Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

Chapter 851 Please Kill Me With This Sword

Liu Bei was content with enjoying himself and didn't want to see Li Ji?

Only Jiang Gan would believe it.

However, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, who had served Li Ji for many years, knew very well the relationship between Liu Bei and Li Ji.

You only need to know that Crown Prince Liu Chan called Guan Yu and Zhang Fei uncles, and only called Li Ji his second-father, and you can get a glimpse of something.

Whenever they had some free time on weekdays, Liu Bei and Liu Chan, father and son, had a highly consistent hobby, which was to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Just when Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong were about to say something, Guo Jia, Xu Shu and Sima Yi tacitly stood in front of Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong.

One of them was holding a gourd and drinking as if nothing had happened, one of them looked sad but without a single tear, and one of them had a face full of worry but said nothing.

Almost instantly, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, who were originally unaware of the situation, understood what was going on. They followed the example of Guo Jia and the other two and pretended to be deaf and dumb, pretending that they knew nothing.

This small change in position was not noticed by Jiang Gan, and even if Jiang Gan saw it, he might not understand the tacit understanding between these fellow disciples.

Li Ji's silence seemed like the calm before the storm.

The next moment, Li Ji raised his head, drew the sword given to him by Liu Bei from his waist, and shouted.

"Today I must see the king. If anyone tries to stop me, please kill me with this sword."

After saying that, Li Ji threw the sword to the ground, and it went two inches into the bluestone and stood in front of Li Ji.

Immediately, Li Ji swung his sleeves and strode into the palace.

Not to mention drawing their swords against Li Ji, these guards didn't even have the courage to get close to Li Ji, for fear that the prime minister, who was famous all over the world and respected by all the people, would suffer some harm.

That was how it was. Almost every time Li Ji took a step forward, the guards who were blocking the way had to take a step back. Eventually, they were forced to make way, leaving Li Ji with his sword standing at the gate of the Prince of Han's mansion.

Jiang Gan was fascinated by this scene and impressed by Li Ji's proud and courageous character as a scholar.

It was not until he saw Li Ji was about to walk away that Jiang Gan woke up from his dream and hurried to catch up with him.

The next moment, Xiahou Bo unsheathed the Han sword at his waist and placed it on Jiang Gan's neck, and spoke coldly.

"Anyone who trespasses into the Han Palace will be killed."

"I, I am Jiang Gan, the chief secretary of the Prime Minister. How dare you not..."

Before Jiang Gan could finish his words, he felt a slight pain in his neck, as if his skin had been cut.

Suddenly, Jiang Gan became intimidated, realizing that if he dared to be tough any more, he might end up in bloodshed and have to wait for the Prime Minister to come out and collect his body.

Immediately, Jiang Gan raised his hands to show his attitude without any instruction, and then slowly stepped back step by step until he reached the steps of the gate of the Prince of Han's Palace. Only then did Xiahou Bo retract his sword.

However, Xiahou Bo did not close the door of the Prince of Han's Palace.

There was no other reason. Li Ji's sword was still stuck in the gate. Unless the sword was pulled out, the gate could not be closed.

But no one dared to draw Li Ji's sword, and some even consciously kept a distance of more than half a meter from the sword.

At this moment, Jiang Gan, who was standing outside the Prince of Han's Mansion, was extremely anxious. While he was expecting a more intense conflict between Li Ji and Liu Bei, he also had some concerns that he had not yet noticed.

Two incense sticks of time passed by unknowingly.

Just when Jiang Gan, Guo Jia, Xu Shu and Sima Yi were so anxious that they couldn't help discussing countermeasures, there was finally movement in the palace.

Two guards came out carrying a figure covered in blood.

"Prime Minister!"

While Jiang Gan was still in a daze, Sima Yi suddenly shouted to the sky and rushed towards Li Ji.

Xu Shu and Guo Jia also reacted quickly. Guo Jia seemed unable to bear the blow and fainted on the spot.

Xu Shu's face flushed with anger, he drew his sword, and shouted as if he was ready to fight to the death. "What did you do to the Prime Minister?"

The bodyguard who followed out spoke in a deep voice.

"Prime Minister Li Ji has committed crimes by repeatedly speaking disrespectfully and has been caned 30 times. He is ordered to return home and reflect on his mistakes for a month."

After a pause, the guard wiped his tears and whispered quickly.

"Hurry up and help the Prime Minister back home. Send someone to invite a doctor to treat the Prime Minister. Don't let the Prime Minister have any hidden illness."

For a moment, everyone, who had just woken up from a dream, did not care about anything else and hurried forward to take Li Ji back home.

Among them, Xu Shu was the fastest and carried Li Ji on his back.

The rest of the disciples were also eager to protect their teacher, and they surrounded Li Ji, making it impossible for Jiang Gan, who was a little slow to react, to squeeze in.

However, from afar, I could see blood dripping from the back of Li Ji's clothes, and large areas of his clothes were almost torn.

Jiang Gan realized that Li Ji was probably really being punished with a stick, and it was a harsh punishment of thirty sticks.

If he were a military general, perhaps it would not be a big deal for him to bear it.

Many scholars with weak bodies would at least lose half their lives after being hit like this.

More importantly, Liu Bei also ordered Li Ji to return home to reflect on his mistakes for a month, which was undoubtedly placing Li Ji under house arrest.

Unconsciously, Jiang Gan slowed down his pace and watched Li Ji being hurriedly sent back to the Prime Minister's Mansion. What he was thinking in his heart was...

'Things are going to change!'

There is no doubt that Li Ji's influence is great.

Liu Bei not only punished Li Ji with a stick, but also put him under house arrest. This was undoubtedly an attempt to deprive Li Ji of his position as prime minister, but he was afraid that it would cause drastic shocks in the court, so he was testing the reaction in this way.

It is conceivable that Li Ji and a large number of civil and military officials who are closely related to Li Ji will inevitably oppose it, and it may even turn into civil strife.

"This matter must be reported to the King of Wei as soon as possible, so that the King of Wei can make plans early."

Seeing that the situation was in chaos and no one was paying attention to him, Jiang Gan simply turned around and did not rush into the Prime Minister's Mansion. Instead, he quickly returned to the mansion to deliver the secret letter.

And when Jiang Gan delivered the secret letter, he hurried to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Zhang Zhongjing and Hua Tuo had already arrived and were treating Li Ji in the house.

Li Ji's wife, daughter and a group of his disciples gathered outside the house, all with expressions of grief and anger on their faces.

After a while, Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing came out, sighed slightly, and reported to Zhao Ji.

"The Prime Minister is seriously injured, and his spine is injured. We have stopped the bleeding and applied medicine for him, but the situation is still not optimistic."

"What? You two are known as miracle doctors. Please save my husband. He has worked hard for the Han Dynasty all his life. He should not end up like this." Zhao Ji said with tears in her eyes.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present had tears in their eyes, and even Jiang Gan couldn't help but feel sorry for Li Ji.

Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing looked at each other, and as they recalled the various separations and deaths they had experienced in the past, they spoke separately with sad faces.

"I will do my best to save the Prime Minister's life, but I'm afraid it will be impossible for the Prime Minister to walk again in the future."

"I will do my utmost to ensure that the Prime Minister can survive these ten days of danger and wake up safely."
