Cui Xiao couldn't wait for Cui Hui to come over.

At midnight, he received news from someone sent by Cui Long.

Cui Xiao hurriedly put on his clothes and got up. He didn't have time to comb it. He arranged it as he walked. The blind man could also see that he valued the female monarch.

"What happened?"

The steward of Cui Long's house was panting all the way, and his legs were flailing and smoking before he could barely catch up with Cui Xiao, who walked leisurely but extremely fast. He secretly complained in his heart that these scribes had two legs for the same virtue.

After walking two steps, he could catch up with ordinary people running all the way. He wiped his sweat and said: "My house was assassinated."

"Assassination? Was your daughter-in-law frightened? Are there any casualties in the house? Who did it? Was it the rebels lurking in the city?"

Cui Xiao expected that these days would not be peaceful.

Regardless of Cui Long’s reasons, it is an indisputable fact that she colluded with the Eternal Life Cult to open the city, and it is also a definite fact that the wealthy households in the city were raided and harassed. Whoever suffered heavy losses will hate Cui Long. Ambushes and assassinations are bound to happen, Cui Xiao also

Someone had already been ordered to set up defenses near Cui Long's residence to protect her from the crisis.

"Only two were caught alive, the others committed suicide."

The clothes of these people were covered up so that they could not see their way out.

Cui Long was worried that the two survivors would find an opportunity to commit suicide and did not dare to deal with it without authorization. He hoped to borrow someone from Cui Xiao to avoid future troubles and rest easy. Cui Xiao heard that Cui Long was just frightened and felt reassured. He galloped all the way to get there.

The other courtyard where Cui Long lives.

The third courtyard is brightly lit.

From time to time, you can see several teams of servants patrolling.

When Cui Xiao arrived, the atmosphere in the hall was a little subtle.

Cui Long was wearing a plain white dress and a moon-shaded gauze blouse. Her black silk stockings were not tied up, and she was lost in thought. When the assassination happened, she must have been preparing to go to bed. There was a young man sitting on the left and right, one of whom was older.

, one person is slightly younger, with some similarities between the eyebrows and eyes, but they have two different charms. There is also a man wearing military armor standing in the hall, with a murderous aura all over his body.

There are three men, and Cui Xiao knows two of them.

The younger one, and that military commander.

As for the killer lying on the ground, tied up with five flowers and imprisoned with a spirit of words, no one cared. Cui Xiao didn't even look at it, and stepped on the back of one of them. The one who was stepped on screamed in pain but could not make any sound.

It must have been muted.

The arrival of Cui Xiao broke the almost solid atmosphere.

The three men exchanged glances with subtle expressions.

They didn't expect that the person who came was Cui Xiao, a very important figure within the Yongsheng Cult rebels! As soon as the news of the assassination was handed over, they went there personally. This doesn't mean taking it seriously. What does it mean to take it seriously? However, it was too much.

Pay some attention to it.

The older young man cast his peripheral vision at Lord Cui who was sitting at the top, secretly hating her for being so romantic, but there was nothing he could do about it.

The other two have dealt with Cui Xiao and have a stable mentality.

The general cupped his hands and said, "Excuse me, Cui Lang."

"With a little effort, the lady will be safe and sound."

Cui Xiao nodded slightly and guessed several relationships present at a glance. His mood was so complicated that he didn't know where to start - Cui Zhi, is this how he raised his daughter? But thinking of the private chaos in the aristocratic family circle, Cui Long felt that

It’s considered restrained.

However, you still have to pay attention to safety.

When men become jealous, they use more tricks than women.

Under the influence of Cui Xiaoyan, the two killers obediently told the truth and made everything clear. As expected, they were dead men raised by high-ranking officials in the city. Cui Long took advantage of the opportunity of the Eternal Life Cult rebels to enter the city and killed them.

, the people who escaped took revenge on her.

They acted hastily and were not fully prepared, and Cui Long was protected by his side. Before the blood revenge was avenged, he was exposed first.

Cui Long didn't even move his eyelids.

"It's just tit for tat."

"Witch, you fart!"

The dead man was so disheartened that he confided his secret, and there was no point in committing suicide. When he was completely dejected, he heard Cui Long say this, and he couldn't help crying and accusing Cui Long of his evil deeds. What's the matter of collaborating with foreign enemies, troubling people's lives, and seeking wealth.

