Li Yuan raised his eyebrows, he wanted to persuade Yang Guang a few words, but when the words came to his lips, taking into account his identity, he couldn't help but say nothing, and only comforted Yang Guang and said: "Niangniang just ordered me to escort Li Jing back to Beijing to ask, and I didn't think that he rebelled against the imperial court, so the prince doesn't have to worry about it." ”

As soon as Yang Guang's words were spoken, he also felt that he was eager to save people's hearts, and without Li Jing's consent, he made the decision for him, and did things a little more openly, so he turned to Li Yuan and asked: "Cousin, what is the situation in the north now?" Has Du Lan listened to Liu Jushi's persuasion and is ready to raise troops? ”

Li Yuan replied with a solemn face: "The situation in the north is really worrying. It is said that the Turks have deployed 100,000 troops outside Baidao Prefecture, and they are eyeing each other, and they may raise troops to attack at any time. At the same time, the Guanzhong area is not very peaceful, and there is a banner of 'killing Hu Zhai', which is ...... to create chaos."

"'Killing Huzhai' was originally a peripheral organization of 'Wild Goose's Nest', and a few years ago it collapsed with the elimination of the 'Wild Goose's Nest' in Jiangbei. Yang Guang said firmly.

"Fortunately, the prince caught Gu Zi'er, the successor of the 'Wild Goose's Nest', in time and stabilized the situation in Jiangnan, otherwise, I don't know what the saint and Niangniang would be in a hurry."

"Since my cousin mentioned Gu Zi'er, I can't stop saying a few words for Li Jing, if it weren't for Li Jing going deep into the tiger's den and capturing Gu Zi'er, the bandits in eastern Zhejiang would not have been able to be quelled so quickly......"

"Okay, if the prince wants to exonerate Li Jing, I suggest that the prince write a letter to his mother, I can do it for me and hand over this letter to my mother, how about it?" Li Yuan smiled and waved his hand, and said to Yang Guang.

At this time, a sergeant came to report, saying that Duan Da had led his troops back to Guangling, and now he asked to see him outside the government office. Li Yuan saw that Yang Guang had official business to deal with, so he took the opportunity to leave and left the conference hall first.

After Yang Guang saw Duan Da and asked him in detail about the experience of following Li Jing and Feng Xiaoxi and his party to trap Zhang Zhongjian, he learned that Zhang Zhongjian had planted eyeliner beside Li Jing and Feng Xiaoxi when they crossed the river to the north, and then set up a suspicious formation, lured Duan Da's troops astray, and failed to reinforce Li Jing in time.

"In this way, Li Jing is surrounded alone, and it is not easy to escape with his whole body......"

"Lord Wang, the last general is incompetent, and he was lured astray by Zhang Zhongjian's scheme, which led to the escape of the bandit leader Zhang Zhongjian, and please punish the last general for the crime of delaying the military plane."

"I underestimated Zhang Zhongjian's resourcefulness in this matter, no wonder you and Li Jing." Yang Guangdu stretched out his hand to help Duan Da up, and said to him, "Li Jing is in a little trouble now, I want to order you to escort Gu Zi'er, Yan Shisan and others back to Beijing with Tang Guogong, are you willing?" ”

Duan Da had an understanding of Yang Guang's concern for the previous Yang Guang and advocated that Gu Zier and others be escorted back to Beijing after recovering the 100,000 ransom that had been robbed, and handed over to the imperial court for treatment. ”

"This matter has nothing to do with you, this king will ask the Duke of Tang to submit a letter on his behalf and ask his mother to intercede for Li Jing. You will cross the river tonight, meet Jianping and Chongzhi with the warrant of this king, and escort Gu Zi'er and Yan Shisan to Guangling early tomorrow morning to rendezvous, and return to the court with Tang Guogong. Yang Guang glared at Duan Da and ordered him.

