Chapter 222: Trading
In the Mao Mansion Hall, Mao Wenlong was in the first place, and the next place was Ren Tianming, the new head of the Fusang Sect, who suddenly came to visit and had been missing for nearly a year.
The hall was quite quiet, Mao Wenlong was drinking tea and looking at Ren Tianming, who was also carefully observing Mao Wenlong, and the two had been silent since they met.
In just one year, Mao Wenlong saw Ren Tianming's changes, this guy seems to be more stable and calm than before. It's been half an hour since the two met, and this guy has been patiently silent except for the politeness at the beginning.
Mao Wenlong was quite curious about why this guy came, and he was not in a hurry, anyway, there was a lot of time now, so Mao Wenlong was ready to spend it with Ren Tianming.
seemed to see Mao Wenlong's original intention, Ren Tianming finally gave in a little and took the lead in speaking: "It has been a year since the last time Mr. Mao parted. β
Mao Wenlong sneered in his heart, of course he wouldn't take a scene like this seriously, and smiled casually: "To borrow your auspicious words, this general soldier is still living a good life." However, the sudden visit of the sect leader this time, I don't think it will just be a celebration for the general soldier, right? β
Turning to the topic, just in line with Ren Tianming's intentions, this guy immediately smiled: "First of all, Ren should correct General Mao, I am not the leader of the Fusang Sect, of course, this is on the bright side." Also, General Mao may not know that there are currently two groups of people quietly approaching Ye County, and their goal is obvious, that is, to come to General Mao. β
Mao Wenlong paused for a moment, then relaxed again, and said nonchalantly: "Since the general army has gained an open foothold in Yexian, he has long been ready to fight for the world. Not to mention a gang or two, it's normal for several major forces to come against me. β
The implication is obviously to imply that Ren Tianming and ordinary forces came to Ye County, but he Mao Wenlong didn't care, and he was completely sure that he could resolve any surprise attack or crisis.
Mao Wenlong's self-confidence is, of course, from the strength of his Dongjiang army, so to speak, in the territory of Henan. Whether it is the imperial court or the rebel army that keeps stumbling, it is not the opponent of the Dongjiang Army at all.
Under this premise, Mao Wenlong didn't have any worries at all, and the only thing he would scruple about was to protect Yexian County from the baptism of war.
Yexian is Mao Wenlong's current nest and the main supplier of grain. Before Xuzhou failed to open up a large area of cultivated land, Ye County was always the top priority.
Seeing Mao Wenlong's self-confidence, Ren Tianming actually didn't know the bottom of his heart, but this time he had something to ask for Mao Wenlong. It was also he who accidentally learned that someone was going to assassinate Mao Wenlong, and thought of taking advantage of the convenience of selling the news to ask Mao Wenlong for some benefits, or form an alliance with Mao Wenlong.
Since Ren Tianming and his lover took control of the Fusang Sect, their lives have not been easy in the past year. From Henan to Shaanxi, and then to Sichuan, there is no room for survival.
The sudden strength of the imperial court and the frequent deployment of troops all dealt a devastating blow to the Fuso Sect. And the rebel army, on which the Fuso religion relied for its survival, is no longer as scattered as before.
Especially when Zhang Xianzhong was killed by Mao Wenlong, and King Chuang was destroyed by the imperial court, all the rebel armies began to move closer to Li Zicheng, who is still active.
According to Ren Tianming's inquiry, he learned that the original subordinates of King Chuang began to defect to Li Zicheng, and intended to nominate Li Zicheng as the new King Chuang.
Although such a possibility is not very high at present, after all, other forces have not yet fully convinced Li Zicheng, and it will take some time to complete the great unification.
But Ren Tianming knows the truth very well, as long as the imperial court continues to fight the rebel army strongly, and Li Zicheng is not surprised, he will eventually unify all the rebel armies. At that time, the Fusang Sect of Tianming would be in danger, mixed with the great forces of the Quartet, and it would be necessary to find a way to survive. Then the only way to find a reliable and powerful force to take refuge in, and Ren Tianming just chose Mao Wenlong.
"General Mao, this time the enemy is preparing to assassinate you in the dark, not with troops in the open. As the saying goes, guns are easy to dodge and dark arrows are difficult to defend, like this, there are people secretly staring at you all the time every day, ready to stretch out a knife to you at any time, can you hide from the first day of junior high school and the fifteenth? β
Ren Tianming didn't seem to want to give up lightly, he still held on to his confidence and was ready to persuade Mao Wenlong to cooperate with the Fusang Sect. After all, when it comes to matters in the dark or in the rivers and lakes, their Fuso Sect is absolutely capable of dealing with any unfavorable situation.
Mao Wenlong glanced at Ren Tianming, which made him vaguely guess in his heart that the person who might come to assassinate him should be sent by the imperial court. After all, since the attack on the Guide Mansion, the reaction of the imperial court has been too abnormal, which Mao Wenlong has long doubted.
Now listening to Ren Tianming say this, how can he not understand the truth. The only thing that made him wonder was that Chongzhen actually wanted to play a game of assassination with him? Obviously, this was indeed unexpected by Mao Wenlong.
After pondering for a moment, Mao Wenlong sneered: "Tell me, what is your purpose?" β
When it comes to things, there is no need to hide it here, Mao Wenlong is ready to open the skylight and say something bright and put the matter on the bright side.
Ren Tianming breathed a sigh of relief, he had already learned from Mao Wenlong's tone that he was interested in the purpose of his visit.
Immediately, Ren Tianming stopped going around in circles, he chuckled and said, "Ren Mou's coming this time is a fool, of course he won't do stupid things like being reminded of his obligations." And my request is very simple, I just hope that General Mao can provide us with a safe place for the Fusang Sect in the land under your rule. Of course, in return, all those who dare to be unfavorable to you in secret, our Fuso Sect can completely settle for you. β
"Do you want me to shelter your Fuso Sect?" Mao Wenlong's eyebrows immediately tightened.
The Fusang Sect did not intend to let go of Mao Wenlong from the beginning, although the previous sect leader of the island country had died, and now it was Ren Tianming who was in charge of the identity of the Ming Dynasty in front of him. But Mao Wenlong still didn't have any good feelings about Fusang.
Ren Tianming nodded and said, "Yes, we only need General Mao to provide shelter for our Fusang Sect." β
Mao Wenlong was not polite at all, and shook his head on the spot and refused: "You are too naΓ―ve, some young people can't threaten this general soldier at all." Why should I place you beside me this element of instability? There is no need to talk about this matter, and the general soldier will definitely not agree. β
The change in Mao Wenlong's attitude was too sudden, and the smile on Ren Tianming's face instantly condensed, and he exclaimed: "General Mao, this matter is not child's play, you must know that the people who came to assassinate you are Jinyiwei and the East Factory, the West Factory, ......."
