In just half a day, the entire capital was in chaos, and guards everywhere were searching for the remaining members of the Wuchou Gang one by one.
The people in every household were so frightened by the battle that they stayed behind closed doors, so before it got dark, only the searching guards were left in the huge streets.
The city gates were already closed, apparently out of fear that Mu Yanxi would take advantage of the chaos and escape.
Nanmuze was really thunderous, and even the surrounding mountains and forests were sent with heavy troops to search, as if they would never stop until the Wuqiu Gang was completely wiped out.
In a small inn not far from the city gate, a dozen men in black gathered in a room on the second floor. No one made a sound, and everyone's face was filled with despair.
In the middle of the crowd, Mu Yanxi sat at the table with an expressionless expression.
"How many brothers are left?"
A man in black next to him lowered his head and said: "Gang leader, we have sent out all the brothers during this period. Since the first assassination of Prince Cang and Master Hou, we have lost a lot of people. Later, all the brothers in the capital were killed." We were summoned to hunt down King Cang, and many people were lost there. After this time, we only have so many people left..."
Another person said: "As far as my subordinates know, our branches across the country have suffered heavy losses to varying degrees. King Cang had already issued an order for encirclement and suppression when he was assassinated for the first time, but that order was carried out secretly. Yes, our people are unprepared, and the people in Huajinglou have been secretly targeting us behind the scenes. Now, we are really in a doomed situation."
"The people in Huajinglou are the most despicable. On the surface, they have never fought or grabbed each other, but they have never stopped making small moves behind the scenes. If Cang Wang joins forces with them, our failure has long been doomed..."
"If we had been able to kill King Cang at the beginning, we would have become the largest gang in Feng Qing Kingdom by now. But King Cang was not dead, and the Marquis who was about to die was also revived. Our plan completely failed."
The black people were talking to each other, and one of them, a tall man, said: "It stands to reason that we should retreat as soon as possible now and stay away from this place of right and wrong. As long as people are still alive, they will definitely be able to make a comeback!"
Mu Yanxi just listened quietly, and then said for a long time: "A comeback? How many years will it take?"
After hearing this, everyone lowered their heads.
Yes, from the establishment of the Wuqiu Gang to now, they have endured so much hardship, visited so many cities, and spent so much effort, but now that they have failed like this, who can be willing to accept it?
Mu Yanxi said: "I have only one purpose from beginning to end. To kill Mr. Hou, Nan Muze stopped him time and time again. If not for this, that hypocritical man would have died long ago. It was he who caused me to do this, and I How can you be like a lost dog?"
The Negroes said nothing.
Of course they knew the resentment in the gang leader's heart, the hatred of destroying the family, and no one could let go of it easily.
"We do want to retreat, but before we retreat, if we don't kill everyone in the Marquis, it will be difficult to satisfy the hatred in my heart."
The man in black next to him said, "Gang Leader, we only have so few people left. How easy is it to destroy the Hou Mansion?"
"If I can't destroy the Marquis, I will destroy Mu Haotian too! If Nan Muze still stops me, I will destroy him too! And that Liu Shengsheng, if she hadn't rescued Mu Haotian, he would have died Haotian is dead long ago, and my plan has been successful long ago!"
Mu Yanxi narrowed his eyes fiercely, "I won't let those disgusting people die!"
"Can……"
"There is no such thing as they want to fight me to the death. Today, I will definitely catch them all."
"..."
When Liu Shengsheng returned to Prince Cang's Mansion, it was quiet. Every servant's face looked a little heavy, as if they had heard about what happened outside.
Xiaotang gently supported her, "Mother, after all, the house is safe. Let's not go out today. The prince will definitely handle the matter of the assassin."
Liu Shengsheng did not speak, but walked back to Qingfengyuan calmly.
Not long after we returned, Aunt Wang hurried over and said, "Madam, I heard that you met an assassin outside. Are you okay?"
Liu Shengsheng shook his head.
Xiaotang next to him was a little scared, "But...
The good prince showed up just in time. If it weren't for him, the empress would not be able to come back now. "
Aunt Wang wiped her sweat and said, "Those assassins are really lawless. They have been suppressed all over the country. How dare they do such a treasonous thing? I hope the prince can kill them this time and save them from running away from time to time." come out."
"The prince has personally taken action this time, and it will definitely succeed. But I didn't expect that the assassin would be the prince. I really don't know why he would do this."
After saying that, Xiaotang looked at Liu Shengsheng again and said, "Madam, the assassin just kept his face covered. How did you see his face clearly?"
Liu Shengsheng was a little tired. She was really not in the mood to explain so much.
But Aunt Wang said with a shocked look on her face: "Isn't it possible? How could the assassin be the young master of the Marquis? Isn't that guy always gentle and has a good relationship with his sisters? How could he kidnap the third lady? ah?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Shengsheng stood up on the spot, "What did you say?"
Aunt Wang said in a daze: "I just heard that the remnants of the Wuqiu Gang kidnapped the third young lady and the eldest young lady of the Hou Mansion, and threatened Mr. Hou to rescue them. You said that the second young master is an assassin. How is this possible? Huh? How could he do something like that?"
Xiaotang was startled, "The second young master is so inhuman, isn't he? Lord Hou is his adoptive father, how could he treat the people of the Hou Mansion like this?"
Aunt Wang couldn't believe it and said, "There must be a mistake somewhere. How could the assassin be the gentle second young master?"
"How can you make a mistake? Your Majesty has personally led troops to arrest people in the Hou Mansion. How come you don't know about such a big thing, Aunt Wang? I think you are the one who made the mistake?"
As soon as Xiaotang finished speaking, she suddenly saw Liu Shengsheng striding out. She quickly chased after him, "Empress, where are you going?"
"I want to relax, so don't follow me."
After saying that, Liu Shengsheng quickened her pace and ran away.
She rushed out of the door in a hurry, but when she got to the street, she didn't know which direction to go.
Her mind was in a mess and she couldn't figure out why Mu Yanxi kidnapped Mu Qingqing.
Isn't his target Nan Muze?
Kidnapping Mu Qingqing can only threaten the Marquis at most, but cannot threaten Nan Muze. Could it be that his guess is wrong?
Mu Yanxi's main target is not himself and Nan Muze at all?
Just when Liu Shengsheng was panicking, a familiar figure appeared beside her.
"Poisonous girl, your plan is really good. It seems that today is the death anniversary of the Wuqiu Gang."
Seeing it was Jing Chun, Liu Shengsheng frowned, "What are you doing here?"
"I have been lying on the roof of Qingfengyuan. Didn't I follow you when I saw you coming out?"
Liu Shengsheng was startled, "Are you following me?"
"These words are really chilling. Poisonous girl, it was you who lured Brother Ze and I there. If I'm not mistaken, you probably also lured the people from the Wuqiu Gang there. You are really amazing. How could you do that? Yes?"
Liu Shengsheng was in no mood to pay attention to him.
But he said: "Don't be so cold. I'm really curious about how a little girl like you managed to get into the Wucheng Gang. Brother Ze and I tried many ways but failed to lure them out. As a result, you easily took their gang leader He was lured out, and now it seems that he already knows his true identity, poisonous girl, you are so smart."
