Chapter 37 Misunderstanding! Misunderstanding!
"breathe……"
Li Shimin took a deep breath and forced an ugly smile. "Since Kaishan is safe, I am relieved. The post of Kaishan Left Army Chief will be temporarily taken over by Huaizhou Chief Huang Junhan."
After saying this, Li Shimin left the tent without saying another word.
He left with such determination.
Li Yuanji didn't come back to his senses until Li Shimin had been gone for four or five breaths.
It's cold.
Li Shimin must have misunderstood.
He misunderstood that Yin Qiao was hanging out with him.
Qu Tutong gritted his teeth and looked unhappy.
Yin Qiao knelt on the ground with his head lowered, and his expression could not be seen clearly.
"call……"
Li Yuanji exhaled a breath of foul air and said to Qu Tutong: "General Qu Tu, go and ask my second brother to come back."
Li Yuanji was not afraid of Li Shimin.
He simply didn't want to conflict with Li Shimin.
The few people under his command were not enough to deal with Li Shimin.
Moreover, now he is going into battle with Li Shimin, and Li Shimin is the commander-in-chief. If Li Shimin has any bad intentions and wants to trick him, it would be easy for him.
Qu Tutong nodded and chased after him.
Yin Qiao, who was kneeling on the ground, did not move at all.
Li Yuanji glanced at Yin Qiao speechlessly and said, "Get up..."
Yin Qiao lowered his head stubbornly and said, "Please punish me, Your Majesty!"
Li Yuanji took a deep breath and said, "You were just excited at the moment, so you offended me. I don't blame you. Get up."
Yin Qiao said in a deep voice: "Thank you, Your Highness."
Li Yuanji nodded, said nothing more, and ordered the guards at the door to help Yin Qiao onto the bed.
After Yin Qiao lay on the bed, he said nothing, with a complicated expression, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Li Yuanji didn't bother to ask any more questions. He just waited quietly for news from Qu Tutong.
Qu Tutong did not return to the tent until two incense sticks had passed.
When he saw Li Yuanji, he immediately reported, "After I chased him out, His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin had already left. I led my men to chase him for a while, but still failed to catch up with His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin.
According to the captain that His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin left behind to reorganize the troops in Guozhou, when His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin learned that Kaishan was in danger of death, he immediately dropped all his official duties and rushed here overnight.
And then you saw something you shouldn’t have seen?
Li Yuanji said in his heart.
Since Li Shimin has left.
Then this misunderstanding may not be explained for a while.
Li Yuanji looked at Qu Tutong and ordered, " Write a document and send it to the commander's tent, telling my second brother everything that happened today without leaving out a single detail."
Qu Tutong bowed and said, "Yes!"
Li Yuanji also told Yin Qiao to take good care of his health, and then left the tent.
Since Yin Qiao has woken up , he can drink the medicine by himself and command his subordinates, so there is no need for him to guard him anymore.
As soon as Li Yuanji left the tent, Yin Qiao, who had been lying on the bed in silence, suddenly stood up and asked Qu Tutong anxiously, "Brother Qu Tu, do you think His Highness will misunderstand me?"
Just now, Yin Qiao was unable to speak in front of Li Yuanji.
Li Yuanji had just saved his life, but he cared about Li Shimin's attitude and didn't care about Li Yuanji's feelings. Could Li Yuanji let him go?
Although Li Yuanji has changed in recent days, it does not mean that Li Yuanji is willing to live in peace with Li Shimin.
If Li Yuanji was unwilling to live in peace with Li Shimin, then after Li Yuanji saved him, he would not be grateful to Li Yuanji, but instead would care about Li Shimin's attitude. Li Yuanji would definitely feel resentful.
Qu Tutong said in a deep voice: "It is definitely a misunderstanding. We must write a document as soon as possible to explain everything that happened today and resolve the misunderstanding."
If there was no misunderstanding, Li Shimin would not have left so resolutely.
"is that useful?"
Yin Qiao asked hurriedly.
Qu Tutong pondered and said, "It should be useful..."
should?!
Yin Qiao stared at Qu Tutong.
Qu Tutong smiled bitterly and said, "If His Highness suspects that you have surrendered to His Highness the Prince of Qi, then he will definitely suspect that I knew about it but kept it to myself. After all, we have been together since we left Chang'an City."
Yin Qiao's expression instantly turned very ugly.
Yin Qiao clasped his fists towards Qu Tutong and said, "I am sorry for the injustice done to you, Brother Qu Tutong..."
Qu Tutong sighed and said, "It's not that I feel wronged. It's just a misunderstanding. It will be fine once it's resolved."
Yin Qiao said with a bitter face: "I'm afraid I can't solve it..."
Qu Tutong was stunned for a moment, and asked in astonishment: "Do you regret it?"
Yin Qiao was also stunned for a moment, "What does Brother Qu Tu mean by this?"
Qu Tutong stared at Yin Qiao and asked, "Do you regret paying homage to His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi?"
Yin Qiao's expression changed slightly, "Brother Qu Tu, are you looking down on me? Although I, Yin Qiao, am not good enough, I have not yet reached the point where I would trade favors for money.
I have no regrets paying homage to His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi today.
If there is any conflict between His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi and Your Highness in the future, I, Yin Qiao, will sacrifice my life to repay His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi for saving my life."
Qu Tutong nodded and said, "That's good."
Although Qu Tutong was a Xi person, he also knew what it meant to be indebted to someone as heavy as a mountain and to repay a drop of kindness with a spring.
Yin Qiao would be ungrateful just because he cares about his own status.
Then Yin Qiao is not worth making friends with.
"You don't have to worry about that, Your Highness. I will do my best to explain it to Your Highness. With Your Highness's broad mind, as long as he understands that there is a misunderstanding, he will definitely let it go."
