Speaking of this, he took a few breaths and then said, "As a result, while wandering around the room, I accidentally found the entrance to a secret passage. I was thinking about whether there was a good treasure hidden underneath, so I plucked down. Who knew that I followed the secret passage and left the road, and it was almost here to Youzhou. What I told you is the truth. If there was a half lie, I would be hit by lightning and would not die well!"

After hearing this, the soldiers exchanged glances with each other, thinking about the truth or falsehood of this matter, thinking that they had to report the situation to the Prime Minister as soon as possible. After all, the matter of this secret passage is extraordinary.

The night was already deep, and there was silence around, and only the dim light in the basement was still swaying.

After hearing what the big man said, the soldiers thought that this matter was very important, but they were really sleepy at this moment and their eyelids were fighting.

A soldier yawned and said, "It's really too late today. The Prime Minister probably has stopped now. It's not appropriate for us to report now."

Several other soldiers nodded and agreed: "Yes, yes, this man can't escape anyway. Let's wait for tomorrow morning and report this matter to the Prime Minister in high spirits. Now, take turns to guard him first, so don't make any mistakes."

After saying that, they arranged a vigil order, and waited for dawn to inform Xi Yu of this important news about the secret passage.

The next morning, the sun had just shined on the eaves of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and a soldier rushed over.

He saw Xi Yu nervously and reported the confession of the man last night.

Xi Yu's originally calm face changed color instantly and said in surprise: "There is a secret passage that can directly lead to Youzhou? This is a big deal! Whether it is an old passage or has been recently excavated, the hidden dangers are immeasurable."

The soldier responded respectfully.

"Prime Minister, the man didn't know the origin of the secret passage, so he only found it by chance. But from a small perspective, this is indeed a rare clue, and perhaps he can use it to find out the secret hidden behind it."

Xi Yu nodded slightly, his eyes showing coldness and decisiveness.

"Go back quickly and ask the soldiers to interrogate the man again. Be sure to let him lead the way to the residential area where the secret passage was discovered. The prince then arranged personnel to go and investigate together. He must find out the truth about this matter and must not let Youzhou's safety be at all."

"As for the order, Prime Minister!" After receiving the order, the soldier quickly turned around and left.

Xi Yu stood there, frowned, and fell into deep thought.

The soldiers returned to the dark cell where the man was imprisoned with a cold expression, and their steps were stepping on the stone floor and making a dull echo.

The torches in the corner flashed, reflecting the man's tired but determined face.

"What's your name? Where are you living?" The soldier in charge asked loudly, his eyes as if he was about to penetrate the soul of the man.

The big man raised his head slightly, his eyes calm.

"My name is Wang Hu, and I am from Pizhou."

"Wang Hu, now you can lead the way immediately and go to the secret passage you mentioned." The soldier took a step forward, unbuttoned the chains on Wang Hu's body, grabbed his arm, and pulled him from the ground.

Wang Hu moved his numb body for a moment, without any resistance, and silently walked towards the prison door.

The soldiers followed closely behind, the weapons in their hands flashed cold light in the faint light, and they watched vigilantly.

After a while, Wang Hu suddenly stopped, turned around, and looked at the soldiers behind him coldly.

"If you really find the secret passage this time, I have made great contributions. Now that I have come to this point, I have nothing to ask for. I just hope you can give me some pleasure and let me die more easily."

The soldiers looked at each other, all of whom looked puzzled.

The soldier in charge frowned and stepped forward and asked, "Why are you asking for death so much? Now that the secret passage is revealed, there may be a glimmer of hope."
