After Shi Lan left the General's Mansion, she wandered around the street twice in a daze.

She didn't know how much the mirage's defense had been improved, but the city was still quite peaceful anyway.

In fact, Gu Xun strictly implemented the principle of mirage, mirage, and completely separated mirage from Songhai City.

Apart from an increase in the number of freight carriages coming in and out, and a slight increase in the intensity of inspections at the city gate, there has been no impact on Songhai.

Shi Lan didn't cause any trouble even if she walked openly on the street.

After wandering aimlessly for a few times and eating something to satisfy her stomach, Shi Lan rushed to the meeting place she and Shao Yu had arranged in advance.

When she went to the place and took a look, she found that Shao Yu had already arrived.

She didn't stay too long at Gu Xun's place. She just thought that Shao Yu might not be able to handle it in a short time, so she walked around twice - of course, there was also the factor of relaxing her mood.

As a result, Shaoyu came back quite early... maybe she had been shopping for too long.

Of course, none of this is important.

Shi Lan hurried up to meet Shao Yu, but saw that the other person's face was not very good-looking, and he might have bad news.

Seeing Shi Lan come back safely, Shao Yu's face brightened a little and he immediately said, "There is bad news."

"The defense of the mirage has been strengthened. All the empire's manpower in Songhai is concentrating on the port and ships, and the local garrison in Jiaodong County has also been mobilized and will arrive soon."

"In two days, the entire mirage will probably be surrounded into an iron barrel!"

Shi Lan had already learned this news from Gu Xun. When he heard it again from Shao Yu, it was just a complete confirmation, so his reaction was mediocre.

Shaoyu didn't notice, but just said to himself, "Time is running out, and I don't think I can wait any longer at Master Ban's command."

"I want to board the ship immediately to get information."

"No!" Shi Lan immediately stopped him.

"Why?" Shaoyu asked, "If you don't do it now, it will be even harder later!"

"The defense of Mirage has been strengthened. All the personnel of Shadow Guard and Luo Sheng have been invested in it. The Yin Yang family themselves have also strengthened their defense. It is very dangerous for you to board the ship rashly!" Shi Lan explained.

Shao Yu didn't think much about it and just thought it was the information Shi Lan got through his own channels - although in fact it could indeed be calculated that way.

"Then...then it's better to go now than later. The mirage behind will further strengthen the defense."

"Shaoyu, don't be anxious, we can't take risks, we should go back and make a long-term plan." Shi Lan urged.

Seeing Shi Lan's strong objection, Shao Yu thought for a moment and suppressed his impulse for the time being, "Okay, let's go back first."

………………

After Shaoyu Shilan returned to the stronghold outside the city and told Master Ban the information he had obtained, he still insisted on his original idea.

Because Shaoyu went in and out of mirages many times, he developed path dependence and also underestimated the dangers of mirages.

Even if he knew that the Yin and Yang family had deliberately let loose before, he still couldn't get rid of the habitual contempt.

It's only a trivial matter for him to recklessly go up to the mirage again and alert the snake. After all, the Yin Yang family has begun to strengthen their defenses to an unlimited extent, but it will be a huge loss if others are taken in.

Of course Master Ben couldn't let him go.

It would be better to wait for the bandit to come back and let this professional do it. Even if he can't get any information, he can at least ensure his own safety.

Shao Yu was a little reluctant, but under the double persuasion of Master Ban and Shi Lan, he still held back.

It wasn't until the evening of the next day that Robber Zhi finally came back first.

Without even taking a break, he immediately rushed to the mirage to inquire about the situation.

More than an hour later, he returned to the stronghold again and brought back some bad news.

"The current level of security on the ship is too tight!" Robber Zhi panted heavily, drinking tea while talking. Bloodshot eyes were vaguely visible, and he was obviously very tired.

Master Ben stroked his beard, and his brows wanted to be squeezed into a complicated glyph, "You can't even find an opportunity to take advantage of it?"
