Along the Suzhou Ancient Canal, an official boat headed straight for Taihu Lake. The boats coming and going on the lake were full of materials to help Changzhou.

Hou Xuanyan sat in the cabin. Because it was hot, he was wearing a casual outfit. He wore a blue shirt and a square scarf on his head. The powerful Lord Supervisor instantly became the scholar from the small town of Jiading.

Now is the time to raft and pick water chestnuts. Suzhou is no longer the front line. The scholars of Jiangnan, who are dissatisfied by nature, can no longer sit still at home. The green lotus leaves of Taihu Lake show no signs of yellowness, and the blue waves stretched for several hectares to the shore.

Several small boats swayed on the lake, and the giggles of young girls came from time to time. Hou Xuanyan was deducing the attack direction of the Qing soldiers in the Jinling cabin. Suddenly, a beautiful and crisp singing came from the lake. The singing was gentle and the tune was fresh: "I live under the East Lake, and my husband lives by the Nanpu River. I look at the smoke and water, and I recognize the water picking boat."

Qin He in the cabin said, "Sir, Suzhou scholars are rafting on boats and picking water chestnuts every year. Do you want to drive them away?"

Hou Xuanyan stretched out his arm and smiled and said, "We fight to the death, just to seek such a peaceful world, go out and take a look."

When I arrived at the bow of the boat, I saw a pleasure boat in front of me, with several scholars in white shirts holding wine glasses, and dizzyly speaking at a woman. If it were an ordinary daughter, she would have turned her back and forth, but the girl hugged the pipa and giggled. Hou Xuan spoke: "What you said is indeed good. More than a dozen romantic scholars invited the brothel women to visit the lake."

Qin He stood beside him, his eyes looked around, but no one could find anyone. Seeing his outfit, the scholar on the boat thought he was also coming to Taihu Lake to raft. He raised his glass and said, "Brother, you watched our girl Baoer singing and dancing, but you hid the beauty you accompany you in the cabin. It's so unkind. Why don't you invite me out and everyone is having fun in Taihu Lake, so that you can't waste this beautiful scenery, right?"

The scholars' companions applauded them. In their opinion, this is the romanticism of scholars.

Hou Xuanyan shook his head, ignored him, and sighed with a wry smile: "I finally know, "The business girl does not know the hatred of the country of destruction, and she still sings the back garden flowers across the river." The purpose of this poem is."

Seeing that he was so arrogant, everyone on the pleasure boat felt dull and sarcastic. Hou Xuanyan originally wanted to come out to see the beauty, listen to the song and relax, but he lost this interest. His identity and pattern did not bother with these stingy literati, turned around and returned to the cabin to concentrate on thinking about the upcoming war.

After a while, there was a quarrel outside, and Hou Xuanyan asked, "What's going on?"

Qin He lifted the curtain of the cabin door, went out to investigate and returned and said, "Master General, a cargo ship in front crashed into a cruise ship, and people on both sides are arguing."

Hou Xuanyan stood up and walked to the bow of the boat, and saw a man in coarse linen, bowing to several scholars.

There were three beauties around the scholars, all of whom were soaked, with the tulle and water pressing against their bodies, and their delicate curves were undoubtedly revealed. They hid shyly behind the scholars, but unfortunately these scholars, who were also slaughtering chickens, were busy scolding the boatmen, and no one remembered to maintain their dignity.

The big man looked fierce but his tone was unexpectedly gentle. He kept apologizing: "You are really sorry. Our brothers are eager to transport armor in Changzhou, but they didn't notice that your boat was hidden in the reeds."

The scholars were reluctant to give in, blushing and scolding. After a while, the pleasure boat behind them also rushed up. They should be familiar with the scholars who fell into the water. They first made jokes and joked a few times, and then helped them insult the boatman.

Hou Xuanyan stopped his official ship and said loudly: "The war ahead is about to break out. As soon as the Qing soldiers arrive, the man from Changzhou will fight and bleed with others. This ship owner is a soldier of armor, which can be regarded as a rush to the front line. If I want to say that, just forget about this matter, you have not drowned or been injured, so let's disperse."

He has been in the top position for a long time and speaks with an unquestionable spirit. Several scholars were immediately furious.

"Who are you? You dare to point fingers here."

"He is just afraid of treating himself as a prince and minister."

"We are Suzhou Junyan, the future pillar of the country. Will the country rely on the front line in the future?"

"Rich, ridiculous."

...

Especially the men on the pleasure boat, they were even more sarcastic and sarcastic.

Hou Xuan's eyebrows were raised, his pupils tightened in his eyes, and he slapped the railing on the bow. Qin He's face changed drastically, and he said half-kneel: "Give upset, the commander!" The guards in the cabin came out one after another, drawing their swords in his hand.

Qin He shouted: "Take it for me!"

The scholars were stunned, and the prostitutes who were playing with each other were frightened and even the boatmen were shocked and suspicious.

Qin He cursed angrily: "Your dog eyes are blind. This is the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Hou Xuan, and Hou."

The personal soldiers set up road boards and slid a few people to the official boat like they caught chickens. Hou Xuanyan asked through the boat: "Boatman, which one are you from?"

Although he had never seen Hou Xuanyan, his famous boatman still knew about it. The burly man bowed his head and said, "We are the Gu family's fleet. We have been ordered by our boss to transport supplies in Changzhou."

Hou Xuanyan smiled and said, "Is it the original Zhang family?"

The man scratched his head and said shyly: "My lord is aware of our original boss. Our original boss was the Zhang family. Later, the Zhang family made a mistake and we were taken over by Mr. Gu."

Hou Xuanyan nodded and said, "You go back and tell your boss that every ship that used to travel to Changzhou during this period will be subsidized by one or two taels of silver. Changzhou is not as good as Suzhou, and the money and food are not enough to resist Qing dogs. You have worked hard recently."

Everyone on the cargo ship looked happy and after thanking each other, they drove to Suzhou City.

Hou Xuanyan turned his head, the smile on his face gradually dissipated, and he looked at the eight scholars pressed to the ground coldly.

The leader of the group was stammering his neck and was about to show his spirit of not fearing the powerful, but was shocked by Hou Xuan's aura and stuttered and could not speak.

"Xia Wanchun from Huating in Songjiang left her beautiful wife in the wedding night and came here angrily to fight against the Qing Dynasty. Others are scholars, you are scholars, and you have all read in your dog's belly?"

A scholar's face turned purple and he struggled to stand up. Qin He kicked him in the knee. He raised his head and looked fierce and harsh, and he shouted loudly: "We are innocent!"

Hou Xuanyan took over a cup of tea handed over by his subordinates and was about to take a sip of it to moisten his throat. When he heard this, he raised the teacup and threw it on his face. He cursed: "Fart! Invasion of foreign races, we men cannot defend against the enemy outside the country, so that our compatriots will suffer all the harm. A man is guilty of being a man, why are you innocent? You are a group of things that are a disaster to the country, and you are a group of people who are suffering from war preparations. "

The eight scholars were speechless. They were good at pulling books and mocking them at this time, and they dared not use them.

When Hou Xuanyan saw their faces, he was so disgusting that he waved his hand and said, "It's important to go to Changzhou. Don't waste time sending them to the shore. Take them all to Changzhou, one person and one armor, and join the guard team."

When the eight people heard this, they were so scared that their faces looked like earth and shaking like sieve.

Qin He pointed to the four prostitutes behind him, and three were wet, huddled aside and dared not speak.

"Sir, what should I do with these four?"
