Two thousand guards and servants escorted Hou Xuanyan and Qian Sule on the way to Xianxia Ridge. Military orders had spread throughout the prefectures in Zhejiang. Hou Xuanyan rode on the horse, feeling the smoothness left at his fingertips, and his mind became lively.

Qian Sule was from Yin County, Zhejiang Province. When the Qing soldiers entered Zhejiang, the people in eastern Zhejiang were excited. On the 12th of the leap month of June, the gentry and people gathered at the Chenghuang Temple of Shaoxing Prefecture. As soon as Qian Sule arrived, the people cheered and shouted: "Why not just serve the Qian Gong to raise an uprising!"

His prestige in Zhejiang was too high. All the officials from Zhejiang East were convinced by Qian Sule. Hou Xuanyan used a counter-espionage plan, which made King Lu restrain Qian Sule. The generals of the entire Shaoxing regime in Zhejiang East collectively fought back. Zheng Zunqian, the Yongxing Bo, even brought his servants to rob the prison and wanted to rescue him.

Hou Xuanyan thought that he had never been to Zhejiang in Zhejiang except for fraudulently taking Hangzhou. It would be a good idea to marry Qian Sule's daughter. A cold wind blew, and Hou Xuanyan tightened his cloak, abandoned these selfish thoughts, and focused on the situation in front of him.

Li Chengdong dared to attack Xianxialing with 50,000 Zheng's soldiers and horses, which was indeed his style. The Zheng family had many weapons, firearms, sufficient food and grass, and ate rice from Nanyang, and used the more advanced flintlock guns and cannons at that time. Moreover, Zheng Zhilong was in Fujian and had a high reputation. Hou Xuanyan asked himself that he had no favors to the people of Fujian. Once the war started, they would not have to think about anyone supporting him.

Seeing him frowning, Qian Sule couldn't help asking: "Wenyuan, are you tired? Xianxia Ridge is very strict and we don't have to be too nervous. If you are tired, you can rest for a night and continue on the road."

Hou Xuanyan shook his head and said, "We will take a boat to go south when we leave Hangzhou. It will not be too late to rest when we get on the boat." The riverside roads in the south of the Yangtze River are particularly so, especially in Zhejiang. After boarding the port on the outskirts of Hangzhou, we can walk along the river and even reach Fujian.

Qian Sule looked at his panda eyes, with green beard, thin cheeks, and messy hair like dry grass. He secretly praised in his heart: People say that Jiadinger is undefeated until now, and it seems inaccurate. The powerful regent is willing to run around like this. His great military achievements are not based on God's favor. Unfortunately, he is from Jiading. Because he has already vaguely suppressed Hangzhou, officials from Zhejiang from eastern Zhejiang always feel a little worried. He heard that he married the little girl of the Gu family, so he looked at Suzhou with Qingyan...

"Wen Yuan, the little girl is not polite, I offended her tonight, haha."

"Where is it, let the Qianjin Miss Qian Ling know that Mr. Qian went to war and saw him off specially. It's really filial, hahaha."

The two of them turned their heads in a tacit understanding, and made an appointment with the smile on their faces suddenly disappeared, and they had their own ulterior motives in their hearts.

A moment later, Hou Xuanyan turned his head sneakily and found that Qian Sule was also looking at him. The two of them looked at each other and turned their heads again.

...

Hangzhou Bay is the garrison of Zhejiang Navy. After the group arrived, the defenders had already received news. The navy's admiral Han Jiawen personally went out to welcome the Duke of the State and the Dusi Lord into the port.

Three warships made of teak were parked here, Hou Xuanyan and Qian Sule boarded the boat in the middle. These small and medium-sized ships were extremely strong and could move forward quickly in shallow waters. They are excellent manned ships. After Hou Xuanyan boarded the boat, he left a sentence: "Come and wake me up when the sky collapses." He kicked open the cabin door and looked at the small bed in the cabin under the candlelight as if he saw a stunning beauty, lying there after taking off her naked eyes, and his eyes were red and he threw herself to fall asleep. Qian Sule chuckled and turned to his cabin.

Zhang Yitong stepped forward, turned him over, removed his robe, boots, and covered him with a quilt. Then he turned around and left, with his eyes wide open. Almost a year had passed since he first met Hou Xuanyan. At that time, Huozi Camp fought fiercely in Jingxiang, and after winning, he returned to Zhenjiang Prefecture. The wounded disabled generals were going to be dismissed home. Li Haoxian, the commander of Huozi Camp, boasted about Haikou and wanted to invite the Duke. Who knew that General Li had great face and really invited the Duke. At that time, he

The stupid saying goes home to eat meat, Hou Xuanyan somehow heard it and stayed by his side as a personal soldier. These days, he has learned some skills in boxing and kicking with Hu Bawan. Hu Bawan also taught himself the sword technique. His knife skills are not at all fancy, and there is no shortcut to learning swords. He just repeats the chopping and chopping movements boringly every day. Now Zhang Yitong is already a qualified personal soldier. Excellent may not be considered a good person, but the word "qualification" is well deserved.

Under the cold moon, three ships lined up, and a thin personal soldier was guarding outside the cabin door and listening to the snoring, slowly closing his eyes.

Hou Xuanyan woke up and it was noon the next day. He pushed open the cabin door with a sore body. The dazzling sunlight shone down, and Hou Xuanyan raised his hand to cover it.

“Where have you been?”

"Master, Jiande is ahead, and you will reach Jinhua Mansion further."

"Oh!" Hu Bawan shouted on the deck. Hou Xuan turned his head and saw a crucian carp thrust its tail and was pulled out of the water by him.

The firewood in the mud stove on the boat was burning vigorously, and white steam was emitting from the pot. Hu Bawan grabbed the crucian carp, threw it on the deck, and took out the dagger in his arms and started to break the fish's belly.

Hou Xuanyan subconsciously licked his lips and cursed, "I can't tell you that there are still many hidden skills." With Hu Bawan by his side, you don't have to worry about not having to eat in your mouth at any time. This guy, a man with salt and seasonings on his body all year round, hunting small beasts by the mountain, fishing and shrimps near the water, is an authentic foodie.

While removing the internal organs, Hu Bawan smiled and said, "Master, I am a man from Dengzhou Prefecture. I went to the water to catch fish when I was six years old. This pot of crucian carp soup will definitely make Da Zheng look at me with admiration."

The personal soldiers next to him immediately started to cheer: "Why are you 80,000 people? You men from Dengzhou Prefecture dare to boast about your nature in front of our Wu Yue'er Lang?"

Hu Bawan glared at his little eyes, his eyebrows stood up, and while fiddling with the crucian carp in his hand, he said, "What do you think you don't believe it? Dengzhou is the entrance to Penglai, and the water is full of fairy spirit. Otherwise, why do you think I, Hu Bawan, are so outstanding because I often grow up in the fairy water."

Hou Xuanyan sat on the ground, and did not stop his subordinates from playing and joking. He looked at the scenery on the shore with a smile. There was a mud on both sides of the riverside, with reeds of several acres in radius. On the right was a gentle slope, with many low tea trees planted. Many farm girls wearing red gauze bent down and lowered their heads, picking tea leaves. A gust of wind blew, and the tea leaves were renovated and green.
