On the official road ten miles southeast of Hefei City, more than a dozen men in strong clothes who were speeding suddenly stopped and looked at the tall and straight figure blocking the center of the road without saying a word.

Their movements are uniform, and the number of people in the team is small, but they exude a solemn atmosphere, giving people an invisible sense of oppression.

One of the people in the team was tall and thin, with a high crown on his head, and he stood out from the crowd, with an ancient face and hidden eyes, giving people a shrewd and cold impression.

"The Grand Steward is finally here." Long Tao in the center of the road said calmly.

After the Du Fuwei uprising, he never claimed to be the king and hegemon, but only appointed himself as a general and the head of Liyang.

"It will take some time to gather the soldiers and horses." A smile squeezed out of Du Fuwei's old-fashioned face, "Let the king wait for a long time." ”

"Haha, with the words of the chief manager, this king finally didn't wait in vain!"

Long Tao took a step forward, stretched out his right hand, and held it in front of his chest.

Du Fuwei stepped out of the crowd, also stretched out his right hand, clasped it with him, and asked with a smile: "What position is the king going to arrange for the old man?" ”

"How is the governor of Jingzhou? In the future, I will ask Du Lao to guard Xiangyang for me. ”

Du Fuwei's eyes flashed, "With such a heavy land, can the king rest assured that he will hand it over to the old man?" ”

Long Tao laughed and said: "This king believes in the character of the manager, and he believes in his own vision!" ”

Du Fuwei frowned slightly, "As far as the old man knows, there seems to be the support of the Yin Sect behind Xiangyang Qian Duguan. ”

Long Tao smiled and said: "It is precisely because it is the territory of the Demon Gate that it is easier for this king to take it, otherwise, how does the chief manager think that this king knows that Fu Gongyou is going to harm you?" ”

Du Fuwei showed a knowing smile, and then his face turned cold, "This shameless villain, since he had a close relationship with the 'Meridian Sword' Zuo Youxian, I knew that he was plotting against him!" ”

"Looks like the manager has everything in place." Long Tao glanced at the dozen or so attendants behind him.

Du Fuwei said coldly: "Fu Gongyou has no prestige in the army, there are my people in Hefei City, as long as you control the city gate, you can let the 10,000 troops behind you easily enter the city, and it is more than enough to control this city, hum!" The people of the Demon Gate dare to beat me Du Fuwei's idea, I will definitely make it difficult for them to fly this time! ”

"Plan and then act, the manager is really spicy!" Long Tao said happily: "A few thieves from the Demon Gate will be handed over to this king, and Du Lao can just go and clear the remaining party of Fugong You." ”

The raid was launched in the middle of the night.

The Jianghuai army was all built under Du Fuwei's iron-fisted methods, and the sergeants of the army were in awe of him, and when they saw him appear in the city, they naturally obeyed his orders, only a few of Fu Gongyou's cronies were still stubborn and unyielding, and they were quickly suppressed.

Long Tao personally went to deal with a few demon masters.

Among the eight masters of the evil sect, there are Rong Fengxiang, Zuo Youxian, and An Long who came to the city this time.

These four people have profound skills, and Long Tao naturally refuses to let go easily.

An Long and Fu Gongyou were at odds, and this time he came mainly to grab Rong Fengxiang's position as the head president, so he hid alone in one place and did not mix with the other three demons.

Long Tao first easily solved An Long, and then touched the city lord's mansion, taking advantage of the siege of Du Fuwei's troops, to raid Rong Fengxiang, Zuo Youxian, and Fu Gongyou, who were together.

Although the three of them were more difficult to clean up than An Long, they did not cause much trouble to Long Tao, especially because he felt that Rong Fengxiang's strength was about the same as that of Fu Gongyou, and he was not worthy of his ranking above Zuo Youxian at all.

Later, after Rong Jiaojiao identified it, she realized that this Rong Fengxiang was dressed by Lao Junguan's Kefeng Demon Dao, and it was not a real dust at all!

Long Tao recalled the original work, remembering that Rong Fengxiang, a traitor, really likes to make a stand-in, and in the original plot, when Kou Zhong and others assassinated him, they mistakenly hit his stand-in.

However, the skills of the four demon masters are quite profound, plus the Yin Sect masters such as Wen Caiting and Bian Buyi that he absorbed before, Long Tao felt that his spiritual power had increased greatly, and the "chaotic body" near the Jizhong acupoint, which was originally only the size of a copper coin, expanded outward.

