"Hey, almost all of our brothers are here except for the fourth brother!" At this moment, Li Zhi suddenly spoke. Although this kid had a harmless expression on his face, it seemed as if he had just inadvertently mentioned Li Tai, but Li Su dared to swear that Li Zhi, the little fox, was definitely intentional.

"Hehe, the fourth brother is arrogant by nature, and he has never paid much attention to these things, so it is expected that he did not come to participate!" Li Chengqian also seemed to say very casually, but a hint of an elusive smile flashed in his eyes.

Li Su looked at this pair of brothers who sang and harmonized, and couldn't help but feel a little emotion in his heart, worthy of being the eldest grandson queen, this heart is indeed more than the other brothers.

Originally, in this competition with Songtsen Gampo, Li Su and Li Ke had planned to let Li Chengqian and Li Tai participate, after all, one of them was disabled and the other was obese, and they couldn't ride a bicycle at all. However, Li Chengqian saw this opportunity and deliberately came to participate, so that among the princes of Chang'an, except for the two who were still wearing open crotch pants, only Li Tai did not come, which invisibly isolated Li Tai, plus preventing this time from playing the family card, and now Li Chengqian is disabled and still participates in the competition, and suddenly establishes the image of a glorious big brother who loves his younger brothers and sisters, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone, no wonder Li Chengqian was so enthusiastic about their brothers just now.

Hearing that Li Chengqian was plain on the surface, but full of provocative words inside, and thinking of Li Tai's arrogant expression towards his brother on weekdays, the youngest Li Shen showed a disgusted expression on his face, and although Li Zhi tried his best to control his expression, the trace of pride at the corner of his mouth could not be concealed. On weekdays, he was not less taught by Li Tai, so he was the first to mention the other party, and as a result, he sent Li Chengqian an excellent word.

As for Li Zhen, although she felt a little wrong, she didn't understand the key, so she had to be strong and calm and silent. However, Li Yun, who has always been looked down upon, seemed to have long understood what the eldest brother meant, and his face did not change at all, but when he saw Li Yun observing him. Only then did he barely show a smile, and then lowered his head and remained silent, it seems that this kid is timid. But also a very smart man.

As for Li Ke and Li Su, not to mention, after listening to each other, they glanced at each other, and then Li Ke stood up and said: "What the eldest brother said is reasonable. However, the fourth brother is fat and a little inconvenient to walk, so it is reasonable that he can't come to participate in the bicycle race! He agreed with Li Chengqian's words in the first sentence, and then helped Li Tai explain, which can be regarded as not offending both sides.

"Thank you third brother for saying a fair word, otherwise the younger brother will be wronged!" As soon as Li Ke's words fell, a familiar voice suddenly said behind him. When Li Su heard this voice, he couldn't cry or laugh in his heart, it seems that today's game is really going to be a good show!

"See Fourth Brother!" Led by Li Su. With Li Yun, they saluted Li Tai, who was full of fat, but what they didn't expect was that Li Tai was also pushing a bicycle, and it seemed that he was also here to participate in the competition.

"Hmm!" Li Tai was still as cold as ever to his younger brothers, and when he walked to Li Ke with the cart. nodded deliberately, although in his opinion, this was already him expressing his gratitude, but he didn't expect that the other party was his brother at all, but nodding like this is really a rude thing, fortunately, Li Ke also understands Li Tai's temper. I don't want to worry about each other at all.

"Big brother, you are really a good means, but it's a pity that the little brother is a little well-informed, and I heard about it in advance, so I'm really embarrassed, I disappointed you, big brother!" Li Tai's voice was very soft, but the meaning of his words was not the slightest polite, he relied on Li Shimin's favor, and Li Chengqian's feet were disabled, so he didn't take this big brother in his eyes for a long time.

When Li Su saw that Li Tai was also competing, he immediately thought of two possibilities, the first was that Li Tai and Li Chengqian thought of a piece, and they both thought that the other party would not compete, so they ran to isolate each other. But now looking at Li Tai's performance, this possibility should be ruled out, and Li Tai's temperament is estimated to be unable to do such a scheming thing, so there is only the second possibility left, that is, to get the news in advance, so he was forced to run to the competition.

"Fourth brother, what do you mean, why can't you understand it?" Although Li Chengqian was a little surprised that Li Tai was so well-informed, with his city government, he naturally did not show any surprised expression, but looked at Li Tai with an innocent face, and gave the other party a death denial, anyway, there is no evidence to take this kind of thing.

Li Tai also knew that this kind of thing couldn't help Li Chengqian at all, so he snorted coldly in anger, turned around and pushed the car and stood next to the other party, seemingly wanting to compete with Li Chengqian. It's just that Li Su looked at the two brothers but couldn't cry or laugh, one of them is disabled and the other is obese, and they are not the material to exercise, I am afraid that even if they ride on the bike, at most they will insist on a few hundred meters.

