Chapter 577: The Nine Swords Gather, the Wind and Cloud Change
Ji Yun looked out at the sky and saw that it was getting dark, and estimated Ji Shuang's itinerary in his heart, and expected that Ji Shuang should be almost there now.
He said to Ji Shan: "You have been dealing with things here, and you know more about the affairs of Dingxi Pass than we do, you tell us in detail about Wang Mang's recent affairs, where is Ji Rong'er locked up?" ”
Ji Shan, the head of the Ji family in Dingxi Guan, replied: "Ji Shao, Wang Mang has not done anything else in the recent period except for arresting the intelligence officers of our Ji family. Especially in the past two days, he has hardly been out of the house. His subordinates speculated that he should be preparing to marry the princess of Dawan now.
Also, according to the people on the Weiwu Pass, Wang Xianzhi and Wang Mang's righteous son Wang Shun had already rushed to Dingxi Pass a few days ago to attend the wedding.
His subordinates were interested in arresting Wang Xianzheng, and they sent people to inquire about his itinerary, but no trace of him was found. I think you should order some of our Ji family's elite people to come over and secretly investigate? I don't have enough people on my side, so it's hard to cope.
If we have enough manpower on our side, not to mention that it can bring a huge threat to Wang Mang, we can also get twice the result with half the effort just by sabotaging his grain storage plan.
As for Ji Rong'er, after she was arrested by Wang Mang, I urgently installed some peripheral people to sneak into the prison. But I didn't see Ji Rong'er in the prison, and there are only some other members of our Ji family in the prison at present. I guess Ji Rong'er was hidden by Wang Mang, afraid that we would rescue her. ”
"So, you barely heard anything important?"
"That's the case, my subordinates are incompetent, and I ask Ji Shao to punish him."
Ji Shan felt a little aggrieved, he had never thought that there was information that he couldn't find out before. Now facing Wang Mang, he feels that he can't do it and is controlled everywhere.
"Wang Xianzhi and Wang Mang's righteous son Wang Shun are coming towards Dingxi Pass? That king has been fighting on the battlefield for a long time, and he is very shrewd and experienced, and you can't find any trace of him, which is reasonable. ”
Ji Xuan said to Ji Yun: "If we can arrest these two people, it will be a good bargaining chip, at least we can coerce Wang Mang to release Ji Rong'er." It seems that we have to go through this matter ourselves. ”
"It's useless, it's hard for us to get anything out of it." The Lord of the Wind Sword said lightly: "Wang Mang is good at calculation, we can know that Wang Xian is coming, can he still guess?" Since he guessed it, he will definitely focus on guarding against our arrest.
Even I suspect that Wang Mang guessed that we had come to Dingxi Pass. I can see now that if we want to deal with Wang Mang, we must confront him head-on. If there is any other scheme, we are no match for him. Unless Pi Tong, Feng Yi and the others all come, and then we concentrate our wisdom, so that we can fight with Wang Mang in strategy. ”
The Heavenly Thunder Sword Master said: "There is some truth in what the wind said, Wang Mang will definitely be able to guess that we will calculate that the king will arrive first." But even so, we have to pay attention. I think that if this is not the case, let our men increase their efforts to find it. If you can find it, that's great, if you can't find it, it's okay, just do your best. ”
"Okay, that's it." Ji Yun said: "Ji Shan, you are now quickly leading the rest of the men and horses to find out the traces of Wang Xianzheng." Try to arrest them before they come to Dingxi Pass. As for Wang Mang's grain storage plan, we have our own plans for this matter, so don't rush to sabotage it. ”
"Yes, Ji Shao, my subordinates will arrange it."
Ji Shan answered, exited the hall, gathered people, and went to find Wang Xianzhi.
After he left, Ji Yun said: "Everyone, I think in two or three days at most, Shi Xiuying, the princess of Dawan Kingdom, will arrive." At that point, what do you think we should do? ”
"How else can I deal with it, of course, I will congratulate it openly." Feng Leng said coldly: "This time we have nine swords in one, no matter how you say it, we have to teach him a lesson." I don't believe it, can he stop us all? And Wang Mang married Shi Xiuying, and his move was also to fight for political capital for himself.
Although Shi Xiuying can be regarded as a beautiful woman, with Wang Mang's status, will he still lack a woman with this posture? Now Wang Mang is holding on to this girl and wants to marry her, which is very unusual.
As far as I know, Shi Xiuying is very trusted by King Dawan and has quite a prestige. If this woman marries Wang Mang, under the contact of this woman, Wang Mang will be able to form a strong alliance with Dawan. Then add the Xiongnu, and then Wang Mang's power will not know how to expand to geometry.
Within our Han Dynasty, those princes and families are all calculating and fighting on their own acres and threes, but Wang Mang is not like this, he has set his sights on the outside world. Rely on outside forces to increase your power and prestige.
From this point, it can be seen that he is very difficult to deal with, and he is also a major opponent of that Ziwei Mingjun in the future. We must suppress him now, even if we can't kill him, we must limit his development, and we can't let him grow his power invisibly. ”
"You're right." Ji Xuan said: "Wang Mang is very good at combining vertical and horizontal forces, and we have to suppress him in time while his relationship with Da Dan Yu, King Da Wan and others is not very strong." If, over time, they form a strong alliance, we may be in real danger at that time. ”
The Lord of the Heavenly Sword said: "We will work together to deal with Wang Mang's affairs, and the Kyushu pattern has its own calculations by Feng Yi and others." Now we just need to recharge our energy and wait for Ji Shuang to come and join us. ”
When everyone heard this, they all nodded silently, closed their eyes tightly, and cultivated their spirits.
Ji Yun thought for a while, and suddenly remembered something, he was about to say it for everyone to refer to. But when he saw that the crowd was already pranayama, he stopped what he wanted to say and sat silently on the spot.
Time passed slowly, and after a few hours, a dusty girl came in from outside the door, and this girl was Ji Shuang.
As soon as she came in, she saw Ji Yun and the others sitting silently, and she instantly understood in her heart.
After Ji Shuang entered the door, everyone sensed the situation almost at the same time and opened their eyes at the same time.
Ji Xuan was the first to speak: "Ji Shuang, are you here?" ”
Ji Shuang replied: "You guys summon together, where can I not come?" This time, are you really going to make a big move with Wang Mang? ”
Ji Xuan shook his head and said, "It's not that we want to make a big move with Wang Mang, it's that he wants to make a big move with us." This kid is very restless, and recently arrested a lot of people from our Ji family, which caused our Ji family to lose a lot. If we don't teach him a lesson, then how will our Ji family deal with themselves?
But this kid has some ability, and none of us are sure that we can deal with him alone. A few days later, the Lord of the Wind Sword personally went to assassinate him, but he also missed. Now only when we unite the nine swords can we be sure of victory. ”
