Chen Jisheng came back, and with him came Xu Fuzuo and Liu Guangzuo, the three of them rode tall war horses and led three thousand triumphant old Dongjiang troops back triumphantly.

This time the crisis in Henan can be solved so quickly, Chen Jisheng and their contributions are not small, and now these three guys have returned safely. Mao Wenlong, the coach, had to go to the city to greet him.

Waiting outside Xi'an early in the morning, Mao Wenlong and Hong Chengchou were lying in the carriage, until a guard reported that Chen Jisheng had arrived, and they got out of the carriage.

I saw smoke and dust billowing in the distance ahead, and a group of cavalry galloped towards Xi'an quickly with the sound of rumbling horses' hooves.

Mao Wenlong took a look at the pergola with his hand, but he couldn't see anyone, and the sky was covered with foggy dust.

Years of drought have cracked the once vibrant land, and the dust has become more and more serious. Mao Wenlong was most criticized for this kind of weather, if it were not for the serious shortage of cement production now, he would definitely directly order the construction of a wide cement road from Shaanxi to Henan.

Now his territory has expanded to Shaanxi, and there was only one Henan in the past, so it is good to say that it can be delivered within a few days to deliver news or something. But if he still lives in Ye County, then if he wants to deliver the order to Shaanxi, I am afraid it will not be possible to do it in less than ten days.

Transportation in ancient times severely limited the imperial court's governance of the region, especially in the more remote places. Like Mao Wenlong's previous Dongjiang Town, Chongzhen's holy decree was issued, and it almost took about a month to deliver.

And when Mao Wenlong returned some news and went to Beijing, it took nearly two months to come and go. If this is in wartime, when the situation is unpredictable, two months is enough time to decide the outcome of a war.

The transmission of the news severely limited the emperor's control over the world, which is the point that Mao Wenlong recognizes most clearly as a modern person. He would never let that happen to him.

Build cement roads to ensure the convenience and rapid transmission of traffic, these must be put in the first place, and no sloppiness can be done.

Soon after, Chen Jisheng arrived with a smile on his face, and a few meters away, he honestly stopped his horse, and walked to Mao Wenlong with Xu Fuyu and Liu Guangzuo, and saluted with his fists.

"The last general, Chen Jisheng, Xu Fuzuo, Liu Guangzuo, see the general army!" The three shouted in unison.

Mao Wenlong's eyes patrolled the three of them, and in just two months, Mao Wenlong found that the three of them had a lot of changes. The most obvious thing at a glance is that the three of them have ruddy faces, and their bodies seem to be a little more blessed than before. Especially Chen Jisheng, this guy is extremely obvious, his armor has obviously been changed to a large one, and when he wears it, it can be seen that his figure is already a little bloated.

"It seems that the three of you have a very good life in Xiangyang City!" Mao Wenlong became angry as soon as he opened his mouth.

In fact, it's no wonder that Mao Wenlong was angry, after all, the three of them went to Xiangyang City alone, and later learned that they actually broke into the city unexpectedly. Although Mao Wenlong was happy, he was also very worried about their safety.

But because Chen Jisheng was deep into the enemy's territory, it was not easy to send the news back. There has been no news from them for almost two months, and Mao Wenlong is naturally worried.

What I didn't expect was that these three guys all had ruddy faces and fat figures, where there was a little bit of hardship. At least, Mao Wenlong felt that these days had been more nourishing than he should be.

Chen Jisheng's face has always been the thickest, and he didn't care at all when he heard Mao Wenlong's squeezing, so he actually said with a smirk: "Thanks to the chief soldier Hongfu, we have a fairly good time in Xianyang City." ”

Mao Wenlong was embarrassed by Chen Jisheng, and laughed angrily on the spot, there is no need to be polite to this guy at all.

Mao Wenlong thought about it together, and immediately flew up and kicked Chen Jisheng's thigh fiercely. This guy could have easily dodged, but Chen Jisheng didn't dodge or dodge, he took a hard kick, and then fell to the ground very cooperatively, and didn't forget to compliment in his mouth: "I haven't seen you for two months, the general army is still heroic, and the kung fu has actually progressed like this, and my subordinates really admire it." ”

People have vanity, and Mao Wenlong is no exception, he was complimented by Chen Jisheng, the first person in the army, and he also felt fluttering. The stuffiness in my heart has long since disappeared.

Although he has decided to let Chen Jisheng go in his heart, he has to continue to pretend. Mao Wenlong glanced behind the three of them and said, "This time you have lived in Xiangyang City for so long, when you come back, you won't even bring back some local specialties, right?" ”

Speaking of this, Chen Jisheng became proud again, he smiled and bowed his head and whispered in Mao Wenlong's ear: "Don't worry, the chief soldier is back this time, and his subordinates have brought many local specialties to the general soldier, and I guarantee that the chief soldier will be satisfied." ”

Mao Wenlong glanced at the dozen or so carriages in the army that were wrapped in oilcloth very tightly, and said with interest: "Since this is the case, then let's go to the city first." ”

After returning to the carriage, Mao Wenlong immediately ordered to enter the city, and his carriage slowly marched in front. Chen Jisheng and others followed closely with more than a dozen carriages full of unknown things.

After the 3,000 entourage entered the city, Cheng Zuo was responsible for arranging for them to rest, and only nearly 100 guards continued to escort the carriage to Mao's mansion.

In the front yard of Mao's house, there are more than 40 large wooden boxes placed in the center of the lobby. Chen Jisheng strode up and personally opened the locks of all the wooden boxes, and when the wooden boxes were opened, there was a sudden sigh in the hall!

Mao Wenlong walked quickly to the front of a wooden box, took out a gold brick from the box with his own hands, and his hand was very heavy, he estimated that it should be about a catty: "This whole box is this kind of gold brick?" ”

Chen Jisheng said proudly: "Chief soldier, there are three boxes of gold bricks here, a total of 500 gold bricks. The rest was a million taels of silver and some scattered gold and silver jewelry, ornaments and the like. ”

Mao Wenlong was slightly surprised: "These are all obtained from Xiangyang City?" ”

Chen Jisheng didn't dare to hide it, and said with a smile: "Some were searched from the official homes in Xiangyang City, and some were on the way back, and some were obtained by eliminating some bandits blocking the road and looting their lair. ”

Mao Wenlong was very surprised, if all these things were converted into silver, it should be enough to be several million taels. This is not a small amount, it is completely enough for a year in Henan today.

"Smack!"

Mao Wenlong casually threw the gold bricks back into the box, and then shouted outside the door: "Haoda, immediately go and ask Madame and Miss Zi Yan, let the two of them count in person, and then send all the things to the treasury in the mansion." ”
