"Hahaha, you're different from them. The life-killing scholars, the holy hands of flower pickers, the five brothers of the Jiang family, etc., are all evil thieves, specializing in harming the people. I slew them to put an end to violence and peace, and to eliminate harm for the people. You're different, you're moral. ”

Wang Mang smiled lightly: "Since you know my name, then you naturally also know that my uncle is Wang Xianzhi, the general of Huwei in Yuzhou. With my uncle and my identity, a few thousand taels of silver is nothing.

Now I really don't have any extra silver taels on me, so I ask you to give me a thin face and be accommodating. When I arrive in Yuzhou, I will definitely send the silver taels as quickly as possible. I don't think you think that in my capacity, you will rely on your money, right? ”

"Hehe, with your identity, you naturally won't be repaid."

Yan You, the leader of the bandits, heard the young woman's whispered words, had a plan in his heart, and replied with a smile: "Wang Mang, my rules cannot be changed, otherwise how will I trust many brothers?" Now you don't have this silver tael on you, and I won't embarrass you.

As long as you kneel down, kowtow to me nine times, and call me three times, uncle. I'll let you go, and I won't ask for your money again." Come to think of it, you have always put the people first, and now for the sake of the people, it is not a big deal to kowtow to me, right? Otherwise, if we fight a battle, you will be victorious, but the people will be killed and wounded. ”

"Bastard, you wait for a thief, dare to be rude to my Lord Wang? Look for death! ”

The strategist Wang Xun was furious and shouted: "Yan You, Chen Shou, Sun Jiao, you don't want to deceive people too much. Lord Wang worked hard for the country and the people, but he persecuted my family so much, but he was killing himself. ”

"Come on, quickly take down this group of thieves for me, kill them, and don't let Lord Wang suffer from petty humiliation."

Wang Xun was really angry this time, let go of his scruples, and had to fight with the other party.

"Yes, my lord, I will defend the king to the death!"

The dozens of soldiers behind Wang Xun heard Yan Youzhi's arrogant words, and their faces were already blue with anger, their eyes were spewing fire, and they were eager to start killing immediately.

Now when he heard Wang Xun's order, he immediately pulled out his machete and rushed to the front with murderous energy.

As for the young woman and thief Sun Jiao, after hearing Yan You's words, she glared at Yan You, and seemed to be very annoyed.

"Get out of the way!" Wang Mang drank loudly to stop the bloody clash between the soldiers and the bandits.

"My lord, such a thief is rude, please fulfill it, let me wait to fight with him!" All the soldiers roared in unison, and their swords were tense.

"My lord, how can thou be the man of gold, the God of the gospel of the people, to suffer such a thief's reproach? My lord, we are willing to slay the thief to the death, rush out of the way, and keep the people away safely. ”

"Yes, my lord, if this news reached the ears of those people, they would not have agreed. Hurry up, my lord, give the order, we can fight for your lordship and die without regrets! ”

The eyes of all the soldiers were cracked, and they knelt on the ground to ask for their lives to fight, which was touching.

Wang Mang got off the horse with Wang Jingyan in his arms, ignoring these soldiers, but said to Yan You word by word with a solemn look: "Yan You, if I kneel down to you, kowtow nine times, and shout three times, uncle, will you really get out of the way and not fight with me?" ”

"A gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase." Yan You replied: "Wang Mang, you just vouched for your integrity, saying that you will definitely send silver taels when you return to Yuzhou." Now I can also use integrity to guarantee, as long as you kneel down and kowtow to me, I will absolutely let you go and will not charge any money. Of course, if you don't believe it, then I can't help it. ”

"Faith, judging from your style of robbing the rich and helping the poor in the past, you don't look like an untrustworthy person. And you don't have to fool me, because fooling me is the only way to die. Wang Mang said silently: "Since this is the case, then I will promise you to kneel down and kowtow to you." ”

"Xianggong, this...."

Wang Jingyan was anxious, holding Wang Mang's arm tightly, not wanting Wang Mang to lose face here.

"The gentleman is frank, and the villain is a relative. Jingyan, the eldest husband was born in heaven and earth, but he can kneel to heaven and earth and kneel to his parents, that is, he does not kneel to ghosts, gods, demons, traitors, and ministers. ”

Wang Mang said lightly: "What is heaven? What is land? The people are the heavens, the soldiers are the earth, and those who gave birth to me and raised me are all the people. Now that the people are threatened, if I kneel down and beg for the peace of the people, how can I lose face? Dignity is created by one's own hands, not by one's own protection. ”

After that, Wang Mang removed Wang Jingyan from holding his hand, strode to Yan You, and without saying a word, bent over and knelt down.

Following all the way, Qiu Tong, who was hiding in the shadows, was shocked when he saw this situation.

She muttered with an incredible look on her face: "He is the head of the royal family's Rong Mansion, and he holds great power and is supreme. Today, he can kneel down and beg for the sake of 100,000 people, is the people really so important in his heart?

He tricked the people into leaving Yingchuan and going to Yuzhou, really just to protect these people, not to take advantage of the people's hearts? How many people in this world can do this? Can the head of the Wei family? Can the head of the Wang family? Can the head of the Huo family? Can the Emperor of the Han Dynasty be the Emperor today? The queen asked me to arrest him, is this matter too unreasonable? ”

At this moment, this super killer who is proficient in the way of concealing disguise is completely impressed by Wang Mang's affection and righteousness. The faith in my heart began to waver. I don't want to obey Queen Wei Ziyao's instructions, and I don't want to embarrass Wang Mang.

Warriors have the way of warriors, and literati have the style of writers.

Qiu Tong took a deep look at Wang Mang who was kneeling on the ground, in her eyes, Wang Mang at this moment was extremely tall, like a pillar of optimus. It is enough to hold up the high heavens and complete the avenue of the sky.

"The people are the heavens, the soldiers are the earth, and those who give birth to me and raise me are all the people. Okay, Wang Mang, you can make such actions and say such words, which is enough to show your heart. Niangniang's entrustment, I will press it for you for the time being. Qiu Tong sighed, then disappeared without a sound, and ran back in the direction of the barracks.

At the place where the two sides negotiated, Yan You, Chen Shou, and Sun Jiao were also shocked and shocked when they saw Wang Mang really kneeling.

"Lord Wang, your subordinates are guilty, your subordinates are guilty."

The military advisor Wang Xun didn't care about his face, the wolf howled and cried, and he also knelt on the ground, tears like rain.

He began to cry aloud, and all the other soldiers fell to their knees with sad faces. stared at Yan You and the three of them viciously, eager to eat this group of thieves alive.

"Engong, Engong, never, never, never!"

Sun Jiao couldn't bear it, glared at Yan You angrily, and her eyes were spewing fire.

Then he hurriedly helped Wang Mang up, did not let Wang Mang kowtow, and also cried: "Engong, it's me who is wrong, I shouldn't embarrass you, I shouldn't test you." ”
