Chen Gong returned home and hurried to the backyard. In a house in the corner, he changed into ordinary clothes, opened the back door, looked around, and saw no one was around, and then walked out of the yard. Chang Chang.
It was quiet in the alley. Chen Deng walked quickly on the street and pulled up the brim of his huge hat to cover his face as much as possible.
It had already snowed, and there were very few people on the streets. Because the people had already felt the approaching war, they did not like to go out much. Pengcheng suddenly became a lot depressed. As Chen Deng walked, he watched the surroundings with vigilance.
Whenever there was movement, he quickly turned away from everyone who passed by him to prevent them from being recognized.
After turning several turns in a row, we walked into a deep alley. There was a small inn at the top. It had no signboard or cover. If you weren't paying attention, you would have thought that this place was a residence for ordinary people. Chen Deng paused at the door for a moment.
After making sure that no one was following him, he knocked on the door, three long and two short, three times in a row. The door creaked open. Chen Deng ducked in, and the door closed immediately.
The light in the room was dim, and the person who opened the door was an old man. Chen Deng asked: "Uncle Wu, is the Lord here?"
Uncle Wu nodded and followed Uncle Wu towards the backyard. The inn was not big, and few people usually came, not to mention this time, there was no business. There were only a few rooms in the backyard of the inn, and they stopped in front of a door on the left.
Uncle Wu pushed gently, opened the door, let Chen Deng in, closed the door again, and exited the courtyard.
A woman's voice was neither humble nor overbearing: "Master Chen, you are finally willing to see me!"
Chen Deng hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "I see the Lord, please calm down. I have no choice but to do so."
The woman turned around and revealed her appearance. She was Mu Shuang, the eldest princess of the Tianlong Empire. A long time ago, Mu Shuang proposed to Long Fei that she would come to Xuzhou to persuade Zang Ba to surrender. Long Fei felt that the time had not come yet, so he decided to come to Xuzhou to persuade Zang Ba to surrender.
With the character of a bandit like Zang Ba, he would never surrender unless he completely felt that he could not fight back. Moreover, Mu Shuang did not know martial arts and had no one to protect him, so it was too dangerous to be alone. Mu Shuang said many times,
Long Fei just refused.
This time, taking advantage of Long Fei's stay in Jianye, Mu Shuang secretly came to Xuzhou without saying hello to anyone. Hei Bing still had some influence in Xuzhou. After many twists and turns, Mu Shuang found Chen Deng. Sima Yi was still Hei Bing.
Among Bing's traitors, only Chen Deng might still be able to believe it. At first, Chen Deng always avoided seeing him, but today he suddenly came to visit. He must have realized that his situation was over, and he was unable to seize the opportunity. The Chen family was very likely to cooperate with other people who would not cooperate with Long Fei.
Like the family, they disappeared in the long river of history.
Mu Shuang smiled slightly: "Get up! Sit down and talk!"
Chen Deng quickly stood up and sat down opposite Mu Shuang. Without waiting for Mu Shuang to ask, Chen Deng spoke first: "Today, Zang Ba discussed with his subordinates whether to surrender. My subordinates observed that it is very likely that Zang Ba will surrender.
, if His Majesty can continue to use force to intimidate, and his subordinates can mediate, Zang Ba will probably surrender. The only obstacle is..."
"Is it Sima Yi?" Mu Shuang said calmly: "Several of Sima Yi's brothers and sons died in the hands of his eldest brother. With his character, it is absolutely impossible for him to surrender obediently."
Chen Gong lowered his head, raised his eyelids slightly, and glanced at Mu Shuang: "In view of the Lord's wishes, what should the subordinates do?"
Mu Shuang picked up the tea cup and took a sip, drinking slowly and leisurely: "What are your plans?"
Chen Gong shook his head quickly: "All my subordinates will obey the Lord's instructions. As long as the Lord can say a few good words for the sinner in front of Your Majesty, that's all."
Mu Shuang smiled slightly: "I'm too modest. Now in the world, in Xuzhou, the eldest brother has not taken action because he doesn't want to destroy the lives of people again. To be honest, the imperial army has rushed to various places, including the Xiongnu and Xianbei in the north, the Nanman and Nanman in the south.
In Funan, the navy in the east has discovered a large island, and the army in the west is preparing to cross the desert. The territory of the empire has more than doubled compared to the Han Dynasty, and the little brother Xuzhou has not paid much attention to it. "
"Yes, yes!" Chen Gong nodded quickly: "The emperor's soldiers are unparalleled in the world. It is really inappropriate for Zang Ba and others to resist stubbornly."
Mu Shuang changed the topic: "As for this Sima Yi, he is too short-sighted to be a wise man. He only remembers the honor and disgrace of his family and never takes the world into his heart. The presence of such a person will always be a disaster."
When Chen Gong heard this, he quickly said: "I understand!"
Just as Chen Gong was about to get up, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open. Sima Yi appeared in front of the two of them with a smile on his face. Chen Gong was shocked. He didn't understand how Sima Yi knew about this place. Mu Shuang was also frightened.
Jump, be afraid of whatever comes, Sima Yi is really very thoughtful.
When Sima Yi saw it was Mu Shuang, he immediately laughed loudly: "Oh! What a rare visitor. I didn't expect the chairman of the Tianlong Empire to come to my Xuzhou. I, Xuzhou Pengpi Shenghui." Turned his head and looked at the simple shop: "What a wait.
How can this place be the residence of the Speaker, come on!"
"Sima Yi, what do you want to do?" Chen Gong asked sharply.
