Chen Mu glanced at this cheap uncle and said, "There are many things he didn't tell you, such as the fact that you gave Old Man Xing two taels of silver. He knew about it but didn't tell you."
"Ahem...eat vegetables, eat vegetables!"
Sun Enqi's face suddenly turned red. Was it revealed that he had accepted ten taels of silver and concealed eight taels of silver?
This father and son are more clever than each other!
Chen Mu lay down on the floor with a smile on his face, and casually threw two little paper figures outside to keep watch.
"I don't know what action Jinghong will take."
"Should we concentrate our elite forces to launch a fierce attack, or should we use the terrain to set up an ambush?"
"Or use a mysterious magical weapon?!"
Thinking of this, Chen Mu couldn't help but become solemn.
Or maybe I am not strong enough. Otherwise I wouldn't be waiting here anxiously.
"At this moment, the top leaders of the Jinghong Gang have probably obtained the garrison map."
"The top brass must be gathering together to work together and discuss offensive strategies."
Although he felt uneasy, he was secretly happy when he thought that he had affected the masters of Jinghong Gang with just a little effort of writing.
"My cheap junior brother might also have to lend a helping hand to me."
……
Chen Mu's good junior brother was now dressed in black, standing in a dense forest near the north gate of Qingshan County.
"Master Zuo, are you just going to hand over the Jinghong Gang's garrison map to me?" Cheng Yi's face was full of sarcasm. "Blatantly betraying your master and selling out the interests of the Jinghong Gang, is this all Jin Wuduan has taught you in the past few years?"
“That’s not the case.” Zuo Sheng shook his head: “This is what my senior brother taught me.”
Chengyi was stunned. How come I didn’t know that you had such an unreliable senior brother.
Then he laughed at himself.
But the pot calling the kettle black, I am not a good person either.
He was not concerned about whether the other party had betrayed his master.
"How can I trust you? What if this picture is fake?" Cheng Yi said expressionlessly, "If I fall into an ambush by the Jing Hong Gang, I will suffer a great loss."
"It's up to you. We'll start in five days."
"By then, the Jinghong Gang's base will be empty. Whether you can convince King Chao to help him accomplish this great feat will be none of my business." Zuo Sheng shrugged and said calmly.
"Kill someone with a borrowed knife?" Cheng Yi frowned slightly, then a smile appeared on his face: "You want to deal with that young lady from the aristocratic family. Weaken her power."
"Don't you want to?" Zuo Sheng glanced at him sincerely and said lightly.
"Heh..." A hint of coldness appeared at the corner of Chengyi's mouth.
"It seems that she wants to monopolize all the Thousand Machine Orders."
"The greed of the family."
Zuo Sheng glanced at him with sincerity: “Doesn’t Chao Fang want to monopolize it?”
"I don't think he will give you the Thousand Machine Order."
"Let Chao Fang attack Si Kou Qing, both sides will suffer losses, this will benefit everyone"
"That's how it is. It's up to you what to do." Zuo Sheng turned and left: "This is my chance, and perhaps also your chance, a chance to take revenge on Si Kou Qing."
Cheng Yi stood there expressionlessly.
“It’s a good opportunity indeed!”
In the night, a leaf fell, the sincere figure disappeared, leaving only the swaying shadow of the tree.

Chapter 152 Steady
Not far from the labor camp, by the Bailang River.
Chen Mu didn't know when the Jinghong Gang would attack. He didn't dare to go far when he went out to catch fish and raise Yin Mingsi these days.
He was humming an unknown tune, holding a silver fish in his hand, and the dagger in his sleeve appeared and disappeared from time to time.
The silver fish were quickly processed after being scaled, cleaned, and pickled.
Chen Mu, who had nothing to do, just skipped some balls on the water.
Whoosh!
Puff puff puff puff…Puff!
The small pebble scraped the surface of the water and headed straight for the other side of the river, more than ten meters away. With a puff, it cut off a section of a reed.
"I've already reached the other side! Ha!"
Then he picked up a handful of pebbles and scattered them.
"A handful of stones in my hand makes ten miles of reeds bow their heads!"
