Chapter 165: Principles
A bloody human head was placed on the table, and the entire hall smelled of blood, and the person who came over with the head lowered his head and reported to Mao Wenlong about the matter outside the mansion.
Then he stood aside and cautiously observed Mao Wenlong in the first place, who frowned and covered his nose with one hand.
The human head in front of him, which exuded a pungent bloody aura, Mao Wenlong still recognized it. It was the first time he was frightened by the archer, when he saw this woman with the archer.
Listening to the general statement, this is the head of the Fusang Sect Leader sent by Ren Tianming. Mao Wenlong has seen it, but I don't know if it is the leader of Fusang?
Turning his gaze away from the head, Mao Wenlong asked the general manager coldly: "That Ren Tianming didn't leave anything to prove, is this anything from the Fusang Sect Master?" ”
He replied respectfully with his fists: "No, that person threw this person's head over and left immediately." ”
Mao Wenlong hesitated for a moment, and then waved his hand to let the general manager step back first.
After that, he looked at Hong Chengchou beside him: "Do you recognize the Fusang Sect Master?" ”
Hong Chengchou shook his head and made a suggestion: "Actually, you can call Adou, maybe he may have seen it." ”
Indeed, this matter is an agreement between Adou and that Ren Tianming, maybe he can know something. Thinking of this, Mao Wenlong nodded, and then ordered Haoda to call Adou.
A moment later, Adou hurriedly came, and after the salute, Mao Wenlong asked him to identify the head of the Fusang sect leader. However, Adou didn't know any Fusang sect masters, so it would be difficult to do it now.
In the end, at Adou's suggestion, he called Qingfeng over again.
The general Qingfeng has always been in charge of the Fusang sect leader in Ye County, and he knows this Fusang sect leader. When he saw the head, he told Mao Wenlong with certainty that this person was the leader of the Fusang sect.
At this point, everyone breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, and while letting Qingfeng retreat, they also took the person's head down and disposed of it by the way.
Aomine did as he was told, and although the others were gone, there was still a strong smell of blood in the hall. It may be nothing to smell it, but if it takes a long time, Mao Wenlong will feel uncomfortable.
When he looked up and saw that the weather outside was not bad, he took Adou and Hong Chengchou to the courtyard and handed over the hall to the next person to deal with.
Mao Wenlong looked at the sky with his hands behind his back, and asked Adou without looking back: "The Fusang Sect Leader is dead, so Ren Tianming should also leave Ye County, of course, the Fusang Sect should also be evacuated." You go check it out now to make sure that Ren Tianming has left. ”
"Yes!" Adou received the order and strode away.
Hong Chengchou had a smile on his face, and said, "The matter of the Fusang Sect is also over, now you should focus on the outside." Chen Jisheng has been out for so long, but no news has come back, aren't you worried at all? ”
Let Hong Chengchou say this, Mao Wenlong remembered that Chen Jisheng, this kid, has been out for a whole month, and there is indeed no news coming back.
Mao Wenlong nodded and said, "Indeed, if you don't mention it, I really forgot about it, this matter is indeed a little strange, so I will send someone to investigate it now." ”
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside the courtyard, and I saw a huge hurried coming, and the people arrived before they arrived: "Chief soldier, Brother Chen sent a letter over." ”
Speaking of Cao Cao, he arrived in a hurry, Mao Wenlong and Hong Chengchou glanced at each other, and both of them had smiles on their faces.
Mao Wenlong took the envelope and opened it directly, and quickly glanced at it, but nothing major happened. Chen Jisheng said that everything is going well, and only a small number of people have responded to Li Zicheng's call.
After reading the letter, Mao Wenlong laughed out loud and was in a very happy mood. According to Chen Jisheng's letter, he believed that Li Zicheng had not been in Henan for a long time, and if nothing else, Li Zicheng should have fled to Shanxi soon under the pressure of the imperial court to join his uncle Gao Yingxiang.
Henan will return to calm again, and Mao Wenlong no longer needs to worry about being affected, and can develop Yexian County and agriculture with peace of mind. Recruit troops, train soldiers, and the comfortable life can continue.
"Haoda, tell Jisheng, don't be careless, and stabilize the hearts of the people of Henan. After Li Zicheng left Henan, his task was completed. Mao Wenlong put away the envelope and raised his head to command.
"Yes, Commander!" Hao laughed and turned to leave.
