on the pan, one-sided.
