Everyone looked at each other, and didn't know how to choose for a while, all of them were lonely and had no family, so they basically didn't care, it stands to reason that it was actually normal to go to Yangzhou, but these people had lived in Xicheng for so many years after all, and suddenly let them leave to go to another strange city, and they always felt that there was an indescribable feeling.

"Let me make a statement first, when I was about to starve to death, it was the Pastoral Gang Master who saved me at the beginning, so I will definitely go with Boss Lei on the side of the Yangzhou Ximen Overlord Hall." Li Sanliang took the lead in standing up and expressing his position.

With the first one, the people behind naturally expressed their positions, except for Lei Laohu, the remaining nine people and seven were willing to go to Yangzhou together, but two people expressed their unwillingness to go, one was Guo Yi, and the other was Yang Mengdong.

Guo Yi's reason is that he is used to staying in Xicheng, even if he can only be a low-level person forever, he doesn't want to toss, and Yang Mengdong's reason is similar, saying that although life is more difficult now, life is quite content, if he goes to Yangzhou, nothing may happen, and he is in uncertainty and fear of the future, so he also chooses to stay in Xicheng.

"I want to remind everyone that in Xicheng, we were recruited by the shepherd gang master to join the Cao Gang, so whether you want to or not, since we entered the Cao Gang, we have been marked with the symbol of the shepherd gang master, to put it mildly, we will always be a cannon fodder in Xicheng, where there is danger, maybe let us go where to fill the hole." After seeing everyone's statement, Lei Laohu stood up and spoke.

"You have also seen how badly the three taels were beaten, but this is already the luckiest result, this time it is the other party's subordinates who are merciful, if the other party is in a bad mood, or a different person, then the three taels will be missing arms and legs, and the heavy will directly lose their lives."

Since Boss Lei talked about himself, Li Sanliang showed a wry smile on his face, but when the others turned their heads to look at him, he would meet the other party's eyes and nod his head, indicating that what Boss Lei said was right.

In fact, the situation of these ten people is almost the same, except for Lei Laohu, who is slightly better, but in fact, everyone is cannon fodder, in fact, it is already a consensus, but it has not been so obvious this time before, after all, it hurts self-esteem.

"Meng Dong, Guo Yi, I don't say anything else, I'll persuade once, I will respect your choice after a while, I will add one more thing, this time it was Li Sanliang who replaced us to follow the person in the morning, fortunately he came back safely, this is still the case that ten of us can help each other, if the eight of us leave, there will only be two of you left in Xicheng, you have no background, and you don't have any particularly obvious talents, and you have very few important opportunities, I estimate that in the future, it is very likely that it will still be like now, still at the bottom of the Cao Gang, becoming an existence that is called around by people, you will do the dirty work and dangerous work, and the other benefits will never be your turn. ”

Lei Laohu looked at the two of them with sincere eyes: "And the fact that you are the head of the Shepherd Gang to recruit into the Cao Gang will not change, unless you switch to other people's disciples, but now in this special period, who will accept it, stay in Xicheng, there are many dangers, go to Yangzhou, there are many opportunities, which of the two is more important, you should think about it again!" ”

Everyone else was looking at Yang Mengdong and Guo Yi, Guo Yi showed hesitation, as if his heart was in extreme entanglement, he was not stupid, he naturally knew that Lei Laohu's analysis was correct, and staying in Xicheng was indeed as he said, it was dangerous.

Guo Yi gritted his teeth and said, "Boss Lei, I'd better go to Yangzhou with you." ”

"Good!" Lei Laohu patted Guo Yi's shoulder, turned his head to look at Yang Mengdong: "Meng Dong, what about you?" ”

The expression on Yang Mengdong's face was as firm as ever from the beginning of his decision to Lei Laohu's persuasion, and then to now, he shook his head: "I'd better stay in Xicheng." ”

Li San opened his mouth twice, but in the end he still didn't speak, this was someone else's decision, even if he felt that Yang Mengdong could only put himself in danger by staying here, and nothing else was of much use.

"Okay, Meng Dong, I respect your choice, but now we still have a long time, if Meng Dong changes your choice during the period and still wants to join us, you can come to me at any time!" Lei Laohu looked at Yang Mengdong with complicated eyes.

"Brother Lei, I know, if I change my mind, I will definitely come to you as soon as possible!" Yang Mengdong looked at Lei Laohu and said with a smile.

"If you want it, remember to come to me." Lei Laohu also said with a smile, but there was a subtle sadness in the depths of his eyes, I hope it was not what he thought.

A few people chatted under the poplar tree for a while, most of them talked about how to develop and how to get ahead after going to Yangzhou, and how Yang Mengdong on the side stayed and how he seemed out of place, because he didn't go out of ten people. After another moment, he covered his stomach and said to Lei Laohu. "Boss Lei, my stomach is very uncomfortable, and I want to go back and lie down for a while."

