Early the next morning, Inspector Yuan indeed did not make any more unreasonable demands. Instead, he sent someone to inform Li Yuanqing that he wanted to inspect several military camps on Changsheng Island.

At this time, Li Yuanqing had basically figured out the "lifeblood" of Governor Yuan.

If I want to get in touch with him, Governor Yuan, my usual low manners, humility and respect, and heavy bribes are not enough.

The most important thing is to cater to his political views.

Although Li Yuanqing had tried hard before, he had never been able to get to the point where Governor Yuan was itchy. But yesterday, Li Yuanqing's rather fierce 'go straight in' made Governor Yuan feel that even if both sides There are many contradictions that cannot be reached for the time being, but~, on a deeper level, there is a possibility that the two sides can reach a certain consensus.

The big boss came over to inspect the military camp. Li Yuanqing was already familiar with the situation, so he didn't need to make too many deliberate arrangements. He just came as usual.

Because at this time, the entire military system of the Changsheng Camp was, without exaggeration, at least hundreds of years ahead of the traditional Ming army.

The fundamental problem cannot be solved. Even though Governor Yuan is talented, he can only paint the skin of a tiger, but it is difficult to paint the bones.

Time flies by.

In a flash, the time has come to the middle of October of the second year of Chongzhen, and Governor Yuan has stayed on Changsheng Island for more than ten days.

Since the meeting at Qingyue Tower that day, the relationship between Li Yuanqing and Governor Yuan also entered a short "honeymoon period."

Accompanied by Li Yuanqing, Governor Yuan personally measured almost every core location on Changsheng Island.

Of course, Governor Yuan is also self-aware. He will naturally not cause trouble for himself in places like the weapons workshop and horse farm on Changsheng Island.

At noon on October 19th, Li Yuanqing held a sumptuous banquet at Qingyue Tower and continued to have close political 'resonance' with Governor Yuan.

Governor Yuan arrived as promised and was in a good mood.

But after three drinks and five dishes, he smiled and said: "Li Junmen, thank you for your warm hospitality these days. However, this afternoon, I will go to Jinzhou. Li Junmen Are you willing to accompany me?"

"Master Governor, are you going to Jinzhou? Why don't you stay on Changsheng Island for a little longer and fulfill your humble duties as a landlord?"

Although Li Yuanqing's face remained calm, his heart was slightly tense.

Whatever is supposed to come will come sooner or later.

Inspector Yuan laughed heartily, and his mood became brighter, "The construction of Changsheng Island in recent years is indeed good, and Li Junmen has contributed a lot. However, the time agreed upon by me, Marshal Mao, and several generals for talks is coming soon. .You must always put state affairs first. Li Junmen, would you like to accompany me?"

This is already the second time that Governor Yuan has invited Li Yuanqing to accompany him. How could Li Yuanqing refuse? He smiled respectfully and said, "Serving the Governor is a blessing from a humble position."

…………

Governor Yuan's departure was much more urgent than Li Yuanqing imagined.

After lunch, he didn't even go back to the temporary military camp to rest, but rushed directly to the dock.

Fortunately, Li Yuanqing was well prepared, and Chen Zhong's personal guards had arrived at Changsheng Island long in advance.

But even though Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong were fully prepared, they both looked very flustered in appearance, obviously having to deal with Governor Yuan's schedule.

This immediately made Governor Yuan even more satisfied.

The blue sea is rippling with blue waves, but the ice near the coast has begun to show faint signs of freezing.

The shrill and cold sea wind is constantly howling and raging. Although the land of Jinzhou is right in front of you, because Li Yuanqing has withdrawn from Jinzhou's sphere of influence in advance, there are many houses scattered on the land near the sea.

But there were no fireworks floating out, making the whole world look somewhat indescribably depressed.

In the past two days since boarding the ship, Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong have been living in separate ships, guarding the two wings of Governor Yuan's ship.

At this time, until they were about to disembark and land, Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong had a chance to talk briefly.

Governor Yuan's boat has been lowered to the deck, and Chen Zhong said in a low voice: "Yuan Qing, is it possible that the commander-in-chief and others have already arrived?"

Li Yuanqing said calmly: "Brother, don't panic. Let's be patient and adapt to changes."

On the ship these two days, Chen Zhong had already figured out what Governor Yuan was thinking, but now that he heard what Li Yuanqing said, he felt more at ease. He nodded hurriedly and followed Li Yuanqing.

Come and welcome Governor Yuan off the ship.

Commander Yuan got off the ship and ordered his personal guards to go directly to the south of Jinzhou City. Sentries from the Dongjiang Headquarters came to greet them. Only then did Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong know that Commander Yuan had agreed on a place where Mao Wenlong and many surrounding generals would gather.

On a hill seven or eight miles south of Jinzhou City.

When Li Yuanqing and Governor Yuan arrived at Jinzhou City, it was already evening and the sky had begun to darken.

At this time, several camps had been gathered in the wilderness outside Jinzhou City.

Not only Mao Wenlong and Chen Jisheng came over, but also Shen Shikui from Lushun, including Zhang Pan and Chen Liangce, as well as brothers Shang Kexi and Shang Keyi from Ludao, brothers Geng Zhongming and Geng Zhongyu from Pidao Zuoxie, Mao Chenglu, Kong Youxing and others from the Chinese Army.

People are coming too.

Before Governor Yuan reached Mao Wenlong's main camp, Mao Wenlong led a large group of Dongjiang generals to greet him.

