Gaoyou was not very far from Yangzhou, and the merchant ships soon sailed into the city of Yangzhou. Yangzhou is the meaning of the three famous cities in the Sui and Tang dynasties. Completely different from the majestic majesty of Chang'an and the vicissitudes of Luoyang, Yangzhou City is a prosperous place where businessmen gather. Even in the middle of winter, there is a lot of life everywhere. When Long Xiaomo, who has lived in the north for a long time, first arrived here, he was immediately attracted by this place. After getting off the boat, together with Qingsi, I entered a restaurant called Zui Chunju, ordered a few local famous dishes, a pot of osmanthus stuffed, and immediately ate a lot of joy.

When Long Xiaomo was eating heartily, a big man sat beside them and folded a few chopsticks into the shape of a three-star arch moon.

Long Xiaomo's heart was suddenly annoyed, she was eating happily, how could such an inexplicable person run over to her table and juggle. When he was about to have a seizure, he saw the green silk next to him with his fingers stacked and made a strange gesture. Only then did Long Xiaomo know that the two of them were making incisions.

I saw that the big man nodded to Qingsi, turned around and left. Not long after the big man walked out, Qingsi dragged Long Xiaomo to follow, took out a string of copper coins and threw it on the table, which was considered to be paid.

The big man walked very slowly in front of him, as if he was waiting for them on purpose. In this way, the group turned around in the alleys of Yangzhou, and finally followed Dahan into a place called "March Spring".

After Long Xiaomo pushed the door in, he suddenly smelled a familiar fragrance, and suddenly felt a sense of relaxation and joy, and couldn't help but stretch his waist.

Qingsi smelled it and said, "What kind of place is this, why is the fat powder so heavy?"

Long Xiaomo said: "You can't even smell this, and you are still a spy, this is obviously a kiln." ”

Qingsi couldn't help frowning when she heard Zhihu, obviously dissatisfied with Hou Junji's choice of such a logistics base.

Long Xiaomo was obviously very curious about this place, and said: "Tut-tut, it's amazing, Yangzhou is really a prosperous place, even the kiln is so luxurious, it is much more decent than Xinghualou." ”

At the very center of "March Spring" is a five-storey pavilion that looks very magnificent

The big man in black looked at the two of them with a smile in the distance and said, "You two have been waiting for a long time. My master is waiting for the two of you upstairs. The black-clothed man, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, which startled Long Xiaomo.

Long Xiaomo and Qingsi were very behind the man in black and walked up to the tall building. When he walked to the top floor, Long Xiaomo found that this was the tallest building in Yangzhou City.

Long Xiaomo had never seen such a beautiful scenery in Chang'an City, dancing and screaming on the roof, Qingsi was behind him, secretly laughing at Long Xiaomo for not seeing the world.

The man in black was tidying up the wine and food in the hall on the top floor at this time, and from time to time there were some singers shuttling back and forth, and it seemed that tonight's reception banquet must be a big scene.

Long Xiaomo turned around and asked the man in black, and said, "Why hasn't your master come out yet, it's so mysterious, who is he?"

The man in black arched his hand and said, "Don't worry, my master will be here soon." ”

Before the man in black could finish his words, a hearty laugh came from the corridor: "Why, Xian."

Brother, you're still in such a hurry, you can't wait for a while?"

"Xiong Sancannon. Long Xiaomo and Qingsi shouted in unison. That's right, the owner here is Xiong Sanpao.

Xiong Sanpao was dressed in a silk coat, walked over in three steps and two steps, hugged Long Xiaomo tightly in his arms, and said, "Good brother, I haven't seen you for two months, you miss my brother." ”

After a few people met, they had a cordial feeling, and they sat down together and drank wine. After the last time they were separated in Luoyang, Long Xiaomo fell unconscious on the battlefield. After returning to Chang'an, he once inquired about the whereabouts of his old brother Xiong Sanpao. But the strange thing is that the people in the Qin Palace's side are very secretive about Xiong Sanpao's movements. Today, I learned that it was Li Shimin who sent Xiong Sanpao to Yangzhou to collect intelligence.

Since it is engaged in intelligence, it is necessary to have a hidden identity. When he was in Luoyang, Xiong Sanpao was the largest gang leader in the local area, and he was very experienced in the operation of green buildings and casinos. He took the silver taels funded by Li Shimin, and then sold part of his family property in Luoyang, and developed strongly in Qinglou.

We don't know how high Xiong Sanpao's level of intelligence is, but he is definitely a good hand at doing business. Yangzhou was about to face wartime, and the people in the city were panicking. Those who were able to sell their properties for cash all ran away. Therefore, Xiong Sanpao only used less than 50% of the usual price to win the largest green building and the largest casino in Yangzhou City.

Xiong Sanpao proudly told Long Xiaomo about his business experience: "How is it? No matter how good Chang'an is, it is also the territory of the royal family and nobles, no matter how rich you are, you are not even a fart in the eyes of the royal family." How about doing it with my brother in Yangzhou?"

