Li Daoxuan was a descendant of the clan, and he was not yet married, so Chai Shao accompanied him straight into the backyard.
"Third sister, you look much better." Li Daoxuan said with a smile, "Thanks to Huairen's skill."
Princess Pingyang, who was leaning on the couch, smiled bitterly and said, "My hands and feet are still weak."
"Recovering from a serious illness, recovery will naturally be slower." Li Daoxuan advised: "In two months, birds and beasts will be everywhere, and I am about to meet Third Sister riding and shooting again."
Princess Pingyang smiled and stretched out her hand to tap Li Daoxuan, "It's still the same temper as before. Sanhu was scolded by his father for this."
Among the clan members, those who liked hunting the most were Li Shimin and Li Yuanji, followed by Li Daoxuan... However, Li Shimin had unrivaled military exploits and Li Daoxuan won a great victory in Hebei, so only Li Yuanji was scolded.
In the early years in Jinyang, Li Daoxuan was still young and was usually taken care of by Li Shimin and his wife. Princess Pingyang, who was not yet married, taught riding and archery... Therefore, Princess Pingyang was not actually ranked third among the royal children, but Li Daoxuan was called the third sister after Li Shimin and his wife.
.
"Why don't you see Huairen today?" Li Daoxuan looked around and found that Li Shan had always been by Princess Pingyang's side during the previous two visits.
"It's gotten much better these days... Huairen just sent Princess Qin off on my behalf."
"Second sister-in-law is also here?" Li Daoxuan said with a smile: "Huairen set up a wounded barracks in Guantao County that day. He took care of her carefully and meticulously. I believe that third sister will be able to ride a horse in the summer."
Princess Pingyang's appearance is not considered beautiful, she is just delicate, with sharp facial lines, but her smile is quite gentle, "Li Langjun is indeed delicate and has a good temper."
The scene was quiet for a moment. Chai Shao and Li Daoxuan looked at each other, both of them not sure how to answer this sentence.
The Li Shan that Princess Pingyang saw was indeed good-tempered... That was Li Shan who transformed into a nurse. That's no good. In this era, there are doctors but no nurses.
Last year, a small group of rough-and-tumble nurses were trained in Shandong... but they were not allowed to enter Princess Pingyang's backyard.
And what Chai Shao saw was Li Shan, Li Shan in doctor mode... In hospitals in later generations, there were many nurses with good tempers, but doctors with good tempers, tsk tsk, were too rare.
Even if his temper is not bad, he is still cold enough... Chai Shao remembered that day, when the Crown Princess, Princess Qin, and Princess Qi all arrived, Li Shan still looked cold and did not even salute.
Li Daoxuan knew much more about Li Shan than either of them. After returning to Chang'an, he talked to Li Shimin and his wife twice. He heard about Changlepo and Yuchi Baolin being knocked unconscious... but it was the same as in Shandong.
His behavior style is consistent, he looks kind-hearted, but at critical moments he is decisive and murderous.
Just think about Shi Wanbao’s fate.
After a few vague words, Li Daoxuan asked casually, seemingly unintentionally: "By the way, just now I saw Ma Sanbao limping?"
"Did he fall from his horse?"
Chai Shao on the side laughed and said: "That was because Huairen followed... That day, Sanbao was impatient and was knocked down by that man. These days, he often asks for advice, but every time he is disgraced."
Li Daoxuan was startled, "Is it Su Dingfang?"
Seeing Chai Shao nodding, Li Daoxuan smiled and said: "Although Brother Su is not well-known, he has unparalleled martial arts and a deeper understanding of the art of war."
Chai Shao was a little surprised, "Is that so impressive?"
"Liu Heitao attacked Guantao twice, and Su Dingfang fought three times. Each time hundreds of cavalry swept outside the city. If tens of thousands of Turkic troops hadn't suppressed the battle, Liu Heitai would have been defeated." Li Daoxuan clicked his tongue and said: "Houwei County, Yongji
In both battles, Su Dingfang commanded Ruoding..."
Chai Shao was also familiar with Li Daoxuan in his early years and couldn't help but smile: "Aren't these two battles your work?"
"I was full of resentment that day, and I only knew how to charge forward." Li Daoxuan did not shy away from it. It had been several months, and the details of the war in Hebei had long been spread. "Huairen has been going south since he went to Bo, and every time he was in danger, Huairen planned and used it. When Su Dingfang went into battle, he was invincible and never lost."
"By the way, that day at Liting in Beizhou, there was a blockade in front and a pursuer behind. Huairen decided to attack at night. Su Dingfang led 300 cavalry to break through the camp, killing more than a thousand enemies and burning all the food and grass."
