Chapter 173 Pei Ye, you will regret it sooner or later
Liu Chuang and Pang Dahai have a perfect understanding with each other. They know what the other is going to say just by looking at each other's eyes.
Liu Chuang raised his eyebrows: You didn’t tell Commander Pei that the prince is here, right?
Pang Dahai shook his head gently: No, how is that possible, am I that kind of person?
Liu Chuang nodded slightly: Well, I knew you are reliable, brother.
Ye Hanting looked around, looked at Pang Dahai and asked, "Where are the others?"
Pang Dahai looked bewildered. "I left. Didn't I tell you?"
Liu Chuang was confused. Didn’t the prince say that he would wait for him to pick him up?
How come he left so quietly?
When Ye Hanting heard that Chu Li had left, he became agitated, "Where did he go? How long have you been gone?"
Pang Dahai didn't know the identity of Liu Chuang's friend. He was bold and said nonsense: "Master Taifu, the person you are looking for has returned to the capital."
Ye Hanting frowned slightly, "I came here from the capital, how come I didn't meet her!"
Pang Dahai met his oppressive gaze and said calmly, "I don't know either. They just left when they said they would, and I can't tie them up, right?"
Pei Ye's cheeks flushed slightly, and he poured himself another glass of wine. After drinking the fishy and spicy wine, he smiled and shook his head. The dignified Grand Tutor actually chased the Prince all the way from the capital to here.
"Master Taifu, you are really worried about him. Your love is so sincere and touching!"
Ye Hanting smiled coldly, "Pei Ye, you will regret it sooner or later."
After saying this, he jumped on his horse and left with Chi Yan.
Pei Ye was feeling depressed because he lost the woman who looked very much like Chu Chu. He was drunk and didn't understand what Ye Hanting said at all.
Ye Hanting was sitting on his horse feeling depressed. He said, "Lan Yi, lead the people to take the main road."
"Chi Yan, follow me and take the small road back to the capital."
Lan Yi asked the question in his mind, "Master, what if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't return to the capital?"
Ye Hanting was still upset about Chu Li's deception. He said angrily, "Never mind. Let her go wherever she wants!"
Although he felt that the man named Pang Dahai might be lying.
However, Pang Dahai also lied at Chu Li's instruction.
Since Chu Li didn't want to go back, he gave her freedom.
Chi Yan looked at his master's expression and knew that it seemed that the prince had really hurt his master's heart.
They have come so far but haven't seen anyone yet. It would be strange if his master is not angry.
Who can be blamed for that? It's because his master is too enthusiastic.
He also noticed that the prince had no feelings for his master.
Otherwise, it wouldn't have been more than four months without even a letter.
When Lan Yi left, he reminded him, "You must protect the master."
Chi Yan patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, the master knows how to do things."
"I think the master is quite disappointed. Does he really like the prince?" Lan Yi asked in a low voice.
Chi Yan looked at Lan Yi as if he were a fool, "What do you think?"
Lan Yi said indifferently: "Although I also admire the prince, I think it's good that the master can't find the prince. It's good to end the relationship between men that shouldn't exist as soon as possible."
Chi Yan shook his head. "If the prince comes back and coaxes the master with sweet words, believe it or not, the master will forgive him in a few days at most!"
Lan Yi raised an eyebrow, "Maybe."
It's not like they haven't seen how powerful the prince's mouth is, how he can make his master lose himself.
Only the prince has this ability.
Lan Yi caught a glimpse of Ye Hanting's back as he rode farther and farther away, and warned him, "Go catch up!"
Chi Yan couldn't help but sigh, "Master is so eager to go home!"
He whipped his horse and galloped after him.
......
On the other side, Chu Li and his children turned a corner and headed to Dingyuan Town.
"Master, Commander Pei won't chase us, right?" Bing Xia looked outside the carriage nervously.
An hour ago, the master came back and asked them to evacuate urgently.
While they were packing up, they heard Chu Li say that Pei Ye might have discovered this place.
So, Chu Li and Huan Yan changed back into their original clothes and left Taoyuan Village immediately with Chu Li.
Two hours later, the group arrived at Dingyuan Town.
In the inn, Chu Li settled everything and went out alone, taking Concubine Shu's ring and gift with him.
For some reason, she had a premonition that this time she must meet the person that Concubine Shu asked her to meet.
She followed the address on the note, asked around, and stopped in front of an ordinary house.
An old man was sitting in the concierge's room basking in the sun.
The old man had a ruddy complexion and his clothes were patched and tattered, but quite clean.
The old man looked up and saw a gentle androgynous man standing at the door.
After taking a look, he closed his eyes again and continued to fan himself.
Chu Li nodded slightly, "Old man, please let me know that I have been asked to come and visit the owner of this house."
The old man reluctantly opened his eyes and walked into the yard, fanning himself.
After a while, the old man said, "My master said he doesn't want to see you anymore. Please go."
Chu Li smiled and asked him, "Old man, how can you lie?"
The old man said impatiently: "If you don't want to see me, then don't see me. Why would I lie to you?"
Chu Li's smile deepened, "Junior Chu Li greets Prime Minister Li."
The old man frowned, the palm-leaf fan in his hand stopped waving, and his eyes became cold and stern.
Then he turned and walked into the yard without saying a word.
After a while, Chu Li heard his voice, "You can go now. I have been living in seclusion for many years and I don't want anyone to disturb my peaceful life."
Chu Li's voice came from outside the door, "Your daughter asked me to come and see you. This gift is a token of her love. I'll leave it at the door. She's doing well in the palace and misses you very much."
Li Yu'an's eyes were red. He hadn't seen his daughter for many years.
Of course he knew who Chu Li was.
The fact that the current crown prince was able to find him must have been his daughter’s idea.
However, he was heartbroken by the previous emperor and did not like Emperor Qingyuan.
He was not sure whether Chu Li, as the crown prince, would be like his grandfather and father.
Chu Li took out the ring and said, "Concubine Shu also asked me to bring a gold and jade ring, which I also left for you."
Chu Li could understand when she saw that former Prime Minister Li Yu'an had no intention of opening the door.
A prime minister who was deposed by the previous emperor, and half of the officials in the court were his disciples.
And those officials are now in high positions, for example, Prime Minister Jiang is his disciple.
Chu Li could understand that he was hurt by the injustice of the late emperor towards him.
She put the gifts and the ring she brought at the door and prepared to leave.