"I'm afraid His Highness won't believe our explanation."
Yin Qiao said with a gloomy expression.
Qu Tutong shook his head decisively, "You have to believe in your Highness. When Yuchi Gong first surrendered, everyone under your Highness's command said that Yuchi Gong could not be trusted, but only your Highness believed that Yuchi Gong could be trusted.
Yuchi Gong lived up to His Highness' trust and saved His Highness from danger many times.
You have been with His Highness through thick and thin for many years, and His Highness trusts you far more than Yuchi Gong does.
Everything that happened today was just a misunderstanding. As long as we explain it clearly, His Highness will definitely believe us."
Yin Qiao lay on the bed doubtfully and said nothing more.
Qu Tutong knew Li Shimin quite well. He felt that with Li Shimin's broad mind, he would definitely let it go as long as he understood the whole story.
If Li Shimin knew the whole story, he would still be suspicious of them.
Or perhaps Li Shimin was resentful of Yin Qiao's display of respect towards Li Yuanji.
Then Li Shimin is not worthy of their loyalty.
"Have a good rest. I will ask someone to get some pens and ink."
Qu Tutong gave Yin Qiao some instructions, then walked to the door of the tent and asked someone to get some writing brush and ink.
After Li Yuanji returned to his tent, he also asked someone to get pen and ink.
Li Yuanji picked up his pen and wrote a document to Li Shimin, explaining everything that had happened today, and instructed Xie Shufang to send someone to deliver it on horseback.
As for whether Li Shimin would believe the document after receiving it, Li Yuanji had no idea.
Just when Li Yuanji was wondering whether Li Shimin would believe it.
The familiar sound of horse hooves rang out again.
The sound of horse hooves came from far away and soon reached where the tents were gathered.
Li Yuanji was stunned for a moment and asked, "Did you realize that this might be a misunderstanding? So you went back?"
Unexpected, but reasonable.
With Li Shimin's brain, it seems a bit unreasonable if he couldn't react to this.
After all, Yin Qiao had followed Li Shimin for quite some time, so he still had some trust in him.
Qu Tutong sent someone to tell Li Shimin that Yin Qiao was in critical condition and unconscious, but when Li Shimin rushed to see Yin Qiao, Yin Qiao had already woken up.
There must be something going on here. As long as Li Shimin calms down and thinks carefully, he will be able to react.
"So I'm worried about this and that, and I'm running to explain it to people. Isn't that a bit stupid?"
Li Yuanji asked himself.
Li Yuanji did not go to see Li Shimin because he knew that Li Shimin would go to Yin Qiao's barracks first at this time.
Then the misunderstanding is explained and a drama of deep love between master and servant is staged.
Yin Qiao's tent.
When the familiar sound of horse hooves rang out, Qu Tutong immediately put down his pen and listened attentively. Yin Qiao, who was tossing and turning in bed, immediately stood still.
Not long after, the sound of horse hooves stopped outside the tent.
Qu Tutong and Yin Qiao held their breath at the same time.
“Shua…”
The tent curtain was lifted, and a familiar, tall and handsome man reappeared in the tent.
"Your Highness?"
Yin Qiao called out in disbelief.
Qu Tutong also looked incredulous, as he had not expected Li Shimin to come back.
"Hahahaha... I just remembered when I got here that I forgot the imperial physician I brought with me on the way, so I went back to get him."
Li Shimin laughed without any embarrassment.
Yin Qiao was very excited.
Qu Tutong was also a little excited.
Li Shimin seemed to have forgotten what he had said when he left, and the same was true for Yin Qiao and Qu Tutong.
"What are you writing?"
Li Shimin approached Qu Tutong without hesitation, picked up the half-written document, glanced at it briefly, and put it back as if he had never seen it. He walked to Yin Qiao's bedside and asked about his health, "I heard that you vomited blood and fainted, so I immediately put down all the government affairs on hand and rushed here with the imperial physician.
Seeing that you have woken up and are in good spirits, I feel relieved."
Yin Qiao immediately explained: "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. If it weren't for the help of Your Highness the Prince of Qi, I would have died long ago."
Li Shimin pretended to be surprised and said, "I didn't know that Silang had such ability."
Qu Tutong said on the side : "I heard from His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi that the prescription he used to treat Kaishan was found in the Treatise on Febrile Diseases that His Royal Highness brought back from Luoyang."
Li Shimin was surprised and asked, "Is this true?"
Qu Tutong and Yin Qiao nodded together.
Li Shimin sighed, "It was the books in Luoyang that saved Kaishan's life. I sent the books back to Chang'an, it was worth it."
Just one sentence wiped out half of Li Yuanji's life-saving grace.
If Li Yuanji heard this, he would probably curse.
Yin Qiao felt sorry for Li Ji and said, "We have to thank His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi for his skillful hand."
Li Shimin nodded and said, "Yes, I should thank Silang. It has been several months since I brought the book back to Chang'an from Luoyang. No one else has discovered the Treatise on Febrile Diseases, let alone learned the prescriptions in it. Only Silang discovered and learned it.
It is clear that Silang has worked hard on this."
At this point, Li Shimin complained, "Were you thanking Silang just now? Just thanking him?"
Yin Qiao hurriedly said, "I will definitely repay His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi for saving my life in the future."
Li Shimin glared, "How can this kind of thing wait until later?"
Li Shimin looked at Yin Qiao and Qu Tutong and asked, "You have been following Si Lang for the past two days. Have you noticed that Si Lang has any needs?"
Yin Qiao and Qu Tutong were stunned.
I thought about it carefully for a while.
Yin Qiao suddenly said, "Before this, I had a horse race bet with His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi, and His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi asked me to give up some of the heads I captured in this battle."
