"What happened?"

Chen Chong and other generals were frowning, worried that Pi Tong's army would raise troops to attack.

Now I suddenly heard the message of the little soldier shouting, and I couldn't help but be startled. The whole person's scalp was numb, and his heart was uneasy and anxious.

Commander Ziliang shouted, "What the hell happened? You can get back quickly. ”

Seeing that the faces of these generals were very ugly, the messengers trembled, a little inexplicable.

He was slightly stunned, and then said loudly: "Lord Qiqi, my lords, the rear of our army..."

Before he finished his words, Yan You immediately exclaimed: "What happened to the rear of our army? Isn't it that Li Zhong led the army to kill? ”

"Not really!"

The messenger was a little dazed, feeling that this atmosphere was very strange, and at the moment he carefully lowered his voice and said: "Lord Qiqi, a gentleman and a young woman came to the rear of our army, saying that they wanted to take refuge in Lord Wang. ”

"What? A gentleman? A young woman? Come to me? ”

Wang Mang's eyes widened, his face was confused, and he wondered: "Who are those two people?" What's the name? ”

Xiaobing replied: "They didn't tell their names, they only said that they were from Wanzhou. And he also said, as long as you see them, Lord Wang, you will definitely know them. At this moment, the two of them have been guarded by our army, do you want to see them? ”

"Oh? People from Wanzhou? And still come to me? ”

Wang Mang was stunned for a moment, laughed, and said to the generals: "This is a bit interesting, then Li Zhong is the prefect of Wanzhou, and he is almost equal to us." Now that the people of Wanzhou have come to take refuge, this matter is interesting. ”

When the general heard the news, for a moment, their thinking was stuck, and they couldn't figure it out.

"Go and bring them to me. Since they have come to take refuge, do not be rude, lest they call us rude. ”

"Yes, sir!"

The messenger soldier saluted and slowly retreated.

After Chen Chong and the others were stunned for a few minutes, they came back to their senses and were amazed. Don't speak at the moment, just wait and see who is going to vote.

After a while, I saw a small soldier leading a man and a woman to the entrance of the big tent.

The man is about thirty, handsome and dashing, and personable. The young woman is about twenty-seven or eighteen, graceful and charming.

As soon as these two people appeared, they were like fairy couples, giving people a feeling of floating out of the dust, and they looked very good.

Wang Mang and the generals saw the two of them coming, and they all looked at it.

At first glance, they were immediately shocked, and they all showed incredible faces.

This beautiful young woman is unknown to everyone.

However, most of the generals present know that man.

When these two people saw Wang Mang and the others, they set their eyes on themselves, and they were not stage frightened. Holding hands, he crossed the entrance of the tent with his head held high, and came to the central position to stand.

Then, the man said aloud with a faint smile: "Everyone, have you always been good? It's been months since I said goodbye to you, and I miss you very much. However, it seems that the two of us came unlucky, and it is said that you were intercepted by the troops led by Pi Tong, the prefect of Shangqiu County. As a result, the army cannot advance and retreat, as if it is in a dilemma. ”

And when they heard the voice, they were calm.

Then, Chen Chong stood up abruptly and shouted with a gloomy face: "Gongsun Ce, what are you doing here?" Was it sent by Li Zhong to provoke? The two armies are at war, and they do not come to the enemy. You can quickly go back and tell Li Zhong, just say that I will wait for him? ”

"Someone, this person is a spy, quickly tie me up." Zhang Genli drank hard, "Gongsun Ce, you are Li Zhong's confidant, I didn't expect you to dare to come alone to die today." Killing you now is like cutting off Li Zhongzhi's right hand. ”

The generals who came from Yingchuan all looked angry, and they all drank in an unkind tone. Putting on a posture of wanting to do it, but no one really did it.

"Oh? Chen Chong, is this how you treat people who surrender to sincerity? Gongsun Ce and the young woman glanced at each other, smiled lightly, and were not afraid, and even said provocatively in a somewhat arrogant tone: "You guys try it!" ”

"You..." Chen Chongqi's face turned red, and he had a posture that he was about to attack.

