Li Zicheng's sudden appearance made Cheng Zuo ecstatic, and after getting the news from Mao Wenlong, he immediately rushed to inform Zhuang Yexiang. There was no suspense, after Zhuang Yexiang heard the news of Li Zicheng, she immediately copied the guy and was going to kill someone.

Cheng Zuo stopped her: "Don't worry, the news was told to me by the chief soldier, and this time the chief soldier also supported us to go and kill Li Zicheng." ”

After Zhuang Yexiang heard this, she calmed down: "Really? ”

Cheng Zuo shrugged his shoulders and said, "Could it be that at this time, will I still lie to you?" ”

Zhuang Yexiang hesitated for a moment, then put down his weapon and said, "Okay, listen to you this time, what do you want to do." ”

Chengzuo didn't have any ink, when he told Zhuang Yexiang of his plan, after hearing this, Zhuang Yexiang was overjoyed and said happily: "This time I will never let Li Zicheng escape." ”

On the same day, Cheng Zuo and Zhuang Yexiang began to pack their luggage, but in fact, there was nothing to pack, the main thing was that Cheng Zuo had to hand over the affairs of the army to his subordinates to take care of. By the time these chores were sorted out, it was already the next morning.

Cheng Zuo, who had never closed his eyes all night, went to say goodbye to Mao Wenlong non-stop after getting ready.

Mao Wenlong readily agreed, and called Adou to his face, asking him to assist the two to kill Li Zicheng.

Since the last time Adou missed, he has been thinking about that archer in his heart. When he heard that there was another opportunity to meet this person, he gladly accepted.

After Cheng Zuo and Adou said goodbye that day, they set off for Datong Mansion with Zhuang Yexiang. There were only one hundred Chengzuo's personal guards accompanying him, and the rest of the personnel had been transferred from Zhuang Yexiang's Kaifeng Mansion to Datong Mansion.

Moreover, the defenders of Datong Mansion will also assist Chengzuo in intercepting and killing Li Zicheng, it can be said that this time Chengzuo is well prepared, and there is a great possibility of killing Li Zicheng in one fell swoop.

sent Chengzuo away, but Mao Wenlong ushered in Lu Xiangsheng, who had been waiting for many days.

After returning from Nanjing, Lu Xiangsheng's attitude towards Mao Wenlong really changed a lot. At least he no longer had the same blunt attitude as before, he got off the hot air balloon with a smile on his face, and said to Mao Wenlong: "General Mao is not harmed." ”

Mao Wenlong also greeted him with a smile: "Governor Lu is refreshed, and I want to come to Nanjing to make this trip to Nanjing not disappoint you." ”

Lu Xiangsheng laughed twice, and then said: "Speaking of this, I have to thank General Mao for your success, and Lu Mou would like to thank you first." ”

As he spoke, Lu Xiangsheng generously bowed down to Mao Wenlong and thanked him.

Mao Wenlong stepped forward, held Lu Xiangsheng and said with a smile: "Governor Lu, why bother, these false courtesies." Let's go, Mao has already prepared wine and food, and we will talk while eating. ”

Lu Xiangsheng was no longer polite, and followed behind Mao Wenlong, thinking about walking in the inner hall.

The banquet has already been set up with a full table, a dazzling array of wine and food, flying in the sky, running on the ground, and swimming in the water. The food and drink, which is full of color and flavor, is the most appetizing.

Hong Chengchou waited in the hall early in the morning, and when he saw Lu Xiangsheng coming, he smiled and greeted him to give up his seat.

The atmosphere in the lobby was harmonious, and the three of them seemed to be close friends who had not seen each other for many years, and they had a good conversation!

After raising his glass and changing the lamp, and loudly praising the richness of the wine and food, Lu Xiangsheng suddenly said: "I had a misunderstanding about the general soldier last time, and now Lu already knows what happened. For General Mao's rudeness, he also looked at Haihan. ”

Mao Wenlong put down the empty wine glass and said indifferently: "Governor Lu is too out-of-the-box when he says this. ”

A hint of hesitation suddenly flashed in Lu Xiangsheng's eyes, and he said after a while: "Actually, I went to see the emperor this time, and Lu felt uncomfortable. ”

Mao Wenlong quietly glanced at Hong Chengchou, and saw a full smile in each other's eyes.

Mao Wenlong pretended not to know, and asked lightly: "Oh, what is Governor Lu's trouble, you might as well talk about it, maybe Mao can help one or two." ”

Lu Xiangsheng put down his wine glass, then glanced around the room, and after finding that there were no outsiders, he lowered his voice and said to the two: "After Lu went to see the emperor this time, he was very happy. Lu also hoped that he could continue to stay by the emperor's side and do his best for Daming, but unfortunately ......"

"What a pity? Didn't the emperor accept Governor Lu's loyalty? Mao Wenlong was already sure in his heart that Lu Xiangsheng would be completely acting.

I don't know if Lu Xiangsheng's acting skills are too bad, or if he is not born to deceive people. His performance was simply too clumsy in Mao Wenlong's eyes. So much so that he had just emerged at the slightest sign that he had already been discovered by Mao Wenlong and Hong Chengchou.

But at this time, Lu Xiangsheng obviously didn't realize that his performance had already been seen through by Mao Wenlong and Hong Chengchou. is still bitter and bitter: "The emperor did politely refuse Lu's request, and now Lu's only wish is to be able to kill Wu Sangui, a thief, and then go incognito, but end this life." ”

Mao Wenlong almost didn't hold back his smile, but he still held back his life: "Why should Governor Lu give up on himself, I didn't discuss it with you before, and now the emperor has no place for Governor Lu, so you might as well be wronged by the Dongjiang Army and re-establish a meritorious career." ”

Lu Xiangsheng hesitated for a moment and said: "Don't hide it from General Mao, in fact, Lu was also moved earlier, but Lu really couldn't disobey the guilt in his heart for Daming. ”

At this time, Hong Chengchou suddenly answered on the side: "Could it be that the matter has come to this point, and Governor Lu has not been able to let go of that attachment?" In fact, when Hong defected to the commander-in-chief earlier, he was also in a similar situation to Governor Lu. But now you look at what the whole north is like, and compared with the previous imperial court, which do you think is good and which is bad? ”

Lu Xiangsheng frowned, in all fairness, the north under Mao Wenlong's rule was many times better than the previous situation of the imperial court. If nothing else, just look at the people living in the north now, and you can clearly recognize the earth-shaking changes.

Lu Xiangsheng suddenly responded with a straight face: "There is nothing to deny, General Mao is indeed talented, and the north is indeed much better than the previous imperial court." ”

Mao Wenlong laughed and said, "Since Governor Lu has admitted it, then what else do you have to worry about now." With your intelligence, it is a pity not to contribute to the people of the Ming Dynasty, but to waste the snow and hide it. ”

Lu Xiangsheng hesitated again, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, according to the words of the chief soldier, Lu will be on an errand under the command of the chief soldier in the future." ”

"Hahaha...... Then we're done. Mao Wenlong raised his glass again, and the three of them continued to drink heartily.

Mao Wenlong did not expose Lu Xiangsheng, but took Lu Xiangsheng first. As for what to do in the future, Mao Wenlong and Hong Chengchou already have a foundation in their hearts, so naturally there is no need to worry.
