If not, hum..."

Hearing Li Junxian's words, Duan Zhixuan was stunned!

Now I really want to kick this son to death.

If Cui Yongjian was caught, the consequences would be disastrous. Only then did Duan Zhixuan realize that something was wrong!

Fortunately, I didn't tell my son the full plan at the beginning, otherwise...

Duan Zhixuan was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat!

Yang Fan, this treacherous boy, is so insidious that he seems to want to catch them all.

Regardless of rescuing Duan Guan, Duan Zhixuan looked at Yang Fan coldly and said: "Since Quan Zi is involved in the assassination case, it is inconvenient for me to intervene. Your Majesty will decide everything. Take my leave."

With that said, he turned around and left the torture chamber!

Yang Fan was startled, this old boy is really ruthless, he handles things neatly and never sloppily.

Duan Guan was dumbfounded!

His father actually came with an imperial edict and refused to save him. Isn't this nonsense?

Just as he was about to open his mouth to ask for help, the dirty stuff flowed directly into his mouth, and he couldn't make any sound anymore.

This eye-catching scene made Li Junxian and Qin Huaidao retching.

…

Chang'an Xingdaofang!

Not only are there many East Turkic survivors here, but there are also many former Sui Dynasty nobles, among whom the former emperor and empress Xiao is one of them.

Speaking of Empress Xiao, it can be said that her reputation will last through the ages. She has been through six emperors, and every emperor has been extremely fond of her.

It can be seen from this that her appearance is unparalleled in the world and her beauty and fame are unparalleled. However, her life was wandering and miserable until she died. It can be said that she was both lucky and unfortunate.

At the same time, she is also a legendary woman who is gentle, intelligent, knowledgeable, courteous, proficient in medical skills, and knowledgeable about fortune telling.

In the fourth year of Zhenguan, after Li Jing defeated the Eastern Turks, Empress Xiao, who was in her sixties, was welcomed back to Chang'an and lived in Xingdaoli.

Since Empress Xiao had worshiped Buddhism since she was a child, Li Shimin built a Buddhist temple for her in Xingdaoli, named Tongfu Temple.

Because of the name Empress Xiao, in the past seven or eight years, Tongfu Temple has already gathered a large number of pilgrims.

A few days ago, Cui Yongjian went to his ancestral home Qinghe to take refuge under the arrangement of Cui Yongping.

But Cui Yongjian, who has long been accustomed to the prosperous life in Chang'an City, could not bear the desolation of his ancestral home.

What's more, if he returns to Qinghe, he will be supervised by the clan elders, so Cui Yongjian quietly returned to Chang'an halfway.

Of course, this is not because he is not afraid of death, but because of his pride.

On the one hand, he believed that there were no loopholes in the plan to transport the crossbows, so it was impossible to trace him.

On the other hand, it is pride in one's own origin.

I remember when His Majesty Li Er wanted to marry their Cui family, he was rejected without hesitation.

Even so, His Majesty Li Er has no way to deal with their Cui family.

So much so that Cui Yongjian got a little carried away!

He believed that even the emperor was nothing more than this, so he dared to sneak back to Chang'an secretly.

Because he was afraid that his brother Cui Yongping would find out, he could only donate a sum of money for incense to Tongfu Temple, and then lived in the side courtyard of Tongfu Temple where pilgrims were received.

After several days of suffering, Cui Yongjian's restless heart was ready to move again when he saw that Bai Qi was still as clueless as he had suspected.

Last night I quietly went to Piaoxiang Temple to spend the night with my old sweetheart, and returned to the temple at dawn.

When Cui Yongjian was trying to catch up on his sleep, there was a knock on the door outside.

"Is the young master back?"

After Cui Yongjian responded, a close aide ran in.

The confidant's face was sweating profusely and he seemed to be in a panic.

"Why are you so flustered?" Cui Yongjian scolded him unhappily, wrapped in a quilt.

The confidant didn't pay attention to Cui Yongjian's tone at all. He hurriedly closed the doors and windows and whispered: "Sir, Duan Erlang has been arrested!"

"Duan Guan was arrested? When did it happen? Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Cui Yongjian was so shocked that he even stopped falling asleep and asked several questions in succession.

He had told Duan Guan, a cunning friend, about secretly returning to Chang'an.

If Duan Guan confessed to him, Cui Yongjian would not dare to think about it...

Did Baiqi find evidence?

Otherwise, how would you dare to arrest a prince's son?

Cui Yongjian felt a bone-chilling chill.

The confidant swallowed and quickly replied: "It is said that Duan Erlang was arrested at midnight last night. The young master went out last night. It is not easy to search for him in a big way, so I can only wait here."

"Young Master, you should leave the city and return to Qinghe as soon as possible. If Second Young Master Duan tells you where you are hiding, then..."

The confidant did not dare to continue talking, because he knew the result without saying it.

Once caught by Baiqi, even if the other party has no evidence, Cui Yongjian can shed a layer of skin, let alone Duan Guan.

Although Cui Yongjian was also scared, he still forced himself to think calmly, and after a long while he said: "We can't leave the city now. If Duan Guan confesses, we will inevitably fall into a trap if we go out."

"When His Majesty established Tongfu Temple, he gave an imperial order that this would be Empress Xiao's place of pure cultivation, and soldiers were not allowed to enter and disturb her peace."

"Even if Baiqi has clues, he won't dare to enter easily and conduct a search. It should be very safe here for the time being. You can go out and watch at the entrance of Fangjie. If there is any movement, send a signal quickly."

"No!" the confidant responded, then turned and left.

Suddenly, silence returned to the room, but this silence made people feel frightened.

Cui Yongjian was still sleepy, so he hurriedly put on his clothes and paced back and forth in the room.

Cui Yongjian was indeed a little panicked!

I thought to myself, why don't I go back to my eldest brother Cui Yongping's mansion and hide away?

Alas, it would have been better if he had been obedient and hid back in Qinghe. Even His Majesty Li Er could not do anything to him.

Qinghe belongs to the Cui family. I really regret that I ran back to Chang'an just for pleasure. I was too confident!

Just as Cui Yongjian was hesitating, there was a knock on the door.

This voice was so frightening that Cui Yongjian's heart almost skipped a beat. He could only ask in an anxious voice: "Who are you looking for?"
