"I'll do it." Shi Lan opened his mouth and took over the job, "According to my observations these days, the laborers transporting materials will not be inspected individually, and we don't need too elaborate disguises."
"But..." Shi Lan looked at Tianming, "It's just that Tianming's height is a bit troublesome."
Shaoyu's body is relatively strong, and there is a gap in height compared to adults, but not too big. It's no problem to pretend to be short.
Shi Lan is a girl, and she already developed early. She also belongs to the category of exceptionally well-developed, and her height is not worse than that of Shao Yu, so there is no problem.
Only Tian Ming, he has been growing very fast recently, but no matter how fast he is, he can't suddenly grow taller. No matter how he pretends, he won't look like an adult... unless he is raised.
Tianming doesn't really care about being called short, because he's just not old yet, and he will definitely not be short in a few years.
But this problem is really difficult for him to solve.
"What...what should I do?" He looked at his two friends with a grimace and asked helplessly.
Shao Yu grinned happily when he heard this and deliberately teased him, "How about you stand on stilts?"
Tianming's height needs to be increased by at least three inches to be suitable. This cannot be achieved by simply padding.
"Walking on stilts?" Tianming's face darkened, and he choked back angrily, "Then how can I act!"
Although they could temporarily remove the stilts after getting on the boat, they had to disguise themselves as laborers to get on the boat, so they had to move things.
With his current skills, Tian Ming could do it by forcefully transporting supplies on stilts, but it was almost impossible to make it completely invisible to others.
Shaoyu also knew that this plan was definitely unreliable, but... what should he do?
"Instead of walking on stilts, how about making a three-inch thick shoe sole?" He proposed a solution that is easiest to think of in theory.
Tian Ming couldn't help but bared his teeth, scratched his head and muttered, "If it's a hard raise... it's okay if I force it. If I'm careful then, people won't be able to tell anything is wrong."
"But...it's not okay if the shoes are too conspicuous!"
Autumn has just begun at this time, and the weather is starting to get cooler, but it’s not very cool yet.
Those laborers did strenuous work, so they mostly wore short clothes, and their limbs were basically exposed.
They needed to disguise themselves in the morning, and they didn't have to dress so coolly, but it obviously wouldn't work if they wrapped themselves up in three layers and were airtight.
The soles of the shoes are too thick and can easily be seen at a glance.
Shao Yu thought about it. He couldn't hide it no matter what, so he simply waved his hand and said, "Then just let Shi Lan and I do this, and don't get involved."
"That's right. Keep an eye on the class masters and the others to prevent us from being thrown away."
"Hey..." Tianming grinded his teeth in frustration, but he really had no choice but to look at Shi Lan, "Shi Lan, what can you do?"
"This..." Shi Lan thought for a moment, and with their ability in disguise, there really was no solution.
No matter how you increase the height of Tianming, there will be conspicuous flaws in the appearance, which will make people notice that something is wrong.
However, there are so many disguise masters in the world, and the legendary black jade unicorn can even change its shape in a thousand ways, which shows that this master must have a unique secret method to change his height.
If they can learn the trick, this problem will be solved.
So the question is, do they know any disguise master?
Shi Lan thought for a moment, there seemed to be... not a single one in the friendly camp!
How come those who are good at disguise are all enemy soldiers!?
Shi Lan did some calculations and found that his method didn't work either, so he could only say to Tianming:
"Perhaps... you can ask the seniors of the Mo family for help."
Although the Mohist family is not good at the art of disguise, the Mohist family is good at the art of mechanism.
Although there are not many similarities between the two, they are both considered to be strange and ingenious, and the Mohist family may have some good ideas.
Tianming rolled his eyes when he heard this.
He didn't think that Master Ban and the others could do nothing. After all, the mechanism skills of the Mohists and Gongshujia could often go beyond what the word "organ" could cover.
His non-attack skills all have a big wheel shape. Maybe Master Ben can provide him with some ways to increase his height.
The problem is that we can’t talk to Master Ben and the others about this!
"Old Man Ban and the others still strictly prohibit me from going to the mirage. I have to hide this from them." He explained to Shi Lan.
"Then..." Shi Lan heard this and wanted to persuade Tianming and the others not to take risks with him.
When she opened her mouth, Shaoyu knew what she wanted to say and interrupted her directly:
"You have so many clever ideas, just think of a way to prevent Master Ben and others from guessing what you want to do."
