“Jian Xun, do you really want to die here?”

He wanted to ignore Jian Xun, but he knew he could not escape alone. He had to rely on Jian Xun. They had to work together to escape.

“You need to wake up! Even if you die, you can’t die here!” He lowered his voice and shouted at Jian Xun.

He knew why Jian Xun was so frightened. Wasn’t it because he heard what the villagers said and felt that his life was in danger?

But so what?

He could not understand. If Jian Xun knew he was about to die, shouldn’t he resist?

How could he believe he would certainly die, refuse to put up a fight, and knock himself out? What hope could there be?

Jian Xun could hear Prince De’s voice but ignored him.

He was filled with regret. He regretted coming to the southern border with Prince De. Even if he thought he could make a contribution, this was the southern border! It was where Prince Zhan Yun belonged!

Even if he relinquished his control over the 18 Stockaded Villages at the southern border, wasn’t there a proverb that said, “a centipede may die but never fall?”

“Do you want to escape, Prince De?”

Finally, he replied to Prince De. His voice was lifeless.

But Prince De finally heaved a sigh of relief when he heard his voice.

As long as he could respond to him, they would still have a chance to escape. After all, humans were the ones who came up with solutions.

“We’ll think of a way to escape,” he said.

“Pft.” Jian Xun sneered. “Prince De, you should save your breath. Have you forgotten where we are?”

“You…” Prince De was furious.

What was wrong with this person? He had not spoken for many days, and the silence was suffocating. But why was he so aggressive now that he had finally spoken?

Did he offend him? Why was he speaking to him like that? Why was he being so sarcastic?

So what if they were in the 18 Stockaded Villages? Couldn’t they still try to escape?

“The defense of the 18 Stockaded Villages is strict, but no matter how strict it is, there will always be loopholes. I believe we can definitely escape,” he said through gritted teeth.

He knew that escaping from this place was harder than ascending to the heavens, but was he not allowed to have hope?

“Loopholes?” Jian Xun continued to sneer and did not even look at Prince De. “Prince De, when have you seen a loophole with Prince Zhan Yun?”

“Prince Zhan Yun? What does this have to do with Qian Jiyun?” Prince De was stunned for a moment before asking.

However, he quickly understood. Could it be that Qian Jiyun had already taken over the 18 Stockaded Villages as he had expected? It was just that, in the eyes of outsiders, Qian Jiyun had not leaked any information?

“You’re saying that Qian Jiyun owns this place?” He almost shouted.

Jian Xun pursed his lips and did not reply.

He did not know if it was Qian Jiyun. He only knew that he had secretly overheard Chief Shen mention Prince Zhan Yun. Even if Qian Jiyun did not have the ability to take over the 18 Stockaded Villages, there still had to be some relationship between the two.

“We were all fooled by that Qian Jiyun b*stard. Is he toying with us?”
