Sui and Tang Dynasty Generals

Chapter 61 Dou Jiande's Purpose
Inside the residence.

In the quiet atmosphere, the Gao family members were warming themselves around the fire.

Changsun Wuji felt helpless when he saw his younger sister smiling. His younger sister was really not afraid of his uncle. Didn't she see that his uncle's face was already gloomy and ugly?

"Father!"

At this time, Gao Jin hurriedly ran into the house and looked at his father Gao Shining.

"The people of Gaojibo said that Lord Dou has already left Gaojibo with Yingkai, Cao Zhan, and Cui Luxing!"

Gao Jin said breathlessly.

After hearing Gao Jin's words, not only Gao Shining, Xiao, and Changsun Wuji's mother Gao, even Guanyinbi, Changsun Wuji, and Gao Luxing knew why Dou Jiande left Gaojipo and where he went.

"Otherwise, let's forget about the Li family's affairs!"

Xiao looked at her son Gao Jin, who seemed to be at a loss as to what to do, and then at her husband's gloomy face, so she sighed and spoke softly.

After all, Li Cai is his granddaughter. Although the boy from the Fu family is the son of a merchant, he has now proven to be a talented young man.

"Don't mention this again. A bastard is a bastard! No matter how good a fighter he is, he can't change his identity as a bastard!"

When Gao Shining heard what his wife said, he instantly became furious and looked at his wife with eyes wide open.

Seeing this, the elderly Xiao could only shut his mouth.

"Fulfill your wish! Go to Li's residence!"

Gao Shining knew that what he had said to Li Cha and Zhangsun Nonggui outside the door in the past had already broken off relations with the Li family. Neither he nor Gao Jin were suitable to go, so he could only look to his nephew Gao Luxing.

"Tell Dou Jiande that if he still wants the Gao family's support, he should not have that bastard as his subordinate! If he is there, there will be no old man!"

Gao Shining ordered.

"Yes! Uncle!"

Gao Luxing stood up and saluted respectfully to his uncle.

After hearing what his uncle said, Gao Luxing clearly understood the seriousness of his uncle's words.

You must know that when my uncle came back this time, apart from offering sacrifices to the ancestors, he had already decided to assist Lord Dou and persuade the Gao and Xiao families on his behalf.

"Don't let my cousin go to the Li family! The Gao family has already fallen out with the Li family, why should my cousin go and embarrass himself?"

Just as Gao Luxing was about to leave, the voice of Guanyinbi suddenly came.

Looking at Guanyinbi, veins on Gao Shining's old face were bulging with anger.

"Brother, please go with me! Let's tell those people what uncle said!"

Guanyinbi said to Changsun Wuji, ignoring her uncle's expression, then slowly stood up and looked at her cousin Gao Luxing.

"Cousin, you stay home!"

When Guanyinbi spoke, her tone was as gentle as possible.

Although Gao Luxing was much older than Guanyinbi, at this moment, looking at Guanyinbi, Gao Luxing felt particularly at ease and at ease, so he nodded obediently.

"Uncle, Wuji and my little sister will go over there!"

Changsun Wuji stood up and saluted Gao Shining.

Listening to the footsteps of his younger sister leaving behind him, Changsun Wuji knew very well that his uncle Gao Shining's move of sending Gao Luxing to Li's Mansion, disregarding Gao Luxing's feelings, made his younger sister very angry.

When he, his younger sister, and his mother were driven out of the house by the people of the Changsun family, it was his uncle Gao Shilian who personally brought them back home and fought against the Changsun family on their behalf.

Now my uncle has been demoted to Jiaozhi, which is very far away from here. My uncle ignores my cousin Gao Luxing, but my younger sister cannot.

"Mother, let me go out first!"

After Changsun Wuji bowed to his mother, he turned and left.

On the streets of Xin County.

Changsun Wuji walked with Guanyinbi and heard many people talking about the affairs of Qinghe County along the streets.

"I didn't expect that Fu Zihou has such ability! He really can't be underestimated!"

Changsun Wuji said.

Listening to some people talking about those prisoners who had made meritorious services and who not only gained freedom with their families but also received a lot of money, Changsun Wuji felt sincerely moved that he had made a mistake that day and had not expected that the seemingly elegant and easy-going young man had such great abilities.