As I was throwing with great enthusiasm, a sudden realization came to my mind.
It took a long while for Chen Mu to come back to his senses.
On the gray wall, the throwing proficiency value disappears.
This technique, which was derived from ordinary locust stones, finally reached its historical limit. At the same time, it also had an additional effect - locking.
Chen Mu picked up a stone and looked towards the other side of the river.
In the moonlight, a reed stood tall, swaying in the wind.
The moment the target was determined, all the information he saw with his eyes, smelled with his nose, heard with his ears, and felt with his skin flooded into his mind.
The locking ability works in places he can't perceive.
The information integration and calculation were completed in a flash, and Chen Mu was quickly fed back with an impulse.
He just followed this faint impulse and threw the stone instinctively.
The next moment, the stone appeared next to the reeds that stood out from the crowd.
The edge of the stone came at a very fast speed, lightly touched the reed stalk, causing it to tremble slightly, and then quickly went away.
"He can really hit wherever he points." Chen Mu exclaimed.
The thought started, the stone was thrown, and his idea was perfectly realized.
"Little Chen, your flying knife never misses its target?" Chen Mu sighed helplessly, "It's a good ability, but it's a pity that it can't break armor."
After all, it is just ordinary throwing ability, and the initial velocity determines the power, range and direction of the throw.
It can't penetrate armor, and it can't turn corners.
Chen Mu felt a little regretful.
The so-called locking is nothing more than the best possible calculation and prediction.
The farther the distance, the less accurate it is.
But he soon became happy. After all, another skill was pushed to its limit.
Improving skills and gaining experience, just the moment he reaches the top, can bring him a strong sense of satisfaction.
"If I can get an armor-piercing magic weapon in the future, maybe it can become a magical skill." Chen Mu thought with a smile.
……
He was in a good mood for a long time before he came back to his senses and grilled fish, ate fish, and raised leeks.
The process was almost completed when Bai Miaojin and Cuicui appeared.
"I thought you weren't coming and were all leaving." Chen Mu shrugged, took out ten live fish from the wooden barrel and started pickling them.
"Eat first, I'll do it later."
"I went to meet an acquaintance and got an introduction." Bai Miaojin nodded slightly and greeted him, explaining lightly.
"Chengyi is from Qingfeng Temple. Xiaobai, you shouldn't have introduced him to Shangguan Ji." Cuicui picked up a grilled fish and complained while puffing on the air.
Sincerity? Scapegoat?
Chen Mu couldn't help but pause his movements.
"That guy followed the rebel Wang Chao Fang, and now he comes to see Shangguan Ji secretly. There must be some conspiracy." Cuicui frowned and muttered.
"Just stay out of it." Bai Miaojin said calmly.
Chen Mu couldn't help but narrow his eyes. This Taoist priest was very quick.
After losing his Dao Gu Cheng Ming, he immediately switched to King Chao for the sake of the Qianji Order.
"Xiaobai, you are confused. Just because you introduced him, you have already gotten involved. If something bad happens, Shangguan Ji will definitely make trouble for us." Cuicui looked at Bai Miaojin with disappointment.
"It's okay." Bai Miaojin held the wooden plate and ate the grilled fish slowly, with a calm expression: "He doesn't dare."
Chen Mu came back to his senses. Even the best expert in Nanyang Prefecture was not worthy of his attention?
Brother Mengjiang is so domineering!
"That's right, he can't even beat you, so he really doesn't dare to cause trouble for us." Cuicui realized belatedly.
Yes, the one in front of me is not some cute girl, but a wise and terrifying ghost!
But...are you sincere in coming to Shangguan Ji?
Chen Mu frowned slightly, and he suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Is this sincere Taoist priest going to join Shangguan Ji?" Chen Mu pretended to be curious and inquired carefully.
"I don't know." Bai Miaojin shook his head indifferently.
"I know." Cuicui smiled and said, "He gave Shangguan Ji a defense map, hoping that Shangguan Ji would launch a surprise attack on Chao Fang's camp."
Chen Mu: “…”
This wave of operations...seems familiar.
