State: Guluzi Country, also known as Chaobo Country. In the Spring and Autumn Period, Shu Guo and Qunshu Zhuhou, in preparation for the unification of the south, Sui set Luzhou, from the second year of the emperor's reign, Han Baohu is the governor of Luzhou, the whole Luzhou is stationed in the Great Sui 10,000 standing army, plus the wartime collection of government soldiers, the highest time the strength of the army can reach 100,000 people, is an out-and-out military town.

The climate in Luzhou in May is pleasant, but the rain is very annoying, and the rain has been falling non-stop, which not only makes the pedestrians to and from Luzhou greatly reduced, but also makes it difficult to transfer people and materials.

"This damn rain." Looking at the rain flowing down from the eaves, Han Baohu muttered and cursed, this rain is not big, but it is annoying, and it is inconvenient for people to go out, let alone cross the river to attack Nan Chen.

Since coming to Luzhou, Han Baohu has always thought about raising a large army to cross the Yangtze River, directly to the city of Jiankang, and capture the emperor of the Southern Dynasty Chen Shubao alive.

Han Baohu is just over fifty years old this year, his body is stout, as if he has endless energy, he was only forty-five years old when he first came to Luzhou, just in the prime of life, and now he sees that five years have passed, but he has not made any achievements, but Yang Shuang, Yu Qingze, Daxi Changru, Shi Wansui and others are famous all over the world because of their great military exploits against the Turks, and even the descendants such as Changsun Sheng and Luo Yi have been promoted because of their military exploits against the Turks.

Han Baohu was even more itchy and unbearable, when the news of Liang Guosheng's change came, Han Baohu was as happy as a child celebrating the New Year, Nan Chen really didn't know whether to live or die. Dare to snatch food from the mouth of the Great Sui, doesn't this obviously lead the Great Sui to attack them immediately?

Sure enough, after April, the emperor's edict to crusade against Nanchen was sent to the front line, and after receiving the emperor's edict, the morale of the whole front line was greatly shaken, and they were ready to attack Nanchen. It's a pity that when the personnel were almost ready materially, they were stopped by the rain.

Two wore hats. Knights in thick robes rushed from a distance in the direction of the governor's palace. From time to time, the horse's hooves trampled in the mud. When he reached the governor's palace, he pulled the reins sharply, and the horse stopped steadily, and the knight turned over and dismounted, and walked quickly to the gate of the governor's palace.

"Stop! What for? The guards hurriedly stretched out their hands to stop them.

The two of them hurriedly took off their hats. Revealing his face: "It's us, report to adults if there is an emergency." ”

"It's two adults, please!" The doorman immediately saw that these two were the two most important generals of the Steward, and hurriedly moved the gate out of the way.

The two put on their hats again and rushed through the small square behind the gate, Han Baohu stood at the door of the lobby, looked at the two people who rushed over in surprise, and asked suspiciously, "Why did you come back?" Didn't this official let you keep an eye on Nan Chen's movements on the front line of Liyang? ”

"Plop." Bang. The two of them knelt down heavily: "The last general should be damned, I'm sorry Lord Steward." ”

"What the hell, did the southerners call. You've lost your defenses. Maybe Han Baohu himself thought this assumption was too ridiculous, and couldn't help laughing.

The two shook their heads, and Han Baohu shouted: "What are you anxious about if you don't lose the line of defense, get up, even if you rob the people's daughters and force people to die, this official can also be the master for you, what are you afraid of?" ”

There was no relaxation on the faces of the two, and one of them said in a slur manner: "Lord Hui, it's not about robbing people's daughters." ”

"Then what are you afraid of?" Han Baohu wondered, Teng thought of a question, and his face suddenly changed greatly: "Could it be that something happened to Yu and Jing'er?" ”

"Back to my lord, the little boy and the young master went across the river by boat alone." One of them said with a sad face.

"What, these two bastards, I'm angry with the old man." Han Baohu almost jumped up: "You guys, what are you eating, why don't you stop them, if their identities are revealed, you know how the Nanren will deal with them." ”

The little boy and the young master refer to Han Baohu's youngest son Han Shiyu and nephew Li Jing, Han Shiyu and Li Jing were born in Jiangmen, and they have shown their literary and military talents since they were young, especially Li Jing, although he is young, he is familiar with the military book by heart, Han Baohu sometimes talks to him about military affairs and often applauds, out of love for Li Jing, Han Baohu asked him from his brother-in-law Li Quan, and personally taught the art of war and martial arts.

