Tibet

Li Ye looked at Suzaku again. She was extraordinarily beautiful today, with shiny black hair, a moon-shaped bun, thin and curved eyebrows, a pair of almond eyes, as bright as gems, and a high-spirited look. Her nose was high and her face was like white jade. , is very tall, at least 1.7 meters tall.

She is not wearing a robe today. She is wearing a crimson robe with wide sleeves and flowers, which matches the snow-white skin of her neck. She is wearing a large red and yellow corset skirt, and her arms are wrapped with green silk. She looks particularly graceful. , which made Li Ye a little stunned for a moment.

When Zhuque saw Li Ye looking at him blankly, he couldn't help but smile shyly and asked, "What does my grandmother want from you?"

"I gave her a string of Buddhist beads, which were held by eminent monks. She has seen this string of Buddhist beads, and they are related to her. She is very happy."

"Does she like you?" Suzaku asked softly.

"not bad!"

At this time, several officials and couples walked by and looked at them with a smile. Suzaku suddenly felt a little shy and smiled at Li Ye: "Come with me, I will take you to a fun place."

Suzaku took Li Ye to the atrium building complex. Only then did Li Ye realize why there weren't many young men and women outside. So they were all here?

There is a large garden in the middle of the building complex. All the buildings are built around this garden. Almost every one of them is a palace, where various activities are held, including playing backgammon, playing pot, and competing in swordsmanship and polo. , of course, there are also various performances, such as singing and dancing, illusions, sumo wrestling, etc., attracting a large number of guests.

The most lively places are Hu Tou and sword competition. Hu Tou is also called Wen She, which is more popular among young ladies and scholars. Li Ye once fought with Yang Hui once and made a sensation with his score of 50.99.

"Let's play hut!"

Zhuque smiled at Li Ye and said, "My strength was not as good as yours during the polo test, but my skills are not inferior to yours. Let's compete again."

Li Ye nodded, "If you like it, I'll play with you!"

There are three types of pot throwing, the one-foot line, the three-foot line and the five-foot line. Among them, there is a long queue in front of the one-foot line. There are also a few masters throwing in the three-foot line. Most people are watching, but there is no one in front of the five-foot line. Empty, no one.

"when!"

Someone hit the three-foot line, which caused a round of applause.

Suzaku originally wanted to compete with Li Ye in the three-foot line competition, but when she saw clearly the person who was throwing arrows in the three-foot line, her pretty face couldn't help but sank, and she smiled at Li Ye and said, "Let's go throw the five-foot line."

Li Ye smiled and nodded, and followed her to the five-foot line. There was no one in front of the five-foot line. A steward came over and said with a smile, "Miss Third, do you want arrows?"

Suzaku nodded, "Give me ten!"

The steward immediately brought over two boxes of copper arrows, each with five arrows. Zhuque handed Li Ye a box of arrows and said with a smile: "According to the rules, five arrows per round, and one arrow is worth ten points. Let's try a round first." .”

Li Ye waved his hand, "You come first!"

Suzaku is also good at throwing knives. She and Li Ye are in reverse order. Li Ye has been practicing polo since he was a child, and later practiced throwing knives and archery. Zhuque has been practicing throwing knives and archery since he was a child, and only later started practicing polo.

Suzaku took out a copper arrow, struck a flower in his hand, let out a light scold, and the copper arrow flew out, drawing a long parabola, 'Dang! ’ Accurately enter the pot.

"Wonderful!"

Before Li Ye could praise him, someone nearby applauded loudly.

The person cheering was the person who had shot the three-foot ray into the pot just now. He was also a young man. He was tall and fat, with a flat face, a flat nose, small eyes, and dark skin. He was really unattractive, but He was wearing a purple robe and had a goldfish bag hanging on his waist. He looked like he was no ordinary powerful man.

Purple gold fish bag means wearing a purple robe and hanging a gold fish bag. Only high-ranking officials of third rank or above are qualified to wear it. However, some powerful children were also given purple gold fish bags because of their fathers, such as Yang Guozhong's three sons.

The Yang family's son has not been seen. Who is this man wearing a purple gold fish bag?

The tall and fat man stepped forward and said shamelessly: "Sister Zhuque, when you take off the mask on your face, I almost don't recognize you. Let me play with you!"

