    Hangzhou.

    This beautiful and famous city belonged to the "Yangzhou Domain" before the Zhou Dynasty.  Legend has it that when Xia Yu controlled the floods, the country was divided into nine states, and the vast area south of the Yangtze River was generally called Yangzhou.  During Xia Yu's tour to the south, he gathered the princes at Kuaiji Mountain and sailed past here in a boat. He left the rest of Hangzhou here, hence the name "Yuhang".  The Yue people called this place "Yuhang". Later, the word "Yu" was passed down orally, and "Yu" was mistakenly called "Yu".  In the Southern Song Dynasty, Hangzhou began its heyday.

    In the third year of Jianyan's reign in the Southern Song Dynasty, a palace was built in Hangzhou to serve as his residence. It was promoted to Lin'an Prefecture and its administrative seat was Qiantang.  It governs nine counties: Qiantang, Renhe, Lin'an, Yuhang, Yuqian, Changhua, Fuyang, Xincheng and Yangong. The area is roughly the same as that of the Tang Dynasty.  In the eighth year of Shaoxing's reign, Hangzhou's city walls were expanded and divided into an inner city and an outer city.  The inner city, that is, the imperial city, has a radius of nine miles and surrounds Fenghuang Mountain. It starts from Fengshan Gate in the north, reaches Jianggan in the south, reaches Wansongling in the west, and reaches Houchao Gate in the east. Within the imperial city, palaces, halls, towers, pavilions, and other buildings were built.  There are many palaces and royal gardens.  The outer city spans Wushan Mountain in the south, Wulin Gate in the north, West Lake on the right, and Qiantang River on the left. It is magnificent.  There are thirteen gates and a moat outside the city.

    Because many people from the north moved south with the imperial court, the population of Lin'an Prefecture increased sharply.

    As soon as Ding Yunyi and others arrived in Hangzhou, the three women were immediately attracted by the beautiful scenery of Hangzhou, and they were still not satisfied after a whole day of fun.

    Ding Yunyi and Ding Zongzhen had no interest in traveling at all, but he couldn't show it in front of the three women, so he could only stay with them in silence for the whole day.

    "These three women are so beautiful. If they suddenly appeared in Hangzhou, I'm afraid they would cause another commotion in Hangzhou.  Therefore, they all put on men's clothes. Although their behavior was serious, they were petite and looked like women at first glance.  Fortunately, the women disguised themselves as men, covering up their appearance, and no one else had any idea, so no commotion was caused.

    It¡¯s almost dark now.  Gu Hengbo suddenly said: "Tao Yi Taoist and Hedong Jun both live by the West Lake, why not go to their place to enjoy the autumn breeze?"

    Li Xiangjun and Wang Yue applauded in unison, but Ding Yunyi pretended to frown: "They and I have never been together. Besides, there are differences between men and women, so I'm afraid it wouldn't be good to interrupt them rashly."

    "Oh, when did Mr. Ding become such a gentleman?" Li Xiangjun said with disdain.

    Wang Yue had the best intentions: "It doesn't matter. Taoist Cao Yi and Mr. Hedong are both generous people. Mr. Hedong often wears men's clothes on weekdays, and he has a deep love for us sisters. Besides, Taoist Cao Yi's beloved husband Xu Yuqing is afraid that  Yes, too."

    "Don't pay attention to him, he is just showing off." Gu Hengbo pursed his lips and smiled.

    Liu Rushi wandered alone to the West Lake in Hangzhou.  By chance, I met Wang Wei, my senior who lived in seclusion here. She was once a famous prostitute, but now she calls herself "Taoist in Grass Clothes".  Seeing this, Liu Rushi also rented a house by the West Lake and lived there, becoming neighbors with Taoist Cao Yi.  I often go to Caoyidao people's houses to chat and compare poems.

    Xu Yuqing came back this day.  After meeting Wang Wei and his wife, they went next door to invite Liu Rushi to have dinner with them. As soon as the food was served, someone outside heard someone shouting: "Is Taoist Cao Yi here? Here comes the autumn wind blower."

