Ye Li was stunned when he heard this, and said, "Beat, Your Highness, do you mean someone wants to cause trouble for me?"
Li Rushan was silent for a moment and nodded, saying: "I think my elder brother will never be able to swallow the resentment of having his position as the leader of the Second Division of the Zhenzhong Army taken away by a hero. He will definitely find an opportunity for you to compete with his master who is in the God Phase period.
I haven't seen your strength either, but I feel you should be very strong. However, the master under him is said to have reached the middle stage of the Divine Phase, so the situation is very unfavorable for you.
Alas, if my eldest brother really wants to let his men fight you, then I will stop the fight even at the cost of my reputation.
After all, your advantage is not in the present, but in your young age. You are full of great potential and unlimited possibilities when you are young. "
Hearing Li Rushan's words, Ye Li showed a hint of gratitude, but he was not afraid of fighting.
This is not Ye Li's arrogance, but a manifestation of self-confidence. In a one-on-one situation of the same level, no matter what kind of enemy Li Ruhai sends, he will not feel afraid.
Following Li Rushan, Ye Li soon arrived at another area in the inner city, a place he had never been to before.
"Ye Li, you are now my retainer and have the right to enter and exit my residential area, but the area nearby is only open to the royal family and some special people. If it weren't for the dinner, you wouldn't be able to enter.
Look, the martial arts arena is in front of us. In addition to the arena, there is also a large square, so it can be used to hold a banquet."
Li Rushan pointed to a wall not far away and said to Ye Li.
Although Ye Li couldn't see the inside of the martial arts arena, judging from the size of the walls, there must be a very large space inside.
At this time, the outside of the martial arts arena was already full of guards, and many servants were coming and going at the door.
In addition, many guests have already arrived and are gathering in groups of three or five to greet each other and walk towards the martial arts arena.
From a distance, a fat man had already noticed Li Rushan's arrival, so he hurried over with a flattering smile on his face.
"Your Highness, you are here so early!"
After the fat man performed a very formal courtesy towards the second prince, he nodded and bowed while speaking with a smile on his face.
Li Rushan smiled and glanced at the other party, saying, "Jin San, you are here too. Jinbaohao's business is good recently, right?"
The fat man called Jin San nodded quickly and said, "Thanks to your help, Your Highness the Second Prince, our business has been very good recently.
You are now one of the owners of Jinbaohao. I will send you the bonus next month, which will definitely make you very satisfied."
Li Rushan smiled and nodded when he heard this.
He pulled Ye Li over and pointed at Jin San and said, "Ye Li, this is Jin Shanshan, the boss of Jinbaohao, one of the three largest chambers of commerce in Tangjing City. We all call him Jin San.
Jin San, this is my new follower, Ye Li."
Hearing Li Rushan's words, Jin Shanshan hurriedly clasped his fists towards Ye Li and said, "So it's Mr. Ye. I've heard of your name a long time ago. You are so young but have the strength of a divine phase. You are truly a genius."
After hearing the name Jin Shanshan, Ye Li looked at the man carefully and found that his clothes were all woven with gold threads and many parts were inlaid with sparkling jewels. He really lived up to his name, shining.
Since the other party greeted him so politely, he naturally hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted, "Mr. Jin San, thank you for the compliment."
Seeing that the other person was much older than him, Ye Li just called him Master Jin San. This made Jin Shanshan so happy that wrinkles instantly appeared on his chubby face.
"Oh my, I don't deserve the title of Master Jin San. Master Ye, just call me Jin San like His Highness."
Jin Shanshan said to Ye Li with a smile.
Li Rushan patted Ye Li on the shoulder and said, "Jin San is one of us. You don't have to be polite. Just call me Jin San."
Upon hearing this, Ye Li nodded quickly and said, "Yes, I understand."
After hearing Jin Shanshan's voice, many people looked over. Seeing that it was Li Rushan who arrived, they hurried over and saluted to greet Li Rushan.
Most of these people are not Li Rushan's men, and some are even the eldest prince Li Ruhai's men. However, out of courtesy, they must take the initiative to greet the prince when they see him.
While dealing with them, Li Rushan introduced these people to Ye Li. He explained each person's situation clearly, and even gave a detailed introduction to the people of the Big-Faced Prince.
Ye Li also greeted these people one by one, and then followed Li Rushan into the martial arts arena.
"Ye Li, you must recognize those people of the eldest prince just now, and be careful when you come into contact with them in the future.
They know you are mine, so it is inevitable that they will do something against you, so you have to be more careful."
Ye Li nodded when he heard this. One should not have the intention to harm others, but one must be on guard against others.
Although he had no grudges against these people, they were Li Ruhai's men after all, so it was normal for them to trip him up behind his back.
After following Li Rushan into the martial arts arena, a servant immediately came to lead the way.
Although they didn't know Ye Li, they all knew Li Rushan, so they immediately led Li Rushan to the seats on one side right in front of the arena.
At this time, the arena in front of the martial arts arena was filled with tables and chairs. Wine, fruits and some cold dishes were placed on the tables, and many guests had already taken their seats.
However, after seeing Li Rushan, these people hurriedly saluted Li Rushan in unison.
Li Rushan also smiled and waved to everyone, indicating that they should sit back down and not be polite.
The two of them quickly walked to the seats specially set up for them, but they were on the left side of the main seat. After all, they were princes, so it was only natural for them to sit next to the emperor's main seat.
Ye Li glanced at the position to the right of the main seat, thinking that was the seat of the eldest prince.
Li Rushan saw Ye Li's gaze and said, "That's where my elder brother is. He will appear there in a while."
After taking a look, Ye Li became curious and asked, "By the way, where is the third prince's seat?"
Li Rushan shook his head and said, "My third brother would never come to this kind of gathering, and I don't know where he is practicing now.
The emperor also gave him special privileges. As long as it wasn't an activity that all members of the royal family had to attend, he didn't have to participate, so he was relatively free."
Upon hearing this, Ye Li nodded to show that he understood.