Both of them have just turned sixteen years old this year, but they didn't expect these two people to run to the enemy country before the war, in the later generations, the children of this age are the blood and temperament, full of rebellious age, Han Shichan and Li Jing are not exempt from vulgarity, their art of war, martial arts are the best among their peers, but with their age, but it is destined to be impossible to stand alone, and there is no way to release their blood, and now that the war is rising, the two simply decided to go to Nanchen in person, on the one hand, they combine the military book with reality, and on the other hand, they want to find out the information of Chen Guo, make a great contribution.

Forget about the stinky boy in his own family, if Li Jing has three longs and two shorts, how can he have the face to meet his sister-in-law and brother-in-law. The more Han Baohu thought about it, the more angry he became, and he raised his foot and kicked at the two of them: "You are all dead, the military camp of thousands of people can't even look at the two children, and let them cross the river by boat, if the enemy touches it, you don't know it." ”

The two didn't dare to dodge, and they were forced to take Han Baohu's feet, and they couldn't help but feel a little aggrieved in their hearts, if it was usual, Mo said that someone drove a boat across the river, even if a wild duck flew over the river, it would be intercepted by the front-line sailors, but it rained for a few days, although it was not a heavy rain, but there was a layer of misty mist floating on the entire river, and there was no human figure dozens of zhang away.

Seeing that the two of them didn't dodge, Han Baohu finally put away his feet, he knew that it would be useless to blame the two at this time, so he thought of Li Jing, although Han Shiyu was young, he was full of martial arts, and he was very shrewd, and when he arrived in Nanchen, he might not reveal his identity.

"Get up, immediately send the order, if any secret agent discovers the whereabouts of the two, they will be tied up and tied back." Han Baohu paused for a moment, and waved his hand again: "Forget it, let them toss, if it is because these two boys expose the secret agents, the gains outweigh the losses." ”

"Yes, thank you, sir." The two of them are like amnesty. stood up from the ground, but they rushed to Fucheng from Liyang non-stop, and they were already wet with rain, and there were two more footprints, which looked a little embarrassed.

Looking at the appearance of the two lovers, Han Baohu was a little unbearable, and shouted loudly: "Someone is coming." ”

The housekeeper of the Han Mansion came in response: "Master." What's up? ”

"Take them down and change into clean clothes. And also. What happened just now must be kept strictly confidential, especially not to reach the ears of the lady, otherwise the official will never spare it. ”

"Yes, the villain understands." The housekeeper nodded hurriedly, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a hint of a smile, it was strange to say that not only the emperor of Da Sui suffered from tracheitis. Even many ministers are the same, the most famous is Qinghe Gong Yang Su, there are obviously many young and beautiful courtesans in the house, but they can't touch any of them, and they have become a joke in the capital

The young master crossed the river together. I'm afraid that there will be a lot of trouble in the house soon.

"And the two of you. The official will not keep you, and will return to the front line as soon as he changes his clothes, so as not to be seen by his wife. ”

"Yes. The end will understand. The two hurriedly followed the housekeeper and turned down, and when they went out, they heard Han Baohu's scolding: "These two little rabbit cubs, if they come back, Lao Tzu will have to break their legs." ”

In April, the Sui Emperor's edict to crusade against Chen was still transmitted to Nanchen, Chen Shubao heard this, his heart was greatly panicked, and sent the general Zhou Luohou to garrison the Yangtze River Gorge to resist the Sui army, and sent Yuan Ya to envoy to the Great Sui, wanting to reaffirm the friendship between the two countries.

After sending the envoy, Chen Shubao thought that he could explain clearly to the north, and it was a big deal to lose a little property, so he hid in the harem again, and played with the harem concubines all day long.

Xu Deyan sat alone in a tavern by the window, silently drinking stuffy wine, he had the name of a prodigy when he was a teenager, literary and romantic, and later was recruited by Princess Lechang as a concubine, and became a good story for a while, Princess Lechang is not only beautiful, but also talented, after marriage, the two husbands sang with their husbands, Xu Deyan was promoted to the court servant, it can be said that officialdom, love and two proud, but now the big Chen Jiangshan is crumbling, but the emperor and the princes of the court are not careful, and thought that they can rely on the Yangtze River to cross the river and rule, so that Xu Deyan is anxious, It's just that Chen Shubao didn't listen to any of his suggestions, so he had to borrow wine every day to kill his sorrows.

