Chapter 2309 Li Shen Arrives
When Guo Xiaoke saw his son's panic-stricken look, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
It is said that a dragon has nine sons, each one is different.
But even if they are different, he is still better than his own son.
Prince Ji, who was known as the most dissolute playboy in the Tang Dynasty, was the king of Chang'an City. He cheated, oppressed innocent people and acted in a domineering manner.
He has a bad reputation among the upper nobility and no one says anything good about him.
But even such a person is better than his son.
He has been doing business in Anxi for many years, so he must have confidants in Jiaohe City, otherwise how could he obtain information about the border.
If any general colluded with the enemy or rebelled, he would be the first to know.
He had long been aware of what his son had done, and even received secret reports when Prince Ji came to Jiaohe City to investigate.
"How can you accomplish anything great if you're so flustered? You must remember to remain calm and not lose your composure.
There is nothing in this world that cannot be solved.
Don't worry, your father has made all the arrangements, and everyone who knew about this is no longer around."
Guo Xiaoke comforted Guo Daizhao softly, asking him to remain calm.
"Then Yang Shuo and the others..." Guo Daizhao hesitated to speak.
"They have already died in battle. You must treat their families well when you return. After all, they have followed you for many years."
Yang Shuo is Guo Daizhao's confidant, and has followed Guo Daizhao for many years along with the other two.
He was also on the list for this expedition, but he was under Guo Xiaoke's command.
After hearing what his father said, Guo Daizhao suddenly realized, and he asked why he didn't see Yang Shuo and others.
It turned out that it was his father who helped him deal with the trouble.
"Thank you, Father." Guo Daizhao hurriedly expressed his gratitude. Although he did not think that his confidant would betray him, it is better to be safe than sorry.
Now that Prince Ji has come in to investigate the matter, he must know something, otherwise he would not investigate for no reason.
"You and I are father and son, and I am doing what a father should do for you.
But you must not have any contact with them from now on, otherwise the Guo family will be doomed.
After I leave, no one in the Guo family will be able to protect you from the wind and rain anymore, and you have to grow up.
Remember what your father said, don't get involved with that place, the waters of Anxi Protectorate are too deep, it's better to return to Chang'an and become a rich man."
After Guo Xiaoke finished speaking, he began to breathe heavily.
"Father, father, someone come and find a doctor." When Guo Daizhao saw that his father was about to die, he immediately shouted outside the tent.
The doctor was waiting outside the tent. When he heard Guo Daizhao's call, he came in immediately.
"Doctor, please save my father." Guo Daizhao was extremely anxious.
The doctor came forward to feel Guo Xiaoke's pulse, then checked his wound, and then said to Guo Daizhao:
"Young General, the Grand Protector's injuries are too severe, the wounds are too deep, and he is bleeding too much. Although I have used medicine to stop the bleeding, I still cannot stop it completely.
Especially the wound on the back and the penetrating wound on the shoulder.
If this continues, the Grand Protector might... "
"How could this happen? Don't you have any solution? If you can cure my father, this general will reward you handsomely."
Hearing that his father was dying, Guo Daizhao was extremely anxious and shook the doctor.
"I'm sorry, General. I really can't do anything." The doctor could only shake his head.
"Da Lang, don't make things difficult for the doctor." Guo Xiaoke said weakly.
Just then, the guards outside ran in.
"General, Prince Ji has arrived and is two miles away."
"Prince Ji is here?" Guo Xiaoke and his son Guo Daizhao were both stunned. They knew that Prince Ji had gone to Jiaohe City.
But Jiaohe City is more than a thousand miles away from here, and there is Yanqi in between.
What is this little prince doing here all the way?
"Da Lang, go to the camp gate to welcome him quickly. Don't neglect King Ji." Guo Xiaoke was the first to react and gave the order immediately.
No matter what King Ji comes to do, they have to welcome him and show it in their attitude.
"Yes, Aye." Upon hearing this, Guo Daizhao immediately nodded, stood up and walked out.
He brought his men to the gate of the camp, and after a while, he heard a roar, smoke billowing in the distance, and a cavalry team galloping towards them.
It soon came closer.
"Excuse me, where is His Royal Highness Prince Ji?" Daizhao Guo asked loudly.
The cavalry team split into two sides, making way for a path, and a tall horse walked out from the crowd.
The horse was completely snow-white, with only a black circle on its four hooves. A man sat upright on its back, wearing a silver helmet and armor, holding a 10-foot-long snake spear in his hand.
This man rode his horse close to Guo Daizhao, pushed away his visor behind him, and appeared in front of Guo Daizhao with his handsome face.
But there is still a trace of childishness on this handsome face.
"The king is here, who are you?" This person was Li Shen and his guard battalion who had traveled day and night.
"Your humble servant greets His Royal Highness Prince Ji." Guo Daizhao hurriedly stepped forward to pay his respects. He had met Prince Ji several years ago, but had forgotten about him for a long time.
Li Shen had also met Guo Daizhao, but he simply forgot.
The generals brought by Guo Daizhao also saluted together.
"Excuse me, General Guo is not here?" Li Shen asked after looking around.
"Your Highness Prince Ji, please forgive me. My father...my father is too seriously injured to come and greet you. I hope Your Highness Prince Ji will forgive me."
Thinking of his father's injury, Guo Daizhao felt a little sad.
"General Guo is injured? Take me to see him quickly." Upon hearing that Guo Xiaoke was injured, Li Shen showed a look of worry.
He dismounted, told Xue Rengui to set up camp, and then he brought his personal guards and followed Guo Daizhao to the tent.
As soon as he walked in, the smell of medicine filled the air. The first thing Li Shen saw was Guo Xiaoke lying on the carpet, his face pale and covered in blood.
Li Shen hurried forward.
"General Guo, I'm late," Li Shen said excitedly. His expression was perfectly controlled, showing self-blame, regret, and even apology.
"Ji...Ji...Your Highness Prince Ji." When Guo Xiaoke saw Li Shen, he struggled to stand up and salute.
Li Shen quickly comforted:
"General Guo, please don't stand up. It's just red tape. Don't worry about it."
"Thank you, Your Highness Prince Ji." Guo Xiaoke said weakly.
"How could he be injured so badly? What did the doctor say?" Li Shen turned around and looked at Guo Daizhao.
"The doctor said that my father's injuries were too serious and the wounds were too large. I'm afraid... I'm afraid..." When Guo Daizhao said this, tears welled up in his eyes.
Li Shen immediately understood that the bleeding could not be stopped and he would bleed to death.
Doctors in the military have not received medical school training, so their treatment of trauma is relatively traditional, mainly due to the limitations of medication.
There were no good medicinal herbs. Thinking of this, Li Shen shouted to the back:
"Come here, get the military doctor from the guard camp here immediately."
