Since Yang Guang was killed, Jiangdu City has experienced repeated wars and has not recovered.

After the Divine Sword Army occupied the city, it attracted a large number of refugees from the nearby area who fled the war to the city because of its benevolence and righteousness.

According to Long Tao's intentions, Yang Guang demolished several palaces built around the city, and used all the earth, wood, bricks and stones to repair people's houses, expand the wharf, and regulate the streets.

When Long Tao came back with Pei Xingyan and other three hundred horses, there was a lot of construction in Jiangdu City, and the reconstruction work was in full swing, and the flow of people in the city was more than double that before, everyone was happily busy, and the whole city exuded an unprecedented vitality.

Outside the majestic city lord's mansion, two delicate and touching young girls were waiting in front of the door, it was Rong Jiaojiao and Dong Shuni's two daughters.

"Brother Kuan, I have important news to tell you!" Rong Jiaojiao hurried to catch up.

"Let's go inside." Long Tao nodded and led the way into the door.

There were only three people left in the room, Dong Shuni served tea to Long Tao, and Rong Jiaojiao said with a solemn face: "Brother Kuan, the Demon Gate may be plotting against you!" ”

Long Tao took a sip of tea and motioned for her to continue.

"Rong Fengxiang will hold a meeting of the Baiye Society in Hefei five days later, he is now the head of the Northern Baiye Society, and the purpose of this time is to draw the various businesses and businesses in Jiangbei to his command, for this reason, he specially asked me to help him."

Long Tao remembered that there was indeed such a scene of the Hundred Industries Conference in the original plot, but it was disturbed by Kou Xu and the others.

I only heard Rong Jiaojiao continue: "But according to the information provided by my eyeliner, the purpose of Rong Fengxiang's trip to Hefei this time, the Baiye Conference is secondary, and more importantly, it is to gather with many demons in the two factions and six realms of the Demon Gate, many of which are old demons who have not shown up for many years, and the people in the Demon Gate are selfish, and there are few different factions that can unite and cooperate, this time they got together, Jiaojiao guessed, it is likely to be for Brother Kuan!" ”

Long Tao frowned and asked, "The meaning of Jiaojiao's first sentence is to say the news of their party, does Rong Fengxiang even hide it from you?" You've been following me for so long, have the people in the Demon Gate become suspicious? ”

Rong Jiaojiao groaned: "There is a possibility of suspicion, but my real identity is a person respected by the Ming Dynasty, and it is more of a cooperative relationship with the Middle Earth Demon Sect, and it is reasonable for them to hide some things from me." Then he asked worriedly: "Has Brother Kuan had any conflicts with the Demon Gate recently?" These demons only huddle together like this when they feel threatened. ”

Long Tao said: "I did kill some people, but they are all from the Yin Sect, do they have a share of the Yin Sect in this gathering?" ”

Rong Jiaojiao frowned and said, "It doesn't seem to be their people." ”

Long Tao asked: "Hefei should belong to the territory of the Jianghuai Army, who is in charge now?" ”

Dong Shuni replied: "It should be Fu Gongyou, he just transferred from Liyang to Hefei a few days ago. ”

Long Tao smiled: "How could Shani know so clearly? ”

Dong Shuni replied obediently: "People also want to help Brother Kuan do something!" Since Sister Luo Yan went to Liangdu, Shuni has replaced her to help General Luo Qifei deal with some intelligence work. ”

"Shirley is so good!" Long Tao pulled her to sit on his lap, kissed her, and then said in an affirmative tone: "Fu Gongyou finally can't wait, the demon gate should be dealing with Du Fuwei!" It's a pity that Lao Duruo died in such a daze, I'm going to Liyang to see if I can bring him over! ”

……

After passing Danyang, on the official road to Liyang, Long Tao met Kou Xu and the others.

The two boys were ragged and unkempt, like savages who had just come out of the mountains, and a baby in swaddling clothes hung on Xu Ziling's chest, crying twice from time to time.