Xiang Liang also knew that they were not allowed to board the mirage, but Shao Yu didn't hold back at all when he took the job.
Because he doesn't need to tell everything about what he wants to do, he only needs to tell Master Fan that he wants to know about the Xiang family's relationship network in Songhai City, and he can get the information he wants.
If he contacted them privately, he would be able to bypass Xiang Liang and the others.
Shaoyu has gradually taken over all aspects of power of the Xiang clan, and Fan Zeng and others will not find it strange.
In comparison, it would be much more troublesome for Tianming to achieve his goal without telling Master Ban, but it was not completely impossible.
After all, what Tianming wants is to increase his height without trace, and this matter cannot be directly related to sneaking into the mirage.
"Hmm..." Tianming pursed his lips and thought about it for a moment. He felt that he really couldn't give up this plan directly, so he reluctantly nodded, "That's right. I'll go back and think of a solution."
"You two come first, I'll get it done as soon as possible."
Seeing that Tian Ming and Shao Yu had already discussed it, Shi Lan could only swallow back what she was going to say and changed her words, "Tian Ming, just do your best. If it doesn't work, forget it."
"Don't worry, I have the best way to deal with Mr. Ban." Tianming replied absently, waving his hand.
"Let's go, it's time to make preparations. Time is quite tight." Shao Yu waved to the two of them to leave.
Then the three of them divided into three groups. Shi Lan went to prepare things for disguise, Shao Yu went back to the Xiang clan's stronghold to gather information, and Tianming returned to the Mo family's stronghold to try to deceive Master Ban.

………………
When the three of them left Songhai Port, Gu Xun was sitting by the window of a high-rise restaurant next to the port, looking at the hidden corner where the three of them were hiding.
After the three of them left completely, Gu Xun's attention returned to the food on the table.
The happiest time for him every day is when he is eating and sleeping.
Because these two periods are the most relaxing and relaxing times.
In a few years, he will be able to feel relaxed all day long after he has dealt with all the disturbing worldly matters.
It's a pity that I can't relax now, I can only steal half a day's leisure.
Zhang Han sat on the side of Gu Xun and was not very interested in the food on the table. He was more concerned about the three sneaky boys.
"Sir, the three of them..."
"Send someone to keep an eye on them, but don't interfere with any of their actions." Gu Xun happily took a sip of wine and then gave the order lightly.
"Are you just watching?" Zhang Han couldn't help but confirm again and again.
Gu Xun told him before that there must be no more problems in Mirage during this period, but now he said that he would indulge Tianming and others...
Does this mean that Tianming and the others can't cause any trouble at all?
Zhang Han couldn't guess, and he didn't want to just rely on guessing, so he simply asked directly.
Gu Xun didn't care about Zhang Han's 'talkativeness', and replied while eating, "Yes, just watch, don't do anything, unless they are going to die - it is the situation where they are really going to die, not simply
encounter danger.”
After Zhang Han hesitated for a while, he finally said nothing more and just nodded and accepted the errand.
The identities of the three people in Tianming are very special, especially Tianming himself, who is the target of His Majesty the Emperor's personal orders to be captured alive, and has received the focus of Liusha and the Yinyang family at the same time.
In addition, the three of them had boarded the mirage before and lurked deep there for many days.
Even if such a group of dangerous elements didn't look like they were capable of causing harm, Zhang Han would never let them get close to the mirage again.
But now that Gu Xun has spoken, he can only obey. At most, he will arrange for people to step up efforts to dig out the secrets that may be hidden in the three of them - but this task is difficult to produce results.
He had already checked all the relevant information about Tianming and the others, and the follow-up investigation has been ongoing.
Zhang Han had long noticed that there was something wrong with this child, but when he was asked to tell him what the problem was, he always had nothing to say.
He didn't think he could find out Chou Yinmao now.
However, at this juncture, although Zhang Han did not dare to have any objections to Gu Xun's order, he could still make indirect inquiries.
"Sir, if we don't deal with it, if there is a commotion in the Yin Yang family, how should we deal with it?"
"The Yin Yang family will not cause any commotion." Gu Xun gave an answer that shocked Zhang Han without hesitation.
According to this statement, the Yin and Yang family will have two reactions to the actions of Tianming and the others - no reaction, and no reaction.
