In August of the thirteenth year of the Great Cause, the Tang army broke through Huoyi, entered Longmen on the 15th, crossed the Yellow River in September, and threatened Guanzhong. In November, the army invaded Chang'an, and the army went all the way south, smooth sailing, as if God helped.

Yang Guang brought 300,000 Xiaoguo troops to Jiangdu, Chang'an's troops were extremely empty, and the only thing that could be counted on was the army of Song Laosheng and Qu Tutong, but after Song Laosheng was killed, Qu Tutong was defeated by the Tang army. Guanzhong could no longer resist the offensive of the Tang army. As soon as the army arrived at the city of Chang'an, the Guan Long family in the city opened the city gate and welcomed Li Yuan into the city.

In November, Li Yuan supported Yang Yu, the acting king, as the emperor, and took the Tang king, the prime minister, and the Shangshu order. Li Jiancheng is the prince of Tang, Li Shimin is the prince of Qin, Li Xuanba is the prince of Zhao, and Li Yuanji is the prince of Qi. The entire Guanzhong and Taiyuan are occupied by Li Valve.

After Gao Cheng entered Chang'an, when the situation was stable, he left Guanzhong and went to Jiangnan.

After knowing that Gao Cheng was looking for the secret of longevity was to treat Dou's injury, Li Yuan appointed Duan Zhixuan and Dou Wei as the generals of the Qi State Mansion, both of whom were first-class masters in the rivers and lakes, with the help of two people serving tea and water, collecting news, Gao Cheng had a lot less trouble.

"Third son, not far away, it is Pengcheng! It is the power of Pengliang Society, one of the Eight Gangs and Ten Guilds, and the big ship of the Dongming faction also stopped in Pengcheng at this time, it is said that Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling stole the account books of the Dongming faction and did not know where to go in the city!" Duan Zhixuan said in a deep voice the information he had just gotten.

Dou Wei was much older than Gao Cheng and Duan Zhixuan, but his personality was a little bursting, and he hurriedly said: "Since we have found the traces of Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, then what are we waiting for, go directly to Pengcheng to find these two boys and ask them to hand over the longevity formula!"

He is a son of the Dou family, and Li Yuan is an in-law, and he is also the elder of Gao Cheng's identity, so he can directly call Gao Cheng by his name. After knowing that Li Xuanba was looking for the secret of immortality in order to treat the Dou family, he volunteered to ask Li Yuan to make him the general of the Duke of Qi and follow Gao Cheng to help.

"Don't worry! Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling stole the account books of the Dongming faction, Mrs. Dongming must know the traces of these two boys, I heard that the eldest sister bought the weapons of the Dongming faction in Pengcheng not long ago, we went directly to the Dongming faction, and the people who followed the Dongming faction will definitely find those two boys!" Gao Cheng said.

Speaking of this world, it is really a bit weird, although the Great Sui occupies the world, but the eight gangs and ten guilds distributed in various places have strong financial resources and subordinates, just like the princes of one side, and the Dongming faction, a sect with a woman in power, but it is doing arms business among the princes of the world. The weapons and armor produced can arm tens of thousands of armies.

There is also Pegasus Ranch, located in Jingling County, there are tens of thousands of war horses, if Gao Cheng can get the family of Dongming faction and Pegasus Ranch, it won't be long before he can have an extra elite army and horses.

If Gao Cheng is Yang Guang, the first thing he will have to deal with after sitting on the throne is not the Guan Long family at all, but these gangs entrenched in various parts of the world. And then the Guanlong family divided and attacked, and slowly solved the hidden dangers of the Great Sui, but it is a pity that he was conceited and wise, three expeditions to Goryeo, digging the Grand Canal, abusing the people's power, and was unwilling to accept the reality after being hit, immersed in wine all day long, when he first succeeded to the throne, the ideal of wanting to achieve an unprecedented great cause has long disappeared.

After Gao Cheng spoke, Dou Wei and Duan Zhixuan stopped talking, and the three of them rode on horseback and trampled on the ice and snow of the road, wearing thick mink furs, and rushed towards Pengcheng.

