Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3403
Seeing Zhu Suiliang's figure disappearing outside the door, Changsun Wuji drank the tea in the cup silently. The old servant wanted to go forward to refill the tea, but Changsun Wuji waved him off.

"It's late, so hurry up and get on the road when you're ready to stop."

"Here."

The servants were all confidantes who had followed Changsun Wuji for many years, so they didn't say much after hearing what was said, and hurriedly put clothes, shoes, hats and other items into the cage, and also brought some sealed documents.Then several people carried the cage on their backs, each equipped with a horizontal knife, and stood at the door.

Changsun Wuji got up and let an old servant behind him help him put on a mink fur cloak and a mink fur hat on his head. The whole person was wrapped tightly and airtight. Nodding slightly, he walked out of the big tent first.

Outside the tent, dozens of members of the eldest grandson's family were already waiting here, and when they saw the eldest grandson Wuji come out, they all knelt down on one knee.

In the distance, a group of soldiers approached on horseback, Qiu Xiaozhong came to the front first, jumped off the horse back, bowed and saluted: "I will see the Duke!"

Changsun Wuji raised his eyes to see that there was heavy snow falling under the night, dozens of soldiers were kneeling in front of him in black, and there were soldiers patrolling past outside the gate of the camp in the distance.

He has made decisive decisions all his life, and after considering the pros and cons, he will go all out without reservation. However, at this moment, his previously firm will is shaken, and he inevitably hesitates.

After taking this step, there will be no room for change from now on.Either the eldest grandson's family seizes the power of regent, continues its glory for 50 years, and builds the world's most noble family again; or goes to a dead end, loses a lot, and then the blood heirs will be cut off, and the ancestral temple will collapse...

However, the current situation is such that the Changsun family has taken the current situation step by step, and it is already indestructible. If you don’t think about making progress and be content with the status quo, you can only wait for this war to bear the responsibility and suffer unprecedented suppression. When the crown prince ascends the throne in the future, the Changsun family will be completely reduced As a vassal, the descendants were tortured and killed like dolphins.

With his heart and nature, how could he be willing to be captured and killed without a fight?
Since there is a dead end to being content with the status quo, how to fight for a chance to turn the world around and bring the dead back to life?

Taking a deep breath of the cool air, his chest and abdomen seemed to be frozen for a moment, making Changsun Wuji think clearly. He slightly nodded at Qiu Xiaozhong, and said in a deep voice, "Let's go!"

"Here!"

Qiu Xiaozhong got up and got on the horse together with the soldiers behind him, waited until Changsun Wuji and his soldiers all got on the horse, then he was engulfed in the middle of the team, and the group rode out of the camp.

After walking not far in the wind and snow, they saw a group of patrolling soldiers approaching, stopped Qiu Xiaozhong and his party, and asked why they left the camp in the middle of the night?
Qiu Xiaozhong explained that he would lead his troops to attack the city tomorrow, but the army lacked arrows, so he had to go to the rear army overnight to carry the arrows, and took out the arrow payment list issued by the rear army.

The patrol soldiers did not doubt that he was there, and Qiu Xiaozhong was a general in the army, naturally some ordinary military discipline could not be applied mechanically to him, so he was let go.

A group of soldiers and horses crossed half of the Tang army camp in the snowstorm. Along the way, they encountered patrolling soldiers and interrogated them, and they easily covered them up.

The eldest grandson Wuji in the team looked at such a rigorous investigation, and he also admired Li Ji's military management skills in his heart. If Qiu Xiaozhong hadn't covered him this time, he would never have left the barracks without anyone noticing...

Half an hour later, the team passed through the barracks, and the mountains ahead were filled with wind and snow. Qiu Xiaozhong cupped his hands on his horse and said, "Young Master, the journey is dangerous, please take care."

He didn't know what scheme Changsun Wuji had, and why he left the barracks and returned to Chang'an at such critical moments as His Majesty was seriously injured and the army attacked the city, but he could vaguely guess in his heart.

He usually doesn't have much contact with Changsun Wuji, but his private interests are intertwined, so he is willing to take risks to escort Changsun Wuji.If the eldest grandson Wuji achieves great things in the future, he will also benefit from it. Compared with it, taking some risks now is insignificant...

Changsun Wuji also clasped his fists on the horse's back to return the gift: "Thank you general for sending me this time. I will keep this friendship in my heart and repay it later!"

Qiu Xiaozhong smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you are welcome! The mountains are high and the waters are far away, take care all the way!"

Although this place has left the Tang army's camp, no one can guarantee whether there will be scouts coming and going. If someone bumps into him, he will be guilty of a serious crime.Therefore, after a few words of politeness and won the favor of Changsun Wuji, he hurriedly left and returned to his camp.

