On the Yangtze River, a huge warship was breaking through the wind and waves and descending down the river. The river water kept rolling along both sides of the huge warship. Huge slurry stretched out from the lower layer of the warship, first raised high, then quickly entered the water, bringing countless waves, and the whole action was full of beauty.

Today is sunny and there are various densely packed cargo ships and fishing boats coming and going on the river. However, compared with this giant ship, ordinary ships, seem to be the difference between ants and elephants.

Seeing this big ship coming, whether it was a cargo ship or a fishing boat on the river, they quickly avoided the main channel and let the giant ship pass through, because everyone understood that only the Five-Tooth Dragon Battle in the Sui Army Navy was the only one who could ride on the Five-Tooth Battleship. The person who could ride on the Five-Tooth Battleship was definitely not an ordinary general.

Yang Su stood on the deck of the highest level of the Five-Tooth Battleship, allowing the Jiang Feng to blow his clothes. The feeling of looking down from a high place was very wonderful. All living beings seemed to be in control, but at this time, Yang Su frowned, and this condescending look could not blow away the fear in his heart.

All this started with receiving a letter from the prince more than half a month ago. In the letter, the prince intended to take over the Jiangnan Grand Tour. This was a good thing, but based on his relationship with the prince, he couldn't understand why the prince handed over this position to him. Is it true that the prince knew about the matter in Xiangzhou as Liu Renen said, and intended to lure him to Jiankang?

"No, no." Yang Su shook his head and dispelled this idea. What's more, even if the prince knows it, in the fourth year of Kaihuang, the tigress of the family, Zheng, reported that he was going to rebel. The emperor was different and just punished him a few words lightly. Yang Su didn't believe it. The prince dared to take the blame against him.

"Although the divine turtle is alive, the chance is finally here." I am over 40 years old. If I don't seize this opportunity, will I really want to spend time in vain?"

After comforting himself, Yang Su still couldn't escape the clouds brought by the road. On the second day of departure, the flagpole of the central army broke for no reason. More than ten miles from the riverside, thousands of toads suddenly blocked the way on the road. After boarding the ship, they finally started to have a smooth flow. However, halfway through the boat, they encountered another heavy rain and thunder. The wind and waves were so strong that even the five-toothed ship had to dock and rest for a day.

Whether all these unknown signs were God’s warning to him? Liu Renen kept advising him not to come before he got on the boat. But how could Yang Su let go of the temptation to be the emperor of Jiangnan?

"Qinghe Gong, you'll be Jiankang for another half an hour." The voice of a middle-aged man sounded in Yang Su's ears, and there was a hint of sadness in his voice.

Yang Su felt a stern in his heart and said in a lost voice: "So quickly?" After saying that, he immediately realized that he had lost his composure and quickly added: "General Zhou must be very familiar with Jiankang. When he arrived at Jiankang, I still have to rely on General Zhou to lead the way."

This middle-aged man was Zhou Luohou, the former governor of the Chen Navy. Zhou Luohou was proficient in water wars. Zhou, Qi and Chen were in the same state. Every time Chen State fought with Zhou and Qi, Zhou Luohou was the first general. The navy under his command often fought Zhou, and Qi. The navy of Qi and Qi did not dare to enter the Yangtze River channel.

When the Sui army attacked Chen this time, he was the commander-in-chief of the navy and governor of Baxia and the military affairs of the Yuanjiang River. He was only smuggled across the river by the Sui army. Zhou Luohou's navy's power was suddenly lost. Even so, Zhou Luohou persisted until the end. Until he received the edict of Chen Shubao's surrender, and the commander Chen Huiji surrendered to the Sui army, Zhou Luohou had no choice but to order to surrender to the Sui army. Yang Su was also impressed by this former Chen general who had always been able to confront him with his weak forces. After Zhou Luohou surrendered, Yang Su strongly won him over in hopes that Zhou Luohou could become his confidant.

Zhou Luohou was of course familiar with Jiankang, but things were different. At this time, Jiankang was no longer the original Jiankang, and he replied bitterly in his heart: "I am obedient."

"It seems that General Zhou still has his homeland?" Yang Su turned his head and looked at Zhou Luohou with bright eyes, as if he was about to look directly at Zhou Luohou's heart.

This sentence has a profound meaning, but Zhou Luohou was not panicked at all, and his face seemed even more gloomy: "Duke Qinghe, no one can be ruthless, who can be ruthless? He served Da Chen for twenty years, and now Da Chen has disappeared, so humble job is naturally sad."

