"Master? What Master? Brother, I don't understand what you mean?" Li Yuanqing looked at Chen Zhong calmly, pretending to be confused.

"Well?"

Chen Zhong couldn't help but be stunned. Could it be that the information was wrong?

Think about it, Li Yuanqing now has so many beautiful female relatives, how could he be lonely enough to find a nun?

"Yuan Qing, don't you know about this? Now it's spread in the camp. It's said that you went to the camp of a famous master last night and didn't come out until noon today..."

After all, he is his brother.

Chen Zhong thought for a while and decided to tell Li Yuanqing the truth.

Li Yuanqing couldn't help but become furious, "Brother, what kind of bastard is he? Dare to taint my innocence? I will definitely not let him go!"

Chen Zhong also said unhappily: "Yuan Qing, these days, we are indeed too kind! There are some bastards who always turn their backs and try to find bad luck for us. It seems that we have to find someone.

It’s time to give them a chance and give them some color.”

"..."

This time it was Li Yuanqing who was speechless.

However, I feel relieved when I think about it. According to Chen Zhong's temperament, it is really difficult for him to get entangled with these slutty gentry in Zhenjiang.

Although there are many conflicts of interest in Guanglu Island, most of the gentry in Guanglu Island came from Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong when they were in Guanglu Island. They were like Piaoping, leaving Chen Zhong and Li Yuanqing.

It's impossible for them to survive.

But these gentry in Zhenjiang are completely different.

All of them have great families and businesses, have been in business for many years, have experience, means, wealth, and experience.

In addition, the people of Zhenjiang migrated together with them, and the network of relationships between them was intricate, like a dense network, covering each other layer by layer.

Let’s take the simplest example.

When the children of ordinary farmers get married, no matter how poor they are, they still need to find someone to support them at the wedding banquet.

scene.

Not to mention, things like the parents of the East and the shortcomings of the West, weddings and funerals, tax burdens, etc.

If they can find connections, Chinese people will always try their best to find connections.

And this so-called relationship refers to the "capable people" in each tribe.

Most of these so-called "capable people" are entangled with the gentry group in Zhenjiang.

How can it be broken down in such a dense and complicated way over many years and in one place?

Chen Zhong must have suffered a lot these days to have such great resentment.

But at this time, the eight characters had just been drawn. Even if Li Yuanqing was unhappy, how could he dare to mess around?

"Brother, this matter is difficult. In the short term, we should focus on patience."

"Hey~~."

Chen Zhong couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Of course he understood Li Yuanqing's difficulties and whispered: "Yuan Qing, it's not that I can't bear it, but today, someone actually rumored that you have fallen in love with a nun. I really can't swallow this anger in my fucking heart. If I was

I know, who dares to talk nonsense like this, I will tear off his head and play it as a ball."

Li Yuanqing couldn't help but feel speechless for a moment. He couldn't tell Chen Zhong directly that he had deliberately let this news out...

But if Chen Zhong continues to be so entangled, there is no guarantee that something will not happen.

After thinking carefully for a moment, Li Yuanqing whispered: "Brother, I won't hide this from you. Last night, I did go to a nun's tent..."

"Well?"

Chen Zhong couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

He never dreamed that Li Yuanqing would actually...

"Yuan Qing, you, you, you..."

Chen Zhongshi didn't know how to describe his mood, let alone how to tell Li Yuanqing about this matter...

After a long time, he calmed down a little and whispered: "Yuan Qing, you, what are you going to do? What kind of woman do you want? Why bother... Hey! This matter must be settled as soon as possible.

If that doesn't work, just throw the nun into the sea."

Li Yuanqing has already achieved this at a young age, and he still has a bright future.

If by any chance he is affected by this matter, it is absolutely impossible for Chen Zhong to accept this matter.

Seeing that Chen Zhong was getting more and more confused as he spoke, Li Yuanqing hurriedly said: "Brother, what should I say about this matter? The nun and I fall in love. She has decided to return to secular life, and I am also prepared to take her as my concubine. So..."

"..."

Chen Zhong simply couldn't keep up with Li Yuanqing's rhythm. It took him a long time to realize, "Yuan Qing, then, then this matter must be cut through quickly and done as soon as possible."

Li Yuanqing chuckled and said, "Brother, it doesn't matter. They can say whatever they want. I won't steal or rob, because I'm afraid he will be a loser. Don't worry, brother, I can handle this matter."

