Chapter 31: A Conversation with Hidden Depths (Part 2)

  Although Gui'er is a martial artist, he's also quite clever. At this moment, he's eager to guess the meaning of Meng's words in order to prove his usefulness to Lu Dahai, so he starts thinking from two aspects: Meng's benefits and the overall development of the war. Fortunately, he has heard many things through the grapevine, and his mind is broad. In an instant, he gets a result.

  Lu Dahai also asked: "Since you say so, then tell me why Director Meng sent you to Huayin County."

  Kui Er pretended to be very particular and replied in a timely manner: "I'm afraid it's Liu County Magistrate of Huayin County who is standing in the wrong position."

  As soon as he said this, Lu Dahai was even more confused and didn't know what kind of hidden meaning he had. But on the surface, he still had to pretend to understand, so he nodded and said: "En en, go on."

  Kui Er didn't know what Lu Dahai was thinking in his heart, and thought it was just his own speculation, so he gained confidence and continued to say: "That Liu County Magistrate is blind, standing on the side of the Prefect, in order to calm down the bandits, he even bribed the Prefect's gatekeeper, but didn't give us, the supervisors, a share. Although we don't care about his little silver, this disrespectful attitude clearly doesn't take us seriously!"

  Kui Er spoke with great passion and eloquence, as if Liu County Magistrate had killed his face along with himself. He seemed extremely concerned about Meng Dujuan. Kui Er slapped his thigh in indignation and said: "Even if Meng Dujuan doesn't say anything, we underlings can't just watch and do nothing. We must teach that guy a lesson to make him know our power."

  Lu Dahai basically understood what was going on and had also achieved his goal of dispelling his own doubts, so he began the next round of linguistic guidance to achieve his ultimate goal.

  Lu Dahai, in order to make things easier for him later on, subtly pulled strings and said: "Indeed, Director Du didn't misjudge you! Now... Chui'er, do you know what this 'showing off' that Director Du mentioned is all about?"

  Actually, Qiu Er didn't know how to play either, but at this moment, it's hard to say whether it's difficult or easy.

  Kui Er had no choice, it was like searching for a needle in the ocean, so he could only think of combining his past tasks, and first bought some time, pretending to be still confident, vaguely saying: "This trick is not simple, but it's enough for that guy to suffer."

  Kui Er's approach was immediately clear to Lu Dahai. He would start by saying a general statement, and then think of one point at a time, expressing each one as it came to him; if discussion ensued and new insights arose, he could add them later. On the surface, his words seemed logical and coherent, but in reality, they were nothing more than a jumbled mess. However, this way of speaking had its advantages - even a blind cat might catch a mouse once in a hundred tries.

  As expected, Kuai Er spoke out what he had thought of first: "The first thing to do is to stir up the order in the city under the premise of not affecting the overall situation, making it chaotic and uneasy, so as to make that guy restless."

  Lu Dahai originally wanted to use Kui Er's power to stir up trouble in Huayin County, but now not only did he not need to think for himself, but Kui Er kept coming up with "good ideas" one after another, making Lu Dahai very satisfied. As Lu Dahai nodded repeatedly in agreement, Kui Er became more and more excited, his thinking becoming increasingly broad-minded, and the tricks in his heart came out one after another.

  When Qi Er said almost enough, Lu Dahai nodded in satisfaction and said: "It's good to be like this, but... you shouldn't get too excited either."

  Kui'er listened to the words behind and knew that there was a problem, so he carefully said: "I am ignorant, please enlighten me, Master Jia."

  "You're not going to Shijiazhuang now, but to Huayin County. It's already under curfew at this late hour, how are you going to get into the city?"

  Kui Er listened and suddenly realized that this was indeed the truth. Once the city gate is closed, no matter how good one's lightness skills are, it would be impossible to get in. Kui Er thought of this and furrowed his brow tightly, feeling a bit anxious again. He slightly opened his mouth, with an inquiring tone, asking Lu Da Hai: "Then...isn't it that we should sneak into the city during the daytime tomorrow and take action at night?"

