Li Ye was so shocked that his heart almost jumped out of his chest. How could the other party know? Is she deceiving him?
Li Ye avoided her half-smiling gaze and pretended to be calm: "Madam, do you think your empress is somewhere with me?"
"Stop pretending to me, how could my sister disappear out of thin air? It would be weird if she wasn't hidden by someone. Apart from you, I can't think of anyone else who has the ability to hide her."
Li Ye shook his head, "Everyone knows that she was hidden in the harem by the emperor."
Yang Yupei sneered: "Because everyone felt that only today's emperor was present at that time, and only he had this ability. Even I believed it at first, but I spent a lot of money to ask Eunuch Yan, who was in charge of the daily life of the harem, and there was no such thing at all. It had never been the case.
Never appeared.
Then I continued to investigate and found out that you were also in Chang'an when the Supreme Emperor escaped, and I suddenly realized it. It was not until later that I found a clue that I finally confirmed that my sister was by your side."
"What clues did you find?"
"Aunt Gongsun, she has been following you. You were in Xiangyang, she was in Xiangyang, you were in Hanzhong, she was also in Hanzhong, you were in Longyou, and she is also in Longyou now. I figured it out later that she was not following you.
She is actually following my sister."
Li Ye sighed and said: "Some things are better to be confused. Knowing too much can lead to death."
Yang Yupei smiled brightly on his face, "You finally admitted it, but you won't kill me because I have a sense of propriety and I won't tell anyone, including my daughter."
Speaking of this, Yang Yupei's eyes darkened, "Except for my daughter, she is the only one left. Even my son did not escape the disaster. You don't understand this kind of loneliness without anyone in the world.
Only when someone from afar makes me think about her, do I feel a little warmth in my heart. I just hope that she can live a good life. After seeing through glory and wealth, and experiencing life and death, I realize that family love is the most precious."
Li Ye nodded, "She is now a monk, Taoist name Yuzhu Zhenren, and she is indeed protected by me. She lives a peaceful life, but it is not what you think."
Yang Yupei smiled slyly, "I found the real person Yuzhu of Taiqing Palace in Xiangyang County Yamen. I think she is her. The time and place where she appeared are completely within your protection. Your Highness, can I see her?"
Li Ye was silent for a moment and nodded. He looked at Yang Yupei sternly and said, "But I hope you understand that this matter is related to my reputation. No one can know except you, otherwise I will go on a killing spree.
Even you and your daughter and son-in-law may not be able to be saved."
Li Ye's stern gaze made Yang Yupei shiver in her heart. She quickly put away her smile and solemnly said: "I swear on the souls of my parents in heaven that I will keep this secret and never let anyone else know about it, including my daughter and son-in-law.
"
Li Ye's eyes softened and he asked again: "Remember, she is now a female Taoist priest, her Taoist name is Yuzhu Zhenren."
Yang Yupei understood what Li Ye meant. This was his last line of defense. If the news spread that the imperial concubine was with him, she would be protected by him and become a female Taoist priest.
Yang Yupei stood up and said: "The world is difficult, so Your Highness should take care of himself."
Li Ye looked at her and said: "If you feel unsafe, you can also go to Longyou to live."
Yang Yupei smiled brightly, "With Your Highness's promise, maybe I will go to Longyou and buy a village to live in."
She walked a few steps, then turned back and smiled at Li Ye: "Let me give you another gift! The emperor actually gave you my house as a palace. Under the back hall, there is a secret room in the underground palace, and the entrance is at the back.
Within the walls of the hall, all the treasures I have collected are hidden inside. Your Highness, see you later!"
Yang Yupei left in a hurry. Li Ye watched her go away. He picked up the gem necklace on the table. It was as green as the endless grassland and so touching. Yang Yupei actually gave the Caliphate gem back to him. Li Ye
Suddenly I realized that Yang Yupei had completely let go of the past.
These two sisters have experienced the ultimate glory and wealth in the world, and also experienced the cruel human tragedy. Both of them have broken through the world of mortals and begun to return to their true nature.
Li Ye immediately left the Jinzou Courtyard and came to the Chongrenfang Polo Ground. The polo ground was surrounded by fans in the square, cheering and cheering. On the court, the two teams were fighting fiercely. Duan Xiushi found someone from his own soldiers.
