Cui Yongjian looked out from the crack of the door and saw that there were only two people on the other side. After pondering for a moment, he asked: "Who are you?"

"Master Cui, and little Zhang San, are the slaves of Duke Baoguo." The person who just spoke outside the door replied.

Upon hearing that the other party was from the Duan family, Cui Yongjian relaxed his guard and opened the door with a creak.

After letting the two of them enter the room, Cui Yongjian carefully closed the door and asked anxiously: "What are you doing here?"

"This place has been exposed. Mr. Cui, please follow us and choose another place..." Zhang San saluted and said with fists in his hands, his attitude was extremely respectful.

"Wait a moment, I'll get something." Cui Yongjian replied happily.

With that said, he turned back to the bed and picked up a small package.

Just like an ant on a hot pot, now that he heard that it was an ally who came to rescue him, Cui Yongjian certainly did not doubt that he was there. At the same time, he asked casually: "Thank you two for coming to report. I wonder how Duan Erlang is doing now?"

"My second young master is doing well. It was the second young master who asked us to come here."

Just as he lifted his legs to go out, Cui Yongjian seemed to have thought of something and was shocked.

Wasn't Duan Cui arrested by Baiqi? How could he send someone here to inform him?

Cui Yongjian's expression did not change, but he stopped in his steps and said to Zhang San and the other two: "You guys go out first, I still have something to do."

Seeing Cui Yongjian's procrastination, Zhang San urged with some displeasure: "The situation is urgent now. Please don't delay Mr. Cui. If there is anything, we will have someone bring it to you."

That tone didn't sound like the words spoken by a servant at all, it seemed like an order.

Cui Yongjian further confirmed his suspicions and shouted angrily: "Who are you? Wasn't Duan Erlang caught by Bai Qi? How could I send you here? You want to deceive me, damn it!"

Zhang San and his accomplices looked at each other, and their expressions darkened: "Mr. Cui, please don't toast me and eat as a penalty."

Cui Yongjian took two steps back and smiled proudly: "I am the third son of the Cui family, what can you do to me? No matter which faction you belong to, please think twice before you act."

At this moment, the sound of horse hooves was heard in the distance, and anxious and low voices were heard outside the door.

"Captain Zhang, the entire Tongfu Temple is surrounded by Baiqi, what should we do now?"

Looking at Cui Yongjian uncertainly, Zhang San smiled sadly, gritted his teeth and said: "Master Cui refuses to leave, then you don't want to leave."

As he spoke, he waved his hand to his companion: "The master of the house has an order. If Mr. Cui refuses to cooperate, he will be dealt with on the spot."

Cui Yongjian was shocked: "You are not afraid of the Cui family's retribution..."

Before Cui Yongjian finished speaking, Zhang San's companion grabbed him by the neck and lifted him up.

As a dandy, Cui Yongjian had no power to fight back. Although he kept slapping his hands, it was a pity that it did not help.

In the end, I kicked my legs hard a few times, only to make a few grunting sounds and then there was no movement.

With wide eyes, he could not believe until his death that someone actually dared to kill him.

Zhang San's expression remained unchanged, and he said coldly: "After packing up, evacuate immediately."

After saying that, a few more people came in outside the room, busy with something.

Yang Fan, on the other hand, yawned while riding slowly alongside Li Junxian, while Qin Huaidao had already led Baiqi to Tongfu Temple in Xingdaofang.

The sharp cold wind couldn't help but make Yang Fan tighten his collar and complained to Li Junxian: "Brother, you are too unloyal. You are just catching a playboy who has no power to tie a chicken. Why did you drag him down?"

its me?"

"Since we are brothers, of course we share blessings and hardships, and we have great achievements. Of course I can't abandon you, brother." Li Junxian smiled awkwardly and said with a guilty conscience.

Isn’t this like General Li’s style?

He gave Li Junxian a strange look, but Yang Fan didn't think much more about it. He only thought that this guy was afraid that he wouldn't be able to catch him, so he pulled him along.

Unexpectedly, Yang Fan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Li Junxian seemed to be relying on him!

Although I really don't want to meddle in these nosy matters, after all, I have His Majesty Li Er's imperial order, so I really can't shirk it.

Without asking any more questions, Yang Fan raised his riding whip to increase the speed of the war horse. He did not want to accompany these gentlemen to starve and freeze all the time.

Soon, the two of them arrived at the entrance of Tongfu Temple, and Yang Fan felt his eyes light up.

Looking up, this temple has a series of palaces, buildings like scales, and sandalwood incense and Sanskrit sounds are low.

