"Little black mouse~ Ugly~ But its eyes are so cunning~"
Yuwen Sheng hummed a tune with a pleasant, melodious tone, while toying with the wooden box in his hand.
Adjutant Wang Zebang glanced at it and exclaimed in shock, "General, this is Chen Shi's secret weapon..."
"Yes, it was opened by a little black mouse."
"We searched all the top craftsmen in Taiyuan and they were helpless against the Nine-Dragon Mechanism Box. How could she possibly... But would Mo Ye be willing to send a craftsman who can open the Nine-Dragon Mechanism Box as a spy?"
Jinwei Weiyao, her fox-like eyes gleaming, said, "Could it be that we've misunderstood? Is she actually not a Scorpionfish? Isn't it said that the Scorpionfish people hate weak and handsome men the most, and will kill them if they encounter them? But she didn't attack the general just now."
Surely it couldn't be that their general was either unattractive or sickly?
Yes, she didn't use her hands, but she used her mouth!
Wang Zebang suppressed his anger and glanced at her: "Then it's even more suspicious. Besides, according to intelligence, the Scorpion Clan of Julu Kingdom are dark-skinned and have superhuman strength. Who else could be more suitable than her? Perhaps all of this is Mo Ye's conspiracy. He specially sent a rebellious Scorpion Clan member to plot an even bigger conspiracy."
oh.
Upon hearing this, they all suddenly understood.
As expected, the uglier a person is, the more despicable they are. What a treacherous and cunning fellow!
Yuwen Sheng didn't offer any opinion. Instead of opening the Nine-Dragon Mechanism Box to discover its secrets, he curled the corners of his mouth and said, "It's time to catch the mice. One, two, three, four... Where have the most cunning little black mice escaped to?"
Upon hearing the general humming a song with glee, everyone held their breath, for who would dare provoke the living Yama, whose murderous intent was barely contained?

Zheng Quchi ran all the way downstream and, seeing that no one was chasing him, breathed a sigh of relief.
But she was unaware that, in the shadows, a sharp arrow was aimed at the back of her neck, ready to take her life at any moment.
After being startled by the beauty, Zheng Quchi remembered the timber transport plan that had been interrupted, so he turned around and disappeared into the woods.
"Um?"
The target suddenly disappeared, and Yuwen Sheng and his team were interrupted from their sniping operation by her unexpected action.
"What was she planning to do in the woods?"
They sent a scout to investigate.
A short while later, the scout came out to report.
"She...found a lot of vines."
rattan?
Her behavior is getting stranger and stranger.
Wanting to see what she was planning to do, Yuwen Sheng and the others patiently continued to keep an eye on her.
Zheng Quchi found rattan to weave a net.
The vines are soft and tough, and can be used to weave a net that can support heavy objects. However, because the net is too big, she needs to plan each step in her mind before weaving it. She is very fast because this is her forte.
Before long, a spider web was laid out under her feet.
"She's amazing! This net is so big, it's dazzling to look at, but her hands never stop moving." Wei Yao watched with great interest.
Wang Zebang disagreed.
With the net connected, she walked and stopped intermittently until she finally stopped at a shallow beach.
She used the trees on both banks to set up the net in the shallows, and she also found the narrowest part of the river and moved a lot of large stones from the riverbank to build it up, creating a diversion and pressure relief.
"What kind of trap is she setting up?" Wang Zebang's eyes darkened.
"Look, she's going up again," Wei Yao exclaimed.
Yuwen Sheng: "Follow me."
Zheng Quchi was completely unaware that she was being followed and monitored the whole time. She jogged back to the riverbank where the logs were piled up, rolled up her sleeves, dragged the logs, and threw them directly into the river.
Splash—soon, the river was covered with driftwood.
Wang Zebang's face darkened, and he gritted his teeth in anger: "She really wanted to sabotage the camp construction, and even threw away the timber."
He had barely finished speaking when he saw Zheng Quchi chasing after the driftwood, running downstream.
“It doesn’t look like it to me. Have you forgotten the mechanism she set up down there?” Wei Yao reminded him.
"Let's follow them and see."
Yuwen Sheng also became interested.
They followed her back and forth time and time again, until they returned with her to the lower reaches of the river, only to find that the river surface was densely covered with logs.
Some were washed ashore, but most were trapped in the vine net she had set up earlier.
In short, it seems that none of the ones that were just thrown away are missing.
Seeing this, Zheng Quchi was satisfied that the rattan net could bear weight and was not broken by the combined force of the water speed and gravity.
She dragged them ashore one by one.
At this point, she was only a small grove of trees away from the camp, less than 400 meters away, and it would only take her ten minutes to go back and forth.
This is the shortest straight line she calculated between two points.
If it were just manual labor like before, it would take three people an hour to carry a log, and dozens of people would have to take turns every day to meet the basic wood needs.
After scanning the camp that was faintly visible behind the forest, Yuwen Sheng was the first person to see through her thoughts.
"She really dared to think of such a method as using water to transport goods, and managed to move all the timber to the vicinity of the camp in such a short time."
Wang Zebang was also surprised.
"She really risked her life to infiltrate the enemy camp."
Wei Yao exclaimed in surprise, "Don't you think it's strange that she's so small, yet she can so easily lift such a thick log?"
Yuwen Sheng suppressed the archers: "It's a pity to kill such an interesting little black rat like this."
Wang Zebang frowned: "Then..."
At that moment, a loud crash came from the camp not far away, as if a heavy object had collapsed.
The smile on his face gradually deepened as Yuwen Sheng looked over and said, "Look at these rats that were thrown in here; they're starting to get restless again."
