Hong Ziyan didn't notice that Mao Wenlong's face was inappropriate, but Chen Lan did. Obviously feeling that Mao Wenlong had something in his heart, Chen Lan hesitated for a moment, and took the lead in asking: "Xianggong, but do you have something to say to us?" ”

Mao Wenlong looked up at the gentle and virtuous Chen Lan, and his heart was full of guilt. He didn't feel indebted to anyone in his life, but he felt guilty about the two daughters in front of him.

"Xiaolan, Zi Yan, it's spring now, and after a while, when the fleet is ready, we will sail overseas. This time, Xianggong left more than before, and I don't know when he will return, everything is still unknown. You stay at home and take good care of yourself, and you must wait until your husband returns, and we will be reunited as a family! Mao Wenlong's tone was heavy, and after saying this, he almost exhausted all the strength of his body.

Hong Ziyan's face immediately changed, and Chen Lan was also panicked. Mao Wenlong hadn't left them before, but he had never been so serious as he was now.

"I don't know when I'll be back? Xianggong, where are you going? Chen Lan's eyes were already moist, she had always been gentle and virtuous, and she would not be angry and corrupt.

"Xianggong, no matter where you go, we will follow." Hong Ziyan was much more direct, and opened her mouth to express her thoughts.

"No!"

Mao Wenlong smiled bitterly on his face: "How can there be a woman on the warship, and the vast sea is full of crises, and any accident may wipe out the whole army." Besides, if you stay at home, I don't have to be distracted, don't you say? ”

Reasoning with a woman, that is Mao Wenlong's mistake, I saw Hong Ziyan couldn't help but say, and directly shook her head in denial. Even Chen Lan, who has always been knowledgeable and courteous and rarely argues with Mao Wenlong, did not give in at this moment and strongly agreed with Hong Ziyan's method.

This can stump Mao Wenlong, and if he doesn't convince Chen Lan and Hong Ziyan, his voyage plan will be ruined if he continues to be entangled like this. For the plan of this voyage, Mao Wenlong has worked hard, if he is finally stuck here, he is really unwilling.

Looking up at the two stubborn women in front of him, Mao Wenlong had a headache. He can do whatever it takes to kill the enemy, but this has to convince the two women, and he feels that it is more torturous than a big battle.

Hong Ziyan didn't have such a good patience to wait for Mao Wenlong to slowly figure out a way, she walked over directly, taking the opportunity to get tired of him. used her coquettish killer trick to start grinding Mao Wenlong, which upset Mao Wenlong, and there was still room for thinking.

Fortunately, Mao Wenlong still has some concentration, and when he almost fell into Hong Ziyan's killer move, he kept his heart in time, calmed down and said to the second daughter: "You all calm down and listen to me." ”

Hong Ziyan didn't comply, but was pushed away by Mao Wenlong, and after letting her sit firmly on the chair, she continued: "It's about the safety of the Ming Dynasty, you are all sensible. I understand your feelings, but there are some things that must be done, and at most I promise you to return as soon as possible. ”

"Is this a year or two as soon as possible?" Hong Ziyan looked up at Mao Wenlong.

"Xianggong has the ability to predict when he will return, don't worry. Xianggong is still very young now, and the good days with you are still ahead, but he will not put his life on the sea. Xianggong assured you that this voyage will not exceed five years at most before returning, is that good? Mao Wenlong tried to communicate with Chen Lan and Hong Ziyan in a consultative tone.

Unexpectedly, after listening to his answer, the second daughter still refused to back down. Hong Ziyan even directly gave a deadline, at most giving Mao Wenlong two years.

This doesn't work, that doesn't work, it's a clay figure and three points of qi, Mao Wenlong completely broke out. His eyes widened, his face gradually became gloomy, and when he stared at the second daughter with some fear, he said coldly: "That's it, whether you agree or disagree in ten days, I have to go on a long voyage." ”

Dropping these words, Mao Wenlong turned around and left the courtyard. Chen Lan and Hong Ziyan didn't expect Mao Wenlong to be so ruthless, and they wanted to catch up but found that Mao Wenlong's figure was gone.

Leaving the small courtyard where he lived, Mao Wenlong still had a headache, he didn't think that Chen Lan and Hong Ziyan would compromise like this. These two daughters will definitely do everything they can to make their wishes come true.

Mao Wenlong of the current Ming Dynasty is definitely the first person, but there are many more who can restrain him. Especially Hong Chengchou's old fox, if Mao Wenlong was a little less vigilant, he didn't fall for the old guy and fall into his calculations that time.

"Haoda, you go back and keep an eye on the ladies first, and see if they have any unusual behavior. If you find any abnormality, you must report it in time. Mao Wenlong didn't reply to the command, followed by the vast.

"What?"

Haoda was walking with his head down, and suddenly heard that Mao Wenlong was going to spy on the two ladies by himself, and he was completely blindfolded, and he really didn't understand what else the two ladies had to stare at.

Mao Wenlong stopped, with an angry look on his face: "If you are told to go, what are you doing with so much nonsense." ”

The vast face was full of grievances, but he didn't dare to argue with Mao Wenlong, so he had to give up his life and leave.

Mao Wenlong watched him leave in a hurry, and then continued to walk towards the academy. If the fleet is going to sail far, there are many things to prepare, and arrangements must be made in advance.

Xin Wei, the dean, is really a busy man, and every day after the affairs in the academy are dealt with, he has to prepare for the fleet's voyage. Xin Wei, who wished that he could grow a few more hands and feet, was grabbed by Mao Wenlong and called to the workshop of the Ministry of Industry for questioning.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Mao Wenlong's eyebrows locked, which was an unusual signal. Xin Wei was very knowledgeable, and he didn't dare to make any moves, and after saluting Mao Wenlong in a proper manner, he stood quietly and waited for Mao Wenlong to speak.

Mao Wenlong stared at him for a while before he sighed and said, "Don't be nervous, what I'm worried about has nothing to do with you." Tell me about the fleet's preparations for the voyage, how are you prepared? ”

Hearing this, Xin Wei finally breathed a sigh of relief, and even informed Mao Wenlong of the preparations 1510. In fact, most of them have already been prepared, except for the more tricky matter of coal fuel, and only the soldiers who are about to participate in the voyage are left to say goodbye to their families.

"Chief soldier, everything else is almost ready, and there is no problem. The only problem is the families of the soldiers who participated in the expedition, they are not willing to give up their children, and they have spent a lot of saliva for this matter. But it also had no effect, resulting in the morale of the sergeants now being very low. Xin Wei smiled bitterly and explained the reason to Mao Wenlong.
