The reborn abandoned woman reigns

Chapter 188 Submission
"Since you are so sure about this, then do as you say." Changsun Jingrong said with a little helplessness, "I just hope that you won't regret it in the future."

"I have never regretted the decision I made."

Looking at Sima Xukong's proud expression, Changsun Jingrong felt a little helpless, but also a little funny.

It was already dark, and Pan Shijie was sitting at the table, frowning, looking at a letter in his hand.The wind was strong outside, and the wind blew through the cracks of the window, making a whining sound, like a resentful woman, lamenting incomparably.

With a deep sigh, Pan Shijie put the letter near the candle and watched the letter burn to ashes and fall to the ground.

Just as Pan Shijie was putting all his thoughts on the letterhead, there was a sudden knock on the door. After obtaining Pan Shijie's permission, a young servant in blue bowed in and said, "My lord, there is someone outside Said to see you."

Because he still remembered the content on the letterhead just now, Pan Shijie couldn't help feeling suspicious at this moment, and hurriedly asked, "Who wants to see me?"

"This...that person didn't say anything, he only said that adults would definitely want to see him, and that he would be able to solve difficult problems for adults."

Such ambiguous words made Pan Shijie furious, and he slapped the table and shouted: "Are you kidding me, am I the one that cats and dogs can see whenever they want...I'm very busy now, drive that guy away..."

"But……"

"But what..."

The servant looked at Pan Shijie anxiously, and said, "They kidnapped the young master and said... If you don't see him, they will take the young master away..."

"What," Pan Shijie stood up suddenly, opened his eyes angrily, and asked loudly, "Why didn't you say something so important..."

The boy also felt wronged, he clenched his palms, and said with a distorted face: "Because that person asked me to say this, if not, I would take you away. Master, I don't think those people have any malicious intentions. But it's really confusing, so you can go to the front hall and have a look."

Hearing this, Pan Shijie hurriedly walked towards the front hall while angrily said: "If something happens to my son, I will definitely not let them go..."

Going straight to the front hall, Pan Shijie saw a stalwart voice standing with his back facing him. For some reason, he still felt somewhat familiar with that figure.

But thinking that his precious son was still being controlled by these people, Pan Shijie became furious, his voice condensed, and said: "Who are you guys, let my son go quickly..."

Hearing the sound, Sima Xukong turned around slowly, looked at Pan Shijie with a smile in his eyes, and said, "Master Pan, don't worry, we won't hurt the young master, as long as Master Pan can talk to us, we will unconditionally Release the little prince."

Seeing Sima Xukong's appearance, Pan Shijie couldn't help being stunned.To be honest, the man standing in front of him at this time was the most beautiful man he had ever seen in his life, and he was so upright that he really didn't seem like someone who could do anything.And when he spoke, his expression was open and frank, as if he hadn't done anything wrong.In such a situation, Pan Shijie couldn't help being stunned for a moment, not knowing how to judge in his mind.

It was Sima Xukong who spoke first, looked at Pan Shijie gently, and said, "There is a reason why we made such a bad plan today, and we didn't want to hurt your son and Master Pan. As long as we can find a quiet place to sit down and have a good talk , I can let the son be released right now."

Thinking of the uncertainty of his son's life or death, Pan Shijie couldn't help becoming anxious, and said, "What exactly do you want to say?"

"Talk about whether Master Pan will be a loyal minister or a traitor in the future."

Pan Shijie couldn't help being stunned by these words, and then, as if stepping on a sore spot in his heart, he asked with a bit of resentment: "Who the hell are you?"

"It doesn't matter who I am, I just don't know. Now, are you interested in sitting down with me and talking?"

Taking a deep breath, Pan Shijie had no choice but to compromise and asked all the servants to leave, leaving only himself and Sima Xukong sitting at the table.

Sima Xukong poured a cup of tea for himself, and even poured a cup for Pan Shijie, and said unhurriedly: "I have heard of Mr. Pan's reputation before, you are a clean and honest official, and you are willing to stand up for the people If there were no accidents, he could have been promoted to governor within a year. But because of the accident that happened later, Mr. Pan betrayed the court and followed Xu Zizheng instead. I guess Mr. Pan is right I regret the choice I made at the beginning, because with your temperament, you don't want to bear the infamy of treason. So I came here today to hope that Mr. Pan can reconsider this issue, and don't make mistakes again and again."

In fact, every word Sima Xukong said touched his heart.It's just that the other party is very familiar with him, but he doesn't know this strange man, which made Pan Shijie feel a little uneasy, so he used a fierce tone to cover up his uneasiness, and shouted: "What does this have to do with you, and who are you?" ?”

"I am the one who can show you the way." Sima Xukong smiled calmly and generously, his eyes flashing with wisdom, and said slowly, "Because we know that Mr. Pan doesn't want to go through such a situation either." Life. Although you want to get rid of it, but you don't know how to do it, what you need is someone who will show you the way."

Although Sima Xukong showed great sincerity, Pan Shijie was still full of doubts and said stiffly: "Hmph, since I have chosen to follow the Xu family, there is no room for repentance now. What can you do? You can even reverse it." Universe?"

