"Is it because of the Ji family?"

Wang Mang asked: "According to the information I got, the Jia family has a master of the Ji family, and that Ji Yun seems to have killed a lot of people from your Shangguan family." At the same time, he was also looking for Ning Xuan everywhere, trying to seize Ning Xuan's willow sword. ”

"Yes, that's why." Shangguan Hong said angrily: "That Ji Yun is not small, and he has killed many masters of my Shangguan family. He even found another stronghold of my Shangguan family and destroyed it.

I don't know where they came from. Not to mention that there are many masters, the news is also very well-informed. I was about to give up here and find a new place to settle down, but you came. ”

Wang Mang replied: "I haven't gotten much information about the Ji family, I only know that this family has great energy, and it is not a problem to mobilize two or three hundred thousand troops casually, it is very mysterious." As soon as he looked at that Feng Yi, he seemed to listen to the Ji family's words very much. ”

"One day, I will know what this Ji family is about."

Shangguan Hong was indignant and wanted to completely destroy the Ji family and cut off the root cause for his daughter.

However, he didn't have this ability, and he couldn't even find where the other party's door was, but he had to hide, not daring to let the Ji family find a trace.

"Mang'er, just now you said that you have borrowed 3,000 soldiers and horses from the Qian family and 3,000 soldiers and horses from the Xue family. From this point of view, with the addition of more than 1,000 people from my Shangguan family, a total of 7,000 people, it should be able to completely destroy the Jia family and cut off their foundation in Qingzhou. ”

"This is a must, the Jia family must be completely wiped out." Wang Mang said undoubtedly.

"Okay, I didn't expect you to do such a big thing not long after you arrived in Qingzhou, it's good."

Shangguan Hong was very satisfied with Wang Mang's attitude, and he also agreed with him to exterminate the Jia family.

Because the extermination of the Jia family can also reduce the pressure on his Shangguan family, which is a good thing for both worlds.

At that moment, the two talked privately for a while, and Shangguan Hong suddenly asked: "Mang'er, tell me, what happened to you and my daughter in Zhuzhou back then?"

According to the information I got back then, my daughter only went to Yingchuan with you, and then she didn't go with you. Since then, she has rarely contacted me, let alone returned to Shangguan's house. If nothing had happened, how could she have been? ”

"This..."Wang Mang opened his mouth, not knowing how to explain.

Secretly hesitated for a long time, feeling that it was not a way to hide this matter, after all, Shangguan Hong was Shangguan Ningxuan's father, so he lowered his head and said: "Uncle, this matter is not my fault, I made a mistake at the time." When Ning Xuan was poisoned and powerless, I ....."

"Just what?"

Shangguan Hong didn't want to ask, but after asking, he was suddenly stunned, and immediately thought of a possibility, and exclaimed: "You mean, you mean..."

"Well, that's it. Over the years, I have been looking for her, trying to confess my mistakes with her, but I have never found any trace of her. Wang Mang said guiltily.

"I see, I see."

Hearing Wang Mang tell the inside story, he suddenly felt weak for a while, and understood why Shangguan Ningxuan didn't come to see him.

After muttering to himself for a long time, he looked at Wang Mang with a strange look on his face, and muttered to himself again: "So, what she said at that time were all false? Actually, she was really pregnant..."

Speaking of this, he seemed to have some scruples, so he didn't say any more, but said in a deep voice: "Mang'er, as you said, people are not sages, who can do nothing." This matter is between you and her, and it should be resolved by you, and I can't force me to intervene in anything. But I have a word, and you must hear it clearly, or I will not let you go. ”

"Uncle, please tell me that I will respect my teachings." Wang Mang said solemnly.

Shangguan Hong said: "What happened to you and her has become a fact and cannot be changed. I don't know what she thinks. But if you really get together in the future, you have to treat her well. If she is unwilling, you must not force her, let alone use vile means against her, and do everything according to her will.

