Chapter 244 White Jade Seal
Li Yan's stern shout immediately woke Yang Lie up. However, after hearing the content of Li Yan's question, an extremely complicated look flashed on his face. He instinctively wanted to answer, but reason made him grit his teeth tightly.
The reason why Li Yan used the Four Guards to command the other party was because he knew that since his cheap grandfather died, the Four Guards had set the rules of recognizing the verbs and not recognizing others. As long as the descendants of the Yang royal family held the Four Guards Rings, they would have absolute power to order them to do anything! And he happened to have half of the Yang bloodline flowing on his body. Although he was a grandson, his blood relationship was very close, so he could barely use the Four Guards Rings.
But what Li Yan didn't expect was that after hearing his words, Yang Lie's expression changed for a while, but finally gritted his teeth and said, "Your Highness, as a member of the Four Guards, you cannot refuse any of your requests, but the identity of the master is of great importance. Even within us, only a few people know it, so please forgive me for not being able to answer this question!"
When Li Yan heard that the other party refused to answer, he was angry, but he was even more curious about the identity of the person behind Yang Lie. In order to keep it a secret, the other party dared to disobey the orders of the Four Guards. It seemed that this person's identity could no longer be described as "mysterious". It could be said that it was horrifying.
However, Li Yan was not the one who gave up easily. He stared at Yang Lie with a calm face and said sternly again: "Yang Lie, have you forgotten the oath made by the four guards? I will ask you again, who is that person?"
Faced with Li Yan's questioning, Yang Lie's face was even more struggling, but in the end, he suddenly looked certain. His right hand suddenly raised his throat and said to Li Yan with a calm face: "Your Highness, even if Yang Lie dies, he will never forget the oath he made. He will never dare to violate the orders of the master of the Four Guards in this life. However, without the master's permission, Yang Lie would never dare to spread his identity, so he only dies to thank the world!"
Yang Lie is a killer, and there is nothing on his body that is not a weapon for killing. As long as he uses his fingers to force himself, he can definitely break his throat. After he finished speaking, he immediately prepared to use his own self-destruction in front of Li Yan. After all, the orders on both sides cannot be violated, so he can only die.
Seeing this situation, the two young people on both sides exclaimed loudly. Li Yan did not expect that Yang Lie was so strong as his name, and even if he committed suicide, he would not be willing to reveal the name of the master behind him. This made him secretly admire him.
But now is not the time to be stunned. Just as Yang Lie finished speaking, he tightened his fingers resolutely and wanted to end himself, Li Yan, the closest to him, rushed forward two steps, reached into the iron fence, then grabbed the other party's hand, and shouted, "Stop!"
Li Yan took a great risk when doing this. After all, there was a top killer in the prison. Now there was only an iron fence between the two. As long as the other party was willing, he could almost take his life with his hands raised. The guards of the Qi Prince's Mansion behind were also shocked by Li Yan's actions. They had just withdrawn for a while, but they didn't hear Li Yan and Yang Lie clearly, so they didn't know the complicated relationship between the two. At this time, seeing that Li Yan was so close to the other party, it was too late to go forward to guard against him. Fortunately, Xi Junbui reacted quickly and immediately opened his bow and aimed at Yang Lie. As long as the other party had abnormal movements, he would be pierced by an arrow!
Fortunately, Yang Lie heard Li Yan's call to stop, and his wrist was pulled again. He was afraid that Li Yan would hurt him, so he did not dare to put his hand down obediently. At this time, Li Yan also noticed the reactions of Xi Junmai and others behind him. He was afraid of causing a misunderstanding, so he hurriedly took a few steps. It was not until this time that Xi Junmai put down the bow and arrow.
"Yang Lie, I won't ask you anymore. You don't have to show your ambitions to avoid letting me bear an unkind reputation!" Li Yan said angrily. It's one thing to admire the other's integrity, and it's another thing to be angry. After all, the other party's mysterious master still knows nothing, which makes Li Yan feel like he is being played with and applauded.
Since he couldn't ask anything, Li Yan was lazy and was about to leave. He was about to leave, but he was stopped by Yang Lie. Then the other party began to ask why the Four Guards were in his hands, and also asked about the current situation of the Four Guards.
Li Yan did not hide any of these. After all, Yang Lie was also a member of the Four Guards, so he told the story of getting the Four Guards from Empress Xiao, and at the same time told the other party that the King of Hell and the God of Wealth are under his command. Although most of the four guards were dispersed back then, the Finance Guards, the Spies Guards, and the Dirty Guards were reorganized, and the only thing they were missing was the Jing Guards.
