Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

Chu Mo curled his lips when he heard what the attendant said. He said it so nicely, it was obvious that he just didn't trust himself.

However, thinking of Li Chengqian's previous series of operations, Chu Mo had some doubts in his heart.

Maybe, I am judging the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain?

Perhaps Li Chengqian was not as unbearable as he thought, or maybe he really just wanted someone to escort him?

Thinking of this, Chu Mo took out two banknotes from his arms, handed them to the attendant, and then said softly:

"Thank you both, but I don't know if you two will be traveling together on this journey?"

He vaguely took the banknote handed over by Chu Mo, and a flash of joy flashed in the eyes of the waiter.

After hearing what Chu Mo said, the two of them said without any hesitation:

"If you need it, it's not impossible for the two of us to accompany you."

Hearing that Li Chengqian had no intention of accompanying the two to the Cui Mansion, Chu Mo immediately understood that the other party's purpose was really not to monitor him, but to escort him in the true sense.

"No, no, no, I'm very familiar with this journey, and there are all the guards to protect me, so I won't bother you two. Anyway, we have a long way to go, and we will have to deal with each other for a long time in the future. I also hope that you can be more beautiful for me in front of His Highness the Crown Prince. Say a few words.”

After knowing that the two of them were not here to spy on him, Chu Mo was in a good mood and took the initiative to flatter them.

Seeing Chu Mo's insistence, and His Highness the Crown Prince not insisting on the two of them accompanying him by name, the two attendants stopped insisting.

He just told the escorting captain a few words that he must deliver the person safely, and if Chu Mo needed anything, he must do it and then return home.

Seeing the two people leaving, Chu Mo breathed a sigh of relief and went directly to Hong Fu Nu's carriage. After saying hello, he hurriedly gave the order for the team to set off.

After receiving the order, the team immediately headed in the direction of Cui Mansion.

As soon as the team set off, Chu Mo looked around and found that no one was paying attention, so he hurriedly jumped into Hong Fu Nu's carriage, and then the two started talking quietly through the curtain.

Along the way, as expected, the streets were full of officers and soldiers searching for the Duke Wei's mansion and the Yang family.

Seeing such a large group of people like Chu Mo, I thought about going forward to interrogate them.

However, when they saw the guards of the Prince's Palace escorting them on both sides, no matter whether they were the Wuhou patrolling the streets, the Forbidden Army, or the Qianniu Guards, they all stopped and did not dare to step forward.

Soon, the group arrived at the door of Cui Mansion.

When we arrived at the gate of Cui Mansion, there was still a bustle of people and busy traffic.

It was as if the arrests in Chang'an had nothing to do with them.

Since Chu Mo had met with the person in charge of the door before, and this time he was accompanied by guards from the Prince's Mansion, so after seeing him this time, he went in without delay to report.

Seeing the steward go in to report, Chu Mo went straight to the guard captain of the Prince's Mansion, took out a wad of banknotes from his arms again, secretly stuffed them into his hands, and then said with a smile:

"Thank you for your help. I'm not respectful if I mean something."

The captain of the guard naturally knew that the person in front of him was an honored guest of His Royal Highness. Seeing how polite he was, he did not dare to show off in the slightest, and hurriedly clasped his fists in return and said:

"You're welcome, sir. I wonder if you have any other instructions?"

Anyone who can be sent as a bodyguard to escort Chu Mo is naturally not a fool.

With someone of his status, having such an attitude towards me, and even giving him money, it was clear that he had something to say.

Seeing that the guard captain was so knowledgeable, Chu Mo pulled him aside, took out the badge that Li Chengqian gave him and said:

"While traveling just now, I found that the situation in the city is very unfavorable to us. Even if the Cui family will protect us, we cannot guarantee the safety of Duke Wei Guo and his wife. Therefore, the Cui family leader and I intend to take them out of the city."

Hearing that Chu Mo was about to take people out of the city, the guard captain hesitated.

The order they received was just to escort people to Cui Mansion, and they did not say to leave the city.

However, after touching the banknote in his arms and looking at the token in his hand that represented the identity of the prince, the guard captain gritted his teeth and said:

"Then I don't know where Sir needs us to escort people? If it's too far away and the delay is long, I'm worried that we won't be able to deliver the mission after we go back."

Seeing that the guard captain did not refuse his request immediately, Chu Mo felt that something was wrong.

So, he immediately took out another wad of banknotes, stuffed them into the other person's arms and said:

"Not far away, just outside the city is Cuijiazhuangzi."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ordered you to escort me back to the Cui family. He did not say which Cui family it was. Zhuangzi outside the city is also the property of the Cui family and can be considered a part of the Cui family. Therefore, you are not disobeying the order. .”

Hearing that the other party didn't even come up with an excuse, and for the sake of the banknote, the guard captain naturally accepted Chu Mo's banknote.

"In that case, let's go on a trip. When the time comes, please ask Sir to explain something to His Royal Highness."

"That's natural. Your Excellency has helped me a lot. How could I ignore you?"

Seeing that the other party agreed, Chu Mo immediately patted his chest and promised.

The cooperation was achieved, and both of them got what they needed, so they were both very happy.

After chatting for a while, the steward who went in to deliver the message came out. After seeing Chu Mo, he hurriedly said:

"Sir, our master is already waiting inside."

After hearing the steward's report, Chu Mo said hello to the guard captain and then hurried into Cui Mansion.

After seeing Cui Yingying in the reception hall, Chu Mo hurriedly said without waiting for the other party to speak:

"Master Cui, the situation in Chang'an City is tense now. According to His Highness the Crown Prince, he wants us to leave the city as soon as possible to escape."

Seeing that Chu Mo was so anxious and revealed his purpose as soon as he entered the door, Cui Yingying thought that the situation outside was really out of control.

He didn't think about it carefully, he just asked in confusion:

"Have you met the prince? He actually agreed to help you? It seems that your friend's status in front of His Highness is far beyond my imagination."

"As for the Master Cui, in fact, part of this is thanks to you."

Chu Mo pretended to be embarrassed and laughed twice.

"Oh, there is also something about our Cui family? I wonder if sir, can you tell me something?"

Seeing Cui Yingying asking, Chu Mo pretended to be anxious and said:

"Master Cui, let's discuss this in detail on the way."

"Right now, the guards from the Prince's Mansion and the people from Duke Wei's Mansion are still waiting outside. Their target is too big, and I'm worried about being discovered by someone interested."

"So, the top priority is to leave the city as soon as possible. If Mrs. Cui is interested, we can discuss it on the way."
