When Li Jing said goodbye to his parents the next day and followed Changsun Sheng from Chang'an, he found that he was not the only one who needed to prove his innocence, but also Yang Xuangan, the eldest son of Shangshu's right servant and Yang Su, the Duke of Yueguo.

Along the way, Li Jingjing inquired with Yang Xuangan and found out that he was also detained as Liu Jushi's old friend.

Yang Xuangan's identity is very different from Li Jing: although Li Jing is a person next to Yang Guang, the king of Jin, after all, he has not followed Yang Guang for a long time, and his father Li Quan is a county prince who lives at home, while Yang Xuangan's father Yang Su is the right servant of Shangshu who holds real power in the court, and his mother Zheng Qiye was born in Xingyang Zheng, one of the "five high gates" in the world, and is the best friend of Queen Dugu Jialuo. Yang Su, who received the report from his family, was both surprised and vigilant.

Not long ago, Yang Sucai agreed to come to lobby his brother Yang Yue, claiming that he was willing to help Yang Guang, the king of Jin, enter the East Palace, and now the crown prince Yang Yong ordered someone to break into his home in the name of arresting Liu Jushi's comrades, and arrested his eldest son Yang Xuangan.

Yang Su, who has always been resourceful, fell into hesitation after being severely warned by the crown prince Yang Yong, and was not sure of his mind for a while, whether he should take the initiative to find the prince Yang Yong, eliminate the misunderstanding, and rescue the eldest son.

When Yang Sushang was frightened, his wife Zheng Qiye was already eager to save her son, and ran to Zhengyang Palace to plead with Queen Dugu Jialuo.

Dugu Jialuo listened to his best friend's explanation, his heart flashed, and he smiled and comforted Zheng Qiye: "The prince is acting on the orders of this palace, but he first brought back the children of the eunuchs and the sons of the family who had dealings with Liu Jushi back for questioning, you don't have to worry too much, after some time, I will find out that Xuan Gan did not participate in the rebellion against the imperial court, and he will naturally let him go home." ”

"Niangniang, you also know that this child has been confused since he was a child, stupid and stupid, if he said the wrong thing in Dali Temple, how could this be born!" Zheng Qiye asked Dugu Jialuo with an anxious expression, "Besides, how long will this keep him locked up before he can find out the facts of the case and let him go home?" ”

"Sister, it's a matter of rebellion, and it's inconvenient for the palace to intervene too much, so I directly ordered the prince to let Xuan Gan go. If you can't rest assured, there is a way in this palace, which can not only save Xuan Gan from the pain of prison, but also provide him with a meritorious service for the imperial court, in exchange for a meritorious name, that is, ......" Dugu Jialuo looked at Zheng Qiye's face and said.

"The concubine on behalf of the Xuangan child bowed to the great kindness of the mother, as long as it is the way pointed by the mother, the concubines will obey their orders." Zheng Qiye got up in surprise and saluted Dugu Jialuo.

"Actually, there is not much risk, this palace just wants to ask Xuan Gan to follow Changsun Sheng to the Turkic Tent, if Changsun Sheng can kill Liu Jushi here, then Xuan Gan can prove his innocence? Sister, please rest assured, this palace will take care of Changsun Sheng, take care of Xuangan, and will not ask him to kill, just accompany him. Dugu Jialuo owes himself, asks Zheng Qiye to take a seat, and says.

"How far are you going? Niangniang, in addition...... "Zheng Qiye is really reluctant to let his son go away.

"In addition, only the grievances and Xuangan have lived in Dali Temple for a while. Of course, this palace looks at the love of her sister, and she will ask people to take care of Xuangan. Dugu Jialuo said lightly.

"That's right...... Then, it's better to ask Xuan to take a trip outside the gate, maybe it will be a blessing in disguise, as the mother said, you can win a fame and come back. Zheng Qiye had no choice but to agree to ask his son to accompany the eldest Sun Sheng to the Turks.

In addition to Yang Xuangan, Li Jing also found that there were two pack carts with him, and I don't know who was sitting in the pack carts.

It wasn't until he followed Changsun Sheng and his entourage to the boundary of Puzhou, taking advantage of the convenience of the people sitting in the pack cart to get out of the car, that Li Jing saw that there were four young and beautiful women sitting on the pack cart in front, and it was Yan Shisan who was escorted off the pack cart by two sergeants.

This surprised Li Jing, and after setting off again, he found an opportunity to approach Changsun Sheng, and asked him puzzledly: "General, this Yan Thirteen is a bandit with the blood of the official army on his hands, can the Holy Lord forgive him like this?" ”

"I heard, it was Yan Thirteen that you caught?" Changsun Sheng turned his head and saw that it was Li Jing, and asked him with a smile.

"Although he was not caught by the juniors, the juniors witnessed him shoot and kill the sergeant who followed the juniors into Yandang Mountain to spy on banditry, and he also confessed that Jiao Er, who had followed the saint to fight on the battlefield in his early years, also died under his arrows." Li Jing introduced Yan Shisan's charges to Changsun Sheng.

"Come, I'll introduce you." Changsun Sheng said, turned the horse's head, and took Li Jing to the pannier carrying Yan Shisan, pointing to a young official who was riding a horse beside the pannier and introduced to Li Jing, "This is Feng Lun, the head of the Ministry of Rites, who was ordered to envoy Goguryeo, because he first went to Bingzhou to see Gao Servant shooting, so he walked with us. ”

Feng Lun glanced at Li Jing and was about to ask about his identity, when Changsun Sheng introduced him with a smile: "Director Feng, you must have heard of him, his name is Li Jing, and he is the current ......" said, looking at Li Jing, hoping that he would declare his title.

At this time, Li Jing realized that the imperial court had not removed him from his official position, and hurriedly clasped his fists and said: "The last general, Li Jing, is now on an errand in Guangling with the King of Jin with the title of chief of the inner hall. May I ask Director Feng, where is this going to escort Yan Shisan? ”

"You are Li Jing? Sure enough, he is a young man! Feng Lun had obviously heard of Li Jing's name, looked him up and down with a surprised gaze, and praised, "Since you are the attaché of General Changsun, I don't need to hide it from you: the Holy Lord has decided to let Yan 13 return to Goguryeo." ”

"Chief, why is this?"

"Li Jing, do you know that the new King of Goguryeo, Gao Yuan, intends to join forces with Dulan Khan to attack Sui, and the Holy Lord ordered me to send an envoy to Goguryeo and let Yan 13 return to China, in order to appease Gao Yuan and dissuade him from joining forces with the Turks to attack." Feng Lun explained to Li Jing as he rode his horse.

"However, wasn't Goguryeo a small vassal state of the Great Sui? Yan 13 is a conclusive rebel, why should the imperial court be afraid of making enemies with Goguryeo and let Yan 13 return to China? ”

Feng Lun smiled and didn't answer, pointed to Changsun Sheng and said to Li Jing: "All this is from General Changsun's strategy, you better ask him directly." ”

Changsun Sheng refused to explain to Li Jing what kind of strategy he used this time, and only compared him and said: "I heard that you not only have excellent kung fu, but also excellent wisdom, you might as well follow me to the outside of the gate and see if you can guess what kind of strategy this is?" ”