The spirit body is all discovered by his own exploration, he has no clue about how to cultivate, and he has no predecessors' exercises to learn from.

Fortunately, he also has the Xinghai Wuji Technique, this set of anti-heaven magic tricks can be run on the spirit body, Long Tao uses the Xinghai Wuji Technique to control the gathering and scattering points of spiritual power, and then carry out the integration of spirit and flesh, he can roughly control the transformation direction of the "chaotic body".

Right now, under his deliberate control, the "Chaos Body" starts from the middle acupoint and "grows" to the left chest first, and he has to completely transform his heart first, and then even if his chest is blown apart, he will not die.

A small heart, the power that needs to be absorbed will also be very huge, Long Tao thought of the "Evil Emperor Relic", which stores the essence of more than ten generations of sect masters of the Evil Extreme Sect, which is definitely a great supplement.

When he has some free time, he will go to Yang Gong's treasure house again and absorb the essence in the Evil Emperor's relic.

Long Tao is not in a hurry, after all, in this world of "Datang", no one can threaten his heart.

After the First Battle of Hefei, Du Fuwei wiped out the rebels, and then led the Jianghuai army to surrender to Longtao.

When the news came out, the world shook!

The addition of the Jianghuai Army completely connected the vast area of land from Nanjun in the west to the sea in the east, and the north bank of the Yangtze River and the entire Huaishui River basin were all under the command of Long Tao.

In terms of territory alone, the Divine Sword Army has become one of the largest forces in the world!

Du Fuwei has been crisscrossing the Jianghuai River for many years, and has a huge influence in the martial arts and rivers and lakes, as soon as he surrendered, many small mountain forces have been attached, and the strength of the Divine Sword Army immediately increased greatly.

Generally speaking, the forces south of the Yangtze River mostly strengthened their defenses to prevent the Divine Sword Army from invading south, while the big forces in the north stepped up the pace of mergers and expansions, and tried their best to increase their strength before the Divine Sword Army went north.

Du Fuwei returned to Jiangdu with Long Tao, preparing to merge the Jianghuai Army into the Shendao Army, and also handed over the various cities that originally belonged to the territory of the Jianghuai Army, changed the defense, reappointed the guards, and so on.

These complicated tasks were naturally handed over to Xu Xingzhi, Wei Zheng and others to deal with, and Long Tao began to prepare for the trip to Songjiashan City in Lingnan.

When it was not yet decided whether to take the land route or the sea route, on this day, the guards came to report that Princess Shan Wanjing of Dongming personally transported a large number of weapons and equipment ordered by the Shendao Army, and the fleet had arrived at the Jiangdu wharf.

Long Tao was overjoyed and hurriedly went out of the city to greet him.

On the deck of the iconic giant ship "Piaoxiang" of the Dongming faction, Long Tao saw Shan Wanjing, who had not been seen for a long time.

is still the familiar graceful figure, dressed in a strong outfit, revealing the coveted pair of long legs, showing off his eyebrows and sideburns, and looking at him with smart phoenix eyes with affection...... Shan Wanjing's expression was obviously much kinder, and there was even a little longing for his pity in her eyes.

Long Tao walked to the distance in front of her and grabbed a pair of her jade hands.

Shan Wanjing struggled slightly, but didn't break away, just let him hold it, and hung her head with a flushed face.

Seeing that the arrogant Princess Dongming showed such a touching and shy appearance, Long Tao was happy in his heart and asked in a low voice, "Does Wanjing miss me?" ”

Shan Wanjing's body shook slightly, raised her head and glanced at him, finally withdrew her jade hand, turned to look at the wide river outside the boat, and said with a slight disgust: "Bad guy, as soon as we meet, I only know how to be light and thin!" ”

Then he turned his anger into joy, looked sideways at Long Tao, showed his white teeth, and said with a smile: "Congratulations first!" The King of the Divine Sword shows his strength, the world is afraid, and everyone in the rivers and seas has to look at your face to live! ”

Long Tao shook his head and smiled: "Wanjing, don't laugh at me, I, the king, still have to rely on your support!" Thank you Wanjing for sending the weapon in person! ”

Shan Wanjing brushed her hair that was blown by the river breeze, and said with a smile: "Why should the king be polite, this is originally an agreed business." ”

Long Tao stared at her beautiful side face and said in a deep voice: "Wanjing, I have killed Bian Buying." ”

Shan Wanjing's delicate body trembled, grabbed the railing on the side of the boat with both hands, looked at the river, and was silent for a long time.
