Chapter 36: Crematorium?!
There hasn't been any major changes, except that his strength is steadily increasing, and he is at an age where he should be gaining strength.
The effect is far more than one plus one being greater than two.
As to whether this change would continue, he had no idea.
Therefore, he regarded this change as a means to save his life, and did not regard it as capital for his dominance.
He knew very well that no matter how brave a person was, it was only the bravery of a common man.
It might be able to influence the outcome of a war involving a thousand people, but it is difficult to influence the outcome of a war involving tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of people.
Once a war involves tens of thousands of people, it becomes a test of wisdom and strategy rather than personal bravery.
The struggles inside and outside the palace are also a battle of wisdom and strategy. There is almost no room for personal bravery to be used, and even if there is, the effect is very limited.
Therefore, he concealed his changes with the purpose of catching the enemy by surprise at the critical moment and thereby buying a moment of respite.
"doctor?!"
Li Yuanji accompanied Qu Tutong and waited beside Yin Qiao's bed for a full hour. Seeing that Yin Qiao's complexion was gradually returning to normal, Qu Tutong hurriedly shouted outside the tent.
After a few breaths, the guards outside the tent brought the doctor into the tent.
After the doctor carefully examined Yin Qiao's pulse, a hint of joy appeared on his face. "Your Highness, Lord Qu Tu, Lord Yin's pulse is gradually recovering. His life is not in danger for the time being."
Li Yuanji's anxious heart was temporarily relieved.
Qu Tutong was still worried. He chased the doctor and asked, "Why is he still not awake?"
The doctor smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Qu Tu, as the saying goes, illness comes like a mountain falling, and goes away like pulling a thread. Mr. Yin is only out of danger temporarily, but if he wants to wake up and recover as before, he must continue to rest and take medicine."
Qu Tutong's brows were furrowed into the shape of a "川" character.
Seeing this, Li Yuanji said slowly: "Since Yin Qiao is no longer in danger of death, you don't need to worry too much. I will send someone to urge the imperial physician to leave as soon as possible.
Once the imperial physician arrives, Yin Qiao will surely wake up."
After hearing what Li Yuanji said, Qu Tutong felt relieved. He bowed to Li Yuanji and said, "Kaishan was able to save my life, all thanks to your highness's generosity."
Li Yuanji waved his hand and said, "It's too early to say this now. It won't be too late to say this after Yin Qiao is completely out of danger."
Qu Tutong nodded and said nothing more.
Li Yuanji felt a little sleepy, but Qu Tutong had no intention of leaving, so Li Yuanji didn't want to leave either.
The two men stayed by Yin Qiao's side all night long.
The next day, when the sky was bright.
Qu Tutong's head trembled and he almost fainted on the ground.
After riding at full speed for a whole day and enduring a whole night, Qu Tutong could no longer bear it.
Li Yuanji was quick to act and supported Qu Tutong when he was about to fall.
Qu Tutong said with an embarrassed look: "I am old and can't bear it anymore..."
Li Yuanji helped Qu Tutong sit steadily and said unhappily, "Go and rest if you can't stand it. Yin Qiao has already fallen down. If you fall down again, no one will protect me.
If anything happens to me, you and Yin Qiao will be in big trouble."
Qu Tutong looked embarrassed, "Your Majesty..."
Li Yuanji didn't wait for Qu Tutong to finish his words and ordered, "Okay, stop saying those polite words and go down and rest quickly."
Qu Tutong glanced at Yin Qiao lying on the bed.
Li Yuanji glanced at Qu Tutong and said unhappily, "I'll guard it!"
Qu Tutong slowly stood up and bowed to Li Yuanji, "Thank you very much, Your Highness."
Li Yuanji did not allow Qu Tutong to be polite, and Qu Tutong did not continue to be polite. After bowing, he staggered out of the barracks.
Li Yuanji stayed alone in Yin Qiao's tent.
During the process, Xie Shufang came in once and reported to Li Yuanji.
"Your Highness, I have already sent people to do the job you asked me to do. In addition, all the troops from Shanzhou have arrived at Hangu Pass, and the troops from Guozhou have also arrived at Hangu Pass."
The troops in Shanzhou are the troops that Li Yuanji will soon lead.
The troops of Guozhou were the left army that Yin Qiao was about to lead.
Yin Qiao is now unconscious, Qu Tutong has just fallen asleep, and the candidate to replace Yin Qiao has not yet been decided, so his troops cannot be ignored.
Li Yuanji pondered and asked, "Has the commander-in-chief appointed a deputy commander of the left army?"
Xie Shufang immediately said, "Your Highness, the deputy commander of the left army is the governor of Huaizhou, Huang Junhan. Huang Junhan is currently gathering troops in Huaizhou."
Li Yuanjiji ordered: "Send a document to the commander's headquarters in my name and ask them to transfer Huang Junhan to Hangu Pass as soon as possible. Then take people to relocate the troops of Guozhou and ask the governor of Guozhou to control the troops of Guozhou and prevent any disturbance."
As for the troops in Shanzhou, Xie Shufang would have deployed them in place without Li Yuanji's orders.
“Yes!”
Xie Shufang agreed and went out to deploy the troops.
Li Yuanji glanced at Yin Qiao lying on the bed and frowned slightly. He was considering whether to give Yin Qiao another dose of medicine.
Li Yuanji summoned the doctor and asked him to take Yin Qiao's pulse again.
After checking the pulse again, the doctor said to Li Yuanji, "Your Highness, the pulse of Lord Yin has stabilized. I believe he will wake up soon. There is no need to stimulate Lord Yin or force him to drink medicine.
Although the stimulation method can solve the urgent problem temporarily, it cannot be used frequently.