Long Tao intercepted the two of them to a tea shed on the side of the road and sat down, looked at their still somewhat dull and wooden eyes, sighed, stared at the baby in Xu Ziling's arms, and asked, "Is that the child of Miss Susu?" I have been to Baling and have heard about you. ”

When the two of them heard Su Su's name, they were shocked, and a look of grief immediately appeared in their eyes.

Xu Ziling nodded, which can be regarded as a tacit acquiescence.

Long Tao asked again, "Where did you come from?" ”

Kou Zhong picked up the tea bowl, drank it all as if he was drinking, wiped the water stains on the side of his mouth, and replied: "We buried Sister Su in Xiaogu, where our mother was buried, and we have been with them for half a month, and we just came out of it. ”

Long Tao remembered that in the original plot, Fu Junwu was in this area, and in order to save the two of them, she fought to the death with Yu Wenhua and Li.

"Yu culture and time are running out." Long Tao said lightly: "He was defeated by me in Liangdu, and now he has to shrink to Wei County and wait for death." ”

Hearing Yu Wenhua's name, the eyes of the two of them swelled with deep hatred, and their eyes became fierce.

Seeing that they had finally recovered a little bit of their anger, Long Tao felt a little relieved, and continued to ask, "How did you two boys raise a baby for so many days?" ”

Xu Ziling's face swelled with infinite tenderness, looked at the baby in his arms, and said: "We caught a lactating female leopard and fed Ling Zhong with its milk. ”

"You two big men, with such a baby, it's not a way after all, have you thought about what to do in the future?"

Xu Ziling said bitterly: "I don't know, I really don't know!" I was supposed to avenge Sister Su, but when I thought that the bastard in Xiangyushan was Xiao Lingzhong's biological father, I relented and couldn't do it! ”

Kou Zhong patted him on the shoulder for comfort, his eyes regained his former shrewdness, looked at Long Tao and said solemnly: "Boss, thank you for not taking Yu Wenhua's life and leaving him to our brothers!" ”

He turned around and put his arms around Xu Ziling's shoulder, and said, "Ling Shao, let's send Xiao Lingzhong to the eldest lady, she will definitely take care of him, and then we will go to our good brother Liu Heimin, kill Yu Wenhuaji's hometown with him, and cut off his dog's head!" ”

The eldest lady in his mouth is Zhai Jiao, the daughter of Zhai Rang.

After Zhai Rang's death, Zhai Jiao moved to Hebei and started a business under the protection of Dou Jiande.

Dou Jiande has been expanding southward in recent years, Yu Wenhua and the first to bear the brunt, and Liu Heimin is the number one general under Dou Jiande.

Xu Ziling also perked up and nodded: "Yes, that's it!" ”

Kou Zhong asked, "Boss, why are you here?" ”

Long Tao groaned for a moment and said, "I was about to go to Du Fuwei and persuade him to surrender." ”

Xu Ziling frowned and said: "Jianghuai Jun is in today's situation because of Boss Yan, you want to persuade Daddy, but I'm afraid it's not easy." ”

Kou Zhong said with a smile: "What Ling Shao said is wrong, I know my father best, he is a hero who knows the current affairs, and he will never lose his way out because he has been repeatedly defeated by the boss, taking care of his face." Boss Yan, our brother has always owed you no favors, so let's be a lobbyist for you! ”

Long Tao was overjoyed, Kou Xu and Du Fuwei had a close relationship, especially Kou Zhong, Lao Du could be said to have really given birth to a father-son relationship with him, and the two of them persuaded him to surrender, of course, it was much stronger than Long Tao himself!

"That's great!" Long Tao said cheerfully: "No matter whether Lao Duken refuses to surrender, you all warn him for me, his brother Fu Gongyou is hooking up with the people in the Demon Gate to deal with him, you tell him that I will wait for him in Hefei for three days, if he is willing to surrender, go to Hefei to meet me, even if he is unwilling to surrender, I will kill Fu Gongyou for him." ”
