Chapter 42
As the saying goes, husbands and wives are birds of the same forest, and when disaster strikes, they fly separately.

Let alone outsiders.

In order to arrange the fine works, among the three thousand pieces that Cui Che recruited, not all of them were family servants, but also some refugees who didn't know their roots.

Cui Che was not without vigilance, he let his most trusted Zhang Wu personally lead the outsiders in the trilogy.

In Yecheng, there are two and a half people who know Cui Che's true identity, the two are naturally his contact with Xi Zuo and Pei Xiu, and the remaining half is Zhang Wu.

Cui Che never admitted it to Zhang Wu himself, but Zhang Wu made a good guess, otherwise Yu Chijiong would not have reminded Cui Che to cheer with the crowd that day when Wei Chijiong made an incident in the North Tower.

However, to Cui Che's surprise, Zhang Wu did restrain the outsiders, but some of his relatives wanted to trade Cui Che for a future.

In the eyes of those who don't know, Cui Che is a sweet potato.

He has old grievances with the prime minister's son, and it is well known that Cui Dana handles logistics and military supplies on behalf of Cui Dana. He was also promised to marry by Yuchijiong, which is undoubtedly a big fish second only to Yuchijiong and his son.

Cui Lu is Cui Che's clan uncle before he left the fifth server, and he has been in charge of Boling Manor for more than 20 years.

This time, Cui Che spent all his family wealth and recruited a series. Cui Lu did not participate at first, until Yuchijiong sent someone to call Cui Che back to Yecheng. A fortune.

Now that Yuchi Jiong has suffered a disastrous defeat and the building is about to collapse, others may be able to escape the guilt, but Cui Lu claims that he and Cui Che, the felon, are relatives in the fifth service, and he is also a rebel, if he does not act, he is afraid that he will inevitably die.

Before the war, Cui Che made arrangements for his subordinates. Zhang Wu led some of the family's children to maintain law and order in the city, and at the same time deterred the refugees who didn't know their roots in the army to prevent them from causing trouble.

They also arranged for some trustworthy family members to guard Pei's residence, and Miaorong and Mu Xieli also moved to live in Pei's residence.

There is only one guard of the centurion left beside me, and the captain of the guard is Zhao Wen. He has never practiced martial arts and does not understand military affairs. The person is Cui Lu, the deputy of the team.

In the Centuries, almost all generations have lived under the wings of the Cui family. Even Cui Che can call out the names of these people one by one, and regard them as the most trustworthy group of people, otherwise he would not stay in the team. Beside him, wait with him at the head of the city for Wei Xiaokuan to send people to take over Nancheng.

However, on the tower of Nancheng City, Cui Lu violently launched a rebellion, threatening everyone with the crime of treason, and proposed to arrest Cui Che in order to get rich. With his connections in Boling Manor for more than [-] years, he successfully won over half of the people. , but there are also some people who are unwilling to betray the Lord and confront them with knives.

Zhao Wen stood in front of Cui Che, and Cui Che pressed Zhao Wen's shoulder and said:
"Awen, this is the end of the matter, don't take your life again."

It was also the first time Zhao Wen saw such a scene. The hand holding the knife trembled violently, but he never let go.

"Young Lord, please don't underestimate me, I, I am not afraid of death!"

When Cui Che heard this, his heart was mixed with emotion and relief.

In this hundred-man team that draws their swords to each other, there is a clear distinction, and those who betray the master are all the sons and daughters of Boling Manor.

And those who protect the lord are all the sons of the family in the Yecheng mansion, that is, the group of people who went with Cui Che to Chang'an to study.

Cui Che took the knife from Zhao Wen's hand, crossed the crowd of guardians and said to Cui Lu and the others:
"I have old grievances with Yang Guang. He once threatened to arrest me and break my legs as revenge. You should know that a living Cui Che is far more valuable than a dead one.

