In the eighteenth year of Zhenguan, Li Jue, who transmigrated and became the son of the废太子 (cancelled crown prince) Li Chengqian, secretly returned to the longed-for Chang'an from Qianzho...
Li Jue didn't expect the group of people who came to be so weak. He only casually knocked down two of them, and the others turned around and ran away.
Li Jue rode his donkey for two miles, but seeing that he couldn't catch up, he had no choice but to return to Sanglin Village dejectedly.
When he returned, he saw that the two men he had killed were still struggling. Li Jue had an idea and said to his men around him.
"Carry these two back!"
Hu Delu's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he gave Hu a knowing look.
"Understood!"
"The old man immediately ordered his men to carry the two men to the back of the mountain, dig a pit, and bury them!"
"Uh..."
Li Jue was furious upon hearing this.
Do you think this place is an industrial park?!
"We're respectable people, we wouldn't do something like murder and robbery!"
"I mean, carry it back, I'll try to see if I can save it!"
"ah?"
Looking at one of the guys whose intestines were sticking out, Hu Delu thought to himself, "If this guy can be saved, I'll write my name backwards!"
Li Jing and Yuchi Jingde, who had been hiding in the woods watching the commotion, immediately led several guards out when the farce ended.
Upon hearing that Li Jue still wanted to save people, the two of them simultaneously curled their lips.
"Kid, just kill this kind of scoundrel, why bother saving him?"
"Besides, they're injured like this, even a god couldn't save them!"
If the two men were truly fatally wounded, Li Jue wouldn't have gone to such lengths. But in his opinion, their injuries were not serious at all; they hadn't been fatally wounded.
"Let's try to save him. If he survives, wouldn't we have a couple more animals to work with?"
"Uh..."
Yuchi Jingde and Li Jing were taken aback when they heard this, but when they saw the villagers carrying the two ruffians into the village, they followed them without prior arrangement.
"I want to see what can be done when your intestines are spilling out!"
"If he can save him, I'll kneel down and become his apprentice!"
Li Jue ordered his men to carry the two men into the courtyard. First, he ordered them to boil a pot of water, which terrified the two men, who thought they had entered a black market inn and were going to be scalded, skinned, and made into human flesh buns.
"Have mercy, sir! We are not robbers, we are guards from the Princess of Changsha's residence..."
"Good sir, please give us a quick death with one cut, please don't wrap us up in dumplings, waaaaah..."
Seeing that the two men still had the strength to beg for mercy, Li Jue felt much more at ease.
"Don't worry, you two won't die!"
"Can't die?"
Looking at the exposed section of his intestines, Wang Qiang thought to himself that this whole thing sounded like a lie...
His own brother died on the battlefield after his stomach was slashed open and his intestines were exposed!
Otherwise, he would not have become a guard in the princess's mansion if he was a respectable and honest young man!
"Good sir, please stop trying to fool me. I know I was wrong. Please, just give me a quick death, waaaah..."
Amid their pleas, Li Jue threw all the needles and threads into the pot to boil, and then, after thinking for a moment, threw in a piece of fine linen cloth.
In those days, there was no gauze available, so we had to use fine linen cloth instead.
After he finished doing all that, he took out a jar of strong liquor.
This is a high-proof liquor that he deliberately distilled several times during his last distillation.
Although it's uncertain whether it can reach 85, it's better than doing nothing at all.
After finishing all that, Li Jue immediately took his needle and thread and began sewing for the two of them one by one.
"Bear with it, it might hurt a little!"
"Uh..."
Wang Qiang was completely stunned when he heard this. He thought to himself, "My intestines are already exposed, and I still have the nerve to be afraid of pain?"
However, when the needle pierced his skin, he couldn't help but gasp.
"hiss……"
It did hurt a bit, especially when he saw the other person stuff the intestines back into his stomach; he felt like his hair was about to stand on end.
This person is either a living bodhisattva or a living devil!
What kind of legitimate doctor sews up a person like they're sewing clothes?
Even Li Jing and Yuchi Jingde, who were ruthless killers, were shocked by the calm and composed demeanor of the boy when they saw Li Jue calmly mending the two ruffians.
In Yuchi Jingde's opinion, it would be better to just cut these two rascals to death; this patching-up method is too torturous!
One of the more timid children was so frightened that he fainted.
Fifteen minutes later, Li Jue put down his needlework, took out some strong liquor, and poured it on the wounds of the two men…
Upon seeing this scene, Yuchi Jingde was startled once again!
This kid is too ruthless! Killing someone is just a matter of beheading them, but he actually poured strong liquor on their wound. That's going to make them suffer excruciating pain!
"Disciple, that's enough!"
"Killing someone is just a matter of beheading them, why are you torturing them like this!"
"Master Yu, I really was saving someone!"
Upon hearing Li Jue's words, Li Jing immediately turned away, not daring to look at this seemingly harmless fellow. The people of Sanglin Village quickly lowered their heads, or made excuses about being busy at home, and hurriedly fled this living hell.
In short, no one believed he was saving people; they only thought he was angry that killing two people wasn't enough, so he came up with such a vicious way to torture them.
Yuchi Jingde patted Li Jue on the shoulder and said with a sorrowful expression.
"Take your time to save her, I'll take the guards to dig a hole first!"
Why are you digging a hole?
"Of course it's for burying people!"
"They can live!"
"Hmph!"
"Even if he could have lived, he's definitely going to die after what you've done!"
After saying this, Yuchi Jingde picked up the shovel from the corner of the courtyard and left without looking back, accompanied by two guards.
However, as soon as Yuchi Jingde stepped out of the courtyard, he saw Li Shimin, who looked travel-worn, riding a fast horse towards him.