"No, I'm competing with my friends, please get out of the way!" Suzaku said coldly.

"Why did you take off the mask on your face? Is your previous oath cancelled?"

Suzaku said angrily: "What's wrong with you? I told you. Please don't affect my game!"

"The mask on your face." The tall and fat man was still unwilling.

Suzaku yelled angrily, "What does my mask have to do with you? If I took it off for someone else, what does it have to do with you?"

Li Ye suddenly understood a little bit, and his heart was beating fast. She took off the mask for herself in the tavern last year!

The tall, fat man finally couldn't keep it off his face and said angrily: "You have a bad face all day long. Who wants to please you? You're just a man!"

Suzaku suddenly turned around and glared at him. The tall and fat man snorted and said to his men behind him: "Let's go!"

The man turned around and walked away, but Li Ye stared at the man's entourage. He was similar in stature to himself, with extremely sharp eyes, long hands and feet, and strong arms. Every step he took seemed to be measured, and he was extremely precise. He was a master. !

"Senior sister, who is he? He speaks so unpleasantly?" Li Ye asked.

Suzaku said coldly: "He is An Lushan's second son An Qingxu. His brother An Qingzong is very low-key, but he is very arrogant."

It turned out that this person was An Qingxu. Li Ye frowned, "Isn't he in Fan Yang? Why did he come to Chang'an?"

"He has lived in Luoyang for a long time. It seems that he will come to replace his brother, and An Lushan will also come to Chang'an."

Li Ye immediately understood that although the assassination case was settled and the emperor let An Lushan go, An Lushan had to go to Beijing to apologize and thank the emperor for his forgiveness.

In addition, Anqing Zong also had to temporarily avoid the limelight and let An Qingxu take the lead for a while.

Suzaku smiled sweetly, "Don't let this kind of person put you off, let's continue, it's your turn!"

Li Ye smiled and threw the first arrow casually. He didn't even need to aim. He just threw it casually. The copper arrow hit the pot accurately without even touching the edge. At this time, many people came forward to watch, and they suddenly cheered. Cheers.

Outside the lobby, An Qingxu looked coldly at the match between Suzaku and Li Ye. It was obviously not a match. The two were playing huotong affectionately, and An Qingxu felt sad and annoyed in his heart.

An Qingxu is not married yet, and his brother An Qingzong has married the princess. Then when An Qingxu comes here, he will not marry the daughter of the clan. He must marry the legitimate daughter of a famous family. Of course, he will not marry the fifth surname Qiwang. An Lushan is even more If you value the Guanlong family, who can compare with the Dugu family?

There are several legitimate daughters of marriageable age in the Dugu family, but Suzaku is the best looking, with a top-notch appearance, figure, and temperament.

An Qingxu had already fallen in love with Suzaku and found several opportunities to get close to her. However, Suzaku was as cold as ice and refused to give him a chance. Today, he didn't give him any face at all.

But there was a reason why An Qingxu lost his temper and scolded Suzaku today. That was because Suzaku had actually taken off his mask. He had long heard that Suzaku would take off the mask of the person he liked, but this person was not him. How could he not become angry with shame? ?

"Who is that boy throwing pot with her?" An Qingxu asked through gritted teeth.

The entourage behind An Qingxu was An Shouzhong, a famous general in Youzhou. He was known as the most powerful general in Youzhou. He commanded An Lushan's most elite cavalry, the Yiluohe Army. He was also An Lushan's adopted son. He happened to be studying the art of war in Luoyang. This time Come to Chang'an with An Qingxu.

An Shouzhong was also a member of Fan Yang's polo team. He passed the ball from the left and competed with Li Ye twice on the court. His eyes were very sharp and he recognized Li Ye.

"If I admit this person correctly, he should be Fei Shark, the main shooter of the Tianpeng Polo Team."

"A polo player?"

"Second Young Master, it's not that simple. If he is indeed Fei Shark, then he is Li Linfu's grandson. He is a very powerful person. He fought against Dashi in the Anxi Army and was named General Yunhui by the Emperor!"

An Qingxu watched from a distance as Suzaku watched Li Ye throwing the pot lovingly. He was so jealous that he snorted coldly, "Li Linfu is finished, what can he do to his grandson? Take care of him for me!"
