Wang Mang and Wang Jingyan talked privately in the room for a while, and Wang Jingyan didn't blame Wang Mang too much. seems to be submissive, and it seems to be extremely affectionate, and can tolerate any fault.

Time flickered by, and at this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Wang Jingyan stood up, brushed her loose hair, and opened the door.

At first glance, it turned out to be Zhang Gen and Li Sheng.

The two nodded at Wang Jingyan, and then came to Wang Mang, knelt down and clenched their fists and said, "Lord Wang, my family is invited." ”

Wang Mang knew this in his heart, nodded and said, "You can wait downstairs for a while, and I'll come later." ”

"Yes, Lord Wang!"

The two got up and exited the door and went downstairs.

Wang Mang and Wang Jingyan cleaned up, and then came to the room of Yuan Qing and Xiang Wei.

The two of them had already been prepared in the room, wearing a treasure knife at their waists, and their fighting spirit was high. Now seeing Wang Mang's arrival, he was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Young Master Wang, now the two of us can finally have a good fight." ”

"Hehe, it's early. Today's morale is boosted, and tomorrow will go to compete with Li Zhong's army. Wang Mang replied with a smile, called the six little guys together, and went downstairs.

As for the shopkeeper who reported the news, he had already been secretly killed by Yuan Qing.

When they came to the door, Wang Mang and the ten people saw that there were many soldiers standing at the door of the inn, and there were hundreds of people.

Zhang Gen saw Wang Mang come out, and his face was overjoyed.

Wang Mang took Wang Jingyan and turned over on the horse, and went to the city lord's mansion with the army to perform martial arts.

After a while, the crowd arrived at their destination.

At this moment, the city lord Chen Chong sat on the throne, and there was a high platform below it, and more than a hundred bloody heads were placed on the high platform, both men and women, and most of them were men.

On the outermost city wall of the martial arts arena, there are many soldiers guarding the town, waving pennants, and beating drums to shake the sky.

In the martial arts arena, the surroundings were densely packed with people, and the number of people reached thousands.

These people all listened to Chen Chong's order and came to watch the ceremony.

Since Chen Chong seized the position of city lord, he opened the granary, distributed gold silk, and helped the people. Therefore, in just a few days, he established an image of a blue sky lord in the hearts of the people, and the people loved him and gathered together.

Yesterday, after Chen Chong took the head of the outlaw gang, he ordered people to pass the news from house to house.

When the people heard the situation, they clapped their hands and hurried together.

If it weren't for the fact that this martial arts arena couldn't accommodate more people, I'm afraid that the entire city of eighty or ninety thousand people would have rushed to watch the heads of these outlaw gangs.

After Wang Jingyan, Wang Mang and others arrived at the gate of the martial arts arena, thousands of people turned their eyes over, very surprised, and discussed.

Chen Chong saw Wang Mang's figure, stood up and waved his hand, and said loudly to everyone: "Everyone, be quiet, and be quiet. ”

His voice was very deep and spread almost throughout the martial arts arena.

And when the people heard the words, they all ceased to speak. When the soldiers who beat the drums saw the gesture, they all stopped.

Wang Mang and Wang Jingyan were not stage frightened, and strode to the high platform.

Chen Chong got up, moved the position of city lord out of the way, and let Wang Mang and Wang Jingyan sit down. He stood with his head bowed to the side, like a butler.

After sitting down, Chen Chong said in a loud voice: "Fathers and fellow villagers, I guess you don't know Lord Wang. Let me introduce you to you, he is Wang Mang, the lord of the Rongfu of the Wangjia Mansion in Qingzhou, who arrived in Yingchuan a few days ago.

The name Wang Mang may have been heard of by everyone. Because in a few months, many refugees received his support and went to Yuzhou to settle down. ”

"What? Is he Wang Mang? ”

When the people heard the words, they were amazed.

Wang Mang's name has gained great weight in the ears of the fleeing people, especially in the entire Zhuzhou region.

Since he left Qingzhou, he has been distributing silver taels for several months to help the people. So that many people are grateful to Dade, and they all praise the holy name of virtue.

Most of the people present had never seen Wang Mang, but most of them had heard of it.

Now that everyone heard Chen Chong's introduction of his identity, they couldn't help but be in awe and discussed.

The rich and noble people in the world don't know how much, but from ancient times to the present, how many people are willing to give money to help the poor people who have nothing to do with it? Hardly.

Chen Chong saw that everyone was excited and very satisfied, and said again: "Everyone, don't talk about it yet, after I finish talking about important things one by one, it's not too late for everyone to express their opinions afterwards."

As you all know, this position of the city lord of Yingchuan City was originally Zhang Fulin's. But since the king came to our Yingchuan, he saw that the city lord was cruel and unkind, and withheld the money and grain of the court for disaster relief, which brought disaster to the township and harmed the people. So he raised the banner of rebellion and put Zhang Fulin this dog. Officers killed.

As the saying goes, a country cannot be without a king for a day, and a family cannot be without an owner for a day. After the king killed the city lord, he did not peep into the city lord's throne, but took the place of the imperial court and temporarily appointed me as the city lord. When Yingchuan stabilizes in the future, I will choose a virtuous person to take the position of city lord. In accordance with the instructions of Lord Wang, I opened the granary in the city and distributed grain to help all the fathers and villagers tide over the difficulties.

The day before yesterday, the king heard many of the people's words. It is said that there are countless bandits in our Yingchuan City, and it is difficult to count the soldiers. Lord Wang was so heartbroken that he couldn't sleep at night.