Mao Wenlong said with a smile to Hong Chengchou: "The general trend of Henan has been decided, if there is no accident, I believe that it will calm down after half a month, there is nothing to worry about." ”
Hong Chengchou also smiled and nodded, but he had doubts and hesitated for a moment, but he finally couldn't hold back, and opened his mouth to ask: "I heard you say just now that Li Zicheng will leave Henan in the end, what basis do you have for this?" ”
Mao Wenlong paused, this question is really not easy to answer, he didn't think about it so much just now, so he directly ordered Haoda, but Hong Chengchou, who didn't think about it, was still worried about it.
"What? Isn't it convenient to say? Hong Chengchou's face immediately turned long.
Obviously, in his opinion, this is Mao Wenlong's distrust of himself and not treating him as himself.
Seeing that the old guy would be angry, Mao Wenlong knew that it would not work without explaining.
"There's really no basis for it, it's easy to see. If Li Zicheng can't win the hearts of the people in Henan, then he will have no place to stand. In addition, the court has been chasing him, if he doesn't leave, he will definitely die! ”
Hong Chengchou frowned, and did not relent: "I know all this, I mainly ask you, why do you know that Li Zicheng will go to Shanxi in the end?" ”
Mao Wenlong, who was forced to be anxious, simply stopped hiding it, and said directly: "There is a Gao Yingxiang in Shanxi who is Li Zicheng's uncle, if he can't stay in Henan, then he can only go to his uncle, do you say this is the reason." ”
Hong Chengchou did not stop there, and asked again: "I know Gao Yingxiang, who calls himself King Chuang, and is indeed the number one person in Shanxi. But I'm curious how did you know that Gao Yingxiang was Li Zicheng's uncle? ”
Hong Chengchou had fought against these rebels in Shaanxi for many years, and he had never even heard the name Li Zicheng before. It was only in the past two years that he came out, and then gradually became known.
And Hong Chengchou dared to guarantee that Mao Wenlong must know less about Li Zicheng than himself. This can be seen from the meeting between the two outside the East City a few days ago.
And it was precisely Mao Wenlong, who didn't know Li Zicheng, that he actually knew that Gao Yingxiang was Li Zicheng's uncle, Hong Chengchou was very suspicious of this, he suspected that Mao Wenlong did not put his heart into himself, but still hid something from him.
To put it mildly, Mao Wenlong was wary of him, which made Hong Chengchou mind very much.
Mao Wenlong was very distressed, he couldn't say that he was from later generations, he could know the future historical trend. I can't say that the thing of crossing is killed, but Hong Chengchou in front of him obviously has a deeper and deeper misunderstanding of himself, if he doesn't explain it clearly, I'm afraid this old guy will not be happy in his heart.
After hesitating for a moment, Mao Wenlong said with a smile: "Actually, this incident is really a coincidence, you should remember the incident when we went to Hancheng to rob grain before, right?" ”
Hong Chengchou nodded suspiciously, he would never forget this incident if he died, and now he thinks about it. It was from this time that he sometimes looked back on a series of changes in his own destiny, and it seemed as if there was a big invisible hand pulling him, making him involuntarily.
"Remember outside Xianyang City, when you chased Chen Jisheng and them, and finally encountered an ambush and lost a lot of officers and soldiers, right?"
Hong Chengchou nodded again.
Mao Wenlong continued: "In fact, it was Chen Jisheng who met Li Zicheng at that time, and your subordinates were actually ambushed by Li Zicheng. You should have seen afterwards that all the officers and soldiers who were killed, even their clothes were stripped naked. ”
Hong Chengchou admitted: "Indeed, at that time, I already suspected that the rebels had done it, so I didn't continue to investigate. ”
Mao Wenlong nodded: "Yes, at that time, Chen Jisheng met Li Zicheng by chance, and learned that there were officers and soldiers tracking, so Li Zicheng began to set up an ambush along the road. And Li Zicheng saw Chen Jisheng and their courage at that time, so he had the idea of recruiting, and the two sides also talked a lot. Gao Yingxiang is Li Zicheng's uncle, and Li Zicheng himself told Chen Jisheng to know. ”
Hong Chengchou was suddenly stunned, and then naturally he didn't ask any more questions. The dark clouds in his heart also dispersed, which would be a little uncomfortable with the misunderstanding of Mao Wenlong just now.
He also clearly sensed that Mao Wenlong had already understood his mind just now, so he explained it so clearly. After planning for a while, Hong Chengchou really couldn't pull his face to apologize, and after a while, his face turned red.
Mao Wenlong is obviously generous, he is not as suspicious as Hong Chengchou, he says that there is no suspicion in employing people, and there is no need to suspect people. Mao Wenlong didn't want to let himself live so tired, since he chose to believe in Hong Chengchou, he kept believing it.
