Chapter 392: Peng Liang Hui
Early the next morning, Long Tao left Luoyang on the boat arranged by Rong Jiaojiao, first went east, and then turned into the Tongji Canal, preparing to go south along the canal and reach the south of the Yangtze River.
In the evening, the boat arrived at Liangdu, a large city next to the Tongji Canal, and Long Tao decided to enter the city to rest for the night, and by the way, he inquired about the situation nearby.
According to the original plot, after Kou Zhong helped Wang Shichong defeat Li Mi, he would establish his own young marshal army power by chance here.
Liangdu tightly chokes the main road to the south, and the strategic location is still very important, and Long Tao is also very interested in this place.
As soon as the boat docked at the wharf, there were immediately underworld gang figures coming up, probing the details and collecting tolls.
These trivial matters were naturally dealt with by the boat boss, and Long Tao disembarked from the boat and walked towards the city gate.
Behind him, the voice of the gang leader negotiating with the boat boss came: "Chen Jiafeng, the incense master of the Zhitang in Xia Pengliang, ......"
Long Tao remembered that when he played the son of a double cultivator, Peng Lianghui, who had a one-night relationship, was the third "beautiful lady" Ren Meimei, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile.
There were a few listless and lazy guards standing at the gate, ignoring the pedestrians entering and leaving the city, and a large banner with the word "Xu" written on it was crookedly placed on the gatehouse, indicating that this place should be under Xu Yuanlang's jurisdiction at the moment, but it was clear that his control over the city was just like the flag, crumbling.
The atmosphere in the city was depressing, and although there were many pedestrians, most of them were in a hurry, with no smile on their faces, and they looked like they were about to face a catastrophe.
Many shops on the street are erecting their doors and preparing to close, and only a few hotels and inns are still open, and business is cold.
Long Tao turned into a restaurant on the side of the street, and there were only two tables of customers inside.
After sitting down at a table by the window, he ordered a few side dishes and a pot of wine, and Long Tao poured himself a drink while waiting for someone.
When he was walking in the city just now, he deliberately summoned the dragon slayer knife and carried it on his shoulder, which had already attracted the attention of the gang figures, and the other party followed him until the outside of the restaurant, leaving two people to guard the opposite street.
There is only one big gang in this area, Peng Lianghui, but I don't know which leader the other party will bring back.
When the third cup was drunk, there was a sound of footsteps at the door, and a beautiful woman with a smoky eye and picturesque eyebrows walked in with five men of different appearances.
The beautiful woman's face was tense, and a pair of seductive eyes looked at Long Tao boldly.
"Hello three masters, I haven't seen you for a long time." Long Tao grinned.
This beauty is none other than Peng Lianghui's three masters, Ren Meimei.
"It's really you!" Ren Meimei's beautiful eyes lit up, and then she turned her head to the other two tables of guests in the hall and shouted: "Everyone, please make it convenient, I have something important to discuss with the Divine Sword King!" ”
As soon as the diners heard that it was the famous Divine Sword King and Peng Liang Huisan, they immediately took out the food money and put it on the table, got up and left.
The guy and the restaurant owner also avoided the back hall after collecting the wine money, and the five subordinates brought by Ren Meimei withdrew from the door, leaving only her and Long Tao in the lobby.
Ren Meimei moved her plump and delicate body full of youthful vitality in front of Long Tao, gave him a fierce look, and said coquettishly: "You are a well-fed and far-reaching negative man, didn't you call people charming before?" ”
Long Tao said with a smile: "After all, Mei Mei is the third master of the dignified Peng Liang Society, if I call you in public, aren't you afraid of losing your prestige?" ”
Ren Meimei smiled bitterly: "What are the three masters now, Peng Lianghui is over!" ”
"What's going on? With the strength of your gang, haven't they always been kings and hegemons in Pengcheng and Liangdu? ”
Ren Meimei sighed: "Today is different from the past, when the faint monarch was killed, we took down more than forty towns near Pengcheng and Liangdu in one fell swoop under the leadership of the Nie gang leader, I thought that we could dominate the land and make a difference, but I didn't know that it was defeated in the hands of Yu Wenhua and Xu Yuanlang, and the day before yesterday, even Pengcheng was broken by barbarians, and the Nie gang leader was seriously injured and died, and Peng Lianghui was already dead in name!" ”
Long Tao said in his heart, this is basically the same as the original plot, but he asked: "In the Central Plains, where are the barbarian thieves?" ”
Ren Meimei gritted her teeth and said: "It's not those god-damn Khitans yet!" They took advantage of the war in the Central Plains to collude with the scum of our Han people to form the East China Sea Alliance, which specialized in plundering coastal towns, and recently even raged inland. Brother Cave, the leader of the East China Sea Alliance, is the eldest son of the Khitan chieftain Mohui, who is good at using double axes, and his martial arts are really strong, and our gang leader and the second master are all folded in his hands! ”
Long Tao asked: "I see that Xu Yuanlang's flag is planted on the gate of Liangdu, does he let these barbarians run rampant?" ”
Ren Meimei pouted and smiled: "Xu Yuanlang is too busy to take care of himself now, recently Dou Jiande waved his army across the river and prepared to attack Rencheng, Xu Yuanlang hurriedly dispatched defenders from all over the country to meet the battle, Liang Du is now only a few hundred defenders, and the army is discouraged, I think they will soon evacuate." ”
Long Tao recalled the original plot, after Kou Xu and the others helped Wang Shichong defeat Li Mi, when they came to Liangdu, it had indeed become an empty city, and there were no defenders at all.
