After looking around for a week, Genie took the lead and said, "Our entry into the city is not considered secretive. Although we have covered it up, it is only useful if there is an inn that has not been exposed."
"If Gu Xun is really targeting this place, with the efficiency of the empire's elite, he should have blocked all entrances and exits and raided the entire city."
Shaoyu put his left hand on his right arm, touched his chin, and echoed, "I also agree with Mr. Gai's view."
"And I think the chance of Chef Ding being discovered is low. Few people would suspect that a chef who is famous all over the city is a lurking spy."
For example, before he came to Youjian Inn, he didn't expect that this would be the secret stronghold of the Mo family.
Many forces will choose busy inns as secret bases to collect intelligence because of convenience.
Generally, this type of inn is the most ordinary and inconspicuous store in the same industry.
Business may be good or bad, but it must be run in an inconspicuous and unobtrusive way.
Something like Youjian Inn is undoubtedly a high-profile one, and is obviously inappropriate.
However, it was precisely because of the inappropriateness that Cook Ding was able to hide his identity and stay in Songhai City for more than ten years without any mistakes.
"In this case, we should not act rashly, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble." Shao Yu talked eloquently and briefly stated his views.
The words of the two of them attracted a considerable degree of recognition from everyone in the Mo family, and Master Ban and others nodded slightly in response.
Finally, Xiao Ling, who was just planning to come over and join in the fun, also said a few words:
"I don't know how to analyze the situation, but the Imperial Master won't lie. When he said he was here to eat, he was definitely just eating, and he would never do anything extra at the inn."
Because of the benefactor filter, Xiao Ling did not hesitate to praise Gu Xun at all.
However, his attitude naturally attracted confused looks from everyone in the Mo family.
Master Ban pondered for a moment and then asked hesitantly, "I would like to ask, what is the connection between Taoist Priest Xiaoling and Gu Xun...?"
Xiao Ling did not shy away from it and said frankly, "He once saved my life."
"Oh!" This answer immediately caused a burst of exclamation.
Xiao Ling was calm and continued to explain calmly:
"For some reason, the Imperial Master owed me a favor to Tianzong. Later, when I suffered a fatal disaster, Master used this favor to ask the Imperial Master to take action and save my life."
"So that's it!" Master Ben said, stroking his beard and suddenly realizing.
At the same time, the atmosphere in the room immediately relaxed.
If Gu Xun had saved Xiao Ling unilaterally, then they would have to question Xiao Ling's position.
But since it is an exchange of favors, there is no need to care too much... at least, there is no need to worry about it openly.
Xiao Ling was not a serious Tianzong disciple who couldn't read the air at all. He added in a timely manner, "There is no doubt that the Imperial Master has been kind to me, but please rest assured that the anti-Qin alliance was ordered by the elders in the sect. , I won’t do anything I shouldn’t do.”
"After all, to me, the one who owes me the most kindness is always my master."
Master Ben responded with a smile, "Haha, since Taoist Priest Xiaoling and the National Master have such a close relationship, it is normal for us to have different opinions on matters related to him. It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter!"
"Anyway, let's proceed as planned, don't do anything unnecessary, and just wait and see what happens. What do you think?"
The last question was only directed at the other leaders of the Mohist clan. After all, outsiders like Genie had basically agreed on the same message.
Gao Jianli, Xue Nu and other smart people nodded one after another, and the brainless ones like Big Iron Hammer naturally followed closely behind.
So the final result is to stay put for the time being.
Of course, they will definitely be more vigilant.
"Okay, that's the end of Gu Xun's topic. Let's quickly finish what we need to do so that we can evacuate outside the city." Master Ban's voice dropped, settling everyone's minds.
"Fat man Ding, tell me, what's going on in the city recently?
How about it? "
"Oh!" Cook Ding, who was slow to respond, was stunned for a moment before replying hastily, "Inside the city, you must have seen it when you came here. The garrison has been greatly increased."
As he spoke, Cook Ding stood up, picked up the teapot and poured tea for everyone, "By the way, I was just talking about Gu Xun, and I didn't pour any tea for you."
Gao Jianli frowned and asked, "Do you know how many additional troops have been sent?"
The Cook Ding answered the questions without hindering the pouring of tea. He always moved his hands very neatly. "I'm not sure, but twice is at least twice as much. They are all from other places. It's obvious at first glance that they are in trouble."
Gai Nie interjected, "I saw the numbers of the Anxi Zhenjun and the Dragon and Tiger Cavalry on the way."
"These are the most elite soldiers of the Qin Army!" Big Iron Hammer, who knew the most about soldiers, rubbed his head and looked troubled.
The more than twice the number of troops stationed means that Songhai City currently has at least an army of 5,000 troops stationed there, which has an absolute crushing advantage over them in terms of strength.
"It seems that Ying Zheng pays a lot of attention to the mirage matter." Pirate Zhi's expression became more serious, and he was no longer carefree as usual.
"By the way, why did the mirage disappear? I remember you said before that it was anchored at Songhai Pier?" When mentioning the mirage, Master Ban immediately remembered the questions he had when he came here before.
"Uh... I don't know." Cook Ding scratched his head and spread his hands helplessly and replied, "They suddenly left the country a few days ago, and then the empire stepped up its efforts to seal the sea, but the strange thing is that Songhai The pier is not idle, but is very busy every day, with people and boats coming and going without stopping."
The snow girl frowned and continued, "The ships come and go only to transport people and goods."
"The empire shouldn't need to use water to send people to Songhai or take people out of Songhai, so it's most likely to transport goods."
Master Ben knew the art of mechanics best and immediately gave the guess that was closest to the truth, "I think there should be some problems found in the mirage, and the public losers are rushing to correct it, so a large amount of material supply is needed. "
"After so many years of construction, there are still problems. The people of Gongshujia are not skilled enough!" Thief Zhi held the tea cup, slurping the tea that he felt had no taste at all, and found some fun for himself by teasing Gongshujia to mix the tea. The clearness.
"Hmph!" Big Iron Hammer hugged him in front of him with two thick arms. He grinned and said angrily, "I don't even care whether Gong Loser's skills are reliable or not. That tyrant Ying Zheng is too ridiculous. , actually want to rely on a ship to find some overseas fairyland."
After mocking the emperor's brain, the brainless Hammer suddenly thought of something in his heart:
"Tell me, could it be that Ying Zheng used the Haiwa Fairy Mountain as a cover to actually hatch a conspiracy?"
