Hou San told Mu Yuan about the arrangement Ling Yan made to find him before leaving the Red Mansion.
"Brother Ling didn't tell me in detail at the time, and he didn't say he was leaving. I just listened with a confused look on my face, wondering why he wanted me to keep an eye on you and gave me a team of brothers to make me their team leader."
Mu Yuan's eyes followed his words and looked behind him. There were more than 20 people in the Mu family army who came with Hou San.
Hou San saw his doubts and continued to explain: "These people were hand-picked by Brother Ling. They said that they would follow you wholeheartedly at first sight, and they were trustworthy people who would risk their lives to protect you at a critical moment. Brother Ling specifically told me many times that once you leave the Red Mansion, I will take this small team and go straight to the back mountain of the Mu family."
Mu Yuan's teeth bit the flesh in his mouth.
