In the same state and foreign mansions, the atmosphere is very depressing, and the subordinates who come and go in and out try to keep their steps as light as possible, try to avoid making too much noise and being noticed, and the words exchanged between each other can be short or short, and many messages must be conveyed with their eyes.

But there are still more eye-catching people and things in the house, just in the small square in front of the Zhongwai Mansion Straight Hall, there is a person who is shirtless and kneeling on the ground, this person is Yuwen Taishi's confidant and favorite general, the general Li Yuan.

The Chinese and foreign mansions are the center of the personnel gathering of the overlords, and there are naturally many people who come and go. When they saw Li Yuan, who was kneeling down here and was guilty, the expressions on their faces became extremely complicated, but they didn't dare to talk about it, and after a few quick glances, they quickly walked away.

Nowadays, it is the cold winter season, and many people in China and foreign countries are already wearing brocade, and they still feel the chill. Li Yuan was so naked, his chest and back had been frozen to pale flesh, and the skin pierced by thorns on his back was a dark red.

A young man hurriedly entered from a layman, and it was Li Zhi, the son of Li Yuan. When he saw his father's state, his face became very ugly, and he hurriedly took off his robe to put it on his father's body, but was pushed away by Li Yuan.

"Aya, why is this? Although Uncle went south from the army, after all, he was only a striker, and he should not be alone if such a big thing happened. The Lord has not inquired about it......

Li Zhi grabbed the robe that was thrown on the ground by his father, and persuaded him bitterly, but before he finished speaking, Li Yuan raised his eyes and reprimanded, "Shut up!"

Li Zhi saw that his father was so stubborn, and this scene was fully seen by the people who came and went in and out of the house, and he was also very ashamed in his heart, and put his robe next to his father, and he hurriedly went to the hall to ask to see the master.

Yuwentai in the hall did not deal with official business, but was sitting opposite the Taifu Li Bi, when he heard Li Zhidengtang tell his father that he was guilty of pleading outside the hall, Yuwentai just bowed slightly, and said in a flat tone: "I know, retreat."

Li Zhi was also surprised when he saw Yu Wentai's cold reaction, so he hurriedly said, "Lord, my father ......."

"Get out!"

Yu Wentai, who was originally indifferent, changed his face suddenly, and roared angrily, and then grabbed the paper cutting knife on the desk and threw it straight to the hall, his eyes were even more angry as if he was about to kill.

Li Zhi was silent when he saw this, and he stood stiff on the spot, and his hands and feet were a little disobedient, and the people in the hall, including Taifu Li Bi, also stood up one after another, bowing their heads and standing silently, only Li Bi glanced at the people who spoke in the hall and signaled to lead Li Zhi out of the hall.

"This kind of young disciple is used to being pampered and arrogant, and if he gives a little order, he thinks that human affairs are indispensable, and he doesn't know that there are other people who are in trouble!"

Although Li Zhi was dragged out of the hall, Yuwentai was still angry, he stood up and pointed outside the hall and said angrily, "He Liuhun was outside the city, but what is happening now? Such a giant still can't help but return home, so why not be afraid of the petty fanatics playing right and wrong!"

When everyone in the hall heard this, they lowered their heads, lest they be swept away by Yu Wentai's fierce eyes, and the entire hall was silent for a while.

After a long while, the anger on Yu Wentai's face gradually subsided, and he smiled at Li Bi again: "In recent years, I have often been self-conscious, but I didn't intend to be moved by trivial things, which made Taifu smile."

When Li Bi heard this, he bowed and said, "Joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness are all human temperaments, and everything is indifferent, but not close to human feelings. There are also stubborn things in the courtiers, and they need to be diligently spurred with a rod to do so, so that they can barely abide by what is right and wrong."

After hearing this, Yuwentai sighed again, and after a while, he sighed again: "You need to be diligent in your subordinates, Taifu's words are true. I have realized that it is not too late, even if the disease of scabies is not to be underestimated!"

After saying this, he invited Li Bi to sit down, and the topic turned to the battle of Shayuan that year, the more he chatted, the more excited he became, and simply raised his hand and ordered the officials to go to Shayuan to arrange accommodation, and he wanted to give a feast to the soldiers who participated in the battle of Shayuan in the Wanshou Hall of Shayuan.

In addition to summoning the soldiers who participated in the Battle of Shayuan and are still in Guanzhong to Shayuan, even His Majesty the Emperor, Yuwentai, who was far away in Chang'an, also invited to the Wanshou Hall to participate in this grand event.

But it is difficult to complete the preparation of such a grand event without ten days and half a month, Yuwentai is full of interest at the moment, but he needs to vent immediately. So he sent his apostles to invite Zhao Gui, Hou Mo, Chen Chong, Da Xiwu and other old generals to the Chinese and foreign mansions to attend the banquet.

"The Great Sima is also in the city."

Seeing that Yuwentai issued various invitations, Li Bi reminded softly on the side.

After hearing this, Yuwentai also nodded with a smile and said, "If you forget Da Sima, it's really rude!"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and untied his robe, threw it to the attendant and said, "Long live Li went to invite Da Sima to the mansion for a banquet this night, go quickly!"

After hearing this, the confessor hurried out of the court, put Yuwentai's robe in front of Li Yuan with both hands, and conveyed his instructions to Li Yuan.

