On rainy nights, lightning occasionally slashed through the night sky, and the cat "meow" fur escaped under the eaves with a thunderclap.

In the dim lantern light on the street, figures spread towards Chunming Gate in the rain, and the people who were walking in the middle of the night did not dare to hit the city gate. It was still possible to monitor it from afar.

The man was arrested in the East City. If he left the city, the fastest place would be here. Of course, Dou Wei led another group of people to Mingdemen to the south, and also paid attention to the carriages parked along the way. He knew Bai Yunxiang's carriage. Although it was inconspicuous, there were always one or two places, such as Geng Nian, who made a sign behind the carriage and carved with twisted handwriting with a knife.

Just be careful that you should be able to see it.

However, along the way, there were no traces of carriages on the street. Because of the heavy rain, even the marks of a wheel on the street were washed away.

"Hope is still in the city..."

In the darkness, in the direction of his horse running wildly, an inconspicuous carriage slowly arrived at Qixia Gate on the right side of the south gate. The guard saw the coming vehicles from afar, as if he knew that the other party was going to leave the city. He looked at more than a dozen colleagues and passed silently to slowly open the city gate, leaving enough gaps for a carriage to pass.

After a moment, the city gate was closed again.

On a rainy night, the sound of horse hooves galloped over. The guards under the city gate stepped forward, lined up in a row, and pointed their spears downward and pointed at them. The team led was pressing the hilt of the knife into the rain curtain.

"People who come dismount and are not allowed to enter and exit the city gate late at night. Turn back immediately!"

Dou Weiler stopped the horse, looked around and saw that the people did not fight with officials. He understood, turned over and got off the horse and clasped his fists at the other party.

"Dou Wei from Yashang City, I don't know how to see a carriage passing by."

"It turns out it's Boss Dou, but I haven't seen any carriage. You should go back quickly. If the people from Jingzhaoyi see the curfew and are still wandering around outside, they will have to stay in prison for a few days."

"Thank you."

Dou Wei gritted his teeth and clasped his fists to return the salute. He could not tell whether Bai Yunxiang's carriage had passed by. If the other party was unwilling to say it, there was no way. He could only wait until the city gate was opened before going out. However, by that time, the vehicle had no idea how far it had run and where it had gone.

He looked at the sky, and the sky to the east gradually turned white, so he had to ride a horse back. After that, everyone in the Yashang returned did not find any news.

When they returned to Dongshi, they met Qin Huaimian and Jiuyu who had returned from the city gate, and there were a few blue faces beside them. After politely speaking, the three of them discussed for a while, but there was no way out for the time being.

When the sky was getting darker and the Chunming Gate opened, Dou Wei brought his men out of the city to search. Jiuyu borrowed a fast horse and rushed back to Huazhou. As for the young and strong people in Gengjia Village, they rode slowly behind by carriage.

Qin Huaimian sent them out of the city gate and stood up for a while. He originally planned to go into the palace to inform the emperor about the matter, but there was no evidence to prove the kidnapping carried out by Cui Yin.

Soon, he returned to the city and walked into the Zhang Mansion.

...........

The sun gradually rose to the clouds, and the bright sky shone on the official road of a fast horse. The sun slowly tilted and fell. In the darkness, there was still the outline of the fast horse's journey.

By the next morning, the horse fell to the ground and died. Jiuyu had already carried out his light work and ran wildly on the road, in the mountains, and in the fields.

Huazhou, Yunlailou.

Above the noisy and noisy hall, Geng Qing was writing at a desk in a guest room, reciting a plan to return to the court. Outside the door was Dachun and three gang members drinking and punching. Suddenly, he heard footsteps coming. The four of them raised their faces, and a cold wind blew over, and the door behind them creaked open.

Geng Qing looked up, Jiuyu took out a few letters and patted them on the table, picked up the kettle and poured a cup of clean water.

Gu~

Gu~huhu...

The clear water flowed into the stomach and intestines and the eunuch exhaled, then he looked at Geng Qing who was sitting here.

