The entire territory of Henan fell into Mao Wenlong's control within a day, and it was much earlier than Mao Wenlong's expectations, and it was much easier. Later, the Dongjiang army almost did not suffer resistance from the imperial army, and suddenly, those officials and defenders of the imperial court actually gave up resistance at the same time and all evacuated.

Mao Wenlong was very puzzled, but he didn't think much about it, after all, the general trend is like this, even if the imperial court resists again, it will only be a useless struggle. Perhaps Chongzhen didn't want to lose his manpower anymore, so he simply gave up resistance.

found a good excuse for himself, and Mao Wenlong settled down to take care of the situation in Henan. It is easy to occupy, but it is difficult to calm down. Just like now, less than two days before the entire territory of Henan was taken, the news of asking for grain from outside came no less than ten times.

Mao Wenlong was very annoyed at the moment, the evacuated officials of the imperial court were more bandits than bandits, and they actually looted all the cities that were let out. And they took away the rich families and the grain stored in the homes of the common people.

As a result, there are now more than a dozen cities, and nearly 500,000 people have to rely on the help of the Dongjiang Army to live. Suddenly adding so many mouths to eat, the Dongjiang army was already very urgent, and now it was even more anxious.

"Haoda, immediately send someone to Xuzhou and tell Ye Hong to find a way to raise food, in short, he must first pass the hurdle in front of him." Mao Wenlong gave an order to Haoda in distress.

"Yes, the chief soldier, the subordinates will let people do it." Haoda immediately turned to leave.

However, there is not much grain in Xuzhou at present, and there is not much left in Ye County itself, if they are all sent to appease those people, Mao Wenlong will definitely not have a good time in the future.

If you don't appease these people, Henan will inevitably be in chaos, Mao Wenlong can use a knife against the officers and soldiers of the imperial court, but no matter what, he can't extend the knife to the ordinary people.

"Alas...... I didn't expect things to turn out like this, you must know that if this is the case, Lao Tzu will still spank a fart! Mao Wenlong let out a sigh of helplessness.

"Xianggong, what's wrong?" At this time, Chen Lan walked in with a bowl of soup.

Seeing Mao Wenlong's sad face, he sighed for a long time, and couldn't help but ask curiously?

"What's the matter, there is a shortage of food everywhere now, and one by one urging me to send food over, it's annoying!" When Mao Wenlong saw that it was Chen Lan, he couldn't help but complain.

Chen Lan chuckled and comforted when he heard this: "Don't be too anxious, don't be too anxious, you can solve it by thinking of a way slowly." When we fled here from Dongjiang Town, we didn't have anything, but now we don't survive well. ”

Mao Wenlong was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Xiaolan is right, we all survived when we had nothing before, not to mention that it is much better now than before." ”

After laughing for a while, Mao Wenlong continued: "It seems that Xianggong and I have been living comfortably for too long, and even this blow makes me upset, it shouldn't be!" ”

Chen Lan leaned forward gently, grabbed Mao Wenlong's hand and said with a smile: "Xianggong, don't blame yourself, in fact, you have been doing a good job." Don't think about it so much, you've been staying up late late, and you have so heavy dark circles under your eyes, so come and drink this bowl of chicken soup and take a good rest. ”

The maidservant sent the chicken soup to Mao Wenlong, smelling the fragrant chicken soup, Mao Wenlong suddenly had a great appetite, he smirked twice, and unceremoniously picked it up and did it.

Wiping his mouth casually, Mao Wenlong smiled and said, "Okay, listen to Xiaolan this time, I'll take a good rest today and relax my mood." ”

Chen Lan looked at Mao Wenlong gently, always with a smile on his face.

The two stayed in the council hall for a while, and then at the invitation of Mao Wenlong, they walked around the courtyard outside.

As soon as the two arrived in the courtyard, they saw that Hong Ziyan also brought a maidservant girl over, and this maidservant girl was none other than the red lady Li Xiu.

Li Xiu was also carrying a food box in her hand at the moment, and when Hong Ziyan saw Mao Wenlong, her face was happy at first, but when she saw Chen Lan beside her, she was stunned again.

"Zi Yan, why are you here too?" Mao Wenlong looked at the food box that Li Xiu was carrying, and suddenly a sense of ominousness came to his heart.

Hong Ziyan didn't pay attention to Mao Wenlong at all, but came to Chen Lan and shouted intimately: "Sister! ”

Chen Lan generously accepted Hong Ziyan's courtesy, and then replied with a smile: "My sister also came to bring food to Xianggong?" ”

Hong Ziyan nodded, then took the food box from Li Xiu's hand and smiled at Mao Wenlong: "Brother Mao, Ziyan has boiled chicken soup for you, you should drink it while it's hot." ”

Mao Wenlong still didn't understand anything at this time, his eyes looked back and forth at the second daughter for a moment, and then he didn't say anything, he directly took Zi Yan's chicken soup, and killed it in one bite.

Two bowls of thick chicken soup in a row directly made Mao Wenlong so tired that he was unappetizing. The first bowl was just right to fill the stomach, and the second bowl was completely pinched and drunk, and immediately the stomach was churning.

Mao Wenlong endured the discomfort, and said to Hong Ziyan with a smile: "This chicken soup is indeed hot enough, with Lao Ziyan." ”

Hong Ziyan looked at Mao Wenlong for a moment, but didn't find anything wrong, and then smiled: "Brother Mao, do you still want it?" Where do I have a lot left, should I not go and serve you a bowl? ”

Mao Wenlong's face immediately changed greatly, and suddenly he held his stomach with both hands, and hurriedly ran away and shouted without looking back: "The chicken soup is too greasy, you guys talk first, I'll go and make it convenient." ”

When the sound fell, Mao Wenlong's people had disappeared at the gate of the courtyard, slipping faster than rabbits.

A trace of unbearability flashed in Chen Lan's eyes, but he didn't say anything. On the contrary, Hong Ziyan said angrily: "Find an excuse to slip away again, sister, can you mention the matter of your sister to your eldest brother?" ”

Chen Lan was stunned for a moment, and then remembered what Hong Ziyan asked him to do in the morning. A trace of embarrassment flashed on her face, and she said, "Sister, all the good things have been disturbed by you, and you came before I had time to mention it to my father-in-law." ”

Hong Ziyan paused, her expression was a little lonely, Chen Lan shook her head at this time, stepped forward and took her hand and comforted: "Don't worry, Xianggong has just had too many things recently, and he will definitely not forget to promise your father." Your marriage will be wrapped around your sister, and when the husband is busy for a while, we will handle your wedding with the father-in-law. ”

"Really?" A bright light flashed in Hong Ziyan's eyes.

"When did my sister lie to you." Chen Lan pretended to be angry.

Hong Ziyan smirked, and immediately became happy again.

Mao Wenlong made an excuse to slip away, and after leaving, he didn't go back, and he also understood that the second daughter would understand. Avoiding the second daughter for the time being, Mao Wenlong rushed straight to the farm, and now the food matter is the top priority.
