The blue light gradually faded, and after a period of time and space changes, Long Tao slowly opened his eyes.

"Boss, are you awake?" A slightly shrill voice sounded outside the door, "I don't know what happened in the city today, there are many more officers and soldiers early in the morning, both inside and outside the city, and the customs inspection in and out of the city is many times stricter than before, as if they are tracking down something important." ”

Long Tao sat up from the bed and rubbed his head, a large memory welling up in his mind.

His name at the moment is Yan Kuan, and the boss of Yan in the mouths of Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling in "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" is also.

At this time, his identity was a small ruffian with a slight name in Yangzhou City, and there were twenty or thirty gangsters under him, including Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling.

A few days ago, Yan Kuan just worshipped the master of the Bamboo Flower Gang, Chang Ci as Grandpa, and he was about to take this opportunity to show his strength and continue to expand his power.

However, according to the original plot, Yan Kuan's fortune ended here, because Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling easily took away the "Recipe for Longevity", provoked Yu Culture and arrested the gangsters in the entire Yangzhou City for interrogation, and finally implicated Yan Kuan, and Kou and Xu slipped out of the city with "The Recipe for Longevity", and many gangsters such as Yan Kuan died because of this.

So many people died, and in the end, it was naturally counted on the head of Yang Guang, the faint king, because it was he who sent Yu Culture and came to Yangzhou to find the "Secret of Eternal Life", Yan Kuan, as a pioneer who was killed by the faint king, was also enshrined as a loyal martyr of Yangzhou by the Bamboo Flower Gang in the future, and enjoyed a good reputation after his death.

Of course, the words Yan Kuan and Zhonglie in the original plot are separated by 108,000 miles, and as soon as the officers and soldiers came to interrogate, they led them to find Kou Xu and the others.

This person is an inconsequential trick who died without saying a few words as soon as he appeared, and Long Tao chose him only because he appeared early enough to monitor the progress of the plot earlier.

Long Tao searched his memory and knew that the shrill voice outside was one of his subordinates, named Ma San.

The increase in the number of officers and soldiers in Yangzhou City shows that Yu Wenhua already knows that "The Secret of Eternal Life" has been picked up, and has begun to send people to check the gangsters and pickpockets everywhere, and it is estimated that it will soon be found here, according to the original plot, today may be the time when Yan Kuan died.

"Since there is something to do, you go and tell your brothers, act more restraining today, and don't go out easily." Long Tao commanded Ma San through the window.

As soon as the words fell, there was a sound of the door being violently slammed open outside the courtyard, and a chaotic sound of footsteps rushed straight into the house, followed by Ma San's exclamation: "Chen ...... Chen Shoubei! ”

Long Tao knew that it must be Chen Shoubei of Yangzhou City who was ordered to bring someone to find here, put on his clothes, pushed the door and walked out.

A group of people stood outside the door in a menacing manner, the first was a tall and thin white-faced man, wearing a strong uniform, with a gloomy expression, Chen Shoubei followed behind him, followed by a team of more than a dozen officers and soldiers, holding a boy with an obscene appearance, Long Tao recognized him as a small pickpocket under Yan Kuan, called Skinny Monkey.

"Why is the garrison here?" Long Tao saluted Chen Shoubei according to his identity as Yan Kuan.

On weekdays, these gangsters have dealt with these officers and soldiers, and Chen Shoubei has also received a lot of benefits from them, but at this time, the stakes are very high, Chen Shoubei did not dare to slack off, snorted coldly, and asked with a straight face: "Yan Kuan, Xiao Zhong and Xiao Ling are your subordinates?" ”

"yes, are these two boys in trouble again? I just taught them yesterday. ”

Long Tao searched his memory and knew that Yan Kuan had indeed beaten Kou Xu and the others yesterday, because they sold the stolen things privately, but the person who received the stolen goods told Yan Kuan here.

"Humph! This time it's a big deal! Chen Shoubei shouted: "They took away the things that shouldn't be moved!" ”

Long Tao naturally knew that it was "The Secret of Longevity", but he still pretended to be curious and asked, "What is it?" ”

"Eventful!"

"Hehe, are you sure that the two boys did it? I'm going to have them brought!" ”

The thin monkey who was escorted by the team of officers and soldiers shouted: "Boss, I have seen Tian Wen who lost something with Chen Shoubei, according to his description, it should be those two boys, it can't be wrong!" ”

Tian Wen is a friend of Shi Long, the former owner of "Longevity Formula" in the original book, Shi Long was chased and killed by Yu Wenhua, and before he died, he handed over "Longevity Formula" to Tian Wen for him to take away, but he didn't think that he was picked up by Kou Xu and the others halfway.