Although the tavern is small, it is clean and tidy, especially a few main dishes, so it attracts a lot of customers, and it is almost impossible to sit at a single table on a rainy day.

Despite this, there are still four or five tables of customers in this small shop in addition to Xu Deyan, one of which is two sixteen or seventeen-year-old boys, one is slightly shorter and has a dark face, and the other is slender, half a head taller than the ordinary **, if it weren't for the fact that the face is still very immature, you will think it is ** at a glance.

The reason why Xu Deyan noticed these two people is because they are strong and healthy, and their manners are extraordinary, although they ordered five or six dishes in a row, and ate more than half of them in a blink of an eye, but they will not make people feel rude, Xu Deyan can conclude at a glance that these two teenagers must have a good background, and in Jiankang, it is rare to find two young people with good backgrounds, who do not apply grease and powder, and do not make loud noises in public restaurants.

In addition to the two teenagers at one table, there are two tables occupied by several businessmen-like people, these people are also silently eating wine and food, but the most annoying thing is that the position occupied by six or seven teenagers in the middle, these people called a large table of wine and food, talking, and there are several servants standing next to them, what they are talking about is nothing more than which Qinglou girl is the most beautiful, which Qinglou girl knows how to wait for people the most, and which Qinglou has a Qingqi person again.

Although these teenagers are not yet twenty years old, but all of them have vague steps, their faces are bruised and swollen, and they know at a glance that they have already been hollowed out by wine, and one of the most famous teenagers, Xu Deyan, knows that he is the nephew of Shi Wenqing, the most favored Chinese scholar by the emperor today.

Xu Deyan didn't know what wind was blowing today, and he would meet Shi Wenqing's nephew in this tavern, Shi Wenqing was only a scholar in the middle of the house, but a five-grade official, but Chen Shubao rarely went to the court on weekdays, if a minister asked to see the emperor, he must go through Shi Wenqing, Shen Keqing, Chen Shuding has great trust in the two, which makes the power of the two of them soar, and even one or two senior members in the court have to tie up the two, otherwise they will not even see the emperor on the ground, and they will be dismissed from office for some reason.

In the middle of everyone's disagreement, a young man covered in mud passed by the door of the tavern, and suddenly his eyes lit up. Stumbling into the tavern, his eyes staring at a pig's arm on the ground, but there was a big black dog guarding next to the pig's shoulder, so that the young man who came in did not dare to make a mistake.

This big black dog was brought by the young man at the middle table, and the pig's arm on the ground was still the food that the teenagers threw to the big dog, but the big black dog had already eaten with a round belly, and he couldn't eat it in the face of this pig arm weighing at least three or four pounds, so he didn't move at all. Just guarding the pig's shoulder.

"Roar." The animal can't eat it on its own. Saw the young man staring at his food. But he cried out in dissatisfaction. The sound of the big dog barking alarmed the group of teenagers, and when they saw the mud on the young man's body, the teenagers covered their noses in disgust and shouted: "Stinky son, go away, go away." ”

The shopkeeper hurried over when he heard the sound, and saw the young man enter his tavern covered in mud. couldn't help but be furious, picked up a wooden stick from behind and hit the young man: "Get out, dead flowers, how can you compensate for driving away my guests." ”

The young man was beaten and rolled on the ground with his head in his hands, but he refused to leave the tavern, he had not eaten for several days, and now it was raining outside, and there was no way to beg. If you go out. I'm afraid I'll freeze and starve to death on the streets at night.

The people at the other tables heard the sound and looked at the door in surprise, and Xu Deyan saw that the two teenagers at the table next to him were angry. The short boy stood up from his seat, and was about to speak when he was stopped by the tall boy and whispered in the short boy's ear, and the short boy sat down as if deflated.

Xu Deyan shook his head, a little disappointed in the two teenagers, he stood up, and was about to stop drinking the shopkeeper, when another voice sounded first: "Shopkeeper, stop." ”

Xu Deyan looked at the sound suspiciously, it was Shi Wenqing's nephew who stopped drinking, and he wondered even more in his heart, could it be that this Young Master Shi had changed his sex, so he had to come down again and continue to watch.