Sent Duan Da away, seeing that it was almost dusk outside, because he remembered that Li Yuan would escort Li Jing back to Chang'an tomorrow, Yang Guang was really reluctant in his heart, so he couldn't even take a bite of food, and ordered Guo Yan to lead the way and go straight to the prison where Li Jing was held to visit him.

Because Li Jing was only a suspect pending investigation, Li Yuan was not too embarrassed for him, except for sending two accompanying forbidden army captains to guard the door, all food and drink were provided as usual.

Yang Guang took Guo Yan to the door of the cell, and through the door, he heard a loud snoring sound coming from the cell.

"This kid has a big heart!" Yang Guang smiled and ordered the two lieutenants to open the door, ordered Guo Yan and the two guards to stay outside the door, and walked into the cell alone.

Seeing that Li Jing was still snoring loudly, but as soon as there was a slight disturbance around him, he immediately woke up, and when he rolled over from the bed and got up, he saw clearly that it was Yang Guang standing in front of him, and immediately clasped his fists and saluted: "The last general is rude." ”

"Li Jing, just now this king heard Duan Dayu report that he led his troops to be lured astray by Zhang Zhongjian's tricks, and failed to reinforce you in time, knowing that it is not easy for you to retreat from the siege of the other party alone, and I can pardon you for the crime of letting Zhang Zhongjian go without permission." Yang Guang sat down in the room and said to Li Jing.

"Thank you for the grace of the prince not to kill. Lord Wang, there is still one thing to explain to you. ”

"Say it."

"In his contact with the bandit leader Zhang Zhongjian, General Mo asked him face to face whether the two murders that occurred in Jiankang not long ago were from him, although Zhang Zhongjian avoided answering, but from his reaction at the time, he vaguely felt that the real culprit of these two murders may not be Zhang Zhongjian, but someone else."

"Oh? How so? Yang Guang came to visit Li Jing, and wanted to ask him in person whether he had anything to do with Liu Jushi's rebellion, so that he could draft a letter to his mother Dugu Aojia Luo overnight and intercede for him, but Li Jing first told him about the case, which also aroused Yang Guang's great concern, and asked him in detail about the case.

"At the time of the Tongguangni Temple incident, although the last general was ordered to run an errand in eastern Zhejiang, he had listened to the prince and Pei Du Ji and others discuss the case afterwards, so he also knew a little about the incident. Wang Ye imagined that Zhang Zhongjian knew that there was fraud in the last general and Feng Xiaoxi going north, but he still did not hesitate to take risks and personally came forward to kidnap Feng Xiaoxi, which shows that Feng Xiaoxi must occupy an extremely important position in Zhang Zhongjian's mind. On the night of the incident in Tongguangni Temple, Feng Xiaoxi and Xinyi were in the same room, and when the assassin sneaked into Xinyi's room, Feng Xiaoxi was already fascinated by Xinyi and couldn't wake up, if the assassin was Zhang Zhongjian himself, he would definitely take advantage of the situation and escape with Feng Xiaoxi, and he would never turn a blind eye to her and abandon her. Moreover, when he heard that the last general asked Zhang Zhongjian who the real culprit of the two murders in Jiankang was, Feng Xiaoxi also asked Zhang Zhongjian about the truth of Tongguangni Temple in person, and the last general found that although Zhang Zhongjian avoided answering this, there was no shame in his expression, and he could also corroborate the general's suspicion of him. Li Jing said Kankan.

"There is less than two months between the case of Tongguangni Temple and the case of Wang Fu's assassination in the Jiankang Mansion, and the placement of Xinyi and others in the Tongguangni Temple is a trap set for the remnants of the 'Wild Goose's Nest', and the vigilance of the Tongguangni Temple is still much better than that of the Jiankang Mansion, if it is not Zhang Zhongjian's doing, then who will be the assassin who infiltrated the Xinyi Lodge?" Although Yang Guang thought that Li Jing's suspicion of Zhang Zhongjian was reasonable, he couldn't think of anyone with such extraordinary skills who could sneak into Tongguangni Temple to commit crimes under layers of guard.
