Wang Mang's patience had reached its limit. Even after his feathered eagle guards arrived, Li Mu was still ignoring him and talking to Wang Jian.
This made Wang Mang feel a great insult, but also made him aware of Li Mu's "growing up".
Once people grow up, they will have their own ideas. Once they have their own ideas, they no longer want to live the previous life...
What's more, Li Mu is not an ordinary person, but the emperor!
Thinking of this, Wang Mang stopped delaying and suddenly raised his palm.
The Feather Eagle Guards, who had already lined up and were on standby, saw that Wang Mang had given the order to kill, and they also drew their bowstrings to full length.
"Brother..." Seeing that Yu Yingwei had fully drawn his long bow, Bai Qi also shouted to Wang Jian.
At the same time that he shouted to Wang Jian, more than twenty other red-clothed soldiers also removed their meteor hammers from their necks, preparing to fight to the death.
The war is about to break out!
One hundred feathered eagle guards were waiting for Wang Mang's palm to fall, and more than twenty red-clothed troops were waiting for Wang Jian's order to charge.
The sun is like fire and the noon wind is like song!
Just when Wang Mang had already waved down his palm, Li Mu suddenly abandoned Wang Jian, turned around and shouted at Wang Mang: "Is the general planning to rebel today?"
Is the general planning to rebel today?
As soon as Li Mu said these words, Wang Mang suddenly raised his hand in the air and shouted to Li Mu: "Your Majesty said that I am plotting rebellion? Why did your Majesty say this?"
But seeing that he had temporarily diverted Wang Mang's attention, Li Mu felt relieved and said quickly to Wang Mang: "Why do you say that? General, Wang Jian just made it clear to me that they came all the way from Yuzhou
Isn't it obvious that you are here to serve me, but the general asked me why I said this?"
"What's obvious?" But after hearing what Li Mu said, Wang Mang also plausibly said to him: "Your Majesty has lived in the palace for a long time and is not familiar with worldly affairs. Wang Jian's coming to Yecheng to serve Your Majesty is just a cruel trick set by Liu Yu of Yuzhou for Your Majesty. He
Liu Yu can hide it from your majesty, but he cannot hide it from me. I am sincere to your majesty, how can I bear to see your majesty deceived by villains? Even if I am charged with treason and misunderstood by your majesty, I will definitely clear it for your majesty.
These traitors."
Although Li Mu didn't want to admit it, he had to admit that Wang Mang's words were quite clever.
He was so clever that he not only found a valid reason for killing Wang Jian and the others, but also explained for himself The reason for "rebellion"!
After all, Wang Jian just wants to say that Li Mu is blind and a stick!
Touching his nose, Li Mu pretended to be confused and asked Wang Mang: "So, does the general have to kill Wang Jian and the others?"
"I am terrified, but everything I do is for Your Majesty's sake."
"For me?" Repeating Wang Mang's words, Li Mu continued: "Very good! In that case, will the general allow Wang Jian to answer the question I just asked him?"
"..." But after hearing what Li Mu said, Wang Mang fell silent.
He was silent because he really couldn't guess Li Mu's intention.
No longer paying attention to Wang Mang, Li Mu turned around and looked back at Wang Jian.
"General Wang Jian, I ask you again, was it a coincidence or intentional that you brought people into the palace to rescue me?"
This time Li Mu's question was so direct that not only did Wang Jian feel very uncomfortable, but even Ran Min, Bai Qi and others also cast unkind looks at Li Mu.
At this moment, all eyes inside and outside the palace were focused on Li Mu and Wang Jian.
To be honest, at this moment, even Pang Juan, who understands Li Mu's thoughts best, can't guess why Li Mu insists on this issue.
"Return to Your Majesty!"
With all eyes focused on him, Wang Jian respectfully replied to Li Mu: "The reason why the general rushed into the palace with all the brothers to rescue him was because he heard that His Majesty was in danger in the palace. So..."
"Wait a minute..." Interrupting what Wang Jian was saying, Li Mu asked him in a deep voice: "General Wang Jian, you just said that you heard that I was in danger in the palace? Where did you hear this?
Where were you and your brothers?"
Li Mu's two questions hit home. Even Wang Mang, whose eyes were impatient, suddenly pricked up his ears.
"Back to Your Majesty, the general and his brothers were indeed very close to the palace at that time, but they only took shelter under a row of private houses not far outside the palace. As for how the general learned that your majesty was in danger in the palace
Yes, the actual reason was that I heard a palace guard who hurriedly ran out of the palace.
