Hu Chuaner's father was named Hu Li. Because of the homonym of the word, people in Runzhou called him a fox. When it comes to the tooth fox at Runzhou Wharf, not only the people in Runzhou are familiar with it, but even the merchants who come and go are all aware of it.

Huli was as thin as his son, with a little gray hair and a pair of extremely cunning eyes. He sat at the table and squinted his eyes and drank a glass of wine, and asked his son opposite him, "Zhang Shun said he followed Taiwei Li?"

"That's what he said, otherwise he wouldn't dare to come to Runzhou so openly!"

Speaking of this, Hu Chuaner asked again: "Dad, who is Taiwei Li?"

Hu Li glared at his son, "Master Li is Li Yanqing, you are still too good!"

Li Yanqing defended the city three times and defeated the Jin soldiers, which had already become famous all over the world, but the people called him Li Dutong. Speaking of Taiwei Li, few people outside the capital knew about it.

Hu Chuaner was a little embarrassed to scratch her head, "But can Li Yanqing look for it? No! What is Zhang Shun going to do with Red?"

Huli pondered for a moment and said, "This matter is probably a bit big."

"What should I do? I have already collected ten taels of silver from Zhang Shun and promised to reply to him before dark." Hu Chuaner was very afraid of Zhang Shun. Although Brother Shun shouted smoothly, he knew that Zhang Shun had been a famous Jiang bandit on the Yangtze River. He killed people like a thief. He really annoyed him and his life would definitely not be guaranteed.

Huli drank the wine in the glass and ate it heavily on the table, "I'll go find him now!"

As soon as the sky was getting dark, the Hu family and his son met Zhang Shun in the Beishun Tavern. Zhang Shun knew that Hu Li liked to drink a few cups, so he bought a pot of wine and ordered a few cold dishes.

"Brother Shun may not know yet that Red has been incorporated by the Jiangning government."

Zhang Shun was surprised. He really didn't know about this. He asked quickly: "When did it happen?"

"Just at the beginning of the year, this matter was quite hidden. Red's money-taking mailbox disappeared. The merchants were very happy and thought Red had been surrounded by the government, but in fact Red surrendered to the government."

"Then where is he now?"

"It should be in Taihu Lake. Last month, I met one of his subordinates who went back to Runzhou to visit relatives. We had a few drinks together. His subordinates said that they are training the navy in Taihu Lake now, with more than 2,000 people and more than 200 boats. Now Red has been promoted to commander of the wing army."

Zhang Shun nodded. As long as the government ensures that the safety of the people crossing the Yangtze River and changes to land after crossing the Yangtze River, there will be no problem.

He thought about it and said, "If Red enters the Yangtze River, you should know!"

"As long as he walks through the canal, I will definitely be clear. I am afraid that he will go to Lishui, so I will have nothing to do."

Of course, Zhang Shun knew that Taihu Lake and the Yangtze River had two channels. One was from Runzhou to the Yangtze River, and the other was from Lishui to Wuhu to the Yangtze River. If Red had already gone to Lishui to the Yangtze River, the consequences would be difficult to predict.

Zhang Shun immediately made a decision that he would go to see Dutong Li immediately.

After seven days of sailing, the fleet arrived in Jiangdu County, Yangzhou. Although Li Yanqing followed Prince Yun to Suzhou many years ago, they did not follow the line of Yangzhou at that time. This was the first time Li Yanqing came to Yangzhou. After seven days of travel, his subordinates were already exhausted. Li Yanqing immediately ordered a three-day rest and then continued to set off after three days.

In the early morning, Li Yanqing took Zhao Jinfu and Hu Qing'er to the Shugang Lake outside the northern city to have fun. Cao Sheng and his wife had their own world. Mo Jun accidentally blew the river breeze last night. He felt a little sick and rested in the inn. Although Hu Qing'er didn't want to come out with them, she was still forced to go out with Zhao Fujin.

Shugang is a hill outside Jiangdu City, stretching for dozens of miles, with towering trees and deep valleys. Various strange rocks and springs can be seen everywhere. It is a famous scenic spot outside Jiangdu City.

There is a chain-shaped water pool under Shugang, which is connected to the canal on the east side and close to Shugang on the west side. There are many pavilions and towers built by the lake, as well as many famous historical sites. The scenery is very beautiful. This is the later Slender West Lake. However, Slender West Lake was not fully formed in the Song Dynasty, and it cannot even be called a lake. It is only part of the canal. It was not until the Qing Dynasty that it became a famous scenic spot.

"This road is called Changdi Chunliu, which was built when the Grand Canal was built in the Sui Dynasty. The old willows on both sides were said to be planted by Emperor Yang Guang of Sui, so they are called Yangliu!"

The three of them had just finished playing from Shugang and were a little tired. They were walking slowly along the green shady embankment, but Li Yanqing was in high spirits and introduced the source of the weeping willow trees on both sides of the dam.

