Liu Baiqing looked at Mu Hong, who was furious, and could still understand the excitement and resentment in his heart at the moment, he was stabbed in the back by his brother who had known him for more than 20 years, and he was stabbed more than once. If the other party just covets the position of the gang leader, it would be fine, but now Jing Zhe has made it clear that he wants to not only help the position of the gang leader, but also kill their Mu family, leaving no one alive.

This is what makes Mu Hong feel the most chilling and angry, before he thought that he was the only one left in the entire huge pastoral mansion to live alone, because except for himself, his son Mu Feichen's life and death are unknown, and the other people in the pastoral mansion were all slaughtered by Jing Zhe in collusion with the Liao people, and there was no one left alive, which was the news that Mu Hong only learned when he came to Ba Xuyao's mansion later.

After all, there are hundreds of lives, and they died like this, except to use the power of the Cao Gang to cover up this matter, otherwise there is no other way to prevent the government from knowing about this matter, and the transportation of more than a hundred corpses alone is a big problem. Therefore, Ba Xuyao, Wogu, and even other members of the gang knew that Jing Zhe had slaughtered the entire Mu Mansion.

It is precisely because they recognized Jing Zhe's ruthlessness, so at Mu Hong's suggestion, Ba Xuyao and Wogu did not choose to be tough on Jing Zhe, but temporarily avoided his peak, pretended to tell the old man and returned to his hometown, first ensured his life, and then took Mu Hong out of Xicheng, and finally made a decision.

Although Xicheng has now been completely controlled by Jing Zhe, after all, the Cao Gang is a force that has been inherited for nearly a thousand years, and in addition to the headquarters of Xicheng, there are still many branches in Dayan that are loyal to the Mu family.

Therefore, for Mu Hong, it is better to let people like Ba Xuyao and Wogu, who have enough prestige and influence in the Xicheng headquarters, and have the ability, send them to death so meaninglessly, it is better to preserve their strength, temporarily avoid the limelight, and go to a safe enough place to raise the flag to denounce the counterattack on Xicheng.

And Mu Hong, as a dignified gang leader, of course, has a much higher pattern and insight than ordinary people, he judged from what he saw that day and the news found out later, that the two "deputy gang leaders" with dozens of strong martial arts Liao people will definitely not stay in Xicheng for a long time, and will definitely return to the northern Liao country after a while.

Because the purpose of the Liao people is not to want the Cao Gang, they fancy the use of the Cao Gang's transportation ability, hoping that the Cao Gang can help them secretly transport some materials that the Liao State does not have, such as salt, iron, silk and cloth, to the Liao State. The reason why Mu Hong is so clear is because before the accident, Jing Zhe took the Liao people to find him, saying that he hoped that the Cao Gang could cooperate with the Liao State.

If it can be done, then Mu Hong will get a lot of wealth, then go to the Liao country, high-ranking officials and beauties, but Mu Hong refused, they Cao Gang and Mu family, although they have never participated in the general trend of the world, do not want to settle the country, but in front of the national righteousness can still distinguish what can be done, what things can never be done.

So at that time, Mu Hong rejected the proposal of the Liao people, but he didn't embarrass them, just let them leave on their own, and even told Jing Zhe to deal less with these Liao people in the future, but he didn't expect that in the end, it was Jing Zhe who took these two Liao people to want his own life, and slaughtered the entire Mu Mansion.

Although these two people were stained with the blood of so many people in the Mu Mansion, Mu Hong's heart was also very eager to be able to slash them with blood, but as soon as the Liao people left, Jing Zhe's strength would drop a lot, and his chances of regaining the Cao Gang would be much greater, and it would be easier.

Mu Hong has been able to take charge of the Cao Gang for so many years, and he will naturally distinguish which is more important, so he has also made up his mind to escape from Xicheng first, settle in a safe enough place, and then start to slowly contact those hall masters who are loyal to him, integrate their forces, and finally counterattack Xicheng.