At least Changsun Wuji asked himself if he had such ability.

"When I return to Jingzhao, I will definitely tell Shimin about this! If such a great talent is left to someone else, I'm afraid Shimin will blame me if he finds out!"

Changsun Wuji said.

Guanyinbi stopped walking and looked at her brother helplessly.

"Dou Jiande will definitely go to see uncle in person and persuade him not to speak nonsense!"

Guanyin Bi knew very well what her brother was planning. Ever since her brother met her husband Shimin, she wanted to put all her thoughts on Shimin and give him all the good things.

"Little sister!"

Changsun Wuji smiled awkwardly, and hurriedly caught up and walked with Guanyinbi.

"But, we can't just watch such a brave and resourceful person serve...the bandits!"

As Changsun Wuji walked, he looked at Guanyinbi and spoke, while also glancing at the other passers-by around him.

"Little sister, you are Shimin's wife after all. Even for the sake of my cousin Li Cai, you can't let Fu Zihou hang out with those bandits!"

Changsun Wuji was a little afraid of his sister. Although he didn't dare to get angry, he showed his dissatisfaction in his words.

"Speaking of which, Fu Zihou is also Shimin's cousin's son-in-law..."

Changsun Wuji complained in a low voice.

Guanyinbi sighed, stopped and looked at her brother.

Changsun Wuji saw his little sister looking at him expressionlessly, neither angry nor smiling. After a few breaths, he smiled awkwardly, but he felt that what he said was right.

"Do you think Dou Jiande can persuade your uncle?" Guanyin Bilu looked at her brother and asked softly.

"What if?"

When Changsun Wuji saw that his younger sister did not blame him, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Then, when he thought of Dou Jiande, his face became solemn.

"Little sister, you and I have both seen Dou Jiande. Whether it's his conversation or his character, he is not something that ordinary people can have. I heard that he is quite loyal. When his relative passed away, thousands of people came to see him off. Recently, in Gaojipo, he also ate and lived with the soldiers, and gave all the money he earned to the soldiers!"

There are so many things about Dou Jiande that are worthy of praise that Changsun Wuji doesn't want to say them all. After all, he believes that he knows them all, and there is no way his younger sister can't fail to see it.

"I asked you to go to Li's house with me during this period of time, but you didn't dare to go!"

Guanyinbi felt helpless and looked at her brother unhappily.

Seeing her brother's puzzled look, Guanyinbi continued walking and looking ahead.

"Mr. Li is already 68 years old this year. Perhaps the river froze very early this year. It was so cold that he couldn't ride a horse or walk. Therefore, Mr. Li didn't return to Yan County this year! Now, according to the marriage agreement between the Fu family and Li Cai, both the Fu family and the Li family will let Fu Zihou visit Mr. Li after the New Year! In addition, Fu Zihou just defeated the rebels and lifted the siege of Qinghe. Qinghe County Magistrate Yang Shanhui and Qinghe Cui will go to the court to ask for merit for Fu Zihou!"

Guanyinbi said this and looked at her brother Changsun Wuji standing beside her.

"No matter whether Dou Jiande can persuade his uncle or not, no matter whether Dou Jiande can win over Fu Zihou or not, after the new year, Shimin will have a chance to meet Zihou!"

Guanyin Bi said, looking at her brother's dazed look, then gradually happy look, and finally excited look, she was too lazy to pay attention to her brother anymore.

"That's right, little sister! Why didn't I think of that? As long as Zihou sees Shimin, plus he is my cousin's uncle, are you still worried that you won't be able to keep Zihou? Hahaha!"

On the street, Changsun Wuji smiled excitedly, looking at the little sister who was one or two steps faster in front of him, he was extremely impressed.

Li House.

In the main hall, charcoal was burning along several stoves.

Dou Jiande, Ying Kai, Cao Zhan, and Cui Luxing all knelt behind wooden tables.

It was learned that Zhang Jincheng's army outside Qinghe County was defeated by a young man named Fu Zihou, who led a reinforcement force composed of prisoners, and the rebel general Xu Jinpeng was also beheaded on the battlefield.