And yesterday, he personally risked his life as a bait to lure many outlaw gangs to Tianfengpo. In yesterday's battle, Lord Wang and his wife, Miss Jingyan, almost lost their lives at the hands of bandits. Later, fortunately, the soldiers sacrificed their lives to save the king, and it was only when they saved the safety of Lord Wang.

Now, the one hundred and eighteen heads placed on the stage must all know one or two, or they have been more or less blackmailed and violated by them. Even your sons and daughters have died at their hands.

A few months ago, Xiaoqing, the daughter of Zhang Laohan's family in the west of the city, was forcibly captured and insulted by Wang Shengyuan, a soldier who controlled the city gate. After Wang Shengyuan humiliated her, he let his subordinates take turns to be rude. Xiaoqing was tortured, begging every day, begging for the earth, and finally died.

Nineteen days ago, it was still in the west of the city, and Miss Manyao, the only queen of Wang Yuan's foreign family, was humiliated by the bandits' flower picking holy hand. After the humiliation, the Holy Hand of Flower Picking not only did not let Miss Manyao go, but killed her ruthlessly and divided her body into the wilderness.

Thirteen days ago, Xiaorou, the daughter of the blacksmith Lao Zhang in the south of the city, was also violated by the robbers who killed the scholars. The blacksmith Lao Zhang was loyal and righteous, and when he saw his daughter being tortured, he resisted, but he was also killed by the scholar who killed him. After the fatal scholar killed Lao Zhang, he didn't give up and killed all the remaining children of Lao Zhang.

I can't talk about all these evil deeds even if I talk about them for ten days and ten nights, and everyone knows all these things. Now, our great enemy, the thief we want to skin and dig out his heart, has all been ambushed. The head of Wang Shengyuan, the head of the deadly scholar, the head of the flower picker, the head of the five brothers of the Jiang family, etc., are all here.

Lord Wang not only wiped out the mediocre city lord for us this time, but also risked his life to destroy more than ninety percent of the outlaw gang in one fell swoop, and distributed money and food to the people for disaster relief. This kind of merit, for our Yingchuan, can be compared to the rebirth of parents, and comparable to the emperor's thick earth.

Now the remaining outlaw gangs heard that Lord Wang's prestige was terrifying, and fled in all directions. It can be said that at this moment, our Yingchuan City has been completely peaceful, and no one dares to endanger our children with poisonous hands. Ladies and gentlemen, our good days have come, and God has sent us the Great Master of the Blue Sky to lead us out of the disaster and rebuild our homeland..."

Chen Chong was impassioned and said that Wang Mang's merits were felt. Hearing this, everyone's blood boiled, and tears welled up in their eyes.

"Lord Wang....."

"Lord Wang....."

"Lord Wang....."

The people present knelt down one after another, chanting more than once, and were full of grief.

As Chen Chong said, these bandits and ruffians have indeed brought great threats to the entire Yingchuan, so that the children of these ordinary people dare not go out.

They wanted to rebel and kill the bandits. Helplessly, these bandits have come and gone without a trace, and their skills are strong, and they are not at all something that ordinary people can deal with.

Now that these people have been killed one by one, it is difficult for everyone to calm down the excitement in their hearts, and they all chant for Wang Mang Shengming.

The people's hearts have been united, and the people have been united.

After thousands of people chanted for a long time, Chen Chong spoke again: "Fathers and fellow villagers, there is another important thing that you may not know very well. Now is the right time, as the lord of the city, I should tell you the news. ”

An old man standing a little in front wiped the tears from his eyes, stepped forward and asked, "City Lord, what else is the big deal?" ”

Chen Chong said word by word: "Originally, we killed the bandits and ruffians and opened the granary for disaster relief, and we can indeed live a peaceful life in peace." However, this is not the case with heaven. I got the news half a month ago that Li Zhongbing, the prefect of Wanzhou, was divided into eight routes, with a total of 40,000 troops to kill our Yuzhou.

We have a total of eight cities in Yuzhou, and Yingchuan City is among them. Now Li Zhong's troops and horses have been stationed dozens of miles away, and they are about to attack.

From the very beginning, I wanted to tell you the news, and I hope you will take precautions. It's just that the city adjourned that Flynn refused, and imprisoned me. I wrote to the Yuzhou prefect to withdraw from the army, but the Yuzhou prefect also ignored it.

We only have less than 3,000 soldiers and horses in Yingchuan, and we still don't have enough grain and grass for our baggage, and we lost one or two hundred good generals in killing bandits yesterday. At this moment, in the face of the 5,000 soldiers and horses that are killing our Yingchuan City, I am really unstoppable.

That Li Zhong was brutal and unkind, and wanted to unify the entire Zhuzhou for his own selfishness. Once he breaks through our Yingchuan city, he will definitely kill and wash this city in blood.

Now there are only two ways to save our lives. One, leave Yingchuan immediately. Second, I also ask all my fathers and fellow villagers to help me and defeat each other. Only then can we continue to be stable. Your Excellency Wang is here today to hear your opinions. ”

"Li Zhongbing, the prefect of Wanzhou, killed Yuzhou in eight ways? And there are 5,000 strong soldiers who have already arrived dozens of miles outside our Yingchuan City? ”

Many people were shocked again, and the news was like a thunderbolt, shattering the thoughts of happiness that had just been derived from their hearts.

"Yes, this news is true."

Chen Chong said in a deep voice: "Yesterday evening, Li Zhong's subordinate deputy general Li Bolai had already issued a war letter, and I also took the war letter. Fight them to the death and act as the first line of defense against their siege.

But I only have less than 3,000 remnants, and I can't resist it at all. It probably won't take a day or two for them to be able to kill them completely. This is a critical moment, there is no room for negligence, and I ask all the fathers and villagers to make a decision as soon as possible. ”
