Zhang Jian looked at the ten carts of gold, silver and jewelry behind Li Hong, completely extinguished the mind of fighting with Wang Mang, and then there was a harmonious scene of monarchs and ministers, the two sides jointly recounted the history and achievements of the development of Great Qin for decades, and then looked forward to the future together, the two sides reached an agreement on strengthening the Qin State, Zhang Jian even tearfully said that after returning to his hometown, he would bury his head in writing a book on his years of governing the country as a training Qin scholar.

After that, Wang Mang personally sent Zhang Jian out of the city, and the monarch and the minister were at the gate of Chang'an, which was a good song of sorrow, which made the onlookers moved.

"Father, why do you want to give face to the Son of Heaven like this?" Zhang Ming didn't understand the situation until he left Chang'an for a long time, and finally couldn't help but open his mouth to Zhang Jian.

Zhang Jian sighed and said: "You remember, those who respect people will always respect him, the Son of Heaven respects me so much today, if I don't know how to lift, I'm afraid that after today, I, Zhang Jian, will be discredited in the Qin State." ”

"It can't be that serious, right?" Zhang Ming said.

"Won't?" Zhang Jian sneered: "You are still too young, why are you doing this in the sky, do you think he doesn't want to kill me, it's not that he can't kill me, he is really afraid that killing me will have a bad impact on his rule, but he also has bad intentions, just today's scene, after he created it, if I dare to turn my back on the Qin State, I will be spurned by the world." ”

"This ......," Zhang Ming muttered, "then where are we going now?"

"Homecoming. Zhang Jian sighed.

"Not going to South Korea?" Zhang Ming exclaimed.

"I can't go. Zhang Jian said: "Originally, I planned to seek political asylum in South Korea on the grounds that I was not welcomed in the Qin State, but today in Chang'an City to make such a fuss, I am afraid that I will not believe it myself, and the road to South Korea is also blocked by the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven is going to trap me in the Qin State alive." ”

"Huh?" Zhang Ming couldn't help but say, "What about the uncle and brother?"

"Let him stay in the Three Kingdoms of Han, Zhao and Wei with peace of mind. Zhang Jian sighed and said, "Zhang Ming, haven't you seen it until now, has the Son of Heaven already known about me sending my family abroad?"

"How could the Son of Heaven know?" Zhang Ming said: "He knew that he still let his father out of the city." ”

"Otherwise, arrest me?" Zhang Jian shook his head and said, "I'm just an old man, even if the Son of Heaven arrests me, he won't get anything but damage his reputation." ”

"After all, my father is a veteran of the Three Dynasties and has many secrets of the Qin State. Zhang Ming couldn't help but say.

"That was the secret of the Qin State before. Zhang Jian said: "Since Your Majesty took back the authority from the Queen Mother after passing the three levels in Shangyuan Palace, we have never entered Your Majesty's inner circle, we don't know what means the Son of Heaven has, what secrets there are, as for the ones I have in my hands are nothing in front of the current Son of Heaven, as I told you before, the water of this Qin State is deep." ”

The carriage Shi Shiran drove towards Zhang Jian's hometown, Zhang Jian also taught Zhang Ming wholeheartedly, although Zhang Ming is Zhang Jian's eldest son, but he has never been valued by Zhang Jian before, and now there is only this one adult son around him, Zhang Jian has no choice but to teach him well, only hoping to cultivate Zhang Ming in the short term, which is a little useful, as for the second son, Zhang Jian's eyes fell on a carriage, and he couldn't help but shake his head.

In Chang'an City, although the crowd has dispersed, countless people are still discussing the Son of Heaven's favor for Zhang Jian, discussing and discussing, and finally there is a voice that satisfies Wang Mang.

"If Zhang Jian is sorry for Your Majesty and Qin Guo in the future, he will be in vain!"

This sentence quickly spread throughout Chang'an, and then spread in all directions.

And Wang Mang had already returned to the palace, and Shang Yang said respectfully: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, that Zhang Jian must be angry at this moment." ”

"No, Zhang Jian is very deep in the city, he won't say more than half a word when he is angry, he will only hold it in his heart, he can't let people see his emotions, after all, he is Zhang Jian who is very deep in the city. Wang Mang smiled and said, "Lin Yuxin, what is Zhang Jian's direction now?"

He went back to his hometown. Lin Yuxin said: "I found out from his coachman before, Zhang Jian was originally going to go all the way east to Hanguguan after leaving the city, but now he has temporarily changed the direction and returned to his hometown in the south. ”

"Haha. Shang Yang smiled: "It seems that Zhang Jian knows that His Majesty will not let him go." ”

"He's an old fox, of course he knows. Wang Mang said lightly.

