After a long pause, the young boy sniffed hard, "He was also the one who urged us to carve those murals."
The thought that those murals were carved by their own hands filled him with anger and resentment.
The mockery and disdain that the people of Xiliang showed when they looked at the murals were also irritating to him.
They wanted to watch those people being dismembered and chopped up. Everyone was numb, but he couldn't do it.
Jiang Yimian and Lu Cijian exchanged a glance, both seeing the doubt and confusion in each other's eyes.
If they guessed correctly, the Xia person who went to find them and lured them to this place was the Xia leader.
But why would the other party do this, or rather, how did they know that they were not the real Zhou Yiwen and his wife, and that they came to destroy Xiliang?
Just then, a series of heavy footsteps were heard, accompanied by several angry curses.
"Damn it, what happened now?"
The boy tensed up immediately upon hearing the voice. "You guys hurry up and get out of here! Those people will be here soon, and if they find you here, they'll arrest you right away."
Jiang Yimian glanced at the few Xiliang people on the ground, and was about to go forward with Lu Cijian to deal with them.
The young boy clenched his fist instantly and said seriously, "Don't worry, leave this to me."
I will definitely not let them reveal your existence, and I will tell you about some simple routes involving the tunnels right now.
I hope you can accomplish what you want to do, and I also hope my sister can successfully escape.
As he spoke, he glanced at the little girl who was still sleeping on the ground, and a smile appeared in his eyes.
Jiang Yimian raised an eyebrow, wondering how the young boy would handle the situation, when she saw him step forward and pick up the dagger she had thrown out earlier.
After hesitating for a long time, the young boy's hand holding the dagger trembled. He held the dagger without making a move, staring intently at the people on the ground.
His eyes churned with a complex mix of emotions, all of which converged on his face in an instant, but in the end he did not make a move.
But the noise from those people nearby was getting closer and closer.
Several people from Xiliang walked in from around the corner, and when they saw the scene before them, they just scratched their heads in surprise.
"That's really strange. I heard a few screams coming from here when I was patrolling over there, but in the end there was nothing there."
"Who says otherwise? The leader asked me to come and take a look, saying that I should bring the team over quickly, afraid that something might have happened."
"Alright, it must have been those Xia people who caused this trouble. They only got a few lashes, and they've made such a fuss. They really need to be taught a lesson."
The group cursed a few times in dissatisfaction, then wandered around several nearby passages to make sure there was nothing amiss before leaving.
At this moment, inside a narrow room.
Jiang Yimian and Lu Cijian looked at the man in black opposite them without saying a word.
The young boy standing nearby was stunned and froze on the spot, hugging his sister and huddled under a broken table in the corner, staring intently at the person in front of him, his eyes filled with both joy and fear.
After a long while, he called out tremblingly, "Chief Wu, you, how did you get here?"
Ue glanced at him but said nothing.
Seeing this, the young boy dared not speak again, but instead held the little girl in his arms and cautiously stared at the three people opposite him.
A silence fell over the cramped room until Ue spoke, “I will deal with these people, but if they disappear for too long, they will be found out soon.”
This place will be found soon; the rest is up to you.
Whether they are dead or missing, the people of the City Lord's Mansion will not let you off easily.
If you want to avoid their suspicion, it's up to you. I don't have much time left, so I hope you make the most of it.
After saying that, the man was about to leave.
Lu Cijian had already stepped forward, and the dagger in his hand was instantly pressed against his throat.
The man stopped in his tracks, his gaze shifting downwards to the dagger at his neck, seemingly somewhat surprised.
Jiang Yimian stared at the other person. Even in the dim light, she could see that there were no moles on the other person's chin. It seemed that this person had put on some simple disguise on his face at first, and clearly did not intend to show up and meet them.
She only asked, "Why did you lure us here?"
Wu'e paused, a hint of inquiry creeping into his expression. "Are you Tuyuhun people, or do you have some connection with Tuyuhun? And what is your purpose in coming here?"
He narrowed his eyes, completely unconcerned about his current predicament.
Jiang Yimian raised an eyebrow, but did not speak, her curiosity about the man's identity growing stronger.
Judging from the other person's words, it was clear that this person was not Aguzan's spy in Xiliang, but he knew that they were related to Tuyuhun, which was quite an interesting thing.
Lu Cijian frowned, staring at the person in front of him and said coldly, "What do you know, and why did you lure us to this tunnel? And why are you saving us now?"
After a long silence, Ue said, "I just want to see what you're going to do."
"If you intend to destroy this Xiliang City, I'm happy to lend you a hand."
Jiang Yimian raised an eyebrow. "What if we're not? What would you do if we were helpers sent by Xiliang?"
Ue glanced at her, his tone hardening, "I'll take care of you right here."
After saying that, he looked at Jiang Yimian and the other person again, and after a while said, "What he said about the authentic place is correct. If you don't believe me, you can go and see for yourselves."
As for the others here, I will let them be discovered; I will not help you hide it.
Whether you survive once you get out of the tunnel depends on yourselves.
If these people can survive after leaving the tunnel, he wouldn't mind adding fuel to the fire that will destroy Xiliang.
But if he couldn't, he certainly wouldn't risk his own life.
Jiang Yimian simply looked at him and said calmly, "What if we were to settle things with you here?"
U'e just smiled. "Those people in the tunnel should have already noticed that someone is missing. If you kill me here, there will be no one to take you out."
Besides, aren't you going to destroy Xiliang City? I can help you; no one knows these tunnels better than me.”
Lu Cijian merely glanced at him, her voice tinged with coldness, "Do you think we can evade so many patrol teams but still not get out of this tunnel?"
You think too highly of yourself.
Although he didn't know the exact location of the tunnel, he still had the ability to return the way he came.
Neither he nor Mianmian would put themselves in a dangerous situation.
They only enter a strange and dangerous place when they are absolutely certain of their safety.
They were lured into this tunnel, but they also wanted to follow along and see what was going on.
Otherwise, how could they have fallen for such a simple trick?
He pressed the dagger in his hand against the neck of the man in the black hood again.