"The old country has been destroyed, General Zhou is still loyal and righteous. What I appreciate most is General Zhou. Today I hope General Zhou can treat me like this in this way."

"The Weishi was already a subordinate of Qinghe Duke, so he was naturally allowed to be sent by Qinghe Duke."

Yang Su nodded, very satisfied with Zhou Luohu's reaction. This person is proficient in water warfare and is a rare talent. Getting his allegiance is like a tiger. If he becomes a Jiangnan Grand Station and has been operating for several years, the south may really be able to compete with the north. At that time... Thinking of this, Yang Su's heart became hot and he could no longer care about whether there were any signs on the road. He wished he could go to Jiankang City now.

In Jiankang City, a team of hundreds of cavalrymen were slowly advancing on the main street. In the middle were three young men in their twenties. The three of them were all dressed in gorgeous clothes and had a somewhat similar face. They rode on a tall horse, and the jade ornaments on their bodies drifted in the wind, making pleasant sounds.

The people around saw this team of cavalry coming and avoided aside. When the three of them passed by, many even bowed their heads and knelt down. These three were naturally the princes of the Sui Dynasty, King of Jin and King of Qin. Since Yang Jun came to Jiankang, the three brothers have gone out of the city to hunt almost every day. At this moment, many of the cavalry were covered with small prey such as yellow sheep, sika deer, wild boars, and some wild pheasants, hares, etc., and they were obviously just returning from hunting.

The three of them walked slowly, talking and laughing, and it was so comfortable. Until a fork in the road, Yang Guang bowed to Yang Yong first: "Brother, third brother, my mansion is ahead, I will say goodbye first."

"Second brother is easy to leave!"

"Second brother is easy to leave!"

Yang Yong and Yang Jun also hurriedly returned the greetings to Yang Guang. Yang Guang then rolled his horses and headed on another road. After walking for a while, Yang Jun also arrived. The three brothers immediately went their separate ways and returned to their own residences.

When they returned to the house, the guards took off their prey from their horses and threw it on the ground, waiting for people from the kitchen to take away the prey. However, the wheat iron rod dropped a wild boar weighing more than 100 pounds from their shoulders. The wild boar was shining with a shiny fur, except for a little blood on the corner of his mouth, and no scars on his body.

Everyone is no longer surprised by the behavior of the Mai Tie Staff. With him, he doesn't even need to use a knife or a bow or arrow when hunting. When discovering prey, the Mai Tie Staff just spread his legs and chased him and strangled the prey's neck with his hands. Whether it is a wild boar, a yellow sheep, or other prey, except for flying prey, it is almost as good as the legs of the Mai Tie Staff. Once the prey is strangled by the Mai Tie Staff with his hands, he will die. If it weren't for the Mai Tie Staff that he set the rule of hunting only one prey at a time, no one would be willing to hunt with him, because as long as you find the prey, just when you are about to draw your bow and arrow, the Mai Tie Staff had already captured the prey with both sides.

Naturally, Yang Yong would not carry prey on his body, so he threw Chi Ying's reins to Ma Tong directly. When he returned to the main hall, Lu Mulin came to Yang Yong with a stack of information and said, "Your Highness, the information about Mai Tie Staff has been collected."

"Oh." Yang Yong picked up the information and looked through it. Yang Yong had already trusted Mai Tiebang very much. Apart from being a little bit crazy about official and financial, and having a little bit of appetite, he basically had no other shortcomings. He was straightforward and had good skills. With him, he could basically be more than ten guards. If he had weapons in his hand, Yang Yong suspected that even if he encountered an army of hundreds of people, Mai Tiebang could kill Mai Tiebang several times. However, before fully understanding the details, Yang Yong would definitely not be able to use it with confidence, so Lu Mulin tried to check it carefully.

There is a lot of information about Mai Tiebang. It took Yang Yong a half hour to finish reading. This man was born in poverty, but he was extremely powerful and learned martial arts. When he could not support himself with his strength, he naturally could not help but embark on the evil path. Not only did he be a robber, but he also really became Emperor Xuan of Chen. However, even when he was a umbrella next to Emperor Xuan, Mai Tiebang was still wild and could not be eliminated. He walked a hundred miles away at night to rob him. After the incident, he was locked up by the Ministry of Justice. Fortunately, Emperor Xuan cherished his martial arts and did not punish him too much and continued to let him be a umbrella.

