The two were shocked. It was the first time they knew that the ordinary man who had been silently following the third in command had such ability.
The confidant wanted to leave immediately, but the third in command pinched his shoulder and asked him to wait a moment. Then he looked up into the house with a gentle smile on his face.
"You are wrong about one thing. Black Wind Village has never been my home."
My home is in Nanyou.
"Yulin, let's go."

At the same time, the anti-bandit operation made new progress.
When the bandits in Heifengzhai were exhausted by the frequent probing of the bandit suppression army, and could not tell whether each attack was a probing or a real attack, and did not know what to do, the bandits who were on the lookout discovered that a lot of food was being transported down the mountain.
The carts of food were displayed openly in places where the bandits could definitely see them. The bandits who had not eaten enough could not help but look at them with envy, and some even started drooling.
"That's a lot of food. It's enough for me to eat for several meals."
"How many households would have to be robbed to get this much food?"
"I'm so hungry and want to eat. Why don't we just keep killing them? They won't let us go anyway. Maybe we can win if we give it a try?"
In the end, that man's proposal was agreed by many hungry bandits, and soon some of them returned to the stronghold to find the boss and the second in command.

On the other side, people were heard shouting everywhere, "Everyone, pick up your weapons, let's fight a decisive battle with the bandit suppression army down the mountain."
A man working in the kitchen peeked in to see what was going on, then turned around and picked up a kitchen knife.
Then he asked the others, "I'm going down the mountain to fight those people. I heard there's a lot of food down there. If we can grab it, we'll make a profit. Who wants to go with me?"
There were three other men in the kitchen. The first two said they would go, but the last one said no.
He was a tall and strong man. He scratched his head and said, "I haven't delivered food to those prisoners today. I have to deliver food to them."
"At this time, we are all busy with our own affairs, why do you care about them?"
"I think he's just a coward. Leave him alone and let's go!"
After they left, the sturdy man breathed a sigh of relief, smiled, and hummed a little tune as he searched for the few remaining foods in the kitchen.
If the bandit-suppression army doesn't attack Black Wind Village, he, who is used to hiding in the dark, will be able to get close to the boss just because of his delicious cooking.
