Chapter 4: Big Lie
Under Mao Wenlong's name, Xu Fuzuo finally stayed, and Cheng Zuo, Chen Jisheng and Liu Guangzuo followed Mao Wenlong's side and fled the Dongjiang River with him.
In order to avoid being discovered by Yuan Chonghuan, Mao Wenlong and Chen Lan, under Chen Jisheng's arrangement, left Phi Island in a small boat overnight and found a secluded place on the coast of Liaodong to settle down temporarily.
The barren coastline is nothing but the sound of the waves.
Mao Wenlong and Chen Lan hid in a small cave on the edge of the cliff in the Gobi Desert, which Chen Jisheng had discovered by chance. Usually few people set foot here, and Mao Wenlong hides here, which can ensure its safety.
There was only enough room for two people in the cave, and Chen Lan was snuggling up to Mao Wenlong's side at the moment, with a burning fire in front of him. On the other side lay the big backpack quietly.
Since Mao Wenlong came back to life, Chen Lan found that he not only became younger, but also seemed to have changed a lot. Although Chen Lan and Mao Wenlong have known each other for less than a month before, they know each other quite well because they are always together every day.
Although Mao Wenlong in front of him looked exactly the same, Chen Lan always felt as if he had changed as a different person. Although Chen Lan was very puzzled, she also attributed it to the miracle of Mao Wenlong's resurrection.
After all, such unseen and unheard things have been encountered, and it is not a big deal to have some changes in personality.
"Xiaolan, this time I went to Henan Mansion to find a place to live, it must be dangerous, you have to think clearly. For the sake of safety, in fact, the prime minister prefers that you stay first, and then send someone to pick you up after I settle down in the future. ”
It's really inconvenient to be surrounded by a woman when there is chaos outside, and you will encounter danger at any time. Chen Lan wanted to follow him, and although Mao Wenlong was very pleased, for safety reasons, he hoped that she could stay first.
Hearing Mao Wenlong's words, Chen Lan was a little surprised! This is definitely the first time she has heard Mao Wenlong talk to herself so gently since she met him.
You must know that Mao Wenlong in the past, although he also liked her, Chen Lan knew in his heart that Mao Wenlong's preferences in the past were more about liking her beautiful skin, not people who really liked her.
In the past, even if Mao Wenlong wanted to talk to her, he would definitely do so in a commanding tone, and once upon a time he would ask for his opinion in such a consultative tone.
With his eyes open, Chen Lan looked at Mao Wenlong in a daze, and said timidly: "Xianggong, you have changed, and I don't even know you anymore." ”
Mao Wenlong paused slightly, thinking that Chen Lan had seen through his true identity, and his heart was instantly turbulent. Although the woman in front of her is beautiful, if she really recognizes her identity, then Mao Wenlong may only have a hot hand to destroy the flowers.
He is not the real Mao Wenlong, but a person who traveled through the next generation, which must be guaranteed that no one knows. A trace of murderous aura inadvertently flashed in his eyes, and Mao Wenlong's hand hidden behind him had already begun to touch the dagger hidden behind his back.
And at this moment, I heard Chen Lan continue: "Xianggong doesn't know, in the past, Xiaolan was also the eldest lady, and his family was also solid. But since my family suffered, my parents sold me, and in just one year, I was sold by several people's teeth, which was sad, how much suffering I suffered, and how many dangers I encountered. Let me understand the danger of this world, fortunately, Xiaolan was able to meet Xianggong in the end. ”
Chen Lan looked at Mao Wenlong, a warm smile suddenly spread on his face, and he continued: "It was Xianggong who gave me a new life and saved me from a miserable life in the future. In the past, Xiaolan thought that Xianggong just liked my skin, but now it seems that it is not the case. ”
Listening to Chen Lan's confession, Mao Wenlong breathed a sigh of relief, and the hand holding the knife was even more loose. It turned out that he misunderstood her, to be honest, even if Chen Lan really recognized his identity, Mao Wenlong really couldn't do it.
The misunderstanding was resolved, and Mao Wenlong's whole person was also relaxed, and he explained with a smile: "Actually, after I was killed by Yuan Chonghuan, it has been like being in a dream. An old man with fairy wind bones talked to me a lot, and finally said that he could bring me back to life, but he also had a task for me to complete. ”
In order to completely eliminate the wariness of the people around him, Mao Wenlong felt the need to tell a white lie. It is also necessary to prepare yourself for coming up with some strange things in the future.
"Did Xianggong promise the immortal?" Chen Lan listened to Mao Wenlong talk to herself about such a private matter, and she felt warm and curious.
Looking at Chen Lan's reaction, obviously convinced of what he had just said, Mao Wenlong was very satisfied, nodded and continued: "I agreed, naturally I can only survive if I promised." ”
"What task does the immortal want to complete?" Chen Lan's curiosity has been aroused, and he will be more and more anxious.
Mao Wenlong pretended to think for a while, and then said: "It's okay to tell you this, the immortal said that the Ming Dynasty will die soon." At that time, the world will be in chaos, and under the influence of natural and man-made disasters, the people will be displaced and miserable. And my mission is to save the people of the world from fire and water and establish a new dynasty. ”
If these words were left on the previous Mao Wenlong, he would not dare to say it if he was killed, the ancients' idea of loyalty to the monarch was deep-rooted. If you say something like this, even the most arrogant person will not dare to say it.
Chen Lan was obviously frightened, his pretty face was pale, his eyes were full of fear, and he exclaimed in a panic: "Xianggong, isn't this going to rebel." ”
At this moment, Mao Wenlong was very puzzled by Chen Lan's performance, didn't he express his wishes? Need to panic like this.
Coming from later generations, how can he know the thoughts of the ancients today, and he can't understand Chen Lan's reaction, and he can only say that he has not yet integrated into this society and has not regarded himself as a person of this era.
Fortunately, Chen Lan knew that this was the task given to Mao Wenlong by the immortals, and there was an ethereal immortal, so Chen Lan slowly became less surprised.
However, Chen Lan didn't dare to ask any more, she was afraid that Mao Wenlong would say something earth-shattering later. Her little heart can't afford such a 'surprise'.
After Mao Wenlong calmed down, he also began to realize that there was something wrong with his words, so he didn't dare to say any more. Instead, I remembered that I hadn't had time to see if the important things in my bag were broken.
Seeing that Mao Wenlong was carrying the mysterious backpack, Chen Lan asked curiously: "Xianggong, what are all the things in here?" ”
This thing appeared with Mao Wenlong when he came back to life, and Chen Lan kept seeing that Mao Wenlong seemed to attach great importance to this bag.
Mao Wenlongtou smiled without replying: "This is the food seed given to me by the gods, and whether or not I can complete the task given to me by the gods depends on what is in it." ”
While speaking, Mao Wenlong had already moved the backpack to the fire, opened the zipper of the backpack, and could clearly see by the light of the fire that there were sweet potatoes, corn and potatoes inside.
