When Ang Lee heard this, he suddenly had a strong premonition, a very warm premonition. He indeed did not have a thirteen or fourteen year old younger brother, but wasn't Little Ya 'er around this age? Could it be that there was news about Little Ya' er?
"Ruyu, I only have a thirteen or fourteen year old younger sister. She's called Little Ya 'er. She's white and chubby, and her eyes are very big. Have you seen her before?"
Ang Lee asked anxiously.
Yan Ruyu looked at Ang Lee with an enlightened expression. "No wonder she's so handsome. She's actually Little Ya 'er. She was wearing men's clothes and carrying a sword on her back. She said you were her Big Brother, so I treated her as your younger brother."
Ang Lee was even more surprised. He hurriedly held Yan Ruyu's arms. "Ruyu, Little Ya 'er really came. Where is she?"
"She's fine. She …"
Yan Ruyu's expression was slightly pained.
Ang Lee hurriedly released his hands. "I'm sorry, Ruyu. I hurt you."
Yan Ruyu gently stroked Ang Lee's arms that were hurting. She raised her head and looked at Ang Lee. "Is this younger sister very important to you? Why are you so anxious?"
Ang Lee did not hide anything. He told her about the murder in White Wolf Village, the process of Little Ya 'er being taken away, and his determination to try his best to find Little Ya' er.
When Yan Ruyu heard this, she immediately understood why Ang Lee was so agitated when he heard the news of his younger sister's appearance.
"She's fine. Little Ya 'er has already left the capital."
Yan Ruyu softly informed. She knew that Ang Lee would be very disappointed when he heard this, but she still had to say it.
When Ang Lee heard this, he was suddenly disappointed for a moment. He paused and asked, "When did she leave? Where did she go?"
Yan Ruyu pursed her lips. "Before she left, she came over to say goodbye to me. She said that she would immediately return to the grassland. It's been about a month."
"What? Little Ya 'er has already left for a month. Did she leave any messages or letters?"
Yan Ruyu slapped her head. "She left behind a letter, saying that she was waiting for you to come back. She wanted me to hand it to you personally. It's in the study room. Come with me!"
Ang Lee followed Yan Ruyu into her study.
"I'm fine. It's this letter."
Li An took the letter and quickly opened it to read it.
It turned out that the sprout still refused to believe that Ang Lee would abandon her. She didn't believe Li Hanlu's speculation and proposed to Li Hanlu that she wanted to find her Big Brother.
Li Hanlu didn't object, but she made a request. She wanted the sprout to practice martial arts with her for half a year, and she could leave after half a year. In fact, she wanted to use time to wear down the sprout's persistence.
The sprout listened to Li Hanlu's words and practiced hard for half a year, but her determination didn't change. After half a year, she resolutely bid farewell to Li Hanlu and went straight to the capital, Chang 'an.
In order to avoid inconveniences on the way, the sprout dressed up as a man and carried a short sword for self-defense. In addition, Li Hanlu also sent two trusted subordinates to follow her to prevent any accidents on the way.
After going through untold hardships to reach Chang 'an City, the sprout asked around for news about Ang Lee. Soon, she learned that Ang Lee had already escorted King Guichang to Dongnu Province.
The sprout was very disappointed when she didn't see Ang Lee. However, she still asked around for news about Ang Lee. Finally, she learned that Ang Lee was imprisoned because he violated military discipline and couldn't pick her up in time. He didn't abandon her on purpose. This made her feel very satisfied and gratified.
After continuing to ask around, the sprout found out that Ang Lee often went in and out of Yan Zhenqing's mansion. The sprout had seen Yan Zhenqing in White Wolf Village, so she personally paid a visit. She wanted to know more about her Big Brother from Yan Zhenqing.
Unfortunately, the sprout visited several times, but Yan Zhenqing wasn't in the mansion. However, the young and beautiful Yan Ruyu saw that she was young and claimed that Ang Lee was her Big Brother, so she came out to receive her warmly.
In the letter that the sprout wrote to Ang Lee, she praised Yan Ruyu's virtue and beauty. She also hinted that Ang Lee and Yan Ruyu were a good match. This surprised Ang Lee. After all, the sprout knew that she would marry Ang Lee when she grew up. How could she push Ang Lee to someone else?
After staying in Chang 'an City for nearly a month, seeing that Ang Lee's return was still far away, the sprout chose to leave. Before she left, she gave the letter to Yan Ruyu and instructed Yan Ruyu to personally hand it to Ang Lee.
As for why the sprout was in a hurry to return to the grassland, the letter clearly stated that it was all because of Ang Lee.
