Chapter 28: Apologizing
When Liu Xiu saw that Li Ji was seriously injured, she did not dare to delay and directly opened the first aid box.
"Generals, please wait outside the door. I need to fetch arrows for Lord Li."
Ye Fan lowered the door curtain and walked out of the house with a few soldiers.
Inside the room, Liu Xiu held a shiny scalpel in his hand and cut Li Ji's left pectoral muscle with a "snap".
A stream of blood spurted out from Li Ji's chest.
"ah!"
Ye Fan and Ye Chen, who were waiting outside the door, suddenly heard Li Ji's scream, and they drew their swords and rushed in.
Liu Xiu pulled out a barbed arrow with great effort . When she saw that the arrow wound was bleeding profusely, she quickly sprinkled hemostatic powder on it.
When Liu Xiu covered the wound with a piece of snow-white gauze, she turned away and was suddenly frightened.
Ye Fan's shining sword was already close to her fair, well-proportioned long neck.
"You, you, what are you going to do?"
Liu Xiu asked intermittently.
She calmed herself down, then pulled out a bandage from the bottom of the medicine box and began to wrap it around Li Ji.
"General Ye, come and help lift me up."
Ye Fan hurriedly dropped his sword, stretched out his arms and hugged Li Ji's upper body.
He moved Li Ji's back off the bed, and Liu Xiu's small hands deftly threaded the thin bandage through it.
After several overlapping, Liu Xiu finally tied the bandage into a slipknot.
She let out a long sigh, and beads of sweat, carrying her body fragrance, rolled down onto the bed.
"Okay, I'll go make him some ginseng soup."
As Liu Xiu spoke, he stood up and walked towards the door.
Li Ji was in a daze and suddenly felt a burning sensation in his chest.
The attribute points rewarded by the system in the morning fermented again, and a stream of warm currents rolled .
He immediately regained consciousness and asked, "Am I not on the parade ground?"
He beat his own brother with fifty military sticks.
He was shocked and broke out in a cold sweat.
Oh no, I was hit by a hidden weapon.
When Ye Fan saw that Li Ji had woken up, he hurried forward.
"Master Li, it was Miss Liu who performed the surgery on you. Look, the hidden weapon is here."
Ye Fan brought a white porcelain plate to Li Ji.
Li Ji took a look and was surprised to find that this arrow was made in a special way, with a barb on the arrowhead.
He was really a little scared. If the arrowhead had entered his heart directly, I, Li Ji, would have said goodbye to my brothers.
After a while, Liu Xiu brought a small bowl of ginseng soup.
"Master Li, it has just been brewed. Please drink it while it is hot."
Li Ji looked at the brown soup and asked in confusion: "What kind of soup is this?"
Liu Xiu replied hurriedly:
"This is ginseng soup. It's made with the old ginseng from Changbai Mountain that my dad brought this morning. It's very useful for replenishing the body after an injury."
Li Ji sighed and said:
"Miss, you may not know that the commander of the Shanzi Camp, Shan Xiongxin, is the one who needs to be replaced the most."
As soon as Li Ji finished speaking, he couldn't stop feeling sad and burst into tears.
"ah!"
"ah!"
"My good brother!"
Ye Fan and Ye Chen were also crying bitterly.
Liu Xiu was stunned.
She hurriedly took out a piece of silk embroidered with orchids and wiped Li Ji's tears tremblingly.
"Master Li, why did you do this? If you knew how much pain I would suffer later, you could have shown some mercy!"
Li Ji twitched and took a long time to speak.
Liu Xiu looked at several teenagers who were about sixteen or seventeen years old and were crying.
She could no longer control her temper and, disregarding her girlish modesty, she began to scream and cry.
For a time, in the trial office, at the end of the Sui Dynasty, a group of heroes and heroines cried loudly for the friendship between brothers and sisters.
While crying bitterly, Li Ji was suddenly startled.
The arrogant look of Luo Xiao, the captain of the Luo Camp, appeared before his eyes.
