Chen Jiahao's explanation, Mao Wenlong didn't care at all, he heard that the person who could speak the Yi language was a member of the Chen family, so he immediately didn't welcome it and asked Chen Jiahao to bring someone over immediately.

The matter was urgent, and Chen Jiahao did not dare to delay, so he retreated to do things after receiving the order. Mao Wenlong didn't wait long, and after two days, Chen Jiahao brought him a young man.

Mao Wenlong asked the young man in person, got it confirmed, and then led him to the place where the one-eyed man and the captain were held. Ask him to find out where their lair is, and how many people are still in the pirate's den?

The young man didn't dare to shirk the slightest, obviously he had been instructed by the Chen family patriarch before he came, and he didn't dare to show any confidence in front of Mao Wenlong.

After an hour of conversation, the young man of the Chen family finally asked what Mao Wenlong wanted to know. After the report of the young man of the Chen family, Mao Wenlong knew that these Yiren pirates actually came from Xiangjiang Island.

Fortunately, the power of these Yi pirates is not large, according to the old man called the captain, Mao Wenlong learned that there are not many Yi people on Xiangjiang Island, only more than 300 people.

Knowing this, Mao Wenlong was not satisfied, and by the way, he asked the young man of the Chen family to learn about the current situation on Xiangjiang Island. According to his description, the island is still barren, and most of the pirates on the island are stationed, but there are very few aborigines.

After Mao Wenlong consulted with Chengzuo, he decided to take this Xiangjiang Island, and in order to completely eradicate the pirates on the island, a strong navy was needed.

Fortunately, Mao Wenlong still has some strength now, and he asked Chen Jiahao to bring the letter he wrote to the Chen family patriarch. He was asked to immediately send his troops and horses.

Chen Jiahao didn't say much, and was ordered to go to do something, and Mao Wenlong also began to prepare for the attack on Xiangjiang Island. But at this moment, Zhu Yihai suddenly sent someone to invite Mao Wenlong to the government office in the city to meet, saying that he had something important to discuss.

Although Mao Wenlong felt confused, he still handed over the trivial matters to Cheng Zuo and Haoda to take care of, and he himself was invited to go with a few guards.

After more than ten days of governance, the city has obviously stabilized, and the people are free to move around the city at will. Most of the markets have also returned to their open state, and the prosperity of the past is gradually revealed.

Zhu Yihai had already prepared wine and food at this moment, waiting for Mao Wenlong's arrival, until the housekeeper came to report that Mao Wenlong had arrived. Zhu Yihai immediately dressed properly and ordered everyone to greet him outside the mansion, although Zhu Yihai is the current person in charge of the provincial capital, he does not dare to be a little neglectful of Mao Wenlong.

Zhu Yihai was dressed in formal clothes, standing at the gate of the mansion, and just happened to see Mao Wenlong coming slowly with the support of several guards. A sincere smile jumped on his face, and Zhu Yihai smiled from afar: "Letting the chief soldier come over in his busy schedule really makes this king unhappy, and I hope that the chief soldier Haihan is." ”

"Hahaha, why are you and me so unfamiliar, it's rare that you still don't treat me Mao as your own?" Although Mao Wenlong smiled on the surface, there was still a hint of blame in his tone.

Laughter is a symbol of politeness, and in this country of etiquette, the ancients always liked to put a smile on their faces no matter how they spoke. Hiding his true heart and wearing a mask of hypocrisy to communicate with others is very unaccustomed to Mao Wenlong at the beginning. But nearly ten years have passed since he came to Daming, and he has also been as good as a stream, and he has unconsciously and passively learned to disguise himself.

Zhu Yihai faced Mao Wenlong's reproach, but he didn't care, the smile on his face did not decrease but increased, and he said with a smile: "It's not strange that there are many people, the general army is busy with things at sea, and he is also helping this king stabilize the water and soil of the provincial capital." How can a little etiquette express the king's gratitude to the general soldiers. ”

Mao Wenlong secretly rolled his eyes, but he still smiled on the surface: "The prince's heart Mao accepted it, but I didn't know that the prince was so anxious to ask Mao to come, I don't know what the important thing is?" ”

"Hahaha...... Looking at this king's memory, it is rude to only care about talking to Brother Mao. Hurry up and follow me to the mansion and say, this king has prepared wine and food for Brother Mao, and we will talk while eating. ”

Zhu Yihai pretended to have a sudden expression, and then politely invited Mao Wenlong to enter the mansion. Mao Wenlong replied with a smile on his face, and strode into the mansion with Zhu Yihai.

As soon as the two of them sat down, Zhu Yihai didn't talk any more, and after the toast, he said bluntly: "Brother Mao, I called you over in a hurry for my brother this time, because I have an urgent matter to discuss with my brother." ”

Mao Wenlong glanced at Zhu Yihai quietly, and was silent for a moment before responding: "Brother Zhu has something to say, but it doesn't matter, as long as the junior brother can do it, it will not be postponed!" ”

Zhu Yihai was overjoyed when he heard this, and only after thanking him did he get down to business: "This king heard that my brother captured a group of Yiren pirates at sea this time, I don't know if this matter is true?" ”

While speaking, Zhu Yihai kept paying attention to the changes on Mao Wenlong's face, as if he was afraid that he would miss something in the middle?

But Mao Wenlong behaved very calmly, he immediately nodded and admitted: "That's right, the little brother did catch a lot of Yiren pirates at sea. Brother Zhu is interested in these pirates? ”

"Alas, the elder brother should know that this king has now cooperated with the Ouyang family. And this Ouyang family does have the ability, in just ten days, the chaos in the provincial capital has been suppressed, and the market and the people have begun to gradually recover. And this Ouyang family has actually always had a deep relationship with these Yi pirates, and when the Japanese pirates were prevalent, the Ouyang family also had to rely on these Yi people to be able to confront the Japanese pirates at sea, and now it is ......"

Zhu Yihai paused here for a moment, and saw that Mao Wenlong didn't find anything wrong before continuing: "Now these Yiren pirates have been arrested by my brother, and I heard that they will send troops to destroy their lair, I don't know if there is such a thing?" ”

Mao Wenlong looked at Zhu Yihai with puzzled eyes, and his heart fluctuated slightly at this moment. Judging from what Zhu Yihai said just now, it is not difficult for Mao Wenlong to see that Zhu Yihai is currently wearing the same pants as the Ouyang family. Now he is talking directly for the Ouyang family, which is a bad signal!

The Ouyang family actually got so close to Zhu Yihai in such a short period of time, and if it continued like this, it wouldn't be long before Mao Wenlong, an ally, was likely to be kicked away by Zhu Yihai.

The Ouyang family's movements were so fast, which made Mao Wenlong unexpected, and he had secretly raised the Ouyang family's vigilance by a notch.

Shaking his head, Mao Wenlong said, "Brother Zhu, there is nothing to discuss about pirates. These pirates have now occupied the entire Xiangjiang Island, and this time the younger brother sent troops to take Xiangjiang Island back. Other things can be discussed, but there is nothing the younger brother can do about this matter. ”

When Zhu Yihai heard this, his face immediately changed, he probably didn't expect Mao Wenlong to respond so resolutely.
