SFS Chapter 411: Blatant Cheating
Chapter 411: Blatant Cheating
After hearing what Master Mo said, the child gradually stopped crying, and the emotion in his eyes changed from fear to expectation and yearning. He sniffed his nose and stammered, "Can I really make money to go back to my parents?"
Master Mo broke off a piece of pine nut candy and fed it to the child. "Of course, as long as you train hard, your parents will be happy that you have mastered a skill."
"And these animals are actually not as ferocious as you think. Look at those three little brothers who have been in my circus for three years. Aren't they still alive and well?"
The child timidly glanced at the three little boys in costumes, then turned his gaze to the golden python in the cage whose head was bigger than his own. His lips trembled, but when he thought about training well and being able to go home to his parents, he suppressed his fear and nodded to Master Mo: "Okay, I will train hard."
Master Mo patted his head and said, "You haven't had enough to eat lately, have you? We give you meat buns for every meal here, and pine nut candy as a snack."
When Master Mo said this, the three skinny and dark kids in juggling costumes all showed a look of sadness in their eyes, with an expression of wanting to say something but stopping themselves. However, when Master Mo turned around to look at them, they silently withdrew their gazes.
When the abducted children heard what Master Mo said, many of them showed the same expectation as the children on their faces. After training hard in this opera troupe, is it really possible for them to go home and see their parents?
"You are lying!"
A little girl among the eight children suddenly yelled at Master Mo: "There are only these three little brothers in your circus. It must be because they are the only three who survived!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the adults and children present all changed.
The member of the circus troupe closest to the little girl, with his hand on the whip at his waist, walked towards the little girl and asked, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Master Mo stopped him and said, "Old Nine, what are you doing? We have only met these kids once, so it is normal for them not to trust us. We need to reason with them and appeal to their emotions."
"I'm here to talk to this kid."
Just when everyone's eyes were on the little girl, two mice sneaked into the zoo, circled around the panda's cage, and made squeaking sounds. No one paid attention to the two mice. It was very normal to see mice in such a large place.
Master Liao's attention was all on the group of abducted children, fearing that they would be beaten. At this moment, a slight sound came from the iron cage where Panda was imprisoned next to him.
Master Liao looked back into the cage and saw Panda, who was sitting on the ground, moving his butt to the side, revealing a line of English words he had written on the ground, which roughly meant "attack Anemone City at one o'clock in the morning."
The eldest prince attacked Haikui City at one o'clock in the night? Then this camp would be empty...
Master Liao's eyes lit up, and he suddenly thought of the two mice that had been circling around Panda's cage. It turned out that the two little guys came to tip off Panda.
Master Liao was terrified when he thought about it. Brother Pan was so awesome. He had strong social skills and could communicate with animals. Wasn't this equivalent to building a universal intelligence network? And one that humans couldn't break!
"Hey, what's written on the ground? What are you looking at?"
Just as Master Liao was surprised and excited after reading the message on the ground, a cold and vigilant voice came from behind him, which frightened him so much that he shuddered. When he turned around, he saw a sallow and sinister face right behind him.
A short member of the circus had walked behind him and saw the line of English words on the ground.
Everyone's attention was drawn to him, and the members of the circus troupe all walked towards Master Liao with the horrifying torture instruments in their hands.
More than a dozen men with unfriendly faces surrounded them with weapons in their hands. Master Liao and Panda were both nervous.
Seeing that he had been noticed, Panda retracted his claws that were about to erase the line of English words on the ground and continued drawing on the ground next to him. By the time the members of the circus troupe came over, Panda had already drawn a bamboo and a simple bird.
The short man who first discovered the scene witnessed the entire process of Panda painting bamboo. His eyes almost dropped to the ground. Then he excitedly shouted to his companions who were walking over: "Master Mo, this iron-eating beast can actually paint!"
Everyone rushed over to watch, and after seeing the stick drawings on the ground, they were amazed. Although they couldn't understand the messy scribbles, they could tell that they were bamboo and birds at a glance.
Master Mo's gaze towards Panda also became hot.
Someone nearby asked in confusion: "Could it be that he was trained by the eldest prince's people?"
Master Mo shook his head, his tone as excited as if he had found a treasure: "It's unlikely. Eunuch Zhang didn't tell me about this. If the eldest prince's people had discovered that this iron-eating beast could paint, its treatment would definitely be different from now. We wouldn't just pick it out for training."
The short man rubbed his hands excitedly: "Now that we have discovered the talent of this iron-eating beast, wouldn't it be a great bargain? Let it perform a ball-throwing show!"
"Just ask a painting master to train this iron-eating beast, and then present a painting of a thousand miles of mountains and rivers to open the eyes of the Crown Prince. Wouldn't that make us rich?"
Master Mo glanced at his accomplices and sighed, "You are a bunch of rough guys, none of you can paint. Now we have to spend money to hire someone."
He said to the short man, "Xu Laoqi, you should hurry up and go to the city to hire a painter!"
The man called Xu Laoqi nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go now!"
【@Master Liao: Li Li, where are you now? 】
[@江麗麗: Heading to the eldest prince's camp, what's going on? ]
Master Liao took a picture of the man called Xu Laoqi and sent it to Jiang Lili: [This man is looking for a painting master to bring into the military camp. See if you can run into him and disguise your identity to create a chance encounter.]
【@江麗麗: OK, wait! 】
Master Liao sent a message in the group, [The eldest prince will attack Haikui City at 1 o'clock tonight. Who of you will send someone to notify the third prince to come and steal the city! ]
【@江麗麗: Received! Xin Che has already sent a Xin family soldier to deliver the message to the Third Prince.】
Master Mo and others were pleasantly surprised when they found out that Panda could draw. The little girl who had just spoken out to expose Master Mo's lie escaped.
The members of the circus troupe dispersed. Master Liao and Panda looked at the line of English words on the ground at the same time. They never thought that learning English could be useful in this way, and they could cheat blatantly in front of these ancient people.
Master Liao couldn't help but sigh, "Fortunately, Brother Pan, your English is pretty good. If Rong Shen, who is poor at English, had dressed up as a panda and written Chinese characters on the ground, we would be doomed."