Deng Fang walked in at this time and reported: "Your Majesty, the eldest grandson Wuji is back and is waiting outside to meet Your Majesty." ”

"Eldest Sun Wuji is back, let him in. Wang Mang said.

The eldest grandson Wuji was sent by Wang Mang to find the predecessor of the Legalist before, and now that he has come back, he must have gained.

Sure enough, the eldest grandson Wuji came back with a happy face, kowtowed, and said, "Your Majesty, the minister is worthy of his mission." ”

"Really?" Wang Mang looked surprised.

"Yes, the minister has traveled to many places this time, and has found a lot of senior masters of my Legalist family, among which three seniors were moved by the minister to come to my Daqin to serve. The eldest grandson Wuji said: "The three seniors all have the strength of the Transformation God Realm, and they have not shown up on the mainland for a long time, they came secretly this time, and now they have been settled, they don't like to show up, but as long as Your Majesty tells them to be willing to act for the Qin State." ”

Three gods?

Wang Mang's face was stunned, but he still immediately said: "Yes, Wuji is happy." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji was a little stunned, how did he know that Wang Mang had broken through to become a god master in such a short period of time, so the Legalist seniors he found in the God Transformation Realm couldn't surprise Wang Mang at all.

However, Wang Mang quickly figured it out, after all, now the mainland is only secretly surging, and on the surface it is almost the same as before, and the god transformation master was indeed a great master in the past, but it is just a little useless now.

Wang Mang glanced at Shang Yang and the eldest grandson Wuji, these two people were the great heroes who had gained a foothold in the Qin State in the early stage, but now their strength was a little insufficient, so he immediately took out two golden pills and let the two of them swallow them directly, and soon the breath of the middle of the two golden pills flashed away in the palace.

Feeling the surging power in their bodies, Shang Yang and Eldest Sun Wuji's faces were full of shock, Shang Yang had already known that Wang Mang had a master whose strength was against the sky and killed fifty Jindan masters casually, but now it seems that the Son of Heaven is also very extraordinary.

"Your Majesty is at what level of cultivation now?" Shang Yang asked.

"Avatar. Wang Mang said lightly: "This time I worked hard in Cloud City, and I was lucky enough to break through to the realm of transforming gods, but when I reached this realm, I realized that I had really sat in the well and watched the sky before." ”

No wonder!

The eldest grandson Wuji reacted to why Wang Mang was extremely surprised at first, but when he learned that the two people he found back were only at the level of transforming gods, his expression became flat, and the Son of Heaven himself had turned into a god, where would he be a master of transforming gods.

"Your Majesty, do you know the truth of the horse bones in Qianjin City?" said the eldest grandson Wuji.

Wang Mang was stunned for a moment, and then said: "It's me who is too anxious, Wuji, the three Legalist seniors came to the Qin State without hardship, I am very happy, and I am willing to worship the three masters of my Great Qin Shiziyuan with five hundred yuan stones every year, I don't know if the three teachers are willing?"

Five hundred yuan stone?

The eldest grandson Wuji is stupid, he is a serious Legalist disciple, the Legalist righteous person is the first to correct himself, he has always been a famous poor person sent by various universities, and the five hundred yuan stone may make countless Legalist seniors rush to it.

"Too much, Your Majesty. The eldest grandson Wuji couldn't help but say.

"Since it's a horse bone in Qianjin City, it won't have any effect if it's not much. Wang Mang said: "Wuji, Qin State is now in crisis, people are important, money is not important, as long as Qin State can be kept, there will be money in the future." ”

"Your Majesty. The eldest grandson Wuji couldn't help but kowtow to Wang Mang, with a son of heaven like Wang Mang, why should the Qin State be worried.

Since the eldest grandson Wuji has returned, Wang Mang does not plan to let the eldest grandson Wuji go out again in the short term, so he said: "Wuji, the daily work of Shiziyuan will be handed over to you in the future, Shiziyuan is the place where my Qin State cultivates reserve officials, it is very important, there is no room for mistakes, I will hand over this burden to you, you are willing to bear it." ”

"The minister is willing, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to trust His Majesty. The eldest grandson Wuji said.

"You just do things, I will always be the strongest backbone behind you. Wang Mang said: "In addition, the scholars who participated in the Southern Expedition will be judged according to the regulations, and the upper, middle and lower grades must be fair and reasonable. ”

"I understand. The eldest grandson Wuji said: "The minister will do this well within three days." ”

"I believe in you. Wang Mang looked at Shang Yang again and said: "Shang Yang, now it's not as good as before, the entire court can already be completely in charge, you don't have to have any evasions, the pace of changing the law should be a little faster, the intensity should be a little bigger, you don't have to have any worries, I will let the soldiers and horses Wang Qinian cooperate with you, but anyone who dares to obstruct the change of the law will be arrested." ”

"Obey. Shang Yang kowtowed and said: "In the days when Your Majesty is not in Chang'an, the minister has drawn up 33 articles to change the law, and they will be issued and implemented one by one when His Majesty returns. ”

"Good. Wang Mang couldn't help but nodded, and then his expression moved, and said, "I have guests here, you should go out first." ”

Shang Yang and the eldest grandson Wuji were stunned, and Shang Yang said, "Your Majesty, who is it?"

