"I didn't." Zhuge Yun could not resist but mumble, furrowing his brow.
Ni Hu continued to ask, "You didn't? Everyone saw it, you only arrived after we did! How could that red flag have been placed there by you? Brother Yun, you might be able to deceive others but not us!"
"I did arrive earlier. We waited for too long and I was worried that Brother Wei might be hungry so I went to catch some fish!" Zhuge Yun panicked and tried to explain. The thought that Ni Hu would attack him because he was gone to catch fish never even occurred to him.
Unlike Ni Hu, Ni Biao was much more experienced and astute. He knew that the red flag might very well have been placed by Zhuge Yun and those two with just one look.
Even though he knew, they could not give up in attacking!
They had long since put out the words before this and everyone around them was expecting that the Ni family would win.