"Ahem. Qingsi coughed beside her and said, "Gang Leader Xiong, I remember that King Qin supported you with a lot of silver, and he didn't let you come over to make money by trading." I don't know what King Qin has instructed me to do?"

Xiong Sanpao was foaming at the mouth of Daoxing's head, when he was suddenly interrupted by Qingsi and said, "Sister Qingsi, you can make my brother embarrassed in this matter." No matter what happens, it's all close inside and out. Although I have returned to the Tang Dynasty, the object of my allegiance is our Qin King Li Shimin. It's not the lustful emperor and the prince. If it is His Royal Highness the King of Qin who comes to attack Fugongshi this time, we will not let any old bear fart go, and rush up with our arms and sleeves. But I heard that the person in charge was a sissy scholar, and he called him Li Jing, Lao Tzu hadn't even heard of it, and he came out of the Maoshan Sect. When Lao Tzu saw the gang of people from the Maoshan Sect, he wanted to beat them. ”

Long Xiaomo frowned and said, "Isn't the Maoshan Sect known as the Xuanmen Sect in the south?

Xiong Sanpao said: "The Maoshan Sect didn't do anything bad? After all, it is an old sect that has been inherited for many years. In this generation, there are three brothers in charge, namely Ling Fengzi, Ling Yunzi and Ling Yuezi. Ling Fengzi is the sect master, he is naturally good-tempered, but he doesn't care much about the name of the sect master. This Ling Yunzi and Ling Yuezi are the second and third junior respectively. These two people seem to be brought out of the womb by the mother, and they are born to fight non-stop like a cricket. This Ling Yunzi is Li Jing's master. As soon as he heard that it was Li Jing who brought people to recover Jiangnan this time, he secretly picked up Ling Fengzi to answer Li Jing.

But what about this old third Ling Yuezi, I don't know if he committed the temper of the donkey or if he had a good relationship with Fugongshi, and made it clear that the carriage and horse wanted to help Fugongshi. ”

Long Xiaomo said: "I'm rubbing, such a cliché story." So that good old man sect master Ling Fengzi didn't come out to mediate at the critical moment?"

Xiong Sanpao said: "Mediation? At such a critical moment, no matter how good your temper is, you can't ignore it." Ling Fengzi said that the Tang army is powerful, and Fu Gongshi estimates that it will not be able to stop the Tang army's team, so why don't we just help each other and continue to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight?"

Long Xiaomo said: "Yes, people outside the square, Mingzhe is the foundation to protect one's self. ”

Xiong Sanpao said: "Who said it wasn't? But Ling Yuezi seemed to be the eighth king who had eaten the scales, and he was bent on following Fugongshi. ”

Long Xiaomo said: "I guess that this Ling Yuezi is angry. ”

Xiong Sanpao said: "Who said it wasn't? This Ling Yuezi is a different kind of cultivation, I don't know what kind of animal it is. Most of his disciples are also outliers, and they have gathered near Yangzhou City recently, and they seem to be ready to move and have some plans. ”

Long Xiaomo and Qingsi glanced at each other, and said to Xiong Sanpao, "Do you know, does this Ling Fengzi have an apprentice named Phantom Chenzi?"

Xiong Sanpao said: "Yes, there are three proud disciples under Ling Fengzi, who have entered the Maoshan Sect after cultivating as a heterogeneous species, known as the Three Spirits of Mountains and Seas. This phantom dust is Ling Fengzi's second disciple, and it is said that he is the essence of an animal in the sea. Why? Did you meet him?"

Long Xiaomo shook his head and told Xiong Sanpao what they had seen on the boat. Xiong Sanpao shook his head and said, "You don't quite understand the mentality of these alien cultivators. The practice of animals is much more difficult than that of humans. They finally cultivated into human form, and they claimed to be human beings, and they especially liked to tell people some great truths in a sanctimonious manner. But if you reveal their identity, you will tear off their fig leaf in public, and they will hold a grudge against you for the rest of your life. ”

Long Xiaomo's head suddenly grew for a while, and then asked, "Are there all the Dao masters in the Maoshan Sect who are cultivating this kind of alien cultivation?"

Xiong Sanpao said: "How can it? The Maoshan Sect and the Sutu Sect are known as the authentic sects of the Xuanmen in the world. There are thousands of Dao masters under the sect, but the one who cultivates differently is Ling Fengzi, and there should be less than a hundred. But recently, they have been very active in Yangzhou City. ”

Long Xiaomo said: "Have you figured out what they are doing here in Yangzhou City?"

Xiong Sanpao said: "I really inquired about this matter. After Ling Fengzi and his gang arrived in Yangzhou, they got together with some local Tufuzi. ”

Qingsi asked, "Tufuzi, isn't that a tomb robber from the south?" ”

Xiong Sanpao said: "I also thought this matter was very strange, so I sent some of my men to break into them. Later, I vaguely heard that these people came for some kind of treasure. ”

When she heard this, the nerves on Long Xiaomo's face couldn't help but twitch. Xiong Sanpao keenly caught the expression on Long Xiaomo's face, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" brother, you have also heard of this treasure. ”
