Datang: My apprentice is Princess Changle

Chapter 362 The Secret Path
Chapter 362 Secret Road
Boling, Cui's family

The Patriarch of the Cui family waited directly in his own fortress this time.

Not in the city, but in the high fort outside the city.

Patriarch Cui has been walking back and forth in the hall, waiting for news.

As a result, when someone finally ran in, he was a little afraid to ask the result immediately.

"Patriarch! Something is wrong!" The man who ran in fell to his knees with a plop and shouted.

With this sound, Patriarch Cui took two steps back and sat down on the chair.

"Say! What happened? Didn't they capture the county?" Patriarch Cui asked directly.

Because he was anxious to get angry, his eyes were already bloodshot.

Now it is even more blood-red, with an extremely hideous expression.

The servant raised his head and only glanced at it, his heart skipped a beat, and he quickly lowered his head.

"Patriarch, they, they failed!"

"It failed, it failed, failed even if you didn't hold on for a day? How long has it been? Is it two hours? If it's less than two hours, will you fail?"

This is half a day's work, and it failed?

"Where are they? Let them go to the grassland! Leave the territory of Youzhou first! Come back later! When the Tubo army arrives, come back with the Tubo people!" Patriarch Cui immediately ordered.

This is also his last choice.

After all, under such circumstances, there is no way for others to let these people stay in Youzhou.

Even staying in the North is dangerous.

Anyway, the army of the Tubo people will come in the spring, and it is completely possible to come back with the Tubo people at that time.

At that time, Youzhou must have been in chaos.

If the Tubo people really can't disturb Youzhou, they will follow the Tubo people out of Tang Dynasty!
Patriarch Cui thought very well, but unfortunately, because of the musket's appearance, those who should have been able to escape were also captured.

The person who came to report the letter, listening to the Patriarch talking to himself, became more and more frightened.

But he had to answer, and the servant replied tremblingly: "My family, my master, they have all been captured, they have all been captured..."

"What? You said they were all captured? How is this possible? They are wearing the latest vine armor! Bows and arrows shot on the vine armor will not cause too much damage! Even if there is no way to capture the county city , They can’t escape if they escape? How can they be captured alive? They are cavalry!”

Yes, cavalry!

Even if you can't beat others, you have four legs, can't you run away?
Even if someone shoots them with a bow and arrow, but they are wearing rattan armor!Can't you escape?

Patriarch Cui was unwilling to believe that the group of soldiers under his command could even fail to escape!
Facing Patriarch Cui's questioning, the servant could only tremble.

He doesn't understand either!

Why is it that the Cui family is facing the king of Youzhou, as if everything is at a disadvantage!
Could it be that their Cui family is so unkind to God?
Is the king of Youzhou really so pleasing to God?
People at this time like to use celestial phenomena and all kinds of unexplainable things to frighten others and frighten themselves.

After hearing what happened outside the county town, the top management of the Cui family in Boling were all scared to death by their own family.It's okay for them, the children of old-fashioned families, to recite poems against each other, or point out the country.Really let them lead troops to fight, few can succeed!
Some children of aristocratic families don't even dare to ride horses, and are only willing to ride in bullock carts and horse-drawn carriages.

In this kind of atmosphere, the Cui family's children, who are not bad, are actually like that.

The side branch is to help transport things, help run the caravan, and can produce someone who can go into battle and kill the enemy.

On the Zhizhi side, there are really only people who can speak, but have no ability or courage to meet the enemy.

As soon as I heard that outside the fortress, the army has been surrounded.

Those large armies clamored that if they did not leave the fort and surrendered, they would explode the fort.

These people were all trembling with fright, their faces pale.

At the meeting on the first night of being trapped, dozens of people in charge in the fortress surrounded Patriarch Cui, waiting eagerly for Patriarch Cui to give a way so that they could go out.

Patriarch Cui himself was already battered, but in front of these people, he still had to hold on, acting as if he was fine.

He comforted these people and told them that he would go out in person tomorrow to discuss matters with the generals outside.

After bluffing these people, Patriarch Cui prepared to run away overnight.

This fort has been built for hundreds of years.

It has been renovated several generations ago.

This hundred-year-old fortress once provided great help to the Boling Cui family during the war.

Not only does the fortress look easy to defend and difficult to attack, but the dark part of the fortress also has secret passages that can lead directly several miles away.

Patriarch Cui, as the patriarch of the Boling Cui Clan, naturally knows this secret way.

He never told the other principals about this secret passage in the past, so the principals didn't know that there was such a "living way" in the fortress of the Bolingcui Clan!
"Master, slow down and be careful." Those who left with Patriarch Cui were all Patriarch Cui's true confidantes.

These people either have great martial arts skills, or have special skills in other fields.

Patriarch Cui is not stupid, since he wants to make a comeback after leaving Youzhou, he needs to bring these capable subordinates with him.

As for those people in charge who are like worms, in the past, they were very important to Patriarch Cui.

But at this moment, those people are nothing but farts!

Patriarch Cui knows that he doesn't want to bring one more person who is holding back!

He didn't even bring his son with him, anyway, he has other sons outside!

It's not just these few in Youzhou, even if all these sons are lost here, it's not a big deal to him.

Thinking of this, he slowly entered the tunnel with the support of his confidant.

Those who walked behind closed the secret passage again, and they walked quietly in this not very spacious secret passage.

It's tiring to walk a few miles.

Since Patriarch Cui became Patriarch, since when did he experience such hardship?
But this secret passage, because the place is narrow, allows at most two people to walk side by side, and the top is also very low, so it is impossible for someone to carry him on his back, because it will greatly reduce the speed!

And now, what they need most is time!

Once day breaks and people outside start to attack, how long can the strong fortress survive the bombardment of dynamite packs?persist in

It won't be long!
So they must leave here before dawn!

A few miles away, they still have a hidden stronghold, where not only horses, but also silver!
When the time comes, just leave along the path!

Or pretend to be an ordinary road merchant!
As long as they are fast enough, whether it is attacking or blocking, they will be left behind by them!

"There's a little light ahead! It's here! It should be here!"
