The sky was pitch black, there were no stars or moon, only sweltering heat, and flies and insects fluttering from time to time. The grasshopper played its own music in the grass, amusing itself. The trees danced to the sound of its music.

Qinghe Cui's family has fallen into a deep sleep, there are no lights, and there is no crowd, this family seems to be extremely silent during this time, and it is no longer as lively as before. Most of the guards in the family were sent out, leaving only the necessary guards. And all the important people in the family have returned, making plans one by one, this qiē is all given by that Chu Liuxiang and Li Kuan, these two guys, let this great family that has been inherited for nearly a thousand years lose face, so they hate it so much. One stole the family's inheritance and set it on fire, while the other beheaded important members of their family, making Cui's control of Yangzhou completely ruined.

The dull thunder rolled across the sky, and the dark night turned sultry, a sign that the summer night was about to rain. It was their duty for the tired grafts to knock on the poles and make their rounds around the courtyard. Everyone else is asleep, but they have to work. Knocking on the bang, he hissed and shouted: "The weather is dry, watch out for the candles!" "Spread far and wide in this night. But it does not wake up those who have long been asleep, and in such a night, the deepest darkness is the main theme of this land, the moment before dawn. It's just that at this time there are still people who haven't fallen asleep and are doing their own thing.

Outside the courtyard wall of Cui's mansion, a guy was dressed in sky blue clothes, which were very tight, revealing his ape-armed and bee-waisted figure. Dexterous like an ape, the courtyard wall more than a foot high in front of him was like a small fence in front of him. The light one just flipped over. He walked through the treetops, lurking in a patch of grass by the side of the road. Not far in front of him, a yawning groom slowly walked by.

"Whew......" adjusted his breathing. The man began his action again, and in the darkness only the lantern under the eaves in the distance shone faintly. But that didn't stop him, and with this faint light, he was able to see his surroundings clearly.

Although most of the people in Cui Mansion have already fallen asleep, there are still people who stay up late doing some shady things. During this time, the entire Datang was stirred up because of their movements. Because of the suspicions of the royal family. So during this period of time, there have been a lot more people watching in front of Cui's gate. There are not only eyeliners sent by the royal family, but also spies from other families. Don't think that the family is monolithic, in fact, if you really want to talk about the dirtiness between them, three days and three nights are not enough. Just because the royal family is strong. So these families temporarily made a grudge against each other. I joined together.

In a small room, most of the people in charge of the Cui clan are here, they are discussing a matter, and they can be called a big rebellion at first sight. In the past few days, except for the first time after finding the whereabouts of Li Kuan, the king of Chu, there has been no trace of their master and servant. This made Cui's feel incredible, these are three big living people. It's not a small animal, how could it just disappear without a trace. So they urged the dead in the family to intensify their search. Today happens to be the time when the dead soldiers of the Cui family come to report the results.

The Cui family is now the head of the Cui family in this base camp. Most of them are concentrated here, except for a few people. They are waiting for news, because there have been a lot of unknown people around the family recently, so many things are not very convenient, just like at this time, usually those dead people can go to the house to report the situation after dark, but now they have to wait until a moment before dawn, this time is the time when everyone is the most relaxed, those spies who are watching are almost unable to stay up, so that they can sneak in unknowingly.

But this also made these big people who had been pampered have to stay up late, and they were sitting in this small room at this time, looking at each other without saying a word. Only the oil lamp still made a slight crackling sound.

"Almost!" Cui Chang, the oldest Cui fellow, broke the silence first. The old man didn't feel inappropriate about the previous oppressive atmosphere, because if he couldn't bear even that little bit of repression, then what could he do. But now that the time was almost up, it was time to break the silence, so he spoke up. It should be a nightingale's cry from outside the hospital, which is the agreed signal.

"Yes, it's just that the head of the house hasn't come yet!" The fat old man of the Cui family looked around and said, Cui Jing didn't come, and the Cui family couldn't hold this conference.

"Don't wait for him, he won't be able to come tonight!" Cui Chang said that he knew what his son was going to do at this time, although this so-called meeting was very important now, but that matter could not be put down, plus this time it was just the news of the return of the dead man of the family, and it was the same for him to convey it. So the former patriarch of the Cui clan decided to start directly, without waiting for Cui Jing to come back.

"Come in!" Cui Chang's old voice came out of this room, and in the summer night, the hoarse voice with an indescribable faint majesty reached the ears of the dead people waiting outside.