Several cavalrymen who were good at polo were recruited to assist in the training, and two teams were formed for actual combat training.
The leader of the Anxi polo team at that time was Duan Xiushi. He was very experienced and organized the training in an orderly manner. Yan Quanming also built several carriages as logistical support carriages.
At this time, an official came forward to pay homage to Li Ye, "I'd like to see you, His Highness King Qi!"
"Who are you."
"The lower official is Chen Tai, a doctor in the Ministry of War's Driving Department, who is also one of the organizers of this polo match."
Seeing that the official looked familiar, Li Ye smiled and asked, "Have we met before?"
"His Royal Highness must have seen me. I used to be the official of the Polo Department."
Li Ye suddenly realized, "It turns out to be Chen Shuling. Why does it look familiar to me? Have you been transferred to the Ministry of War now?"
"Reporting to Your Highness, the Polo Office was originally an official office under the Driving Department. After it was abolished, the humble position was changed to a member of the driving department, Wailang, and he was promoted to doctor at the beginning of the year."
Li Ye nodded, "You should be familiar with hosting this polo competition!"
"It's much simpler than before, the rules are all ready-made."
Li Ye smiled and asked again: "I'm a little curious. The Polo League has been cancelled. Where have all the former polo players and black players gone?"
"Hey! Most of them have joined the army, and most of them died on the battlefield. The polo league that was once in full swing has disappeared like this. It has only been a few years."
"If this is a success, I think it will continue to be held in the future. I think this kind of competition that is conducive to improving the morale of the army should be held more often."
"With His Highness's suggestion, I believe the imperial court will definitely consider it."
Li Ye smiled and asked again: "Which of the eight teams is the strongest? Does Chen Shijun have any opinion?"
Chen Tai shook his head and smiled bitterly: "They are all brand new teams, and I don't even know anything about them!"
At this time, Duan Xiushi ran over, saluted Li Ye, and smiled at Chen Tai: "I am Duan Xiushi, the leader of the Helong team. Mr. Chen is looking for me?"
Chen Tai cupped his hands and said with a smile: "I came here specifically to inform you that the first round of draws will be held at the Ministry of War tomorrow morning at 10:00, and the rules will be announced. Please be sure to participate, team leader!"
Duan Xiushi nodded, "I will definitely be there."
Li Ye smiled and said, "I don't have to go!"
"Your Highness, there is no need to go. If Your Highness wants to come, of course you are welcome."
Chen Tai bowed again, said goodbye and left.
At this time, Bai Xiaode also rode over, clasped his fists and said with a smile: "Your Highness, everyone is expecting you to show your skills!"
Li Ye looked at the expectant eyes of all the golfers and smiled happily: "I haven't played for several years, let me try a shot!"
Li Ye picked up a heavy pole, swung it a few times, and found the feeling. He urged his horse to run onto the field and shouted: "General Bai passes the ball!"
Bai Xiaode hesitated, this was the 150-step line!
After a moment's hesitation, he still hit the ball with one shot. The polo flew out in a straight line and shot towards Li Ye. Li Ye galloped on his horse and hit the ball with one shot in the air. The polo shot out a parabola and accurately hit the target one hundred and fifty steps away.
hole.
Everyone was stunned, then cheered and shouted excitedly.
Bai Xiaode was so excited that he passed seven balls, and Li Ye also hit seven shots in a row, all of which were accurately scored from 150 steps away.
Everyone was shocked. Duan Xiushi rushed forward and said excitedly: "If your highness comes on the field, we will definitely win the championship!"
Li Ye smiled and said: "You can just go ahead and fight. At the most critical moment, I will help you turn the tide of the battle!"
At this time, Bai Xiaode said with shock on his face: "Your Highness, one hundred and fifty steps away, scored eight out of eight shots. This reminds me of the Flying Shark back then."
Li Ye laughed loudly, turned around and urged the horse away. He smiled from a distance and said: "Flying Shark is a thing of the past, forget him!"
Bai Xiaode and Duan Xiushi couldn't open their mouths for a long time, "It turns out that His Highness is a flying shark."
