"Are you really Mao Wenlong?" Hong Chengchou couldn't help but start believing it at this moment.

Mao Wenlong nodded firmly: "There is no need to hide this matter from my uncle." Of course, I really like Zi Yan, so I will speak up to my uncle, so I also ask my uncle to fulfill me and Zi Yan. ”

Hong Chengchou fell into silence, and at this moment his heart was strongly shocked. Mao Wenlong didn't die, he was still sitting here talking to himself.

That's it, and now he bluntly says that he wants to marry his daughter. Hong Chengchou's heart was turbulent, and he couldn't sort out his head for a while.

But one thing he understands very well is that Mao Wenlong is now a 'dead man', that is, although he is still alive, his identity is not visible.

Moreover, there must be some grievances between Mao Wenlong and Inspector Yuan that he does not know. In this way, he has no reason to let his daughter marry such a person.

Hong Chengchou shook his head: "The governor is not dead, it is indeed gratifying, but I can't agree to the governor about Yan'er, and I hope the governor is not to blame." ”

"Are you afraid that I'm going to hurt you?" Mao Wenlong's eyes shone with cold light, staring at Hong Chengchou.

In fact, at this time, there is no need for Hong Chengchou to be polite to Mao Wenlong. As Mao Wenlong said just now, he, the governor, is not recognized by the imperial court now, and he can't see officials yet, and he no longer needs to have a subordinate courtesy to Mao Wenlong.

Now, Hong Chengchou remembered that Mao Wenlong saved his daughter, and he still retains a little respect for him. But Mao Wenlong's attitude towards him was so tough, Hong Chengchou naturally didn't need to be polite.

Hong Chengchou nodded and admitted: "Yes, as a father, you can't let your daughter jump into the fire pit." With your current situation, do you think you can give Yan'er happiness and give her safety? ”

Looking at the problem from Hong Chengchou's point of view, there is nothing to fault with his approach. There is nothing to say about his daughter, or for his own future.

Even if he is a saint, he is still a human being, and if he is a human being, he has selfishness. Mao Wenlong was very indifferent to Hong Chengchou's questioning, and said with a smile: "Uncle is really thoughtful. However, I, Mao Wenlong, am not a person who is incompetent, since I dare to pursue Zi Yan, I naturally have the confidence to give her everything she needs. ”

After a pause, Mao Wenlong continued: "I believe that my uncle should have heard the rumors, Yuan Chonghuan has been recalled to the imperial court, and now he doesn't know life and death. Lao Tzu established the Dongjiang military town from scratch in Liaodong, kept the Tartars out of the country, and made countless meritorious contributions. But as soon as Yuan Chonghuan came, he listed twelve ridiculous sins, killing me and seizing power, ....... ”

Mao Wenlong's face was hideous at the moment, his chest was rising and falling violently, obviously, he was very angry at the moment, and he showed his hatred for Yuan Chonghuan unreservedly in front of Hong Chengchou.

"Yuan Chonghuan is like this to me, I Mao Wenlong can grit my teeth and endure it, I thought that the court would give me justice afterwards. But the emperor's holy decree came down, which completely chilled my heart. Now it's good, without me Mao Wenlong guarding Dongjiang Town, you see how Yuan Chonghuan betrayed the enemy, colluded with the Qing soldiers to let them go all the way to Beijing, and now he deserves to be executed by the emperor. ”

"Nonsense!"

Hong Chengchou suddenly pointed at Mao Wenlong and snorted coldly.

Then he defended Yuan Chonghuan and said: "The pass that the Houjin army entered is under the jurisdiction of Liu Ce, the prime minister of Jiliao, which is indeed true, and it is also true that Liu Ce is under the command of Yuan Inspector. But just based on this mistake, he insisted that Yuan Governor had betrayed the country, so what was the difference between him and the Wei thief remnants. ”

The angry Hong Chengchou, whose reaction far exceeded Mao Wenlong's reaction, the cold light in his eyes was almost devouring: "And Inspector Yuan learned that the Jin army entered the customs and approached the capital, so he rushed all the way to the rescue, but many people in the central government thought that Inspector Yuan let the Jin soldiers enter the customs, so they slandered Inspector Yuan for colluding with the Jin army, which led to unjust death!" ”

"Unjust death?"

Mao Wenlong laughed shamefully and shot back: "How many years have I Mao Wenlong guarded the Dongjiang River, but I have allowed Jin Bing to step into the land of the Ming Kingdom for half a step." Look at the fact that Yuan Chonghuan has only been in town for less than half a year, and this happened, you dare to assert that there is no trace of greasy here. ”

The words directly made the angry Hong Chengchou speechless, and the person suddenly calmed down. Although Yuan Chonghuan and Hong Chengchou have not had much communication, they have been friends for a long time, and Hong Chengchou also admires Yuan Chonghuan's talent.

That's why when I heard the news in the first year of junior high school, I had such a preconceived thought, and I felt sorry for Yuan Chonghuan. In fact, he really didn't understand what the real truth was.

Now listening to Mao Wenlong's words, I also feel that it is not impossible. It is obviously not worth arguing for someone who has no vital interests in you.

After Hong Chengchou calmed down, he regained his composure and said coldly: "The matter of Inspector Yuan has its own court to figure it out, and now we are talking about my daughter, as for other things, I am inconvenient to say." ”

"Old fellow, if you can't argue, you can't argue with me, and you want to save face."

Mao Wenlong was slandered in his heart, but his face was smiling: "So, my Mao Wenlong is not as unbearable as my uncle thinks." In fact, my 20,000 subordinates in Dongjiang are now on their way, and I also want to settle down in this Ye County. ”

"You're going to make a home here?" Hong Chengchou, who was stunned, looked incredulous.

"What? Does my uncle think there's anything wrong? ”

"It's not right, it's not right! You said it yourself, you were wronged by Inspector Yuan, in that case, why didn't you explain the reason to the emperor. I believe that the emperor will give you justice, and then you and those 20,000 subordinates will naturally be reused by the emperor, so why not add officials to the knighthood. ”

This reason is very simple, Hong Chengchou definitely didn't believe that Mao Wenlong would not have thought of it. He now suspects that Mao Wenlong let the original 20,000 subordinates settle here, and there must be other schemes inside.

Mao Wenlong smiled and said lightly: "Although I, Mao Wenlong, am not a benevolent and righteous gentleman, I am not a useless person at the mercy of others. Yuan Chonghuan's incident has made me and my subordinates disheartened, and it is impossible to serve the imperial court. The only thing I dare to guarantee now is that I, Mao Wenlong, will never surrender to the enemy, and I will not care about the affairs of the imperial court. ”

After hesitating for a moment, Mao Wenlong still said: "Wouldn't it be happy to live a life without disputes in this barren mountain, and why do you have to work hard for those disputes, but in the end I don't know what will happen." Take that Yuan Chonghuan as an example, if he is wronged, then he may end up like this one day, and it will fall on my head one day. ”

Mao Wenlong's words once again touched Hong Chengchou, and he fell into silence again, not knowing what to say for a long time.
