Long Tao abandoned the boat and landed, and together with Yun Yuzhen and Ma San, he quickly whipped up and went straight to Jiangyin.

When he arrived in Jiangyin, it was already dusk, Long Tao reported his name, and the disciples of the Zhuhua Gang guarding the door heard the arrival of the deputy gang leader, and hurriedly rushed to the chief helm to report.

Another disciple accompanied Long Tao and the three of them and slowly walked towards the city.

Everywhere in the city, you can see the small bridges of water lanes, the houses near the river and the water, the pink walls are illuminated, and the windows reflect the waves, which is a fresh scene of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River.

The predecessor of the Zhuhua Gang Helm is the Governor's Mansion of Jiangyin, which is located at the intersection of the river in the center of the city, and there is a cross-river bridge at the main gate, which makes the helm more imposing.

After crossing the bridge, a handsome-looking young man greeted him, clenched his fists and bowed, "Mai Yunfei has seen the deputy gang leader." ”

Long Tao remembered that he was Shao Lingzhou's eldest disciple, nodded, and said, "Lord Mai Xiang doesn't need to be polite, isn't Master Shao here?" ”

Mai Yunfei replied: "The military advisor and several hall masters went to the dock to greet the distinguished guests, and they are not at the helm at the moment. ”

"Can the helper be inside? Take me to him. Long Tao commanded.

Mai Yunfei's face changed for a while, and he said, "The helper can't afford to be seriously injured, so it's not suitable to see guests." ”

Long Tao stared at him and asked, "The last time I left, the gang leader's injuries had already calmed down, why did they suddenly get worse again?" ”

Mai Yunfei's eyes dodged, and he said, "This subordinate doesn't know either." ”

Long Tao waved his hand and said, "Okay, lead the way ahead." ”

Mai Yunfei dodged in front of him, bowed down and said: "Forgive me, Deputy Gang Leader, Shao Junshi had an order before leaving, ordering Yun Fei to guard the main rudder and not let anyone approach the gang leader......

"This deputy gang leader is back, so Lord Mai Xiang doesn't have to stay here." Long Tao interrupted him coldly and strode in.

Long Tao saw the dying Yin Kaishan on a bed in the inner hall, and there was a long and charming beauty beside the bed, holding Yin Kaishan's hand and crying with pear blossoms and rain.

This woman was the most popular aunt Yuling in Yangzhou Tianxian Tower back then, and Yin Kaishan was seriously injured by the Praetorian Guards because he was unwilling to hand her over to Yang Guang.

"Deputy Helper." After Yuling saw Long Tao, she got up and saluted slightly.

"How did this happen?" Long Tao came to the side of the bed, stared at Yin Kaishan's blue and black face and asked.

Yuling cried and said: "It was fine, but half a month ago, the injury suddenly worsened, and Shao Junshi even invited several famous doctors, but they were all helpless. ”

Long Tao grabbed Yin Kaishan's wrist, and after investigating, he said, "Sure enough, the helper is poisoned!" ”

"Poisoned?" Yuling was taken aback, "How can you be poisoned?" ”

Long Tao smiled coldly, "If what I expected is correct, even if the person who poisoned him is not Shao Lingzhou, he must have a lot to do with him." Sister Yuling went to the side to rest and asked me to detoxify the helper. ”

Half an hour later, more than 20 horses galloped across the bridge like a whirlwind, and rushed straight into the rudder gate of the Zhuhua Gang, led by the military advisor Shao Lingzhou and the hall master of the four halls of "wind, sunshine, rain and dew".

More than 20 people kicked off the horse in the courtyard, Mai Yun rushed to Shao Lingzhou's side and whispered a few words, Shao Lingzhou's face changed several times, and led everyone to the meeting hall.

At the north end of the hall, two rows of Taishi chairs were arranged, and at this time, there were two people sitting in the west row, the first one was Yuling, and the one behind her was Long Tao.

When Shao Lingzhou saw Long Tao, his eyes immediately lit up, and he stared at him tightly, as if he wanted to see through his mystery.

The four hall masters were overjoyed and stepped forward one after another.

"Deputy Gang Leader!"

"When did the deputy gang leader come back?"

After Long Tao responded a few words, he glanced at Shao Lingyi coldly, and then stared at a young girl in the crowd behind him, and said with a smile: "Your guest is coming, won't Master Shao introduce me to you?" ”

This girl doesn't seem to be stunning at first glance, or because her silhouette gives people a little masculine taste, but her skin is snow-white and revealing a healthy pink, her temperament is noble and elegant, her legs are long and her waist is thin, her body is long, and she is not short when she stands in the middle of a group of big men, her eyes are bright, and she looks forward to radiance, these characteristics are blended together, so that she has a different charm, which is not inferior to Yun Yuzhen, Shen Luoyan and other women.

Long Tao thought to himself, this cool and tough beauty should be Song Yuzhi.

Sure enough, I only heard Shao Lingzhou introduce: "These are all distinguished guests of the Lingnan Song family, and this is Miss Yuzhi, the pearl of the Heavenly Sword Song Lord." But he didn't introduce Long Tao to the people of the Song family.

Long Tao stood up and saluted, "Hello Miss Song!" In the lower bamboo flower gang deputy gang leader Yan Kuan, today to see the face, it is really a blessing for three lives! ”

Song Yuzhi was slightly stunned, and saluted: "It's good to say that the deputy helper!" Yuzhi has never known that there is a deputy gang leader in your gang, please forgive me for the rudeness! Then introduce Song Shuang and other Song family masters behind her.