If it was a normal moment, Lei Laohu would definitely laugh and scold: "Stinky boy, I want to be lazy and slippery, and there is no door!" But now, because Yang Mengdong just said that he would not go to Yangzhou with them, if he said so at this time, I was afraid that he would feel that he was taking the opportunity to make things difficult for him.

So Lei Laohu first cared about Yang Mengdong's body, and then asked him to go back and rest. Looking at the back of Yang Mengdong's departure, Lei Laohu fell into deep thought.

"What? Boss Lei felt ...... What went wrong? Lei Lao Hu turned his head, I don't know when Li Sanliang had walked to Lei Laohu's side, and said in a low voice at this time, as if he meant something.

"Let's hope it's okay...... Sanliang, I'll leave it to you here, I'll go up and have a look, and ask for peace of mind. Lei Laohu patted Li Sanliang's shoulder and said slowly, and then immediately followed Yang Mengdong's figure when he disappeared around the corner.

Li Sanliang stayed alone in place, his eyes still looking at the place where Yang Mengdong's figure disappeared just now, and there were words in his mouth: "Ask for peace of mind, I'm afraid that some people are not at peace now......"

And in the Xiaoyao Inn, when Yun Qing led Mu Hong to the courtyard after the disguise, Liu Baiqing was already sitting in the courtyard waiting, and when he saw the young man with the wooden box on his back, he knew that it must be Yun Qing, so he got up and said hello: "Commander Yun!" ”

Then he turned his eyes to the old man on the side, and said with a smile: "Pastoral Gang Master, we meet again, but this time I don't even recognize you!" ”

"Haha, Brother Liu, it's good if you can't recognize us, it's safer if you don't recognize us." Mu Hong also said with a smile, it was not strange how Liu Baiqing recognized him, since he could recognize Commander Yun, then the only person who Commander Yun brought back from outside was him.

"Bai Qing, you take good care of the shepherd master, arrange a room for him, I will go to pass the book to the son's flying pigeon first, only the last carrier pigeon is left, I will go back tomorrow anyway, use it now!" Yun Qing instructed Liu Baiqing.

Liu Baiqing nodded, chatting with Mu Hong about tomorrow's specific implementation plan, and at the same time arranging a room for Mu Hong to stay in tonight, because the entire courtyard was rented, there were still quite a lot of rooms. Then the two chatted about Mu Hong's son Mu Feichen, Liu Baiqing praised him for growing a lot after this incident, and with more experience, he could become Mu Hong's right-hand man in the future.

Mu Hong happily excused himself, saying that Liu Baiqing praised it falsely, people with children have always been like this, praising his children is happier than praising himself. Just as Liu Baiqing and Mu Hong were chatting hotly in the courtyard, Yun Qing walked out of the room with a solemn face.

"Cloud Commander, what's wrong? What's going on? Liu Baiqing stood up and asked, he and Yun Qing have known each other for so many years, and they still know some of Yun Qing's habits, and now looking at the expression on his face, he knows that something not very good must have happened.

"I don't know, I always have a hunch that something bad will happen, Bai Qing, we will plan ahead now, we don't have to wait until tomorrow morning, let's pack up now and get ready to go!" Yun Qing said decisively.

"Good! I'll arrange it now! Liu Baiqing didn't ask the specific reason, and directly and resolutely implemented Yunqing's arrangement. Because when he was still in the Mo Lin Army before, Yun Qing had this kind of bad premonition several times, and each time he avoided danger because of the arrangements made in advance, so Liu Baiqing trusted Yun Qing's premonition very much.

In less than a stick of incense, more than sixty people were all assembled in an instant, this speed completely shocked Mu Hong, Yun Qing gave the order, Liu Baiqing carried it out, and then everyone packed up everything and gathered in the courtyard, this time was too fast and too fast.

And in the courtyard, sixty people stood very neatly, just six columns and ten rows of square squares, although there were only sixty people, but to Mu Hong felt as if there was indeed the kind of momentum and iron blood that only hundreds of soldiers could have standing in front of him.

Each of them carried a package with them, and several of them carried several wooden boxes, which were filled with wine and silver when they came, but now they were almost consumed, and several of them were empty.

"Now you put all your luggage in an empty suitcase, and we're going right away!" Liu Baiqing stood in front of the phalanx and spoke.

Everyone just saluted and didn't reply loudly, after all, in the inn, there are still a lot of people coming and going from the south to the north, and it's not okay to be too high-profile, so since they came to Xicheng, some habits and actions that needed to be shouted out loud have been canceled.

Then they rented several carriages from the passenger station, and pulled them directly to the dock with the boxes, where the merchant ships that had been negotiated a long time ago were docked, and they would be sent back to Yangzhou, the original plan was to leave early tomorrow morning, but now the time is advanced, so they only need to get on the ship, and then they can leave Xicheng.

Now Mu Hong's mood is both excited and apprehensive, he can only pray in his heart, only hope that the next time, everything will go smoothly, and there will be no accidents.