Half a year ago, Ang Lee defeated the Xi Tribe's Nu Jie Tribe in Yuzhou and personally killed the general of the Nu Jie Tribe, Li Tianlong. This made the children of the Nu Jie Tribe cry at night when they heard about the Hengye Army.
In this battle, Ang Lee made a great contribution to the Tang dynasty. However, at the same time, he also caused the Nu Jie Tribe to suffer heavy losses. After fleeing back to the grassland, the Nu Jie Tribe was often bullied by other tribes because of the sharp decline in their strength. They even had to migrate many times to avoid their powerful neighbors.
As the daughter of Li Tagu, the leader of the Nu Jie Tribe, Li Hanlu naturally felt this pressure. She had been working hard to help her father share the pressure in all aspects. Her life was extremely difficult, but even so, she still took good care of the sprout and always gave the best to her.
The sprout was a person who knew how to repay kindness. Li Hanlu was so good to her, so how could she choose to leave when the Nu Jie Tribe was facing a serious crisis? The purpose of her trip to Chang 'an this time was to see Ang Lee and clarify the doubts in her heart. Whether she could see Ang Lee or not, she must return to the grassland and do her best to share the pressure for Li Hanlu.
After reading the letter, Ang Lee finally understood why the sprout pushed him to Yan Ruyu. It turned out that she wanted to repay the kindness and stay in the grassland to help Li Hanlu.
"She is kind-hearted and knows how to repay kindness. The sprout hasn't changed at all. However, she came all the way to the capital city and didn't see me. She is a little disappointed."
Ang Lee folded the letter and sighed from the bottom of his heart.
"You two have such a good relationship. It's really enviable."
Ang Lee sighed and smiled faintly. "If it weren't for the murder in the White Wolf Village, the sprout would have married me in a few years."
Yan Ruyu curled the corner of her mouth. "Why? You two got engaged a long time ago."
"We didn't get engaged. My father had this plan and told many people in the village about it. The sprout and I more or less knew about it and didn't object."
"Oh, I see. Since she came to the capital city, why did she leave?"
Yan Ruyu was quite confused.
Ang Lee smiled faintly. "Because she saw how handsome you are, so she left."
Yan Ruyu slightly rolled her eyes at Ang Lee.
Ang Lee stuffed the letter into Yan Ruyu's hand and smiled faintly. "There are no secrets in the letter. Ruyu, you can read it."
"This …"
"It's okay. By the way, I just returned to the capital city and have to report to His Majesty. This time, I came here secretly. I can't stay here for too long. Goodbye."
Ang Lee turned and left.
"Don't worry. I'll see you off."
"Okay."

After the welcoming ceremony, Li Linfu personally took Yu Chengjie to the Honglu Guild. The officials of the guild had already arranged the best room for Yu Chengjie to stay.
"Along the way, the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty surprised Xiao Wang. Especially the magnificence of Chang 'an, Xiao Wang was even more amazed. The Honglu Guild in front of me is even more magnificent than the palace of Nanzhao. This trip really opened my eyes."
As soon as Yu Chengjie entered the Honglu Guild, he was amazed by the beautiful environment and high-end facilities here. Then he publicly sighed.
When Li Linfu and the other officials of the Tang Dynasty heard this, they all looked proud. The wealth and prosperity of the Tang Dynasty was recognized by the world. As officials of the Tang Dynasty, they naturally felt a sense of pride.
"Haha, as long as the Second Prince is comfortable here, it's fine. If you like it here, you can stay for a few more days. The Tang Dynasty is rich in resources. You can stay for as long as you want."
A high-ranking official of the Tang Dynasty said politely.
Yu Chengjie nodded and smiled slightly. "The Tang Dynasty is prosperous and prosperous. Xiao Wang really wants to live here for the rest of his life and never leave."
As the Second Prince of Nanzhao, Yu Chengjie certainly couldn't stay in Chang 'an forever. Moreover, he planned to inherit Piloge's title of King of Yunnan. The reason why he said this was firstly to make the officials of the Tang Dynasty feel comfortable. Secondly, he really envied the wealth of the Tang Dynasty and had a slight impulse to stay in Chang' an.
"If the Second Prince wants to stay in Chang 'an forever, it's fine as long as the King of Yunnan agrees. This way, please."
Li Linfu smiled gently and led Yu Chengjie into the best room in the Honglu Guild.
Yu Chengjie and Li Linfu walked side by side into the spacious and bright room, while the others stayed outside.
"Second Prince, this is the best room in the entire Honglu Guild. You can stay here without worry. If you need anything, just tell the officials here. They will definitely listen to your orders."
