Great wars do not start overnight, especially in ancient times. Therefore, if Mao Wenlong wants to fight in Liaodong, he must be prepared, and Lu Xiangsheng's unexpected arrival really gave him a big surprise.

Mao Wenlong agreed to Lu Xiangsheng and sent him to Nanjing to meet Chongzhen, and for this reason, he did not hesitate to use his car, the hot air balloon specially prepared for him in Mao's mansion.

"Mr. Mao, this thing is that hot air balloon, right?" Lu Xiangsheng stepped forward curiously to take a look.

"Yes, this is a hot air balloon, the only one in the world at the moment." Mao Wenlong's eyes flashed with pride.

Lu Xiangsheng continued to circle the hot air balloon that was preparing to take off, touching it here and there. It's like a curious baby, and Lu Xiangsheng seriously doubts that this thing can fly into the sky at this moment.

If he hadn't heard it before, Lu Xiangsheng wouldn't have tried to ride in a hot air balloon.

"General soldier, it's ready, and it's ready to take off at any time." The guards manipulating the hot air balloon saluted Mao Wenlong.

Mao Wenlong nodded, then looked at Lu Xiangsheng, and said with a smile: "Lord Lu can set off, if nothing else, in less than ten days, you can arrive in Nanjing to see the emperor." ”

"So fast?" Lu Xiangsheng was surprised, but at the same time, his tone was full of suspicion?

"It's just a normal speed, and if you go full speed in an emergency, you can get there in five days." Mao Wenlong's words were amazing.

Lu Xiangsheng stopped talking nonsense and went straight up. No matter how much you ask, it's better to experience it yourself.

As the sun sets, the hot air balloon slowly rises into the sky in the afterglow, and a moment later floats over the heads of Mao Wenlong and others. After that, it disappeared from everyone's sight.

Mao Wenlong retracted his farsighted gaze, turned his head to look at Hong Chengchou and said quietly: "I think that after Lu Xiangsheng meets the emperor this time, will he come back?" ”

Hong Chengchou pondered for a moment before he said: "He will definitely come back, but he must have been given a mission by the emperor." In fact, the chief soldier should not let Lord Lu go to meet with the emperor, at least not yet. ”

Mao Wenlong's expression was calm, he understood the meaning of Hong Chengchou's words, but he had his own considerations.

Seeing Mao Wenlong's expression, Hong Chengchou suddenly hesitated, and he asked in a condensed voice: "Does the chief soldier have other considerations?" ”

Mao Wenlong no longer concealed it, and said bluntly: "I understand what you mean, I am afraid that Lu Xiangsheng will meet the emperor." The emperor will want him to come back and lurk by my side, in Cao Ying's heart in Han! It is precisely because I don't want to see such a situation happen, so I simply let Lu Xiangsheng go to see the emperor first, and when he returns, we can observe whether he is sincere or not. ”

Hong Chengchou nodded understandingly: "The general army is smart, so the initiative is in our hands again." ”

It was rare to get Hong Chengchou's praise, and Mao Wenlong couldn't help but feel a little proud: "Where, where!" ”

Hong Chengchou rolled his eyes, disgusted with Mao Wenlong's dead-skinned face, and said: "It's late at night, the general soldier should rest early." ”

Mao Wenlong nodded, and the two walked out of the small courtyard together, and then dispersed.

Mao Wenlong, who had just returned to his room, met Princess Taiping head-on, and Xiao Nizi looked at Mao Wenlong with resentful eyes, as if she had been greatly wronged.

"The princess came to visit late at night, I don't know what is urgent?" No matter how much he dislikes the princess, Mao Wenlong's basic politeness still has to be enough.

"Is this your hospitality? Or is this not even qualified to come into your house to talk? Princess Taiping snorted coldly.

After Mao Wenlong heard this, he immediately frowned, and then said: "The princess is too worried, this will be in the middle of the night, and we are alone in the same room, I am afraid it will affect the reputation of the princess." ”

"I don't mind this palace, you're such a mother-in-law and mother like a big man." Princess Taiping threw another complaining look away.

Mao Wenlong secretly thought in his heart: "Of course you don't mind, but Lao Tzu minds!" ”

"If the princess comes over during the day, Mao will naturally be treated politely, but this will indeed be a kiss, and I hope the princess will forgive me. If the princess is in a hurry, it is better to say it in person now, and if it can be done, Mao will definitely spare no effort. Mao Wenlong looked like he didn't get in the salt.

Princess Taiping's eyes became even more sad, since Chen Lan gave birth to a boy, she had been under pressure. The last time Wu Chengen came over, he had already conveyed her father's intentions, asking her to take down Mao Wenlong as soon as possible and seek a way back for the future of Daming and his old Zhu family.

For this reason, the princess can't sit still now, and she must make progress in her relationship with Mao Wenlong as soon as possible. Tonight, after thinking about it, the princess felt that she should not wait any longer, but should change from passive to active.

So, the princess made up her mind that she would tie it up tonight, and she would also do it with Mao Wenlong. What she didn't expect was that she just came over and learned that Mao Wenlong was not there. Now that he is waiting, Mao Wenlong still can't even get in.

As a woman and a princess, she believed that her words had been plain enough. was politely rejected by Mao Wenlong, who did not eat oil and salt, and his self-esteem was suddenly hit. When a woman is sensible, it doesn't matter what happens, once she loses her mind, it is definitely a disaster for men.

Mao Wenlong didn't realize that he was standing in the crater of Princess Taiping, a volcano that could erupt at any time. He is still the same unbeaten, and he wishes that Princess Taiping would leave quickly.

The volcano has finally erupted......

"Boom!"

A sword drawing suddenly appeared.

Mao Wenlong only felt a cold light like lightning, coming straight towards him.

"Commander, be careful!"

The vast man who stood two steps behind Mao Wenlong roared, and then dodged and rushed forward.

The huge movements were not unpleasant, but they were still one step slower than Princess Taiping, and at this moment, Mao Wenlong's heart was against the tip of the sword shining with cold light. The person who holds the sword is none other than the annoyed and angry Princess Taiping.

I saw that her pretty face was frosty, and her big eyes glared at Mao Wenlong, and she shouted: "Mao Wenlong, what do you have to do to agree to marry this palace?" ”

Mao Wenlong was stunned for a long time and didn't react. He obviously didn't see where Princess Taiping had a hidden sword on her body just now, but at this moment, she suddenly held a soft sword in her hand and threatened him.

"Put down your sword, or don't blame me for being rude." Haoda didn't know when he had come to Princess Taiping's side, holding a saber in his hand, which was already on Princess Taiping's snow-white neck.

"Hmph, you might as well try it." Princess Taiping did not show weakness at all, and was still strong.
