Chapter 177: Rather bend than bend
"Who can you hide from the puppet?"
Dou's words were full of disdain: "I think that with Fan Shixing and Shi Rakshasa watching for you, the people who passed me safely can't approach your study, so they can mess around?"
Li Shimin was still calm as usual, and shook his head slightly in confusion: "I don't know what my mother is talking about, what kind of wooden puppet technique? It was a second-grade divine shooter, with a consistent secret transmission shooting method, and a king-level battle armor. But your son, so far, is only a fourth-grade, although he also has some attainments in archery, but it is too difficult for me to kill people across the Luo River, which is more than ten miles wide. β
"The one who told me about this is a dumb servant!"
Dou shook his head slightly as if disappointed, and his voice was cold: "These days, Erlang, you think you are secret, but you don't know that everything you do is under the attention of others. That's it, Erlang, do you still want to deny it?"
Li Shimin was dumbfounded again, and then simply admitted calmly: "I did kill the person, as for the reason, mother, you should know-"
Before he could finish speaking, Dou Shi waved his sleeves directly, and slapped Li Shimin's face, making a crisp sound of 'pop'.
"In the Imperial City, shoot the young eunuch of the Inner Palace, I think you are crazy! Once you are caught, do you know what the consequences are?"
"Crazy? I'm not crazy. But if the third brother's enmity can't be repaid with blood, I may really go crazy,"
Li Shimin's eyes were like torches, and he looked at his mother without giving in: "Mother, you don't need to pay attention to this matter, and you don't have to interfere." Children have their own comprehensive strategies, and they are sure before acting. Even if I miscalculate, I have a perfect way, and I will not affect my family,"
"Thorough, grasped, won't it be affected?"
Dou sneered: "Do you understand, what kind of people are you going to face? I have already died a son, and I don't want to die again." β
"I really don't understand, but one day, the child will find them one by one, no matter what they are. β
Li Shimin laughed: "Even if it is the Son of Heaven, as long as this person is involved in this matter, the child will definitely have him to pay the price." β
Dou's breath suddenly choked. Her second son, whose words were clearly calm and unwavering, was filled with a chill that made his heart palpitate.
At this moment, she couldn't help but think of her uncle Yu Wenyong. Emperor Wu of Zhou's temperament was diluted and peaceful, but once he was angry, he was like Li Shimin at that time, seemingly calm on the outside, but hidden on the inside with the power of thunder.
"I'm not consulting with you. β
Dou took a deep breath: "This matter must end here! If you are unwilling to obey orders, then whether it is the ink armor you made or the divine bow called Sheyue, I will take it back,"
"Mother said and laughed! Without the divine bow to shoot Yue, and without the divine blood, I will be helpless, and I can only sit in the city of sorrow?"
Li Shimin was still smiling, and the corners of his lips provoked an extremely beautiful arc: "If you really want me to stop, then you might as well break my legs!"
Dou Shi was stunned for a while, looked at his son again, and was speechless.
Li Shimin waited for a while, and then bowed deeply to Dou's family: "Mother, please forgive the child for being rude today, if you have nothing to say, the child will leave first." β
It's just that when he walked down the stairs, he suddenly felt a feeling, reached forward and grabbed something, and took something in his hand.
Li Shimin took a closer look and found that this was a three-foot-long human-shaped jade carving with a crystal clear body. What is surprising is that inside this jade carving, there are many mysterious runes engraved on the seal.
"Artifact?"
And it's a magic weapon like a puppet stand-in, and the grade is not low-
Li Shimin couldn't help but look up and looked at the Dou clan above. The latter's face was cold, and he looked down at Li Shimin: "I know that you are now cultivating magic and can use this thing." Since you want to disguise your whereabouts with puppetry, you might as well pretend to be some. β
Li Shimin laughed again, and then bowed to his mother again with gratitude.

Not long after Li Shimin left, the dumb servant surnamed Luo appeared behind Dou again.
"I told you a long time ago, your son has a strong temperament, and you can't stop him. β
"I knew the result in advance, so there is no need to do it, right? Now that the Sui family dominates the world and the country is strong, then Luo Gong, you don't need to think about how to avenge my uncle's family, and you can honestly be Yang Guang's obedient people. β
Dou's face was full of anger, and he turned to look at the dumb servant: "If it weren't for your procrastination, there has been no progress so far, how could my son do such a dangerous thing." β
"It's not that there is no progress, but that I don't want to startle the snake,"
The dumb servant's face was like a rock, and his voice seemed to be hiding a stone, and he was extremely cold: "You should know that our identity is inconvenient, and we are always watched by the embroidered guards." Once there is a big noise, then before the real murderer behind the scenes is awarded, Ling'er, you will lose your life first. β
"I don't care about this!"
