Chapter 20 Eyebrows and Eyebrows
"The order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker. When will it be your turn to decide your own marriage?"
Li Shimin sighed slightly, and then drank the mutton Geng in two bites. Then put the bowl that the two of them had eaten dry and wiped clean into the food box.
When he walked out of the tent with the food box, he saw Guanyin, standing on a hill ten zhang away, looking out at the river not far away. The snow-white clothes floated slightly in the night breeze, lining this girl with an endless face and posture, as if she had descended from the earth.
This made Li Shimin lose his mind slightly, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he recovered after a while, and hurriedly walked towards the girl.
"The night is dewy, innocent sister, why are you standing at this outlet?"
After approaching, he seemed to have a cloud of sorrow lingering on the pretty white face of Guanyin.
The latter didn't wake up until this moment, when she found that Li Shimin had already taken a step away from her. Guanyin's face suddenly turned slightly red, "Brother Pilusha...."
"Why are you in a daze here? Don't freeze. β
Li Shimin smiled faintly and handed over the food box: "Sister Wujian has good skills, and the soup is also very warm, thank you!"
"It's good to be able to match Brother Viruja's taste,"
After Guanyin took the food box, her expression was solemn, and she bowed solemnly to Li Shimin: "Actually, this time I came to thank Brother Erlang for saving my uncle and brother!"
Li Shimin was taken aback, and subconsciously wanted to reach out to help, but the girl in front of him had already bowed to the ground one step ahead of him.
Li Shimin had no choice but to dodge away.
"Guanyin, what are you going to do? Do you want to break your Erlang's brother's life, hey, this is too vicious. The ancients did not deceive me, and it was indeed the most poisonous woman's heart. β
When Guanyin heard this, she couldn't help but laugh, but she was still meticulous and bowed three times to Li Shimin: "Brother Vilusha's great kindness, Guanyin may not be able to repay her in this life." Today can only be thanksgiving, and then remember it in our hearts for the day to come. β
"It doesn't have to be that way. β
Li Shimin smiled bitterly, looking helpless; "It is said that it is a life-saving grace, but it is a bit excessive." Li Mou also saved himself that night, and then used Uncle Gao Shi's superb magic power and Wuji's martial arts cultivation. As long as you can be ruthless, it is not difficult to get out, in fact, the eldest grandson sister really doesn't need to care. You and I are two families, and we should help each otherβ"
However, before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Guanyin: "Brother Virusha, you may have heard about my family's situation. My brother and sister lost their father when they were young, and then they were abandoned by their eldest brother and expelled from the house. β
The girl's eyes were gloomy, and she said to herself: "For me, my uncle and brother are the closest people in my life, and they are also the heaven of Guanyin, the only pillar and support I can rely on in this world, so that night, seeing the two of them surrounded by bandits, Guanyin really felt that the day was about to collapse." Desperation is indescribable. β
Li Shimin was silent, he knew a little about the affairs of the eldest grandson's family. If Gao Shilian and the eldest grandson Wuji really died in battle that day, then the eldest grandson at this time would be innocent, and his fate would be compared to duckweed in the water, helpless and lonely.
"So Brother Virusha, I guess I can also understand Guanyin's mood, right?"
In Guanyin's pure pupils, there was a ghostly light: "Brother Vilusha of the day, but he helped me hold up this piece of heaven! In this world, there is no greater kindness than this." β
But then she looked gloomy: "But I also know that with Brother Vilusha's great talent, Guanyin may not have a chance to repay in her life." This is the only way to express gratitude. β
The young man in front of her, although he didn't know why, wanted to put that peerless edge in the sheath.
But Guanyin knew that Chu Guogong's evaluation of Li Shimin was never wrong.
Able to fight well, brave and strategic, and open-minded, magnificent. His talent is like a dragon leaping and a phoenix, not inferior to the martial king of Lanlingββ
Such a character will definitely spread his wings and soar high in the sky in the future, and be with the Kunpeng Divine Dragon. It's definitely not that she, a weak woman, can reach.
At this moment, Li Shimin felt his heart pounding, and he was looked at by Guanyin's sincere and focused gaze. He only felt that his face, which should have been as thick as a city wall, actually began to heat up for the first time, and his heartbeat was constantly accelerating.

Two days later, the eastern capital of Luoyang City was finally in sight.
Luoyang was called Luoyang in ancient times, Xi'an, Luoyi, Luoyang, Luojing, Jingluo, etc., in ancient times, Xia, Shang, Zhou, Han, Wei, Jin and other dynasties, all built their capitals here, because they were named according to the Yang of Luohe,
However, the ancient Luoyang of the Han Dynasty has long disappeared in this era. Today's eastern capital Luoyang is the first year of the great cause, when today's son is based on the capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty, more than one million men are transformed and built.
The whole city is about 19 miles wide from east to west, about 17 miles long from north to south, and the city wall is six zhang wide and about five zhang high, and there are one hundred and three li fangs in it. The scale is huge, and the grandeur is abnormal, second only to Xijing Daxing (Chang'an).