Changsun Wuji led his servants and marched northward against the wind and snow.

This road is indeed as "high mountains and far rivers" as Qiu Xiaozhong said, and it was very cold and snowy, and it was difficult and dangerous to avoid the Tang army stationed along the way.However, Changsun Wuji not only didn't have the slightest fear of difficulties, but his blood boiled in his chest.

Just think about how I will prepare for major events after I return to Chang'an, and push the eldest grandson's family to the pinnacle of glory again, and I will become a lifetime hero who is admired by all people in the world, and the impulse that has disappeared for many years has returned to my body.

How can a man be afraid of difficulties and be content with the status quo, waiting for the loess flying dust to slowly decay with the grass and trees?
*****
In the wind and snow at night, Zhu Suiliang returned to his tent without lighting the lamp. After dismissing the waiter, he put the brocade box in his hand on the coffee table beside him, and sat alone in the darkness, listening to the whistling wind outside the tent. , The sound of hooves bursts, the waves in the chest rise and fall, and the thoughts are not in place.

He raised his hand and rubbed his face, but found that his legs were numb from sitting for a long time.While rubbing his legs, he let out a long sigh.

In the past, he always thought that he was very talented. Since he was able to lead the world in calligraphy and poetry, even if he entered an official career, he would be able to do a job with ease. What he lacked was just an opportunity.

To this day, he still has lingering fears about the intrigues in the officialdom. That kind of ruthless and ruthless struggle often makes people lose their conscience and morality, and they have to face life and death choices anytime and anywhere.However, once you enter the officialdom, it's as deep as the sea, and it's easy to get in, but you can't help yourself if you want to quit.

He didn't want to take this step, but Changsun Wuji had already analyzed the pros and cons of it clearly, whether it was persuasion or intimidation, in short, he had no turning back now.

It is true that one step forward is an abyss, but if you step back, it is also a deep ravine, and if you fall, you will be smashed to pieces.

There was darkness in the tent, Zhu Suiliang sat for a long while, then got up, opened the brocade box in front of him, fumbled from it, took out a pill the size of a fingernail and pinched it in his palm, then let out a long breath, determined his will, turned around and left The camp tent came to the Chinese army tent not far away.

There were candles burning in the big tent, and the imperial physician was massaging His Majesty Li Er's legs to prevent blood clogging and tendon atrophy. Seeing Zhu Suiliang walking in, he stopped the massage and bowed in salute.

Zhu Suiliang stepped forward to have a look, and asked, "Has Your Majesty ever taken any medicine?"

The imperial doctor said: "The decoction has just been decocted and it is a bit hot. I will wait for the decoction to cool slightly before serving Your Majesty to drink it."

Zhu Suiliang nodded, glanced at the medicine bowl on the table beside him, and said: "It's late, and you've been tired all day, you might as well go and have a rest, I'll serve His Majesty to take the medicine."

The imperial physician hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "So, I'll take care of the Huangmen."

Zhu Suiliang squeezed out a smile, and said softly: "It is our duty to serve His Majesty, and it is our honor."

The imperial doctor hurriedly said: "It should be so!"

After speaking, he came to the desk from the side of the bed, put his medical skills, silver needles and other items into a medicine box, then carried the medicine box on his back, cupped his hands and said, "Your majesty, go to rest for a while. In any case, the Zhuhuang sect only needs to shout at the door, and the subordinate officials will come immediately!"

Zhu Suiliang nodded and said, "It's up to you."

The imperial physician nodded in greeting, opened the tent door and walked out.After walking a few steps, he turned back and stood quietly in the shadow behind the tent door, letting the snowflakes fall on the top of his head and shoulders, motionless.

In the tent, Zhu Suiliang stepped forward, stood by the bed and looked at His Majesty Li Er who was breathing evenly with his eyes closed, his heart was ups and downs.

Non-vegetation, ruthless Practice makes perfect?
These years, His Majesty Li Er loved his talent, recruited him to be an official and a nobleman, even when he made a mistake, he would protect him, love the place of shelter, there are few people in the court who are as good as...

But what is the difference between what I am doing now, like the poison of a snake and a scorpion?
After a long time, just now he gritted his teeth, turned around and came to the table, and put the pill in his hand into the medicine bowl, the pill melted in the water, and melted into the medicinal soup in no time.

Holding the medicine bowl, Zhu Suiliang came to the bed, knelt on the ground, raised the medicine bowl above his head, and said softly: "Your Majesty, I will serve you to take the medicine."

After saying that, hot tears flowed from the eyes.