  Lu Dahai shook his head and didn't respond, he simply picked up the cup and took another sip of tea before calmly saying: "In recent days, Huayin County has been very sensitive to outsiders. How did you manage to bring in over a hundred people? Even if you did get in, wouldn't they investigate and find out about our supervisor?"

  Kui Er was already worried, and now after hearing this, he's even more troubled. The conversation has reached this point, not to mention the unfavorable consequences of handling matters, but if it involves the interests of the supervisor, it would be unbearable. At this moment, Kui Er's mind is in disarray, and continuing with this task is as difficult as ascending to heaven.

  Just as Jue Er was in a difficult situation, Lu Da Hai finally spoke up and said: "You don't have to worry too much either. Since the supervisor has ordered you to do it, he won't make such unreasonable demands."

  Kui Er immediately raised his eyes, and in the dim light, he looked at Lu Da Hai's face, which was pressed down by his hat: "Master Jia, don't you have another clever plan to enter the city?"

  Lu Dahai curled up his lips and smiled, saying: "Of course." As he spoke, he took another sip of tea.

  Kui'er didn't say anything else, and instead looked at Lu Dahai with some anxiety in her heart, wanting to hear the supervisor's clever plan so that she could feel more at ease. She asked in a flattering tone: "So... what's the plan?"

  Lu Dahai put down his cup and plate, and stretched out another hand from his sleeve. Chui'er thought he was asking for money again. But unexpectedly, that strong and powerful hand pointed to Lu Dahai himself, and he said: "This wonderful plan is mine."

  Kui Er's bright eyes scanned Lu Dahai up and down, but she still didn't quite understand.

  Lu Da Hai explained: "The supervisor sent me here, specifically to escort you into the city. Look at this!" As he spoke, he reached into his clothes and pulled out a pendant from a hidden clasp.

  Huang Zixiao knew that this copper medal was very valuable in Huazhou. Because on it were engraved four weighty characters: "Huazhou General".

  Lu Da Hai continued: "Gui Er, take this and call out to open the door?"

  Kui Er saw the ID card and immediately understood. He repeatedly nodded and said: "Alright, alright!"

  Lu Dahai actually had no confidence in his heart, and he didn't know if he could call it open. It was just that General Jia had said something to him before, with his identity as a general, there was nowhere in Hua State that he couldn't go. It was because of this sentence that he dared to make this move. Since Qu Er said it was called open, then it was indeed called open.

  "Just... " Lu Dahai heard Kui'er cautiously express his doubts: "Master Jia openly revealed his identity and called out to open the door, wouldn't that implicate our Supervisor?"

  There must be a flaw in every perfect plan. Lu Dahai's mind was racing fast, and he had left himself such a loophole, how could he explain this contradiction?

  At this critical moment of "one move loses all", Lu Xiao Tian, who was standing behind Lu Da Hai, suddenly sneered: "You don't have to worry about this, General Jia has his own orders from the supervisor, and when the time comes, you will take good care of General Jia's safety, just wait and see the good show."

  Kui Er heard this, and Lu Xiao Tian was so unruly, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, but he immediately understood that this kid must have climbed up to General Jia, otherwise how dare he interrupt like this. However, let's get back to the matter at hand, since there are orders from the supervising official, and the general is personally in command, it's naturally impossible to go wrong.

  Lu Da Hai got Lu Xiao Tian's help with this sentence, and the conversation became more lively. After explaining a few things to note about their actions, he stood up and said: "No more idle talk, we can't delay, let's set off now."

  Kui Er listened, and his eyes sparkled with excitement that Anna couldn't contain. Just as a group of thieves were fully equipped, following orders to pack the soldiers' clothes on their bodies, ready to set off.

  "This matter is confidential, except for Feng Dang, no one else must be disturbed."

  "General, rest assured," said Kuai Er, patting his chest. "Our wind rudder has a backup horse outside the city. Inside the city, we'll just use our feet - not even a cat will be startled." He then gave a sly smile.
