Mao Wenlong finally gave Chen Jisheng two days to think about it, after all, he had promised Chongzhen to start leaving for Nanjing in a month. Therefore, Chen Jisheng must now give Mao Wenlong an answer as soon as possible, so that he can make arrangements for the next things.

After Chen Jisheng readily agreed, he hurriedly said goodbye to Mao Wenlong, and after making some inquiries in Mao's mansion, he found Hong Chengchou in a small courtyard in the mansion.

"Lord Hong, don't come unharmed, I haven't seen you for many days, you are still beautiful." As soon as Chen Jisheng saw Hong Chengchou, he began to play haha.

The small courtyard is a small courtyard where Hong Chengchou specializes in planting flowers and grasses, and it is also a vegetable garden opened up by Chen Lan and Hong Ziyan in the house. At this moment, Hong Chengchou was watering the flowers and plants, and after hearing the sound, he saw that it was Chen Jisheng coming, and he seemed to have expected that Chen Jisheng would come to him early in the morning.

"General Chen is a busy man, how can he come to me, an old man, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly, don't be polite." Hong Chengchou smiled.

Chen Jisheng looked at Hong Chengchou suspiciously, and after a while, he said, "Could it be that Lord Hong has expected that I will come to you?" ”

Hong Chengchou didn't hide it either: "Sooner or later, did the chief soldier ask you what your plans for the future are?" ”

Chen Jisheng's eyes suddenly lit up: "Lord Hong, I think you already know what the general soldier is planning, can you tell me one or two." ”

Hong Chengchou suddenly sighed lightly, but he stopped speaking, as if he had something in his heart but couldn't open his mouth. After all, from the very beginning, he was still haunted by Mao Wenlong's failure to claim himself emperor, and he felt even more pity when it came to the end.

After some sighing, Hong Chengchou put down the work in his hand and invited Chen Jisheng to sit down and rest together before he spoke: "The general soldier suddenly left Xi'an alone a few days ago, and when he came back, he brought the Ming Emperor back. Now it is decided to give Nanjing to others free of charge and help others re-establish the Ming Dynasty. ”

Chen Jisheng frowned again and again when he heard this, Hong Chengchou said it simply, he already understood: "The chief soldier doesn't claim to be the emperor himself?" ”

Hong Chengchou sighed and said: "This is true, he told me in person, and now he is putting it into action." ”

Chen Jisheng said suspiciously: "What do you want us to do in the future, what do you mean?" ”

Hong Chengchou smiled bitterly: "Of course, I want you to make a good choice, and he will arrange your place." ”

"Does the chief soldier want us to serve Chongzhen?"

Chen Jisheng stood up with a sigh of surprise.

Hong Chengchou glanced at him and waved his hand to ask him not to be anxious before explaining: "It is true that the chief soldier wants you to serve Chongzhen, but this is only temporary. ”

Chen Jisheng frowned and said, "For the time being, will there be other arrangements for the general army in the future?" But even so, I'd rather die than serve Chongzhen, Lao Tzu doesn't have the heart to shed blood and sweat for others, except for the general soldier, don't think about anyone. ”

Hong Chengchou had an appreciative look in his eyes, and what he appreciated the most was a Dongjiang Army soldier like Chen Jisheng. Mao Wenlong has a group of such enthusiastic and loyal subordinates, and he can now build such a foundation.

It's a pity that Mao Wenlong didn't know that the tendon was short-circuited, which caused him to suddenly have a big change, and he actually said halfway that he didn't want to be the emperor.

Hong Chengchou was very helpless, but he had already agreed with Mao Wenlong's decision, and this would naturally not dismantle his platform again. After Hong Chengchou thought it through, he persuaded Chen Jisheng: "You don't need to misunderstand the general soldier, in fact, he is clearly not the emperor, but secretly...... You should get the idea! ”

Chen Jisheng was stunned for a moment, and then said after realizing it: "The general soldier must be in charge behind the scenes!" ”

Hong Chengchou didn't say anything more, just nodded, and then got up and left first, leaving Chen Jisheng in the small courtyard to figure it out.

Chen Jisheng was indeed in a state of confusion, and it took a long time to react, and a burning gaze appeared in his eyes. Obviously, Mao Wenlong wanted to go to obey Chongzhen's dispatch this time, in fact, he wanted to control the military power in the future.

Thinking about this, Chen Jisheng's hanging heart was finally put back in his stomach with peace of mind. After he laughed twice, Shi Shiran left the small courtyard and went to the army.

Now that he understood Mao Wenlong's decision, Chen Jisheng certainly thought that he must have enough subordinates. If he was just a bare-bones commander, he would definitely not succeed.

Two days later, the time agreed between Chen Jisheng and Mao Wenlong had arrived, and he went to find Mao Wenlong early in the morning and replied to him: "Chief soldier, I have already thought about it, and I will follow any arrangements you have." ”

Mao Wenlong squinted at Chen Jisheng, he had learned from Hong Chengchou two days ago that Chen Jisheng had gone to inquire. Hearing Chen Jisheng's reply, he was not surprised at all.

"Jisheng! You have to think clearly, if you go to Nanjing, then this day is not short. Mao Wenlong took a sip of fragrant tea, and then said with a sneer.

"The chief soldier doesn't need to worry too much, since I have chosen it, I will never regret it." Chen Jisheng didn't even think about it, so he said directly.

Mao Wenlong nodded and smiled: "Since you have decided, then good." From today onwards, you will be ready to leave for Nanjing at any time. And bring your family with you, so that you may not be separated from your family in the future. ”

Chen Jisheng said with a smile: "Thank you for your concern, I will arrange these trivial matters, and I will go back to the barracks immediately to arrange them." ”

Mao Wenlong hesitated for a moment and said: "Remember to make it clear to the soldiers in the army, let them make their own choices, and don't do embarrassing things." ”

"Yes, yes!" Chen Jisheng responded again and again.

Seeing this, Mao Wenlong waved his hand to let him step back. After Chen Jisheng said goodbye, he left immediately, and the house suddenly became quiet, Mao Wenlong got up and came to the window, looking at the sun that had just risen outside, he was still worried about Adou's side in his heart.

Adou has quietly come to the Beijing Division, and after the war, the Beijing Division has lost its former glory. Although Li Zicheng ordered a quick repair, it could not be completed in a while.

Adou and his two companions wore the clothes of craftsmen, and mingled among the many craftsmen in the streets and alleys, and no one noticed that they were wrong.

"Big brother, it seems that this Li Zicheng doesn't feel the threat from Datong at all!" A young man who followed behind Adou muttered behind him.

"Don't talk too much, now that we've explored the terrain about the same, we'll start moving at night, and you can get what you have prepared?" Adou's eyes were probing around.

"It's all ready, now it's lying in our arms, big brother don't worry." The young man laughed.
