"It's a risky move to hand it over to that little Chenzi."

"Who knows if this eunuch will give it to the emperor? I can only take a gamble. If I can find someone to take with me before I die, the boss has already run away anyway."

"He ran away. Why didn't you let him come back? If he was left escaping in the city, he would be caught sooner or later. Don't you even have this kind of awareness?"

The man was in a hurry, he also wanted this person to come back!

That was their elder brother, but now the city gate was tightly closed, and they had to travel in other people's carriages.

The boss happened to be somewhere unknown that day, and it was the last day for the city gates to be closed, so he had no choice but to come back and report the news.

There are still a few people left in the city who are trying to provide support, but there have been no letters in the past two days, which means that they are either fleeing in the city or something has happened to them.

"Sacrificing a soldier isn't a loss, but sacrificing a rook to save the king is a waste of talent."

"If we see this situation, we can't sneak in rashly. After all, the gate is sealed, and the only way to enter the imperial city is gone."

"Not only are the city gates sealed, but they're also heavily guarded. Everyone coming and going needs to be checked. Naturally, the gates will only be sealed for a day or two. It's estimated that they'll be unsealed again after a day or two. I'm afraid the inspections in the city won't stop."

Search in the city.

They didn't have any status as a noble family, and they didn't even know anyone in the city... He didn't want to drag the Cao family, who was also a general's family, into this.

If they only knew one faction in this city, it would be the Cao family.

However, considering the situation of the Cao family, they should have severed ties with him long ago as he was planning to rebel.

After all, the Cao family is a family of good origin.

Generation after generation, they all became generals, and almost every one of them guarded the border or had made great contributions to the emperor. That was why they were valued by the Nan family and married his two daughters.

That is why this aristocratic family was considered dangerous by the emperor.

After all, the two factions are married and both are powerful, so it would be strange if they were not targeted by the emperor?

Seeing that this situation is not going to work, the Cao family will have to break with him at some point.

So when you mention Cao Cao, he appears.

The carrier pigeon from the Cao family has arrived.

The letter on the carrier pigeon was clearly from the Cao family. He was stunned when he opened it. The old patriarch of his family was still alive.

He was in his forties and was in charge of the Cao family. The letter didn't say anything about severing ties with him, but just wanted him to return to the imperial city when he had time.

I went back to the Cao family to prepare for Mr. Cao's funeral.

What happens after death?

Dead?

He was a little confused, not knowing whether it was true or not.

Or is it their so-called scheme to lure him back.

The last time he returned to the imperial city was a few months ago, but he did not go to the Cao family. He only visited the Nan family and then came back.

Because the situation at the border was tense, I hadn't been back at all in the past few months.

However, seeing the current situation, if the Cao family didn't intend to win him over, even if something really happened, he would have to hurry back to take a look.

"Could it be that something really happened to the Cao family?"

No one replied, no one answered, it seems like something really happened.

He quickly packed up and prepared to go back. No matter whether it was true or not, he had to go back and take a look.

"General, where are you going? You are not planning to return to this heavily guarded imperial city, are you? You are well aware of what is happening in this imperial city."

"I know, but if I don't go back this time, they'll accuse me of usurping power. In order to completely control the situation, I have to go back and take a look."

"As for life and death, you guys take care of it here first. If anything happens to me when I return, I'll let you know."

The group of people echoed his words, and some even planned to go back with him, but he refused.

"Now, I only need to send a few guards to accompany this general. You are also talented people who have been recruited. If you return with me, wouldn't it be a waste of talented people?"

The man just shouted.

However, there were a few people who were really brave and heroic, and were unhappy just by hearing this one sentence.

"What can I do about this? We are a family, and besides, it's just a normal situation. You rely on me and I rely on you. How can I let you just go back and let it end like this?"

Since that was what he said, the two of them couldn't resist, so they simply gathered a few people and planned to go back with him.

If something really happens, just let them run away first. I'm afraid I will be the one who will be blamed.

"Well, in that case, I, the general, have seen and remembered your lofty ambitions!"

"In that case, then you will return with me. I must express my gratitude to all of you talented people! Although I don't know the road ahead, I just hope that you will give me some face in this imperial city."

"Of course, of course."

After exchanging pleasantries, these people finally seized the military power.

Then left.

Naturally, the final control of the border was also handed over to Chu Zhan, and he was determined to complete the task!

So he wanted to go back to Cao's house. As soon as he entered the door, he saw a group of people standing at the door, and he didn't know who they were waiting for.

Anyway, after he came over, his servants came over one after another and shook hands with him.

"The young master is back!"

"The young master has returned. Now we only need you. Everyone in the Cao family has been notified. It's time to prepare."

It seems that since everyone has come back, he doesn't need one more. He is really far-sighted and has brought some people back with him.

I didn't know and thought he was going to ruin the show.

But he really didn't have such thoughts. He came here anyway, and he didn't plan to do anything rash.

So we shook hands and went in.

As soon as he entered, he found that the old man was sitting in the main seat, just pursing his lips and not saying a word. After seeing him come in, he was very happy and called him over and touched his head.

"You're finally back! When you came back before, you didn't even bother to see your grandfather and ask him what kind of person you are now! The first thing you should have done this time is to go to our front door and take a look!"

"Grandpa, don't be angry. Next time I will come back to take a look. Besides, I don't have any other thoughts before I say it."

The old man puffed his beard and glared.

What's the matter? Do you have any other thoughts?

Naturally, he also shook his head, but Xiaoxiao deliberately didn't act too radical to arouse the old man's suspicion.

He is probably the most beloved person in the old house now. If he acts too hastily and panicky, wouldn't that give people an opportunity to find fault with him?

Besides, my younger brother is not on good terms with me now. If I quarrel with him, I am afraid that I will suffer a lot.

Nowadays, his main energy is focused on the border.

It is not advisable to stay here for long.

"What's the matter with the letter Grandpa sent earlier?"

The old man just took a look and then glared at the housekeeper beside him.