As he said, the last general led all the brothers and rushed to the palace in a hurry."
The palace guard mentioned by Wang Jian is Yanmen Lang.
And there is indeed one and only one row of private houses not far from the palace.
As for why this row of private houses can be located at the foot of the imperial palace, this is not something that needs to be explained now.
"Listen to what a Lang Wei said?" But after hearing Wang Jian's reply, Ma Di quickly walked to Wang Mang and said to him: "General, I'm afraid there is something fishy about this matter."
"What's weird?"
"Lang Wei! Isn't it true that the general came here because of a report from Lang Wei?"
But after listening to what Ma Su said, Wang Mang suddenly looked at him with stern eyes.
Facing Wang Mang's sharp eyes, Ma Su continued to say to him: "In a humble position, one should judge the matter based on what he said. General, please think carefully, what will happen if the general does not enter this palace today? It's nothing more than that.
Even if Wang Jian's surrender is successful, Your Majesty will give them a reward, and no matter what your Majesty's verbal reward is, it will still be implemented by the general."
Observing the expression between Wang Mang's brows, but seeing that his expression was somewhat relaxed, Ma Di also emphasized his tone and said: "It is so humble that one can say that even if the general does not enter the palace today, the life and death of Wang Jian and others will definitely be
It is in the hands of the general. And now..." .??.??
Suddenly kneeling at Wang Mang's feet, Ma Di continued: "General, I think this Lang Wei is suspicious. Moreover, if the Lang Wei who went to the General's Mansion is also the Lang Wei that Wang Jian said, then General, this Lang Wei will be even more suspicious."
suspicious!"
Wang Mang's face darkened, and he asked Ma Su sternly: "Tell me, why are you even more suspicious?"
Facing Wang Mang's face, which looked like he was about to kill someone, Ma Di said to him word by word: "Because the private houses outside the palace are on different roads from the general's palace!"
"General, someone is borrowing the general's sword...borrowing the sword...!"
"What a borrowed knife to kill someone!"
A voice suddenly covered what Ma Su said. Li Mu looked away from Wang Jian, suddenly turned around and looked at Wang Mang and said.
"Kill someone with a borrowed knife? Someone comes!"
Although no one knows what Wang Mang is thinking at this moment, Lu Bu, who is standing behind Wang Mang at this moment, Everyone saw the fierce light in Wang Mang's eyes.
Without Wang Mang's order, Chunyu Qiong had already gone to find Lang Wei.
While Wang Mang waited with murderous intent, Chunyu Qiong came back empty-handed.
Not daring to touch Wang Mang's sharp eyes like a knife, Chun Yuqiong bent towards Wang Mang and cupped her fists and said: "General... General, he is missing."
"He's missing?"
Chunyu Qiong's words also indirectly confirmed Ma Su's previous inference.
"Asshole!"
With a loud shout, Wang Mang kicked a black-armored guard next to him to the ground. Wang Mang pointed at Chun Yuqiong's head and said, "Look for me. If you can't find anyone, come and see me."
"No!" Seeing that Wang Mang was really angry, Chunyu Qiong hurriedly turned around and left.
"Wait!"
A loud shout made Chunyu Qiong stand on the spot. Wang Mang's eyes narrowed, and he cast his gaze on the monks standing under the palace wall and said: "Capture them all and torture them severely."
"promise!"
Another command!
Another general who came with Wang Mang waved his hand and led a group of black armored guards toward the frightened Yanmenlang menacingly.
After issuing two orders in succession, Wang Mang suddenly looked at Wang Jian again.
But seeing Wang Mang's cold eyes, Li Mu also took a step forward and said to Wang Mang: "General, now the truth of the matter is clear. I really didn't expect that in this Ye City, there are still such a group of people with evil intentions and evil intentions.
people."
"What your Majesty said is true, I didn't expect it!" Wang Mang squinted his eyes and looked at Wang Jian and replied to Li Mu.
"Who says otherwise? The intentions of these people are really vicious. They almost borrowed the general's sword to kill Wang Jian and the others without using any of their soldiers. I believe that the general will not do anything that would make his enemies happy or his relatives painful.
It’s about that!”
"Your Majesty is wise! I would not be so stupid."
Compared with what happened today, Wang Jian and others are indeed not worth mentioning in Wang Mang's heart at this moment.
But for being able to make that Lang Wei surface so quickly, Li Mu should actually be grateful to one person.
