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

Regarding Yun Qing's words, Liu Baiqing nodded very approvingly and said: "Yes, from the first time he proposed that he wanted to exercise and asked me to practice with him, I really thought that he was just talking casually, or like other rich boys, he was fishing for three days and drying nets for two days, and he couldn't suffer much, and he practiced for three or five days at most......"

Speaking of this, a smile appeared on Liu Baiqing's face, and at the same time, his eyes were also full of admiration: "After all, regardless of cold or summer, if you insist on exercising every day, that kind of pain like us, who has been practicing martial arts for a long time, is a little unacceptable, not to mention the thin scholar like Gongzi who has no kung fu foundation before." But I didn't expect that Childe not only persevered, but also insisted on it for nearly three years, without stopping a day, to be honest, I have never met anyone who has more perseverance than Childe and can persevere, and I have never seen it in other sons, whether it is the eldest son or the fourth son in the Western Regions, there is no tenacity on the little son, nor does he have the ruthlessness of being strict with himself! ”

Liu Baiqing sighed: "Sure enough, dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, tiger fathers have no dogs, Cao Xiangke really gave birth to good sons, especially the little son, who is not only a civil and military all-rounder, but also makes money, and the pattern is also high, which makes people have to admire." ”

Yun Qing also shook his head, and said with a smile: "Yes, can the person who can make Bai Qing you, me, and the military advisor willing to do things for him be an ordinary person?" ”

Liu Baiqing also smiled with relief: "Commander Yun, what new discoveries have you made in the time since the last time the flying pigeon passed the book to us?" This time, Gongzi gave us less time, we only had three days, and at most we would delay it by another day, which means that if we haven't found Mu Hong within four days, we will have to evacuate Xicheng immediately and return to Yangzhou. ”

"Only three to four days?" Yuan Qing repeated with a solemn face, Liu Baiqing nodded: "Well, now there are only thirty secret guards in Yangzhou, and this still has to be distributed to Zuixianlou, Zhizhou Mansion, warehouse, plus two workshops, the personnel are already stretched, and the Zuixianlou will open in five days, and the protection needs will definitely increase at that time, but the personnel are far from enough, so we must rush to Yangzhou before the opening." ”

Yun Qing nodded knowingly, indicating understanding. "We've sent half of our men to keep an eye on Ba Xuyao and Wogu, the two hall masters......

At the same time, in a room at the headquarters of the Cao Gang in Xicheng, there were three people sitting, namely the gang leader Jing Zhe, and the remaining two were Liu Junmao and Wang Haiqi, who were suddenly promoted by Jing Zhe to the two deputy gang leaders of the Cao Gang, both of whom looked very young, only in their early twenties from the point of view of their appearance, but they didn't expect that at such an age, they could become the deputy gang leaders of the Cao Gang. And the looks of the two look a little strange.

Although they are all relatively delicate, and they are also the surnames of Han people, they always seem to have a bit of the shadow of Liao people, but maybe it is a mixed race born of Liao and Han marriage.

Although Jing Zhe was sitting in the main seat in the room, his movements seemed to be more restrained, and he only heard him ask the other two people politely: "What are Ba Xuyao and Woguna doing these days?" ”

Liu Junmao, who looked younger and more handsome, smiled coldly at this time and said, "What else can you do?" It was during this time that they went on a frenzy to buy all kinds of things, wine, jewelry, luxurious cloths, and so on. ”

"Didn't the two of them say goodbye to their hometown? Why are you buying so much of this stuff now? Jing Zhe asked a little puzzled.

"What else can I do? That's what they said, isn't it to tell the old man to return to his hometown, should their hometown be in the countryside, according to me, there are not enough supplies there, so they buy them all here in Xicheng, and then pull them all back to their hometowns to spend their old age in peace. Liu Junmao said with a big grin.

"This ......" Jing Zhe took the words, but he only said the word "this" and stopped, his face was full of doubts, obviously guessing the real actions of Ba Xuyao and Wogu.

