Chongsan knew that he and Ah Qi had been careless. If they had remembered to remove the guard at the bottom entrance before stopping the ship, this situation might not have happened.

He followed closely behind the henchmen, his heart filled with regret. If the secret hidden in the base warehouse was discovered, the consequences would be disastrous. But it was too late to regret now.

"Open the door of the bottom warehouse." The little minion acted like a domineering second-in-command. The guard looked hesitantly at Chongsan who was following closely behind him, and Chongsan's heart suddenly rose to his throat.

He quickly stepped forward and tugged at the minion's arm, pretending to be affectionate and saying, "It's pitch black down there, with just some miscellaneous stuff piled up. There's nothing worth seeing. Let's go up to the second floor first. Maybe the adults will come looking for us." He tried to use words to guide the minion to leave, but the minion was not moved at all.

"It's enough for us adults to take a look!" Unexpectedly, the little follower refused to listen and directly shook off Chongsan's hand. Instead, he became curious about the bottom warehouse.

He winked at Chongsan and said, "Did you rob someone somewhere? Are there good things hidden underneath?" The eyes of the minions were filled with greed and suspicion, which made Chongsan even more nervous.

The minion turned to look at the guard again, put on a serious expression, and said seriously: "What, I can't watch?" The guard was so overwhelmed by the minion's momentum that he dared not speak and could only shake his head helplessly.

Chongsan could only nod to the guards, his right hand immediately reaching for his sleeve pocket, where the drug the young lady had prepared for them was. They had already agreed not to touch it lightly, as it might cause even greater trouble. But given the current situation, there was no need to worry.

What would happen after using it? My path forward might be blocked. Chongsan didn't even dare to think about it.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and decided to go all out. He secretly told himself that no matter what, he must not let the minions discover the secret of the bottom warehouse.

The door opened, and the little guy put his foot down, then took a few slow steps. Chongsan also took his first step, his hand tightly gripping the packet of drugs. His heart was pounding, and his palms were sweaty.

As soon as he took the second step, he was ready to open the medicine bag at any time, and even raised his hand behind him.

"Ouch! It hurts!"

There was a thud in his chest, a blow. Unsure of the cause, but knowing it wasn't a sharp weapon, Chongsan quickly retracted his foot.

But he heard the voice of the minion: "Get out! Get out." The voice was very urgent, and Chongsan's heart sank again.

He was struck in the chest by a small minion's iron hammer, nearly spilling his medicine powder, but he managed to hold it in. He clutched his chest, a pained expression on his face, his mind racing with thoughts of what to do next.

What's going on? Why did the little guy come back? Chongsan's heart suddenly jumped into his throat. Could it be that he discovered something fishy and was going to report it to the person on the second floor?

He saw the minion return to the top step in a few steps, so he quickly blocked the doorway and did not move away. He held the packet of medicine in his palm and held the door frame with the other hand. He asked calmly, "Why did the official come up here? I was just about to go down and take a look." He tried to make himself look indifferent, but he was extremely nervous in his heart.

"There's nothing here, it's smelly and dark, what's there to see? Let me out quickly." The minion pushed Chongsan's hand away, and Chongsan took the opportunity to let go of one hand and stood on the other side of the door.

The little minion stepped out of the hatch, and Chongsan didn't dare to stop him forcefully, let alone show off his skills. He really looked at the little minion's face, which was indeed full of disgust when he spoke just now. After he got on the deck, he breathed a long sigh of relief, as if he had been tortured below.

He made a few more "Pooh" sounds and said, "I can hardly breathe. It's so unlucky!" The minion didn't make any other moves after he said that, and had no intention of going to the second floor.

He lay on the railing of the boat again, raised his head towards the surface of the river, took a few deep breaths, paused for a while, and then turned around to look at Chongsan.

Chongsan tightened the powder in his hand again. He didn't know what the minion would do next.

However, the little guy only glanced at Chongsan, then glanced at the guard who was closing the door, and then turned his eyes to the other side of the deck.

In the corner were two large water tanks, and next to the water tanks was a large basin of wild boar meat and a large basin of fish. The little minion's intentions were too obvious, his eyes were full of greed, and he couldn't move his eyes away.

Seeing this, Chongsan's heart finally settled down, and he stuffed the things in his hand back into his sleeve pocket. He breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the little minions were only attracted by the food and had not discovered the secret of the bottom warehouse.

It’s just that why they didn’t notice it, or why they didn’t think it was unusual after they discovered it, Chongsan has no time to investigate it now.

He quickly adjusted his mood and then leaned over: "Sir, this is delicious! Wild boar meat stewed with some spices is fat but not greasy, much better than domestic pigs. The fish in this river is also good, no matter how you fry or boil it, it is sweet and refreshing, without any fishy smell.

How about I bring some up to the officials so they can have a taste of it." He said this while putting on an enthusiastic look, trying to divert the attention of the minions.

The minions were very pleased with Chongsan's understanding, but he put on a serious face and walked towards the plank pretending to be nonchalant, saying as he walked, "There are only seven or eight of us, don't bring too much, we can't finish it!" After that, he strode off the boat, looking very calm and unconcerned.

Chongsan watched the little minions leave and breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that he had gotten away with it this time, but he must not be so careless next time.
