Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Chapter 1368

Upon hearing Qian Jingguang's words, Mai Zhide's eyes immediately showed a look of doubt, and he immediately asked:

"Brother Qian, it's not that I'm deliberately questioning you, but if neither of us is here, how can we set a fire? Are we going to drag someone else in?"

"If that's the case, then our risk is too great. The fewer people who know about this, the better. Every additional person increases the risk."

"Just like you said before, no one can guarantee that there won't be an idiot who comes along and fails to get things done, and we'll all suffer the consequences!"

After Mai Zhide finished speaking, Qian Jingguang nodded in agreement and said:

"That's right, no one can be sure if someone is a fool, so we must never entrust our lives to others!"

"No one can be trusted. Anyone who has been in contact with us will not be able to withstand the torture methods of the Embroidered Uniform Guard and will betray us if something goes wrong."

"So we can't find anyone, but we can use things that even if we get caught, they won't betray us!"

Mai Zhide became more and more confused as he listened, and after pondering for a long time, he still couldn't figure out what Qian Jinguang meant!

What did he mean by saying that even if they were caught, they would never betray them? This was something that Mai Zhide couldn't understand.

Just as Mai Zhide was about to ask another question, Qian Jinguang's voice came again.

"Brother Mai, do you know Dahuang?"

"rhubarb?"

Upon hearing the name, Mai Zhide immediately frowned, then asked in a tentative tone.

"Are you talking about that yellow dog that wanders around our Ministry of Works office every day?"

After saying that, Mai Zhide added another sentence:

"I heard that the yellow dog was kept by one of the craftsmen down there. Why did you suddenly bring up this dog, Brother Qian?"

Upon hearing Mai Zhide's reply, Qian Jinguang's smile widened even more.

"That's right, I'm talking about that big yellow dog! As for why I brought it up, didn't I already say? To use it!"

"what??"

Qian Jingguang's words completely stunned Mai Zhide. Then, recalling what Qian Jingguang had just said, he immediately glared and asked:

"Brother Qian, don't tell me you're planning to send this dog to set fires. Look at the situation now, don't joke around!"

"Who has time to joke with you? I'm serious, I just want that yellow dog to set fire to the place!"

As soon as Mai Zhide finished speaking, Qian Jinguang immediately responded, his expression showing no sign of joking.

Seeing the expression on Qian Jinguang's face, Mai Zhide secretly groaned and even regretted saying these things to Qian Jinguang.

However, at that moment, Mai Zhide heard Qian Jinguang's voice again.

“Brother Qian, you may find this absurd, but I want to tell you that it is precisely because it is absurd that we are most likely to achieve our goal.”

"Because if you think it's absurd, others will think it's absurd too. Who would even think of something so absurd!"

Upon hearing this, Mai Zhide was not convinced by Qian Jinguang. Instead, he sighed helplessly and then retorted.

"I admit there's some truth to what you said, but there's a premise to it all: how do you plan to get a yellow dog to help us set fires?"

"No matter how spiritually intelligent a dog is, it is still a dog. It cannot understand human speech, let alone do what you tell it to do."

Qian Jinguang seemed to have anticipated Mai Zhide's response, and he immediately laughed after the other man finished speaking.

"Of course, dogs don't understand human language and won't let me do whatever I want, but I don't need to teach them how to do things. I just need to use their habits and nature."

"Besides, this is just an experiment. If it doesn't work, we'll have time to think of other methods. The key is that this method is safe."

"Even if we fail, we'll just be a mad dog. It won't attract the attention of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, nor will it implicate the two of us."