Wang Mang took a look and said with a light smile: "Okay, okay, let go of the past grievances for the time being." Gongsun Ce, what do you want to do here, you can make it clear to me. ”

"Lord Wang, as I said just now, I am only here to seek refuge in your lordship. If the adults don't take me in, then I'll leave. ”

Although Gongsun Ce posed a provocative posture towards the other generals, he was still more polite to Wang Mang. There is nothing wrong with adequate etiquette.

"Take refuge?"

Wang Mang shook his head and said, "This is your wife next to you, right?" If you come to take refuge, why don't you bring it with the rest of the family? It can be seen that you are not sincere in your vote, but just a test or two. Moreover, you are Li Zhong's confidant and deeply loved by Li Zhong. Isn't it puzzling to suddenly say that you are coming to vote for me now? ”

Gongsun Ce replied: "Small family? My father and mother have long since passed away. As for children, my wife once said that a boy was born in troubled times, and he should help the community and serve the country, so she and I have never had children. So as not to be dragged down, it is difficult to spread your fists and feet. ”

"I see? I'm wrong about you. ”

Wang Mang stood up, bowed slightly, apologized, and asked, "Gongsun Ce, I don't know why you want to come to me?" Can you tell us why? ”

Gongsun Ce replied: "Since Lord Li Zhong was defeated by you, his personality has changed greatly, and he has washed the city with blood, without benevolence. Although I am not talented, I do not want to continue to be with him, so I specially came to take refuge. ”

"Is there such a thing? Why is it not recorded in the future? Wang Mang was shocked in his heart, Li Zhong is a world-famous general, and he has no shortcomings.

Now that Gongsun Ce actually said that Li Zhong's personality had changed drastically and washed the city in blood, he couldn't help but secretly wonder: "Could it be that the history I heard back then is not the real history?" Or is history influenced by me now? If history can really be influenced by me, will the ending of Silent Smoke be different from history? ”

I thought about it for a long time, but I couldn't find the essentials. He still didn't dare to relax his vigilance, for fear that Wang Jingyan would make a mistake.

"In that case, you can observe one or two under my account. If you think my way is in line with your heart, you can stay. If not, you can leave without worry. Also, if you observe and think that my way of governance is feasible, and you want to join forces with me. Then you must first give birth to an offspring, or I will not keep you. ”

Why is that? Could it be that under your account, you still have to have children? What does this mean? Gongsun Ceqi said.

Wang Mang replied with a smile: "If you hadn't married a wife, I wouldn't have asked for this." But you have already married a wife, and your body is not hindered, you should continue your bloodline, otherwise you will be ashamed of your ancestors and ancestors and lose your great filial piety?

The monarch is benevolent, the concubine is loyal, the minister is virtuous, and the people are filial. As the saying goes, filial piety comes first, if you don't respect this avenue, how can you serve the public? What is a country? What is home?

Only when there is a family can there be a country, but not only when there is a country can there be a home. If you don't even have a home, how can you have a true heart to revitalize the country? Gongsun Ce, the drag of the children you just mentioned is purely because you have not really understood the connection between home and country. Now that you have come to me, you can think about it. ”

When Gongsun Ce heard Wang Mang's tirade, he was suddenly enlightened, and he suddenly opened his mouth and exclaimed: "Lord Wang, you are really talented, I can't do it, I can't do it." ”

He already knew that he had gone into a misunderstanding and thought of the wrong way, and sighed: "Lord Wang, I think I have some knowledge, but I can't really appreciate the meaning of even the most basic family and country. The monarch is benevolent, the ministers are virtuous, the people are filial, and the concubines are loyal, which is really a great goodness. It seems that I have made the right choice to come to adulthood this time. ”

"That's nature!"

Wang Jingyan opened her mouth to speak, and she said in a proud tone: "I care about the world, and I once said, "I wish to give it to the people, and then reward it." "Now Mr. Gongsun has come to join forces with my husband to conspire with each other, which is really a strong alliance, but he is not afraid of the challenges of the world's heroes."

"Flutter!"

Wang Mang squirted out a sip of tea, glanced at Wang Jingyan, and shouted: "Jingyan, why are you boasting about yourself to me?" Not afraid of jokes? ”

"Hahaha...."

When all the generals saw this, they all laughed in unison, dissipating a lot of the previously suppressed aura.

Even Gongsun Ce's wife, Nie Shuang'er, couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.