    Wang Wei, the Taoist priest in straw clothes, was startled at first, then he and Liu Rushi laughed at the same time: "Okay. Okay, okay, Gu Hengbo is here after all."

    The two of them went out together, and Liu Rushi took the lead: "Where is Brother Mei?"

    "It's my brother, your brother-in-law is here!"

    It was Wang Yue who said this, and Liu Rushi saw him.  It turned out that Gu Hengbo, Wang Yue and Li Xiangjun all came. At that time, they and Taoist Cao Yi were overjoyed. They held hands and kept talking and laughing.

    The pitiful and dignified Wu Liebo Ding Yunyi was left aside in the cold.

    Ding Yunyi looked quietly at the Taoist man in straw clothes and Liu Rushi.  Seeing that Taoist Cao Yi is thirty-six or seven years old, his charm is still there. He must have been a great beauty in his youth.

    Liu Rushi is wearing men's clothes like Gu Hengbo and the others, but she can't hide her graceful figure. She has bright eyes, a straight nose, a pretty mouth, and white and tender skin. If she puts on women's clothes, she will charm many men.

    I see how charming Qingshan is, but I don¡¯t expect Qingshan to be so charming when seeing me!

    She has a bold personality, just like Gu Hengbo.  She calls Gu Hengbo "Brother Mei", and Gu Hengbo calls her "Brother". Although both of them are women, they make themselves look like men.

    Several women laughed and laughed for a while, and Taoist Cao Yi finally discovered Ding Yunyi's existence. He was shocked. Gu Hengbo, Wang Yue, and Li Xiangjun were all very high-minded. Why did they bring a man with them this time?

    She is the master and does not dare to neglect: "Who is this?"

    No need to be introduced, Ding Yunyi said in a low voice: "The driver."

    This time, Gu Hengbo and the three women burst into laughter again. They only cared about the reunion of their friends, but they left the hall alone.The chief soldier of the hall was neglected.

    Wang Yue smiled and said: "Taoist Cao Yi, Mr. Hedong, this is Mr. Wu Liebo, Fujian Commander-in-Chief, Hussar General, Lord Protector Ding Yun Yi Ding."

    Taoist Cao Yi had only vaguely heard of this person¡¯s name and said calmly, ¡°The daughter of the people has met Mr. Ding.¡±

    She felt strange. Considering the personalities of Gu Hengbo, Wang Yue and Li Xiangjun, they had always been arrogant and did not like to associate with officials. Why were they with Wu Liebo today?

    Liu Rushi exclaimed: "Could it be Ding Huben who fought in the bloody battle in Yingzhou and broke thieves in the Central Plains?"

    "Don't dare, don't dare." Seeing that Liu Rushi had also heard his name, Ding Yunyi felt quite proud.

    "Who is the murderer Ding Huben?"

    At this time, another voice came from behind.

    Taoist Cao Yi looked back and saw that his husband, Xu Yuqing, had come out.

    Xu Yuqing came to the front in a few steps and looked Ding Yunyi up and down: "Are you the butcher Ding Yunyi?"

    "That's right. Who is sir?"

    "I am Xu Yuqing. I have heard the name of Ding Huben for a long time. How lucky I am to meet you today!"

    Taoist Cao Yi was surprised, Ai Lang is a scholar, how could he recognize such a warrior?

    Xu Yuqing was full of admiration: "'Ding Huben is the murderer, Ding Yunyi is the butcher; Ding Huben is unstoppable, Ding Yunyi is the murderer! Rivers of blood flow everywhere from Huben, and mountains of corpses appear when the butcher comes!' Ding Huben's fame moves the world. The Central Plains is flat, in fact, it is flat.  He is my best general in the Ming Dynasty. Please pay your respects to Xu Yuqing!"

    "Don't dare to take it seriously, sir, get up quickly." Ding Yunyi hurriedly helped him.

    "If words like "Butcher Ding and Murderer" had fallen into the ears of Gu Hengbo and others before, they would have felt disgusted and avoided them.  But now that they heard it, they only felt that their vision was correct. Ding Yunyi was indeed a great hero.  Even celebrities like Xu Yuqing admired him so much!

