At the foot of Xiaobie Mountain, the Han River winds by, and Hou Xuanyan and his soldiers are taking a bath in the river. They wash from head to toe. Although the river water is cool, Hou Xuanyan's body has gradually become stronger after training these days.

After washing it, he walked to the river naked and picked up his clothes, put them under his nose and almost fainted. When he looked down at his fair body, he was about to put it in these dirty clothes. Hou Xuanyan felt a little aggrieved.

The smell of blood and sweat, coupled with the smell of mud after rain, is simply wonderful. It has been seven days since the battle outside Hanyang City that day, and he has not had a good sleep.

At this time, two soldiers on the shore ran over and shouted, "Supervisor, Supervisor!"

Hou Xuanyan put on his clothes, tied it with a jade belt, and asked, "What happened to me here?" Over the past few days, the number of Qing soldiers in Hanyang Prefecture has increased. Although they do not directly attack themselves, they like to follow them very much. Hou Xuanyan already knew that the leaders of the city were Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming, so they were three points higher than the combat power of these Qing soldiers. Since they did not come to beat them, Hou Xuanyan was so happy, but others did not feel good after all, so Hou Xuanyan was very frustrated recently.

Two slanted shoulder soldiers supported each other, jogging and panting, saying, "General, there is news from Jiangxi that Huang Zongzhou led his troops to Jiangxi, was defeated by Jin Shenghuan, the pseudo-Qing Jiangxi admiral, and led the remaining troops to Chenzhou. They were rescued by General Zhang Huangyan who was recruiting troops there. Uh...helped."

The soldier next to him slapped him in the head and cursed: "He was captured by General Zhang."

Hou Xuanyan covered his stomach and laughed, saying, "It's hard for him to lead troops across Ganzhou and escape all the way to Huguang." As he smiled, Hou Xuanyan suddenly turned his face and said in a deep voice: "How did Zhang Huangyan deal with it?"

The soldier thought about it and replied: "General Zhang, General Zhang, stayed in Chenzhou, and tried his best to explain your intention to kill He Tengjiao. Unfortunately, Master Huang Ge was stubborn and could not understand the loyalty of the General."

Hou Xuanyan sneered and said, "I am doing openly and upright, and I am loyal to the world. Why should I explain it like a corrupt scholar? I sent someone to quickly pass the orders to cut off the old thief Huang Zongzhou from his head and take them back to Fuzhou. At the same time, it spread throughout Fuzhou in my name, and said who dared to control the government again, bewitched the emperor, and did not respect the saint's will and used a rash move. He attacked 300,000 soldiers in the north, so why should he be sad to go south to Qingjun?"

"Huang Zongzhou is a fool, where is his deputy general Shi Lang?"

The soldier smiled and said, "When he returned to the commander-in-chief, Shi Lang kept offering advice along the way, and Huang Zongzhou didn't listen to one sentence. Shi Lang predicted that he would be defeated and was unwilling to accompany him to die. He abandoned him in advance and fled back to Fujian."

There were cheerful laughters sounding by the river again. Sometimes people who were extremely stupid could steal the upper hand.

In Chenzhou Prefecture, in Guiyang City, Zhang Huangyan was heartfelt in front of the hall. The person sitting upright in the hall was Huang Zongzhou, the chief minister of the Longwu Dynasty.

"Ge Master, please listen to me. Without Hou Xuanyan, the 300,000 troops in the Northern Expedition would be like a pile of sand, fighting each other. At that time, who will rely on to block the Tartars?"

Huang Zongzhou slanted his face, blew his beard and stared at him, and said sternly: "Hou Xuanyan is good at killing ministers, and his wolfish ambition is more important than Jiannu! Besides, a mere yellow-haired child who killed the so-called 300,000 Northern Expedition Army is the power of the court." At this point, he stood up, walked to Zhang Huangyan, held his hand and said: "Xuanzhu, I know you have always been a loyal and virtuous minister, and you can't follow Hou Xuanyan and go on a slanted road. He valued you so much, and he would definitely not be careful if you want to kill him. The fate of the Ming Dynasty is in your hands!"

Zhang Huangyan was speechless. The Prime Minister in front of him was simply a person who could not be persuaded. The reason he believed was that even if Confucius was resurrected, he would tell him in front of him that my saint was not the case. He would stick to his own opinions and refute a few words."

Huang Zongzhou was still not giving up, and was still chattering in the hall, instigating Zhang Huangyan to kill Hou Xuanyan. Zhang Huangyan sighed and interrupted him and said, "Gei Master Huang, I will send someone to send you back to Fuzhou tomorrow."

A sneer sounded outside the door, and Liu Ting and dozens of soldiers appeared quietly in front of the hall. Zhang Huangyan sweated coldly. These people acted like ghosts, and their personal soldiers were unconscious. Liu Ting was Hong Yizhuo's capable general and the second leader of that mysterious army.

"If the surname Huang returns to Fuzhou, it will be fine for Lord Zhang. Our brothers have come to see him on his way with the order of the commander."

Huang Zongzhou carried his hands on his back and said proudly: "Don't have to pretend to be a good person. Huang has legs and feet, so he can go back by himself."

Liu Ting smiled kindly and said, "Mr. Huang misunderstood. What we in charge of the commander mean is to send your head back. As for your legs and feet, just leave it in Chenzhou to feed the dogs."

Zhang Huangyan scolded: "Liu Ting, you must not be rude. This is the chief minister of the dynasty. Even if the commander in charge is here, he will pay homage to him."

Liu Ting said in a slight and contemptuous manner: "General Zhang, if I remember correctly, Master Huang came to wipe out us."

Zhang Huangyan looked embarrassed and said, "There are huge misunderstandings in this, and I will explain it clearly to the cabinet master."

When Huang Zongzhou heard that they were really going to kill him, he no longer had the arrogance he had at the beginning. He hid behind Zhang Huangyan, forced himself to breathe a sigh of relief, and refused to beg for mercy.

Liu Ting said coldly: "We have been ordered by the commander of the commander. Today, we cannot take the head of this surname Huang. We all want to die to repay the commander. Please do not stop General Zhang. If the surname Huang, you will die. Today, the Jade Emperor cannot protect you, Governor Hou said."

The personal soldiers brought by Huang Zongzhou, some of whom were not dead, rushed out of the inner room. The leader Tingdao Hengmei said angrily: "Who dares to touch a hair from Huang Ge Lao?"

Wow, swow, a few cold arrows were shot from somewhere, and these personal soldiers turned into hedgehogs one by one.

Zhang Huangyan said angrily: "Liu Ting!"

Liu Ting ignored him and ordered: "Cut his head and set off to Fuzhou tonight."

The death of the personal soldiers had already scared Huang Zongzhou to the point of being possessed. He did not want to die here. Huang Zongzhou pulled Zhang Huangyan's sleeve and secretly tried hard to ask for help. At this time, he was still trying to save face and refused to speak out for help.

Zhang Huangyan was helpless. What's the use of asking for help at this time? If he protected him, two officials might die today. Zhang Huangyan was not stupid. He could clearly feel that the Hunan Army he was recruiting and training was not Zhang.