"It's useless for you to stay here, my cultivation is much stronger than yours. Wang Mang smiled.

Shang Yang and Eldest Sun Wuji glanced at each other, and finally left under Wang Mang's orders, as Wang Mang said, their cultivation was still too low.

After going out, Shang Yang looked at the eldest grandson Wuji and said, "I want to be strong." ”

"Me too. The eldest grandson Wuji said: "It's only been a long time, we are already so far away from Your Majesty, if we don't become strong as soon as possible, we will soon be unable to keep up with Your Majesty's footsteps." ”

"Yes, I swore to be a precursor to His Majesty, but now I am completely incapable of it. Shang Yang said: "But my Legalist disciple cultivates the realm, as long as my law change measures can continue to be implemented, my cultivation will continue to increase, Mowgli, next I want to play big." ”

"Shang Yang, you and I are brothers, you can rest assured. The eldest grandson Wuji said: "My Legalist family is now very declining under the persecution of the Jixia Academy, if the Qin State can set up a banner for the Legalist family on the mainland, the senior masters of my Legalist family will definitely be willing to come to help, I will go to the three seniors now, and see if they have a clue to contact the saints of my Legalist family." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji and Shang Yang parted ways, and an old man in Wang Mang's study appeared with a cold face, he looked at Wang Mang coldly, and said: "I have been to Chang'an many times before, and I have never had the opportunity to see you, this time I didn't expect to be so lucky, I met you here, I ask you to answer, you understand." ”

"Who are you?" said Wang Mang.

"Who am I?" the old man sneered: "Old man Zhou Er, nicknamed the cold-faced killer. ”

"Is it Zhou Feng and Zhou Yan who are from the Tiandao Zhou family?" Wang Mang felt relieved, originally he thought that it was a holy gate such as Jixia School Palace that sent someone to find trouble for him, but he didn't expect that it was a person known as a cold-faced killer, as soon as he heard the surname Zhou, Wang Mang guessed that this person probably had something to do with Zhou Feng and Zhou Yan who he killed earlier.

"You can even guess where I came from. Zhou Er was stunned, he thought that he would tell Wang Mang about his origin, so that Wang Mang would know who he was.

"Look at the long knife on your back, and your surname is Zhou, guess. Wang Mang said lightly: "What are you doing here?"

"Zhou Yan and Zhou Feng died in your hands?" Zhou Er said: "Don't try to deceive me, I have investigated, the last place where they appeared was the Qin State Palace, you can't be unaware of this matter." ”

Feelings: I don't know that I killed Zhou Feng and Zhou Yan?

Wang Mang was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help laughing: "Just because they once appeared in the palace of the Qin State, I have to know about them." ”

"Shouldn't you know?" Zhou Er said, "If you say it clearly, I can give you a happy death." ”

"How to die happily?" Wang Mang looked at Zhou Er and sneered, "Do you know who I am?"

"Emperor Qin, a notorious waste. Zhou Er said disdainfully: "If it weren't for your bounty being good, I wouldn't be too lazy to do it." ”

"Then did you know that killing the emperor of a nation on the continent is to be hunted down by all nations? Wang Mang said.

"Sure enough, it's a waste emperor, what an idiot. Zhou Er said: "You also inquire about the name of my Heavenly Sword Zhou family, don't say that you are a waste emperor of a small border country, even if it is an emperor as powerful as Han Zhao Wei, my Heavenly Sword Zhou family has been killed." ”

"Well, it's amazing!" Wang Mang looked at Zhou Er with a flat face, and said: "The name of the Heavenly Dao Zhou family is worthy of its reputation, but before you came, did you ever think about knowing yourself and your opponent? It is said that killers are all hidden in the shadows and then deliver a fatal blow." ”

Zhou Er suddenly felt that something was wrong, the prey in front of him was too calm, calm not at all like encountering a killer, could it be that there was an ambush here, but he had already seen it in the vicinity before, and there was no one who threatened him at all.

"Bluff!" Zhou Er sneered, grabbed Wang Mang as soon as he raised his hand, and said coldly: "Grab it first and break your legs, see if you dare to pretend to be a ghost...... Ahh

With a miserable scream, before Zhou Er's hand reached Wang Mang, his legs were cut into two pieces by an invisible sword qi, Zhou Er opened his eyes wide and pointed at Wang Mang and said, "This is impossible!"
