Two days later, a merchant ship bound for Xicheng from Yangzhou slowly docked at the pier in the north of Xicheng, and a large number of young people on board who looked very young attracted the attention of others. Although the number of these young people is only about fifty, it is like a small wave in the vast sea of people for a city like Xicheng, where there are many caravans coming in and out every day.

However, at this critical moment, there were still several spies from the Cao Gang on the dock, and they immediately targeted this group of young people. At the tense juncture when the former gang leader Mu Hong disappeared and the members of the old faction in the Cao Gang were killed or driven away by Jing Zhe, these spies, as Jing Zhe's thugs, naturally stood on Jing Zhe's side, not only responsible for supervising the entry of unknown forces into Xicheng, but also preventing special personnel from escaping from Xicheng.

As for this special person, although the high-level members of the gang did not say it explicitly, people like them who licked blood at the knife edge still had bright eyes and flexible minds. Naturally, it can be guessed, it is Mu Hong and Mu Feichen. Once discovered, report it immediately, and someone will naturally come to deal with it, and they only need to ensure that they don't lose it.

Now a few of them gathered on the dock, looking at Liu Baiqing's group of more than 50 people on the deck of the merchant ship from a distance, discussing with each other.

"Boss Lei, do we need to report this situation?" A very obscene-looking young man with a shoehorn face, a collapsed nose, small eyes like soybeans, and pockmarked eyes on his face asked.

The middle-aged man in the center with dark skin and a beard as messy as straw squinted his eyes and stared at Liu Baiqing and the others on the merchant ship, frowned slightly, and said: "Li Sanliang, if you report to the higher authorities and send someone to investigate and find that these people are just ordinary people, and then the upper part will be angry, can you bear this responsibility?" ”

The person called Li Sanliang originally wanted to say something, but he was glared at by Boss Lei, and retracted his head again, saying no more.

"Anyway, I'll also tell you the bottom, the people above sent us to watch here, we mainly stared, there are no major problems, here, stay for a day, there are people changing shifts at night, nothing has to be done, there is still a silver collar, this is not much more comfortable than before, so it is better to have more than one thing less." Big Guy Lei glanced left and right and said softly.

"First of all, if these people are not the people to watch out for, then we will be reprimanded if we report it, and we will not report anything. If these people are indeed the ones who have been on guard against above, do you think it is useful to rely on those of us who can only do three-legged cat kung fu and usually bully loyal and honest good people, but we really fight with knives but have no combat power? I guess you think it's very safe to follow others, but when you turn around, they will wrap us up, and then it will really be life and death. ”

Boss Lei said lightly with the expression of a person who came over, and then glanced at Li Sanliang obliquely: "Li Sanliang, with your rat guts, I really let you take a knife and fight with them, do you dare?" ”

"This ...... This ......" Li Sanliang took two steps back, and there was no reason for this for a long time.

"Isn't this over, so it's better for us to have more than one thing, stay here honestly for a day, and in the evening, after someone changes shifts, we can just eat and drink spicy food, and we don't need to find guilt for ourselves." As soon as Boss Lei finished speaking, everyone else laughed, and even Li Sanliang laughed wryly at this time.

"But!" Boss Lei's tone changed, and after elongating the end note, attracting everyone's attention, he continued: "Although we don't have to do it so carefully, we still have to have surface skills, so we should do it, and we still have to do it later." ”

When the Cao Gang was discussing, Liu Baiqing on the boat had already discussed, and the number of people was too much, so it was necessary to divide it into a little more detail, basically with five people as a unit, everyone was scattered, scattered into ten groups, and each went to the Easy Inn.

First, the Xiaoyao Inn is the most well-known inn in Xicheng, basically coming from other places to do business, or passing through the caravan here, will basically stay in this inn, so Liu Baiqing and they stay here, but it is more normal, and there is also a point that Yuan Qing Feige has mentioned that they live in the Xiaoyao Inn, so it is convenient for them to communicate.

So they disembarked in batches, except for several groups with boxes, chartered the carriage of the wharf, and went directly to the Xiaoyao Inn by carriage, the others walked over, anyway, if you don't know the road on the road, just find someone to inquire, the locals know how to go to the Xiaoyao Inn.

It's not that they really came with goods, but in this era, there are no silver tickets, and the five thousand taels of silver must be divided into three boxes to pack, so three of the ten groups are carrying boxes, and the remaining seven groups are not able to do it themselves.

Liu Baiqing, as the leading eldest brother, naturally chartered a carriage with one of the boxes, and took the lead in going to the Xiaoyao Inn, he wanted to charter a yard in the inn, the kind that can accommodate fifty people, anyway, they just stayed here for three or four days at most, so it was more cost-effective to charter the yard.

