Chapter 413: I'm Not Ready
After Chen Jisheng thanked Mao Wenlong, he hurriedly led his troops to pursue, and 3,000 cavalry searched for the bandits along the banks of the Yellow River.
Mao Wenlong led the infantry to advance steadily behind, and at this moment he still held in his hand the letter that had just been delivered, which was sent from Xi'an Kuaima. Dealing with Chen Jisheng's matter just now, Mao Wenlong didn't have time to watch it at the moment.
At this time, Mao Wenlong was idle, and he opened it to see that the letter was full of nonsense about Hong Chengchou's self-blame, and Mao Wenlong rolled his eyes when he saw it. In fact, the chaos in Xi'an did not cause any loss to the Dongjiang army at all, at most it was only those rich people and businessmen who lost some spot and wealth.
In addition to these, the entire Xi'an is still intact, Hong Chengchou does not have to blame himself so much. Mao Wenlong skipped directly in front of him in boredom, and only found out what he was interested in at the end of the letter.
The letter ended with only one sentence mentioning that his daughter Hong Ziyan was pregnant and was now in Runing Mansion with Chen Lan and others, and that he had sent a large army to pick them up and take them back to Xi'an to ensure their safety.
"Zi Yan is happy!" Mao Wenlong was stunned for a long time, and he suddenly felt that this was very unreal.
Thinking that he had never been a father in his previous life, such a sudden situation did catch him off guard.
"Chief soldier, what's wrong with you? Is something big happening in Xi'an? Xu Fuzuo looked at Mao Wenlong's stunned face with a puzzled face, and thought that something big had happened in Xi'an.
Mao Wenlong read in his mouth: "Zi Yan is happy, I'm going to be a father......"
Xu Fuzuo leaned over and listened carefully before he suddenly understood, with a sincere smile on his face, and congratulated Mao Wenlong: "Congratulations to the commander-in-chief, congratulations to the commander-in-chief......"
As soon as Xu Fuzuo spoke, he was categorically stopped by Mao Wenlong: "Congratulations on a fart, congratulations on a fart." ”
Mao Wenlong was so panicked that he suddenly embarrassed Xu Fuzuo, and he really didn't understand that he shouldn't be happy to have a child? But Mao Wenlong doesn't seem to be the case at present?
"The news came so suddenly, I ...... I'm not ready to be a dad yet! Mao Wenlong complained bitterly.
After Xu Fuzuo heard this, he was stunned for a few seconds, and then suddenly hugged his stomach and laughed wildly.
Mao Wenlong laughed so loudly at him that he suddenly stretched out his leg and kicked it directly. Xu Fuzuo understood that he was out of shape, not only did he not dare to hide from Mao Wenlong's outstretched legs, but also took the initiative to lean his ass over and kick it.
Seeing Xu Fuzuo so acquainted, Mao Wenlong was a little angry, and said dissatisfiedly: "What's so funny about this, whoever is a parent doesn't have to be prepared." If you are not prepared, you will be happy! ”
Think about young men and women born in the 21st century, if a man and a woman in love suddenly say that they are pregnant, it is definitely something that every man is afraid of.
Mao Wenlong was obviously still swayed by the thinking of his previous life at the moment, and he unconsciously substituted for it, which would cause him to panic in his heart. I didn't know what to do for a while.
He forgot that he was now in ancient times, and Hong Ziyan was still his mother-in-law who was marrying Mingmei, and it was a great joy to be pregnant, and it was also a happy event that many subordinates of the Dongjiang Army were looking forward to.
After all, Mao Wenlong's strength is not to be underestimated, but he still has no successor, which is not allowed by everyone. They naturally follow Mao Wenlong in the hope that they can live for generations, at least everyone is working hard so that future generations can live a good life.
But if Mao Wenlong has no heir, then whether this hard-earned family business can continue in the future is a question that cannot be ignored.
"Chief soldier, that's not what you said! From ancient times to the present, who is not happy to learn that they have children. There are people out there who, like you, need to be prepared for being parents. Xu Fuju tried to suppress his smile and explained to Mao Wenlong.
Mao Wenlong was stunned for a long time, only to see him slowly exhale a long breath, and then regain his composure: "Maybe what you said is right." ”
At this moment, Mao Wenlong has come back to his senses, and he is also aware of his current situation, so he no longer feels confused.
And Xu Fuzuo didn't think much about it, he thought that Mao Wenlong was just overjoyed in his heart, or as he just said, the news came too suddenly.
The small episode did not affect everyone to continue to pursue the bandits, although Mao Wenlong was in a hurry to go back and stay by Hong Ziyan's side. After all, this is his first child, the first child in his two lives, and he has to pay attention to anything.
But he still endured it, and if he didn't get everything in front of him done, he couldn't go back with peace of mind. So, the only thing left to do is keep tracking them until they get rid of this damn gang.
If it is found out, this group of people has something to do with Li Zicheng, and Mao Wenlong doesn't mind teaching Li Zicheng a hard lesson. At least let him know that he Mao Wenlong is not easy to mess with.
In order to get rid of the tracking of the Dongjiang Army, the bandits used all kinds of means in the wilderness. Therefore, they deliberately made a mistake to deceive the people who tracked them, in short, although they moved slowly, they were always cautious.
And their caution did hide from the Dongjiang Army, buying them a lot of time to escape.
At this moment, after four days of hurrying, the bandits' team finally reached their destination, the bank of the Yellow River.
On the turbulent Yellow River, the turbid water of the river rolls eastward. At this moment, there were no boats to be seen on the river, and the leader of the bandits kept looking at the wide river with a pergola in his hand, not knowing what he was looking for.
After a long time, I saw him turn around and go down a high slope, and said to the subordinates beside him: "In a while, as soon as noon arrives, the arrows will be fired immediately, and then pay close attention to any movement, and let me know as soon as there is a response." ”
"Yes!" The two bandits in charge of guarding immediately responded respectfully.
The strong man turned around and looked at the Yellow River in the vast expanse, and then quickly returned to the group of bandits who were sorting out their horses and wealth.
"General, everything is all in order, what about these horses now?" One of the guards ran over and asked the strong man for instructions.
The strong man looked at the war horse grazing on the grass, and a trace of reluctance flashed in his eyes. Five hundred war horses is definitely a lot of wealth, and these war horses are in good condition, they are definitely horses from outside Cyprus, it is indeed a pity to lose them like this.
After some deep thought, the strong man finally made a decision: "Hold on guard for the time being, wait for the boat to come, and then see if it can be transported to the other side of the river." ”
The guards hesitated for a moment, nodded in agreement, and then retreated to arrange the horses.
The strong man looked up at the sky again, and a trace of anxiety had begun to appear on his face.
