Liu Baiqing looked at the two people opposite with an innocent smile on his face, but his ears were shaking frequently at the moment, because he heard a large number of footsteps outside, although they were enough to light down their steps and suppress their voices, but for a master like Liu Baiqing who was always watching and listening to all directions, he had already discovered when so many people outside walked into this courtyard, and the sound of running against the wind was clear with the knife out of the sheath in his hand.

For others, it may not have been heard yet, but for Liu Baiqing, who grew up in the barracks and spent the first half of his body in the war, this voice is too familiar. Liu Baiqing understood that the other party had already made plans for the outside before he came.

If this jade pendant was given to him by Mu Feichen, and he can prove it, then Ba Xuyao is estimated to tell him some truths, and may even make a cooperation agreement. If this jade pendant was snatched by him from Mu Feichen, then what was waiting for him might be the swords and axes of such people outside.

When Liu Baiqing was thinking in his heart, Ba Xuyao and this one-eyed dragon named Brother Hong had also been observing Liu Baiqing, staring at the latter's eyes, just to observe whether he was lying from his swollen eyes when Liu Baiqing said where the jade pendant came from.

Liu Baiqing stood up, and under the gaze of Ba Xuyao and Brother Hong, he slowly walked to the door, although the door was closed, and the window paper was glued to it, so he couldn't see the outside at all, but Liu Baiqing still looked outside. Then he turned his head to look at Ba Xuyao, with a weird smile on his face.

"Master Batang, this ...... Is that your hospitality? As he spoke, Liu Baiqing also nodded his head out.

Ba Xuyao and Brother Hong glanced at each other, with a curious look in their eyes, this courtyard was where they often stayed, and they naturally knew that they couldn't see anything when they looked out of the room, so they were very curious about how the young man named Liu Baiqing in front of them knew.

"Huh...... Young Master Liu, what are you talking about? I'm just asking you where did you get this jade pendant? An unnatural smile appeared on Ba Xuyao's face.

"Hall Master Ba, since I dare to come into your mansion alone, not to mention the knife hand you are ambushing in the courtyard now, let's just say that there are probably not a few supervisors from the Cao Gang Jing Zhe outside your mansion, and I dare to come alone in such a dangerous place, it is enough to express my sincerity, just put the hall master you ...... Doesn't seem to be kind to me? ”

Although there were more than a dozen knife hands in the courtyard outside, Liu Baiqing still had no effect, and there was no panicked look on his face, but he answered Ba Xuyao's question very calmly, and even dared to ask the other party's hospitality.

However, although Liu Baiqing's words were very plain, they made Ba Xuyao and Brother Hong, who had been listening, change color at the same time. Because the young man in front of him just said that there were a large number of knife hands in the courtyard in ambush, and there were many spies sent by Jing Zhe outside the mansion to monitor, although the words were not long, but the news revealed inside was very huge.

First of all, the other party didn't know why he found the knife hand in ambush in the courtyard outside the room, and secondly, the other party even knew that Ba Xuyao was now being monitored by the Cao Gang Jing Zhe, and a lot of information could be derived from this. It shows that this young man at least knows a lot of inside stories, and it is not as simple as coming from other places, and then thinking of the jade pendant that was specially displayed from his belt in a short period of time when he was selling his own wine, but he immediately quickly hid it.

And when he lowered his voice to ask him, he changed the topic very naturally, and said very naturally that because he respected the Cao Gang, he would personally send wine to Ba Xuyao's house. In this way, he found a legitimate reason to meet with Ba Xuyao, and the spies sent by Jing Zhe to monitor Ba Xuyao all the time would not think that there was anything wrong with this Liu Baiqing coming to see Ba Xuyao, because others came to drink.

The most important thing is that this Liu Baiqing sold wine over there early, and it was Ba Xuyao who walked over by himself, not Liu Baiqing who suddenly jumped in front of Ba Xuyao and wanted to sell wine to the latter, and before selling it to Ba Xuyao, he did sell a lot

The local powerful people in Yangzhou, so they will not arouse suspicion.

Thinking of this, Ba Xuyao looked at Liu Baiqing with a shocked expression, in this way, from the time he came to Xicheng, to set up a stall to sell wine, and now to enter his mansion, wouldn't every step be calculated very clearly, and whether it was himself or Jing Zhe, he was almost deceived by him.

However, what shocked and frightened him even more was that it was Liu Baiqing's next words that made his entire scalp tingle, and his back was instantly soaked in cold sweat.

"If my guess is correct, this Brother Hong is the leader of the Cao Gang Mu Hong, right?" Liu Baiqing said to Brother Hong with a smile.

Brother Hong only needs to stare at the other eye because he is wearing an eye patch, which is very obvious, when Liu Baiqing said that he was Mu Hong, the leader of the Cao Gang, his remaining eye instantly contracted rapidly, Liu Baiqing saw it in his eyes and knew that he had guessed correctly, so the next words could be said directly.

