Looking at most of the familiar faces in the room, Cook Ding scratched the back of his head and showed an honest smile, "Hey, it still looks pleasing to the eye."
Master Ben was filled with doubts, but at this time he was not in the mood to make jokes with the cook, so he hurriedly asked:
"I said, Fatty Ding, we are here, why don't you close the store?"
Logically speaking, when they meet at a stronghold, the chef must close his shop to reduce the probability of being discovered.
The structure of an inn is completely designed according to the design of an ordinary inn. It cannot leave two secret rooms that cannot be found by others as a meeting place - this is to reduce the probability of the cook Ding revealing his identity. After all, the more ordinary the inn is, the more ordinary the inn is, the more likely he is to be the boss. The less noticeable it is.
However, once there are guests coming and going, especially hotel guests who need to go upstairs, Master Ben and his group will be easily spotted, which only increases the risk.
Chef Ding is an old man who has been involved in the lurking industry for many years. Every time he handles the disciples of the Mohist family in Songhai, he does it flawlessly and without leaks. This time, he made such an obvious flaw...
Master Ben was not angry, but worried because he knew there must be another reason for this.
As soon as Cook Ding heard this, the good mood he had just had suddenly disappeared, and his chubby, rough face suddenly collapsed:
】
"Don't mention it, I don't dare to close it!"
The cook patted his belly and looked like he was going to vomit his bitterness.
Gao Jianli asked calmly, "What's going on?"
"Hey! Isn't that a good thing done by the National Preceptor?"
"Gu Xun!"xn
Upon hearing the identity of the culprit, everyone had different expressions, and several of them couldn't help but exclaimed.
Gao Jianli was no longer calm and asked hurriedly, "Why, did he find out your identity?"
"No." Chef Ding shook his head first, letting everyone onlookers breathe a sigh of relief, but then nodded hesitantly, "But it's hard to say."
"Yesterday, he suddenly appeared and went to my small shop to have dinner. He was accompanied by an entourage in black clothes. He was also very handsome."
"Oh, by the way, they look like they have just arrived in Songhai." Cook Ding was indeed dedicated to his job. He talked about his experiences and did not forget to remind everyone in the Mo family about intelligence matters.
"You should know that I met him many years ago and was very frightened at the time. Now that I suddenly see him again, I will inevitably have some abnormal reactions..."
"So he discovered the flaw?" Thief Zhi scratched his chin and interjected.
Cook Ding waved his hand unhappily, "No! No! Don't interrupt, let me finish first."
"Who is Fatty An Ding? Can people easily see the flaws?"
"Although there was a moment of abnormal behavior, I immediately controlled my emotions and did not let the situation deteriorate to an irreversible level. And I immediately gave a convincing explanation."
"At that time, the National Master also seemed to believe it."
"Then you are so scared that you are so virtuous?" Big Hammer, whose mouth is faster than his heart, breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and subconsciously curled his lips and said.
"I told you not to interrupt me!" Pao Ding emphasized again helplessly, while staring at the big hammer with his eyes fixed on the big hammer, glaring at this muscular man who had just begun to take on human form. He was too embarrassed to face him directly and had to turn his face away. , avoiding his eyes.
"Hey!" Cook Ding giggled, and then continued, "Those flaws that may or may not exist are all trivial matters. What really kept me awake all night is that he actually remembered me!"
"Tell me, why does he, a majestic national master of the empire, one person inferior to ten thousand people, still remember a cook who he only met once many years ago?"
When they met yesterday, Gu Xun used the word "huan" when facing Cook Ding who recognized him, which meant that he obviously still remembered Cook Ding.
But is it possible for a great master to remember a cook for so many years?
Even if this cook's skills are extraordinary.
Gao Jianli and others obviously also had this idea, and fell into silence one after another, looking at each other.
After a while, Master Ben was the first to break the silence and looked at the snow girl.
This one knows Gu Xun the best among all of them, and now only her opinion has the most reference value.
"Axue, based on your understanding of Gu Xun, has Cook Ding already exposed his identity?"
Everyone's eyes immediately moved to the snow girl.
The answer to this question is very important now.
If an inn had been exposed, they would be in a very dangerous situation.
The terrain of this city is quite special. It faces the sea to the east, mountains to the west, and is long and narrow from east to west.
Among the four directions, a relatively small team is currently stationed on the east and west sides to guard the city, which is enough to ensure that the Mohists cannot break out and escape quickly.
It only takes a moment for reinforcements to arrive, and they will not be able to escape even if they have wings.
Mountain roads and waterways are good ways to escape, but we can't wait. The current Songhai City garrison has more than doubled, and they are all elites. The sea area has long been blocked, and it is difficult for idlers to get a sampan. .
As for the mountain road... the empire's additional garrison was encamped on the other side of this small broken mountain, and it only took a matter of minutes to seal the mountain.
It was actually a very unwise move for a group of wanted criminals to enter the city at this time, and the risk was very high. However, the Songhai incident, or the mirage incident, was of great importance, and they could not ignore it, so they had to bite the bullet. Take a trip.
This time they entered the city for two purposes.
The first is to find the cook to learn more about the current situation in the city.
The second is related to Zhang Liang.
After the Battle of Guancheng, the third Confucian leader, like other members of the anti-Qin alliance, left alone and returned to Songhai City.
Before he left, he gave the Mo family a tips bag and told them to open it after they came to Songhai. There was a message he left for the Mo family in it.
Translated, it’s a clever trick.
Of course, the tips and tricks he left behind can be used or not by the Mo family.
Everyone in the Mo family just took a look at it, and it was hard to say how to make a specific decision.
No matter what, Zhang Liang's identity is a bit too sensitive.
Confucianism itself did not show an anti-Qin stance, and he was vaguely involved with Liusha.
That is to say, there is currently no relatively clear evidence that Zhang Liang is really a member of Liusha, otherwise he would not have become a member of the anti-Qin alliance anyway - even so, Zhang Liang relied on his clever mouth and enough The value of the company can barely gain the trust of others.
In short, after these two things are initially accomplished, they will immediately withdraw from the city and only retain the necessary strength inside the city.
Of course, for them, the most important thing now is to first analyze what is going on in Cook Ding's business.
If he wasn't exposed, everyone would be happy.
If exposed...you have to think about how to hide.
There is no rush to run away, just as a last resort when there is no other choice.