This temple is located in a busy section of the market, which looks a bit weird.

At the same time, Tongfu Temple was surrounded by Baiqi soldiers, but these soldiers did not enter.

Qin Huaidao also stood respectfully outside the gate, as if waiting for something.

Yang Fan glanced at him on the horse and asked, "Why don't you go in and arrest him?"

Qin Huaidao quickly replied: "My subordinates have asked Baiqi to block Tongfu Temple. Now I am waiting for orders from the commander-in-chief and Marquis Zhongyi."

Yang Fan frowned: "I'm going to have to deal with your fate, not to mention it's such an urgent matter, what are you waiting for?"

No matter what position you are in, being decisive is the best quality. Being indecisive will not lead to great things.

Originally, Yang Fan was very optimistic about Qin Huaidao, but now he was a little dissatisfied with his procrastination.

This kid has always been very smart, I don't know why he made such a stupid mistake at this time.

If you delay for one more minute, the suspect may escape. Nothing in this world is guaranteed.

Of course Qin Huaidao saw Yang Fan's dissatisfaction and said hesitantly: "This Tongfu Temple cannot be touched lightly."

After saying that, he looked at Li Junxian with a grimace as if asking for help.

There seems to be something hidden?

Yang Fan was really speechless!

Turning to Li Junxian, he asked: "Is the backstage of this temple very hard?"

I have some doubts in my mind, it’s just a Buddhist temple, what’s the big deal?

What background can make Baiqi feel afraid?

Taoism is the state religion, and Baiqi can't just check it whenever he wants. How can a Buddhist temple have so many concerns?

Li Junxian said helplessly: "This Tongfu Temple was built with His Majesty's personal permission back then. The purpose was to recite sutras and pray for Empress Dowager Xiao. He ordered soldiers not to enter."

Yang Fan was slightly startled!

Queen Mother Xiao?

The background is really big!

However, Yang Fan reacted quickly, looked at Li Junxian suspiciously and said, "Brother, you deliberately asked me to come with you. I'm afraid it's not to share the credit, but to make me the scapegoat, right?"

"Since you know that soldiers can't enter, why didn't you tell me earlier? What's the point of asking me to come?"

Li Junxian smiled awkwardly, and Cancan said: "Brother, what are you talking about? Brother, am I that kind of person?"

Yang Fan said coldly, not intending to give Li Junxian face: "Haha, isn't it?"

All the evil people have done evil to me, how can I give you any face?

Qin Huaidao interrupted at this time: "My subordinates have already communicated with the abbot of Tongfu Temple. They wanted to go in quietly to search, but he refused."

"He said that this is a temple built by His Majesty Chrysostom. At this time, Empress Dowager Xiao is chanting sutras and praying inside, so she cannot go to disturb it."

"It's not good to be too tough in your humble position. I can only wait for you, Marquis Zhongyi, to come forward."

What does this mean? Can you just let yourself show up?

When did you have such a great reputation?

Yang Fan was a little curious: "Do I know this abbot?"

Li Junxian said quickly: "I don't know whether you know me or not, but the abbot of Tongfu Temple knows you, and even Queen Mother Xiao has a close relationship with you, brother."

Yang Fan was even more confused: "Oh? How do you say this?"

After listening to Li Junxian's explanation, Yang Fan suddenly realized.

It turned out that the abbot had bought a glass Arhat at Yang Fan's auction house.

And Xiao Shiyun in the Zhongyihou Mansion has a close relationship with the Empress Dowager Xiao.

"That's it!" Yang Fan nodded clearly.

But I was secretly complaining in my heart.

When you used those glazed arhats to deceive the Buddhist sect, it was enough not to be resented by them, but you didn't even have the chance to give them face?

Could it be that Li Junxian wanted him to use Xiao Shiyun's banner to gain favors?

But I don't know this Empress Dowager Xiao, so what does Li Junxian mean?

But then again, it's incredible that Queen Mother Xiao has so much energy that even Baiqi Naren dare not enter!

Could it be that His Majesty Li Er really had an affair with this Empress Dowager Xiao? Otherwise, how could he be so caring?

This is too ridiculous!

The Queen Mother Xiao was at least sixty years old when she returned from the Eastern Turks, right?

Now he is in his seventies.

In ancient times, this was considered a long life.

I can’t understand why Li Er, an old woman like this, would like her!

You know, the eldest grandson Wugou is so beautiful that His Majesty Li Er has already stopped touching her when she is only in her thirties!

I really can’t imagine what charm Queen Mother Xiao has that could attract His Majesty Li Er!

Yang Fan's thoughts suddenly drifted away.