The eight princes all arrived, and Songtsen Gampo also entered the competition venue under the protection of the Tibetan warriors, in addition to the nine of them, the surrounding drivers have also been prepared, and there are crowds of spectators on both sides of the track, all of whom are eagerly looking at Li Chengqian and others at the front, but unfortunately there are guards on both sides of the track, so that they can't get too close.

On the city wall opposite the starting line, a diagonal stand was temporarily set up, Li Shimin sat on it with the concubines in the palace, and there were many civil and military officials on both sides with their families, but Qinghe, the girl, did not sit on the stage properly, but took Gao Yang and a group of princesses who had not yet married to lie on the wall, staring at the game below with excitement.

This game is related to the harmony with Tubo, and the harmony is naturally related to the fate of these princesses of Qinghe, although the real princess is rarely used by the relatives, and they are generally only married by the daughter of the sect, but the daughter of the sect is also their cousin, and may even be their best friend, so these princesses of Qinghe are also extremely concerned about this game.

Li Su straddled the bicycle, looked up at it, and just saw Qinghe holding his son and waving his hand at him, and when he saw the sixth brother seeing him, he shouted excitedly. After greeting a few younger sisters, Li Su looked to the side again, and saw Wen Xin and Li Ke's princess, that is, his cousin and sister-in-law, standing together, surrounded by a group of wealthy ladies, covering their mouths and smiling while pointing at the bottom. Wen Xin's eyes have been on Li Su, and when he saw his husband seeing him, he immediately showed a sweet smile to him, but at the same time he also made a gesture to make him careful, after all, Li Su had just recovered from his illness, and his body had not fully recovered.

Li Su also nodded to reassure Wen Xin, then he retracted his gaze, turned around and looked at Cheng Huailiang and others behind him, they are all loyal supporters of the bicycle race, and such a cycling race around the city will naturally not be missed. Everyone was ready, and finally under the referee's order, nearly 100 players worked together to ride their bicycles out of the starting line, and the cycling around the city officially began.

In the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an City was ten kilometers wide from east to west, about nine kilometers long from north to south, and the track of the race around the city was not close to the city wall, so the entire race was calculated, adding up to about forty kilometers, the kind of primitive bicycle invented by Li Su has been improved by the skilled craftsmen of the Tang Dynasty, but the speed is estimated to reach 15 or 16 kilometers per hour at most, so calculated, if you want to complete the entire race, you generally have to ride for two or three hours, which is considered a high-intensity sport in the eyes of later generations. Not to mention that he is still pedaling a very heavy bicycle like Datang.

At the beginning of the race, Li Su was not arrogant and followed behind Songtsen Gampo, the other party was fast and he was fast, the other party was slow and he was slow, always maintaining a distance of several meters, no matter how many riders around him overtook him, he didn't pay attention to it, after all, they didn't come to win the championship in this game, as long as he won Songtsan Gampo, his goal was achieved!

Songtsen Gampo obviously had the same idea, Li Su stared at him, and he kept staring at Li Ke, after all, among all the princes, only Li Ke could pose a threat to him, as for Li Chengqian, Li Tai and Li Zhi, the old, weak, sick and disabled, in his eyes, they were simply made up.

In fact, it is true, among the eight princes who participated, the first to hold on, is the youngest Li Shen, he is not yet ten years old, he can't ride for long, starting from Mingde Gate to the west, before reaching the nearest Anhua Gate from Mingde Gate, he can't hold on, his little face is flushed, his thin calves are kicking for a while, and his mouth is also panting, and the guards next to him see that the situation is not right, and immediately persuade Li Shen to stop, and then send him to the city wall to rest.

Compared with Li Shen, Li Chengqian and Li Tai's performance surprised Li Su, although one was crippled and the other was obese, but the two were obviously on the bar, and no one refused to quit first, but it was a pity that the speed of the two was too slow, and they were soon left behind by all the players, and when Li Su turned around, they were still slowly crawling on the track like two snails.

Afterwards, Li Su learned that the two of them climbed to Yanping Gate at a snail-like speed, and finally both fell to the ground due to physical exhaustion, but at this time they rode almost one-sixth of the entire race, and in terms of their physical condition, it can indeed be called a miracle.

As for Li Zhen and Li Zhi, at first the two of them were able to keep up with the big army, but later because they were young and weak, they were slowly left behind, but Li Yun, who was only two years younger than Li Su, had good physical strength, and he had been following Li Su's soldiers, forming a situation where Li Ke was in front, Songtsan Gampo was behind, and Li Su and Li Yun were behind.