Thinking that it was the thin monkey who was captured and interrogated, he recognized Kou Xu and the others from Tian Wen's description, so he came here with Chen Shoubei.

"In that case, I'll have them brought over."

"No need." The tall and thin man finally spoke, his voice gloomy and compassionate.

"Who is this lord?" Long Tao wondered.

Chen Shoubei said: "This is Lord Zhang under Yu Wenhua and the general manager, and he came to do things on the order of the Holy Lord, you must not be lazy!" ”

Long Tao saluted and said, "I've seen Master Zhang!" ”

Master Zhang smiled sadly, and suddenly raised his foot and kicked Long Tao's lower abdomen.

This person still has a bit of kung fu and quick movements, but Long Tao has already noticed it when he raised his foot, and he also saw that this person can only barely be regarded as a good hand, although this kick is fast and ruthless, but the strength contained in it is not strong.

Especially after Long Tao shuttled, he converted a part of the void universe energy into true qi, which permeated his whole body, and at this moment the true qi in his body was close to saturation, and this kick on his body was probably no different from scratching.

Of course, if you use this kick to sneak attack against a gangster leader like Yan Kuan, it will be more than enough.

In an instant, Long Tao's mind was racing, and he decided to take a kick from him first, and immediately restrain his true qi, in case the power of the shock was too strong and startled the other party.

"Ahh

Long Tao covered his lower abdomen and flew backwards, fell to the ground, screamed in pain, and made the reaction that the ruffian leader Yan Kuan should have.

Master Zhang walked up to him, leaned down slightly, and said coldly, "Your name is Yankuan?" Listen, Uncle doesn't have time to talk to you, this matter was arranged by the emperor, and I don't know how many people will lose their heads! Get up for me at once, and take me to those two boys!" ”

In an overgrown abandoned manor in the east of Yangzhou City, a small stone house was lonely and shrunk, Long Tao pushed open the dilapidated door panel and led Zhang Daren and others in.

The people who came with him to search, in addition to this adult, there were more than a dozen good hands, all of them were people from Yu Culture and other aspects, not the local Sui soldiers in Yangzhou, Ma San, Thin Monkey and a group of subordinates just followed from afar, staying outside the abandoned garden, and did not dare to come in.

As soon as these people entered the house, they began to search through boxes and cabinets, but naturally they found nothing.

Long Tao had read the original book and knew that at this time, Kou Xu and the others were hiding in another dilapidated house, where there was a crypt they had prepared in advance to avoid Boss Yan.

Everyone began to search into the dilapidated house with only three rotten walls left, and Long Tao was also dragged by Lord Zhang.

"Can't find anyone yet?"

A cold smile appeared on the corner of Lord Zhang's mouth, staring at Long Tao.

"Boss Yan Kuanyan, you're not going to be playing with us, are you?"

A few people surrounded him angrily, gearing up, apparently trying to beat him up again.

"Hah! I remember! Long Tao suddenly smiled and said: "A few adults come here, there should be a hole here!" As he spoke, he walked to the edge of the crypt where Kou Xu and the others were hiding.

The two of them didn't know much kung fu, and although they tried their best to hold their breath, with Long Tao's perception, as soon as they entered the garden, they noticed that they were hiding there.

Everyone gathered around him, and Long Tao obviously felt that the two boys in the crypt were breathing a lot heavier, obviously nervous to the extreme.

"Adults, watch me do a trick!"

Long Tao laughed, wiped his right hand on his waist, and there was an extra big knife more than four feet long and heavy in his hand out of thin air.

The knife is a single knife style, but the single knife has never been so big, and this knife is extremely heavy at a glance, which is not conducive to wielding it with one hand, and the dark color of the whole body is black and shiny, which makes it a little more mysterious.

Considering that the plot of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" involves the struggle for hegemony in the world, it is inevitable to lead troops to fight, so Long Tao brought this treasure knife that is conducive to rushing and killing in the battle array.

He put the dragon slaying knife in the space of the jade pendant he carried with him, and suddenly took it out at this moment, and everyone was naturally taken aback.

Long Tao held the knife in his backhand and waved it lightly, the black light appeared, and then disappeared, poof, and more than a dozen people fell to the ground at the same time, all of them were stabbed in the throat, and they didn't even have time to scream.

There was a sudden silence in the broken house.

Long Tao put the dragon slaying knife into the jade pendant, coughed dryly, and shouted: "You two stinky boys, don't get out of here quickly!" With that, he stomped on the side of the crypt.

