"What do you mean?" Lu Qiyan was surprised.

"I received a letter this afternoon saying that Cui Wenshuo will arrive in Changzhou City tomorrow." Xiao Luoan said, "This Cui Wenshuo's arrival was a bit sudden. I don't know what his purpose is, but after thinking about it, I think it's probably because he wants to win over the An family."

The Cui family supports the second prince in order to become the number one family in the world many years later. Not to mention being able to completely control the government, but to ensure that the emperors come and go, but the Cui family remains forever.

If the Second Prince wanted to win over the An family at this time, and wanted to take a share of the carefully prepared delicious dishes before they were even served on the table, the Cui family would probably not be very happy.

Xiao Luoan couldn't help but feel a little worried about the people coming from the Cui family.

"I remember that Cui Wenshuo is the third son of the Cui family. He has outstanding literary talent, great strategy, and is handsome and well-known. Even the head of the Cui family has high hopes for him." Lu Qiyan opened his mouth.

"Yes." Xiao Luoan nodded. "The third son of the Cui family is very popular and is deeply trusted by the head of the Cui family. The eldest son of the Cui family is in poor health and spends half a year recuperating. The second son of the Cui family is a passionate man with countless female confidants and is very romantic. Only the third son is diligent in his chores and can be regarded as a role model for the sons of the Cui family."

"The head of the Cui family has been interested in cultivating Cui Wenshuo and has stated many times that if he dies a hundred years later, the Cui family can only continue its glory under Cui Wenshuo's leadership. This shows how much he values ​​him."

It can be said that Cui Wenshuo is the future head of the Cui family, and his identity and status are very noble.

But it was precisely because of this that Cui Wenshuo's arrival made Xiao Luoan feel a little uneasy.

"As the future head of the Cui family, he must have a certain vision and decisiveness, and he should be able to see things more clearly."

Lu Qiyan paused and smiled, "The smarter people are, the more they understand this truth. I think the Third Prince can rest assured."

Xiao Luoan pursed his lips when he heard this and said no more.

The night was thick, completely covering the entire earth and making all things fall into a deep sleep.

But tonight, many people slept uneasily.

This includes Cui Wenshuo.

After being away from home for several days and traveling all the way, he was exhausted and felt uncomfortable all over. Although he found the best inn, the bed was too hard and the room was too small and messy, which made it impossible for him to fall asleep.

Cui Wenshuo frowned and let out a sigh after a long time.

As the saying goes, you have to give up something in order to gain something. Many times, you still have to endure some grievances.

Cui Wenshuo comforted himself and forced himself to close his eyes.

"Boom!"

There was a sudden noise outside the window.

The sound was dull, like someone knocking on the window.

But his room was on the second floor of the inn, and if someone knocked on the window...

This made Cui Wenshuo alert immediately. He quickly rolled off the bed and did not bother to put on his coat. He just tiptoed to the bedside against the wall. Without sticking his head out, he just said in a deep voice, "Who!"

No one responded, but another "dong" sound was heard.

Unlike last time, the sound this time was like a sharp blade piercing into wood.

Cui Wenshuo's face darkened, and after a long time he raised his hand and pushed open the window.

Under the moonlight, one could clearly see that a feather arrow had pierced straight into the window frame, and at the end of the arrow was a bundle of paper.

Is it a letter?
Cui Wenshuo hesitated for a moment, reached out to take it, and it was indeed a piece of paper with two lines of small words on it, writing the time and place.

It seems that someone has asked him to meet.

Cui Wenshuo pulled the corner of his mouth, returned to the table, picked up the tinder and lit the candle on the table, and then used the candle flame to light the paper. The paper burned, and the flames appeared everywhere. The guards outside immediately rushed in and saw Cui Wenshuo sitting at the table, and a feather arrow stuck in the half-open window. They were immediately shocked and knelt on the ground, "Sir, your subordinates..."

"Go get thirty military sticks." Cui Wenshuo didn't even raise his eyes. "The people under your command are useless. Replace them with new ones."

He had more than dozens of guards, all of whom were carefully selected. Yet it was unexpected that someone could get close to him so easily, using such a sharp weapon as a feather arrow.

Intolerable!

"Yes." The leader of the guards responded hurriedly and retreated.

But after going out, he frowned again.

Although the master has set up a net around him, he will definitely be able to detect anyone approaching. In this situation, there are actually people who can do this...

Receiving thirty military sticks is not a big deal. The most important thing is to find out who can do this!
The leader of the guards was puzzled and quickly sent people to investigate.

The next morning, the chief guard came to report to Cui Wenshuo about what happened last night, enduring the pain.

The person who shot the arrow never approached the inn from beginning to end, and the arrow was shot from half a mile away.

Cui Wenshuo, who was enjoying milk soup, was stunned when these words were spoken.

An ordinary bow and arrow can only shoot a feather arrow forty feet, but someone can actually shoot a feather arrow so far and so accurately...

Is it to show that if the other party wants his life, it will be as easy as taking something from a bag?
It seemed that he really had to meet this person.

Cui Wenshuo lowered his eyes and ate up the milk soup in the bowl.

The sun was setting and the sunset covered half the sky.

It is the autumn plowing season, there is a lot of work to do in the fields, and the farmers are extremely busy.

The rosy glow made the earth glow red, and stretched out everyone's figures. Cui Wenshuo's carriage slowly passed along the official road beside the fields and arrived at the location written on the paper.

It is a dilapidated temple that has been abandoned for a long time, backed by a small hillside and surrounded by desolate land.

Seeing such a place, Cui Wenshuo frowned slightly, but still walked in.

Lu Qiyan and Xiao Luoan had been waiting inside for a long time. When they saw Cui Wenshuo, Lu Qiyan bowed and said, "Mr. Cui."

Cui Wenshuo didn't recognize Lu Qiyan and nodded slightly. However, when he saw Xiao Luoan, the corners of his mouth twitched, and his smile was slightly contemptuous. "I haven't seen you for many days. The Third Prince has become more particular."

They actually wanted to invite him out in this way.

Really...

Bold!

Xiao Luoan had long been accustomed to the fact that he, the unpopular prince, was not taken seriously. He just smiled and said, "I didn't want to do this, but I knew that the Third Young Master had a lot of things to do. In addition, Deputy Commander Lu also wanted to leave a good impression on the Third Young Master, so I had to do this."

"Oh?" Cui Wenshuo raised his eyebrows and looked at Lu Qiyan again.

Is this person the one who shot arrows half a mile away?
Instead, he looks elegant and has a great demeanor and looks quite good.

And since Xiao Luoan called him deputy commander, he must be the new deputy commander under An Leiting.

"It turns out to be Deputy Commander Lu." Cui Wenshuo then bowed slightly and said politely, "Excuse me."

"Mr. Cui, you are too polite." Lu Qiyan bowed again. "I have to ask Mr. Cui to come out today, but I have an extremely important matter to discuss with you. Please allow me to do so." (End of this chapter)
