Just when the people on both sides of the street were pointing out the team and talking about it, Li Shimin was staying in Dou's carriage.

This is because he has been in the limelight recently, so he has been rewarded heavily by the black market. So this time when he went to Dou's mansion, Dou was worried about his safety, so he deliberately let him stay in the carriage he was riding in to accompany him. Li Jiancheng and Li Xuanba's three brothers did not have this treatment, so they could only ride horses and follow closely behind.

Li Yuanji was indignant about this, and from time to time he looked at the white eyes in the carriage, and sneered at his mother Dou's partiality and respect for Li Shimin.

Li Jiancheng's expression was flat, even if he was followed by the gaze cast from all around, he didn't care at all. Li Xuanba was excited, and his gaze, which he thought was majestic and cold, swept around. He was expecting an eyeless assassin to jump out and let him stretch his hand.

But along the way, there were no twists and turns, and none of those onlookers who were watching and discussing took the initiative to avoid his sight.

The people who can live in Shangshanfang and Xiuwenfang are either the nobles of the court or the servants of the nobles' families. The little tiger of the martial arts Li family, although he had a fierce face, could not scare them.

Li Yuanji had already retracted his gaze from the carriage at this time. Then he looked at the armorers around him with a complicated expression.

A total of 100 personal soldiers, 60 embroidered messengers, plus four Zhenyuan Sanpin's worship guards, and three embroidered captains, gathered around them, just to defend Li Shimin.

"The second brother is really majestic! But with such a battle in Luoyang City, he is not afraid of other people's rumors?"

"It's helpless, it's not that Virusha himself wants it to be. ”

Li Jiancheng smiled: "What's more, this is what he deserves, what can others say? The danger of the battle of the White Horse Temple is far beyond your imagination of the dead fourth brother, even after I heard it, I also felt admiration." ”

When Li Yuanji heard this, he frowned, and his eyes were unconvinced. But he said anything more, and after a soft snort, he regained his silence.

In the end, the group arrived at the door of Dou Mansion safe and sound.

The Dou family has been noble for generations, and it is also one of the Eight Pillars of the Western Wei Dynasty. And even in this dynasty, the Dou clan is still the top magnate in the world, and his momentum is even higher than that of the martial arts Li clan. There are many capable people in the family, and they are brave in the world.

For example, Dou Chi, the cousin of the Dou family, is the first emperor Taifu, the prince of Qiguo, the chief manager of Jing Ying, the head of the military affairs of the ten states of Yueyuan, Fengli, Hubei and Hubei, and is in charge of the history of Jingzhou Thorn, and often participates in military affairs. Dou Yi, the father of the Dou family, that is, Li Shimin's maternal ancestor, was even more brave and good at fighting, worshiped the general of Zhuguo, and also attacked the Duke of Qiguo; and Dou's cousin Rongding, who was also the general of Zuo Wuwei during the Kaihuang period, Chen Guogong.

And the old lady who is living today is the mother of Dou Wei, another cousin of the Dou family.

The latter is also the most core figure of the Henan Dou family, although he was dismissed from office and idle at home because of his strong admonition to the Son of Heaven, but his brothers are all in important positions in the court. Dou Wei himself is even more knowledgeable, and he has the hope of being a great Confucian in the world.

Therefore, in front of this Dou Mansion, there is already a lot of traffic, and there are many guests.

According to the rules of the magnates in the capital, the carriage of the Dou family did not stay at the main gate, but stopped at the side gate, and the decent grandmother of the Dou family respectfully welcomed the noble aunt and grandmother into the weeping flower gate.

And Li Shimin jumped out of the carriage when the carriage arrived at the main gate of Dou Mansion, and he and Li Xuanba followed closely behind Li Jiancheng and went inside.

However, before the four brothers stepped into the gate, they saw a man dressed in purple clothes with a face like a crown of jade lined up the crowd, smiled and strode over.

"The four cousins are finally here, keep me waiting!"

The person who came was Dou Wei's grandson Dou Min.

Dou Min first bowed to the four of them, and when his eyes fell on Li Shimin, he immediately shined, without saying a word, he took a step to the right and grabbed Li Shimin.

"Second cousin, I can look forward to you, we haven't seen each other for a long time, we have to drink hard today, and also, what happened to the changes in the White Horse Temple a few days ago? Cousin, you are now famous in the capital, and you will be free later, so you must tell your brother about your story! ”

Dou Min said as he forcibly pulled Li Shimin inside. Li Shimin couldn't cry or laugh, so he could only let this enthusiastic cousin Shi Wei.

Li Jiancheng also shook his head with a smile, and then moved forward in the back, Li Xuanba took three or two steps and rushed to the front of Dou Min, "Cousin Min, you only have my second brother in your eyes, why don't you say hello to me? We haven't seen each other for many years, right? Do you want to wait for a few tricks?"

