Chapter 410 [Overthrowing Sea Anemone City]
Master Mo saw that the little kid finally couldn't resist the temptation and sneered in his heart. All kids are the same, still so easy to coax. He probably won't want to go back later.
The smile on his face deepened: "Okay, let's go."

At the same time, in the eldest prince's tent.
The eldest prince and his advisors were planning to use the herdsmen they had as rafts to attack the second princess tomorrow, when suddenly a soldier rushed into the tent in a hurry, "Eldest prince, this is bad!
"Three of our warehouses storing medicinal herbs in Haikui City were robbed, resulting in a loss of over 100,000 taels of silver!"
The eldest prince Sheng Wei sat up from his throne in shock and overturned the table in front of him: "Are those people guarding the warehouse good-for-nothings? What are they doing for a living?"
The counselor and the soldier who reported the incident knelt down in fear.
"It's mainly because it's so bizarre. It was completely looted overnight. The people guarding the warehouse didn't see a large number of criminals breaking in. Everything was silent that night. The medicinal materials in the warehouse were emptied out so quietly."
The soldier who reported the news had beads of sweat on his forehead. This method of theft was really bizarre. If he had not seen the scene with his own eyes and investigated the situation carefully, he would have felt that what he said was made up.
"I wonder what trick they used to make tens of thousands of pounds of medicinal herbs disappear out of thin air! This is truly bizarre!"
Upon hearing about the bizarre theft in the warehouse, the eldest prince was suspicious, but anger took over. "I don't know how they managed to ship such a large quantity of medicinal herbs away secretly, but I can easily guess who looted my warehouse!"
Isn't the one who needs medicinal herbs the most but has no money the one who is his arrogant and domineering second sister Sheng Yin?
"It doesn't matter how they stole the herbs now. What matters is getting them back!"
"Sheng Yin is really capable. He's been a bandit for so long that he's even robbed me, his eldest brother."
The eldest prince sneered, clenched his fists, and the veins on his forehead bulged. He ordered the kneeling crowd, "Pass the order, assemble the entire army, and launch a surprise attack on Haikui City at 1:15 am tonight."
"I'm going to turn Haikui City upside down and make Sheng Yin vomit out everything she's swallowed!"

Outside the courtyard of Cuizhu Garden is an animal training ground.
The animal training ground was very spacious, and the animals that Master Mo had just requested were now moved to the training ground along with their large iron cages.
After Master Liao was brought to the animal training grounds by Master Mo, a group of jugglers arrived shortly after. They were dressed similarly to Master Mo, some taller, some thinner, and of varying builds. However, they all held something resembling torture instruments: maces, long whips, short whips, and brambles...
The jugglers walking at the end were driving a group of animals, including brown bears, elephants, lions, monkeys... Unlike the majestic animals locked in iron cages, the animals brought by these jugglers had only a rope tied around their necks, their bodies were covered with scars from old wounds, they looked listless, and their bodies were skinny.
One of the monkeys walked a little slower, and was immediately whipped by the juggler with a whip: "Smelly monkey, what are you doing so slow?"
In addition, there were three children in juggler costumes who followed them silently. When they saw the juggler whipping the monkey, they all shrank their shoulders, fear appeared in their eyes, and they all quickened their pace at the same time.
The jugglers walked up to Master Mo, their faces full of smiles. "Boss, you're amazing! The Crown Prince actually invited you to tame the beast this time."
Master Mo smiled and said, "As long as I'm here, my brothers have something to eat. We've gotten to where we are today thanks to everyone's concerted efforts."
This group of jugglers, including Master Mo, consists of fifteen people in total.
They circled around the large iron cage sent from Cuizhu Garden, constantly exclaiming in admiration: "Wow, the animals in His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's camp are very strong. They all look difficult to deal with."
As soon as these words were spoken, someone pointed at the group of obedient but listless animals they had brought in and said, "These old guys were like this before they were sent here. We beat them into submission."
The jugglers gathered together and chatted, occasionally bursting into shrill laughter.
Master Liao took advantage of the time when these people were chatting and ran to Panda and whispered, "First, let the animal friends in your garden pretend to cooperate, and don't confront these old hands head-on."
"Someone will come to rescue us soon. Then we can work together inside and outside to escape the prison and overwhelm the eldest prince's camp."
When Master Liao was in the garden just now, he told Panda about how all his classmates had traveled through time. Panda was no longer panicked when he learned that these time travelers in their class had not only become big bosses, but also had powerful organizational support behind them!
Just as Master Liao and Panda were waiting patiently for the next move of Master Mo's men, another wave of people came over.
Two servants came over with a group of children who were still childish.
The children who were brought here all had panic-stricken faces, with red and swollen eyes, and looked like they had been crying a lot recently. Faced with the unfamiliar environment, the birds of prey in the iron cages, and the hideous-looking jugglers, they were shaking with fear.
The clothes they were wearing were dirty and looked like they hadn't been changed for a long time.
As soon as Master Liao saw these children, he knew for sure: they had all been abducted from foreign lands by human traffickers. There were only eight of them, but they all had one thing in common: their proportions were well-proportioned, their builds were well-proportioned, and their looks were pleasing. This must be what Master Mo had meant by "good bones."
Master Liao judged that there might be children still imprisoned in the camp, and these eight people were selected by Master Mo.
As expected, after the eight children were brought in, Master Mo and his followers surrounded the group of children and looked them over. Finally, without saying anything, he pulled out the child who looked the most childish and the smallest, and pinched his joints.
He excitedly said to his followers, "This child is perfect for performing magic tricks with the golden python!"
"He has good flexibility and is small, so the python can swallow him."
When the child who was led out heard that Master Mo was going to feed him to the python, he cried out "Wow"!
Hearing the child crying, the jugglers became visibly irritated. Just as one of them was about to come up with a whip, Master Mo stopped him.
He took out a piece of pine nut candy wrapped in oil paper from his pocket, squatted down and said to the child in a soothing voice: "I'm not going to feed you to the snake, I'm going to let you perform with the snake."
He pointed at the three children in costumes standing behind the jugglers and said, "Look at those three little brothers. They're also performing with animals. With my training, the bears and tigers have become their playmates. They can protect them when they encounter danger, and you can also earn a lot of money. The money you earn will be enough to pay for your trip back home to see your parents, and you can help them live a good life."