Sima Yi smiled slightly: "Xuzhou issued an order to Pi to secretly meet with the chairman of the Tianlong Empire. Why do you ask me? Do you want to let the lord judge?"
Mu Shuang looked at Sima Yi: "Sima Yi, what exactly do you want to do?"
Sima Yi's expression changed: "I don't know whether I should call you the Speaker or the Lord. I remember when you, a wild girl, was picked up by the old Lord and passed the Lord's position to you before he died. I thought you would revitalize our black society.
Bing, I didn’t expect that you would actually join forces with our enemies. Are you worthy of my old master? Are you worthy of those dead brothers?”
Chen Gong said angrily: "Don't be rude to the Lord!"
Sima Yi sneered: "My lord? He is your lord, not mine. From the moment he entered Xiangyang, he was already my enemy. Our Sima family shed blood for Hei Bing, and in the end we all fought for him."
He made a wedding dress, okay, in that case, you go on your Yangguan Road, I'll cross my single-plank bridge, but you dare to come to my Xuzhou, you asked for it! Come on! I'm tied!"
"Sima Yi, you're crazy!" Chen Gong stepped forward to stop him, but was stopped by two big men. Watching Sima Yi take Mu Shuang away, Chen Gong was anxious. This matter was big or small, and he still expected to catch him.
This relationship between Mu Shuang and Long Fei brought him closer, saving his Chen family from being lonely in Xuzhou. Who would have thought that Sima Yi would suddenly get involved.
Chen Deng hurried out of the inn and went straight to the Prefecture Mufu. Zang Ba was still undecided about whether to fight or not, so he specially called for his brothers. Sun Kang and Yin Li naturally felt that it was better not to fight, and Sun Guan
, but Wu Dun thought it would be better to fight. The two sides argued endlessly on this issue, and everyone could give a lot of reasons. Zang Ba was confused after hearing this.
Maybe it's because I'm getting older. Over the years, I haven't been as decisive in many things as before. I almost don't recognize myself anymore because I look forward and backward. Just when everyone was arguing endlessly, the messenger came to report, and Chen Deng came. As soon as the messenger finished speaking,
Chen Deng appeared at the gate.
"Quick, quick! Something big has happened!" Chen Deng was out of breath.
When Zang Ba and others saw it, they thought it was Long Fei calling, and they panicked. Zang Ba was still shouting: "Go and ask for the military advisor! Hurry!"
Chen Deng waved his hands repeatedly: "No! Sima Yi is going to rebel!"
Another bombshell, everyone was shocked. Sun Kang was furious: "Sima Yi dared to rebel. I sent an order to assemble. I want to see how Sima Yi wants to rebel!"
Yin Li hurriedly stopped Sun Kang: "Mr. Chen, please tell me more clearly, what exactly is going on?"
Chen Deng waited for a long time, and then roughly told the story of Mu Shuang coming to Xuzhou and being arrested by Sima Yi when he went to meet Mu Shuang. Of course, many details were not mentioned. Finally, he said: "Originally, I wanted to tell Speaker Mu
I brought him to see the Lord. Unexpectedly, Sima Yi suddenly broke in and took the Speaker away indiscriminately. Do you know that Speaker Mu is the eldest princess of the Tianlong Empire and Long Fei’s sister? If anything goes wrong, we
Xuzhou…”
Before Chen Deng finished speaking, everyone shuddered. Long Fei defended his shortcomings, and everyone in the world knew it. It was said that for his brother, he risked his life and went against Gongsun Zan, known as the White Horse General, and because of trivial matters
, and they would not hesitate to turn against Yuan Shao. Mu Shuang is Long Fei's sister. If something happens in Xuzhou, they know exactly what the consequences will be.
"Hurry up! Let's go to the Military Advisor's Mansion!" Zang Ba did not dare to hesitate and immediately led his people straight to Sima Yi's mansion.
Sima Yi looked at Mu Shuang who was tied up on the pillar, smiled faintly, and sighed softly: "Actually, you are also a very beautiful girl. Although you are almost forty now, your charm is still there. If I use a knife on your face
What would you do if you made a few cuts?"
Mu Shuang looked at Sima Yi: "Have you wanted to kill me for a long time? I'm afraid you have had this idea since I became the Lord of Black Ice, even though your father Sima Fang still made the decision in Xuanwu Hall at that time."
"What's the matter?" Sima Yi said: "Why should our Sima family only be in charge of Xuanwu Hall? If I had become the Lord of Black Ice, the world would have been dominated by Black Ice."
"Even if you can unite the world, it will soon fall apart because your Sima family only cares about yourself and never thinks about the people of the world!"
"Aren't the common people just the common people? Looking at ancient and modern times, the emperor took the common people seriously. Qin Shihuang unified the world and built the Great Wall and mausoleums to make the common people look like ants. Or, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was a wise king. He attacked the Huns and promoted our country.
What can the common people do, they still have to pay heavy taxes and taxes!" Sima Yi became more and more excited as he spoke, and began to judge every emperor: "The common people were born to serve people like us! How can we do this if we don't even understand this?
In charge of Black Ice?”
Mu Shuang sighed: "You only see the glory, but you don't see the hidden dangers. Qin II died, and the Han Dynasty declined since Emperor Wu. The most important thing was Wang Mang. You said that if you become emperor, how many generations can the dynasty last? II
Or the twelfth life?”
Sima Yi's face was filled with anger, and his whole body muscles were tense. He suddenly lost his retort. A soldier came in and whispered a few words in Sima Yi's ear. Sima Yi suddenly relaxed: "It seems that the person who saved you has arrived, but it seems to be too late."