…………

After finally comforting Chen Zhong, Li Yuanqing breathed a sigh of relief.

If Chen Zhong really did something to destroy Li Yuanqing's reputation, it would really be a sin.

Fortunately, Li Yuanqing had a long memory and directly set up Master Huimin's camp near his main tent, and Chen Chuang personally guarded it.

However, the news began to spread in the camp like the wind.

The general actually has this hobby, "If he doesn't like red makeup, he loves nuns." This is really...

Although Master Huimin has a high influence among the common people, among the gentry, she is just a weak female stream. She is far from reaching the level and cannot cause harm to their actual interests. They just treat her as a joke.

, a romantic affair.

As a result, although this matter has become more and more widespread, it has noses and eyes, and I almost want to publish it, it has not caused a very widespread impact.

…………

In a flash, the time has come to the eleventh day of the first lunar month. The fleet returning from Changsheng Island successfully arrived at the mouth of the river, and everyone began to board the ship in an orderly manner.

During these days, although the Houjin army made several tentative waves of oppression and attacks, they were all beaten back viciously by the main force of Dongjiang, and they gained dozens of Tatar heads in vain.

Seeing this, the Jin army did not dare to mess around again, so they could only confront the Ming army and intimidate the Ming army with words and actions.

However, the main force of Dongjiang has been cleansed by the Battle of Zhenjiang and has grown rapidly in all aspects. They started a verbal war with the Tatars without showing any weakness and did not fall behind at all.

The morale of the Ming army has been raised, and it will be difficult for the Tatars to suppress it again.

On Li Yuanqing's side, there were not many affairs. Apart from routine defense inspections, he spent more time 'running in' with Master Huimin.

The more he got to know her better, the more Li Yuanqing discovered that this woman with a pure heart was far from being cold and arrogant on the outside, but rather a fiery heart.

Although verbally, it is difficult for the two of them to talk together, physically, the two of them have already been very smooth, without any hindrance.

After a day and night of busy work, on the morning of the twelfth day of the first lunar month, all the people had boarded the ship and were ready to set off at any time.

At this time, Mao Wenlong also led Zhang Pan, Mao Chenglu, Chen Jisheng and others from the headquarters camp two miles away to see Li Yuanqing off.

"Yuan Qing, it's been almost half a year, thank you for your hard work. Have a safe journey."

On the ice bank, Mao Wenlong patted Li Yuanqing's shoulder heavily, feeling very energetic.

Li Yuanqing smiled and nodded, "Commander, the same goes for you. You must take good care of yourself."

Mao Wenlong laughed loudly, "Yuan Qing, don't worry. The situation in Dongjiang is getting better and better. Coupled with the gains from this Zhenjiang battle, I have full confidence in the future."

Li Yuanqing smiled and nodded.

In the history without his appearance, the conditions of the Dongjiang River were extremely harsh, even to the point that ordinary people could not imagine.

But Mao Wenlong is still like a weed, growing strong.

Especially in the fifth year of Tianqi, the Dongjiang Headquarters continued to grow rapidly, carrying out large-scale landing operations in large areas, instead of blindly fighting small battles and relying on intelligence warfare and guerrilla warfare like before.

Even in the second half of the fifth year of Tianqi, the main troops of Dongjiang Headquarters were once forced to the area near Shenyang City.

This was also the closest the Ming army came to Shenyang City since the rise of the Later Jin Dynasty. In the following decades, the Ming army never had a chance to approach Shenyang City or even Guangning City.

After some pleasantries, Mao Wenlong glanced around and suddenly lowered his voice and said to Li Yuanqing: "Yuanqing, what's going on with that nun?"

"Huh?" Li Yuanqing was stunned. For a moment, he pretended to grit his teeth and said, "Commander, this is a matter of selfishness."

"..."

Mao Wenlong couldn't help but be speechless for a moment. He didn't expect the rumors to come true. This...

"Hey. Yuan Qing, what do you want me to say about you? It would be a pity if your great future was sacrificed for a nun! Hey!!!"

Facing Mao Wenlong's elder-like scolding, how could Li Yuanqing dare to say more? He hung his head like a primary school student and allowed Mao Wenlong to scold him.

Mao Wenlong scolded him for a while, but he also knew that what he said was a bit too much. After all, Li Yuanqing was far from human. Even if he had this small mistake, how could he cover up his great achievements?

"Yuan Qing, please handle this matter as cleanly as possible. As for the court, I will explain it to you."
