Chapter 856: Visiting Old Friends
The Ming Dynasty was unified, and Mao Wenlong could have completed his mission, and he could have enjoyed the leisurely life he had never forgotten before. However, it was found that there are still many unfinished things on the sea, in fact, if you want to really count it, today's Ming Dynasty is far from completing the unification.
Moreover, the threat from the sea is the key to the future generations that will really make this thousand-year-old civilization almost never turn over. Mao Wenlong is very sure of this, after all, although the country in later generations has become stronger, it is still oppressed by other countries.
It's rare to be lucky enough to come back, how could such a regret happen to him again. Mao Wenlong's ambition to build an invincible navy has never been swelled at this moment.
And at this moment, Hong Chengchou was pestering himself, in order to understand the confusion in his happiness, Mao Wenlong was entangled and had no choice but to answer truthfully: "Sir, don't forget that there is another person in this world, who was originally the first person in the world." Do you think he doesn't have any secrets? ”
Hong Chengchou was stunned for a long time, and then he suddenly came over, and exclaimed: "The chief soldier said that the emperor was ......."
Mao Wenlong didn't wait for Hong Chengchou to finish speaking, then nodded and said with a smile: "Indeed, now that the unification has been completed as desired, it is time to go and see him!" ”
Hong Chengchou heard that Mao Wenlong was going to meet Chongzhen, he hesitated for a while, and asked cautiously: "The general soldier is going to see the emperor, I wonder if the lower officials can follow him?" ”
Mao Wenlong glanced at him, hesitated, nodded and smiled with relief: "Yes." ”
Hong Chengchou's old face immediately smiled and thanked him!
The war in the south is over, and the Dongjiang Army and local officials are busy recovering from the chaos after the war. And Mao Wenlong and Hong Chengchou quietly went to Wutai Mountain with Haoda and Haoxiao and hundreds of secret guards.
After more than ten days, the group finally arrived at the foot of Wutai Mountain, Mao Wenlong got off the carriage, looked up at the towering main peak, and was in a very cheerful mood.
Hong Chengchou stood quietly beside Mao Wenlong, his eyes did not pay attention to the beautiful scenery here, but were attracted by the few people in the pavilion at the foot of the mountain.
In the pavilion at the foot of the mountain, it was Wu Chengen and more than a dozen guards who were waiting here early. After Mao Wenlong unified the entire south, he immediately repaired the book and sent it to Chongzhen, informing him of everything. and asked to come and meet him.
Chongzhen didn't refuse, he replied to Mao Wenlong very quickly. At this moment, Mao Wenlong arrived, but Chongzhen did not come down to greet him in person, but only sent Wu Chengen to greet him.
Before Mao Wenlong could finish enjoying the beautiful scenery in front of him, Wu Chengen had already hurried over with the guards. As soon as the sharp voice opened, he said: "The general army is coming, the master has prepared a thin wine in the cold house, please go with the old slave." ”
"But ......"
Wu Chengen's eyes began to patrol the hundreds of secret guards behind Mao Wenlong, obviously hoping that Mao Wenlong would not bring these people with him.
Mao Wenlong saw Wu Chengen's expression, and immediately understood, he turned around without care, and ordered to those secret guards: "You can just rest and wait on the spot, you don't have to follow." ”
Adou is the head of these secret guards, and after he heard this, he immediately persuaded: "Chief soldier, your safety ......"
Mao Wenlong didn't wait for Adou to finish speaking, and waved his hand to stop him: "Needless to say, do what I just said." ”
Adou hesitated for a moment, but still insisted: "It's okay for the dark guard to stay, but the subordinates must follow the side of the chief soldier." ”
Mao Wenlong didn't have too much argument with Adou, he just nodded and agreed. And Wu Chengen also knows each other, so he naturally understands that Mao Wenlong will not even bring a guard.
In the end, Mao Wenlong only took Hong Chengchou, Adou, Haoda and Haoxiao, and the five of them followed Wu Chengen and they walked towards the vast mountain.
After walking for nearly an hour, I finally saw a quiet small courtyard in a hidden place halfway up the mountain. It is surrounded by verdant trees, and behind the yard is a cliff and an abyss.
Wu Chengen stopped outside the courtyard and told Mao Wenlong to wait for a while. After that, he hurriedly walked in and reported to Chongzhen.
After a while, I saw Wu Chengen turn out and invite Mao Wenlong in with a smile.
As soon as you enter the door, there is a small garden, Mao Wenlong walked all the way, and he was very yearning for the scenery here. He was already thinking about the day when he would stop in the future, and he should also learn from Chongzhen to find a paradise to live his own leisurely life.
Walk through the garden and into another small courtyard with a small two-story wooden building. At this moment, Chongzhen was standing on the balcony on the second floor, looking at Mao Wenlong and them with a smile on his face.
Mao Wenlong looked up and saw him, responded with a sincere smile, and strode into the small wooden building. Wu Chengen led the way and led them directly to the second floor.
Chongzhen was already waiting at the staircase, and said with a smile on his face: "Chief soldier, it's been a long time!" ”
Mao Wenlong laughed, hugged his fists and laughed: "The emperor lives in such a fairyland, it is really enviable. ”
A trace of loss flashed in Chongzhen's eyes, but it was quickly hidden, he pretended not to care, and politely and warmly invited Mao Wenlong to take a seat.
Before taking his seat, Hong Chengchou also saluted Chongzhen in person, and was about to salute the monarch and minister, but was stopped by Chongzhen, he chuckled: "Since the day the old man defeated Li Zicheng in Beiping, he is no longer the emperor." These etiquettes are waived. ”
When speaking, Chongzhen always looked at Mao Wenlong intentionally or unintentionally, as if he meant something.
Mao Wenlong understood, he smiled and said: "The emperor is the emperor, this is a fact that cannot be changed." Mao is not a person with a small belly. ”
Chongzhen laughed when he heard this: "It's rare for the general soldier to be so open-minded, but people have to be self-aware." The rules that should be kept must be observed, and there can be no transgression. ”
Seeing Chongzhen so insistent, Mao Wenlong couldn't be polite anymore, nodded and asked, "Then how should we call it now?" ”
Chongzhen chuckled and said, "If the chief soldier is willing, you can call him sir." ”
Mao Wenlong was not hypocritical, and immediately hugged his fists and smiled: "The guest is whatever the host, then he will be commensurate with Mr. in the future." ”
Chongzhen nodded: "That's very good!" ”
After the politeness, Chongzhen warmly invited Mao Wenlong and Hong Chengchou to drink and eat. The three of them no longer talk about business, but only about the ups and downs. ”
It wasn't until the third round of wine that Mao Wenlong said: "Mr. is still satisfied with the situation in Daming today." I hope Mao didn't disappoint you, for that jade seal, Mao still has to sincerely thank you! ”
Chongzhen smiled: "The chief soldier is really a god, and Da Ming can complete the unification in your hands, and the old man is also quite comforted in his heart." ”
