Chapter 252: Mao Wenlong's decision
The old housekeeper didn't dare to give Zhuang Yexiang a chance to speak, and as soon as Mao Wenlong asked him, he immediately replied: "Yes, Nameless Town was established by our young lady." ”
Mao Wenlong was silent, this Qing family does not seem to be simple, and they came from Kaifeng Mansion just now. This means that they must have a lot of power in Kaifeng Mansion, otherwise they would never have been able to grow into what they are today.
"What are you trying to do with this?" Mao Wenlong never believed that people would do things for no reason, no matter how big or small, as long as they were done, there must be a reason for it to do.
The old housekeeper's face was suddenly full of grief, and he also understood that this was a good opportunity to make a statement to Mao Wenlong, and he didn't dare to slack off. He said before Zhuang Yexiang could speak: "Actually, everything we did was just to take revenge. ”
Mao Wenlong frowned, such a reason is too ordinary, and of course it is a good excuse. At this moment, Mao Wenlong obviously still didn't believe what the old housekeeper said.
"The general soldier doesn't know that our Qing family was indeed the first family in Kaifeng City before, but three years ago, our Qing family suffered a catastrophe. Within one day, only the little old man and the young grandmother of the whole family survived, and it was the so-called rebel army that brought this disaster to our Qing family. ”
Two lines of crystal tears flowed from the old butler's cloudy eyes, and the old face was full of grief.
Seeing him look like this, but it didn't seem to be fake, Mao Wenlong hesitated for a while, turned his eyes to Hong Chengchou beside him, and handed him an inquiring look.
According to the old housekeeper's description, the Qing family's murder occurred in Shaanxi. And Hong Chengchou three years ago should have just been on an errand in Shaanxi, and Mao Wenlong didn't have much hope when he heard about it.
However, Hong Chengchou remembered something, and then looked at the old housekeeper carefully, and after a long time, he frowned and said uncertainly: "You are the old housekeeper of the Qing family, Qingshang?" ”
The old butler suddenly heard someone shouting his name, he looked up at Hong Chengchou with his old eyes open, but after a while, he still didn't recognize who he was.
However, he still replied truthfully: "Qingshang is the name of Xiao Lao'er, how can this adult recognize Xiao Lao'er?" ”
Hong Chengchou didn't pay attention to the old butler with a puzzled face, he nodded at Mao Wenlong and said, "I can be sure that what this butler said just now is true. If I'm not mistaken, I was in charge of the case at the time. It's a pity that the people who killed the Qing family were those rebels, so the matter ended up in the end. ”
Mao Wenlong suddenly said, according to this, this Qing family should not be an enemy of himself. After all, they are not an insurrectionary army, nor a court, nor are they a self-reliant force, so there is no conflict with them in terms of position.
"Then why did you send a great army against me? Don't tell me it's to get this nameless town back. Mao Wenlong looked serious, and simply blocked the excuse of Nameless Town.
He also didn't believe that the Qing family was making such a big move to take back the nameless town, if he wanted to get it back, Mao Wenlong believed that the night before, Zhuang Yexiang would kill him directly, and there was no need to go to such a big time.
"Of course, we are not here to take back Nameless Town, we just want to test your strength, whether it is as powerful as rumored." Zhuang Yexiang has completely calmed down, and she has regained her composure, and she looks much more normal.
"Test us?" Mao Wenlong suddenly became even more confused.
"There is no need to suspect the commander, in fact, our purpose is only to defect to you, but before defecting, we must determine the strength of your side. After all, we still have a deep grudge to revenge, so we must make sure that those who defect can outdo the rebels. ”
The old butler didn't hide it at all, and he also understood that when the matter came to this place, there was no need to hide it any longer. Faced honestly, and then only Mao Wenlong's will remained, and everyone was happy if they succeeded, and if they didn't succeed, there was nothing wrong with the current Qing family.
"Defected to me, but brought a large army to fight me, and this is only to test the true strength of our army? You guys are ridiculous. Mao Wenlong felt incredible, the battle between the two sides directly led to more than 10,000 casualties.
And these are just to test the true strength of the Dongjiang Army, if Hong Chengchou hadn't confirmed the identity of the old housekeeper earlier, Mao Wenlong wouldn't have believed anything.
"No, it's not ridiculous for us to do that."
The old butler suddenly became excited, and he said firmly: "It is a matter of our life and death, and these ten thousand ordinary soldiers are not to worry about at all. ”
Indeed, it is about whether they can get revenge on their family, and whether their ultimate goal can be achieved. It is reasonable for the old housekeeper and Zhuang Yexiang to act like crazy.
Mao Wenlong hesitated for a moment, and finally got the one who didn't dwell on this matter. He will feel surprised and incredible, and it is only because people have different aspirations and different concepts.
With a place like Nameless Town, ordinary soldiers are really unhappy for the Qing family. It's just some money and food, and it may be difficult to ask for something else in such troubled times, but if you want people, you really have a lot of money.
"Okay, this matter will not be taken into account by the general soldier for the time being, so let's talk about your defection to the general soldier first. Why are you so confident that this general soldier will definitely accept your defection? ”
Mao Wenlong had a wicked smile on his face, and his eyes showed a playful look.
The old housekeeper and Zhuang Yexiang glanced at each other and exchanged glances, and Zhuang Yexiang sneered: "We are so confident, of course we are sure." Besides, the current strength of our Qing family is here, is the general army not impressed at all? ”
Mao Wenlong shook his head and said with a sneer: "Just with the defeat of your tens of thousands of remnants, to put it mildly, this general soldier really doesn't look down on such a little person." ”
Zhuang Yexiang heard Mao Wenlong's words, but she was not the slightest surprised, she still smiled very confidently: "Of course, if you think that we have this bit of bargaining chips, then you will inevitably underestimate our Qing family." ”
"Oh, what other chips, you can tell them and listen to them, maybe they can really impress me." Mao Wenlong has always behaved tepidly.
According to the current strength of the Qing family, it is indeed extraordinary, at least in Henan today, the Qing family is definitely one of the best existences. But they can't escape the fact that no matter how powerful they are at the Qing family, they are never Mao Wenlong's opponents.
In the face of a force that has no possibility of defeating himself and has not been of great help to himself, Mao Wenlong does not need to cooperate with them at all, and can directly annex them, which is the most convenient and effort-saving.