After Li Yuan heard this, his eyes became moist for a moment, he lay on the ground and kowtowed heavily, and at the same time shouted in his mouth: "The minister must live up to the use of the Lord, and since he has been ordered, he will never give up!"

After saying this, he untied the thorn strip on his back with a trembling hand, and respectfully draped the robe given by Yuwentai on his body, and then turned around and walked out of the Chinese and foreign mansions, and came to the mansion to gather the subordinates who followed him back to the same state, each got on his horse, and walked towards Duguxin's mansion.

There were armored soldiers on duty in front of Duguxin's mansion, and when they heard the sound of hurried horses' hooves approaching here, all the armored soldiers were nervous and arrayed in front of the mansion.

Li Yuan rode his horse to the door of Dugu Xin's house, and did not dismount, but shouted loudly to the soldiers in front of the mansion: "On the order of King Yuwen, I hereby invite the Great Sima to attend a banquet in the Chinese and foreign mansions."

The soldiers in front of the mansion glanced at each other, and one of the soldiers came forward to interrogate them for a while, and then signaled Li Yuan and his party to wait in front of the mansion for a while, and he hurriedly entered the mansion.

Li Yuan and his entourage waited in front of Dugu Xin's house for more than a quarter of an hour, and the soldier commander who had entered the house before slowly walked out again, bowed to Li Yuan apologetically and said, "There is Lao Yang Pinggong who has been waiting for a long time, but unfortunately Da Sima has been suffering from a cold recently, and he is recuperating in bed in the palace, so I implore Yang Pinggong to return to ......

"On the order of King Yuwen, invite Da Sima to the mansion for a banquet!"

Li Yuan didn't listen to the commander's explanation, but repeated his intention again loudly, and then turned his head to the people behind him and said, "Drum! After a drum, I went to the hall to ask for a meeting, and prevented me from inviting the big Sima, kill!"

After the subordinates heard this, they each untied the drum from their waists and beat it vigorously, and the drums in front of Duguxin's mansion were agitated and full of slaughter for a while.

The police drum was coming to an end, and Li Yuan was already grabbing his saber immediately, and as for the Dugu Xinjia soldiers opposite, they had also begun to shrink their formation and firmly guard the gate of the mansion.

"Come on!"

The moment the drums stopped, Li Yuan roared steeply, drew his knife in his hand, clamped his legs between the horse's belly, and led the horse straight towards the guards in front of the mansion. And after seeing this, the subordinates behind them also showed their blades, and stepped forward to guard Li Yuan.

"Presumptuous!"

There was a break in the door, and Dugu Xin, who was dressed in a hakama uniform, finally appeared in the door, and his eyes crossed the guards and fell on the aggressive Li Yuan, and he scolded in his mouth: "You wait for Diao slaves, how dare you commit murder against the master!" Yang Pinggong came to visit with courtesy, and he should open the door politely, if the blood is splashed here, then how can he repay it!"

"The last general will be ordered, the Lord's order is the grace of heaven, and he will not hesitate to die, let alone splash blood!"

Li Yuan was not deterred by Dugu Xin's momentum, but he still turned over and dismounted, and continued to move forward with his head held high, even if the guards did not retreat from the blades in their hands, he looked at Dugu Xin and said in a deep voice: "King Yuwen held a banquet in the mansion today to entertain all the old people, because the envoy invited the big Sima in the future, and the participants also knew each other well.

After Dugu Xin heard this, his eyes flashed again, and he frowned and groaned for a moment before he said in a deep voice: "Yang Pinggong, please enter the hall and wait for a while, let me return to the house and change my clothes and go to the house together."

As he spoke, he waved his hand to signal the guards in front of the door to retreat left and right, and raised his hand to make an inviting gesture to Li Yuan. The subordinates behind Li Yuan still need to be dissuaded, but Li Yuan is already high

Shoukuo walked into the house.

After such a toss, when Dugu Xin and Li Yuan arrived at the Zhongwai Mansion, the sky had completely darkened, and the banquet in the Zhongwai Mansion had been going on for a long time. When the two of them were still outside the hall, they heard all kinds of laughter and jokes coming from inside.

As the two walked into the hall, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly cooled down, and everyone who was still laughing and laughing before restrained their laughter, and looked at the two who arrived behind with embarrassment, especially Dugu Xin, who gathered more eyes.

Dugu Xin was greeting Yuwen Taishi and several other Zhu Guos, and then looked around at everyone and said with a smile: "I have already heard you laughing and laughing outside the hall, I don't know what you said is so happy?"

"It's about the story of the old Qingshui Gong who entered the customs to pacify the ugly slaves, and Da Sima didn't participate in this matter, even if he was afraid of words!"

Hou Mo Chen Chong, who was sitting on the side seat of Yuwentai, said with a smile, revealing a bit of undisguised alienation in his tone. Most of the people present were the leaders of the town soldiers who had entered the customs and chaos in the early years, and after hearing this, the eyes that looked at Dugu Xin also revealed a little strange.

After Dugu Xin heard this, the expression on his face froze slightly, and he noticed that there were no vacancies in the top few seats. After a little silence, he directly turned around and walked into the hall, sat down at the end of the seat, raised the empty wine glass, and said with a smile: "What Peng Chenggong said is true, it was true that he failed to chase after Qingshui Gong into the customs and chaos, but served the Langya Duke out of the town of Jingxiang! Kansai is at peace, and all the monarchs are strong. Jing Xiang has great prosperity, and a certain is also honored!"