The Son of Heaven believes that here, the south is to Yique, and the north is to the mountain. It is the center of the world, so it insists on moving the capital from Daxing City to here.
For this reason, nearly one million strong men were also sent to dig trenches, from the east of Longmen to Changping and Jijun, to Qingguan, to the river, to Junyi, Xiangcheng, to Shangluo, in order to set the customs defense. With a ditch hundreds of miles long to sanitation Luoyang, you can resist the Turks in the north, guard against Shandong, and control Xiangshu in the south.
Li Shimin and his entourage entered the city from the north of the 'Hui'an Gate', but they saw that there were very few people entering and leaving this gate, which was very different from the usual situation of rubbing shoulders and crowding people.
Li Xuanba was curious, and asked the captain of the city gate who was on duty today, only to know that today was the period when Emperor Yang of Sui drove north and swore to go on the expedition, so the whole Beijing was under martial law. And many of the people of the city also rushed to the east gate to pay homage to the holy car.
And just after entering the city gate, Gao Shilian and the eldest grandson Wuji said goodbye to the Li Shimin brothers.
Their family lives in Yujifang, and the Tang Guogong Mansion is located in Shangshanfang, where the world's wealthy families live, not all the way.
Just as they were parting, Li Shimin glanced at a carriage next to him without a trace, only to see the curtains flickering, and the girl inside also looked over.
When the two looked at each other, Guanyin's face suddenly turned slightly red, and she hurriedly lowered the curtain again.
Li Shimin looked flat from beginning to end, and looked away without any fluctuations. Since that night, when the girl had thanked him for her great kindness, he had never spoken a few words to Guanyin.
His temperament is extremely rational, although he is very moved by this girl, he is also quite pitiful. But I know that the best way to treat Guanyin is to stay away.
"Is this eyebrow teasing?"
Li Xuanba came to Li Shimin's side again, looked at the carriage in the distance of Gaofu, and whispered: "I always feel that you are too careful, second brother, anyway, the man is unmarried, and the woman is unmarried." If you go back to your mother and ask for it, you might be able to get your wish. β
"Where do you see we're flirting?"
Li Shimin's sword eyebrows raised slightly, and he glanced at his younger brother lightly: "Take care of your own affairs, your second brother doesn't need you to worry about it,"
"I'm doing this for your own good!"
Li Xuanba laughed, others may not be able to see that his second brother has a different demeanor just now, but he and Li Shimin have been brothers for more than ten years, how can they not notice that the latter's attitude towards Guanyin is different from the beginning?
"I think Sister Wuji, both in character and appearance, is excellent. Someone snatched it away in the future, second brother, don't regret it,"
Li Shimin didn't react, and after yawning, he rode forward sleepily.
"Shh
Li Xuanba saw that his second brother looked indifferent, and couldn't help but feel bored and pursed his lips. But then he smiled and said, "Second brother, before we go home, why don't we go to the Upper East Gate first?"
"Going to the East Gate?"
As soon as Li Shimin changed his mind, he already understood Li Xuanba's plan.
This guy must be planning to go to the East Gate to see the excitement.
Li Shimin also felt excited, the dragon boat went north, and the horse rode out to fight, this scene must be extremely spectacular. But then he shook his head listlessly: "What are you going to do over there? Mother has been looking forward to your return a few years ago, don't let her wait for a long time-"
Yesterday, in order to further grasp the special structure of the 'Demon War' armor, after completing his cultivation, he studied this armor until midnight, and did not fall asleep until after the fourth watch.
However, there are many gains from staying up late, and Li Shimin estimates that he will be able to analyze this 'Demon War' armor thoroughly in one night at most.
At this time, he couldn't wait to go back to his house and continue to fiddle with his ink armor, where would he have time to accompany Li Xuanba to wander around?
However, before his voice fell, he heard Li Xuanba laugh for a while: "This can't help you, second brother." β
I saw that he suddenly raised his horse's whip, drove his horse down, and galloped straight to a street on the left.
In just a blink of an eye, Li Xuanba had already rushed out of the hundreds, bringing up a cloud of smoke and dust.
Seeing this, Li Shimin was stunned for a while.
"Three sons!"
Li Yan was also caught off guard, and when he reacted and wanted to intercept it, Li Xuanba's one person and one rider had already disappeared around the corner of the street.
He looked at the smoke and dust in front of him helplessly, and then looked at Li Shimin with instructions in his eyes: "Erlang?"
The latter was a headache to be supported: "Let's all follow, let's go to the east gate too." β
As he said before, their mother, Dou, has been looking forward to Li Xuanba's return for a long time. At this time, if he returned to Tang Guofu alone, his mother would definitely pull his ears.
And Li Xuanba's temperament, he is also very worried.
This guy was originally a person who liked to cause trouble, and after cultivating the Red Sun Extreme True Dafa, his temperament was particularly strong and competitive.
But at this time, where the dragon boat is located in the Luohe River, I don't know how many dignitaries and nobles gathered, and if one is not good, there will be trouble.
