    "Hey, except for the fourth brother, almost all our brothers are here!" At this moment, Li Zhi suddenly said.  Although the boy had a harmless expression on his face and seemed to just mention Li Tai accidentally, Li Min could swear that Li Zhi, the little fox, definitely did it on purpose.

    "Haha, the fourth brother is arrogant by nature and has never cared much about these things. It is expected that he did not come to participate!" Li Chengqian also seemed to say very casually, but an elusive smile flashed through his eyes.

    Li Min looked at the pair of brothers who sang together, and he couldn't help but feel a little emotional in his heart. As expected of the two empresses, they were indeed more thoughtful than the other brothers.

    Originally, Li Min and Li Ke originally planned to let Li Chengqian and Li Tai participate in this competition with Songtsen Gampo. After all, one of them was disabled and the other was obese and could not ride a bicycle at all.  But Li Chengqian saw this opportunity and deliberately came to participate. As a result, among the princes in Chang'an, except for two who still wore crotchless pants, only Li Tai did not come. This invisibly isolated Li Tai.  In addition, the family card that prevented him from playing this time was the family card. Now that Li Chengqian is disabled and still participating in the competition, he has immediately established the image of a glorious big brother who loves his younger brothers and sisters. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone. No wonder Li Chengqian just treated them so much.  All brothers are so enthusiastic.

    Hearing that Li Chengqian was calm on the surface but full of provocative words on the inside, and thinking about Li Tai's arrogant expression on his brothers on weekdays, the youngest Li Shen had a look of disgust on his face, and although Li Zhi tried his best to control himself  expression, but the trace of pride at the corner of his mouth could not be concealed.  He had been taught a lot by Li Tai on weekdays, so he was the first to mention the other party, and ended up giving Li Chengqian an excellent remark.

    As for Li Zhen, although she felt something was wrong, she didn't understand the key, so she could only remain strong and calm.  However, Li Yun, who had always been looked down upon by others, seemed to have known what his elder brother meant. His expression did not change at all, but when he saw Li Min observing him.  Then he reluctantly showed a smile, and then lowered his head and remained silent. It seemed that this boy was timid.  But he is also a very smart person.

    Not to mention Li Ke and Li Min. After hearing this, they looked at each other, and then Li Ke stood up and said, "What the eldest brother said makes sense. However, the fourth brother is fat and has some difficulty walking, so he cannot come to participate in the bicycle race.  It makes sense!" He first agreed with Li Chengqian's words, and then explained it to Li Tai, so that neither party would be offended.

    "Thank you, Third Brother, for speaking out fairly, otherwise I would have been wronged!" As soon as Li Ke finished speaking, a familiar voice suddenly said from behind him.  When Li Min heard this voice, he couldn't laugh or cry in his heart. It seemed that today's game was really going to be a good show!

    "See Fourth Brother!" Li Min led the group.  With Li Yun and the others, they saluted the fat Li Tai, 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.

    "Yeah!" Li Tai was still as cold as ever to his younger brothers, when he pushed the cart and walked to Li Ke's side.  He nodded deliberately. Although in his opinion, this was already expressing his gratitude, he didn't expect that the other person was his brother at all. It was just rude to nod like this. Fortunately, Li Ke also understood  Li Tai's temper.  I don't want to argue with the other party at all.

    "Brother, you are really good at it. It's a pity that I'm a little better informed and heard a little bit of rumors in advance, so I'm really sorry to disappoint you!" Li Tai's voice was very soft, but there was no meaning in the words.  He was not polite at all, relying on Li Shimin's favor and Li Chengqian's foot disability, so he had long ignored this eldest brother.

    When Li Min saw that Li Tai was also participating, he immediately thought of two possibilities. The first was that Li Tai and Li Chengqian thought of each other, and both thought that the other would not participate, so they came to isolate the other.  But looking at Li Tai's performance now, this possibility should be ruled out, and Li Tai's temperament probably makes him unable to do such scheming things, so there is only the second possibility left, which is to get the news in advance.  So I was forced to come to compete.

    "Fourth brother, what do you mean? Why can't I understand you?" Although Li Chengqian was a little surprised that Li Tai was so well-informed, given his status, he naturally would not show any expression of surprise. Instead, he looked innocent.  Follow Li Tai and make the other party refuse to admit his guilt. Anyway, there is no evidence at all for this kind of thing.

    Li Tai also knew that there was nothing Li Chengqian could do about this kind of thing. He snorted angrily, turned around and pushed the car to stand next to the other party, apparently wanting to compete with Li Chengqian.  However, Li Min couldn't laugh or cry when he looked at these two brothers. One of them was disabled and the other was obese, and neither of them was able to exercise. I'm afraid that even if they were to ride on a bicycle, they would only be able to last a few hundred meters at most.

