Li Ye knew that he had offended the Yang family, and he also hoped that powerful people could support him. King Si Ning was a generous man. Although he had no strength, he had a high status. With him protecting him, the Yang family would not dare to do anything to him.
Sample.
Li Ye then agreed to give Qiao Xingzhong face by playing ball for King Si Ning.
But he also implicitly expressed his attitude. The premise is that cooperation is happy. Happy cooperation has many aspects, including a happy mood and a harmonious relationship, but the more important thing is the reward. To put it simply, how much can you give me if I play a game?
?
Leng Yue heard Xian Xian's idea and smiled slightly: "The prince said that he wants to invite Mr. Li to play for a season. It will take almost half a year. There will be ten games in total. As long as Mr. Li plays, regardless of winning or losing, he will give Mr. Li every game.
Five hundred coins."
Gao Lian subconsciously covered his mouth. Five hundred dollars per game was the price of a second-level polo player. A white-ball player would only earn about a thousand dollars in a season. The prince was really spending a lot of money.
But then, Gao Lian thought of another thing. Today, the prince bet on Fei Shark, but he won 20,000 guan. Calculated in this way, 5,000 guan in a season is really not much.
Li Ye nodded, "It is my honor to serve the prince!"
Leng Yue was overjoyed that the other party agreed.
He quickly took out two temporary franchise agreements and handed them to Li Ye, "Master Li, take a look. If there are no problems, we will sign them and take effect."
Li Ye read it over and felt that there was nothing wrong with it. It was clearly written on it. Please play ten games in a season for 500 yuan per game.
He signed his name with a pen, dipped his thumb in some vermilion mud, and put his fingerprint under his name.
Leng Yue also signed and took his fingerprints. He smiled again and said: "Master Li, if you have any difficulties, do you need us to come forward?"
Li Ye nodded, "I really have two things I want to trouble Mr. Leng!"
Li Ye took out the agreement signed by him and Yang Hui, put it on the table and pushed it over. He smiled and said: "There is a scoundrel who owes me a horse. Can you ask Mr. Leng to ask for it for me?"
Leng Yue looked at the agreement and said with a smile: "It's a trivial matter, if there is anything else, Mr. Li, just speak out!"
"This is the same Yang Hui. Last night he sent people to climb over the wall and poisoned my horse to death. I'm worried that the Yang family will continue to threaten the safety of my family!"
Leng Yue pondered for a moment and said: "The poisonous horse thing should have nothing to do with the Yang family!"
Li Ye raised his eyebrows, "Why do you see that?"
Leng Yue smiled and said: "Yang Guozhong and his son will not do such a thing. If it spreads, it will make people laugh. It's not that I am disrespectful to the young master. Young Master Li is not worth their troubles. This should be done by Yang Hui without authorization, and Yang
Home has nothing to do with it.”
Li Ye nodded, "I understand, elephants are not interested in ants."
Leng Yue smiled apologetically: "Although it's a bit rude, it's true!"
"What should I do about this Yang Hui?" Li Ye asked again.
Leng Yue said calmly: "This is easy. I will find someone to punish him and warn him. If he dares to mess up again, I will send him directly to the graveyard."
"But he is Yang Zheng's son, and the Yang family is in the limelight..."
Leng Yue laughed, "Don't worry, I can control this degree. What is Yang Hui afraid of and what is not afraid? I have already investigated it. The Yang family polo team is our first opponent. I have to do what I need to do."
They can do it all.”
Since Leng Yue was so sure, Li Ye didn't ask any more questions.
"One last thing, I don't want Qi Yong to lose the chance to join the team because of me!"
"Won't!"
This time it was the team leader Gao Lian who answered him, "My master wrote him a letter of recommendation. He does not need to take a test and is directly promoted to a white golfer. He is now the No. 10 golfer of the Ningwang team and is a substitute golfer. You can play with him."
It doesn’t matter!”
"That's good! I'll toast you both."
Li Ye raised his glass and toasted Leng Yue and Gao Lian with a glass of wine. Then he smiled at Gao Lian and said, "Excuse me, Leader Gao, could you please tell me more about the polo league?"
……….
After coming down from the restaurant, nearly an hour had passed, but Li Ye unexpectedly found Qiao Bin still standing at the door of the restaurant, holding his polo club in his hand. He felt really guilty, "Have you been waiting for me here?"