Often used to hurt people’s minds.”
Li Yuanji nodded, gave up the idea of continuing to give Yin Qiao medicine, and let the doctor go first.
The doctor said that Yin Qiao would wake up soon, but Li Yuanji waited until noon and saw no sign of Yin Qiao waking up.
At noon, Qu Tutong had slept enough and took over from Li Yuanji.
Li Yuanji returned to his barracks, had a simple meal, and slept until night.
After waking up at night, he washed up and asked a few questions. After learning that Yin Qiao was still asleep, Li Yuanji asked Xie Shufang to prepare some food and brought it to Yin Qiao's tent.
Inside the tent, Qu Tutong had a worried look on his face.
"Yin Qiao hasn't woken up yet?"
Li Yuanji put the food aside, glanced at Yin Qiao lying on the bed, and asked.
Qu Tutong nodded.
Li Yuanji asked again, "What did the doctor say?"
Qu Tutong smiled bitterly and said, "The doctor said that the mountain is stable and will wake up soon."
Li Yuanji glared, is this a quack doctor?
That's what I was told this morning.
Isn't this moment a bit too long ?
"No, take the medicine again?"
Li Yuanji proposed.
Qu Tutong looked hesitant, "The doctor said that I can't get excited anymore, otherwise it will hurt my mind."
"Then wait a little longer..."
Although Li Yuanji had already concluded in his mind that those doctors were quacks, since Yin Qiao's life was no longer in danger, the imperial physician would be here soon and there was no need to rush.
"Let's eat something together."
Li Yuanji picked up the food and invited Qu Tutong to eat with him.
Qu Tutong didn't hesitate to get up and walked to Li Yuanji's table, sat down with Li Ji and ate together.
The minced meat is cooked thoroughly and is perfect for dinner.
Qu Tutong took just one bite and then stared blankly.
Li Yuanji looked suspicious, and then he saw Qu Tutong suddenly stand up and shout, "How dare you!"
Li Yuanji was startled, and then he felt like a thorn in his back.
Li Yuanji dodged suddenly.
Then he saw Yin Qiao staring at him and rushing towards him.
He rushed forward and shouted angrily.
"Evil thief! I will kill you, you evil thief!"
Li Yuanji was shocked. Yin Qiao woke up?
Li Yuanji immediately prepared to take action to subdue Yin Qiao.
Qu Tutong had already rushed to Yin Qiao, holding him tightly with both hands, and shouted in Yin Qiao's ear, "Yin Kaishan! Wake up! His Highness has never meant to harm you! His Highness said those words to wake you up and feed you medicine!"
“…”
Qu Tutong hugged Yin Qiao and shouted several times, and was hit by Yin Qiao's elbows twice.
Yin Qiao's eyes finally regained clarity.
"Brother Qu Tu..."
Yin Qiao murmured and shouted.
Seeing that Yin Qiao had regained consciousness, Qu Tutong slowly let go of Yin Qiao. He ignored the pain in his body and asked Yin Qiao loudly, "Are you awake?"
Yin Qiao didn't say anything, just nodded.
His eyes glanced at Li Yuanji again and again.
Qu Tutong glared at Yin Qiao, and first made Yin Qiao drink a bowl of medicine that he had prepared in advance. After confirming that Yin Qiao would not faint again, he angrily shouted at Yin Qiao, "How dare you murder His Highness?"
Yin Qiao was speechless.
Qu Tutong pointed at Yin Qiao's nose and said, "Your Highness provoked you with words in order to save you. If it weren't for Your Highness, you would have died last night."
Yin Qiao frowned, but still said nothing.
Qu Tutong stared at Yin Qiao and explained the whole story to him.
After listening to Qu Tutong's story, Yin Qiao realized that Li Yuanji was really trying to provoke him, and he did not really have any bad intentions towards his wife and daughter.
Yin Qiao felt guilty, and the breath that supported him to commit the crime loosened and he collapsed to the ground.
Qu Tutong was startled and rushed to help.
Yin Qiao shook his head, moved his body with difficulty, knelt on the ground, and bowed deeply to Li Yuanji.
"Your Highness, I am Yin Qiao, and I thank you for saving my life."
"I, Yin Qiao, have offended Your Highness. I beg Your Highness to punish me."
“…”
When Qu Tutong saw this, he did not go to help.
The grace of saving a life is greater than heaven, and it is only right to show great courtesy.
Li Yuanji looked at Yin Qiao, who was sometimes going crazy and sometimes acting like a praying mantis, and didn't know what to say.
He had stimulated Yin Qiao so much that it was reasonable for Yin Qiao to seek revenge upon waking up.
But what happened just now was really too sudden.
If he hadn't felt the threat and dodged in advance, his neck would have been clamped by Yin Qiao.
Seeing that Li Yuanji didn't speak, Qu Tutong prepared to say something.
"Da da da……"
Suddenly, there was a burst of hurried horse hoof sounds outside the tent.
"Is there an emergency?"
Li Yuanji and Qu Tutong thought subconsciously and looked towards the entrance of the tent.
Normally, no one rides a horse in a military camp.
The sound of horse hooves reached the door of the tent and stopped.
next moment.
A tall and heroic figure appeared at the door of the tent.
As soon as he showed his head, he started shouting.
"How is Kaishan's condition?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he was stunned.
Li Yuanji, Qu Tutong, and even Yin Qiao who was kneeling on the ground, were stunned.
Li Shimin's breathing stopped when he looked at Yin Qiao kneeling in front of Li Yuanji.
Li Yuanji and Qu Tutong held their breath when they saw Li Shimin suddenly appear.
Yin Qiao, who had his back to the door of the tent, was shocked when he heard Li Shimin's voice.