"Getting you out of Xu Zizheng's clutches doesn't have to be as difficult as turning things around," Sima Xukong leaned forward slightly, looked straight at Pan Shijie, and said, "As long as Mr. Pan can repent now, I can protect Pan." Your Excellency is fine. And what you did before was just to find out the inside information of the enemy, and you did it as a last resort. As for your heart, it still belongs to the court, and all the infamy is just for the sake of the people of Longrui. .”

With disbelief in his eyes, Pan Shijie murmured, "Who... are you, and why are you able to do these things?"

Sima Xukong did not answer Pan Shijie's question, but said with some emotion: "Master Pan was a well-known official of Long Rui back then, but he was convicted and imprisoned because the late emperor listened to the slander. At that time It happened that Xu Zizheng was recruiting Mr. Pan. If you don't rebel, you will be imprisoned. Therefore, you will fight to survive. I understand you doing this, but now there is a chance In front of you, you have a chance to choose again, if you still help the evildoer, you will never be able to stand up again."

Pan Shijie couldn't sit still anymore, he stood up, looked at Sima Xukong anxiously, and asked repeatedly: "Who are you?"

Looking at Pan Shijie indifferently, Changsun Jingrong took out a token and said, "Longrui Ninth Prince, Sima Xukong."

Knowing what Sima Xukong did, Changsun Jingrong's face darkened immediately, staring at Sima Xukong coldly, and asked: "You are really not afraid of revealing your identity, do you know that doing so is too much?" Dangerous... If this person is unreliable and passes the news to the Xu family, wouldn't you be very dangerous?"

Sitting on the reclining chair with a relaxed expression, Sima Xukong said unhurriedly: "If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get a tiger cub? And among the rebels, Pan Shijie is the least cooperative. If he wants to claim credit, he has many opportunities." , but he gave up, so I think that Pan Shijie didn't really want to join Xu Zizheng, but he had to do it under the circumstances."

Seeing that Sima Xukong still looked so unhurried under such a situation, Changsun Jingrong was so angry that he kicked Sima Xukong's leg and said angrily, "Don't you know that you can do it yourself?" What? Regardless of whether this matter succeeds or fails, you are betting on your life from now on... Sima Xukong, are you an idiot? Don't you know what danger is..."

Although his leg was in pain, Sima Xukong grinned happily, looked at his eldest grandson Jingrong sweetly, and said, "Do you know that you love me?"

His expression froze for a moment, and Changsun Jingrong rolled his eyes at him, and said: "We are now grasshoppers tied to a rope. If you are in danger, He Nuo and I will also be implicated. So I beg you, think twice." Then go ahead, okay?"

Standing up and nodding his eldest grandson Jingrong's nose, Sima Xukong smiled as if he was coaxing a kitten or puppy, "Of order, I'll listen to what Madam says."

This man, with a playful smile on his face, did he really hear what he said...

The eldest grandson Jingrong frowned tightly, and just about to say something, Sima Xukong reached out to stop her shoulders, hugged her in his arms, and said with a sigh: "Jingrong, I know you are worried about me, but I also want you to have faith in me and trust me. I will not put you in danger."

Feeling the warm embrace, Changsun Jingrong felt that her impetuous heart gradually calmed down. She said lightly: "You want me to have confidence in you, but you also have to pay attention to your own safety. I don't want you to take risks. You It’s always like that, it looks like it’s organized, but it’s always a risk.”

"My lord, Master Pan..."

Just as the two were whispering, He Nuo suddenly barged in, perhaps the two people who were embracing each other were stunned for a moment, then turned around with a smile, and said, "Oh, it's really a sin to ruin a good thing for you two, you guys Go on, you guys go on..."

Just as He Nuo was about to leave, Sima Xukong called him, saying: "You boy, if you have anything to say, just speak up, why hesitate."

Rubbing the back of his head, He Nuo looked at the two with a smile, and said, "It's nothing important, Master Pan is asking to see you."

Hearing this, Sima Xukong was annoyed and funny, and said: "This is not an important matter, so what is important?"

"Compared to the sweetness of the lord and the lady, of course it's not an important matter..." He Nuo said solemnly, looking serious.

His eyebrows were raised, and the eldest grandson Jingrong gave a shudder when he walked in front of him, and He Nuo screamed miserably, clutching his head in pain.Seeing He Nuo's embarrassed appearance, Changsun Jingrong said: "This is just a small punishment. If you dare to speak nonsense again in the future, I won't let you off so easily..."

"Okay, there are plenty of opportunities to deal with this kid. Now let's take care of this Pan Shijie first. I think you will agree with me after you have seen him."

Hearing what Sima Xukong said, Changsun Jingrong became somewhat interested in this person, so he said, "Okay, let's see what this Mr. Pan, who can make even the Ninth Princes willingly defend him, is capable of. "

Sitting in front of an octagonal mahogany table, Pan Shijie was anxious. He knew that he had come to this point, and he had completely ruined his retreat.But he doesn't regret it, because he has already taken a wrong step, and he doesn't want to make mistakes in the future.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Pan Shijie hurriedly stood up, and after seeing Sima Xukong's figure, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "I've made up my mind, I've decided to follow the prince..."