If she makes any mistakes in the future, I hope you will turn a blind eye and not bother with her. I can tell that if nothing else, you're likely to stand out from the crowd. However, you also know my daughter's temperament, and I don't know if she will do something in the future to fight with you. ”

"Rest assured, uncle, I will remember your words."

"Hmm!" Shangguan Hong asked again: "Who else knows about this except me?" What about your mother? ”

"In addition to you, my wife Jingyan also knows the inside story. As for my mother, she didn't know, and I didn't dare to tell her, for fear she wouldn't be able to bear the anger. Wang Mang replied.

Shangguan Hong nodded again, got up and said, "Okay, that's all for now, you can stay here and play for a while, or go back to the imperial capital, whatever you want." I know the matter of exterminating the Jia family. When the manpower is ready, I will send someone to the General's Mansion to inform you. ”

"Thank you uncle for your help, the younger generation is grateful." Wang Mang got up and bowed.

"No thanks, even if you and Xuan'er don't have that kind of thing, we are all family, let alone now? Yesterday morning, Xuan'er said that she wanted you to take good care of Yan'er and Shun'er, so you only need to do these things. After saying this, Shangguan Hong's figure also disappeared into the living room.

Seeing this, Wang Mang didn't want to stay longer, went out of the hall, said goodbye to the other young people, stepped on the horse, and went straight to the general's mansion.

With 7,000 people to help, he has a lot of peace in his heart, and he is thinking about starting to attack the Jia family.

By the time he returned to General Wuhou's Mansion, it was already midnight.

At this moment, Wang Jingyan had fallen asleep.

Wang Mang looked in the room and didn't dare to go to bed, for fear of waking her up and affecting her sleep, so he turned around and went to the guest room to rest.

On the morning of the next day, Wang Mang summoned many masters and arranged the tasks one by one, asking them to secretly investigate the movements of the Jia family and find out the news.

Wang Jingyan saw that Wang Mang's affairs were all arranged, and asked, "Xianggong, have all the things for help been arranged?" What are the two addresses that Mother gave you, you can tell me. ”

Wang Mang replied: "One is the address of the Shangguan family's stronghold in Qingzhou, and the other is the address of the Xue family's mother's mother's family. Now we have 7,000 men and horses, which is enough to deal with the Jia family. In a few days, I will ask Your Majesty to send down a holy decree, and then I can justifiably copy the Jia family, destroy his entire clan, and be angry for you. ”

"Shangguan's family? The Xue family? I see. Wang Jingyan nodded, and asked again: "At Shangguan's house, have you asked your sister-in-law any news?" ”

"My sister-in-law rarely goes there, so they don't know what my sister-in-law is." Wang Mang replied.

The two talked for a while, and a small servant came in outside and said, "Lord Qiqi, the Qiu Tong sent by the queen mother has arrived, do you want to see it?" ”

"Oh? Qiu Tong is coming? You asked her to come to me, I was asking her something. Wang Mang exclaimed.

"Yes, sir."

The little guy retreated and lured Qiu Tong in.

When Qiu Tong saw Wang Mang and Wang Jingyan, he didn't salute, found a place, sat down, and said with a light smile: "Wang Gongzi, I didn't expect me to go out for a few days, but you tossed a lot of things." It can be seen from this that you are really a scourge, and wherever you go is not peaceful. ”

"Hahaha..."Wang Mang laughed three times, "Qiu Tong, in the future, my safety of Jingyan will be handed over to you, you can take a closer look at it for me, don't make her suffer." ”

"Don't worry, Niangniang has orders before, how dare I disobey? Sister Jingyan's safety is all on me. "Autumn Tong is colorful.

"That's very good."

Wang Mang said again: "Qiu Tong, you are more familiar with the imperial capital than me, let me ask you, how much do you know about the official title of Hubu Shangshu?" The day before yesterday, when I was in this position, I wondered if I wanted to do something that belonged to the head of the household. ”