"Thank you, Right Prime Minister. It's really good here."
Yu Chengjie walked back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back.
Li Linfu smiled gently. "Second Prince, you must be tired from the journey. Have a good rest first. I'll come back in the evening."
"Wait a minute. Xiao Wang is not tired. Let's talk now. Right Prime Minister, please sit down."
"Second Prince, please."
Li Linfu and Yu Chengjie sat down at the same time and looked at each other.
Yu Chengjie pursed his lips and thought for a moment. Then he said, "Do you know the purpose of Xiao Wang's visit this time?"
Li Linfu pretended not to know and shook his head. "Second Prince, please tell me."
Yu Chengjie said straightforwardly, "Right Prime Minister, you should know that recently, the tribes in Cuandi have rebelled against the Tang Dynasty and caused chaos everywhere. Even the innocent people of Nanzhao have been implicated. Dozens of people who went to Cuandi to make a living were killed. The casualties of the Tang Dynasty are even more. When my father learned about this, he was really anxious. However, my father was not sad about the deaths of dozens of people in Nanzhao, but he was worried about the Tang Dynasty. These Cuandi tyrants were deeply indebted to the Tang Dynasty, but they betrayed the Tang Dynasty. They are all traitors, traitors."
After that, he frowned and looked worried about the Tang Dynasty.
Hearing this, Li Linfu laughed in his heart, but on the surface, he nodded and said with a deep expression, "I didn't expect that the King of Yunnan would be so worried about the country. He is really a loyal minister of the Tang Dynasty. As the saying goes, the wind knows the strength of the country. Only when the Cuandi rebellion happens will the loyalty of the King of Yunnan be shown."
Yu Chengjie looked sad and frowned deeply. "My father often told me that Nanzhao can be what it is today all because of the Tang Dynasty. Without the full support of the Tang Dynasty, Nanzhao would not be what it is today. In the future, no matter what, I must not betray the Tang Dynasty. I must be a loyal minister of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to repay the kindness of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to Nanzhao."
Obviously, these words were all made up by Yu Chengjie. Pi Luoge had never said these words, and it was impossible for him to say these obviously hypocritical words. The reason why Yu Chengjie said this was to please the Tang Dynasty and show his determination to be loyal to the Tang Dynasty forever. In this way, he could gain the favor of the officials of the Tang Dynasty and increase the probability of him getting the support of the imperial court of the Tang Dynasty.
Although Yu Chengjie lived in Nanzhao, he was also very clear that in the Tang Empire, Li Linfu's influence was very extensive and could even control the entire imperial court. As long as he got Li Linfu's support, many things would become very smooth.
Now that Li Linfu was by his side, how could he not try his best to please him? He said what Li Linfu liked to hear and catered to his interests.
Li Linfu also frowned and was worried. He praised Yu Chengjie and said, "The King of Yunnan is loyal to the Tang Dynasty, and the Second Prince is also loyal to the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty is really lucky to have such loyal officials like you and your father. The Tang Dynasty is really lucky to have such loyal officials like you and your father."
"Right Prime Minister, you flatter me. Xiao Wang is often distressed because he can't share the burden of the Tang Dynasty. This time, when the Cuandi clan rebelled, Xiao Wang tried his best to persuade my father to share the burden of the Tang Dynasty. My father also had the same idea. He also sent me to Chang 'an City to ask the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, hoping that I can do something for the Tang Dynasty."
Yu Chengjie's face was serious, as if he was really a loyal official.
Li Linfu touched his chin and smiled gently. "The Second Prince means that Nanzhao wants to do something to pacify the Cuandi, but I don't know how much effort he can do."
At this point, Yu Chengjie did not beat around the bush and said softly, "My father is willing to use all the troops of Nanzhao to pacify the Cuandi rebellion for the Tang Dynasty in return for the kindness of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty."
"What? The King of Yunnan is willing to use all the troops of Nanzhao to pacify the rebellion for the Tang Dynasty?"
Li Linfu did not expect this result at all. It was greatly beyond his expectations. He and Li Longji did not expect that Nanzhao would be willing to use all the forces of the country to pacify the Cuandi rebellion. It was really a desperate bet.
"Right Prime Minister, Nanzhao can be what it is today all thanks to the Tang Dynasty. Now that there is a rebellion in the Tang Dynasty, and the location of the rebellion is north of Nanzhao, how can Nanzhao not do its duty as a subject and share the burden of the Tang Dynasty?"
Yu Chengjie frowned slightly and put on a worried expression for the Tang Dynasty. This was completely different from his usual unrestrained self. Perhaps even he was a little surprised.