Liu Jun and Xue Zhong had already told Li Daoxuan in detail about the battle in Beizhou, and the latter now described it in detail... Chai Shao couldn't help but feel moved, "With such meritorious service, if he joins the army, he will at least be a general!"
"I'm afraid Su Dingfang may not be willing to join the army." Li Daoxuan said with a smile: "Huairen is very kind to Su Dingfang."
"Huairen went south from Xiabo. On the way, he saw Turks looting villages. He was indignant and came to his aid. Brother Su and his mother were shot with sharp arrows in their stomachs."
"Huairen used a sharp knife to perform a disembowelment to save Su's mother... Su Dingfang promised to be a slave to the Li family that day."
"But Huairen regards him as a brother... So, how can Su Dingfang be willing to abandon him?"
Princess Pingyang praised: "One person is benevolent and the other is righteous."
Chai Shao felt a little regretful, "Su Dingfang is good at riding and shooting, has courage, and knows the art of war. If he can join the army, he will achieve great things."
Regarding Su Dingfang's arrangements, Li Daoxuan also asked Li Shan...the latter also told him frankly that he had never thought of keeping Su Dingfang under his command.
But now that the government is in chaos, the relationship between Su Dingfang and Li Shan is too deep, much deeper than the relationship between Su Dingfang and Ling Jing, and it is not appropriate to become an official at this time... Anyway, there is Ling Jing in front of him.
Chai Shao was still there feeling regretful, but Princess Pingyang thought deeply for a moment and looked at Li Daoxuan with suspicious eyes... There was something mysterious about what this cousin said today.
Su Dingfang received Li Shan's great kindness and willingly joined the Li family, following Li Shan and doing his best.
Now I have also received great kindness from Li Shan... Of course Princess Pingyang knows that although it was recommended by Prince Li Jiancheng, Li Shan, who has made great achievements in the Shandong war and is the top Jinshi, can escape this disaster... Although it will inevitably happen in the future The official career is difficult.
In the East Palace, the King of Qin seizes the legitimate heir, and Prince Li Jiancheng recommends Li Shan... To put it mildly, it's just a matter of having dates and not having dates, but you won't suffer any loss anyway.
Because of this, Princess Pingyang was most grateful not to Prince Li Jiancheng but to Li Shan for being able to return to the earth from the gate of hell this time.
Princess Pingyang couldn't help but wonder in her heart, what did Li Daoxuan mean by these words... Are they to remind me not to forget Li Shan's great kindness?
After chatting for a while about the topic just now, Li Daoxuan coughed twice and said, "I heard that Shi Huaixun came to visit yesterday?"
Princess Pingyang squinted her eyes and nodded slightly, sighing: "Shi Wansui was a famous general of the Sui Dynasty, and Shi Wanbao was also a veteran on the battlefield. Unexpectedly, he was unwise..."
Li Daoxuan sneered: "That day when my younger brother rushed into battle, I looked back and saw that Shi Wanbao was holding back. Shi Huaixun actually had the nerve to show up for such a crime?!"
Chai Shao frowned. Shi Wanbao and Li Shentong, the king of Huai'an County, gathered troops in Guanzhong. They were all under the command of Princess Pingyang. They were considered old troops.
"Shi Wanbao committed suicide out of fear of his crime. He was deprived of his title after his death. Both of his sons were serving as officials... Why did Dao Xuan need to kill them all?"
Li Daoxuan snorted, "Kill yourself out of fear of crime?"
"That day, it was my younger brother who personally beheaded him!"
"What?!" Chai Shao was shocked, "You..."
After a moment of silence, Princess Pingyang waved her hand tiredly and said: "No matter what the reason, sitting back and watching the friendly troops be trapped is an unforgivable crime... Daoxuan's move is nothing wrong."
Chai Shao was silent for a while, "Pingyang, let's have a rest. If Dao Xuan doesn't mind, please drink in the front yard."
"No need, Third Sister, please rest in peace." Li Daoxuan stood up and emphasized his tone, "Third Sister, I cut off Shi Wanbao's left wrist first and then decapitated him with a knife."
Seeing Li Daoxuan striding out of the door, Princess Pingyang closed her eyes, and after a while she whispered softly: "Sichang, Daoxuan today... seems to have a deep meaning."
"That's true, I just don't know its purpose."
"Go and ask..." Princess Pingyang's mind suddenly changed, "Remember that Guantao Ling is from the Cui clan in Qinghe..."
Chai Shao squinted his eyes and nodded slightly, and was about to go out when the maid outside came to report.
"Princess, Li Langjun is out to see you and is packing his luggage. He seems to be leaving."
Princess Pingyang did not open her eyes, but shook her head slightly.
