Chapter 175: The Angel from Jingshi
Mao Wenlong slept until dark, and when he woke up, the entire military camp was already quiet, and Li Jie and those recruited talents were no longer in the school. Fastest updates
"It seems that Li Jie's work efficiency is not bad!" Mao Wenlong muttered to himself, and then asked Haoda who followed behind him without looking back: "What time is it now?" ”
Haoda looked up at the moon in the sky, and estimated it for a while before saying, "It should be a watch day." ”
Mao Wenlong was very helpless, the air and water in ancient times did not have the hustle and bustle of those cities in the previous life. The people work at sunrise and rest at sunset, everything is fine, the only bad thing is that there is no time to be accurate, and there is a lot of lack of entertainment, which causes Mao Wenlong to feel empty, lonely and cold at night!
Haoda followed behind Mao Wenlong, watching him sigh and shake his head, stunned why he was suddenly like this?
It's boring to go home, Mao Wenlong didn't even sit in the carriage, pressed the road and ate the dust, and walked slowly towards the city with a cool breeze. Fortunately, the weather is not bad tonight, the bright moon is hanging high, and the road can still be seen clearly.
Haoda was originally carrying a lantern, but now he simply blew it out, followed behind Mao Wenlong, and carefully watched the surrounding situation.
As a personal guard, the only task is to ensure Mao Wenlong's safety, even if it costs his own life for it. There is no doubt that Haoda is a competent guard, and with him by his side, Mao Wenlong has never worried about his safety.
The city gate is in front of you, and the lantern on the castle tower looks like a ghost fire from a distance, and it is blown by the wind. With the bright moonlight and the figures of the guards on the city tower, Mao Wenlong stopped and watched for a moment, and said to the vast behind him: "They are still quite dutiful!" ”
Hearing this, Haoda smiled and said: "Those are all on duty of our Dongjiang Army, since the last time people from the Fusang Sect came to the city, Qingfeng didn't dare to be careless." ”
Speaking of Qingfeng's matter, Mao Wenlong shook his head and smiled, didn't say anything more, and continued to walk towards the city gate.
At this time, it was already a watch, the city gate had already been closed, Mao Wenlong had just approached the city gate, and the cold voice of the guards immediately came from the city tower: "Who is it?" ”
Haoda took a step forward and shouted loudly: "The general soldier is back, open the city gate quickly!" ”
A bronze medal was thrown out of the vast hand, and flew accurately to the city tower, which was quiet for a moment, and then there was movement, and the guards obviously determined Mao Wenlong's identity, and shouted the order to open the city gate.
With a dull creaking sound, the city gate slowly opened halfway, and Mao Wenlong then entered the city, and the carriage behind him also entered with the mighty drive.
The squeak sounded again, the city gate was closed again, and after entering the city, Mao Wenlong stopped pressing the road, got into the carriage and galloped back to Mao's mansion on the silent streets of the city.
As soon as the carriage stopped outside the gate of Mao's mansion, he saw Hao Xiao about to ride out on horseback.
As soon as Mao Wenlong got off the carriage, Hao Xiaopi dismounted and came to him, and said in a low voice: "Chief soldier, there is an angel in the house, claiming to be sent by the imperial court to discuss important matters, and he has been waiting in the house for a while. ”
"Angels?"
Mao Wenlong was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly said, "Eunuch, right?" ”
Hao Xiao looked a little surprised, but he didn't think much about it and nodded yes.
Mao Wenlong hesitated for a moment, and then strode into Mao's mansion, and Hao Xiao followed closely and said: "Chief soldier, the angel is in the front hall now, and Mr. Hong is greeting." ”
"Did the angel say why he came?" Mao Wenlong asked casually.
"Nope!" Haoxiao shook his head sincerely.
Mao Wenlong didn't say much, walked with his head bored, and soon came to the front hall, and before he entered, he heard Hong Chengchou's hearty laughter in the hall.
Mao Wenlong strode in, Hong Chengchou's laughter stopped dumbly, and he saw a rather young eunuch sitting with Hong Chengchou in the hall.
Seeing Mao Wenlong come in, the young eunuch's sinister eyes looked up and down, his ecology was quite arrogant, and when he looked at Mao Wenlong, his eyes were obviously disdainful.
Hong Chengchou did not introduce the two, and Mao Wenlong did not hold the young eunuch at all. He sat down in the hall, poured himself a glass of water, and drank it with a grunt.
The eunuch frowned, an unhappy look flashed on his face, but Hong Chengchou was still silent, completely different from the hearty laughter just now.
Mao Wenlong's rude behavior, as well as Hong Chengchou's silence, made the eunuch realize something? He cast an inquiring look at Hong Chengchou, and a trace of helplessness flashed on the latter's face, and then he coughed lightly and said, "This is an angel from Beijing!" ”
Hong Chengchou stood up and pointed to Mao Wenlong, who was still drinking water, and said, "This is our chief soldier in Ye County, Mao Wenlong." ”
As soon as Hong Chengchou finished the introduction, he listened to the eunuch use his special voice and said with a sneer: "I have heard that Mao Dudu, the anti-gold hero of Liaodong, is extremely arrogant, and today I saw that it was so." ”
Mao Wenlong put down the water glass, glanced at the eunuch, and sneered: "Since you think you know my identity, then I don't know why the angel is here?" ”
Playing Tai Chi and chatting about family life, Mao Wenlong was not interested at all. The arrogant posture of this eunuch made him even more unhappy, if it weren't for understanding his intentions, Mao Wenlong wouldn't even be interested in seeing him at this moment.
The eunuch's voice became cold again at this moment, as cold as ice: "Since Mao Dudu was not harmed by the Yuan thief, he should immediately report to the imperial court to know." However, you came here incognito, and you also took in 30,000 Dongjiang troops. Now it's even more peaceful, I don't know what you want? ”
Mao Wenlong looked at the eunuch squarely and said indifferently: "When the Yuan thief killed me, the actions of the imperial court had already chilled me. The previous Mao Wenlong has died, and now I am no longer Mao Wenlong of Liaodong. I don't seem to have to tell you what to do! ”
From the eunuch's words, Mao Wenlong guessed that Chongzhen should know his identity and sent this eunuch to win him over at this moment.
Sure enough, the eunuch's tone suddenly became very soft, and he actually smiled: "Mao Dudu's matter, now the saint has found out, everything is the fault of the Yuan thief." The saint remembered that you have suffered grievances, and now that the court is employing people, you are also a talent. The saint still hopes that you can continue to serve the imperial court, and Mao Dudu still thinks twice. ”
Mao Wenlong chuckled, saying so much nonsense, there is only one practical intention, that is, he hopes that he will continue to work hard for the imperial court. What Mao Wenlong would think in the past, Mao Wenlong didn't know at the moment, but his own thoughts at the moment were completely disdainful.
The Ming Dynasty has been terminally ill, Chongzhen is indeed a diligent and good emperor, but in the face of a dying dynasty, how can he return to heaven?
There was nothing to consider, Mao Wenlong immediately smiled and said: "Don't think twice, I can tell you now for sure that I, Mao Wenlong, will not work for anyone from now on!" ”
