Chapter 896 The person was taken away
Receiving the look from Chu Mo, Yang Ying immediately nodded knowingly and said:
"My lord, time is running out now. Let's hurry up and bring Princess Wei and the others here."
"It's not peaceful in the city right now, and I'm afraid something will change later."
After hearing Yang Ying's words, before Chu Mo could speak, Cui Yingying immediately woke up and said to Chu Mo hurriedly:
"Yes, yes, what this senior said is very reasonable. Today, that guy Li Shimin was so crazy that he not only attacked Duke Wei's mansion, but also ordered people to search Yang Hongyu's mansion."
"Right now, people from these two families are being looked for everywhere in Chang'an City. There must be a lot of you in your group, and you will definitely be eye-catching. If you encounter any unsighted people on this road, they will detain you indiscriminately. Then when the time comes, It’s a nuisance.”
"In this way, since I have nothing to do now, I will go with my husband and bring them to my Cui Mansion together."
After saying that, Cui Yingying was ready to have people prepare carriages and horses for the trip.
Chu Mo's original intention was just to ask Cui Yingying to send some people to escort his group, and he never thought about asking her to go with him.
If the other party goes with me, how will I explain it to my mother-in-law and the others in advance?
If he didn't explain it in advance, when he got to Cui Mansion, he believed that his identity would be revealed in just a few words.
Thinking of this, Chu Mo hurriedly stopped Cui Yingying:
"Mrs. Cui, why do I bother you for such a small matter? If you feel there is any inconvenience on the way, why not send a few servants from the house to escort me?"
"Besides, according to your current status, madam, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are watching secretly. If you go out with great fanfare to greet the people of Duke Wei, I'm worried that someone will interfere with it. Then in front of Li Shimin Give us eye drops and complicate our exoneration.”
Cui Yingying also began to ponder after hearing what Chu Mo said.
After thinking for a moment, I felt that what the other party said was reasonable, so I nodded and stopped insisting.
Soon, Cui Yingying sent more than [-] servants to escort them. Under the leadership of Cui Mansion's housekeeper, they followed Chu Mo to pick up the person.
However, what Chu Mo didn't expect was that by the time his group arrived at the location where they had separated, Zhou Xiaohai and the rest of Duke Wei's family were no longer there.
When Chu Mo was suspicious, a soldier dressed as a patrolling Wuhou came over, saluted Chu Mo and said:
"My lord, I am waiting here under the order of our Lord Zhou."
Seeing that the visitor was sent by Zhou Xiaohai, Chu Mo hurriedly asked:
"Didn't we agree to wait here? Why did they leave?"
After hearing Chu Mo's question, the soldiers were not in a hurry, but explained:
"Sir, you have been gone for too long. Mr. Zhou was worried that things would change, so he took people to the vicinity of the Prince's Mansion in advance to wait for you."
When he heard that the other party went directly to the Prince's Mansion, the look on Chu Mo's face changed again and again.
After looking at each other for the last time, Yang Ying said to Butler Cui:
"You also heard that the person was taken to the Prince's Mansion. Is there anything you can do now?"
When Butler Cui went out, he was told by Cui Yingying that no matter what this time, he would help the adult in front of him and bring him back.
Even if you encounter Imperial Guards and Thousand Oxen Guards on the road, you can do whatever you want as long as you don't take action.
Thinking of this, Butler Cui bowed respectfully and said:
"Sir Marco Polo, when Chu Mo was here, the head of the family has already told you that this trip is all about you. If you want to pick someone up, we will accompany you."
After receiving Butler Cui's assurance, Chu Mo immediately became energetic and said to the patrolling Wuhou:
"Did you hear that? Why don't you hurry up and lead the way?"
As the patrolman of Chang'an City, Wu Hou knew the steward of Cui Mansion.
He never expected that this unjust man, who was called the New Year Pig by his own family, could actually invite such a great god.
Looking at what Butler Cui meant, he was still so respectful to this barbarian, which had to make him feel shocked.
However, when he thought that the person standing behind his lord was His Royal Highness, the soldier suddenly felt a sense of confidence rising in his heart.
He is just a housekeeper. In front of His Highness the Crown Prince, he is like a chicken and a dog. He is nothing.
Thinking of this, the soldier snorted and didn't even bother to pretend. He turned around and strode forward.
Seeing that the other party was so rude, Butler Cui wanted to step forward and teach him a lesson, but was stopped by Chu Mo.
"Steward Cui, business matters now."
As he spoke, he suddenly raised his voice and said loudly:
"Why do you have to argue with a low-life person? According to your status, if you want to kill him, isn't it just a matter of words?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the soldier who was leading the way so arrogantly just now stumbled and almost fell down.
Yes, what is the identity of the other party and what is your identity?
Even if he is nothing in front of His Royal Highness, that is not something he can offend.
The head of the Cui family is someone that even His Majesty the Emperor would not dare to offend, but what about me?
If something goes wrong, at most the boss can help and say a few words of kindness, but when it comes to someone you really can't afford to mess with.
He would rather believe that the sow next door can climb a tree than that Zhou Xiaohai will offend the powerful because of him.
Thinking of this, the arrogant expression on his face immediately changed to an extremely flattering one. He turned to Chu Mo and Butler Cui and bowed in a series of salutes:
"Two adults, I was rude just now. I will apologize to the two adults and hope that they will forgive me."
Seeing the soldiers surrender, Butler Cui snorted disdainfully:
"Who do you think you are? You have the nerve to ask me to forgive you in front of me?"
As he said that, he was ready to blow people away.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he raised his hand, Chu Mo stopped him.
"Steward Cui, why do you have to argue with a pawn?"
Being interrupted by Chu Mo, Butler Cui couldn't figure out what the other party was up to, so he could only follow his words:
"What do you mean, Master Yi?"
Chu Mo chuckled, turned to look at the soldiers and asked:
"What is the relationship between Zhou Xiaohai and the Prince's Mansion? Do you know this?"
Hearing that the other party wanted to inquire about his master's details, the soldier suddenly looked embarrassed and was about to refuse.
From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Butler Cui looking at him with an unkind look.
The soldier's heart suddenly went cold.
If he refuses to answer, or answers randomly, he believes that Butler Cui in front of him will never let him go.
In fact, according to Cui Mansion's always vengeful approach, it is very likely that even his own family will not be spared.