"Huh... your sister-in-law and your son were kidnapped... It seems that he was instructed by a man named Cui Yin. Qin Huaimian said that he was still the prime minister."

After a while, Geng Qing, who was sitting opposite, clenched his fists and pressed his knees with his hands. There was no reaction on his face, and his half-drooped eyelids seemed to have not heard it. He had never felt any emotion.

After a while, his letters passing by the table were slowly and neatly coded in his hand, and his voice was not undulating, calling out the three gang members outside in without any fluctuations.

"Bring things with you, let's go."

The three of them followed for many years, different from other gangs. They had experienced Li Cunxiao's camp, had seen big scenes, and had some understanding of Geng Qing's expression. When they heard this, they did not make any statement. They returned to their respective rooms silently, changed into cloud-patterned robes, and each had a wooden box on their backs, which looked heavy.

He followed Geng Qing out of the restaurant and out of Huazhou. When he drove along the official road, Geng Qing looked through the letters in the car. At any time, information was the most important.

"Qinghe Cui family... from Hebei, no wonder it has a northern accent."

The letters in his hand include Zhang Huaiyi, Wang Feiying and others. At present, he is reading the news written by Qin Huaimian about the court, especially the Prime Minister Cui Yin.

'The Cui Yan, who was killed by me, seemed to be from Cui's Qinghe family... It made sense to kidnap Bai Yunxiang and his son.'

The letter said that Cui Yin had the help of Cui's clan in Qinghe and had such strength in the past three years, so it would be simple for the other party to find out Cui Yu's death in the past three years.

‘The kidnapping of Bai Yunxiang and his son should not be because they had thought they were attracted to me, but because they wanted to take revenge on me... or force me out?’

Geng Qing looked through the letter in his hand several times, but after he had no valuable information, he kneaded it into a ball and threw it outside.

‘He could see that the emperor in the palace should have noticed what I did back then.. This Cui Xiang had such decisive means and was not a fool. If he did such a thing, he would definitely squeeze out the value inside...'

In the carriage, everyone did not disturb him, but just sat cross-legged. Geng Qing, who was in thought, suddenly opened his eyes and stopped by knocking fingertips.

In addition, the emperor wanted to conquer Shu, and Li Keyong in the north was restrained again. So did the emperor in the palace just let the opportunity to eradicate the eunuchs?

It is not difficult to see that Cui Xiang not only wanted to hurt Geng Qing to take revenge, but should also use external forces to eliminate the mixed eunuchs in the palace.

Which way will it be?

As long as you distinguish it, you can know the direction of Bai Yunxiang and her son. After staying in Chang'an for many years, Geng Qing more or less knew the potential strength of these eunuchs.

Li Maozhen, the western front? He has something to do with the eunuchs in the palace. Yang Shouzhen, the governor of Longjian in the south of Chang'an, Yang Shouliang, the governor of Xingyuan in the past three years, and Wang Chongrong in the north in the river was old and had no interest at all. In addition, it was possible to reinforce Li Keyong at any time, so he would not get involved in this matter at all.

As for Shu, there is a war there...only to the east...there are only Zhu Wen and Zhu Quanzhong nearest!

And have this ability.

Geng Qing thought of this and squinted his eyes, "Not only do you kill two birds with one stone, Cui Yin should know Zhu Wen's preferences, and it also has something to do with me back then. If the other party took Bai Yunxiang into the room, he would completely turn against me... and could only stand next to Cui Yin."

It’s so scheming to kill three birds with one stone.

Knowing the other party's intention, Geng Qing felt a little relieved and knocked on the carriage, "Dachun, change the route to Tongguan." As he said that, he looked at Jiuyu, "Go back to Chang'an and tell Qin Huaimian, Dou Wei and others that the other party might have gone to Tongguan."

The carriage turned around, and the eunuch rushed out of the curtain and jumped outside and walked towards Chang'an.

In the car, Geng Qing leaned against the window frame and looked at a river crossing in front of him, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
