"Something may have happened to Your Majesty."

Cheng Yaojin said with a solemn expression.

After waiting for an entire hour, the door has not opened yet.

Since the beginning of Zhenguan, such a thing has never happened before when the general went out and returned late at night.

After waiting for so long, there is still no result. The most likely thing is that something happened to the highest level, or something happened to the emperor.

"Is there any other way to get into the city?"

Fang Yuan also wondered if something happened to Li Shimin.

If there is a rebellion in Chang'an City, it will definitely be dangerous to stay in Chang'an City.

But if you don't stay in Chang'an City, then your original things may be attacked and destroyed, and the benefits will not be reaped.

"West City Gate!"

"One of my brothers should be guarding the west gate!"

Cheng Yaojin frowned, thought for a while and then said.

Since there is no feedback after reporting to the superiors, we can only open the door through personal relationships.

"Leave a few soldiers here and let's go to the west gate."

Fang Yuan made a decision immediately.

Cheng Yaojin had no objection and left a few soldiers here.

After a long circle, everyone finally arrived at the West City Gate.

"Which general is guarding the city?"

"I am Cheng Yaojin, the official from my country, please tell me my name quickly!"

Cheng Yaojin shouted again.

There were some sounds on the city, like announcements.

Not long after, someone from above responded and said loudly: "I am Cao Jiliang, Lao Cheng, what are you doing out so late at night?"

"Huh, it's fine if it's you, Lao Cao, open the door quickly!"

Cheng Yaojin breathed a sigh of relief.

It is his former brother who is guarding the city.

Fortunately, it is, otherwise I wouldn’t know what to do.

"You have to wait for this, I will inform the superiors first."

"Well, a few days ago, there were strict requirements from above that no one can enter or leave until the city gate is closed."

Cao Jiliang sighed and said.

As he spoke, the voice seemed to become a little farther away, as if it was far away from its original position.

"Slow, wait!"

"Old Cao, the situation has changed, don't leave yet!"

Cheng Yaojin quickly shouted to stop Cao Jiliang.

"What's going on?"

Cao Jiliang responded.

In the dark night, each other cannot see each other clearly.

Although there was torch lighting between the two sides, only the outline could be seen.

"I just went back through the main city gate, but the city guard didn't open the door for me. They went to inform me and didn't come back for an hour."

"I have other news. I suspect something has happened to His Majesty. Don't report it. Open the door first and let me enter the city before reporting it. I will take care of you no matter what happens."

Cheng Yaojin said loudly.

"Old Cheng, are you just making a wild guess?"

"How could something happen to His Majesty's good fortune?"

"And if I open the door for you like this, you won't be responsible for the consequences."

Cao Jiliang talks.

"It's your fault!"

"Our friendship is life-threatening, what are you afraid of?"

Cheng Yaojin suddenly said angrily.

"Let me think about it."

Cao Jiliang retreated.

No matter what Cheng Yaojin said below, he would not respond.

For this reason, Cheng Yaojin complained endlessly and complained to Fang Yuan and Du Miaoyan about Cao Jiliang's problems.

Fang Yuan and Du Miaoyan could only smile bitterly and wait to see if Cao Jiliang would open the city gate.

Half a quarter of an hour later, the city gate suddenly roared and opened.

"Old Cao, you damn did not disappoint me!"

Cheng Yaojin was stunned at first, then overjoyed.

Not long after, a middle-aged general came out.

"Lao Cheng, I'll open the door and let you in, but you can only come in by yourself. You have to stay outside for the rest. Do you understand that it's hard for me to do that, right?"

Cao Jiliang walked out with a serious face.

He gets straight to the point and cannot let most people in.

There are about five hundred people, which is a lot, and it can cause a lot of confusion.

He opened the door to Cheng Yaojin without the consent of his superiors, which was already a violation of the order.

If so many people are allowed in again, the problem will become more serious and the consequences will be unbearable.

"It's your uncle's. It's okay if others don't bring it, but this is Fang Yuan, the minister of household affairs. This is his wife, the daughter of Prime Minister Du, and this super expert. Can we always bring it in?"

Cheng Yaojin wanted to curse.

But seeing Cao Jiliang's serious face, he had no intention of joking with him.

I also thought of his difficulties, so I stopped forcing him, but asked Fang Yuan and Du Miaoyan to follow him into the city.

Fang Yuan is the Minister of Household Affairs, and he has the right to enter the Imperial City even at night. If he finds an opportunity to enter the Inner Imperial City, there should be no problem.

So Fang Yuan has to follow suit.

"It turns out to be Mr. Fang, which is fine."

Only then did Cao Jiliang notice Fang Yuan and Du Miaoyan, and immediately saluted them.

On the wedding day of Fang Yuan and Du Miaoyan, he was also present. Although he sat far away, he still recognized Fang Yuan and Du Miaoyan.

"Thank you!"

"Don't worry, General Cao. If the court pursues you, I will stand in front of you!"

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

"General, don't worry!"

Du Miaoyan also spoke.

"Thank you, Mr. Fang, thank you, Mrs. Fang!"

Cao Jiliang nodded heavily.

Then they made a way, Fang Yuan and Cheng Yaojin, a total of four people entered the city.

As for the other soldiers, they were left outside and waited for daylight before entering the city.

"Shilang Fang, what do you think?"

After entering the city, Cheng Yaojin asked Fang Yuan for his opinion.

He also has his own ideas, but he still wants to hear Fang Yuan's opinion.

"First go home and ask your family if they know anything about the situation."

"If you really notice something is wrong, immediately arrange for manpower to be on standby."

"Then no matter whether we find any problems or not, you can come to my house in an hour. It's not safe for me to walk around at night."

Fang Yuan thought for a while and said in a deep voice.

No matter what, we still need to confirm the situation again.
