"Wang Mang's head?"

Everyone looked puzzled.

Wang Mang died in 23 AD, which has been more than 170 years since then. However, this hundred years is not far from people in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, so everyone is not unfamiliar with Wang Mang.

"I have indeed heard that after Wang Mang was killed in his country, it was rumored that his head was collected by the Han Dynasty to serve as a warning to others."

Yu Ji frowned an old face and asked, "But few people mentioned this matter after that, and I don't know if it is true. Moreover... even if this head is indeed in the hands of the Han Dynasty, it is just a dead head. Is there any unknown secret that is not true?"

Everyone nodded slightly when they heard this, looking at Wu Liang with a gaze, waiting for his answer.

"I don't know either. I just think that this head has been around for nearly two hundred years. If it is still preserved, it must have used special anti-corrosion methods. Therefore, I was a little curious and wanted to see it with my own eyes."

Wu Liang smiled and shook his head, and said vaguely.

"I heard that when Dong Zhuo brought Emperor Xian to the west a few years ago, the imperial seal was left in the Luoyang Palace and was obtained by Sun Jian, who had attacked Luoyang first. Later, Yuan Shu took away the imperial seal, and now the jade seal is in the hands of Yuan Shu."

Yang Wanli then took over the conversation and said according to Wu Liang's wish, "I am also a little curious about this. The imperial seal is obviously much more important than Wang Mang's head. Why did Dong Zhuo and Emperor Xian leave the imperial seal behind when they moved west, but they never forgot Wang Mang's head."

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Liang also said, "I heard that the imperial seal was obtained by Sun Jian from a well in the palace. At that time, the imperial seal was put into a wooden box and tied to the neck of a maid who committed suicide by throwing himself into the well. Therefore, I privately thought that perhaps the imperial seal was not left behind, but Emperor Xian deliberately left it, but was just not trying to teach the jade seal to fall into Dong Zhuo's hands. After all, the person who obtained the jade seal had the excuse to become an emperor."

"I think Mr. Zhuge is right, and he is not as good as you, but only knows how to hearsay."

Yu Ji immediately stood in line with Zhuge Liang and teased Yang Wanli.

"You old boy can only follow the crowd. Why don't you tell me some different opinions?"

Yang Wanli immediately glared at his eyes and retorted.

"I don't have the same knowledge as you."

"You're afraid you can't tell me, right?"

"Why can't I say it?"

"Then you said, I see if you can spit out ivory in your mouth!"

"you……"

“…”

After two sentences, the two old enemies were already choking. Wu Liang felt that they were getting closer and closer to getting married on the spot. He saw that the topic building had already tilted to another place, so he had to interrupt the two of them, and then said: "No matter what, we travel thousands of miles to make more insight. We have never seen Emperor Xian or Wang Mang's head. We took this opportunity to meet the last time and have no longer been curious about these things, right?"

After saying that, Wu Liang pulled the topic back and looked at Zhen Mi and instructed: "Mi'er, I'll entrust you with this matter. We must find out where Wang Mang's head is now hidden. If you have the chance to bring it out secretly, it would be the best."

The skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is

Now there is a Prince Chamu in the army of the Zeren.

Every time this social awesome patient talks about these topics, he usually doesn’t interrupt easily, because he doesn’t know much about many things in the Central Plains and can’t even interfere.

If you could see Wang Mang's head with your own eyes, in addition to Zhen Mi, Prince Chamu could also use his "yin and yang eyes" to help you take a look, and maybe you would have a different discovery.

"But the ugly words are first said. I have never seen this thing before, and I don't know if it is hidden very deeply. Therefore, I can only order the fox servant to sneak into Liu Xie's residence to investigate in secret. This may take some time."

Zhen Mi responded, but did not say too much. "If it is necessary, I might send a dream to find clues with Liu Xie or the person who accompanied Liu Xie."

"It's okay to send a dream, but you need to pay attention to the right level."

Wu Liang suddenly said with a serious expression.

"What's the measure?"

Zhen Mi wondered.

"You can use methods such as intimidation, threats, frightening, etc., but you are never allowed to use hues to lure them, otherwise it will be too cheap for them."

Wu Liang said seriously.

“…”

Everyone was speechless. General Wu was protecting food...

It’s no wonder that Wu Liang would emphasize this matter. This is not the first time he and Zhen Mi met in a dream. They know that seduction is the best method Zhen Mi is good at. If they don’t remind them, Zhen Mi will probably use this method habitually.

Although it was in a dream, what I saw was a scene that was exactly the same as in reality. Just thinking about it made Wu Liang feel green on his head.

“Geehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Zhen Mi immediately covered her mouth and smiled, her eyes turned to Wu Liang, a hint of pride appeared on her pretty face, and she said softly, "That depends on the gentleman's intentions. If a gentleman treats me sincerely, I will guarantee that I will never use such means in the future. If a gentleman begins to mess around and ends up... Humph!"

...

The next two days.

Wu Liang and others lived a relatively stable life in Wenxi City.

Yang Wanli still went out to inquire about the news around Anyi every day, and Zhen Mi was responsible for the investigation of Emperor Xian and Wang Mang's head in the city.

It was just yesterday.