Killing someone... In short, she will definitely have retribution and will not end well. The Cui family will end without a successor. Cui Xiao kept frowning after hearing this.

He said to the general: "Did you die?"

The general's angry reading was interrupted: "Huh?"

Cui Xiao said quietly: "Either cut his tongue or cut his neck. How can you humiliate your master and still stand aside and listen?"

He gave orders too naturally, but he couldn't get the others, including Cui Long. One of the two killers was killed, and the other was dragged down for custody. Use this person as bait to lure out other fish that slipped through the net, and finally come back.

Catch them all in one go.

Cui Xiao walked around the blood spatter on the ground and took a few steps forward to close the distance with Cui Long. Before he could speak, the other three people present looked at each other, wondering if they should be more sensible and make room.

When it comes to spiritual cultivation, Cui Xiao's hand just now impressed the three of them.

Having talent and strength is better than that slave who has a face, can see things through, and can only speak glibly.

but--

Cui Xiao's magnanimity is unparalleled in the pool. If the master has a relationship with him, it will not end well if anything happens in the future.

Cui Long was also guessing what Cui Xiao wanted to say.

"...The female monarch comes from a high family, and what she has seen and heard is broader than ordinary people, and she also has an understanding of the current situation, otherwise you would not have helped Cui open the city gate. Times have changed, and the rules of Qi State have been put aside.

In other countries, it may not be possible to get everything through..."

Cui Xiao's words were not only devoid of warmth and comfort, they were more like giving advice, without emotion, and were all a confrontation of interests.

Cui Long said: "Sir, you can speak frankly."

Cui Xiao tapped the blood stain on the ground with the knife fan in his hand.

"Cui doesn't know why the queen has enmity, and he can guess a thing or two about the inside story. The means of fighting for power and profit are also divided into overt and covert. Some can be tolerated by the superiors, and some cannot see the light of day. It is best for the queen to take stock of herself these days.

Fan, when it is broken, it is broken."

He doesn't understand.

Did Ms. Cui deprive her of her treatment?

Cui Long's face turned cold.

Cui Xiao could see that she was not happy, but she had said everything, so he simply said it all in one sentence: "It is chaos to talk about superficial things and to talk about deep things. Cui also understands this truth, but I hope that the lady will believe it. Cui

I have no ill intentions towards you, I only wish you well."

His response was too blunt.

Cui Long was not only unmoved, but also suspicious.

She asked: "Are you my father's guest?"

The same surname is Cui, and he helps himself everywhere...

Cui Long could only think that Cui Xiao was her father's man.

Cui Xiao smiled and said: "Cui dared to admit it, and your father didn't dare to accept it, so he might have shortened his life! However, we do have some friendship with him. Now Cui has only one way to go, to completely defect to Kangguo. Don't hide it from your daughter.

Sir, Cui came from the northwest. This Yongsheng Cult army is just a cover-up. The southwest allied forces are not strong enough, and the victory or defeat can be decided in half a year at most. Based on Cui’s experience of serving as an official for several years, the female monarch will not

Stop, I'm afraid it will harm Cui in the future."

Cui Long and others: "..."

They didn't know the relationship between Cui Xiao and Kang Guo.

Unexpectedly, Kang Guo dared to expose his identity in public.

No, can they still walk out of this door alive?

"You said this, nothing happened?"

"What can happen? The soldiers and horses in the city are all Cui's people. Those around the queen... shouldn't be able to overturn the situation." Cui Xiao glanced at the three people who were suspected of being the grandson's son-in-law, and tried hard to suppress it.

Weird. He was a little curious about how other people felt about the younger concubines in their families. Would they be as awkward as him?

Ask Cui Zhi later.

Cui Long: "..."

She didn't agree to Cui Xiao immediately, she just said she would think about it again.

It's not that Cui Long doesn't know what's good and bad, but the more she operates secretly, the more people are involved in each link, and many people rely on these businesses to make a living. She gives orders at will, which affects dozens or hundreds of households.

livelihood...not to mention those partners who have direct interests involved.

Cui Xiao also knew not to be impatient.

After dealing with the assassination incident and sending extra people to strengthen patrols nearby, Cui Xiao got up and left with peace of mind. Cui Long got up and wanted to see him off. After learning about the relationship between Cui Xiao and his father, Cui Long thought of changing his name. Personal