Dou Jiande endured for several days until he confirmed that Yang Yichen led the army back to the north, then he could not wait to come to Xin County and Li Mansion.

"Brother Jingjie, to be honest, Jiande came here last time because of Fu Zihou! I just didn't want the news to leak out, so I concealed it. I hope Brother Jingjie can forgive me!"

Dou Jiande raised his hand and spoke to Li Jingjie, telling him his intention frankly, and also said frankly that he came here last time for Fu Zihou.

If it was said that Dou Jiande's desire to meet Fu Zihou had reached its peak at the beginning, then at this moment, when he looked at Li Jingjie, Dou Jiande's breathing became a little rapid at the thought of Fu Zihou.

Wanqiu's observation and judgment, mobilizing the prisoners' courage, setting up a false army to lure Zhang Jincheng's army, and finally his courage to lead the troops personally!

Dou Jiande finally realized the importance of Cao Zhan and Cui Luxing's constant recommendations. Now he not only understood their feelings at that time, but Dou Jiande even wanted to meet Fu Zihou more than they did back then.

"Mr. Dou, Jingjie is telling you the truth. We in the Li Mansion haven't heard from Zihou for a few days!"

Li Jingjie smiled bitterly and raised his hand to Dou Jiande and said.

Compared with Dou Jiande's confession, Li Jingjie was embarrassed at this time. After all, it undoubtedly directly exposed the lies and concealments of the past.

But the mother, upon hearing that Dou Gong was coming, went straight to the backyard to chat with the female members of the family, so she had to face Dou Gong in person.

"This……"

When Dou Jiande heard Li Jingjie's words, he couldn't help but look at Cao Zhan and Cui Luxing.

Even Ying Kai had a strange look on his face, somewhat suspicious of Li Jingjie. After all, what if Li Jingjie still concealed it and didn't tell them...

"Jingjie, may I ask if there was any misunderstanding between you two and Zihou in the past? Why did Zihou specifically mention when he came to Xin County that if he heard your names, he must tell them that they had left Xin County!"

Li Jingjie also knew what Dou Jiande and the others were worried about, so he looked at Cao Zhan and Cui Luxing with a puzzled look on his face, and told them why he had concealed the truth in the past.

"what?"

"..."

Cui Luxing and Cao Zhan were also confused when they heard what Li Jingjie said.

The reason why Li Jingjie concealed the truth was actually because of the two of them, and it was Fu Zihou's instruction. Thinking of this, Cui Luxing and Cao Zhan were at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"Confused!"

Cui Luxing shook his head, smiling and feeling helpless.

Even Cao Zhan couldn't stop laughing.

So it was because of what happened back then! Fu Zihou was on guard against their revenge!

Is it really that serious just because of a trivial matter from the past?

In the main hall.

Under Li Jingjie's puzzled gaze, Cao Zhan calmed down, raised his hand and told Li Jingjie about the misunderstanding.

"What? Did Zihou do something like that in Wanqiu?"

Li Jingjie was stunned when he heard what Cao Zhan said. From Cao Zhan's words, he knew through observation when Fu Zihou passed by the city gate that the thieves had entered the city. He also deduced later that their leader might be Lu Mingyue who had disappeared for more than a year. In the end, he did not care about fame or fortune and let this matter be handed over to someone else.

This……

Is this the Fu Zihou that I saw with my own eyes?

Is this the young man that I saw at the gate of Li’s mansion that day, next to Mr. Fu?
"Brother Jingjie, please don't tell anyone about this!"

After hearing what Cao Zhan said, Dou Jiande also raised his hand and looked at Li Jingjie with a serious expression.

The incident in Qinghe County might have spread, but Gao Shida and his people still didn't know what happened in Wanqiu.

Outside the main hall.

Li Qiong took Guanyinbi and Zhangsun Wuji to see his father and Dou Gong.

But at this moment, I heard the conversation in the main hall.

There was a hint of dazedness on Li Qiong's stunningly beautiful face. Only now did she realize that these things had happened in Wanqiu.

Behind Li Qiong, Guanyinbi and Changsun Wuji couldn't help but look at each other. They looked surprised, but more worried.