Moreover, the courtyard is relatively more private, and when the time comes, Yuan Qing and the others can sneak in to discuss and communicate matters in Xicheng.

"Boss Lei, what now?" The group of people gathered together in the Cao Gang watched Liu Baiqing and the others divide into ten batches and leave separately, and the people they added together were only eight, and they didn't know what to do now.

"In this way, three people follow the three to make the carriage, and the remaining four people can find a group to follow, and there is no way to do it if the manpower is insufficient, and I will sit here, otherwise the people above will find out that you have no one on our side, and you will definitely be scolded. I repeat, you just have to follow and see where they land, don't expose yourself, don't put yourself in danger, and the other thing is, keep up if you can, just keep up if you can, just forget it, hang around, come back directly, don't contradict them. Boss Lei looked at everyone and said slowly.

"Yes!" "Got it, Boss Lei!" "Hehe, Boss Lei, I'm good at what you said!" "We'll come when we go, Boss Lei!" The others responded one after another, and then followed Liu Baiqing and the others one by one.

Lei Laohu was now the only one left on the dock, he looked in the direction the others left, fell into deep thought, and after a long time, he muttered to himself: "Shepherd Gang Master, if they really came to help you, how good it would be......"

After Liu Baiqing arrived at the Xiaoyao Inn, he asked for a big courtyard like a shopkeeper, not big or small, just enough to accommodate fifty or sixty people, so that when the time comes, Yunqing and others can also live in directly, but the daily rent is also a lot, it costs one hundred and eighty taels of silver in a single day, and it will cost nearly five hundred taels in three days. This made Liu Baiqing even want to propose to Cao Yi that if he didn't get a few inns in the future, he would definitely be able to make money steadily.

Liu Baiqing sent someone to drink tea in the lobby of the inn, and by the way, he waited for the other team members to come over, come to a group, lead in a group, and see if he could meet the group of people who led them before.

When it was time to eat in the evening, sure enough, the secret guard who was arranged to drink tea in the lobby was the first to see Helian Qishan, and approached the latter without moving, but Helian Qishan, as a person of the secret guard, was naturally very good at tracking and counter-tracking, so as soon as the people of the secret guard approached, he realized it as soon as possible.

Glancing at it casually in the future, although I felt that the other party was a little familiar, but I was not very sure, after all, there were thousands of people in the Taibai secret camp, and it was impossible to know each of them. But after all, the people who came out of the graduation assessment are the first batch of old students, and they still have a little impression of each other, Helian Qishan, as a person who was selected to enter the Taibai Secret Guard from the Taibai Secret Guard, is also a small celebrity in the secret camp, so the secret guard who drank tea in the lobby recognized Helian Qishan at first sight, but Helian Qishan was not so familiar with the secret guard.

However, the secret guard immediately made an exclusive gesture in the secret camp, and Helian Qishan immediately knew that this was a gesture to show that he was the identity of the Taibai secret guard, and only the people in their secret camp knew it. Helian Qishan nodded slightly at the guard, slowed down, waited for the guard to overtake him, and then followed the guard into the courtyard under the bag.

"Commander Liu!" Helian Qishan saluted to Liu Baiqing.

"Excuse me, what about the Cloud Lord? We just arrived in the afternoon, but there was no way to contact the Cloud Commander, and I didn't know which room you were staying in, so I asked people to wait in the lobby and finally waited for you. Liu Baiqing said with a smile.

"We all went out to find out the news, but it's almost time to come back from the appointment, so I'll go to the cloud commander's room and wait first, and then when they all arrive, I'll bring them over, and one by one they will come over to attract the attention of others." Helian Qishan said carefully.

Liu Baiqing nodded, and asked Helian Qishan to go back and wait, and by the way, all the people in the lobby were withdrawn, now that they have been docked, the people on the other side of the lobby don't have to stay over there, for fear that they will face up to the other Taibai secret guards again, and make a few more gestures, although others don't understand what it means, but they all know that the other party is making gestures, so they will naturally pay more attention, so they will expose the people on their side, and the gains outweigh the losses.

After about a few incense sticks, Yun Qing came to the courtyard under Liu Baiqing's bag with the ten secret guards, Liu Baiqing hurriedly greeted Yun Qing to the main seat, although he brought a lot of people this time, but in the Taibai secret camp, Yun Qing was the big commander, and he was just a deputy commander, so naturally the power was automatically handed over, and all the leadership of the fifty Taibai secret guards brought over was handed over to Yun Qing.

Under Yun Qing's question, Liu Baiqing told Yun Qing what happened in Yangzhou from beginning to end, and even told the story of Gongzi and people fighting in person, including Ximen Ba and Mu Feichen and others.

"Childe's hard training for so many years has been fruitful, if he continues to stay in the secret camp and receive my individual training later, it is estimated that he will become even more powerful." Yun Qing said with emotion.