    ???????????????????????????????????? ????Entering the competition venue under the protection of the Tubo warriors, except for the nine of them, the surrounding riders were also ready. There were crowds of spectators on both sides of the track, all looking eagerly at Li Chengqian who was at the front.  Waiting for others, it's a pity that there are guards on both sides of the track, preventing them from getting too close.

    On the city wall facing the starting line, a temporary sloping stand was built. Li Shimin and his concubines from the palace were sitting on it. There were many civil and military officials with their families on both sides, but Qinghe was the only one.  The girl did not sit properly on the stage. Instead, she led Gao Yang and a group of other unmarried princesses to lie on the wall, staring at the game below with excitement.

    This match is related to the marriage with Tubo, and the marriage is naturally related to the fate of the princesses like Qinghe. Although real princesses are rarely used in marriages, and usually only the eldest daughter gets married, the eldest daughter is also their cousin, and even  It might also be their best friends, so the princesses like Qinghe are also extremely concerned about this game.

    Li Min sat astride the bicycle and looked up, just in time to see Qinghe holding Sizi and waving to him. Sizi shouted excitedly when Brother Six saw him.  After greeting several sisters, Li Min looked to the side again, and saw Wen Xin and Li Ke's princess, his cousin and sister-in-law, standing together, surrounded by a group of wealthy ladies, looking at the people below.  Pointing, covering his mouth and smiling.  Wen Xin's eyes were always on Li Min. When her husband saw her, she immediately gave him a sweet smile, but at the same time she also made a gesture to let him be careful. After all, Li Min had just recovered from the illness and his body had not fully recovered yet.  .

    Li Min also nodded to reassure Wen Xin, then looked away, turned around and looked at Cheng Hualiang and others behind him. They were all loyal supporters of cycling races, so they would not miss this round-the-city cycling race.  Everyone was ready. Finally, under the referee's order, nearly a hundred players worked together and rushed out of the starting line on their bicycles, and the city-circling bicycle race officially began.

    In the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an City was ten kilometers wide from east to west and about nine kilometers long from north to south. In addition, the race track around the city was not close to the city wall, so the entire race course was about forty kilometers in total. Li Min invented  The original bicycle has been improved several times by the skilled craftsmen of the Tang Dynasty, but the speed is estimated to be only 15 or 16 kilometers per hour at most. Based on this calculation, it usually takes two or three hours to complete the entire race.  In the eyes of future generations, this can be regarded as a high-intensity exercise, let alone riding a very heavy bicycle like the Datang.

    At the beginning of the race, Li Min followed Songtsen Gampo without any arrogance. He was also faster when the opponent was faster, and slower when the opponent was slower. He always maintained a distance of several meters, no matter how many riders around him passed him.  He didn't even pay attention. After all, they were not here to win the championship in this game. As long as they defeated Songtsen Gampo, his goal would be achieved!

    Songtsen Gampo obviously had the same idea. Li Min 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 and weak  Disabled, in his eyes, he was just making up the numbers.

    In fact, this is indeed the case. Among the eight princes participating in the competition, the one who couldn't hold on was the youngest Li Shen. He was less than ten years old and couldn't ride for long. He started from Mingde Gate and headed west.  When he arrived at Anhua Gate, which was closest to Mingde Gate, he couldn't hold on any longer. His little face turned red, his thin calves kicked up and down, and he kept breathing heavily.  When the guards saw that something was wrong, they immediately advised Li Shen to stop and then sent him to the city wall to rest.

    Compared with Li Shen, the performance of Li Chengqian and Li Tai surprised Li Min. Although one was disabled and the other was obese, the two were obviously at loggerheads and neither of them was willing to leave first. Unfortunately, the speed of the two was too fast.  Slowly, he was quickly left behind by all the players. When Li Min turned around and could barely see the shadow of the two of them, they were still crawling slowly on the track like two snails.

    Later, Li Min found out that the two men climbed to Yanping Gate at a snail's speed, and finally fell to the ground due to exhaustion. However, by this time they had ridden almost one-sixth of the entire race. Judging from their physical conditions,  , it can indeed be called a miracle.

    As for Li Zhen and Li Zhi, they were able to keep up with the large army at first, but later they were gradually left behind because of their young age and frailty. However, Li Yun, who was only two years younger than Li Min, had good physical strength and kept following.  Li Min's military situation formed a situation where Li Ke was in front, Songtsen Gampo was behind, and the two brothers Li Min and Li Yun were behind. As for the other riders, Li Min had no time to care about them.  .  .  )
