Pan Dan lowered his head and thought about it, and said, "Then please ask the prince to go back to Yanpo with the poor road first." ”

Yang Guang nodded in agreement, and then followed Pan Dan to the northeast.

Pei Yun was worried that Pan Dan would take advantage of the convenience of being familiar with the terrain in the mountains to escape again, so he secretly ordered Guo Yan to follow closely behind Pan Dan.

Yang Guang turned over and dismounted, handed over the reins to Guo Yan, and walked side by side with Pan Dan on foot, starting a family routine with him.

"The Taoist just claimed to be from the Middle-earth clan, I don't know where he came from?"

Pan Dan hesitated for a moment and replied: "It's at the foot of Tiantai Mountain in eastern Zhejiang." Poor Dao has been a monk since he was a child, and he has been away from his hometown for nearly 30 years. ”

"So, this time, the Taoist was entrusted by Gao Yuan to return to Jiangnan, didn't he return to Tiantai Mountain?"

"I don't have any relatives at home, so I don't want to go."

"As far as this king knows, it has been less than half a year since Gao Yuan succeeded Goguryeo, and when the Taoist chief came to this Yandang Mountain, it should be in spring at the earliest, so how do you know that the wild geese coming from the south will come to the Yanpo to settle down and perch?"

Pan Dan turned his head to stare at Yang Guang, and for the first time since he was caught, he showed a smile on his face, and replied: "When Poor Dao first arrived at Huiyanpo, he found that there was a lot of feces left by the geese on and down the slope, so I guessed that most of the geese from the south settled in Huiyanpo. ”

Yang Guang chatted with Pan Dan like this, crossed the Yanyi Ridge, walked about ten miles, and came to the foot of the Huiyan Slope.

Sure enough, one or two chirping of geese came from time to time on the slope of the wild goose, although Yang Guang and others could not see the geese standing at the bottom of the slope, but with this sound of geese, they could also feel that there were indeed geese coming south to spend the winter.

Yang Guang didn't want to alarm the flock of geese coming from the south, so he didn't rush to climb back to the Yanpo slope, but stood at the bottom of the slope, looked around at the surrounding scene, and said to Pei Yun with emotion: "Although Gu Zi'er didn't explain it very clearly, it must have been the season when Chen Shubao and Gu Pan'er traveled to Yandang Mountain together, it was also the season for the geese to fly south, otherwise how could he think of giving the name 'Goose's Nest' to the secret spy agency that was about to be created?" ”

Pei Yun glanced at Pan Dan, who was standing beside Yang Guang, and said: "Yes, Chen Shubao probably wants to use the name 'Wild Goose' to convey such a meaning to the fine craftsmen who are about to be sent to Jiangbei and the two dynasties for a long time: If it is difficult to resist the severe cold, you can return to the warm Jiangnan at any time." ”

Yang Guang nodded, and sighed: "Gao Qinglian and Gu Pan'er are the dearest and beloved people around Chen Shubao, and they have not lived up to Chen Shubao's expectations: Gao Qinglian sneaked back to Jiangnan from distant Liaodong when Nan Chen was about to fall, intending to restore, although he ended up in defeat and suicide, but for Nan Chen, he also deserves the word loyalty; Although Gu Pan'er is a woman, she dared to stand up when the 'Wild Goose's Nest' was about to be detected, and exchanged 5,000 companion heads for the court's trust in her. Chong Zhi, if the imperial court captures Gao Qinglian and Gu Pan'er alive, what do you think should be done with these two? ”

Pei Yun had already guessed that Yang Guang asked Pan Danchong to be a guide and travel to the mountains together, in order to take the opportunity to persuade him to confess, at this time, he heard that Yang Guang gave such a high evaluation to the two leaders of the "Wild Goose's Nest" - Gao Qinglian and Gu Paner, and specifically asked his opinion on the disposal of these two people, which confirmed the previous suspicion, so he replied according to Yang Guang's meaning: "The imperial court treats Chen Shubao as a duke and gives him a mansion, not to mention Gao Qinglian and Gu Paner?" According to the opinion of the lower officials, the most suitable place to place these two people is this Yandang Mountain, and two temples can be built for the two of them in this mountain, so that the two of them can savor their unusual lives in the sound of morning bells and dusk drums, isn't it also considered to be a complete merit? ”

Seeing that Yang Guang smiled and was silent, only listening to the sound of geese singing from Huiyanpo, Pei Yun glanced at Pan Dan and added: "In fact, there are ready-made examples, Yan Shisan is not only Gao Yuan's brother-in-law, but also escorted Gao Qinglian back to Jiangnan on the order of Gao Tang to make trouble, his identity is similar to Gao and Gu, not to mention, he himself also confessed to the fact that he had shot the old saint Jiao Er, in this case, the saint can still be merciful and let him go back to Goguryeo, and when dealing with Gao Qinglian and Gu Paner, who have been ruined and destroyed, they should also be open, Forgive them both. ”

"Alas, the Si people have passed away, and today we will go back to Yanpo for a visit, which can be regarded as a tribute to Gao Qinglian and Gu Paner. It's just a pity that this beautiful Yandang Mountain was stained with blood because of Chen Shubao's thoughts. Yang Guang said, and was about to turn around and leave back to Yanpo.

"Slow down." When Yang Guang and Pei Yun were talking about the fate of the two big leaders of the "Wild Goose's Nest", Pan Dan had been listening attentively, and at this time, seeing that Yang Guang was noncommittal to Pei Yun's words, he turned around and was about to leave, so he couldn't help but stop Yang Guang and asked tentatively: "Has Yan Shisan really been put back in Goguryeo?" ”

"Don't hide it, the Jiao Er who died under Yan Thirteen's arrows mentioned by Fang Cai Chong is the person in the king's mansion, this king sent someone to escort Yan Thirteen back to Beijing, and originally planned to hand it over to his father to ask for guilt and behead, and when he heard the news that his father released Yan Thirteen back to Goguryeo, this king also felt very surprised, but after thinking about this matter, Yan Thirteen shot Jiao Er, who was tracking Gao Qinglian, was also for the life of the loyal monarch, which seemed to be forgivable, and in order to kill Yan Thirteen to provoke the two countries to fight each other, there was also a suspicion of losing a big one because of a small loss, so I think about it, I also understood my father's good intentions. Yang Guang stopped, turned to look at Pan Dan, and carefully explained to him what happened before and after Yan Shisan.

"But...... Gao Yuan had greater ambitions than his father. Since the letter brought by the poor Dao has fallen into the hands of the prince, presumably the Great Sui will no longer tolerate Goguryeo. Pan Dan peeked at Yang Guang's face and continued to probe.

"What the Taoist chief wants to say, you might as well say it bluntly." Yang Guang heard Pan Dan mention the letter written by Gao Yuan to Gao Qinglian, straightened his face, and said to him, "Actually, even if the Taoist chief doesn't say it himself, this king can guess a little bit about the true identity of the Taoist chief: the Taoist must be someone Gao Yuan trusts very much, otherwise he wouldn't have brought such an important letter to the Taoist to Jiangnan, right?" ”

"Although Yan Shisan's deceased who shot the emperor of the Sui Dynasty was pardoned and released back to Goguryeo, if someone committed a greater mistake, he could still be pardoned...... As this Mr. Metropolitan Records Office just said, can he build a Taoist temple in this Yandang Mountain, refine the Dan and cultivate the Tao, and spend the rest of his life in peace? Pan Dan did not respond to Yang Guang's speculation, but almost made the words clear and asked Yang Guang.
