The five-story five-tooth giant ship, which is more than 100 feet high, broke through the waves and sailed into the newly expanded wharf in Jiangdu.

Long Tao got down from the giant ship, followed by Bu Tianzhi, Chen Laomou, Yun Yuzhen, Xie Yujing and others.

After taking Zhuya, he stayed there for five days, in addition to discussing the specific details of future cooperation with Song Zhi, more time was to inspect the five county towns on the island with the slang leaders who stayed in Zhuya, and familiarize himself with the local environment and folk customs.

Subsequently, the army returned, and Shan Wanjing returned to Ryukyu halfway.

By capturing Zhuya County, their Dongming faction has one less huge threat on the sea, and with their close relationship with Long Tao, they will definitely be able to develop better in the future.

This matter is related to the future of the entire Ryukyu Island, and Shan Wanjing naturally has to go back to the faction first, report this important news to Shan Meixian and the elders, and then discuss the future plan.

Long Tao's fleet continued northward and returned to Jiangdu.

It took more than half a month to go back and forth, and Jiangdu City is still under construction in full swing, and many places have a new feeling.

The group didn't go far after entering the city gate, and Dong Shuni flew towards them.

"Brother Kuan, Manager Du is injured!"

……

In the City Lord's Mansion, Long Tao left Du Fuwei's shoulders with his hands and let out a long breath.

Du Fuwei's face turned red for a while, he opened his eyes, his essence flashed, he got up from the chair, turned to Long Tao and bowed, "Thank you, King!" The king's skills are profound, which is amazing, and his subordinates are completely well. ”

In addition to the group of people who returned with Long Tao in the hall, there were also several important leaders of the Divine Sword Army, such as Xu Xingzhi, Wei Zheng, Sima Dejiao, Zhao Xingshu, Rong Jiaojiao, Dong Shuni, and You Qiuyan.

"Who did it?" Long Tao's gaze slowly swept over the people in the hall and asked in a deep voice.

Rong Jiaojiao replied: "It is the people of the Demon Gate, led by Yang Xuyan, Wan Wan and Rong Fengxiang, who infiltrated Jiangdu with the purpose of assassinating several leaders of our Divine Sword Army. ”

Du Fuwei nodded and said: "Yes, it was Yang Xuyan who hurt me, although he covered his head and face, but this kid assassinated me once before, I recognize his moves!" ”

The way of hypocrisy: "This time, thanks to Chief Du's vigilance, he was the first to discover the enemy, and he was also to protect his subordinates and Wei Shangshu, so he was attacked by Yang Xuyan." ”

Du Fuwei smiled: "Actually, this time it is thanks to Miss Jiaojiao, if she hadn't resisted Wanwan alone, I'm afraid that we would have more casualties." ”

Rong Jiaojiao herself is very good in martial arts, after this period of time and Long Tao's double cultivation, her skills have increased greatly, plus she is the head of both the Demon Gate and the Ming Dynasty, and her strength is estimated to be no longer under Wan Wan.

"Jiaojiao is doing a great job!" Long Tao approvingly.

Rong Jiaojiao said with a smile: "Jiaojiao can make great progress in her skills, and it's not all thanks to the help of the king. Then he frowned and said: "It seems that the Demon Gate has united in order to deal with the king, but unfortunately all the masters who came this time were masters, and Jiaojiao couldn't leave them alone." ”

Du Fuwei said: "You alone block Wanwan, it's already commendable!" ”

Sima Dejiao bowed and said: "This time, it is a dereliction of duty for the last general to let the people of the Demon Gate easily enter and exit Jiangdu, please condemn the king!" ”

"General Sima doesn't have to blame himself, all the masters who came this time are masters of the Demon Gate, it is indeed difficult to prevent, and it has nothing to do with the general!" Long Tao waved his hand, and then said in a deep voice: "If there is a mistake, it is also the fault of this king." I was too careless with the people in the Demon Gate, I thought that after warning Zhu Yuyan, she would be reined in, it seems that they are really used to being overbearing, and they can't stand a little deterrence. ”

Du Fuwei sneered: "The people of the Demon Gate have always paid attention to revenge, and they will do whatever it takes, the king killed An Long, Zuo Youxian and the younger brother Kefeng who broke the dust in Hefei last time, and he has already formed a mortal enmity with the Demon Gate, if they are not eradicated, I am afraid that they will still be entangled in the future." ”

"What the chief manager said is very true!" Long Tao turned his head to look at Rong Jiaojiao and said, "Jiaojiao, explain all the specific information you know about the strongholds of the various factions of the Demon Sect in various places, the leaders of various sizes, etc., in detail. ”

and turned to the way of hypocrisy: "According to Jiaojiao's intelligence, arrange the army to hunt down and clear the demon gate demons, from today on, the demon gate is the enemy of our Divine Sword Army, I want our Divine Sword Army to leave no one on the territory of the Demon Gate!" ”

Bow down and receive the order of the void.

