Back to Tang Dynasty to be Emperor

In the Cui family's mansion in Yongxingfang, Chang'an City, Cui Hao, the patriarch of the Cui family, was sitting on a chair in the study, drinking tea and chatting with a middle-aged man in his 30s.The middle-aged man was dressed as a servant, but he sat in front of Cui Hao and talked without any restraint.I heard him say, "Patriarch, don't worry, for this Chang'an competition, Sun Ning will definitely help you get the first place."

Cui Hao looks like a good old man. He is in his 60s and looks full of vigor under the wrapping of silk and satin. Although his face is full of wrinkles, the strong goatee on his chin shows his youth and strength.

"Actually, I don't have much hope for you to get the first place. Besides the emperor, the Chang'an competition includes the crown prince and three princes, and all the big families have formed teams to compete. It's not my Cui family's turn. I What I want to know most is your purpose, I don't think you are here to help me win the first place in the competition."

Sun Ning looked at Cui Hao carefully, and it was the first time he discovered that the old man had such profound insights, "Why does the Patriarch need to ask so many questions? What happened to Li Shimin's team participation? Apart from killing brothers and taking the throne by force, Sun Ning What else is he capable of?"

Cui Hao was startled by Sun Ning's words, his hands trembled, the teacup fell to the ground, and he said angrily, "Can you keep your voice down, you are not afraid of death, the old man still has a family to survive."

"Patriarch, if the prince hadn't helped you in times of crisis back then, your Qinghe Cui family would not have been as luxurious as it is today, and you would have been suppressed by Li Shimin long ago. Today, although the prince is no longer here, you have to forget the prince A favor to your Cui family."

"Qian Ning, what are you talking about? When did the old man say that he forgot the kindness that the prince has given to our Cui family?" Cui Hao was furious at what Sun Ning said, and he revealed Sun Ning's real name, "The old man just wants to know about you. The purpose of this trip is nothing more than the purpose of this trip. If you really do something wrong, there is no need for this old man to accompany you, a lunatic, to death. I, Cui Hao, will never forget the kindness of the prince. Take your entire family on board."

Seeing that Cui Hao was really angry, Qian Ning, that is, Sun Ning, didn't dare to provoke him, "Don't worry, Patriarch, I came this time mainly to pay homage to the prince, but I found out about the Chang'an city competition held by Li Ke. So, I came to Chang'an specially , I just want to help you win the first place in the competition and dispel Li Shimin's arrogance."

"You really came here for this?" Cui Hao didn't believe it.

"That's true, I dare not hide it." Qian Ning definitely said.

"Since that's the case, this old man will do whatever you need." Cui Hao had no choice but to hope that his goal was Chang'an Sai.

"Thank you Patriarch," Qian Ning said, but in his eyes, Cui Hao could see him saying thank you, but he actually felt that it was only right for him to help him.

Why!No way, who told me that I didn't think about this matter carefully at the beginning, and when I heard him say that I won the game for my Cuju team, I let him impersonate my servant Sun Ning.Now, I can only act according to his face.

In Prince Qi's mansion, Li You's furious in the mansion after the team lost.Xue Dading, Zan Junmo, and Liang Mengbiao entered the hall, and immediately felt the strange atmosphere in the hall. The maids looked serious, and the three servants were so frightened that they trembled, they did not dare to move forward, and stopped at the door without moving.

When Li You saw the three of them, he said with a deadpan expression, "All three of you watched today's game? How do you feel?"

Seeing Li You's expression, the three of them all seemed trembling, and Li You's face became even uglier seeing them.As he expected, Li Chengqian and Li Ke won easily. Although Li Tai didn't win, he also had a tie.Only his Cuju team returned in a big defeat. How could this not make him feel bad?

Li You couldn't help feeling jealous towards Li Chengqian, Li Ke and Li Tai, why did they get all the good things?God is really unfair, the same is the prince, why do I just recite it like this?Li You was thinking resentfully, especially hating Li Ke, if Li Ke hadn't come up with a new Cuju match in order to please Li Shimin, Li You would not appear too incompetent among the princes.Now, it seems that Li Ke has snatched all the limelight. He is like a dazzling star. He is so bright and eye-catching, but he covers up the light of others.

Li Ke, you've ruined my face, and I can't make you too proud.Li You said cruelly in his heart, his eyes showed a fierce look. "Zan Junmo, how are you preparing for what the king asked you to do?"

Zan Junmo met Li You's cold gaze, and suddenly trembled, "Your Highness, the manpower is ready, and we are waiting for your order."

"Okay," Li You said loudly, "I have to settle this matter for me today, you know?" After finishing speaking, his face revealed a frightening expression, "I want to see the players from the Dinghan team and the Dongxiang team on the court tomorrow. There was a fight."

"I understand," Zan Junmo replied cautiously.

Then, I heard Li You say, "Da Ding, how is your arrangement with Liu Menglong and Zhang Hui?"

"Your Highness, don't worry, the arrangements have been made. They can kidnap the families of the Dongxiang players at any time." Xue Dading, after all, was appointed by the imperial court as the head of the palace, and he didn't want Zan Junmo and Liang Mengbiao to act like villains, "However, from today's game Seeing the outstanding performance of Sun Ning of the Dongxiang team, I wonder if we should make a fuss about Sun Ning?"

Reason impatiently waved his hand and said, "Since you have ideas about this matter, you should do it quickly, but you have to remember one thing, tomorrow I want to see the players of the two teams fighting on the field, and this king wants to see the players in the game. Chaos, understand?" After speaking, his cold eyes swept over everyone, and the three of them were stabbed by Li You's eyes, bowed their heads and said yes, and carefully backed out.

Coming out of Li You's study, Xue Dading said a few words in front of a family member, and the family members nodded their heads and left the palace.Zan Junmo and Liang Mengbiao walked out of the Qi Mansion, turned eastward and westward, and walked into an alley after a while.

Yingwei had already followed Zan Junmo and Liang Mengbiao when they entered the alley, and saw them enter a courtyard.They didn't dare to go any further, and while sending someone to report back, the remaining two continued to lurk in the restaurant across the alley, closely watching the movement on the other side.

After about half a cup of tea, the door of the opposite courtyard opened, and a dozen or so men in night clothes walked out, including Zan Junmo and Liang Mengbiao.I saw that this group of people were all armed with weapons, and they were heading towards Changlefang aggressively.

Chen Qi in the mansion heard the report from the Yingwei, and immediately summoned Wang Zhongchang and Zhu Tong, and brought more than 20 Ye Xijia from the Changle Square of the Yingwei Dynasty.Because, through Yingwei's report, can he guess that the people in Qi Palace want to do something?

Chang'an City in Choushi was silent, like a sleeping girl.And two groups of people dressed in black came towards Changlefang from different places with weapons, making Chang'an City at night look a little weird.

After Qian Ning came out of Cui's mansion, he wandered around Chang'an City, and he didn't go home until midnight.What he returned was not his own home, but Sun Ning's home he pretended to be.Because, pretending to be Sun Ning, he was going to face Sun Ning's wife, so he didn't go back until Sun Ning's family had fallen asleep.

At the same time, Liu Menglong, who was on crutches, and Zhang Hui, who had a gloomy face, were also dispatching troops.They were paid and hired to kidnap Sun Ning's family members.Sun Ning and the others knew that he was just a servant of the Cui Mansion with no background.That's why they agreed to be straightforward.And the remuneration given by the other party is also very high, which is why they don't ask about the kidnapping.