Chen Guo's Buddhism has not gone through the process of destroying Buddhism in the north, although the power of Buddhism is not as good as the north of the place before the destruction of Buddha, but there are more than the current Dasui monasteries, if someone usually begs, the store will give a little scraps of cold rice to accumulate their own yin virtue, the store has already seen that this table of young people is not an ordinary person, for fear that the beggar will anger the group of young masters, at that time, not only the begging people will be unlucky, even the taverns in other places will be affected, so vicious, seeing that someone in the group of young masters took the initiative to speak, the store immediately stopped and continued to beat, Fawning said: "A few young masters, what's the matter?" ”

"Go down, you don't need you here."

"Yes." The shopkeeper put away his stick and warned the young man, "Be smart, don't make the young masters angry." ”

Young Master Shi looked condescendingly at the young man on the ground: "You really want to eat pig's shoulder?" ”

"I haven't eaten for a few days, so I beg the young master to give me a little charity, and the rice will be ready."

"If you don't eat a pig's shoulder, what kind of rice do you eat, you also know that this pig's shoulder is the owner's thing, it is Xiao Hei's food, but this young master sees you pitiful and gives you a chance, as long as you can grab Xiao Hei, this pig will be yours."

Looking at the pig's arm on the ground, the young man's stomach growled, and he couldn't help swallowing a few mouthfuls of saliva, and asked, "Young master, how to rob it?" ”

"It's very simple, Young Master Ben throws the pig's arm up, you and Xiao Hei act at the same time, as long as you grab Xiao Hei, this pig's arm will be rewarded to you."

Looking at the big dog that was more than half a person tall, the young man hesitated, and the rest of the teenagers heard Shi

proposed, immediately overjoyed, shouted next to him.

"Rob it, as long as you grab it, it's yours."

"Stinky flowers, this is all meat, you can't eat it once a year, so don't grab it quickly."

……

"Okay, I'll grab it!" The young man still couldn't resist the temptation of the pig's arm and agreed.

"Ha, ha." The group of teenagers laughed wildly, and in the laughter of everyone, Young Master Shi picked up the pig's arm from the ground and threw it into the air, and the pig's arm rose to the highest place and fell.

The young man was engrossed in the pig's shoulder, and as soon as the pig's arm fell, he jumped up, caught the pig's arm with both hands, regardless of the dust on it, put it in his mouth and bit it hard, but suddenly heard a whine, and then there was a heart-piercing pain in his leg, but it was the big black dog who saw that he couldn't rob the young man, so he simply opened his mouth and bit the young man's thigh tightly.

The young man screamed miserably, fell to the ground, and the pig arm in his hand also fell to the ground, and his hands desperately slapped the big black dog that bit him, but the young man had not eaten for several days, and his hands were weak, and the black dog was startled at first. Feeling that the punch that fell on his head was not heavy, the black dog became proud, and bit the young man's thigh with a whining and did not let go.

"Okay, bite him!"

"Bite him to death!"

……

These teenagers have no heart and lungs, and they don't care about a human life in their eyes, and when they see a young man being bitten by a dog, instead of stopping it, they cheer for their dogs.

"Bang". The black dog that was biting suddenly flew up. Fell heavily to a place far away. The black dog whined, spat out a piece of human flesh from its mouth, rolled over and got up, grabbed its tail and hid behind its owner.

"Stinky boy, you're so impatient that you dare to kick my little black." Young Master Shi pointed at the short boy who was helping the young man and scolded, he could see it clearly just now. It was this short boy who kicked the big black dog, although the dog was not his own, but it made him feel a great loss of face, if it weren't for the young man's strength, he would have slapped him.

This short boy is Han Shixuan, and the other person is naturally Li Jing, the two of them are bold, and after crossing the river, they came directly to Jiankang. When Han Shichun was in Luzhou, he often liked to fight unevenly. He is the son of the governor of Luzhou, no matter how uneven he is in Luzhou, no one dares to provoke him, and it is difficult to change his temper in Jiankang. If it weren't for Li Jing holding him, Han Shiqi would have rushed over, and seeing that this group of sons actually allowed the vicious dog to bite people, Li Jing couldn't stop him anymore, so he had to follow.

