"Look, my lord, there's a big dog there!"

"Haha, this is called the road of endless heaven. At the time of the national disaster, we were all hungry, but this dog was big and fat, and it looked like a traitorous dog, so I went to catch it and eat it. ”

On the shallows of the riverbank, hundreds of ragged soldiers, surrounded by a teenager, rushed towards the river.

A big yellow dog licked Hou Xuanyan's cheeks, and the two of them were washed to the shore together. The dog's water nature is not bad, and with its small body, nothing happened to it.

It's just that I can't find the master, only Hou Xuan plays one, and he is an acquaintance. So he kept squatting beside Hou Xuanyan, waiting for him to get up, and took himself to find the master.

"My lord, there's a dead man."

The young man squeezed out of the crowd, walked closer and put his fingers together, and measured Hou Xuanyan's breathing. "This man is not dead yet, I see that he has unshaved hair, and he is also an iron-clad Han man, save him quickly."

"And what about this dog?"

Rhubarb knew that he had no strength to escape, wagging his tail and sticking out his tongue, with a kind face.

"Stupid! This man is obviously his own person, are you embarrassed to eat his dog when he wakes up? Don't take advantage of it now, peel the skin and eat it, and when he wakes up, we will push four, five or six..."

"Your Excellency is wise!"

Rhubarb saw a few people walking towards him with unkind eyes, and the dog's sense was the most sensitive, and he had a premonition that he was in trouble. The anxious rhubarb screamed while playing with Hou Xuanyan's body with his paws, trying to wake him up.

"This dog has become a sperm, hurry up. Don't let him get people up. ”

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

The young leader reached out and picked it up, unfolded it to look at it, and immediately burst into tears.

The six big characters of "Jiading Suppressing the Righteous Master" are embroidered on white cloth with black thread, stained with blood.

"This dog can't be eaten, take the person with you, let's keep walking, don't be chased by the clear dog."

....

Hou Xuanyan was dazed, feeling that he was being held in the air, and when he opened his eyes, he was lying on a simple stretcher.

Got caught? I was saved?

I couldn't wait to open my eyes, and I barely raised my head to see the person carrying me, with hair on the back of his head. Hou Xuanyan breathed a long sigh of relief, "It's not a clear dog." "And judging by how they are dressed, it 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 person was fifteen or sixteen years old, although he was wearing shabby armor, he couldn't hide his bookish spirit.

"Thank you for saving me, where is this and who are you?"

"I'm Xia Wanchun, this is on the way to Taihu Lake, and we picked you and your big dog by the river."

It turned out to be him, and the rebels operating in the area of Songjiang Mansion were indeed very likely to be the subordinates of the Xia family's father and son. This Xia Wanchun is "three years of detention of tourists, and today is the southern crown." The young hero, Hou Xuanyan has been a human being in two lives, and he knows his name. This guy calls himself "Jiangzuo Boy", he is an out-and-out prodigy, and he belongs to "other people's children" in the Jiangnan area, and almost every father who hates iron is not steel. When educating his son, he has to say: "Look at Xia Wanchun, the boy of the Xia family!" ”

Big dogs? That's right, what about ingots? Hou Xuan played a spirit and asked hurriedly, "What about my companion?" ”

"Do you still have companions? Then we don't know, when we meet you, it's just you and the dog. ”

When Rhubarb heard the word dog, he barked a few times inappropriately.

Even I'm fine, they're better than me, so I guess they escaped! didn't expect this time to die, and escaped like this, Hou Xuanyan was very happy.

Hou Xuanyan struggled to get up, and two people came up to support him, limping forward and continuing to walk.

"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for your great kindness, I still have to look for my companions, let's leave it at that."

Xia Wanchun's fate is not very good, Hou Xuanyan doesn't want to go to Taihu Lake with them to die, and he also knows that these people can't be persuaded to do so. What's more, more than a hundred Jiading teenagers are still scattered in this land of four wars, and he is in a hurry to find them and take them to the other side of the river.

Xia Wanchun smiled: "You look like this, alone in this vicinity, it is no different from looking for death." I see that you have the flag of Master Jiajie in your chest, you should be Hou Huang's subordinate, right? ”

"My father Hou Yuzeng."

Xia Wanchun's face changed, and he hugged his fists and said: "It turned out that after being a loyal martyr, he was disrespectful and disrespectful. ”

Hou Xuanyan sighed secretly, you are about to become a loyal martyr, it is not very pleasant to be called such a title.

Xia Wanchun's father, Xia Yunyi, and his friend Chen Zilong raised troops in Jiangnan to resist the Qing Dynasty, and after the defeat, they threw themselves into the water and died on September 17 of the same year, at the age of 50. Today, it's only a few months away.

Thinking of this, Hou Xuanyan still decided to persuade him. He looked left and right, and said in his ear: "Young Master Xia, are you going to defect to Wu Zhikui, the deputy commander of Jiangnan, and attack Suzhou?" ”

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

It's an absolute secret, and my father only told him about it.

Hou Xuanyan shook his head, tugged at his clothes, and said, "Come here to talk carefully." ”

Xia Wanchun also knew that what they wanted to talk about was news that must not be leaked, although these soldiers were all their own henchmen, but once they turned against the water, the consequences would be too serious.

The two of them came to the side of the road, and Hou Xuanyan found a tree stump and sat on it. Rhubarb wagged his tail and crouched at his feet. "Xia Gongzi, now that the situation is erosive, the Qing soldiers are victorious, and there are even elite soldiers from the four towns of Jiangbei to help them abuse. Wu Zhikui's soldiers and horses, plus the rebel army you gathered, are not opponents at all. It was still a lot of work to defend the city, let alone siege it. In the two states of Suzhou and Hangzhou, the Qing soldiers did not spend a single soldier, and the city wall was not breached, how could it be so easy to fight. It is better to persuade Ling Zun to lead the troops to retreat south and retain strength. Wait until the Tang King who is in charge of the country gives an order, and then we will fight back to Jiangsu and Zhejiang! ”

When Xia Wanchun heard him say that he was the king of the prison country, a trace of imperceptible discoloration flashed on his face. Their father and son were loyal to Zhu Yihai, the king of Lu, and they were quite resistant to the king of Tang. But soon, he covered up the past, and now that the enemy is present, people of insight have seen the dangers of the portal battle. In Xia Wanchun's heart, as long as the Ming Dynasty can be restored, any prince can be the emperor.

"What Brother Hou said is true, but this half of Jiangbei is also the land of the Ming Dynasty, and someone must sacrifice to make everyone remember this. Otherwise, the people here have lived comfortably under the Jiannu Iron Horse for decades, and who still remembers that they are Han. Xia Wanchun stood in the forest with his hands behind his back, the sun shining through the dense leaves and shining on his face.

"What Brother Xia said makes me ashamed, I, Hou Xuanyan, am not greedy for life and afraid of death. But there are still the remnants of Jiading, my 100 brothers, and I promised them to take them across the river. The words are still in my ears, how dare I abandon them, let's go our separate ways,"
