Chapter 1282: The Ghost Lingers
The Dark Guard Battalion killed more than 10,000 enemies this time, only 600 were killed and more than 2,000 were wounded, and this result was perfect. But Adou was dissatisfied with this, and felt that it was a shame for the Dark Guard Battalion. In his opinion, the Dark Guard Battalion's ambush was completely prepared, calculated or unintentional, but it still caused such casualties, and it is indeed not glorious to achieve such results now.
Mao Wenlong didn't think about it so much, and the casualties of the Dark Guard Battalion were also within the range he accepted. Defusing a great upheaval at such a small cost, the result is nothing to be faulty about, quite satisfying.
Looking at Adou's unwillingness, Mao Wenlong smiled and comforted: "The open and secret battle with the Sun and Moon Sect has just begun, why should you be worried about the result this time." There are many opportunities to deal with the Sun and Moon Sect in the future, so summarize the experience and make the Dark Guard Camp stronger! ”
Adou was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and after coming over suddenly, he thanked Mao Wenlong for his teachings with a sincere face.
Mao Wenlong nodded with satisfaction and waved back Adou, only Mao Jingwen and Mao Wenlong's father and son were left in the study. After thinking for a while, Mao Jingwen said worriedly: "Father, the Sun Moon Sect has suffered such heavy losses this time, that Bai Jiang will definitely not stop there, should we take strict precautions and not let accidents happen?" ”
Squinting at the emperor with a worried look on his face, Mao Wenlong shook his head and smiled: "Nanjing is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and it is your territory, why are you so unconfident in yourself." Just a sun and moon sect will make you nervous like this, don't increase the ambition of others and destroy your own prestige! ”
In the face of his father's fall, Mao Jingwen was very helpless, he explained with a wry smile: "The emperor has never been afraid of any enemy, but the Sun Moon Sect has not yet understood its details, and no matter how powerful the enemy is, it is not the opponent of the Dongjiang Army. But the enemy hiding in the shadows can't be guarded, which is one of the reasons why the emperor is most worried. ”
Mao Wenlong disagreed, saying: "The Sun Moon Sect has mobilized more than 10,000 members to rush to Nanjing in just a few days, and it is indeed not a good match. Their whereabouts are not currently under the control of the Secret Guard, and they are indeed a nuisance. But they are always little rats who can't see the light, as long as their whereabouts are controlled by the secret guard camp, they don't have to worry, so the emperor doesn't have to worry too much. ”
Hearing Mao Wenlong's explanation, Mao Jingwen was indeed a lot more relieved, and then sincerely saluted Mao Wenlong and expressed his agreement!
At this moment, it was dinner time, and an attendant came to report that it was time to eat. Mao Wenlong did not delay moving to the harem with Mao Jingwen, and the family sat around and reunited.
There were originally a lot of rules in the palace, but Mao Wenlong never paid attention to these here, how happy he was. Thanks to his supreme prestige, there was no trouble for the ministers of the Ministry of Rites to come to him.
After dinner, Mao Wenlong met Adou at his residence, and Chen Jisheng's letter was in Mao Wenlong's hand, and at this moment he was full of smiles and seemed to be in a good mood.
After a while, Mao Wenlong put down the letter paper in his hand and said with a smile: "The first batch of students from Luzon will arrive in Daming next month. ”
Adou smiled with him, and then said uncertainly: "It's just that the academy may not be able to accept these students from afar in time." ”
Mao Wenlong was stunned for a moment, and then said indifferently: "Xin Wei has to work on the rest of the things, don't bother yourself!" ”
Adou was immediately stunned, feeling a little upset for Xin Wei, but he didn't dare to say anything. After all, it was Xin Wei who was in charge, and it had nothing to do with him.
The two talked about the aftermath of the Sun Moon Sect again, and Adou resigned. Mao Wenlong was the only one left in the house, seeing that it was not early, and he was about to rest in his clothes, but a familiar voice suddenly came from the window: "Bai Jiang meets the chief soldier!" ”
Mao Wenlong was slightly frightened when he heard the sound, and suddenly turned to look at Bai Jiang who was standing proudly at the window, and his face suddenly became gloomy. Mao Wenlong never imagined that Bai Jiang would be able to easily find his own residence in the imperial city as if he were in a no-man's land.
The panicked face was hidden as fast as possible, Mao Wenlong didn't know if Bai Jiang was aware of his panic, he used the fastest speed to recover as usual, and then he spoke: "Sect Master Bai's skills are really extraordinary, he can actually enter the imperial city at night like a leisurely stroll, quietly!" ”
Being able to be praised by the opponent he admired, Bai Jiang seemed very useful, and he didn't care whether Mao Wenlong's praise just now was sincere, and responded with a toothy smile: "It is Bai's honor to be praised by the general soldier, and for Bai, it just takes a little more effort to come in." ”
10,000 members of the sect were wiped out by the secret guard camp in one day, Bai Jiang was shocked when he heard the news, and he also began to pay attention to the strength of the imperial court. And tonight, he did not hesitate to venture into the imperial city and came to meet Mao Wenlong, so he naturally came with a purpose.
Mao Wenlong looked at Bai Jiang's pride in his eyes, and felt very unhappy, but this was obviously not the time to worry about these things with him. Mao Wenlong didn't have any guards by his side, and when he couldn't protect himself, he naturally didn't want to irritate Bai Jiang.
After thinking for a while, Mao Wenlong's demeanor returned to ease, and he said lightly: "I don't know why Sect Master Bai came to visit late at night?" ”
At the mention of business, Bai Jiang's expression immediately became serious, and he said in a deep voice: "Bai took the liberty to visit, naturally he came for the sake of wanting to form an alliance with the general army before. ”
Mao Wenlong frowned: "There is nothing negotiable about the alliance, and the general army of Luzon will definitely not give it up." Although your Sun Moon Sect is strong, our Dongjiang Army can easily take down any small country without your help. ”
Bai Jiang's face changed slightly, and a wave of anger surged in his heart, but this anger was quickly suppressed by him. After calming down, Bai Jiang replied coldly: "Isn't there any room for negotiation in the general army?" ”
Mao Wenlong said very resolutely: "No! ”
Bai Jiang's face became deeper and deeper, his fists were already clenched at this moment, and he could attack Mao Wenlong at any time. And Mao Wenlong naturally felt the threat from Bai Jiang, his right hand had reached into his arms at this moment, holding the butt of the gun hidden inside, as long as he found any abnormal behavior of Bai Jiang, Mao Wenlong would definitely shoot at Bai Jiang without hesitation.
As if feeling Mao Wenlong's vigilance, Bai Jiang slowly put away the resentment emanating from his body, and said to Mao Wenlong coldly: "This time the Sun and Moon Sect was defeated, Bai Mou thought that he was invincible, but if the chief soldier thought that this would make Bai retreat, it could only be said that the chief soldier was too self-righteous. ”
After finishing speaking, Bai Jiang didn't say a word, suddenly turned around and jumped out of the window, and then disappeared into the night with a flash. And when Bai Jiang left, the door was slammed open, and Adou led dozens of secretly rushed in.