"How did you guess?" Brother Hong, that is, Mu Hong, opened his mouth and said, although his eyes had betrayed his shock before, but now he spoke in a very calm tone, as if nothing had happened just now. And Ba Xuyao on the side completely ceded the dominance of the room to the former leader of the Cao Gang after Mu Hong spoke, and he shrank behind Mu Hong, and he also looked at Liu Baiqing with a curious face, and he also wanted to know how the other party guessed.

"Mu Gang Master, let me first tell you about the situation of your son Mu Feichen, right?" Liu Baiqing did not answer Mu Hong's question for the first time, but changed the topic and said that this routine was also asked by Gongzi to do this in advance before he came, what to say to control the situation and grasp the initiative, although he didn't understand it very well, but since Gongzi asked him to do it, then he would do it truthfully.

Mu Hong was shocked by Liu Baiqing's non-routine play, this is the second time that Liu Baiqing has answered the question and changed the topic, but every time he changes the topic, he can still attract himself, so that he is willing to follow his rhythm. From beginning to end, it was from his son's jade pendant first, to hospitality, to his identity, and finally back to his son, which shows that from the time Liu Baiqing entered this house, the rhythm and situation on the field have always been controlled and controlled by him.

Thinking of this, although Mu Hong was shocked that Liu Baiqing had such a sharp ability to control the field at such a young age, but now his son's situation made him more concerned, so he looked at Liu Baiqing very anxiously and asked directly: "Young Master Liu, how is the dog?" ”

Liu Baiqing showed a smile on his face and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Mu Gang Master, your son Ji Ren has his own natural appearance, and he can persevere in such a dangerous Yangtze River......"

In the following period, Liu Baiqing told how he rescued Mu Feichen in the Yangtze River and then brought him to Yangzhou. was arranged by his son-in-law Cao Yi to live in Zhizhou Mansion, and then there was a conflict between his son-in-law and Ximen Ba, the head of the Cao Gang Branch, and then he took Ximen Ba to meet Mu Feichen, and Ximen Ba went to Runzhou to persuade Shao Yangwen again.

"Good! Good! Good! Mu Hong heard the back, his eyes were moist, and he said three good words in a row, before he always thought that his son had been killed by Jing Zhe, because he knew that his son was sent to the boat by those loyal elders in Xicheng to escape from Xicheng, but in the end in the middle of the Yangtze River was caught up by the people sent by Jing Zhe, and everyone was killed, he didn't know that his son jumped into the river to gamble for his life.

I didn't expect to really bet on him in the end, God blessed, I didn't let them be the last herdsman! Thinking of this, Mu Hong remembered that the benefactor in front of him was the benefactor who saved his son, so Mu Hong walked up to Liu Baiqing, clasped his hands into fists and bowed deeply to the latter.

"Mu Hong, on behalf of the dog, thanked Liu Gongzi for saving his life, so that our Mu family did not end up ......"

Liu Baiqing hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and said modestly: "Hurry up, no matter what, I am a junior, I dare not be a junior!" ”

"Ba Xuyao thanked Liu Gongzi for saving his life to the young gang master!" Ba Xuyao also stepped forward and thanked Liu Baiqing with a fist.

"Master Ba, you are also polite, I didn't know his identity when I rescued Mu Gongzi, I think whoever sees this person floating on the surface of the Yangtze River will lend a hand." Liu Baiqing excused himself.

Then he turned his head to look at Mu Hong on the side, and asked suspiciously: "Mu Gang Master, your eyes ......

Mu Hong smiled when he heard this, stretched out his hand and took off the blindfold of his left eye, blinked his left eye, it seemed that he had been illuminated by the blindfold for a long time, and now he suddenly saw the light and was still a little uncomfortable, and said: "Liu Gongzi, I am simply covering up, because I didn't know Liu Gongzi's identity before, so I was afraid that you were a spy sent by Jing Zhe, so I deliberately blocked it, so that I could not be recognized." ”

Liu Baiqing nodded clearly, understood the reason why the other party did this, and asked: "Mu Gang Master, the Woguwo Hall Master is also the same as the Ba Hall Master, is it the same reason as the Ba Hall Master?" ”

"Well, yes, Hall Master Ba and Hall Master Wo are our right-hand men, I realized that it was too late when Jing Zhe colluded with the Liao people to plot against me, they had already come to my courtyard, and when I saw them, they killed people when they saw them, so I didn't even have time to escape with Feichen, who was still entertaining outside, and I could only use the escape passage in my bedroom to run to the secret escape place that only I knew. When I used up all the supplies in the secret escape and had to come out, I found that the entire Cao Gang was already like this! Mu Hong said with a painful face, and even with endless hatred and anger towards Jing Zhe.