Something big is going to happen!
He quickly wiped away his tears, put on his clothes and got out of bed.
"Captain Ye, quickly order someone to send this bowl of ginseng soup to Yangshen Hall and watch as Captain Shan drinks it."
Liu Xiu was unable to deal with Li Ji's stubborn temper, so he had to pack the ginseng soup in a food box and give it to a personal soldier.
Li Ji then ordered:
"Arrange two personal soldiers to go to the hill on the right side of the parade ground and cut some brambles."
Ye Fan asked in confusion: "What do you want that for?"
Li Ji said hurriedly, "Go and arrange it quickly, and you'll know when you come back."
Ye Fan hurriedly ordered two of his personal soldiers to take axes and head to the mountain area of the parade ground.
Li Ji ordered his personal soldiers to find a hemp rope about four or five meters long.
Liu Xiu was puzzled, and Ye Fan and Ye Chen were also confused.
When the personal soldiers came to cut the brambles, Li Ji threw his shirt to the ground with a swish without saying a word.
Everyone was startled, and they only heard Li Ji shouting: "Captain Ye, listen to my orders!"
Ye Fan saw Li Ji with his bare chest and bandages wrapped around his body.
He was frightened out of his wits.
Upon hearing Li Ji's command, he knelt on one knee and said, "I am here."
"Take the hemp rope and tie the thorns around my back."
Ye Fan was still hesitating, and then Li Ji raised his hand and slapped him.
Ye Fan had no choice but to do as he was told.
Li Ji carried a thorn stick on his back to ask for forgiveness. He walked in front, while Ye Fan, Ye Chen and a dozen personal soldiers followed behind.
The Case Review Bureau is not far from the Tongshou Yamen.
After half an hour's journey, Li Ji and his companions arrived.
Along the way, the people of the plain were talking about it.
"What's this for? Why is there a thorn tied on your back?"
"This is like asking for forgiveness. To whom should I ask for forgiveness?"
"Who else could it be? Liu Hong, the governor of Pingyuan County."
"Alas, young boy, full of vigor and blood, he doesn't know that disaster is about to happen."
Li Ji was unmoved. He thought that only this move could save the dangerous situation.
I, Li Ji, cannot sit and wait to be killed. I must take the initiative.
As he was thinking, suddenly, he heard crying from the gate of the yamen in front of him.
The gate of the yamen had been opened, and it was surrounded by citizens who did not know the truth.
Li Ji continued to move forward, and the citizens of Pingyuan took the initiative to make way for him.
He walked into the courtyard and was shocked to find that the Luo family's body had been kept in the government office.
Mrs. Luo Sanmei, the wife of the governor, was wearing mourning clothes and was surprised to see Li Ji coming.
She couldn't help but feel angry and evil.
Snapped!
Snapped!
She slapped Li Ji twice in the face with both hands.
When Liu Hong saw this, he quickly stepped forward to support him.
"Madam, calm down. You cannot hit an official appointed by the imperial court."
Luo Sanmei's face was filled with coldness. "I don't care who he is. I'm going to beat him to death today."
Just as she was about to raise her hand to hit him again, Liu Xiu grabbed her.
"Mommy, no more fighting."
"You traitor , don't stop me."
After Luo Sanmei finished speaking, she let out a loud howl again.
Li Ji came in front of Liu Hong and knelt down on his knees.
"Master Liu, please punish me!"
Liu Hong was stunned. "Master Li, what crime have you committed?"
"I was incompetent in commanding the army and did not discipline it strictly. This led to Han Xinling's defeat and Ye Meigui's bloodbath at the execution ground."
As soon as Li Ji finished speaking, Liu Hong thought to himself:
"Master Li, Master Li, this is the crime you admitted. So don't blame me, Liu Hong, for being disloyal!"
Liu Hong had a murderous look on his face, and a cold wind blew from a distance.
The sky was dark with dark clouds, and there was a red light for thousands of miles across the horizon!