Seeing that Zhao Jinfu couldn't help but cover his mouth and chuckled, Hu Qing'er asked, "What are Sister Zhao laughing at?"

Zhao Fujin pursed his lips and said, "I thought maybe I had read a few fake and inferior history books in the palace, but I actually wrote the history randomly."

Li Yanqing was a little surprised, "How do you say this?"

Zhao Fujin pointed to the willow tree and smiled, "Looking at these willow trees, they only look thirty or fifty years ago, but those books say that Emperor Yang of Sui was from more than 500 years ago. Isn't it a nonsense?"

Hu Qing'er immediately understood and couldn't help laughing loudly. Li Yanqing touched his nose and laughed: "It is said that it is a folk legend, a folk legend! You also know that it is made up randomly and cannot be taken as real."

"Brother, there is a tea shed over there!" Hu Qing'er suddenly found a tea shed in front of her and shouted happily.

Li Yanqing hesitated for a moment, and he remembered that the magistrate was coming to see him in the afternoon, and it was already noon now.

"Brother Li, why don't we go back!"

After a long walk from the mountain, Zhao Fujin accidentally wrinkled his feet, which was really painful. Although she wanted to sit down and rest for a while, she knew that Li Yanqing had something to do in the afternoon, so she suggested going back.

Li Yanqing glanced at her feet and smiled and said, "Let's go back after a while!"

He immediately ordered the two personal soldiers behind him: "You go and inform the carriage to come here!"

They passed through the mountain, and the carriage was on the other side of Shugang, and they walked around for at least ten miles.

The two personal soldiers nodded, turned around and ran towards the original route.

Hu Qing'er also found that Zhao Fujin had difficulty walking, so she hurriedly supported her and walked towards the tea shed.

The tea shed was opened by an old couple, and it can be seen that it is very simple. Two thin bamboo poles are supported by a bamboo shed that has been around for many years. It is already broken by wind and rain. There are three old and heavy tables and chairs under it, but the bowls and chopsticks on the table look relatively clean.

There was no business in the tea shed, so as soon as they walked in, the old man came out, "The official and the two girls come and have a bowl of tea to rest!"

Li Yanqing nodded, "What else is there except tea?"

"There are some refreshments. If the official is hungry, my family will steam a few baskets of buns, and other food will be gone for the time being."

Hu Qing'er pouted and whispered: "Brother, I'm anxious to come out. I haven't eaten breakfast."

"Okay! Have a pot of good tea, two plates of refreshments, and two more baskets of buns."

The old man was happy and quickly wiped the wooden stool, "Please sit down, three of you, refreshments and food will come soon!"

The three of them sat down, Zhao Fujin took off the gauze hat from her head and placed it on the table. She suddenly felt a sharp pain on her feet and bit her lips. Li Yanqing asked with concern: "Is it hurt so much?"

Seeing that the lover was concerned about him, Zhao Fujin felt sweet in his heart and whispered: "It's not a big problem, it's just a little bit worn out, just take a break for two or three days."

"I have the best medicine for stimulation, and I'll get it for you when I go back."

"Thank you, Brother Li!"

Hu Qing'er curled her lips and said to Li Yanqing with some dissatisfaction: "Brother, my feet are twisted, why don't you care?"

"Your feet are twisted too? Let's stretch it over and I'll pinch it for you!"

Hu Qing'er stretched out her legs and kicked Li Yanqing, humming: "I want to take advantage of me, but I have no way!"

At this time, the shopkeeper brought the teapot and refreshments over and said with a smile: "Tea is Shugang tea I grow myself. This year's new tea, the water is also good. It is the mountain spring water from Shugang West Peak. I only received it this morning. The refreshments are also the square cakes from Wuweizhai in the city. The goods I bought yesterday are relatively fresh. Please try them all."

"Thank you, the shopkeeper, let's do it ourselves."

Li Yanqing took the teapot, washed the tea bowl first, and filled a cup for each of the three of them. The tea water was green and clear, and the tea smelled so good. It looked really good.

At this time, many tourists came to this place in the distance. When Hu Qing'er saw the shopkeeper greeting the guests again, she hurriedly asked the old woman who was cooking tea, "Auntie, is the bun ready?"

"It'll be fine soon, girl wait a moment."

Li Yanqing picked up the tea bowl and sniffed it carefully, and tasted the water a little. The tea smelled fragrant and the tea was clear and sweet. He couldn't help but nodded. He never went to the tea shed in the capital to drink tea. Those were big bowls of tea for the coolies at the bottom, one or two cents a bowl. Today, this tea shed is good, and the tea is good and the water is good.

"Brother Li, the tea is not bad!" Zhao Fujin asked with a smile.

"The water is very good, better than the water in Yuquan Mountain, our capital."