Qiao Bin smiled and said, "My dad went to exchange his polo profits. He asked me to wait for you here. I don't dare to leave."
"Then you haven't had lunch yet!"
Qiao Bin pointed at the food stall opposite and said with a smile, "I want to go there and have a bowl of noodle soup."
"Let's go together! I invite you."
Li Ye smiled bitterly and said: "This restaurant looks very luxurious, but I can't get enough to eat!"
The two of them came to the food stall, which sells noodle soup, that is, knife-sliced noodles. They each ordered a bowl of diced pork noodles. The owner of the stall is a man in his thirties, and he is very good with the knife. He slices the noodles very quickly.
It's thin and thin, and the same size. Li Ye and Qiao Bin were stunned. This is also a master!
Qiao Bin asked: "Brother Li, if I practice polo hard now, can I reach your level?"
"Wait a minute, let me ask him first!"
Li Ye smiled and asked, "What do you call this stall owner?"
"My surname is Luo. Everyone calls me Xiao Luo Dao. Look at my sign!"
There is a triangular apricot-yellow flag above his head, with three big characters on it, "Little Luo Dao".
"It means that I am good at cutting noodles. It took me twenty years to perfect this skill!"
Li Ye picked up a chopstick, spun it in the air, and accurately landed in the chopstick cage about a foot away. He smiled and said, "I threw the chopstick just now, can Brother Luo do it?"
The stall owner smiled and said: "This is hut throwing! I can also do it. I can almost always hit the one-foot line. In our hometown, I am the best in hut throwing."
"What about the two-foot line and the three-foot line?"
The stall owner shook his head, "The two-foot line is just a little bit close. Ten arrows can hit half of them at most, but the three-foot line is completely out of reach!"
"Thank you, Brother Luo!"
Li Ye then said to Qiao Bin: "His noodle cutting is actually just like us playing polo. Practice makes perfect, but familiarity with hands and eyes is only the first level. It is called life and two. From unfamiliarity to proficiency, can you understand?"
Qiao Bin nodded, "I understand!"
Li Ye continued: "The second level is called two begets three, from familiarity to understanding. I have practiced polo for ten years, and I made a breakthrough not long ago. I have achieved from familiarity to understanding. But not everyone can
Being able to do this depends on everyone's understanding.
This Brother Luo has been practicing polo for twenty years, but he is still at the starting stage of the first level. If he is practicing polo hard, he will be at the level of Wang Shun and Qi Yong, and Xiao Feilong is a little better than them."
"What about Falcon and Suzaku?"
"They have broken through the first level, and their skills are actually on par with mine, but their strength is not as good as mine, so they can only hit five balls at most in a hundred steps."
Qiao Bin sighed and said: "I understand, this is the same as practicing calligraphy. Master said that some people practice calligraphy for a lifetime, but they can only write beautiful words, while some people can become famous after practicing calligraphy for five years.
Because individuals have different levels of understanding. Unfortunately, my understanding is relatively low."
Li Ye thought. If he practiced writing by controlling his mind, could he get twice the result with half the effort?
When he signed the agreement just now, those two words "chicken feet" really made him blush.

After eating the noodles, Li Ye realized that he didn't have any money on him. He had a few taels of silver in his horse bag, but the horse was ridden home by Fatty Zhang. In the end, it was Qiao Bin who paid the bill.
Soon, Qiao Xingzhong came back with a happy face. His son had earned him 400 yuan, which was his annual income.
The two of them got on the carriage, and Qiao Xingzhong gave him an envelope containing the counter ticket from Baoji Cabinet and a jade pendant for withdrawing money, totaling two thousand and sixty guan.
Qiao Xingzhong was very excited when he heard that Li Ye had signed a one-year contract with the Ningwang Polo Team. Li Ye was the first one to be recommended by him, so that he could gain face in front of the prince.
"Thank you Mr. Li for giving me this face!"
Li Ye smiled slightly and said: "Uncle Qiao, please call me Ah Ye! It's a bit weird for a poor boy from Yonghefang to call me Young Master."
Qiao Xingzhong agreed happily and said with a smile: "Now you are no longer a poor boy. With my help, you will have three thousand dollars. You are also a respectable family in Chang'an and can buy a small house."
Li Ye pondered for a moment and asked, "How much would it cost to buy a house like Uncle Shi's?"