Take Jing Zhe down first, torture slowly, and deal with the culprit first, in order to avenge his own blood and hatred, as for those people in the Liao State who are behind the scenes, it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge, he Mu Hong is not a generation of heroes, but a powerful character, he will not forget that it is the Liao people who have ruined his family, this revenge will definitely be avenged, he can afford to wait, and then think about how to take revenge after he is back in charge of the Cao Gang.

And now that he got the good news brought by Liu Baiqing, he was even more calm in his heart, and even thought that he would be able to stay away from Xicheng and be safer, because the integration of those forces that are loyal to him will not be able to be achieved overnight in a short time, and it will take a long time to complete.

You can't run to others single-handedly and say, you follow me to overthrow Jing Zhe's anti-thief, after overthrowing, you will eat and drink spicy food. The key is that you are alone now, who is willing to take out the existing status of the hall master to fight for that is still an empty promise, and even after a defeat, you may not even be able to keep the current position of the hall master, and you may lose your life.

If the other party just doesn't agree, then that's it, if the other party takes advantage of the situation to take his backhand and send it to Jing Zhe to invite credit, it's not impossible, after all, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, and even Jing Zhe, who has been a brotherly friend for twenty years, can choose to betray for the sake of rights and desires, and even harm himself, not to mention others.

With Mu Hong's life experience, he would not do such an uncertain thing, but now he knows that his son is in Yangzhou City, almost under the nose of the Xicheng Cao Gang headquarters, and sure enough, the more dangerous the place, the safer, not to mention that with the support of Ximen Ba, the master of the Yangzhou Branch, it is indeed a very good hiding place.

And according to Liu Baiqing, Ximen Ba also took the initiative to go to Runzhou to contact Shao Yangwen, who was not so close to Mu Hong, but Shao Yangwen and Ximen Ba were very compatible, and when they were still in Xicheng before, the two often got together to drink and learn martial arts.

However, Mu Hong paid more attention to Ximen Ba at that time, and he didn't pay so much attention to Shao Yangwen, but I don't know if the latter will take risks to help him after he is in trouble, but these are also things to consider later.

In this short moment, he was even more curious about the "childe" that Liu Baiqing said, what did this Cao Gongzi do to help him, he was at his age, he naturally didn't believe that there was a free lunch in the sky, the reason why Cao Yi was willing to help Mu Feichen and sent someone to Xicheng to find himself must have a plan, he was not afraid that the other party had a plan at all, he was afraid that the other party would not make any requests, which was what worried him the most.

However, these things, with his current situation, are not suitable for thinking about and calculating the gains and losses now, because according to his current environment, the top priority is how to safely leave Xicheng, which is controlled by Jing Zhe's heavy troops and strictly prevents Mu Hong from escaping.

If he followed the original plan, he pinned his hopes on Ba Xuyao and Wogu, and in the past few days, Ba Xuyao and Wogu have been under his instruction to spread the fog by purchasing various things for enjoyment, on the one hand, to relax Jing Zhe's monitoring of the two of them and reduce his suspicions. On the other hand, I hope that when they leave Xicheng, because of the crazy procurement in the past few days, whether it is a salute or a person, it will become a large number of people, and the chance of him getting involved in it and leaving will be higher.

At that time, he planned to let Wogu and Ba Xuyao leave Xicheng in different directions at the same time, so that the power of Jingzhe's surveillance would also be separated, and Mu Hong himself could disguise himself and sneak into one of the two teams to escape from Xicheng. The previous plan was planned like this, and as for the specific results when it is implemented later, it can only be done to the best of our ability and obey the destiny of God.

"Pastoral Gang Master, I came to Xicheng mainly to find you on the order of my son-in-law, and take you safely away from Xicheng and go to Yangzhou together, I don't know what you think?" Liu Baiqing clasped his hands and said.