When Li Yan said this, he glanced at Yang Lie, and found that the other person's face had a complicated look. Most of them were happy for the rebirth of the four guards, but he was also worried about the future of his clean guards. After all, he could also hear the intention of recruiting in Li Yan's words, but he had a loyal partner now, so it was really hard to vote for others.
Seeing the other party's entangled look, Li Yan nodded secretly. Not to mention Yang Lie's talent, his character is already very rare. After all, three of the four guards have surrendered, and only one of them is the pure guard. Li Yan holds his own guard ring. If he swore allegiance now, it would be the best time, and others would not say anything, but the owner behind the other party's concerns did not make any statement to Li Yan.
After talking about the four guards, Li Yan left. As for Yang Lie and the other two, they had to stay in the cell for a while until they figured out the true identity of the person behind them, and then understood their intentions before talking. In addition, Yang Lie also said that he would go to Tainan very willingly, which made Li Yan very curious about what method the other party would use to make him go where he went?
Li Yan quickly knew about this question, because the people sent by Lu Qing came back. As Yang Lie said, the other party was unwilling to come at all. Even when he knew that Li Ke was also with Li Yan, he actually asked the two brothers to go to Tainan together.
This made Li Yan so angry that he was about to lose his temper, but he didn't expect that the person who came back actually presented something again, saying that the other party asked him to give it to him. As a result, when Li Yan saw it, his face immediately changed slightly and hurriedly found his third brother Li Ke to discuss.
"Brother Third, do you think this thing is real?" Li Yan crawled on the table, staring at the thing in front of him, and asked in a daze while staring at the thing in front of him.
"It's hard to say. It seems to be a royal object, but I have never seen it before. It would be great if my mother or grandmother were here. They would definitely be able to tell the truth at a glance!" Li Ke also looked up and down at the table and replied with some uncertainty.
On the table in front of them, there was a white jade seal the size of a fist, and at the bottom of the seal, the eight small characters "Kaihuang carries, Daye is the first to be completed". Kaihuang is the year name of Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian, and Daye is the year name of Yang Guang. The seal is actually engraved with these two sentences, which is of course of great significance. In addition, the upper part of the seal is actually carved into a dragon shape, which is a symbol that the royal family can only use. Therefore, this seal should have been used by the royal family before, but Li Ke and Li Yan have no vision and cannot tell the authenticity of this thing at all.
"Sixth brother, why don't I call Wang Fu here. We will count him here for the richest experience and have served as an official in the former Sui Dynasty. We should recognize the authenticity of this thing." Li Yan thought about it and suggested. Although he didn't want too many people to know about this, in this case, only Wang An can help them. Moreover, as Li Yan's absolute confidant, Wang An is also one of the people he trusts the most, and knowing that there will be no major problems with the matter between him and the former Sui Dynasty.
"This..." Li Ke thought about it after hearing this, and finally nodded and said, "Okay, Mr. Wang is not an outsider, so it's nothing to let him know about it."
Seeing Li Ke agreeing, Li Yan immediately sent someone to invite Wang An. After Wang An came, he was very surprised to see the jade seal on the table. After listening to Li Yan's introduction to the origin of the jade seal, he immediately took the seal in his hand and looked at it carefully. After a while, he carefully put the seal back to its original place.
"Report to the two of your highnesses, is this seal owned by the former Sui royal family? I dare not make a very sure thing, but looking at the texture of this jade reminds me of an old thing." Wang An said, holding his beard.
"What's the old thing?" Li Yan and Li Ke asked almost at the same time.
"Haha, it's nothing. It's just that when the grandfathers of the two high-ranking grandfathers first ascended the throne, someone from the Western Regions presented a treasure. It is said to be a piece of beautiful jade half a person tall. This jade is not only of amazing weight, but also of unprecedented quality. Therefore, Emperor Yang loved it very much when he saw it. Unfortunately, the palace fire broke in the palace and the jade was accidentally broken during the rescue. Many people lost their lives. However, killing many people was useless. In the end, Emperor Yang still asked someone to make the broken jade into various jade artifacts. Not only did he use it himself, but he also rewarded some of them to the princes and ministers at that time. When I was studying in Chang'an, I saw a jade ring with the texture exactly the same as this seal. Therefore, if nothing unexpected happens, this seal should be real!" Wang An said with emotion.
When Yang Guang first ascended the throne, he was so energetic. Unfortunately, in just a few decades, a vibrant Sui Dynasty became in chaos in the world, and countless people were destroyed in the war. Therefore, no matter how future generations evaluate Yang Guang, from this point of view, Yang deserves to lose his own country.
