The mysterious man in white that Zhang Xiaoqi bumped into outside the Daxingshan Temple in the early morning a few months ago turned out to be the general of the Six Rates of the East Palace!

After Yang Guang received Xian Yuluo's report, he felt that this matter was not trivial, and because Pei Yun was left by Gao Yingqiang in Shangshu Province to re-investigate the case of cat ghosts, he was not by his side, so he had to summon Li Jing and Guo Yan, two guards, to the main hall of the palace to discuss what to do next.

Although Li Jingren is smart, after all, he is a few years younger than Guo Yan, and not long after returning to Chang'an, he does not know much about the delicate relationship between Yang Yong and Yang Guang, a pair of brothers, and immediately proposed to Yang Guang that he should openly ask the prince for Yuen Long, and bring him back to the palace to ask.

"At present, there is no evidence that the man in white instructed Gu Sheng to rebel, and according to Xian Yu Luo's report, Yuen Long is eight points similar to the portrait of the man in white, and it cannot be determined that the man in white is Yuen Long, Li Jing, isn't it too rash for you to go to the prince to ask for someone?" Yang Guang invited Yang Xuangan to paint a portrait of the man in white because Li Jing invited him to paint a portrait of the man in white, so he locked on to the goal of Yuen Long so quickly, and added a little love for him in his heart, and asked him with a smile.

Li Jing was reminded by Yang Guang, blushing and clenching his fists to apologize: "The last general was not thoughtful and almost missed the right thing. ”

"Li Jing, you are still young, and you will be an official in the court in the future, you must keep in mind, don't just worry about burying your head in running every mission, but also think more, and try your best to do a good job while not causing trouble for yourself." Yang Guang pointed at Li Jing euphemistically, changed his words, and instructed Guo Yan, "You immediately take someone to find out the daily life and behavior of this person in Yuen Long, and see if you can secretly arrest him for interrogation. ”

Li Jing felt ashamed of his hasty suggestion, and stepped forward and took the initiative to ask: "The prince's teachings have been kept in mind, but this mission should be handled by the general." ”

Yang Guang looked at Guo Yan, deliberately straightened his face, and said: "If the envoy who arrested Yuen Long is replaced by you, it will have to be done within a limited time, you say, you can arrest Yuen Long back in a few days, and not alarm the people in the East Palace?" ”

Li Jing originally wanted to say that he would be able to arrest Yuen Long to see Yang Guang tomorrow, but when the words came to his lips, he remembered Yang Guang's condition: he wanted to catch Yuen Long without alarming the people in the East Palace, so he changed his words and said: "Within five days, if the last general can't complete this mission, he is willing to accept any punishment." ”

Li Jing boasted in front of Yang Guang that he wanted to catch the East Palace within five days and return Zuo Yuanlang to the Jin Palace, but before he could lead people to ambush Yuen Long at his residence in Chang'an, find out Yuen Lang's daily life, and find the opportunity to arrest him, the crown prince Yang Yong had instructed Xiahou Fu to find an excuse to sweep Yuen Long out of the East Palace.

In this way, Li Jing had less scruples about arresting Yuen Long, and immediately decided to take action at Yuen Long's house in the early morning of the day after Yuen Long was kicked out of the East Palace, and arrested him and returned to the Jin palace to be interrogated by Yang Guang.

It was a cold and windy early spring morning, taking advantage of the dark sky, Li Jing led four Jin palace guards to quietly climb over the wall into Yuen Long's house, because he was confident that he could win Yuen Long alone, Li Jing ordered the four guards accompanying him to guard Yuen Long's escape route, and alone to Yuen Long's dormitory that had been secretly served.

Li Jing smoothly pulled open the door bolt of Yuen Long's dormitory with the tip of his sword, jumped into the room with a step twisted his waist, swung his sword and swooped straight to the position of the bed in the dormitory, and waited until he came to the bed to stand still, but he couldn't hear any sound on the bed close at hand, and faintly felt that something was wrong, and was about to lift the curtain around the bed to pick up Yuen Long from the bed, when he suddenly felt a sinking under his feet, and said secretly: "It's not good, there is an ambush." He jumped more than three feet high and threw himself on the bed.

When Li Jing's body fell to the bed, he found that there was only a soft quilt under him, and there was no one in the quilt, and when he was about to turn over and get up, he felt a chill around his neck, and a long sword with a cold light was on his neck.

Through a glimmer of light through the window, it was vaguely visible that it was Yuen Long himself in a nightgown standing in front of the bed with a sword, only to hear Yuen Long scold him in a tone full of resentment: "I have no grudge against the prince, why do you want to kill me all and kill me quickly?" ”

When Li Jing heard this, he let out an "oh" in his heart, and suddenly understood: Yuen Long mistakenly thought that he was the guard of the East Palace who came to kill him on the order of the crown prince Yang Yong. Thinking about it this way, a new question arose in my mind: why did Yuen Long think that he was the person sent by the prince to kill him?

"I'm not here to kill you, the Lord wants me to ask you back, and I have something to ask you face-to-face." Li Jing faked the show and explained to Yuen Long half-truthfully.

"Since that's the case, there's no need to say anything more, I'll let you go back to the prince now, Yuen Long does things alone, and it will never involve the prince's ......" Yuen Long seemed to believe Li Jing, and withdrew the long sword around Li Jing's neck as he spoke.

At the moment when Yuen Long withdrew his long sword, Li Jing jumped up, pulled the quilt on the bed with his hand, covered Yuen Long's body, and then flew up with a kick, kicking Yuen Long and the people to the ground, and then pounced on him to subdue him.

Although Yuen Long was carelessly attacked by Li Jing and took off his long sword, he leaned on the ground with his back when he fell to the ground, and put on a "hare fighting goshawk" move, his legs were rolled up, and his toes were tight, only aiming at Li Jing's chest.

Li Jing's feet were already off the ground, and he suddenly found that Yuen Long was lying on the ground, and used the trick of "hare fighting goshawk", which made him anxious to perform the light skill of "Ling Bo Three Verticals", flew forward a foot away in the air, and fell behind Yuen Long, not giving the opponent a chance to breathe, and then retreated and turned around, rode on Yuen Long, stretched out his hands, and choked his throat fatally.

Yuen Long was pinched by Li Jing so that Venus was in front of him, where was there any strength to fight back, so he had to be captured, and under the escort of Li Jing and four guards of the Jin Palace, he returned to the Jin Palace's Mansion before dawn to see Yang Guang.

Yang Guang was woken up from the bed, and when he learned that Li Jing had captured Yuen Long so quickly, he immediately ordered someone to bring the portrait of the man in white painted by Yang Xuangan, rushed to compare it with Yuen Long, and said to Li Jing with a smile: "Don't say it, the painting is really similar." ”

"Lord Wang, when the last general entered Yuen Long's house this morning to arrest him, he was mistaken for the guards of the East Palace sent by the prince to kill him. Li Jing did not show a smile on his face, and said with a straight face.