Dou Shi breathed heavily, and the anger in his eyes seemed to have turned into substance: "Even if I fall into hell, I will not allow those who plot against my children to continue to live in this world!"
"Womanβ"
There was a hint of disappointment in the eyes of the dumb servant, and then he walked straight to the window and looked in the direction of the imperial city: "It seems that Ling'er, you have forgotten the word patience taught to you by the emperor to the fullest. Do you think that after you die, we will still have the ability to avenge Garuda? At that time, I am afraid that there will be no one in ten. β
Dou frowned slightly, although there was still dissatisfaction between her eyebrows, she still calmed down.
"So I waited, in fact, I only had one chance. If we can't kill the culprit in one fell swoop, the current Son of Heaven will definitely not let us have room to participate in this matter. β
The dumb servant sighed slightly, his expression was both helpless and a little expectant: "So Pilusha's move can be regarded as a mistake." He acted in a very disciplined manner, and he was always wise and scheming. And the newly created ink armor, as well as the consistent archery skills, are outside the cognition of the embroidered guard. So you and I, you might as well watch first. I have a hunch that Virujatha will help us find the culprit faster,"
"But he's only fifteen now!"
Dou rubbed his eyebrows with his hands, and his words still contained worry: "Do you know how dangerous this is?"
"He's a young eagle, and your wings are just superfluous to him!"
The dumb servant snorted softly: "Viruja has always been cautious and careful, and now his strength and ink armor are also very good. Consistent archery skills can allow him to shoot from a distance, and the risk is actually extremely low. What's more, there is also a faceless arrow for him, so you don't need to worry too much about him. Your child is indeed confident, and every step he takes has his own considerations. Don't forget, when Otsuka was fourteen years old, he had already broken through strong enemies in battle. β
- The Otsuka Jae he said is the former Zhou Jin Kingdom Gongyu Wenhu. After the death of Emperor Wen of Zhou, Yuwentai, he held the power of the Great Zhou for decades, and once abolished the three emperors and killed the three emperors, which was notorious. But this also respects the minister, rests the army to support the people, implements the uniform land system and government soldiers, and accumulates national strength.
Today's strength of the Great Sui is the foundation of this Otsuka Zai.
Therefore, although this person died at the hands of Yuwen Yong, the people of Guanzhong and the remnants of the Northern Zhou Dynasty are still grateful for his virtue and respect.
Dou's eyes couldn't help but show a hint of surprise, as if he didn't expect this dumb servant to compare his child with Yuwen Hu.
But then she sneered: "Let Virusha participate in this matter, I'm afraid it's just what you want?"
"But isn't this exactly what you're looking forward to? If you want to say that among the sons of your knees, who has the ability to overturn the Sui room, it is indeed only Virucha alone. β
The dumb servant looked indifferent, and said unequivocally: "I will follow your wishes Ling'er, and I will not force him to be an enemy of the Sui family." But if one day, he himself stands on the opposite side of the Sui room, and I will do my best to help him. I'm looking forward to this day. β

Li Shimin rested in his small courtyard for the night, and then the next morning, he returned to his other courtyard.
At this time, Zhang Yurou came up with an excited expression and handed a letter to Li Shimin's eyes: "No, this is my father's reply, he said that he can come as I want." β
Li Shimin opened the letter with a strange expression, and then after just one glance, he frowned.
The meaning of Zhang Zhongjian's letter is roughly as Zhang Yurou said. said that her daughter had always been raised in a deep boudoir and did not know anything about killing, but his family's property could not be inherited by a young lady in the boudoir. So let Li Shimin take his daughter to experience one or two, even if it is a little dangerous, it doesn't hurt Yunyun-
How could there be such a father? Don't you know that what he is doing now is more than 'a little' dangerous?
Li Shimin suspected that this letter was forged by Zhang Yurou, but the handwriting inside was vigorous, strong through the back of the paper, with an indescribable majestic atmosphere and sharpness, which was exactly the same as Zhang Zhongjian's handwriting when he made an appointment with him that day, and it was not something that ordinary people could write.
He hesitated for a moment, then tucked the letter into his sleeve. In fact, now, no matter what Zhang Yurou wants to do, he actually has no good way to stop it.
However, after having this letter that I don't know whether it is true or false, Zhang Zhongjian will investigate it in the future, and he will have a statement.
Zhang Yurou continued to ask curiously: "Who is the next target, do you have a plan?"
But Li Shimin didn't mean to pay attention to it at all, and walked into his workshop on the cellar again, and in a clanging sound, he dismantled the 'Divine Blood Eye' again.
After yesterday's assassination, he detected some anomalous energy fluctuations within the armor, which must be adjusted before the next operation.
