King Fu of Nanjing waited for nearly ten days, but he never waited for Mao Wenlong's reply to him. This made him feel very uncomfortable, and it also stimulated his curiosity about Mao Wenlong.

Mao Wenlong's current movements are unknown, and he has neither raised a banner to openly rebel against the imperial court, but he is also not bound by the imperial court. During this period, although he cooperated with Li Zicheng, the chaotic party, he secretly harmed Li Zicheng to the court afterwards.

His various deeds, King Fu has been collecting and paying attention to, and it is because of this that King Fu is so interested in Mao Wenlong. But he kindly put down his body and wanted to make friends with Mao Wenlong, but Mao Wenlong didn't even respond.

In this regard, King Fu felt a little unhappy in his heart, and immediately gathered with his four major generals to discuss!

"What do you mean by this Mao Wenlong, doesn't this king even have the face to let him respond?" King Fu's tone was very unkind, and it was obvious that there was a lot of anger in his heart.

Gao Jie, the head of the generals of the four towns in Jiangbei, immediately said: "King Fu should not be in a hurry, then Mao Wenlong was proud of the spring breeze at this time, and he had no contact with King Fu before. Therefore, his subordinates guessed that he must not recognize King Fu, so he was treated like this. ”

Huang Degong also said in a timely manner: "What Brother Gao said is true, after all, we have always been very low-key, one is to avoid the worries of the imperial court, and the other is that secret development is the last word." Therefore, it is inevitable that people outside do not know the blessed king! ”

Being said by two subordinates like this, King Fu's heart felt a lot better, and he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "According to what you say, it is really possible that Mao Wenlong does not know this king." ”

Seeing that King Fu was finally relieved and no longer entangled in Mao Wenlong's lack of reply, the four generals were also slightly relieved. At present, the imperial court has successfully attacked Li Zicheng, and Shanxi has returned to the hands of the imperial court.

Although there is Huang Taiji making trouble at the border pass, as long as the court does not need to fight at both ends, it is not difficult to just hold the checkpoint. So at such a critical juncture, they don't want King Fu to make any trouble here, and it will be difficult to clean it up at that time.

The four of them just breathed a sigh of relief, but they were taken aback by King Fu's whim. I only heard him suddenly say with great interest: "Since Mao Wenlong didn't reply to the letter because he didn't know this king, then this king decided to meet him and get to know each other face to face." ”

The four generals suddenly looked at each other, and from the eyes of the four of them, they obviously showed helpless looks. They are all very familiar with King Fu's understanding, and now it seems that the peace of mind just now is just their wishful thinking!

"King Fu, but don't be careless, we haven't fully grasped Mao Wenlong's current situation, if we go to ask him to meet at this time, I guess he won't agree." Gao Jie didn't dare to slack off, even if he opened his mouth to persuade.

Huang Degong also said to Zhu Gaosong at Gao Jie's suggestion: "Even if Ye Shaolong agrees to King Fu, we are still not sure whether he will be unfavorable to us, so please think twice before acting!" ”

"Please think twice before acting, and focus on big things!" Liu Liangzuo and Liu Zeqing also said in unison.

But this time King Fu seemed to have made up his mind, he did not listen to the persuasion, and waved his hand indifferently: "Why should you be so careful, if it is only for the sake of safety, you can go with me then." Also, we don't have to go to see Mao Wenlong openly at the beginning, we can observe secretly for a period of time first, and then depending on the situation. ”

Seeing that King Fu had already said this, the four generals knew that no matter how much they persuaded him, they couldn't stop it. The four then deliberated for a moment and finally came to an agreement. Gao Jie said to King Fu: "I hope King Fu will be able to do what he says, and don't act privately." ”

Finally waiting for the consent of the four generals, King Fu was immediately overjoyed, and he laughed and said: "Since this is the case, then we will make up our minds!" ”

Before setting off to Xi'an, King Fu spent three days to prepare, and he handed over all the political affairs in Nanjing to the military advisers. And the four major generals also let their lieutenants go back to take care of military affairs.

Three days later, everyone explained everything at hand, and then on the morning of the fourth day, they dressed up as a caravan and set off for Xi'an with fifty master guards.

Xi'an, after Mao Wenlong entered the city, has been developing in the direction of the capital. And Mao Wenlong is indeed preparing to temporarily set up the capital in Xi'an, so that the rapid development of this city can be imagined.

In less than half a year, it has been built from a dilapidated city full of collapsed houses to the current three-storey building, and the streets have been completely paved with cement.

Half a year ago, there were less than 1,000 long-term residents in Xi'an, but now there are nearly 100,000. Mao Wenlong divided the whole city into four areas, namely the common people's residential area in the eastern city, the commercial and trade area in the western city, the official residence in the southern city, and the garrison area in the northern city.

The only areas in the city that are usually open to the public are the commercial and trade areas of the east and west of the city, and except for these two areas, which are completely closed. This can effectively prevent outsiders from fishing in troubled waters, and can also ensure the safety of the city to the greatest extent.

After wandering for more than half a month, King Fu and his caravan finally arrived in Xi'an, and they came from Xuzhou all the way. Since they entered Xuzhou, they have seen countless farmlands along the way, and there is hardly an inch of arable land in Xuzhou that is abandoned.

Moreover, the growth of those grains is gratifying, and they all look like they are about to have a bumper harvest, and there is still the previous rumored saying that the red land is 3,000 miles, desolate, and people eat people.

King Fu also found that the main roads in Xuzhou were flat and spacious, and I don't know what kind of thing was poured on, and the carriage walked on it, not only fast but also quite smooth, and almost did not feel a trace of bumps.

In order to understand how these cement roads were caused, King Fu was stunned and delayed in Xuzhou for five days. In the end, he inquired about something called cement, and in order to see what kind of magic this cement is, King Fu did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to buy cement from the local government.

When he never arrived in Xi'an, King Fu and his four generals already had a prosperous scene in their hearts. However, when they actually entered the city of Xi'an, they were still deeply shocked by the scene in front of them!

"Is this the city of Xi'an? When did it become like this? King Fu stood at the gate of the city and couldn't help but exclaim.

There happened to be a local people passing by, who heard King Fu's exclamation, and saw his hillbilly look, the old man shook his waist and muttered disdainfully: "Countryman, I have never seen the world." Turtles! ”
