"Let's discuss the details of the operation first, and be ready to act whenever the opportunity arises."
......
Without saying a word, Cai Yan followed Cai Yong into their tent.
Cai Fu and Xiao Cui were already waiting there.
The four gathered together, and seeing that no one else was around, Cai Yan spoke first:
