Chapter 41: Turning Hostility into Friendship

Chen Jisheng shocked all the catchers with one move, so that they did not dare to act rashly again. At this time, Shen Ba rescued his son and was walking out, just now he had been paying attention to Mao Wenlong and the others, Ye County's head catcher skills can be said to be the best in the county, but he couldn't make a few moves with Mao Wenlong's men.

This is even more affirmative of Mao Wenlong's identity must not be simple, he hurriedly threw down his son and stepped forward, bowed deeply to Mao Wenlong and said: "Don't do it, everyone, the old man has asked the dog about this, the fault is on the dog's body, Li Zhutou don't block the way of the son, the old man will personally explain this matter to your county order after he returns." ”

Hearing this, of course the head catcher understood what Shen Ba meant, and hurriedly said: "Since this is the case, then we will no longer interfere in this matter and leave!" ”

Li Zhutou didn't stop long, immediately shouted, and took a few of his subordinates to turn over and leave the horse.

Chen Jisheng didn't want to let go of that Li Zhutou yet, but before he moved, Mao Wenlong stopped him first.

Seeing that the matter had subsided, Shen Ba smiled and bowed his hand to Mao Wenlong again to show his gratitude, and then without saying much, he turned around and went back to the carriage. Leaving with a group of nurses and injured sons.

After such a fuss, it was almost dusk at this time, and Mao Wenlong, who originally wanted to rush to Shenjia Town to settle down. simply didn't leave, and told Chen Jisheng to bury the pot and cook, and sleep here tonight.

Although they all know that this place is not suitable for camping, they will inevitably have to travel at night to Shenjia Town. Now there are two more carriages in the ranks, pulling 100,000 taels of silver, which is even more unsafe.

So after all, everyone still thinks that Mao Wenlong advocates that it is safer to spend the night here. Everyone had no opinions, so they naturally followed Mao Wenlong's orders, and soon set up a tent and made a fire to cook in the division of labor.

After some busy work, the aroma of rice soon wafted around, and it was still pouring rice bowls. Tonight's rice was full, and Chen Jisheng knew that he would arrive in Shenjia Town tomorrow, so he didn't save any more.

It was completely dark, and a dozen or so people sat around the fire, each carrying a large bowl full of 'pouring rice' and gobbling it up.

Especially Shen Qing, who tasted this delicious food for the first time, he almost didn't have to chew it, and he poured a big bowl into his stomach in a few bites. Licking his face and carrying the bowl, he came to Chen Jisheng, and said with a smile: "General Chen, can you have another bowl." ”

Chen Jisheng didn't even look at it, and said coldly: "It's gone!" ”

As he spoke, his bowl was empty, and he was adding rice to his bowl.

Shen Qing didn't give up, he could see clearly that there was still more than half of the cauldron, and begged again: "General Chen, just half a bowl, just give me half a bowl!" ”

Chen Jisheng added a bowl of food for himself, and then squinted at Shen Qing, and said with a sneer: "You still want to eat, you can, a bowl of one hundred taels." ”

"One...... One hundred taels! ”

Shen Qing's face was full of disbelief, although there is money in this world, sometimes he can't buy things. But one hundred taels is enough for an ordinary family of four to spend a year.

Although the 'pouring rice bowl' in front of me is delicious, it costs 100 taels for a bowl, which is too outrageous.

"What, don't you want it? If you don't want it, just go away, don't bother Lao Tzu to enjoy. Chen Jisheng looked surprised when he saw Shen Qing, and immediately ordered an expulsion order.

Shen Qing suddenly gritted his teeth and said viciously: "Yes, I want it!" ”

As he spoke, he neatly took out two silver ingots from his arms and handed them to Chen Jisheng: "Can you eat enough for one hundred taels, or can you only eat one bowl?" ”

Looking at the white silver in front of him, Chen Jisheng was stunned for a while before he reacted. Just now, he just casually said that he would send Shen Qing away, but he didn't expect this guy to really come up with a hundred taels.

"Hehe, not bad, for the sake of your kid, let's eat it yourself." While Chen Jisheng spoke, he had already received the money into his arms.

Seeing that his silver reached someone else's pocket in the blink of an eye, Shen Qing was very distressed. But he can't manage so much, although a hundred taels is a lot, but it hasn't reached the level of killing him, at most it's just a little distressed.

"Thank you, General Chen." He stopped talking nonsense, thanked him casually, and went up to serve his own meal.

The scene that happened between the two of them just now was completely watched by Hong Ziyan who was not far away, she glanced at Mao Wenlong, who seemed to be unaware, and couldn't help but remind in a low voice: "Brother Mao, don't you care if your subordinates are greedy for money in private?" ”

Mao Wenlong squinted at Chen Jisheng, who was still immersed in eating, and then turned around and smiled: "This kid is clever, and the silver is also earned by him with his ability, not greedy for ink." ”

Faced with such a strange answer, Hong Ziyan was stunned for a long time, and after coming back to her senses, she couldn't help but say: "You connived at your subordinates like this, aren't you afraid that something will happen sooner or later?" ”

Mao Wenlong is a general in Liaodong, and Hong Ziyan already knows about this, although he doesn't know what kind of general he is. But as a general, she led the troops like this, which obviously reversed her concept.

You must know that Hong Ziyan's father Hong Chengchou is notoriously strict, and he leads the troops in a set, and the military discipline is very strict. If Chen Jisheng was on an errand under her father and dared to do such a thing, he would definitely not be able to run away with a military stick.

Mao Wenlong didn't care, shrugged his shoulders and smiled: "What's there to be afraid of, you can't compare it with your father's set." You must know that resisting the Tartars in Liaodong is different from quelling civil unrest here. ”

"Why is it different, is it different to lead troops to fight?" Hong Ziyan was obviously very unconvinced when she heard Mao Wenlong say this.

"It's different, it's different. Liaodong is adjacent to the Tartars, and it is difficult for the imperial court to deliver supplies, and even if they can be delivered, they are only supplies after seven deductions and eight deductions. This kind of supply makes you think that you can feed the soldiers stationed in Liaodong, it is impossible, if we don't consciously find a way to get supplies, we will starve to death a long time ago, and talk about resisting the Tartars. ”

Mao Wenlong's words are half-true, in fact, he himself doesn't know if this is the case, but according to the understanding of later generations, it is almost like this.

Hong Ziyan's eyebrows were furrowed, she felt that Mao Wenlong was ridiculous like this, but she couldn't find any reason to refute it, so she was silent for a while.

Mao Wenlong obviously didn't want to talk about this matter further, just now he had specially asked Haoda to find out if there was a water source nearby, and Haoda had already come to report that there was a pond not far away.

Mao Wenlong had already started to have crooked thoughts, remembering the fragrant scene under the Flying Eagle Mountain a few days ago, he had an impulse that rushed straight to his brain.

After looking at Chen Lanyou and looking at Hong Ziyan, Mao Wenlong said seriously: "Do you want to take a bath, I just found a pond behind the woods." ”