......

Pengcheng, Cuibi Building.

Many horse-drawn carriages on the street stopped in front of this attic, which was richly decorated, faintly smiling from it, and the warm fragrance passed through the door to the door, attracting Pengcheng's son.

"Third son, this seems to be the Qinglou opened by Baling's gang! There is also a gambling house inside! Could it be that Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling are hiding here?" Duan Zhixuan frowned slightly.

After Gao Cheng and the three of them entered Pengcheng, they found Li Valve's eyes and ears here, and found the traces of the Dongming faction through these people, and now the Dongming faction sent people to search everywhere to find Kou Xu and the two. Gao Cheng and the three of them followed behind them, ready to be a fisherman.

However, to Duan Zhixuan and Dou Wei's surprise, the two women of the Dongming faction seemed to have gotten some news and entered Cuibi Building directly, without caring about their identity as women.

"The people from the Dongming faction have already entered, and those two boys must be there too, so let's hurry up and follow!" Dou Wei urged.

Gao Cheng recalled the memories in his mind, and it seemed that Kou Xu and the others were indeed in the gambling house of Cuibi Building after stealing the account books. In addition to the two of them, there are also the femme fatale Shen Luoyan of Wagangzhai, Xiangyushan of the Baling Gang, Jianghuai Du Fuwei, and Shan Meixian and Shan Wanjing hidden in the shadows.

These people are rare masters in the rivers and lakes, especially Shan Meixian, who is the daughter of Zhu Yuyan, the queen of the yin, and cultivates the Heavenly Demon Dafa. He is a grandmaster-level master on the rivers and lakes.

These people gathered here in order to get the secret of Yang Gong's treasure house from Kou Xu and the others. If Gao Cheng intervened, these forces would definitely not agree.

"Let's go in too!"

Gao Cheng said in a deep voice, even if he was the enemy of these masters, he was not afraid at all, so he directly took Dou Wei and Duan Zhixuan into Cuibi Building.

The Emerald Building covers a huge area, and after entering the gate, there is a spacious plaza in front of you, and many people are entering the main building, and these guests are followed by a beautiful maid.

After Gao Cheng and the three of them entered, a charming and lovely middle-aged beauty greeted them, and she saw that Gao Cheng and the three of them were extraordinary, especially Gao Cheng was wearing a mink fur, and there was a kind of lofty momentum on his body.

The woman who can become a guest in the Qinglou, this beautiful woman naturally has a very high eyesight, she immediately smiled and greeted her: "Welcome the three uncles to Cuibi Building, the concubine is Feng Niang." I don't know the names of the three masters?"

Dou Wei's eyes swept over this woman, ignoring the coquettish smile on her face, and quickly took a look at the appearance of many guests in the main building, and whispered in Gao Cheng's ear: "Xuanba, those two women are not here!"

Feng Niang was ignored by the three of them, this was the first time she had encountered this kind of thing, and she couldn't help but have a trace of embarrassment on her face, and her coquettish face was a little stiff.

Gao Cheng nodded, and then said in a deep voice: "Feng Niang, right, you lead the way in front, we are going to the gambling house!"

Feng Niang smiled coquettishly when she heard this, hiding the embarrassment in her heart, unconsciously obeying Gao Cheng's orders, leading the way in front, just took two steps and suddenly felt that something was wrong, she was the welcome director of Cuibi Building, not the little guy who led the way.

Why did this person unconsciously obey the orders of the big boss as if he had heard them? She was puzzled and wanted to turn around and leave, but after sensing the momentum on Gao Cheng's body, she suddenly felt a void in her heart, and she didn't dare to say anything if she refused.

The gambling house is located at the back of the main building, Feng Niang just walked in with the three of them, and saw a large number of guests running out of the gambling house, the nursing home of Cuibi Lou wanted to come forward to inquire about the situation, and immediately some guests shouted: "The people of Wagangzhai are in the gambling house, let us leave quickly!"
