Yang Guang listened to Yan Shisan's words, Huo Di stood up from his seat, pulled out the long sword from Liang Mo's waist with a "choking" with his hand, quickly walked in front of Yan Shisan, forced his chest with the long sword in his hand, and asked sharply: "You say it again, Jiao Er was shot by you?" ”

Several people who accompanied Yang Guang to interrogate Gu Zier and Yan Shisan, including Pei Yun, Liang Mo, and Li Jing, were all under Yang Guang's command for a short time, and they didn't know Jiao Er's identity and origin, seeing that Yang Guang was furious, he rushed straight to Yan Shisan with his sword, Pei Yun and Li Jing didn't have time to think about it, and ran over almost at the same time, dissuading Yang Guang and said: "Lord Wang!" ”

Yan Shisan didn't dodge or dodge, but straightened his chest, looked directly at Yang Guang and replied: "That's right, that old man followed us from Liaodong to Jiangnan, and he did die under the arrows of the young master." Today, the master fell into your hands, and if you want to kill or chop, listen to it. ”

"Hehe, when death is on the verge of death, you are still so hard-mouthed, don't you dare to kill you?" Yang Guang was so excited by Yan Shisan's unusually tough attitude that he swung his sword and wanted to cut at him.

"Keep people under the king's sword, keep people!" Pei Yun grabbed Yang Guang's hand holding the sword, and pleaded in a dumb voice, "Let the official ask him two questions, it's not too late for the prince to kill Yan Thirteen again!" ”

Li Jing saw that Yan Shisan did what he said, and once he lost to himself in the competition, he did not deny it, and he couldn't help but feel pity for him in his heart, and stepped in front of Yan Shisan, begging Yang Guangdao: "Lord Wang, the last general is willing to persuade Yan Shisan to serve the imperial court, please spare his life." ”

Yang Guang pushed Li Jing away, but shouted at Pei Yun: "Ask quickly, and leave him alive for a while." ”

Pei Yun glanced at Li Jing, signaling him to keep an eye on Yang Guang at all times, don't ask Yang Guang to coldly swing his sword and kill Yan Shisan, Fang walked up to Yan Shisan, and asked in a deep voice: "Since you have lost under General Li, you have to talk and count, what do I ask, you have to answer truthfully, do you hear?" ”

Yan Shisan looked at Li Jing, and then at Yang Guang, who was full of murderous anger, and said nothing.

At this time, Liang Mo also stepped forward, gently asked for the long sword from Yang Guang's hand, and guarded Yang Guang with Li Jing left and right, quietly listening to Pei Yun's question to Yan Shisan.

"Let me ask you, after you returned to Jiangnan from Gao Qinglian two years ago, where did you go to Jiangnan and what did you do?" Pei Yun didn't want Yan Shisan to be killed by Yang Guang so quickly, so he deliberately asked him a question that took time to answer.

Yan Shisan didn't appreciate Pei Yun's kindness, and only replied stiffly: "I can't remember what happened two years ago. ”

Pei Yun was helpless, glanced at Yang Guang, and had to ask again: "So, when Gao Qinglian's department was besieged in the mountains by the official army and committed suicide by jumping off the cliff, were you by his side?" ”

"No. He sent me an envoy in advance, and sent me away early. Yan Shisan still replied with his head held high.

Pei Yun pretended to be surprised and let out an "oh", and took advantage of the situation to ask, "What kind of mission did he send you, where were you when Gao Qinglian died?" ”

"I also learned later from the letter he ordered me to bring to Mrs. Gu, and he ordered me to stay by her side to protect her after I saw Mrs. Gu, and became her protector instead."

"Do you know what was written in the letter that Gao Qinglian ordered you to bring to Gu Zi'er?"

"I am illiterate, and according to Mrs. Gu, Gao Qinglian designated her as the heir in the letter...... Have you finished asking, and after asking, hurry up and send the master on the road. Yan Shisan looked impatient and asked Pei Yun urgently.

"The last two questions: First, since you claim to be the imperial guard of the Goguryeo Kingdom, why do you still want to stay by his side and obey his orders, knowing that Gao Qinglian is pretending to be the uncle of the Goguryeo king, Gao Liansheng?"

"This is the king's order to me, to keep him safe and obey his commands." Yan Shisan replied without hesitation.

Pei Yun deliberately mentioned in front of Yang Guang that Yan Shisan's identity was the imperial guard of Goguryeo, and it was also out of consideration for saving his life, he was quite satisfied with his answer, nodded and said: "That is to say, although you learned that he was not Gao Liansheng, the uncle of the king of Goguryeo, on the way to escort Gao Qinglian south back to Jiangnan, but in order to complete the mission given to you by the king, you still stayed by his side, until later, Gao Qinglian ordered you to be Gu Zier's escort, and you still thought that you were carrying out the royal order of the king of Goguryeo. stayed by Gu Zi'er's side, is that so? ”

Yan Shisan nodded, which was considered a tacit acquiescence.

Yang Guangfang was angry because he suddenly learned that Jiao Er had been shot by Yan 13 in the sea, so he drew his sword and wanted to kill Yan 13 on the spot to avenge Jiao Er.

"I can't imagine that you are so loyal to soup stock at such a young age!" Pei Yun turned around and saw that Yang Guangye had returned to his seat, so he praised Yan Shisan with a smile, and then asked, "Second question, as you just said, you have stayed by Gu Zi'er's side for a while, during this period, except for Qian Wuxuan and a group of people under him, do you know which other people obey Gu Zi'er's orders?" ”

Yan Shisan shook his head without thinking.

Pei Yun ordered the sergeant to put Yan Shisan aside, turned around and arched his hand at Yang Guang and said: "Please remember that Yan Shisan, who was originally the guard of Goguryeo King Gao Tang, belonged to the officials of other countries, and the officials suggested that he be escorted to Chang'an together with the bandit leader Gu Zi'er, and handed over to the imperial court to be sent down together." ”

Liang Mo also agreed, and lowered his voice to persuade Yang Guangdao: "Yes, Lord Wang, Gu Zi'er admits that she is the great bodhisattva who is the successor of the 'Wild Goose's Nest', and Yan Shisan is an official of another country, for the sake of safety, it is better to hand over these two to the imperial court as soon as possible." As a vassal king, it seems that it is not appropriate for the prince to deal with these two people arbitrarily. ”

Yang Guang nodded first, then shook his head again, and stared hatefully at Yan Shisan, who was standing far away by the sergeant, for a long time, before waving his hand and signaling to escort Yan Shisan down.

"Do you know that Jiao Eryuan is an old man who has followed his ancestors and fathers to fight on the battlefield for many years, and today he has to meet the real murderer of him, and this king can't kill him and avenge him, he is really unwilling." After the sergeants escorted Yan Shisan to retreat, Yang Guang said goodbye to Liang Mo and the others bitterly.

Pei Yun, Liang Mo and others had vaguely guessed from Yang Guang's move to draw his sword and kill Yan Shisan on the spot that the identity of Jiao Er, who died under Yan Shisan's arrow two years ago, must be unusual, and after listening to Yang Guang's explanation at this time, although they were surprised in their hearts, they still persuaded Yang Guang to escort Gu Zier and Yan Shisan back to Chang'an and hand them over to the imperial court for disposal. Yang Guangyin thought that although he couldn't kill Yan Thirteen and avenge Jiao Er, he could catch the real murderer who shot Jiao Er and hand it over to his father Yang Jian to deal with it personally, which could be regarded as an explanation for Jiao Er, so he reluctantly agreed.
