In the dimly lit cell, two oil lamps were lit, a small table was moved, and some food and wine were made. When everything was in order, he threw them all out and closed the prison door.

Without the dazzling sunlight, Wu Sangui was finally able to see Mao Wenlong clearly, still with that young face, unchanged from when he met him at sea before. On the other hand, he himself is not even as good as a homeless person.

Seeing the look of shame in Wu Sangui's eyes, Mao Wenlong chuckled and said: "The wine and food are not poisoned, the prince can enjoy it with confidence, if there is anything special you want to eat, you can also say it." ”

Wu Sangui hesitated for a moment, hugged his fists and thanked Mao Wenlong, and then he was no longer polite, picked up the dishes and chopsticks and devoured them directly. Starting from Liaodong, I didn't have a good day of rest on the way.

Before he was arrested, he fled in Tashan for a whole day, and Wu Sangui was almost tired from the continuous rush. I haven't tasted food like this for almost a month.

Wu Sangui has obviously let go, no matter what Mao Wenlong wants to do with himself next, he has no room for resistance. Instead of being greedy for life and afraid of death to make Mao Wenlong look down on him, it is better to leave the last trace of dignity for himself.

Drink a lot of wine, eat a lot of food, and after a while, the wine and food will be looted like a storm. Casually wiping the corners of his mouth full of oil stains, Wu Sangui looked up at Mao Wenlong and said, "What are you going to do with this king?" ”

Mao Wenlong didn't respond to Wu Sangui immediately, he picked up the wine jug, personally filled Wu Sangui's wine glass, and then filled a glass himself, and then said: "You entertained me last time we met, and this time it's rare to come to me, so let me entertain you well." ”

Wu Sangui frowned, hesitated for a moment before picking up the wine glass and touching it with Mao Wenlong: "Dry!" ”

The two smiled tacitly, then raised their heads together and drank the wine in the glass, and after three glasses in a row, Mao Wenlong stopped and said formally: "I heard that the prince wants to see this general soldier, I don't know what is going on, now might as well talk about it?" ”

Wu Sangui really couldn't guess what Mao Wenlong was thinking, but this would make him kindle a little hope, and quickly clenched his fists and said seriously: "This king knows that he is sorry for you, and he doesn't want to plead with you." If the general soldier can read the old love, then this king hopes that the general soldier can save the king's family after killing me. ”

"Family? The prince's family was controlled by Huang Taiji? ”

"Alas...... Since the king fled from Liaodong, he has been under the control of Huang Taiji. When he came back to Liaodong this time, he was also threatened by the family of Huang Taiji Naben, so he was forced to come. ”

Mao Wenlong suddenly put away the smile on his face, and became a gloomy snort: "How confident are you that this general soldier will agree to your request?" ”

Wu Sangui paused for a moment, and said unhurriedly: "Only the general army wants to make Liaodong really calm down as soon as possible." ”

Mao Wenlong still snorted coldly: "Liaodong has calmed down now, so you don't need to worry about it." ”

Wu Sangui shook his head and smiled: "It seems that the general army still doesn't know the true situation in Liaodong. ”

Mao Wenlong was stunned for a moment: "Do you still have hole cards that you haven't taken out?" ”

Wu Sangui no longer concealed it, and said bluntly: "This king has taken root in Liaodong, does the general soldier think that this king has not left a way back for himself?" ”

Entrenched in Liaodong for so long, to say that Wu Sangui would be defeated so easily, Mao Wenlong really didn't believe it. It's just that the current Liaodong can be said to be completely under the control of the Dongjiang Army, even if Wu Sangui still has some old subordinates hidden, it will not threaten the Dongjiang Army.

Therefore, Mao Wenlong didn't care much about Wu Sangui's confidence at the moment. In his opinion, this was just a trick used by Wu Sangui to save his family.

Wu Sangui obviously saw disbelief in Mao Wenlong's eyes, and he immediately said: "Don't believe it, the general soldier, this king dares to promise Huang Taiji to come back to Liaodong, so naturally he dares to come only if he has some foundation." It's just that this king is unwilling to be at the mercy of Huang Taiji all the time, and he also knows that Huang Taiji is just using this king, not treating himself sincerely. Therefore, even if he comes back to Liaodong, it is just to cope. ”

Mao Wenlong sneered: "It's useless to say a thousand things and ten thousand, if the prince really wants to save your family, then tell all your details." If this is true, the general soldier can indeed consider saving your family, and maybe. ”

Although Mao Wenlong was confident that the Dongjiang Army could completely control Liaodong, what Wu Sangui said just now also had to be considered. Liaodong has been invaded by the Tatars for a long time, and neither the people nor the officers and soldiers can compare with the army in the interior.

Otherwise, Mao Wenlong's old subordinates, those soldiers who followed him out of Liaodong, would not be so powerful today. It is precisely because of the fierceness of the folk customs of Liaodong that Mao Wenlong has to pay attention to what Wu Sangui said.

"In Liaodong, this king still has 30,000 loyal old subordinates, and they are scattered all over Liaodong. As long as this king's order is issued, these 30,000 people can cause a lot of chaos in Liaodong at any time. If the general army does not want to start a war in Liaodong again, then the king also asks the general army to think about it. As long as he promised the king to rescue his family, the king could order these hidden old subordinates to be all included in the general army. ”

After thinking about it for a while, Wu Sangui finally shook out his hole cards, and then expected Mao Wenlong to give him a satisfactory answer.

The accident came very suddenly, and Mao Wenlong didn't expect that Wu Sangui would be able to hide 30,000 old subordinates in Liaodong. If this really starts, not only will the Dongjiang Army have great casualties, but the entire Liaodong Africa will have to become a real ruin.

A cold sweat pinched in his heart, Mao Wenlong felt glad that he didn't kill Wu Sangui on the spot. But if you just want Mao Wenlong to pay the price to save Wu Sangui's family, it is obviously not cost-effective.

After some consideration, Mao Wenlong said to Wu Sangui: "Thirty thousand old subordinates are hidden in Liaodong, which is indeed a big threat. But don't forget, Liaodong is dispensable for the general army, and if the situation is bad, the general army can be evacuated at any time. Therefore, these conditions of yours are simply not enough for this general soldier to spend energy to save your family. ”

Wu Sangui's face showed a dead gray, but he quickly recovered, and from Mao Wenlong's tone, he sensed that Mao Wenlong actually didn't mean to refuse completely: "Then how can the general soldier be willing to rescue the king's family?" ”

Mao Wenlong smiled and said: "It's very simple, this general soldier needs you to scourge Huang Taiji." If you are able to follow the plan and achieve a satisfactory result for the commander-in-chief, your family's safety will not be worried. ”