The forces near Anyi suddenly became much more stable, and the tense atmosphere was reduced a lot, because they also received an unexpected news:

Cao Cao, the governor of Yanzhou, personally led 20,000 elite troops to serve the king. He had passed Luoyang a few days ago and is now stationed in Mianchi!

Mianchi is located southeast of Anyi, only two or three days apart, which means that Boss Cao has arrived.

The reason why he did not lead his army to Anyi was instead stationed in Mianchi.

It should be that the complex situation in Anyi has been discovered. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, we are going to send an envoy to submit a letter to Emperor Xian. After Emperor Xian agrees to his request to enter the king, we will lead the army to come and make a legitimate statement.

"Young Master, should we set out to Mianchi immediately to meet with the envoy, so that we can follow the envoy to enter Anyi to meet Emperor Xian, and we can also get closer to Wang Mang's head."

After Yang Wanli reported the information he had recovered, he bowed and made suggestions to Wu Liang.

"No hurry."

Wu Liang pondered for a moment, finally shook his head and said, "First look at the movements of the envoy and the reactions of the forces around Anyi. Although the envoy led more troops than the sum of these royal joint forces this time, these people may not be able to easily let the envoy in. There are too many benefits involved."

Think about it and know it.

Once Boss Cao comes to Emperor Xian, he will be the most powerful force to defend the king around Emperor Xian, and he has an absolute advantage in crushing against either side.

In this way, the power will naturally tilt towards Boss Cao.

For those other forces who are tying the king, Boss Cao is equivalent to directly parading on their heads and taking away the power that should belong to them. This is naturally unacceptable to them. Therefore, someone will definitely find a way to prevent Boss Cao from entering Anyi.

I just don't know what means they will use.

I don’t know how Boss Cao will deal with it.

However, the possibility of fighting is relatively small. After all, the gap between the forces between the two sides is quite large, and the forces of the king-supporting forces are still very scattered, which is basically impossible, and they dare not have forceful conflicts with Boss Cao.

And before everything is settled.

Wu Liang doesn't want to meet with Boss Cao for the time being. After all, he still has to do something secretly. The closer he is to Boss Cao, the easier it is to be noticed by Boss Cao.

As for the credit, there is no need to say.

Wu Liang had previously disclosed Emperor Xian’s whereabouts to Boss Cao in time, and he had already made his first contribution. It was meaningless to make more contributions, but he had the risk of having a great contribution to the master... Especially when it comes to matters related to Emperor Xian, you must not be too concerned, as it will easily arouse Boss Cao’s suspicion.

Others may not know, but Wu Liang knows it very well.

In history, those who were too close to Emperor Xian or who gave advice to Emperor Xian were basically killed by Boss Cao, including the queen.

at the same time.

Zhen Mi's exploration work finally came to fruition.

Although she had not seen Wang Mang's head yet, she had already found the specific whereabouts of Wang Mang's head.

Just in the room of Emperor Xian’s current queen, Fu Shou, there were about fifty Hu Ben Yulin Army who assisted "Fu Shou" in guarding this object together.

In addition, there are two treasures stored with Wang Mang's head:

One is a snake-killing sword used by Emperor Gaozu of Han, Liu Bang, and the other is a pair of wooden clogs worn by Confucius.

This result was not beyond Wu Liang's expectations.

He just didn't talk about these two treasures to the people of the Jae Renjun, but he had already knew it.

Because there were related records in the historical books of the Jin Dynasty later: "The fire in the arsenal was transformed, and the soldiers defended it and then saved it. Therefore, the treasures of the Han Dynasty, the swords of the snakes, Wang Mang's head, Confucius' clogs were burned."

Similar records also appear in different historical books, all of which show that Emperor Gaozu of Han killed the snake sword, Wang Mang's head and Confucius' clogs disappeared into the fire more than a hundred years later.

The only objection among them is the snake-killing sword of Emperor Gaozu of Han.

Because one of the historical books gave Emperor Gaozu of Han a completely different ending: "When flying through the house, no one knows where he will."

That is to say, except for the snake-killing sword of Emperor Gaozu of Han who flew out of the arsenal without knowing where to go, all the remaining treasures were destroyed in the fire.

Wu Liang always reserved his opinion on the ending of Emperor Gaozu of Han's snake-killing sword.

However, when he taught Zhen Mi to help investigate the whereabouts of "Wang Mang's head", he had already thought of the snake-killing sword of Emperor Gaozu of Han and Confucius' clogs. To be precise, he taught Zhen Mi to help find these three treasures, but he took "Wang Mang's head" as an introduction and did not explain it clearly.

"Can you make the situation more specific?"

Wu Liang asked Zhen Mi.

"These things are placed in an iron box made of fine iron. The iron box looks simple on the surface, but it has a large copper lock weighing up to three kilograms. The key of the copper lock is carried by Emperor Xian Liu Xie, while Fu Shou is only responsible for the supervision and has no right to open the iron box."

Zhen Mi recalled, "These about fifty tiger and Yulin soldiers were divided into three groups to guard the house day and night. Unless Emperor Xian came in person, no one was allowed to enter the room, otherwise they would be killed... I only found so much, and most of this information was found from Fu Shou's dream. During this period, I also tried to enter the dream of Emperor Xian Liu Xie, but Liu Xie seemed to have some restrictions that could prevent me from getting close, so I tried many times but failed."

"It seems that it is probably impossible to see this thing by relying on some opportunistic means..."