First, the little moves of the three people were completely undetectable.
If it is not discovered, it means it does not exist, and there will naturally be no reaction to things that do not exist.
Secondly, the Yin and Yang family will find abnormalities, but will not do anything to deal with them, or will not do anything to deal with them openly.
Failure to deal with it means that they are acquiescing to it, and there is no need to react to what they acquiesce to.
If it's the first possibility... well, in Zhang Han's opinion, the first possibility basically doesn't exist.
He admitted that the three people in Tianming and Tianming had experienced qualitative changes after struggling in the mirage, but after all, the time was too short and they did not have time to completely grow and transform, and they were still very immature in doing things.
Although I don't know what they plan to do or how to do it, the chance that they won't cause problems is almost zero.
And even if their plan goes well, the possibility of completely hiding it from the Yin Yang family is slim.
If they could really keep the Yin Yang family in the dark, Zhang Han could only think of one possibility - Gu Xun would personally cover it up for them.
If this is the case, it means that Gu Xun is not only indulging the actions of Tianming and others, but also intends to secretly promote everything.
How many secrets are hidden behind this, Zhang Han... can't see through it, and he doesn't dare to look at it.
And if the second possibility is the one that Zhang Han thinks is more likely, it means that the actions of Tianming and others are in line with the interests of the Yin Yang family.
At least it is in line with the interests of the top executives of the Yin and Yang family above the mirage at this time.
And on this point, Gu Xun and the Yin Yang family reached a silent understanding.
If this is the case, then the secret hidden behind it is worth pondering.
Seeing Zhang Han's wild thoughts, Gu Xun still opened his mouth to give him a few words of advice:
"With your identity and the responsibilities you bear, you really need to think more about everything."
"But you also know that you shouldn't have too much curiosity in this profession."
"As for how to grasp the boundary between curiosity and thoughtfulness, you should have your own experience after being the leader of the Shadow Guard for so many years."
After hearing these words, Zhang Han's face tightened, he stood up quickly, bowed and apologized:
"The general has overstepped his bounds. Please punish me!"
Gu Xun raised his hand and pressed it, frowning and ordered in a deep voice, "When you are eating, you should look like you are eating. Sit down!"
Zhang Han did not dare to disobey and quickly sat down obediently.
Gu Xun then said, "I'll emphasize it to you one last time - before setting sail from the mirage, don't think too much about anything, and don't do anything too much. Just complete your duties according to my orders, that's enough!"
"You shouldn't worry about things on that ship, and you don't need to worry about it."
"I will not harm you, and the emperor will not harm you. As long as you don't harm yourself, you will be fine."
"Understand?"
Zhang Han nodded repeatedly, with cold sweat covering his forehead.
Gu Xun couldn't have said it more clearly this time, and Zhang Han finally realized that he had been going the wrong way all this time.
Because he was overly concerned about the possible power struggle between Gu Xun and the emperor, he was too curious about information from all parties during this period.
He was always worried about being implicated in something and being involved in the power struggle among the top leaders of the empire, so he wanted to find out everything.
But for people like him, knowing too much is not a good thing, and asking about everything is a big taboo.
Knowing what he should know and what he should not know is one of his most important survival principles.
Now, he has seriously violated this rule.
According to his previous code of conduct, he would not ask more about the mirage and wished he could hide far away.
What Gu Xun wants to do, what the emperor wants to do, and what the Yin Yang family wants to do are not his responsibility.
He only needs to track down what conspiracy the anti-Qin forces are planning.
Apart from that, the only other question he could ask was whether the Qinglong Project should be reported to the emperor.
This is his duty. As long as the emperor and Gu Xun don't want to target him, there will be nothing wrong with whatever they do.
Worrying about other things is just adding weight to the scale. Not only will it give his enemies a handle against him, but if the weight is too much, the emperor and Gu Xun will also have to deal with him.
Fortunately, Gu Xun's reminder finally made him wake up in time, and he did not really let himself fall into the quagmire from which he could not escape.
Gu Xun felt relieved after seeing that his mind was finally back to normal.
He and Zhang Han have known each other for so many years, and of course he doesn't want to see Zhang Han tricking him to death because his brain suddenly went crazy.
Although the chance of being tricked to death is low, if you don't get the hang of it all the time, you will suffer a big loss.
After all, having more things to do is worse than having less to do. A little peace is always a good thing.
