After the retreat from the dynasty, the East Palace.

Prince Xiang Baichuan had already set up the banquet and was just waiting for Gu Beichuan and Wei Qing to take their seats.

This time, it was still just the three of them.

In terms of identity, Xiang Baichuan is the prince of the dynasty, under one person, above ten thousand.

And what about Wei Qing? is also a Zaifu, the head of civil officials.

In terms of identity, I am afraid that only Emperor Renxuan can suppress the two of them.

However, the protagonist of today's banquet is only Gu Beichuan, who will be the master craftsman!

This official position is naturally good in the eyes of ordinary people, but in front of these two, it is really not enough.

To be able to make His Royal Highness the Crown Prince so courteous, it is really... The sun came out in the west.

But that's the way it is!

The prince personally poured the wine, handed it to Gu Beichuan, and said, "This time, thanks to Gu Qing, otherwise, it will be difficult for this palace to get out." ”

"Your Highness has praised falsely, since ancient times, it is a matter of duty for ministers to worry about the king."

When the prince heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and his eyebrows were overjoyed.

What do you mean?

This monarch and ministers can't talk nonsense, Gu Beichuan is showing loyalty!

How could he not be happy to have such a great help.

"On the way back this time, I expected that King Yuan would probably send someone over, even if it wasn't for the sake of killing, it would be able to delay a little time."

"Therefore, I took a detour and entered the Qiandu from the Suzaku Gate in the north, which delayed for a while, but it almost affected His Royal Highness the Prince."

"What did Gu Qing say, this time, if you hadn't gone to Jiuyuan, I was afraid that I would have been toyed with by King Yuan."

"Sending recruits to intercept and kill halfway and train elite troops privately, my imperial brother is really bold." Xiang Baichuan snorted coldly, his eyes full of coldness.

In the matter of seizing the heir, he has always been a wise pearl and has a city in his chest.

This time, it was entirely because he didn't expect King Yuan to dare to be so bold, so he lost the opportunity, and then he was constrained everywhere.

Fortunately, there is Gu Beichuan!

This is the heartfelt thought of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at this moment.

"Those captured sergeants, can you help us testify and identify King Yuan?"

"Once the charge of ambushing and killing his colleagues is confirmed, no matter how much his father favors him, it will never be tolerated."

When Gu Beichuan heard this, he shook his head and said, "It's difficult, or it's some little pawns who don't know anything." Either keep your mouth shut and don't recruit anything. ”

"Obviously, King Yuan has taken corresponding precautions before."

When Wei Qing heard this, he smiled slightly.

"You guys, you can't just use force when interrogating prisoners, sometimes, it's a good way to know and reason, and move to emotion."

"I'll do it."

"Just wait for three days and wait for the results."

When the prince and Gu Beichuan heard this, they glanced at each other, and they both saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

Even torture may not be able to force things to ask, can it be useful to know it with reason and emotion?

Both are skeptical.

even felt that Wei Xiang was only a literati after all, which was quite a bit taken for granted.

……

Three days later, the same place.

Behind Wei Qing stood a burly sergeant with gloomy eyes.

"He knew many matters related to King Yuan's training in Zhubei County, and he also happened to know that the leader had received an order from King Yuan this time, so he led his troops to Jiuyuan to ambush Beichuan."

Gu Beichuan and the crown prince glanced at each other, looking at each other dumbfounded.

"It's... Is this a question that is asked with reason and emotion? Gu Beichuan said that he didn't believe anything.

"This man's heart is full of flesh. If a person is not a sage, how can he be ruthless? ”

"was originally a great general with a great future, but now he has become a prisoner for no reason."

"How can there be such a truth in the world? In addition, he missed his parents, wife and children too much, so he agreed to cooperate with us. ”

When Gu Beichuan heard this, he finally understood.

After being imprisoned, people are at a loss in their hearts, and their longing for their family is getting worse day by day.

At this time, Wei Xiang told Yi Yi about the recent situation of his family, explained the injustices of his situation, and finally put the fault on King Yuan, and even hinted that as long as he made meritorious contributions, he had every hope of clearing his name.

At that time, will there be people who will not confess?

Readers, it's really dirty.

Ahh

Gu Beichuan's expression was a little unnatural, forgetting that he was also a scholar, and almost scolded himself.

"There is one condition, though."

Wei Qing spoke again, his expression serious.

The prince didn't take it seriously, and directly waved his hand and said, "What do you want?" Money beauty? Splendor? ”

"As long as you are willing to identify King Yuan for this palace in the Jinluan Palace, it will be fine."

When the sergeant heard this, he shook his head, and said angrily: "I only need my wife, mother-in-law, and baby." ”

The prince was stunned when he heard this, obviously he didn't expect such a request.

"What's so hard about that? After the deed is completed, how about this palace forgive your sins and let you go back to reunite with your family? ”

When Wei Qing heard this, he shook his head and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, it's not that simple. ”

"The families of these people are all gathered in one place, and they are guarded by the soldiers sent by King Yuan."

When Xiang Baichuan heard this, he realized the trickiness of the matter.

He was silent for a moment, but he still did not retreat, looked at the sergeant, and said solemnly: "Okay, as long as you come forward to identify King Yuan for this palace, this palace will definitely rescue your family members safely." ”

"Not only that, but this palace will also give you a sum of money, so that your family will fly away from now on, away from Qiandu."

When the sergeant heard this, he was stunned for a moment, as if he wanted to say something of thanks, but he didn't say anything about his ugliness after a long time.

It wasn't until Gu Beichuan said a sentence of His Royal Highness the Prince's benevolence and righteousness that he learned to be in a good way, and said a sentence of His Royal Highness the Prince's benevolence and righteousness.

……

Three days later, Qiannan, Jing'an Fang.

In a house, on top of the roof tiles, Gu Beichuan and a group of people were gathering their breath and prostrate waiting.

There were seven of them.

In addition to Gu Beichuan and Li Dongbi, there is also a sword-wielding man and a sword-wielding woman, who are said to be from the Sword Peak among the Three Peerless Peaks.

The other three are all Taoist priests, but they all have bright eyes and good momentum.

Obviously, the Taoist origin.

These people were all sent by Xiang Baichuan, intending to work with Gu Beichuan to rescue the sergeant's family.

Not far from them, a complex of buildings called Zhenghui Garden was the destination of their trip.

Although Zhenghui Garden is in Qiannan, the geographical location is good, extending in all directions, and there are many shops around, and the price of the house is not low.

It stands to reason that the people who live here are not high-ranking officials, but at least they are either rich or noble.

In fact, on the contrary, most of the people who live here are poor families, or the wives and daughters of some minor generals in the army.

Obviously, this was intentional on the part of King Yuan.

Gather the wives and daughters of the people under your command together for easy control.

It is exactly the same as Emperor Renxuan's idea of building Tianqian Garden, which is worthy of being father and son.

In Zhenghui Garden, every short distance, there are several strong aura, obviously the people sent by King Yuan to take care of Zhenghui Garden, and they are also the opponents of Gu Beichuan and others on this trip.
