People are self-aware, Mu Feichen knows that his current value in Cao Yi's eyes is estimated to lie in the Cao Gang behind him, if he is hypocritical and pretends to help each other and finally covets his own Cao Gang, it is better to take the lead in saying the conditions before helping, and what do you want to get after helping, this is to say ugly words in the front, and there will not be so many small calculations in the back.

"Gongzi Cao, what do you want?" Mu Feichen didn't answer, but asked Cao Yi.

Cao Yi shook his head: "You can't afford what I want, and you won't want to give it, so let's change it to you, you come to repay my reward, I think it's okay, then I will help, if the reward doesn't meet the standard in my heart, then I will refuse, of course, you can also slowly increase it." After all, if I help you is to fight with Jing Zhe, who has already controlled the Cao Gang, then I will pay a big price, it depends on whether the reward you give me is worth the price I pay, you can understand when I say this, right? ”

Mu Feichen nodded: "I naturally understand this truth, but now I am already like this, instead of the Cao Gang being taken away by the enemy Jing Zhe for nothing, and I didn't get anything, then why don't I cooperate with Cao Gongzi, I still have the possibility to regain control of the Cao Gang, even if I pay a big price in the middle, it is better than having nothing now, and the enemy is still at large, right?" ”

"So Cao Gongzi, despite your request, I don't know what you want specifically, Cao Gongzi, I only know that Cao Gongzi seems to be using a boat to transport wine for a long time, and I don't know much about the rest." Mu Feichen said sincerely.

"Okay, I know your attitude, but you also know that this matter is not something that can be settled in a few words now, and I need time to think about my gains and losses, and you don't have to rush for a while, in my opinion, the most important thing you need to do at the moment is to find out your father's whereabouts first, to see people alive, and to see corpses when dead. If you live, then what you have to do next will be much simpler, and if you are sure to die, you can also concentrate all your energy and strength to fight Jing Zhe! Cao Yi nodded, looked at Mu Feichen, and said with a serious expression.

Mu Feichen showed a wry smile on his face: "I know this, but I am only alone now, not to mention that I will go back to Xicheng to find out the news, I am afraid that before I get close to Xicheng, Jingzhe's people will find me and kill me!" ”

"Just because you can't go doesn't mean I can't go, you live on my side first, I will send someone to Xicheng to investigate the situation, and I also need time to think about what I need, the more I give, the more I will ask for it, you should be mentally prepared for this first."

Mu Feichen had an excited expression on his face, "Thank you to Gongzi Cao in this way!" As long as you help me find my father's whereabouts, I'll ...... I'll just ...... I will definitely repay Cao Gongzi well! ”

Speaking of the back, Mu Feichen originally wanted to say something to thank him, but thinking that he was penniless and useless now, even if he wanted to thank him, the key was whether he could regain control of the Cao Gang in the future, and he would also rely on Cao Yi's help, so these words were equivalent to not saying anything, and after being stuck there for a long time, he had to change his words and say that he would repay him well in the future.

"Well, you go back first, you can rest well these days, and at the same time plan how to get it next in your heart, even if I send someone to help you, you have to be able to go up yourself, so how much power in the Cao Gang is now on your side, and how many of the elders who were expelled by Jing Zhe are you can win, as for those who escorted you from Xicheng, see how many more can be gathered, these people will be of great help if you recapture the Cao Gang in the future." Cao Yi looked at Mu Feichen, who was young and even a little "immature", and instructed with his heart.

Mu Feichen nodded heavily, said goodbye to Cao Yi and Liu Baiqing, and then opened the door and walked back to his room.

After Mu Feichen closed the door and walked away, Liu Baiqing turned his head and asked, "Childe, do you really plan to help this Mu Feichen?" ”

Cao Yi shook his head.

"That?"

"I'm not helping Mu Feichen, I'm helping Mu Feichen's Cao Gang behind him, if our Taibai Chamber of Commerce has the help of the Cao Gang, then it will definitely be able to rise rapidly, and the development speed will definitely be able to get twice the result with half the effort, no matter how their Cao Gang is, it has gone through nearly a thousand years of development, wherever there are rivers and rivers that can be reached, there are basically the forces and transportation channels of their Cao Gang." Cao Yi looked at Liu Baiqing and explained. The latter also nodded to indicate understanding.