Mu Hong's eyes narrowed slightly, and he replied softly: "Brother Liu, how did your son know that I was still in Xicheng, or how did you judge that I was still alive and hiding in Xicheng." ”

When Mu Hong said something, Ba Xuyao also looked at Liu Baiqing with a puzzled expression, and he also wondered, even he, Mu Hong's henchman, before Mu Hong appeared in his mansion, he didn't know whether his helper was alive or dead, and where he was now. And he's still a person from Xicheng, even he doesn't know very well.

Why is this Liu Baiqing's son, who is far away in Yangzhou, still able to accurately judge that the gang leader is still alive, and he is in Xicheng, because Liu Baiqing said that he came to Xicheng to find Mu Hong on the order of his son-in-law and took him away, which shows that the other party has been convinced in his heart that the gang leader is still alive and is in Xicheng.

Liu Baiqing smiled, with a smug smile on his face: "My son-in-law is the famous and genuine No. 1 talent in Jiangning, and after going to Yangzhou, he is even more powerful than the four talents of Yangzhou, and he has also made a great reputation in Yangzhou City!" ”

Speaking in general, Liu Baiqing suddenly realized that he praised his son-in-law, and as a result, he turned the topic away, and quickly added: "My son-in-law is judged by the analysis of the wired information transmitted from here, because Jing Zhe has been stationed throughout the city in Xicheng, and any stranger who enters Xicheng will be monitored and followed by his people, and the caravan that leaves Xicheng, whether it is a convoy or a merchant ship, will be strictly inspected by the Cao Gang, so my son-in-law judges that in Xicheng, at least there are people or things that he can't control." ”

Liu Baiqing glanced at Mu Hong, who was listening intently to his explanation: "Since Jing Zhe has become the leader of the gang himself, and the people who oppose him in the gang are either killed or expelled, and the overall situation has been decided, he is still under martial law in Xicheng, it shows that the actual situation is not the case, and he must still feel that there are any security risks, he is afraid that people from outside will come in and make the situation in the city more chaotic, and he seems to be afraid that something important in the city will leave Xicheng, so my son-in-law judged that Mu Hong is still alive, And it's always been in the West City, and I haven't left ......"

"And in addition to that, my son-in-law also suspects that there is something wrong with the Ba Hall Master and the Wo Hall Master." Liu Baiqing glanced at Ba Xuyao with a smile and said slowly.

Ba Xuyao's expression changed slightly, what flaws did he reveal before he could not, Mu Hong also looked at Liu Baiqing intently, and said: "Please also ask Brother Liu to explain my doubts, what is the problem between the Ba Hall Master and the Wo Hall Master?" ”

Liu Baiqing shifted his gaze back to Mu Hong: "Actually, my son-in-law is just guessing that although the Ba Hall Master and the Wo Hall Master are a bit old, strictly speaking, they have not yet reached the point of returning to their hometown. But the two hall masters successfully ascended to the position of the gang leader after Jing Zhe successfully ascended to the position of the gang leader, and the next thing was to reorganize and collect the other personnel of the Cao Gang headquarters, and consciously proposed to return to their hometowns and hand over the position of their hall masters, there are three possibilities, the first is that Jing Zhe will force those who originally took the middle position to come out of the team, so the two hall masters want to leave the land of right and wrong in Xicheng in advance before it starts. ”

Mu Hong and Ba Xuyao, who were opposite Liu Baiqing, both nodded at the same time, first putting aside what the actual situation was, the first one that Cao Yi guessed might indeed exist, and the two of them now wanted to know what the remaining two reasons were.

"The second reason is that the two hall masters do not recognize Jing Zhe in their hearts, and they are still towards the Mu family or the Mu gang leader, so they are unwilling to go along with Jing Zhe, and would rather give up their existing rights and status. As for the third one, this is the least likely, that is, the two very coincidentally felt that their bodies couldn't bear it, so they happened to return to their hometowns together. Liu Baiqing looked at Ba Xuyao and said slowly.

"No matter what the reason is, in the eyes of my son-in-law, it can be fought for, and my son-in-law also said that if the two hall masters do not cooperate at that time, they will even be forced to go to Yangzhou to help your young gang master and recapture the Cao Gang."
