"Sir, look, there is a big dog there!"

"Haha, this is called the world of nobility. In the face of the crisis, we are all hungry. This dog is big and fat. It looks like a traitor dog. Go and catch it and eat it."

On the shallows of the river bank, hundreds of ragged soldiers surrounded a boy and rushed towards the river.

A big yellow dog licked Hou Xuanyan's cheek, and the two of them were washed to the shore together. The dog's watery nature is not bad, and his body is small, nothing happened.

But I couldn't find my master, only Hou Xuanyan, who was an acquaintance after all. So I kept squatting beside Hou Xuanyan, waiting for him to get up, and taking him to find his master.

"Sir, there is another dead person."

The boy squeezed out of the crowd, walked closer and closed his fingers, and measured Hou Xuanyan's breathing. "This man is not dead yet. I see that he has a hair and is not shaved. He is also a strong Han man. Please save him."

"What should I do with this dog?"

Dahuang knew that he had no strength to escape, so he shook his tail and stuck out his tongue, with a kind look on his face.

"Idiot! This person is obviously his own person. When he wakes up, do you still have the nerve to eat his dog? Why don't you take advantage of the situation and eat it after skinning it. When he wakes up, we will push four, five or six..."

"Sir, wise!"

Dahuang saw a few people walking towards him with a bad look, and the dog felt the most sensitive, and he had a premonition that he was in trouble. Dahuang, anxious, shouted while fiddling Hou Xuanyan's body with his claws, wanting him to wake up.

"This dog has become a sperm, hurry up and don't let him get the person up."

With a sneer, Hou Xuanyan's clothes were torn to pieces, and a strip of cloth tucked in his chest was exposed.

The young leader reached out and picked it up. When he opened it, he immediately burst into tears.

The six big characters "Jiading Suppress Huiyi Army" were embroidered with black thread on a white cloth, stained with blood.

"This dog can't be eaten anymore. Take the person with you. Let's continue to walk. Don't be caught up by the Qing dog."

....

Hou Xuanyan felt dizzy and felt like he was being held in the air. When he opened his eyes, he saw that he was indeed lying on a simple stretcher.

Am I caught? Am I rescued?

I couldn't wait to open my eyes, barely raised my head, and saw the person carrying me, with hair behind my head. Hou Xuanyan breathed a sigh of relief, "It's not a Qingdog." And looking at their clothes, they should be a rebel army.

Suddenly, a head stretched out and said with a smile: "Are you awake?"

Hou Xuanyan turned around and saw that this man looked like he was fifteen or sixteen years old. Although he was wearing shabby armor, he could not hide his bookish spirit.

"Thank you for your help, where is this place and who are you?"

"I am Xia Wanchun. This is on the way to Taihu Lake. We picked you and your big dog by the river."

It turned out that it was him, the rebels operating in Songjiang Prefecture, who were indeed very likely to be subordinates of the father and son of the Xia family. This Xia Wanchun is a young hero who "has been a traveler for three years, and today he is the South Captain." Hou Xuanyan was a man of two lifetimes and knew his name. This guy called himself "Jiangzuo Boy", a real child prodigy. He belonged to "other people's children" in Jiangnan. Almost every father who was disappointed. When educating his son, he would say: "Look at the Xia boy Xia Wanchun!"

Big Dog? Yes, where is Yuanbao? Hou Xuan was shocked and asked hurriedly: "What about my companion?"

"You have companions? Then we don't know. When we meet you, you are the only ones and the dog."

When Dahuang heard the word "dog", he screamed a few times inappropriate manner.

Even I am fine. They are better than me, so they should have escaped! Unexpectedly, this time, this situation of death was inevitable, and she escaped from heaven. Hou Xuanyan was very grateful.

Hou Xuanyan struggled to get up, and the two of them came up to support him, limping forward and continued walking.

"Dear heroes, I don't thank you for your kindness. I still have to look for my companions. Let's just leave it."

Xia Wanchun and the others' ended up not very good. Hou Xuanyan didn't want to go to Taihu Lake with them to die, and he knew that these people could not persuade them. What's more than a hundred Jiading boys were scattered in this four-war land. He was in a hurry to find them and take them across the river.

Xia Wanchun smiled and said, "You are alone here, which is no different from seeking death. I think you have the flag of Master Jiading in your heart. You should be Hou Huang's subordinate, right?"

"My father, Hou Dongzeng."

Xia Wanchun's face changed, and he clasped his fists and said, "It turns out that he was the loyal and wise man, who was indifferent to respect."

Hou Xuanyan sighed inwardly, you will soon become a loyal and wise man. It would be not very good to call him such a title.

Xia Wanchun's father Xia Yunyi and his friends Chen Zilong rose up to fight against the Qing Dynasty in Jiangnan. After being defeated, they jumped into the water to die for their feud on September 17 of the same year. At the age of 50, it is only a few months before today.

Thinking of this, Hou Xuanyan decided to persuade him. He looked around and said with his ears: "Young Master Xia, are you going to join the deputy general of Jiangnan, Wu Zhikui, and attack Suzhou?"

Xia Wanchun's face changed and she asked, "How do you know?"

This is an absolute secret, and my father just told him.

Hou Xuanyan shook his head, pulled his clothes, and said, "Come here to have a chat."

Xia Wanchun also knew that what they wanted to talk to was news that must not be leaked. Although these soldiers were all their confidants, once they turned against each other, the consequences would be too serious.

The two of them came to the roadside, and Hou Xuanyan found a tree stump and sat on it. Dahuang shook his tail and squatted at his feet. "Mr. Xia, the situation is now in a corruption. The Qing soldiers are in power with the victory, and the elite soldiers from the four towns in Jiangbei help the evil. Wu Zhikui's troops, plus the rebels you gathered, are not opponents at all. It is difficult to defend the city, let alone attack the city. In the past two weeks of Suzhou and Hangzhou, the Qing soldiers did not spend a single soldier, and the city wall was not broken. It is not so easy to fight. It is better to persuade Lingzun, lead the troops to retreat south and retain their strength. When the Tang King, who was in charge of the country, we will fight back to Jiangsu and Zhejiang!"

When Xia Wanchun heard him say that the King of Tang was supervising the country, a trace of undetectable strangeness flashed across his face. The father and son were loyal to the King of Lu Zhu Yihai, who was loyal to the King of Tang, and he was quite resistant to the King of Tang. But soon, he concealed the past. Now that the enemy is in front of him, all the people with knowledge have seen the harm of the dispute over the Portal. In Xia Wanchun's mind, as long as the Ming Dynasty can be restored, any prince can be the emperor.

"Brother Hou said nothing, but half of Jiangbei is also the territory of the Ming Dynasty. Someone must sacrifice to make everyone remember this. Otherwise, the people here will live peacefully and leisurely under the Iron Cavalry of Jiannu for decades, who will remember that they are Han people?" Xia Wanchun stood in the forest with his hands on his back, and the sun shining on his face.