When Dou Min heard this, his head suddenly became very big, he turned his head and glared at Li Xuanba bitterly: "Don't you think about it! Others don't know, I still don't know that you Li Xuanba has already come down from the great master Li Yuanlang of Zhengyi." Now the children of the family in the capital, how many can beat you? You want to bully your brother for no reason, right? You are embarrassed to say-"

Speaking of this, he smiled and said to Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin: "You don't know, the last time I met him a few years ago, he almost broke up and lay in bed for several days! ”

Li Shimin was happy when he heard this, and knew that the uncle Dou Min said should be Dou Xi, who is now serving as the general of the right military guard in the court, and is also a well-known first-class powerhouse. Now they are not yet thirty years old, and there is hope for super products.

When Li Xuanba heard this, he gloated and laughed: "Isn't this just right?

Dou Min immediately gave him a roll of his eyes, and didn't plan to pay attention to him anymore.

This situation finally made Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin laugh for a while.

Only Li Yuanji followed Li Jiancheng's side, and squinted at Dou Min in a strange voice: "Cousin Min, you have to protect my second brother today, my second brother is not as ordinary as ordinary people now, the head of the family is very valuable, and there are still people watching all the way on the road just now, if it weren't for the fact that our brothers are here, it is estimated that we would have done it a long time ago!"

Li Shimin's eyes froze slightly, and he glanced at his fourth brother and was silent.

Dou Min lost the smile on his face when he heard this, his expression froze, and he looked at Li Shimin with a little worry, "Cousin, don't worry, the house is heavily guarded today, and you don't dare to make a mistake when you hang those small nights!"

Although Dou Min said this, he didn't have much bottom in his heart, he hadn't heard that there were many masters secretly eyeing Li Shimin, and wanted to get rid of him quickly. It is said that twenty of the top 50 killers on the black list have gathered in the capital. ，

However, today's distinguished guests gathered, and the masters of the Henan Dou family are like clouds, so there should be no major incidents.

Li Xuanba couldn't get used to Li Yuanji's weird appearance of yin and yang, and let out a laugh: "Fourth brother, isn't this underestimating my uncle's family? The martial name of the Dou family in Henan is known to the whole world, who dares to be presumptuous in the Dou Mansion today?"

He seems to be reckless, but in fact, his heart is no worse than others. Just this sentence choked Li Yuanjiding's expression and he couldn't speak.

"Garuda is right!"

Dou Min also laughed loudly, and shook the sleeves of his robe arrogantly: "No matter who you are today, as long as you dare to use force against Pilu Sha in the Dou Mansion, my Dou clan will definitely let them not see the sun tomorrow!"

※ ※ ※ ※

When Dou Min welcomed the brothers into the front hall, he attracted a lot of curious and strange eyes. Especially Li Shimin, who is the focus, no matter where he goes, there are countless admiration, scrutiny, or amazement.

Even with Li Shimin's city government, he couldn't help frowning. But at this time, he could only endure the discomfort and go to the backyard to meet their uncle and grandmother.

And when the four brothers finished their birthday greetings to the old birthday star, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji strode to the front hall.

There will be many important ministers and nobles passing through the mansion today, and Li Jiancheng, as the eldest son of the Tang State Mansion, will never miss this opportunity to make friends and talk. As for Li Yuanji, he also has a bunch of fox friends and dog friends gathered here.

Only Li Xuanba and Li Shimin walked one step later, avoiding the places where people came and went, and walked to the remote verandah. Neither of them was willing to join in the fun, and they were even more impatient with that kind of occasion.

It was only not far from the main courtyard that the two brothers had left the main courtyard when a delicate voice interjected from the side.

"Two cousins, go slowly!"

The two followed the prestige, and saw a girl wearing a goose-yellow dress with an unusually beautiful face. He was walking briskly towards them.

Li Shimin and Li Xuanba couldn't help but be stunned for a while, looking at each other, and they didn't recognize which one this 'cousin' was.

When the girl saw this, she immediately knew it, so she pretended to be angry and said, "The two cousins are not often in Beijing, can you forget me?" I am Dou Yun's cousin!"

"Brother Virucha, have you forgotten that ten years ago, you robbed me of a lantern?"

Seeing that the two of them were still at a loss, the girl's eyes suddenly shone brightly, as if Li Shimin wanted to burst into tears if she didn't recognize it.

Li Shimin's mouth twitched, he only cared about practicing martial arts and cultivating martial arts when he was a child, and he wanted to win the praise of those adults, where did he remember such a trivial matter?

But this girl should really be his cousin. So Li Shimin smiled busily, "It turned out to be Dou Yun's sister!" ”

He did have some impressions that this girl should be Dou Min's little sister, and he did meet a few times when he was a teenager. I forgot the specific deeds, but I only remembered that he was an extremely difficult lord.

When Dou Yun heard this, he immediately smiled like a flower, and his cheeks were pink.

Li Xuanba, who was on the side, put his hands around his chest, first looked at Li Shimin thoughtfully, and then looked at Dou Yun fixedly: "Cousin Dou Yun, do you remember the wrong person? The one who snatched your lantern seems to be your brother and me, right?"

As he spoke, he kept a straight face and expressed his dissatisfaction.

Li Shimin couldn't cry or laugh, knowing that his younger brother seemed to have the intention of playing tricks on this girl.
