Hong Ziyan hesitated for a long time, but finally did not give Chen Lan a positive answer. Chen Lan also knew that this matter was not in a hurry, and besides, she was not really in a hurry?

After all, she herself is also Mao Wenlong's woman, and she always has some resistance in her heart when she pushes other women to her father-in-law's bed.

So Hong Ziyan didn't give her a positive answer, but she was slightly relieved, and she didn't persuade again.

Mao Wenlong got dressed and walked out of the bathroom refreshed, and saw that Chen Jisheng had already washed up and waited in front: "Jisheng, have other brothers come back?" ”

When they were in Kaifeng, Mao Wenlong and his team met three groups of Dongjiang troops who also returned. But when he returned to Ye County, he didn't find anyone else coming back.

Now there are more than 2,000 people who don't have any news, and Mao Wenlong is still quite concerned about this, so he always habitually asks every once in a while.

Chen Jisheng's face was full of worry: "Dudu, only a thousand people have come back together, and there are another thousand people who have no news." The subordinates have asked the brothers who have returned, and they all say that they have not met. ”

After a pause, Chen Jisheng hesitated and said, "According to the investigation of his subordinates, the 1,000 brothers who have not yet returned are all heading to Luoyang. ”

"Luoyang? Is there a problem there? Mao Wenlong saw something wrong from Chen Jisheng's expression.

Chen Jisheng said with a wry smile: "According to the rumors outside, it seems that there is a group of rogues who have fled from Hancheng in the vicinity of Luoyang recently!" My subordinates are worried about whether our brothers will run into them? ”

Mao Wenlong was slightly shocked, according to Chen Jisheng, he was completely sure that the two sides had met! Mao Wenlong didn't hesitate, and immediately ordered: "Go to Xu Fuzuo now and tell him to immediately gather two thousand elite cavalry and be ready to rescue at any time." ”

"Yes!"

Chen Jisheng didn't say much, and immediately went down to do things as ordered.

Chen Jisheng understands Mao Wenlong's mood, and has always treated his own people Mao Wenlong with all sincerity. This is also the reason why these old subordinates of Dongjiang are willing to follow him with all their hearts.

After seeing Chen Jisheng leave, Mao Wenlong went to find Liu Guangzuo and Chengzuo again, and asked the two of them to wait outside the city with more than a dozen subordinates. Once you see the Dongjiang Army coming back, you will immediately report to him!

Liu Guangzuo and Chengzuo also seemed to know the whole story, so after Mao Wenlong's order was issued, the two did not say a word, and after receiving the order, they led people to leave Mao's mansion in a hurry.

More than a dozen horsemen rushed out of the city, and the people along the street suddenly gave way, causing a lot of commotion, and the scolding was everywhere for a while, but soon these scolding voices stopped.

There was no other reason, because the people soon knew that these people who were riding on horseback were from Maofu. What is Maofu? That's a person who even needs to be tied to the county order, and a few days ago, I heard that the army outside the city was all under the command of Mao's subordinates.

In addition, Mao Wenlong has a good reputation in the city, and there is nothing wrong with the Dongjiang Army that usually stays in the city. This time, it was obvious that something urgent had happened to make this happen, so the people did not dare to insult at will anymore and kept silent.

Just sent Liu Guangzuo and Chengzuo away, Mao Wenlong hadn't returned home yet, when he saw Chen Lan smiling and came over: "Xianggong, the meals are ready, go eat quickly!" ”

Mao Wenlong was in no mood to eat at this time, but considering that this was the second daughter's heart, he had to suppress the worries in his heart and followed Chen Lan to the cafeteria.

Chen Lan seemed to see that Mao Wenlong had something else in mind, so she didn't say anything more during the meal, but finished eating silently.

Then seeing Mao Wenlong who left in a hurry, Hong Ziyan obviously felt that the atmosphere was wrong, and whispered to Chen Lan: "Sister, what's wrong with Xianggong?" Absent-mindedly, is it that our meals are not to his liking? ”

Chen Lan shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Silly sister, you have been with Xianggong for a long time, don't you understand that Xianggong is not such a person?" ”

"Yes, what's wrong with Xianggong?" Hong Ziyan got up and sat down beside Chen Lan.

In fact, she misunderstood Mao Wenlong's performance in her heart, which was caused by her failure to give a positive answer before. She thought that Mao Wenlong was angry that she didn't promise to give him her body.

Chen Lan obviously didn't notice Hong Ziyan's thoughts, but shook his head and said, "I don't know what is going on?" But it's definitely not because the food doesn't fit properly, if I'm not mistaken, it should be something that happened in the barracks that Xianggong is so anxious. ”

Hong Ziyan breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, and was no longer nervous, she left the canteen with Chen Lan, asked her subordinates to prepare a carriage, and then headed for the farm on the outskirts.

Since Ye Shaolong led the troops to pick up Chen Jisheng and them, he handed over the matter of crops to Chen Lan and Hong Ziyan, and asked the two of them to help take care of them.

The small village of about 20 households has been changed into a farm by Mao Wenlong's order. Hundreds of people from the previous villages were gathered, and they all stayed in this farm, specializing in potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn.

From the very beginning, Chen Lan knew that Mao Wenlong attached great importance to these things, and he regarded them as more precious than his life. So since Chen Lan took over, she didn't dare to be careless, and she has been doing her best to take care of it.

Going to inspect once a day after dinner has become a habit that cannot be shaken.

When the two of them arrived at the farm, Mao Wenlong, who had left unexpectedly and in a hurry, was here.

Mao Wenlong came in person, and the servants here came out to greet him after hearing the news, and he was asking the servants about the crops at the moment.

Unexpectedly saw Chen Lan and Hong Ziyan coming, Mao Wenlong was also quite curious.

Haoxiao, who had been staying here, solved Mao Wenlong's doubts, and he knew that Chen Lan had been carefully taking care of these things that were more precious to him than his life.

Mao Wenlong turned around and greeted him, helped the two girls down from the carriage, and said with a smile: "Xiaolan, Ziyan has made you suffer!" ”

Chen Lan smiled slightly: "What's the bitterness!" We just come to check it every day, and the biggest credit belongs to Uncle Liang. They look after the crops all day! ”

"The eldest lady is old, in fact, we haven't done anything, these crops grow so happily, it's just that these crops are easy to feed." An old man happened to come forward at this time, and when he heard Chen Lan's praise, he hurriedly became humble.

The old man in front of him, Mao Wenlong naturally knows, he is close to the age of six, and he is full of silver hair. In the relationship of perennial labor, the waist that should have been straight will be bent up straight.

The old dark face is full of wrinkles, and people in their sixties feel like they are in their eighties and nineties.
