Fang Er's sudden action caught everyone off guard. Li Shimin, Chai Shao, and the others were all stunned.
However, upon seeing the way they were embracing each other, Li Shimin immediately understood and said with a smile.
"People bumping into each other, killing people? Old Fang the Miser, don't joke with me!"
"Emperor, Emperor, Emperor, blood, so much blood…!"
Wei Zheng suddenly pointed beneath Fang Er's chair, shouting in panic.
"Quick! Quickly send for the true immortal Sun Simiao!"
Li Shimin quickly followed Wei Zheng's finger. Indeed, drop after drop of crimson liquid was steadily dripping, looking exactly like fresh blood!
After a slightly panicked shout to Chai Shao and the others, he hurried forward to check their injuries.
"Don't~ don't move~ it's broken~~"
Fang Er heard his footsteps and quickly stopped him.
To Li Shimin, Fang Er's voice sounded extremely weak, which frightened him greatly. He quickly said, "Good, good, good, I won't move you!"
Fang Er's acting skills couldn't be called bad; they could only be called very bad!
However, in this situation, Li Shimin had lost his composure. Otherwise, as an emperor who came from a military background, he wouldn't have been unable to distinguish the smell of wine from blood.
Looking at the pool of crimson on the ground, Old Li paced back and forth, muttering to himself.
"Old Fang, you can't die!
"Old Fang, who will help me if you die!
"I won't buy helicopters anymore, just live, just live, okay!"
He had no mind to consider the impact on his reputation if Fang Xuanling truly died. He simply didn't want Fang Xuanling to die.
"Hiss~~~"
Suddenly, Fang Xuanling, who was in Fang Er's arms, let out a groan. This instantly invigorated Li Shimin. He hurried forward, looking at Fang Xuanling helplessly.
He wanted to touch him but didn't dare to.
Fang Er had said it was broken just now, but he didn't know who was broken – bone or internal organs.
But looking at the pool of blood on the ground, it was clear that both of them were seriously injured!
It seemed that after he said he wouldn't buy helicopters, Old Fang had caught his breath?
Thinking of this, Li Shimin quickly said again, "Old Fang, hold on! I've already sent for Sun Simiao. Don't worry, as long as you live, I definitely won't buy helicopters!"
"Forget a hundred, I won't buy a single one, as long as you hold on!"
"You, you, you are in charge of the nation's money bag, if you leave, what will I do!"
His voice was extremely sincere, hoping to give Fang Xuanling the motivation to live.
"As long as you can get through this, you can say whatever you want!"
"Cough, cough, cough cough!"
Fang Xuanling reacted again, coughing several times as if responding to Li Shimin.
This made Old Li overjoyed. "There's, there's still hope!"
Fang Er, however, began to complain inwardly about Old Fang. This guy hadn't washed his hair in who knows how many days. His greasy hair, after being doused with red wine and tomato sauce, had an unbearable smell.
He felt that continuing like this was not an option. If Sun Simiao arrived and discovered they were faking it, they would not escape the charge of deceiving the emperor.
Confessing now should be considered surrendering, right?
In any case, Fang Xuanling had already said what he wanted Li Shimin to hear.
So, he let out a sigh of relief and pretended to say, "Aiya! Aiya! Aiyayayaya!
"Lord Fang, your bump nearly killed me. I've been holding my breath for a long time, and now I can finally exhale!"
Li Shimin was stunned. Just now, this guy looked like he was dying, but now his voice was so full of energy?
He quickly looked at Fang Er and asked, "You, you're alright?"
"Cough cough! This minister is fine, it's just that the red wine in my pocket was smashed by Old Fang the Miser!"
As Fang Er spoke, he used his consciousness to smash the red wine bottle he had just put away, then took it out and put it in his pocket.
At this moment, he really dared not move. The sharp glass shards could injure him.
Then Old Fang is...?
Li Shimin was confused. He was almost scared to death just now, but it turned out that only a bottle of red wine was broken.
"It's nothing serious, probably just dazed from the bump."
Fang Er let out another sigh and helped Fang Xuanling up from his embrace, quietly pinching him hard on the waist.
"Ouch~~ Damn it!"
Fang Xuanling, squeezed by the pinch, could no longer keep up the act. With a yelp, he jumped three feet into the air.
Then he rubbed his waist desperately but couldn't say anything in front of Li Shimin.
After a while, he pretended to rub his head and looked at Li Shimin, "Hiss~~
"Your Majesty, I think I just heard you say you weren't buying helicopters. Am I concussed?"
Li Shimin's face stiffened. He froze there. Did he say it or not?
Seeing this, Fang Er quickly added, "Lord Fang, you heard correctly. His Majesty did say he wouldn't buy any!"
Wei Zheng also nodded vigorously from the side, "No, I heard it too!"
Li Xiaogong slapped the table and stood up. "Your ears must be faulty. His Majesty clearly said he wasn't buying a hundred, not that he wouldn't buy any!"
He was eager to equip the Dengzhou Governor's Office with helicopters. How cool and majestic would those things look flying!
Li Ji also stood up in agreement, "I can testify that His Majesty indeed only said he wouldn't buy a hundred, not that he wouldn't buy any!"
Li Shimin quickly seized the opportunity, "Yes, yes, yes, not a hundred, only thirty!"
"No, Your Majesty, you clearly said you wouldn't buy any just now! I heard it clearly!"
Wei Zheng stubbornly argued, not backing down at all.
With Fang Xuanling's bump, he felt his blood boiling.
This was the model for civil officials; they should offer their lives to admonish!
After speaking, he looked at Fang Xuanling righteously, "Lord Fang, rest assured, I support you!"
Fang Xuanling remained silent, mentally calculating how many taels of silver thirty helicopters would cost.
Fifty taels each, thirty helicopters would be fifteen million taels. It seemed acceptable.
Seeing his silence, Li Xiaogong and Li Ji exchanged glances, then stood up and put their arms around Wei Zheng's shoulders.
"Hahaha, Duke Wei, your ears might really have a problem. Let's go, Ninth Uncle will help you cure it!"
With that, the two of them dragged Wei Zheng out.
Not long after, sounds of punches and kicks echoed from the courtyard outside, sounding like flesh hitting flesh!
"Yo~~ I say, Li Ninth Uncle, are you preparing for the future?
"You call me to come first when you know there's a fight? You're too amazing!"
Sun Simiao, who had just arrived in the courtyard behind Chai Shao, saw the three people fighting and chuckled, stroking his beard.
Chai Shao simply pulled him over without explaining anything, thus creating this wonderful misunderstanding.
"Daoist Sun, hurry inside and take a look. Old Fang bumped into Anzhi."
How could Chai Shao have the leisure to watch Li Xiaogong fight? He urged Sun Simiao toward the main hall.
Old Sun then realized that this guy hadn't called him over because of a fight, so he quickened his pace and ran inside.
However, when he entered the hall, he saw both Fang Er and Fang Xuanling standing there hale and hearty, looking somewhat displeased at Chai Shao.
"Old Fang bumped into Anzhi, you bumped into a tree!"
"Aren't you both fine?"