"Hmph." Regarding this Young Master Shi's accusations, Han Shiyu ignored them, and tore off a piece of fabric from his sleeve to bandage the young man's wounds.

"Are you deaf?" Young Master Shi couldn't hold back any longer, and waved his hand: "Up." ”

Several servants rushed towards Han Shijun's direction with a fierce momentum, Li Jing sighed and stopped several servants: "Everyone, you have something to say." ”

"Little white face, get out of the way, dare to provoke our young master, that companion of yours is dead." A servant raised a big fist and threw it at Li Jing, but when the fist reached mid-air, the servant suddenly found that he couldn't smash it anymore, and his fist fell into the hand of Xiao Baiyan, and he hurriedly tried hard but couldn't pull it out.

"Whew." Another fist smashed at Li Jing, and as soon as Li Jing's hand turned, the previous servant suddenly stopped and took the fist of another servant instead of Li Jing.

"Porphyry." The punch was smashing into the man's nose, and blood flowed immediately.

"Oh, why did you hit me?"

"Porphyry, porphyry, porphyry." The four servants of the Shi family who rushed towards Li Jing were all blue noses and swollen faces, most of them were because Li Jing dodged too fast, or deliberately used badly, and were hit by their own fists; All of a sudden, there was a lot of screaming in the tavern.

"Useless things, don't be ashamed, come back quickly." Young Master Shi and a group of young masters could see clearly that these four family members were no match at all, but they only brought four people with them this time, and as for their own delicate and expensive bodies, they naturally would not play by themselves.

The four family members retreated stupidly, and a group of teenagers pointed at Han Shichang and Li Jing hatefully: "You wait, don't run." ”

Li Jing said in his heart: "It's strange if you don't run." ”

Li Jing was about to wait for the group of teenagers to go out, and immediately beckoned Han Shiyu to run away, when another voice sounded: "Slow, you let the dog bite people, and you have enough to eat and drink, do you want to just leave?" ”

"Who dares to care about the young master's affairs." The group of teenagers were furious and looked angrily at the place where they came out, but their voices immediately turned into surprise: "Lord Xu." ”

Xu Deyan is the emperor's brother-in-law, and he is one of the few officials who don't need to talk to Shi Wenqing and Shen Keqing, although most of these teenagers Xu Deyan don't know each other, but they all know Xu Deyan.

Xu Deyan has no power to restrain the chicken, but everything is extremely serious, although the emperor has been estranged from Xu Deyan over the years, but the Empress Dowager Liu is still alive, and the Empress Dowager Liu loves Princess Lechang the most, with the Empress Dowager Liu, Xu Deyan can speak beside the emperor, even Shi Wenqing has been frightened by Xu Deyan several times, but Shi Wenqing has nothing to do with Xu Deyan.

"Lord Xu, how are you doing?" Young Master Shi said with a humble heart.

"Apologize to the bitten brother, and leave the medical expenses, otherwise, the official will immediately enter the palace to report to the emperor, and impeach Shi Wenqing for the murder of his nephew."

"Apologize to him?" Young Master Shi was very unhappy, but if Xu Deyan really froze the emperor, although he was helpless against his uncle, but when his uncle returned home, there was absolutely no good fruit for him to eat.

"Young master, that dog is not ours." A servant hurriedly reminded Young Master Shi.

Young Master Shi immediately reacted: "Lord Xu, you have found the wrong person, this dog is not from the Shi family, you have to find him." After speaking, Young Master Shi pointed to the young man in front of the black dog.

Although he was indignant at Young Master Shi's lack of righteousness, the young man had to stand up, took out a money bag from his body, and put it on the table: "There are twenty taels of silver here, is it enough?" ”

"Apologies!"

If the young man apologizes to a beggar, he will not have face in front of his companions in the future.

"My lord, forget it, forget it." The young man was stunned by this change, and when he saw that a son of a wealthy family was about to apologize to him, he was very disturbed, and hurriedly struggled to speak.

"No, it's not that I don't want to apologize, it's that he doesn't want me to apologize." After the boy finished speaking, he quickly walked out of the tavern, and the black dog followed closely behind the master, and the rest of the teenagers also hurriedly dispersed.
