Mao Wenlong successfully entered Shencheng, and under the leadership of Shen Qing, he found a small courtyard in the south of the city as a temporary residence.

According to Shen Qing, this courtyard is an property in the name of the second uncle of the Shen family, and it was agreed upon when he talked to the second uncle before.

Mao Wenlong walked around the yard at will, and felt that the environment was okay, although the yard was not big, there were many rooms, enough to accommodate everyone.

"Lord Governor, are you still satisfied with this courtyard?" Shen Qing leaned forward with a flattering face.

Mao Wenlong glanced at him, nodded and said, "This yard is not bad, let you bother." ”

Shen Qing was flattered, and waved his hand again and again: "It should be, it should be, the villain still has to rely on the help of adults, this meager power is really not enough to worry about." ”

Shen Qing naturally had his little plan to please Mao Wenlong like this, Mao Wenlong knew it, but he didn't say much. Anyway, he never did anything unfavorable to himself, like Shen Qing wanted to use his power to return to the Shen family to seize power, and get back what should belong to him.

This is just a gesture for Mao Wenlong, and he can also use Shen Qing to take the position and reap the benefits of it. The most important thing is to negotiate a safe place with Shen Qing.

And this Shen City is obviously not the ideal place that Mao Wenlong needs, he has already learned some things about the Shen family. In this Ye County, the Shen family owns the fields of several villages, and these fields are exactly what Mao Wenlong urgently needs at present.

"You know, Pontus's purpose is clear, as long as there is a field available for cultivation, I don't care about anything else. If you want to seize power in the Shen family, I will naturally go all out to help you, but you must also ensure that the fields I need can be obtained. Mao Wenlong's eyes flashed sharply, staring straight at Shen Qing.

Shen Qing didn't dare to look at Mao Wenlong at all, lowered his head and said cautiously: "Lord Dudu, please rest assured, the villain knows what to do?" Not an inch of your field will be left behind. ”

The corners of Mao Wenlong's mouth curled slightly, and he snorted coldly: "Forgive me, you don't dare to play tricks!" If the governor of Pontus can help you up, he will naturally be able to pull you down, so you'd better weigh it yourself. ”

Shen Qing, who was submissive, did not dare to have the slightest dissatisfaction, and repeatedly expressed his loyalty to Mao Wenlong. In fact, for those fields where the food grown every year is not enough to eat, Shen Qing has never cared about it in his heart.

The Shen family does not live on those fields, they are mainly salt mines, which is the industry that the Shen family depends on for survival. Mao Wenlong only needs fields, which is the best thing for Shen Qing.

After making sure that Shen Qing didn't dare to play tricks with him, Mao Wenlong turned around and left alone. The purpose of entering the city this time is very clear, that is, to help Shen Qing sit on the Shen family patriarch, and then get the land he needs from Shen Qing's hands, so that he can start farming, and make adequate preparations for the outbreak of civil unrest in the future.

As soon as Mao Wenlong returned to the front yard, Chen Jisheng came up and asked: "Governor, we have settled down now, should we send someone to the Dongjiang River, so that Xu Fuzuo can know our exact location now, and let him be ready to bring his brothers in the army to come." ”

Mao Wenlong also attached great importance to the matter mentioned by Chen Jisheng, and after hesitating, he nodded and said: "This matter really can't be neglected, then Yuan Chonghuan has been recalled by the imperial court for a while, and I don't know what Dongjiang has become now." To be on the safe side, you should let Liu Guangzuo and Cheng Zuo go now, and be sure to help Xu Fuzuo bring the brothers safely. ”

"Yes!" Chen Jisheng bowed down and retreated.

Since Yuan Chonghuan was recalled by the imperial court, Dongjiang is now bound to be a mess, and Mao Wenlong is also quite worried at the moment. But the whip is beyond reach, and now all he can rely on is Xu Fu.

"I hope you don't let me down!" Mao Wenlong sighed lightly, cleaned up his mood and went to find Chen Lan and Hong Ziyan.

The two girls are choosing a room to live in the backyard at the moment, since Chen Lan confessed to Hong Ziyan last time, Hong Ziyan has not said anything, but the relationship between the two is a lot closer.

Mao Wenlong was secretly happy in his heart, although Hong Ziyan's attitude was not clear, at least she did not directly reject herself. In other words, Mao Wenlong still has a great chance to win Hong Ziyan's heart.

In addition to those old subordinates of Dongjiang, the person Mao Wenlong must fight for in front of him is Hong Chengchou. This person must be a key figure that will affect his future in the future, and Mao Wenlong has to pay attention to it.

Chen Lan and Hong Ziyan found two adjacent rooms and asked those soldiers to help them inside. In fact, there is nothing to bring with me, and it will be carried out at once.

Fortunately, everything is complete in this courtyard, and people can live in it at any time as long as they come in. Originally, there were a few subordinates left here by the second uncle of the Shen family in this courtyard, but they were all sent back by Mao Wenlong.

It's always not safe to keep these outsiders around, Mao Wenlong will definitely not be greedy for this little gain, and it is very likely that he will miss a big thing.

Seeing Mao Wenlong coming, Chen Lan happily stepped forward and pulled him to visit the house he chose: "Xianggong, let's live here, and Sister Ziyan lives next door." ”

Mao Wenlong didn't pay much attention to the place where he lived, and when he heard the words, he nodded in agreement: "You can arrange it, you are my Mao Wenlong's wife, and you are in charge of everything at home." ”

Chen Lan obviously liked to hear Mao Wenlong say this, and suddenly his face turned into a flower. Snuggled up to it, and my heart became honey.

After casually strolling around the house, Chen Lan and Mao Wenlong went over to visit Hong Ziyan. When the latter saw Mao Wenlong's arrival, her face suddenly turned red, obviously she was still shy about what had happened after she was bitten by a snake last time.

Although Hong Ziyan was shy, she didn't show too much, but said hello naturally. Mao Wenlong and Chen Lan didn't dare to mention the old things, and after asking Hong Ziyan if there was anything missing, they said goodbye and left.

On the way back to his house, Mao Wenlong couldn't help but ask Chen Lan: "Xiaolan, what do you say Ziyan's attitude towards me now?" ”

Chen Lan smiled and didn't mind Mao Wenlong asking about Hong Ziyan: "She! I can't guess right now. Ever since the last time she confessed to her, she's been avoiding all the questions she has with you. However, she has not said that she has rejected you, so Xianggong still has a chance. ”

Mao Wenlong sighed helplessly, he had no experience in pursuing girls. Fortunately, Chen Lan has always been helping him, otherwise he wouldn't know what to do.

"Thank you Xiaolan, you have to help Xianggong use more snacks in this matter. Zi Yan's family business must be successful, otherwise she will definitely run into big trouble in the future. ”

"Xiaolan knows, don't worry!" Chen Lan already knew why Mao Wenlong cared so much about Hong Ziyan, and it was also because of Mao Wenlong's frankness that she tried her best to help so selflessly.