    After hearing this, Liu Rushi unconsciously looked at Ding Yunyi for a while

    Ding Yunyi also had a great impression of Xu Yuqing. He was a Jinshi in the 44th year of Wanli and was awarded the Jinhua official title.  In the third year of Tianqi's reign, he was responsible for the affairs of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. He resisted and criticized Wei Zhongxian for his treason and immorality, so he reduced his rank and returned. He became an official during the Chongzhen period, and the officials in the court framed each other. He often ignored his words and reduced his status.  After the death of Chongzhen, Guanglu Qing was appointed, but if he did not leave, he died as a monk in Ming Dynasty.  I vowed not to serve the Manchus to the death.

    Ding Yunyi, who is famous all over the world, is here, and his wife's best friend is also here. Xu Yuqing hurriedly ordered his servants to prepare more food and wine, and he wanted to accompany Ding Yunyi to get drunk today.

    Xu Yuqing also accompanied Ding Yunyi to drink three cups, and then said while enjoying the wine: "I am in Hangzhou. I have also heard of Ding Huben's reputation. He captured Gao Yingxiang alive, defeated Zhang Xianzhong, and defeated Li Zicheng. How generous and heroic I am in the Ming Dynasty."  General. Why worry that the world cannot be peaceful?"

    "Where is it that you are a real celebrity? You regard fame as dirt. The court asked you to come out several times, but you declined. This kind of magnanimity is not something that those fake celebrities can have."

    Hearing Ding Yunyi praise his beloved husband, Cao Yi Taoist was also happy. Xu Yuqing sighed: "I don't want to go out. Just imagine, first there was Wei Zhongxian, then Wen Tiren, and now Zhou Yanru. These people only know how to fight for power.  Pengbi is a traitor, how many people are really working for the imperial court? Although I, Xu Yuqing, have no ability, I don¡¯t even bother to work for these people.¡±

    Ding Yunyi admired him in his heart, knowing that Xu Yuqing was talented and courageous, and could not be compared to those so-called celebrities who were trying to sell dog meat over sheep's heads.  Suddenly there was something in my mind: "Sir, since I don't want to be an official under those people, I know a place where I can show off my talent. I wonder if I would like to go there?"

    "Oh? Where?" Xu Yuqing asked without paying much attention.

    "Taiwan!"

    "Taiwan?" Xu Yuqing didn't react for a moment.

    "Yes, it is Taiwan!" Ding Yunyi nodded: "Ding has the trust of the Holy Father and controls the military and political affairs of Taiwan and Penghu. Talents like Mr. are needed."

    "This." Xu Yuqing hesitated: "I'm used to being lazy, and I'm greedy for the beautiful scenery of Hangzhou. I'm afraid I won't be able to make the trek."

    Ding Yunyi knew that this was his excuse and said with a smile: "Sir, you are in your prime, are you willing to live your life like this? I know that others say that Taiwan is a barbaric land, poor and cold, but they are just some people who have never been there.  Those who have experienced it presume to speculate that our Taiwan is located on the sea and is the barrier of the Ming Dynasty's coast. Not to mention the eight scenic spots and twelve scenic spots on the island, which are the most beautiful in the world, nor to talk about how diligent and hard-working the Taiwanese people are to open up fertile land.  To put it bluntly, in order to guard the barrier for the Ming Dynasty, Taiwan's military and civilians have worked hard. Today, there is the Golden Eagle City, towering inside, and there are Tiger Guards and excellent naval forces outside, shuttling back and forth.We work together to protect Taiwan and Peng to the death. Isn't it possible that such an imposing figure is still unmoved?  "

    Not only Xu Yuqing, but also Gu Hengbo's three daughters heard Ding Yunyi talking about Taiwan in detail for the first time. Even Liu Rushi couldn't help but be attracted by Ding Yunyi's words.

