After I traveled through the book, I was spoiled by five little villains

Hu Yanjin rubbed his head and felt that this child was really good at talking.

Who said the Third Young Master is cold and difficult to approach?

In his opinion, it is obviously the best doll!

He couldn't think of what to say, so he simply waved his hand, patted his chest and said, "If you have any difficulties in the future, just come to me, Hu Yanjin. Although I am not talented, I have some connections in Beijing."

As soon as he said this, he felt a little annoyed.

Hu Yanjin slapped his forehead and said, "Third Young Master, I am just saying this, don't take it to heart. With Her Royal Highness the Princess and the Prince, why do you need me..."

Before he could finish his words, Yan Shiyan interrupted him with sincere thanks.

"General Huyan, I am still young, and I am grateful to my parents and elders for taking care of me."

He smiled lightly, his eyes moving like stars in the night: "I can't always bother my mother with everything."

Yan Shiyan’s meaning was very simple. Putting aside the noble status of his parents, they had more important things to worry about. How could they always spend their energy on one child?

"That is, that is."

Hu Yanjin scratched his nose innocently: "Third Master is right, if you have any problem, just come to me."

After a conversation, he found Yan Shiyan more pleasing to his eyes.

As they were talking, the two of them had already walked outside the meeting hall of the general's mansion.

The room was brightly lit.

Yan Changqing, his entire staff team, and the main generals and officials of Yumen Pass were all inside to discuss matters.

"General Huyan and the Third Young Master request to see you." The guards standing at the door shouted.

Yan Changqing put down the document in his hand, looked up and said, "Let them in."

The Yumen Pass guard who was sitting below him looked tense and looked towards the door.

Hu Yanjin's iron tower-like figure appeared at the door, making Yan Shiyan beside him look as graceful as jade.

"Father."

Yan Shiyan cupped his hands and presented several signed papers: "The prisoner has confessed."

Feeling the guard's gaze, he added: "He did the wrong thing because his family was coerced. His son talked to him and he has come to his senses and regretted his actions."

Sure enough, although the defending general was deeply saddened by the deputy general's behavior, he still had feelings for him and was reluctant to let him suffer the torture.

The time he spent was worth it.

The guard breathed a sigh of relief, stepped forward to take the paper and handed it to Yan Changqing.

Yan Changqing read it quickly and handed it to the guard.

The deputy general betrayed the country because Prince Ruyang had taken control of his fiancée's family.

Prince Ruyang threatened him that no matter what means he must use, he must keep the Princess and Yan Changqing in Hexi and not let them return to the capital.

Otherwise, her entire family would be killed and she would be sold to a brothel.

The deputy general had no choice but to do as he was told.

As a general in the army, he had certainly heard of Yan Changqing's reputation and knew that he was a martial arts expert with the courage to fight against thousands of men.

Just as he was hesitating, he heard the news that Yan Changqing was poisoned. He also learned that they would only stay in Yumen Pass for one or two days, so he decided to set up a trap at the welcoming banquet.

The deputy general was right.

While they had just returned from Juyan City and their tense spirits had finally relaxed, he struck a fatal blow.

Unfortunately, he didn't expect that this was a trap set by Yan Changqing, putting out the bait and waiting for people to take the bait.

What he didn't expect was that the trap he set up was broken without Yan Changqing having to take any action.

Until he was imprisoned in the dungeon, he still couldn't figure out why the crossbowmen hadn't shown up.

Also, what about the assassin sent by Prince Ruyang?

Isn't it said that they are all highly skilled in martial arts and can climb walls and fly over rooftops with ease?

Wasn't it agreed that as long as he created chaos, they could take advantage of the chaos to seize the princess's head?

He didn't expect to save Yan Changqing's life, even though he was poisoned.

But as long as something happens to the eldest princess, Yan Changqing will be half useless. At the very least, he must stay to take care of the funeral.

This time difference is exactly what Prince Ruyang wants.

The deputy general was unwilling to explain, not because he wanted to save his life.

His guilt is undeniable and cannot be defended.

Not to mention anything else, the attempted assassination of the eldest princess alone is enough to punish him by beheading.

He just wanted to save his fiancée.

But Yan Shiyan analyzed the situation for him: Your conspiracy has been exposed, and the Princess and the Prince will return to Beijing as planned.

As long as Prince Ruyang gets the news, your fiancée's family will be in danger.

You might as well confess immediately, no matter how much you confess. The princess will rescue your fiancée in consideration of your meritorious service in redeeming yourself from the crime.

Since Prince Ruyang has started a rebellion, conquering cities and seizing territories are the most important things. How can he have the time to deal with the fiancée of a man who has failed in his mission?

If there were any, he would only be able to settle the accounts after he successfully usurped the throne.

"So, your interests now coincide with ours. We cannot let Prince Ruyang succeed in his rebellion."

Yan Shiyan's final conclusion successfully reversed the deputy general's position.

He was going to die anyway, and being able to die quickly was a blessing from his good deeds in his previous life, but his fiancée still had a glimmer of hope.

After being coerced by Prince Ruyang, he inquired about the eldest princess's reputation for peace of mind.

I originally thought that a princess born in a royal family would be arrogant and domineering, and would take human life lightly.

In this way, he didn't feel any guilt in dealing with it.

But the information he got was completely the opposite. Princess Leyang was kind and generous. She repaired bridges and roads, adopted orphans, and even donated the paper and pens in the Yumen Pass School for free.

Among the people, many spontaneously set up a long-term tablet for her.

He was willing to kill such a person in order to protect his fiancée.

He had struggles and entanglements in his heart.

This dilemma became the last straw that broke the camel's back when he was interrogated by Yan Shiyan.

This was also the real reason why he was willing to confess.

He believed that if his fiancée was still alive, the princess would be able to rescue her for him.

He placed all his hopes on the eldest princess.

After reading the confession, I understood the cause and effect of all this.

The guard's hands trembled as he held the petition, tears streaming down his face: "He is so confused! He is so confused!"

It was such a big matter, but she didn't even discuss it with him and just decided it on her own.

Yan Changqing tried to comfort him: "He doesn't want to implicate you."

The matter involved a capital crime. If he told the guard who treated him as his own son, one more person would be implicated.

Faced with a difficult decision, the deputy general still had affection in his heart.

"Ugh!"

The commander sighed heavily, slumped down in his chair, covered his face with the confession, and felt uncomfortable in his heart.

At this moment, he hated King Ruyang who played with people's hearts.

Yan Changqing understood his feelings and asked him to calm down for a while while he lowered his head to read the list attached to the confession.

It is gratifying that among those who cooperated in this assassination attempt, there were no soldiers from Yumen Pass involved.

The assassin hiding in the courtyard was sent by Prince Ruyang to contact the deputy general.

The swordsmen and axemen who were lying in ambush were horse thieves hired by the deputy general. They worked for money and had no stance.

The archers belong to the King of Ruyang.

Crossbows and arrows are forbidden items that cannot be found among the people.

From this point of view, the deputy general really did not want to implicate anyone in Yumen Pass, and he really had a sense of brotherhood.