After Emperor Xuan of Chen died, Chen Shubao stayed in the palace all day and did not go out. Naturally, he did not want a thick man like Mai Tiezhang to be by his side, so he sent him to the army from afar. After Chen Huiji surrendered, in order to please the Sui army, he recommended him to the Marquis of Wuxiang Cui Hongdu, and Cui Hongdu recommended him to Yang Jun, and finally came to Yang Yong.

After reading the information, Yang Yong was still confused and asked: "Why does this Mai Tie Staff need to be robbed after becoming Emperor Chen Xuan's umbrella?"

Lu Mulin smiled and said, "Crown Prince, I can explain that Mai Tiebang is the queen who holds the imperial umbrella and often helps friends who were both bandits before. In this way, money will naturally be short of money and have to regain his old career."

"So, this Mai Tiebang is still a very loyal person and refuses to enjoy wealth alone."

"Go back to Your Highness, that's exactly what it is."

Yang Yong's love for Mai Tiebang is a little more. It is easy to share hardships and wealth. It is rare for Mai Tiebang to give up his salary for his friends. For his friends, he even threw himself into office and did illegal things again. It is hard to find such friends in ancient and modern times. No wonder he has developed his personality as a slutty official and financial enchantment. Thinking of this, Yang Yong became a little worried. If Mai Tiebang breaks the law again for money, he is not an emperor after all, and he cannot protect him like Emperor Chen Xuan. Even if he really becomes an emperor, he cannot indulge his subordinates to break the law.

"Mai Tiebang still has contacts with those bandits?"

Lu Mulin shook his head: "Don't worry, your highness, there is no more. Mai Tiebang is loyal, but his bandit friends are not loyal. After learning that Mai Tiebang was indicted, these people thought that Mai Tiebang would definitely die. Not only did they not want to reduce the crime and punishment for Mai Tiebang, but they swept the property of Mai Tiebang's house when Mai Tiebang was not at home. If Emperor Chen Xuan had not released Mai Tiebang early, his wife and children would have starved to death."

Yang Yong sighed suddenly, Mai Tiebang was careless in making friends, but fortunately he did not make a big mistake. He closed the information and handed it back to Lu Mulin, saying: "Seal these information as a secondary secret."

"Yes!" Lu Mulin picked up the information and was about to go down when a hurried step came from outside. A guard shouted: "Report, Your Highness, there is emergency information."

"Come in!"

"Yes." The guard stepped in and shouted: "Report to the prince, Lord Yang Su, the Duke of Qinghe, has arrived at the Jiankang Ferry. Gao Pushe asked for instructions whether the prince would like to greet him in person."

"Yang Su is here?" Yang Yong was overjoyed and jumped up from the chair with joy: "Yang Su, Yang Su, you are finally here." He was about to go out immediately, but he felt it was inappropriate, so he paced back and forth in the hall.

The guard who came in to report was puzzled. Although Duke Qinghe was favored by the emperor, his relationship with the prince was not good. He came. Is it necessary for the prince to be so excited?

Yang Yong walked around a few times before he found that the guards were still in the hall. He quickly waved his hand: "You go down first."

"But Your Highness, how can you repay the nobles of Gao?"

"Well, just tell Gao that I can't take time for the time being, so let him go out for me to greet Yang Su on behalf of me."

"Yes, I'm a humble job."

The guard continued to be confused, and Lu Mulin wanted to speak but stopped. Apart from the prince himself, only Lu Mulin knew about the purpose of the prince summoning Yang Su to Jiankang. When the matter was about to come, Lu Mulin was still a little uneasy: "Your Highness, why not write Yang Su's crimes into a memorial and hand them over to the emperor for disposal? Do you have to ask Your Highness to do it yourself?"

"Did Lu Qing forget the past four years of Kaihuang?"

When Yang Yong mentioned this, Lu Mulin could not speak immediately. In the fourth year of Kaihuang, because Yang Su was dissatisfied with his wife Zheng's jealousy, he angrily said to Zheng: "If I become the emperor, you will definitely not be the queen."

Yang Su originally thought it was a joke between husband and wife, but unexpectedly, Zheng implicated this sentence at the Jingzhao Yin office, and a sudden uproar occurred in the capital. Yang Su was going to rebel openly, but the emperor was in charge of destroying the nine clans, but the emperor only dismissed Yang Su. Less than a few months later, Yang Su was resurrected again.
