A few words will make you dizzy.

It can't achieve the purpose of this trip at all, and you can't use strong means to arrest him. After all, he is only a suspect, not a prisoner.

Chang Biao was in trouble. The situation was urgent at that time, just to catch them off guard, so he could only go to the front door.

The main thing is that everyone unanimously suspects that Cui Jin must be in the Cui Mansion.

Quick action can kill a blow.

Who would have thought there was a back door.

At this time, Cui's residence was almost searched, but no one was found.

"Could it be that people have already left through the back door?"

Chang Biao glanced at the adjutant beside him, and the latter retreated quietly.

The tacit understanding between the two only needs a look.

If Cui Jin also slipped out of the back door, he must still be on the street now, this news is very important, strengthen the patrol on the street!
This action was clearly seen in the eyes of Cui's old foxes.

"Chief Chang, am I okay?"

Seeing that Changbiao was silent, Cui Xianjie asked tentatively.

Just as he was about to reply, the guard sent to Baoqingfang came back, bowed and clasped his fists, walked up to Changbiao's ear and whispered:

"Commander, Miss Aqing did accept Master Cui's guest."

"However, the two of them didn't talk for long, Miss Ah Qing fell asleep at some point, and we didn't wake her up until after we left."

Chang Biao glanced at the smiling Cui Xianjie, and said in a deep voice:

"It's okay, sorry for bothering you."

After clasping fists, he turned around and left without stopping.

Another adjutant on the side whispered:
"Commander, he is obviously wrong, so he left like this?"

Chang Biao sighed: "Then what can we do? What does this mean? With these old foxes around, we can't deal with eloquence."

After that, he sneered again:
"Grand Xu asked me to wait until Maoshi to gather, and this group of gentry is just stubbornly resisting."

The adjutant nodded, suddenly calm, yes, after today, everything is over.

No matter it is the Cui family or what family, they will all disappear.

……

After the Imperial Forest Army left, Cui Rende put away his smiling face and walked into the mansion with a calm expression.

Cui Xianjie followed closely behind.

When everyone came to Zhongtang again, Cui Xianjie seemed a little embarrassed.

Cui Rende sat on the teacher's chair, heheed, and asked calmly:
"You did it?"

Everyone looked over, they couldn't hear the tone of the patriarch, and they couldn't figure it out for a while.

"Yes."

Cui Xianjie did not deny it, and his attitude was very sincere.

"Follow me to the study."

The patriarchs of the other branches wanted to follow along, but the patriarch didn't think so.

It's a pity that the most exciting scene can't be seen.

The two came to the study one after the other, Cui Rende was expressionless, and asked with some doubts:
"Hmph, your hostility towards Cui Jin is second only to Cui Rong. Don't you take advantage of such a rare opportunity?"

Cui Xianjie seemed to be a different person, he no longer flinched in front of Cui Rende, but smiled calmly.

"Father, I know you look down on me, but you also underestimate me."

Cui Rende was a little surprised by Cui Xianjie's attitude, stroked the beard under his chin, and remained silent for a moment.

"I underestimated you."

He seemed to understand something, and when he looked at Cui Xianjie again, there was anger in his eyes.

"Do you know, you almost ruined the plan!"

Cui Rende almost growled, he didn't care about Cui Xianjie's purpose, all he wanted was the result.

"I have a sense of proportion, isn't this the plan as usual."

"Do you have a sense of proportion? Now the city is full of forbidden soldiers! The prison is already in chaos, tell me, how do you still act at Maoshi?"

"Like I said, you underestimated me. When Yinshi arrives, you will see the outcome."

"The plan is ruined, and the end is not something we can afford. That emperor is not a vegetarian either."

"Yeah, otherwise how can we catch the second brother?"

"At times like this, you still want to fight for the position of the patriarch. You act without considering the consequences, and you still want to lead the clan. You are simply wishful thinking!"

Cui Xian was silent, not talking, his father had always looked down on him, and he knew in his heart that as long as there is prejudice in the human heart, no matter what you do or do, it is wrong.

"Hmph! You've settled this matter for me. If something goes wrong, let alone the patriarch, you don't even want to enter the door of the Cui family!"

Cui Rende was furious, slammed the door and left.

Looking at the back of his father leaving, Cui Xianjie's eyes flashed with murderous intent.

……

Imperial city, watchtower.

This is where Xu Maoping used to watch the stars. Here, he can also see the whole Chang'an city.

Arguably the tallest building.

Yang Zhao stood with his hands behind his back, standing on the edge, overlooking the entire Chang'an City.

Xu Maogong and Wei Zheng followed behind.

"Your Majesty, what are you looking at?"

Xu Maogong spends most of his time stargazing and rarely looks at Chang'an.

The distance is too far, some places can't be seen clearly, it's not as clear as the galaxy in the sky.

"Look, that is the Cui Mansion. If you look carefully, it is actually the most prosperous area in Neicheng."

The two looked in the direction of Yang Zhao's finger, blushing.

After all, Cui Rong was only a third-rank, or a subordinate third-rank, but he lived in a better location than Xu Maogong's.

In the inner city, it is not possible to get a good location for an official's residence with money.

For example, Xu Maogong's official position, Zuo Pushe, said that he wanted Cui Rong's position, and most officials dared not snatch it.

Coupled with the greatness of the emperor's grace, Xu Maogong wanted to choose where to choose.

To their embarrassment, neither of them ever discovered this.

"There's news."

Just when the two were embarrassed, a letter flew over and landed in Yang Zhao's hand.

After a quick glance, Yang Zhao showed an intriguing expression.

Xu Maogong and Wei Zheng didn't dare to speak, they just waited for Yang Zhao to speak.

At this time, a gust of wind happened to pass by, and the two of them couldn't see Yang Zhao's face clearly, but they could indeed feel an undercurrent of horrifying aura.

"Man, run away."

After a while, three fluttering words came from Yang Zhao's mouth.

The two were dumbfounded and looked at each other with horror.

"Why... why?"

Xu Maogong only felt that his tongue was dry, and the two words were like a thousand pieces of gold.

The paper was thrown away by Yang Zhao, and it happened to fall in front of Xu Maogong, so he picked it up and took a look.

"There is no one guarding the west city gate, and there will be nothing unusual when people arrive."

Wei Zheng was skeptical, how could the city gate be unguarded, Xu Maogong has always been strict in his work, and the imperial guards are all cronies, so there is no possibility of betrayal.

Under the guard of elite soldiers, there is even less possibility of dereliction of duty.

Maybe it was a shift change, but it just happened not to be the right time, Wei Zheng comforted himself.

Looking down, the two were shocked.

It reads:

"Three miles to the left of the city gate, there is a tunnel that can pass through people. Outside the city gate, Cui Jin and his party fled eastward and chased them."