The door of the room opened silently, and a man in a gray linen shirt flashed in. Then he walked straight to the center of the room, bowed to the spiritual seat enshrined in front of him, and then bowed to the surrounding area with his fists folded.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the little one has been ordered by our Grand Commander to report the situation! I hope you decide! The man was nearly eight feet tall, and there were many scars on the exposed skin on his body, which was his meritorious medal for the Cui family, so he just stood with his fists and greeted him around, which did not make these Cui family people feel sluggish. Because such a person is absolutely loyal to the Cui family, and the people who have meritorious service to the family have won their respect.

"How's that going to happen? Have you found any traces of that person? Cui Chang hurriedly asked.

"Old master, please forgive us for our incompetence, we haven't found Li Kuan's whereabouts yet, because His Royal Highness the King of Chu is really too slippery, only since he was ambushed by our brother once for the first time, it was like the world had evaporated, we searched for hundreds of miles in the place where he finally lost his trace, and still didn't find any trace of them. Moreover, he seemed to have guessed who we were, and the leader of the team that ambushed him at the time was wearing our family's waist badge. The man said with some shame, and at the same time complained in his heart that the guy in charge of the ambush didn't even take off his waist card to ambush this unsure target. He didn't know that at that time, Li Kuan only had one person and two female dependents, and their Cui family had dozens of people, and they were completely victorious, if it weren't for Li Kuan's skills, there were really few people who could beat him, and such a thing would have happened. But at that time, no one would have thought that this fourteen-year-old boy would have a force value no less than that of Wei Chigong and Qin Shubao.

"What, I didn't find it, so what else do you report? Then I just looked for it, and that idiot actually went with a waist card, which is simply a handle! No, this Li Kuan must be found, he must be eliminated, otherwise if he returns to Chang'an, then the relationship between our Cui family and the royal family may be ......" As soon as the white-eyed old man heard that Li Kuan had not been found, and even revealed his identity, he immediately became anxious.

"Old eight, be quiet!" This old man is Cui Chang's cousin, the eighth in line, and the cousin of the contemporary head of the Cui family. Among the people present, his seniority is very high, and only Cui Chang is stable and can subdue him. So at this time, Cui Chang spoke. This old guy is a model of old people, although he is old, many things are beyond his strength, but he still insists on doing something in his family, saying that he is exerting his residual heat, in fact, some people present know that this old guy can't stay still, and wants to find something to do.

"Big brother...... The white-eyed old man stopped and looked at Cui Chang, who was still sitting in the chair.

"The old master of Qiyu, it is not without gains, although I failed to find Li Kuan, the king of Chu, but his two maids were found by us, the older one called Red Sleeves was injured in the previous ambush, and it was not too far away, and it was still under our surveillance. It's just that there are some people around them who are secretly protecting them, and we don't dare to make decisions on our own, so we came here to ask for instructions! The man said about the harvest during this time.

"Then what are you waiting for, arrest them! So that we can use them to force Li Kuan'er out! "The fat old man couldn't sit still, he was the lowest rank here, he was everyone's little brother, and even the old guys of his uncle's generation were here, so he had been silent all the time, and now he interjected.

"Have you found out where the people who protect them came from?" Cui Chang ignored the fat old man and asked to himself.

"No, those people are well hidden, and if the brothers hadn't been professionally trained, they might not have been able to find out! And in order to avoid startling the snake, we just stared from afar. The man said.

"Check it out, I suspect that those people are people from the Shengshang's side, if that's the case, it means that we have been exposed, and Li Kuan, the king of Chu, has already reported the news he knows to the Shengshang, which is difficult!" Cui Chang said analytically.

"Yes!" The man bowed and promised.

"If it weren't for the people around the saint, he would arrest those two girls, and maybe he could use these two girls to negotiate with the King of Chu. Maybe we won't be able to use it, because it might be the worst-case scenario, but be prepared! Cui Chang beside him, an old man holding a pu fan picked up the tea on the table and took a sip and said.

"Just according to what the third uncle said! If that kid Li Kuan can really force our Cui family to such a desperate road, then it is not impossible to use these two girls as a condition to negotiate! Cui Chang seemed to agree.

"Yes!" The man bowed down again and agreed.

It's just that no one noticed it outside the window, and a figure in a blue shirt there listened to everything they said, clenched his hands into fists and gritted his teeth: "You guys really think Lao Tzu is a soft persimmon?" Then accept Lao Tzu's thunder! Kill you! As he spoke, he pulled out a fire fold and a bundle of cylindrical things.

"Boom ......" a earth-shaking sound spread like thunder on dry land under the night, shaking the whole city. (To be continued......)
