Leaving Jingping where the Wei family was, the carriage drove straight to the south city gate.
The 5,000 troops brought by Qi Xu were stationed in a temporary camp two miles outside the south city gate.
However, the Second Prince Huyan was not imprisoned here.
"Master, your horses." Feng Ping led two horses over.
"Miss Wei, can you ride alone?"
"Of course I can." Wei Yunlan followed Qi Xu and climbed onto the horse.
Feng Ping led the way in front, and the two followed behind.
The route did not continue south, but turned west and came to an abandoned village less than three miles west of Beiguan City.
This village must have been abandoned for a long time, with only a few stone-tiled houses still standing intact.
Some people in black could be seen walking between these dilapidated houses. Among them, there were one or two familiar faces. Needless to say, they must be the staff left by Tianshu Pavilion in the North Gate.
No wonder I didn’t see many people from Tianshu Pavilion today, it turns out they all came here.
Just as Wei Yunlan was wondering why this place was chosen, Qi Xu got off his horse and said, "Miss Wei, please follow me."
The two of them walked into one of the standing stone-tiled houses, one in front and one behind.
From the outside, this room is not very big, at best it is comparable to the wing room of Wei Yunlan's home in Jingping Lane, but it is a different world once you enter.
A tunnel entrance that almost occupied half of the room appeared before us.
The steps are wide enough for three adult men to walk side by side.
The entrance to a normal tunnel isn't this big...
"Was this made by the barbarians?" Wei Yunlan immediately guessed.
Seeing Qi Xu nodded to confirm his guess, he couldn't help but click his tongue.
The barbarians actually had the ability to dig a tunnel here.
This place is so close to Beiguan!
This shows how far the barbarians' hands extend and how deep they hide. In the Beiguan City, there must be Yong people who cooperate closely with them.
"Master, Hu Yanmo has woken up."
A guard from Tianshu Pavilion came up from the entrance of the tunnel and reported to Qi Xu with his arms folded.
Huyan Mo is the full name of the second Prince Huyan. The people from Tianshu Pavilion have infiltrated into the Northern Barbarians for nearly a year through the Helian tribe, so it is not difficult for them to obtain this information.
Walking down the tunnel and down the last step, the view in front of us suddenly opens up. A stone chamber that is so spacious that it is almost as big as the Wei family courtyard appears in front of us. There are two other exits leading to other directions opposite.
"Of the two roads, one leads to a forest more than two miles to the north, and the other leads to the direction of Beiguancheng."
Wei Yunlan was shocked when he heard this.
Then I heard Qi Xu say, "The road leading to the North Gate has not been completed yet."
Only then did I slowly breathe a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, it is not finished!
Otherwise, if they could enter the city from outside, the towering Beiguan city wall and the city defenses that had been laid out for many years would all become decorations. Thousands of barbarian warriors could sneak directly into the city through the tunnel and wreak havoc on the people of Beiguan.
"Building an underground secret room and tunnels, such a big move cannot be completed in a day or two. For such a long time, no one in the city noticed it!"
Wei Yunlan frowned. Apart from the problematic Liang family, there might be other forces in the city that would make things easier for the Northern Barbarians.
It was also thanks to King You who arrived with his men in time.
Otherwise, if this continues, even if Beiguan City can be defended this time, it will definitely suffer a big setback in the future!
This spacious underground stone chamber and the several passages leading to it have all been guarded by the Tianshu Pavilion.
In addition to the 5,000 troops, there are Qi Xu's own secret men. Together with the men who had been left at the North Gate, there are about 300 of them.
But don't underestimate these three hundred people.
Each of them has undergone rigorous training in Tianshu Pavilion, and on the battlefield, each of them is capable of fighting one against five or even more opponents.
Only with their skills can they successfully wipe out the barbarians who remain here.
In the middle of the stone chamber, the second prince Huyan, who was chained with iron chains, had been transferred here two hours ago.
At first, his eyes lit up when he saw this place, but when he found that this place had been controlled by King You's men, the light in his eyes was instantly dimmed again.
He struggled continuously, but was knocked unconscious by a palm strike from someone from Tianshu Pavilion, and had to wait for King You to come and interrogate him.
The person just woke up.
The man, as strong as a calf, was not obedient even though his hands and feet were tied by chains. He kept shaking his body, making a harsh "clang" sound as the chains rubbed against each other.
Seeing Qi Xu and Wei Yunlan appear in front of him, he finally stopped.
He looked at Qi Xu with burning eyes and moved his mouth as if he wanted to say something.
"Let him speak." With an order, the guard of Tianshu Pavilion who was standing by took out the cloth stuffed in the mouth of Prince Huyan II.
"Pooh."
After the cloth was taken off, Second Prince Huyan spat fiercely a few times.
The fishy taste in his mouth couldn't be removed. "Bring me a bowl of mouthwash!"
No one responded.
The second prince Huyan's expression froze for a moment, then he glared at Qi Xu and angrily asked, "Are you King You?"
"Is this how you, Dayong, treat guests?"
"The way to treat guests is to treat them as guests." Qi Xu's eyes were cold and his voice was indifferent, "The Second Prince is not a guest. If you are a prisoner, you must have the awareness of being a prisoner."
"you……"
"If the Second Prince doesn't cooperate, I won't stay here any longer." Qi Xu said, and then said to Wei Yunlan, "Miss Wei, let's go."
"Wait!" Prince Huyan shouted loudly.
His eyes glanced around at the guards left in the stone chamber, and then fell on Wei Yunlan, who was beside Qi Xu.
His eyes flickered, and he spoke threateningly, "Aren't you afraid that I will tell your secrets?"
"I saw that flying knife clearly at that time!"
"Heh." Qi Xu paused and sneered.
"Is it worth making such a fuss to release internal energy and capture objects from a distance?"
Prince Huyan was stunned by the calm and unflappable expressions of Wei Yunlan and Qi Xu.
At that time, the flying knife was indeed carrying murderous intent, attacking him. He thought he was doomed, but the flying knife seemed to have suddenly lost its "power" and fell from the sky, with no murderous intent left.
Such a strange thing.
Why does the person in front of me say it as if it's nothing unusual?
Is he really making a fuss?
Or are there too many masters with profound internal strength hidden in Dayong?
Among the adult sons of the Northern Barbarian Chanyu, the second prince undoubtedly ranks first in terms of strength and skills.
But in terms of intelligence, he may not be able to compare with the fourth or fifth princes who have not yet grown up.
Seeing Qi Xu was about to step onto the stairs, he finally spoke anxiously.
"Wait."
"I know what you want to ask."
"That assassin is from our Northern Barbarians."
At this point, the second prince Huyan's eyes flashed with anger, "The one who wants to kill me must be my eldest brother. He wants to take advantage of my father's coma to eliminate me!"