The wooden lid was raised, and the two young boys came out, and their faces changed greatly after seeing a room of corpses, and then they looked at Long Tao in disbelief.

Long Tao saw that the two were only sixteen or seventeen years old, and their stature had not yet fully grown, but one was handsome in literary quality, the other was smart and heroic, and they had different appearances, and it was already conceivable that they would become two outstanding characters with their own temperaments.

"Boss Yan, they ...... You killed them all? The handsome Xu Ziling asked.

Kou Zhong, who was rough-looking, asked calmly, "What do you mean, boss?" ”

Before Long Tao could answer, there was a noise of footsteps outside the house, and a group of subordinates couldn't hear the movement, so they couldn't help but run in, and when they saw the scene inside the house, they were all stunned.

"Old ...... Boss, what's going on? ”

Long Tao pointed to a corpse and said loudly: "It's okay if you all come, it's the so-called official coercion and rebellion, these people are all killed by me!" ”

A group of subordinates couldn't help but gasp, looking at Long Tao's eyes, some admired, some were nervous, some were afraid, and some were puzzled, after all, according to Yan Kuan's usual performance, he would never dare to kill the official's family, not to mention that even if he had the courage, it was said that he did not have the strength to kill so many people in the blink of an eye.

Long Tao ignored their gaze and continued: "These people forced me to hand over Xiao Zhong and Xiao Ling, hum! Am I an unrighteous man who betrays his friends for glory? ”

He had a righteous and awe-inspiring look on his face, but a group of subordinates who were familiar with him were stunned, thinking to themselves that the boss had taken the wrong medicine today.

Long Tao was secretly funny, thinking that after all, you Yankuan was a person who became a loyal martyr in Yangzhou after his death, so he will be righteous for you today, so that you deserve it.

"Boss, what's next?" Ma San asked.

"The matter has become big, it is estimated that you will all be implicated, everyone hurry up!"

"However, the city gates are heavily guarded, how can they escape?"

"Isn't there a culvert next to the east gate?" Long Tao looked at Kou Xu and the others, whose faces changed slightly, and said with a smile: "Xiao Zhong, Xiao Ling, take us together!" ”

Kou Zhong scratched his head and said, "Boss, how do you know that the two of us are familiar with the matter of the culvert?" ”

"Humph! What can you hide from me? Come on! Long Tao quickly commanded, thinking that I know everything about you well, and I know what is so strange about this.

Beside a stream five miles away from Yangzhou City, everyone washed away the dirt contaminated when drilling the culvert, Long Tao glanced at it, and followed out, a total of thirteen people, and the rest of the subordinates were probably unwilling to escape, and secretly stayed in the city.

"There will be pursuers in a while, let's flee separately, don't get together."

"Boss, where are you going?" Ma San was a little reluctant.

"Who knows where to go? Whoever can survive, go there! You boys, take care of yourself! Long Tao looked at the other ten people except Kou Xu and the others, these few were more loyal to him, and they were willing to flee with him, "Okay, I may go to the southeast coast in the future, if you can escape with your life, go there to find me!" ”

"Take care, Boss!"

Several people began to flee in all directions.

Kou Zhong hesitated for a moment, then took out a cloth bag from his arms, which contained a book of strange materials, "Boss, they arrested us for this book, although you have often abused us in the past, but this time you sacrificed your life to save us, and you can't repay the great kindness, this book is ......"

Long Tao waved his hand to interrupt him, "I won't want the book!" ”

Kou Zhong said embarrassedly, "Well, I heard that this is a treasure book about immortality, and we want you to refer to it together. ”

This kid is still reluctant to read this book, and it is magnanimous to let Yan Kuan, who often beat them before, look at it twice.

"I won't be watching either!" Long Tao said impatiently: "You two stinky boys, keep the book well, and you will rely on it for future development, you know?" Alright, get out of here, the pursuers will be here in a moment! I'll go first! ”

After speaking, he chose a random direction and rushed away.

With Xinghai Wuji Jue in his body, Long Tao has little interest in the kung fu of "Longevity", of course, the most important thing is that this book is the golden finger of Kou Xu and the others, if they don't learn the martial arts of "Longevity", the plot behind it will not be able to unfold!

Therefore, Long Tao had to make sure that the subsequent encounters of these two boys would be the same as in the original book, and after he ran for a mile, he immediately turned back and followed Kou Xu and the others from a distance.

After all, the two boys had a young heart, and after running for three or four miles, they came to a stream and stopped.

At this time, Long Tao noticed that a woman in white was quietly approaching them, and he immediately relieved himself.

If there is no mistake, this woman should be Fu Junwu who opened the martial arts path of Kou Xu and the others.
