Back to Tang Dynasty to be Emperor

The opening ceremony of the Chang'an competition was held very successfully, which made Li Ke feel that the busyness of the past few days was not in vain.However, the calmer the game seemed, the more uneasy Li Ke felt.Just like the darkness before dawn, it made him feel a little chill.

In the evening, he invited Ma Zhou, Liu Rengui, Su Dingfang, and Xu Jingzong to the study, and began to ask about the situation in the competition, "What do you all think about today's competition?"

Ma Zhou was in charge of the Cuju Temple and was in charge of the entire game. He was the first to say, "Today's opening ceremony was very successful, and the matches of each group went smoothly. The Dinghan team in Group A defeated the Chang'an Fu team [-]-[-], and the Cyclone team and Fei The deer team drew a tie. The Taigan team in the second group beat the Li Tang clan team, and the Lantian team and the Panshan team tied one to one. The Hongtai team and the Qianniuwei team in the third group scored a goal each and shook hands; the Dongyue team won a big victory The Huaxuan team. The Ding Xinrong team lost [-]-[-] to the left and right guards. The Dongxiang team beat the Golden Mastiff team."

Then Su Dingfang was responsible for the safety of the entire game, "During the game, there was no disturbance, the order of the game"

"But today's Dongxiang team's victory over the Golden Mastiff team is something that all Cuju fans did not expect. Because of this game, the audience's attention to Dongxiang team has increased a lot." Liu Rengui added, "Especially their forward named Sun Ning's man, although his appearance is not good, he blends in the crowd, like a drop of water melting into the sea, and does not attract people's attention at all. But less than a moment after the opening on the court, he made a beautiful long pass, which made the audience fascinated Afterwards, he took advantage of a free kick opportunity and broke the goal of the Golden Mastiff team directly in the midfield. Near the end, Sun Ning succeeded in a sneak attack with a long shot and scored his second goal. Won the victory for the Dongxiang team."

"The Dongxiang team beat the Golden Mastiff team? There is a striker Sun Ning?" Li Ke suddenly felt very strange. The Dongxiang team was formed by the Qinghe Cui family, which is considered a wealthy family.However, the Golden Mastiff team was also formed by the Zheng family, and no matter how powerful the Dongxiang team was, it would not be able to beat the Golden Mastiff team to such a disastrous defeat.Doesn't this mean that the two great families are enmity?If, instead of living in my own home, the two families would not be feuded just because of a ball game.Therefore, Li Ke felt that Sun Ning was not as simple as a striker.

Seeing that Li Ke was silent, Liu Rengui continued, "Besides, this Sun Ning is very brave. His golf skills are comparable to Ye Xi's, and his bravery is also comparable to that of Chen Qi."

Hearing what Liu Rengui said, Li Ke felt inexplicably uneasy.He knew that this anxiety came from Sun Ning, and his intuition told him that Sun Ning had a lot of background, but he didn't know exactly what it was.

Ma Zhou noticed Li Ke's serious face, and asked, "Your Highness, are you worried that this Sun Ning will pose a threat to the Dinghan team?"

Li Ke worried: "If Sun Ning only poses a threat to the Dinghan team's game, I am not worried. What I am worried about is whether he has other goals."

"Did His Highness discover something?" Xu Jingzong asked.

"Just now I heard Zheng Ze say that Sun Ning's bravery is comparable to that of Chen Qi, and you all know Chen Qi's ability. Just imagine that a brave man like Chen Qi is subservient to a Cuju team. Doesn't it have any other purpose?" Li Ke Analyzing, "So, this king thinks that Sun Ning must be guarded against."

"Your Highness is very serious," Ma Zhou said seriously, "It's just that the competition has already started, and Sun Ning's outstanding performance in the competition has already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. We can't take measures against him directly, we can only investigate secretly to prevent accidents."

"What King Bin said makes sense. It's not appropriate to spread the word at this time. The competition still has to be carried out step by step." Li Ke ordered, "Sun Ning is handed over to Chen Qi to investigate. Also, when Dingfang is in the competition, you You must always pay attention to Sun Ning's actions. That is, during the intermission, you have to observe in detail where he has been and what he has done, even if you report it to the king."

Su Dingfang cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, Sun Ning will not be allowed to have any misconduct during the competition."

Hearing Su Dingfang's generous words, Li Ke's spirits were refreshed. Looking at these historically famous figures before him, he felt more comforted.He said with emotion: "Now is an extraordinary period. Some people want to put this king to death. Therefore, everyone has to be more vigilant. Although there is no problem in Taoism now, it must be done to prevent it before it happens."

Everyone understood what Li Ke meant, and they all promised to run the Cuju competition well.When everyone left, Li Ke called Chen Qi into the study and said:

"Qi Wang Li You's Cuju team lost the game. With his character, he will definitely not let it go. Maybe they will take action tonight. You must strictly monitor his mansion. If there is any movement, you don't need to report it to me, just act directly. "

Chen Qi said firmly, "The general will understand, please rest assured, Your Highness."

Li Ke glanced at Chen Qi, and said seriously, "There is a member of Sun Ning in the Dongxiang team formed by the Qinghe Cui family. Do you know who he is?"

"The Dongxiang team was formed by Qinghe Cui's family, and the members of the team were selected from among the servants in their respective homes. Therefore, we can only monitor their every move, but cannot verify it in detail." Chen Qizhen reported.

"Dongxiang team has a striker named Sun Ning, you have to find out his details for me at all costs." Li Ke suddenly exuded a sense of majesty, "I would rather he die on the court, or die on the court." I don't want him to do anything bad."

"No..." Chen Qi's answer was very brief.

"The real game has just begun, so you have to play [-] points, pay attention to the problems that arise in the game, and report back as soon as there is a situation." Li Ke said in a deep voice, "If there are not enough people, You just let Dingfang allocate a hundred wolf guards for you. Whatever you want, I will give you. But, you have to remember one thing, that is, if you want to die, you have to die outside the arena; Kill me too."

"I will understand in the end." Chen Qidao.

Coming out of Li Ke's study, Chen Qi arranged for Wang Zhongchang and Zhu Tong, "Call your subordinates and be on standby at the palace at any time, waiting for my order."

Wang Zhongchang and Zhu Tong are guard posts arranged by Chen Qi in the Ming Dynasty, and they are responsible for interrogating suspicious people in Chang'an City.Now that they were suddenly recalled by Chen Qi, the two of them murmured endlessly.

Wang Zhongchang said to Zhu Tong, "Old Zhu, do you think Chen Huwei suddenly called us back, what is the arrangement? Could there be something wrong?"

Both of them, like Houhu Mengshan, are strong men, and they have a lot of ability to be appreciated by Li Ke.Therefore, they are usually very concerned about the affairs of the palace.

Therefore, when Wang Zhongchang asked this question, Zhu Tong thought for a moment, "I don't think anything happened, I guess His Highness has other arrangements! So, Lao Wang, we must do a good job this time, and we must not disappoint His Highness. Houhu and Meng Shan has already won the favor of His Highness, we joined the army together, and then were selected into the palace together to become the captain of His Highness's personal guard, we cannot fall under them."

"Old Zhu, what you are saying is that it is my honor to be His Royal Highness's guard and do things for His Highness. How can we not do what His Highness ordered?" Wang Zhongchang gave Zhu Tong an angry look.

"As long as you are loyal, you are the only one who can do it?" Zhu Tong joked.

"Don't talk about it. It's the most important thing to do. It's time to call people." Wang Zhongchang reminded.

The two stopped talking and left the palace in a hurry.