"Mao Wenlong, the humble commander-in-chief of Dongjiang, has met the governor."

Mao Wenlong knelt down respectfully in front of Governor Yuan.

Even though he and Governor Yuan were already at loggerheads, Mao Wenlong did not dare to neglect the rule of law and military affairs in the country.

Inspector Yuan burst out laughing: "Mao Junmen, there is no need to be polite. Please get up. Have you been here for a while?"

Mao Wenlong stood up hurriedly and said with a smile: "I am worried about you, Governor Lao. I have only been here for two days in a humble position."

While the two were talking, Mao Wenlong personally greeted Governor Yuan and walked towards his Chinese army camp. He had already prepared a sumptuous banquet.

As the two of them entered, a group of old brothers from Dongjiang immediately gathered around Li Yuanqing, shouting "Li Shuai, Li Shuai" continuously.

Li Yuanqing smiled and waved in response.

The same is true for Chen Zhong.

Soon, when Governor Yuan and Mao Wenlong and their entourage had entered the camp, and their personal followers followed, Mao Chenglu walked to Li Yuanqing's side with a smile, and laughed in a low voice: "Yuanqing, tonight, what?"

Don’t say it anymore. We brothers must give it a good fight. Look, this bitch Yuan Manzi has given in."

On the side, Shen Shikui also smiled and said: "Li Shuai, when the main banquet is over, we old brothers are all eagerly waiting for it."

Kong Youxing, brothers from the Shang family, and brothers from the Geng family also gathered around, showing their unwillingness to let Li Yuanqing go.

Li Yuanqing hurriedly raised his hands and said with a smile: "Brothers think highly of Yuan Qing, so Yuan Qing has no choice but to sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman. However, the brothers have to let Yuan Qing handle the main banquet."

Everyone couldn't help laughing.

At this time, Chen Jisheng hurriedly ran out, pulling Li Yuanqing and saying: "Let's go, Yuan Qing, everything is ready, just waiting for you and Chen Zhong. Everyone, hurry up."

The old brothers did not dare to delay the official business and hurriedly moved out of the way to let Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong go to Mao Wenlong's main banquet first.

The main banquet was held in Mao Wenlong's big tent. When Li Yuanqing, Chen Zhong, and Chen Jisheng arrived, the soldiers had already started serving food.

Governor Yuan and Mao Wenlong didn't know what they were talking about, but they seemed very happy.

At this level, even if you want to kill the other party, on the surface, the rules that should be in place must still be taken into consideration.

Seeing Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong coming, Mao Wenlong couldn't help but smile and said: "Yuan Qing, Chen Zhong, you are here. Very good. Sit down quickly."

Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong hurriedly greeted Mao Wenlong again, and then the guests and hosts took their seats.

Today is just the first day of talks, so naturally we can't stab each other directly.

Mao Wenlong and Governor Yuan were both considered heroes of the time, so naturally they would not be too direct at this time.

The atmosphere of the entire banquet was quite relaxed and lively, but on this occasion, if everyone wanted to have a good time, it was naturally impossible.

The banquet lasted for more than half an hour, and ended in a pleasant but indescribable ceremony.

Mao Wenlong personally sent Governor Yuan out of the camp gate.

Not far from Mao Wenlong's Chinese army camp, he had reserved a good camping area for Governor Yuan in advance.

At this time, with the help of many Dongjiang tribe's men, Governor Yuan's camp was quickly set up.

While watching Governor Yuan enter the camp, Mao Wenlong smiled and said to Li Yuanqing beside him: "Yuan Qing, I haven't seen you for many days. You are more energetic and calm than before."

Li Yuanqing smiled quickly and said: "Commander, your body is stronger than before."

Mao Wenlong couldn't help laughing: "Yuanqing, looking at this spring and summer offensive on the Dongjiang River, I am a little anxious."

Li Yuanqing hurriedly smiled and said: "Commander, this opportunity must not be missed, and it will never come back. If it were a humble position, he would choose the same as the commander-in-chief."

Mao Wenlong laughed and nodded, looking into Li Yuanqing's eyes, "Yuan Qing, you have never changed. I, Mao Wenlong, did not misjudge the person."

Li Yuanqing hurriedly said respectfully: "Commander, let's have a drink alone?"

Mao Wenlong smiled: "Let's wait for tomorrow. If I want to drag you out to drink now, the gang of bastards down there won't break the truth?"

Li Yuanqing did not expect that Mao Wenlong would be so humorous. He bowed his hands respectfully and said with a smile: "Commander, Yuan Qing will come to visit again tomorrow morning."

Mao Wenlong smiled and nodded, "Go, Yuan Qing. However, don't drink too much. Pay attention to protecting your body."

Li Yuanqing smiled again, cupped his hands, and then respectfully left Mao Wenlong's camp.

When Li Yuanqing came out, Chen Zhong was already surrounded by Mao Chenglu, Zhang Pan and others, who were talking and laughing about something.

Seeing Li Yuanqing coming, everyone quickly gathered around him.

Mao Chenglu directly pulled Li Yuanqing's sleeve and laughed loudly: "Yuanqing, let's go to my camp. The brothers can't wait any longer!"

Just as Li Yuanqing was about to speak, Mao Chenglu held his shoulders forcefully, and a group of old brothers immediately gathered around him, laughing and running towards Mao Chenglu's camp not far away.