"I fled from Chang'an back to Hebei, and spent four months with you. I spent four months in the friendship between master and servant. I will send you this wealth. Send someone to report to Zhouying quickly. Said that you captured Cui Che alive."

Zhao Wen and others were astonished, and tried to persuade:

"Xiao Langjun, I can still protect you from the encirclement!"

"If you fight them, you will drag this group of white-eyed wolves on your back when you die!"

"Abandoning Mr. Xiaolang and ignoring him to live on, how will we face the old Patriarch while waiting under the Nine Springs?"

Cui Che looked around at those who protected him and begged bitterly, and some even wiped their tears, he remembered them all in his heart.

Brother Che had always treated his servants very leniently, not to mention mistreating them, even if he made a mistake, he would just state the facts, reason, and then punish him accordingly.

Perhaps because of the baptism of education in the civilized age, Cui Che treated the servants as human beings, not domestic animals.

The more than [-] servants and maidservants who went to Chang'an with him felt the most about this, so the more than [-] house slaves who were transferred to the Hundred Guards were willing to fight for him.

'It seems that I am not such a failure in life. '

Cui Che sighed in his heart, and then shouted to Cui Lu who was doubtful:

"Why are you still standing still! When Zhou Jun enters the city, you think it will be your turn to get the credit, and some people want to curry favor with the prime minister's son!"

Cui Lu was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly sent someone to report to Zhou Ying.

Wei Xiaokuan did not participate in the battle for Yuchijiong in Beicheng, he even asked himself to supervise the army in order to share the credit, so how could he show such limelight again.

But he was still very surprised when he heard that his close friends reported that someone had captured Cui Che and surrendered the city.

After all, in his cognition, Cui Che has always been his own.

Wei Xiaokuan ordered his headquarters to enter the city to take over the defense of the city, and told the commander of the personal army to escort Cui Che, emphasizing that what he wanted was a living person.

While waiting for Cui Che, Wei Xiaokuan also figured out why Cui Che didn't reveal his identity.

If the real identity is revealed to the public, it will affect both Yang Jian's reputation and Cui Che's reputation.

When Cui Che and Yang Guang played that scene, Emperor Tianyuan was still alive. If Yang Jian was in a hurry to place Cui Che under Yuchi Jiong's command at that time, wouldn't it show that Yang Jian had planned for a long time.

Of course, Yang Jian has indeed planned it for a long time. This is not a secret, but it cannot be said publicly.

As for Cui Che, no matter what, if this kind of thing gets out, his reputation will definitely not be good. After all, when he was desperate, it was Cui Dana who accepted him sincerely.

Wei Xiaokuan straddled the horse and watched the battle in Beicheng, while Cui Che stood under the horse with his hands bound behind his back. This was the first time the two met, and for Cui Che, it was a bit awkward.

"Untie."

Wei Xiaokuan gave an order, and the commander of the personal army stepped forward to release the rope for Cui Che himself.

Another person brought a pen and ink, Wei Xiaokuan said to Cui Che:
"Write your own rebellion on paper."

Cui Che knew Wei Xiaokuan's purpose, he moved his shoulders, and wrote with his left hand, in which he confessed his guilt.

Although Cui Dana's name is Chang Shi, he took care of the logistics for Yu Chijiong by himself, and all the crimes had nothing to do with Cui Dana.

Wei Xiaokuan looked at the familiar and clumsy left-handed characters, without any doubt, he put away the confession, pretending to be pity and said:
"You have such talent at such a young age, and you will be a pillar in the future. It's a pity that you turned into a thief. Young people will inevitably make mistakes. I will not kill you today, and come back to Chang'an with me. Life or death is up to you." His Majesty decides."

What can the little emperor think.

Cui Lu, who was waiting for Wei Xiaokuan's praise, was dumbfounded. Could it be possible that Cui Che still survived? !
Cui Che immediately thanked Wei Xiaokuan, then turned his head and gave Cui Lu a small smile, but that smile made Cui Lu feel a deep chill.
