After a night of march, when it was dawn, Hou Xuanyan led his troops around Jiaxing Prefecture and headed straight for Hangzhou on Taihu Lake.

After leaving Taihukou, I only took a small rural road. The army was filled with people from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but they were all familiar with the road.

Taking advantage of the rising sun, a small hill covered with shrubs in front of him, Hou Xuanyan pointed at the front with a whip and asked, "What kind of mountain is this? Does anyone know?"

A small man squeezed out of the crowd and shouted, "Sir, this is Linping Mountain. After passing this mountain, you will be Hangzhou City."

Hou Xuanyan nodded, took out a golden bean from his arms, and threw it to him: "Okay, Fan Xian, bring the military uniforms. The others went to the mountains to have a meal and rest. Remember, no fire is allowed."

Fan Xian rolled off the horse and laughed and said, "It's so good."

Linping Mountain was covered with dense bushes, with snakes, insects and poisonous animals. Fan Xian led a group of people from the rear army and pushed a cart of military uniforms into the mountains. The soldiers had gathered together in groups of three or five, eating the dry food prepared in advance.

Fan Xian brought people one by one and sent the new military uniform to them.

A Jiangyin soldier who was gnawing dry food saw his military uniform and jumped up and threw it on the ground: "This is the military uniform of a wild boar skin!"

The crowd was suddenly infuriated. He picked up his military uniform and saw that it was indeed the costumes of the Qing soldiers. Now even the Jiading people who blindly worshiped Hou Xuanyan could not sit still.

"My little master, we will never surrender to the Qing Dynasty!"

"What does this mean?"

"Sir, you must surrender and seek wealth, don't bring us."

“…”

The crowds of birds in the mountains and forests flew towards Tianshan. Hou Xuanyan pressed his hands in the air, suppressing everyone's emotions. His prestige was still there, and the soldiers calmed down for the time being.

"What are you arguing about? I have a grudge against the Qing Dynasty to kill my father. How could I bring you a group of fools to the Qing Dynasty? If I want to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, wouldn't it be a greater contribution to the sacrifice of the city in Suzhou?"

When the soldiers heard this, they made a lot of sense and stopped making noise. Those with a wise mind had already reacted and said, "Do you want to cheat the city?"

Everyone's eyes lit up. These people did not consider the danger of a plan, but just thought it was a plan.

Hou Xuanyan shook his head secretly. These people need more training, at least they must obey orders. Now, they dare to challenge the main general if they disagree, and they do not look like elite soldiers at all.

"Yinbao, come here."

Xu Yuanbao was also hiding in the crowd and screaming. When he saw the Qing military uniform, he subconsciously thought of the whole family who had been killed. At this time, when he heard Hou Xuanyan calling him, Xu Yuanbao walked out guiltily and said embarrassedly: "Brother..."

Hou Xuanyan looked at him funnyly and said sarcastically: "Look at your grandson, others don't believe it, and you don't even believe it?"

Xu Yuanbao touched his scalp and stuck out his tongue: "Brother, I was wrong."

Hou Xuanyan couldn't bear to blame him, and pressed his shoulder with both hands and said, "You should take them here, remember not to make fire or make noise. Arrange more secret whistles. If you find that Han people are entering the mountain, you should keep them here and not let them go. If there are Qing soldiers coming, kill them without any hesitation."

"Brother, where are you going?"

Hou Xuanyan grinned, and a dangerous smile on his tired face, and lay down in his ear: "I will go to Hangzhou City with the little Taoist priest, and you are here to wait for my news."

Fan Xian and Hong Yizhuo had already changed into ordinary people's clothes. Hou Xuanyan took off his armor, exposed the casual clothes inside, and led the two of them to turn around and leave.

Xu Yuanbao also experienced several battles, but he was not panicked. He took Hou Xuanyan's personal soldiers with a stick inlaid with iron nails and patrolled everywhere.

Hou Xuanyan took the two out of Linping Mountain, and saw a dilapidated small village. As a prosperous and prosperous village, Hangzhou is also nearby, and it is quite wealthy. However, when the Qing soldiers attacked, all these villages were burned and killed. This is the case in front of him. Walking out of this village where no one has died, from afar, the city walls of Hangzhou were already within sight.

Hou Xuanyan found a small house next to the village, opened the door and went in. A well in the yard, and a corpse was lying beside it. The corpse had already begun to smell, and densely packed flies hovered around the corpse. From the figure and clothes, it can be seen that this was a young female corpse, who was thirteen or fourteen years old. From behind, the girl had a slim figure and had the charm of a girl in the water town of Jiangnan.

When I got closer, I saw that the girl must have been insulted during her lifetime. She wanted to jump into the well to avoid her body being defiled, but unfortunately she failed to do so. The clothes on her lower body were torn to pieces, and scars were everywhere on her exposed thighs. A terrifying wound on her back could be clearly seen that this was when she was insulted by lust, and someone was stabbed with a sharp knife.

Hou Xuanyan looked expressionless and looked at the open door with a sinister look. Sure enough, two corpses were hung on the beam of the house. "Buried her family, we will stay in the village until night."

Fan Xian and Hong Yizhuo both showed an angry expression on their faces. They gritted their teeth and didn't talk. They found a farm tool from the yard and started digging a hole.

Hou Xuanyan took off the body of a couple from the beam, walked to the bedroom, took the bed sheet and wrapped the girl's body.

After burying the family, no one of the three wanted to talk. Hou Xuanyan squatted in the yard, took out dry food from his arms, and threw it to the two of them.

"Mr. Hou, I can't eat it." Fan Xian's expression was distorted and his words were crying.

Hong Yizhuo sat cross-legged, his eyes were slightly resting, and he muttered something in his mouth, which should be rescuing the dead souls.

Hou Xuanyan stood up and kicked him to the ground: "Eat! You can't eat it anymore? Do you know what's the best way to deal with a group of beasts?"

Fan Xian shook his head, twisted his muscles on his face together, and looked at Hou Xuanyan in pain.

"It is even crueler than them, more evil than them, more cruel than them, more cruel than them, a hundred times more cruel than them. When you see the evil deeds of your enemies, you are like this woman, crying and not even eating. If you are like you, we will take revenge, starve ourselves to death, and give our wives and daughters to them to play with. Let our children be their slaves; our land becomes their property."

Fan Xian rolled, picked up the dry food, took a bite, and roared: "Stop talking, young master, stop talking."

Hou Xuanyan patted his shoulder and said, "That's right. Only when you have enough food can you have the strength to kill someone."