"You see how many rivers and rivers are in Dayan, not tens of thousands, but also thousands, so if we are in the early stage of the development of the Taibai Chamber of Commerce, we can join forces with the Cao Gang, and you already know the benefits, but the premise is that the Cao Gang will cooperate with us, the more they cooperate, the more we will profit, do you think Jing Zhe will listen to us more now, or Mu Feichen, who will re-control the Cao Gang in the future, listen to us more?"

Liu Baiqing didn't think about it, and blurted out that it was Mu Feichen.

Cao Yi nodded and said: "Yes, it must be Mu Feichen, so helping him is actually helping ourselves, but if we help him, we have to contribute both money and effort, and we will make it again when the money is gone, but one less person is really one less, and to help Mu Feichen fight against Jing Zhe and recapture the Cao Gang, the casualties of our personnel will definitely be unavoidable at that time." I'm going to evaluate the possible losses and compare them with the returns we will get later, and see if it's worth it, at what level of casualties we have earned, and to what extent we have lost. ”

Liu Baiqing nodded frequently after listening to Cao Yi's explanation, and completely understood what Cao Yi meant later, but when he thought of what Gongzi said just now, he asked again: "Childe, you just said that you would send someone to Xicheng to investigate his father's life and death......

"This is something that must be done, I always have a feeling that this Mu Hong is not dead, if he is really dead, then Jing Zhe can just let out the rumors, I think that in the case that the old gang leader is dead, the deputy gang leader should not cause so many people to be dissatisfied. What's more, if it is you, you have become the leader of the gang, in the case that the overall situation has been decided, if someone below disagrees with you, do you slowly rectify and regain the power and power in his hands, or quickly expel them out of the chaos and let them escape from the Cao Gang with their living strength? Cao Yi asked.

"The overall situation has been decided, so you must slowly absorb the power in the hands of those people?" Liu Baiqing said as a matter of course: "It's like we won the battle before, in the case of the overall situation, if there are prisoners, they will only stay and slowly train and assimilate, after all, it is also a living force, if it is controlled well, it is also a large combat force." Unless the situation is chaotic, the captives will be killed. ”

"That's right, so Jing Zhe is so extreme or killed, or expelled, it shows that the situation has not stabilized now, to put it mildly, the current Mu Feichen has not reached this level, which can make Jing Zhe so jealous, then the only possibility is that Jing Zhe knows that Mu Hong is not dead, but for some reason so he does not come forward now, he is afraid that after Mu Hong suddenly appears, the people in the gang will turn against him. That's why he thought that instead of having such a risk at that time, he would rather weaken the overall strength of the Cao Gang a little bit, let those people leave, and ensure that the people in the gang are really interested in him. ”

"Son, who are you going to send to investigate? When will it pass? Liu Baiqing asked again.

"People in the past must be flexible, and have a strong ability to act at the opportunity, the key is to be strong in martial arts, so I plan to let you and Yuanzhou take eight good hands to Xicheng to investigate, after all, Xicheng is the base camp of the Cao Gang, and suddenly there are strangers to investigate the situation of the former gang leader, I am afraid that they will be aware of it, and then you will fall into a crisis. Therefore, there must be a high level of martial arts, and there must be a necessary number of people. If we can find Mu Hong and bring him directly to Yangzhou, we will talk to him, which is far more suitable than Mu Feichen. ”

"No, Childe, Yuanzhou and I must have someone to stay in Yangzhou to protect you, although you and the Liu family have negotiated cooperation so far, but this kind of thing is not afraid of 10,000 in case." As soon as Liu Baiqing heard that Cao Yi wanted him to go to Xicheng with Gongye Yuanzhou, he quickly shook his head and refused, saying that he would not agree to anything.

"It's okay, Yangzhou to Xicheng is only a day or two away at most, you will definitely be able to find out something in the past three or five days, if there is no result, then you should come back." It's a big deal, I've been living in the Zhizhou Mansion for the past few days. I can only rest assured if the two of you go, no matter how strong the individual is, I am afraid of group fighting, I don't want any of you and Yuanzhou to get into trouble in Xicheng at that time, you two plus eight good players, no matter what, at least you have the strength to fight, so it's decided, you don't need to persuade again. Cao Yi finally clapped his head and said.