After the words fell, Pan Shijie heard a burst of delicate laughter, which made him look in that direction, and he happened to see a beautiful and dignified woman looking at him with a smile.

Seeing Pan Shijie looking towards him, Changsun Jingrong hurriedly nodded to him, and said, "I'm sorry, I don't mean anything else, but I didn't expect Mrs. Pan to be so impatient, and I will entrust him to the prince for life just after meeting. But, are you sure?" Have you figured it out yet?"

Although he didn't know the identity of this woman, Pan Shijie believed that this woman was definitely not simple, and he didn't dare to underestimate her at the moment, so he hurriedly replied: "My behavior is good, I made you laugh."

"You can believe in this king and come here. This king is too happy, so why would he laugh at you?" Sima Xukong said while glaring at his eldest grandson Jingrong, thinking that this woman must be doing it on purpose, trying to disrupt Pan Shijie's thinking, to see if he really wants to submit to himself.

Sitting helplessly at the table, Sima Xukong said: "Since you have decided to submit to the king, then sit down and discuss carefully what to do next."

"Yes." Pan Shijie watched his eldest grandson Jingrong also sit down without any scruples, and asked curiously, "Dare to ask the prince, this is..."

"Oh, the king forgot to introduce, she is my princess, the Changsun family."

Upon hearing the name, Pan Shijie suddenly said: "So this is the famous Ninth Princess, whom I have admired for a long time."

Pan Shijie's reaction didn't seem to be a deliberate compliment, which made Changsun Jingrong feel curious, put his palm on his chin, and asked, "Why, has my reputation spread so far?"

"Naturally, the princess's bravery and intelligence have long been spread throughout Kyushu, and the deep love between you and the prince is also envied by many people."

This person really knows how to open his eyes and talk nonsense, where is the relationship between him and Sima Xukong?Even if you want to flatter, you have to find a more reliable excuse...

However, Changsun Jingrong felt that this sentence was too nonsensical, but it was very useful to Sima Xukong. He narrowed his eyes with a smile, and said lightly: "I didn't expect your eyes to be quite sharp. You will find out in the future. Your choice today is correct."

Sighing lightly, with infinite sorrow, Pan Shijie said earnestly: "The reason why I did stupid things at that time was to save the life of the family, so I agreed to follow the Xu family. If there is a chance, I can get rid of the traitors. I am naturally happy to do what I do. I also don’t want my son to be poked in the back and said to be the son of a thief. Heh, if we still live, we can live to the day when we can defend ourselves.”

"Now you don't have to be so pessimistic at all, because you met me, and I will change your fate." Sima Xukong smiled and asked again, "How many soldiers do you have now?"

"Not many, a total of [-], including [-] infantry and [-] cavalry."

"That's enough." The smile on Changsun Jingrong's lips deepened, with a smug look.

Seeing that Sima Xukong was so confident, Pan Shijie couldn't help asking: "I don't know what your lord's plan is?"

"A drop of water can turn into a sea. Now we need to strengthen our strength and dig the corners of the Xu family." Sima Xukong took out a map from his sleeve, slowly unfolded it in front of Pan Shijie, and said, "Xu Zi The location of the Zheng army is here. There are six groups of rebels who have surrendered to their lustful power. Now that you are gone, there are only five groups left. I don’t want to take the remaining five people for my own use, but they The soldiers under your command can be incorporated into your army. I checked and found that among the five, Wang Hu is the weakest, but his weapons are the strongest. We will start with him and seize soldiers and people. ..."

With bright light in his eyes, Pan Shijie said passionately: "It's very good, this is also the quickest and fastest way to absorb the number of troops. But Huangsha Town where Wang Hu is located is not close to here, we bring [-] troops I am afraid it is easy for the people of the Xu family to hear the news of the soldiers passing by in a mighty way."

"You're right, but who said I'm going to take [-] soldiers to Huangsha Town?"

"What does the prince mean..."

Smiling mysteriously, Sima Xukong said, "I only need 1000 people..."

"What, 1000 people...?" Pan Shijie frowned and said, "Although Wang Hu is not good at fighting, he still has 1000 soldiers and horses. Our mere [-] people is too big."

"Although we have few people, I have a way to make Wang Hu surrender obediently..."

Pan Shijie had no confidence in such a risky idea that had no chance of winning.But for some reason, looking at Sima Xukong's smug smile, he suddenly felt that Sima Xukong's idea was quite reliable.

"You don't need to reveal your identity now. You are still Xu Zizheng's subordinate to the outside world. I will accuse Wang Hu of betraying Xu Zizheng, and the Xu family will focus on Wang Hu. The next step can be taken."

Pan Shijie discovered that Sima Xukong's plan was really intertwined, and he didn't need to make any effort at all, as long as he obeyed his arrangement.Hearing Sima Xukong's next plan, Pan Shijie asked, "What is the next step?"

"Now you only need to complete the first step." Sima Xu rolled his eyes and asked, "By the way, what news have you heard from the Xu family recently?"
