Seeing that Zhuge Xiang's appearance was seven points similar to Zhang Zhongjian, Yang Guang's heart flashed, and he asked him with a sullen face: "Zhuge Xiang, since your people have handed you over, now, if you want to save the lives of you and your people, there is only one way to go, that is, to confess the main culprit of the assassination of this king, and make meritorious contributions." Tell me, why do you want to assassinate this king? ”

Zhuge Xiang glared at Yang Guang and said nothing.

Pei Yun had witnessed Yang Guang in a fit of rage, swinging his sword and killing two assassins, lest before Guo Yan returned to the city to ask for help, Zhuge Xiang would anger Yang Guang and want to punish the Zhuge clan, so he hurriedly stepped forward and asked Zhuge Xiang: "Bold fanatics, you must understand that the crime of assassinating His Royal Highness the King of Jin is complicity and rebellion, which is an unforgivable crime to destroy the nine clans." This official knows that your parents and brothers are in the crowd behind you, if you don't want to see them die with you, you should answer His Highness's words honestly as soon as possible, otherwise you will be a sinner of the Zhuge clan! ”

Zhuge Xiang seemed to be touched by Pei Yun's words, and subconsciously wanted to look back at his family members in the crowd behind him, but he held back, lowered his head and hesitated for a moment, and finally confessed: "One person does things and one person is responsible, and no one else is involved." I left Niu'er Village with these brothers three years ago, and the people of Niu'er Village don't know anything about today's assassination. If you want to get what you want from me, you must first promise not to implicate my people and fellow villagers. ”

Pei Yun took the opportunity to induce a confession: "You didn't hear what the prince had just said, as long as you confess to the master behind the scenes, and make meritorious contributions, even your capital crime can be pardoned by the prince, if you know each other, don't say it quickly!" ”

Yang Guang was amused by Zhuge Xiang's words, and asked with a smile: "You are a person who does things well and has no thought, since you don't want to implicate the clansmen, why did you choose to commit murder here?" Why did he take hostages and flee to Niuer Village instead of far? You're obviously bringing disaster to your people. ”

Zhuge Xiangli resigned, his red face turned purple, and he angrily defended: "I also received an order last night to order me to lead someone to ambush and assassinate here." I was dizzy and fled to Niuer Village by mistake, but I was twisted by the patriarch......"

"Who gave you the order last night?" Pei Yun ignored Zhuge Xiang's defense, stared at him and asked.

"It was an order sent by the master under the Majesty. Three years ago, I was forced to make a living, and led more than a dozen brothers in my clan to leave Niuer Village and live by hard work, and then I met the master, who not only accepted us as apprentices, taught kung fu, but also took care of food and housing, so I and my brothers were willing to do things for the master. ”

"Where is your master now, and what is his name?"

"I, I don't know his name or where he lives, but I know that he has a nickname in the rivers and lakes, called the bearded guest. For the past two years, we have lived on the Jiangxin Swallow Restaurant outside Jiankang City, and he will often come to teach us kung fu......"

Before Pei Yun could react, the bearded guest that Zhuge Xiang said was Zhang Zhongjian, and Yang Guang had already asked Zhuge Xiang: "This king will order someone to go to Yanzi to take people now, are you willing to lead the way?" ”

Zhuge Xiang's face was embarrassed, and he was still hesitating, Zhuge Ying next to him was anxious, raised his hand and gave him a slap, and scolded: "You foolish thing, the prince is showing you and our more than 200 people a way to live, don't you promise the prince soon?" ”

Zhuge Xiang received a slap in the face, turned to look at the clansmen who were looking at him behind him, sighed, and nodded in agreement.

"Chongzhi, I immediately ordered you to escort Zhuge Xiang to return to Jiankang immediately, and lead the men and horses to Yanziji to arrest Zhang Zhongjian and his comrades, there must be no mistake!" Yang Guang gave an order to Pei Yun.

"Won't the prince go back to the city together?" Pei Yun gave up his hand, considering that Yang Guang did not have many people, and he was afraid of accidents, so he asked more.

"I'm going to visit the princess and the horse in Niu'er Village, and I'm waiting for your good news there." Yang Guang said, turned over and got off the horse.

Liang Mo was also relieved that Yang Guang would go to Niuer Village again, so he hurriedly dismounted, and reminded Yang Guang in his ear: "Lord Wang, it's better to wait for a while, when Guo Yan leads a large team of people to arrive, go to Niuer Village first to find out the truth and find out the truth, and it is not too late for the Lord to enter the village again." ”

Yang Guanghun didn't care, and only asked Xu Deyan and Zhuge Ying: "Why, don't you welcome me as an uninvited guest?" ”

"Where, where, lord, please." Zhuge Ying was very surprised that Yang Guang was still going to visit Chen Changle and his wife in the village at this time, and hurriedly bowed to give way.

Pei Yun and Liang Mo couldn't dissuade Yang Guang, so they had to follow behind Yang Guang step by step, Yang Guang turned his head and found that Pei Yun was also following, and ordered with a straight face: "Why don't you go and get someone quickly?" ”

"Lord Wang......" Pei Yun still refused to leave.

At this time, Xu Deyan came over and persuaded Pei Yun: "Pei Zhige rest assured, I am willing to use my life to ensure that the prince is safe and sound in Niuer Village." ”

Pei Yun once served as an official with Xu Deyan in the same dynasty in the Southern Chen Dynasty, and knew that this Nanchen attached to the horse was quite gentlemanly, so he arched his hand and said: "In this way, the safety of the prince will be in danger of Lao Xugong." Chong Liang made a silent look, signaled him to personally escort Yang Guang, and then led several sergeants to escort Zhuge Xiang back to Jiankang.

Fortunately, Pei Yun walked not far away, and met Guo Yan leading a whole two battalions of hussar battalion sergeants to rush to reinforcements, Pei Yun saw that the reinforcements had arrived, and a hanging heart was put down, and after explaining to Guo Yan to go to Niuer Village to protect Yang Guang, he escorted Zhuge Xiang to hurry to arrest Zhang Zhongjian.

Here, Yang Guang was escorted by Liang Mo step by step, and went to Niuer Village side by side with Xu Deyan and Zhuge Ying.

Zhuge Ying took the initiative to explain to Yang Guang: "I originally invited Xu Gong and his wife to live in Niuer Village, but I didn't want to almost involve Xu Gong in today's disaster. ”

Yang Guang said with a smile: "If I can't trust the two gentlemen, I won't enter Niuer Village again today." Mr. Zhuge please rest assured. May I ask Mr. Zhuge , but is he the descendant of Zhuge Wuhou during the Three Kingdoms? ”

"It's a shame to say that Zhuge Kongming is the ancestor below. The descendants of Zhuge in the next branch originally settled in Nanyang, but because of the war between the north and the south for many years, they were forced to leave their hometowns and live here. ”

"Since Mr. Zhuge is acquainted with Xu Fuma, he must also be an official in Nanchen?"

"Brother Ying is indifferent to fame and fortune, and he is a moral friend with him." Xu Deyan replied on behalf of Zhuge Ying.

"Lord, you see, the three huts at the entrance of the village are the hermitage of the princess and the attached horse." Zhuge Ying didn't seem to want to talk about herself more, so she pointed forward with her hand and said to Yang Guang.