God is fair, if you treat others like this, they will treat you the way they treat you. Just like Hong Chengchou at this moment, after this incident, Mao Wenlong believes that he will never suspect himself again in the future.
Of course, the premise is that Mao Wenlong himself must not suspect him, so that they can trust each other and go all the way.
comforted Hong Chengchou a few words, and asked him not to be embarrassed, Mao Wenlong saw that it was still early and there was nothing to do in the house, so he invited Hong Chengchou to go to the farm together to take a walk.
Hong Chengchou happily agreed, and the two got into the carriage and went together.
The troublesome things are gone, the heart can be relaxed, and after the big things are done, this matter has to be put on the agenda.
After Hong Chengchou stooped down to become a subordinate general under Mao Wenlong, the happiest person was Hong Ziyan, a little girl. Especially during this time, she is becoming more and more like a hostess, and she takes care of Mao's Mansion in an orderly manner with Chen Lan.
The virtuousness of the male protagonist and the female protagonist, Chen Lan and Hong Ziyan, saved Mao Wenlong a lot of troubles, at least he didn't need to worry about it at home.
When the man is married, the woman is married, Mao Wenlong now has a place to live, and the development is not bad. There are also tens of thousands of troops under his command, and it is time to start a family.
The last time Mao Wenlong and Hong Chengchou made a bet to marry their daughter, this should also be the time to realize, Mao Wenlong brought up the old matter again, and also wanted to determine the identity of this old father-in-law.
Because, Mao Wenlong found that as long as he didn't mention it, Hong Chengchou had been pretending to be confused, the old fritter was the old fritter, and he still wanted to save face when he married his daughter.
In the carriage, Mao Wenlong smiled and said, "Mr. Hong, I don't know when Zi Yan's marriage with me can be handled?" I want to give Zi Yan a name as soon as possible, I can't just let her go on like this without knowing anything, you don't want to do this, right? ”
Hong Chengchou was slightly stunned, obviously he didn't expect Mao Wenlong to mention this at this time. In fact, since the last bet in his heart, he has acquiesced in the relationship between Zi Yan and Mao Wenlong.
It's just that he still can't let go of it in his heart, after all, Zi Yan became a concubine when she married Mao Wenlong. is a beautiful lady, or the pearl of his Hong Chengchou's palm, this marrying a concubine, Hong Chengchou will always be unhappy in his heart.
When it comes to family affairs, Hong Chengchou didn't say anything polite to Mao Wenlong, he said bluntly: "I want the old man's daughter to marry you, and I don't have any opinion now." But you must know that my daughter is a beautiful girl, and she can marry in the past, but you have to raise this position, especially not to become a concubine. ”
There is only one wife, and it has been given to Chen Lan, according to what Hong Chengchou meant, that is, to turn Chen Lan into a concubine, and later Ziyan into a wife.
Such a condition is that Mao Wenlong can't agree to it no matter how bastard he is, Chen Lan and him are a couple in distress. From the time he fled from the Dongjiang River, he followed all the way and never gave up, and Mao Wenlong couldn't treat her like this even if he was a bastard.
Without thinking too much, Mao Wenlong shook his head directly and said: "I can agree to other things, there is no problem if you want me to hold the wedding as grand as possible, but I can't do this thing!" ”
Hong Chengchou did not back down at all, and chuckled: "Since you can't do it, then don't think about this marriage." When you can do it, come and talk to me about marrying my daughter. ”
Mao Wenlong was immediately unhappy: "You are obviously cheating, and you are also forcing me into a ruthless and unrighteous bastard." ”
In the face of Mao Wenlong's complaints, Hong Chengchou was calm: "The old man doesn't care, the only requirement is to marry my daughter as a wife, and if you can't do it, you don't have to talk about it." ”
"You ......"
Mao Wenlong was indeed angry, he had never seen such an unkind person if he had seen shamelessness. Hong Chengchou is completely a scoundrel like this, and it can be said to be unreasonable.
was in a good mood, but now it was completely ruined, and Mao Wenlong was angry, and drank the horseman to turn around and go back to Mao's mansion.
couldn't talk to the old guy, Mao Wenlong decided to ask Zi Yan in person. He believed that the reasonable Zi Yan would not be as unreasonable as Hong Chengchou, and let Zi Yan communicate with the old man at that time.
Hong Chengchou completely ignored Mao Wenlong's anger, closed his eyes and sat in the carriage and treated Mao Wenlong as air. At the same time, he also showed that he did not back down in this matter.
As a parent, he felt that he was doing this for his daughter's good, so there was no negotiation!