"It's almost like this, after all, it costs a lot of money to buy these things, if they really have a problem, they shouldn't spend money on this, the two of them as hall masters, over the years, although they have made a lot of money, but it is estimated that there is not much that can be saved, I heard the people below say that the two of them have taken out the mansion they live in now and sold it, and are now looking for the next home." Now that you have made this plan, it is understandable to spend money to buy something to take home and enjoy, you have been working hard for so many years! Another young man with a more calm appearance, Wang Haiqi, said.

"Then let's relax our surveillance of Ba Xuyao and Wogu?" Jing Zhe, as the leader of the Cao Gang, turned around at this moment to ask the two deputy gang leaders who were a lot younger than him, if it weren't for the fact that there was no one else in the room at the moment, otherwise it would have to cause a sensation, when would the dignified Cao Gang leader already be so groveling.

Wang Haiqi was not surprised at all by Jing Zhe's humble posture, nodded extremely naturally, and said: "You can relax appropriately, according to the current point of view, there seems to be no problem with the two of them, but you can't completely ignore it, you Han people don't have a saying called 'not afraid of 10,000 in case', so we still have to send people to monitor for a while, but the intensity of surveillance does not need to be as strong as before, we can now put the main force on the monitoring and inspection of the convoy and merchant ships out of the city." ”

Jing Zhe nodded, looking like he was listening to the teachings.

"Gang Master Jing, I think those two old men, you can even give a little silver to the two of them in the name of the Cao Gang, and it doesn't take too much, just one thousand taels per person, and it can also reflect your benevolence, you see that you have become the leader of the gang, and even those who are about to retire and return to their hometowns are treated so preferentially, so will those people who are still in the gang be treated well? In this way, you will be equivalent to exchanging a small amount of money for a big reputation, and you can also make more people obey you, and you can better control the Cao Gang. Liu Junmao reclined on the Taishi chair very comfortably, and said in a casual tone.

Wang Haiqi also nodded when he heard this, and said quite agreeably: "What Junmao said is very reasonable, Jing Gang Master, you can operate well in this regard, and then let the people under your hands make a big splash, isn't your reputation in the gang just able to rise up?" ”

Jing Zhe nodded frequently, and sighed secretly in his heart: "One thousand taels of this person is a full two thousand taels of silver, and it was said by your two second ancestors that it was a small amount of money, and it is really the royal family of the Liao Kingdom, and the degree of arrogance is different." ”

"But it still depends on the great help of the two sons to let me sit in this position! Jing has always kept it in mind and will not forget who is a great favor to me! Although Jing Zhe wanted to think about it in his heart, he was still impeccable on the surface, and said flatteringly.

However, Liu Junmao, who was still smiling, suddenly turned cold at this moment, and said: "We have said it many times, it is better to call the two of us as deputy gang leaders in the future!" ”

At this time, the flattering smile on Jing Zhe's face was still there, but after listening to Liu Junmao's words, the smile froze there, and he seemed a little caught off guard, I don't know why this prince of the Liao royal family suddenly started to get angry again, and his face was a little ugly at the moment, so he had to say embarrassedly: "Isn't it that there are no outsiders in the room now...... Don't worry, if you are outside or there are outsiders present, I will definitely call them deputy helpers. ”

Wang Haiqi looked a little more stable after all, and after glaring at Liu Junmao, he smiled at Jing Zhe and said: "Jing Gang Leader actually don't worry, no matter what, you are the leader of the Cao Gang, and both of us are going back to Liao, the Cao Gang still belongs to you after all, you just need to cooperate with our Liao State to do a good job." ”

Jing Zhe hurriedly said: "Wang Gongzi is polite, I still know how many catties and taels I have, no matter what, I will always be at the disposal of Da Liao." ”

"Okay, okay, don't show our hearts, we won't care about you after we go back, and there will naturally be other people to contact you at that time, but you have to remember that since we can let you sit in the position of the leader of the Cao Gang, we can also let you lose this position, and if there is really that time, you will lose more than just the position of the leader!" Liu Junmao looked at Jing Zhe with a contemptuous smile, smiled, and said coldly.

"This ...... Jing is naturally clear, and he will definitely cooperate with Da Liao's instructions. Jing Zhe nodded slightly, with a flattering smile on his face, but the moment he lowered his head, his eyes were full of gloomy looks.