Rong Jiaojiao said: "I will tell the Void Military Master everything I know, but after all, I am not a real person from the Demon Gate, and the information may not be comprehensive, in this regard, Qing'er should be more detailed than I know." ”

"That's right, I'm about to go to Qing'er." Long Tao's eyes suddenly became cold, "Since Zhu Yuyan is so ignorant, then I don't have to be polite to her!" General Manager Du ordered the troops and horses of the headquarters, and we set off immediately to take Xiangyang! ”

……

The warship crossed Jiangxia and turned north into the Han River, where Long Tao and Du Fuwei looked out on the deck at the rolling hills on both sides.

"Does the chief know why I'm in a hurry to take Xiangyang?"

Du Fuwei smiled: "Isn't it meant to be in Luoyang? After the king obtained the support of the Song family, the overall situation in the south has been decided, and if Luoyang is obtained again, the rest of the heroes will only be able to wait to be killed! ”

Long Tao nodded and said: "On the surface, this is indeed the case, and after we go to Xiangyang, we will also put on the appearance of attacking Zhu Cang in the north, but the real target is Hanzhong." ”

Du Fuwei was puzzled: "Hanzhong? ”

Long Tao said in a low voice: "I have a way to take Chang'an directly." Suddenly, he remembered something and asked, "Has Lord Li's army been out of the customs?" ”

Du Fuwei frowned and said, "Why did Li Valve want to go out?" ”

Long Tao was stunned, could it be that Song Que's news was wrong.

"Didn't Li Valve gather an army in Guanzhong some time ago?"

Du Fuwei sneered: "Li Valve did have the intention of going out of the customs at the beginning, but later Jincheng Xue Ju established himself as the emperor, known as the overlord of Western Qin, and the army invaded Li Valve's territory. Li Shimin was seriously injured due to a surprise attack by Song Jingang, and Li Yuan sent Liu Wenjing to lead his troops to the battle, but was defeated by Xue Ju in Qianshuiyuan. Li Valve is too busy to take care of himself now, how can he have the heart to get out? ”

Long Tao's heart turned out to be like this, and at the same time remembered that there was indeed such a paragraph in the original plot, and later Li Yuan sent Li Shimin to go on an expedition, and it seemed that he still relied on Yang Xuyan to assassinate Xue Ju, and finally defeated the Western Qin army.

However, Yang Xuyan, this kid, came to Jiangdu not long ago to assassinate the general of the Divine Sword Army...... From this point of view, Xue Ju should be alive and well, so Li Shimin will really find it difficult to get out for a while.

I only heard Du Fuwei ask in a low voice: "What does the king mean when he says that he can easily take Chang'an?" ”

Long Tao explained a little about Yang Gong's treasure house, and Du Fuwei was greatly moved when he heard it, and an irrepressible look of excitement shot out of his eyes.

"With Xue Ju holding Li in check, we should still have enough time to prepare." Long Tao muttered: "After we take Xiangyang, the general manager will recruit troops and horses, and put on the appearance of going north, in fact, he will secretly take Hanzhong, and then I will secretly transfer the Praetorian Guards to Xiangyang, they are originally Xiaoguo troops who are home in Guanzhong, and they are responsible for capturing Chang'an, and they will definitely succeed!" ”

Du Fuwei smiled and said: "Zhou Xiang considered by the king, the old man admires!" ”

At this moment, a small boat approached the warship.

Long Tao fixed his eyes and saw that it was Zheng Shuming standing on the bow of the boat.

When the two ships were less than five feet apart, Zheng Shuming rose up, jumped onto the warship, and landed beside the two.

"Brother Kuan, Qing'er asked me to send a message to you, the various factions of the Demon Sect are preparing to meet in Xiangyang to discuss the plan to join forces to deal with your Divine Sword Army."

"Oh?" Long Tao smiled slightly, "We are just about to go to Xiangyang, how many days will they get together?" ”

"In two days."

Long Tao and Du Fuwei glanced at each other, and both of them showed a knowing smile.

"Shuming and I will take the first step, and Manager Du will see the opportunity to act in the back, it is rare that they can get together, this time we will do it once and for all!"
