Three miles outside the east gate of Yexian County, there is a small forest, there is a land temple there, and there was originally a small village in the woods, which was the settlement of a big family in the past. After the fastest update, for some reason, the big family moved away, and there were natural disasters here, and years of drought and the accompanying locust plague made this village of only about 30 families completely deserted.

The afterglow of the sun shone on this dilapidated village, which looked unusually gloomy, and the silence of the village, the dilapidated thatched huts, and the occasional crow chirping, made this place look extremely desolate.

Outside the Land Temple, Chen Qiyu and more than 30 subordinates were already waiting here. Looking at the desolate village in front of him, as well as the scorched yellow and cracked land everywhere, his expression was quite solemn.

The Central Plains will break out such a chaotic situation, and in the final analysis, it is caused by natural disasters. He also knew in his heart that it was actually helpless for the people to rebel, after all, if anyone could survive, who would rise up to rebel at the risk of being raided and exterminated.

Of course, since the development of the civil unrest, there have been many people with bad intentions who have taken advantage of the opportunity to rise up, which has also led to the situation in the Central Plains region becoming more and more difficult to control. In particular, the disaster year is still going on, and I see that the end of the year has arrived, but counting this year, it seems that there has not been a decent rain.

The court's relief could not keep up, and even later, there was almost no relief, and the people could not survive. So they responded to the rebels one after another, and the sparks were out of control in the end.

Fortunately, the current situation is very good, and the rogue is about to be wiped out. He Chen Qiyu can be regarded as not dishonoring the emperor's order, and he went to the Central Plains for the emperor for the court. However, at this time, the emperor asked him to give up such a great opportunity and come to war with Mao Wenlong, who has always been honest.

Not to mention delaying the fighter plane to exterminate the rogue bandits, it will also provoke another unstable factor. Chen Qiyu dared to guarantee that Mao Wenlong was not comparable to those rogues, the shadow of the famous tree of people, an army that could block the Tartars' iron cavalry from Liaodong, if there was no such strength, who believed that it could be done.

Yuan Chonghuan, who was later accused of treason, is not a living column, so Chen Qiyu firmly believes that Mao Wenlong cannot be underestimated. This is also the reason why he was willing to risk being discovered by the imperial court and came to meet Mao Wenlong secretly.

The sun was setting, the afterglow had dissipated, the night began to cover the land, and a vigorous fire burned in front of the land temple.

Chen Qiyu has been waiting here for more than an hour, and the agreed time is getting closer and closer. He came here first for the sake of safety, after all, his understanding of Mao Wenlong was only a rumor, and he had never seen the real person yet.

A guard hurriedly ran over from outside the woods and said to Chen Qiyu: "Governor, there are ten horsemen outside, it is Mao Wenlong and his subordinates. ”

Chen Qiyu was immediately shocked, and the person he had been waiting for for a long time finally appeared, he wanted to see Mao Wenlong's demeanor: "Lead them to this land temple, remember, don't be rude." ”

The guard was slightly stunned, but he didn't say much, and quickly retreated after obeying the order.

A moment later, footsteps could be heard outside the woods, and Chen Qiyu couldn't see anyone in the night. It wasn't until Mao Wenlong came three meters away from him that Chen Qiyu saw a young man coming towards him.

Chen Qiyu had heard Qin Feng say before that the so-called Mao Wenlong was a young man, and Chen Qiyu had already prepared in his heart. But after he saw it with his own eyes, he was still surprised, judging from Mao Wenlong's appearance, he would definitely not be more than twenty-five years old, and he would be much younger. is white and pure, and it is completely inconsistent with the rumored fierce general.

It is estimated that if Mao Wenlong does not tell others, he will swagger in the Beijing Division, and no one will associate him with the rumored Mao Wenlong.

Mao Wenlong is dressed as a scholar tonight, and he is already white, but he has a scholarly temperament. At this moment, he is indeed very different from a man from the military.

Chen Qiyu was looking at Mao Wenlong at the same time, Mao Wenlong was also looking at him, Chen Qiyu was obviously over half a hundred years old, and people in their teens may have been worried about rogue things in recent years, the hair on his temples has turned gray, and he looks no different from a person in his sixties.

"Brother Mao?" Chen Qiyu took the lead in hugging his fists and greeted with a smile, but his greeting was uncertain.

Mao Wenlong also smiled, and generously hugged his fists in return: "Governor Chen." ”

The two stood facing each other by the fire, looked at each other for a moment, and then laughed tacitly.

"Brother Mao's youth is indeed beyond my expectations." Chen Qiyu's words did not mean to despise Mao Wenlong, he was indeed amazed in his heart.

"Governor Chen's name is like thunder, and the younger brother has already heard of it, and when I see it today, he is really like his name." Mao Wenlong also directly praised Chen Qiyu.

The two were silent for a moment, then laughed again.

After that, Chen Qiyu simply entered the topic: "There is not much time, so I won't talk nonsense." Inviting Brother Mao to come over to meet tonight is actually something I want to discuss with Brother Mao. ”

Mao Wenlong was not surprised, he nodded calmly: "Governor Chen has something to say, junior brother just listen." ”

"Don't hide it, the Holy Majesty ordered me to send troops to fight against you, but I don't think there is really a need for swords to fight each other between you and me, do you say Brother Mao?"

"Oh, but I don't know how Governor Chen is going to deal with this?" Mao Wenlong was a little surprised.

He had already discussed it with Hong Chengchou yesterday, and felt that Chen Qiyu invited him to come to meet, and it was very likely that he wanted to persuade himself to return to the imperial court again. However, judging from what Chen Qiyu said just now, Mao Wenlong felt that this was not the case.

Sure enough, after a little hesitation, Chen Qiyu said bluntly: "I want to make an appointment with Brother Mao for three chapters, and you and I will not use force for the time being." Give me a chance to completely exterminate the rogue, and as long as this matter is done, I will ask the Holy One to let the Holy One not bother with you about what happened last time. I wonder if Brother Mao can accept it? ”

Mao Wenlong frowned suddenly, in the final analysis, Chen Qiyu still meant that, and in the end, he still had to obey the dispatch of the imperial court again and continue to work for the imperial court.

Mao Wenlong, who had already lost confidence and hope in the imperial court, and knew that the future of the Ming Dynasty was not good, how could he agree to such a request. He immediately sneered: "If General Chen only comes to persuade me to return to the imperial court, then there will be nothing to talk about between us." ”

Chen Qiyu was very worried by Mao Wenlong's resolute attitude, but fortunately, he was still prepared before and prepared another set of plans.

"It seems that Brother Mao has been disappointed in the court, so it doesn't matter. I don't force Brother Mao, but I really want not to fight with Brother Mao, so if you have any requests, I can give you a chance. ”