Long Tao introduced them to the first Mrs. Yuling.

After the two sides exchanged greetings, the people of the Song family sat down in the east row, and Long Tao asked, "I heard that Miss Song is here to discuss cooperation with the gang, right?" ”

Song Yuzhi glanced at Shao Lingzhou and said, "Cooperation has not yet been discussed, Yuzhi is here to deal with the Iron Cavalry with your gang at the invitation of Shao Junshi." ”

Shao Lingzhou glanced at Long Tao coldly, brushing his long beard with a smug face.

Long Tao said with a smile: "Yan has thanked Miss Song for her kindness!" The Iron Riders are just a group of clowns jumping off the beam, so there is nothing to be afraid of, I wonder if Miss Song is interested in greater cooperation? ”

Song Yuzhi still couldn't figure out Long Tao's identity and who was in charge here, so he couldn't help but glance at Shao Lingzhou again, and hesitated: "Greater cooperation?" What kind of helper does the deputy helper refer to? ”

Before Long Tao could answer, Shao Lingzhou suddenly laughed and said: "Miss Song may not know, this deputy gang leader joined our gang after the Yin gang leader was seriously injured, the time to join the gang is still short, the identity is suspicious, and I don't know much about the help, Miss Song might as well go to the guest room to rest first, and I will talk to you in detail later." ”

Yuling asked coldly, "Master Shao, why is the identity of Deputy Gang Leader Yan suspicious?" ”

The four hall masters couldn't help but stare at Shao Lingzhou together, they all saw Yin Kaishan seal Long Tao as the deputy gang leader, Shao Lingzhou's mouth had completely lost contact with Long Tao suddenly returned, which had made them suspicious, but now the Bamboo Flower Gang is facing the strong enemy of the Iron Cavalry Club, thanks to Shao Lingzhou catching up with the Song Valve, there is a possibility of confrontation, so even if they are suspicious of Shao Lingzhou, they will not bear it for the time being.

Shao Lingzhou's eyes rolled, his face sank, and said: "The iron cavalry will attack at any time, and the helper is seriously injured, Mrs. Yuling should take care of the helper with peace of mind, how can there be leisure and talk about the deputy helper drinking tea here?" ”

This remark obviously alludes to the unclear relationship between Long Tao and Yuling, not only avoiding answering Yuling's questions, but also wanting to slander the two and divert everyone's attention elsewhere.

"Haha......"

Long Tao couldn't help laughing, he really didn't want to wear out with this despicable villain anymore.

"Miss Song." Long Tao's bright eyes looked deep into Song Yuzhi's beautiful eyes, "Is your partner our Bamboo Flower Gang or this Shao Junshi?" ”

Song Yuzhi frowned at him and replied, "Naturally, we want to cooperate with the Bamboo Flower Gang, but Shao Junshi is also a distinguished guest of my Song family, and we are also ......invited by him."

"Got it down!"

Long Tao raised his hand to interrupt her, followed by a dodge in front of Shao Lingzhou, and slapped his palm on the chest.

"Click!"

The sound of bones shattering came out, and Shao Lingzhou flew out with blood spraying blood, and fell heavily to the door three zhang away, motionless.

There was a dead silence in the hall.

It happened so suddenly!

Everyone was stunned for a long time before they were awakened by Long Tao's voice.

"Now you don't have to bother."

Song Yuzhi stood up, stared at Long Tao fiercely, and said coldly: "What does Your Excellency mean by this?" It's too overbearing! ”

Two of the four hall masters rushed over to check Shao Lingzhou's life and death, while the other two stared at Long Tao, at a loss for a moment.

Song Shuang slapped the table and shouted: "Yuzhi has already said that Shao Junshi is a distinguished guest of my Song family, does the deputy gang leader not take my Song family in his eyes?" ”

Long Tao looked at the angry Song Yuzhi and said with a smile: "I just value Miss Song too much, so I don't want to listen to this villain's noise anymore, so as not to affect our close cooperation." ”

Song Yu said angrily: "Who will work closely with you? ”

Long Tao smiled: "Miss Song, don't say it too early. ”

At this time, Shen Beichang, the hall master of the Wind Bamboo Hall, walked over from Shao Lingzhou's corpse, his face sank like water, stared at Long Tao and asked, "Why did the deputy gang leader kill Shao Junshi, please give a reasonable explanation to his subordinates." ”

Long Tao said lightly: "This despicable villain secretly poisoned the gang leader in order to seize the position of the gang leader, do you think he deserves to die?" ”

Shen Beichang was stunned, and the other hall masters also gathered with shocked faces.

Yu Ling said in a coquettish voice: "This matter is true, fortunately, the deputy gang leader came back in time, and he has already expelled the poison for the gang leader and saved his life." ”

"Is that so?" Shen Beichang asked, "How is the helper now?" ”

Yuling said: "The helper has made great improvements, but he can't get out of bed for a while, just rest for a while." ”

The four hall masters and Song Yu confessed their guilt, and went inside to see Yin Kaishan together.

Yuling saluted Song Yu again: "Miss Song's distinguished guests are coming from afar, please forgive the slave family for not being well entertained, a few of you might as well rest for one night first, and tomorrow the master will be able to meet the guests." ”

Although the people of the Song family were quite angry that Long Tao killed Shao Lingzhou in front of them, in the final analysis, this was only a matter within the Bamboo Flower Gang, and it was inconvenient for them to interfere.

Song Yuzhi coldly glared at Long Tao, who was looking at her with a smile, and got up and followed Yuling.
