It is very likely that Hong Chengchou will arrive in Ye County in the near future, and his purpose is obviously to come for the matter of the looting of grain and grass.

Mao Wenlong was still distressed when he first heard such news, but fortunately, he got the news first, and he could make some preparations for this as soon as possible.

The arrangement in the barracks is the most flawed, after all, it is 30,000 Dongjiang troops, and it has to be completely covered up as some ordinary people. It is still possible to fool those who do not understand military affairs.

An old fox like Hong Chengchou has been in the army for such a long time, and it is difficult to hide it from him. It's almost impossible, but fortunately, Mao Wenlong didn't want to hide it from him from the beginning, but he still needs to cover it up on the surface.

Mao Wenlong's identity has not yet been exposed, at least not yet, Chongzhen cannot be let know that he is still alive. And after Hong Chengchou went back last time, Mao Wenlong did not wait for any news from the imperial court, obviously, Hong Chengchou did not poke his identity to Chongzhen.

In other words, Hong Chengchou actually still has Mao Wenlong in his heart. It can also be said that he still remembers his daughter Hong Ziyan. Based on the above reasons, Mao Wenlong estimated that Hong Chengchou would arrive this time, even if he found out that he had secretly robbed grain, it would not be the worst.

As long as Hong Chengchou still has a heart for his daughter, he will not directly give Mao Wenlong anything. This is also Mao Wenlong's biggest barrier at present!

Although he was not as worried about Hong Chengchou's arrival as before, Mao Wenlong was still fully prepared, at least not to expose any flaws on the surface.

And in the end, he simply sent someone to find out where Hong Chengchou was and when he would go to Ye County, which can be said to be quite profound!

With their hands behind their backs and humming a little song, they came to the backyard leisurely, where Chen Lan and Hong Ziyan were personally cleaning the sweet potatoes that had just been cut from the ground.

Neither of them had ever eaten this thing, and they had been thinking about it before, and when they went to the farm today, they happened to see the sweet potatoes that had been planted first ripe.

Mao Wenlong simply ordered someone to get more than a dozen of them back to try them, but you can't eat too much of this thing, and eating too much at once will cause diarrhea.

Chen Lan and Hong Ziyan had just cleaned all the sweet potatoes, and when they saw Mao Wenlong coming back, Chen Lan said with a smile: "Xianggong, you said that there are several ways to eat this sweet potato, which one shall we taste first?" ”

Sweet potatoes are red-fleshed sweet potatoes, and this sweet potato has the effect of smoothing the spleen, so if you boil it in water, you can't eat too much at once. But if you grill it, it's no problem at all, and it tastes good.

So, Mao Wenlong simply picked up the big pot containing sweet potatoes and said with a smile, It's not early now, let's get a stove in this backyard and make some charcoal to roast and eat.

Naturally, no one objected to Mao Wenlong's decision, and he was the only one who was most familiar with sweet potatoes, and no one would tell him what to do.

The chief soldier had to bake a fire in the courtyard with his wife, and the people in this house were naturally diligent in preparing all the things for them.

A large basket of charcoal was directly carried, and the chef in the house was personally lighting the fire. This cook is the most famous in Quanye County, and he is so diligent today, because he heard that Mao Wenlong got a new thing.

As a chef, he heard of dishes he had never seen before, so he naturally wanted to find out.

The cook soon made a fire, and Mao Wenlong asked the cook to add charcoal after the fire was boiling. Then wait until the open flame of the charcoal is not strong, and then bury all the processed sweet potatoes in the charcoal fire.

Then you don't have to do anything, you can eat the sweet potatoes when they are ripe.

When the cook saw that it was such a simple step, a look of loss suddenly appeared on his face.

Mao Wenlong had already seen through the cook's careful thoughts, and he didn't pay attention to him, but pulled Chen Lan and Hong Ziyan to sit down on the side. After pondering for a moment, he looked at Hong Ziyan and said, "Ziyan, there is good news for you. ”

Not only was Hong Ziyan surprised, but even Chen Lan was quite curious, and the two daughters looked at Mao Wenlong intently, waiting for the good news in his mouth.

"Your daddy will be here in a few days." Mao Wenlong hesitated for a moment, and then said it directly.

"My daddy is coming?"

Hong Ziyan muttered, and it took a long time to react. But she didn't show any surprise, but said with a panicked face: "Is my father coming to arrest me back?" ”

From Hong Ziyan's expression, Mao Wenlong was already sure that Hong Ziyan was used to staying by his side. Instead, she mentioned that she wanted to return to her father's side, showing extreme reluctance.

At this point, the worries in Mao Wenlong's heart disappeared completely, and he smiled and said, "Whether I came to persuade you to go back, I don't know yet." But most of the time the same is true, so telling you in advance is to make you feel well prepared! ”

Seeing Hong Ziyan panicking, Chen Lan, the eldest sister, was quite intimate, took her already cold little hand, and comforted: "Sister Ziyan, don't worry, as long as you don't want to go back, we will support you." Even if your father comes, he can't force you to go back. ”

Chen Lan's words seemed to give Hong Ziyan great encouragement, the panicked look on her face gradually calmed down, and she said firmly: "No, I don't want to go back to my father's side, Ziyan wants to be with my sister and her father-in-law." ”

Mao Wenlong saw the stitches, and immediately seized the opportunity to swear and promise: "Ziyan, don't worry, no one can let you do what you don't want to do, including your father, everything is fair, you can rest assured!" ”

"Hmm!" Hong Ziyan's face was a little shy, and she felt warm in her heart.

But after a while, she seemed to think of something, and hurriedly said, "Xianggong, don't have a conflict with my father, Zi Yan doesn't want to see you quarrel." Can you do it for my sake, don't worry about my father. Even if he has any inappropriate words, for my sake, will you forgive him? ”

"Simple little girl!" Mao Wenlong sighed in his heart.

However, when Mao Wenlong wanted to come back, he also found that perhaps it was such a simple Hong Ziyan who would let him love her like this. If he is replaced by a femme fatale, even if he looks like a heavenly immortal, he Mao Wenlong is not rare at all.

repeatedly promised that he would not have a conflict with her father, and Mao Wenlong took a lot of effort to comfort Hong Ziyan.

At this time, a sweet fragrance began to waft in the air, and the people present began to follow the fragrance, only to see that the skin of the sweet potatoes buried in the charcoal just now had become as black as charcoal.

Mao Wenlong picked up a branch without hesitation, and made a sweet potato out of the charcoal fire in three or two clicks. The skin of the sweet potato has been completely carbonized, and it is hard, and the carbonized skin suddenly falls off with a gentle tap of a branch.

The sweet fragrance in the air became more and more intense, and Mao Wenlong shouted with a smile: "It's ripe!" ”
