Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 1259 The young chivalrous act of righteousness
  Standing on the big tree on the side, Thief Zhi bumped Chef Ding with his shoulder, winked and asked with a smile, "Fat Ding, did you hear that your guy is a spy of the Yin Yang family?"

"Treat me with a hammer!" Cook Ding angrily slapped the thieves back and shouted angrily in a low voice, "What kind of brains do these Confucian disciples have? Can there be such a thing as a spy in the Yin Yang family?"

Robber Zhi was laughing beside him, but he did not deny what Cook Ding said.

When it comes to spies who gather information, the Yin Yang family does have them, and there are many of them.

But when it comes to spies who are lurking in disguise and waiting for opportunistic actions, they basically do not exist.

The lower-level disciples of the Yin-Yang family are not considered human beings and will not be given long-term tasks at all. Only the higher-ups can carry out such long-term latent operations.

But having said that, yin and yang illusions are unique in the world. If there are high-level officials lurking in disguise, how can these Confucian juniors discover the clues?
  They were clearly making baseless associations and making wild guesses based on the little information they had.

After the game was over, Pirate Zhi didn't forget to remind Cook Ding, "Of course it's nonsense that the Yin Yang family is a spy, but you have to be careful. There's most likely something wrong with this guy like you."

"Tsk..." Cook Ding touched his head and smacked his mouth in embarrassment, "Don't worry, I know."

"Actually, I have discovered that Shi Lan's recent state is not quite right..."

"What, did you find anything?" Thieves Zhi turned his head and asked.

"Hmm... no." Cook Ding shook his head, "When he was not at the inn, he was either wandering around the streets of Songhai doing nothing, or he disappeared into the forest. How could I keep an eye on him?"

"It's just that his behavior these past few days has been extra unusual."

"Although he would disappear in the past, people would usually come to the inn and finish their work before leaving. But these days, he will disappear completely for a whole day or half a day from time to time."

"It feels like..."

"It's like something suddenly took up a lot of his extra time." Tao Zhi squinted and helped Cook Ding complete the rest.

"Yes, yes!" Chef Ding also agreed with this and nodded in response.

Thief Zhi rolled his eyes, waved his hands indifferently and said, "None of this is important. What matters now is, who do you think he is coming for?"

"Like these Confucian disciples said, aiming at the Mohist family and Xiaoshengxian Village?"

"Or...do you have another goal?"

If Shi Lan's goal was only Little Saint's Village, and he was trying to find a way to enter Youjian Inn because he was just focusing on the close relationship between Cook Ding and Little Saint's Village, then it wouldn't be a big deal for the Mo family.

After all, he is just a waiter at the inn. No matter what trouble he makes, the impact on Youjian Inn will be extremely limited - the worst that can happen is that Little Shengxian Villa will no longer order food from Youjian Inn.

Although this loss is not small, to the Mohist family at this time, it can only be regarded as a trivial matter and insignificant.

But if his target is not Confucianism, or more than Confucianism, then it can hardly be said to be a pure coincidence that he happens to be hiding in a secret stronghold belonging to the Mohist family...

"...I don't know." Pao Ding looked up at Shi Lan, who was being forced to prove his innocence, and shook his head with complicated eyes, "But I think it's not the worst possibility you think."

The worst possibility, of course, is that Shi Lan also has plans for the Mo family and already knows the actual relationship between the inn and the Mo family.

However, Chef Ding was not willing to assume the worst case scenario. He had a certain degree of trust in Shi Lan, otherwise he would not have been allowed to see Master Ban and others who had removed their disguises.

This is not because of how much Cook Ding admires Shi Lan, or because the friend who sent Shi Lan to the inn through his connections is very respectable with Cook Ding, but because the other party is too conspicuous!

If he was an espionage agent with a secret mission, his usual behavior would be too conspicuous!

He was almost here to let people know that he had a problem, so much so that he even carved the four characters "I have a problem" on his forehead.

This does not mean that spies must be extremely qualified and be omnipotent by pretending to be lurking, but the question is which organization is so ambitious as to send a stupid piece of scrap metal to deal with the two most prominent schools in the world?
  Who gave it the courage? If Shi Lan is really going to be detrimental to the Mo family, the most likely reason is that he may want to do the opposite and use a trick to fool them.

Whether this idea of ​​considering the most dangerous place as the safest place is reliable or not can only be said... it depends on the opinion of different people.

After all, to put it bluntly, whether this method is effective or not is just like the buyer evaluation of a parachute. In theory, there will be no negative reviews. Those who have used it generally say it is good.

Anyway, Cook Ding felt that he would never use such a stupid method.

Thief Zhi was obviously aware of Shi Lan's behavior during this period. He touched his chin and nodded unconsciously, "Your idea makes sense. This little guy's behavior really doesn't look like..."

"Anyway, keep an eye on me more from now on."

Cook Ding didn't reply, just nodded.

His gaze returned to the flat ground below.

Facing the aggressiveness of Xiaopang and others, Tianming hesitated.

He had no intention of bowing to the evil forces, but he also knew that he could not defeat a large group of people on the opposite side. Shi Lan behind him was just an inn boy, and his combat effectiveness was at most that of a goose.

This wave of advantage is not mine!

Therefore, Tianming decided to argue first.

So he turned around and faced Shi Lan, "Shi Lan, then stretch out your hand to prove your innocence and leave these scoundrels speechless!"

"Hmph!" Hearing Tianming call them scoundrels again, the little fat man couldn't help but groaned, but considering that he could expose the spy in front of him immediately, he didn't care too much.

Shi Lan raised her eyes slightly and glanced at everyone. She still didn't say a word, but she still raised her right hand in cooperation and turned it over to reveal her palm.

Smooth and clean, not a trace of dust or dirt visible.

"Look! Isn't it true?" Tianming immediately turned around, pinched his waist and shouted to the other side.

The little fat man was not in a hurry and said with a cold snort, "There's another one too!"

Shi Lan still cooperated as usual, raised her left hand and turned it over. It was exactly the same as her right hand, white and smooth, as if it had just been washed.

Only behind the back that no one noticed, some small crystal clear debris mixed with a hint of cold air fell to the ground.

"Haha!" Tianming turned his head and glanced, burst out laughing, and pointed at the Confucian disciples opposite, "Look! Is there anything there?"

"Tell me, is there something!!!"

Facing the frustrated Tianming, the little fat man's face became obviously gloomy.

At this point, it doesn't matter whether Shi Lan is a spy of the Yin Yang family or not. He, the fat man, must not be embarrassed!
  With a wave of his hand, the little fat man said forcefully, "This must be the Yin Yang family's witchcraft, a blinding trick!"

"Come here, catch him!"

The little fat man was a person of status after all. With an order, more than a dozen Confucian disciples swarmed forward without hesitation, intending to knock down Tian Ming and capture Shi Lan.

Seeing the enemies surrounding him, Tian Ming tensed up his muscles nervously. He knew that he might be beaten severely, but he also knew that there was no way out at this moment, so he still bravely charged forward.

We should hoe the strong and support the weak, and speak out for justice. There is no reason to give up halfway!