    Just listen to Ding Yunyi talking: "We have tens of thousands of tiger guards and navy in Taiwan. We are determined to be pirates internally and fight against the West externally. But with our tiger guards here, we will never allow the pirates to wreak havoc in the West and protect the peace of Fujian for all generations. Previous episode  The four countries of the West and the West formed a combined fleet to attack Taiwan and Penghu. Fortunately, our Tiger Guards fought with one heart and fought bloody battles to defeat the West and West fleet. Such wars may happen frequently in the future, but we, Taiwan, are loyal.  There are generals who can fight to the death, but there is no one who is as good at guiding and guiding as the gentleman. Ding Yunyi is a vulgar warrior. If he dares to invite the gentleman and his wife to go to Taiwan again today, Ding Yunyi will definitely treat her as a guest and will never let him go.  Disappointed sir and madam!¡±

    Before Xu Yuqing could answer, Liu Rushi's blood boiled with excitement: "Sir, what are you waiting for? Although I am a woman, I am also moved by Ding Huben's ambition and loyalty to the country. I have no ambition, but I hide in the mountains. Is it possible?"  Don¡¯t you feel that your talent has been wronged?¡±

    Xu Yuqing did not hesitate anymore, stood up and bowed deeply to the Taoist priest in grass clothes: "Madam, Mr. Ding invites you like this, how can I continue to be pretentious? I am worried about Madam, and I sincerely ask Madam to come to Taiwan with me!"

    The Taoist priest stood up and bowed back: "Xu Man, Xu Man, since you are going, why don't I go with you? We will always be together in life and death."

    "Xu Man" is a word that others don't understand, but it is the nickname between him and his wife.

    Xu Yuqing bowed to Ding Yunyi again: "I went to Taiwan and will be your subordinate from now on. If you have any missions, I dare not delay for a moment. If I have made any mistakes, please forgive me."

    Ding Yunyi stood up and said with a smile: "Sir, a great talent came to Taiwan. Ding is very thirsty for talents. Even if he reprimands me in person, Ding will definitely accept my teachings humbly."

    The two of them looked at each other and smiled, and it was a foregone conclusion that Xu Yun would go to Taiwan.

    Ding Yunyi had more than that on his mind. He suddenly turned around and saw Liu Rushi, who also bowed her head and said, "Ding Yunyi is so presumptuous as to ask you to come to Taiwan with us!"

    Liu Rushi couldn't help but be startled.  She had just listened to Ding Yunyi describe what Taiwan was like. She originally liked traveling around and had already thought about going to Taiwan, but she just couldn't say it. At this time, Ding Yunyi was the first to say it, but she hesitated.

    Ding Yunyi had already thought of the words: "Gu Hengbo went to my Taiwan, Wang Yue went, Li Xiangjun went, and even Taoist Cao Yi went. The girl is alone here, why don't you go? After arriving in my Taiwan,  If the girl doesn¡¯t like it, Ding Yunyi will personally send her back!¡±

    Gu Hengbo immediately understood what Ding Yunyi was thinking. He had been deceived by this man. He was afraid that he had already made up his mind to "abduct" Liu Rushi to Taiwan when he first saw Liu Rushi.

    Gu Hengbo would never have thought that she still underestimated Ding Yunyi. When she entered Hangzhou, her man was already thinking about how to get Liu Rushi to Taiwan.

    Although he could see through his man¡¯s thoughts, all the good sisters went to Taiwan and left Liu Rushi here alone without any relatives. Gu Hengbo couldn¡¯t bear it and whispered:

    ¡°It¡¯s my brother, why not go to Taiwan too? It¡¯s much better for everyone to take care of each other than for you to stay here alone.¡±

    Liu Rushi was a forthright woman. After hearing these words, she no longer hesitated: "I'm afraid it will disturb Lord Ding."

    When Ding Yunyi heard that she agreed, he was overjoyed, but his face was serious: "What are you talking about? It's an honor for me that the girl is willing to go to Taiwan. Ding Yunyi doesn't dare to neglect the girl."

    Gu Hengbo rolled his eyes at Ding Yunyi.

    ¡°The first one was me, then Wang Yue and Li Xiangjun, and now it¡¯s Liu Rushi¡¯s turn. According to what he does as a man, I think he can do whatever he wants as long as he comes to Taiwan.
