"Right?" Sun Yixie said, his small eyes squinting. "So there must be something fishy about this..."
"What do you mean?" Huang Donglai asked.
"For instance..." Sun Yixie continued, "although those bandits aren't very strong, their leader is quite intelligent; he must have prepared some strategies, mechanisms, or hidden weapons like lime powder... That's how they managed to capture those two." He paused for a moment, then added, "Think about it, according to what Manager Li said, Heroes Liu and Zou had just eaten their fill and had a good night's sleep before heading up the mountains, and on the day before, the news had already spread among these three villages... So, if the bandits had spies planted in any of the villages, wouldn't that mean they were prepared the night before?"
Huang Donglai pondered as he listened, "That makes sense! You're really sharp, Brother Sun."
"Of course~" Sun Yixie replied, "I've made my name in the martial world by intelligence, okay?"