Looking at this situation, Liangdu will soon become a borderless city.
"Then why did Mei Mei appear here? Is it intentional about beams? ”
Ren Meimei glanced at him and said: "How can this girl have the leisure to take care of Liangdu's affairs, I am here, not to wait for you, a negative enemy!" Since the news came out in Luoyang that your Divine Sword King Yankuan is the son of Shuangxiu, people have been asking people to keep an eye on your whereabouts all over the canal, thinking that if you return to your Divine Sword Army base camp from Luoyang, most of you will have to go through the canal. ”
Long Tao smiled: "Why is Mei Mei waiting for me? ”
"What do you say?" Ren Meimei grabbed his shoulders with both hands, sat on his lap with her buttocks, and said angrily: "Do you know how bitter the people you hurt are?" Ever since the night I got along with you, I haven't thought about any other man in my heart! Now that Peng Lianghui is gone, people are desperate, you ruthless man still ask this kind of thing, is it really ruthless and unwilling to take people in? ”
She was dressed boldly and revealingly, and after she sat down, the snow-white peaks and ravines immediately appeared under Long Tao's nose, which was very attractive.
Long Tao couldn't hold it back, reached over, and stroked it hard.
Ren Meimei groaned, her eyes were like silk, she caressed his cheeks with both hands, and said lovingly: "Compared with that little white face, Meimei is more pleased with your majestic appearance now!" ”
Long Tao caressed her for a while before asking: "If Mei Mei is willing to follow me, I will naturally not treat you badly, but Liang Du is such an important town, it's a pity not to take it, how many people are still here in your Peng Liang Society?" ”
Ren Meimei frowned and said: "If we are all gathered, there should be more than three thousand people, but most of them are ordinary gangsters, and there are at most three or five hundred people who can really go to the battlefield to fight, otherwise we will not be killed by a group of barbarian thieves." ”
Long Tao said indifferently: "This kind of robbing thieves everywhere is not terrible, as long as the thief head is killed, the remaining thieves will definitely scatter." ”
Ren Meimei smiled and said: "Indeed, if you are led by your Divine Sword King, those Khitan thieves can only become ghosts under your sword!" Then his eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "After Xu Yuanlang's people leave, we will hype that your Divine Sword King is going to take over this place, at that time, with the name of benevolence and righteousness of your Divine Sword Army, we can not only calm the hearts of the people in the city, but also attract nearby heroes to come and follow, and it will be easier to deal with the East China Sea Alliance at that time!" ”
Long Tao thought that Brother Cave's East China Sea Alliance was just a rabble, and there was nothing to be afraid of, according to the original plot, Yu Wenhua and the idea of fighting here later, personally led an army of 20,000 to come, for Liang Du, who had no soldiers and no danger, that was the biggest threat.
However, there is no need to disclose this matter to Ren Meimei now.
Long Tao said with a smile: "Okay, then please Mei Mei gather your Pengliang Society as soon as possible, we can't wait here for Brother Cave to attack, but take the initiative to attack, snatch the war horse equipment and their thieves from those thieves, first, we can strengthen our own strength, and second, we can also establish a prestige, so that the people in this area have more confidence in us!" ”
Ren Meimei kissed him on the cheek and said happily: "I'm going to gather people for Brother Kuan, after the matter is completed, you have to reward people well!" ”
